He Lian has a straightforward personality, and has never been able to play tricks and schemes. It is not at all surprising that Chen Shouke will turn against Chu Xiangtian.

Skipping this topic, Chu Xiangtian asked, "How many people are in Chen Shouke's close circle?"

"Nearly 300 people."

"Have the spies been found in the city?"

He Lian nodded, "There are already suspects."

Chu Xiangtian lightly tapped his fingers on his knees, "Grab them all, and your hands, check them out too."

The sheriff's mansion was completely surrounded, and Chen Shouke was able to send letters outside, and even arranged for people to rob and kill He Lian's messenger, it must be the work of an inner ghost.

He Lian was not stupid, he knew that he was being plotted against, if Chu Xiangtian hadn't come here in person this time, his hat of rebellion would not have been taken off so easily.

The two exchanged news, and then He Lian went back to look for the spies, and Chu Xiangtianming followed him into the city. After nightfall, he quietly left the city and led people to surround Zhenwu County from the outside. .

If He Lian starts to act, Chen Shouke and his people don't want to die, they must fight back and flee. Now there is no evidence of his collaborating with the enemy and treason, the best way is to force him to escape from Zhenwu County, and wait for him to meet with foreigners At that time, people took the stolen goods and got them together.

On the day of entering the city, Chu Xiangtian took people to the Sheriff's Mansion. Chen Shouke looked tortured and weeping bitterly, denouncing He Lian's enemy's treacherous ambitions, and told him to guard against finding out the truth and return him to the Sheriff's Office. The government was innocent, Chu Xiangtian responded with a few perfunctory sentences, and then led them away.

"My lord? Do we still have to wait?" the subordinates around him asked respectfully.

Chen Shouke's face was gloomy, "Don't wait, you go to contact that person and leave tonight."

He never thought that the person who came would be Chu Xiangtian. Even if he had never met him before, he had heard of Chu Xiangtian's name of killing the god. Letting Chu Xiangtian come showed that the court didn't believe him at all.

If they don't leave, they won't be able to leave until they find the evidence.

It was night, Chen Shouke quietly left from the side door of the Sheriff's Mansion under the escort of his subordinates, knocked on the side door three times, one long and two short, the guard outside understood and found a reason to lure his companion away, and then the side door was opened, Chen Shouke led the guards into the night.

Chu Xiangtian led his men to ambush on the only way to pass through Xisaiguan. Going forward here is Xisaiguan, which is the guarded place of the Zhenbei Army. Passing through this pass, you can enter the foreign territory.

Chen Shouke fled and exposed his identity completely. He must not stay in Dachu anymore. To save his life, he had to find a way to pass through Xisaiguan and escape back to other tribes.

After watching until the third watch, there was a faint sound of rustling in the dark night, everyone's spirits lifted, Chu Xiangtian made a gesture, and everyone hid deeper.

Chen Shouke was nearly forty years old, he was in the prime of life, and he was in good health because of his martial arts training. After escaping from the county guard's mansion, he didn't dare to ride a horse and make noise, so he abandoned the heavy things and only brought a small amount of gold and silver with him. The men ran all the way here.

The two cronies who followed him looked around for a while, then nodded to him, and then Chen Shouke relaxed a little, and opened his mouth to make a bird song.

The chirping of birds in the field in autumn is inconspicuous. After a while, a few black shadows leaped down from the distant mountains and quickly rushed to Chen Shouke. With the extremely weak moonlight, one could vaguely see the person with high nose and deep eyes, who looked like a foreigner. .

"grown ups,"

As soon as Chen Shouke waved his hand, he was about to leave with them.

Chu Xiangtian's eyes were gloomy, and with a slight wave of his hand, more than a dozen figures jumped out from everywhere they were hiding, surrounding them.

"It's even deeper, Master Chen, where are you going?" Chu Xiangtian slowly appeared, his voice was like a smile but not a smile.

Chen Shouke's heart sank, and he looked around, knowing that they had doubts for a long time, and it would be useless to talk more, so he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Get out."

Hei Ying drew out the scimitar from behind, and the two parties immediately fought together. Chu Xiangtian didn't join in, and they observed the situation together.

There were a lot of them, four foreign warriors plus Chen Shouke, but they were at a disadvantage after holding on for a while.Chu Xiangtian saw the right moment, narrowed his eyes, jumped into the battle, and quickly subdued Chen Shouke.

Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Chen Shouke seems to have a high status among the foreign tribes. After he was captured, the foreign warriors tried to counterattack and rescue him regardless of themselves, and they were all subdued soon.

With a quick movement, Chen Shouke's tendons and hamstrings were severed, and his jaw was removed. Chu Xiangtian threw the man who couldn't stand still to his subordinates, and said sharply, "Take him back for interrogation."

Several people rushed back to the city, and He Lian just happened to clear out the spies from the general. Chen Shouke had served as the county guard for many years, and he had always been in a watchful relationship with the Zhenbei Army. This gave Chen Shouke the opportunity to bribe the Zhenbei Army.

The three spies were tied up in the hall by Wuhuada. When the people who were trying to defend saw Chen Shouke being escorted in, they felt as if they were strangled by the throat, unable to utter a word of excuse and begging for mercy.

Chu Xiangtian said: "Let these people be handed over to me for trial. Chen Shouke's status among foreigners is not low. You go and sit in Xisaiguan to prevent troubles from foreigners."

He Lian quickly figured out the trick, and threw him to Chu Xiangtian, who then led them to Xisaiguan overnight.

If Chen Shouke's status is not low, the foreign race is likely to invade Xisaiguan in order to rescue him. If he rushes to Xisaiguan, the foreign tribe can ambush in the city and take the opportunity to save people-there must be foreign spies in the city.

Chen Shouke sneered and said inarticulately, "My people will come to save me."

"If you don't want Xisaiguan to fall, you'd better let me go back."

Chu Xiangtian gave him a disgusted look, stepped on his face with his riding boots, and his face was gloomy like Shura.Chen Shouke was from Chu, so one of his parents must be from Great Chu, but he claimed to be a foreigner, and after using his Han appearance to gain trust, he helped the foreigner to occupy the land of Great Chu.

Chu Xiangtian leaned over slightly, his eyes fell on his face like a knife, "Just because of that group of trash? I spare your life and let you see how those trash begged for mercy at my feet."

"Take them all down, Judgment!"

Chen Shouke, who was limp on the ground, was also dragged down for interrogation, and Chu Xiangtian sat in the hall waiting for the result.

The first to confess were the three traitors of the Zhenbei Army. They were young people who were bought by Chen Shouke with gold and silver. They didn't know much about it. Then came the four foreign warriors. They were more tolerant than the traitors of the Zhenbei Army. , It took an hour to recruit, Chu Xiangtian looked at the confession sent by his subordinates, and frowned.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shouke was still a character.

His biological mother was the Great Chu Song Ji, who was bought by a businessman, and was taken away by foreigners when she went out to do business with the caravan. The chief gave birth to a son.It was Chen Shouke.His foreign name is Muraguli, and he is the third son of the leader.

The leader of the foreign tribe had seven sons in total. He himself was over sixty years old, and although he was still in good health, the few sons fought fiercely. Chen Shouke was not popular among foreigners because of his appearance and blood from Chu people, but his mother was quite In order to be favored, there are also a group of diehards who have been in business for many years.That's why he took the risk and entered Dachu under the pseudonym Chen Shouke, and climbed all the way to the position of the county guard, intending to take down Zhenwu County without anyone noticing.

After he gained a firm foothold in Zhenwu County, he started his own plan. He originally wanted to gradually encroach on Zhenwu County, but he was accidentally smashed by He Lian, so he had to act ahead of time.

Chu Xiangtian frowned slightly, with a bloodthirsty smile on his lips, "Very well, leave Chen Shouke alive, after the questioning, I will take him to Xisaiguan, and wipe out all his clansmen."

At daylight, Chen Shouke finally couldn't stand the torture, so he recruited them all.

The foreign tribe is now divided into four tribes, and the four tribes will occasionally unite to attack the border of the Great Chu, and take the opportunity to burn, kill and loot, but most of the time, they guard against each other and even annex each other.

The Mula tribe that Chen Shouke's father belonged to was the largest and most valiant tribe. The leader, Lao Hou, and his sons were not inferior to him. While fighting, they were also trying to annex other tribes.

According to the information revealed by Chen Shouke, his second elder brother, Mulla Kili, is very cunning and good at fighting. He annexed the nearest Acha tribe by himself. If Chen Shouke can't make greater achievements, it will be difficult to compete with him, so he took the risk Plot Xisaiguan.

Chu Xiangtian frowned slightly, "I have fought against the Acha tribe before, but I didn't expect it to be annexed."

"This second child is more difficult to deal with than Chen Shouke."

The Acha tribe is not very big, but they are known for their fearlessness in fighting. This tribe is almost all men, and the women are either captives from other tribes, or women who were snatched from Dachu. They are raised together and given to Acha The men of the tribe vent their desires and give birth to children.

The men of the Acha tribe can kill with a knife at the age of five. It can be said that they are a very difficult tribe.

Unexpectedly, it has now been annexed by the Mulla tribe.

"Yang Dashi led 500 people to stay in Zhenwu County, and the others followed me to Xisaiguan." The remaining 500 people had also rushed to Zhenwu County, and Chu Xiangtian took his men and galloped to Xisaiguan and go.

Xisaiguan was exactly as Chu Xiangtian expected, Chen Shouke's men led troops to confront He Lian, and the battle was imminent.

He Lian's injury was still not healed, and in order to boost morale he went into battle with his injury, if Chu Xiangtian came a little later, the two sides would have already started fighting.

Chu Xiangtian replaced He Lian and temporarily took over the Zhenbei Army.

The name of the God of War was also spread in the Zhenbei Army. As soon as he appeared, the morale immediately increased, and the shouts of the soldiers echoed in the mountain road.

Chu Xiangtian walked to the front with his horse's belly between his legs, and the corner of his mouth twitched viciously, causing someone to hang the dying Chen Shouke on the flagpole.

Chen Shouke, who was tortured like a blood man, was hung on the flagpole, and dripping blood dripped into the soil, adding to the chill.

"kill!"

Chu Xiangtian gave an order, swung his spear and rushed into the enemy army first, facing the enemy general.

The shadows of swords and swords, the neighing of horses, and the wind and sand in the northwest mixed with the sound of fighting soldiers, quickly marked the end of this battle.

With one shot, the enemy general was cut off from the horse, and the head of the opponent was lifted on the point of the spear. Chu Xiangtian raised his arms and shouted, "Kill! No one will be left behind!"

Da Chu's morale was even stronger, and he rushed towards the timid foreign race, and quickly beheaded every one of the opponent's troops.

Chen Shouke, who was hanging on the flagpole, was about to burst into tears. Below were all his personal soldiers, all his family fortune accumulated over the years, now it's over, it's all over.

Chu Xiangtian lowered the man from the flagpole, and Chen Shouke lay on his stomach in the mud mixed with blood and sweat, his heart ashamed.

"This is the brave clansman you mentioned." Chu Xiangtian stabbed him in the chest and ended his life, "I'm defeated."

Throwing Chen Shouke's body into the mountain of corpses, Chu Xiangtian asked people to drag the corpses to a distance and pile them up together, and set them all on fire.

He Lian looked at his gloomy face and rubbed his arms subconsciously. No matter how many times he had seen it, he still felt that Chu Xiangtian was very permeable on the battlefield, never leaving any kindness or room for the enemy, just like hell Asura.

It's no wonder that foreigners were frightened when they saw him, and their morale was half lost.

After dealing with the battlefield, Chu Xiangtian said to He Lian: "Take care of the spies in the city yourself. Also, according to the news from Chen Shouke, the Mulla tribe intends to annex other tribes. The strength of the old leader's second son should not be underestimated. If they are really united, It will be a strong enemy, so be careful."

He Lian cupped his hands to thank him, and then asked him when he would return to Qingyang.

Chu Xiangtian raised his gun and mounted his horse, leaving only his back and a faint lingering voice, "Tomorrow morning."

When he came here he was faster than when he went back, Chu Xiangtian took the confessions of Chen Shouke and the others and rushed back to Qingyang. He didn't even have time to unload his armor, so he went to the palace to report.

After listening to Chu Fengyuan, like Chu Xiangtian, the focus was also on the second child of the Mulla tribe. The reason why the border has been so peaceful in recent years is not because the ambitions of the foreign tribes have become smaller, but because they are in the midst of division. Each tribe operates independently.

In the years when Da Chu had the most frequent wars with foreign tribes, it was because the foreign tribes had a unified leader at that time.

He integrated the scattered tribes and gathered all his forces to fight against the Great Chu, intending to occupy the territory of the Great Chu. Chu Xiangtian became famous in one battle when he was young because he went deep into the enemy camp alone and took the leader's head.

The leader died, and several generals under him went their own way and fought with each other. Da Chu took this opportunity to completely disperse the foreigners.The original unified foreign race was scattered into several tribes, and no one could unite them afterwards.

Only then did Da Chu find his stability later on.

But if what Chen Shouke said is true, then Mulla Kili may have a unified ambition. What is even more alarming is that Mulla Kili's ability does not seem to be underestimated. If he succeeds as the leader of the Mulla tribe, it is very likely that Trying to annex the remaining tribes, once he succeeds in annexing, then the next step is Da Chu.

They must take precautions early on.

Chu Fengyuan said: "You send a message to the border gates, so that they always pay attention to the movements of the foreign races."

Chu Xiangtian nodded, "There is He Lian in the Zhenbei Army, don't worry about it for the time being, Beiling Pass and Beiyu Pass are both people brought out by me, and they can be alone, but Shanyu Pass in the northeast is weak, and the leader of the army is Zhang Yi. Xing is too aggressive and arrogant, and there may be problems."

Chu Fengyuan was also helpless, "I can't find anyone to replace him for the time being."

The two discussed for a while, and they also felt that they could only strengthen precautions at present. If the drought spreads, the disaster relief would be overwhelmed, and it would be too laborious and costly to send troops to attack foreigners.

After talking about the business, Chu Xiangtian couldn't wait to leave the palace.

Chu Fengyuan teased him, "Are you thinking about this before you get married?"

Chu Xiangtianxin said that you are married and stay together every day, so of course you don't miss it, and I will go to fight as soon as I eat it, of course I have to miss it.

Leaving a cold back for his elder brother, Chu Xiangtian rushed to the waiting mansion without stopping after leaving the palace.

Fu Huang had heard the news that Chu Xiangtian had brought his troops back early in the morning. Although he knew that he must enter the palace, he still couldn't help but stare at the door.

When he finally looked forward to the return of the figure he had been thinking about day and night, he was stunned for a moment, and stood still, staring fixedly at the returning person with his eyes wide open.

Chu Xiangtian hooked his lips and opened his arms towards him.

"I am back."
