"This ...... This....... I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of troops, right~? ”

The top of Snake Spirit Mountain.

The Flying Snake and Yin Batian led the remnants of the Seven Cultivation Sect disciples to the edge of the cliff, looking at the army surrounding them at the bottom of the mountain, and from such a distance, they could see that the black pressure below was full of people, and the Flying Snake couldn't help but jump out of the corner of his eyes, and said in shock.

To this day, he no longer dared to underestimate the combat power of the Tang army, he had thought that the Seven Cultivation Sect occupied the time, place, and people, and that if the imperial army wanted to completely capture it, it would have to kill and wound thousands of people, but as a result of today's real fight, Li Zexuan, Dugu Xin, Dugu Feiying and the Beiya Forbidden Army were taught him to be a man.

The battle loss of more than 200 people is a big number for Li Zexuan, but for the Flying Snake and the Seven Cultivation Sect, it is far from the original expectation~! Also, if it weren't for the last moment, when the Flying Snake gave up his cultivation and took the Seven Cultivation Snake that had recovered to its peak state to face the battle, maybe the current Seven Cultivation Sect would have been wiped out by the imperial army.

"Hmph~! This Li Shimin is really stupid, and he used so many armies for the personal grievances between Li Zexuan and your junior brother~! Alas~! Fortunately, they didn't attack, otherwise even if we had the help of the Seven Cultivation Snakes, we wouldn't be able to withstand it~! ”

Yin Batian frowned, and sighed slightly in a voice that only he could hear, and now in his heart, he actually regrets it a little~!

"Senior brother, for the sake of today's plan, I'm afraid I can only hold on to the mountain~! In the past, the sect's grain storage was enough for all the sect members to eat for half a year, but now after such a big war, there are less than half of the disciples left, and those stored grain can be eaten for more than a year~! As long as the imperial army does not attack for a day, we will be able to live safely~! ”

The flying snake turned to look at Yin Batian and said with a worried face.

Yin Batian shook his head and said helplessly: "In addition to holding on, what else can I do~?" The consumption rate of grain and grass in this 10,000-strong army is much faster than that of our dozens of people, right~? ”

The flying snake nodded and said, "That's ~!" But Senior Brother, just in case, we have to let the disciples dig some traps on the mountain road tomorrow, otherwise they really attack it, and we only have the Seven Cultivation Snakes left to rely on~! ”

"Hmm~! What the junior brother said is reasonable~! ”

..........................

"Xianggong~! Messire~! You're back~? ”

Coming out of the right guard barracks, Li Zexuan remembered that on the Snake Spirit Mountain, Duguxin's guards were desperately covering their retreat, how could he not be happy, he pulled Dabai, and returned to Yongle Fang's home listlessly all the way, as soon as he entered the door, Han Yuxi, who was lying on the stone table in the front yard waiting for him to come back, hurriedly came over and took his hand with a happy face and said.

Li Zexuan's heart was slightly warm, no matter how much wind and rain he experienced outside, when he returned to this home, he could get the greatest comfort and support from his daughter-in-law and other family members, he pinched the soft wattle in his hand, and then took Han Yuxi in his arms, he closed his eyes a little tired and said:

"Hmm~! Lady, I'm back~! ”

Smelling Han Yuxi's fragrance and being affected by her heartbeat, Li Zexuan's complicated heart instantly quieted down, home is really a harbor for everyone's soul~!

"Xianggong, you ...... Xianggong, what's wrong with you~? Did you encounter something~? ”

The public was held in the arms of the opposite sex, even if this person was her husband, it was not in line with the etiquette~! So Han Yuxi instinctively wanted to break free, but as the so-called husband and wife were concentric, she soon felt the exhaustion and heartache from the bottom of her heart, so she gently patted Li Zexuan's back and asked gently.

"Hmm~! Oh, yes~! Xianggong, I have caused a lot of innocent people to die tragically today, will you hate me~? ”

"Huh~? Didn't Xianggong go to encircle and suppress the Seven Cultivators these days~? Yes~! Is it ........?"

Han Yuxi remembered that Li Zexuan had been in Snake Spirit Mountain recently, and she couldn't help but raise her head and said in shock.

"The lady's guess is right, in today's battle of Snake Spirit Mountain, the army suffered heavy losses, and many brothers died in order to cover the retreat of me and Dugu Xin, and I just came back from the palace as a husband~!"

Li Zexuan sighed, then let go of Han Yuxi, took her hand, and continued to walk forward and said: "The general of the defeated army, and killed so many brothers, I even hate myself now~!" ”

Han Yuxi frowned, her face was full of distress, she raised her head and said, "Xianggong~!" Although the concubine is a woman, she also knows that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the husband must not be discouraged because of a momentary frustration~! The concubine believes that nothing in this world can stump the father-in-law~!

As for those unfortunate soldiers, the concubines will often go to the temple to burn incense and pray for them, if the prince feels guilty, you can care more about their families when you have time in the future, and believe that they will be very happy in the spirit of heaven~! ”

When Li Zexuan heard this, he suddenly brightened, and he smiled with relief: "Mmmm~!" These suggestions are really good~! Now that things have happened, there is no benefit in sighing in vain, it is better to do some remedies like you said~! Lady, you are really my great noble~! ”

Han Yuxi said embarrassedly: "How can the concubine body be as good as you say~?" Xianggong is just a bystander~! Oh~! By the way, Xianggong, you didn't fight well this time, Your Majesty didn't blame you, right~? ”

Li Zexuan shook his head and said softly: "That's not it~!" The situation of the Seven Cultivation Sect is special, and the result of this battle is almost the same for whoever goes there, and Your Majesty is not an unreasonable person, of course he will not blame me~! But after losing so many brothers, even if he doesn't blame me, I blame myself~! So I still have to find a way to destroy these Seven Cultivation Sects~! ”

Han Yuxi knew that it was difficult for her to persuade Li Zexuan to change her mind in a major matter, so she could only smile and say: "Then Xianggong, you are careful, you promised to be a concubine before, and you will not take risks in person~!" ”

Li Zexuan pointed to his head and smiled: "Of course~!" Lady rest assured, there is not much danger this time, the fight is not only by fists, but also by the head~! ”

Saying that, he looked around and asked, "Huh~?" What about Dad, Mother and Lan'er~? Why don't you see anyone~? ”

Han Yuxi replied with a smile: "Dad went to the teahouse to play chess, my mother was invited to watch the play by Duchess Lu Guo, as for Lan'er, she went to Yunshan with Tie Dan yesterday, saying that she was helping Xianggong build a academy for you, and she lived at my father's place last night~!" It is estimated that I will not come back in the next two days~! ”

Li Zexuan nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it's good that they're all fine~!" In the next three days, my husband was not at home, and everything in the family was hard work~! If Dad and Mother ask, you can tell them that I went to Uncle Niu's barracks, there is no danger, let them not worry~! ”

"Hmm~!"
