Did he think he could escape?
"Bring me my bow and arrows."
The personal guard immediately handed over the bow and arrow, and the Black Iron Cavalry general drew the bow and arrow, aiming in the direction of the bandit leader.
After a few breaths, a sharp arrow shot out like a rocket.
The bandit leader seemed to feel a strong wind coming from behind him. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a "puff" sound, which was the sound of an arrow piercing through flesh.
He lowered his head and looked at the arrow in his chest, his eyes full of fear and disbelief.
"Boom"...
He fell straight off his horse.
The bandits were killed and all the slaves were taken away by the soldiers.
After all, those slaves were of unknown origin, so it was impossible to bring them to the military stronghold. They were all placed in nearby villages and towns, and people from other government offices came to pick them up. Only Zhang Xiuhong was taken away by them.
At this time, in the military tent, Bei Lin was discussing war plans with other generals. After the discussion was over, the Black Iron Cavalry general walked into the tent.
"General Bei." The Black Iron Cavalry general knelt down and saluted.
Beilin looked at the newcomer and said, "Yunqi, you're here at the right time."
General Yunqi walked to the sand table and looked at it with Beilin.
"Is the Great Zhou Dynasty interested in making any moves?"
"No."
"We need to keep a close eye on the Great Zhou, lest they take advantage of the chaos to attack and seize our front and rear. This matter is extremely important, and I need your full attention."
"This is my duty."
Beilin patted his shoulder with satisfaction.
"General, I have something to report."
"What's the matter?" Beilin looked at the sand table, as if thinking about the next attack plan.
Yunqi said, "On my way back from patrol, I encountered a group of bandits who were escorting a group of slaves to the State of Jin. One of the slaves claimed to be your cousin."
Beilin turned his gaze from the sand table to Yunqi, "This general's cousin?"
He doesn't have many cousins. His mother is an only child, so where would he get a cousin from? Unless she is a distant cousin, but it seems that there are only cousins from distant places. Cousins are rare.
No, there was one many years ago, but he died at a very young age.
"This general doesn't have any cousins." Beilin said in surprise.
Yunqi was stunned. "But the slave took a silk handkerchief, which seemed to be a personal belonging of the young lady."
Beilin frowned slightly, "Bring that woman up here."
"yes."
In a rest tent, Zhang Xiuhong had washed and changed into clean clothes, and the wounds on her body had been bandaged. At this time, she was walking back and forth in the tent feeling uneasy.
After a long time, the curtain was lifted and a soldier said to her, "The general wants to see you. Please follow me."
Zhang Xiuhong followed the soldier through the numerous tents and came to the commander's tent in the middle of the camp, and followed the soldier into the tent.
Zhang Xiuhong followed the soldiers and saluted. After the soldiers left, Zhang Xiuhong and the other two were the only ones left in the room.
Beilin looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Look up."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiuhong slowly raised her head, her expression tense and her eyes timid, "General."
"You claim to be this general's cousin. What's your name? Where do you live? What were your father's names?"
Zhang Xiuhong was stared at by Bei Lin's sharp eyes. Her heart was shaking and her voice was trembling. "I, I..."
Seeing her hesitating, Beilin and Yunqi were both smart people and could see the problem at a glance.
