"Hidden weapon?"
This woman is quite vicious, resorting to deadly attacks at the slightest disagreement...
Yun Siman frowned deeply, executing a somersault to evade the projectile, then dashed to Han Chijiao's front, engaging her in combat.
Though Han Chijiao fought bravely, she was, after all, a woman, and her stamina and energy couldn't match Yun Siman's.
After a few rounds, Han Chijiao repeatedly missed her opportunities, becoming dizzy from Yun Siman's swift movements like a gale...
"Ugh, I... I feel like throwing up!~" Han Chijiao crouched over, feeling unwell in her stomach.
Yun Siman chuckled, "You can throw up after you wake up!~"
With that, he struck Han Chijiao's neck. She let out a muffled groan and slumped to the ground like a noodle...
"Hmph, if I can't catch your father, I'll make do with you!~" Yun Siman hoisted Han Chijiao onto his shoulder and then swaggered towards the Liang army camp.
Before returning to the capital, he still needed to meet the Great General of Jingbei, as Gu Mingyan had instructed him to ascertain the situation on the northern frontier to plan the next strategy...
At noon the following day, Yun Siman finally arrived at Gu Zhenshan's camp.
Unfortunately, Gu Zhenshan had taken his subordinates out to scout enemy intelligence and had not yet returned.
The soldiers remained stationed there, holding their positions, continuing their drills and patrols as usual...
Kong Xingzhuo had stayed there for a night, sleeping soundly and feeling his body's aches disappear.
After breakfast, he intended to go to the central military tent to find Gu Zhenshan, but he saw a familiar figure approaching.
This person carried a sack on his shoulder, wore a black iron mask, and walked with a swagger, exuding arrogance...
Kong Xingzhuo rubbed his eyes and rushed forward with a "Ha!" "Yun Laosi, is that you?"
Yun Siman: "......"
He was startled and turned to see Kong Xingzhuo standing behind him with his hands on his hips, a mischievous smile on his face.
Yun Siman blinked, "Young Master Kong?"
Good heavens, why had he come to the northern frontier instead of staying with His Highness the Crown Prince?
Kong Xingzhuo glanced at the sack on his shoulder and asked indifferently, "Yun Laosi, isn't that a person you're carrying in that sack? What have you been up to?"
Yun Siman grunted, "That's right, not just a person, but a woman!~"
The reason he had stuffed Han Chijiao into the sack was to prevent too many soldiers from seeing her...
After all, the military camp was full of rough men, and the consequences of them suddenly seeing a beautiful young woman would be unimaginable.
Kong Xingzhuo: "......"
Had this fellow traveled all the way to the northern frontier just to capture a woman?
Hadn't he reconciled with Princess Xinling? Was he trying to play both sides?
"I'm here to see the Great General of Jingbei, is he in?" Yun Siman said, shifting the sack with Han Chijiao to his other shoulder.
This woman was as heavy as a dead pig, and his arms and legs were sore from carrying her all this way...
Kong Xingzhuo spread his hands, "To be honest, I'm also here to see General Gu, but he's not here!~"
He hadn't even read the Emperor's imperial decree yet and had slept soundly.
Yun Siman narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, "What are you doing here? Is there something you need from the Great General of Jingbei?"
He still didn't know that Gu Zhenshan was his uncle, nor that his second and third brothers had been conscripted as laborers...
Kong Xingzhuo was slightly taken aback and stepped forward, "Yun Laosi, don't tell me you don't know there's trouble at your home?"
"How would I know? What happened, tell me quickly, don't play coy with me!~" Yun Siman lost his patience.
Kong Xingzhuo sighed, "Erman and Sanman have been captured and brought to the northern frontier. Your sister even went to the imperial palace to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for help to save them..."
"What, what are you talking about?" Yun Siman heard this and immediately dropped Han Chijiao to the ground, his face filled with distress, "Where are my second and third brothers? I'll go save them now!~"
Han Chijiao in the sack cried out, "Ouch!" After being jostled all night, she felt like she was falling apart.
Being thrown like this again, her forehead bumped and swelled into a large lump...
Kong Xingzhuo said, "They're in some camp. It won't be hard to find them. Just ask which military camp has new soldiers, and a little inquiry will tell you!~"
Yun Siman was a sharp person; even without Kong Xingzhuo's reminder, he could find his second and third brothers.
"I'm leaving, we'll meet again!~" Yun Siman didn't have time to think too much. After speaking, he walked towards the outside of the camp.
The safety of his family was more important than anything else. If he didn't help them, his second and third brothers would be completely finished...
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go!" Kong Xingzhuo quickly grabbed him and pointed at the large sack on the ground, "If you leave, what about her?"
Did he expect him to help take care of her? Kong Xingzhuo didn't have that kind of leisure time.
"Young Master Kong, please help me look after her for now!~" Yun Siman patted Kong Xingzhuo's shoulder and leaned in, lowering his voice, "This is the daughter of Han Chike Khan. You'd best take her to the capital as soon as possible and hand her over to Marquis Gu. This matter cannot be delayed!~"
Kong Xingzhuo: "......"
Well, he hadn't even finished his own business yet, and he'd already gotten into such a big mess.
"Why did you capture her?" Kong Xingzhuo asked, puzzled.
"Oh, stop asking. This matter concerns the entire northern frontier war situation. If you want to be promoted and gain titles, do as I say and don't dawdle!~"
With that, Yun Siman broke free from Kong Xingzhuo's grasp, turned around, "Just a reminder, this woman has a bad temper. I've been scratched several times along the way. Good luck to yourself!~"
Kong Xingzhuo: "......"
Was that even human language?
He thought he could sit down and have a good chat with an old acquaintance in a foreign land, but who knew this Yun Laosi was such a troublemaker.
"Yun Laosi!~" Kong Xingzhuo chased after him, "Let me tell you, I'm also here in the northern frontier to rescue Erman and Sanman. His Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor have ordered that they must be safely escorted back to Dashui Village. If you interfere now, how will I explain it to His Highness the Crown Prince when I return?"
If His Highness the Crown Prince asked him if he had sent Erman and Sanman back to Dashui Village, he couldn't possibly say that he returned to the capital without even seeing the people...
Given the Crown Prince's temper, it wouldn't be strange if he didn't crack his head open.
Yun Siman clenched his fists, "With me, their own brother, here, do you think you're needed to save them? Goodbye, I'll treat you to drinks when we get back to Dashui Village!~"
After speaking, Yun Siman stepped directly over the sack, rushed out of the camp, and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Kong Xingzhuo: "???"
This damned fellow, he looked decent, but he didn't do decent things.
Just then, the sack on the ground suddenly wriggled, and then, a sharp string of curses suddenly rang out...
