Chapter 182 Take Them Down
The sound of horse hooves gradually became deafening, and the shouts of killing also shook the sky. The Tuo Yu people in the valley panicked for a moment, but soon they attacked the ordinary people in the valley even more brutally.
"How dare you! Capture them!" A powerful male voice suddenly emerged from the chaotic sound of horse hooves, and the sound alone was enough to terrify people.
In just a moment, the small valley was surrounded, and Liang Cheng led a group of northern Hubei troops into the valley.
He was followed closely by a team of personal soldiers holding lassoes. At the first encounter, more than a dozen Tuo Yu people were lassoed by the neck.
"The general is back! The general is here to save us!"
The people in the valley cried for joy. Some people who wanted to give up suddenly became brave and retreated to a place where they could not be killed by the Tuo Yu people.
Shen Qingqian was astonished. Is this the famous General Zhenbei? He is indeed different from ordinary generals.
It was her first time to observe the ancient regular army fighting at close range. Even though her life was not in danger, she actually felt a little curious.
But how long has it been since these people cleaned themselves up? Why are they all covered in yellow? If it weren't for the helmets on their heads that were still worn, she would have suspected that she was seeing a group of savages with lice on their heads.
While Shen Qingqian was daydreaming, Liang Cheng had already led his men to capture all the members of the Tuo Yu tribe.
"Damn it, we finally wiped out these rebellious Tuo Yu people."
"General, are you going back to camp?"
Liang Cheng's left and right lieutenants spat on the ground and spoke at the same time.
"You two still want to stay here overnight if you don't go back?" Liang Cheng firmly reined in the horse, glanced at Shen Qingqian and the others, and instructed, "Find out what these people do and report back tomorrow."
No one noticed that his gaze narrowed slightly when he saw Sheng Ze.
After he said that, he turned his horse around, shouted "Gee", and rushed out of the valley.
The man on the left said to the man behind him, "Did you hear what the general said? Take your men and stay here. After you figure it out, return to the camp."
"Why is it me again? Shouldn't it be Tiger's turn this time?" the man said dissatisfiedly.
The man on the left turned his sword around and hit him on the head with the handle. "You've been too laid back lately and forgotten your responsibilities. Is Tiger the one responsible for this kind of thing?"
After saying that, he ignored the man, waved his hand, and shouted, "Return to camp!"
The group of people left in a short while.
The man who was left behind was named Tan Cheng. He was a counselor under Deputy General Zuo and was responsible for managing various miscellaneous matters on a daily basis.
The reason he didn't want to stay today was simply because they had been away for more than half a month, and he just wanted to go back quickly, take a good shower and have a good sleep.
"What are you doing here? Is this the place you should be?" Because he was in a bad mood, Tan Cheng asked very impolitely.
He was sitting on a horse, and Shen Qingqian and others had to look up at him.
It was impossible for women like Mrs. Wu to reply at this time, and the others didn't know whether they were scared or what, but no one took the initiative to stand up.
Seeing this, Shen Jun had no choice but to step forward and said, "Your Excellency, we are refugees who arrived here a few days ago. This valley was allocated to us for reclamation."
"Convicts clearing wasteland." Tan Cheng raised an eyebrow and glanced at the hoes and other items in their hands. "It certainly looks like that. Okay, one of you can go back with me and ask a few questions. Come back after you're done."
He simply pointed at Shen Jun and said, "It's you, follow me."
Mr. Shen couldn't refuse, so he turned around and said a few words to Mrs. Wu and followed her.
As soon as they left, the valley was in an uproar.
