Guo Yuanzhen dispatched a lot of additional people from the pass, and the sound of horse hooves shook the valley. As he approached, Di Zhao and others stood on both sides to welcome him through.
As he approached, he first scanned both sides of the valley, then raised his hand and waved. The soldiers behind him immediately split into two teams, advancing from his left and right, surrounding Ayan Lianshan in the middle.
Ayan Lianshan blew a whistle, and the crossbowmen immediately aimed their arrows at Guo Yuanzhen.
Di Zhao's expression changed slightly, but Guo Yuanzhen remained as steady as a rock.
"Where's the keepsake?"
Ayan Lianshan threw the bag over.
Guo Yuanzhen opened the bundle and took out the Shuangli letter. He opened the mailbox and took out the letter paper. He looked at it with the help of a torch and was stunned to see that the letter was empty.
Just as he was about to get angry, he discovered a small box in the bundle. He patiently opened it and found a jade tiger sitting in the box. He picked it up and looked at it carefully, his expression becoming a little subtle.
Seeing him frowning and silent, Di Zhao stepped forward and asked, "General, is there something wrong with this token?"
When Ayan Lianshan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He then looked at Zhao Xiu, but could only barely make out Zhao Xiu's vague outline in the crowd.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
"There's no problem with the token." Guo Yuanzhen's voice pulled him back, and then he heard Guo Yuanzhen ask, "Where is Zhao Xiu?"
Zhao Xiu silently retracted his head.
Di Zhao raised his hand and pointed to the river bank. Without saying a word, Guo Yuanzhen took his bow and arrow and shot at Zhao Xiu.
Ayan Lianshan was caught off guard by his sudden attack, and it was too late for him to stop him. The crossbowmen did not dare to move because Ayan Lianshan was still surrounded by the enemy, so they did not stop him.
The arrow broke through the air and entered his body. Zhao Xiu let out a scream from the river bank, and the two Turks who were in charge of guarding him also exclaimed.
Ayan Lianshan's heart sank.
There was a dead silence in the valley.
A moment later, a Turk climbed to the edge of the cliff and reported: "Eagle Master... Zhao Xiu, is dead."
A Yan Lianshan glared at Guo Yuanzhen, "General Guo, what do you mean?"
Guo Yuanzhen tossed the bow to Di Zhao, then took out the jade tiger and played with it, saying, "This is the agreement between me and King Ying. Take the token and kill the messenger."
This also means that the capital is ready for an uprising, and he no longer has to worry about it.
As for the Turkic barbarians in front of them, it was no longer cooperation, but coercion and orders.
He clapped his hands, and more people came out from behind him, raising their bows and crossbows to aim at Ayan Lianshan and the crossbowman on the cliff.
Guo Yuanzhen looked at A Yanlianshan with disdain, as if he were looking at an ant that could be crushed at any time. "Don't you want to discuss cooperation with me? Go ahead."
A Yan Lianshan didn't know what Yu Hu meant. He just thought it was amazing how quickly this man changed his attitude, so he said in a deep voice, "Guo Yuanzhen, don't you want to break out?"
"I think I've caught you, haven't I?" Guo Yuanzhen nodded, then said to Ayan Lianshan, "I heard that your Turkic Falcon Division has many talented scouting experts."
He looked up at the crossbowmen on both sides of the valley. "To be able to hide so many people under Wei Chifei's nose, I think they are indeed quite capable. But I wonder how many of them will be left if I kill them all here today?"
A Yan felt a chill run down her spine, blaming herself for underestimating the enemy, believing Guo Yuanzhen wouldn't dare mobilize troops within Hexi. She hadn't expected him to be so bold. She also hadn't expected her plan for this hidden route to facilitate his advance, putting herself and the two hundred or so elite Eagle Division soldiers in danger.
"What are your conditions?"
"Follow me back to Beiting. Let's sit down and discuss our future plans."
Ayan Lianshan clenched his fists, and the crossbowmen on the river bank didn't dare to breathe.
No one noticed that Zhao Xiu, who was originally "dead", slowly opened his eyes and quietly moved behind the cliff.
In the valley, Ayan Lianshan and Guo Yuanzhen stared at each other for a while, then squeezed out a bloody sound from between their teeth, "Okay..."
Before he could finish, he suddenly felt a violent earthquake beneath his feet, and then sand and rocks began to fall from both sides of the valley.
He couldn't help but startled, looked up and around, and shouted to the crossbowmen: "What's going on?"
The crossbowmen were also confused, "I'm afraid it's an earthquake!"
Guo Yuanzhen's men also panicked. Di Zhao felt something was wrong and said to Guo Yuanzhen, "General, this doesn't sound like an earthquake!"
Guo Yuanzhen cursed loudly, "Damn it! I've fallen into a trap! Get out of here!"
"Master Eagle, catch the rope!" A crossbowman saw Guo Yuanzhen's men retreating, so he took the opportunity to throw down the rope and pulled Ayan Lianshan up.
Ayanlian came up the mountain and saw dark tides surging from all directions. Looking closely, she saw countless black-armored soldiers.
Wei Chifei’s Black Armor Camp!
He looked down at the ground again, but there was no trace of Zhao Xiu. He immediately pulled over a crossbowman and shouted, "Where's he?"
The crossbowman was confused, "Who?"
"Zhao Xiu!"
Several crossbowmen beside him looked at the place where Zhao Xiu's body was lying, but the place was empty. Not to mention a body, there was not even a ghost.
"It was here just now...how come it's gone?"
A Yan Lianshan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He gritted his teeth and shouted to everyone, "Retreat quickly!"
After saying this, he ran towards the trade road outside the valley, but when he ran out, he saw that all the horses they brought had scattered. He finally caught up with one, but suddenly saw a man and a horse galloping towards the east in the dark!
"Zhao Xiu! You dead dog, you lied to me again!"
He snatched the crossbow from the crossbowman next to him and shot an arrow at Zhao Xiu.
Zhao Xiu paused, then stood up straight, turned his back to him, waved his hands, and shouted, "See you later, Turkic barbarian!"
Ayan Lianshan almost broke his teeth.
The subordinates urged, "Master Eagle, let's leave quickly! Otherwise we won't be able to escape!"
Ayan Lianshan spat out a mouthful of blood foam and rode his horse towards the north.
Zhao Xiu! He won't let him go, this cunning dead dog!
At the bottom of the valley, Guo Yuanzhen whipped his horse and turned back quickly. Just as he was about to drive out of the end of the valley, several kerosene arrows were shot in front of him.
The horse under his crotch was startled and almost kicked over. When he finally controlled the horse and wanted to move forward, he saw a group of black cavalry coming towards him.
Looking at both sides of the valley, the red torches were like long dragons swimming, lighting up the entire valley as bright as day.
A man riding a tall horse walked slowly from the darkness to the firelight.
He flashed his two white teeth and said to Guo Yuanzhen with a sly smile, "How are you, Old Guo?"
Who else could it be if not that bastard Wei Chifei!
Guo Yuanzhen's eyes were bloodshot. "Fuck you, I hope you're alright!" He looked like he was alright?
