If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 6: The higher the virtue, the higher the evil (Please collect it)
General Guan's bright eyes emitted three meters of golden light.

His perspective changed.

It is like having a super telescope installed in the eye. The lens can be extended and retracted at will, always maintaining the most stable picture and with an extremely wide field of view.

Trees and weeds on the sand dunes, tents and wooden houses with smoke and fire, scorched bodies of barbarians in the fire, bloody and wailing barbarians on the ground, flies coiling around their bodies.
Everything was extremely clear, as if one walked right up to it and looked at it closely.

General Guan's mind flashed, and his vision instantly crossed the sand dunes, and he saw that there were still black-armored cavalrymen on the periphery hacking and killing all the barbarians who dared not to kneel on the ground obediently.

Outside the sand dunes, there are scattered armored knights. They are also equipped with armor on both their horses and their men, but they do not enter the sand dunes. They just ride slowly around and hunt the sand barbarians escaping from the dunes.

Further away, one can see light cavalry wearing light armor and riding unarmored horses, who are responsible for the barbarians scattered on other hills.

Further away, you can see knights wearing only leather armor. They also belong to the cavalry battalion, responsible for outer perimeter surveillance and patrolling to prevent sneak attacks by foreign enemies.

"Damn it!" General Guan's face suddenly changed and he cursed in a low voice.

"Song Changqing, do you still have Sha Manyu's Shadow God Map?"

"I dare not forget your instructions for a moment. After entering the dunes, I have been searching for Sha Manyu with the Shadow God Map."

The Pig-Eyed Knight pulled out a finger-thick scroll from his belt and handed it over with his head lowered.

General Guan opened the scroll, revealing a small ink painting on white paper, about the same size as a cell phone screen.

A portrait simply sketched with a fine brush.

If Xiaoyu were here and saw this painting, she would be so shocked that she would shudder all over.

Because the person in the painting was exactly her, not to say lifelike, but at least 60% similar.

After staring at the Shadow God Map carefully for a while, General Guan opened the Immortal Eye again.

After a full half hour, the three-meter-long golden light had shrunk to only two meters, and the light had also dimmed a lot. General Guan closed his eyes with a tired look, ending the "Fairy Eye Mode".

"Sir?" Bearded Old Zhu took two cautious steps closer.

General Guan gently pressed his eye sockets and said calmly, "Zhu Tong, take your team to the southeast, straight to the Liusha River, about 25 miles. Bring back Ge Qing's body."

The bearded bronze tiger's body shook violently.

Song Changqing looked up suddenly.

The surrounding black-armored knights were all stunned with shock.

"Corpse?" Zhu Tong's face was full of disbelief, and he stuttered, "Sir, are you talking about Brother Qing?"

General Guan said coldly: "You will know when you go there."

"Brother Qing, my Brother Qing~~~"

Zhu Tong howled miserably, and tears as big as beans rolled out of his eyes in an instant, forming a line on his face.

He leaped onto the horse's back, crying loudly and whipping his beloved horse hard, then ran like a gust of wind in the direction pointed by General Guan.

There were also a dozen or so black-armored knights, all with gloomy faces. They quickly found their own horses and followed "Boss Zhu" out of the sand dunes.

A square-faced sturdy man stepped out from the remaining black-armored knights and shouted excitedly, "Sir, Brother Ge is a 'human immortal' who has cultivated the True Martial Qi. He is invulnerable to swords and spears, and is immune to water and fire. Who can kill him?"

"Hmph, a human immortal. At most, he has touched one foot of a human immortal. He is still a long way from becoming an immortal." General Guan sneered.

No matter whether it was Zhu Tong before, or the square-faced sturdy man now, whenever Ge Qing was mentioned, he would call him "Big Brother".

When the other black-armored knights heard the news of his death, there was grief and anger on their faces.

This shows how high Ge Qing's prestige and popularity are in the Iron Cavalry Camp.

General Guan's sarcastic remark immediately made the atmosphere on the scene dull and depressing.

General Guan himself noticed it, but he didn't care at all. He curled his lips and said calmly: "You are so ignorant. You always mention "immortals" and you don't even realize that you may offend a real immortal one day.

Ge Qing has only practiced the third level of "Xuanwu Zhengang". "Xuanwu Zhengang" has a total of four levels and twelve levels.

After passing the first level and entering the fourth level, one can barely be considered to have laid the foundation for becoming a human immortal.

How far is it from the fourth level to the twelfth level of great perfection?
In the northwest of the Qin Dynasty, there are 300,000 Meng family soldiers who practice "Xuanwu Zhengang".

It has been 8,650 years since Emperor Huidi formed the Meng Army.

There are 300,000 standing troops for more than 8,000 years, but only half a million of them have become immortals.

The distance between the initial stage of the third level and the human immortal is a hundred thousand miles, which is considered close. "

The square-faced sturdy man was a little indignant and shouted, "Even if it's the third level, Brother Ge is gifted and has cultivated Gangqi. I heard that among the thousands of Fire Crow soldiers under Marquis Lieyang, only a few hundred have cultivated Gangqi."

In fact, he wanted to yell: How can you say such a big thing when you are only half a million immortals?! That is a human immortal, half a million!
You yourself haven't even touched the butt of a human immortal yet, you are just showing off because of your "Eyes of the Immortal".

If Brother Ge had your family background and resources, he might have reached the twelfth level of perfection long ago!
After all, he didn't have a "brain-stirring syndrome". He was just angry in his heart but didn't shout it out directly.

"So what if it's Gang Qi? Ge Qing is dead!" General Guan said in a cold voice, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth that could be seen by all the soldiers. "He was stabbed to death by the lowly Shaman. He was stabbed in the throat and killed in person. It was not a sneak attack, there was no conspiracy, and Ge Qing was not alone. The entire ten-man team was wiped out."

The square-faced sturdy man's face turned red.

"Brother Zhang~~" Before he could shout excitedly again, Pig-eyed Knight Song Changqing took two steps closer, held his shoulders and pressed them hard.

The square-faced Zhang San was stunned for a moment, took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down: there was no point in arguing with "Lao Ya Guan" except to bring more humiliation to himself and Brother Ge.

Well, "Guan Laoya" is the nickname secretly given to General Guan "Five Willows with Beautiful Beard" by outsiders.

Ducks like to quack, and their sounds are particularly unpleasant.

Just like today, Guan Laoya often said harsh and cold words. He didn't care about those who were lower in status than him, even if they were in a lower position than him. Even if they were in a higher position than him, he would often make sarcastic remarks behind their backs.

"General, in the entire Sand Dune, who can kill Lord Ge head-on? And Lord Ge is not alone. A ten-man cavalry team was completely wiped out and we took over the entire Sand Dune, and only eight brothers died from the poisonous arrows of the Sand Barbarians." Song Changqing said in a serious tone.

"People are dead, that's a fact. There is no one here except the Shamanzi." General Guan paused, then slowly said: "Although only 300 brothers came with us to raid the Shaman tribe's territory, the barbarians are weak, and we are not short of manpower.

One hundred and fifty armored troops were divided into three teams, which repeatedly scour the dune camp from three directions.

Unstoppable and invincible.

There were also one hundred cavalrymen, divided into teams of ten, who were outside the sand dunes to sweep away the fleeing barbarians.

The last fifty black-clad guards were on guard in all directions.

Ge Qing's team of ten people was patrolling in the southeast direction.

Now their bodies almost formed an arc stretching for more than 20 miles, from the sand dunes to the bank of the Quicksand River.

It was obvious that when we were attacking the dune camp, some powerful sand barbarians hid their tracks.

He didn't care about the old and young in the village, and just ran away quietly, but ended up running into Ge Qing's team.

Ge Qing was careless.

His team of ten must have dispersed, giving the Sand Barbarians the opportunity to defeat them one by one."

After analyzing this, General Guan hesitated, "If we can kill Ge Qing head-on, who has the protective energy, it will be easier to kill the others. It will be like killing pigs and dogs. There is no need to defeat them one by one."

A black-armored knight said, “That barbarian may be very strong and can face a team of ten, but he certainly can’t handle all of us.

Once we are entangled by the cavalry squad, we on the sand dunes will be alerted.

Especially with you here, no matter how strong he is, he will die.

He understood this, so he abandoned his people and fled immediately."

General Guan nodded slightly, agreeing in his heart.

"Sir, have you found that powerful Shaman? It's impossible for him to escape thousands of miles away in just one or two hours." Song Changqing said.

General Guan glanced at the black-armored knights and said, "Ge Qing's squad was killed, and a big hole was opened in the second layer of encirclement. Hundreds of Shaman rushed out from the gap in the southeast direction, and are now fleeing in twos and threes.

There are 50 black-clad light cavalrymen on the outermost periphery, but they are only responsible for guarding. They will kill the Shaman if they encounter them. It is impossible for them to stop hundreds of Shaman.

Although I can see all the barbarians within a thousand miles, if I don't take action, who knows whether they are strong or weak?"

Immediately, more than a dozen armored knights shouted in unison: "How many people escaped? Let's go chase them down immediately."

General Guan sneered again and said, "In the battle strategy I formulated, there is no plan to hunt down the fleeing Shaman.

There were only 300 cavalrymen in total, and they were placed in the camp on the hill. Naturally, they were invincible, killing people and burning houses.

But if we disperse in the desert, 30,000 light cavalry won’t be enough.”

As soon as he said this, he immediately sensed the dissatisfaction and anger of the armored knights. Without waiting for them to speak, General Guan changed the subject and said, "However, Shaman dared to murder the guards of the Great Shu King's family, which is a heinous crime.

Even if he were cut into pieces, it would be difficult to atone for his sins.

We definitely can't let him go just like that.

Wait for Zhu Tong and the others to come back, and then you can discuss how to hunt down the Shaman who fled to the south.

Before you take action, I will use my Immortal Eyes to locate the approximate location of Shaman Zhuangyong."

"Aren't you going to join us?" square-faced Zhang San blurted out.

General Guan's right hand trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't help but release the "Snake Flame Whip" again, hitting him hard.

"He was just a squad leader, and he was not ambushed by someone. He was accompanied by a group of elite armored cavalrymen. He outnumbered the enemy and had the advantage, but he died on the battlefield.

Could it be that he has been wronged so badly that he needs a dignified cavalry commander to personally avenge him?"

Zhang San and other armored knights who had a deep brotherly relationship with "Brother Ge" felt uncomfortable.

But they could not refute General Guan's words at all.

Not to mention that it is normal to die on the battlefield, just take today's dune raid as an example, a total of eighteen people died, including Ge Qing.

Do we have to find the murderer for each person and chop him into pieces?

In fact, except for "Brother Ge", no one even mentioned the names of the other dead knights, at least not specifically emphasized in front of General Guan.

Song Changqing broke the dull atmosphere and asked, "Sir, have you found Sha Manyu?"

"There is no trace of Sha Manyu within a thousand miles in all directions, in the sky and on the ground." General Guan said with a gloomy face.

Song Changqing had actually guessed the answer.

If he had found Sha Manyu, Guan Laoya would have galloped away on his horse, or instructed him to bring him back.

Now he was sitting on the Red Smoke Horse, keeping silent, with a look of depression and confusion on his face, obviously gaining nothing.

"The Clairvoyance can even see people hiding in caves, regardless of the earth and stone houses that are covering them." Song Changqing still found it hard to believe. "Even if she died in the chaos, at least she would have left a body behind. It's impossible for her to disappear without a trace!"

Zhang San was surprised and said, "Brother Changqing, you really understand the Immortal Eye. I just learned that the secret room in the cave cannot avoid the search of the Clairvoyance."

General Guan pursed his lips and looked at Song Changqing with a complicated look.

Song Changqing lowered his eyes and said softly, "Didn't you tell the barbarians before that the eyes of the immortals can see into the heavenly palace and the underworld? If they can see into the heavenly palace and the underworld, what is a cave or a tile house?"

——I'm obviously flattering you, can't you tell? If he really wanted to spy on the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor would have struck Guan Laoya to death with a thunderbolt long ago.

Zhang San muttered in his heart, and said: "The general's immortal eyes can't find it. Sha Manyu is either a demon who is ten feet high and used unknown magic to escape thousands of miles away, or he was unlucky and was eaten by a passing goblin.

Isn’t this place close to the Quicksand River? Everyone knows that there are many fairies in the Quicksand River. "
