Chapter 710: The Liazi Have Arrived

"I don't want to live anymore!"

"Don't make us keep going! I beg you all!"

"My lords, just kill me! It's too terrifying!"

At this moment, the entire camp was filled with this kind of atmosphere. Early in the morning, three more had committed suicide!

"Move!"

"What are you dawdling for! With so many of us, even if the mountain ghosts come, we don't need to be afraid!"

"Everyone, get moving!"

Gu Guan and his men whipped their lashes through the air while threatening the others with their words.

The one hundred thousand prisoners could only continue on their way.

However, the progress today slowed down quite a bit. This was because Gu Guan took a group of men and collected every Stone Bean Orchid they saw along the road. This action, however, was extremely covert and did not attract the attention of others.

Night fell.

They set up camp once again.

The prisoners' emotions had stabilized for the time being.

Gu Guan was very particular about setting up camp this day, specifically looking for a place with a small hill to station them in sequence. Some people did not understand this, because this small hill was clearly the most dangerous spot, but at this time, as they ventured deeper, places where they could set up camp in the deep mountains were becoming fewer and fewer, and since it was already dark, they could only make do.

Gu Guan arranged for ten people to stay in the tent on this hill. These ten people were naturally the ones in the group who were noisy every day and greatly affected the emotions of others.

After they were fast asleep, he poured the juice of the Stone Bean Orchids prepared during the day into several buckets and then placed them covertly around the perimeter of the tent.

Such actions were carried out simultaneously around other tents as well.

This time.

None of the jailers slept.

The night grew deeper and deeper.

It was quiet enough to make one's heart palpitate.

Liu Zheng naturally did not sleep either.

What was unexpected was.

This night, it was surprisingly calm.

Nothing happened all night long.

It did, however, leave this group of people exhausted.

Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly; in this situation, he felt more and more that these so-called mountain ghosts were not ghosts! Nor were they savages! They were people with intelligence! Moreover, there must be someone behind them directing them; otherwise, how could they be so shrewd?

If one day doesn't work, then two days.

If two days don't work, then three days.

The main force continued to march on.

"Let me out!"

"You coward, if you have the guts, fight me for three hundred rounds!"

"A bunch of sissies!"

Pei Qianyun, locked in a cage, hadn't eaten for several days, yet he remained full of vigor, roaring incessantly.

Ji Yong had originally been sitting in a pavilion in the mountains drinking wine, but at this moment he turned his head and looked at Pei Qianyun with a chuckle: "General Pei, I respect you because you are the number one fierce general of Longyan; don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

As it turned out.

When Pei Qianyun was captured by him, he had recognized this number one fierce general of Longyan immediately!

However.

For a fierce general like Pei Qianyun who had courage but no strategy, he did not want to kill him.

Killing one Pei Qianyun would have no impact on the overall situation. So, why not keep him? Let him watch Liu Shilang fail in his hands! Let him watch Liu Shilang die miserably at Wangchuan!

If possible, it would be best if Pei Qianyun could be used for his own purposes!

Ji Yong's ambition was quite large.

He was a man in Liaodong with many ideas! He wanted to rely on Liaodong to counterattack Zhongyuan!

"Coward!"

"Sissy!"

Pei Qianyun was filled with rage, and his large physical movements caused the entire cage to shake along with him.

Ji Yong laughed heartily, a flash of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes: "General Pei, don't be impatient; the good show has only just begun..."

"Not to mention these one hundred thousand prisoners, even your master, Liu Shilang, I will devour him until not a single hair is left!"

"You..."

Pei Qianyun was so angry he spat blood.

Ji Yong laughed wildly, then suddenly stopped his laughter and said indifferently to the people beside him: "In three more days, you can tell those Liazi to let loose and go to work."

"Yes, General!"

"My lord..."

"The brothers can't hold on much longer... why don't we take shifts?"

For three days in a row, it had been calm.

Liu Zheng shook his head and gritted his teeth: "No, let the brothers take shifts to rest during the day! At night, everyone must be at their posts!"

"These are the most critical few days!"

"The opponent wants to play a war of attrition!"

Gu Guan nodded heavily: "Good!"

The mountain paths were becoming increasingly difficult to traverse. According to what Gu Guan had said, their progress had reached the stage where they were no longer following any paths. The journey was slowing down, which also gave the jailer brothers up ahead some free time to rest. Then, when they rested until the end of the formation, it could be considered a way to shake off some fatigue.

Many thorns needed to be cleared away.

Some paths were even impassable, forcing them to turn back and start over.

But with the Compass, the direction was basically never wrong.

Finally, the seventh day.

This night, Gu Guan and the others continued with the same routine. It was just that, as time passed, the Stone Bean Orchid they collected became more and more abundant, enough to be placed outside many of the tents.

Gu Guan and the others were still standing guard that day with dark circles under their eyes.

To tell the truth.

Continuous late-night guard duty had made them somewhat weary and mentally relaxed.

But seeing Liu Zheng had not rested at all these past few days and had been staying with them the whole time, no one in their hearts naturally had any complaints.

Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

The weather was getting colder and colder.

They began to drape the wild boar skins and bear skins they had hunted over the past few days over their bodies to keep warm.

"Hey, I have to say, Boss, this stuff is really quite warm!"

"Hahahaha, can you tear off a piece for me to take back to my wife later?"

The crowd burst into loud laughter.

Gu Guan also shook his head: "Is this thing something you can just tear off whenever you want? I hope we don't run into them; every time we encounter one, we lose a few brothers."

A few people were chatting and warming themselves by the fire.

Suddenly.

A brother was drinking when he looked up, feeling as if his eyes were a bit blurry.

What was that thing that just ran past?

He rubbed his eyes.

There was no movement over there anymore.

Was it because he hadn't slept well for days that his eyes were playing tricks on him?

He stared over there for a moment.

Still no movement.

He spat and cursed at what a hellish place this was.

Suddenly.

Another thing flashed past before his eyes.

Not right!

His expression changed drastically as he followed up: "They're here, they're here!"

Several people were instantly jolted into alertness.

The entire atmosphere became tense.

Gu Guan picked up his sword and slowly stood up.

The others did the same; at this moment, where could there be any sleepiness left?

What they were worried about was them not coming!

At this moment, sure enough, in the dark of night, several tall shadows suddenly appeared near the tent furthest from them.

"Ah!"

A scream tore through the entire night sky.

"Charge!"

Gu Guan roared!

Three hundred jailers lunged forward like madmen.

These ghostly things were giving them no face at all! Knowing there was an ambush, they still dared to come!
