er is a Langzhong of the Ministry of Justice, second only in rank to the Minister and the two assistant ministers. A mere squad of soldiers, he could summon them at his whim. Just say it's my order, a...Chapter 1700: I Just Want to Survive

War broke out suddenly.

The sudden reversal of the Guza tribe was something no one, including Xiao Shenghe, had expected.

This was due to the small population of the Guza tribe, allowing them to prepare early. It was also thanks to centuries of oppression and abuse inflicted by the Liao Kingdom upon the Guza tribe. Although they wore the uniforms of the Liao army, the Guza warriors had no sense of belonging. Therefore, when they wielded their swords against other Liao soldiers, they felt no psychological burden.

When Xiao Shenghe saw Gu Zaiyelo leading people straight towards him, he widened his eyes and shouted sharply, "Gu Zaiyelo, are you crazy!"

Guzailo didn't answer at all. Instead, he drew his bow and arrow, riding his horse that galloped swiftly forward. He bent the bowstring and shot an arrow in one fluid motion.

Xiao Sheng reacted with incredible speed, instinctively ducking down and gripping his horse's belly with all his might. Though his posture was awkward, he managed to narrowly avoid the arrow.

Guzailyo, seeing his attack fail, glanced at the warriors of Guza tribe who had gathered and successfully protected Zhao Tailai and Su Pingbei. The two armies were closing in together, preparing to break out quickly. He then spoke to Xiao Shenghe: "Xiao Shenghe, if you still value our past friendship, then let them go. Otherwise, I will kill you today!"

Gu Zhai Luo and the Gu Zhai tribe's rebellion had caused Xiao Shenghe's plan to fail. Seeing that Su Pingbei and his men were about to break through, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Are you intentionally stalling for time!"

"Kill! Kill them all!"

"If we let one Qin soldier escape, the prince will blame us all and we'll be finished. Kill them all!"

After issuing the order, Xiao Sheng turned to Guzailov and said sternly, "You dare to rebel against the Liao Kingdom Do you know this will bury your entire tribe with you!"

At this moment, Guzaiyue had rushed to Xiao Shenghe's front, she coldly smiled and slashed out with a sword, which was firmly blocked by Xiao Shenghe.

"Burial For hundreds of years, my Guzha tribe has been oppressed by your Liao nobles. Rather than being treated like livestock, it's better to fight with all our might. Perhaps we can create a future for ourselves."

Xiao Sheng was left floundering under Gu Zayilo's relentless assault, struggling to keep up. In terms of martial prowess, he simply couldn't match Gu Zayilo's strength.

"Guzayilo, even if you ran today, as long as the Crown Prince finds out, with a single order, your tribes on the grassland would be wiped out. Don't you fear that!"

Gzailo sneered, "Guess what Since I dared to make a move, how many people are left alive in my tribe on the grassland"

Xiao Shenghe widened his eyes, in an instant, he understood everything.

"You are the traitor!"

Xiao Sheng gritted his teeth, almost spitting blood, "I thought there was a mole, but I never expected it to be you! You hid so well!"

"I am not a traitor."

Guzaylo said coldly: "Has the Liao Kingdom ever regarded our Guzhay tribe as one of its own If there were even a shred of belonging, I would not have risked so much by rebelling. But since you don't treat the Guzhay tribe as human, then my rebellion is naturally not that of a traitor."

"I just... need to survive!"

The living word fell to the ground. Gu Zaiyilo's blade descended like a silver river, slashing down. Xiao Sheng roared in anger, using all his strength to block it.

With a single slash, blood illuminated the sky.

Xiao Shenghe only felt his hands go empty. The weapon in his grasp was cleaved in two by Gu Zaiyuo's blade!h a gentle smile, Zhao Xuanji bowed and said: "General Su hasn't been to court for over ten years. Now that he has left the General's Mansion, he must be seeking fame and fortune."Su Zhen-ting said ca...
