The fighting in Zhongzhou Mountain finally stopped, but the forces on all sides did not feel much easier, for no other reason, that is, because the war did not have a clear victory.

The battle has been fought to this extent, this is already a mortal enemy that cannot be resolved, and now the withdrawal of troops is not only unable to give an explanation to the dead and wounded, but more importantly, the enemy and us cannot feel at ease at all, and everyone will devote ten percent of their energy to guard against the opponent in the days to come.

There are only thieves in the world who have been thieves for a thousand days, but where are there those who have been guarding against thieves for a thousand days? It is a very depressing thing to guard against the assassination of enemies every day.

The allied army of the flowing fire was sharply reduced from 80,000 to 40,000, and the combined forces of Yu and Li also dropped directly from 60,000 to 30,000.

At this time, Long Xingkong had already been shocked by this tragic battle, he and the more than a thousand soy sauce beaters under his command cowered in the Flowing Fire Camp, standing or sitting, looking at the busy soldiers themselves and unable to intervene, except for urgently transferring some food and wound medicine from Tiandu City, they could not do anything.

Not everyone can enter the big tent of Flowing Fire, even if Long Xingkong is the emperor of Chu State, he must abide by the rules here, and if Flowing Fire is not summoned, he can only wait outside.

And at this time, the quarrel in the big tent has turned upside down.

"Fight, what are we going to fight? Do we want to die with the Yu family? Even if we drain the last drop of blood and kill all the new forces of the Yu family, can we help the old ancestor of the Yu family?"

"I can't swallow this breath, nearly half of our soldiers who died in battle and were crippled for life are close to half, that's a full 40,000 people, they are all elite soldiers and veterans trained by us, are they dying in vain?" Shi Meng's fiery temper is completely lit, and it is completely-for-tat with the flowing fire.

At this time, Hou Wen was no longer in the same mood as Liuhuo, and he also shouted inside.

"The ancestor of the Yu family is nothing to be afraid of, Uncle Wenmo can restrain him once, and he can restrain him a second time, the current blood lion and flame have long since become the end of the strong crossbow, as long as we are given an hour's time, we can definitely annihilate them..."

"Are you dreaming?" accompanied by the sound of fire and rage, the sound of wood breaking came from inside the big tent, and it seemed that either the table or chair was broken.

"Do you think Yufei and they will fight you so stupidly? Do you know what it's like inside the illusion? I'll tell you the truth, the illusion was a secret place for soldiers in ancient times. That's more than enough for 100,000 soldiers..."

"The hilly hunting ground controlled by the Yu family also has a magic field, and the food provided there is enough for hundreds of thousands of people to consume, once the Yu family shrinks inside, how can we fight? Not to mention that there is a treasure land like the Ten Directions Spirit Pond in there..."

Liuhuo paused slightly, as if calming down, "The most important thing is the ancestor, if the Yu family gives up the positional war with us, they will rely on the illusion as the backing, and fight with us every day, plus the leadership of the ancestor, you say... What are our chances? That's a blunt knife to cut the flesh and a small mouth to bleed..."

The words of the fire caused silence in the big tent, and Long Xingkong outside the tent was already stupid, he suddenly poked a guard-like young man beside him, and asked softly.

"Has Lord Flowing Fire always been so grumpy?"

Standing next to Long Xingkong was none other than the lame sixth brother who had been summoned early but had been standing outside the tent. The current sixth brother has long lost the pride he had before and fought thousands of miles, and he is aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law, standing honestly outside the tent.

It's no wonder that Long Xingkong was wrong, the lame sixth brother was wearing black iron armor, standing motionless outside the tent and not daring to move, and anyone else would see him as a guard.

The lame sixth brother looked up at Long Xingkong, and carefully looked at the golden dragon pattern on his armor, and couldn't guess the identity of the man opposite, but this person's noble identity was not said.

"No, Lord Flowing Fire is very kind, and this temper is purely angry because the battle situation is not going well..."

Before the lame sixth brother finished speaking, suddenly the sound of fire came out of the tent.

"Shut up, Xiao Liuzi, did I let you speak? You disobeyed the military order and sent troops privately, do you think you can escape this catastrophe?" The reprimand of the flowing fire frightened the lame sixth brother with white hair and sweat, he was originally the representative of these militia groups, and he didn't dare to come to see the flowing fire, just to catch the ducks on the shelf.

"My lord, Xiao Liuzi, on behalf of 100,000 militia soldiers who privately supported the front line, came to ask the adults for their guilt" After speaking, Xiao Liuzi fell to the ground on one knee, lowered his head and simply stopped talking, and the whole person became an ostrich.

After a while, the whirring fire came out of the military tent, but when he just appeared, the scene in front of him made him stunned. In front of Liuhuo, behind the lame sixth brother, there were actually a group of militia soldiers, and they were all at the level of the head of the sect and the head of the regiment, and there were three hundred people.

"Peishui militia group, please ask the adults for their crimes, please punish us for the crime of sending troops without authorization..."

Liuhuo looked at the heads all over the ground, and then looked at Long Xingkong, who was standing in the crowd in embarrassment, and the angry scolding that Liuhuo had reached his mouth swallowed back alive.

After all, Long Xingkong is the emperor in the secular world, and he has just accepted the title of king from others, so he can't snub the other party too much, it was rude not to meet Long Xingkong immediately just now, but now that he sees it face to face, he can't pretend not to see it.

"I really don't dare to be it, I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be..."

Long Xingkong is not a fool, the strength and weakness are obvious, how dare he hold up in front of the flowing fire, and feel like a return gift.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Liuhuo saved my Chu country from danger, and he is the great benefactor of my Chu country..."

Liuhuo didn't wait for Long Xingkong to finish speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Long Xingkong's hand, and asked for it in the big tent, and by the way, he didn't forget to stare at Xiao Liuzi and them with his eyes.

The Burning Tent is a very large suite, with a meeting room, a rest room, and a small living room for intimate conversations. When the two of them sat down in the living room, Liuhuo didn't talk to Long Xing, and directly picked out the words.

"I have reached an agreement with the ancestor of the Yu family to jointly recognize your Long family's right to rule the Chu State, and you don't have to worry about changing the dynasty, but I know the temper of Yu Fei and Yu Qilin very well, those two people don't dare to deal with you openly, and they will secretly retaliate, your personal safety is a little worrying..."

Long Xingkong was a little happy when he heard the first half, but as soon as the second half came out, he immediately frowned.

"Hey... How can I not understand what you said, but at the moment this situation can preserve the bloodline of my Long family and the continuation of the Chu Dynasty, I am already grateful, as for my personal life and death, it can only be left to fate..."

Liuhuo looked at the lonely Long Xingkong, his fingers subconsciously tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, and after a while, he suddenly spoke.

"To say a word of arrogance, now with the strength of your Dragon Family, it is really impossible to protect you, even if there are some awakened and sword masters in your Hidden Dragon Society, the strength is too weak. If you don't worry, I can garrison troops in Tiandu City, and my Black Iron Legion will protect you, you have seen the combat effectiveness of my subordinates in the past three days, I think, it is no problem to save your life at a critical moment..."

As soon as Liuhuo said this, Long Xingkong was stunned, his first thought was fear, he was afraid that Liuhuo would also stretch out his magic hand to himself like the Yu family, but then he thought about it again, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, there are two common enemies of the Yu family and the Li family, I think Liuhuo will not attack me, at least before the death of the Yu family, it will not attack me, so that our Long family will have another insurance.

"Lord Liuhuo's kindness, how dare Long Xingkong not report it, but there is a place for my Long family, please speak, and you will not give up in the next ten thousand deaths..."

Flowing fire used him to kneel, he gently picked up Long Xingkong, and pressed it to the chair, "It's the little sixth son who chatted with you just now, I'll leave him for you, and by the way, leave another 5,000 militia groups..."

"Don't underestimate these 5,000 militia soldiers, these people are actually quasi-black iron legions, and all standards have been met, it is because I have not expanded the army that I have wronged them to become this militia group. I'll send a few dozen more Skywalkers to the edge of the Imperial City, and your safety will be guaranteed..."

Liuhuo shook his hand, stopped Long Xingkong's thousand thanks, and said, "I'm not helping you in vain, I'm going to hold a imperial examination in Peishui next year, anyway, I'm also a prince, and I also have this right to open a imperial examination, you will help me make a holy decree when the time comes, and use your name to help me build momentum." I have too few Wenchen in my hands..."

Long Xingkong was a little surprised, he really couldn't think of why Liuhuo wanted to open the imperial examination, why put so many mortal ministers in the power of the Awakened? Liuhuo had money and nowhere to spend it? But he didn't dare to ask too much at all, just nodded vigorously.

Liuhuo has too many things now, and he doesn't have time to chat with Long Xing, after the serious things are finished, he won't talk nonsense, get up to see off the guests, when Liuhuo led Long Xingkong to the big tent, Liuhuo suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I am very optimistic about your son Dragon Vein, I vaguely feel that he has the potential to break through, if you can rest assured, let him live in Dawang City for a while longer..."

In a word, Long Xingkong almost cried, could he not be excited about such a big happiness falling on his head? Master Tongxuan has always been close to the Long family, in the past, the good seedlings of the family were handed over to Master Tongxuan, but now that the master is gone, he is worried, and as a result, Liuhuo reached out to help.

Long Xing's empty words were full of tears, "Thank you, thank you..."

After sending Long Xingkong away, Liuhuo still didn't pay attention to the militia officers who knelt outside the tent, and he still had to torture their temperament.

Sitting alone in the big tent, Liuhuo thought, not only to review the bits and pieces of this war, but also to carefully consider the issue of the militia's private dispatch of troops.

Soldiers take obedience as their duty, but today, Peishui's militia has reminded the flow of fire, whether they are too good to the army, too much support, if this kind of sign is not killed, how can it be good in the long run.

Just as Flowing Fire frowned and sighed, a gentle step walked from behind Flowing Fire, and his soft hands were placed on Flowing Fire's shoulders and gently rubbed.

Don't guess, it must be Suzaku, all old husbands and wives, Suzaku's footsteps and techniques have long been familiar.

"Don't you worry about Xiao Liuzi and their affairs? Don't think too deeply, these militia groups are also meritorious, and these people are all soldiers you brought out, can you still not believe them?"

"You have done a good job, send them to Tiandu City and give them some tasks, they will naturally not be idle every day to make a fire, and aren't you going to open the imperial examination in Peishui?

I don't know if Suzaku's hand was a little heavier, or if Suzaku's eyes frightened the flowing fire. Anyway, Suzaku said all these words, and he went to his heart, this is really an old husband and wife, and the degree of tacit understanding is simply against the sky. The fit is estimated to be 99%.

Flowing Fire patted her hand lightly, and with a long sigh, she leaned her head between the plump peaks, and the exhausted Flowing Fire had fallen asleep in the blink of an eye.

Flowing fire is so tired.
