At dawn, the thin man sent out a band of bandits to scavenge for food in the surrounding area.
As the sun gradually rises, another bloody battle begins.
Countless bandits launched a fierce attack on Anping County from all directions.
The piled-up corpses nearly buried the entire city wall of Anping County.
Even so, the rebels still failed to capture Anping County.
Even if a few bandits managed to climb the city wall, they would be killed by the arriving soldiers in no time.
Mu Zian's troops are all elite soldiers and fierce generals, making it easy for him to deal with these bandits.
As the signal to retreat was given, the rebels left behind nearly 20,000 corpses outside Anping City.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the bandit camp was eerily somber.
In just two days, more than half of the 100,000-strong army was lost, although those who died were just cannon fodder who were coerced into joining the cause.
However, such a brutal casualty ratio is still chilling.
Moreover, the people sent out in the morning to search for food returned empty-handed.
After all, the entire Luzhou area has already been plundered by them once, so how could they possibly find any more food?
In contrast, Anping County not only had ample food supplies, but also high morale.
With the tide turning and the tide turning, defeat was inevitable. Although he still had the Qiang cavalry as a trump card, he would never use it unless absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, he would be the first one to be eaten by this pack of hungry wolves.
As night fell, the slender man sat in the center of the large tent, holding his forehead.
All around was silent when suddenly the candlelight beside him began to flicker.
The slender man suddenly opened his eyes and then spoke in a cold voice.
"Now that you're here, why hide yourself?"
"Hehehe!"
A chilling laugh echoed from the darkness.
Then a dark figure emerged indifferently from the shadows.
He was shrouded in black, with only his cold, sinister eyes visible.
The bright red spider lily blooming on his collar already revealed his identity.
The most feared assassin organization in the martial arts world: the Six Burial Hall.
"As expected of Gongsun Yi, the mighty general of the Great Chu, he discovered me so quickly."
Upon hearing the man in black's words, Gongsun Yi sneered.
"The Great Chu has already fallen, and the Heavenly General Lingtian is long dead. Now there is only the bandit Gongsun Yi left."
If the name "Great Chu Lingtian General" were heard by the Emperor of Dali in the palace, an expression of disbelief would surely appear on his face.
Twenty years ago, when the world was in chaos, Dali was just a small country located in a remote corner.
Back then, the Great Chu was the most powerful superpower in the world, and Gongsun Yi was the most shining star among the generals of the Great Chu.
He joined the army at the age of fifteen, and by the age of eighteen, he had earned the reputation of a mighty warrior who would resound throughout the land.
If things go according to the script, the Great Chu should sweep across the world, and Gongsun Yi should be enfeoffed as a marquis and appointed as prime minister, reaching the pinnacle of power!
Everything was going well until one person appeared.
He relied on five hundred personal guards to storm into the Eastern Palace of Dali and kill the Crown Prince.
Then, carrying the crown prince's head, he fought his way through the palace, killing anyone who stood in his way.
This forced the then emperor to abdicate and assist the current Emperor Xiao Yu of Dali to ascend the throne, and Mu Zhanying was granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo!
Mu Zhanying led his elite troops to victory in every battle, and in less than ten years, he completely destroyed the arrogant Great Chu.
The legendary general Ling Tian, who should have been famous throughout the land, was swept into the dustbin of history along with the fall of the Great Chu.
Everyone believed that the mighty general Lingtian of the Great Chu had died in the war that destroyed the Great Chu.
However, no one expected that twenty years later, he would once again stir up a bloody storm on the territory of Dali.
The atmosphere inside the tent was somewhat heavy, and the flickering candlelight cast shadows on Gongsun Yi's face.
The man in black spoke first.
How about we make a deal?
Gongsun Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a series of clattering sounds.
What good deal could we possibly make between us?
The man in black chuckled, like two rusty gears grinding against each other.
"It is said that when the Great Chu was destroyed, the last emperor of Great Chu hid countless gold and silver treasures in a certain place, in order to have the opportunity to restore Great Chu with this money in the future."
"And General Lingtian, as the minister entrusted with the care of the last emperor of the Great Chu, must know where this treasure is."
"If you can tell me everything you know, I'll help you kill that person in Anping City."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, that person in Anping City is Mu Zi'an, the son of Mu Zhanying, the Duke of Zhenguo who destroyed the Great Chu."
"How about it? Isn't this deal a great deal? It can not only help you get out of your current predicament, but also help you get revenge."
Gongsun Yi sneered.
"Just for such a vague rumor? You Six Burial Halls aren't the type to suffer losses."
The man in black laughed heartily upon hearing this.
"As expected, nothing can escape the eyes of General Lingtian."
"Mu Zian has long been on my Six Burial Hall's kill list. The defeat of the Asura Hall back then dealt a severe blow to our Six Burial Hall's business."
"If we can't solve this problem, won't people in the martial arts world think that my Six Burial Hall is just a name without substance?"
"Moreover, there are people in the Dali court who do not want Dali to have another Duke Zhenguo, so Mu Zian must die."
"I came to see you today because I wanted to do you a small favor."
Gongsun Yi replied coldly upon hearing this.
What's in it for you to help me?
