Chapter 450 Major General Luo Cheng
Since all the Xi people are dead," as they watched the surroundings get darker, Luo Wu couldn't help but urge, "Let's go back!" "Some dead people scared you?" Major General Luo Cheng said with a faint smile.
Luo Wu was not trapped by the major general. He was over forty years old and followed the general to guard the border for many years. He had seen many times more tragic situations than this. However, when the general left, he told him to stay and take good care of the major general, so he had to do his duty. [..com]
If he hadn't been able to resist the Major General, he wouldn't have brought him here this time.
"If you die, you will die." Luo Wu said disrespectfully: "There are always so many people who die in this area every day, so why bother with them?"
"But why did they die?" Major General Luo Cheng said: "There is always a reason why the Xi people and Turks died in front of our pass. Since my father asked me to stay, I must do my duty. If the Xi people are going to invade the border, we should prepare early." As he said this, Major General Luo Cheng's eyes were not afraid at all, but his heart was full of vague expectations. This time, my father led his troops to Linhai and took his eldest brother Luo Chun and the second brother Luo Song, but he refused to take him away and left him here.
Luo Cheng just passed the eighteenth year this year. He was a master of the Luo family's five-hooked God's Flying Spear, but his father still felt that he was not as good as his two brothers. This time he went to the east to fight against the Liaodong rebels, but he refused to bring him. This made him feel extremely depressed. Today, he heard the scouts outside the north entrance to find many bodies of Xi people, so he excitedly led a team of scouts to check.
Now that he hasn't seen anything, how can he be willing to go back?
Luo Wu, the hometown general, had known about the major general's Ren Xing for a long time. When he saw Luo Cheng was unwilling to go back, he sighed slightly. "From forward, there are already wilderness and mountains, and there are no people there. In recent years, most of the people living in the forests are from the Xi Kingdom. If we don't go back, we can't even eat hot rice tonight. Moreover, there are the most snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants in the forest at night, so I'm afraid the major general will not get used to it."
Major General Luo Cheng's Shi Guard was Luo Wei looking up at the dim forest. There was some arrogance like the master Luo Cheng. "General Luo Wu, can you still have your good fortune in the city waiting for you to go back?"
Luo Wei could see Luo Wu's tightly pursed lips and the suppressed anger.
Luo Wu has been with the master for more than 20 years, and all of the generals in the Luo family have ranked in the top rankings. However, Luo Wei did not buy it. He has followed the major general since he was a child, and at least he has been with everyone for 18 years.
However, Luo Wei followed the Major General, and although he was practicing martial arts together, he had never been to the battlefield, just like the Major General, he had been guarding the Great Wall in Desperate for only four years. Although he grew up in the border area, it was the first time he had run outside the pass like now. He was also a little nervous when he looked at this large dense forest.
Especially at this evening, the evening was even more different from the past, and there was a secret in the darkness of his hair standing. They left the north entrance in the morning and had been wandering around the old forest for a whole day. Along the way, they had found more than a dozen Xi people who had been destroyed. The more they walked north, the worsening, and now they had fallen to the bottom of the valley. A gust of wind blew the shadows of trees, like a ferocious living creature, Luo Wei felt that he was being monitored by an unknown person who had no good feelings for him all day long. Luo Cheng also felt it, but the two young people who came out for the first time did not express their feelings in their hearts, and only regarded it as the first time they came out of seclusion. Instead, they acted more casually on their faces, as if this would not be laughed at.
Major General Luo Cheng is the third son of Luo Yi, the general of Huben, Zhuo County, and the youngest.
He just turned 18 this year and is a handsome and elegant young man. He looks a bit different from his father and his two brothers. His two brothers are like his father, both have a tiger-back and bear-waisted waist, powerful and sturdy and big beards. But Luo Cheng inherited the bloodline of his graceful mother who was born in Jiangnan. He has a handsome face and handsome face, and is handsome. Moreover, because his mother asked her to accompany him since she was a child, Luo Cheng had a handsome appearance and a full family style.
At this time, he rode on his strong white war horse, much taller than Luo Wei and Luo Wu on the side. He was wearing white leather boots, white robe, white deer-skin gloves. Outside his white robe was a white light leather armor, and a glittering silver kirin bright light fish scale armor was covered with a glittering silver kirin bright light fish scale armor. Although this was the first Luo Cheng to lead his troops out of the pass, he was definitely not unprepared to come empty-handed, at least he had a lot of outfits.
Of course, the most dazzling outfit on Luo Cheng is naturally the thick and terrifyingly soft silver-white sieve cloak. This cloak alone can't buy a corner even if it's money for a lifetime.
Luo Wu called a scout in black leather armor: "Zhang Ergou, tell us again,
What did you find when you went to explore the way?" Two miles away, crossed the ridge, and was next to a stream." Zhang Ergou replied, "I am very close. There are eighteen people in total, both men and women, and three children. They are all lying on the chuáng in the wooden house, but everyone has no breath. After careful look, they find that their necks were broken, without any trace of trauma or blood." "Did there be no trace of fighting?"
"No," Zhang Ergou said without hesitation: "Everyone died in chuáng, and there was even one with a sleepy smile on his face."
"Did you see any weapons?" "A dozen knives, dozens of bows, and an axe, a large shield, and a pair of armor in a guy's wooden house. The iron-killed double-edged axe looked heavy and placed on the ground on his right hand. The armor was also good, it was a chain mail, and it was hung on the wall."
After listening to the scout's report, Luo Wu, who was in the border area of Jiuzhen, had already faced a deep face. He had heard the scout's report that many of the Xi people who ran into the forest outside the pass to fish and hunt and live in fishing and hunting were not caring. Anyway, they were all from Xi, and it didn't matter if they died. He knew that every year there were some small tribes on the grassland that would flee south to the border of the Sui Kingdom after the failure of fighting with other tribes. For example, the stretching forest outside the pass where they guarded was scattered and many Xi people were hiding.
Originally, when Luo Cheng was determined to come out of seclusion and inquire in person, he couldn't stand the major general's persuasion, so he took him out for a walk. According to his initial speculation, these dead Xi people must have encountered some original enemies in this forest or robbed each other, so they had a vendetta.
But now when he heard Zhang Ergou's report, Hua immediately became alert. A small settlement of eighteen people might be a big family. Moreover, this family not only has swords and bows, but also has armor, which means that their former honor was at least a soldier in Xi State and a very elite soldier. Otherwise, he would not have had a set of chain mail, or even a small officer.
But this group of people from Xi, who are quite strong in the dense forest, actually killed them silently in their sleep. What makes people even more strange is that after killing them, these people did not take away the weapons and armor that opened the way. If they kill people but do not take things, it is impossible to kill people plunder. If the killing method is so straightforward, the person who came must be very powerful.
Luo Wu turned around and looked at the 300 Hebei cavalry behind him. These were all elite veterans. But he didn't dare to say that he could kill these people so quietly by picking some people. An extremely uneasy feeling surged in his heart, and even his years of life in the border made him feel that he had been targeted by something.
"Major General, this time the matter is not simple. I feel that we can no longer move forward, so we should return to the pass immediately." Luo Wushen said nervously.
Luo Cheng's discomfort feeling was getting stronger and stronger at this time. This was the intuition of practicing martial arts for many years. When he saw the serious expression of his hometown general, he felt even more surprised: "Uncle Wu, do you know what happened before?" "I don't know yet, but I can guess some." Luo Wu said with a serious face: "From the death of these Xi people, these people were not dead from mutual robbery, but were likely to die in the hands of an elite army scout. And seeing that they killed people but did not take away food, property and weapons, then this scout was unlikely to be the leader of a tribe. The people of Xi have always lacked iron tools. With these excellent weapons and armor, they could not not take them away. The only thing that came was a scout of a strong army, and it is very likely that their army was behind. Only in this way can the performance of these scouts be passed."
Luo Cheng was shocked by Luo Wu's analysis, "Uncle Wu, don't scare me. This Xi State was a Turkish tribe in the past. But now it has become a country, not to mention the news we have received. Xi State is fighting with the Turkic xi tribe to death. How could a large army come? Would you make a mistake?" "I also hope I guessed it wrong." Luo Wu sighed, "Major General, no matter what, this place is already very dangerous, we must go back immediately. If those people find out, maybe it will be difficult for us three hundred people to go back."
A gust of cold wind rustled across the forest, and Luo Cheng's buckle trembled behind his back, as if there was life.
"It's not very right." Luo Wu murmured.
“Is there any?”
"Don't you feel it?" Luo Wu asked, "Listen to the sounds in the dark."
Luo Wei also felt that he had never been so scared since he was so old at the border. What was the cause of the problem?
"The sound of the wind, the rustling of leaves, and the screams of wolves." Luo Cheng turned over and dismounted with graceful movements.
