The bandits and mobs running rampant in the Central Plains have trouble with Cai Ying. After all, General Cai is old. The Central Plains army under his command seems to be mighty and majestic, but it is actually called the "retirement army". Sitting, except for the occasional pacification, the base is used for border reinforcements.
At this time, the two places in the northwest affected most of Cai Ping's troops. He had no eagle armor in his hands, and he was cautious by nature. He didn't dare to take risks at all.
It took Gu Yun three to five days to figure out the ins and outs of this mob, and he personally felt the terrain on the map, and then sent someone to contact General Cai to prepare two buns and pot stickers.
The rebel bandits did not know who was leading the troops from the capital, but after a few tests, they found that this group of people was more sophisticated than Cai Ping. After chasing them for a mile or two, he called Jin Jin to withdraw his troops, and decided that this army was a foolish melon. When he was planning to surround them, Cai Ying suddenly felt like he was in a convulsion. The style of chasing, the forces left behind by the Central Plains garrison were poured out, and the mob was raided to contain the rebellion.
In fact, there are not many troops left behind in the Central Plains garrison. If it is said that the two sides will suffer, it is just that the gang is used to the idle way of you advancing and retreating. Shi, fighting and walking, strolled around Cai Ping in a roundabout way, but encountered Gu Yun who had been waiting for a long time on the way back.
Gu Yun ordered the heavy armor to set up guns and aim at the gang. The leader of the bandit saw that the young masters and soldiers came to scare people again. He immediately ordered his subordinates to rush into the heavy armor formation. Up, the bandit leader saw that there was no goods in the muzzle, it was pure paper, and he became more and more reckless when he was overjoyed, and directly led the soldiers to charge forward with light armor.
When the bandit gang was caught in the middle of nowhere, the "paper-paste" heavy artillery suddenly sounded, and the bandit gang was caught off guard, and before they had time to retreat, the light cavalry who had been dodging just now and the army of the Cai family who came over surrounded them from both sides, and they really covered them.
The bandit gang collapsed, and the legendary "Fire Dragon" leader was captured alive. Gu Yun was so ugly that his eyes hurt by the pitted bandit leader. He planned to throw this person directly to Shen Yiwan, and ordered: "Ask him where his party is, and he will be accepted. Who is instructing, where is the nest, and is there anything that can make us black and black?"
Shen Yi choked in one breath and coughed fiercely: "Master, you are crazy poor!"
Gu Yun waved his hand: "Let's not beat him and torture him to extort a confession, I'll reminisce with Lao Cai."
He said that he was about to leave when he suddenly saw a personal soldier holding a peculiarly shaped short knife in his hand. It was slightly longer than the dagger. When I saw it, I felt a little familiar, so I reached out and took it.
"Commander, this is what the bandit leader found."
Gu Yun pulled out his short knife, slashed the blade with his finger, narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Something from a barbarian?"
"It's the short machete of the Eighteen Tribes." At this time, Chen Qingxu came over, "Master Hou, is the steel plate loose?"
"No, I'm sorry Miss Chen followed us around in the middle of the night." Gu Yun shook his head, he held the handle of the dagger, "Well, is the hilt so short that it won't catch your hand?"
"The handle of the knife is not short, this is a woman's knife," Chen Qingxu took the machete over and cushioned it in his hand, "Eighteen Northern Barbarians drank dew, vying for food with the beasts on the grassland, Therefore, there is often such a slot at the handle of the knife. In case of encountering a powerful beast, it can prevent it from falling off during a fight. The steel mouth of this knife is very good, and the original owner must have a high identity. Then her hands must be very small, similar to mine, it should be a woman - Lord Hou, look here."
She turned the handle of the knife to show Gu Yun, and saw that there was a complex pattern under the handle, like a totem wrapped around countless flower vines, with a flame shape wrapped in the middle.
Chen Qingxu said: "I have seen the pattern of this flower vine in a ruin that was abandoned by the Eighteen tribes, and I heard from the Han slaves who were tied up that it seems to be the symbol of the Eighteenth tribe women."
"I know," Gu Yun's face turned serious, "I also know who the symbol in the middle represents."
Shen Yi didn't know when to come over, and when he saw the pattern, he gasped slightly: "The Heart of the Earth?"
Chen Qingxu said inexplicably, "Who?"
Shen Yi: "Hugel Xiu Niang, hasn't she been dead for many years? How could it be?"
Gu Yun waved at him, took the short knife, turned around and walked into the place where the bandit leader Huolong was imprisoned. With a wave of his hand, he sent all the guards out.
He was holding the short knife, and there was no joy or anger on his face. The slightly curved knife was very old and still sharp, with a savageness that would bring down a piece of flesh when it stabbed into the flesh. Gu Yun pinned the tip of the knife to Huolong's chin: "I heard that you didn't tell the old nest of your rebel army, and you didn't want to say who told you to take advantage of the fire and entangle Cai's army?"
Fire Dragon: "Bah, little white face!"
Gu Yun laughed when he heard the words, feeling a bit useful - in his opinion, calling a man a "little white face" and calling a woman a "fox spirit" is the same thing, it can only show that the person being scolded is good-looking.
"If you want to talk about it or not," Gu Yun calmed down and turned his head to instruct Shen Yi, "The national crisis is at the forefront, this person is foreign, and it is unclear how to hook up with the northern barbarians. Your barbarian fathers haven't entered the customs yet. You are wasting my time if you lick your feet and judge, I will announce it tomorrow, and I will show it to the public at a later date!"
When Huo Long heard half of it, he was confused at first, and then became more and more horrified. Seeing that Gu Yun was not joking, he got up and left with a serious attitude, so he struggled hard: "Slander! Dog officer! Brothers all know that you, Laozi, I am. You dare to use such nonsense to slander my reputation ""Slander?" Gu Yun shook the eighteen female swords in front of the fire dragon twice, "The people in the Central Plains call this thing wolf tooth steel, the one in front The crescent moon tip is a typical barbarian production, is this yours?"
Fire Dragon was stunned.
"The scabbard and grooves are all specially made. The good leather scabbard and the totem on the handle are as delicate as life. They must have come from the hands of famous people. Ordinary barbarians can't use this. The original owner is either rich or expensive—" Gu Yun slightly Raising his chin, he looked at the fire dragon and said, "I said ugly, your brothers all know that you put this thing on your body all day long, but no one knows the origin of this thing, right? Tsk, a bunch of ignorant mud legs"
"Wait! Take it slow!" Huo Long shouted, "That's what my enemy belongs to, isn't it?"
Gu Yun laughed loudly and said, "Yes, it sounds so real, I've seen people who carry their lover's things with them, this is the first time I heard that there are people who are so obsessed with the enemy, what kind of hatred is so lingering, come and give me insight experience."
"That woman put down the hundreds of brothers in my village, stabbed them one by one, and finally set a fire to burn the top of the mountain. In one mountain, even the birds were roasted, and she ran away. I came out and left me with this scar. I don't know where she came from, and I don't know that she is a barbarian. I brought this knife to remind myself of my past shame!" Huolong was extremely angry. , roared, "God official, you can slander Lao Tzu about anything. If you dare to detain me with this shit pot, I will bite you to death one by one as a ghost!"
Shen Yi smiled beside him and said without a smile: "Then you're a bit of a jerk, let's make up, a barbarian woman goes into a bandit's den with nothing to do, and burns a bandit on a mountain by herself? Fresh - big handsome, Does the troupe invited by your house have such nice words?"
Gu Yun sighed: "I can't even eat meat, so I drink porridge every day at home, and I'm still in the troupe."
Huolong frowned and said: "Which one is the handsome?"
Gu Yun turned the short knife in his hand out of the flower, and looked at him with a malicious smile.
Huo Long quickly recalled his taste and took a deep breath: "You, are you Gu Gu?"
"Don't mess around with relatives, which one is your aunt?" Shen Yi interrupted him, "Tell me how you colluded with the barbarians in Yurou Township."
Huo Long's face turned red with a "Teng": "I said that it is my enemy! There is a word that is not true of my grandmother's thunder!"
"That woman was with a small caravan, and she seemed to be separated from her family. She paid someone to take her for a ride, but she didn't know where she was going. We intercepted the caravan on the way, and we saw that she was quite beautiful. , and they went up the mountain together, she was carrying a little baby in the swaddle, and it looked like there was no full moon, and she was still pregnant with one"
Shen Yi was secretly surprised, but he tried his best to calmly ask, "When did it happen?"
Fire Dragon said: "Nineteen or twenty years ago."
Through the dim light, Gu Yun and Shen Yi exchanged obscure eyes - it sounds like what happened when the barbarian girl fled back then, so the baby at that time should be Chang Geng, but what happened to the one in Xiu Niang's belly.
Shen Yi: "What about later?"
Huolong leaned back and said in a hoarse voice: "Most of the other people who were tied up the mountain were looking for life and death. She is different. The woman's face is good, but her brain doesn't seem to be very good. She doesn't respond when others talk to her, and she beats her. I don't know how painful it is, she doesn't resist what she does, and within a few months, she gave birth to a premature cub."
Gu Yun's hand holding the dagger clenched slightly. For some reason, when he heard this, he suddenly felt a heart-pounding feeling—the intuition that he had not missed for so many years seemed to be plucking the string in his heart again.
"It is said that the woman who just gave birth is not clean. No one touched her or cared about her for a while. She was just afraid that someone would run away, so she locked her feet in the house and gave her food every day. Not long after she died, a little brother of mine who was flooded in his mind was thinking about the beauty of the woman, he secretly ran over to see it, and came back and told me in shock and inexplicable, that there was only one cub left by her side, and the other was gone."
Shen Yi almost forgot what he was talking about, and blurted out, "Which one is missing?"
"Who the hell knows, they are all half-dead children, skinny like a big mouse." Huolong was immediately alert, "Why are you asking this?"
Shen Yi was stagnant, then slammed the whip to the side in his hand, and said coldly: "You don't know anything about what you are talking about? It's strange to have one more barbarian and one little brat. This is for you to explain. What are you waiting for?"
Huo Long did not get angry, but his face tightened: "No, it is not unusual for dead children, this kind of cub is a cheap life, and it is not unusual for one to live and one to die, my brother said that he didn't see the corpse, that The woman was locked in the house and couldn't get out, so she couldn't be buried in the ground, but she didn't throw it out or put it in the house, so the child just disappeared out of thin air. At that time, a brother who was on guard said That woman's house was burning in the middle of the night, and at first I thought it was cooking and eating secretly, but then I heard that there were a lot of crows running around on the beams of her house all day."
Shen Yi got goosebumps and looked at Gu Yun subconsciously.
The corners of Huolong's burned eyes twitched a few times: "This incident once made people panic. Some people said that this woman's demonic spirit is not normal, and they want to kill her. There are also a few who are fascinated and reluctant to fight. It's been a long time since I got any results, when my elder brother saw what she said, was able to work, and was energetic on the bed, so he decided to keep her, even with the half-dead cub, and kept her for a few years."
"That person is really a monster." Huolong sighed, "Really, if there is no man to look for her at night, she will toss the little cubs around her in a different way, and the howling can be heard across the hill. Several times the brothers in Sanfanzhai I can't stand it anymore, let her restrain herself, she agrees on the surface, and turns around and starts again."
Gu Yun stood up suddenly.
Shen Yi's heart was suspended, seeing Gu Yun reluctantly put the back of his hand holding the short knife behind him, the veins almost burst out from the back of his hand.
Fortunately, Huolong didn't notice it, as if he was immersed in his memory, and muttered: "The old saying goes that a tiger's poison doesn't eat its children. Although we are all ruthless and not afraid of retribution, we have never seen a woman who is so ruthless. I don't know what kind of fascination soup our eldest brother has been poured into by her, I have to say that this kind of woman who is not a good family should stay on the mountain, and she should be our person, he was obsessed with his mind for a while, and he died!"
Gu Yun's voice was imperceptibly dry: "How did you send it?"
"Poisoning, the barbarian woman is full of poison. She has endured in our cottage for many years without showing any signs of it. Gradually, the brothers did not guard her, and easily followed her way. She killed the entire cottage. Even those women, slaves, and meat tickets who were caught up the mountain like her, no one let go, and finally set a fire to burn the mountain." Huolong's face flashed with pain, he cursed, and said A long slur.
This time no one bothered to interrupt him, and Gu Yun's face was so ugly that he couldn't hold back.
"I happened to have a stomach upset that day, and I didn't dare to drink too much wine or water, so I managed to gather enough strength to climb out of the sea of fire and save my life. The knife and the knife were pulled from my elder brother's chest. If I see that woman again, I will cut her into eight pieces!"
Gu Yun whispered: "She took a young child to kill and burn the mountain together."
"She put that cub in a basket," Huo Long said, "with her back on her back, that cub always looks half-dead, lying on the bamboo basket like a boneless, looking all the time, looking at the dead people all over the place, he kept going. He won't cry even though he's crying, for so many years, if he doesn't die in that woman's hands, he must be a bloody evildoer."
Gu Yun turned around and went out without saying a word.
Shen Yi hurriedly chased after him: "Big handsome, big handsome!"
"This person can't be kept," Gu Yun said quickly in a low voice, "Old Cai is still here, while he doesn't notice it, let this fiery boil forever shut up and be clean."
As he said, Gu Yun suddenly remembered something, his footsteps stopped, his eyes were full of gloom: "No, I forgot there was Calais Yinghuo, when he was in Yanhui, he and Xiuniang were secretly negotiating terms, that barbarian know what."
Shen Yi was frightened and said, "Master"
"He didn't tell me," Gu Yun's shoulders suddenly collapsed, but the steel plate on his body made him unable to bend down, and his posture was indescribably stiff, "He never told me or even mentioned me. Knowing that the barbarian woman is full of revenge for the country, she won't be very good to him, but it is always connected by blood."
Shen Yi hurriedly said: "You don't know what that crazy woman Hugel did. Twenty years ago, you were still running nose and writing big characters. Come on, Zixi, it has nothing to do with you!"
"That time when we found him in the snow, it wasn't because he was young and ignorant and sneaked out to play," Gu Yun said in a low voice, "He is clearly unbearable to be abused, so"
And they even "kindly" sent him back.
Shen Yi was speechless.
After a long while, Shen Yi said in a whisper: "If I am making a hypothesis, let's assume that the child left behind is not the son of the imperial concubine."
Shen Yi couldn't help remembering that many years ago, when the young Chang Geng was in front of him, he calmly said that he was not the prince, and that the disability on his feet was the scene where Xiu Niang smashed him.
Gu Yun raised his eyes suddenly: "What do you want to say?"
"It doesn't matter who the mother is, there's not much difference between the eighteen witches and the sisters of the witches. The question is whose child Hu Ge is pregnant with?" Shen Yi licked the corner of his mouth with difficulty.
Back then, the younger sister of the imperial concubine lived in the palace and was going to marry a descendant of the clan. Would the former emperor of Yuanhe do such a thing
If the late emperor was really so shameless, it would really relieve everyone, but if not
If it wasn't for the late emperor, then the most suspicious person would undoubtedly be the person who helped them escape back then—the person who had evil intentions, but was able to enter and leave the palace, and even had the ability to release the witches of the eighteen tribes, and take over the dark line of the two who stayed in the palace many years later.
Adding up these conditions, it is really easy to think of Master Chi and his large group of spies from Dongying.
Shen Yi was cold all over: "Master, this"
Gu Yun raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes were like knives, and Shen Yi suddenly fell silent.
"It's rotten in my stomach." Gu Yun lowered his head, stroked the short knife in his hand with both hands, and said decisively, "Beijing Man, I will clean up sooner or later, so don't mention it again."
Shen Yi: "Yes."
Gu Yun walked away with a sullen face, his back supported by the steel plate seemed extraordinarily thoughtful, and he found Chen Qingxu directly.
"Miss Chen took a step to speak." Gu Yun said.
Chen Qingxu didn't know why, so he followed him to the side.
Gu Yun said: "Ms. Chen is proficient in medical theory, and has spent more than half a year in a barbarian place. I have a question to ask you."
Chen Qingxu hurriedly said "don't dare".
Gu Yun absent-mindedly supported her: "Is there any special witchcraft on their side that can be used to get babies?"
Chen Qingxu was suddenly shocked.
Gu Yun immediately caught her shock at the moment: "What?"
Chen Qingxu was silent for a long time, pacing two steps in the same place uneasy, and then sighed deeply: "Have you heard of Ur Gu?"
