Reborn to Love Lord Qiansui Chapter 109 part 2

Chapter 109 Her actions (2)

They were more cunning and ruthless than the wolves on the grassland. Many brave Xiongnu warriors had fallen under their swords. Furthermore, they always carried out one principle when they killed people: kill when can, plunder when can. Arson went even smoother. In short, this group of people were demons and robbers in the eyes of some small tribes!

This group of people appeared a month ago. They suddenly appeared a month after the battle with Great Liang. When they first appeared, they didn’t attract anyone’s attention because when fighting with them, the Xiongnu found out that they were very weak and had the inherent cowering aura of the soldiers of Great Liang. They even escaped in a sorry state. However, what surprised the Xiongnu were that they never changed their strategy even if it was a failure. They attacked again and again until they became the nightmare of everyone.

The ghostly black troop had a mysterious leader who made everyone afraid. Like all the black armored soldiers, no one had seen his true face. All the Xiongnu who had seen him could only see a slender and tall figure. This figure looked very weak in their eyes, but he led a group powerful ghostly black soldiers that brought them endless fear.

Their horses were not slower than those of the Xiongnu and their weapons were sharper. When facing the enemy, they were more ruthless and crazier than them (X). They also didn’t hesitate when it was time to retreat. How could they (X) beat such a troop?

What was even more hateful was, they never fought against the Xiongnu who were ten times more in numbers than them. Their strategy was often sneak attacks. Due to this, many small tribes of the Xiongnu could only grit their teeth with hatred, but they were helpless. Smaller tribes were directly exterminated by them. After the panic that happened when Lin Qing was rescued, the uneasiness was quietly ignited again on some places that the Xiongnu court didn’t attach importance to. Perhaps, Muke wouldn’t put importance on them until they became the panic of the entire grassland. However, wouldn’t it be too late then?

Two months has passed. Spring had passed and autumn returned. Zhao Zimu and her subordinates took a pause recently. That was right, the one who lead people to cause storms on the grassland was her.

Because only this way could she make her people face the coming winter quicker and would be able to harvest the heads of the Xiongnu when they come to invade. Furthermore, it could establish her outstanding military service.

It was unavoidable that there would be some casualties when she led the troop, but her immediate superior didn’t cause trouble for her. This was not only because of Chen Jin’s intervention. The most important thing was that every time she returned with the troop, she would often send him products she got from the grassland. Yun Sen turned a blind eye to her actions because not only did this person have powerful backing, she was also tactful. Furthermore, he liked the special products and gifts she brought back to him from the grassland. Moreover, he finally understood how the elite troop under him was trained.

Yun Sen was shocked. He even got the idea to let Zhao Zimu help him in drilling the troops. Not only did the harvest that Zhao Zimu brought back from the grassland made him moved, her troop could also crisscross on the grassland without care for the Xiongnu.

Also, no matter how capable Zhao Zimu was, she was his subordinate. If she could perform well on the battlefield, he would also receive a lot of credit. However, because of some things, he still suppressed this idea. He just turned a blind eye to what she did; didn’t interfere nor obstruct.

As a result, the subordinates led by Zhao Zimu became a special existence in the entire northwest army. Because the soldiers of the northwest were very close to the Xiongnu, some people also heard the rumor. They knew that there was a troop that appear and disappear like a ghost on the grassland and did things that made Xiongnu be so much in pain as to not want to live anymore. It wasn’t that they hadn’t suspected that this was related to Zhao Zimu, but rumors were rumors after all. No one would dare to speak nonsense without real evidence, not to mention that they didn’t believe that this was done by their troop of hundred.

The more rumors the Xiongnu spread about the ghostly black troop; that they were mysterious and godly, the more the northwest army didn’t believe it because it was impossible for such a talent to appear in the entire northwest army. From their point of view, even if that small commander Zhao Zhong was very outstanding, it was impossible for him to train the hundred people under him into the ghostly black troop that caused the Xiongnu to be terror-stricken in just two months.

With this doubt and inquiry, those who looked for trouble came.

When Situ Yuanxiao appeared in front of Zhao Zimu, Zhao Zimu was making her men run on the field. In other words, it was a punishment.

Because it had been several days since they went to stroll on the grassland, Zhao Zimu’s subordinates became a bit restless yesterday. So, in order to dispel their restlessness, after Zhao Zimu got up early in the morning, she let them run behind one after another horses for one round.

Hence, Situ Yuanxiao saw such a scene when he came to their camp. In the cool sunlight of late summer, a hundred men were chasing one after another horse on the large field. Sweat and saliva flew together. The dust and heat danced together. A group of people panted like a big Shiba dog. Three people followed behind them, waving a whip in their hands and shouting loudly.

“Do you bastard know that you are wrong?”

“Report, we are wrong!”

“What did you do wrong?!”

“For being despicable!”

“Is this answer good?!”

“Not good!”

“Do you still dare in the future?!”

“We will only follow sir’s command!”

The voices were resounding, making Zhao Zimu who was immersed in a book about the art of war, raise her head. She looked at the group of running people and smiled, “Not bad, run faster.”

The soldiers who passed by her were excited instantly and said loudly, “Thanking commander for your praise.”

The whole troop ran faster. With a smile on her face, Zhao Zimu casually picked up a small stone from the ground and said softly, “Good, as a reward for your attitude, I will give you additional reward!”

As soon as these words fell, a cherry-sized stone flew to the buttock of one of the running horses with a whistling sound. After a long neigh, the irritated maroon horse stomped and ran faster, making a smoke of dust.

The soldiers chasing behind the horses, “…”

Commander, we are wrong…

Situ Yuanxiao, “…”

That bastard Yue Wu who was far behind the frontline laughed happily took joy in their calamity and said, “Little ones, faster! There are still ten more! Hahahaha!”

The soldiers of the troop of hundred, “…” Commander, sir Wu is even more despicable!
