Chapter 3: Ice and Snow Cleansing Smart

The woman in white said very simply: "It is not normal for Luo Qing to escape here. The information you sent to us before will be explained in detail. The Tang army guerrillas here just discovered that someone in the caravan was thrown into the grass before dying. Soon after, Luo Qing, who was like nothing in the pass, suddenly began to flee. At that time, the official documents of the pursuit had not been sent to the public."
"Yes, this is a problem." Gu Liubai couldn't help but smile and said, "There must be high-level military officials involved. The military has almost never given me any clues about this caravan. I sent a message before, wanting to know who Luo Qing is in the border army and who have had close contact with him in the past two or three years, but so far, the border army has not provided me with any useful information except for some nonsense."
The woman in white was not upset, but just said calmly: "What other problems are there?"
"The military didn't even tell me what goods were escorted by the caravan." Gu Liubai curled his smile and said seriously: "It is normal for the border troops of the Tang Dynasty to push some people out to make money. After all, most people think that hardship cannot be eaten in vain, but what kind of business should be done to accumulate friendships that allow foreign tribes to rush to rescue hundreds of miles away? What's more, he has been exposed. Logically speaking, he doesn't have much value to save. Killing him and pushing another person out is a normal way to deal with it."
The woman in white nodded and said, "Is there any?"
Gu Liubai saw that she didn't look angry, so he felt relieved and said, "Yes, for example, the military will not let you meet me in advance..."
"We deliberately didn't meet you in advance." The woman in white suddenly interrupted him.
Gu Liubai was stunned, "Did you do it on purpose?"
The woman in white nodded and said, "Isn't it because the information you gave us makes people feel that there is something wrong with the senior leaders of the border army at a glance? You are all border soldiers, so we have to be careful."
"I'm going to put this pot on my head?" Gu Liubai was confused. "I'll tell you the information, and then you think I have a problem. Then you went outside the pass half a month ago and kept hiding whereabouts and not contacting me?"
The woman in white said stubbornly: "The border troops of the Tang Dynasty only recognize military orders but not friendship."
Gu Liubai said with a tight chest: "Liang Fengning is a border army who is in the 28th season, but I am not."
The woman in white said, "We didn't know before."
"Forget it, you won." Gu Liubai said verbally that the woman won, but he became more and more competitive and said, "I have a problem asking you to intercept Luo Qing and the person who killed Luo Qing separately. There are also people in Lucaoyi who informed Luo Qing, which is even more problematic."
The woman in white thought for a while and said honestly: "Isn't the news from Lucaoyi the same as the news from the border army?"
Gu Liubai deliberately showed off: "Lucaoyi itself is abnormal. The Tang Dynasty military has no ability to establish a fortress in that place. So its appearance is to convey military information more quickly? I handle the military information here. Its appearance is not good for me, so it needs to do something. Moreover, I have found out that the people guarding Lucaoyi are now transferred directly from Guanzhong. They are not in the same way as the border troops here. How could they have something to do with Luo Qing?"
The woman in white understood, "It's not bad, it's a big problem."
Gu Liubai became more and more proud and said, "So I'm so cautious and first find out who is the one who responds to him. I'll tell you, don't do it first..."
"I've already taken action." The woman in white said: "I guess those who came to pick up Luo Qing are dead now."
Gu Liubai was stunned, "No, didn't you say that you had to take action after being thirsty for the thorns?"
He immediately reacted and said speechlessly: "It is because you have also kept a clear mind. Through the military information I gave you, I think I might have problems, so I started to do it in advance?"
The woman in white probably felt a little embarrassed because of this logic.
But he seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "We will go back to Yinshan after killing people. It's very clean. What are the benefits of doing these extraneous things?"
"It's not that the benefits are not good, it's that I have to save my life." Gu Liubai patted his forehead and smiled speechlessly. "I'm frank, let's ask you to do this, although you are reliable in doing things and never fails. The border army can't find someone stronger than you, but in my opinion, the most important thing is that you are not the border army, and you have nothing to do with the top leaders of the border army. Even if you discover any shocking conspiracy, there is no way to stab it. What I am worried about now is that you will be destroyed with you."
The woman in white was very stubborn, "Who can destroy our mouths?"
"Yes, yes, you are amazing..." Gu Liubai said bitterly: "Don't leave me alone if you have any problems at that time."
The woman in white suddenly had her eyes lit up, "I found a problem."
Gu Liubai asked, "What's the question?"
The woman in white said, "I have not notified you of the place where Luo Qing was killed. How do you know we will do it here?"
"It's because you have this kind of quirk!" Gu Liubai glanced at Luo Qing, who had died speechlessly, and said, "I have read all your files, such as cases of assassination of a single person. Among the ten people you killed, at least eight of them were shot in the back, and they were shot in high places against the wind, and were shot in the back, and then died of sword injuries."
"I have never seen a great sword master like you. He would die if he stabbed him casually, but he still had to mess with these things."
Gu Liubai said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that you were so fun. In short, the only place on the road that Luo Qing walked on was in line with your quirks."
The woman in white was stunned, "Why can you see those files?"
Gu Liubai said proudly: "After so many years of military pay, it is still okay to buy some people."
The hunchbacked old woman on the hillside finally approached.
She was wearing a thick burqa, with a gravel-colored robe, wrinkles on her face, and a very kind face. She didn't have the momentum of a powerful person at all. She looked like she was no different from those old women who came back from chopping wood in the mountains. She smiled at him when she looked at him.
She looks very old, but her teeth are neat and white and dense.
The thing she was carrying was very conspicuous, a large bow, which was at least half longer than the common bow. She also carried a very worn deer-skin arrow pouch, which was bulging and should have arrows inside, but the feathers were not exposed, as if a large bundle of dry firewood was stuffed inside.
Seeing her smiling at her, Gu Liubai immediately bowed seriously and bowed back.
The woman in white looked at him showing her serious salute and became weird.
In such a chaotic area outside the pass where the Tang Dynasty could not control, it was unknown how much it took to convey useful military information in a timely manner. In the past few years, the information Liang Fengning passed to them was timely and accurate, so although they had never met, they felt that they owe Liang Fengning.
But those things were not done by Liang Fengning, but by this young man?
Moreover, this young man didn't look like he grew up in a barbaric land outside the pass.
The more I feel that he doesn't seem to be lying, the more outrageous he feels.
"Don't I really need my help bury him?"
Gu Liubai was caring about his rules again at this time. He looked at the gentle and smiling old woman with concern and said seriously: "I am very familiar with this kind of thing. When you search his body later, you can ask me to bury him after everything is done."
The old woman still looked at him kindly, neither saying yes nor saying no.
When he wanted to say something else, the voice of the woman in white was transmitted into his ears through the wind and snow, "Luang Po was deaf and dumb, and could not talk to you."
Gu Liubai looked dull now.
In the snow, the old woman who could hit Luo Qing with one arrow was deaf and dumb. How could she communicate with her when she was at the right time? It was just a tacit understanding?
After a breath, he looked at the woman in white again and couldn't help but say angrily: "Even if she is deaf and dumb, you just call her deaf woman like that. Are you polite?"
The woman in white glanced at him, "It's not a deaf deaf person. Her surname is Dashui who rushed to the Dragon King Temple. As for Luang Po's specific name, we don't know."
Gu Liubai was immediately embarrassed and smiled and changed the topic: "You guys are quite strange. You don't even know your own names. You are also called Yinshan, like a cave of ghosts, like a pot of sand. Those who don't know think they are some insignificant little characters when they hear this name."
"How great is a small character, you won't be missed." The woman in white said this lightly, and then asked calmly: "Is there no name on the military file?"
"No." Gu Liubai shook his head, "Among all the secret stakes, spying, and thieves, you are very special. You do not belong to the border army, you only receive rewards but not military pay. The military only confirms that there are no less than six of you, and even a few of you have no conclusion."
The woman in white said calmly: "So even if we die, no one knows our name."
Gu Liubai subconsciously said: "No, if you want, of course you can tell others your names. And what you have done, remember it carefully in the military file and will not be forgotten."
The woman in white didn't say anything, just glanced at him.
Although it was separated by wind and snow and hat gauntlet, this glance made Gu Liubai realize that what she said was not the same as what she thought.
"Aren't you awesome, aren't you afraid of killing someone to silence?" Gu Liubai frowned and said, "It's really worrying to think about this, but..."
"Just what?" The woman in white felt that Gu Liubai was not happy enough.
"I just think the military's handling this way is a bit too simple and crude, and the methods are not particularly sophisticated." Gu Liubai thought carefully: "You are much harder than Luo Qing to deal with. If you are involved, it is like filling a pit and digging a pit for yourself."
The woman in white seemed to think his judgment was very reasonable and pondered: "Do you suspect it is not the method of the senior leaders of the border army?"
"Yes." Gu Liubai said: "Although those old foxes are usually very domineering, they are passionate and guarded here for most of their lives. They have a bottom line in doing things, especially not losing out on the group of people who are really fighting on the front line. There are some young and powerful people who don't care much about doing things."
"Yes." The woman in white said, "I'm right, keep talking."
Gu Liubai glanced at her and said, "The old fox in the military will never make mistakes about your strength. I am afraid that some people know you are powerful, but they don't know how powerful you are. They are deceived by your name in the mountains."
The woman in white said seriously: "Then it seems that this kind of name is indeed useful."
Gu Liubai: "??"
Are you all the same idea?
