Chapter 473 General's Mansion (1)
Seeing that it was almost an hour, Chu Xiaomu said goodbye to everyone and went to Mu Longguang's mansion.
Xiaoying also wanted to go with them, and Chu Xiaomu couldn't persuade her, so he had to agree.
Mu Longguang's General's Mansion is easy to find, just ask anyone and you will know where it is. When Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying arrived, it was already three quarters past midnight.
Mu Longguang's two deputy generals were actually waiting at the gate to greet him, which was beyond Chu Xiaomu's expectations.
When the two saw Chu Xiaomu leading the beautiful girl in yellow, they immediately smiled and said, "Brother Chu is really trustworthy. You said you would arrive within an hour, and now it's almost a quarter of an hour later, and you're here." As they spoke, they pulled Chu Xiaomu's hand.
Chu Xiaomu said: "Some small things delayed me, or I should have come earlier."
The two men helped Chu Xiaomu walk inside, and this time they were being too polite.
Xiaoying said, "Why are you two pulling him so tightly?" There was a hint of anger in her voice.
The two deputy generals laughed and said, "Brother Chu is quite capable. We two brothers admire him very much, so we want to get closer to him."
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself: "An hour ago you were scolding me and preparing to run away, how come you are a completely different person now..." Suddenly, strong energy penetrated his body between his ribs and rushed straight to his waist and rib joints.
It turned out that the two lieutenants were resentful of him for throwing them down and making them look bad in front of all the soldiers, so they wanted to take revenge on him. Taking the opportunity to meet him, each of them pressed his waist and ribs with a palm, wanting to make him look bad.
Chu Xiaomu immediately cursed himself for being stupid and falling into the trap of these two people. If it weren't for his powerful force, even if he was not injured at this time, he would have cried out in pain and made a fool of himself.
When the alien force from outside entered his body, the chaotic energy sea inside Chu Xiaomu's body reacted naturally, and immediately the two forces disappeared without a trace.
This made the two lieutenants at a loss. They urged out their Force continuously, but this guy remained calm and his Force was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing in an instant. And no matter how hard they tried, even if they used 80% or 90% of their Force, Chu Xiaomu still didn't notice it.
The two thought there was a problem on their side, but after looking at each other, they realized that the other person had the same problem.
Only then did I realize that my Force level was indeed much lower than that of this young man. As expected, there are always people who are better than you.
There were many houses and buildings in Mu Longguang's general's mansion. After walking around for a long time, he finally arrived at a hall where he met guests.
After a guard reported, Mu Longguang was summoned.
After entering the hall, I saw him standing in front of a large map made of fine sand in the hall, with his brows furrowed and his eyes looking down, as if he was thinking about something.
Chu Xiaomu respected him as a great general, so he bowed and said, "I am Chu Xiaomu from Bicheng, I meet General Mu."
Mu Longguang didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "You are a soldier from Bicheng, so you must have seen the Red Soldiers?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "Of course I have seen it."
Mu Longguang said: "Tell me, what do they look like?"
Chu Xiaomu then described the general appearance of the Claw and Hoof tribesmen he had seen. Although he had also seen the Eye and Tooth tribesmen, they were all freaks who had mastered the art of cultivating instruments, and he estimated that they were different from ordinary people, so he did not go into details.
Mu Longguang nodded and said, "People from the Claw Tribe and the Hoof Tribe occasionally appear in Baijun City, so I know everything you said. Tell me what I don't know."
Chu Xiaomu thought, there are so many things you don't know about the Chisha people. If I tell you everything, I'm afraid you will be shocked. After thinking for a while, he told the Claw Clan about their weapon cultivation techniques, saying that they all tempered their hands with the venom or poisonous blood of highly toxic creatures. The soldiers of the Claw Clan were called Thorns, and basically they all had a pair of claws that could fight against swords and knives. They were extremely powerful.
Mu Longguang said: "I have also heard about this. Wasn't Zhou Bo from your Bicheng Nanding Army injured by an assassin?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "Yes, that was the assassin leader who broke through the Humu Pass and entered the Bicheng territory a year ago. His name was Li Ji. The general said that his weapon cultivation technique had reached the intermediate level. I remember when he grabbed my iron sword, it instantly became as hot as fire. I had no choice but to withdraw my sword..."
When Xiaoying heard this, she picked up his right hand, looked at it, and said, "Brother Xiaomu, you...you are not hurt, right?" Her concern was evident in her expression.
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, “No one was injured. The man was not very powerful after falling into the water.”
Xiaoying was relieved then.
Mu Longguang finally raised his head and said, "You have fought with the leader of the assassins. Could it be that you captured Li Ji and brought him back to Bicheng?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "Not bad."
Mu Longguang was a little unconvinced and said, "Even Zhou Bo couldn't beat him, how can you beat him?" He stared at Chu Xiaomu's eyes with a tiger-like look.
The two lieutenants thought that they had misjudged us this time. This fellow named Chu could even beat the leader of the assassins. Naturally, the two of us were no match for him. Fortunately, he did not fight back, otherwise we would have lost face again.
Chu Xiaomu said, "I can't lie to the general. When I met Li Ji, he had been injured by our Yang Luoyang army, and he was very afraid of water. I captured him in the water."
Mu Longguang and his two deputy generals suddenly realized what was going on. They thought, so that's how it was. When the news came from Baijun City, almost everyone was talking about how a captain of a horse herding team in Bicheng managed to capture the leader of the Claw Clan of the Chisha Kingdom. It turned out that it was just luck. How could he have "captured" someone by force?
The two lieutenants immediately felt that this boy named Chu was nothing special. When they tested him with the Force just now, he must have been trying hard not to cry out in pain. So he was definitely not as capable as themselves.
Mu Longguang asked, "You said that the leader of the assassins is afraid of water. What's the reason?" There was a strange light in his eyes.
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "I heard that the Red Sand Country has a thousand miles of red land, and even drinking water is very difficult. They must have never seen rivers, lakes or seas, so it is normal that they can't swim."
Mu Longguang suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, saying repeatedly: "That's easy, that's easy..."
Chu Xiaomu was puzzled and asked, "General, what are you saying...what can be done?"
Mu Longguang said: "The Red Army has captured Bicheng. Now the army is divided into three routes. The first route is facing Bicheng and Biye on the west bank across the river. It is said that they are building warships. The second route is ready to go near Jieyun Pass between Bicheng and Jinyang City. The third route is blocked by the coalition forces of Bicheng and Yutuo City in the Lishan area on the west side of Yutuo City. However, there is internal discord in the Bronze Armor Army of Jinyang City. Jieyun Pass will be breached by the Red Army sooner or later. Yutuo City has too few soldiers and horses. Although it has temporarily joined forces with your Dongzhong Army, its military strength is still not strong. Moreover, there are no fortifications in the dangerous place they are guarding. As long as the Red Sand Country sends more troops, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated..."
