"As for the Wu Ma family..." The military advisor frowned slightly.
"The Wu Ma family brought too many assassins with them. If a fight really breaks out, our chances of winning are slim."
The Wu Ma family is not comparable to that fool Shi Qiang. The family has a deep foundation and countless loyal warriors.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, they do not want to offend the Wu Ma family.
But now the Wu Ma family has joined forces with Shi Qiang and is ready to kill them, so it's a fight to the death.
Cong Chongqiu also had a headache when he thought of the assassins of the Wu Ma family.
"Go and find out first whether the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family will go to Shi Qiang's tent for dinner today."
"If the old patriarch doesn't want to go, please have someone tell Shi Qiang that this general can't go alone without the old patriarch..."
If the old patriarch went to Shi Qiang's tent, he would be confident that he could deal with everyone in the tent at once.
When the time comes, just throw all the dirty water on Shi Qiang.
He believed that with the old patriarch's cautious and suspicious nature, he would not tell those assassins what he had discussed with Shi Qiang.
After watching the military advisor leave, Cong Chongqiu thought about it carefully, and immediately called his trusted subordinates. After the group discussed in the tent for half an hour, they left in different time periods.
Not long after his trusted subordinate left, the military advisor returned to the tent.
"The old patriarch will also be there tonight."
"However, judging from Shi Qiang's expression, the old patriarch probably didn't want to go."
"Ha!" Cong Chongqiu curled his lips and sneered, "You want to catch the mantis while the oriole is behind it? No way."
"Watch out. Wait for the old patriarch to go first, then I'll go."
"...Okay." The military advisor nodded. "Who are you planning to bring with you, General?"
It would be no problem for the general to take down Shi Qiang and the old patriarch alone.
But the Wu Ma family's assassins are not easy to deal with.
The Wu Ma family is good at divination, hypnosis and medicine.
However, the Wu Ma family has long since declined, and the recent generations have not even inherited a little bit of the abilities of the Wu Ma family ancestors.
The art of divination is even more of a mess. In a hundred years, there was only one talented person like Wu Ma Chaofu, but he died in an unclear manner.
It was for this reason that the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family chased all the way to Xinyue City, vowing to catch the person who murdered Wu Ma Chaofu.
Wuma Chaofu was the hope of the Wuma family. It would be strange if the Wuma family was not furious if he was destroyed just like that.
If Wu Ma Chaofu were still alive, he and Cong Chongqiu would still be a little wary, worried about what Wu Ma Chaofu would figure out.
But now that Wu Ma Chaofu was dead, the old patriarch could only show off his power by relying on his status and his loyal followers. They did not take the old patriarch seriously at all.
The decline of the Wu Ma family was a foregone conclusion, so he did not object when Cong Chongqiu wanted to attack everyone in the Wu Ma family.
They guard the border diligently, and even if they have no credit, they have worked hard.
Unexpectedly, the old patriarch teamed up with Shi Qiang to deal with them just because of a few seemingly plausible letters.
It’s heartbreaking. It’s really heartbreaking.
"Don't worry, military advisor. I have already summoned all the best fighters in the army."
Cong Chongqiu is not the type to passively take a beating. He is responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the army. How could he allow Shi Qiang and the old patriarch to attack him?
He was not afraid of death, and eighteen years later he was a brave man again. But if he died, the soldiers who had followed him for more than ten years would not have an easy life either.
He can endure hardship and die, but his brothers who have been through thick and thin with him cannot die.
If Shi Qiang hadn't gone too far, he wouldn't have fought back in anger.
Cong Chongqiu glanced at the sky outside the tent, took a deep breath, looked at the military advisor and said,
"Military Advisor, you don't need to go with me tonight. You...stay far away and don't let Shi Qiang and the Wu Ma family catch you."
"Also, tell the brothers to hide in their tents at night and not to come out if they hear any noise."
"Tell them to hold their weapons. If anyone rushes into the camp, no matter if they are from Shi Qiang or the Wu Ma family, they will all be killed without mercy!"
Cong Chongqiu had no intention of letting ordinary soldiers go on the adventure with him.
For ordinary soldiers, it is no different from offering their heads in front of the Wu Ma family's death squad.
The soldiers only need to stay in the tents and protect their lives.
The number of people under his command who could fight against the assassins was no more than a thousand.
He had already given orders to these thousand men to form groups of five and surround one of the assassins.
The old patriarch only brought more than a hundred death warriors. With a thousand people against more than a hundred people, plus a tactical siege, it is not impossible for them to win.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.
If he had captured the old patriarch directly and let the old patriarch order the death squad to stop, a fierce battle could have been avoided.
Cong Chongqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about how to kill Shi Qiang in one fell swoop and capture the old patriarch at the same time.
"...General!" Tears glistened in the military advisor's eyes, and his voice choked slightly. "I'll make arrangements."
"General, be careful. This is the antidote pill I asked for from the miracle doctor."
The military advisor took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and poured out a pill.
"General, if you take this medicine, it will at least help you resist the poison."
The people of the Wu Ma family are good at some medical skills. Even if the old patriarch is a waste, he has a lot of poisons in his hands.
This antidote pill was obtained by him when he accidentally saved a life from a miracle doctor. The doctor didn't want to owe him a favor, so he said he would help him save another person.
There wasn't anyone who needed the miracle doctor's help at the time, so he thought of using him later.
However, the whereabouts of the miracle doctor were elusive. If the empress wanted to find him, she had to post imperial edicts everywhere, so it was even more difficult for him to find him.
So he went to the miracle doctor to ask for the antidote pill, thinking that if the general had other injuries, the military doctor would be able to treat them easily, but if he was poisoned, it would be more difficult to treat.
He has been carrying this detoxification pill with him for more than a year, and it finally came in handy.
".....good."
Cong Chongqiu looked at the military advisor's worried expression, took the antidote pill without hesitation, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Anyone can harm him except the military advisor.
If the military advisor wanted to harm him, then it must be someone impersonating the military advisor.
He and the military advisor have been together for decades, and they can be said to be each other's right-hand men and cannot do without the other.
If he didn't take the antidote pill, the military advisor would definitely not let him attend the banquet.
The Wu Ma family said nicely that they were skilled in divination, medicine, hypnosis, and that they specialized in producing national masters, but in reality, they only used some low-class methods and sinister schemes.
The Wu Ma family has been elevated by the royal family of Xiliang for too long and has lost sight of their own status. It is ridiculous that they dare to interfere in military affairs.
For a mere Wu Ma Chaofu, tens of thousands of his brothers' lives were lost. The Wu Ma family deserves to die!
The Empress gave face to the Wu Ma family and praised them everywhere, but he didn't want to give the Wu Ma family this face...
