It was autumn, and the temperature of the grassland at night was low.
Chu Chi was leading thousands of Black Knights to rest. They were warming themselves by a bonfire, looking at the vast black land in the distance.
Han Sicai, the commander of the Black Knights, walked over to Chu Chi with a wineskin and asked,"Your Highness, are we still following tomorrow?”
Chu Chi took the wine bag and took a sip. He said lightly,""No, there's no point in following us. We'll go somewhere else tomorrow.”
"Other places?" Han Sicai was puzzled.
"There are many people from other tribes in the Donghu army this time. Since they dared to collude with the Child Beggar Invitation, they naturally have to pay the price."”
Han Sicai pondered for a moment and said,"Does Your Highness want to destroy their nest?”
Chu Chi looked at Han Sicai and nodded with a smile."You're right. They're going out on a large scale this time, so our hometown will definitely be empty. Instead of staying in the city, why don't we take the initiative to attack?”
"But Your Highness, the grasslands are so vast. How can we find their lair?" Han Sicai asked.”
"Well, someone will naturally send us the news." Chu Chi smiled mysteriously.”
Hearing Chu Chi say this, Han Sicai knew that His Highness already had a plan, so he didn't ask any further.
A dark cloud covered the moonlight. The bonfire in front of Chu Chi suddenly shook.
"Who is it?" Han Sicai immediately pulled out his sword and stood up, his gaze sharp as he stared ahead.
In front of the bonfire, an old man holding a withered wooden staff stood there. He appeared silently like a ghost.
The surrounding cavalrymen reacted quickly as well. They stood up and surrounded the old man at the first moment, staring at him with sharp eyes.
Chu Chi didn't move. He calmly drank a mouthful of wine, then glanced at the old man and said,""Who are you?"
Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully,"I am Ku Mu, Lord Zhao's killer. Greetings, Your Highness.”
"Oh? Are you Zhao Gao's man?" Chu Chi was a little curious.
He was familiar with the people in the Network, especially the Heaven Killer. He knew all of them, but why had he never heard of a person like " Ku Mu "?
"Yes."
Chu Chi placed his hands on his knees and stared coldly at Ku Mu.""I remember that you aren't among the Heavenly Assassins of the Network.”
"This subordinate is Lord Zhao's new recruit, so Your Highness naturally doesn't know this subordinate."”
Chu Chi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Gao to be so efficient. Since he knew Zhao Gao, he must be right.
Chu Chi sized up the old man for a while and asked,""The net is named after a sword. Where's your sword?”
The old man picked up the wooden staff in his hand and said,"Your Highness, your subordinate's sword is here.”
Chu Chi glanced at the wooden staff in Ku Mu's hand and felt that there was indeed a sword intent hidden within. He nodded and said,""I see. Is this your Withered Tree Sword? It's a good sword.”
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness." The old man said respectfully.
Han Sicai and the other cavalrymen were confused. They didn't understand what was going on. This old man who had suddenly appeared was one of His Highness 'men?
Chu Chi saw that the soldiers around him were standing still, so he waved his hand and said,""It's fine. You guys continue to rest.”
"Yes, sir!" The cavalrymen cupped their fists in response.
After the surrounding soldiers dispersed, Chu Chi asked Ku Mu,""Then, why did you suddenly appear in front of me?”
The old man took out a sheepskin from his pocket and held it with both hands."This subordinate has important information here. The matter is urgent, so I came directly to report to Your Highness. I hope Your Highness can forgive me.”
Han Sicai cautiously walked over and took the sheepskin from Ku Mu's hand. After confirming that there was no danger, he handed it to Chu Chi.
Chu Chi took the sheepskin and unfolded it. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but frown.
"Longevity Heaven Bone Poison!"
F * ck you, isn't this the ancient version of the virus war?
Longevity Heaven was a mysterious organization in Donghu. Legend had it that there were many powerful wizards in the organization. Everyone was good at witchcraft and poison. It was said that they could communicate with the gods and called themselves "God's Messengers".
But in fact, this was a group of people who had fallen into the evil path, specializing in some unorthodox things that made people's expressions change.
Although Chu Chi wasn't sure what exactly this "Bone Poison" was, he knew that it wasn't anything good just by hearing its name.
According to Chu Chi's understanding of the nature of Longevity Heaven, this was definitely some kind of poison that could cause mass destruction.
In fact, Donghu had done something like this before. In history, Longevity Heaven had once helped Donghu Khagan invade the Jin Dynasty before Daliang. Using witchcraft, they poisoned millions of soldiers and civilians at the border, and the poison remained for nearly a hundred years.
It was only after the founding of Daliang that it was slowly eliminated. Longevity Heaven was also known by the world after this incident.
However, Longevity Heaven was very mysterious. It rarely appeared in front of the world. It was like a group of rats hiding in the dark, sneaky.
He didn't expect that this group of rats would jump out and attack him.
When Chu Chi thought of this, the killing intent in his eyes burst out, and the surrounding air became suffocating.
