Chapter 51: Whose Bird is Bigger?

  For someone like Yun Zhong, sneaking into the Liao army's camp wasn't a difficult task. The hard part was finding a specific person within such a large camp. If he were looking for Xiao Tian Suo or Qing Hua's tent, that would be easy - just pick the largest one and it wouldn't be far off. The problem was that Yun Zhong wasn't looking for those two people; he was looking for Xi Luo, who was just a Jianghu figure. Who knew where Xi Luo would be assigned in such a large camp?

  Damn it, this is really damn it. Why did the masters under Jin Da Shi's pen never get lost when exploring, but as soon as Ben Shao Shuai came out, they got into this situation? Damn it, not even asking someone for directions is possible - this is the Liao army camp, I'd be afraid to go ask in Han language, they probably wouldn't even understand.

  Huh? No, no, it's okay if low-ranking soldiers can't understand, but there's no reason why mid-to-high ranking officers can't understand Chinese. After all, the Liao Empire has a dual-institution system, and while the Northern Institution is comprised of Khitan nobles, the Southern Institution is made up of people who speak Chinese... Alright, let's take a look around and see if we can catch a relatively high-ranking officer to ask for directions.

  Yun Cong explored all the way, sneaking into a relatively central location in the Liao army's large camp. The tents here were significantly larger than those on the outermost periphery, but smaller than those that couldn't be approached further inside. Yun Cong estimated that this circle should be where the thousand-household-level military officers lived. He stealthily crept to the outside of a tent and listened intently.

  Who would have thought that not listening was better, but after hearing it, I was startled to hear a man's urgent gasps coming from inside the tent, mixed with some intermittent "hmm, hmm, uh, uh" sounds.

  What the... Is the Liao army's discipline so poor that they can bring women along on a campaign and still have time for hanky-panky at night? Cloud Ting's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but pull out a military dagger from his right leg and quietly cut open a small slit in the tent. With hope in his heart, he pressed his eye against the opening to take a peek... Damn it! Cloud Ting almost cursed out loud when he saw what was inside. He silently cursed his bad luck, for all that was happening inside was just a Liao army commander in his thirties...

  Your grandma, you really have a lot of energy and nowhere to vent it, right? Wu Xue didn't say that the main force of the Liao army marched almost fifty miles today, which is quite exhausting in ancient times. I didn't expect someone to be so spirited, truly... powerful!

  Yun Cong held the dagger in reverse, creeping hand and foot into the interior, when suddenly he had a feeling that his movements were very similar to those of Meng Xinghun holding a dagger and advancing stealthily in the classic wuxia fighting game "Flowing Star Butterfly Sword".

  Yun Cong's playful heart suddenly rose, thinking that with his current abilities, if he used the moves from the game, it shouldn't be too difficult, right? The ordinary officers of the Liao army in front of him were all without internal energy, purely relying on physical strength to fight, what a bunch of novices, why not try out some moves on them?

  Yun Xiao chuckled secretly in his heart, now that it was nighttime, he would let the energetic Liao army commander taste a move called "Upper A" (the game move "Night Demon") first.

  However, Yun Zhēng's hopes were soon dashed. The Liao army commander let out a few urgent grunts, then scattered some seeds on the ground and that was it...

  He was going to swing his dagger at the guy's descendant root to scare him, but it seemed hopeless. Yun Zheng secretly regretted and felt that the smell in the room had already become unbearable, so he didn't want to stay any longer. He hurriedly accelerated and swiped his dagger before the Liao army commander could put away his thing...

  That thousand households only felt a flash of cold light in front of Xiao JJ, and suddenly felt a slight coolness below, his heart was greatly shocked, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to touch it. When he took it out to look at it, it was already covered with fresh blood. His heart ached, and he was about to shout loudly. Yun Zheng smiled secretly in his heart, afraid now? He hastily stretched out his left hand to cover his mouth, and his right hand held a dagger against his throat, saying in a low voice: "If you don't want to cut off your offspring, be honest, don't shout or yell. Now it's just a little skin broken, but if you dare to disobey my meaning, I'll cut this thing off for you to drink by yourself!"

  The Liao army's thousand households were so frightened that they trembled with fear, and asked if they should use their own birds to make wine? Joking aside, I've been trying to curry favor with my superiors for years, not to mention sending them half of my military salary. I even helped him gather 200 empty salaries, just to barely mix in as a thousand households. Last month, I married my third concubine, and if my precious bird were to fly away like this without any reason, what kind of man would I be? It's too unjust!

  These thousand households almost didn't think twice and decided to cooperate with Yun Zheng, hastily nodding repeatedly, indicating that they would definitely work well with the young master.

  Yun Cong nodded in satisfaction and released his hand, asking: "What position do you hold in this army?"

  That thousand households of Han language was quite fluent, as soon as he heard Yun Zhēng's question, he hastily said: "Great hero, please enlighten me, I am the Qian Hu of the Northern Garrison, whatever you want me to do, just say it, and I will do it without fail..."

  Huh? Yun Cong was taken aback for a moment, how come he's so cooperative? This young hero - oh, I just got promoted to great hero - I was just about to solemnly point out the evil nature of the Liao army's imperialist aggressive war, and this guy has already understood my meaning and is willing to abandon his dark past and contribute his due strength to our Great Wei's anti-imperialist aggressive justice cause? Hmm, not bad, not bad, he has a future, I like smart people who know how to seize the moment.

  "Hmm, very good, very good. It's clear that you're a clever person, and clever people are great! Clever people can live to be 100 years old, and they won't fall even if struck by a golden spear... Cough cough, anyway, since you're a middle-ranking military officer, your rank isn't low at all - do you know of someone named Xi Luo from the Jianghu?"

  "Know, know." Then Qian Hu hurriedly said: "Xi Luo the Great Hero... Oh, I mean Xi Luo the Old Thief - is a second-class worshiper of Langbao. Although I'm not familiar with him, I still recognize him."

  "Hmm, I know him, it's good that you know him." Yun Zheng nodded and asked with a relieved expression: "Then do you know where he lives now?"

  The thousand households continued to nod: "I know, I know."

  "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the birds to fly?" Yun Zheng glared at him.

  Qian Hu's face turned sour and he stammered: "G-great hero, c-can we t-talk about s-something?"

  "Hey! I thought you were a promising kid, but it turns out you're speaking nonsense right away! Do you have the capital to negotiate with Ben Da Xia?" Yun Zhentao said in a gloomy tone, his face twisted.

  "The little one naturally knows that without capital, he can't discuss terms with a great hero like you..." This guy looked like he was about to cry: "But you have to let me bandage the bird and put it back, or... or this blood will flow for a while, and who knows if the bird will be able to fly again?"

  Yun Cong almost burst out laughing, but he forcibly suppressed the laughter in his stomach and put on a surprised expression: "Oh, this is indeed not my fault, I actually forgot about your bird——then you should hurry up and wrap it up and put it away——" He glanced at Qian Hu's small JJ with disdain and said: "A bird of this level dares to be taken out and shown off? Hmph."

  That thousand households, as long as their own birds are safe, being despised by Yun Zheng a few sentences is not considered a big deal. As soon as Yun Zheng agreed to "collect the bird and return to the cage", he hurriedly said: "That's right, that's right, my little bird can't be compared to your divine bird, of course, your bird is bigger, just like the heavenly eagle, mine may have been quite confident in daily life, but compared to you, it can only be a small sparrow."

  Yun Cong was blown away by this most shameless praise, and suddenly didn't know whether to cry or laugh, completely speechless. Is Laozi a divine bird? A heavenly eagle?

  Alas, in this world, I'm still a rookie!
