Cao Li's task is only to protect Zhang Xiaowu, and he is not responsible for protecting those righteous warriors and knights. Although Cao Li knew in his heart that this was a bit of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but the war was like this, the war required sacrifice, but it was not the sergeant who sacrificed every time, if the sergeant died, then who could stop the inuyi invasion and rely only on the chivalrous? In Cao Li's heart, if you make a choice, then the first place is the comrade-in-arms of Paoze, and even the imperial court must be placed behind, after all, even if the imperial court is gone, it can be re-established, but if the comrades-in-arms of Paoze are gone, there will be no trustworthy person.

Now that Zhang Xiaowu has nothing to do, Cao Li is relieved, he is much more relaxed in his heart, and persuaded in a low voice: "General, let's withdraw, the tunnel is inconvenient, if they all come back for a while, they will be crowded at the door." Those rebels are so good that they will be able to escape, and you don't have to worry, it won't take long for them to return. He muttered in a low voice: "It won't be because of that woman, they all say that he is a general, your little ...... Little ......"

"Little your sister!" Zhang Xiaowu kicked him again, crying and laughing: "You must rescue Wang Xiaojian, this person is not only the leader of the righteous army, but also the responsibility of the people." If Wang Xiaojian folds here, there will inevitably be people in the rebel army who are worried that we will use them as tools, so he must be rescued. We have won half of the war, and we have to win the hearts and minds of the other half. The reputation and status of the defenders of Mucheng, if it spreads from the mouths of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, will be our greatest capital. Everyone has been worried that the end of the war in the northern part of the country will make us people in Mucheng have nowhere to go, and even our army composed of stragglers will become an obstacle and a stumbling block for some people in the imperial court. I think that at this time, the imperial military department is also arguing about whether to dismantle the garrison of Mucheng, don't look at me as the garrison envoy of Mucheng, but this garrison envoy was temporarily rewarded by the military department of the Holy Han Empire, and it is not known when it will be withdrawn. ”

Cao Li was puzzled: "The general is still worried about the imperial court suppressing us?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu sneered: "I have confidence in the empire, but I don't have confidence in some people in the empire, the matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is light, and what I am most worried about is that some people will do something to us." ”

Cao Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in his heart that he was able to become a general at a young age, and this far-sighted mind was much more than that of a military general like himself, and even he had already considered the future of the Mucheng garrison, and he was still thinking about the present. The general was worried about the future, and the official was thinking about the short-term, so he nodded and said, "So we have to wait for Wang Xiaojian and Wang Daxia to come back." ”

Zhang Xiaowu looked out for a while, and resolutely decided: "I'll go out to look for them and bring them back." ”

Cao Li grabbed Zhang Xiaowu and begged: "General, you are the general of a city!" You can't afford to be in danger anymore! ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Are you worried that I will be killed?" The one who can kill me hasn't been born yet. ”

Cao Li was speechless, in fact, everyone really couldn't beat the general in a martial arts, but how could personal bravery be compared with the melee among thousands of troops?

Zhang Xiaowu slapped the smoke stone, and suddenly said: "I forgot, why are you here?" Didn't I let you go back? Mr. Wu must have sent you, yes or no? Let me guess, he asked you to save me, and said that if I was in danger, he would sacrifice anyone's life and save me, yes or no? ”

Cao Li opened his mouth wide and said for a while: "General, why is Mr. Wu's words word-for-word by you, is he a staff member or are you a staff member?" If the general is not a general, he can even become a military advisor, guessing people is too accurate. ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly: "Mr. Wu has no confidence in me." ”

Cao Li said: "After all, the general has a heavy responsibility, you can't have anything, even if I die, you can't die." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was moved, but then kicked over and scolded: "You crow's mouth!" ”

While they were talking, two more returned, their clothes showing some signs of fire, but they excitedly reported that at least twenty tents were missing, and that even death would be worth it. These two are both elite disciples of the Great Gate Sect, and after this battle, they have become inseparable friends, talking to each other about each other's bravery. Zhang Xiaowu asked them if they had seen anyone else, and the two said that the others were also covering up, because it was so chaotic that everyone could not see the shadow after taking a picture of each other.

Zhang Xiaowu said that he knew, so he covered them to return to the tunnel, and the two were not polite, and returned to Mucheng from the tunnel.

Not long after, Sikong Liling came back alone in embarrassment, his body was covered in blood, Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly asked: "Sikong, where is Wang Xiaojian, who is with you?" ”

Sikong Liling gasped and said, "He and a few other brothers were surrounded, he covered me and escaped, let me find you, and said that he did his best, you go quickly." We burned the military materials and horse sheds, and also shocked the war horses, but Senior Brother Li of the Five Elements Sect was trampled to death by the war horses. ”

"Where are they?" Zhang Xiaowu said urgently.

Sikong Liling said: "He is in the northeast corner. ”

Zhang Xiaowu knew that it used to be an arsenal, and concluded that Wang Xiaojian must have wanted to burn the ordnance and be discovered, this Wang Xiaojian was the leader of the Righteous Army and the spiritual leader of the Righteous Army, Zhang Xiaowu must not watch him being surrounded and suppressed by the dogs, so he took off his golden armor and stuffed it into Sikong Liling's arms, and said: "I'll save him, you go back first." ”

"General, no!" Cao Li was anxious and stopped in front of him, "If they arrive at the door of this smoky stone room, and you go out to save people, I won't stop them." But they're in a predicament now, and you've got in there! How to bear what dangers there are? I disagree! ”

Sikong Liling also said with red eyes: "The general asked me to be a deserter? ”

Zhang Xiaowu ignored Cao Li, turned to Sikong Liling and said, "Sikong Hero, you are not a deserter, I have an important task for you." I am wearing the golden armor of the Khan of Ligaotu, which symbolizes the supreme power of the millions of Tartars in the Northern Wasteland, and only the Tartar Khan is qualified to wear the golden armor. Now that Legotus is dead and the Tartars are leaderless, we can use the Khan's Golden Armor to make a deal with the Tartars, or even get them out of the fray. So you bring back the Khan's golden armor and tell General Xiao to be cautious about using the golden armor, or you may be able to defeat Inuyi. ”

Sikong Liling hesitated: "But general, you don't know the way, why don't I take you there." ”

"Fuck you!" Zhang Xiaowu scolded, "I built this epidemic village single-handedly, and Cao Li and I built it, and I know where I am with my eyes closed." ”

Sikong Liling had no choice but to go into the tunnel.

Zhang Xiaowu snatched Cao Li's waist knife again, and said with a proud smile: "Cao Manzi, you and your people should not act rashly, you have many people and big goals, which may expose the location of the smoky stone room." You have to believe in me, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can avoid it, I understand it. Remember, Wang Xiaojian and I must save him, and when the righteous army returns to the Central Plains, the name of our loyal martyrs will be passed down through the ages! ”

"General, just let me go with you!" Cao Li pleaded.

Zhang Xiaowu pushed Cao Li away and ordered: "Guarding the tunnel entrance and picking up the others, this is your task." With that, he took advantage of the darkness of the night to burrow into the camp of the Tartar Tower.
