Chapter 37: The Black-clad Men at Tianlang Mountain



The imperial edict arrived at the military camp, and the location for the truce and peace talks was determined, which was on Tianlang Mountain, the border between the two countries. After the contract was successfully signed, the Huns retreated back to Yunzhong County.

The two countries are separated by the Changsha River.

You are not allowed to set foot inside for ten years.

The tent curtain was lifted. Jiang Ling looked at the busy man, stood quietly without saying a word, and waited until he finished before going forward.

Jiang Sheng was a little surprised when he saw him behind him: "Major General, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes, it's about a truce and peace talks. His Majesty has already chosen a location, and I want you to come with me then."

"Sure, where shall we talk?"

"The top of Tianlang Mountain."

Jiang Ling said with a smile on her face.

Jiang Sheng's pupils shrank, and his hands lost strength. The bottle fell directly to the ground with a crisp shattering sound, but he ignored it.

Tianlang Mountain, why is it in Tianlang Mountain!

He thought that since his father and brother had died in his previous life, he should have escaped this disaster, but why was he still entangled with Tianlang Mountain? What if, what if something happened again?

Seeing his grim expression, Jiang Ling asked tentatively, "Little boy, is there something wrong with Tianlang Mountain? Why are you so panicked?"

Jiang Sheng's heart was pounding, and he was a little dazed when he heard it: "No, no, I just remembered that the young general was injured before, and he was also injured near Tianlang Mountain, right?"

"Well, last time we encountered assassins, but not this time. Peace talks between the two countries will benefit both sides. If the peace talks are broken, the Xiongnu will suffer greater losses."

"...That's right, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Jiang Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Little boy, if you don't want to go, I can take someone with me. You can have a good rest in the barracks."

Jiang Sheng hurriedly shook his head upon hearing this: "No, I want to go with the Major General. If anything happens, my presence will be of some use."

"Okay, then we'll go to Tianlang Mountain in three days."

"Yeah, I'll prepare some extra poisons and hidden weapons just in case."

Seeing his serious look, Jiang Ling met his stubborn little face when he was a child. The smile on her lips deepened, and she couldn't help but raise her head and pat his head.

The voice was clear and sweet: "Thank you for your hard work, little boy. It's really impressive that you have considered everything."

Jiang Sheng's face was embarrassed: "... Major General, I told you before, don't pat my head casually, or you will not grow taller."

Jiang Ling silently withdrew his hand, a warm smile on his face: "Okay, I will pay more attention in the future. The child doesn't look too old, so we can hold the coming-of-age ceremony when we arrive in the capital."

"Coming of age? We'll talk about that when the time comes."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ling and Huo Ying'an each led three people to climb towards the top of Tianlang Mountain. As they were all martial artists, climbing mountains was naturally no problem for them.

This was a tough time for Jiang Sheng. He ran out of strength halfway up the mountain. After being teased and quarreled with, he had no energy left and just pretended not to hear anything.

I cursed the Huns in my heart. They must be crazy. Why did they choose to negotiate at the foot of the mountain instead of standing on the mountain and shivering in the cold wind?

A hand with distinct bones reached out, and Jiang Sheng was stunned.

A familiar voice came from above: "Hold me, it will save you a lot of effort."

"...I'm sorry, I've delayed you all."

"It's okay. If you don't arrive at the agreed time, it won't be considered a delay."

Huo Ying'an watched from the side and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect the young general to be such a kind person. He used to dislike others getting close to him, but he treats Doctor Mo differently."

"Those who know him think the Major General is kind-hearted, while those who don't think he has other intentions. He doesn't have a fiancée at his age. It's really..."

Jiang Sheng's face darkened. This was a blatant provocation.

She raised her hand and waved it casually, glaring at him: "People with a heart of heart will find everything dirty."

Huo Ying'an's face changed, and just as he was about to say something, he saw the Huns coming down the mountain and walking towards them.

He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and snorted softly: "I have something important to do today, so I won't say any more to you. I hope that the young general will be more careful in the future and not ruin his reputation."

After saying that, he turned and walked away, speeding up a bit.

Jiang Sheng blinked and said nothing more.

At one o'clock in the morning, people from both countries arrived and sat in the pavilion to negotiate. Jiang Sheng stood behind his brother, looking wary of them.

When he looked up, he actually found someone familiar, staring at him with a cold expression. His mind was dazed for a moment before he met the person's eyes.

It turned out to be him, the man in black who surrounded him that night.

Gra didn't expect to see that man at the place of peace talks, and her face darkened immediately. He was just a small military doctor, but he could come to such an occasion.

The two sides went back and forth at the negotiating table, and finally finalized the agreement after some discussion. They signed the agreement, and each party held a copy of the agreement at the end of the negotiation.

Jiang Sheng didn't quite understand and felt a little sleepy.

I finally made it to the end and thought I could leave, but then something else happened and my feet started to shake.

Before he could react, his body had already flown into the air and was directly picked up by someone, flying towards the foot of the mountain.

The Huns finally managed to stand firm, and without caring about anything else, they hurriedly ran towards the foot of the mountain, with voices shouting behind them: "Run, there is an earthquake, there is an earthquake."

Jiang Sheng was taken away, his mind still a little confused.

"Major General, what are you doing..."

"Shh, don't talk for now. Let's talk about it after we get down the mountain safely."

"good."

The ground was shaking more and more violently. Everyone was in a state of panic and looked very ugly. No one expected that there would still be an earthquake even after the peace talks were over.

Fortunately it is over, otherwise something unexpected might have happened.

An unknown amount of time passed, and the surroundings became increasingly silent. Jiang Sheng looked behind him, but there was no one there. So where were they?

"Major General, have we gone astray? The people behind us have disappeared. It's so quiet here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling looked around and realized something was wrong. He frowned and turned around to run. A rustling sound was heard in the dark, and countless men in black rushed out.

The murderous aura filled the forest. Jiang Ling had no choice but to put the man down and put the truce letter into his arms, whispering, "Go down the mountain quickly. I'll stop them."

Jiang Sheng felt a push and turned to run, but he stopped for some reason, threw the letter of truce into the space, and hid in the bushes.

I tried hard to recall the feeling of that day and wanted to cut and kill those men in black, but the more anxious I became, the harder it was to find the feeling.

Damn it, remember it quickly!!

He didn't notice at all that a man in black was quietly approaching behind him, raising the big knife in his hand and slashing directly at his neck.

Jiang Sheng suddenly felt a chill on his back and subconsciously dodged a little. Then he saw a knife chopping at the same place and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He turned his head and met the murderous eyes of the man in black. His eyes instantly locked onto the man in black, and he raised his hand and swung out an invisible spatial blade.
