Lan Ziyi returned to the edge of the forest, and the rain had washed away most of the blood stained on his coat.

Not only Lan Ziyi, but also the blood splashed on the horses of the soldiers of the Western Tiger Battalion led by Lan Ziyi were washed into the ground, spreading a layer of bright red in the stagnant water all over the ground, and then this layer of bright red was washed away by the rain that kept falling, disappeared, and faded quickly, as if there had never been blood stains falling, except for the corpses all over the ground and the salty and wet smell of blood in the air, there was indeed nothing to prove that a bloody battle had just taken place here.

Lan Ziyi walked all the way and inspected the battlefield. After experiencing the impact just now, the soldiers of the Western Tiger Battalion would take the initiative to clasp their fists and salute when they saw Lan Ziyi, and the eyes of these soldiers no longer had the anger and contempt they had before, but instead admired and recognized. The soldiers all knew Lan Ziyi's origins, and they all saw that he was a scholar and not a practitioner, but as soon as the horn sounded just now, he was the first to charge Lan Ziyi, on the contrary, He Wenyu, the commander of the West Tiger Battalion, was "off the horse" at the beginning.

Lan Ziyi knew from the eyes of the soldiers that his battle had taken root among the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Western Tiger Battalion had recognized him as a general. It should have been a happy thing to be recognized by his soldiers, but Lan Ziyi couldn't be happy, because now the ardent vision of these soldiers is the same as that of those soldiers who united around Lan Ziyi when they were in Jiangbei, and the soldiers at that time also trusted Lan Ziyi, but few people escaped, and Lan Ziyi betrayed them and fled first.

Although Lan Ziyi has now accepted these facts and accepted himself who abandoned the army and fled, every time he thinks of the brothers who died in battle outside Shouchun City, and the scene when Lan Ziyi fled at the riverside ferry, Lan Ziyi's heart aches. As Zhang Wang said, Lan Ziyi needs to bear those who died because of him, Lan Ziyi wants to live with them on his back, and the defeat of Shouchun will be the eternal pain of Lan Ziyi's life.

The sound of conversation from the side pulled Lan Ziyi back to reality, it was a few sergeants who were inspecting the battlefield, and Lan Ziyi heard one of them say:

"This Marquis Wei is quite capable of fighting, not like the legend of escaping from the battle and burying tens of thousands of soldiers."

One of them replied:

"I told you a long time ago that Marquis Lan had a smooth ride in Jiangbei, if it weren't for Zhang Mingyue making an obstacle and sending someone to Fangcheng to do things, Marquis Lan would have pacified the demon thief a long time ago......"

Before the sergeant could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone next to him, and a group of people laughed at him and said:

"Before, we said in front of us that Wei Hou was a white-faced scholar, and you were the one who killed tens of thousands of people, why are you the one who said good things for Wei Hou now? Is that true? ”

The sergeant of Quaran Ziyi was blushing when he was said, and scolded angrily:

"It was before, and I heard it from others before."

At this time, a sergeant next to him asked:

"Some of you say Wei Hou, and some say Lan Hou, what is Hou Ye's surname? Is the surname Lan or the surname Wei? ”

A sergeant was right next and said:

"It must be surnamed Wei, or why do you call someone Weihou?"

Someone else retorted:

"The surname is Lan, Hou Ye reported his name when he charged just now, I heard it clearly!"

The sergeant surnamed Wei spoke:

"How can the surname Lan? Why does the surname Lan call him Weihou? ”

The sergeant surnamed Lan scolded:

"Weihou is a title, not a surname, you are a bun!"

A group of sergeants quarreled like this, completely unaware that Lan Ziyi had come behind them.

Lan Ziyi approached the arguing crowd and said:

"My surname is Lan Ziyi, I am a descendant of the Lan family, the general of Beizhen, inheriting the merits of my father, and was named the Marquis of Weiting by the emperor.

Lan Ziyi's cold tone frightened the group of quarreling sergeants, and the soldiers hurriedly turned around and saluted Lan Ziyi with fists.

Lan Ziyi looked at the group of sergeants who were fighting for their surnames and wanted to laugh, but Lan Ziyi still held back, and he said to the sergeant with a straight look:

"How's the battlefield cleaned? Did you miss the thieves? You don't know that there is a war going on now? Still have time to gather here for a chat? ”

After the group of sergeants couldn't be lifted up by Lan Ziyi's question, it was obvious that it was a teenager who was talking in front of them, but this group of veterans just couldn't find the confidence to resist Lan Ziyi in front of them.

After being taught a lesson by Lan Ziyi, the group of sergeants answered "yes" in a low voice and hurriedly went their separate ways.

Lan Ziyi looked at the sergeants who walked away, and then laughed.

At this time, Tao Zhutu rushed to Lan Ziyi's side, and said breathlessly:

"Young master, I chased it back, and I didn't let go of a demon thief."

Lan Ziyi listened and nodded. Although he believed in the strength of Peach Chase Rabbit and believed what Peach Chase Rabbit said, it was still raining in the sky on such a dark night, and it was unrealistic to say that all of them were chased.

However, Lan Ziyi didn't say what he thought, Tao Zhutu was busy all night, and he shouldn't have said this kind of thing to hit him.

Lan Ziyi asked with a smile:

"How about the third brother? Didn't get hurt, right? ”

Peach Rabbit smiled:

"It's fine. We were taken by surprise, and the thieves were not the team of defensive cavalry, so tonight's battle was too easy. Just the few thieves who set themselves on fire and rushed over to die together are still a little dangerous, and the others are fine. ”

Lan Ziyi nodded and asked:

"What about the eldest brother and the second brother?"

Tao Zhutu pointed to the other side and said:

"The eldest brother and the second brother have already tied up all the live mouths over there, just wait for the young master to go over and ask."

Lan Ziyi listened and planned to turn around and go over with Tao Zhutu, but after thinking about it, Lan Ziyi said:

"No, there's one more thing I'll do first."

Saying that, Lan Ziyi rode his horse into the woods and rushed to the position where he had just charged, and Tao Zhutu didn't ask much, just followed Lan Ziyi.

When Lan Ziyi arrived at the place, he found He Wenyu who was sitting on the horse and resting, and there were a few sergeants guarding next to He Wenyu, these sergeants' eyes were full of contempt for He Wenyu, and it seemed that they were all regretful that they could not join in the victory just now.

Lan Ziyi came to He Wenyu and dismounted, and He Wenyu's guards hurriedly saluted Lan Ziyi when they saw this.

Lan Ziyi nodded as a return gift, and then asked He Wenyu:

"Is General He okay?"

He Wenyu covered his left arm, his face was pale, and the big beads of sweat rolled down with the rain, and it seemed that his arm was broken.

After hearing Lan Ziyi's question, He Wenyu raised his head and squeezed out a stiff smile at Lan Ziyi, and replied:

"The horse was unruly, and when he charged again, he was frightened and fell me down, causing me to break my arm. I didn't expect that. ”

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi deliberately asked:

"Didn't expect that? What didn't General He expect? ”

He Wenyu's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he still said very calmly:

"Wei Hou is really brave and fearless, and he led the charge just now with the demeanor of a fierce general."

Lan Ziyi borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and followed He Wenyu's words and didn't ask about the "unexpected" just now, he said:

"General He is so seriously injured, don't hold on here, you won't be able to keep your hand if you go on like this."

When He Wenyu heard that "the hand will not be saved", he immediately looked down at his arm, and he said:

"There is Lao Weihou in the army, I will go back to the camp to bandage one or two first, and when I straighten the bones, I will come back to assist Weihou."

Lan Zi said in his heart that you should leave quickly, don't get in the way of me, and said with a smile:

"It's dark and the road is slippery, General He has to be careful all the way, maybe there will be thieves who have slipped through the net and are ambushed in front."

He Wenyu was taken aback by Lan Ziyi's words, but he still said goodbye to Lan Ziyi and got on his horse, and went back to the camp under the escort of a sergeant.

After He Wenyu left, Tao Zhutu asked:

"Young master, do you think I have someone to chase after me?"

Lan Ziyi explained as he got on the horse:

"Third brother, you chase to the north, He Wenyu walks to the west, the direction is different, it is naturally possible to bump into the demon thief running elsewhere."

Then Lan Ziyi patted He Wenyu's arm and said with a smile:

"I scared him, not because I disliked the third brother for not doing good things."

With that, the two of them urged the horses out of the woods and went to the peach tiger and the peach deer.

Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu are leading a circle of soldiers from the Western Tiger Battalion to surround the captured demon thieves. These thieves and thieves have experienced a night of crossing the river and bumpy, and have been walking on the road for a long time, and they have experienced a big battle just now, and these thieves are exhausted at this time, and they are all tied behind their backs, kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads silently.

Lan Ziyi came to the front of the army, and the sergeants all saluted like Lan Ziyi with their fists when they saw this.

Lan Ziyi nodded in response to the sergeants and asked:

"Second brother, how many people have been arrested?"

Peach Road:

"There are four hundred and seventy-three people in total, and there are about a thousand more people lying on the ground."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Here comes a thousand fifteen?"

Tao Zhuhu replied:

"No, young master, two thousand people are here."

Lan Ziyi nodded, and asked again:

"How many did we hurt?"

Tao Zhulu replied:

"A few of the brothers fell off their horses, and one of them seemed to have broken his leg, and the others were fine."

兰子义 says:

"Someone sent it back, right?"

Tao Zhulu replied:

"Send it to the capital."

After learning about the situation of the two armies, Lan Ziyi leaned down and asked the kneeling thieves in front of the horse:

"Where is your leader?"

It was not the demon thief who answered this question, but the peach chasing tiger, I saw that the peach chasing tiger untied a human head from the saddle and threw it to the peach chasing rabbit, and Lan Ziyi turned his head to look at the appearance of the demon thief leader.

Lan Ziyi waved his hand and motioned for Tao Zhutu to put away the head, and then he asked the demon thief in front of the horse:

"Do you have any reinforcements? What's the plan for tonight? How do the army on Jinzhou Island cooperate with you? ”

Hearing Lan Ziyi's question, one of the kneeling thieves raised his head and spat at Lan Ziyi:

"The ghost in white, kill if you want to, where is so much nonsense? Grandpa, I'm a good man again in eighteen years! ”

When a sergeant heard this, he saddled and dismounted, went up to the man, and kicked him over.

Lan Ziyi raised his hand to stop his sergeant's behavior, and then said to the sergeant with a smile:

"You Heavenly Kings have all been killed by Lei Youde, and the reincarnation path you did is just a nonsense, and now you are still working so hard, why?"

Lan Ziyi thought that he would be refuted by these demon thieves when he said this, but he didn't expect that these demon thieves just knelt and bowed their heads and didn't speak, and no one denied Lei Youde's killing of the Heavenly King.

It seems that even among the demon thieves, the matter of Lei Youde killing the lord is an open secret.
