Su Mo had just come out of a restaurant. After the restaurant closed, there were no other shops open on the entire street.
Due to the war, even though New Year's Eve was approaching, the streets were not very lively. People kept their doors and windows closed, and the streets were as quiet as snow.
Su Mo climbed onto his horse and prepared to return to the barracks.
Halfway through the walk, a dark shadow caught up with him silently.
The ground was frozen, so Su Mo was not moving fast.
The shadow used his lightness skills to quietly follow behind Su Mo, swung the long knife in his hand, and slashed at the back of Su Mo's neck.
Su Mo backhandedly blocked him with a sword.
He felt the force and his body turned backward in the air, his feet landed on the icy ground, and the ice cracked with a few crackling sounds.
Su Mo dismounted, holding a long sword and looking at him, he said coldly: "You have followed me all the way, but you have been patient until now to take action. Who sent you here?"
The man in black said, "You don't need to know!"
He rushed towards Su Mo again and fought with Su Mo.
After a round of fighting, Su Mo gradually realized that he had a different aura from an ordinary master: "Death warrior?"
The man in black said expressionlessly: "Since you know, just accept the death and go underground to accompany Qin Canglan to suffer less."
Su Mo's long sword blocked his knife.
It has to be admitted that the combat power of the death squad is far higher than that of ordinary masters.
The black-clothed man's moves were incredibly fast, almost blocking all of Su Mo's escape routes. However, Su Mo was no pushover, and after dozens of moves he didn't give the man any chance to take advantage.
The man in black narrowed his eyes and shot a row of hidden weapons at Su Mo, who quickly dodged.
Found it, the flaw!
He stepped onto the wall, used the momentum to leap forward, and stabbed Su Mo straight at the vital point!
Just as Su Mo was about to be split in half, something incredible happened.
Su Mo did a backflip and flew over his head. The moment he landed, he turned his back to him and stabbed backwards with the sword in his hand, piercing his heart squarely.
He looked at the tip of the sword piercing through his chest in disbelief, as if he didn't understand how Su Mo did it.
Unfortunately, he will never have an answer.
He fell straight to the ground.
Su Mo pushed him over with his foot, opened his purse with the tip of his sword, and took out a token from it.
It turned out to be Beiyan’s doing.
"He just asked me to go underground to accompany my great-uncle? Is my great-uncle in trouble?"
Su Mo frowned, rode back to the military camp as quickly as possible, and rushed back to Zibo Town with his troops overnight.
He arrived at the evening of the second day, and as soon as he reached the city gate, he saw large patches of blood.
Normally, with such heavy snow, if there had not been a terrible war, the snow at the city gate would have covered most of the open space. However, at this time, the snow on the open space had already been cleared away, and blood had penetrated into the soil, like a frozen river of blood.
Su Mo's expression changed slightly.
He looked up again at the dilapidated city wall in the cold wind, which was also covered with dried blood.
There was a war in Zibo Town...
Generally speaking, after a big battle, the city gates would be closed and martial law would be enforced, but at this time the city gates would be open, unless -
"Granduncle!"
Su Mo drew his sword: "All troops, listen up! Charge in!"
He also forced a march back to Zibo Town. The soldiers were not in very good condition, but if they were faced with a powerful enemy, they could not care less!
The deputy general waved the flagpole in his hand and shouted loudly: "Charge!"
A group of people followed Su Mo and rushed into the city with murderous intent.
Then, they were dumbfounded.
The people on the street were also dumbfounded.
As they looked at the sudden army, ready to strike with their knives sharpened, all their bargaining voices were silenced.
Liu Ren shouted from the tower: "General Su!"
Su Mo turned his horse around and looked at him in surprise: "General Liu?"
Liu Ren smiled and said, "You are finally back! Have you eaten yet? Come on, I will take you and the soldiers back to the barracks. We will have dumplings tonight!"
When they heard about dumplings, the soldiers all swallowed their saliva.
Liu Ren led a horse and walked side by side with Su Mo. He also told Su Mo how Leng Kui had taken away all the food and troops, leaving them hungry and besieged by the Beiyan people for four days and four nights.
"Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time!"
Su Mo hesitated and said, "The blood outside the city... is it from the Northern Yan army?"
Liu Ren laughed and said, "Of course not! Twenty thousand soldiers were defeated by our Red Shadow Army!"
Liu Ren unconsciously added "we" in front of the Red Shadow Army.
No matter what, we are all family members from now on. We will have a good life if we follow Boss Chiying! Su Mo asked in confusion: "What kind of army is Chiying Army? I have never heard of it before. Is it the army newly trained by my great-uncle?"
The two entered the military camp.
Liu Ren pointed at the large army on the parade ground, which was training and making great noises, and said, "Look! The Red Shadow Army!"
The reputation of the Red Shadow Army at the border has spread, and they are known for their richness and inhumanity.
In the past two days, more people have come to surrender. Originally, there were 2,000 people left in Jia County, but only 8,000 people are left. Now there are another 10,000 troops.
Liu Ren had never seen any army expand so quickly, and they were all elite soldiers and generals.
The overall coordination of this army is still immature, but the vigor and fighting power they exude are what the old army lacks.
Su Mo caught a glimpse of a familiar little face in the crowd.
Su Xiaoxiao was wearing armor but no helmet, and she stood very small next to the tall Qin Canglan.
Su Mo dismounted from his horse and walked towards her quickly.
Su Xiaoxiao turned around: "Su Mo? Cousin!"
Qin Canglan heard the voice and turned to look at him, smiling in surprise: "Mo'er is back?"
"Grandfather!" Su Mo bowed as a junior. He looked at the Red Shadow Army on the parade ground, and then at his sister in armor.
Su Xiaoxiao puffed up her chest and said, "Praise me, praise me! " Su Mo smiled gently, "Does the Red Shadow Army belong to my sister?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Su Mo smiled and said, "Sister is really amazing."
It feels comfortable.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her little chin!
Su Mo looked at her thin cheeks and the tip of her nose that was red from the cold, and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the top of her soft head.
Liu Ren took the soldiers to the barracks to eat dumplings, while Su Mo, Qin Canglan and Su Xiaoxiao returned to the commander-in-chief's tent.
Su Mo asked: "When did you come back from the Western Jin Dynasty? Why did you come to the border? Where is Wei Ting?"
They are indeed a family. These words were almost exactly the same as what Qin Canglan asked.
"You left just a few days ago, and I arrived in the capital." Su Xiaoxiao answered Qin Canglan's words and repeated them to him, including the matter of Wei Qing. "Wei Ting and I came to the border to find medicine for Wei Qing. The medicine has been obtained, and Wei Ting went to assassinate Helian Ye."
Hearing that Wei Qing was still alive and worked as a counselor in the Western Jin Dynasty, Su Mo sighed and said that each man in the Wei family was extraordinary.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile: "My cousin is not an ordinary person."
It sounds nice when my sister praises me.
Qin Canglan looked at him and asked, "Have you finished clearing out the rebels in Wancheng?"
Su Mo said: "We have cleared it out. It was all supported by Beiyan. This group of people committed all kinds of evil, including burning, killing, looting and robbing. I left no one alive. In addition, I found two pieces of information."
There should be one more
