Chapter 766: Two Heads

At the entrance of Qingtong Gorge, there is a small Ming army outpost, but several soldiers are on duty here. Since Qin Feng established the Ming regime, Qingtong Gorge has become the most important passage connecting Shayang, Changyang and Zhengyang. Shayang and Zhengyang also worked together to build an official road in Qingtong Gorge. Usually, people come and go, and caravans flow continuously. Since the war broke out, this originally lively business road suddenly became deserted. Zhengyang County built an outpost here, which was originally to warn Shayang County to be destroyed, Qi army would come here. There is one outpost like this in Qingtong Gorge every ten miles. However, with the end of the Zhengyang War, the war in Shayang County was held back by Liu Xingwen and Chen Jialuo's continued resistance. Until now, the outposts in Qingtong Gorge have been removed one after another, leaving only the last one at the entrance of the gorge.

At this moment, several officers and soldiers stationed in the outpost were staring at the distance in a daze. The sound of horse hooves like thunder and a whirlwind rushed towards the Yan cavalry, making these officers and soldiers not react for a while.

Didn’t the barbarians be destroyed under Zhengyang County? Why did such a large-scale cavalry come here? After a moment of stunned silence, a sergeant suddenly screamed: “Why are you still stunned? Run away!”

This shout woke up the other soldiers who were still stunned. When everyone shouted, Sayazi ran to the hillside on the side, only to regret that his parents had fewer legs.

The cavalry came like the wind and flattened the simple outpost. The generals in the lead even raised their hand and shot down the Daming Sun and Moon Flag hanging high above the flagpole. With the whistle, a group of cavalry rushed into Qingtong Gorge like a wind and galloped along the official road towards Shayang County.

The sound of hooves was getting farther and farther away. The few soldiers who had just fled to the hillside finally rushed back. However, unlike the previous ones when they went up the mountain, they looked extremely agile when they went down the mountain, and they were not ordinary soldiers at first glance.

The leader stood on the shattered post and waved his hand: "Look for it and see if there is anything left."

Several other soldiers immediately searched in the rags all over the ground. After a while, a soldier ran over with an arrow: "Boss, there is a small bamboo tube on the arrow, and there is a letter in the bamboo tube."

Qianmian's eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab the arrow, took out a note less than a finger wide from the bamboo tube under the arrow, glanced at it, and a smile of surprise appeared on his face.

"Boss, what are we doing?" a soldier asked in confusion. "Is our people in this cavalry? Is this arrow he left behind?"

Qianmian looked up and glanced at the soldier with sharp eyes. The soldier also lowered his head guiltily. The person in the eagle nest did not ask questions or said what he shouldn't say. This question today was a taboo.

After reading the note, Qianmian rubbed the note, chewed it in Sari's mouth and swallowed it. He kicked the broken wooden board a few times, turned out a small stool from it, and sat down on the spot.

"Let's rest. We have to go to Qingtong Gorge later today." He ordered.

"Boss, be careful, we should set out now. I'll take the horses behind me." A soldier reminded: "After a while, we can only look at their horseshoe marks!"

"What are you doing when you are watching those cavalrymen?" Qianmian waved his hand, "Let's go and collect two heads in the evening."

"Two heads?" Everyone was confused.

"Yes, two heads!" Qianmian said lightly: "Traitors have never had a good ending."

In Qingtong Gorge, hundreds of cavalrymen were galloping on their horses and cheering loudly. Now, they are safe. Their horse chains are filled with the gold, silver and fine materials that crossed most of Zhengyang County this time. As long as they arrive in Qi, they can live a free life and no longer have to worry.

Speaking of which, they had never lived many good days. They were suffering in the mountains. They went down the mountain and thought they would enjoy their happiness. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by the Ming army and then blocked into the four counties in the north. Life was still the same hard. Only when Tuobayan arrived, they became the leader of their cavalry, and their lives had finally improved. At least they didn't have to worry about food and drink, and they could have a big meal every now and then.

What’s more important is that in this great defeat, tens of thousands of Yan soldiers were either killed or captured. Only they, under the leadership of Tuobayan, escaped from Shengtian. They were in danger along the way, and now they were even more victorious.

As the sun in the sky gradually sets westward, the light in the canyon slowly dimmed. Tuobayan raised his hand, and the running cavalry gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

Tuobayan turned over and dismounted, looked behind him, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the world is dark and the horse is tired. Let's take a break, bury the pot, cook with fire, eat and drink before leaving."

Murong Hai agreed loudly, and the soldiers also dismounted. Along the way, they had become accustomed to obeying Tuobayan because their boss had never missed it.

"General Tuoba, can't you have a good rest now? I think we'd better leave Qingtong Gorge first and talk about it after we arrive in Shayang!" Li Wei walked to Tuobayan and said.

"Yes, yes!" Ge Wei also walked over: "General Tuoba, this place is still the territory of the Ming army. There may be pursuers at any time. Moreover, when the fire is used to make food and smoke rises, it is easy to expose the target! It is too dangerous, so let's leave here first."

Tuobayan rolled his eyes, "Man can bear it, but Marco cannot bear it. Are you not cavalry? Do you know that war horses are our second life and our most loyal companions? I have been running for a long time, but I haven't seen the horses spitting!"

"But the Ming army may catch up at any time!" Li Wei was a little anxious.

Tuobayan laughed, "Ming Army? Two, I, Tuobayan, took these 800 cavalry across most of Zhengyang County. The Ming Army always followed us and ate dust. What's the point of being scary? After chasing us, they also need cavalry! Both of them are generals, so brave?"

After being robbed by Tuobayan, both Li Weigexiang were red. These days, they were indeed scared. They finally met Tuobayan, and they were in trouble. However, Tuobayan still had 800 cavalrymen in his hands, but it became a thigh that could be held.

The two looked at each other awkwardly and raised their thumbs up at Tuobayan: "General Tuoba is so brave, we admire him very much."

Tuobayan laughed: "The two of you have good martial arts cultivation. In the future, you will be very popular and delicious when you come to Qi State. Do you know who my backer is in Qi State? It's Cao Hui and Cao. When I escorted Prince Mae Yue, I handed it over to Master Cao. At that time, Lord Cao strongly invited me, but at that time I wanted to serve Da Yan, so I refused him. But I also said that when I go to join him, he would open the door to welcome me."

I heard that Tuobayan's backer was Cao Hui, the two of Qi's Kingdom. Li Weigexiang were not only surprised and happy, but now they have nothing but themselves. There is no reliable person in Qi's Kingdom. If they can use Tuobayan to stick to Cao Hui, they will find a thigh that is too thick to be thicker.

When they thought of this, the two of them became even more flattering to Tuobayan's smile. Flattery words rolled out, and the flattery sounded like a mountain, and Tuobayan also accepted it calmly.

In the canyon, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the aroma was everywhere in the iron pot. Tuobayan touched her stomach and reached out to attract Murong Hai, "Murrong Hai, come here."

Murong Hai trotted over and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"I'm not familiar yet? I'm hungry." Tuobayan asked.

"It's going to be done soon. I'll serve a bowl for my elder brother." Murong Hai turned around with a smile. Tuobayan reached out and grabbed his hand, and looked back at Li Wei and Ge Xiang: "Supply a bowl for the two generals. After all, they were powerful figures in the past. You can't let them line up to serve porridge like the soldiers, right?"

After hearing this, Li Wei and Ge Xiang nodded thankfully, but Murong Hai, who was covered by Tuobayan, was stunned because Tuobayan held his hand and stuffed him a small bag of things, and his little finger scratched his palm.

He had been with Tuobayan for almost two years, and immediately understood Tuobayan's intention. Naturally, this small bag was not a good thing, but he didn't understand why the boss was going to kill these two guys now? By the way, these two guys have great martial arts cultivation. If they were brought to Qi State to conquer them, they would be two good helpers!

However, the boss's decision naturally cannot be changed or questioned. These thoughts just flashed in his heart and were automatically erased by him. When Tuobayan turned around, Murong Hai had returned to normal. He smiled at the two of them and turned toward the big pot in the distance.

After a while, he came over with three large bowls of fragrant porridge. The porridge was white porridge, but there were a lot of wax items added to it. There were also some wild vegetables picked by the soldiers by the stream, white, red, green, and the color of the light made people's index fingers move.

"Eat quickly. After drinking the porridge, tidy up and the horse is almost resting, so it's time for us to rush forward." Tuobayan raised the porridge bowl in his hand and said to Li Weige Township and the other two.

What Tuobayan gave Murong Hai was naturally not the kind of inferior one in the world, but the good thing prepared by the prescriptions asked by Eagle Nest from Shuchang. The effect was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

After Li Weige Township and two men drank a bowl of porridge, they fell to the ground like a piece of wood.

"Boss, why did you do them?" Murong Hai walked over and kicked two unconscious people: "Where did the boss get it? It's so powerful. These two guys have good martial arts cultivation, but they can actually not react at all!"

"You forgot what your boss did before?" Tuobayan laughed, "This is a must-have item for home travel, killing and setting fire. As for why they were? Humph, if it weren't for these two guys, how could our Dayan have such a big evil? If it weren't for them, we were still in the four counties in the north, and at worst, we could have retreated back to the mountains. Now, there is nothing left. Isn't it just these two goods that were harmed? Seeing them, I wanted to do it and avenge our dead brothers. But these two guys have good martial arts cultivation. I don't want the brothers to do more unnecessary casualties. I finally escaped. It's too much to die in the hands of these two people. Look, these two people are out of war, how easy it is to pack up!"

Tuobayan pulled out the knife with a grim smile, and waved his hand and cut off Li Wei's head without hesitation. He looked up at Murong Hai. Murong Hai smiled and drew the knife, and cut off the head of Ge Xiang with one knife.

"Put these two heads on the road. I think the Ming army will chase you soon after that. These two guys are the gifts we left to them, hahaha! Brothers, eat quickly and have enough. The boss will take you to enjoy your happiness!" Tuobayan shouted.

Cheers sounded again in the gorge, and they didn't blink at the two people who died. If they made the boss unhappy, they would not die at all.
