Before the dust settled, there were bandits who were in a hurry to escape on the road. Because they couldn't see the road clearly, they stumbled and occasionally bumped into each other, yelling and cursing one after another.
Cui Chen punched the grass in anger, "What are these idiots shouting for?"
Yi Xiaoqiao covered his mouth and made a silencing gesture.
The clopping sound of horses rapidly approached. The Black Light Unicorn Armor glowed with a black cold light amidst the smoke and dust, like the scythe of the god of death, ready to reap life at any moment.
The frantic bandits could not differentiate the left and right clearly, and only wanted to avoid the hooves of the horses. If you hit me, I hit you, I don't know which way to hit, the shouts and curses got louder and louder, and the complaints got louder and louder.
Cui Chen held his head, feeling a headache coming on. This Black Armored Army clearly intended to cover them with smoke and dust, using the sound of their horses' hooves to disturb them, forcing them to make noise, identifying their position. These people had been in the barracks before, but they had actually forgotten such a simple plan? This truly made him furious, to the point of not fighting!
The sound of the horses' hooves gradually died down and they finally stopped moving.
A gentle breeze blew the dust away, and just as Cui Huang expected, the bandits were once again surrounded by the Black Armored Army. The Black Armored Army were riding on fat horses, raising their heads and looking at them with disdain.
"Da, da, da ~ ~ ~"
A jujube red horse rapidly approached, its silver armor emitting a cold light under the sunlight. The red horse stopped in front of them and snorted. A hint of disdain flashed in its eyes.
Indeed, Mu Yi An had returned.
Yi Xiaoqiao's heart was beating rapidly. He nervously pressed Cui Chen's head down and hid in the bushes while holding his breath.
Cui Chen carefully winked at her. What should I do? Why don't we escape from there?
Yi Xiaoqiao shook his finger imperceptibly.
Why flee? Mu Yi An's eyes were like an eagle's. He could clearly see the fur of a rabbit from eight hundred meters, and yet they were still running? The moment he moved, he would be discovered. The only thing he could do now was to lie there and don't move. He had to use grass as tall as a person to stop him.
"It really is you guys. I can tell from the shape of the claws that it's one of us."
One of our own?
Could it be that Cui Shiming and the rest were soldiers before this?
That's right, the song they sang, the song of the gods bestowing golden armor, was from the army of Qian Feng, the founder of the Qiangguo Kingdom.
It was said that the exorbitant taxes and taxes of the previous dynasty were too heavy for the people to bear, and the bold ones rebelled against them. The enemy saw their internal troubles and took the opportunity to attack them, causing the king to flee in panic and die of an epidemic.
In this chaotic era, Qian Feng had donned golden armor and led the army to calm the rebellion, drive away the external enemies, and establish a Gan Kingdom. This song had always been circulating in the army, and it was similar to a military song.
While he was lost in thought, he heard Mu Yi An's mocking voice from the other side: "You're quite bold, daring to run over to my house and steal something."
These short words were filled with endless killing intent and coldness, causing everyone to tremble with fear.
Everyone was silent.
With an ashen face, Chen Congzhou stepped forward and said, "I stole it. It has nothing to do with them."
He raised his head and looked straight at Muyi, neither afraid nor afraid.
Mu Yi'an looked down at him condescendingly. His phoenix eyes slightly narrowed and a cold light flashed through them. "So you still dare to admit to it, aren't you a cowardly turtle?"
"Men have to have a sense of responsibility. Since I was the one who did it, of course I'll admit …"
"Pa ~ ~ ~"
Mu Yi An raised his horsewhip, and a bloody line appeared on Chen Congzhou's left cheek.
"You dare to say you're responsible for attacking an old lady?" "Chen Congzhou, I have underestimated you in the past. I didn't expect you to be so capable that even women and children would not be spared!"
From the looks of it, it wasn't just because they were soldiers. There seemed to be something else within?
Yi Xiaoqiao carefully moved the tip of his finger and pointed at the two of them.
Chui Ming blinked slowly to calm her down.
Yi Xiaoqiao tried his best to recall the plot in the book. There was no detailed record of the conflict between Muyi and them, only that they had enmity, and that it seemed like they had an irreconcilable feud. In any case, they would not rest until they met.
But then again, what benefits had Qianyu offered them when he recruited them?
I can't remember.
It was not a very important scene, and Yi Xiaoqiao did not have such a clear impression of it.
Now, he just had to deal with Mu Yi'an and those people.
Mu Yi'an looked at them coldly, continuously slapping Chen Congzhou's face with his horsewhip until it almost turned into a pig's head with blood flowing out. Even so, he still couldn't calm his anger and pointed at the iron cage that was being pulled behind him: "There's another one in the cage."
Glancing at the crowd, no one said a word as they backed off.
Mu Yi'an's eyes slowly squinted, "You aren't saying?"
"Yes, sit, don't even think about escaping."
Zhang Fifteen's expression changed as he raised his head and glared at Mu Yi'an.
Mu Yi An sat on the horse leisurely and licked his sharp tiger teeth. He laughed, "Zhang Wu, right? "I have quite an impression of you. You were the one who brought people to be deserters, right?"
Fugitive soldiers?
Are they deserters?
Those loyal, loyal, and poor robbers in the book were actually deserters?
Yi Xiaoqiao was even more surprised, as if someone had said that the amiable old man next door was a murderer.
It was simply too shocking. She touched Cui Huang, her eyes filled with gossip.
Cui Chen waved his finger, indicating that she should not ask any more questions.
"I'm not a deserter!" Zhang Wu raised his neck and said angrily, "We are only going to save our family."
Mu Yi'an sneered, "Well said, they swept the other villages before, but you guys didn't do anything, what are you pretending to be heroic and heroic!"
"I'm pretending!" My family's few children, my brothers and sisters all died in the war, leaving me with the heart to repay the country, but I couldn't even move when I saw my wife and children's families being killed. Muyi, if it was you, you might have been able to tolerate it! " Zhang Wu raised his head and looked at him, "Aren't you filial? If it was your mother, would you just watch her die? "
She admitted that this was a dilemma. No one was willing to face the death of their loved ones, and no one was willing to go back on their word. Until that moment, no one would ever know what they would choose to do.
"They won't die." Mu Yi An's face was cold.
"Yes, they won't die. They will all be taken away!" "My parents, my wife, my children, my sisters, they were all taken away. Not a single one was left alive. When we arrived at the village, it was already a wasteland. There was nothing left, everything was burned clean!"
"Muyi, let me ask you, why did you stop me? Why didn't you allow me to save them? If you didn't stop them, they wouldn't have died!"
Mu Yi'an looked down at Zhang XV from above, a cold smile flashing across his lips: "Because I stopped you that day, so you guys simply went against me?"
"The country does not bless my wife and children. Why should I protect my family and protect my country?"
Mu Yi'an lowered his eyes and sneered. His gaze swept over Zhang XV as his smile became colder and colder, "Being a deserter, you still dare to act against me."
"All of you, bring them back. We will punish them according to military law."
"I am no longer a soldier, you have no reason to punish me!"
"Then let's treat it as a bandit, the outcome will be the same from the left and right." Mu Yi An waved his hand: "Take him away."
Mu Yi An turned his horse around, tilted his head and looked at the grass, "Come out, you haven't seen enough of this show yet!"
Hearing the ice-cold voice, Yi Xiaoqiao's heart trembled. If she had known that this would happen, she would have chosen to defend the Green Cloud Mountain to the death instead of coming down. Wasn't this handing her neck over for someone to chop at?
Even if they were really guarding the mountain, they would still be no match for Mu Yi'an. If Muyi was really going to act fiercely and set the mountain on fire, then they would all become desiccated corpses, and die as well.
Just as he was about to get up, Cui Chen held her hand and said in a low voice, "You are not one of us, there is no need to come out. After we leave, you must leave this place and find a place to live."
He pressed a piece of paper into her hand.
Yi Xiaoqiao opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say anything.
Cui Chen walked out proudly with a faint smile on his lips, "Brother Yi, long time no see."
Mu Yi An pinched the horsewhip in his hand, squinted his eyes, and was both angry and disappointed: "You have no right to call me that."
"Chief Thief, close the cage for me."
Several Black Armored Soldiers came forward and grabbed Cui Chen, but he didn't resist. He laughed and followed them towards the carriage, "Isn't it just riding in an iron cage? It's not like I've never been there before, it's no big deal."
Hearing his stern voice, Mu Yi An sneered and suddenly pointed in Yi Xiaoqiao's direction: "There's still one more. Come out yourself."
Yi Xiaoqiao was also discovered!
Cui Huang stopped and turned his head to glare at Muyi, "Muyi, don't hurt her. She's just a girl from a normal family!"
Mu Yi An raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile that wasn't a smile, "You really care about her?"
Cui Huang was startled. His body stiffened as he slowly knelt down. "General Mu, I beg of you to let her go. She really is an ordinary girl."
"Tribe leader, what are you begging him for? That woman might have been bait set by him!" Zhang Wu shouted, "Muyi, kill us if you dare! I'm not afraid!"
Mu Yi'an didn't pay any attention to Zhang XV, only coldly looking at Cui Shimeng.
"General Mu, I'm begging you. Please let her go. We have nothing to do with her."
Mu Yi'an swung his whip, and a sneer suddenly formed on his lips. It seemed as if he was angry, but also sinister: "He's already begging me like this, why aren't you coming out? Do you want me to invite you? "
He wanted to invite him? No, no, don't, she's not that big of a face.
Yi Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat and she slowly stood up.
Separated by the swaying weeds, she pursed her lips and raised her head to look at him. "You've caught me. It's up to you if you want me to kill me or cut me."
"Very stubborn." Mu Yi An chuckled softly. He pointed his horsewhip at Yi Xiao Qiao: "It's no longer Cui Ming, lock her up for me!"
