"You...you don't want to be bodyguards, don't want to be a thousand-man captain?!"

A stream of blood spurted out of the deputy commander's body uncontrollably. He was shocked and couldn't believe that these lowly peasants would refuse such generous conditions.

"Ha!" 굜 Er sneered and roughly pulled the long knife out of his abdomen.

"Fuck you! You want me to be a servant to such a treacherous person? I don't care about any benefits!"

This deputy commander looked like a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death. He must have told them everything he knew in order to let them let him go.

Everyone knew that King Kang had done many good things after he moved to his fiefdom, and they all thought he was different from other kings. If they heard the deputy commander's confession, their firm trust in him would gradually waver.

Thinking about it more carefully, I always feel that King Kang had other purposes in doing those things.

Even if everyone didn't care about what he did before, the fact that he had secretly signed an alliance with the Xirong people was enough to completely change everyone's view of him.

Not to mention that the Western Rong people were savages and had always treated the people of Southern Qi like animals.

If King Kang really signed the treaty for the sake of his country, he wouldn't have done it so secretly. Such sneaky behavior must be selling out tens of millions of Southern Qi people for personal gain!

Military exercises, business dealings... He sounds very reasonable, but who knows what he is planning behind the scenes?!

The more the strong men thought about it, the more scared they felt. No one was interested, and they all turned their eyes to Xue Huai.

Xue Huai also looked a little solemn. After thinking for a while, he said, "Bury them first."

"I always feel that something big is happening, and we should not stay here for long. Cousin, didn't you find a remote path that can bypass the guards near Yunzhong County and return to the village?"

"Why don't we all go back first? If there is any chaos recently, more people will be able to protect our families. Anyway, there was a storm just now. If nothing changes afterwards, when the soldiers come to ask why we returned home, we can also say that it was the storm that made us lost."

Xue Huai's cousin Xie Min had just taken the medicine given by the military doctor and had almost recovered. After listening to Xue Huai's analysis, he nodded in agreement.

"I just saw the King Kang's guards retreat to the west. I will lead everyone back to the east in a while."

"We buried these people deeper, and messed up their traces on the sand when we left. It happened to be windy right now, so it shouldn't take long to wipe out our traces. Otherwise, the guards would find our traces next to the bodies of the generals and suspect us."

All the strong men knew that Xie Min and Xue Huai were brothers, one with a very good memory and the other very smart. They were all ignorant farmers, so they thought there was nothing wrong with what he said, and immediately cleared the traces nearby as he said.

Before leaving, many strong men had not yet recovered from the rare astronomical phenomenon. Xiao Yiyi asked Xue Huai:

"Xue...Brother Xue, that was a divine appearance just now, right? It was the God of Wind who appeared, right?!"

They had clearly seen the Xirong people in the front drawing their bows and arrows at them. Hundreds of arrows were about to reach them, but they were blown away by a gust of wind!

And that terrifying storm! It seemed to have eyes, attacking only the Western Rong people and leaving the Southern Qi people alone!

How could there be such a human storm in this world? !

Xue Huai was also lost in thought as he watched the sandstorm gradually subside in the distance. Unlike other strong men, he had dealt with the Xirong people when he was young and knew some simple Xirong language.

Amidst the screams just now, he clearly heard words like "formation", "sand wall", and "weapons".

It can be seen that the destruction of the Xirong people was not as simple as an ordinary storm. It seems that there is an extremely powerful person behind the scenes controlling everything...

He knew that such profound things were not something that an ordinary person like him could speculate on, so he naturally would not talk about it casually.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Maybe. But when gods and immortals show themselves, they will suffer from karma..."

Before he finished speaking, a younger and stronger man beside him said happily, "I know! Whenever gods go out, they will bring disaster upon themselves. I think the wind god must have had mercy on us and couldn't help but come out to save us."

"Brother Xue, please let go. We will not easily expose our whereabouts!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you Wind God for saving our lives. We will never tell anyone about this!" The strong men also thought he was right and hurriedly bowed to him in the distance.

"Woo woo... Dad, Mom, did you see that? The God of Wind appeared and repaid the debt owed to us by the Xirong people!"

"Wuwu... God damn the Xirong people! You deserve it, you have nothing to lose!"

The men bowed again and again in gratitude. Every time they recalled the past, their tears could not be controlled and fell, but this time they turned into tears of relief.

Here, Xue Huai and Xie Min were hurriedly organizing the evacuation of several hundred strong men. A few sand dunes away, the guards looked at the dust all over the sky and felt a little helpless.

"Grandson...grandson, what should we do now?" one centurion asked another centurion uncertainly.

The latter was always alert and capable, and the junior officers always liked to listen to his opinions.

Coincidentally, the centurion named Sun also knew a little about Xirong language, and he also heard that the storm was not simple.

He pondered for a moment and decided to pretend he didn't know. He just said, "There have been many strange things happening in Nanqi recently, so it's not surprising that such a big storm suddenly broke out."

"The Xirong people don't understand the laws of the sky. When they see a storm, they don't know how to avoid it. Instead, they run into it. From our perspective, we feel that the storm is targeting them."

"We are lucky to have escaped this disaster, but the appearance of the Xirong army at the border of Southern Qi is a big deal. We must report to our superiors immediately!"

None of the soldiers understood Xirong language, so they didn't doubt what he said. However, a few Qing soldiers trembled and asked:

"Then...what about the deputy commander?"

Everyone still remembered that it was the deputy commander and several military officers who tried their best to stop them from fighting the enemy, so they couldn't have a good impression of them now. But according to the laws of the Southern Qi Dynasty, if a general had an accident, the personal guards would be severely punished. They couldn't just leave them alone and let themselves suffer when they returned.

Old Sun was silent for a moment, and could only say: "Leave a few teams to guard the ruins of the King of Gaochang, send a few teams to find the whereabouts of the deputy commander and others, and the rest of you will go back with me to report the truth."

"If they can't find the person, everyone will say that there was a sudden storm and they were swept away while fleeing in a hurry. It is said that the law does not punish everyone. Even if the prince blames someone, he probably won't punish so many people severely."

Most of the guards followed the old man and his men. When the people guarding the storehouse returned, they saw that the treasures that were piled up before were all gone!

What was even more outrageous was that even the dozens of horse-drawn carriages that were prepared to transport the property, along with several damaged stables, horse troughs, horse tethers, and dozens of bags of fine feed that they had just transported, as well as dozens of baskets of horse manure that they had collected and sold for money, were all gone!

What happened?! All blown away by the storm?!

The wind blew away the stable and the carriage, and blew away all the treasures in the warehouse and the copper rings on the door that were worth some money, leaving only a huge house standing here?!

Ahhh! Someone must have stolen the things while they weren't paying attention!

Where did this thief come from to eat so cleanly?! If he hadn't left a house as a cover, I'm afraid he would have carried away even the wall of the warehouse, and I would have had to put on my pants when I passed by, right?!

The guards were shocked but realized that this was a serious matter, so they quickly sent a small team back to report the incident.

After a burst of chaotic shouting, the camp returned to silence again.

After a few dunes, Nancy nestled in the arms of a little boy, drank a glass of juice-flavored spiritual spring water, ate a mini chicken breast sandwich made by the little boy, and enjoyed a perfect full-body massage from someone.

While enjoying life, you will naturally listen to everything going on around you.

As they had guessed, the deputy commander of the personal guards was ordered by King Kang, and he would never do anything on his own to make everyone give up resistance. He did so before only because he knew that King Kang and the Xirong people were on good terms with each other and would not attack them without reason.

Unfortunately, the cunning King Kang was still tricked by the Western Rong people. I guess even he himself did not expect that the Western Rong people would tear up the contract so quickly and rush over to rob him of all his treasures.

Alas! Sure enough, those who use evil means will never have a good ending. Even if they are at peace on the surface, they are still plotting against each other behind their backs. It would be strange if they didn't bite each other to death!

Nancy Sheng squinted her eyes to enjoy the rare bright sunset in this season, while munching on her sandwich with relish.

She thought the original book man was really conscious! She asked Zhaocai to translate a few modern recipes in her space into classical Chinese and show them to him. After just a few days, he was able to make a sandwich that looked pretty good.

Although there is no oven, the bread on both sides can only be replaced by steamed buns. But it does not make it feel inferior, but more suitable for Chinese baby stomachs.

Sheng Nanxi ate several more pieces in a row and couldn't help but sighed with satisfaction.

But suddenly I thought of something, and I had a bad feeling. I frowned and asked Gu Yuancheng:

"Did a coup d'état take place in the Xirong tribe two years ago? The King of Kunyi was originally the leader of a weak tribe. He planned for many years to seize power from his nephew. From then on, he sidelined the King of Xirong and became the regent with all the power?!"
