Chapter 742: After a great victory, it’s time to say goodbye!
"Asshole!" Qi Jing threw the secret report to the ground.
"What divine punishment! That's clearly..." He swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
Even if Luzhi has not been able to send out any news, he is not a fool and it is impossible for him not to see any clues.
He looked out the window at Qu Feng, who was being kept under house arrest in another courtyard under the pretext of medical treatment.
When Qu Feng rescued people outside the tent, he revealed his identity. His original intention was to enter Huluguan directly, showing the "great love of doctors"...
As a result, Qi Jing's actions were directly restricted because of his selfish thoughts.
However, Qu Feng knew that Ran Qingxuan was not someone to be trifled with, so he was not afraid of this, thinking that no matter how bad he was, how bad could he be...
Who knew that he had underestimated Qi Jing's shamelessness.
Qi Jing had no idea what was going on in Qu Feng's mind. He looked at the disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect. At the moment, the disciple was leisurely pruning potted plants, as if he didn't care at all whether he was imprisoned or not.
"Your Highness!" the aide whispered.
"Gu Yanchen and his wife are not sure when to leave Huluguan and return to Beiguan. Should we..."
The aide made a gesture of wiping his neck, the meaning was very clear, but it was quickly rejected by Qi Jing.
"Whether it was before or now, even if you want to control him, you have to consider Ran Qingxuan's methods!"
Since the other party has already started to show his cards, Qi Jing knows that this is not the right time to fall out, and he has more important things to plan for.
Qi Jing tapped the window lightly with his fingertips and whispered, "Tell the spies at the North Gate to keep a close eye on the couple's every move."
He narrowed his remaining phoenix eye: "Especially...that Madam Gu!"
A breeze blew across the Hulu Pass city wall. Chang Hu stood on the arrow tower with his sword in hand, squinting at the black dots approaching in the distance. They were the patrol team sent out yesterday.
"General..." Zhao Tiezhu rubbed his hands and moved closer.
"Yuan Bao is truly amazing. That beast smelled Green Branch's handkerchief and was able to recognize the same scent on these people!"
Chang Hu sneered. The psychic black panther raised by Ran Qingxuan was patrolling in the camp last night and suddenly bared its teeth and growled at several soldiers.
After this mention, he remembered that these people usually like to gather near the central military tent...
He was originally worrying about how to find the spy, but he didn't expect that Yuanbao would find him.
"Where did you take the person?" Chang Hu asked in a deep voice.
"The old place, the cliff." Zhao Tiezhu made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"As you ordered, we made it look like we were encountering bandits, and we also dealt with the green branch that followed Madam."
Chang Hu nodded, and after a long silence, he turned around and went down the city.
When passing by the wounded camp, bursts of laughter were heard from inside. Ran Qingxuan, Zheng Borui and others were removing stitches for the last batch of wounded soldiers.
He paused for a moment and heard the clear voice gently admonishing: "Don't let the wound get wet, eat light food for the next two months, and occasionally eat meat..."
When night fell, dozens of low tables were set up on the training ground.
The roasted whole lamb that Ran Qingxuan took out from the space was golden and juicy, and the jar of fine wine was fragrant. The soldiers were reserved at first, but after three bowls of wine, they opened their mouths and started to fight.
"Sister-in-law!" Chang Hu staggered to the main table carrying a jar of wine.
"Brother, I have to toast you!" He tilted his head back and drank the wine, which dripped down his beard.
"Without you... Huluguan would have been gone long ago!"
Ran Qingxuan drank tea instead of wine and was about to stand up when he was held down by Gu Yanchen.
Chang Hu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he grabbed Gu Yanchen's shoulders with his big hands like iron pliers: "Brother Gu... do you know how I've been doing these days?"
His voice trembled as he said, "Three thousand versus fifty thousand... Every night when I close my eyes, I see the gates being broken and people dying..."
Gu Yanchen supported the staggering Chang Hu and patted him on the back: "Soon, all this will be over."
Chang Hu didn't understand the deep meaning of the words, he just wiped his tears: "You are leaving tomorrow...Brother...Brother..."
As he said this, he suddenly vomited all over the floor and fell to the ground with a bang.
Zhao Tiezhu apologized with red eyes, and after a word, he quickly took people to carry the commander away. Ran Qingxuan looked at Chang Hu's back and sighed: "Brother Chang, as the commander, is under too much pressure."
"So we have to go."
Gu Yanchen held Ran Qingxuan's hand: "Beiguan..."
Before he could finish his words, a thin figure approached with a shy smile. It was Shi Di, the youngest member of the team of 100.
He is not even seventeen years old, but at this moment he is holding a shiny sniper rifle, with red eyes.
"Husband, Madam..." The young man's voice choked.
"Are you really going to take this gun away?"
He heard Ran Qingxuan mention this when they were drinking just now.
When Ran Qingxuan heard him say this, her heart softened. She remembered that Chang Hu had told her that Shi Di was only five years old when his parents died at the hands of the barbarians.
Every night during the past few days, before returning the weapons, the boy would oil each part, his movements as gentle as if he was taking care of a baby.
"Shi Di!" She took the gun and took out an exquisite dagger from her sleeve like a magic trick.
"This is for you." The words 'Blood debt must be paid with blood' were engraved on the ebony handle.
"As long as the gun is there, the person will die...but some grudges don't necessarily have to be settled with guns."
The young man took the dagger and held it tightly. Suddenly he knelt down and kowtowed three times, then turned around and ran into the night.
Ran Qingxuan looked at his back and shook her head helplessly. There were some things she could change, but there were also times when she couldn't change them.
At dawn the next day, the convoy was ready to go, and the hundred-man team was lined up in neat rows. Although they no longer had hot weapons, the murderous atmosphere was not diminished in the slightest.
Chang Hu was still drunk, so Zhao Tiezhu had to see him off.
"Madam." Zhao Tiezhu took out a package and handed it forward respectfully.
"The general gave it to me." When he unfolded it, it turned out to be a fiery red fox fur coat.
"The general said that even in spring, the wind is still strong at night in Beiguan..."
Ran Qingxuan stroked the soft fur and suddenly remembered something. He took out a wooden box from the carriage and said, "Give this to Brother Chang. If there is any emergency, please speak here within 20 kilometers of our location. We can hear you."
"Yes, ma'am!" Zhao Tiezhu took it carefully, thinking that this must be 'Thousand Miles Sound Transmission'...
The carriage started moving slowly, and Yuanbao suddenly jumped out of the window, ran to a huge rock on the side of the road, raised his head and let out a long roar.
On the wall of the pass, Chang Hu's figure could be vaguely seen standing there, his iron armor reflecting the rising sun, like a silent mountain.
Gu Yanchen put his arm around his wife's shoulders: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at the hope." Ran Qingxuan stroked his abdomen gently and looked at the young faces lined up to see him off.
The fire burning in their eyes is more awe-inspiring than any hot weapon.
Huluguan gradually disappeared from sight, but in a short while...
"Ouch..." The carriage suddenly stopped and Ran Qingxuan almost hit the window frame. Gu Yanchen quickly held him in his arms, with murderous intent in his eyes.
He lifted the curtain of the carriage with a sword in hand, and saw Shan Qi, who was driving, put away his sword and ran towards him with a smile.
"Third brother? Fifth brother?" After seeing the person on the horse opposite clearly, Gu Yanchen's voice suddenly rose and he jumped off the carriage in one step.
