The man crouched down with his back to the crowd and slowly loosened the cold rope around the corpse. He took off the fur coat and wrapped it around the corpse.
Fan Fen angrily pulled out the cold saber at his waist. At the same time, even Shi Yulu began to pull out his saber.
An old man gently walked to the side of the young man. Immediately, the entire wheat field was filled with a majestic and fierce sword aura.
Yu Luandao said in a low voice, "Fan Fen, stop! Don't be impudent! "
Fan Fen was stunned. Yu Luandao's unwarranted obstruction made this man, who had been on the battlefield for twenty years, feel even more grief and indignation. The moment he raised his saber and charged forward, he saw the young man, after putting the fur coat on the corpse, grab his own face with his five fingers like hooks and peel off his "face" bit by bit.
He heard the man mumble to himself, "Yes, your deaths were not worth it. You died in Ji Province, in a foreign land."
"Even Liyang couldn't protect the common people. Why did you Youzhou cavalry still care even though you knew it was death? You knew you were defying the Beiliang scout's orders, but you still cared? "
The man gently closed the eyes of the scout who died with remaining grievances. He smiled bitterly and said, "If it were three years ago, I wouldn't have understood either. At that time, I thought only the heroes of Jianghu would help when they saw injustice. But when I really entered Jianghu, when I visited both Liyang and Beimang, I realized that it wasn't the case. Even the heroes of Jianghu are not as stupid as you. "
The young man raised his head and looked at the only living person left among the five scouts. It was the young Youzhou scout. He asked, "What are your names?"
The young scout blurted out, "Fan Liao, Hu Zonghan, Zhao Dian. I only know that the sergeant's surname is Lu. He never showed us his military plate."
Fan Fen said, "Lu Chengqing. He's been in the army for twelve years. He started out as a crossbowman in Liangzhou. He should have been a marksman a long time ago. All these years, as long as he had a little military merit, he would give it to his brothers. And this kid, he's called Liu Tao. He's never been a coward."
Not only did the young man, who looked like he came from an aristocratic family, help the corpse stand up, but he also used the rope to tie the corpse to him. He took the corpse off the horse, and the dead and the living rode on the same horse.
He said, "Yu Luandao, take the three corpses back to Silver Sparrow City first. Lead the six thousand cavalrymen and rush to the mouth of the gourd. I will be able to catch up with your army in half a day. Remember to bring an extra set of armor when you leave the city. Scout Liu Tao, you need to wait here. I'll help you get back the crossbow blade and armor. When the time comes, I'll let you bring the squad leader and those things back. "
As he spoke, the old, young, and young woman also mounted their horses.
Yu Luandao looked at the man who was carrying the corpse of the sergeant on his back.
Hsu Fengnian said softly, "I'll send Lu Chengqing off."

The four riders galloped away.
The killing intent of the four riders was so strong that even Deputy General Shi Yu Lu and Scout Captain Fan Fen felt their scalps tingle.
Shi Yulu, who had no idea what was going on, could not help but ask after he carried a corpse on his back and mounted the horse, "General, what is this?"
Yu Luandao was in a daze.
He was born in the rich Jiangnan of the Central Plains. He had traveled to many places when he was studying. Throughout the year, he could hear the chatter of famous scholars, the sound of guqin in the forest, the laughter of brothels, and the sound of toasting.
But only Beiliang, who fought to the death without words and mourned without sound.
Yu Luandao pulled out the famous blade "Great Luan" and pointed to the south. "Please open your eyes and look at me, Beiliang!"
The cavalrymen quickly left the village. Fan Fen asked gloomily, "General Yu, who is that guy? Is he a big shot in the Liyang Dynasty?"
Yu Luandao shook his head. "Other than Beiliang, who is worthy?"
Yu Luandao laughed. "Him? His name is Hsu Fengnian!"
Shi Yulu and Fan Fen, including all the generals of the Hidden Cavalry, were stunned. They suddenly felt as if sand had entered their eyes.
Fan Fen suddenly turned his horse's head and shouted, "General Yu, I'll quickly tell Liu Tao. He said that the person he admires the most in his life is the person who single-handedly killed Wang Xianzhi! Liu Tao also said that he would never see him again in his life! Let's see if he dares to believe me this time! "
A young captain suddenly said timidly, "General Yu, I also admire him! Otherwise, let me wait in the village for half a day. I promise I can keep up with the army. If I can't, I will cut off my own head! "
Yu Luandao glared. "Is your brain flooded with water? Next, His Highness will follow us to the mouth of the calabash. You can look at His Highness however you want, as long as you want! At that time, as long as you have the ability to follow behind His Highness, I won't stop you! "
The young captain thought that it was right and smiled awkwardly.
— —
In less than half a day, the four abandoned their horses and rushed over the desert, catching up to the six thousand Youzhou cavalrymen.
When the six thousand cavalrymen saw the young man in the lead, they all unsheathed their Beiliang sabers to show their respect.
The four mounted their horses. Hsu Fengnian took the armor tossed to him by a young captain and put it on.
It was unknown who was the first to shout those three words, but even Yu Luandao was cheering.
"Great General!"
Back then, on the training grounds at the mouth of Beiliang's calabash, Hsu Fengnian had made his first appearance in the border army, but at that time, he was only wearing a python robe.
Thus, this was Hsu Fengnian's first time wearing armor to break through the enemy lines.
He turned his head and seemed to see an old man riding side by side with him.
Hsu Fengnian bit his lip and took a deep breath. When he looked again, all he could see was ten thousand li of yellow sand.
He unsheathed his Beiliang saber and urged his horse to gallop. He roared, "Beiliang! Fight to the death! "
"Beiliang!"
"Fight to the death!"
The six thousand cavalrymen rushed out of the calabash with the resolve to die.
Not only did they want to cut off that vast supply line from Beimang's southern court to the mouth of the calabash, they also wanted to completely destroy it!
