Chapter 130

Su Yu's face turned black abruptly, and he cursed in a low voice, "You woman is truly arrogant!"

Gu Yun pointed forward and smiled, "Wait and see."

Su Yu looked in the direction she pointed, but the scene before him made the words he wanted to say choke in his throat, "They..."

The soldiers who were just standing under the city wall were climbing up at an impossible speed, agile and nimble enough to be surprising. Those silver spears seemed to be stabbed in calculated positions! Dressed in pure black clothes, they were like geckos, walking on walls. Different from the lightness of martial arts, that was real climbing, which made it even more surprising!

And it wasn't just one or two people who could complete these actions. All seventy or eighty people under the city wall climbed up one after another, and counting the time, it took less than half a stick of incense.

Such exaggerated action and special techniques not only made the soldiers behind Su Yu stunned, but even the soldiers who were still trying to ram the city gate were stunned.

"What on earth are they doing?" Han Shu stared at the backyard for a long time, still not understanding!

A group of people held large shields and didn't resist when they encountered guards in the camp. They held thick shields to protect everyone inside and rushed toward the middle courtyard, only defending and not attacking!

After finally reaching the place where the backyard and the middle courtyard connected, which was also the place with the most guards, they finally gathered together and instantly split into two, then into four. Once attacked by guards, they immediately gathered together again, using shields to surround them. It was this strange splitting and merging that actually controlled many guards between the shields.

Su Ren and Han Shu found it stranger the more they watched. They could only temporarily hold back the guards in the backyard like this. What is this for?

The sound of blades clashing on the city tower called back Su Ren and Han Shu's attention. They had only watched the backyard for a while, so how could the city tower be attacked?

Su Ren's face finally changed, and he roared at a middle general beside him, "What's going on?"

Su Ren rarely changed his face, and the middle general immediately replied, "The black-clad soldiers used crossbows to stab spears on the city wall and climbed up with the spear poles. More than a hundred people used less than half a stick of incense, and our army couldn't react in time before they attacked."

Looking closely, there were indeed a few spear poles standing messily on the city wall. I don't know whether to be surprised or angry. Su Ren couldn't help but sigh, "They were actually able to rely on a few messy spear poles for support and quickly attack the city wall. The quality of the new recruits this time is really good!"

Han Shu shook his head and replied, "The quality of the new recruits is certainly good, but I admire the person who trained them even more. I have seen their dishevelment and chaos when climbing rock walls with my own eyes. Now that only ten days or so have passed, they have already achieved such achievements. The Madam is indeed a capable person!"

The city tower is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Su Ren sent three hundred elite soldiers to guard it, which was already more than enough, but he didn't expect more than a hundred people to attack, and there was another team ramming the city gate below, and fire arrows were still flying toward the city wall. For a time, the city tower was in a mess.

Without reinforcements, the city gate is probably going to be unable to be defended!

Su Ren and Han Shu looked back at the same time, looking at the guards who were still surrounded by large shields in the backyard, and finally understood Gu Yun's intention. Su Ren's face became darker and darker, but Han Shu laughed loudly, "Commander Su, the Madam's move seems to be more than just sounding the east and attacking the west; it should be called doing two things at once! Haha, your Shuangyang formation seems to be broken." Su Ren was truly clever but was mistaken by his own cleverness this time!

Su Ren shook his head with a wry smile, and at this time, several black-clad soldiers no longer fought on the city tower but rushed directly to the small room where the soldiers rested behind the city gate.

Pushing open the wooden door of the small room, they didn't have to spend effort to find it. A wooden box almost as tall as a person was placed on the table. The small general Liu Xing smiled happily, "Just as the Boss expected, the wooden box is really here!"

Just as he was about to pick up the wooden box, he felt a chill coming through the wooden box. Liu Xing asked curiously, "Huh, what is inside? So cold."

"It doesn't matter what's inside, hurry up and go. It only counts as winning if the wooden box is handed to the Boss!" Leng Xiao grabbed the tablecloth, wrapped the wooden box, tied it to his back, and rushed out first.

When they returned to the city tower again, the guards were all shocked. No one expected that after Leng Xiao got the wooden box, he would choose to go out from the city tower. Under the cover of Liu Xing and several others, Leng Xiao leaped down from the city tower. He knew martial arts, and his lightness skill was not bad, so the height of three zhang was not too difficult for him.

At the same time he leaped down, the soldiers lying in ambush on both sides shooting fire arrows finally appeared from the dark to cover his retreat.

Leng Xiao didn't dare to pause for a moment and rushed toward Gu Yun. Finally, he stood still in front of her. Leng Xiao hurriedly untied the wooden box and handed it to Gu Yun, "Boss, the wooden box is obtained!" He was too nervous running all the way just now, and only now did he find that his back was numb. What on earth is in the wooden box?

Gu Yun took the wooden box but didn't seem to feel very cold, standing the box upright on the ground. Gu Yun looked at Su Yu and smiled, "The game seems to be over."

The wooden box was handed to Gu Yun, and this competition was indeed over.

Su Ren and Han Shu had already come down from the high tower and walked out of the city gate. The three armies also lined up on the open ground outside the city, and at this time, the reddish morning light also pierced through the clouds, announcing the arrival of dawn.

Su Ren stood between Su Yu and Gu Yun, looked at Su Yu, and asked, "The winner has been decided. Third Brother, do you have anything to say?"

In front of all the generals, Su Yu was not obscure or embarrassed and said directly, "I am willing to bet and admit defeat. I have nothing to say."

Gu Yun smiled gently. This man, although reckless and arrogant, was also upright and not a person who sought fame and reputation. Her evaluation of him improved a bit more.

Thinking of the wooden box in her hand, Gu Yun handed it to Su Ren, "Return this to you."

Su Ren didn't take it, but smiled, "Since it is the spoils of war won, it already belongs to you."

Spoils of war? She had always felt Su Ren's eyes were very strange! Gu Yun gently stroked the box, and the cool breath made her think, "Ice Refining?"

Opening the wooden box, what was lying inside was indeed the snow-white, silver-shining Ice Refining.

Su Yu's face changed greatly, and he said urgently, "Second Brother! How can you decide without authorization?" This is the sword that only the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family can possess. How can Second Brother...

Su Ren interrupted him faintly, "It's not my decision, it's Ice Refining's own choice."

"Impossible..." Before Su Yu finished speaking, he saw with horror that Gu Yun was holding Ice Refining, gently stroking the blade with a smile, without being eroded by its cold at all! This—did Ice Refining really choose her?!

Gu Yun had always liked Ice Refining very much. After their hasty parting last time, she had missed it dearly. Thinking of its magic, Gu Yun couldn't help but take out Ice Refining and examine it again.

The moment the long sword was unsheathed, a clear sound rang out, and a cold light as bright as the moon and as cold as frost appeared. Except for Gu Yun, everyone within a zhang of Ice Refining felt the extreme cold.

Even if Su Yu wanted to say something, he could only swallow it! But for some reason, anger suddenly surged in his heart. He didn't know where it came from, but he was just unhappy, even more unhappy than losing this battle!

Gu Yun finally felt the strangeness of the crowd, sheathed Ice Refining, put it in the box, and intended to return it to Su Ren. Su Ren had already seen her intention and changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, you won this competition. You didn't set the bet last time. Now you can say what you want."

Bet? Right, she almost forgot about this. There was this competition, one because she was really bored, and two because she couldn't stand Su Yu's attitude of talking about women all the time. She just wanted to dampen his spirit, and now that the goal was achieved, she didn't seem to want anything special. Her eyes swept over those faces that were either disappointed, frustrated, excited, or expectant, and Gu Yun lifted her lips gently. She knew what she wanted.

Gu Yun stepped forward and said loudly, "The soldiers who participated in the night raid battle today are all very excellent. I hope they can stay in the General's Mansion and become the best soldiers together with the elite army of the Su Family Army."

As soon as Gu Yun finished speaking, there was silence below, especially those defeated new recruits, who stared at Gu Yun with wide eyes, fearing they had heard wrong!

Su Ren smiled, "Just this?" He had originally intended to keep these people. In this way, this favor became hers.

Gu Yun nodded persistently and replied, "Yes."

"Good."

Su Ren agreed. The first to come back to their senses were Leng Xiao and Ge Jingyun and the others. They shouted in unison, "Thank you, Boss!"

Gu Yun smiled, "This is what you deserve. Train well in the future, otherwise—"

"One thousand frog jumps!" The soldiers stood up and replied again.

Gu Yun was stunned and couldn't help but laugh or cry.

Su Ren saw the tacit understanding between Gu Yun and them, but it was not convenient to say anything now, so he just said loudly, "Today's competition ends here. From tomorrow, all the soldiers who participated in the battle tonight can stay in the General's Mansion and be incorporated into the Cavalry Battalion."

"Thank you, Commander!"

Gu Yun's eyes turned. The competition was over. She wanted to see Zhuo Qing, so she should do it early. If she fainted in front of so many people now, wouldn't the Su family invite a doctor for her?

With a plan in mind, Gu Yun closed her eyes and fell straight backward.

She had already prepared to fall, but just as she was about to fall, her waist tightened, and a pair of warm hands tightly wrapped around her sliding body.

"Qing Mo! What's wrong with you? Qing Mo! Wake up!"

Is it Su Yu?

I didn't expect his reaction to be quite fast, but unfortunately—she couldn't wake up.

"Boss!"

"Madam?"

"Quick, quick, quick, invite a doctor!"

Her fainting made a group of big men really mess up. Gu Yun was satisfied with this effect, closed her eyes, relaxed her body, and fainted magnificently.
