In the middle of the night, the crescent moon was cold and clear, and the faint silver light it emitted enveloped the Wuhuan of Liaodong's tribe camp.

The usually quiet campsite was bustling with noise and excitement tonight. Every household was cooking smoke, the women were busy cooking, and the men were sharpening their weapons or organizing their bows and arrows in preparation for the upcoming campaign. Influenced by the adults, the group of children did not sleep, but instead brought their dogs to chase and play within the camp, and joyous noises could be heard from time to time.

There were two warriors standing outside the tent. They were dressed in bright armor and stood straight, looking straight ahead. One could tell that they were elite warriors. The person that lived in it was the woman that the child Wu Guoguo had spoken of.

Yan Rou had already asked Ku Le for information, but Ku Le did not know the true identity of this woman, he only knew that her name was Er Yu and that she liked Chinese clothes. The only thing Gongsun Xu could do after reporting was to silently curse Ku Le as an idiot. He could only try to buy expensive silk clothes to curry favor with Er Yu, but he couldn't even figure out the background of the other party. It was fortunate that this girl had gone to the Youzhou, so it wasn't difficult to find out her background and purpose of coming here.

The cold dew was deep, and a slight breeze would make people feel the chill, causing Gongsun Xu to tighten his collar.

Gongsun Yi's voice came from outside the door: "Young master, we're about to depart in two hours, it's time to rest."

Gongsun Xu rubbed his cheeks, stuck his head out the window and said softly: "You should go rest too. The weather is too cold, there's no need to guard outside the door."

"Well, Young Master, if you need anything, just call me." Gongsun Yi rubbed his hands together and entered the house.

When Gongsun Xu reached out to close the window, he suddenly remembered that there was still a pot of burning charcoal inside the room. As a result, he closed the left half of the window, and the right half of the door was supported by a short rod, leaving behind a palm-sized hole. When he was done, he walked over to the bed and looked at the oil lamp on the bedside table. Without taking off his boots, he laid down on the bed and pulled open the thick mattress covering his body. After a while, he fell asleep.

Ding! After an unknown amount of time, a light sound came from the window, as if the window had been blown against by the wind. Gongsun Xu suddenly woke up from his stupor, and grabbed onto the knife by the bed. He rolled over and got off the bed, and at the same time extinguished the oil lamp. The sound just now was very much like the sound of an arrow being shot from a wooden log that he had encountered in his previous life.

After a long while, Gongsun Xu discovered that there was nothing abnormal happening. He frowned in bewilderment, then tiptoed to the window and peeked through the crack.

Only then did he realize that there was a five-six inch long steel needle nailed outside the half-closed window. A small piece of white cloth was tied to it. As the wind blew, a few black words could be vaguely seen on it. Gongsun Xu did not reach out to grab it. Instead, he looked around vigilantly for a good while, only to realize that everything around him was normal, the snores of the people in the houses were one after another. Then, he cut off a small part of his clothes and wrapped his hand around his finger with his blade.

who was next door was awoken by the sound of the window opening, he knocked on the wall and asked: "Young Noble, what happened?"

"Don't worry about it. Rest well. I'll call you guys if you need anything." Gongsun Xu replied, he took the white cloth from the steel needle and moved it close to the brazier. Under the dim light of the fire, he opened it, and saw written on it: "Do you dare to meet me? "Er Yu ', the words were extremely beautiful.

Gongsun Xu started laughing. It seemed that the fresh and inferior lady, Er Yu, had no ill intentions towards him, otherwise, she definitely would not have signed her name. See you or not? He pondered as he returned back to the window to look at the tent that Er Yu resided in.

The two warriors outside the tent had already disappeared. A graceful figure in a red Chinese warrior suit with a long sword hanging at her waist was looking in their direction. Seeing that Gongsun Xu had revealed half of his face, she waved towards him. Then, she pointed at the small road beside the wooden house that led to the rear mountain.

Gongsun Xu sheathed his blade, stroked his chin and watched as Er Yu's figure disappeared into the forest. After thinking for a while, he woke up the two brothers next door, explained the situation, then ordered them to bring the strong crossbow and follow. The Gongsun Jia brothers placed Gongsun Xu in the middle of the group. The three of them followed Er Yu and walked a distance of three to four kilometers until they arrived at a wide field where Wu Huan people kept his wood. Er Yu was standing on a thick piece of wood about seven to eight steps away as she looked at her path.

Er Yu saw that Gongsun Xu had actually brought someone here, and laughed coldly: "I've long heard that the Little Marquis is unparalleled in martial arts, I never thought that he would actually not dare to meet a weak girl like me alone!"

Gongsun Xu laughed and did not argue, he only looked at Er Yu quietly. Her skin was as smooth and creamy as ivory under the moonlight. Her eyebrows were extremely small and delicate, and her nose was raised high. She looked a bit like the young lady from Gongsun Xu's previous life.

"What are you looking at!" Er Yu was embarrassed and angry at the same time. Fortunately, the light was dim, otherwise he would have seen her blushing red face.

Gongsun Xu laughed: "Such a beautiful lady, a gentleman would be able to get her hands on me. With such a beautiful lady meeting you in the middle of the night, how could I not take a good look?"

If it was the weak and bashful Liu Ninger, Gongsun Xu would definitely not tease his like this, but since this Er Yu was a fresh and inferior noble daughter who was secretly inviting his in the middle of the night, there was no need for him to care about his face.

"Bah!" Er Yu spat and shouted: "What a good lecher! Eat my sword! " He drew the sword on his back and jumped forward.

"Step back, you two don't have to interfere." Gongsun Xu shouted to the Gongsun Jia brothers who were preparing to fight, and pulled out their swords and rushed forward.

It was clear that there was some inside information behind Er Yu's sneaky invitation, and Gongsun Xu could only hear the anger in her voice, she did not feel the slightest bit of killing intent, so she did not dare allow the Gongsun Jia brothers to attack, afraid that they would not be able to stop themselves from injuring the girl, and that their skills were inferior to others and that they would be injured instead.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them rushed towards each other. Er Yu flicked his sword and stabbed it into Gongsun Xu's right shoulder. Her sword was four feet long and had a shape that was different from ordinary treasured swords. The blade was very narrow, only one and a half fingers wide, and the tip was very sharp.

The speed of the sword was extremely fast, but Gongsun Xu was even more certain in his heart that Er Yu had no ill intentions towards him. Using these thin swords that were similar to the Western Sword from her past life would cause him to suffer a great deal of loss in terms of weapons, so the way to obtain victory was in terms of speed and position of attack. Generally speaking, it would pierce towards a vital point. He did not dodge the attack. Instead, she pushed off from her left shoulder and slashed with the blade in her right hand as she attempted to use brute force to send Er Yu's sword flying.

Er Yu snorted coldly, the sword that had stabbed her in the middle suddenly retreated, and retreated a few steps back. When Gongsun Xu retracted his blade, she suddenly rushed up again, swiping her sword a few times, and every sword strike was aimed at Gongsun Xu's shoulder. Every time Gongsun Xu used his blade to block, she would immediately retreat and take the opportunity to strike again. All of a sudden, she was like a butterfly dancing under the moonlight. He was clearly performing an offensive sword technique, but it looked like he was dancing with a beautiful posture.

The Gongsun Jia brothers were stunned, the two of them were extremely terrified, if they were in his place, it would be difficult for them to resist!

Gongsun Xu did not want to hurt Er Yu, so from beginning to endhee had only used one move to defeat the enemy. If he could avoid it, she would avoid it, but if she could, he would slash at her sword which forced his to retreat, and would not take the initiative to attack. As a result, although it looked as if Er Yu had the upper hand, and was unable to retaliate after receiving so many attacks, she was actually unable to even touch the corner of Gongsun Xu's clothes.

After fighting for over twenty moves, Er Yu also realized that Gongsun Xu was giving way to him. She took a few steps back with her sword and scolded: "Pui! What a shameless fellow, you only know how to bully others based on your own strength! "

Gongsun Xu was slightly taken aback, but his tone was not fierce, rather, it could be said that he was acting coquettishly? This was truly strange. How could such an unknown girl behave in such a strange manner?

Er Yu saw that Gongsun Xu did not say anything, he raised his sword and waved it, then shouted: "Hey, do you dare not fight with brute force?"

Gongsun Xu laughed and shook his head: "Forget it."

Er Yu said angrily: "You dare look down on me?"

"Okay, miss, please make the first move." Gongsun Xu sighed.

Er Yu let out a cold snort. He suddenly crossed his sword with his left hand, and with lightning speed, he slashed his sword towards Gongsun Xu's right chest. His speed was actually seventy to eighty percent faster than before!

Gongsun Xu was shocked, he did not dare to use brute force to block again, and quickly retreated two steps.

Once Er Yu got the upper hand, she moved her body forward and with a sword move as fast as a sword, she attacked Gongsun Xu's right chest like a torrential storm.

The blade in Gongsun Xu's hand danced continuously, and in the blink of an eye, the sword and blade clashed more than ten times.

The Gongsun Jia brothers who were at the side were shocked speechless, the two of them looked at each other and shivered. With such a swift attack, if they were in Gongsun Xu's position, they would at most be able to withstand three to five sword strikes with their blood splattering everywhere! They weren't afraid of death, but they didn't even have the chance to fight back before they were jabbed into a sieve.

Although Gongsun Xu looked passive, he was actually as steady as Mt. Tai, and that Er Yu's longsword was unable to touch even a corner of his clothes.

After Er Yu unleashed more than twenty strikes, she seemed to be exhausted, and the speed of her attacks was slightly slower. Gongsun Xu laughed out loud, taking the chance to turn the defense into an attack, he slashed out with his blade like a dragon, slashing towards the back of Er Yu's sword.

Ka-cha! * The sword broke.

Er Yu was startled, but just as he was about to retreat, Gongsun Xu had already gotten close to her, the back of the blade was pressed against her neck.

"You win!" Er Yu loudly admitted defeat, but for some reason, it was evident that his tone was filled with deep joy.

"Haha, victory is unfair." Gongsun Xu laughed as he retracted his blade.

"Humph!" Such thick skin! " Er Yu rolled his eyes and asked: "What blade technique did you use just now?"

"Eight Trigram Blade." Gongsun Xu replied with a smile. In his previous life, he had spent a lot of effort to learn this extremely defensive blade technique.

"Never heard of it." Er Yu frowned her delicate eyebrows, after thinking for a long while, she shook her head, then revealed a smile: "Can you teach me?"

Er Yu's smile was like a white lotus blooming, it was even more beautiful under the hazy moonlight, not to mention the Gongsun Jia brothers, even Gongsun Xu was lost in thought. Seeing Gongsun Xu staring at him, Er Yu's smile became even more brilliant.

Gongsun Xu quickly regained his senses, retreated two steps and sheathed his blade, then laughed: "Give me a reason to teach you."

"Reason?" Er Yu threw away the broken sword in his hand, placed his index finger under his chin, blinked his eyes, and laughed: "Using the secret of a Xianbei People to exchange your blade technique, is that okay?"

"Sure!" Gongsun Xu agreed quickly, but raised his guard in his heart.

Er Yu leaned towards Gongsun Xu and whispered: "The King and a group of old subjects left behind by Tan Shihuai who cannot even control Tan Shihuai now, the three kings Kebineng, Su Li and Bu Dugen have more than half of the power, and the orders of the company can only be effective in Tanhan Shan. And Lian, unwilling to become a puppet, wants to wait for the right opportunity to kill Kebineng and the other two during this year's Heavenly Worship Ceremony. "

Gongsun Xu's heart trembled, just as Er Yu had said, Xianbei People could be considered as the Four Major powers standing side by side, with Kebineng being the strongest amongst them, gaining the hearts of the people. If He Lian could really kill those three, no, he only needed to kill Kebineng.

The question was, was Er Yu's words worth trusting? Even if she was a fresh and inferior girl, how could she know such secretive things?

As if seeing through the doubt in Gongsun Xu's heart, she chuckled: "Let me tell you another secret, I am, after all, Lian's niece!"

"What?" This time, Gongsun Xu was completely shocked. Er Yu was actually He Lian's niece.

"Relax," Er Yu suddenly gave Gongsun Xu a gentle peck on the cheek, and laughed, "I will definitely not harm you. As for the reason, I will not tell you for now!"

Gongsun Xu touched the cheek that had just been touched, and felt that his brain was no longer functioning properly. Just a moment ago, they were still fighting, but how did they change so quickly?

Er Yu retreated half a step, then said with a solemn expression: "The Xianbei People's Heavenly Worship Ceremony will be held on the ninth day of December, and when that time comes, Kebineng and the rest will definitely bring some heavy soldiers with them. If you go, you must bring more soldiers and horses with you.

"Why?" Gongsun Xu frowned and asked, he simply could not understand Er Yu's true intentions, and he was still partially convinced of what she had said. Once the collapse and Wu Yan were eliminated, Youzhou would be the biggest threat. If the Youzhou Army wanted to go south, no matter what, she had to stabilize the Xianbei People first.

"Hehe, you'll know very soon!" Er Yu did not let his doubts go, he yawned and said, "Alright, I will go back and rest first, I still need to go back to Tanhan Shan tomorrow morning."

"Return to the Tanhan Shan?" Gongsun Xu was startled, "Aren't you going to the Youzhou?"

"Haha" Er Yu covered his mouth and laughed, then asked: "Did that idiot Ku Le tell you? I'm not going to the Youzhou, but I still won't tell you the reason … …

"Alright, whatever you want." Gongsun Xu shook his head helplessly.

"I'm leaving. Remember to come to Tanhan Shan to see me earlier!" Er Yu patted the back of Gongsun Xu's hand, raised his head and shouted towards a tree: "Ju Zi, let's go."

Crash! * A branch from an evergreen tree made a sound and a thin figure dressed in black floated to the ground. He gave a deep bow to Gongsun Xu and followed the road behind Er Yu.

Gongsun Xu's mouth was agape as he watched Ju Zi's back. It was only when Er Yu and Ju Zi had walked more than ten steps away did he regain his senses from his shock and hurriedly asked, "Miss Er Yu, is Ju Zi really Japanese?"

"Huh?" Er Yu turned around, and said in shock: "You're really knowledgeable! That's right, she is indeed a Japanese. "

Gongsun Xu rubbed his forehead. Why would the Japanese appear in Tanhan Shan at this time? This was truly unbelievable, but it was also the truth!

Er Yu waved his hand: "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I will really be leaving! "

Gongsun Xu asked without hesitation: "Last question, how did Ju Zi come to the Tanhan Shan? Tell me the answer to that now! "

"Hehe, alright, let me tell you, she's the descendant of the Japanese's slaves that my grandfather Tan Shihuai caught."

"AHH!" Where did Tan Shihuai capture this Japanese? " It was unknown how many times Gongsun Xu was shocked by this disbelief.

"You'll know when you reach Tanhan Shan. Oh right, remember to find me a treasure sword! " Er Yu did not continue to answer his question. Instead, she waved her hand and disappeared into the forest with Ju Zi.

Gongsun Yi jumped over and asked anxiously: "Young Noble, who exactly is that Er Yu person?"

"How would I know?" Gongsun Xu rolled his eyes, "I'm still in a daze! Tomorrow, send someone back to inform Father that he will need to use the Tanhan Shan's secret scouts and investigate Er Yu's situation as soon as possible! "

"Here!" Gongsun Yi respectfully replied, then asked with a mischievous smile: "Young Noble, that Miss Er Yu, her looks are outstanding, and her martial arts are not bad, do you not have any thoughts?"

Gongsun Yi's personality was lively and free, and Gongsun Xu didn't treat the two of them as outsiders.

Hearing that, Gongsun Xu felt awkward, his leg kicked out, "Scram!"

Gongsun Yi giggled and dodged the kick, but Gongsun Xu did not chase after him and kicked him, instead he walked towards the camp while frowning and thinking. Maybe it was his first time being 'attacked' by a woman after he had reincarnated, or maybe it was because Er Yu's personality was very compatible with his personality, that exquisite woman whose every frown and smile made a curve in his mind would flash past from time to time.
