Chapter 390: It’s all fancy stuff, is that it?
When the second in command saw that something was wrong, he immediately retreated and hid far away to avoid hurting innocent people.
Deep down, he naturally hoped that Commander Sun would win.
If he wins, he can get rid of these people who have taken over his position.
But in his mind, he knew it was impossible.
Even their boss who has the highest martial arts skills couldn't beat him, let alone Commander Sun.
As expected, Commander Sun soon paid the price for his contempt. After just two or three moves, he was beaten and fled.
This is the case when Xiao Jinxuan did not kill him.
Commander Sun immediately shouted, "Deploy the formation!"
They are soldiers, not martial artists. Why are they fighting alone or comparing their martial arts skills?
Of course it’s a competition of coordination, strategy, and formation!
Seeing that the local soldiers were quickly surrounding them, they began to attack with measured advances and retreats.
The second in command's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope -
From the looks of it, Commander Sun may not lose!
If it were any other martial arts master, they might not be able to break out of this formation.
But the person who was surrounded today was Xiao Jinxuan.
He began to study the art of war since he was old enough to understand. Not long after he went to the battlefield, he was called back to the capital because of his outstanding achievements.
When it comes to fighting formations, he knows how to set up the formations, and even better, how to break them.
Without even using any weapons, he simply picked a handful of leaves from a nearby branch and threw them at several soldiers in the formation.
"In this world, yin and yang are reversed. Life is death, and death is life."
As soon as the words were spoken, the blade hit the target accurately.
No one paid attention to that small, thin leaf at first.
Commander Sun even thought with disdain, after all the fancy stuff, is this it?
"Instead of fighting to the death, it's better to just admit defeat. If you're willing to kneel down, call me master, and learn to bark like a dog, I can do it..."
Before he could finish his words, a blood line suddenly appeared on the necks of those who were hit, and blood suddenly gushed out!
Commander Sun finally realized that something was wrong. His legs trembled, he swallowed, and ran away quickly.
But before he could take a few steps, a handful of leaves flew straight towards him.
The leaves did not hurt his vital parts, but were more torturous, scratching his face, body, hands and legs. Soon, he was turned into a bloody man.
Xiao Jinxuan walked up to him slowly, his expression calm and majestic, "Go back and tell He Wenjun that I'm waiting for him here. If he doesn't want to discuss the tax and money sharing, then he won't be able to take a single cent of this year's tax and money away."
Commander Sun was shaking with pain, his face distorted, but he still gritted his teeth and threatened, "You dare to rebel, the Xichuan Army will not let you go, and General He will not let you go either! When the time comes, we will kill all the tens of thousands of you in the Green Forest Alliance and send you to the capital to claim credit, and you will be rewarded with a lot of silver!"
The second in command's face changed. These people were all his brothers, so he had to at least consider their lives.
So he hurriedly said to Xiao Jinxuan: "Master, you are here for money, and so are your brothers. Please leave a way for us to live."
Killing General Sun of the Xichuan Army would be tantamount to openly declaring opposition to the Xichuan Army.
How can this unruly gang be able to compete with the regular military?
If they really attack the mountain in anger, what will their brothers on the mountain do?
Xiao Jinxuan originally planned to spare Sun Tongling's life and let him go back to report the news.
But when he heard what the guy said, he immediately changed his mind.
There are many evildoers in these mountain strongholds who have committed unforgivable crimes, but most of them have become bandits out of necessity.
To the Xichuan Army, tens of thousands of lives were like lambs in a sheepfold.
He was unhappy, so he killed a few and sold them for money.
He was clearly a general who was defending his country, but he pushed the people into a desperate situation step by step!
What's the point of keeping such a person? Let him continue to do evil and harm others?
Xiao Jinxuan acted very skillfully. He snatched the knife of the soldier next to him and swung it with his backhand, knocking the man's head off.
Commander Sun opened his eyes wide, with a smug and mocking smile on his face, as if he was sure that these bandits would not dare to do anything to him.
This frightened the Second in Command to the point of shock. He was trembling all over, his face ashen. “It’s really over now. I’m going to be killed by them…”
He originally thought that he would bring Commander Sun to find Xiao Jinxuan, so that they could fight each other and he could gain the advantage.
I didn't expect Xiao Jinxuan to be so cruel and kill the man directly.
If they killed the leader of the Xichuan Army, their Green Forest Alliance would really become bandits to be wiped out.
He might as well pack up his things and run away.
But if he escapes, what will happen to the Ghost Pill in his stomach?
While the second in command was thinking about it, Xiao Jinxuan said to him, "Take the head of Commander Sun and go to the Xichuan Army to find He Wenjun and tell him what I just said."
"W...what?" The second in command's eyes were filled with shock.
He is a bandit. Why is he threatening a general who commands an army? Does he think his death is not fast enough?
But Xiao Jinxuan gave him a cold look, as if to say, if you don't go, you will die faster.
The second in command had a bitter and helpless look on his face, "I'll go, can't I go?"
As he walked, he thought, why not bring a generous gift with him when he leaves, so that General He will show mercy and spare his life?
On the other side, Song Yuqiu was talking to Xie Zhuoning about Xiao Jinxuan's questioning of her.
"Sister Zhuo Ning, you don't know, when I asked His Royal Highness Prince Xuan if he had made you angry, he was so stubborn..."
Since he didn't admit it, she would just pretend she didn't know.
She said she was going to find some handsome guys to touch his abdominal muscles, but that was just intentional to stimulate him.
Sure enough, he ran away due to the excitement.
Xie Zhuoning thought it was funny, but suddenly Song Yuqiu asked curiously, "So, Sister Zhuoning, how did His Royal Highness Prince Xuan offend you?"
"Uh..." Xie Zhuoning looked embarrassed, "We had a disagreement when we were discussing tactics."
"Disagreement?" Song Yuqiu blinked, looking puzzled. "What disagreement?"
This girl has been married and divorced, but she has not yet consummated her marriage with Yang Lie.
How should I explain this to her?
You can't say that you have been tortured badly by Xiao Jinxuan, right?
Xie Zhuoning thought for a moment and said, "He said that he had enough troops and suggested a protracted war. I think that if it drags on for too long, my body will not be able to bear it, so I suggest a quick battle and a quick decision."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Song Yuqiu felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong.
It seems like there are only a few of them now, right?
At most, there would be a group of Feiyun Guards hiding in the dark, and Wen Yan and a group of Nanyang troops stationed on the border of Xichuan and Nanyang.
Not to mention the number of people compared to the Xichuan Army, even compared to the bandits under the Green Forest Alliance, it is not even a fraction of them.
How come there are enough troops?
Seeing that she was really going to get to the bottom of the matter, Xie Zhuoning was immediately overwhelmed. Fortunately, at this time, news came from outside that Xiao Jinxuan had killed Commander Sun, who came from the Xichuan Army to move money.
He also chopped off the head and asked the second in command to take it back to He Wenjun.
Song Yuqiu was shocked after hearing this. "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan killed someone? And then he sent him back to protest? He is too fierce!"
Could it be that I made him angry because of what I said, and he is looking for someone to vent his anger on?
Xie Zhuoning lowered his eyelashes thoughtfully, and suddenly his dimples rose. "Xiao Jinxuan is not a man who acts on impulse. This move of his is killing three birds with one stone!"
