Chapter Fifty-Eight: Xi Jian's Return

Liu Shiyu's army began to return to the city in the afternoon. When they came, due to the opening of the mountain and the construction of roads, the army walked for nearly ten days, and now it only takes two or three days to return.

The 6,000-strong army, after repeated battles with the Beifu soldiers and Xiong'an Village, more than 1,000 people were killed, more than 1,000 people were wounded, and the combat strength was less than 4,000 people.

Of the 300 soldiers in Xiong'an Village, more than 100 were killed and more than 100 were wounded, leaving less than 100 combat strength.

Liu Shiyu was also helpless to withdraw at this time, his vigor had been lost, and there was not enough food and grass; there were more than 2,000 Beifu soldiers beside him; and he did not know the battle situation in Xiong'an Village.

"The owner of the village, the army has withdrawn!"

Qin Ming and the others in Xiong'an Village could not see the slightest joy on their faces. The loss of more than 100 brothers weighed heavily on the hearts of the people.

"Continue to strengthen the defense, don't be careless. The dead brothers are buried and the wounded brothers are recuperated in peace. Kill my brother today, and tomorrow he will pay back a hundredfold!"

Liu Shiyu's carriage was in the center of the line, and at this time, he was wearing armor and listening to his subordinates' reports expressionlessly.

"Great marshal, a large number of Beifu soldiers have gathered in the five-mile dense forest on the west side, and there should be a surprise attack on our army. ”

"Very well, go down. ”

That night, when Liu Shiyu's army camped and rested, the Beifu soldiers attacked the camp and hit Liu Shiyu's ambush, Liu Shiyu personally went into battle, and the Beifu soldiers left more than 500 corpses and left, and after the next two days, no Beifu soldiers appeared.

In the next few days, Ma Yun was extremely busy, and among the more than 100 people injured, more than a dozen people died of their injuries one after another. The rest of the injuries have finally stabilized for the time being. The little mysterious energy that Ma Yun recovered was used to heal everyone.

Tong Guanshan's injuries were very serious, and he was unconscious, relying on Ma Yun to deliver energy to him to save his life. Ma Yun himself has not recovered well, and the loss of qi and blood is not something that can be recovered in a short period of time.

On this day, Ma Yun, who was meditating and cultivating, received a report from the guards, saying that someone asked to see him, and the person who came said that it was a soldier from Beifu. The person who came was one of the only two remaining leaders of the Beifu soldiers, the general surnamed Lu, who Ma Yun had seen when he rescued the Beifu soldiers that day.

After some discussion with everyone, the general Lu Shen was welcomed into the mountain. When Ma Yun rescued the Beifu soldiers that day, his face changed and he was covered in blood, so General Lu did not recognize him.

He had been thinking about how to subdue the two thousand Beifu soldiers for the past few days, and now he was very happy to see that he had sent them to the door.

Ma Yun got straight to the point and asked this person what he meant. General Lu Shen was also happy and put forward his own request: I hope that Ma Yun will give them some grain and grass.

Ma Yun hesitated, saying that he could provide food for a few days, but if there was more, I was afraid that there would be nothing that could be done, and General Lu Shen was very grateful.

During the chat, General Lu Shen mentioned that Xi Jian was rescued and poisoned and unconscious, Ma Yun was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said that he had an antidote in his village, which he could try, and handed over the antidote to the poison of the begonia.

As soon as General Lu Shen left, Shangguan Feng came over.

"What advice does Mr. Shangguan have?" asked Ma Yun with a smile.

"The owner of the village seems to be in a good mood?"

"This was all seen by Mr. Shangguan. ”

"Is the owner of the village interested in the Beifu soldiers?" Shangguan Feng asked lightly.

"Tell me the truth, I do have this intention, is there a way for me?"

"I'm willing to lobby for the owner of the village, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed. ”

"I am grateful that my husband can do this. ”

"With the words of the owner of the village, I am relieved. In a moment I will be with the food delivery team. That Xi Jian's poison seems to be still under you. Shangguan Feng's eyes revealed cunning.

"Uh... When Xi Jian wakes up, he must be very weak, so you can bring some supplements. Jack Ma awkwardly staggered the topic.

After taking the antidote, Xi Jian woke up not long after, and the two generals, Lu and Xu, told him what had happened these days.

In this way, Xiong'an Village actually resisted Liu Shiyu's attack. If we don't rebel and attack the cottage, we don't know how many brothers we will lose. When the time comes, Liu Shiyu will sneak attack from behind, and it will be even more tragic. Xi Jian's voice was a little afraid.

"Yes, Dashuai, thanks to that stele, Liu Shiyu was forced to do it in advance. General Lu said in a deep voice.

"And that mysterious person with strong martial arts, he actually waved Gao Yong around, that is a high-level martial artist!" General Xu said with some admiration.

"Do you know the identity of that person?"

"I don't know, Liu Shiyu doesn't seem to know the identity of that person. ”

"Xiong'an Village not only gave us food, but also detoxified me, and I remember this kindness. ”

Xi Jian was in a coma for many days, his physical strength was already exhausted, and his voice was much weaker. Seeing this, the two generals advised him to rest and wait for his strength to recover before making a plan.

After Shangguan Feng delivered the food, he actually asked to stay, saying that it was a rough medical technique, and if General Xi couldn't wake up, he would think of other ways.

After Xi Jian woke up, Shangguan Feng immediately got the news and ordered someone to send those supplements over, and the two generals were even more grateful.

On the second day, Xi Jian, who had been recuperating for a night, recovered well, and was able to get up and walk out of the camp tent and summon Shangguan Feng to express his gratitude. After some politeness, Shangguan Feng began his own lobbying.

"General Xi, there is still a secret matter to discuss, can you..." Shangguan Feng looked at the guards in the tent.

Xi Jian is such an old man, how can he not understand the meaning of Shangguan Feng, and ordered everyone to leave the tent, leaving only Lu and Xu.

"Mr. Shangguan, I have something to say. Xi Jian stared at Shangguan Feng suspiciously.

"I wonder what General Xi's plans are in the future?" Shangguan Feng asked.

"I haven't had time to discuss this matter with the two of them, and I can't answer the sir. ”

"I'm afraid that the food in the army can't accommodate General Xi, so I think about it carefully. Shangguan Feng glanced at the three of them and said with a smile.

"What do you mean by this?" Lu Bijiang's face tightened, and he asked out loud.

"I'm just telling the truth. The smile on Shangguan Feng's face did not diminish in the slightest.

"I have some food in my cottage, enough for the army for half a year. Shangguan Feng continued.

"Sir, please just say what you mean. Xi Jian said in a deep voice.

"I came to persuade you to submit to my Xiong'an Village. Shangguan Feng still maintained that smile.

"What! A cottage also dares to say that our Beifu soldiers will be obedient?" General Xu was furious, and Xi Jian's face also showed displeasure.

"You know, it is our village master who has opened a way out for you in the army; you know that our village master has killed seven high-ranking warriors with a snap of his fingers; you know that my Xiong'an Village has widely accepted the people, accepted refugees, and the owner of the village is kind-hearted and admired by the people in the village; I have never been so optimistic about a person. ”

"It was he who saved us, but I didn't expect him to be so young and his martial arts skills were so high. When General Lu Shen borrowed grain, he saw Ma Yun and said with emotion.

"Although the owner of the village has superb martial arts, chivalrous courage, and saved us, he wants us to be obedient, is it a child's play. After listening to Shangguan Feng's words, Xi Jian showed a look of thought.

"I still have one more word, I can only say it to General Xi. I wonder if you can let me get closer?" Shangguan Feng put away his smiling face, his face serious.

"Sir, please speak closely!" Shangguan Feng walked up to Xi Jian's side, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

After a while, Xi Jian's complexion changed greatly. "You're who—" was shocked in his voice.

"Fang Cai's words, please also ask General Xi to keep it secret for me!" Shangguan Feng shook his head.

Xi Jian quickly recovered from the shock, laughed and said, "In that case, how about we give Mr. an answer after we discuss it again?"

"Then wait for the good news from the general, and I will retreat first. Shangguan Feng finished speaking and left slowly.

"General, if you really want to submit to a cottage, how can you be worthy of the reputation of the Beifu soldiers?"

"Yes, General, we will repay the kindness, but when it comes to surrendering, there is something inappropriate. General Lu also said suspiciously.

"Two virtuous brothers, I decided to submit, half because of the owner of the village, and most of it because of Mr. Shangguan. There was some excitement in Xi Jian's tone.

"Who is Mr. Shangguan who can make the general so respectful. General Lu asked curiously.

"I can't tell his identity, so I can only ask the two virtuous brothers to believe me. Xi Jian said helplessly.

"At this point, the general does not need to say much, we believe in the general. ”

"We have surrendered to the cottage and solved the food worries, we can find a way to capture Najiayuan City, as long as we capture Jiayuan City and recruit troops, the day when our Beifu army will rise again will not be far away. ”

Xi Jian is also an ambitious person, and the deep evil realm has aroused his ambition.

Xi Jian agreed to surrender, and agreed with Shangguan Feng that he would go up the mountain to visit Ma Yun after three days when his body recovered. When Jack Ma heard the news, he was excited, and the grand ambition in his heart was finally realized.

Liu Shi's army of more than 10,000 people besieged a cottage, and the news of the defeat soon spread all over Jiaozhou, and even the neighboring state cities had heard of it, and the reputation of Xiong'an Village was shocked for a while.

Thousands of miles away in the city of Qianwei, King Lu sat at the table with a gloomy face, there were two letters on the table, the ghost of Tsing Yi was nowhere to be seen, and the huge study seemed empty.

"Ghost, Liu Shiyu was defeated. In his letter, he explained that he had used the secret technique of the Hundred Poisonous Body, but he was still defeated. What a great character the owner of the Xiong'an village is. I don't have the confidence to take the body of a hundred poisons, but he can defeat it. Could it really be that he is a master of the Innate Realm?"

Listening to King Lu's intentions, it seemed that he was talking to others in the house, but the house was obviously empty.

"Liu Shiyu has just learned the secret technique of the body of a hundred poisons, and the medicinal power of the water of a hundred poisons is still shallow, and it is normal to be defeated by others. If the master is willing, the ghost is willing to take my twenty-year-old poisonous body and kill the thief village without leaving a piece of armor. A erratic voice came from the darkness.

"How are your injuries?" King Lu asked suddenly.

"My injuries are no longer in trouble, Xie Yanke, you just wait to be my poisonous body. The voice in the darkness said resentfully. It seems that this person seems to have a lot of hatred with Xie Yanke.

"Xiong'an Village has attracted the attention of many forces, and it is not easy for you to be exposed at this time. Find the Golden Hook Casino, they will give as much as they bid. ”

"The ghost understands. The voice in the darkness disappeared as if it had never been there.
