Loyalty? Don't be funny. In this huge north, is there any of the millions of Southern Army really loyal to the Northern Jin Dynasty? There must be some. After all, when the forest is big, there will be any bird. What kind of weirdness will not exist in this world?

But Ma Hong is definitely not a weirdo. He is just an ordinary person who takes advantage of the opportunity and has no bottom line to make himself live in troubled times. In Ma Hong's heart, he naturally hates the people of the Clan, but he has no idea of ​​resisting the people of the Clan. The Clan is indeed not very good to the Southern Army, but for generals of his level, in addition to being an angry with a few senior officials of the Clan, the rest of his life is still the life of the local emperor, and even more free and comfortable than when he was a horse bandit back then.

In this case, why did he resist the thankless efforts of the people of the Clan?

However... looking at the woman in black who was smiling in front of her, Ma Hong keenly realized that this attitude would definitely not satisfy the other party. He looked carefully at the dagger in the other party's hand, and Ma Hong smiled and said, "This girl... I have something to say. If you have something to do, we can discuss and discuss it."

Chu Ling sat on the table in front of Ma Hong, and the dagger pressed on Ma Hong's neck. With a gentle force, Ma Hong did not dare to disobey her and she had to sit back in the chair. Chu Ling sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to talk to you well, it's really... the soldiers and horses outside General Ma really make me a little nervous."

Ma Hong cried and said, "What should I do? I can't order them to withdraw at this moment? Tens of thousands of people suddenly withdraw... Girl, do you think so?" Chu Ling nodded and said, "You are right." Ma Hong smiled apologized and said, "Miss, don't worry, girl, I am a person who cherishes my life. Let's talk about what you want to do, and I will never call people. Let's stop using the knife?"

Chu Ling said: "I don't want to do anything either. I just ask... Can you change your direction with your 50,000 soldiers?"

Ma Hong's heart was shocked, but he had some guesses about Chu Ling's purpose, so he was not particularly shocked. He just said with a bitter face: "Girl, aren't you making things difficult for me? You're going to miss the military opportunity and you'll have to kill the whole family."

"You are not full, what are you worried about?" Chu Ling said bluntly: "He was an orphan and became a bandit in his early years. He was ruthless and innocent, without a wife or a child." It has to be said that Ma Hong is a bit capable of getting to this level with such a background.

Ma Hong said quietly: "I don't have one, but there are these brothers in the army. Girl, since you are from Cangyun City, I know what you mean. But... I am also a cattle and horse for others. Not to mention going in the wrong direction, even if you are late for a long time, you will not be able to afford to take advantage of the tens of thousands of brothers from the Southern Army."

Chu Ling could not understand his difficulties at all and said carelessly: "It's easy, why don't you just take someone to raise an army. Do you want to think about it? As far as I know... there are no more soldiers and horses around here. If you raise an army now, it will be easy to occupy a piece of it. As long as you don't harm the people, after this time, you will either become kings by yourself or find a powerful person to surrender, why are you afraid of the people of the Clan?"

Ma Hong laughed dryly and said, "Girl, don't fool me. There are indeed many people in the north who are trying to raise an army in recent years, but unfortunately they can't hold on to the climate. Not to mention the people of the Cangyun City, even the Southern Army are not opponents. Those who are really capable are Cangyun City and Jingbei Army. But... I think they have little chance of winning compared to the people of the Northern Jin Dynasty. What's more, I am from a Ma bandit, and I'm not a member of the same group as Cangyun City."

Chu Ling sighed, "You make me embarrassed like this." Ma Hong raised his eyebrows, as if he believed that Chu Ling would not kill him. Chu Ling smiled at him and said, "Then I'm sorry." Ma Hong was stunned, a little confused about what Chu Ling meant. He was about to ask, and saw Chu Ling slashing his other hand hard on the back of his neck, and Ma Hong's eyes fell down immediately.

Yun Xingyue flashed and came in from outside, and said angrily: "What are you doing with him so much nonsense?"

Chu Ling said, "If he is willing to cooperate, isn't it much more convenient? Who knows he is a stubborn person?" Yun Xingyue sneered and said, "If it were him, I wouldn't choose you." Chu Ling rolled her eyes, "It's a pity that you are just standing aside with us, and you have no choice."

Yun Xingyue waved her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what should I do now? His appearance...it's a bit difficult to disguise."

Chu Ling was speechless and looked at Yun Xingyue for a while before saying, "Are you stupid?" He disguised himself as Ma Hong? Who? This person is only one inch taller than her, but his figure is at least three of hers. Although she is very fat because of her slender and slim figure, she is also a short and strong middle-aged man. Neither of them is suitable for disguise.

Yun Xingyue said angrily: "What do you think you should do?" Chu Ling touched her chin and thought for a moment: "First solve the few deputy generals in the army. There is no leader in the group, and the 50,000 troops can't go anywhere. It would be best if they can guide them to change directions with a little."

Several generals in the army received a notice from the commander who sent people to the tent to discuss matters. Although it was a bit strange to ask someone to discuss matters at this time, no one could say anything when summoned by the commander. They just hurried over as if there was an emergency military situation.

"General, the last general asks for a visit." Standing outside the tent, the deputy general glanced at the two guards guarding the door of the tent frowned slightly.

"Come in." A low and hoarse male voice rang out. The deputy general didn't think much about it, and walked in.

The tent was very quiet, and the deputy general felt a little strange. Could it be that the general called him only... Before he could finish his thoughts, he looked up and saw a few people lying in a row on the ground not far away. When he looked at him, he saw that the person sitting on the main seat was General Ma Hong. However, although Ma Hong was sitting on the main seat, he was indeed tied to the ground with a rope, and there was something in his mouth. The look he looked at him was filled with horror.

not good!

"Come..." A person who had just left the exit, heard the sound of wind behind him, and a coolness passed by his neck. The next moment, the deputy general fell to the ground with a straight stroke. Chu Ling casually shook the blood on the dagger in his hand, looked at the person lying on the ground, then looked at Ma Hong and smiled: "General Ma... Can you talk now?"

Ma Hong only felt as if his face was ashen as earth. All the generals under his command had to use land were plotted against by these two people! What else could he do?

He nodded stiffly, and then Yun Xingyue reached out and pulled off the stuff stuffed into his mouth, and said with dissatisfaction: "It's so convenient to click the acupoints. Don't you think it's a bit of a loss of price to do this?"

Chu Ling didn't feel it, and said calmly: "I occasionally think that the most primitive method is the safest. What if he is a hidden internal skill master?"

"..." Do you look down on him too highly? And if he is really a hidden master, your rope can't tie him up.

Chu Ling casually pulled a chair and sat down in front of Ma Hong, saying, "General Ma, my requirements are not high. Take your 50,000 people south and come back, no problem, right? Of course, it's okay if you don't come back, you can do whatever you want."

Ma Hong didn't say anything, Chu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "But there is a premise... The people under your command should not let me hear that you harm ordinary people. A few days ago... a group of Southern Army escaped from Linjiang City and did something that shouldn't be done. If General Ma can pass this time, he might as well go and inquire about what their fate will be."

The incident of the Southern Army in Linjiang City has not yet been reported, but it must not be long before. Chu Ling did not intend to press down on this matter. Not only did she not plan, but she would not show mercy if she encountered such a thing. One thing Xie Tingze said was right. These Southern Army follow the advice of the people of the Clan because they were afraid of them. Therefore, if they want these people not to harm ordinary people at will, they have to be afraid. Let them know that if they do things that should not be done, they will really be retribution.

Ma Hong swallowed and said with some difficulty: "Girl, I don't want to make things difficult for you, but you also want to leave a way out for us. Let me tell you the truth, I'm not a good person, and I have done a lot of robbery in my early years. But... I really don't have many of us who have done anything crazy that should be punished by heaven and earth. Don't say anything else... You say that the place we are stationed in... The people are not as many troops as there are, and the big heads are all gone by the people of the Clan, so we just drink some soup. Moreover... many soldiers are native natives, and no one wants to do the things that will make the blind dates stabbed the backbone. If there is a mistake in this matter, these tens of thousands of people will die. The Clan will not be polite to us."

Chu Ling looked at Ma Hong carefully. Ma Hong thought she didn't believe it and hurriedly said, "What I said is true!"

Chu Ling smiled at him, and Ma Hong was a little dizzy when shook this smile. Chu Ling said, "Since that's the case, you might as well go against us and attack us from the front and back to kill King Shen. From then on, the large area of ​​the northwest will belong to us, so you naturally don't have to be afraid, how about it?"

"Girl...Girl was joking." Ma Hong said dryly, "I don't have the blessing to follow the girl. Girl is a person who does big things..."

Chu Ling clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the melon is not sweet. Two roads, first, take your people all the way southwest and enter the territory of Xiqin. Second, go northwest and don't come back first if you are afraid of death. The people of the Celestial tribe have not taken care of you for a while. You can pray far northwest, and the Celestial tribe will never be able to deal with Cangyun City, so that you can at least die."

"Go... Go to Xiqin?" What is this operation? Ma Hong was a little puzzled.

Chu Ling said: "I suggest that you can go to Xiqin after going to Xiqin to find the regent of Xiqin. He just took office and lacked troops. Although you are not from Xiqin, it may not be impossible for him to use. If you help him do things, isn't it just right for him to pay? Don't worry, Qin Shu is not short of money." For Qin Shu, who has been away from his homeland for more than ten years, outsiders may be more useful than those from Xiqin, just think it's better to have employment relationships.

Ma Hong didn't know why he actually listened to the woman's nonsense, and couldn't help asking: "Western, northwest..." Chu Ling said: "The northwest is close to the Western Regions. Although it is now considered a place in the Northern Jin Dynasty, the land is barren and the people are tough. The countries close to the Western Regions are often harassed by foreign tribes. The control of the people of the Clan is actually very weak. Now the Northern Jin Dynasty is using troops, and not only can't send troops there, but if there is really no way, they might also transfer back all the troops that are not stationed there. Hey... that's what he said..."

Chu Ling looked back at Yun Xingyue, "Should we send someone to see there?" Yun Xingyue rolled her eyes, "Who should I send? You? Me?" Is there no one at all? Now even Cangyun City is almost no one to accept it, and His Royal Highness the Princess still has these thoughts.

Ma Hong's eyes were rolling rapidly. Although he had been in the area of ​​Liangzhou, Suzhou for most of his life, he had heard some things going north. He hadn't thought it would be fine, but now after hearing the woman in black, he felt that what she said seemed to make sense. If nothing else, there were so many of them who were here, they wouldn't be bullied, right? Isn't it much better than being a cattle, a horse, a cannon fodder, a meat shield for the people of the Clan here?

After a while, Ma Hong finally nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ling smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good, then General Ma will be in trouble."

Ma Hong glanced at the person lying on the ground and the deputy general who had already been exhausted at the door. Chu Ling knew it and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've checked it for you. Your confidants and those who are good in character are still alive. As for those who are dead, don't take it seriously, just turn around and promote a few more."

Ma Hong knew in his heart that the other party was reminding himself that she had not only checked her background, but also investigated her generals. The dead were people with bad records. Although the survivors were not considered good people, they were probably at least barely able to pass.

Chu Ling stretched out his hand towards Yun Xingyue, and Yun Xingyue knew how to hand a porcelain bottle to her. Chu Ling opened the bottle stopper with one hand, squeezed Ma Hong's chin with one hand and poured the medicine directly in. A bitter smell of medicine spread in Ma Hong's mouth instantly, and the medicine was swallowed directly by him.

"You...what did you give me?" Ma Hong said with an ugly expression.

Chu Ling held his chin and said lazily: "It's poisonous."

Ma Hong gritted his teeth, "I have promised you!"

Chu Ling said: "I know, but how could you know that you wouldn't lie to me when you say it?" Ma Hong opened his eyes with guilt, but soon looked at Chu Ling again and gritted his teeth and said: "What do you want?"

Chu Ling said: "Take your people away, ten days later... I will send someone to you the antidote."

"How do I know if you will destroy the bridge across the river?" Ma Hong said.

Chu Ling thought for a while and said, "What am I lying to you? If you are really worried, you can tell your confidant about this. If you die... let me spread the news that I am untrustworthy all over the world. Don't worry, I am a person who loves face and will not be scolded by others."

Ma Hong scoffed at her words, "Who are you? Cangyuncheng has never heard of a person like you. He is a person who does things for others? What is your reputation? Is it worth my life?"

Next to him, Yun Xingyue couldn't help but cough and said sincerely: "This...her reputation may be indeed more valuable than your life."

Princess Shenyou, the young general of Jingbei Army, the wife of the lord of Cangyun City, and the princess of Wu'an, Beijing, can it be worthless?

Chu Ling stood up and said, "My name is Chu Qingyi, the God of Heaven Blessing Princess."

“…”

When Chu Ling and Yun Xingyue left the Southern Army camp, the sky was just slightly cold. Yun Xingyue looked back at the military camp not far behind and frowned and said, "Do you really believe this person?" Chu Ling said, "Why don't you believe it?"

Yun Xingyue said: "This person is not an honest person at first glance."

Chu Ling said: "It doesn't matter if he is not honest. As a Apocalypse, he will be in his life as the commander of the Southern Army. Even if he really makes military achievements, he will never be promoted. What's more, before, the 100,000 Southern Army was defeated by Cangyun Army, do you think he is really not afraid of death? Now I have provided him with a safe and free path, and his life is in my hands. Why don't he leave? Even if he goes to Tuoba Yin to betray me, what benefits can he get? He should be on the battlefield as cannon fodder, and his status will not be improved because of this. The next time he meets a general and official of the tribe, whether he has a higher status than him, he will bow his face. Do you still remember what he was doing before we entered?"

Yun Xingyue touched her chin and said, "He is scolding Tuoba Yin."

Chu Ling said: "He doesn't want to work hard for the people of the Clan, but just wants to be safe and live. If the people of the Clan are not safe and cannot survive, why should he follow him? Where can he go with him with 50,000 troops?"

Yun Xingyue frowned and said, "I don't know why, but I still think you are fooling him. Has I missed something?"

Chu Ling chuckled and said, "That's not, I just... suddenly thought of where Bai Xing might have gone."

Yun Xingyue was stunned and hesitated, "You said Bai Xing led his troops to the northwest? What did he do now?" The north is still the territory of Tianqi, and it is not easy for the people to take tens of thousands of troops to the northwest. Not to mention anything else, how can so many soldiers and horses pass through the place where the Clans are stationed is a big problem. Chu Ling tilted his head and said, "I just think about it casually, and I have to ask Jun Wuhuan in detail. Maybe I guessed it wrong. If I missed it, then it would be considered that Ma Hong was unlucky."

Yun Xingyue looked at her and said, "I think he is very unlucky when I meet you."

When Chu Ling and Yun Xingyue returned to Cangyun City, a war had just ended outside Cangyun City. Xie Tingze had been stationed for several years and was still lost. Deputy General Liu and Xiao Shi with their men and the nearby people retreated to Cangyun City. This was also what Chu Ling ordered before leaving. If he really couldn't defend it, he would retreat.

As for the troops under Tuoba Yin's current command, Chu Ling felt that even if he really reached the border of Western Qin, it would be useless. However, Tuoba Yin did not lead his troops to the border immediately, but continued to attack Cangyun City. Fortunately, he did not have many troops, and the terrain of Cangyun City was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he temporarily blocked Tuoba Yin's attack.

In fact, both sides are waiting for reinforcements now. Chu Ling understands that Tuoba Yin must have requested reinforcements from Shangjing. Tuoba Yin also understands that Chu Ling is also struggling to wait for Jun Wuhuan or someone else to bring troops back to rescue. Now it depends on whose reinforcements arrive first.

"Princess, you're back!"

"Madam!" Everyone in the city lord's mansion quickly came up to meet Chu Ling when he heard that he had returned.

Chu Ling nodded to everyone, his eyes fell on Xiao Shi's body and frowned slightly, and said, "Xiao Shi, how are you injured?"

Compared to when he left, Xiao Shi's face looked a little pale. Chu Ling didn't think he was sick, so he could only suffer internal injuries.

Xiao Shi shook his head and said, "Small injury, thank you for your concern."

Chu Ling said: "Please take a look at Mr. Yun later."

Everyone returned to the hall to sit down. Chu Ling looked at Xiao Shi and asked, "Is it Tuoba Yin injured?"

Xiao Shi hesitated for a moment, but nodded. Yun Xingyue was a little surprised, "Xiao Shi, are you going to fight with that guy Tuoba Yin?" Everyone was speechless. Deputy General Liu coughed lightly and said, "Young Master Yun, General Xiao and Tuoba Yin met on the battlefield." Of course, it is not ruled out that Xiao Shi had the intention to take the opportunity to kill Tuoba Yin.

Chu Ling asked, "How is it?"

Xiao Shi smiled helplessly and said, "I lost."

Yun Xingyue frowned and looked at Chu Ling, "Is Tuoba Yin so powerful?"

Chu Ling thought for a moment and said, "It should be between General Xiao, and it is no surprise who wins and loses. However... Tuoba Yin was injured before, so... did something happen?"

Xiao Shi said with regret: "The people around Tuoba Yin make trouble, and there are many masters around him. Princess must be careful in the future." Chu Ling was not surprised and smiled: "Tuoba Yin is now the only pillar of Tuoba Luo's line, so he will definitely be very cautious. Not to mention being on guard against us, Tuoba Liang is also his target of defense. It is not surprising that he has masters around him, and General Xiao doesn't have to worry about it."

Xiao Shi didn't take it seriously. If he could kill a master like Tuoba Yin with one blow, it would be really lucky. I just felt a little regretful. After all, Tuoba Yin did not have many chances to go to the battlefield with his injuries, and it would be even more difficult to kill him when he was injured.

"Princess, where is the Southern Army..." Deputy General Liu remembered the purpose of Chu Ling's trip.
Chapter completed!
