The long horns kept ringing, and the army gradually moved away.

Not long after Jiang Hu led his subordinates to leave, a team of Qin army pawns with only 300 people galloped out of the remaining veins of Yinshan in the distance. Almost every horse had a large string of heads hanging on its butt, and several horses were carrying bulging leather pockets.

Hearing the sound of withdrawal horns coming, three hundred soldiers kept whipping the war horses as the captain's scolding. As the war horses neighed, they flew straight towards the lake with mud and dead grass.

"Report~~ Report to the General, Captain Ying returned safely and was rushing from the Dahu location!" A horse galloped to Jiang Hu's side, and the soldiers on the horse's back reported loudly.

"Are you back?" Jiang Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked Jiang Bu to follow the army and then turned around to greet him with hundreds of guards.

Ying Bu was indeed just a captain, and the martial arts rank was only sixth level, but this battle was able to come back safely. According to his military merits, he could be promoted to level five or above, so he could easily run away from his long-term mission. This military merit was enough to be promoted to the commander in the military barracks and become middle and high-level generals from then on.

The most important thing is that Ying Bu is a subordinate of the Hou of Qinghe, and has also been personally commended by the emperor. If Jiang Hu is dead, he will naturally be shameless to go back to see Hou of Qinghe, so he has always been very unhappy. Although Hou Ming of Qinghe said that life and death does not matter, if he really doesn't take good care of him, the Hou of Qinghe will definitely be unhappy. This is human nature, and what he says is definitely not the same as what he thinks in his heart.

Therefore, since the war began, Jiang Hu kept Ying Bu by his side. When he was rushing, he would arrange for Ying Bu to pick up cheap money and get credit for him when he saw a chance. However, Ying Bu was indeed as Chen Xu said, with great martial arts and meticulousness. Not only did he kill the enemy, but he also watched all directions and listened to all directions. He also blocked an arrow for Jiang Hu during the battle of the Xiongnu Royal Court. Although the arrow penetrated two layers of cowhide armor and only had skin injuries, it still scared Jiang Hu to the death. If Ying Bu had not blocked him, the arrow would have probably hit him in the neck. It was obvious that a sharpshooter in the Xiongnu Royal Court wanted to kill him, the highest general of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, Jiang Hu was both grateful for Ying Bu and was also grateful, and also had the intention of repaying Qinghe Hou.

Ying Bu's life and death can be said to have made him struggling for five days. He regretted that he agreed to let Ying Bu chase the fleeing Hun nobles at that time. Now that he heard that Ying Bu returns safely, Jiang Hu naturally suddenly fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, and his mood was extremely happy.

Jiang Hu whipped wildly, and the four hooves of the war horse flew over the Qin soldiers walking neatly beside him. All the soldiers couldn't help but look at their general's excited expression and were puzzled.

Ying Bu was also leading the 300 subordinates with disheveled armor and mud all over the body to gallop towards him. They all looked extremely exhausted. Many people were still traumatized by swords and arrows. Some even tied themselves to the horse's back with vines, and they were running around and tilted. The whole team seemed to be unable to hold on.

Five hundred when he left, more than three hundred when he returned, and almost everyone was injured.

The head of Yingbu was wrapped in a linen, and the blood that had bleached out had solidified and turned black.

Looking at Jiang Hu who was coming towards him, Ying Bu pulled the reins and the galloping horse slowly stopped, and the soldiers behind him also slowed down.

"Report to General, Ying Bu is slow to return. Please punish him!" Ying Bu jumped off his horse and staggered and knelt in front of Jiang Hu on one knee.

"What's wrong with Captain Ying? Please get up quickly!" Jiang Hu jumped off the horse before he could stop, and stepped forward to help Ying Bu up. He enthusiastically hugged him before looking up and down at Ying Bu. He found that there were at least ten arrow wounds on the leather armor on his body, and solidified blood was oozing out from many places.

"The Captain Ying volunteered to chase the Huns that day. He suffered so many arrows. He must have fought against the enemy several times. He is really a warrior!" Jiang Hu patted Ying Bu's shoulder and praised loudly, his face full of joy and couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

"It was indeed a series of hard battles, but in the end, my subordinates caught up with me and killed nearly 500 people all the way. The group of escaped Hun nobles also killed two of them. My subordinates had already brought them back!" Ying Bu bowed and said.

"It's good to come back as soon as you come back. The men and women all suffered with them. All the injured will arrange for treatment and care here first. After some recovery, they will go back to the barracks. Others will be registered with military officials. In this battle, everyone will have great achievements. After returning, they will naturally reward them for their merits!"

Jiang Hu helped up the soldiers behind Ying Bu one by one, especially a few of them were seriously injured. They were almost at a point where the oil was exhausted and the lamp was exhausted. If they were not treated, they would probably last for less than a day.

"Thank you General!" All the soldiers bowed together, and then there were guards who informed the medical staff and nurses who accompanied the army to treat and reband the wounds.

When the doctor untied the armor on these people, he found that they were almost covered with bruises and many people were still wearing arrows. The same was true for Ying Bu. He had a severe injury on his back and right leg, and the arrows were still inserted in the flesh and blood. Fortunately, the weather is cold and not inflamed. Otherwise, if it was spring and summer, these wounds would be deadly.

After a busy hour, Ying Bu and a group of soldiers who had disappeared for five or six days were properly treated and placed. Those who were seriously injured and unable to act remained in the camp next to the lake and asked the officials responsible for supervising slave construction to arrange for people to take care of them. After recovering in a few days, they were sent back to the camp by carriage. The rest of them could still be held up and followed the large army.

"Person Ying, I told me to return immediately if I couldn't catch up on it that day, but you kept chasing me. If you had any good things, how could I explain to the Marquis of Qinghe?" After catching up with the large army, Jiang Hu and Ying Bu rode the horse at the end, while Jiang Hu was a little complaining.

"The general was forgiven for his crime. It was snowing heavily that day, so he soon got lost after entering the mountain. He could only follow the sound of horse hooves of the Huns in front of him and chased them for a day and a night. After the heavy snow stopped, he found that he had already penetrated a hundred miles into the mountains. Then he was discovered by the Huns. After several battles, the Huns died and injured hundreds of them, and the school also suffered hundreds of casualties. The crossbow arrows were almost exhausted, but they dared not return. They were afraid that they would be even more dangerous once they got lost in the mountains. Therefore, their subordinates had to lead their own arms to continue to deal with the Huns. After a day, the Huns also ran out of arrows. We then fought with the Huns in close combat. Fortunately, the Huns were brutal, but they were still killed by us and fled in all directions. Then they killed only two nobles. The others either fled to the deep mountains and forests or crossed the Yinshan Mountains along a small path to escape into the desert..."

"There are some paths in the mountains that lead to the desert?" Jiang Hu was surprised.

"Yes, although the mountain road where the Huns escaped was rugged and difficult to walk, it was indeed a small road. You can also see some Hu Man picking wild fruits on the mountain. After passing through the mountains, I actually saw a group of weird people with red hair and high noses..."

“Hahahaha~”

After Ying Bu said this, the group of guards following Jiang Hu laughed. Even Jiang Hu couldn't help but smile and said, "Captain Ying, those are not strangers, but Yuezhi people, but the survivors of the Yu tribe of the ancient Yan Emperor. They are all red-haired, big bearded, high noses and deep eyes, which are very different from those of the Central Plains. After Huangdi conquered Yan Emperor, Yu fled to the west. He had fought several times with my Great Qin before, but they were all beaten like wild dogs. Now they can only hide in the desert on the back of Yinshan!"

"So that's it! My subordinates are from Chu. My ancestors lived in the southeast for generations and were not familiar with the tribes of Hu, Qiang and Rong in the northwest. Thank you for your doubts today. Otherwise, you would have to make a joke after returning to Xianyang. When I saw it that day, my subordinates thought it was a monster!" Ying Bu said with a red face.

"Hahahaha, don't blame me, Yu is actually my ancestor of China, but he is just barbaric and disobedient to the king's transformation... By the way, I will see you bringing back a lot of spoils, what are the things in those leather bags?"

While riding the horse, Jiang Hu asked with a smile as he pointed to Yingbu's package trapped on the backs of the two horses.

"Oh, this is stolen from the hands of the Hun nobles and Yuezhi people. There are gold, silver and jade, and a bag of black bean-like things. It smells strange and has a spicy taste in the mouth. I heard that the Marquis like to make delicious food and like to collect various spices, so I took it back and gave it to the Marquis to see if you can make delicious food. Well, this is the thing..."

Ying Bu took out a handful of black plant seeds from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Hu. Jiang Hu took them and took them to take a look. He threw two more pieces into his mouth and chewed them for a few times. After nodding slightly: "Not bad, spicy and full of strange fragrance on his mouth, it is very refreshing. It should be a very expensive spice!"

"What the General said is that the nobles were unwilling to abandon these inconspicuous things until they died. They thought they were very expensive. I don't know them, but I might know them at first glance when I took them back!"

"Qinghe Hou is good at making delicious food. He must like this gift. It seems that after I go back, I will also arrange for people to search for the nobles' spoils to see if there is anything else that is not available in the Central Plains. I will prepare some to send to Qinghe Hou. Maybe I can get a meal..."

"It's so extreme. I've eaten dry naan every day for more than two months. Or I'd eat the roasted half-baked beef and mutton. Compared with the delicious taste made by the Marquis, it's just like cow dung. It's really hard to eat. After returning to Xianyang this time, I must go to Qinghe Hotel to have a big meal to satisfy my craving..."

"No, don't forget to call me!"
