Chapter 15 - Gumo

　　The men could not be blamed for their lack of caution. 　　When the following morning, the distant lodging place was already empty, the two who came during the night had already left at dawn, and the night watchman woke up the scouts to follow them, confirming that the other party was indeed heading towards Gumo. 　　The foot side of a wolf carcass picked up in the desert, the wolf skin intact, the cause of death is only a small stone, from the eye socket into the head of the wolf, a blow to death. Less than twenty teenagers, precise and sharp techniques ...... those two ...... youths silently pondered, the heart surged under the layers of haze. 　　If it is really a visitor on Tianshan Mountain, what is the intention of going to Gumo? Gumo strength is far inferior to the turtle, sooner or later become the bag, even if there is a change will only bring a better excuse to find the war, but instead of seeking. 　　He is tired of being controlled by others, and once he is on the throne, he will never give the Demon Sect a chance to extort him. At present, the Guzi up and down on the Tianshan resentment and criticism, is the perfect opportunity to get rid of the domination. 　　Just ...... last night's a chance ...... exactly will bring what? Do not want to rush against the opponent who can not feel the origin, chose to monitor and watch, will it be a mistake. 　　Looking at the undulating and rolling sand dunes, for the first time, there is uncertainty. 　　The Prime Minister of Gumo was a middle-aged man. 　　Stoic and sophisticated, he greeted the sudden arrival of the Demon Sect's emissary without being overbearing. After a few polite pleasantries, he finally cut to the chase. 　　"Dare I ask what the honored envoy personally came to Gumo for." 　　"There is a small matter that I still need to rely on the assistance of the Minister of State." Jia Yu handed over a gift list with both hands, "This is my sect's greetings to Gumo, please believe in the sincerity of our visit." 　　"Your Honorable Envoy, if it is within my ability, I will do my best." Looking at the various treasures listed on the gift list, the steady Minister of State could not help but be surprised, such a heavy gift from a demonic sect is truly unheard of. 　　"I don't know what kind of matter is troubling Your Excellency." 　　The rough man at the side interjected, "I hope it's not to take the lives of important ministers as in the case of the Turtle Kingdom." 　　The sharp words caused the crowd to color. 　　"This is General Wolf Gan?" Kaya smiled faintly, knowing Gumo's heavy ministers by heart and not surprised that someone had spoken out of turn. "The general is a man of nature, and is quick to speak frankly. Recently I've heard that Gumozi has been practicing its army very strictly, meaning that in case war strikes the border, I don't know if the general has a good plan?" 　　The burly man puffed out his chest, his bravado booming. 　　"If Turtle Zi dares to come to violate the border, Gumo will be on standby and teach him to have no return." 　　Kaya smiled politely. "This is really the best, it is rumored that Red Art is quite skilled in leading an army, and his use of troops is bizarre and changeable, and he has fought with the general several times. Today, I see that General has a clear mind, I think he must have already figured out how to deal with the battle?" 　　Wolf Gan was speechless and his face turned red. 　　Everyone in the room knew that Gumo had been defeated in several battles, so how could he still talk big? 　　The Prime Minister coughed lightly to break the awkwardness. 　　"Gumo country is small, not compared to the prosperity of Guzi, Your Excellency think also heard. But the country has national prestige, even if the power can not win, will not retreat when the battle is approaching, thank you for your concern." 　　"Minister of State is too modest, Gumo's generosity, courage and perseverance in resisting the invasion of Guzi, this sect has always admired." Jia night hanging eyelashes shallow smile, "but I have heard rumors, said Gumo this year's harvest is not good, and there are horse thieves looting outside, to and from the caravan have been plundered, the financial resources greatly reduced, if the tortoise invasion ...... at this time." 　　Spit out a sentence word by word to kill, even the state minister can not help but change color. 　　"Your Excellency this kind of words exactly what is the intention." Wolf Gan sternly questioned. "Could it be that you have traveled all the way here specifically to mock Gumo?" 　　"General where are you talking about, this sect has always been on good terms with Gumo, so how could there be any reason to gloat about it." Jia Yu's face was solemn, concerned and solemn. "The Red Art is practicing troops, intending to take advantage of Gumo's calamity to invade and win the throne through battle success, your country still needs to set up defenses as early as possible." 　　"The situation is aggressive, my country is not unaware of it, just ......" After a long time of silence, the prime minister sighed. "Your Honorable Ambassador knows so well, can you have a good prescription to give advice?" 　　The other party's aura lowered, Jia Yu did not hesitate to open his mouth. 　　"I wouldn't dare to say a good prescription. Turtle's power first in the red art, if you can get rid of the red art military power, cut off the road to his succession, turtle must be mainly self-defense, within a few years will never trespass sword, Gumo can be expected to an also." 　　"This who do not know, if not red art, afraid of him a bird." Wolf Gan could not help but speak foul language. "Could it be that your envoy is willing to remove this great danger for my country on account of Gumo's yearly tribute?" 　　"Between the two countries, assassination is too petty, besides, once you provoke the Gu Moz but even drag your country into it, Jia Yu would never dare to be the sinner." 　　She easily shrugged it off, Wolf Gan suffocated his face and twisted it, nearly cursing. Who doesn't know that the Demon Sect shocks the Western Region with its style of assassination, but now it is saying that the means are not bright enough, it is really a big joke. 　　"However, eliminating the threat of the Red Art is a matter of borrowing the General's power." Laughing at Wolf Gan's angry face, Jia night words suddenly turned, the crowd froze for a moment, for a while the prime minister to speak. 　　"Dare to ask your honor what do you mean?" 　　Fifteen days later. 　　Gumo's army assembled to conquer Guzi. 　　The army started off, the battle flag flying, the procession made up of thousands of people stretching extremely far, between the array of swords and spears, no one paid attention to the fact that there were two young figures. 　　Wrapped in a gray cloak, Kaya followed the tent on horseback. 　　After several days of marching, they finally arrived at the border of Gumo in Guzi. 　　The Chiju, who had heard of the disturbance, was waiting on the other side of the border, and the lights of the two camps could be seen from afar. You can even hear the faint sound of the signaling of orders. 　　The moonlight reflected off the iron armor, reflecting the cold, chilling light of the metal. 　　"This is the first time I've participated in a march, and the taste is quite fresh." Jia Yu gazed at the camp under the night, countless tent lights and shadows swaying, the occasional sound of a golden watchman's voice, reflected against the stars in the sky, revealing a strange stillness. 　　A hazy white mist puffed out from his tiny lips, and his eyes were as bright as starlight. He did not look at the camp and went up to add an extra cloak for her. It was nearing mid-autumn, and the wind had begun to wrap around the snow. 　　"Shujing." 　　"Uh-huh." 　　"Do you think that would be too harsh a tactic?" 　　Kaya rarely asked such a question, and he froze for a moment, answering non-positively. 　　"There is no other way." 　　Whatever the reason, the Godfather would not allow failure. It didn't matter what kind of person Yaris was, and the Godfather didn't care what caused the trouble, leaving it to his ruling subordinates to measure. Looking down on all kinds of quarrels from above is one of the pleasures of those in power. 　　Whether it was in the past letting the left and right angels fight in secret, or today condoning Yaris' arrogation of power, it was all a game of chess that the Godfather played at his own will, there was no room for excuses or defenses, and those who were incompetent would naturally be eliminated without mercy, which he had already seen very clearly over the years. 　　Kaya laughed softly, flushed with a touch of faint mockery. "You're right, there's no other choice." 　　Akatsuki wanted a war, so he was given that chance. But the outcome of the battle might be beyond the Kamehameha prince's expectations. 　　"It is the winners who are entitled to survive, whether it is them ...... or us." 　　The low living words are tiny and inaudible, she stretches out her fine white fingers to meet the snow that flutters down in the middle of the night, and the broken small snow star stops in the long eyelashes of the black hair, just like the jade person in the dream, not stained with dust and smoke. 　　The war lasted half a month. 　　There were countless deaths and injuries. 　　Gumo in terms of battle array is not a rival to Hejutsu, only barely struggling to hold on. 　　Eventually, peace talks began, which was also a calculated result. 　　Jia Yu sat quietly in the center army tent, waiting for Wolf Gan, who had returned from the negotiations. Before long, a general in armor lifted the curtain and entered with a chilly air. 　　"Did the general's trip go well?" 　　Wolf Gan's face was extremely ugly, it was not hard to understand, as a general of a defeated army participating in peace talks, it was not a pleasant thing to do. 　　"It went as you said it would." He replied gruffly, tossing the helmet in his hand onto the case with a resounding thud. "Wolfgang is an old man who doesn't understand that a fight is a fight, and has to get into some scheming and twisting and turning." 　　"A trivial scheme, making the general laugh." It was as if Kaya Night had not heard the dissatisfaction. 　　Wolf Gan, rough by nature, couldn't hold down his intent and still took off his mouth. "This kind of underhanded trick is really not on the stage, if it is not the state minister's instructions, I ......" 　　"General straight, naturally do not see this kind of trick. However, the enemy is strong and I am weak, for the time being, please have the right to endure." 　　"Admitting defeat is not enough, but also have to look at the face of the other side to make reparations and beg for peace. Gumo's reputation is so disgraced that it will sooner or later become the laughing stock of all nations." Having never experienced such a strange humiliation, the rough general was furious. 　　"Endure the humiliation for a time, and you will be rewarded for the rest of your life; the general will be able to consider the length and weight of the situation." 　　"Is there no other way? Even if the red art child is wildly tricky, using this kind of trick is too ......" Wolf Gan contemptuously rebuked. "Only the Devil Cult can think of it." 　　Jia night is still smiling, eyes gathered like a needle prick. 　　"General this is not true, the red art to soldiers as horse thieves to infest the Gumo means, but even Jia night also self-sigh like." 　　"Are you saying that the horse thieves are the work of Gumo?" Ring's eyes were as wide as bronze bells, and after staying for a moment, he laughed dryly in disbelief. "How can you see that, don't believe it." 　　"Its behavior is like electricity, its traces are like a mystery, it is unpredictable, and it is not possible to pursue it." Jia Yu coldly raised his eyebrows, "Does it look like an ordinary thief to the general?" 　　"Nor does this prove that it is the work of the Turtle Zee." Wolf Gan was alarmed and skeptical. 　　"Gumo's elite troops have repeatedly purged the horse thieves who have found nothing, everything they do is aimed at blocking commercial travelers from entering the city, and they are willing to take strange risks and only operate in a specific area, hasn't the general ever suspected the reason for this? I'm afraid that the Prime Minister also has doubts in his heart, but he can't speak without evidence." 　　Slim white hand tightened the cloak, before leaving the door and look back, cold voice does not hide the irony. "The military is tricky, the battle array is not open first out to kill, sand field for many years, the general even this point of reasoning do not understand?" 　　The north wind rolls the snow into the tent. 　　Staring at the swaying tent curtain, the mighty general froze in the hall.
