Chapter 110
That night, Ning Yue escaped the eyes and ears of the soldiers of the pioneer battalion with the help of Shen Yidao and successfully returned to the camp tent, and the divine doctor hurriedly began to study the medical case she brought back, worked up a few prescriptions all night, and then went to the camp where the prisoners were held to select one person to transfer to the general of Chu State. Ning Yue's strange behavior of leaving the barracks without permission naturally couldn't hide the eyes of the shadow guards, although An Ruiqi was puzzled, but when he knew that she returned safely, he didn't ask the reason, he was afraid to know, just because the war dragon had disappeared since a few days ago, and it was Shen Yidao from Qingfeng Cottage who sent her back...... A day later, the general of Chu State retired as promised, and Ning Yue told An Ruiqi the ins and outs of the matter. After consulting with An Ruixiang, he decided to release all the captured Chu soldiers and entrust them to bring back the best medicinal materials in the army to the Chu generals as a sign of friendship. Ning Yue saw that the Chu army was far away, and knew that it would be useless to stay for a long time, so he planned to leave early tomorrow. That night, An Ruiqi summoned Ning Yue to his tent for a long talk, and he was still reluctant to leave until late at night. He handed Ning Yue his cherished Molan bag, let her collect it, and return it to him when they saw each other again, Ning Yue looked at the token in his hand, his heart was hot, and his eyes were moist. She knew that An Ruiqi would never lose her trust, even if there were many dangers ahead, as long as she waited patiently, she would definitely be able to wait for the day of his triumph, and this bag that carried his promise to her made her think about it in her restless waiting. In the early morning of the next day, An Ruiqi personally sent the three of them outside the barracks, looking at the figure that gradually disappeared into the white mist, gloomy and sad. The leader of the Shadow Guard was ordered to escort them to the outskirts of the wilderness, and was about to ride his horse back, but was stopped by Ning Yue.
"This big brother, General An is not good at martial arts, so please take care of it in the future. I know that you are loyal to General An, so it is most appropriate for you to keep this item......" After saying that, she saluted the leader and offered the bottle containing the last life-sustaining elixir with both hands.
The leader looked at Ning Yue fixedly, and sighed spontaneously. In the past, he didn't understand why a person with both talent and virtue like An Ruiqi would have a deep affection for such a little girl, but since he learned how Ning Yue went to the Chu army camp alone and persuaded the Chu army to retreat with tricks, he knew that this woman was brave and resourceful, and extraordinary, and now he saw that she did not hesitate to return this rare treasure, so that he had to admit that she was indeed affectionate to An Ruiqi, if he didn't value his life more than his own, how could he hand over this life-saving pill so easily? It's a pity that the two of them are not a good match after all...... The leader sighed, took the medicine bottle in one hand, put it in his arms, and walked away.
In the evening of the same day, the spies lurking in the Qingfeng Cottage reported to the leader that the rebellion in the Qingfeng Cottage had been suppressed. An Ruiqi was overjoyed after hearing this, and there was no worries at the moment, as long as he planned carefully, with the courage of the An family's army, the defeat of Wei Yue's 200,000 troops and horses was just around the corner.
Since Zhan Long and Dou Hu left the pioneer camp with the elite of the cottage, they went straight to the lake next to Qingfeng Village, using the few big trees by the lake as a cover, hiding in the dark, watching the changes, and waiting for a few days. On this day, dozens of traitors drove ballistas and catapults in the direction of the vanguard camp, intending to sneak up from the rear. Just as their group walked to the frozen water, the war dragon led more than a dozen of his subordinates to suddenly appear, blocking the way, frightening them at a loss, and barely steadied their footing in a hurry. Although they were outnumbered and had sharp weapons in hand, they were afraid of the martial arts of the war dragon, so they did not dare to make trouble, and for a while, the two sides were deadlocked.
The war dragon looked directly at them with a fierce gaze, and his whole body exuded a strong aura of slaughter, which made people shudder. "Say, who instructed you to betray Qingfeng Cottage?" War Dragon asked coldly, revealing irreversible majesty and domineering in his tone.
The traitors were frightened when they heard this, and they couldn't help but tremble, and the leader took a few deep breaths, finally calmed down, and replied: "Ridiculous! Our allegiance has never been Qingfeng Cottage, so why betrayal! Those who know each other should quickly give way, otherwise we will not be blamed for not remembering the past. ”
After hearing this, the war dragon sneered and said, "Sure enough, as I expected, since this is the case, I am at ease." ”
After speaking, the war dragon violently pulled out his sword, and the elites behind him also showed their weapons. Seeing this, the traitors hurriedly gathered together and set up a battle formation, expecting that these ten or so people would rush up, but they did not expect that instead of killing the crowd, they scattered and rushed to the ballista and catapult. The traitors were amazed, but then they saw the other party raise their hammers and smash them into the ice, and they knew what they wanted, and tried to stop them, but it was too late, and before long, the ice was covered with cracks of different depths. In this way, Zhan Long and several others waved their blades to block the traitor's attack, while Dou Hu and several other people kept hitting the ice with iron hammers, with the hammer hitting again and again, there were more and more cracks on the ice, and countless cracks were staggered and merged, and finally, with a loud bang, the ice instantly collapsed into a lot of floating ice blocks, and the ice could not bear the weight of the ballista and catapult, and gradually collapsed and sank. In the face of such a behemoth slowly sinking into the water, the traitors had no way to save them, they could only watch them being destroyed, and they couldn't help but grit their teeth with hatred, and wanted to die with the war dragon and others, but they were mediocre and moved freely on the ice floes, and they couldn't even lift their breath to prevent themselves from sinking into the ice water with the ice floes, so they could not lose their lives in vain, and the traitors had to flee and retreat to Qingfeng Mountain. Dou Hu carried the hammer and looked at their embarrassed appearance with high spirits, and was about to ask the war dragon if he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but saw the war dragon standing lonely in the distance, the cold flood had long since submerged his calves, and he seemed to be unaware, just fixed on the ballista and catapult that were slowly swallowed by the flood, his expression was solemn, and there was a faint sadness between his eyebrows. Douhu performed light skills, ran to the side of the war dragon in three steps and two steps, stretched out his hand and pulled, originally trying to lift the war dragon out of the water, but his body was so heavy, and there was no lightness that a person who had achieved light skills should have.
Dou Hu forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart, pulled the war dragon to the surface of the water, secretly stabilized the war dragon, and comforted: "War Dragon, it is a pity to ruin your years of hard work, but it is better than letting them fall into the hands of the wicked...... After he waits for us to revitalize Qingfeng Cottage, he will create a new one! ”
After hearing this, the war dragon suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! Makes sense! "If my heart can be sealed under the ice with them, if you are like them, if you don't belong to me, you don't belong to anyone else, then will this heartache be less?
War Dragon's mournful, almost frantic laughter stunned Dou Hu for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, War Dragon's right foot was already in icy water below the knee.
