Chapter 519: West Foot Camp (Part )

"Oops!"

When Xiao Zhirou realized that she had fallen into Sui Zuo's trap, she immediately felt remorseful and furious.

Now that the truth had been revealed, Xiao Zhirou had no other concerns, so she did not hesitate any longer and followed Sui Zuo's footsteps out of the tent, wanting to join forces with Tang Xuan and others to fight their way out together.

"See General!"

Upon seeing Sui Zuo, the night patrol soldiers who had rushed over knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Tang Xuan and others on both sides of the tent door were stunned, and then saw the angry Xiao Zhirou chasing after them. Their faces changed immediately, and they all felt an ominous feeling in their hearts.

"No need to be polite."

In the blink of an eye, Sui Zuo had stepped among the soldiers, and his fingers tapped the edge of the gong intentionally or unintentionally, as if warning Xiao Zhirou behind him not to act rashly.

This action made Xiao Zhirou, who was about to take action, stop subconsciously. She stared at Sui Zuo with cold eyes and did not say a word for a long time.

Xiao Zhirou, standing gracefully in front of the tent door, startled all the soldiers.

"General, she is..."

However, before the night patrol soldier could express his doubts, Sui Zuo's eyes suddenly changed, and he suddenly took action and slapped him hard in the face.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound not only shocked the soldiers, but also startled Xiao Zhirou and others who were ready to go.

"General..."

"Does it look good?"

Sui Zuo approached the sergeant who was holding his cheek with a look of grievance, and asked in a sarcastic tone, "Is she beautiful?"

"nice……"

"beautiful?"

As soon as the soldier said this, he suddenly felt that Sui Zuo looked unhappy. His face changed in fear and he quickly changed his words: "No... not beautiful..."

"You dare to say she is not beautiful?"

"No, no, no! She is beautiful... not beautiful..."

In a moment of panic, the sergeant was so frightened that he spoke incoherently, and kowtowed to Sui Zuo repeatedly, saying, "I didn't know, please forgive me, General!"

"And you guys! Do you think it looks good?" Sui Zuo snorted coldly, then pointed at the other soldiers with a gloomy face and scolded, "How can you covet my woman? Watch your eyes, or I will dig out all your eyeballs."

"The general will finally be convicted!"

The soldiers were terrified and quickly retracted their gazes, lowered their heads, and dared not look around anymore.

Seeing this, Tang Xuan and the others couldn't help but frown and looked at each other, then cast suspicious eyes at Xiao Zhirou, as if trying to find out the reason from her.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhirou was also confused and bewildered.

"I was just about to praise you, but you can't stop eating shit!" Sui Zuo was arrogant, ordering the soldiers around and scolding them one by one. "Just now, I deliberately fired the signal arrow to test your reaction and see if you have let down your guard and slacked off in the middle of the night."

"So, the signal arrow just now was... fake?"

"presumptuous!"

Sui Zuo glared at the soldiers with his tiger eyes, and they were so scared that they immediately shut up.

"Since you have performed your duties conscientiously, I will forgive your rudeness." Sui Zuo's tone slowed down, and he smiled slyly, "This general has important things to do tonight, so I don't want outsiders to disturb you within a hundred meters of the central army tent. When you patrol later..."

"I will finally understand!"

Sui Zuo didn't need to say it clearly, as the soldiers all understood and accepted his orders.

"Keep an eye on the gongs and horns you carry with you! Don't make any noise by accident and ruin my good deeds." Sui Zuo added, "Also, don't mention what happened tonight to anyone, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

"As ordered."

"Go down!"

Sui Zuo's shout not only made the trembling soldiers feel relieved, but also made Tang Xuan and others who were in a nervous mood secretly relieved.

Looking at the soldiers who were gradually walking away, Sui Zuo couldn't help but raise a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"you……"

"You guys come in with me first."

After saying that, Sui Zuo took the lead and walked into the tent. Xiao Zhirou, Tang Xuan and the others hesitated for a moment, but they couldn't suppress their curiosity, so they made up their minds and quickly followed into the tent.

"You are not Sui Zuo!"

As soon as he entered the big tent, Tang Xuan looked at the corpses on the ground with shock, and said bluntly: "Sui Zuo has a violent temper. It is impossible for him to remain indifferent to the tragic death of his subordinates." Just these words immediately shocked Xiao Zhirou, Li Haitang and others, and they all cast surprised looks at "Sui Zuo".

"Good eyesight, you are worthy of being called 'Ghost Hand Rakshasa'."

Sui Zuo smiled mysteriously, and then, under everyone's surprised gaze, he reached behind his ear, fumbled around a bit, and finally tore off a layer of dough strangely.

"hiss!"

Seeing this scene, even someone as experienced as Xiao Zhirou could not help but be stunned and marvel at it.

"Disguise technique!" Qin San exclaimed, "I only heard about this secret technique in the past, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today."

Amidst exclamations of disbelief, "Sui Zuo" completely took off the human skin mask, revealing an unparalleled handsome young face.

“Wu…Wu Shuang?”

The person pretending to be Sui Zuo turned out to be Wu Shuang, the leader of the Dragon Elephant List. Tang Xuan and the others were stunned and didn't know what to say.

Xiao Zhirou asked suspiciously, "It's you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Wu Shuang said with a smile, "I'm sorry for offending you, I hope Master Xiao won't blame me."

"You..." At this moment, Xiao Zhirou had no intention of pursuing Wu Shuang's teasing, and asked in confusion, "Why are you here? What's going on?"

"In fact, after I visited Yun Jianping in the Jueqing Valley Villa, I went down the mountain overnight." Wu Shuang explained, "Yesterday morning, the news that Luo Tianjin became the leader of the martial arts world spread like wildfire. Then Sui Zuo appeared in Huashan Town and assembled a large army to kill people in the martial arts world everywhere."

"We already know about this." Tang Xuan said indignantly, "On the eve of the martial arts conference, Yan Wuji and Sui Zuo had clearly promised the Holy Lord to withdraw the 30,000 troops, but unexpectedly they went back on their word."

"What?" Xiao Zhirou was shocked and asked in astonishment, "You mean... Yun Zhuiyue once dissuaded the Mongolian army from encircling Huashan?"

"That's right!" Tang Xuan sighed, "Although the Holy Lord is regarded as a heretic demon, he has never made a wrong step when it comes to right and wrong. It's just that the world has too many misunderstandings about him, especially Luo Tianjin, who regards the Holy Lord as a traitor who colluded with foreign countries. Now thinking about it, it's really unfair."

"If that's the case, why did Yun Zhuiyue try his best to protect the Mongolian Khan in front of me and Chief Teng? He even admitted in person that he was secretly colluding with Sui Zuo." Xiao Zhirou was confused and full of doubts.

"All this was forced by Luo Tianjin!" Tang Xuan looked at Xiao Zhirou who seemed to be thinking bitterly, and said helplessly, "Although I don't know much about the relationship between you two, through the farces at the martial arts conference, even a fool can see that the Holy Lord is deeply in love with Xiao Guzhu. Perhaps, he didn't mean what he said in front of you because you have always misunderstood him, forcing him to be heartbroken, so he said some resentful words."

"This……"

When Xiao Zhirou gradually figured out everything, she felt mixed emotions and indescribable discomfort.

It turned out that they had always misunderstood Yun Zhuiyue.

"Now is not the time to reminisce about the past." Tang Yu reminded, "Since Young Master Wu's disguise can deceive the world, why not continue to use Sui Zuo's name to order the Nanlu camp to retreat and let the heroes of the world escape smoothly."

"That's right!" Gong Qing nodded repeatedly, "If we delay any longer, it will probably be dawn soon."

"Don't worry!" Wu Shuang waved his hand and said, "In fact, I have already ordered the army on the southern slope to withdraw. Calculating the time, the area south of Huashan is now flat. Except for a few defenses on the way down the mountain, there are no other troops to support us."

"what?"

Wu Shuang's words surprised everyone.

"Yesterday afternoon, I took advantage of the chaos in Huashan Town and sneaked into the Mongolian army. In the evening, I took the opportunity when Sui Zuo went to the toilet and disguised myself as him." Wu Shuang recalled, "After that, I used an excuse to transfer Kai Yan Wuji and summoned all the deputy generals in the camp to the central army tent to prevent any changes in the middle of the journey."

"Dismiss Yan Wuji?" Tang Xuan was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"I learned from the deputy general that Sui Zuo not only transferred 30,000 troops from the Jingbei camp to besiege Huashan, but also ambushed 10,000 elite soldiers in the pass fortresses within a radius of 50 miles of Huashan, waiting for an opportunity to kill the fish that escaped the net." Wu Shuang's words shocked Xiao Zhirou and others. "So, under the pretext of strengthening defense, I sent Yan Wuji to monitor the deployment of 10,000 elite soldiers. Yan Wuji was sure that Huashan would be safe with Sui Zuo in charge, so he left in a hurry without too much doubt."

"But how did you know we would come?"

"I don't know." Wu Shuang curled his lips and said, "I learned from the deputy general that Sui Zuo had sent someone to deliver a secret letter to Yun Zhuiyue, telling him to escape from the southeastern dangerous road at midnight tonight. So I took advantage of the situation and ordered the withdrawal of the southern foot camp in the name of releasing Yun Zhuiyue. I wanted to rush back to Huashan to inform you overnight, but unexpectedly..."

"I didn't expect us to arrive first." Xiao Zhirou continued, "As I expected, even if I didn't kill these lieutenants, you wouldn't let them go, right?"

"Yes." Wu Shuang replied without denying it. "After getting rid of these lieutenants, there will be no one to lead the troops in the army. Even if the truth is revealed, it will be difficult to act in a unified manner, and there will be no one to assist in dispatching the troops from the other two camps. By then, the 30,000-strong army will be in chaos, buying more time for you to escape."

"But after you saw us, you guessed that we had a comprehensive plan." Xiao Zhirou said unhappily, "So you were no longer anxious, but instead deliberately played a trick on me."

"Haha..." Wu Shuang said jokingly with a smug look on his face, "In the Absolute Lovelessness Valley, Valley Master Xiao also made things difficult for me. Tonight I will return the favor, so we'll call it even."

"you……"

"and many more!"

Without waiting for Xiao Zhirou to refute, Tang Xuan's eyes suddenly changed, and he said in panic: "Young Master Wu, since you are pretending to be Sui Zuo, where is the real Sui Zuo now? Is he... alive or dead now?"

Wu Shuang smiled calmly and said, "I wanted to kill him, but I thought Yun Zhuiyue had some friendship with him, so I didn't do it for now. I'll leave it to you to deal with!"

"Where is he?"

Under Tang Xuan's nervous and uneasy gaze, Wu Shuang's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he was thinking about something, but his face showed no joy or anger.

After a moment of silence, Wu Shuang's mouth gradually raised a wicked smile, and then his eyes turned and looked directly at a gold-plated wooden box in the corner of the big tent.
