"We'll set up camp right here on the border."
"After we figured out the route Wang Qing and the others took back,"
"Contact the Mu brothers again,"
"One in front, one behind, block them!"
"That's all we can do now!"
Sick Yuchi nodded in agreement.
On Ou Peng's side,
Naturally, there were no objections.
Wu Yong sent two henchmen.
He then relayed the message to the two Mu brothers who were following behind.
And they themselves,
They then rode directly across the Song-Liao border.
They headed towards Jizhou, which belonged to the Liao Kingdom.
...
The Jizhou region, which was acquired by the Liao Kingdom, was originally Han Chinese territory.
But during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period,
It was then occupied by a foreign race.
After that,
He never returned to the Han Chinese court.
Although Jizhou has been controlled by foreign tribes for many years
But those who live here,
However, the majority of them are still Han Chinese.
Wu Yong and his men came from the border,
After entering the territory of Jizhou,
They quickly found out the whereabouts of Huai Xi Wang Qing and his group.
Wang Qing and the others were all from Huaixi.
That southern accent,
In this northern land,
It was obviously very eye-catching.
Wu Yong and his men wanted to find out where they were going.
It's not difficult at all.
"Strategist, Wang Qing and his men have crossed Jizhou and headed towards Linhuang Prefecture."
Ou Peng returned with the information,
Reporting to the wise and capable,
Should we continue chasing?
"...I'm not going to chase them anymore,"
Wu Yong pondered for a while,
shook his head,
"The northern territory of the Liao Kingdom is too vast."
"If we chase after them all the way,"
"When will this end?"
"It would be better to wait here in Jizhou Prefecture."
"Jizhou is located in a strategically important area,"
"So, even if Wang Qing and his men from Huaixi have successfully purchased the horses,"
"Afterwards, when I returned south,"
"It will definitely pass through Jizhou as well."
"We'll wait here,"
"We'll be able to wait for them to come back sooner or later."
Seeing that neither the sickly Yuchi Sunli nor the golden-winged Ou Peng of Moyun had any objection,
The strategist took out the map.
"When Wang Qing and the others returned from their southward journey,"
"We'll definitely need to come to Jizhou City for supplies."
“These past few days, I’ve looked around Jizhou Prefecture,”
"Only this mountain hollow here,"
"Located in a remote location, yet with ample space,"
"It can accommodate several hundred horses."
“Let’s send some henchmen to guard the only road in and out of this ravine,”
"As long as Huai Xi Wang Qing and his group appear, we will definitely not miss it."
"it is good,"
Sickly Yuchi nodded.
Just wanted to say something,
I could hear it coming from the street outside.
Suddenly the crowd surged,
Many people flocked to the streets.
They seem to be going to see some kind of excitement.
"What happened?"
Wu Yong frowned and asked.
One of the henchmen went out to inquire.
He returned a moment later and said,
"Strategist, it's the government officials who want to carry out the execution,"
"The people took to the streets, crowding around the executioner, wanting to watch the beheading."
"Even a beheading can cause such a stir!"
Wu Yong and his two companions were curious.
Let's walk out of the inn together.
We arrived on the street.
Sure enough, I saw the street corner not far away.
The common people,
A burly man was being escorted by a large, imposing crowd as they walked over.
The man had eyebrows that reached his temples and phoenix eyes that looked upwards.
On a pale yellow dough sheet,
Only a few wispy strands of beard.
"This man is quite handsome,"
Ou Peng looked at the sick Yuchi beside him and smiled.
"The color of his face is exactly the same as that of Commander Sun."
Sun Li noticed that this man also had a yellowish complexion.
He smiled as well.
He then inquired with the local people about the man's background.
"You outsiders don't understand,"
The commoner said with a hint of smugness,
"This executioner is a prominent figure in our Jizhou."
"His surname is Yang and his given name is Xiong. He originally had an older brother who was the prefect of Jizhou."
"Unfortunately, he fell ill and died within two days."
"Then, when he took over as prefect, I recognized him,"
Instead of driving him away, they made him the executioner in Jizhou.
"Because this person has a yellowish complexion,"
"We all call him Sick Guan Suo."
"Sick Guan Suo, it seems this man is also quite skilled in martial arts?"
"Ill-fed Yuchi Sunli asked curiously."
"If he didn't have excellent martial arts skills, he wouldn't be qualified to be an executioner..."
Chapter 1344 Acts of Bravery
Wu Yong and his two companions became curious after hearing what the commoner was saying.
Thinking of the Erlong Mountain now,
There is still a lack of manpower.
He couldn't help but want to get to know Yang Xiong.
After the execution of the sick man,
Wu Yong and his two companions followed.
I wanted to get to know Yang Xiong.
But unexpectedly, when crossing an intersection,
Then six or seven soldiers emerged from around the corner.
They immediately surrounded the sick Guan Suo.
Wu Yong and his companions inquired with the onlookers who were watching the commotion.
Then he learned that this was the leader of the army.
His name was Zhang Bao, who kicked and killed sheep.
These were the soldiers who defended the city.
And the people following behind him
They were all impoverished households in Jizhou Prefecture.
This group of people usually committed all sorts of crimes in Jizhou.
Nobody can control it.
Now they surrounded Yang Xiong.
