Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 111 Border
"Roar!"

There was a tall iron fence on the parade ground, and in the middle of it stood a ferocious beast as big as a hill, roaring like thunder.

It has an ox head and a tiger body, colorful fur, a tail as long as a whip, and a pair of large wings on its back. It is the legendary beast, and it was watching a large group of people being sent into the fence with great eagerness.

There were more than fifty prisoners and criminals, trembling as they looked at the giant beast in front of them. Then, its bloody mouth came towards them to bite.

Screams were heard and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Qin Xishuo turned around and whispered to Gu Jingnian, "That's Marquis Wuding's mount."

"Can it afford to feed so many people in one meal?"

"So, now there is only this one beast left in Ruiguo."

Qin Xishuo was deeply moved. Looking at the beast, his eyes were full of envy, thinking, "A real man should have such a mount."

After a while, he finally remembered and reminded Gu Jingnian, "Be careful, this thing is not afraid of fire."

"Oh."

"The tail whip will sweep you down."

Qin Xishuo spoke honestly and added another sentence.

In short, there are many extraordinary people in Zhenyun Pass who can deal with Gu Jingnian. If they are discovered, they will be doomed.

Then he went to hand over the military order.

I don't know how he operated it, but this trip was to support the army's counterattack on Jusai City. After the military order was handed over, the gate of Zhenyun Pass was soon opened.

The team is leaving the customs.

Gu Jingnian looked at the long and dark city gate and had a bad feeling in his heart, worried that something might happen.

His life has not been smooth sailing, and now that he has done something as serious as treason and surrendering to the enemy, he cannot expect it to be smooth sailing.

as predicted.

Just as the team walked out of the city gate, a soldier guarding the gate exclaimed "Huh" and pointed at Zhang Xiaofang.

"Why did you bring a female?"

Gu Jingnian and Pei Nian felt a sinking feeling in their hearts and were ready to take action.

Qin Xishuo patted Gu Jingnian's arm, signaling him to relax. Then he turned around, grinned, and smoothly stuffed a silver ingot into the guard's hand.

"You're wrong. This guy just looks a bit effeminate, but he's actually a man."

"General Qin, I have to remind you that the investigation is very strict right now. The court is looking for criminals, but there are countless people coming and going in the army every day, and it is impossible to check them one by one. The main focus is on the women who pass through the checkpoint."

"I know." Qin Xishuo still had a playful smile, "So I was just playing with her."

The word "playboy" he used was clear and vague. Seeing his frank attitude and generous gesture, the gatekeeper laughed and let him pass.

"go!"

Qin Xishuo left Zhenyun Pass triumphantly. When he was far away from the pass, he whispered to Gu Jingnian, "Don't worry, I will escort you out of the border. For someone like me to survive, I must have some good ways to deal with people."

Gu Jingnian was still surprised and said, "I didn't expect it would be so easy to pass."

"Haha, that's because you think it's difficult." Qin Xishuo said, "I do things with ease, which is exactly the opposite of you."

He was still very confident in his abilities. After all, it was not easy for him to be a spy in Switzerland over the years. He didn't know how many of his companions were caught and killed. He learned a lesson from this: the more nervous he was, the easier it was to be exposed; the more frankly he revealed his true nature, the less suspicious the Swiss people would be.

Soon, Qin Xishuo put all his worries behind him, rode his horse forward, and sang loudly.

"My dear sister is as fair as a slender girl, and her face is as red as rouge! She walks like a willow swaying in the wind, and speaks like a flower in the snow..."

The singing voice is floating, full of boldness.

And at Zhenyun Pass several miles away, someone was putting his hands on his eyes, looking at a scene that ordinary people could not see.

This is a lookout.

The Diao people have strange looks, with a big head and a small body. Only when they are babies their eyes are the same size as those of ordinary people. As they grow up, their eyes become bigger and bigger, bulging like a frog. They have excellent eyesight and can see through most things and see very far away.

"My Lord, Qin Xishuo has already left safely."

Standing behind this person is Shen Jichi, Marquis of Wuding.

Shen Jichi was about to leave the city wall when he heard a soldier report: "My Lord, someone wants to see you. It's Zhong Wei, the Northern Court Justice."

Zhong Wei is responsible for hunting down Gu Jingnian and Pei Nian, so naturally he came here for this purpose.

This time, there was a sloppy man following Zhong Wei, and Shen Jichi noticed him at a glance.

"Fox Bayi?"

"My Lord, do you also know me?"

Shen Jichi nodded and said jokingly, "I heard that you have received a lot of rewards over the years, why don't you live a good life?"

"Hey, there are many places to spend money."

As Hu Bayi spoke, he pushed aside the greasy hair in front of his eyes, looked around, and asked, "Excuse me, my lord, is Qin Xishuo still in Zhenyun Pass?"

Shen Jichi asked: "Who is that?"

Zhong Weidao: "He is the deputy commander of the Lanhe Camp. He was ordered to go to Jusai City to assist in the defense. He should have entered Zhenyun Pass before us."

Shen Jichi nodded and ordered his subordinates to check. Soon a soldier said, "General, Qin Xishuo left the pass half an hour ago."

Zhong Wei frowned immediately and asked, "How can the Marquis allow him to come out?"

Shen Jichi asked his soldiers calmly, "Why did you let him out?"

The soldier looked at Zhong Wei with a stern face and said arrogantly: "There is no problem with the military order documents. If he is not allowed to leave, it may delay military intelligence." Zhong Wei knew that he had said something wrong, so he gave Hu Bayi a look and asked him to explain.

"It's like this." Hu Bayi said, "I have found the fugitives Gu Jingnian and Pei Nian, but Qin Xishuo protected them and took them away..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Shen Jichi ordered someone to call the city guards and asked, "Are there fugitives Gu Jingnian and Pei Nian in Qin Xishuo's team?"

"My Lord, we didn't see it."

Fox Bayi said: "They changed their appearance."

"Since they have changed their appearance, how can you be sure that they are Gu Jingnian and Pei Nian?"

"The two of them, the man is an alien with a hidden breath of fire, and the woman is an ordinary person. Do you think these clues are enough, my lord?" Fox Bay said: "I have been looking for aliens and beasts for many years, and I have never made a mistake."

"I believe you." Shen Jichi changed the subject and said, "Although it is understandable that Qin Xishuo does not believe you, the search for Gu Jingnian is of great importance... Send a fast horse to chase him and bring Qin Xishuo's team back immediately."

Since he had expressed his opinion, Zhong Wei and Hu Bayi had no choice but to wait.

After waiting for a whole day, the express horse returned in the early morning of the next day, only to say that Qin Xishuo's troops had been incorporated into the army of General Zong Shenxiu and had to face a major battle, so they could not return.

In this case, even Shen Jichi would not be able to ruin the battle for one person.

Zhong Wei was unwilling to give up as it was his duty, so he took Fox Bayi and continued his journey westward in search.

After watching the two men leave, Shen Jichi turned around and saw the giant standing on the city wall looking up at the sky and sighing slightly.

In fact, he had long known that Qin Xishuo was a spy for the State of Yong, and he also knew that Gu Jingnian and Pei Nian were among his team.

But Min Yuanxiu had already written to him to tell him that Gu Jingnian was traveling west to serve as a spy for the Yong Kingdom, and asked him to let him go.

Therefore, Qin Xishuo, who thought he was smart, was nothing more than a tool for him to carry out his counter-espionage plan.

--------

Leaving Zhenyun Pass and heading west, the green mountains and clear waters become fewer and fewer, and what you see more and more is the vast red Gobi Desert.

After riding his horse at full speed for several days, Gu Jingnian saw a vast number of tents ahead.

That was the Swiss army gathering to counterattack the city of Guise.

Zhang Dashi, Zhang Xiaodao, and countless newly recruited soldiers were among them.

"Shut up!"

Qin Xishuo pulled the reins, turned around and said to Gu Jingnian: "I am going to report to the army, and I will send you here. You go forward and bypass the army, and when the war starts, you can go to your father."

"it is good."

"Haha, after sending you a thousand miles away, we must part ways eventually. When we meet again, it will surely be the day when Zhongzhou is unified."

Qin Xi smiled heartlessly and rode away.

As for the unification of Zhongzhou he mentioned, it was naturally the Yong Kingdom that ruled the world.

--------

To the east of Saicheng, at Shaojing Pass, a huge flag of the Yong State flutters in the wind.

Not far from the big flag is Gu Beiming’s tent.

In the tent, Gu Beiming was putting on his armor.

He was wearing a light black leather armor made of the skin of a beast. The biggest difference from other people's armor was that it had two layers of standing collars, which could protect the neck very well.

When you put on the helmet, there is a layer of neck protection curtain hanging down.

Gu Beiming was fifty-eight years old, but he was strong, with only old scars and few wrinkles on his skin, and he looked like he was forty. He had a resolute face and deep eyes, and people could never figure out what he was thinking.

Outside the tent, a horn sounded, indicating that the Swedish army had begun its attack.

Gu Beiming was not in a hurry. He put on his armor before leaving the tent and walking onto the battlefield.

Standing on the battlefield was his fourth son Gu Jize, the only son he kept with him and who had not been injured or killed.

"Commander."

On the battlefield, Gu Jize always addressed Gu Beiming by his official title.

Now Gu Beiming has been granted the titles of Duke of Gaoping County of Yong State, Marshal of the Eastern Army, and Prince's Guardian.

"Zong Shenxiu suddenly launched an offensive." Gu Jize said: "He must have realized that our reinforcements have not arrived yet."

"Ah."

Gu Beiming looked into the distance and saw a black shadow appear on the horizon. The Swiss army was surging towards him like a black wave.

He arranged the tactics very skillfully, and at the same time casually expressed his feelings to Gu Jize.

"In recent years, Rui Kingdom has been developing alchemy, and has gradually surpassed Yong Kingdom in this respect. Zong Shenxiu was able to grasp the opportunity so accurately. He must have used alchemy to spy on the movements of our army and knew that our alien troops had not arrived yet."

At this point, he lowered his voice a little, and in a voice that only Gu Jize could hear, he added: "Yongguo's national strength can only support this expansion of a few hundred miles. Shaojing Pass is not easy to defend. If things are impossible, we will withdraw."

This is a strategy. Rui State fought back with the whole country's strength and vowed to regain lost territory, while Yong State's current strategic focus is to consolidate its gains, so there is naturally no need for a head-on confrontation.

Finally, the war broke out, like two huge millstones put together, crushing the people inside like rice, and grinding out balls of flesh and blood.

Even the various strange humans and beasts seem insignificant in such a war.

Although Gu Beiming wanted to retreat strategically, after the war broke out, he still hoped to find an opportunity.

He scanned the vast battlefield and suddenly discovered that something seemed to have happened above the Swedish army's battle platform.

Today, there is an unexpected chance of victory...
