The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

"It's not surprising that the Jin Kingdom has many ethnic minorities," said Gu Jianhong.

Duan Tianyang stared at him and asked, "Have the others caught it?"

Gu Jianhong shook his head slightly and replied, "Only a few bodies were left, the rest escaped. However, we successfully intercepted two people, and they should still be trapped in the mountain now."

"Let's go back and take a look." Duan Tianyang signaled to Gu Jianhong, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer, then turned around and returned to the Qinba tribe.

At this time, the fire in the granary was still burning and the soldiers were still trying to put out the fire.

Some soldiers, wearing wet quilts, bravely rushed into the fire, trying to save the food that had not been completely burned. The scene was filled with a strong smell of burning.

Seeing Duan Tianyang return, Zhang Tao and Zhu Wu, who were directing the troops next to the granary, quickly walked over, their faces blackened by the smoke and dust.

Zhu Wu panted and said, "Brother Tian, ​​we just rescued some food."

He pointed to the side, and Duan Tianyang looked and saw a pile of sacks, but most of them had been burned by fire, revealing the charred wheat inside.

Duan Tianyang walked forward, grabbed a handful, smelled it, and then threw it aside. The food was no longer edible.

After noticing his gloomy expression, Zhang Tao and Zhu Wu both lowered their heads and dared not breathe.

In the dead of night, the enemy managed to sneak up to the top of the mountain without making any noise, and the granary was destroyed. The two of them knew that they were to blame.

Duan Tianyang turned to look at Gu Jianhong and asked, "Brother Gu, are there two more people trapped on the mountain?"

Gu Jianhong responded to Duan Tianyang: "Sir, the two men should still be on the mountain, and the brothers are searching for them."

Before he finished speaking, a series of fierce fighting sounds suddenly broke out from a house in the distance.

Gu Jianhong was just about to go over to check it out when he heard a loud bang and a martial artist crashed through the wall of the wooden house and fell outside in a mess.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jianhong's subordinate Jiang Hua rushed out. He kicked the martial artist without hesitation, causing him to slide more than three meters away.

The martial artist fell to the ground in agony, and the surrounding soldiers quickly surrounded him, pinning him down with their spears.

Faced with such a dilemma, the martial artist roared and swung the black sword in his hand. A series of crisp sounds were heard, and the more than ten spears that were holding him were all cut off.

He struggled to get up from the ground with difficulty. Suddenly, a soldier approached quietly from behind and stabbed out with the spear in his hand.

The soldier's marksmanship was highly skilled, and his aim was directly at the gaps between the scales of the opponent's armor under his ribs.

puff!

The tip of the spear accurately pierced through the gap in the armor. The warrior screamed in pain and swung his sword backhand, instantly cutting off the soldier's spear.

Then he rushed towards the soldiers, brandishing his black sword.

However, before he could reach the soldier, Jiang Hua suddenly rushed out from the side and kicked the cultivator in the ribs, causing him to fall to the ground again.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers around him immediately surrounded and attacked, their spears raised, stabbing fiercely at the shoulders, ribs, joints and other weak points in the armor of the martial artist.

The armor in these areas is made of thin scales with gaps between the layers, allowing spears to penetrate easily.

The martial artist was stabbed by the spear and rolled on the ground in pain, with no one knowing where the black sword in his hand had gone.

Jiang Hua shouted at the soldiers to retreat, walked forward, stepped on the martial artist's chest, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, where are your accomplices now?"

The martial artist laughed wildly despite the unbearable pain, his voice full of cruelty and ridicule, "At your mother's place!"

He clenched his fist and smashed hard on Jiang Hua's knee.

Jiang Hua waved his hand, and a dazzling flash of lightning cut through the air. Then, half of his arm covered in blood flew in the air.

The cultivator's eyes went dark, and he almost fainted. He looked at his broken arm with trembling eyes, then stared at Jiang Hua with vicious eyes, and said with all his strength: "My Jin army will make you pay a heavy price!"

After saying this, he clenched his teeth, his body softened, his pupils rapidly dilated, and his face gradually turned purple and black.

Jiang Hua bent down to check, then raised his head and shouted in the direction of Gu Jianhong: "Sir, he is dead!"

Gu Jianhong frowned and reminded, "These enemies often have poisonous fangs in their mouths. After subduing them, remember to pull out their fangs first."

Duan Tianyang shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "These are Jin's death warriors. Even if we capture them alive, they will not reveal any information."

Gu Jianhong smiled coldly and responded: "As long as they fall into my hands, I have countless ways to make them speak!"

Duan Tianyang suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhu Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, there is an assassin's body at the door of my room. He is wearing our military uniform. Go check his identity."

"Yes, Brother Tian!" Zhu Wu responded, and then took several soldiers and quickly ran towards Duan Tianyang's residence.

After Zhu Wu left, Duan Tianyang stared at the granary that was still burning and said to Zhang Tao, "Old Zhang, tell the brothers not to try any harder. Even if the fire is put out, the grain can no longer be recovered, and this will waste our precious water resources."

Zhang Tao looked guilty and said in frustration: "Brother Tian, ​​I am to blame for the destruction of the granary. Please punish me."

Duan Tianyang patted his shoulder gently and consoled him: "The responsibility is not only on you, I also have a share."

Gu Jianhong had previously reminded him that the Shura team might arrive at the Qinba tribe ahead of time, but he did not pay enough attention to it.

He had never expected that the Shura team would be so bold that they would dare to go up the mountain and burn the granary with only a few people.

At this time, Gu Jianhong approached him and asked to talk in private. Duan Tianyang nodded in agreement, and the two walked aside.

Gu Jianhong lowered his voice and said, "Sir, this fire is a little unusual."

Duan Tianyang frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The fire spread extremely quickly and cannot be put out directly with water." Gu Jianhong explained solemnly.

Duan Tianyang thought for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that the enemy used kerosene?"

Gu Jianhong nodded: "Yes, and there are quite a few of them. They were able to pass through our three lines of defense silently. Although this is related to their cultivation, they should be lightly equipped. How could they carry so much kerosene?"

"Brother Gu means..."

"There must be spies on the mountain secretly supporting the enemy!" Gu Jianhong pointed out seriously: "Even the fire in the granary may not have been caused by the enemy, but by spies on the mountain who secretly set the fire."

Duan Tianyang was shocked after hearing this. Could it be that there were spies from the Jin Kingdom hiding among his side?

This is unbelievable...

He thought that there was no way that Zhang Tao was colluding with the Jin people, otherwise Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer would have informed him in advance.

As for the two thousand local troops led by Zhu Wu, they were all from the city troops of Xiguan City. They were the first group of brothers to follow him. The possibility of Jin spies appearing among them was also very low...
