"I know that." Qiao Dongzi certainly knew about Princess Xiao'an's pregnancy. But the abortion was with the eldest son's consent, so why would he be upset?
"Dongzi, come in." Fu Yunchen's voice came from inside the central command tent.
Mu Run whispered a reminder, "Be careful, this person seems unpredictable, so don't say anything that involves children."
"Okay." Qiao Dongzi went inside.
Mu Run continued to regret...
...
Yunlong Mountain is where the Black Witches first appeared; it can be considered their base of operations.
As the black witches spread and proliferated, there weren't as many black witches here anymore.
There are quite a few ghost soldiers and puppet soldiers, which need to be eliminated.
As dusk fell, Mu Run followed Qiao Dongzi, leading a troop of elite Northern Jin soldiers, up Yunlong Mountain.
Qiao Dongzi was originally a bandit, and he was more adept at fighting in the mountains than on flat ground. The elite soldiers he led were also skilled in mountain warfare.
Mu Run followed behind Qiao Dongzi, saying, "I only kill ghost soldiers."
"I know. Stay behind me and don't wander off."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be behind you." She was scared too. Although she possessed Hua Ling's superb assassination skills, she hadn't fully mastered them and was still insecure and lacked confidence.
Mu Run gripped the dagger tightly in her hand. This dagger was given to her by Fu Yunchen; it could cut through iron like mud, and it would be just as easy to use to cut a person!
“There are ghost soldiers ahead,” Qiao Dongzi said to Mu Run.
Mu Run looked over... there were about twenty or thirty people, forming a small team.
However, these ghost soldiers were not nearly as powerful as the ones she had seen at the inn last time; their movements were somewhat stiff and sluggish, lacking agility.
Some soldiers had already charged forward and started fighting.
Mu Run also rushed over and, relying on his body's memory, began to kill!
One ghost soldier was worth ten taels of silver, two were worth twenty taels, three, four, five, six... like cutting melons and vegetables, Mu Run alone killed eight ghost soldiers in just a few breaths.
The Northern Jin soldiers couldn't help but look at her with new respect. They had initially thought this little woman was a burden, but they hadn't expected her to be so ruthless and fierce. Their attitude towards her changed from disdain to respect. They would even let her handle some of the more difficult ghost soldiers.
Mu Run became more and more adept at killing. At first, he felt a little uncomfortable, but gradually he became numb to it after killing so many.
Qiao Dongzi watched as she remained silent, her body as supple as a snake, moving among the ghost soldiers like a dancer, each strike capable of taking a head.
After killing the ghost soldiers, they walked for a while longer, but did not encounter any more ghost soldiers or puppet soldiers.
"I'll go check out the situation up ahead," Mu Run said to Qiao Dongzi, then, without waiting for his agreement, quickly disappeared into the shadows.
Qiao Dongzi opened his mouth, but only managed to utter two words that Mu Run didn't hear: "Be careful."
Mu Run arrived at a mountain hollow and saw several people roasting meat around a campfire.
Lighting a fire on the mountain at this time is practically telling the enemy, "We're here, come and kill us..." Mu Run was speechless at the sight of them.
Because she had said she would only kill the ghost soldiers, these few people were left to Qiao Dongzi and the others. She then continued running along the path in other directions.
Several ghost soldiers loitered around a sentry hut.
A single bean lamp was lit inside the thatched hut, but its light was barely visible unless you got close.
Mu Run stealthily approached the thatched hut, drew an incredibly sharp dagger from his sleeve, and floated past like a ghost... The ghost soldier was decapitated and fell to the ground, still expressionless and with a blank stare.
