Chapter 65: Blood Debt and Blood Repayment (Part II)
He Ran, who opened his eyes again, made everyone around him shudder, and his flickering eyes seemed to be a beast that chose people to devour.
"Pass on my military order, no one will surrender, no matter whether you live or die, you will be beheaded, and you will not be able to collect troops until you kill the last horse thief."
Listening to him issue this cruel military order in a cold tone without the slightest emotion, Xiaoling couldn't help but lean towards Xiao Xiao's side, feeling both concerned and a little scared of him in her heart, where is this still She Ran who is familiar with her.
Xiao Xiao whispered to his soldiers to remove Xi Qun's body, and then came to He Ran's side and whispered: "People can't be resurrected after death, don't grieve too much." ”
He Ran looked at the battlefield in the distance with his eyes, only nodded slightly, and slowly rode forward.
Xiao Xiao frowned, and gave Xiao Ling a look, Xiao Ling understood, and immediately led two hundred personal soldiers to gallop in front of He Ran and walked slowly.
At this time, the battle in front had already turned into a chase, even if he rode a horse at a gallop, it was not easy to catch up with the soldiers in front, He Ran walked with a sluggish expression, without the slightest sadness or anger on his face.
Xiaoling turned her head to Xiao Xiao from time to time, signaling her to hurry up and persuade her, Xiao Xiao was the least good at persuading others, and walked two or three miles before holding back a sentence: "Why did you come here?" This was the third time she had asked this question.
"I'm here to answer you." He Ran's tone was calm and flat, and his eyes kept looking ahead.
"Just bring 400 personal soldiers to meet you?"
"There are two thousand more, and I will go out to investigate."
"You...... You're really, I'm going to be defeated, what's the use of 2,000 people? Xiao Xiao's tone was very light, not so much blaming as distressed.
"I know you won't be defeated, but I'm afraid you're worried about the situation over there." His tone was as calm and flat as ever, and his eyes were still looking ahead.
Xiao Xiao wanted to cry when she heard it, and there was no need to point a finger at the confession of true feelings in her heart, his casual answer and plain words were enough to show how much he cared about herself, she suppressed her mood and said angrily: "You are too careless." ”
He Ran closed his eyes and said with a slight choked voice: "On the night of the incident, Xi Qun objected to my practice of setting off beacon smoke all the way and burning a bonfire late at night, I ...... I also reprimanded him, who had been thinking about my safety and didn't want to ...... I don't want to die for me. ”
"You...... You just go back and treat his family, don't be so sad. Xiao Xiao really didn't know what to say except for these, and looked at him anxiously.
He Ran opened his eyes, let the two tears slide down, turned his head and commanded Wan Jin: "Order those personal soldiers of the King of Fan in the back, let them cut off the heads of all the dead and wounded horse thieves in this area." ”
These four hundred Wang guards were left by He Ran to Xiao Xiao, and at this moment they took on the responsibility of guarding by his side, these people hesitated for a moment after listening to the military order handed down by Wan Jin, and then scattered around and slashed with their knives.
Xiao Xiao knew that only revenge could alleviate the grief in He Ran's heart now, and he also gave the same order to the soldiers behind him and ordered them to collect the corpses of the disciples of Zangxian Valley.
At dusk, Bayan Er brought 500 people back to escort him, and reported: "It is estimated that only a few dozen thieves escaped, and the military advisor will see if the army is temporarily camped, and it is useless to chase so many people together, Yun Ye has led a thousand people to chase, and they can't get away, and the two commanders who are the best at tracking follow." ”
He Ran looked firmly and said: "No, the wings continue to open, don't rest tonight, close the net tomorrow morning, even a fleeing horse thief can't let go, I can't let any bastard with my brother's blood on his hands live in the world!" ”
Bayan felt the unstoppable determination in the military advisor's tone, and nodded and went down.
Xiao Xiao sighed softly and said, "You are worthy of the dead brother, so don't grieve anymore." ”
Xiaoling also helped: "That's it, don't be like this, it looks weird and scary, they are willing to die for you, and they deserve to die, knowing that you are safe and sound, they will laugh at Jiuquan, don't blame yourself, no one would have thought that they would meet this group of horse thieves who don't know whether to live or die, and you are not a fairy." ”
He Ran smiled at her, got off the horse and sat on the grass and became silent again, Xiao Xiao saw this and ordered to camp on the spot.
Xiao Ling saw that he finally had an expression, and she was still smiling to herself, she seemed to have found her previous He Ran again, squatted beside him and glanced at Xiao Xiao not far away, and whispered: "That's it, you also know that she won't persuade people, she is going to die in a hurry if you do this, I want to open some, ah!" Don't keep a cold face. ”
He Ran nodded and said, "I know, what is the result of your chasing the White Lotus?" ”
"Thrilling, Miss these five days with her wits and courage, that mother-in-law really has two hits, the first day of the road ambush was seen through by Miss did not get a bargain, the next day we came to a night three robbery camp, fortunately Miss is the ancestor of the robbery camp did not suffer any big loss, if you change it, it is estimated that it was captured by others that night."
The more Xiao Ling spoke, the more excited she became, and she continued without waiting for He Ran to ask: "Guess what? The next night, the young lady brought her a color! ”
"It's also the Three Tribulation Camp?"
"Hey, what kind of skill is that, that night was windy, after arranging the fire prevention matters, Miss led the army around the wind of the enemy camp and shot her a rocket to burn the company camp, if it wasn't for the mother-in-law's alertness, I would be able to bring back a burnt white lotus for you."
"A big win?"
Xiaoling said with regret: "The camp of the soldiers was too scattered, and only one piece was burned, but we took advantage of the chaos to kill no less than 2,000 enemy soldiers, and they were so frightened that they fled overnight." ”
"What about the next two days?"
"Those soldiers and horses of Xiangguo and Qilan are too bad, they were left behind for more than 100 miles in three days, we don't dare to chase them desperately, and we can't catch up even if we want to, these soldiers ran too fast, and they came back like this."
"Then why are you back so late?"
Xiao Ling pouted and said, "It's not that the soldiers of Xiangguo and Qi Lan are blamed!" I can't ride a horse for a few days, although the young lady is worried about you, but you have to wait for these people, I know that it is better not to bring these waste, there are still more than 2,000 to keep up, I think they will not be able to catch up tomorrow. ”
He Ran sighed and said, "If it weren't for these burdens, my brothers wouldn't have died under the sword of the horse thief. ”
Xiaoling saw that he had brought the topic to this aspect, and hurriedly said: "There should be this calamity, don't think about it, tell the young lady about the situation on the other side of the Qizari Mountain, she is worried about death these days, I'll call her." As he spoke, he pushed He Ran's shoulder, and saw that he barely managed to squeeze out a smile before getting up.
