The death of the deputy commander-in-chief of Tuman City's police officers was supposed to be a major event that shocked the city's yamen and people, but everything was cut short by a sudden incident.

The cause of the matter must start from Huanggu City, which is far away from Tuman City.

Near Huanggu City, there is a large slave trading market, also known as Huangshi. A year ago, the slaves in Huangshi worked together to capture the managers of the market and the stewards of many cities, and exchanged them for a lot of money and food.

.

After that, the slaves in Huangshi completely raised the banner of resistance against the rulers and nobles of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, and the trend became more and more intense.

In the towns near Huanggu City, some small and inconspicuous families even secretly contacted the slaves in Huangshi to send them money and food.

Not long after this, Huanggu City was captured by slaves.

The higher-ups in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom did not want to meddle in this matter, and did not take the slaves' resistance to heart, so they passed on orders from level to level and concealed the matter.

Later, things intensified. The slaves in Huangshi not only occupied Huanggu City, but also successively occupied several cities and more than a dozen towns of various sizes. Many civilians and slaves even joined their ranks. This caused a stir.

It attracted the attention of the domestic superiors.

It was also under this circumstance that the leader of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom learned that slaves had launched a resistance movement in the country.

Moreover, I heard that one of the initiators was actually Ke, the son of You, the leader of the previous slave movement, and the other leader was Ke's father-in-law.

This incident made the leader of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, who was far away in the royal capital, furious. Especially the fact that You's son "resurrected from the dead" made him feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly. In anger, he immediately ordered to behead

Killed the general who was responsible for arresting You's family.

After killing someone, he suddenly realized that killing a general before a battle was not unlucky.

But by then the man had been killed and it was too late.

In a hurry, the king had to temporarily appoint a new young general to lead his troops to attack the revolting slaves. But this time, he made another fatal mistake.

That young general was the son of the general he had killed earlier. The starting point of the leader of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom was also very simple. In order to make up for the guilt of killing the old general impulsively, he promoted his son.

But there is a saying that loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends.

This son of a general was a very filial son. His father had just been killed by the king, but he himself wanted to be the murderer's executioner, killing so many low-level people. His dissatisfaction with the king suddenly disappeared.

Then he reached the top.

Therefore, the general's son sent someone to contact Ke's father-in-law, hoping to conspire with him to overthrow the current leader of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.

And the ruler of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom did not have incompetent people around him. Just after the general's son was appointed, a prime minister named Qiqian reminded the ruler not to appoint this filial son to go on an expedition.

But the leader of the Southern Man Kingdom insisted on this and refused to listen to the advice. Seeing that the advice was useless, he had to resign and return to his hometown.

Not long after, something happened to Feng Yu, the son of the general who left the royal capital. He led an army of 50,000 men, and under the banner of the current leader's ignorance and immorality, he echoed with them from the north and south, and began to capture the cities of the Southern Barbarians.

In recent days, the slave team led by Da is about to attack Tuman City.

After the yamen in the city learned of this, many officers on duty had already fled with their families. The city was in chaos and order was left unattended.

And the death of this deputy commander was so mysterious that naturally no one cared about it.

Especially after learning that this person had betrayed the former slave leader You, those in the yamen who had not escaped chose to turn a blind eye.

This night.

Outside the barracks of the slave rebellion army stationed ten miles outside Tuman City, a young man was welcomed.

"Stop anyone who comes! Give your name!"

The young man was pointed at by the soldier guarding the gate with a weapon, but there was no timidity on his face. Instead, he smiled and bowed his hands and said: "Please tell me that an old friend is coming to visit."

"Master Ke, is it something you can see whenever you want? Who are you, Mr. Ke's old friend?"

"Brother, you only need to inform Mr. Ke, and he will know."

Another soldier next to him said: "That's right, there are so many people who want to see Mr. Ke all day long. Do we all need to help inform them?"

After being reminded like this, Nian finally reacted and took out a golden ticket and handed it to the soldier, "Is this okay?"

"Hey! This is easy to talk about. Please wait a moment, brother." One of the soldiers took the golden ticket and looked at each other. Then one of the two soldiers left his post and headed not far behind.

There are multiple levels of security here, and the soldiers on the outermost perimeter have no direct access to the highest-level commanders. They just have to communicate with the generals who manage their camps.

When the general guarding the camp heard that it was a young man named Nian who was looking for Ke, he immediately ran to the outermost perimeter.

When he saw Nian wearing men's clothes, he was a little confused at first, but he quickly calmed down and asked very politely: "May I ask if you are Lord Ke's sister, Miss Nian?"

This man was the slave who had guarded the gate in Huangshi and reported a letter to Ke, so he knew very well that Ke had a sister named Nian who left Huangshi a year ago and never came back.

Nian did not know the general who was guarding the camp, but he still said: "I am wearing men's clothes because women's clothes are inconvenient, and I would like to ask you to tell my brother that Nian has come back to see him.

"

"Girl, you're welcome. My name is Wu. Just call me by my first name."

Nian nodded, "Excuse me, Lord Wu."

"Don't dare, please wait a moment, miss." Wu was unsure of Nian's identity, but he didn't dare to neglect him. He quickly ran to the Chinese army camp and reported it to the soldiers guarding the camp.

Hearing this, the soldiers entered the camp and informed Ke.

At that time, Ke was discussing combat matters with his men. When he heard that the New Year was coming, he left the camp and ran to the outskirts of the post.

Keman said with excitement: "A-Nian, is that you?"

Nian smiled and said, "Brother Ke, long time no see."

Ke couldn't help but take her hand and walk towards the barracks, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my current command camp."

Nian felt that this was inappropriate and tried to persuade Ke, but could not overcome his persistence and had no choice but to go.

In the Chinese army camp, a general in white was studying the combat sand table with his head down.

After Ke came in, he introduced him head-on: "Commander Bai, this is the sister A Nian I told you about. A Nian, this is Commander Bai Hua Bai, who is currently our scout president."

Commander Bai raised his head and saw Nian. He quickly smiled and said, "I have long heard that Mr. Ke has a younger sister. Now that I have seen her, she is really smart."

When Nian heard this compliment, he felt that Bai Hua was really good at talking. She hadn't said a word since she came in, and this person only glanced at her. How could she know that she was smart? It was just nonsense.

But she couldn't put her hand out to hit the smiling man, so she quickly raised her hand and said, "Master Bai, you are being polite."

"Hello, Miss Nian."

After the two of them greeted each other, Bai Hua wisely said goodbye and left, leaving the brother and sister Ke and Nian to reminisce in the tent.

The brother and sister haven't seen each other for a long time, and they have a lot to say.

Ke told Nian one by one their major actions over the past year, and Nian also told Ke all about his experiences over the past year. They talked until it got bright in the morning, and then they went back to rest.
