Chapter 173

But facing Gu Yi's gaze, when the words reached his lips, he didn't dare to say them.

Zhang Xiu beside him also didn't dare to make a sound at this moment, his eyes constantly dodging.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yi had a rough guess in his heart.

Han Sui should have died from Cheng Gongying's backstab.

And Cheng Gongying intended to use Han Sui's head as an exchange to let Zhang Xiu save his life and take the opportunity to use it as a stepping stone for promotion.

Gu Yi naturally wouldn't choose to fuss too much over such a small matter.

Who killed Han Sui, the process is not important.

What's important is that Han Sui is already dead, isn't he?

Taking the opportunity to sell a favor to the uncle and nephew Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu is not bad either.

Therefore,

Gu Yi smiled slightly and said:

"Han Sui died at the hands of Zhang Xiu!"

"Cheng Gongying abandoned darkness for light and defected at a critical moment, also having military merit!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu and Cheng Gongying were full of gratitude toward Gu Yi.

Especially Zhang Xiu.

His uncle Zhang Ji already had a good relationship with Gu Yi.

On this journey, Zhang Xiu himself and Gu Yi also chatted quite congenially.

Based on Zhang Xiu's understanding of Gu Yi, he didn't believe Gu Yi hadn't seen through the truth of Han Sui's death.

But even while seeing through the truth, Gu Yi was still willing to give him this credit.

It really made Zhang Xiu extremely grateful.

"Alright, everyone."

"Since Han Sui has been executed, then all follow me to regroup with General Xu Rong."

Gu Yi waved his hand, and everyone hurriedly followed.

After Han Sui was killed, the armies of the Qiang and Di tribes he hired also mostly died at the hands of the Flying Bear Army and the Fufeng garrison led by Xu Rong.

At this moment, the battlefield was full of incomplete corpses and blood clots that were gradually solidifying.

The early morning sun shone over.

Fufeng City, where Xu Rong and the others had fought bloody battles for many days, finally welcomed liberation.

It is worth mentioning that

Ma Chao, who had been captured before, was also discovered and rescued by Zhang He in the chaotic army.

But... at this moment, Ma Chao was like a walking corpse that had lost its soul.

The word "embarrassing" was completely insufficient to describe his encounter.

Especially after seeing Ma Teng, Ma Tie, and Ma Xiu.

Ma Chao felt that jumping directly from the Fufeng city tower might be a relief for him.

"Linzhi!"

"I didn't expect you to dare to charge over with just three thousand Flying Bear Army soldiers!"

"In my life, I, Xu, have never admired anyone other than myself."

"But for you, Linzhi, I admire you from the bottom of my heart!"

Xu Rong, with excitement, took three steps in two, quickly arriving beside Gu Yi.

Subsequently, he respectfully saluted Gu Yi.

If it weren't for Gu Yi, I'm afraid Fufeng City would have been broken by Han Sui today.

At that time, Xu Rong would definitely have died on the battlefield.

And Gu Yi's arrival not only lifted the siege of Fufeng but even beheaded Han Sui!

For Xu Rong, this was a life-saving grace!
