Looking at Han Yun’s smile, the two disciples of the Qingyun Pavilion standing beside him looked at each other, and one couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what did you do to that person last night?”
Han Yun raised an eyebrow, but the smile on her lips deepened, becoming even more unfathomable. “It’s nothing much, just severed his extra limbs.”
At this, a bitter chuckle escaped him as he involuntarily recalled the gruesome sight of last night’s victim. “However… my methods for severing limbs… are not easily cured by ordinary physicians. This general is utterly ruined for life.”
“….”
Two of Qingyunge’s subordinates instantly pursed their lips, exchanged glances, and silently moved away from Han Yun two steps.
Having been by their master’s side for so many years, they naturally knew just how terrifying Han Yun’s lighthearted words, “It’s nothing more than severing his redundant hands and legs,” truly were.
They had seen it with their own eyes before.
“But then again,” one subordinate frowned, continuing, “Lord Master, how can you be sure that the man noticed the flaw we deliberately exposed when he’s so preoccupied right now?”
Another subordinate also nodded. What they did last night was to lure him in, now that their master has injured the man like this, will he still be able to notice the clues they deliberately gave?
Faced with their questioning, Han Yun curled her lips into a smile. “Rest assured, he will definitely notice. Now, he… wants to find me more than anyone else, wanting to dismember me into a thousand pieces. So naturally, he won’t miss any details.”
Last night he crept into the man’s tent, but it wasn’t just to break his arms and legs.
Instead, it’s about sending them some signals to get them to shift their attention elsewhere.
He already appeared last night. I believe that in a short time, this group of soldiers will follow the signals he gave and come quickly.
Thinking about this, Han Yun looked up at the sky. It was already bright. It was likely that King Beijang and his wife, as well as Feng Ming and the others, had set off again. He hoped that his plan to divert the attention of the Xi Zi Pan forces would succeed in holding them back.
Today, as long as we can hold off Xizi Pander’s soldiers, even if they later realize they are heading in the wrong direction and chase back, they should not be able to catch up with King Beijang and Feng Ming.
Thinking this way, Han Yun’s smile became more and more obvious. In a good mood, he turned around and walked away, “Let’s go, this group of grandsons will catch up soon. Be vigilant and don’t let anyone find out.”
The two subordinates of Qingyun Pavilion quickly replied, “Yes.”
……
As expected, Han Yun’s guess was right. The general, whose hands and legs had been severed, was filled with an unprecedented rage at this moment. The hatred in his heart made him bite his lip until it bled, his eyes bloodshot, as he licked the blood from his lips in a strange manner. A thirst for blood and carnage unlike anything he’d ever felt before consumed him.
“Looking at the people still standing here, he roared, “Find him! Find that man for me! I must find him, and I will kill him with my own hands. I will tear him limb from limb, crush his bones to dust!”
Those surrounding the young general were at a loss, unsure of what to do. They had no idea who had put him in this state.
At present, after the little general’s roar, they could only look at each other in dismay.
And this young general, seeing that no one moved after he finished speaking, the anger in his heart burned even more intensely. He immediately swept his gaze over them and roared again:
“What are you still standing there for? Don’t you go find him yet? What? Just because this general has been disgraced, you don’t have to listen to my orders anymore? Go! Find him for me!”
Who would dare defy his orders among those present?
Although this young general has been stripped of his title, the power behind his family and his father’s influence are not to be underestimated by anyone present.
But just like that, to have them go searching without a lead? How could they possibly find anything?
How to find? <<<
Who are we looking for?
They have no idea who turned the young general into this state, so how could they possibly find them?
They also want to find someone, but the problem is who to find?
So, after the little general finished shouting, no one dared to speak for a moment, all looking at each other in silence.
Seeing the general’s increasing anger, one of them could only grit his teeth and, risking being beheaded, threw himself to the ground, stammering out:
“The military order is absolute, we subordinates dare not disobey the general. But…but General, who are these people in the mountains? Where should we even begin to look for them?”
Hearing this, at first the young general wanted to fly into a rage and curse.
He didn’t know why, but suddenly he calmed down. Images of last night, which had made him feel like he was living hell, flashed through his mind.
To become this little general, it wasn’t entirely due to his family’s arrangements; he also had some real talent.
So, after calming down, he carefully thought over everything that had happened the previous night.
Close your bloodshot eyes right now and recall, from the moment you saw him, every single one of his actions and features.
Everyone in the tent held their breath, not daring to make a sound, and waited silently for him.
After a while, he opened his bloodshot eyes, as if ready to kill. Gritting his teeth, he spoke, “That man knew we were looking for the Princess of Beijang. It must have been someone from her side.”
And the scent of osmanthus on him, unless he lived near a large grove of osmanthus trees, it wouldn’t be so strong.
Then, he raised his eyes to scan the people in the tent. “There are only a few osmanthus trees in Xiliang country. Even if I turn this entire mountain upside down, I will find him and cut him into ten thousand pieces.”
Now that we have some concrete clues, everyone knows how to start looking.
Then, the young general described again the appearance of the man from last night.
Last night Han Yun wore a black veil, so this young general’s actual appearance is indescribable.
And everything that happened last night was too terrifying, because of the pain and fear, this young general didn’t even have time to see what those eyes looked like.
He only remembered that pair of eyes staring at him, enough to send shivers down his spine.
But he did see the man’s departing figure, so he described Han Yun’s back to those present.
Following these clues, the people present didn’t dare to delay and immediately made arrangements. They hurriedly led their troops to search the deep mountains where there were osmanthus trees.
……
Not only did the small general lead his cavalry into the mountains to find Han Yun and the others, but they also called upon several other contingents of troops to join them in their mountain pursuit.
They thought the person who hurt the young general last night was with the princess of Beijang. Since they mentioned the princess of Beijang, perhaps she is with that person.
So, as long as we find that person, we can find the Princess of Beijiang. Anyway, our goals are the same: we can avenge this young general and complete our Lord’s mission in one fell swoop.
