Chapter 251: Into the Hinterland
With the army of Tianlong Kingdom breaking through the West Dragon Pass, Long Xiaofeng and Leng Manyan led the army, all the way to attack the city, and killed in the hinterland of Qi Tianguo, and in the middle of summer in June, the army led by the two had already entered the nearest Licheng from Tiandu, and attacked Licheng in one fell swoop.
As soon as the army entered Licheng, Leng Manyan remembered that she had brought Bai Xiao and others to Licheng to arrest Qin Huaiyu together.
But now that he is revisiting the old place, he has long been a person, and when he entered Licheng again, what Leng Manyan and others saw in their eyes, except for the blood-washed red red red on the ground all over the street, the entire Licheng was like a dead city, and it was so quiet that even a ghost could not be found.
At night, Leng Manyan and the others temporarily lived in the city lord's mansion in Licheng, and they could hear gusts of yin wind blowing in Licheng, and between the howling of the yin wind, it was like a ghost crying wolf, which was extremely scary.
"Queen Mother, what a scary sound! I'm a little hairy in my heart. Listening to the sound from outside, Ji Shanshan ran behind Leng Manyan, grabbed Leng Manyan's arm, and screamed tremblingly in Leng Manyan's ear.
Leng Manyan grinned and comforted her, "What are you afraid of, with us here, you are still afraid that the ghost will eat you!" ”
"But this yin wind gusts, it is strange and scary, we are all the way into the hinterland, every city is like this, there is not a single figure in sight, could it be that the Heaven and Earth Sect has killed them all?" Ji Shanshan asked in a low voice.
Leng Manyan shook his head blankly.
Ji Shanshan's statement just gave Leng Manyan a reminder, indeed, from breaking through Xilong Pass all the way to the hinterland to now, in more than a month, Leng Manyan and they have conquered dozens of cities, without exception, there is not a single figure in these cities.
It is as if the ground has been washed with blood, and the fishy smell is very strong, and at the same time, at the same time, at night, it is cloudy and windy, and the ghosts cry and howl, and it makes people's cold hairs stand on end, which is very scary.
After thinking in his heart for a while, Leng Manyan hurriedly called Yidao over and said to Yidao, "Yidao, tomorrow you will lead thousands of soldiers and horses to go back with Shanshan, and when you pass through Xilong Pass, remember to send Lu Shiyu back to the Tianlong Kingdom together." ”
"But Niangniang, this battle is not over yet! How can we go? He asked Leng Manyan incomprehensibly.
Oh, yes! In the past half a year of war, all the way to the present, the troops are about to come to the city and attack the Tiandu Imperial City, where can I give up a knife?
He also thought about the joy and pride he felt when he led his troops into the imperial city! Naturally, I don't want to just leave here.
Leng Manyan stared at Yidao with cold eyes, and said to Yidao, "Now that you have attacked the hinterland of Qi Tianguo, you have also seen it, this Qi Tianguo is very strange, and there is no need for you high-level leaders in the future, I, the emperor, the fairy concubine Niangniang, the three of us can lead the troops to attack Tiandu, you follow, I am afraid that you will only go to death." ”
"Mother, I ......"
"Okay, it's not just you, tomorrow General Xiao, Deputy General Li, Brother Wang, etc., you all have to leave with the army, and the three of us will press into the Tiandu with 300,000 soldiers and horses." Yidao wanted to say something, but Leng Manyan didn't give him a chance, and opened his mouth to block it.
Yidao was unconvinced, turned around and walked into the hall, and talked to Long Xiaofeng over there.
Leng Manyan pulled Ji Shanshan impatiently, and walked in, as soon as the two walked to Long Xiaofeng's side, Long Xiaofeng asked Leng Manyan with a smile, "Why, you care so much about your subordinates!" Would you rather go on an adventure yourself and let them return to the Dragon Kingdom safely? ”
"I don't want to see them die in front of my eyes again." Leng Manyan spread his hands and smiled.
"Then do as you say! Tomorrow at dawn, you will depart with your army with a sword, leaving us with only 300,000 troops. Long Xiaofeng understood Leng Manyan's arrangement very well, so he didn't object, and he also followed Yidao and the others to leave with the soldiers.
Long Xiaofeng, the emperor, has spoken, what else can he say with a knife?
In the end, he could only nod impatiently, and promised to accept it, but he could accept it, and said worriedly, "Will 300,000 troops be too little?" Do you want to keep another 300,000 more? ”
"No need, this final battle is not something that can be won with a lot of people, and these 300,000 troops are not used to deal with the Heaven and Earth Sect or Zhantian." Long Xiaofeng shook his head.
"Who is that for?" A puzzled question.
Leng Manyan took over the conversation angrily, glared at a knife and scolded, "I don't know this, stupid, of course it is used to deal with Xifeng Kingdom, don't you know that the emperor and empress of Xifeng Kingdom also led hundreds of thousands of troops to kill all the way to Dongwu City, which is the nearest to the east of Tiandu?" ”
"Oh! So that's the case, then I know, and the wechen obey the order. Yidao nodded in realization.
This time, he completely understood the reason why Leng Manyan wanted to keep the 300,000 troops, and after hearing it, he didn't stay any longer, and took Ji Shanshan with him, and went down to Xiao Yong and them to discuss the return tomorrow.
The group left, and in the hall of the Licheng City Lord's Mansion, only Long Xiaofeng and Leng Manyan were left.
Leng Manyan fidgeted, stared at Long Xiaofeng and asked, "What about Zhan Xian'er?" Where did she run away? ”
"I don't know, during this time, she is always elusive, and I don't know where she went." Long Xiaofeng replied Leng Manyan who didn't know.
When the two were talking about Zhan Xian'er, Zhan Xian'er walked in from outside the hall.
Seeing the two of them in the hall, Zhan Xian'er opened her mouth and asked, "What's going on, I saw Yidao and Xiao Yong they were getting ready to attack, do you want to attack the heavenly capital at night?" ”
"No, it's for them to return tomorrow." Leng Manyan replied.
"What? Let them go tomorrow? Zhan Xian'er didn't understand the question.
Her question was the same as the previous one, but when Leng Manyan explained it to her clearly, Zhan Xian'er also understood the reason why Leng Manyan wanted to let them go.
Walking in front of the two of them with excited steps, Zhan Xian'er put her fluffy little hand on Leng Manyan's shoulder, and said happily, "A hand with a feeling is better than a hand without a feeling!" This method of refining beasts has really helped me a lot. ”
"Hmmm! That's good, you have cultivated the method of refining beasts, and this time we go to Tiandu, we will have more combat power, and strive to defeat Zhantian and end this war. Leng Manyan reached out and grabbed Zhan Xian'er's hand and replied happily.
As early as half a month ago, Zhan Xian'er had completely completed the cultivation of the method of refining beasts, although in the battle of Xilongguan, Zhan Xian'er failed to come back in time to participate in the battle, but Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng did not blame her, it was originally a feint, but later because of Bai Xiao's sacrifice, the feint attack became a general attack, and the victory was won in those unexpected hours.
This is also something that Leng Manyan could not have predicted.
The three of them were chatting in the hall, and when they were chatting eagerly, Xiao Yong suddenly grabbed someone and walked in from the outside, "Your Majesty, the two mothers, when they were just inspecting the city, they found that this person was filthy, so they arrested them, and asked the emperor and the two mothers to interrogate." ”
"You...... Aren't you Qin Huaiyu? After Leng Manyan listened to Xiao Yong's narration, she looked up at the person Xiao Yong had caught, Leng Manyan directly screamed in surprise, and the expression of surprise on her face was beyond words.
And Qin Huaiyu, who was arrested, was also very excited when he saw Leng Manyan.
Before a few people in the hall could react, Qin Huaiyu rushed up with an arrow step, and knelt down to Leng Manyan with a plop, Qin Huaiyu shouted in his mouth, "My lord, I really didn't expect that I, Qin Huaiyu, could meet you here, it's really surprising to me." ”
"Hurry up, what are you doing! Hurry up, if you have something to say, General Xiao, you go down and get busy first! These people are old acquaintances of mine, and I just need to greet them. Leng Manyan stretched out his hand to help Qin Huaiyu up and told Xiao Yong to leave.
Xiao Yong didn't say a word before turning around and leaving.
Leng Manyan and the three welcomed Qin Huaiyu to the table, and the four of them sat down together, Leng Manyan poured Qin Huaiyu a cup of tea and asked, "I'm curious, this city full of people is gone, why are you still hanging around in the city, what happened in the hinterland of this Qi Heavenly Kingdom?" ”
"That's a long story." Qin Huaiyu drank the tea with a teacup, and replied with a sigh.
"Then tell us slowly! We'd love to know what the hell is going on here, how did you survive. Leng Manyan continued to ask Qin Huaiyu.
She is not a fool, she naturally knows that there must be something strange in this, and if she doesn't ask why, Leng Manyan really doesn't plan to let go of Qin Huaiyu, a bastard, today.
But who knows, Qin Huaiyu's next sentence really knocked the three of them down.
I saw him mysteriously staring at Leng Manyan and the three of them in a circle, and said in a low voice, "Actually, it was Zhan Tian who asked me to pass a message to you." ”
"What? You bastard, surrendered to Zhantian? Leng Manyan slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Qin Huaiyu and scolding.
Qin Huaiyu was taken aback.
How did he know that Leng Manyan would have such a big reaction? Qin Huaiyu hurriedly shouted, "My lord...... Oh! No, it's time to change your name to Niangniang, you sit down first and listen to me slowly, okay? Don't be in such a hurry. ”
"Humph! I'd like to hear what you say, and if you don't hear it, be careful that I break your dog's leg and let you come in vertically and go out sideways. As soon as Leng Manyan's temper came up, he really didn't plan to let go of Qin Huaiyu, a bastard.
Anyway, he has a criminal record, and if Leng Manyan really found out that he aided and abused, she swore that Qin Huaiyu's ending would be worse than Lu Yao's.
As Leng Man's words fell, the three of them locked their eyes on Qin Huaiyu's body, waiting to hear his next explanation.
