Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 60: Credit for delivering it to your door!
With an expressionless face, Yan Shiyi sat on the ground and waved his hand to have several of his soldiers tie up the dull-looking people and throw them on the edge of the fire on the ground.

In the flickering firelight, everyone's complexions turned a shade of blue, and the uneasiness was infinitely magnified in the hearts of the fleeing people.

Among them, the middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader immediately struggled and begged:

"General, we are people from Qi who came to Fencheng to do business. We just offended the powerful people in the city. They swallowed up our goods and tried to kill us to silence us. So we had to run away overnight, escape here, and return eastward to Qi. country."

"Trader?" Yan Shiyi looked at the middle-aged leader who was speaking indifferently.

Even though his expression couldn't be seen clearly through the black scarf, the middle-aged leader felt a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart, as if he was being watched by some demon.

"Before our Eighteen Riders of Yanyun became famous, we were all horse thieves running rampant outside the Great Wall. They often robbed and killed Hu tribes on the grasslands, and plundered countless caravans. Even the tribes outside the Great Wall with more than [-] soldiers heard about us. I have to shake my brother's name. How can you two hide this clever trick from us?"

"Fen City is located on the front line of the war between Qin and Zhao. It is true that merchants gather here. But if you say you want to kill people and seize goods, I don't believe it. Merchants value their property more than their lives. If something happens, why don't you go to the government? What's more, Qin Lu is famous for being strict. Looking at you and others looking anxious and sweating, it's clear that there is something wrong in your heart."

"am I right……"

The faint words echoed in the forest, and everyone's goosebumps were about to explode listening to Yan Shiyi's words.

Especially the pupils of the people tied to the ground shrank sharply.

But the more frightened they were, the more they begged for mercy.

"It's unfair, it's unfair, General..." The middle-aged leader continued to argue.

However, Yan Shiyi and others who were originally sitting cross-legged on the ground all changed their expressions. Suddenly they stood up and looked around, or fell down to listen.

Yan Shishi, who was at the edge, fiercely picked up the flag on the side, pierced the iron spear point under the flagpole into the ground at his feet, listened attentively, and his face suddenly changed: "There are people marching nearby... Yue It’s getting closer and closer, no more than thirty miles away!”

The Hu people marching on the grassland are accustomed to sleeping with their heads on the saddles. They can judge whether there is a large army moving nearby by relying on the vibration of the ground. A keen person can even infer the number and distance of the opponent, and distinguish between light cavalry and heavy cavalry.

Although Yan Shiwu was not a Hu, he had fought with Hu tribes for many years, and he had already learned this skill when he was hunting Hu.

The vibration coming from the flagpole of this big flag now was not like the sound that would be made by the infantry of Xinliang and Hangu armies in the valley behind them.

Yan Shiyi put his hand on the flagpole, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "It came so fast... I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend."

"Cavalry..." Yan Shiwu reported: "I don't know the number, but the galloping cavalry must be approaching."

"How far is it?"

"No more than twenty miles."

Yan Shiyi fiercely drew out the bow from his back, opened the bow and set an arrow, and a whistle pierced into the sky with a sharp whistling sound.

It was too late for him to send an order to the army behind him. He fired the whistle, which was to put the entire army on alert and prepare to launch a defensive formation.

After doing all this, Yan Shiyi and others immediately got on their horses, ignoring the middle-aged men for the time being, and galloped towards the high slope on the left side of the valley like a whirlwind. At this time, the army resting in the valley behind had already blown the whistle. Urgent horn.

woohoo-

When Yan Shiyi and others rushed up the hillside, there was already a fire dragon tearing through the depths of the night at the end of the field of vision, roaring towards the valley here.

At this time, everyone can clearly feel the vibration under their feet.

"Wuli..." Yan Shiwu whispered: "If it's not Zhao's Hu Dao Knight who comes, then it can only be..."

Leopard Rider.

A flash of light flashed in Yan Shiyi's eyes, and he already had a guess in his heart almost as soon as he saw the torrent of flames. …

Soon after, the camp in the valley was brightly lit.

Two thousand Leopard Cavalry joined forces with the [-]-strong army led by Yan Da. The originally tense and chilling atmosphere completely stabilized, and the cold light of the armor and weapons shone like stars.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, all the generals were seated on the left and right. Yan Daqi sat at the top and smiled at Li Cunxiao and said:

"... Ever since we knew that our lord had defeated the coalition forces at the Fenshui River, we immediately led our troops to come here, traveling day and night. We were afraid of missing the important event of our lord, but we didn't expect that our lord would send you to meet us without warning..."

However, as soon as Yan Da finished speaking, he saw Li Cunxiao in front of him, shaking his head and saying, "I'm not here to pick you up, but I'm here to track down a group of fleeing people."

"Fleeing?" For a moment, the eighteen riders of Yanyun in the tent looked stunned, and then their expressions became serious. It was definitely not an ordinary person that Li Cunxiao could hunt down.

In other words, something extraordinary happened in Fencheng.

Yan Shiyi and others looked at each other with strange expressions. There couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Immediately, Yan Shiyi clasped his fists and stepped out of the queue and said: "General Zuo, we just captured a group of thieves at the entrance of the valley. They should be the fugitives you want to hunt down."

"How many thieves have you caught?"

"We arrested four people who were not honest in front of us and said they were some kind of businessmen." Yan Shiyi immediately ordered the people outside the tent to bring all the thieves over.

Hearing this, Li Cunxiao looked at them and said, "You guys are so lucky, you got a big credit for nothing!"

"How big is it?" Yan Da asked in a deep voice, but everyone's expressions became more solemn. The greater the credit, the greater the risk in Fen City.

Li Cunxiao immediately told Yan Yun what happened during the day.

"What? Someone actually assassinated the lord?"

In an instant, Yan Da and others suddenly erupted with a fierce force, and the temperature in the entire tent dropped a few points in an instant.

The face of Yan Yun's Eighteenth Cavalry instantly turned gloomy, his eyes flashed with red light, and his cold words resounded in the tent.

"Should kill!"

"Bring them here and question the mastermind. My brothers and I will kill them all immediately."

"No matter whether he is from Qin or the Six Kingdoms, as long as he is found, he will be killed and blood will flow like a river."

"Yes. That's it."

Although Yan Da and the others knew very well that with Yingjun's ability, they would be safe and sound, but at this moment they still couldn't restrain the anger in their hearts.

They are Yingjun's personal guards.

If they were still with Ying Jun back then, such an assassination would never have happened. Everything would have been snuffed out in the bud.

Not even with such fanfare.

"No rest, break camp and set off immediately!"

In an instant, Yan Da and others did not want to delay any longer.

Anyway, after experiencing such a thing, the entire army was no longer sleepy, so they simply fired up the army and rushed back to Fencheng overnight.
