Chapter 841 Allied Forces Have Arrived! (Second Update)
That sentence wasn't the most fatal.
Gu Jiao shrugged and said, "Actually, it's okay if you don't tie it up. Black Wind King will keep an eye on your horse and won't let it run away."
While you have to tether your own horse to prevent it from getting lost, other people's horses can not only discipline themselves, but also discipline other people's horses... uh, no, other people's horses.
Chang Wei felt a shock to his very soul, and he didn't want to talk to this kid anymore!
Chang Wei walked forward with a dark expression.
Gu Jiao followed with her head held high and strides ahead.
Mu Qingchen, alert to the commotion around her, followed after them.
Chang Wei sneered, "Kid, aren't you afraid I'll trick you?"
Gu Jiao said calmly, "If I can't go back, all those tens of thousands of prisoners in Quyang City will have to pay with their lives. You can do the math yourself."
Chang Wei gritted his teeth: "How can someone so young be so ruthless!"
Gu Jiao smiled faintly: "Thank you for the compliment."
Chang Wei almost couldn't catch his breath.
Military generals often have a fiery temper. This double-edged sword can inspire them to have greater fighting power and morale on the battlefield, but the downside is that they can be somewhat irritable off the battlefield.
Chang Wei was seriously injured, and for the sake of his life and property, he decided not to speak to him anymore.
After the group rounded a hillside, they arrived at a narrow stream. Ahead lay the valley where the two countries bordered each other, and the Liang army was encamped there.
They had clearly just arrived and were still packing up overnight.
"Wait until they're asleep before going over," Chang Wei said.
"Mmm," Gu Jiao replied.
Chang Wei then realized that he had spoken in the tone of a general, and this cruel and heartless boy did not seem to think there was anything wrong with being ordered around by a prisoner, and did not get angry or refute.
The group lay prone in the grass behind the rocks.
September in the lunar calendar has already entered late autumn. The night wind at the border carries a chill, making people's hands and feet cold, and the ground is also cold.
Mu Qingchen subconsciously touched Gu Jiao's hand and whispered, "Why is it so cold?"
"Is it cold?" Gu Jiao didn't feel it.
Mu Qingchen wanted to take off her outer robe for her, but she was wearing night clothes.
“They’re asleep!” Gu Jiao suddenly said.
Mu Qingchen looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the last group of busy Liang soldiers had also entered the tent, leaving only a hundred people scattered in different places to patrol.
After observing for a while, they roughly figured out their patrol route, seized a moment when the patrol was off-peak, and the group sneaked into the Liang army's camp.
Their weapons were in the supply depot behind the camp, and their provisions were also there.
The night was dark and the wind was high; it would have been a perfect time to burn the grain and fodder, but unfortunately, we couldn't.
Gu Jiao made a hand gesture to the ten people, and Mu Qingchen and the others understood and took out a pair of silver silk gloves from their pockets and put them on.
Seeing that the group had confiscated all his gloves, Chang Wei's lips twitched violently.
Gu Jiao took out five brocade pouches made of special materials, each containing a long strand of snow-covered silkworm silk.
After distributing the brocade pouches, the group began their operation.
Scouts and Chang Wei were responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of the patrolling army.
For those who possess the silk of the Snowfield Heavenly Silkworm, cutting through chariots and ladders is not a difficult task; the key is to ensure that the remaining parts do not fall to the ground and make a sound after cutting.
Wenren Chong is an expert in this field.
He pointed to several parts: "Cut it like this, cut it here, and the chariot won't fall apart on the spot."
Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen each held one end of the Snowfield Heavenly Silkworm Silk. Mu Qingchen used her lightness skill to leap to the other side of the chariot. The two exchanged a glance and then cut off the Snowfield Heavenly Silkworm Silk.
Silent and effortless, as if slicing a cake, incredibly smooth.
Gu Jiao: "Wow."
Obsessive-compulsive disorder has been cured!
Gu Jiao had a lot of fun... uh, no, the mission went very smoothly.
"Someone's coming! Get out of here!" Chang Wei said in a low voice.
Gu Jiao smacked her lips, seemingly still wanting more: "It doesn't seem like we cut that many."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
We only managed to cut through so many tanks and ladders; there were others we didn't even have time to cut through, and you snatched them all and cut them all!
"I'm leaving." Mu Qingchen used her lightness skill to leap over and return the Snowfield Heavenly Silkworm Silk to her for safekeeping.
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
She slowly gathered up the armor, and then, taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, she swiftly sliced it off the chariot!
Mu Qingchen: "..."
When the soldiers from Daliang came on patrol, they had already left.
Of these people, only Gu Jiao didn't know how to use light-body skills. Mu Qingchen put his arm around her supple and slender waist and carried her through the various tents.
Because of his injury, Chang Wei was unable to use his light-body skills, so Li Shen and Zhao Dengfeng took turns carrying him.
As they passed a tent lit by a dim yellow oil lamp, Gu Jiao suddenly patted Mu Qingchen's arm, signaling him to stop.
Mu Qingchen landed gently on the grass.
What is it?
He asked with his eyes.
Gu Jiao pointed to a tent about three zhang away, and I saw someone go inside.
The others also stopped beside them.
They concealed themselves in the shadows, gazing at the tent Gu Jiao had indicated. Gu Jiao thought for a moment, then gestured to the others, signaling them to leave first, while she, Mu Qingchen, Li Shen, and Chang Wei stayed behind.
Although the people were reluctant to leave, it was a military order.
Zhao Dengfeng and Wenren Chong disappeared silently into the night, while Gu Jiao and the other three approached the tent.
The group hid behind the tent, with Gu Jiao and the other two pressing their ears against the tent wall.
Li Shen was responsible for keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Men's voices could be heard coming from inside the tent.
They were speaking the language of Yan, but it was clear that one side's Yan language was not quite standard.
The less standard side said, "...Is this your sincerity? Your Great Yan king is arresting you. Without the protection of our Liang kingdom, you will soon become prisoners of the Great Yan king."
Everyone understood.
One side is a general from the Liang Kingdom, and the other side is a rebel army from the Great Yan Kingdom. They are either from the Han family or the Nangong family. Obviously, the latter is more likely.
"I want to see your General Chu."
The others didn't recognize the voice, but Chang Wei immediately recognized it as Nangong Jue, the fourth son of the Nangong family.
Both Nangong Ze and Nangong Jue were stationed on the border for many years, so Chang Wei was very familiar with them.
The Liang general said, "General Chu has had a long journey and has already rested."
Gu Jiaoxiao's translation: You're not high-profile enough; it's already a favor to talk to me.
Nangong Jue's aura was tinged with anger, but he quickly suppressed it: "Do you really think the Black Wind Camp is so easy to deal with? I'm not afraid to tell you, with your troops, without the help of our Nangong family, you will definitely be defeated by that Xiao Liulang!"
Gu Jiao clenched her little fist, "Go for it! I'm just that awesome!"
So it really is a member of the Nangong family.
Gu Jiao looked at Chang Wei with sympathy.
No wonder your face turned so ugly. Look, look, this is the traitor you served, the Great Yan ruler, who colluded with the Liang Kingdom.
The Liang general said arrogantly, "Don't try to scare me. Just because you lost because you're incompetent, does that mean our Liang army is just as useless as the remnants of your Nangong family? If that general named Chang Wei came to our Liang, we wouldn't even give him the position of a centurion!"
Gu Jiao nodded approvingly. "Excellent. Continue. You're on our side tonight."
The Liang general said calmly, "Our Liang Kingdom has no need to cooperate with your Nangong family."
Nangong Jue sneered, "Aren't you just bullying us because we've lost our troops? But as far as I know, our Nangong family's General Chang Wei is not dead. He was just captured and is currently receiving treatment in Quyang City. There are nearly 60,000 troops in Quyang City. As long as Chang Wei leads them to cooperate with you from the inside, your Liang Kingdom's plan to attack the city will definitely be twice as effective!"
Gu Jiao looked at Chang Wei with pity once again.
Chang Wei appeared calm on the surface, but the blood seeping from his chest betrayed his emotions.
The Liang general seemed quite interested in the proposal, but he held back his bargaining chips and used all his negotiating skills: "Chang Wei deserves to die, but he's not dead. How can you be sure he didn't defect to the Black Wind Camp?"
Nangong Jue said firmly, "Chang Wei will not betray the Nangong family!"
The Liang general smiled and said, "Oh?"
Nangong Jue said with barely concealed sarcasm, "He comes from a poor family. My father found him begging on the street. He took him in and got him into the army. He's stubborn, inflexible, and doesn't know how to adapt, but thankfully he's extremely loyal to the Nangong family. You could say he's the most loyal dog we've ever raised. Wherever the Nangong family points, he'll bite! He'd be willing to die for it!"
Gu Jiao almost rushed up to present flowers to Nangong Jue.
Well said!
Tonight, your allies are here!
In the past, Nangong Jue would never have spoken so arrogantly in front of outsiders. But right now, he was so enraged by the arrogant attitude of the Liang generals that he desperately needed to regain his dignity by belittling others and to make himself seem superior.
Unfortunately, the speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.
Outside the tent, Chang Wei's face turned completely ashen!
Clapping sounds~
We're all allies, let's have a drink!
