The vast desert.

It was dark, but you could still see cows and sheep grazing everywhere. These cows and sheep ran out from nowhere. When they saw the knights, they were not afraid and continued to eat their meals.

Kou Liu looked warily into the distance and immediately blew the horn.

Not long after, a scout from the other side slowly approached and raised a flag.

Kou Liu gave orders to his left and right people, and then rode off alone.

"My troops are stationed here! Stay away!!"

Kou Liu looked at the many knights holding bows and crossbows in front of him. There was no fear on his face. He had a solemn expression and stared straight at the knights in front of him with an extraordinary aura.

Among the scouts, a general looked at the bandit in front of him seriously. He looked at it for a long time, and then he said with a smile: "This strong man, don't worry, I am the Marquis of Yitao County, and I am here to honor you."

Your Majesty has ordered us to escort General Liu to Wuchuan."

"Is there an edict?"

"Hahaha, warrior, do you think there can be an edict?"

Chi Lie Xiaozhong laughed, "How can there be any document to prove such a thing?"

Kou Liu said seriously: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but our army does not need to be escorted."

"I am doing this under orders, how can I leave? Just go and inform your general."

Kou Liu didn't dare to say anything more, turned around and left the place.

When Kou Liu rode away, Chi Li Xiaozhong looked to the left and right, with a serious expression on his face, "I see that their scouts are alert and their knights are powerful. They don't seem to be tired soldiers, so don't rush to take action."

Everyone on the left and right nodded, and a knight rode back to the front of the army and spoke in a low voice to everyone.

There are more than a thousand people in this group. They don't seem to be too familiar with each other. They even dress a little differently. They look more like a makeshift army.

They are all lightly armored and full of energy, with sharp eyes.

Soon after, Kou Liu rode back again.

"My general invites you."

Chi Lie Xiaozhong smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."

Kou Liu then led the county prince towards the high slope in the distance. After climbing over the high slope, he could see the temporary camp tent.

Liu Taozi and others used vehicles and supplies to build a simple camp. The camp was not complete. It only had several different levels of obstacles on all sides to prevent the horses from charging. When Chi Lie Xiaozhong saw this scene, his face

His smile became a little more hypocritical, and he said with a smile: "General Liu is said to be good at fighting. When I saw him today, his reputation was well-deserved. He came back victorious and yet he was so vigilant. This method of blocking horses and setting up camp is only seen by the King of Pingyuan.

Yes, General Liu is awesome, awesome."

Kou Liu said nothing.

There were several knights guarding the entrance and exit, holding crossbows and looking at them coldly.

They bypassed the few horses in front of them and went left and right several times before reaching the middle.

A tent was set up here, and there were many bonfires in the middle. Some knights were still resting here.

They saw Liu Taozi sitting in front of the bonfire at the top, still wearing armor and stained with blood. He just stared at the bonfire in front of him without saying a word.

Kou Liu got off his horse and looked at the county prince.

He immediately dismounted and followed Kou Liu as he walked up to Liu Taozi with a smile.

Liu Taozi was still sitting on the ground, raised her head and looked at the county prince, extremely rude.

Chi Li Xiaozhong saluted, "General Liu, on your Majesty's order, I am here to escort the general to Wuchuan."

Liu Taozi motioned for him to sit down.

After the other party took his seat, Liu Taozi suddenly asked: "The Xi people have been defeated and have no fighting power. How can they be called escorts?"

Chi Lie Xiaozhong looked around and whispered: "General, you and I are our own people, why should we do this?"

"oh?"

"The general has offended a lot of generals today. These people have troops under their command. If I escort them and have His Majesty's orders, these people will naturally not dare to mess around."

"Trespassing? Do they still dare to attack and kill the general of the dynasty?"

A trace of disdain flashed across Chi Lie Xiaozhong's face, and he quickly said: "I'm afraid these people are impulsive."

"The general doesn't know something."

"Most of these generals have private soldiers. The soldiers under their command are more willing to obey their general orders than the edicts of the temple."

Chi Li Xiaozhong cursed his ignorance in his heart.

What are we afraid of?

But His Majesty the Emperor, does he dare to kill the nobles of the country for the sake of a general?

It was we who pushed him to the throne. If it is not appropriate, someone else can push him to the throne.

After hundreds of years of torment by heroes, imperial power has completely lost its sanctity. After a certain emperor was killed in the street, after a certain emperor was beaten three times by a minister, and after a lot of crazy emperors appeared

After that, the emperor became not so rare.

The generals with heavy troops recognize you, and you are the emperor. If you don't have troops, you are just a dog-legged person!

The two talked for a while.

Liu Taozi suddenly sighed.

"well."

Chi Lie Xiaozhong was a little surprised, "Why is the general sighing?"

"I went on this expedition and made a lot of achievements. However, I still have soldiers who stayed behind in Wuchuan, but they failed to make any achievements."

"Hahaha, the general is stationed in Wuchuan, are you afraid that you won't have the chance to make meritorious deeds in the future?"

"There are quite a few opportunities to make meritorious deeds, but when I go back this time, I have to bring something back to the soldiers stationed in Wuchuan, right?"

"What does the general want to take back?"

"Maybe you can take the prince's head back with you."

At this moment, Chi Lie Xiaozhong only felt horrified. He realized something, his back felt cold, he jumped up and was about to speak.

"Will"

"Shua~~"

"Pfft!"

Liu Taozi's sword flashed an arc of light, and the next moment, Chi Lie Xiaozhong's head flew up.

"Do it!!"

The soldiers roared loudly, and the soldiers sitting by the campfire suddenly took action and rushed to the left and right. Yao Xiong rushed out of the camp and led the people to charge.

Kou Liu and others started shooting.

Unprepared, the knights who followed Chi Lie Xiaozhong into the tent suffered numerous casualties. They were trapped in the middle, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Some people returned to the original route, and happened to encounter those who were charging towards them.

Knights.

Liu Taozi held the head and shouted in Xianbei dialect: "Surrender without killing!!"

But these knights did not give up resistance at all, and some even wanted to charge at Liu Taozi. Liu Taozi lost his head and replaced it with a strong bow.

The shouts of death and wailing continued in the camp for a long time.

Yao Xiong panted and walked to Liu Taozi's side, his body covered with heads.

He grinned and said, "Brother, I ran a little further. It's dark, so I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

"Forget it then, continue to rest and let Kou Liu keep an eye on the surroundings. There may be more."

"only!!"

There are soldiers holding spears and stabbing each other on the ground one by one. No matter whether they are dead or alive, they must stab the throat to ensure death and unable to resist.

Then everything on your body has to be taken away.

Finally his head was cut off.

Potaro looked at the busy people in the distance and swallowed, "Brother, should this matter be kept secret?"

"A man sent by the Khan."

"Oh, if the Khan wants to send someone to escort him, he won't send it when he's in Erhechuan, but he'll send him halfway there?"

"Look at the clothes these people are wearing, do they look like His Majesty's Central Army?"

"It's obviously an unorganized army cobbled together by nobles from all walks of life. Even the filial piety in the army was not there. When I read out the merits of the soldiers yesterday, I had never heard of this person. I'm afraid this person is not real.

"

"Don't worry, I'll cut off the heads and take them back to share the work with the brothers in the garrison."

"only!!"

Since leaving Erhechuan yesterday, Liu Taozi slowed down, fell out of the big group, and drove towards Wuchuan calmly.

It is a pity that big figures like Liu Honghui or He Baren never showed up.

Kou Liu could always find some sneaky groups walking around, but they were just trash and not worth mentioning.

Even today, he is not considered a big shot.

Liu Taozi originally thought that he could eliminate several Chinese military competitors for Gao Changgong, but unexpectedly, they did not even have the courage to appear in front of Liu Taozi.

After dealing with this guy, Liu Taozi accelerated his marching speed and drove all the way towards Wuchuan.

"Lord!!"

Tian Zili led many generals from Wuchuan and other places and went twenty miles out of the city to greet him.
