Episode 55 (2)
The night breeze crept through the night, occasionally touching the dwarf grass on the ground, making a slight rustling sound.
"It's really lucky to be able to go out with the commander this time, you don't have to charge into battle, you can conquer the city, and you can record a lot of military exploits when you go back. In the enemy camp, a patrolling soldier whispered to his companion while patrolling.
"Yes," the soldier agreed, "plus the bounty given before departure, and when you return, you will be able to buy enough livestock for your family." β
"Go back to what, win this battle, the land of the Shang Kingdom is ours, and there are women. β
"Ha ......"
"You two, don't talk nonsense, patrol carefully, turn around and be known by the marshal, be careful of military law. The soldier behind him couldn't help but remind when he saw that the two of them were talking energetically. "Dashuai said that the prince of this Shang country likes to sneak attack, and his previous brothers have died at his hands, so let's be careful. β
"I'm angry when I talk about it, Dashuai is conniving at that mountain boy in Shangguo. He killed so many of our brothers, we should avenge them, kill them too, and wash Zhang Yecheng in blood. β
"That is, there are millions of people in our army, and even stepping on Zhang Ye has been flattened. β
"Okay, the more you talk, the more energetic you get, are they not as good as you, and you won the battle along the way?"
"It's true that we won the battle, but did you and I go to the battlefield with a knife and a gun? What do you have to be proud of? The marshal only knows that he is with that strange man, and has he ever looked at us soldiers since he went out on the expedition? Now we are a fart in his eyes. β
"Brother, that's not what you said just now. β
"There's nothing wrong with us, we have military merits, but it's not the credit of actual combat, it's the credit of decoration. β
"That's enough, you two, if you don't want to be a decoration, just shut up and patrol well, if you are mixed in by the enemy, you won't even have a chance to be a decoration. β
The soldier who spoke was about to refute, when he saw the captain of the patrol coming, hurriedly closed his mouth, his face was red, and he stroked his waist knife with one hand, and continued to patrol with the team.
The moonlight was fine tonight, and the moonlight illuminated the camp of the Participating Army clearly. The blue-black tents were entrenched around the camp like a whirlpool, and in the center of the whirlpool was a large and ornate deerskin tent, which was the tent of Xiao Musen, the commander of the participating countries, and the lights in the tent had been extinguished. The soldiers patrolling around them walked softly past the tent, not seeing a figure flash out of the tent behind them.
As the night deepened, the moon streaked across most of the sky, and a red light quickly swept behind the military camp of the participating countries, drawing a graceful arc. Immediately afterward, clusters of light rose one after another. It's firelight.
"It's on fire!" exclaimed a voice.
"It's on fire! The grain cart is on fire. One voice after another shouted, one after another. The whole military camp was in an uproar.
A bright light appeared in the tent of the handsome Xiao Musen, and Xiao Musen walked out of the tent in neat armor. "What's going on?" he snapped.
A soldier immediately stepped forward to report, "Sir, our grain and grass truck has suddenly caught fire, and the fire brigade has rushed over. The circumstances are unclear, but it is certain that there was deliberate arson. β
"Well, did you catch the arsonist?"
"Not yet. β
"Got it, go down. Xiao Musen looked at the fire not far away, the fire should have been controlled, but their food loss should be not small. His gaze was converging, and he used his own way to govern others, and it seemed that he had underestimated Xiao Qingran, the temporary prince of the Shang Kingdom.
The black shadow that flashed out of the tent returned, standing beside Xiao Musen.
"Did you catch it?" he asked faintly.
The black shadow shook his head and stretched out a slender hand with his palm upwards and two red beans in his palm.
"This Xiao Qingran also has a powerful character like you around him, no wonder. β
"Insect carving skills. The dark shadow said faintly.
Xiao Musen sneered.
Zhang Yecheng, inside the Prince's Mansion.
"Well done, Xiaohai!" Lu also expressed surprise and great appreciation to Xiao Hai, who had returned from the military camp of the Participating States. The others also agreed, and treated them in the same way, and they had been trembling for so long that they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was time for the enemy to know what it felt like the army's grain and grass to be burned.
Xiao Hai, who was the hero of this time, was expressionless, as if he had never done anything, as if the group of humans in front of him praised another human, and it had nothing to do with him anyway. "I'm going to see the princess. He came to this council hall just to tell them the result of his visit to the military camp according to the princess's request, who would have thought that they would be so noisy. As soon as his words fell, he disappeared from everyone's eyes. caused another exclamation from everyone. Especially the guards of Zhang Yecheng, they saw the incredible spiritual power for the first time.
"Now we have the strength to confront the participating countries. β
"It's just a small tribute to the participating countries. β
β¦β¦
Lu Ye was also laughing, echoing everyone, but he knew that tonight's sneak attack was only this time, and after the enemy was prepared, it would not be easy for them to succeed. It's a good start, though. They began to counterattack the main forces of the participating countries.
In the princess's living room, Xiao Hai lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, standing silently in front of Princess Yu Zimo.
"Are you running out of two red beans?" Yu Zimo sat on the soft seat, supported his head with one hand, and asked Xiao Hai, who was bowing his head, in a flat tone. "It's good to come back safely, and tell me about the situation. β
Xiao Hai bit his lip and said: "After I went in, the beginning was quite smooth, after burning the last cart of grain and grass, when I was about to leave, a black shadow blocked me, I dodged and ran away, he was stunned for a moment, did not move, I was quite proud to get rid of him easily, but just when I was about to come out, he appeared in front of me silently. β
"He can see you invisible. Yu Zimo's eyes narrowed.
"Yes. β
"And then?"
"I wanted to use Beans to conjure up a stand-in so I could escape, but he was so entangled that I didn't have a chance to exchange identities with Beans. Seeing that he was about to catch me, I couldn't help it, so I took out a bean in front of him, silently recited my name, and sure enough, another me appeared next to me. He was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't give me a chance to get out, he stretched out two hands and grabbed two of me, but luckily he didn't have a third hand, and when his hand was about to touch me, I shoved him a second bean. The beans became me, and I narrowly escaped while he had the opportunity to discern them. At this, he still had lingering palpitations.
"Do you see what the dark shadow looks like, is it human or not?"
He didn't see much of it, he wrapped himself in a black cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes. His eyes were also black, like deep holes, as if he were going to eat everything. I'm sure he's human, though. Xiao Hai said with certainty.
"People?" This person can easily find and restrain Xiao Hai, and it seems that it is not a simple character.
During this time, Yu Zimo did not participate in military affairs with Xiao Qingran, on the one hand, she believed in Xiao Qingran's ability, and on the other hand, she did her own deduction in the house. This time, the participating countries united with the other three countries to attack the Shang country, relying on people with special abilities. Bringing so many soldiers and not letting them actually go to the battlefield was using the weak spiritual power of these soldiers. A person who can accumulate the spiritual power of ordinary people should be a person who knows how to use the power of nature. With the help of nature's spiritual power, the spiritual power of so many people is also condensed, and the spiritual power obtained by the two is quite huge. But this war has been fought for so long, and all the other party has shown is to steal and burn grain and grass, so that Xiao Bogong will disappear with such a little strength - very unusual. There is also the barrier outside their army, which is not set up through his real spiritual power, but with the help of external objects. Otherwise, Xiaohai would not have broken through so easily. They gathered and looked at the spiritual powerβit was suspicious. What on earth did he or they want to do by collecting so much spiritual power?
Yu Zimo's eyes narrowed for a long time.
