Chapter 15: The Way of the Emperor

The thunder was rushing, the rain was falling quickly, and soon there was a terrible scene that would make people in it, no, it should be said that even bystanders, would sincerely feel awe and fear, it was a magnificent spectacle that belonged to nature!

The sky overhead had darkened, and the clouds had fallen very low, giving people a sense of depression that seemed to be within reach, but could not breathe, and fell heavily on the hearts of everyone around, and the clouds were rolling, moving extremely fast, looking like a living thing.

The lower it was pressed, the more the clouds faded from the oppressive black color, and turned into a deep, like the deep blue of the sea, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning, and the thunder scurried in the thick clouds, and a wonderful pattern like branches appeared, which illuminated the heavens and the earth in an instant, and after a few breaths, you would hear the thunder rolling, breathtaking, and a buzz between heaven and earth.

Successive lines of rain slanted down from the sky, as if falling endlessly, the river surface that was originally just a dark tide surging was full of exploding splashes, the river water then rose more and more, the upstream water rushed down, and even formed a wave of waves, fluttering and slapping on the bank, this came and went, the mud and sand on the bank fell into the river together, and suddenly the color of the river was rendered more and more dark, between heaven and earth, there were strong winds swept in all directions, and the water flow became more and more rapid, as if the iron horse was turbulent, unstoppable。

This is the great power formed by the nature of heaven and earth, and it is a terrible force that will make all things and all spirits feel fear and helplessness, and it already takes great courage to stand in it with a straight chest.

This storm is actually not accidental, because this is the last round of rainy season in the patriotic tradition, and Gu Xuan and others can only be blamed for being unlucky, and they don't know the weather.

Standing on the top of the cliff on the opposite side of the river bank like a solid barrier, Wei Chi Lide wore a complete set of family heirloom dark red armor, standing quietly on the edge of the cliff, looking at the opposite side completely by his eyes, the top of the tent was hidden in a black curtain, and the tent that could only be barely seen at the moment of electric flashing showed a subtle smile on his face.

In such weather, it can't be said that it is heaven's help, but at the very least, it is impossible for the other party to cross the river from here at this time, I can't say, I am probably going to be forced to transfer, because the river has risen higher and higher with the continuous rain, not to mention that the other party's subordinates are all Rakshasa tribes who don't know water at all, even those who are familiar with the water nature of the waves, they don't dare to go into the water in this situation, because it is simply self-defeating, a wave hits, the whirlpool turns, and no matter how brave the man is, he has to be sucked down and become a ghost in the river.

But if the other party chooses to transfer because of this, it will be a big trouble, although then the other party will spend more than half a month to come to the capital, but in the end, he is not clear about the situation on the front line, the back and forth is so far, the news transmission is extremely slow, once he is defeated and the capital falls, he will also become David's sinner through the ages, so he has not completely relaxed.

If the other party really takes advantage of this opportunity, taking advantage of the thunderstorm night, leaving some troops to pretend that they are still here, and the other troops go around to other places, once he is slow, these 10,000 people will not be able to go back, can the capital be defended, even if the water in the shallows has risen, but everything is afraid of what happens.

The more this kind of seems to be in the right place at the right time, and when you think you have the chance to win, the more you can't relax.

Thinking of this, he immediately turned his head and ordered the soldiers who were still waiting beside him: "Immediately let Han Yong take all three thousand people to patrol along the river, there must be no mistakes, and you must beware of the enemy sneaking across the river from elsewhere!"

After finishing the order, the old man suddenly felt a little aggrieved in his heart, although he was a little untrained and unaware of the Rakshasa clan, but how much better could he be here, what Imperial City Praetorian Guards, in fact, it was just a group of idlers who ate empty salaries, and there were few who had really been on the battlefield, it could only be said that they were better than ordinary people, and in the case of inferior troops, frontal combat must be avoided as much as possible.

"Go back! just leave a team to keep watch, and nothing will happen tonight." ”

On such a terrible thunderstorm, he concluded that it was impossible for the enemy to forcibly cross the river from this place at such a time, and in addition, he was still old, and the rain was pouring on his body, and the cold was deep to the bones, which was indeed very uncomfortable, so he took people back first, just in case, or left a team of people to guard temporarily.

At the same time, on the opposite side of this moat-like cliff, on the dark riverbank.

The torrential rain hit the tent with a crackling sound, and the wind shook the whole solid tent violently like a big hand, and a tall Rakshasa warrior hid inside, as if he were a poor and helpless little beast.

In the largest tent in the center, Gu Xuan held the flickering oil lamp in one hand, his face was resolute, he looked at the map in front of him intently, and the charcoal in the other hand kept sketching on it as a supplement.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, slowly getting bigger, and soon a voice came from outside the tent, linguistically speaking, it was obviously a man from the Rakshasa clan, and his tone was very respectful, but also with a sense of fear and flattery.

"Lord Wang!"

Gu Xuan was too attentive, and the tent was shaking all the time, so he didn't notice these at all, until the other party suddenly spoke, he was slightly stunned, his frowning brows immediately relaxed, and his tone rarely lost so much majesty, and said calmly: "Come in." ”

The transliterated name of the person who came in was Sack, who was originally a member of the Ghost Vulture tribe and a subordinate of Morobeti, so he was the most loyal group of people, plus he was very brave, so he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, according to Da Liang's official position, he was regarded as the head of a thousand households, and there was such a relationship, plus Gu Xuan's earth-shattering three arrows, the entire team, including him, did not disagree.

With a look of reverence on his face, Sack bent down and respectfully greeted him with the etiquette of the human race: "Lord Wang, are you looking for me?"

Seeing this, Gu Xuan's eyes were unexpectedly unbearable, he put down the charcoal in his hand, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Sack." ”

Sack just straightened up, quickly bent down again, and learned to hug his fists and say, "Here!"

Gu Xuan opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed heavily, and asked softly: "Sack, what do you think in your heart, can you talk to this king?"

Sack was stunned by the question, completely unaware of what the other party was talking about, and immediately raised his head, his dark face full of doubts.

Seeing this, Gu Xuan opened his mouth again and explained to him: "You and the others have left the hometown where they have lived for generations, and they have come here all the way with this king, and they are still in danger of dying at any time. ”

After hearing this, Sack was relieved, grinned, and showed a mouthful of contrasting white teeth, he said: "We Brahmana have followed the strong for generations, and death is also the glory of warriors, as long as the prince gives an order, I will never retreat!"

Gu Xuan shook his head and couldn't help but say: "No one should die, no one needs to die for the ideals and glory of others, unless that is also the goal you want to pursue, everyone should cherish life, because only by living will it be useful, do you understand?"

Saying that, he also stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder gently, but Sark looked unclear, with his brain, he didn't know why the prince said this, in his opinion, retreating is the incompetence of the weak, it is a waste to be spurned, desperate to survive completely violates their old beliefs, but he did not directly oppose it out of respect.

After a pause, Gu Xuan finally said his purpose.

"Sack, don't talk about the other kings, this time, this king needs you, take on the vanguard, can you do it?"

Yes, Lan Yunxuan didn't have any strategy at all, or the strategy was just to cross the river, and if he wanted to cross the river from here, he would have to forcibly cross the river in this weather, and kill the enemy by surprise!

And what about Sack, of course he understands what the vanguard means, to put it simply, it is the team with the largest casualty rate, but it is also the most glorious task, because in the Rakshasa clan, those who charge ahead are the real strong, is this the prince acknowledging his strength?

As soon as he thought of this, he even dissipated his fear of the great river he had never seen before, but his face was happy, and he even clenched his fists with some excitement and said: "Yes, my lord! I, I will, no, I am willing, I am very willing to be your pawn!"

Gu Xuan waved his hand and said a little abruptly: "Go, it's not the time yet, inform them, hurry up and cut down trees and prepare a bamboo raft!"

On the night of a thunderstorm, cutting down trees, not to mention whether they will be struck by lightning, just this cold rain falls on the body, people with normal physique will have a serious illness, and those with weaker physique may really die.

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

Sack clenched his fists and left overjoyed.

The moment the tent was opened, the cold wind that I couldn't wait for for a long time instantly rushed in, carrying the rain on Gu Xuan's body, cold and ruthless, it was the breath of nature alone.

Perhaps, that is also what an emperor in the world should look like, the monarch is like the sky, and the heart is short-sighted.

The ruthlessness of the Tao lies in taking all things as a dog, and the emperor is the same, there is no bias, only the difference between being able to use, should be used, and not available, the courtiers are still divided into loyal traitors, can the emperor be divided, they just sit on the dragon chair, look at the living beings under their feet, everything is based on the greatest interests, and these so-called sacrifices are actually just things that they say lightly.

This was the first time Gu Xuan had comprehended what an emperor looked like, it was not only a special majesty, but more importantly, a ruthlessness that was almost heavenly Dao.
