I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 201

Lu Guan watched the two northern barbarians dismount from their horses and salute them. He said to Sun Mi beside him, "These people can quickly identify our identities."

Sun Mi said: "Our Five Army Camps have always been well-dressed." The elite troops of the border army are no match for the Beijing Camp (i.e. the Five Army Camps) in front of Your Majesty.

The Wa people were also familiar with the civil and military official system and attire of the Great Zhou. They could judge the rank of officers and soldiers from the color of their helmets, collarbones, belts, back ornaments, and shoes. However, the lower-ranking soldiers of the Great Zhou did not wear boots, so they went directly to negotiate with Lu Guan, who was wearing boots.

Along with the two of them came several men dressed in the uniforms of the Great Zhou army. They did not know Lu Guan, but they could see that the dozen or so men led by Lu Guan were wearing double-breasted armor, which was obviously the equipment of the cavalry in the Beijing camp directly under the emperor.

He also recognized that the leader of the officers and soldiers in the battle was a centurion. The centurion ordered his men to gather the horse thieves who had dropped their weapons and rode towards Lu Guan.

However, something unexpected happened at this moment. Most of the surrendered bandits did not lay down their weapons as required, and at the moment when the government troops relaxed their vigilance, they suddenly sent a whistle to urge their horses to ride away.

His speed and strong riding skills made the government troops ashamed and angry, and some of them took the initiative to chase after him.

The captain didn't even have time to talk to Lu Guan. He immediately turned his horse around and led some of his men to chase after him.

Here, Lu Guan only said to the Waqi envoy and the accompanying officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou who were a few steps away: "Enter the pass along the original route."

Before he finished speaking, he and Sun Mi's gang had already galloped off to chase the horse thieves. The rest of the people quickly tied up the boss and those who had dropped their weapons.

Only the Waqi envoy and the leaders of several officers and soldiers who accompanied him asked, "Who is that young general?"

"I don't know. Let's proceed as planned and don't delay along the way." The leader of the officers and soldiers urged. He couldn't tell the identity of Lu Guan who was not wearing obvious military insignia.

The messenger asked again: "Should we go and help?

Judging from the riding horses of the dozens of riders who had just escaped, they seemed to have lived on the grassland since childhood.

In this regard, we Waqi people dare to claim to be the best.”

"No need." The leader of the officers and soldiers flatly refused. He glanced at the soldiers guarding the boss, and after confirming that they belonged to the outpost of the left camp of the Datong border army, he immediately mounted his horse.

The Waqi envoy had no choice but to retreat back to his own team and talk in a low voice with the envoy, and then continue on his way.

Unexpectedly, after they walked for more than ten miles, they saw a group of government soldiers guarding the bandits. Several of them looked very shabby in terms of clothing and hairstyle.

The envoys could not help but communicate in their native language, which caused the accompanying officers and soldiers who could not understand them to frown. They secretly decided to report to the general that the officers and soldiers under his command were incompetent and were not good at catching thieves, which was shameful.

However, Lu Guan didn't know about this episode. They were chasing the fleeing horse thieves at a very fast speed, and everyone was putting in their best efforts.

It was not until the horses were running so fast that they finally caught up with those people, and even the horses of the horse thieves could not bear it.

Because they were too close, Lu Guan and his men did not shoot arrows, but chose to charge again. However, they did not expect that this group of fugitives were more tenacious than the first one, and the two sides fought fiercely.

There were only about a hundred people, but they fought like a big war, and everyone suffered casualties.

Lu Guan recognized that these fugitives were all dressed like northern barbarians, and they were ruthless in killing their own people. Seeing that several soldiers were covered in blood, he used all his strength in every strike, intending to kill them all with one blow.

As for the subsequent interrogation, he doesn't remember it at all now.

Until Sun Mi came to his side, fighting with him back to back, and reminded him: "Fourth Master, these people are quite powerful, they were hiding their abilities just now, why don't you leave a few of them to chase them quietly?"

"Your people are chasing them." Lu Guansha immediately threw the blame on others.

……

In Yanghe City, Shen Changsui was already communicating with the defenders, preparing to implement official military control and conduct a thorough check of the people in the city.

Shen Xiaoye went to the inn with Taoist Master Hengxi to look for Taoist Master Qingxi and the others.

None of them thought that Lu Guan had already caught up with the person.

As soon as she appeared in the inn, the little black cat rolled its butt at her. Shen Xiaoye gave it candies one after another and said she would buy cheese for it before she coaxed it back.

The two sides sat down as host and guest, and after a brief conversation, Taoist Qingxi asked, "Shen Xiaoye, as you said before, do you think the Wu family's young daughter would be protected at the cost of her life, and that she could be safely evacuated?"

"What do you mean?" Something flashed through Shen Xiaoye's mind.

Taoist Qingxi laughed softly, "Haven't you figured it out to some extent?"

"Senior brother, stop being so mysterious. Assuming that everyone doesn't know you mean..." Taoist Master Hengxi was interrupted by his senior brother before he could finish his words. Both of them looked at Shen Xiaoye.

She asked cautiously but boldly: "The so-called young girl of the Wu family is actually a boy.

Once Liangzhou changes, and the news from the Wu family is cut off, he will have to leave to survive. If he wins, he can try to gain advantage, and if he loses, he can also turn to Dada. "

"Who knows if he will vote for Wa Li." Heng Xi said casually.

Taoist Qingxi glanced at him and said, "The two tribes are now at loggerheads. If they start fighting among themselves, there will be no need for the Great Zhou to send troops."

"No, if they only fight in two sides, it will be too easy for a powerful figure to emerge, which will be detrimental to our dynasty." Shen Xiaoye now understands why the emperor must lead the army in person.

If the Great Zhou eliminated some of the new forces of the Dada tribe, Waqi's determination to overwhelm Dada would become even stronger, and he would make the mistake of attacking Dada in a hurry.

Then, it will give Da Zhou a reason to help Dada fight them again, thereby eliminating more of the Northern Tartar's fresh forces, and if possible, it will be possible to form alliances among them and divide the small tribes into different parts.

She said, "I have to tell my uncle about this latest news."

She kept her word and said goodbye after picking up the little black cat.

Hengxi also stood up and said, "Brother, how about you live with us?"

“No, I may be able to see more clearly in the dark.

Shen Xiaoye, you probably don't need to take risks, but it will be too late to go back to Beijing after you arrive in Yanghe." Taoist Qingxi was considering how to persuade her to stay.

Shen Xiaoye nodded, "So, I have to discuss a countermeasure with my uncle.

We'd appreciate your presence here to help us."

"No problem." Taoist Qingxi watched them leave, then took a sip of tea and smiled. As things took a turn for the better, Shen Xiaoye would soon be leaving the border.

Shen Xiaoye, who left, always knew that Taoist Qingxi wanted her to go back to the grassland to find something.

She did not ask Taoist Hengxi any more questions. There was no point in saying more. It would be better to catch the missing little girl of the Wu family first and let her uncle get some credit.

So she walked very fast and almost bumped into two drunks accidentally.

Before she could say anything, the two drunkards were kicked to the ground one by one by Taoist Master Hengxi.

Shen Xiaoye was somewhat puzzled, and then he heard the little black cat transmit the message: "They want to bump into you and steal your money."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Master Hengxi took out an ivory plate from the two fake drunkards.
