Chapter 264 Chapter 263 Such a cruel master

An Xin was considered weak, but the soldiers who followed her avoided places where large wild animals were active, perhaps because they were afraid that she would be in danger.

Or maybe they were just unlucky today. They only shot three pheasants and a rabbit along the way, and didn't even get any decent prey.

It is said that in such a vast mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, there is no shortage of large wild animals, so it would be fine if you don't encounter them on the outskirts.

But they were now walking into deep mountains, so it would not be surprising if they encountered wolves, leopards, or tigers.

Just when An Xin felt strange, there were high and low tiger roars, accompanied by the screams of wild boars of all sizes, and mixed in with the sound of someone shouting.

An Xin and the others were stunned. What was going on?

"Oh no, something happened over there. Someone has entered the tiger's territory." An Xin reacted and hurriedly ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

She only brought 200 people in total. She might as well die here before she rescues those two brats.

"Master Jijiu, please come back quickly. It's dangerous over there." Someone saw An Xin running away quickly and shouted from behind.

Some people complained: "Why is she making trouble? If something happens, we will be unlucky too."

As he was talking, seven or eight people ran over. Although they complained, they still did their duty to protect An Xin.

An Xin ran over and saw several small teams nearby. When they heard there was danger, they all rushed over.

I thought that as expected of the close guards trained by General Yuchi and the upright General Gao, they were very aware and none of them ran away upon hearing the danger.

However, these five or six small teams, totaling thirty or forty people, were dispersed in an instant when faced with a group of more than a dozen wild boars being chased by two tigers, a male and a female.

The frightened wild boars raised their sharp fangs and rushed forward without caring what was standing in front of them.

Some of the guards were unable to dodge and had to lie down and roll to the side quickly. It was better to suffer minor injuries than to have two holes pierced by the wild boar's tusks.

There were also guards who hid behind large rocks and climbed up trees, but for a moment they were helpless against the two tigers and a group of wild boars.

When the two tigers saw the group of people, they paused for a moment. However, when they saw that the prey they had been chasing for a long time was about to run away, they didn't care about anything else and continued to chase the wild boar with great speed.

Food is scarce in winter, and both the wild boars out foraging for food and the two tigers are struggling to survive.

An Xin curled the corners of his mouth, and so did they.

During this period, not only the guards had to eat dry food on the road every day, but An Xin also ate so much that her mouth was empty. Looking at this group of more than a dozen wild boars, big and small, she decided to compete with the tiger for meat.

So whether it was someone climbing up a tree, hiding behind a rock, or the guards who had just heard the news and rushed over.

Then they saw the female priestess, who they thought was weak and had followed them to cause trouble, holding a long sword in her hand, wielding it with great power.

He wiped the wild boar's neck with a clean stroke, and blood spurted high.

"I was wrong. This guy who followed me is not a weak and incapable troublemaker." A guard sitting on a tree touched his neck, "It is clearly a big demon who is more skillful in killing than them."

Watching An Xin slaughtering the pig was like cutting leeks. After a while, a lot of them fell down.

Even the two big tigers who wanted to rush forward to snatch the food were frightened by the sword in her hand and retreated again and again. Then they let out a long and sad howl and ran away unwillingly with their tigress.

The guards seemed to see that the tiger's resentful eyes seemed to be saying to An Xin: You are such a dog.

You are doing such a shameless thing on our territory, trying to steal our food. If you are not a dog, then who is?

An Xin chased the wild boar all over the mountain. When the tiger left, he shouted, "If you don't come to help me, I guarantee you won't get a single hair of yours when you go back today."

"Ahhh, no!" The guards who were stunned by seeing An Xin kill the pigs with each clean and neat strike of the sword shouted and pounced on the remaining wild boars running around.

I’m afraid that when An Xin returns, they won’t even be able to eat pig hair.

Looking at the pile of wild boars, one of them counted them and said, "Thirteen. We can't eat them all in one meal."

"Carry it." An Xin touched his chin and said with a curled lip: "If we can't finish it, we can take it away. It won't be wasted anyway."

Seeing that he gave the order, no one hesitated and all of them swiftly carried the wild boar's guards.

Only then did An Xin truly understand what people often say: in a military camp, it is better to use your fists to knock down those who refuse to obey than to say ten words to them.

When the people who were warming themselves by the fire in the cave heard the noise outside, they came out.

Then I saw a tall woman in a black cloak, followed by a group of people carrying wild boars, roe deer, rabbits, pheasants... walking towards me with big strides.

Although An Xin was wearing a hat, she did not deliberately disguise herself to conceal her body features, and one could still tell at a glance that she was a woman.

"Your humble servant greets His Excellency, the Lord of the Imperial Court."

An Xin walked to the entrance of the cave and saw two people salutating to him. One looked to be around forty years old, and the other was about thirty years old.

She nodded politely at the two of them, "Let's talk inside."

Then he turned around to the clever Wang Ergou, whispered some instructions, then turned around and led the way into the cave.

"Hey, Er Gouzi, what did the Lord of the Imperial Court say to you just now?"

Wang Ergou scratched the back of his head and said, "My Lord asked me to find a few people to pick up more firewood. He said it would be useful later."

An Xin took off his cloak, shook off the snow on it and put it aside, then walked over and sat by the fire, stretching his hands over to keep warm.

After everyone sat down and introduced themselves to each other, he told the two of them that the emperor had asked General Chen to replace the current Central Guard General Ma Boteng and return to Beijing to tell them.

The older one is Xu Zhiyang, a fifth-rank lieutenant general, and the sturdy man in his thirties is Chai Hongzhuang, a sixth-rank captain.

After hearing this, the two were surprised for a moment, and then seemed to understand something and acted as if it was a matter of course.

The Central Guard General tricked the Major General out of the city and left him alone. When they wanted to look for him, he suppressed them and forbade them to lead their troops out of the city.

If they hadn't resisted too much and were afraid of alerting a big boss in the military camp, they would have pushed the Central Guard Army aside to play with them.

They knew that there would be movement in the capital, and An Xin was not surprised at all, because it was with their help that Awu was able to return to the capital to report the news.

The two of them must have guessed that after hearing the news, General Yuchi and General Gao would take action against Ma Boteng, the Central Guard General.

And Awu was obviously a servant in the General's Mansion, so why would he report the news to An Xin first?

That was because at that point, he knew that his general might not be in the mansion.

It is very likely that they will be in the camp outside the city. If the masters of the inner court of the mansion knew about it, they would only panic and would not be able to come up with any idea for a while.

That was why Awu was the first to report the news to An Xin. After all, he had followed Yuchi Yi for many years and knew how much he relied on An Xin as his teacher.

As for the female teacher An Xin, she is very tough on disobedient students, but she is also very protective of them to others.

Ah Wu felt that it was right to tell her about his young master's danger, which is why Ah Wu fainted at the gate of the An residence.
