Chapter 465 Dying (1)

By a small river three hundred miles north of the capital, a dozen people dressed in black were scattered in a circle and resting on the spot, their exposed eyes keenly observing what was going on around them. Not far away from them, a dozen horses quickly gnawed on the grass along the river bank with their heads lowered.

The horses' abdomens were severely sunken. It was obvious that they had not eaten for a long time. Their backs and necks were wet, and many places were stained with an unknown dark red color. Most of their limbs had injuries, and the blood that had flowed out had been dried. Apparently, their owners had carried out a brutal fight on them not long ago.

According to Da Chu's military regulations, when the war is over, regardless of victory or defeat, the commander-in-chief cannot lead the army back to the court. He must return half a month before the army sets off to prevent the commander from becoming disloyal and threatening the safety of Chu.

Last year, when Xiao Ruiyuan led his army to resist the enemy and rushed to the border from central Beijing, he only took away 30,000 soldiers from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. The remaining 70,000 soldiers were mobilized from various state capitals and led directly to the border by local generals. In this way, the troops can be dispersed so that those in power can rest assured.

More than half a month ago, Xiao Ruiyuan led his army to fight against the Ba people and achieved a complete victory. Within a few days, an imperial edict calling him back to the capital arrived in Shanhai City. Knowing that the road would not be stable, Xiao Ruiyuan made preparations in advance. After receiving the imperial edict, he led more than a hundred guards and 60 secret guards back to the capital from Shanhai City.

At this time, there was movement on the water, and arcs were slowly swinging around a point in the center. The secret guard closest to the river quickly discovered the "culprit" who caused the movement, and his tone was slightly relaxed. The ground said: "Nothing, it's a snake."

It turned out to be a false alarm!

The tight-bodied secret guards secretly relaxed, their sword-holding hands slowly relaxed, and they sat down again to rest and recover their strength.

Xiao Ruiyuan frowned and locked his eyes tightly on the water. The snake swam away for a long time without seeing anything strange. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the vast sky without knowing what he was thinking.

Master, here it is! Xiao Jiu came over with a freshly roasted hare, interrupting Xiao Ruiyuans meditation.

Xiao Ruiyuan looked back lightly, and was about to reach out to take it. When he saw that his hands were stained with dirt from nowhere, he stood up and planned to wash his hands before eating.
