Chapter 26
" You said Yun Zong cried?!"
Bai Qi wrinkled his brows and looked at Yu Lan.
Yu Lan nodded.
"Yes, she cried. When I arrived, the woman was still breathing and her features were enchanting. She looked 80% similar to the frightened salamander in the portrait of the Yin-Yang School. Before the woman died, she gave the Frightening Salamander Sword to Yun Zong, hoping to use this sword in exchange for his protection of Yan 'er.”
Wang He frowned and asked,"
"Lord Wu An, could it be that this Startling Salamander and Yun Zong are old friends?”
Baiqi shook his head.
"Impossible. The people from the Network must be mysterious. Yun Zong almost never leaves Xianyang City, so it's impossible for him to know that Startling Salamander who's always out on missions. Furthermore, I had never told him about the net before, so he didn't know much about it. It was impossible for him to be friends with the Startling Salamander.”
"Then…why is Yun Zong crying?"
“……”
Bai Qi pondered for a long time, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and he sighed.
"This old man has only seen Yun Zong cry once. That time, I was ordered by the king to go to war against Broken Water. Broken Water was colluding with bandits and Hu, and I went to pacify them. Two hours after Yun Zong entered the city, the war was settled, but he did not return to report. I was curious and went to find him. I saw him standing beside the corpse of a woman. In the dead woman's arms was a little girl about three or four years old with white hair and eyebrows. I asked Zhang Han what was going on, but he didn't know either. Yun Zong's eyes were red and swollen, and there were about twenty corpses around him. Two of the Hu weren't wearing pants…"
The old man shook his head."
"Thinking about it, the scene that day was probably the same as today, so it evoked a sad thing.”
After saying that, he did not want to mention it anymore. Instead, he asked Yu Lan,
"What else did Yun Zong say?"
"The lieutenant didn't say anything. He only ordered me to bring the child to you.”
"…Then why didn't you leave the Startling Salamander Sword behind? The Startling Salamander's sharpness and reputation were better than his bronze demon sword, right? Moreover, it was the price the previous Startling Salamander had to pay in exchange for the little girl before he died.“
Wang He asked.
The woman shook her head.
"Yu Lan doesn't know. It's just that before we left, the lieutenant threw the Startling Salamander sword over like scrap metal. After that, we stopped talking."
"... If that's the case... Fine. Tell Yun Zong to defend the wild marsh and judge the timing. Leave quickly."
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Yu Lan nodded. Before she left, she seemed to have thought of something and turned her head once more.
"Lord Wu 'an, please know that Yan' er asked about the identity of those assassins on the way here, but I didn't tell him. If Yan 'er asks about Lord Wu' an, please…"
"I understand your intentions.”
"Yes."
After Yu Lan finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Bai Qi let out a long sigh, his eyes unfocused.
……
"I, Xuan Qiwu, pay my respects to Lord Lieutenant!”
The burly Qin soldier had yet to take off his armor and hurriedly bowed when he saw Yun Zong.
Yun Zong glanced at the other party and said nothing.
Xuan Qiwu instantly broke out in cold sweat.
At this moment, Yun Zong said,"
"General Xuan, you and I are of the same rank. I can't accept such a big bow.”
His calm tone revealed a strange tone.
Xuan Qiwu lowered his head even more.
"I wouldn't dare. I came from the Breaking Ranks Camp and was originally a soldier under the lieutenant. One day in the formation camp, forever in the formation camp! This ceremony cannot be abandoned!"
"Not crippled?"
Yun Zong walked in front of Xuan Qiwu. As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the burly man in the face. Instantly, blood came out of the burly man's nostrils.
At this moment, the few bodyguards who had been guarding the side immediately said,
"How dare you!"
"Shut up!"
Xuan Qiwu didn't have time to wipe the blood from his nose. He immediately knelt down on one knee again and cupped his fists.
"Lord Lieutenant, please punish me!"
Yun Zong glanced at the bodyguards and walked up to the burly man again.
"You still have the face to say that you came from the Breaking Ranks Camp?! What? Let me ask you, since I changed the name of the Breaking Ranks Camp, have you ever suffered a defeat?!”
"…Never!"
" Has the city gate been breached?!"
"I haven't."
" Have you protected women and children?!"
"I haven't either!"
"What about you? Nozawa City was broken, and the city was in chaos. The Zhao army marched straight in, and countless people were killed and injured! If I didn't come early, you would have died here today. Xuan Qiwu, Xuan Qiwu! Did you f * cking become capable? Hmm? Why? Are you used to being a tyrant? You don't even know how to fight? Do you want me to call you back and teach you how to fight?! What? A mere 3,000 Zhao soldiers, and a huge city like Nozawa City was almost destroyed by you. What are you doing?! What?"
Yun Zong's every question made Xuan Qiwu lower his head even more. Finally, Yun Zong seemed to have scolded enough. He said,
"It's fine for me to govern the army. However, there was a reason for this matter.”
" There's a reason?!"
Yun Zong kicked Xuan Qiwu's huge body again, causing it to bend over.
"I don't believe that there's a reason for this! Zhao Jun's armor was so bright that it could blind one's eyes at night. Are you blind? Can't you see?!"
"Lord Lieutenant! The city gate was not broken by the Zhao army, but by two Jianghu people! A man and a woman. The man had a red cloth over his eyes, and his skin was made of copper and his bones were made of iron. The woman held a scythe in her hand, and sharp weapons could not hurt her at all! I didn't investigate for a moment…"
Yun Zong narrowed his eyes.
"Impenetrable?"
