Chapter 517: West Foot Camp (Part )

"No!"

Tang Xuan's face changed, and he refused on the spot: "She is the Holy Lord's woman, how can she walk into another man's tent alone in the middle of the night?"

"How dare you!" The leader of the guards glared at him angrily, "Do you think my general is a mediocre person obsessed with beauty?"

“No, no, no!” Seeing Tang Xuan anxious and angry, Li Haitang hurried to come to the rescue, “My master means that she has never met General Sui before and is worried about being impolite.”

"Whether it is impolite or not is not up to you to decide." The one-eyed man said impatiently, "Similarly, in the West Foot Camp, who can enter the central army tent to talk to the general is not up to you to decide."

If Xiao Zhirou were to enter the account alone, wouldn't that mean she would be left without any care? In this way, the chances of success would become very slim.

Thinking of this, Tang Xuan and his companions were all extremely anxious, but they did not dare to show too much anxiety on the surface, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the Mongols.

"Master Jun!"

Li Haitang approached the one-eyed man with a flattering smile on his face and begged, "Can you please be flexible? For the sake of money..."

"Asshole!" the one-eyed man shouted, "When did I ever accept money from you? Stop slandering me!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Haitang quickly changed his words, "I said something wrong, what I meant was..."

"Go away!"

Before Li Haitang could finish his words, the one-eyed man suddenly waved his hand, pushing him to stagger.

Upon seeing this, Tang Xuan and the others' faces changed, and at the same time, they became furious and wanted to step forward to argue with him.

However, before they could make any move, the leader of the guards suddenly drew out his scimitar, pointed the shining blade directly at Tang Xuan and the others, and threatened: "Do you want to rebel?"

"you……"

"Misunderstand!"

Li Haitang was worried that he would make a commotion and disturb the other soldiers in the camp, so he rushed to Tang Xuan and the others in a hurry, winking and whispering, "Everyone, don't be angry! Don't be angry!"

"If you dare to do that again, I will kill you without mercy!" The guard leader's face was as gloomy as water. He pointed his knife at Xiao Zhirou and shouted, "Except her, everyone else retreat!"

"This……"

Tang Xuan looked at Xiao Zhirou anxiously, not knowing what to do next.

"You must follow the orders of the military commander and do not mess around in other people's territory." Xiao Zhirou remained calm and said, "I will go see General Sui myself."

"But……"

"Don't worry!" Xiao Zhirou gave Tang Xuan and the others a mysterious look and reminded them, "Remember what I just said, and follow the rules."

As the saying goes: When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. At this moment, even if Tang Xuan and his men were unwilling, they did not dare to act recklessly in the encirclement of 20,000 troops. They cast bitter glances at Xiao Zhirou and then retreated reluctantly.

Xiao Zhirou could clearly feel that there was not only bitterness in the eyes of Tang Xuan and the others, but also hope, and even a hint of guilt.

After all, entering the tent alone would mean that she would have to face the dangers that followed alone, and no one else would be able to help.

At this moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the life and death of the Central Plains martial arts world rests entirely on Xiao Zhirou's shoulders.

"Beauty, please!"

The one-eyed man smiled evilly, pointed his hand towards the central military tent, and then led Xiao Zhirou into the tent.

After watching the one-eyed man and Xiao Zhirou disappear behind the curtain, and then seeing the eight guards with contempt and unfriendly eyes, the confusion in the eyes of Tang Xuan and others gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an indescribable cunning and viciousness.

The lights in the central army tent were bright, as bright as day.

Directly in front of him was a command desk made of fine copper, and behind the desk was a command chair covered with tiger skin.

A map of the Huashan area was hung on the left, a set of majestic armor was hung on the shelf on the right, and a spear, a scimitar, a sword, and a crossbow were placed on the weapon rack next to it.

In addition, there were seven or eight gold-plated wooden boxes stacked in a corner. The big one was five feet square, and the small one was three feet wide and long. The boxes were all Sui Zuo's personal belongings, such as... gold, silver, and jewelry looted from Huashan Town.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen deputy generals sitting in the tent. They were wearing armor and had steel swords on their waists. They seemed to be ready for battle and had not slept all night.

Sui Zuo, on the other hand, was dressed in green cloth, holding a candlestick, standing quietly in front of the map, staring at it in a trance.

Because he had his back to the crowd, others could not tell his emotions.

Fortunately, Yan Wuji and the masters of Chifengling were not in the tent.

When the one-eyed man led Xiao Zhirou into the big tent, everyone's eyes were focused on her. For a moment, everyone had different expressions and each had their own hidden agenda.

Only Sui Zuo was still standing in front of the map, not even turning his head.

The one-eyed man first bowed to the deputy generals, then tiptoed behind Sui Zuo and whispered, "General, the people are here."

"Yeah." Sui Zuo responded lightly and asked calmly, "Who can be the master of Longxiang Mountain?"

"Yun Zhuiyue's woman." The one-eyed man replied, "Even the guardian of Longxiang Mountain is very respectful to her."

"Oh?"

Sui Zuo slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Zhirou with curiosity in his eyes.

"You said she is Yun Zhuiyue's woman?" Sui Zuo asked without looking away.

"Tang Xuan admitted it himself, so it should be... true."

"Tell me!"

Sui Zuo grinned, turned back to his position, waved his hand and pointed at the lieutenants, and jokingly asked: "Is she Yun Zhuiyue's woman?"

"General, this woman is not Yun Zhuiyue's woman, but the Lord of Jueqing Valley, Xiao Zhirou!" A deputy general suddenly stood up and said confidently, "The general once ordered me to closely monitor the martial arts conference, so I know her identity very well."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other deputy generals' faces changed, and they gripped their sword handles with a look of vigilance.

The one-eyed man was so frightened that his face turned pale as death. He immediately collapsed to the ground, his lips and teeth trembling, and he was unable to utter any further words for a long time.

“I think you are not blind in one eye, but in both.” Sui Zuo looked at the one-eyed man with disgust, and said faintly, “You can’t even tell whether she is a human or a ghost, and you dare to bring her here? What? Do you want her to assassinate me?” “I… I…” The one-eyed man was panicked and kowtowed repeatedly, “General, spare me, I don’t know, I really don’t know…”

"You are not good enough to accomplish anything, but you are more likely to cause trouble. What use is there for me to keep you?"

After saying that, Sui Zuo suddenly stood up, pulled out the sword from the weapon rack, and threw it in front of the one-eyed man with a "clang" sound, and ordered: "Solve it yourself, so as not to dirty my hands."

"General, please spare my life, please spare my life!" The one-eyed man looked at Xiao Zhirou with resentment and evaded the question, "It was her! She lied to me. She teamed up with Tang Xuan to lie to me..."

"Humph! What a joke." Xiao Zhirou said calmly, "From the beginning to the end, you never asked my name, so how can I say I lied to you?"

"Idiot, did you hear that?" Sui Zuo urged, "You still dare to quibble? Come on, don't embarrass me!"

"I……"

At this moment, the one-eyed man was filled with regret. He had wanted to take the opportunity to win credit, but he ended up bringing disaster upon himself.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have meddled in other people's business.

He picked up the sword tremblingly, tears and snot streaming down his face, and the one-eyed man kept wailing and begging for mercy to Sui Zuo.

In response, Sui Zuo didn't even look at him and said coldly: "I am strict in military discipline and will never tolerate any leniency. You should know that there is no joking in the army."

"After I die, please treat my family well..."

"Don't worry, your family will not be disgraced because of you!"

"Thank you, General! I will... go..."

"puff!"

"Forehead……"

Before he could finish his words, the one-eyed man resolutely slashed his throat with his sword and died to atone for his crime.

Upon seeing this, all the deputy generals could not help but look at each other, and some even secretly expressed regret.

"Master Xiao."

Sui Zuo walked towards Xiao Zhirou leisurely. When passing by the corpse of the one-eyed man, he kicked it to the corner of the tent. Then he asked with a smile, "Military law is as strong as a mountain, life and death are unpredictable. Didn't I scare you just now?"

Xiao Zhirou stared at the one-eyed man's body with a serious look and remained silent for a long while.

"You..." Sui Zuo frowned slightly, looking puzzled, "When did you become Yun Zhuiyue's woman?"

"I have never said such a thing, nor have I ever intended to conceal my identity. It's just that your men are too conceited."

"I have heard a little about what happened between you, Luo Tianjin, and Yun Zhuiyue."

Sui Zuo was only one step away from Xiao Zhirou, and he seemed to have no intention of guarding against Xiao Zhirou at all.

Now is undoubtedly the best time for Xiao Zhirou to take action.

Xiao Zhirou is confident enough that as long as she takes action, Sui Zuo will be unable to escape.

However, although Sui Zuo was very close, more than a dozen deputy generals were sitting separately. Once Xiao Zhirou took action, the deputy generals would never sit and wait for death, and would definitely fight back.

If the noise gets out of hand, there will be endless troubles in the future.

"I'm really curious, between Luo Tianjin and Yun Zhuiyue... who is the right one for Master Xiao?"

Sui Zuo slowly circled around Xiao Zhirou, looking her delicate body up and down with malicious eyes.

"General Sui is busy with military affairs. Could he be interested in other people's affairs?"

"I have no interest in other people's affairs. But the affairs of a beauty like Master Xiao... hehe, I am very interested in them."

After saying that, Sui Zuo moved closer to Xiao Zhirou and looked into her eyes. The two of them were only an inch apart, with only a thin layer of white gauze between them.

Xiao Zhirou remained silent, but her scent was as fragrant as orchids, and the fragrance had already seeped into Sui Zuo's mind uncontrollably, making him look intoxicated, and even... drooling.

"Since you know who I am, you should also know that it would be easy for me to kill you."

Xiao Zhirou's tone was calm, and there was no emotion in her eyes. This didn't sound like a warning, but it was a real threat.

"Master Xiao is the first person in history to threaten me in my central army camp. Haha..."

"Boom!"

Before the laughter died down, more than a dozen lieutenants either drew out their steel knives or mounted their powerful crossbows, aggressively surrounding Xiao Zhirou. If she made the slightest move, they would shoot out their knives and arrows, and in the blink of an eye they would be able to turn her into a sieve.

However, Sui Zuo was still standing in front of Xiao Zhirou, showing no intention of retreating.

"We are all smart people. Master Xiao, there is no need to find some ridiculous excuses to deceive me." Sui Zuo teased, "With Luo Tianjin's shrewdness, how could he let you go down the mountain safely? In my opinion, you came to me not because Yun Zhuiyue asked you to, but because Luo Tianjin asked you to. Is that right?"

Xiao Zhirou was quite surprised at Sui Zuo's cleverness. She thought Sui Zuo was a rough and unruly man, but she didn't expect him to be so wise.

What's worse, Sui Zuo didn't shy away from his own situation, as if he wasn't worried at all about Xiao Zhirou's sneak attack.

"I wonder what General Sui wants to hear?" Xiao Zhirou was calm and showed no fear in the face of the people who were eyeing her covetously.

Sui Zuo's mouth corners slightly raised, and he smiled faintly: "Why did Master Xiao come here?"

"You want to hear the truth?"

"Of course!"

Hearing this, a cold murderous intent suddenly flashed across Xiao Zhirou's eyes. At the same time, a strong energy was secretly brewing from her palm.

As Sui Zuo waited with interest, Xiao Zhirou's beautiful eyes turned and she uttered two words faintly: "For you!"

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Zhirou's pupils shrank, and she suddenly attacked. She stretched her fingers in mid-air and grabbed Sui Zuo's throat with lightning speed.
