"Don't praise me, Vice Dean Feng, I was really nervous just now. ”

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly.

He was really gambling with his life just now.

Thankfully, he won the bet, and that was enough.

Timur Mutu is gone, and so is Kuma Zhiyan.

The remaining remnants of the Crow Army were only about 300,000, and they all fled.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Ling Xiao actually regretted that if he could kill Mutu or Kuma Zhiyan, it would be a perfect victory.

It's a pity that although the resourcefulness has been exhausted, the role of the strong is still too great.

"Qin Huo, pass the order, leave these corpses outside, return to Beimo City immediately, and rebuild the fortifications, the other party still has 300,000 people, and it may not be that they will turn around and come again. ”

"Obey!"

Although there are a lot of loot on the battlefield, Ling Xiao can't waste time picking it up, and everything is still his strategy to seek stability.

Although many houses were blown up in Beimo City, the overall structure is still there, and it should be no problem to arrange it as a defensive fortress.

However, when they arrived at the foot of the Northern Desert City, they found that the city gate was closed, and on the city tower, there were people they did not expect.

"Can't you think of it, Ling Xiao? We'll meet here again. ”

"Jia Yun!"

Ling Xiao's brows furrowed, and it was none other than Jia Yun of the Righteous Qi Alliance who was standing at the head of the city.

Because he was busy with the war before, Ling Xiao didn't know where Jia Yun, Ji Changran, and Wan Qiufeng had gone.

And now, they are all standing on top of the tower.

Of course, it is not only them, there is also a stranger, wearing armor, looking at the style and color of the armor, it should be about the same status as Ji Ning, he is also a general, and he is also a city lord.

"General Jia, since you are here to support, why do you close the city gate and let us in quickly, the Black Crow Army has already retreated. ”

Li Ruguang obviously knew the people on the city wall, and shouted loudly.

"Just because you can repel more than a million crows, why don't you believe it, unless you can carry the head of Kuma Zhiyan or Timur Mutu. ”

The general surnamed Jia said with a sneer.

"Is it an order from the imperial court?"

Ling Xiao asked suddenly.

"Hahahaha, you kid is smart, but it's a pity that smart people often don't live long! Ling Xiao, you colluded with the Black Crow Army, mutilated the Shenhuang soldiers, and even injured General Sikong, and you actually wanted to sneak into the city, wishful thinking!"

Jia Yun laughed.

Li Ruguang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ling Xiao: "There is no need to reason with them, seeing that they are now in full battle, I know that it has been more than an hour, watching us fight against the Crow Army and ignore it, and now they are biting back, these guys are not reinforcements, they are here to kill us, they want our lives!"

"If you want to live, you can hand over Ji Ning and Ling Xiao, and the rest of the people can be spared death, and they will only be assigned as slaves. ”

General Jia said lightly, as if he didn't treat the following people as human beings at all, and a casual sentence could decide the lives of countless people.

"Put your mother's bullshit, Ling Overseer's design to defeat the Crow Army and shock the Crow Empire is not only not guilty, but meritorious, how can you let it be caught casually. ”

Zhang Yufei scolded.

"General Jia, it's better to let the people into the city, and I'll lead the army to pursue the Black Crow Army. ”

Ling Xiao said.

"No, who knows if there are any of your spies in those mud legs, if we don't roll, we will attack, archers prepare!"

General Jia looked at the people below, and there was only contempt on his face.

"Withdraw!"

Ling Xiao saw that this guy was really going to do it, and he was shocked, and hurriedly shouted.

But even then it was too late.

Above the tower, arrows rained down.

The soldiers who were not killed by the Crow Army died tragically at the hands of their own people.

Under the rain of arrows, the casualties of the people were also extremely serious.

It's just that they believe in people too much, but I didn't expect these people to really dare to do it and dare to attack their own people.

"Jia Yun, Wan Qiufeng, Ji Changran, and all of you, if I don't die, I will kill you beasts!"

After losing almost two thousand people, the army finally left the range of the archers.

"Pass the order, first stationed in the North Desert Pass, and wait for General Ji Ning to wake up, and then see what to do. ”

Ling Xiao can't do anything with that General Jia now, because once the war starts, the name of this rebellion will be ironclad.

This decision must be made by Ji Ning.

Fortunately, Ji Ning's detoxification process is very smooth, and he should be able to wake up soon, and there is no shortage of food or anything for the time being, so don't worry, at least it will not be a problem to live in this northern desert pass for a month.

A day later, the Assassin reported that the Black Crows had halted their retreat and had set up a position sixty miles away from the Northern Desert City.

At present, there are about 350,000 people, but the whereabouts of Kuma Zhiyan are unknown, and Mutu has already sent someone to look for it.

"This is an opportunity!"

Ling Xiao stood up and looked into the distance.

The only reason General Jia wouldn't let them into the city was that they had no evidence that they had defeated the Crows.

But what if there is a human head of Kuma's words?

Ling Xiao called Qin Huo, Zhuge Ming, Li Ruguang, Zhang Yufei, Ji Mingkong and others and instructed: "After I leave, this place will be temporarily ruled by Qin Huo, waiting for the general to wake up, don't they want the head of Gu Mo Zhiyan, I'll go and get them back now, see what other farts they can put out!"

"I don't agree, it's too dangerous!"

Ji Mingkong was the first to stand up against it.

The rest of the people also wanted to object, but they were interrupted by Ling Xiao: "I'm not discussing with you, but I'm giving an order, don't let me repeat it a second time, although it's dangerous, but I have my own opinion, what you have to do is to defend the general, keep these people!"

After giving the order, Ling Xiao took out all the food in the world of mountains and rivers, and then left quietly alone.

Because he directly turned on the Shadow Armor and Shadow Steps, the people of Northern Desert City didn't know about his departure.

Ling Xiao is confident that although his strength is not as good as Timur Mutu, he will never lose to Timur Mutu when he finds someone.

A day later, his soul power searched for the whereabouts of Kuma Tomoko.

A hundred miles away, Kuma Tomogen was resting there under the protection of nearly three hundred guards.

Looking at them like this, they should return directly to the Crow Empire.

But that Timur Mutu was completely in the wrong direction.

Opportunity!

Ling Xiao hurried to catch up, and the shadow step was used to the extreme, and finally an hour later, he saw Kuma Zhiyan who was about to get up and leave.

Didn't remove the Shadow Armor, nor did the Shadow Walk.

Because Ling Xiao knew that his cultivation was not as good as Gu Ma Zhiyan, unless it was a sneak attack, it was impossible to defeat the other party.

However, when the shadow cone was still more than ten meters away from Kuma Zhiyan, Kuma Zhiyan suddenly threw the teacup in his hand out.

The wine glass burst open in the air, turning into crumbs, blocking the attack of the Shadow Cone as well.
