Chapter 160 160: Wolf Smoke [Please vote]
Zhai Le knows one thing very well.
If he hadn't been protected by martial arts armor just now, the knife would definitely have chopped him into two neat pieces from his right shoulder to his left waist and abdomen.
There are cracks on the shoulder armor of the martial arts armor. I can't help but strike the same spot a second time! The next cut will definitely break it!
By then——
Zhai Le could almost foresee that scenario - if he was lucky, he would just lose his arm, if he was unlucky, he would die young where he was!
But so what?
He grinned, showing his blood-stained teeth. The young man's peach blossom eyes were brighter than ever before, and he transformed into a red tassel hooked sickle gun.
Gong Shuwu is not as relaxed as he seems.
The young talent is almost terrifying.
Perhaps even Zhai Le himself didn't realize that he was making progress all the time. Even if this progress was not obvious, it would bring different surprises and pressure to Gong Shuwu every time.
If Zhai Le can live to adulthood, no, in just two years, surpassing him will be certain. It’s not scary if a person has talent and understanding. What’s scary is that he still works hard.
Gong Shuwu regained his composure and saw that Zhai Le's fighting spirit was high. Not only was he not depressed by death, but he became more courageous as he fought.
I couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay! Just in time!"
A soldier against a soldier, against a general.
In the latter, our side had the upper hand, but in the former, the balance gradually tilted towards the enemy. Chu Yao and the two were also helpless about this. After all, their own number was small, and the leader of the martial arts soldiers was still focusing on the enemy, and could not continuously repair the martial arts.
The number itself is a disadvantage. One of the martial soldiers died one less, and the gap gradually widened. Therefore, the overall battle situation still looks like a stalemate, unless - the leader of one side is killed!
Either Zhai Le was beheaded, or Captain Yang!
Coincidentally, Zhai Huan thought the same way - either the strong man with the scar would be killed, or the ninth- and fifth-level doctors would kill him.
The eyes of him and Chu Yao were dim. One was about to raise his hand and the other was changing gestures with his fingers in his sleeves. They were about to activate something literary and spiritual. But at this critical moment, something that no one had thought of happened. Something unexpected happened——
Suddenly, a snow-white bright light rose from the bottom up, trailing a long tail along its path, a bit like a shooting star.
However, whose meteor does not fall from the sky?
This light rising from the ground is like the whistle arrow Zhai Le used to warn everyone, but the whistle arrow is not so powerful and the warning distance is not that far. The light exploded at the highest point, and a streak of fireworks disappeared in an instant. Was it a firework?
As if to respond, the same light rose from another place in the distance, the third, fourth, fifth...
Each one is separated by a long distance distance.
Shen Tang didn't care about this. She only had Captain Yang as her enemy in front of her. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to it. The thought of being able to take the enemy's head off his neck made her whole body tremble.
Impulsiveness, bloodthirsty, excitement, pleasure!
This feeling made her whole body feel comfortable!
Pounce——
The edge of the sword penetrated the flesh, splashing a large amount of blood.
It turned out that Captain Yang lost consciousness for a moment, and the shoulder armor of his upper arm was cut open by the edge of the sword, leaving a half-knuckle deep wound.
The sting made him frown.
The Wen Qi body protection applied by Zhai Huan in the next moment allowed him to avoid Shen Tang's second fatal blow. He suddenly changed his previous life-threatening rough fighting style, uttered a word in his mouth, and jumped up , ride on a tall war horse that turns from virtual to real while running wildly.
Seeing that he wanted to run away, Shen Tang was so angry that his eyes were red.
Is this bullying her for not having a horse?
Who says two legs can't run as fast as four?
“Are you going to kill me or intercept the tax bank?”
Shen Tang was puzzled: “Is there a difference?”
The obstacle in front of me is to protect the tax bank. The evil dragon, you can get the treasure by killing him. Is there any essential difference between the two?
Captain Yang had a livid face and stared at Shen Tang's scarred face unwillingly, and said viciously: "If you want tax money, I'll give it to you!" Shen Tang: "...???"< br>
On the other side, Zhai Le and Gong Shuwu also stopped with a tacit understanding.
No, to be precise, they stopped when they saw the several groups of light rising one after another. They knew what the light represented.
It's "Wolf Smoke"!
The so-called "wolf smoke" is the fireworks lit at the beacon tower when the border guards discover the enemy. However, those were the definitions of more than two hundred years ago. Today's "Wolf Smoke" has been slightly modified, and its properties and principles are similar to the "Whistle Arrow" shot by Zhai Le previously.
Different colors of "wolf smoke" represent different meanings, and the meanings of "wolf smoke" in different regions and different countries are also different. But no matter what it is, the rising smoke means there is war.
How could Captain Yang not know?
This wolf smoke means returning aid.
Regardless of any cost or loss, return to support the state capital!
At this moment, we are still in Sibao County.
The representative of the state capital is Xiaocheng.
Captain Yang was so angry that his eyes turned red.
If it is an ordinary trouble, why raise the smoke warning? Therefore, he was unwilling to give up the tax money for protection and chose to lead his troops back to check the situation! Not only because of the military order, but also because his family and relatives are all in Xiaocheng.
The other important thing is that if you continue to fight, the best result is that both sides will lose. He even suspected that the group in front of him was the same as the enemy who caused the smoke to rise in Xiaocheng. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Therefore, he needs to test with words!
If Shen Tang agrees, it means no.
If you insist on beating, there is probably something fishy.
The fire around them was bright, everyone had wounds on their bodies, and half of Captain Yang's face was stained red with blood. He endured his anger and injuries, gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood foam: "How are you doing?"
Shen Tang tilted his head and looked at Captain Yang indifferently.
To be honest, she really wanted to take Captain Yang’s head.
But the words changed when they came to his mouth.
"Okay, let's leave, but keep the money."
With red eyes and a hoarse voice, Captain Yang gave the ceasefire order and led the remaining 800 people to retreat in the direction they came. Zhai Le covered his chest to calm down his raging breath, took a deep look at Gong Shuwu and Shen Tang, gritted his teeth, and summoned his war horse.
During the ride, he snatched away his cousin who was about to reach the end of his literary career.
Gong Shuwu did not take advantage of the situation and let him leave. During the battle, there will always be evil, but if both sides jointly cease the war, then sneak attacks will be the behavior of villains. Not long after, only Shen Tang and more than two hundred martial soldiers were left in the temporary camp.
When Qishan and Qi Shan came, Shen Tang was still a little confused: "I was fighting life and death just now, why did you suddenly retreat after saying retreat?"
"Mostly because of the smoke."
"Is that the smoke? Are they going to come back for help?"
Chu Yao looked solemn: "I'm afraid that's the case."
Together Shuwu took back his martial armor and martial arts soldiers, and exhaled heavily: "What situation is more important than these taxes and money?"
Chu Yao asked: "You don't know even half a step?"
Gong Shuwu sneered.
“How do I know?”
The Xin State was destroyed and the Gong family was exiled. He only received a salary from the Xin State and never served for the Geng State. How could he know that under the rule of the Geng State What do the various kinds of smoke and smoke in Sibao County mean?
This is a military secret and cannot be leaked easily.

I went to dye my hair today. The effect I wanted was not obvious indoors, but slightly brown outdoors. The result - after three or four hours, my hair seemed to have not changed...
