The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 143: First meeting after escaping death, but not recognizing each other!
On the other side, Huo Qiming personally took action and quickly found a group of Huns, killed them and took their heads.
After a bloody battle, the soldiers who followed, each with a Hun head hanging on their horseback, immediately set out to pursue the next group of Huns.
The sound of horse hooves was deafening. Huo Qiming held a long spear in his hand and pushed the horse's belly with his long legs. The murderous look on his bloody face was still there. He was like a sharp sword that pierced through the cold night, invincible and unbeatable.
With him around, the soldiers had a stabilizing force. Their bloodstained faces were full of determination and murderous intent.
"Major General, according to the Xiongnu's confession, another group of them is operating near these villages.
As long as we set up an ambush nearby, we will definitely be able to catch those bastards."
As they chased the Huns all the way, they witnessed the villages being massacred and burned, and everyone present was filled with murderous intent towards the Huns.
Huo Qiming didn't say anything. He looked up at the autumn-yellow forest, listened to the silent forest, and drove his horse again.
"Act quickly! All the Xiongnu heads must be brought back to Liangzhou before tomorrow morning to commemorate the innocent people who died!"
"Yes, Major General!"
The soldier shouted loudly and quickly followed Huo Qiming, disappearing on the dusty official road.
Huo Qiming and his group did not stop and chased all the way, but they did not find any trace of the Huns nearby.
At night, Huo Qiming and others were preparing to find a place to camp at the foot of the mountain, but they found that the river water was mixed with a hint of blood.
Huo Qiming led his men upstream and finally found the truth at the place where Xu Junjun and others destroyed the bodies last night.
More than a dozen torches were held high, illuminating the blood-stained stone surface by the river in every detail.
Looking at the dried brown bloodstains on the riverbank and the pile of ashes that could no longer be seen, Huo Qiming frowned and ordered a search of the surroundings.
"Search carefully around for anything left behind."
The blood on the riverbank was so thick that at least a hundred people died here. Combined with the confessions of that group of Huns, it was very likely that another group of Huns died here.
Huo Qiming's idea was soon confirmed. The soldiers searched the surroundings and indeed found an iron plate in the dry grass.
"Major General, the people who died here last night were Huns!"
The iron plate was stained with blood. Huo Qiming took it and looked at it, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Could it be that another pursuit team killed this group of Huns here?"
As soon as Huo Qiming's subordinate spoke, Huo Qiming's brows furrowed even more tightly:
"Not sure.
We should not rest, but continue to move around a few more times. If we still don't find any trace of the Xiongnu, we will rush back to Liangzhou to check the situation."
Once he left, there would be no general in charge of Liangzhou. In order to prevent trouble from happening, he had to rush back as soon as possible.
What's more, there is my grandmother in the city.
"Yes!"
Without further delay, the group mounted their horses, came to the narrow road, and galloped forward.
Xu Junjun and Chen Liu disguised themselves and rushed to Liangzhou City before dawn.
The group was covered in blood, with human heads hanging on their horses, and several human figures with little flesh left were dragged behind their horses. The people waiting at the city gate were frightened and screamed and retreated.
The soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate and saw the scene at the gate. They thought someone was causing trouble, so they immediately ran out with spears in hand and surrounded Xu Junjun and others.
"who!
How dare you act so presumptuously at the city gate! "
Xu Junjun sat high on the horse, his face calm:
"I am Jiang Xu, a native of Yunzhou. I have brought 114 Xiongnu heads and request an audience with the General of Liangzhou."
After disguising herself, Xu Junjun became an ordinary person with a flat nose and dull eyes. Even if Jiang Wumei stood here, she probably wouldn't recognize her.
Chen Liu and the others stared at Xu Junjun's back in a state of confusion, not daring to look directly at her face.
It's really hurtful to the eyes...
"Hun!"
The soldiers guarding the city were shocked and immediately looked towards Xu Junjun and others. They saw that the heads did not look like those of the great sage.
In addition, there were several bloody people tied to the backs of Xu Junjun and his men's horses. The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to delay and immediately sent people into the city to report.
When the people at the city gate heard that the head of the horse was a Hun, their fear gradually disappeared. The brave ones took a few steps closer out of curiosity to observe the expression of the head.
After more than half an hour, the deputy general who stayed behind in Liangzhou rode up to the city gate. After confirming that the heads were indeed those of the Xiongnu, he laughed heartily and bowed to Xu Junjun and the others.
"Zhao Jiang, the deputy general defending Liangzhou, has met with several heroes. Please follow me into the city for a conversation."
"Jiang Xu and others greet the deputy general. The people behind the horses are all Xiongnu who slaughtered our people. Jiang Xu has entrusted them to you."
Zhao Jiang nodded seriously and waved his hand behind him. Immediately, soldiers holding spears came forward to escort the people.
After the soldiers took the heads and took the Huns away, Xu Junjun led Chen Liu and others into the city through Zhaojiang.
Unlike the desolate and strict outside the city, Liangzhou City is thriving.
Although the streets are simple and not as prosperous as those in the Great Sage's hinterland, the simple and honest smiles on the faces of the people are very touching.
When Xu Junjun saw them, she thought of the hospitable Li Dazhu family, and her mood instantly became three points lower.
Zhao Jiang brought Xu Junjun and others to his residence. When he waited for them to enter the house and tidy up, he asked with a smile.
"I wonder where Brother Jiang and his men came from, and how they managed to kill so many Xiongnu?"
Xu Junjun said half-truthfully:
"We are from Yunzhou and came to Liangzhou to visit relatives.
Unexpectedly, on the way, he encountered the Xiongnu rebels who were slaughtering civilians. He took advantage of the Xiongnu's rest and poisoned their drinking water, thus avenging the tragic deaths of the civilians.
“Brother Jiang really has a good plan, he killed so many people without any soldiers.
I guess the poison Brother Jiang mentioned is very powerful!"
Zhao Jiang sighed and was about to ask for more details when a soldier rushed into the mansion and shouted urgently:
"Deputy General Zhao, Deputy General Zhao!!
Oh no, Madam Huo has been kidnapped!
"what!"
"what!"
Zhao Jiang and Xu Junjun's faces turned pale with rage. They suddenly stood up and looked at the soldier who had shouted:
"what happened?
Explain clearly.”
The situation was urgent, and the soldier quickly explained the situation:
"Mrs. Huo drank her medicine and fell asleep at the General's Mansion this morning.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, when the maid who served Madam Huo went to check again, she was gone.
The Xiongnu kidnapped Madam Huo. They left a letter saying that if General Huo didn't withdraw his troops, they would kill Madam Huo in front of the army during the battle.
Zhao Jiang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he cursed:
“I fucked the ancestors of the Xiongnu!
Why don’t you send someone after them right away!!”
Just as Major General Huo was chasing the Xiongnu, he turned around and lost the old lady of the Huo family. If he couldn't find her, how would he face General Huo and Major General Huo when they came back?!
Zhao Jiang's eyes were blazing with anxiety. Xu Junjun beside him was also in a state of turmoil. She took a step forward and looked at the messenger:
"The four gates of Liangzhou City have only been open for an hour or two. The kidnappers of Madam Huo will not be able to get far. Immediately send out four teams of elite troops to pursue them."
After saying this, Xu Junjun looked at Zhao Jiang and said firmly:
"Master Zhao, which city gate is closest to the battlefield? We will go out with you and give chase!"
So, Xu Junjun and others, who had not even had a sip of water, followed Zhao Jiang and his men out of the city gate and chased forward.
Huo Qiming led his troops back and just missed Zhao Jiang and his group at the city gate.
On the official road filled with smoke and sand, Huo Qiming suddenly reined in his horse and saw many figures at the end of the road with his excellent eyesight.
The soldier following him asked curiously:
"Hey, why does it look like it's Deputy General Zhao and the others? Why are they rushing out of the city?
Did something happen in the city?"
Huo Qiming's face darkened slightly. He looked at the ordinary-looking figure beside Zhao Jiang and suddenly frowned.
Why did he feel that person was familiar?
Obviously, I have never seen that face before!
