Hei Tier looked at Chen Lin as if asking for help.

Chen Lin was about to step forward, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Xuan Sizhe's mood fell back into depression, and two lines of cloudy tears slowly slipped down his lifeless face, "Could it be...... Don't...... Heaven is going to kill me......"

Hetier persuaded sadly, "Your Majesty, you must take care of your body, just wait for your body to recover, and Weichen will enter the imperial capital with you......"

Xuan Sizhe burst out with a miserable laugh, and it took a long time to calm down, and at this moment his mind suddenly cleared up, "The golden dragon has left me, I'...... Again...... How can you continue to live in this world......

Hei Tieer felt a deep sadness in his heart, the Xuan Sizhe in front of him was no longer the generation of overlords who used to guide the country and laugh proudly on the battlefield, his life was about to come to an end, and what about himself? Hetier silently asked himself, how much time did he have left in his life? Will you be able to wash away the shame of the emperor who is loyal to you in your lifetime?

Xuan Sizhe stared at Chen Lin and said, "Find my daughter and give her this scepter with your own hands...... He took out a pure gold scepter full of gems from the pillow and solemnly handed it to Chen Lin's hand.

Everyone present felt extremely surprised, Xuan Sizhe was about to die, his mind had become confused, and he actually handed over such an important matter to an outsider.

Xuan Sizhe shuddered, and took out a secret edict that had already been written, and handed it to Hetier: "You and I are kings and ministers, and we are also brothers, if it weren't for you...... A great help over the years...... I won't be on the throne either...... Sit peacefully until today......" He said a big call, and at this moment his physical strength was no longer available, and he gasped for a while before continuing, "Important things, I have completely written on it...... You...... You must help me...... Do a good job ......"

Hetier knelt down on his knees in front of Xuan Sizhe and respectfully accepted the secret edict.

Xuan Sizhe said, "I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have gone on the expedition...... before he finished speaking, his body collapsed on the bed weakly, and his arms fell weakly.

"Your Majesty!" Hetier's old tears were rampant.

Chen Lin stretched out his hand and touched Xuan Sizhe's pulse, and then probed his snort, convinced that he was dead, and said gloomily, "The emperor has died!" ”

Fei Na sobbed softly, and Wolf Yuan was also in tears, sighing.

Although Hetieer's heart fell into great grief, the expression on his face had regained his usual composure, he stretched out his big hand, slowly closed the eyes that were still open for Xuan Sizhe, and said in a low voice, "This matter must not be disclosed to the fourth person, otherwise I will take his life!" His eyes fell on Chen Lin's face, obviously thinking that Chen Lin was the most likely person to leak this secret.

Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to look at me like this, it won't do me any good to leak this matter now." ”

Hetier ordered Wolf Yuan, "You go back and straighten out your army immediately, and we will withdraw our army tonight!" ”

"Withdrawal?" Fina and Wolf Yuan were taken aback at the same time.

Wolf Yuan objected in a low voice, "Great Shuai, the Tiger Pass is vulnerable to attack, and if we stay here, we will have a barrier to compete with the army of Lander, and withdrawing the army now is not equivalent to completely opening the door of the empire to the enemy?" ”

Hetier said coldly, "Your Majesty has died, and we are staying in the Tiger Pass to defend it, who is guarding the gate for?" ”

"But there are still countless people in Xuanwu Kingdom...... "Fina thought a little more.

If you want to fulfill the emperor's last wish, you must preserve the strength of our army to the greatest extent, and the emperor's death will not be concealed for too long, we must retreat to the 'Cloud Piercing City' in the north before this matter is exposed, where the city walls are high and wide, vulnerable to attack, the land is fertile, and the people's hearts are loyal, which can be used as a foothold for our future counterattack. ”

Chen Lin already understood what he meant from Hei Tier's words, it seems that Hei Tier's real worry is that he will be attacked on his back, if the prince Xuan Kite's gang gives him another blow from behind, I am afraid that Hei Tier will never turn over in the future.

"Sometimes a retreat is not necessarily an offense, and holding on to strength is the greatest victory." ”

Wolf Yuan respectfully said goodbye to Hetier, "Dashuai, I'll go and arrange the retreat." ”

Chen Lin was about to go out with him, but he heard Hai Tieer say, "Fina, you take care of Mr. Chen, don't let him get lost in the army." ”

Of course, Chen Lin knew that Hei Tieer meant to let Fei Na spy on him, and he didn't mind, after all, this series of things had happened, and Hei Tieer was already very lucky that he didn't kill himself, not to mention that it was not a good thing for him to be able to stay with Fei Na.

The three of them walked out of the camp one after another, and Wolf Yuan didn't care about saying goodbye to Chen Lin, so he left first.

In the wind and rain, Tetur still stood there with Rong Xiaoqing, chasing the girl to such a point, which is rare to see.

Seeing Chen Lin and Fina coming out, Tetur and Rong Xiaoqing greeted them at the same time, and asked loudly, "Brother, why have you been there for so long?" ”

Chen Lin said in a low voice, "Marshal, let's follow General Fina to her station." ”

"What?" Rong Xiaoqing couldn't believe his ears, he thought that he could finally get rid of this annoying Tetur, but he didn't expect the marshal to order them to go to the women's camp.

Tetur was very happy, he looked at Rong Xiaoqing proudly, but from Chen Lin and Fei Na's expressions, he also vaguely felt that something was wrong with the situation, temporarily put away the rippling spring love in his head, and followed Fei Na and the two to the women's camp with Chen Lin.

A few people didn't go too far before they heard screams from all over the barracks, and Fina frowned, wondering what was going on in the barracks? She whispered to Rong Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, go and see, what happened?" ”

After receiving the order, Rong Xiaoqing quickly walked into the front camp, and it didn't take long for him to rush back in a panic, and said in a panic, "It's not good, it's not good!" ”

Fei Na glared at her fiercely, "This is a military camp, what are you shouting about?" ”

Rong Xiaoqing didn't care about pleading, and continued, "Many soldiers in the barracks are complaining of stomach pain, and many of them are rolling on the ground in pain, it seems that they must have eaten unclean food. ”

"What?" Finami's eyes widened.

Chen Lin was the first to react: "You take me to see!" ”

Rong Xiaoqing led them to the front barracks, and the wails in the camp tent came and went, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, and it became more and more desolate.

Chen Lin opened one of the tents and walked in, but saw that all the six or seven soldiers in the tent were rolling on the ground in pain, and then the faint light in the tent could see that their faces had turned a miserable green, and the serious ones were still spitting out fishy green water.

"It's poisoning!" Such a thought suddenly flashed through Chen Lin's mind.

The situation was far more serious than what Chen Lin had seen, most of the 150,000 troops stationed in the Tiger Pass began to fall ill, and the entire military camp fell into an extreme panic in a short period of time.

The sudden occurrence of the situation made the tiger pass full of death.

"More than 5,000 soldiers have died...... Rong Xiaoqing quietly passed the latest news to Fina.

Chen Lin observed the leftovers in the cauldron with a stern face, all the soldiers who fell ill were ill in a short time after dinner, and what they had in common was that they ate the grain and grass escorted by Wolf Yuan.

Fei Na asked Chen Lin in a low voice, "Is it the plague?" ”

Chen Lin didn't speak, the old horse in front of him suddenly let out a wail, green spit appeared in his lips, and he fell to the ground with convulsions.

Chen Lin pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I just fed it grain and grass." ”

Fei Na's heart sank, and she understood what Chen Lin meant by what she said.

Tetur asked curiously, "Why did Wolf Yuan poison the grain and grass?" ”

Chen Lin Huo Ran turned around, "Wolf Yuan won't!" There must be someone else doing this! ”

There was a commotion behind him, but it was the handsome Hei Tieer who rushed to hear the news, and Fei Na hurriedly greeted him and informed Hei Tier in detail of what they had just discovered.

Unspeakable sorrow welled up in Hetier's heart, and he was finally put on the side by a potential enemy. The wind and rain pressed his gray curly sideburns against his resolute face, and Hetier suddenly roared, "Get me the ...... of Wolf Yuan" but his soldiers did not move, because they had already seen Wolf Yuan riding a unicorn speeding towards this side.

Without waiting to come to Hetier, Wolf Yuan turned over and jumped down, kneeling down in the mud, his eyes full of tears of guilt, "Handsome!" Wolf Yuan made this big mistake and was willing to bear all the punishment! ”

Hei Tieer glared at Wolf Yuan, strode in front of him, suddenly raised his right foot, and kicked Wolf Yuan to the ground, "Bastard, you actually designed to harm me!" ”

Wolf Yuan wept and said, "Wolf Yuan doesn't want to shirk responsibility, I really didn't know that the grain and grass transported would cause such a catastrophe." ”

"Don't know?" Like an enraged lion, Hetier said, "Why are you all right?" ”

Wolf Yuan said, "Dashuai, according to the system, the grain and grass we use on the way and the grain and grass we transport are separated. ”

Hetier looked around the military camp around him, only to see countless soldiers rolling and wailing in the camp, the anger in his heart became even more uncontrollable, and his big hand slowly fell on the scimitar at his waist.

Wolf Yuan roared sadly, "Don't work hard, Wolf Yuan will break it by himself!" With lightning speed, he pulled out the short knife from his waist and closed his eyes and stabbed himself into the heart with all his might.

Everyone exclaimed in unison, but Wolf Yuan's knife did not fall, and Chen Lin, who had already calculated that he would make this move, firmly hugged his body from behind, preventing Wolf Yuan's self-killing.

"Let go of me!" Wolf Yuan roared loudly.

Chen Lin said angrily, "Wolf Yuan, why did you die if you didn't do it?" ”

Wolf Yuan said with tears in his eyes, "The whole thing started because of me, and I must be responsible for this matter!" ”

Chen Lin laughed, he shook his head vigorously and said, "Do you think that losing your life can offset the impact of this incident?" ”

Wolf Yuan shook his head silently.

Chen Lin said, "If you are a man, you will puff up your chest to compensate for the mistakes you have compensated, what is the difference between committing suicide and evading responsibility now?" ”

Wolf Yuan's heart shook violently, and he looked at Chen Lin with tears in his eyes.

Tetur said loudly: "Chen Lin is right! If it's a man, hurry up and remedy this matter, and when the matter is done, it's not too late to die! ”

Rong Xiaoqing glared at Tetur fiercely, this red-haired and black-skinned guy was really annoying.

Fei Na stared at Chen Lin, her beautiful eyes showed a light of appreciation, Chen Lin showed courage at the critical moment beyond ordinary people, this is the real man.

Hei Tieer has calmed down at this time, Wolf Yuan is the general he admires the most, and his father Wolf Xunqi is his best friend, Hei Tieer will not believe that Wolf Yuan will betray him, but how to clean up the chaotic situation in front of him? He glanced at Chen Lin coldly, "You are so bold!" ”

Fei Na was shocked, thinking that Hei Tieer was going to be angry with Chen Lin, and when she was about to persuade Hei Tieer, Hei Tieer had already turned around, "You can deal with this matter yourself!" He actually walked towards the camp.

Fei Na looked at Chen Lin as if asking for help, and Chen Lin said, "This matter is a bit tricky, we first ensure that the number of poisoned soldiers will not increase." ”

Rong Xiaoqing said, "Just now I have already sent an order to all the troops to stop eating, please count the number of poisoned soldiers, and the detailed number will be reported soon." ”

Chen Lin nodded and said, "At present, I can't determine what the toxins mixed in the grain and grass are, so I can only clean the soldiers' intestines and stomachs according to the routine to see if we can alleviate the symptoms of their poisoning." ”

caused such a catastrophe, Wolf Yuan had already lost his mind, and at this time, his emotions stabilized slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Chen Lin, you have to help me no matter what this time." ”

Chen Lin patted him comfortingly on the shoulder, "I just observed that there are a lot of careners and ferns in the city, you ask the soldiers who are not poisoned to collect as many of these two things as possible, the more the better!" ”

"I'll do it right away!" Wolf Yuan was able to face reality in a short period of time and showed his inner strength.

In a short period of time, the herbs picked on the central square of the camp had been piled up, and Chen Lin and Fei Na personally led the two hundred elite warriors of the women's battalion to set up ten cauldrons on the square to cook the herbs, and the air in the camp was filled with the rich aroma of herbs.

Tetur came to Chen Lin's side and asked curiously, "What can these medicinal soups do?" ”

Chen Lin said, "Pitcher and fern can cause a violent reaction in the human gastrointestinal tract, vomiting and diarrhea after taking it, and have the effect of cleaning up the stomach and intestines, because I lack the necessary detection methods, so I can only use this method." ”

Tetur sighed, "Doesn't that mean that there is very little hope for these poisoned soldiers to recover?" If the army of the Lander Empire comes over now, the Tiger Pass will definitely be finished! ”

Rong Xiaoqing was helping to distribute the decoction not far from them, and when he heard Tetur's words, he couldn't help but glared at him angrily and said, "You seem to want the Landers to call?" ”

Tetur laughed, "What's in it for me to call the Landers?" We are now in the same boat, and I will grow old with you for a hundred years. He didn't miss any opportunity to harass Rong Xiaoqing.

Rong Xiaoqing was already surprised by his shameless appearance, snorted, and did not continue to investigate.

The specific number of poisoned soldiers was finally ascertained, and the number of poisoned soldiers reached an astonishing 95,000, a huge number that accounted for most of the soldiers stationed at Huju Pass, which meant that the combat effectiveness had dropped by more than half in a short period of time.

Chen Lin distributed the boiled decoction to the poisoned soldiers to take, and almost all the soldiers showed symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea after taking it, which alleviated the damage to their bodies from unknown toxins to a certain extent, but also caused a sharp decline in their physique on another level, even if Chen Lin used this method to detoxify them successfully, the weak bodies of these soldiers could not talk about any combat effectiveness.

Standing on the majestic city wall of Tiger Pass, Marshal Hetier silently stared in the direction of his own military camp, and his miserable howls were incessant, becoming more and more poignant in the quiet night. He has experienced many battles and faced countless dangerous and desperate situations in his life, but the word defeat has never thought of in his heart.

This time it was completely different, and he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of frustration, not only because most of his soldiers were poisoned, nor because there were 300,000 Blue German troops stationed outside the city. It's because he suddenly lost his purpose and lost his direction.

The sudden death of the emperor at this time was a huge blow to Hetier, in his heart the emperor was the most powerful dragon warrior in the Xuanwu Empire, and his closest comrade-in-arms, but the sudden cold arrow shot through the emperor's heart, and also shot through the strong confidence that Heitier had accumulated for a lifetime, he lost the emperor, like a fish leaving the sea on which he lived, where will his future go?

A gust of night wind blew, and Hetier couldn't help but shiver, and he wrapped his coat tightly, only then did he notice the sound of soft breathing beside him, and Fina had been standing quietly behind him for a long time.

Hatier pursed his parched lips, "What's wrong?" ”

A smile of relief appeared on Fei Na's beautiful face, "Chen Lin is really a good doctor, after taking the decoction according to his method, most of the poisoned soldiers vomited and diarrhea, most of the toxins in the body should have been successfully discharged, the number of soldiers who died is not more than six thousand at present, it seems that the situation will not continue to deteriorate......"

Hatier shook his head slowly.

Fina, who didn't understand the meaning of his gesture, looked at him in confusion.

"Gather the soldiers who are not poisoned and retreat in the direction of Cloud Piercing City." ”

Fei Na was puzzled, "Commander, but most of the soldiers are still extremely weak now, and withdrawing the army now is equivalent to giving the tiger to the Landers." ”

Hetier sighed, "Do you think this city can stand it? ”

Fina was silent, with their current condition, their morale was low, and they ran out of food and grass, and they could last three days at most.

"Rather than all trapped here and waiting for death, it is better to preserve the living force before the Landers launch a general attack." ”

Fei Na said, "Dashuai, Fei Na is willing to stay and defend the city!" ”

Heitier's deep eyes stared at Fina for a long time, as if he had seen through her intentions, and said in a low voice, "Are you staying for Chen Lin?" ”

Fina's heart was beating faster, but she quickly shook her head, "Fina can't bear to see these more than 90,000 soldiers sacrifice their lives in the Tiger Pass like this, if I can keep it for one more day, the commander will be able to lead them to escape farther." ”

Hei Tier slowly walked to the female wall, put his hands on the arrow battlement, and looked into the distance towards the camp of the army of the Lander Empire. With less than 60,000 fighters in his hands who still have combat effectiveness and the opponent's 300,000 army, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, Hetier is not afraid of death, but, he can't forget the emperor's dying entrustment, he is his only hope to realize his last wish, if he and his 60,000 soldiers are all wiped out in the tiger pass, the emperor's last wish is equivalent to complete shattering.

Fei Na said softly, "Do you think that the strength of the Lander army this time has changed amazingly compared to before, and both tactics and equipment have made great progress. ”

Hetier clasped his hands into fists and patted them on the arrow stack: "There must be a mysterious force behind the Landers to help them!" "In fact, Emperor Xuan Sizhe once said before his death that the strength of the Landers alone would never be able to defeat him.

Fei Na nodded silently, "I wonder if all this is related to the Demon Emperor Qiu Chan?" ”

Hearing this name, even though he was as strong as Hei Tier, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear, and he said after a long time, "If the Illusory Sea Cloud Palace is not found for a day, the Demon Emperor Qiu Chan will not have a chance to escape from the seal......"

A reverberating drum interrupted Hatier's words, and he and Fina looked up at the enemy camp at the same time, only to see that the camp of Rand's army began to disperse and gather in an orderly manner, preparing for the dawn attack.

"Please!" After leaving these words, Hetier walked under the city wall without hesitation.

Chen Lin rubbed his sour eyes, he hadn't closed his eyes all night, and both his physical strength and energy were in an overdraft state.

Teitul, who had been missing for a long time, came out of the crowd and came to Chen Lin's side with a large bowl of water, "Brother, drink water!" Chen Lin took it with a smile.

Tetur said, "This water was sent to me by Fina, and it contains a piece of her affection for you. ”

Chen Lin smiled: "Then why didn't she send it herself?" "Open your mouth and gulp and drink it all.

The god of Tetur mysteriously pulled Chen Lin to a place where no one was, and said in a low voice, "Brother, the situation is not right, I heard that Hetier has led people to retreat from the north gate, it's time for us to think about leaving." ”

Chen Lin was slightly stunned, from the actions of the imperial soldiers, he had already sensed that the army was beginning to retreat, but he didn't expect that Hetier, who was the commander-in-chief, would be the first to withdraw. "How do you know?"

"The tone I got from Rong Xiaoqing's mouth......" Tetur suddenly saw Wolf Yuan striding towards them, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

Wolf Yuan came to the two of them and said, "I'm looking for you two!" ”

Chen Lin pretended to be casual, pointed to the departing soldiers in front of him and said, "Have you started to retreat?" ”

Wolf Yuan nodded unabashedly, and said in a low voice, "The marshal has decided to retreat, the vanguard has withdrawn, and the second group of troops will be withdrawn at dawn, and I will be in charge of commanding it, so you can go with me." ”

Chen Lin looked around at the soldiers who were still weak and fell to the ground, and said, "What should they do?" ”

Wolf Yuan showed a very unbearable expression on his face, and said in a low voice, "There are about 30,000 soldiers who are unable to walk, and the marshal has decided to let them stay in the Tiger Pass to recuperate temporarily, and by the way, help General Fei Na defend the city." ”

"What?" Chen Lin's eyes widened, "Isn't Fina leaving?" ”

。
