Chapter 233 That Sword Part 1
Zhan Shaogang was unprepared, he lowered his head in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that Zhai Muhui really stabbed him.

Zhai Mu drew his sword violently, blood gushed from Zhan Shaogang's chest, and he staggered back a few steps.

"You taught me this backhand sword move. How does it taste?"

Zhai Mu said coldly, "When you killed Lei Cong, you did this move. Do you know who I am Lei Cong?"

Zhan Shaogang's figure was on the verge of falling, he managed to stabilize his figure, and fixed his eyes on Zhai Mu.

"Thanks to your Ling Kingdom, my parents died in the war more than ten years ago. It was Lei Cong who picked me up and raised me."

Zhai Mu said slowly, "I call him adoptive father, and he also taught me this Leijiajian hand in hand. He is my only family member, but you, kill him."

Zhan Shaogang's face was ashen. After a while, Fang said in a hoarse voice: "During the battle between the two armies half a year ago, did you deliberately pretend to be a small soldier and come to me?"

Zhai Mu stared at him with pity in his eyes: "Otherwise? General Zhan loves swords like an idiot. When he sees my Grenade Sword, he must love Wu Wu and he will not hurt my life."

The wound on Zhan Shaogang's chest kept gushing blood. Under the moonlight, he looked like a blood man, his face was extremely pale.

No wonder, no wonder he thought Zhai Mu's swordsmanship was vaguely familiar at the time, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

He tried to pull out a smile, but his smile was distorted due to the pain.

He took two steps forward, got closer to Zhai Mu, stared at Zhai Mu, gritted his teeth and said:

"It was I, Zhan Shaogang, who went blind and kept my enemy by my side like a brother. Today Zhan is really to blame—"

Before the word "take" was finished, Zhan Shaogang spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered a few steps, and fell heavily.

His eyes opened blankly for a moment, and slowly closed as if unbearably heavy.

"Drag him away and bury him, along with this sword."

Zhai Mu raised his hand to wipe off the blood spattered by Zhan Shaogang on his face, looked at one of the hidden guards expressionlessly, and ordered, "Treat it cleanly."

The dark guard bowed and dragged the man away together with another dark guard.

Qin Luoyu's hands and feet were cold, and he froze in place, almost unable to move.

She looked at Zhai Mu with complicated eyes, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything after all.

The scene of Lei Cong's tragic death that day was once her nightmare.

She never imagined that Zhai Mu and Lei Cong would be father and son.

It seemed understandable for Zhai Mu to avenge her adoptive father, but why, she only felt the chill of falling into an ice cave.

Zhan Shaogang killed Lei Cong.So Zhai Mu killed Zhan Shaogang.

Can't say who's right, can't say who's wrong.

But it was this indistinguishable killing that made Qin Luoyu's fear of this world magnify again.

Once again, she realized very clearly that this world was incompatible with the world she lived in.

She couldn't adapt, it seemed, and couldn't bear it.

She had to leave, she had to go back.

Xiao Shangyan kept looking at Qin Luoyu. Seeing her pale face, he couldn't help explaining: "Princess, Zhai Mu has no other choice. If Zhan Shaogang is not killed, the princess will not be able to leave properly tonight."

Qin Luoyu looked up at him, "I know. Let's go."

Her calmness was beyond Xiao Shangyan's surprise.

But time was running out, so he didn't say anything, and sent Qin Luoyu and Zhai Mu out of Daqin's camp.

He led more than a dozen secret guards and sent Qin Luoyu away dozens of miles away before reining in the horses.

"If the Emperor of Ling Kingdom knows about the princess's escape, he will definitely not let it go. The minister must stay with the emperor to deal with this matter, and cannot escort the princess anymore."

Xiao Shangyan looked deeply at Qin Luoyu, "But don't worry, princess, the frontier is our Great Qin territory, and there is absolutely no way that there will be soldiers from the Ling Kingdom."

Qin Luoyu nodded slightly and bowed to thank him.

Xiao Shangyan took out a waist card and handed it to Zhai Mu, "Luo City will soon be the boundary of Ling Kingdom, don't stay in Luo City. You take the princess and the dark guard all the way south to Pucheng."

"When you arrive in Pucheng, someone will meet you. With this token, no one will dare to stop you on the road. Be sure to protect the princess."

Pucheng is an inconspicuous small city in the south of the Great Qin Kingdom.The princess is hiding there and no one will know.

Zhai Mu bowed immediately and didn't say much.After receiving the token, he set off with Qin Luoyu.

Xiao Shangyan looked at Qin Luoyu's figure, but she didn't even glance at him, nor did she say a word to him.

He couldn't help saying: "Princess."

Qin Luoyu turned around: "Young General Xiao, is there anything else?"

Xiao Shangyan was full of emotions in his heart, but he couldn't utter a single word when he finished, he just said: "When the matter here is settled, I will rush to the princess' side as soon as possible."

Qin Luoyu: "Okay."

With just the word "good", she turned around and followed Zhai Mu to leave.

Xiao Shangyan stood on his horse and stared at her for a long time, until her figure disappeared into the vast night and could not be seen anymore, then he turned his horse back to the camp.

When Wei Wuji came out of the tent, the sky in the east, which was not yet white, unexpectedly became overcast with clouds.

The moon in the sky was covered by thick dark clouds, and the mountain wind was blowing in bursts, vaguely a precursor to rain and changing the sky.

The mountain wind was blowing fast, and the tent was blown up and down, making a low and dull sound.

The flags in the distance were swept up by the wind and fluttered wildly and vigorously.

Wei Wuji stared at this scene for a while, feeling uneasy for some reason.

He didn't continue to rest, and turned to look for the general on duty tonight, Zhan Shaogang.

He failed to find Zhan Shaogang.Zhan Shaogang was on duty at night, but he had not returned for a long time.

This is abnormal, very abnormal.

It took at most an hour to patrol around the camp. With Zhan Shaogang's temperament, he would definitely show up after the patrol and joke with the soldiers before starting the second round of patrol.

Wei Wuji immediately ordered someone to look for Zhan Shaogang.

Some soldiers patrolling in the middle reported news that they saw General Zhan heading towards Daqin's camp around Choushi at night.

The soldiers had patrol missions and did not dare to stay, so they did not know whether General Zhan would return.

Wei Wuji's heart sank, "Go to Daqin to inquire about the situation. Send more troops to look for General Zhan, in front of the camp, behind the camp, in front of the mountain, behind the mountain, we must all find him!"

As soon as his order was issued, it began to rain crackling in the sky.

The torrential rain came quickly and fiercely, the rain poured down like a torrent, the sky was overwhelmed by black clouds, and the wind gusts.

Wei Wuji stared at the torrential rain, and unconsciously tightened his hand on the hilt of his sword.

After years of fighting in the battlefield, he has cultivated his vigilance and intuition beyond ordinary people.

The uneasiness in his heart was getting worse.

Zhan Shaogang, something may have happened.

*
In a newly dug tomb in the back mountain, a layer of floating soil was washed away by the rain.

Water accumulated in the tomb, and the soft soil was soaked by the rain, turning into a muddy puddle.

From the mud pit, a man covered in mud slowly crawled out.
