"An insurgent army of refugees." Shen Yi said, "Old Cai's troops were divided more than half by the Black Iron Camp and the Northern Defense Army, only a small number of troops stayed behind in the Central Plains, struggling back and forth with them every day. They are only commoners who were forced into a dead end, not beating them would be no good, but directly beating them would not be alright either. Old Cai was so distressed that half of his hair has gone grey."

Gu Yun leaned against the bedhead: "How could it be so chaotic?"

"The problem concerning the riot of unemployed refugees from the area of the Central Plains to the south of Sichuan has always been there, just that before now, it had not reached a higher scale." Shen Yi said. "This time, someone had taken advantage of the situation and persuaded these refugees to form a few forces. Seeing that the country would soon fall into chaos, even the Black Iron Camp can be lost by half overnight, their courage had also become considerably bigger.

"In fact, you know, Zi Xi, over the years, I have always felt that it is not quite a good thing for the Black Iron Camp to be too renowned and vigorous. The one above being cautious is one thing. On the other hand, there are too many folk tales. In previous years, it could be used to deter some people with ulterior motives. But once the Black Iron Camp has an accident, even if it is only a gust of wind, it is too easy to shake the hearts of the army and the people."

The two men were relatively silent for a moment, then Gu Yun said: "Don't talk about this useless insipidity, how is the situation now? How many brothers of the Northern Camp are left?"

Shen Yi's face changed, momentarily not responding.

As Gu Yun saw his expression, his heart turned colder by half: "Where's Old Tan?"

Shen Yi put his hand on his chest to untie a Wind Slasher under the Light Armor and put it silently beside Gu Yun's pillow.

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, caught off guard. He accidentally touched a wound, gritting his teeth silently, he huddled over in pain.

Shen Yi reached out to hold him. "No, Zi Xi... Zi Xi!"

Gu Yun waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Where did the Westerners retreat to?"
