In the end, the five didn't choose to head up the mountain to investigate. Instead, they headed south to continue their next mission. Seeing that they were in a hurry, the mission they were about to complete was extremely urgent.

Xian Da led his team and successfully retreated. He rushed to the meeting place as fast as he could. He must meet with the hall master and the others before those people did and he must report everything in detail.

If the hall master's group were to run into those five freaks first, it wouldn't be an easy feat to kill them.

Who are they? Where did it come from? What was the purpose of this trip?

The lack of information caused the result of his analysis to be very different from the real reality. It seemed to be a different answer, but there was a faint connection between it and the real reality.

Recalling those people's fear, Xian Da couldn't help but speed up the rate at which he brandished the horsewhip. Even if the horse runs to its death, they still have to deliver this information to the hall master immediately.

At the same time, inside the temporary camp for the private army, there was a live version of 'The Garden of Spring'. At the same time, inside the temporary camp for the private army, there was a live version of 'The Garden of Spring'.

However, it was a different scene in the middle of a battle …

"Old Ma and the rest haven't come back yet?" The general named Wu Gang was pacing back and forth in the tent. Seeing his janissary general come in, he blurted out the question.

"General, we haven't received any information from them yet!" The janissary leader replied with a bow.

"How long have they been gone?" Wu Gang sighed and asked while bending over to check the map on the chopping board.

"He has probably been gone for almost three days!" The janissary leader immediately replied. He knew that the general might be aware of these matters. He was merely using him to reorganize his thoughts.

"It's time to set off and return! Did something happen on the way? Or could it be that the opponent is hard to deal with? " Wu Gang looked up and said thoughtfully.

Wu Gang thought that since Old Ma and his men had not returned yet, there were only a few possibilities. However, these were not important reasons for Old Ma's delay. What was the reason for him being delayed?

"General, are you thinking too much?" The two hundred people Horse Commander took away were all elites! It could be said that even if one did not have half a regiment of troops, they might not be able to handle them! Even if the other party really has that many people, with Horse Commander's ability, it's impossible for him to be annihilated right? " The janissary leader said with a smile.

The janissary general's words were reasonable, and he was even more confident. This was not necessarily a baseless claim.

When he first came here to receive the silver taels, these people were the elites selected by Wu Gang from the entire army. In order to ensure Old Ma's success in seizing the silver taels, he had also selected more than two hundred elites from these elites.

In the eyes of the high-ranking officer, this kind of power was a guarantee. At the very least, in his imagination, there were very few opponents who could stop them from completing the mission, let alone annihilating these two hundred plus people.

"That is what I am worried about. After all, we are not people who rely on killing to survive in the martial world. We are just soldiers. Fighting face to face, fighting with people, that is what we are fighting for." "And those underhanded methods in the martial arts world are our weak spot!" Wu Gang sighed again and explained slowly.

Soldiers existed for the sake of the battlefield. They could display fearless bravery and momentum in the midst of tens of thousands of troops, and under mutual collaboration and siege, they could eliminate opponents with extraordinary skills.

However, in the face of those from the martial arts world, their abilities were of little use. Due to the terrain, environment, and other factors, people who roamed the martial arts world were indeed more incisive and had more advantages than soldiers.

And in a battle of thousands of men and horses, those powerful martial artists who only had martial skills might not even be able to walk down from the battlefield. They might not even be able to match up to a small soldier.

This is the result of a long term formation of a particular pattern, not exactly superior or inferior, depending on 'the time and the people.' It's just a matter of 'the time and the people'.

Of course, level nine and above masters were excluded. This was also the reason why those who had reached level nine and above were not allowed to take part in the battle. Those who had reached level nine were not allowed to take part in it personally, because they were told that their lethality was too great.

"General, are you worried that the enemy will trick you?" The janissary leader asked in confusion.

"We are going to ambush them, the other side might not know, but the Yunshan Mountain's terrain is complicated. "Then Old Ma and the rest are completely in a passive position!" Wu Gang voiced out a possibility. However, he knew that the number of ways to deal with hundreds of soldiers was too many to think of.

"Then should we go and support Horse Commander?" The janissary general suggested.

"There's no rush, Your Royal Highness. Is there any news from there?" Wu Gang waved his hand and rejected the suggestion. Then, he suddenly changed the topic and asked.

"Counting the time, it should also be soon. Presumably, the messenger pigeon from the King's Manor is already on its way back. "Tomorrow at the latest, we'll be there soon!" The leader of the janissaries said as he made some plans in his mind.

"Alright, let's see if the prince has any orders before making any decisions!" Wu Gang nodded solemnly and made his decision.

"Then, this subordinate will send someone out of the valley and monitor the return of any pigeons!" The janissary leader immediately bowed and said his farewells.

"Un, you can leave now!" I want some peace and quiet too! " Wu Gang sat back on the chair and answered lightly. At the same time, he closed his eyes.

Watching his subordinate leave, the general also fell into deep thought. Old Ma had always been a prudent and prudent man, and it was precisely because of this that he was highly valued.

On one hand, this did not seem like the old horse's style of doing things, but on the other hand, the two had already agreed to stay in touch at all times in advance. If they could get back the silver, they would immediately send out a signal and come to his side, and he could lead some people to help at any time.

However, several days had passed. Not to mention a piece of paper, even if he didn't casually use a messenger pigeon, he could still send someone back to inform him! Taking 200 people away, one less person wouldn't have much of an impact on the completion of the mission, right?

However, from the beginning to the end, no one sent back a note and no one came back. This matter seemed to be somewhat abnormal!

"That's not right!" Someone come! " Wu Gang suddenly had a bad feeling, so he stood up and shouted towards the outside of the tent.

"General, what orders do you have?" A personal guard immediately entered the tent and knelt on one knee as he replied.

"Immediately send a small group of people to follow Horse Commander and head towards Yunshan Mountain. Remember! He had to see Horse Commander, see him if he was alive, see his corpse if he was dead! After you see it, immediately send me a message from the pigeon! There was no mistake! At the same time, I'm ordering Horse Commander to stay put and wait for my arrival! " Wu Gang instructed with a serious expression.

"Yes, General!"

Seeing the janissary retreating out of the tent, Wu Gang felt as if his heart was pressed down by a huge rock, and it was the kind of rock that was getting heavier and heavier, causing him to be unable to breathe!

The first was that the other party had already passed through the Yunshan Mountain and fled towards the north. If that was the case, once the old horse's team followed them past the Yunshan Mountain, it was very possible that they would run into the local garrison. Although they might not be annihilated, but it was still equivalent to exposing their identity, so the Surveillance Council would probably be very happy to follow along this line.

The other possibility was that Old Ma had succeeded, yet he escaped with his underlings with the money. Of course, this was what Wu Gang didn't want to see the most, nor did he want things to develop in this direction.

Therefore, he had to send people to find Wu Gang's whereabouts. If it was just chasing after the enemy, then that would be alright. At most, he would just waste a chance and try to find a good plan to recover the silver taels.

However, if it was the second possibility, then he could only blame himself for choosing a path that he shouldn't have.

… ….

Although the departure of the huge army of one hundred thousand had been covered up and cleaned up, there were still many traces left behind. These signs were the signal for something else.

At this moment, Gongsun Ztian was following this' signal 'and leading Zhang San and Li Si as they chased after the group day and night.

It was late in the evening when Gongsun Ze Tian, Zhang San and Li Si, after two days of chasing, finally met the scout stallion!

After confirming that Gongsun Zaitian was the Marshal, a small team of mounted gangsters escorted Gongsun Zaitian and company towards the location of the army's encampment.

Before they even arrived, they saw the camp grounds door suddenly open, from within, many personal guards came out one after another, forming a goose feather formation. A few people quickly walked out from the center of the encampment, led by Great Elder Cui, followed by his Third Uncle Situ Qingyun and the various directors of Surveillance Council.

"I am afraid that the Great Elder will personally come out to receive me!" Gongsun Ztian saw Cui Ziyi's furious expression rushing towards him. He quickly dismounted and greeted him with a fake expression that could not be any more fake, as he spoke respectfully to Cui Ziyi.

"Stinky brat, don't be so blabbermouth. You look like you're smiling. Where's your 'frightened' look?" I think you're asking for a beating! As a marshal, how was it proper for him to disappear without a trace? If you don't explain where you have been these past few days, this old man will not be finished with you. You have to know, this old man is now a supervisor! " Cui Ziyi reprimanded with a cold snort.

"Calm down, old man. I do have something on my mind for the past few days. The most important thing is to point Zhao Yiyang in the right direction. Otherwise, who knows how long that old brat would take!" Gongsun Ztian explained with a smile in a low voice. Of course, what he said was one of the facts. It was just that the proportion was very small.

"Hmph, is that true?" Cui Ziyi glared and said in a disbelieving tone.

"It's true! It's absolutely true!" Gongsun Ze Tian quickly replied with a righteous tone.

"You little rascal, you can't be trusted with my words. I'll go and ask Zhao Yiyang about this later!" Cui Ziyi was even more unconvinced when he saw Gongsun Zaitian's expression and actions. Usually, this old man would listen to his words from hundreds of miles away, or else there would be too much water in it.

"Grand Elder, don't be angry. We still need to consult the Marshal's next arrangements!" Situ Qingyun tried to persuade her.

"That's right!" That's right! " Gongsun Zaitian quickly agreed.

"I also think that we can keep these matters in mind for now. After this is over, we can settle this with him!" Lei Sheng interjected gloatingly.

"..." Other than giving Lei Sheng an extremely resentful look, Gongsun Ze Tian could only shed tears helplessly. At the same time, he silently said in his heart: "This bastard is such a beast!"
