The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

That jade pendant was bought specially for her by Niao Niao. She has been wearing it for more than a year and must not lose it.

So the seven of them turned back along the official road and rushed all the way back to the village.

But the closer they got to the village, the more Xu Junjun and his companions discovered that there were many messy horse hoof prints on the small road that deviated from the official road.

Looking at the dry grass on both sides of the road that was trampled and scattered by horse hooves, Xu Junjun frowned and had a bad premonition in his heart.

The messy horse hoof prints extended all the way to the end of the road. Looking at the village they left in the morning turned into a sea of ​​fire, Xu Junjun and the other seven people's faces changed drastically. They sped up their horses and rushed to the village entrance.

The blazing flames and black smoke shot straight into the sky, and the strong smell of blood surrounded the entire village and lingered for a long time.

Looking at the hell on earth before him, Xu Junjun fell off his horse with weak legs and a pale face.

The whole village was flooded with blood.

The ground was littered with decapitated corpses of all sizes, piled across the village entrance, forming a shocking mountain of headless corpses.

The familiar clothes that had seen her off in the morning were now all covered in blood and piled up on the pile of corpses, like a sharp knife stabbing into Xu Junjun's heart, causing her blood to flow backwards and her limbs to go numb.

"Fuck his eight generations of ancestors!

What sons of bitches did this!!

I want them to pay with their lives!!”

Taking two steps forward, Xu Junjun stared at the headless bodies of two half-naked women in the pile of corpses. His eyes were about to burst, and he gritted his teeth and cried out in pain.

Sister-in-law Li, Miss Li Huaer, Brother Li, and the village chief, they are back late...

On the mountain of corpses, every female body bore signs of violent humiliation.

Recalling the shy blushing face of the Li family's daughter when they said goodbye this morning, Xu Junjun tearfully took off her coat and draped it over the mother and daughter, preserving their final dignity. She then said hoarsely to the six solemn-looking people:

"Go and see if there are any living people in the village."

They had just stayed in this village last night.

I thought that after leaving this morning, the village would continue to have simple folk customs.

Unexpectedly, when he came back just to retrieve a dropped jade pendant, he found that the entire village had been slaughtered.

The women in the village were raped to death and their heads were cut off and their bodies were left exposed in the wilderness. No one in the village, young or old, male or female, was spared.

This humiliation was so painful that the straightforward Xu Junjun was so angry that she almost vomited blood!

Xu Junjun's eyes were red as she looked at the two female corpses in familiar clothes. She thought of the warm hospitality of the three members of the Li family last night, and her chest ached.

She must avenge them!

"Master Xu, this village was plundered by the Huns."

After searching the area, one of the six people who had also received food from the village returned with a grim expression, clutching the iron plate dropped by the murderer.

"There are no survivors in the village."

The village that was still full of life last night was destroyed in half a day. Xu Junjun's eyes were filled with astonishing hatred. He looked up at the person in front of him:

"Can you tell how many Huns are looting the village?"

As they traveled together, Xu Junjun had already guessed in her heart that the six people traveling with her were not ordinary people.

When she asked this question, she was both testing and full of hope.

At this moment, she really hoped that the people in front of her were all experts who could fight one against a hundred, so that she would have hope of avenging these innocent villagers!

The man was silent, probably estimating the number of people. After a moment, he spoke:

"Judging from the mess of horse hooves in the village, it should be a team of 100 to 150 people."

One hundred to one hundred and fifty!

Xu Junjun looked at this person intently and asked a completely unrelated question:

"What's your name?"

"My subordinate Chen Liu."

All the orphans in their Qilin Guard have the surname Chen.

He was the sixth child in the family, so his name was Chen Liu.

The remaining ones are Chen 11 to Chen 15.

The six of them were all under the emperor's orders to escort the disguised Madam Huo to the border to reassure the Imperial Concubine.

Right now, before noon, the village was very close to the city guarded by Huo Qiming.

According to the original plan, Xu Junjun would be able to meet Mrs. Huo in one day at most after crossing another city.

But at this moment, Xu Junjun just wanted to kill people!

The murderous intent boiling in her body could not be suppressed!

"I don't care who you six are. I only ask one thing: are you willing to accompany me to avenge these villagers?"

"Master Xu."

Their mission was to safely escort Xu Junjun to the border. If she lost her life along the way, they would be held accountable by the emperor when they returned.

"I just ask you, are you willing or not?"

Looking at the astonishing murderous intent erupting from Xu Junjun's eyes, Chen Liu was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly:

"We do!"

"Okay, then take your sword and follow me to chase the Huns!

Catch them and make them die with the entire village!"

The murderous shouts rushed to the sky along with the raging fire. Xu Junjun, with a stern face, led the six people to mount their horses and chased after them along the horse hoof prints.

At this moment, in Liangzhou City, Huo Qiming's face turned pale when he received the news.

"General Huo, several groups of Xiongnu have infiltrated Liangzhou from nowhere. They are ambushing and pillaging the surrounding villages, cutting off the heads of the civilians and throwing them over the city walls in protest.

Now, the entire Liangzhou City is in a state of panic, and the people dare not leave the city."

Hearing his subordinate's report, Huo Qiming's palm gripping the sword and halberd creaked:

"Have you sent anyone to pursue them?"

“We’ve already sent them, but these Xiongnu seem to be very familiar with the terrain near Liangzhou and can always disappear and hide from the pursuit team.

To date, six villages have been massacred. If these Xiongnu continue to slaughter people, Liangzhou will probably be in chaos."

The subordinates' voices became increasingly low, and the rage in Huo Qiming's eyes grew more intense. Finally, he slammed his sword and halberd to the ground with a thud and angrily ordered:

"Assemble three hundred men immediately, and I will personally go and kill the Xiongnu!"

Subordinates are in trouble:

"What about the old lady?"

"Grandma is not feeling well, don't tell her about this."

As he spoke, Huo Qiming suppressed the anger in his eyes and strode out of the training room.

……

Xu Junjun and Chen Liu followed the trail all the way and finally found the trace of the Huns on the next night.

The Huns had fierce looks and strong physiques. More than a hundred of them gathered together and hid at the foot of the mountain, like poisonous insects lurking in the mountains.

They were extremely vigilant, each carrying a bow and arrow on his back, a short knife on his waist, and a straight knife on his ribs, which was the most standard assault posture. If Xu Junjun and his companions rushed forward rashly, they would probably be shot like hedgehogs before they could get within three feet of this group of people.

Chen Liu jumped to the top of the tree, looked carefully for a while, then flew down and reported:

"Master Xu, these Xiongnu are well-armed. We seven alone cannot resist them."

Xu Junjun and his companions tied their horses far away for fear of making any noise and attracting the attention of the Huns on the opposite side.

Hearing Chen Liu's words, Xu Junjun pushed aside the branches that blocked her eyes and stared thoughtfully at the Huns eating meat and drinking wine in the distance.

"Does anyone among you speak Xiongnu?

Can I get closer and eavesdrop on their conversation?"

Xu Junjun is not a fool. These Huns appeared in the Great Sage's territory for no apparent reason, and they must have ulterior motives.

If she could find out the real purpose of this group of Huns, she could tell the truth to the Huo family when she went to see Mrs. Huo and save more lives.

When the two armies were at war, the people living around the border cities suffered the most from the war. Xu Junjun could no longer ignore the kind and warm-hearted villagers who were destroyed by the bloody swords of the Huns in less than half a day.

In addition to avenging the villagers, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the purpose of these Huns sneaking into the country.

Chen Liu looked at Xu Junjun in surprise, and after a few breaths, he looked at his brothers behind him:

"Chen Shiyi knows Xiongnu language, so you can go up and eavesdrop."

Xu Junjun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the man named Chen Shiyi, and said in a low voice:

"Be careful when you go forward, don't get discovered."

Seeing that the Xiongnu people had set up camp and were preparing to cook, Xu Junjun looked at Chen Liu and took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to him:

"Find the one with the lightest steps among the six of you, sneak to the river, wait for them to fetch water to cook, and then pour this cartilage powder into the river."

Xu Junjun's calm and intelligent appearance caused Chen Liu and others to change their expressions slightly, and they looked at her with a hint of admiration.

"Leave this to me."

Holding the porcelain bottle in his hand, Chen Liuyi jumped and disappeared from the sight of the six people.

As soon as he moved, Chen Shiyi also moved.

Under the cover of darkness, he quietly approached the group of Huns and lay aside to listen to their conversation.

At this time, the Huns had set up their shelter and were lighting a fire. While they were cooking and boiling meat, they talked loudly about their great achievements of the day, using vulgar and obscene language.

"The mother and daughter today were really interesting. They were so delicate and tender. They were much more interesting than the women in our place!"

"It's said that women in the Great Sage Dynasty are like water. Once we defeat the Great Sage, we can let these women serve us every day. That feeling will be so wonderful!"

"I've heard for a long time that there's a certain Huo family Major General Huo Qiming in Liangzhou. Before coming here, I made full preparations. But now it seems that Huo Qiming is just a coward who can't do anything to us!

No matter how many people are sent, they still can't even touch our hair.

Come on, brothers, drink, drink, and then have a good sleep. Tomorrow we'll find a village to play with women, and cut off a few dozen heads and send them to the foot of Liangzhou, so that Huo Qiming, that bastard, can see how powerful our warriors are!

Recalling the fun they had that day, several people laughed arrogantly.

A nearby inspector of the Huns came back and saw their dissolute behavior, and cursed:

"Shut up!

Don't forget the purpose of our sneaking in!

Sneaking into the Great Sage doesn't mean you can play with women and act like a hero all day long!

From tomorrow on, everyone, please concentrate on searching for him, and then find a chance to sneak into Liangzhou and reunite with our people!

Only if we accomplish everything successfully, can our warriors advance bravely, break through the Great Sage's border, and march straight into the country!

By then, you will have as many beauties and gold and silver as you want!"

The leading Hun frowned and gave him a lecture. The few Huns who had been so arrogant just now immediately bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes:

"I understand, sir."

After that, the Huns didn't say anything useful. Chen Shiyi listened for a while, looked back at the dark trees and grass upstream, stepped back, and retreated into the darkness again, disappearing on the spot.

Xu Junjun waited in the distance until the two came back. Seeing Chen Liu nodded at her, she looked at Chen Shiyi on the other side.

Chen Shiyi repeated exactly what he had just heard from the Xiongnu. Xu Junjun's eyes immediately turned red with anger. He grabbed a dead branch beside him and broke it with a bang.

"These damned bastards actually want to kill people!"

After cursing angrily, Xu Junjun looked towards the flickering flames in the distance and said hatefully:

"We'll just wait here until the drugs take effect after they finish eating, and then we'll go up and kill them."

The word "murder" was uttered between Xu Junjun's lips and teeth, which were almost bitten to the point of bleeding. It was filled with strong cruelty and penetrated people's hearts.

The seven of them squatted there and waited for the opportunity to come.

Listening to the distant sounds, from low to high, from boiling to cold and silent, until there was no sound at all, Xu Junjun stood up with his numb legs, his eyes flashing with cold light:

"Let's go, kill people!"

Chen Liu and his companions drew out their daggers and held them in their hands, followed Xu Junjun's pace, and quickly approached the Huns' encampment area where fires were flickering.

The Huns, who were as strong as hills, were sleeping on the ground, like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Chen Liu and Chen Shiyi exchanged glances with each other, and surprise appeared on their faces again.

They had heard that the young lady of the Huo family was an expert in both medicine and poison, but they had never seen her in person. Today, they saw with their own eyes the power of the medicine she concocted, and they couldn't help but feel awe.

This cartilage powder is so effective. If it is widely used on the battlefield, wouldn't the Great Sage's army be able to win without fighting?

If Xu Junjun heard their thoughts, he would definitely give each of them a big slam dunk. Not to mention that the medicinal materials needed to make this powerful version of the house arrest powder are precious, the refining process alone is extremely complicated and it is impossible to delegate it to others.

And it's being used on a large scale. Do these people think she has a long life and want her to die suddenly from refining medicine?

Don't even think about it!

Don’t have any thoughts at all!

The seven people walked up to the Xiongnu. Xu Junjun looked at the people lying on the ground, closed his eyes, overcame his psychological defenses, and said in a firm voice:

"Give someone a taste of their own medicine!

Only the three leaders will be left alive. The rest will have their heads cut off and sent to Liangzhou, where General Huo will return the favor to the Xiongnu!"

"Yes, Master Xu."

Chen Liu and his companions were killing machines, and they were very good at killing people. Almost as soon as Xu Junjun finished speaking, Chen Liu picked up the Xiongnu's straight knife and chopped off a Xiongnu's head with one blow. His movements were neat and ruthless, and it was obvious that he was an old hand at killing.

Blood splattered onto the corner of his robe. Xu Junjun turned sideways with a pale face to avoid the smelly blood.

Chen Shiyi, Chen Shier and others did not say much when they saw Xu Junjun's reaction. They silently picked up their knives and chopped off heads one after another.

Under the effect of the powerful version of the soft confinement powder, more than a hundred Huns were like dead fish on a chopping board, and the six men quickly harvested their lives.

Chen Shiyi had been lurking around them for a while and roughly knew which ones were the leaders of this group of Huns.

These people were kicked out, their tendons in their hands and feet were cut and they were tied up. Chen Liu and his men also cut off most of their heads.

One hundred and fourteen heads piled together were shocking, but as soon as Xu Junjun thought of the innocent and tragic deaths of Li Dazhu's family and villagers, the fear in her heart immediately disappeared.

"Search them for any letters or anything like that."

Just now, Chen Shiyi said that these people still wanted to sneak into Liangzhou to meet up with others, which means that there are Huns inside Liangzhou City. If we can find the letter and follow the clues to find this person, we can eliminate a major hidden danger for Liangzhou.

"Yes, Master Xu."

Chen Liu was covered in blood. He took Chen Shiyi and others and started searching them one by one.

In addition to the gold and silver looted by the Huns, they also found several tokens, a dirty letter, and a detailed border map.

The letter was soaked with blood, and when I opened it, the words were mostly blurred and the contents could not be seen clearly.

Xu Junjun took a quick look and saw that she didn't recognize a single word, so she asked Chen Liu to put the letter and map away and make plans after arriving in Liangzhou.

"Master Xu, what should we do with these corpses?"

After searching, Chen Liu looked at the headless corpses on the ground and asked Xu Junjun a question.

Xu Junjun looked at the stone surface stained with blood and said calmly:

"Burn them all, so that no one passing by tomorrow will be frightened."

"Yes."

Chen Liu has a strong execution ability. As soon as Xu Junjun gave the order, he started moving the corpse.

The flames from the burning corpses illuminated the entire forest. Xu Junjun and his companions rushed to Liangzhou overnight with 114 heads.
