"Huh——"
Lu Ji kicked away the corpse in front of him.
The half of the corpse's concave head was connected to the wound with only skin and flesh. With her kick, the corpse turned over and pressed the head underneath, while warm blood continued to spray out. Lu Ji bent down and tore off a piece of rag and wiped the dirt from the bloody shoes.
"I have been worried just now."
After wiping, she threw the rag aside.
The cold murderous intention that had been immersed in the army all year round softened his eyebrows and added a bit of a relaxed smile. He said to Gong Shuwu: "I'm afraid that the enemy's ambush will appear somewhere, which will be troublesome. Fortunately, Wu Yun Changlong, everything goes well."
Lu Ji and others successfully intercepted and killed the grain-carrying troops in the Northern Desert.
The number of baggage and the size of the troops are completely consistent with the previously intercepted information. The strength of the grain supervisor is two levels higher than what Gong Shuwu judged. It seems that Beimo is really interested in this batch of food and grass. The route here is remote and heavily protected.
No matter how sophisticated the layout is, it cannot overcome the gap in strength.
It cannot withstand dimensionality reduction attacks at the intelligence level.
The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, ambushing them intentionally but not intentionally.
The loss of our own troops and horses is still within expectation.
Gong Shuwu reluctantly suppressed the stronger reaction in his heart and seemed a little absent-minded. At this moment, he knew that he could not make a rational judgment: "Zhi Zong, how do you think this batch of food and grass should be dealt with?"
< br>Lu Ji put away the heavy hammer on his shoulder.
“Poison, or pour fire oil on it and burn it on the spot.”
She had been paying attention to Gong Shuwu's spirit. The latter's state was not right. When she realized this, the relief in her heart disappeared and was replaced by caution: "We can't take this food and grass away, and we can't leave it behind." Northern Desert.”
Destruction is the wisest way to deal with it.
Gong Shuwu said: "Poison."
The sound of burning oil was too loud.
The centralized burning of grain and grass on such a large scale is like setting up a beacon tower to warn the other side of the Northern Desert. It can easily expose one's position. It is better to poison directly, which will cause less noise and quick effect.
Lu Ji nodded and gestured to the deputy general.
The soldiers and horses brought out by Gong Shuwu were all elites, and they were specially trained to restrain the usual tactics of the Northern Desert. He had invested four or five years of hard work in this. The order was given, and the soldiers carried out it in an orderly manner. Each bag of grain and grass was cut open and sprayed with highly toxic liquid. After finishing this, only half the time of burning incense has passed. The army spontaneously gathered into a regular formation and left quietly.
At this moment, the night is getting dark.
The scribes accompanying the army used their words to form formations to absorb sound, so the army did not make any unnecessary noise as it moved forward. Even a person with sharp ears and eyes would find it difficult to hear any unusual movement if he listens with his ears instead of seeing with his eyes. Gong Shuwu led his troops to kill two groups of Northern Desert soldiers and horses. Although the soldiers and horses were not exhausted, it was not suitable to continue fighting. Lu Ji then proposed to approach the camp.
The safety is higher if it is close to the camp.
If you run into trouble, you won't be alone.
Gongshu Wu nodded coldly.
No one but him knew how fast the heart in his chest was beating at the moment. The speed and force were so fast that he couldn't help but suspect that his heart would jump out of his throat.
Bang bang bang bang——
The heartbeat is getting faster and faster!
Finally, he tightened the reins sharply.
Gong Shuwu didn’t know how ugly his face looked at this moment.
The horse braked sharply. Gong Shuwu tightened the reins to control the horse to turn its head, and blurted out: "You can't go this way!"
Without any brain thought, it was all instinct.
Because they were on their way back to the camp at this time, although the army was surprised and puzzled, no one raised any objections. It may be that the scouts in front discovered something and they were all ready to change direction. It happened that at this juncture, Lu Ji's ears caught something.
She summoned a double hammer and looked up at the sky.
Shouted: "Something is coming down!"
Other generals also responded quickly.
Raise your head and be alert.
Only Yu Zi suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her eyes were about to burst.
She stared at the object falling from the sky for an instant. The hands holding the reins were shaking uncontrollably, and he was gritting his teeth to prevent himself from making a sad sound. Gong Shuwu stepped on the saddle, jumped high, and used a strong palm to catch the falling object.
The falling object is a person.
A man with obvious bruises on his neck and a weird twist.
Everyone who knows a little bit knows that this man's neck was crushed by outsiders with strong finger force, and no cervical vertebrae survived. Without the support of his bones, his head turned downward at a strange angle. His eyes were still open, as if there was still lingering light in his eyes, filled with endless attachment to the world. Judging by his attire, he was a scout. Judging from his appearance and characteristics, he was a scout from Shiwu.
Yu Zi didn’t know when she ran to Gong Shuwu’s side.
He said hoarsely: "Who killed him?"
The scout was no longer breathing.
The corpse still retains the temperature of a normal person.
Obviously he was killed not long ago.
General Gongshu put the scout's body down, and at this time two more bodies fell from the sky, and they died in the same way.
A crisp, one-shot kill.
Gong Shuwu stared intently at the dark night.
Raised his hand and turned into a weapon: "Get out!"
At the end of the horizon, dots of fire rose and fell like stars, gathering in their direction. Gong Shuwu didn't need to look to know that these were soldiers and horses from the Northern Desert, and their general took the first step to kill his own scouts and retaliated with the scout's corpse as a provocation!
Yu Zi withdrew her gaze from the corpse.
The vaguely red eyes were full of cold murderous intent.
In the empty sky, a stream of martial energy accelerated and fell to the ground. With a bang, the streamer fell to the ground and stirred up a strong wind of yellow sand. The ground also trembled under this pressure, and it was like a victorious dragon turning over. A figure walked out of the yellow sand.
As the yellow sand flies away and fades away, the figures gradually become clearer.
Gong Shuwu's expression gradually changed from solemn and alert, to confusion, astonishment, shock and endless disappointment, and finally settled on a waveless indifference. Although the warrior who walked out of the yellow sand was only mature and persevering, without the immaturity of a young boy, that face was one that Gong Shuwu had seen in his dreams many times and was familiar to his bones.
He could recognize the other person with just one glance.
But, precisely because of this, he was even more disappointed.
This man killed all three scouts.
His nephew, Gong Cheng.
The snow-white baby who was lying in swaddling clothes, being coaxed in his arms, sucking his fingers and giggling, has grown into what he is now. If his eldest brother was still alive, he didn't know whether he would be more relieved or heartbroken: "Gong Yunchi——"
The word Yunchi was something he and his eldest brother had thought about for a long time.
Gong Cheng did not expect that his identity would be revealed.
However, I wasn’t too surprised.
Many people in Shen Youli's account have seen him.
He only needed to take a look at the bloody battles of Gong Shuwu and others to know that the heavy troops and horses could not be saved, and there was no need to support them. Gong Cheng's eyes fell on Gong Shuwu, who was wearing a visor, with only a pair of resolute eyes showing on his face.
Asked casually: "What happened to that batch of grain and grass?"
Yu Zi said bitterly: "Destroyed!"
Gong Shuwu stretched out his long arms and blocked Yu Zi back. One of the three dead scouts was Yu Zi's personal guard, whom she bought from the Shiwu Slave Trading Market. At that time, he was dying and didn't look like he would survive. Yu Zi found a doctor for him and left the rest to fate.
I never thought that this person had a strong will to survive and survived the life and death crisis. Since then, he has been following Yu Zi to repay the kindness of saving his life. Although his cultivation talent is not high, he is an excellent scout seedling. With a little training, he is no less than an ordinary scout. As long as Yu Zi has been with the army in recent years, he will definitely appear in front of the battle. After Kang Guo was stabilized, he also helped train many outstanding scouts.
Yu Zi originally wanted to transfer him to her side.
However, he refused.
Until today, in front of the death array.
No matter how powerful the scout was, he couldn't hide it from the 18th-level concubine chief, let alone survive the opponent's killing move, so he died.
Gong Cheng didn't care who he killed. Not only him, but other brave warriors would not ask the other person's name or where he lived before killing someone. Yu Zi's emotions could not arouse him. A slight disturbance: "The food and grass were destroyed? Was it burned?"
If the food and grass were burned, he would be more than a little late.
I didn’t waste any time on my way.
The only thing to blame is that the information from Bei Desert is too slow.
Gong Shuwu said: "It's not burned, it's just poisoning."
This was said to Gong Cheng, but his eyes kept falling on the soldiers and horses brought by Gong Cheng . Judging from the distance of the fire, it would take some time for the Northern Desert soldiers and horses to march in full force. If we want to have a chance, we can only leave people behind to stop Gong Yunchi.
If we wait for reinforcements from the Northern Desert to arrive——
Our own soldiers and horses are afraid that this place will be ruined.
I am not afraid of team battles with Bei Mo. What I am afraid of is that there is an eighteenth-level concubine sitting in Bei Mo. When the two sides fight, there is almost no suspense about the outcome. These thoughts lingered in Gong Shuwu's mind, and he made a decision: "Gong Yunchi, I have some connections with your fathers and others, and I know something about your Gong family."
Gong Cheng frowned and looked at it. Gong Shuwu.
Ever since he decided to help Brother Tude repay his kindness, he knew that he would inevitably run into an "acquaintance", and he was prepared to be pointed at by the other party and scolded as an unworthy descendant. However, when these words came out of Gong Shuwu's mouth, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
“Senior, what do you want to say?”
Gong Cheng suppressed the strangeness and sourness in his heart.
Sighed: "Do you want to clean up the family for Gong?"
Gong Shuwu shook his head and rejected this statement.
"I am not a member of the Gong family, so what qualifications do I have to clean up the family for the Gong family? As long as you have a clear conscience for your choice, be worthy of heaven and earth, and be worthy of the ancestors, what can I, an outsider, say?" Uncle Gong? Wu has no hatred towards his nephew because he has not experienced the hardships Gong Cheng has suffered over the years and cannot empathize with him. Naturally, he is not qualified to criticize him as an uncle. As an adult, Gong Cheng can take full responsibility for his own choices, as long as he doesn't regret it!
Gong Shuwu’s words were beyond Gong Cheng’s expectation.
The tone was gentle: "Are you trying to make love?"
It's not that you can't be accommodating.
As long as it's not too obvious.
Gong Cheng's words came from the bottom of his heart. After all, he couldn't let go of them all in just a day or two, so he said: "It's okay to kill half and let half go."
But Gong Shuwu had a different taste in his ears. He looked at his unfamiliar nephew in front of him, his eyes calm with disappointment: "I would like to ask for advice, Chief Gong Dashu!"
Gong Shuwu opened his mouth to invite a fight.
Gong Cheng had no choice but to comply.
This is based on the most basic respect for brave warriors.
However, Gong Cheng still had to remind him.
"You are not my opponent. Even if you delay with your life, how many moves can you make to delay them?" In the face of the absolute strength gap, these words are cruel and very realistic. If Gong Cheng was serious about it, Gong Shuwu could only parry five moves and he would die!
Gong Shuwu sneered: "You don't have to worry about it! Life and death are determined by destiny. If you can die here, you can still smile!"
He ordered Lu Ji to lead the troops. The horse retreats.
He stared at Gong Cheng for a moment.
Gong Cheng said: "Why bother?"
It won't take long for the Northern Desert pursuers to catch up.
Gong Shuwu’s actions cannot change the outcome.
Lu Ji's eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with grief and anger, but he still gritted his teeth and accepted the order, and pulled Yu Zi up to mount his horse.
“Withdraw!”
The army evacuated, and the [General’s Five Virtues] were added.
Although the five virtues are not all present, there are still four.
There are not many literary scholars who can achieve this level. Gong Cheng glanced at the source, and when he met Yu Zi's fierce and cold eyes, he said: "It's very outstanding, but it's a pity."
Because they started late, there are few female scribes, and even fewer of them are outstanding. Yu Zi in front of her is obviously one of them.
It is indeed a pity to die tonight.
He did not attack Gong Shuwu first.
Gong Shuwu didn't take any action, but his momentum increased at an abnormal speed. He soon broke through the upper limit of the top among the thirteenth level, and he continued to climb up.
Gong Cheng said: "Secret technique?"
This is basically trying to keep the bottom of the box.
Even if Gong Cheng is not a killer, people will never survive that kind of thing. Gong Shuwu did not respond. The energy of heaven and earth around him formed a vortex with him as the center, triggering a hurricane, and nearby rocks and land were also swept up into the sky. On the other hand, Gong Shuwu's face was flushed and his skin was abnormally hot. The underwear under the armor was quickly soaked with sweat and dried by the heat.
Wet for one round, dry for one round.
Wisps of blood mist emerged from under the armor.
Finally, Gong Shuwu's momentum reached its peak at the fifteenth grade. He raised his hand to grab it, and gathered the sword in his palm. The blade was sharp, cutting iron like clay: "Yunchi, are you afraid of ghosts?"
His voice sounded much lower and hoarse than before.
Both the voice and the accent are somewhat familiar.
Gong Cheng didn’t understand why he was asking this. He just thought he was stalling for time and said in a good temper: "There are no ghosts in this world. Even if there are, ghosts will turn around and run away when they see me."
Gong Shuwu laughed heartily.
"Not afraid? Hahaha, just not afraid!" Gong Shuwu's next words surprised Gong Cheng. He was so surprised that he didn't even bother to agree to retreat. He changed the marching direction halfway and divided his troops into two groups. , the elite soldiers and horses of the North Desert were attacked in an arc from two sides, "Let me see, the warrior's intention can only be activated once in a lifetime!"
The warrior's intention?
Just four words aroused Gong Cheng's interest.
The meaning of a warrior is different from the way of a scribe. The former can only be understood with a certain chance between life and death. It can be said to be one of the highest honors of a brave warrior. Gong Cheng has come into contact with so many brave warriors over the years, but he can count them all on one hand with the intention of being a warrior.
What does it mean to be a warrior?
Can it only be activated once?
【Be born to be a great person! 】
Twisting traces of blood flowed from Gong Shuwu’s seven orifices.
【Death is also a ghost hero! 】
It’s the winter solstice again ヾ(ゞ)
I had a blast today and made two bowls of sesame glutinous rice balls!
[I can’t imagine the heat, but as long as I close my eyes and don’t think about it, I will treat it as zero fat and zero sugar]
Although the sun is out, the temperature is still below zero, and the keyboard is made of aluminum. , turning on the heating couldn't save my almost frozen fingers, so I decided to change my keyboard.
