Xiao Qiang asked everyone to go down to rest, and he also sat cross-legged under the city wall, seizing the time to heal. γReading.comγ
In the battle with Cao Feixiong, although he won, he also paid a lot of price.
At least three or four bones were broken in his body, and Cao Feixiong's punch in the chest was very domineering, if it weren't for the fire god's chain protection, he was afraid that his internal organs would be shattered on the spot.
Even so, Xiao Qiang's sternum also opened cracks, and his breath would hurt his heart.
Xiao Zhuling was busy with his body, nervously busy, in its impression, the owner seemed to be rarely injured so seriously, and the severity of the injuries made Xiao Zhuling a little worried.
Xiao stressed that after finishing his breath, he took off his Heavenly Demon Battle Suit, took out the healing ointment applied externally, and began to apply it on his body.
Taken internally and externally, coupled with Xiao Zhuling's healing, his body finally began to improve, Xiao Qiang looked at a crack in the Heavenly Demon suit, and felt distressed.
This crack in the chest was cracked by Cao Feixiong's iron fist, and the dense Heavenly Demon Silk cracked a gap, and the effectiveness of the whole dress was greatly reduced, which was completely wasted.
If he has a chance in the future, he will definitely go to the demon clan and get him a hundred or ten pieces to spare, and if he can have such a protective and good-looking clothes, it will be worth it even if he spends more money.
Thinking wildly, a wave of tiredness hit, Xiao Qiang glanced at the silent Zu Xiaofei from the battlement, and after retracting his gaze, he pulled the canopy on his head, changed into a set of dry clothes, leaned on the cold stone wall, closed his eyes and dozed off.
In the middle of the night, Wang Ziqi walked up to the city, walked up to Xiao Qiang, and said in a low voice: "Brother Qiang, Heizi is back, and he is here to pick us up." β
Xiao Qiang opened his eyes, rubbed his red eyes, and walked towards the city wall, without his orders. Wang Ziqi had already arranged for two Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion disciples to stand guard on the city wall.
In the stone house under the cold water, Kuroko walked around uneasily, and the two black boys behind him also walked around with him, and when they saw Xiao Qiang, the two black boys hurriedly dodged and hid behind Kuroko, looking at Xiao Qiang with curious eyes.
"Brother Qiang" Heizi saw Xiao Qiang coming, and his spirits perked up. Hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Kuroko, why did you come back?"
"Brother Qiang. I took a few boys, and the road has been opened, and the fat brother said let me come back quickly and take you to join the army. β
"What is the situation in the swamp, have you found any traces of the Northern Ao?"
Heizi was about to say this, and nodded hurriedly: "There are two groups of people coming towards Hanshui Pass, it is estimated that we will be able to reach Hanshui Pass at dawn, we have to leave immediately, otherwise it will be dawn." They'll definitely find traces of what we've walked through, and it's easy to follow them."
"So fast" Xiao Qiang was surprised, then looked at Wang Ziqi and asked, "Ziqi, are you ready?"
"Brother Qiang, I've been ready for a long time. Although we can go on the road, it's just that those veterans have inconvenient legs and feet, and they may not be able to keep up with our speed. β
"Don't leave a person behind, even if you carry them,"
Xiao Qiang pondered for a moment and made up his mind. "Go first, and when I have slain the guides of the two armies, they will join you. β
While several people were talking, the two teenagers behind Kuroko, perhaps hungry or bored, were taking out a handful of live earthworms and centipedes from their pockets and secretly stuffing them into their mouths. Make a rattling chewing sound.
The half-sections of the centipede and earthworm writhing outside their mouths, creepy.
Heizi had red eyes, a look of embarrassment and panic, hurriedly knocked out the food of the teenagers with his hands, reprimanded a few words in a low voice, and then hurriedly confessed to Xiao Qiang.
Xiao Qiang sighed lightly and said to the sunspot: "Sunspot, from today onwards, a few of them are also scouts of my gentleman's camp, don't let them eat these in the future." β
"Yes, thank you, Brother Qiang" Kuroko wiped a handful of tears, and then pressed the heads of the two black boys and forcibly saluted Xiao.
At dawn, when the swamp was at its darkest, in the misty mist, the 3,000-strong Northern Olympic army slowly walked through the swamp like a set of winding dragons.
The two guides who had been captured at the checkpoint, under the supervision of the three samurai, were quickly scouting the way, and after determining the route, they planted the flagpole on the side of the road and continued on their way.
Everyone didn't notice at all, a pair of bright eyes flashed from the waist-high smoke, and then a black figure stood out.
"What person" The three warriors sensed the murderous aura, drew their swords at the same time, and shouted loudly.
There was a thud, and a bloody hole exploded in the necks of the two guides, and they stood there in a daze, when a gust of wind blew, and the corpses fell to the ground with a bang.
Xiao Qiang struck a blow, and his figure once again hid into the clouds, spreading his dragon wings, almost touching the ground, and flying away into the distance like lightning.
Half an hour later, two guides of the other army were also killed, and the army of 6,000 was trapped in the land of Mizusawa, and the lord was so angry that he had no choice but to send samurai to explore the way.
Although the samurai are powerful, there is no place for them to use it in this vast land of water, even if they fly in the sky, it is impossible to fly in the air for a long time, not to mention that there are flying water snakes and poisonous scorpions that can catapult everywhere in the water.
When the morning came, before the cold water pass, Zu Xiaofei finally opened his eyes, and when he sensed that the city wall was empty, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, flew up, and stood where Xiao Qiang had stood.
Suddenly, he saw a white strip of cloth, his eyes lit up, and his hand probed, and the strip of cloth flew in front of him, with four big characters written crookedly on it: A gentleman's words
Zu Xiaofei smiled happily and muttered, "Xiao Qiang, it really didn't disappoint me, I'm really looking forward to this day coming soon." β
On the third day of the ninth lunar month, the Hanshui Pass was lost, announcing the complete collapse of the outermost checkpoint of the Beihai Principality, and the Northern Olympic army poured in from all checkpoints and began to assemble.
On the same day, the 6,000 Northern Austrian soldiers and horses trapped in the swamp were almost in a desperate situation, and when the rescue force arrived, less than 2,000 of the 6,000 people remained, and the rest were killed by the swamp and the nearby poisonous insects and monsters
Deep in the swamp, there was an overgrown patch of grey-brown earth, with stones embedded in the dirt bulging irregularly, like the back of a crocodile.
On this precious dry land, the thousands of officers and soldiers who had withdrawn from the Cold Water Pass, as well as the generals of the Junzi Battalion, sat neatly on the ground, they did not dare to make a sound, or even gasp for breath, because the surrounding water mist was the best cover, and once the water mist fluctuated, it was likely to expose their tracks.
Kuroko has been away for so long, Brother Qiang, they won't have an accident
The Seven Gentlemen and Situ sat together, one by one, like a stuffy gourd, and their minds were chaotic.
Suddenly, they saw the mist fluctuating in front of them, and several figures appeared, and they couldn't help but be on guard and quietly summoned Xuan Bing.
However, when they saw the person who came, they couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "Brother Qiang" is not finished. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation
