At the same time, within the Qiang tribe …
Li Yuanhong was munching on a lamb leg, a smile on his face.
"To the Grand Marshal!"
At this moment, a scarred officer stood up and chuckled.
"With the wise guidance of the Grand Marshal, it's only a matter of time before those Central Plains people are captured!
"When the time comes, we'll be able to live a good life!"
Hearing Scarface's words, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
In the past few days, they had plundered twenty-some villages in the northern region and obtained large quantities of food and treasure.
Li Yuanhong was also very happy when he heard this. He laughed and said,
"Well said!"
"The women who served me tonight, I'll reward them to you tomorrow!"
Scarface was immediately overwhelmed by the favor. He laughed out loud and said,
"Many thanks, Grand Marshal!"
"We've been eyeing them for a long time!"
But Li Yuanhong was not angry. On the contrary, he was smiling even more.
In his eyes, these captured Central Plains women were just tools for him to vent his frustrations.
Giving them to his subordinates was naturally the most appropriate.
In any case, if he got tired of them, he could always exchange them.
He had captured quite a lot of women from these twenty villages.
"Hold on, it's already dark. Why hasn't Yuanneng returned yet?"
Li Yuanhong seemed to think of something, and the smile on his face vanished as he sternly said.
Scarface, who was already tipsy, spoke up.
"Grand Marshal, don't panic!"
"Perhaps that kid Yuanneng found some meat and came a little late. Is there something wrong with that?"
The meaning of big meat was a big village, a big business.
After all, in their view, a big village would have more resources and would take a longer time to plunder. This was very reasonable.
But Li Yuanhong frowned.
"That's not right. He took all of our cavalry with him. How could he not have returned with such speed?"
"You guys, immediately take the soldiers and go look for him!"
"These are my precious cavalrymen. Nothing can happen to them!"
Li Yuanhong's words were an imperial edict in the eyes of these junior commanders.
They didn't dare to disobey. Although they hadn't finished eating the meat, finding Li Yuanneng as soon as possible was the most important thing.
After all, Li Yuanneng didn't just bring the twenty thousand cavalrymen under the Grand Commander.
Li Yuanneng himself was the younger brother of Li Yuanhong, who shared the same mother. The two of them were extremely close.
If anything happened to Li Yuanneng, the Grand Commander would definitely be furious.
At that time, if they were to vent their anger on him, it would be over.
"I say, Yuan Neng should be fine, right?"
At this moment, a man with squinted eyes approached Scarface and whispered.
Scarface waved his hand.
"What could have happened?"
"Yuan Neng can lead 20,000 cavalrymen, 20,000!"
"What can those Central Plains soldiers do? They're all good-for-nothings, how can they compare to us? "
"If I can't beat him with Origin Energy, can't I just take it and run?"
"It can't be that we can't even outrun those Central Plainsmen who don't even have horses, can it?"
Hearing Scarface's words, Slit-eyed was still a little worried.
That being said, it was too late now.
The Grand Commander had strictly ordered them to return before nightfall. Even if there were still treasures, they should go and get them tomorrow.
This was for no other reason than to guard against Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning often appeared at night, and every time he appeared, he would definitely kill many soldiers.
After all, their work was obstructed at night, so the soldiers wouldn't notice Zhang Ning's presence at all.
And Zhang Ning had indeed been on the move these past few days.
It was just that he used a different method.
Ever since he saw Bai Feng last time, that black shadow's consciousness seemed to have been sealed again. Now, it was a perfect killing weapon.
Thus, he didn't need to use lightning strikes. He only needed to activate the Earth Scroll to control the black shadow's scarecrow to easily assassinate the Qiang soldiers.
Every time he returned from a raid, he would always find that a few soldiers were missing. There was even one time when a hundred soldiers were missing.
This matter made Li Yuanhong angry and afraid, so he ordered them to return before nightfall.
Li Yuanneng, who usually led the cavalrymen, was usually the first to return. Now, he was actually absent.
The narrow-eyed man felt that something was amiss.
"Do you think Yuanneng was killed by that she-devil?"
The narrow-eyed man looked around and saw that there was no one else besides Scarface, so he asked softly.
Scarface was taken aback at first, then he said,
"Kid, are you drunk?"
"Yuanneng only brought cavalrymen with him!"
"Also, I didn't hear any thunder. How could that she-devil outrun cavalrymen?"
"Moreover, Yuanneng brought thirty thousand men with him! It's not like he brought a dozen patrolling soldiers. How could that she-devil dare to attack him? "
Although Scarface was drunk, what he said was very reasonable.
The narrow-eyed man nodded thoughtfully.
"Then that's Yuanneng brat. It's already so late, and he still hasn't returned!"
The two of them chatted idly as they led their soldiers towards the northern border.
The two of them didn't dare to be careless. They only dared to go with ten thousand men, and they didn't dare to go too far.
They were afraid that they would encounter that terrifying she-devil along the way.
More and more Qiang soldiers had been killed in the past two days, causing the Qiang people to panic.
However, this she-devil only appeared at night, so they were less worried during the day.
But at night, they were still very cowardly.
Humans were always afraid of death. The Qiang people weren't afraid of dying on the battlefield, but they were afraid of dying without knowing why.
In their opinion, if they found the corpses of these dead soldiers, they would burn them and bury them in the ground, praying that their souls could rest in peace.
If they couldn't find their corpses, they would be completely finished and would never be reincarnated.
Scarface and the narrow-eyed man had just come out, and they were mostly sober.
This feeling was really refreshing.
The cold wind blew in the middle of the night, and there was no moonlight. They all relied on the weak light of the fire to look around.
"Why don't we go back?"
Scarface immediately cowered and said in a low voice,
"I'm afraid Yuanneng won't be able to survive in this kind of night!"
"Who knows, maybe he just stayed in one of those villages in the Central Plains?"
Before the narrow-eyed man could speak, a soldier suddenly screamed in front of them.
"Ah!"
"It's … it's a corpse, a corpse!"
Hearing the soldier's screams, the two of them panicked and hurriedly looked in the direction the soldier was pointing.
With the weak light of the fire, the two of them finally saw it clearly.
These dead soldiers were clearly under Yuanneng's command!
"Oh no, Yuanneng …"
Before the narrow-eyed man could finish, the next scene was one he would never forget.
The mountains before him were filled with Qiang corpses!
Not a single person survived, not even their horses!
