Chapter 762: Kill Nalanyan to vent his anger?

The next day.

Daliang, Hedong Road, Yunzhou.

To the east of Yunzhou, at the foot of the Great Wall, there is a pass called "Niubi Pass". It is located among the mountains and ridges. It has always been the first natural barrier for Hedong Road to resist the northern grassland cavalry.

On the battlements of Niupiguan, countless Daliang soldiers stood with guns in hand, headed by General Shi, looking at the vast grassland in the north, as if waiting for someone.

"Master Marquis, why don't they show up yet? Seeing that noon is approaching and the scorching sun is in the sky, it's already a full hour later than expected!" A general couldn't hold his breath and walked back and forth anxiously on the battlements.

"..."

Yes, it was Su Xian and his party that they were waiting for.

Thinking back to that day, countless Liao troops poured into Taiyuan City. General Shi was already in despair. He was unable to turn the tide. He failed to live up to the expectations of the Queen and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and he also failed the people of the world!
Under self-blame, he felt that he had no face to survive in the world, so he drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

But who would have expected that at this moment, the Liao troops suddenly retreated like a tide, leaving General Shi and others behind in a hurry, looking at each other in confusion.

Later, scouts came to report that the Liao army not only withdrew from Taiyuan, but also withdrew from the entire Daliang. All the prefectures and counties occupied by them were unconditionally abandoned and returned to the north of the Great Wall.

General Shi was extremely puzzled. He had fought in battles all his life and had seen a lot, but this was the first time he had encountered this situation.

Immediately afterwards, news came that it turned out that there was a change in the Liao Kingdom. King Hunxie entered the palace with force and forced the Liao Emperor to abdicate. The initiator was the legendary Marquis of Fanyang County...

Yesterday, the Queen ordered to welcome the Marquis of Fanyang County in triumph.

And sent trusted followers from the city of God.

After General Shi heard about this, he took the initiative and rushed to Niupi Pass with his troops.

He smiled boldly and said:
"I have long heard of the fame of the Marquis of Fanyang County. I never expected that this time the Liao army invaded the border, it was him who finally turned the tide. I can't wait to see the Marquis's style!"

"..."

However, they boarded the battlements of Niupiguan early in the morning and waited for almost a whole morning, but Su Xian and his party were still nowhere to be seen. Not to mention the restless general, even General Shi was secretly worried.

Because before that, someone told them that Su Xian and his party would rush to Niupi Pass this morning and return to Daliang.

Another general guessed:

"It is said that the newly enthroned Liao Emperor is cunning and cunning. Although he allowed the Marquis and his entourage to leave Yacheng, he is very likely to go back on his promise and set traps along the way. I am afraid that the Marquis and his entourage will be... in danger!"

The other generals agreed one after another:
"It's very possible! Liao thieves have always been cunning and have no credibility at all."

"We should send troops across the Great Wall and respond secretly..."

"..."

General Shi's wrinkled hands stroked the city wall covered with traces of vicissitudes of life.

Suddenly, he changed from stroking to slapping, making a crisp sound.

The generals shut up at the same time.

"Don't make wild guesses!"

General Shi's voice was old and sonorous, and he looked at the grasslands in the north and said:
"I have already heard about the Eight Great Khans. Even if Emperor Liao is treacherous and untrustworthy, he would not dare to be vague about such a matter! Just wait with peace of mind. I believe that Lord Marquis and the others will return safely in the end!"

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised his finger and pointed to the distance in the north, shouting excitedly: "Old General... Lord Marquis and the others are back!"

Everyone's expressions became serious, and they leaned against the female wall on the battlement and looked out. Sure enough, in the far distance, a group of people appeared, galloping towards Niubi Pass!

In the blink of an eye, the group of people was close.

Old General Shi had also seen clearly that it was Su Xian and his party. He was so excited that he turned around and walked down the battlement, and said to the generals: "You and I will leave the customs together, and welcome the triumphant return of Lord Hou!"

"Order!"

The general and soldiers accepted the order with a bang. They were very excited. This was an outstanding man who single-handedly forced the Liao army to withdraw. They would see their true appearance soon.

……

Not bad!

That was indeed Su Xian and his party.

They had been on the road since they set out from Yacheng, never stopping to rest, and even changing horses were done while galloping.

The news that they would arrive at Niupi Pass this morning was originally sent by Yan Dashan to send someone back in advance.

But the situation was changing rapidly. In order to avoid possible risks, Yan Dashan decided to make a temporary detour, so that he was about two hours late.

Fortunately, they finally returned to Daliang safely.

"Call..."

Su Xian and his entourage slowly stopped.

The Butterfly Valley masters holding shields and crossbows in front were arranged on both sides. Su Xian and others, who were protected in the inner circle, finally "see the light of day".

Su Xian saw General Shi and the soldiers standing in awe at a glance. He urged his horse forward, looked up at the city wall of Niupiguan, and was filled with emotion for a moment!
Daliang, he is finally back!

"General Shi Gong, by order of Her Majesty the Queen, I would like to welcome the Marquis on his triumphal return!" Although General Shi was old, his voice was extremely loud. His voice brought Su Xian back to reality.

"The generals are waiting to welcome the Marquis on his triumphant return!" The soldiers roared in unison and performed a military salute. The heroic voice echoed in the steep mountains and forests and lasted for a long time.

Su Xian turned over and dismounted, helped General Shi up, and sighed: "I bothered General Shi to come and pick him up in person. I'm ashamed of myself. General, please get up quickly!"

General Shi took advantage of the situation and stood up, looked at Su Xian carefully, and laughed loudly: "The feats of the Marquis are worthy of a hundred generals, and the generals can't wait to see the style of the Marquis!"

"Now I can see that the Marquis is truly extraordinary, a dragon and a phoenix among men. With talents like the Marquis in Daliang, I can finally rest in peace..."

"..."

Su Xian felt a little depressed when he heard him talk about "the last general" and laughed at himself for "entering the earth with peace of mind".

But he didn't think much about it. After greeting the other party in a serious manner, he ordered someone to "lift" Nalanyan off the horse.

As a hostage, Nalanyan naturally had no human rights. Su Xian ordered people to tie her hands behind her back and gag her mouth with a cloth.

At this time, General Shi walked to Yan Dashan respectfully, with tears in his eyes, and said politely: "General..."

When Yan Dashan saw this, he felt intensely, thinking of his father and brothers who died on the battlefield and were buried in horse leather, and the good times they spent fighting the enemy together.

General Shi was originally a general of the Yan family. He once followed the Yan family on the battlefield. Now that the Yan family's father and brother are gone, the two of them feel like they are separated from each other when they meet again...

Su Xian didn't bother them to reminisce.

He took a dagger from Tang Shujing's hand, and with an evil smile on his face, slowly walked towards Nalan Yan who was lying softly on the ground.

Although Na Lanyan's feet were not bound, she was jolted on the horse for a long time, and she couldn't move her hands or speak. Her legs were already numb and stiff, and now she couldn't stand after getting off the horse.

"Well……"

When she saw Su Xian approaching with a dagger, her eyes were full of fear and she struggled desperately, but her legs and feet were so weak that she couldn't move. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was completely confused.

When Yan Dashan and Guan Ping heard the commotion, they all turned their heads and raised their brows.

Did Su Xian want to avenge his personal revenge and kill Nalan Yan to vent his anger?
