Chapter 997: A River of Blood
Xiao Ruohai gripped the reins tightly, held his breath, and asked Yun Lingzhi with a smile.
“They are all descendants of our Yun family. It’s embarrassing to say… This is an army modeled after the Tiger Eagle Battalion of the Bai Family Army. If you are interested in training people, Yun can introduce them to you later.”
The guards of the Bai family army almost yelled bullshit, this is clearly the training method of the Tiger Eagle Battalion, how can those useless people from the Yun family train such a brave and brave general? !
Xiao Ruohai turned around and gave a wink to the guards of the Bai family army, and the guards of the Bai family nodded in understanding.
As soon as the group entered the military camp, the Bai family guards scattered. Yun Lingzhi was about to stop them when he heard Xiao Ruohai say, “Our Great Zhou envoy told the Queen of Xiliang to walk around in this camp and look for them. If we can’t find them… we will go back! Now that we are here, Lord Yun must make us feel at ease.”
Yun Lingzhi thought his father should have made all the arrangements, so he smiled and said, “Of course!”
Xiao Ruohai did not dismount, and said to Yun Lingzhi: “Then, Lord Yun… call all the Yun family members who trained your Tiger Eagle Battalion here, so that I, Xiao, can get acquainted with them.”
The Bai family’s guards who retreated from the Tiger Eagle Camp had a very clear goal, heading towards the cliff. They had all served in the military, and once they arrived at the training ground… it was clear who the general in training was.
The Bai family guards had a clear goal, and under the attention of the soldiers of the Huoyun Army, they rode straight to the training ground.
The Golden Crow was about to fall, and the speed of the night’s attack was extremely fast, so fast that before one could be prepared, the cliffs that were originally reflected in warm orange color faded into a dull color like tea stains. Only a little bit of evening purple remained on the top of the cliff. The surrounding dense forests had lost their color, and only black shadows remained of the green trees in the distant mountains.
The Bai family guards riding on horses saw a man in white tights in the distance, using bamboo swords in their hands to correct a row of soldiers holding bamboo swords with both hands one by one. Those soldiers were facing the fierce soldiers swooping down from the cliff, ready to fight to the death with those fierce soldiers at any time. And there was a man in black tights standing on the ground, holding the hilt of the bamboo sword with both hands and supporting himself with the sword. It was clearly the general who was training this time.
“General Guan!” The Bai family guards felt their eyes burning when they saw the person, and shouted at the top of their lungs, “Go and report, it’s General Guan!”
The general who was standing with his hands holding the bamboo sword raised his head when he heard the voice and saw the Bai family guards riding horses and galloping towards him. He raised his hand and pointed the bamboo sword at the Bai family guards, and reprimanded them majestically: “Get off the horse! Who allowed you to gallop in the barracks!”
“General Guan!” The Bai family guard jumped off the horse without waiting for it to stop, and looked at Guan Zhangning with red eyes, “General Guan, we are following the orders of the Third Young Master… to take you home!”
Guan Zhangning looked at the Bai family guards who dismounted and stood not far from him with red eyes, and was stunned and confused: “Who are you?”
The Bai family guards clasped their fists and saluted Guan Zhangning: “We are all retired from the Bai family army, the Bai family guards, and I retired from the Tiger Eagle Camp.”
Soon, Xiao Ruohai came galloping over, jumped off his horse, and when he saw Guan Zhangning, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Before coming here, Xiao Ruohai held out hope… that the young general of the Bai family would be trained in the Tiger Eagle Battalion here. Although Guan Zhangning seemed a little disappointed now, it might be good news for the Bai family army and the Bai family to find General Guan Zhangning again.
“General Guan!” Xiao Ruohai dismounted and bowed to Guan Zhangning with tears in his eyes. “I am Xiao Ruohai, the former deputy commander of the Bai family army. I wonder if General Guan remembers me?”
Xiao Ruohai looked up and saw Guan Zhangning casting a puzzled look at Yun Lingzhi who followed Xiao Ruohai. Confused, he looked at Yun Lingzhi with an inquiring look.
Yun Lingzhi stared at Guan Zhangning deeply with an ugly expression. He didn’t know why his father didn’t ask anyone to transfer Yun Lan away.
“Second brother?” Guan Zhangning called Yun Lingzhi with a puzzled look.
Xiao Ruohai frowned and turned to look at Yun Lingzhi who had already dismounted.
Yun Lingzhi tightened his palms behind his back and could only say to Xiao Ruohai, “This…is our Yun family’s cousin who was brought back last year by our uncle. He said he was rescued from outside and they thought we were destined to be together so they adopted him as their own child. He is also considered a member of our Yun family.”
“Second brother? What are you talking about?” Guan Zhangning frowned and casually put the bamboo sword aside. “I am the biological child of my father and mother. I was injured on the battlefield and was brought back by my father. How can he be recognized as his son?”
“Lord Yun…” Xiao Ruohai called softly.
Yun Lingzhi tightened his grip and glanced at Guan Zhangning, immediately revealing an embarrassed look.
“General, after you recovered from your injury, you don’t remember anything about the past?” Xiao Ruohai asked the question that was in his mind.
Guan Zhangning looked at Xiao Ruohai with a wary gaze, pursed his lips and said nothing.
“General Guan, you were deceived by Xiliang…” Xiao Ruohai said to Guan Zhangning in front of Yun Lingzhi without mercy, his voice calm, “Xiliang must want to use you to train their troops, so they told you that you are from the Yun family, but you are not a member of the Yun family. Your last name is Guan… Your family is in Feng County. You joined the Bai family army to resist Xiliang. General Guan’s wife and children died under the sword of Xiliang people!”
Guan Zhangning’s face, which was originally tanned, turned pale, and he looked at Yun Lingzhi again: “Second brother?!”
Yun Lingzhi looked at Guan Zhangning and nodded.
Guan Zhangning stood frozen in place, unable to move, as if this news was like a bolt from the blue.
“General Guan!” Xiao Ruohai stepped forward and tentatively stretched out his hand to support Guan Zhangning, “General Xiaobai has ascended the throne as emperor! Now Jin is the Great Zhou, General Xiaobai has sent the third son to… take you home!”
Yun Lingzhi looked at Guan Zhangning deeply for a moment, lowered his eyes and made way for him, not intending to stop him anymore.
“General Guan, let’s go home…” Xiao Ruohai supported Guan Zhangning and spoke solemnly.
Guan Zhangning pulled his arm out of Xiao Ruohai’s hand and said, “I want to go back to the Yun family and ask clearly.”
“Yun Lan… don’t ask!” Yun Lingzhi looked at Guan Zhangning and said, “Have you ever thought about why your name is different from our brothers in the Yun family? We all have the surname Yun… and the character Ling, but you… are called Yun Lan.”
A breeze blew through the forest, the leaves rustled, the black gold fell, and dark clouds with stars came slowly from the east.
Guan Zhangning pursed his lips tightly, his expression hidden in the darkness.
Yun Lingzhi said, “Go back! Xiliang cannot fight against the Great Zhou now, so… we can only let you go! Thank you for training the Fire Cloud Army for Xiliang.”
“General Guan, let’s go!”
That night, Xiao Ruohai and Guan Zhangning rushed to Qiushan Pass.
That night, the Queen Mother of Xiliang was seriously ill, and she ordered the leaders of the eight major families to come to the palace to entrust them with her affairs after her death.
That night, eight granaries outside Yunjing City caught fire at the same time, and inside the Yunjing Palace… blood flowed like a river.
