One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

Chapter 35 Questioning
The veterans of the Beiting Army were trapped in Anxi, not only without supplies, but also lost sources of intelligence.

Usually, the caravan can only bring some news about current affairs. If the sand bandits are caught, they will have to be interrogated to obtain a small amount of information.

The veterans also discussed Jing Guo, thinking that Jing Jun might attack Anxi, but they didn't know anything about Jing Jun's latest developments.

I didn't know that Jing Guo sent troops, and there was no time to prepare. It was not until Jing Jun came to the door that everyone began to prepare for the battle.

Song Yun thought that if he could get the information in advance, with the rich experience of the old soldiers and his status as a "town warrior", it might not be impossible to guard Anxi.

It's too late to say this now, but Song Yun won't let this matter go by like this.

The old soldiers guarded the border all their lives, made outstanding contributions, but died tragically in the battlefield in their later years.

This is not only the crime of Jing Jun, but also the fault of Tang Guo.

As the only survivor of the Beiting Army, Song Yun will settle this account sooner or later.

But now, facing the cavalry sent by Shuofang Jiedushi, he made his first question——

"You Shuofang, why did you sit and watch Anxi be attacked by Jing Jun?"

When the two officers of the cavalry battalion heard the question, they bowed their heads a little guilty, not daring to look at Song Yun, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

The two of them heard the anger and killing intent hidden in the voice of shouting and asking.

A sense of fear arises spontaneously in my heart.

It stands to reason that with five hundred cavalry, even if they can't beat the innate martial artist, they can still run.

But for some reason, the sense of deterrence brought by this white-clothed young man is too strong, and there is a strong smell of blood faintly exuding from his body, which is exactly like killing countless people on the battlefield.

How could a young man have such an aura?
The two officers had a bad premonition—if this question was not answered well, maybe 500 people would not be able to get out of this deserted city that was burnt into ruins!

The two thought for a moment, smiled carefully, and spoke in an official tone:
"This...brother, we are only following orders, how can we know what Lord Jiedushi thinks?"

"Besides, Anxi City is not under Shuofang Dao's control. It belongs to Beiting Protectorate. How to deal with Jing Jun should be jointly decided by the imperial court and Beiting Jiedushi."

The Tang State had long lost control of the Northwest Desert, the Beiting Protectorate was in name only, and no one even took over the position of Beiting Jiedushi.

According to the two officers, this blame can only be carried by the court.

Song Yun looked at the two of them coldly, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

"Are you playing football with me here?"

Swish, his figure suddenly flashed, leaving only an afterimage on the spot.

"Here we come!" The two officers were shocked. They didn't expect Song Yun to be so fast. Before they could turn their horses and retreat, they could only raise their lances and stand in front of them.

The next moment, they felt a huge force coming from the barrel of the gun. The two officers were caught off guard, and they were dragged off the horse by Song Yun.

"My lord, be careful!" The five hundred cavalrymen in the back became chaotic, and they neighed, but they didn't dare to charge up.

Because the two officers had already been pressed to the ground by Song Yun, the sharp bronze long sword was horizontal in the air, with a cold light, and it was possible to cut it off at any time.

Everyone was shocked. With a few breaths, they rushed into a distance of tens of feet, and instantly restrained two fourth-tier martial artists—general innate martial artists would definitely not be able to reach this level of combat power.

This young man in white is probably close to a martial arts master!

The faces of the two officers turned pale, and when they felt the sharp long sword resting on the back of their necks, their skin got goosebumps.

"Brother, please speak up if you have something to say. We are just soldiers who obey orders. How can we know these things?"

"Still pretending." Song Yun snorted coldly, "You two are fourth-rank martial artists, battalion-level officers, and you are almost middle-level and high-level in the frontier army. How dare you tell me that you don't know?"

Pulling off the helmets of the two officers, the blade moved down a few inches and stuck to the necks of the two officers.

"Give you two one last chance, tell the truth, or I will swing my sword."

The [-] cavalry in the rear saw this scene and were so anxious to die, but they didn't dare to go forward, so they had to surround Song Yun from a distance.

One of the team members was shouting: "My lord, why don't you just tell him, this matter is not considered a secret in the first place, it's been decades, what's there to hide?"

Immediately, several people joined in.

"Oh, let's talk, let's say, brother, please raise your sword a little bit first." The two officers shrank their necks, fearing that Song Yun's hand would shake and knock them both down.

"Beiting government soldiers have been stationed in Anxi for 50 years, Shuofang Dao is naturally clear, and we soldiers also admire it."

"Although the imperial court doesn't care about the frontiers, we are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty, so logically we have to take care of them."

"But back then, [-] soldiers from the Beiting Mansion returned to the country to suppress the rebellion. Their methods were rather extreme, but they offended many people."

"Nowadays, many of the big shots in Longyou, Shuofang, and Hexi don't like the Beiting army. In addition, Anxi's location is too far away. How could they send someone to support them?"

"Jing Guo is going to call. Of course, we will guard our own territory. Everyone will sweep the snow in front of the door. Don't worry about other people's roofs. Is there any problem?"

Song Yun snorted coldly, "If Anxi falls, his lips will die and his teeth will turn cold, Jing Jun's next step will be to attack you."

"Then let's wait until the call is over. Anxi, an isolated city, is too difficult to defend, and supplies are also a big problem. It's better to defend the key points of Shuofang Road."

After explaining for a long time, the two officers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Song Yun slowly put away the long sword, and they were soaked in sweat before they knew it.

Seeing this, a cavalryman wanted to rush up, but was glared at by two officers, and retreated in despair.

The two of them understood that with the skill of the young man in white, they could take their lives with one move at this distance.

Cavalry rushing up will only irritate people.

The two officers faced Song Yun, saluted respectfully, and asked tentatively:

"Brother Tai is young, but he has such outstanding skills. Looking at the world, he is also a top genius. I don't know his name. What is the relationship with the Beiting Army?"

"Song Yun, a small soldier of the Beiting Army."

The two officers thought the young man in white was joking, and laughed a few times in agreement, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

A pawn in the Beiting Army?If the soldiers of the Beiting Mansion had this strength, they would have helped Datang wipe out all the countries long ago, so what else would they do?

As for Song Yun, this name has never been heard before. It stands to reason that this kind of genius has long been famous all over the world.

Could it be the seedlings cultivated secretly by the Beiting Army over the years?

The two asked again: "I don't know how the Jing army was defeated after entering Anxi City?"

"Of course it was defeated by the Beiting army."

"This..." The faces of the two officers seemed to have the word "unbelief" written all over them. It could be seen that Song Yun seemed a little impatient, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only stand aside in embarrassment.

Song Yun swung his sword again and began to dig a hole. He straightened up and glanced at everyone as he dug.

"Are you just watching from the side?"

The two officers were taken aback for a moment, then came to their senses, and quickly said, "No, no, we're here to help."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at his subordinates again.

Five hundred cavalry quickly got off their horses, picked up their messy weapons, and followed Song Yun to dig.
