Chapter 287: Prisoner Trial (1)
The horse official led Chu Xiaomu to the horse pens of different sizes and said, "Brother Chu, take your pick of the horses you like best! If you don't know how to choose, I can help you choose one. It will definitely be the best and most handsome one."
Chu Xiaomu said, "Just help me lead any horse, as long as it can run." He looked down at Qisheng at his feet and thought to himself, if there is any horse that is the best and most handsome in the world, which one can compare to this little guy Chenghuang? Only then did he realize that among the black hair of Qisheng, there was a hint of dark gold, and there were actually a few hairs of different colors.
The horse official then noticed the black pony beside Chu Xiaomu's feet and said, "That's strange, which pen did this little guy run out from? Come on, follow me back to the stable." As he spoke, he reached out to catch Qisheng.
Qisheng was also very irritable, and he pushed the horse officer upside down with his eyes wide open. Chu Xiaomu quickly helped him up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this little guy doesn't come from any stable, he follows me every day, and he doesn't recognize anyone else."
The horse official climbed up while cursing, "This little beast has such a bad temper..." Before he could finish his words, he was knocked down by Qisheng again.
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "Don't underestimate it because it's small. It has a bad temper. It's best not to say bad things about it. It can understand."
The horse officer had no choice but to hold back his curses. He held his breath and got up from the ground, saying, "I won't curse you... That won't do. The army has a rule that all ponies born while herding horses outside belong to the Bicheng Army and cannot be owned by the army."
Chu Xiaomu thought, it would be best if you could help me raise him. It is really inconvenient to have Qisheng following me around every day, and it is often dangerous. But what if he doesn't recognize me when he grows up? He hesitated for a moment.
At this time Ling Weidou came running over and said that a soldier was here to urge them to go to the central army camp and gather there so that they could go to the general's camp to ask for merit.
The horse officer first congratulated Chu Xiaomu and said, "The general is always generous. Maybe he will let you, brother Chu, be an officer of the main camp or a small camp..." His envy was evident on his face. Chu Xiaomu said a few polite words and urged him to bring a horse out quickly.
The horse official picked out a good horse from the stable and handed it to Chu Xiaomu. He also helped him tie the bridle, put on the saddle, and put on the stirrups. Finally, he watched the two of them lead Qinglu away. When he wanted to go back and catch the little black colt and whip it a few times to vent his anger, the black little horse had already run away and disappeared.
Chu Xiaomu led everyone to wait outside the central army tent.
Soon, Zhou Bo, wearing silver armor, walked out of the tent with the help of two soldiers. He was stunned to see his mount Qinglu standing by the side, and then he turned to the two soldiers and gave them an order. One of them took Qinglu away. Zhou Bo was helped by another soldier to a carriage. His injury had not fully healed, so he could not ride a horse.
Then Xiao Zhenrong arrived with Wang Gu and his entourage of soldiers, followed by a clanging horse-drawn carriage. It was a sturdy prisoner car made of solid iron, and inside was none other than Li Ji, the leader of the Claw Clan.
When Zhou Bu saw that everyone had arrived, he ordered the soldiers to ride their horses towards the general's tent.
Lin Zhen, Zhang Hou, Wu Sheng and others were very excited at the thought of meeting the famous General Bi Ye, but they just followed behind the two central army commanders Zhou Bo and Xiao Zhenrong and did not dare to shout loudly.
Along the way, many civilians discovered that a monster with black bird claws on its hands was imprisoned in the prisoner's car, and they all ran to see it. Many people already knew that the Claw Tribe had attacked Green City without any reason, so they picked up stones and dirt from the ground and threw them at the Claw Tribe monster in the car. Li Ji couldn't dodge, and his blood stains made him look even worse.
The temporary camp of the Nanding Army was located in a remote area in Bicheng. Zhou Bo did not urge his horse to go faster. It took him a meal's time to reach the general's tent in Bi Ye. He ordered everyone to dismount and wait.
After the sergeant reported, Bi Ye's burly figure walked out of the tent. Although the weather was still a little cold, he only wore a thin blue cloth shirt, and disdained the cold wind on the grassland; he wore a pair of sheepskin short boots with embroidered soles, and walked steadily and solemnly, like a big iron bell moving steadily; his expression was calm, without showing sadness, joy or anger, and his slightly sunken eyes shot out a brilliant light, which made everyone feel incomparable awe. When Lin Zhen, Zhang Hou and others saw him, their hearts were pounding. It turned out that this was the famous General Bi Ye, the spiritual king of Cangmu Kingdom in the four countries. It turned out that they had never seen such an outstanding person!
Bi Ye's eyes swept among the crowd and finally fell on the iron prison van.
Zhou Bo had already gotten out of the carriage, and stood by the shaft, saying loudly: "The horse herding team of the Nanding Army has captured Li Ji, the chief general who invaded Bicheng this time. I am reporting this to the general!"
Bi Ye's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Bring it up here for me to see."
Wang Gu pulled the prison cart on horseback and brought it to Bi Ye.
Bi Ye looked at the miserable Claw Clan thorn disciple in the prison car and asked, "Your name is Li Ji?"
Li Ji was starved by Chu Xiaomu and others for several days and almost starved to death on horseback. After entering Bicheng, Wang Gu, the chief officer of Nanqianying, ordered people to feed him two small pieces of stinky and bad meat to prevent him from starving to death. After all, this guy might still be of some use.
Li Ci's claws and feet were disabled, but he had recovered a lot of his energy after eating last night. He looked up and down at Bi Ye with hungry wolf eyes, and suddenly he started to laugh strangely.
Wang Gu said angrily: "This is the mighty General of Bicheng, you ungrateful monster of the Claw Clan, be quiet!"
Bi Ye didn't say anything, but just stared at Li Ji with his eyes motionless.
Li Ji's heart started beating fast when he was looked at by him. He laughed until he stopped making any sound. Only his strange mouth was wide open. The muscles on his face were twisted, which looked extremely weird. His eyes were gradually filled with fear. He opened his strange mouth and groaned for a while before he said, "Bi Ye, it's Bi Ye... It's really Bi Ye!"
Bi Ye said, "Yes, I am Bi Ye. I have met your Spirit King Yan Zhua several times before, so we can be considered old acquaintances."
Although Li Ji was afraid, he still said, "Since I have fallen into your hands, you can kill me if you want! We, the warriors of the Claw Clan, are not afraid of your Cangmu Nation's methods!"
Bi Ye said: "We in Bi City don't have any tricks. We can only defend ourselves against any enemy with our generals. But we do have some tricks to make sure your little Claw Clan can't attack Bi City and never get back."
Li Ji was secretly delighted, thinking that you, Bi Ye, were unworthy of your ability. You still thought that only my Claw Clan was attacking your Bi City. You didn't expect that the Eye Clan, Tooth Clan, and Hoof Clan were gathering their armies and would soon march south, right? Haha!
