Chapter 1061 Brothers Are Coming
Several soldiers rushed over and dug the snow there desperately.
Some people hurt their fingers from digging, but there was still snow under the snow.
There is no one at all.
Looking at the thickness of the snow, it is impossible that a soldier could be buried there.
But they all saw with their own eyes that a soldier was dragged down right in front of them.
Extremely fast.
General Qiu held up a torch and found a distance behind the ditch.
There was nothing but snow and weeds.
He held the torch high; there were only his own footprints here.
It is easy to see if there is snow on the ground, and whether there are any traces is obvious at a glance.
"General..."
The soldiers looked at him with fear in their eyes.
Because they stood there and saw that behind the general, there was only a set of his footprints, nothing else.
The soldiers who were digging the trench were exhausted and could not dig any further.
Nothing at all.
One of their companions disappeared in front of them mysteriously.
"General, is it really a ghost?"
The soldier's voice was trembling when he asked this question.
General Qiu's heart sank.
He doesn't believe it.
If it was a ghost, why would it be so mysterious here?
Just go into the city, who can stop you?
"General, it's too dangerous. Why don't you go back to the city and come back in the morning?" a soldier advised.
What would they do if something happened to the general here?
General Qiu's face was as gloomy as water. He walked back and looked at the place where the soldier had just disappeared. The place had been dug up in a mess, but the man was really gone.
At this time, the talisman on his body felt slightly hot again.
Miss Lu's talisman...
General Qiu gritted his teeth, turned around and mounted his horse.
"Back to the city!"
They rode back again.
But everyone's heart sank to the bottom.
Because one of their companions just disappeared.
Far away on the other side of Dead Horse Hill, the leader of the alien race was looking in this direction.
"Hey, why are they retreating again?"
The brother next to him also frowned, "It must be General Qiu who led the group out just now. Big brother, we should go back and capture General Qiu!"
Originally, they wanted to play tricks and didn't want to confront those generals head-on, but if it was the middle of the night and General Qiu went out of the city in person, it would be an opportunity.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. If General Qiu falls into their hands, what will they have to fear?
The leader said coldly, "Can you beat General Qiu?"
That's so easy to say.
If they hadn't run away, there might have been a fierce battle right now.
"What a pity," he sighed, "If he could have chased us to Dead Horse Hill, we would have had some chance of winning. Who knew he would turn back halfway."
They set a trap here at Simapo.
Moreover, this Dead Horse Hill is somewhat weird. It is said that if the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty come to Dead Horse Hill, something will happen to their horses.
So this place is not friendly to the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
Others said that there might have been a great war here in the past, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou killed many enemy soldiers here. The enemy soldiers who died here turned into resentful spirits. Once the soldiers of the Great Zhou came, these resentful spirits would want revenge.
However, the people from this ethnic minority came to Simapo without any harm.
"General Qiu is a coward." Others also began to mock.
If General Qiu dared to chase to Simapo, they would still respect him for his courage. However, who knew that General Qiu, like Lieutenant General Li and his men, did not dare to approach Simapo.
"We'll continue tomorrow night!"
The leader gave the order.
Since General Qiu has returned, he must not have found out anything. They can get closer tomorrow night.
They will send someone to investigate tomorrow during the day and have them bribe the insider to quietly open the city gate the day after tomorrow night. They will plan to charge in directly the day after tomorrow.
When General Qiu and his men returned to the city, Lieutenant General Li was startled when he saw that everyone looked a little strange.
What's going on?
General Qiu took out the amulet from his arms, opened the small sachet, and found that a small corner of the amulet inside was burnt.
His expression changed.
"Pen and ink!" He immediately asked someone to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
He had to write to Miss Lu as soon as possible to tell her what had happened here.
He still felt that those torches were man-made, but the experience he had just had made him feel that something was wrong.
That might be something different than those torches!
"General!"
Old Yu and his men hurried back.
Behind them, a blue-clad guard was riding a horse, leading another horse, with two soldiers lying on the horse's back, looking seriously injured.
It was already dawning.
General Qiu could tell at a glance that the blue-clothed guard was from the Prince of Jin's Mansion.
He had seen such a blue shirt before.
"General, these two men need to be interrogated thoroughly." The blue-clothed guard brought his men to them, stretched out his hands to pick up the two men and threw them to the ground.
His strength was so great that even General Qiu felt he was amazing.
Lao Yu explained the matter.
It turned out that these two people created chaos last night and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
Moreover, he was afraid that he would be discovered and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to hurt them.
Fortunately, there is this blue-clad guard.
General Qiu frowned, then looked at the blue-clad guards.
"Are you going back to Subei?"
"Exactly."
"This general has a letter here that needs to be delivered to Miss Lu as soon as possible..."
The blue-clad guard immediately said, "Then the general can give the letter to me, and I will present it to the princess in person."
The prince will never be able to touch this letter until the princess has finished reading it!
The blue-clad guard had an air of authority that convinced General Qiu, as if he was willing to risk his life to escort the letter.
This made General Qiu feel strange.
"Thank you for your help." He handed the letter to the blue-clad guard.
"I will definitely interrogate these two people thoroughly, but the matter written in the letter is very urgent..."
"I'll send the letter back to Subei City right away." The blue-clothed guard immediately mounted his horse and left.
He had another chance to appear before the princess, and maybe he could do things according to her orders again.
Aoki, brother, here I come!
At daybreak, the young men of the Qiu family returned to the Qiu family.
Although Mr. Qiu was busy all night, he was still very concerned about these young people and was waiting for them to come back.
Now that they had all returned, Mr. Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he saw them, he froze again.
Because all of these young men looked very disheveled, their clothes were dirty and torn, their hair was messy, and some of them even had faces like those of tabby cats.
"You guys didn't go wrestle with the disaster victims?"
Mr. Qiu couldn't help but take a breath and made such an absurd guess.
Although it's ridiculous, these young men were just patrolling the city, how could they end up like this?
"Uncle, what are you talking about?"
"Uncle, we are here to do serious business!"
The young men all shouted, then ignored him and ran towards the guest house.
"Stop, stop!" Mr. Qiu called out to them, "Why don't you go pack up? Why are you running to the guest house so early in the morning?"
