Chapter Thirty-Eight: Guarding the Thunder Pass
Mo Xiaofeng hurried up, and returned to the place where Huai Chong and the others were stationed, the night had already fallen, and the bright moonlight sprinkled all over the mountain, and it was vaguely seen that there were many horses and horses here, there were only three thousand people before, and at least thirty thousand at this time.

Huai Chong and a few others gathered around, not knowing what they were discussing, when they suddenly heard a horse neighing behind them, a few people turned around and looked, Mo Xiaofeng got off the horse. Zhuang Han was overjoyed and shouted, "Second Young Master!"
Mo Xiaofeng came over and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I hope you'll forgive me!"
Huai Chong said: "Second young master, you are back!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Prince Sheyu left me in the palace for a few drinks, and let the two envoys come back first, so I came back a little late!"
Ying Zhong said: "They have reported everything to us, Brother Mo, you have done a beautiful job!" said and patted Mo Xiaofeng's shoulder, and then pointed to a strange general beside him and said, "Come, this is General Zuo Shan of Youguan!" and said to the general: "This is Mo Xiaofeng Brother Mo!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Juniors meet General Zuo!"
Zuo Shan said: "Fortunately, Brother Mo is wise and brave, courageous, let me admire, you and my brother will be commensurate in the future!"
At this time, two more people came out from behind them, and they were Wu Sa and Tang Lie. Wu Sa said: "Brother Mo, I have you to thank you!"
Mo Xiaofeng wondered, why did they come back so quickly, could it be that Stop Flame City was taken? He asked, "General Wu, didn't you go to help General Bohuan attack Stop Flame City, was it that Stop Flame City was taken?"
Wu Sa sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed!"
Mo Xiaofeng asked again, "What's wrong?"
Wu Sa said with a solemn face: "Fortunately, I went in time, otherwise...... Otherwise, my third brother would have been poisoned by them long ago!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "What happened?"
Wu Sa said: " My third brother's 10,000 army was originally going to attack the Flame City, but unexpectedly went to the Red Mouth Valley and was ambushed by the War Demon Clan, they had already set countless traps in front of the valley, and five thousand elite soldiers on the cliffs on both sides threw stones and arrows at our army, our army had no chance to fight back, so they could only retreat, but when they retreated, they were intercepted by the army of the King of Lanye County, and kept saying that they were not allowed to retreat if they killed the enemy with all their might, and my third brother was seriously injured by their arrows, fortunately I and the Tang Lie brothers arrived early, and I was angry and annihilated all the people of the King of Lanye County, and the army of the War Demon Clan withdrew at this time, if it wasn't for my third brother being seriously injured, I would definitely kill the Flame Stopping City, kill them without leaving a piece of armor, but unfortunately my army of 10,000 is only five ...... left in the end Thousand...... If it weren't for the serious injuries of my third brother, I would have killed them in Flame Stopping City and killed them without a single piece of armor!" he said to the end, crying with grief.
Ying Zhong comforted: "Big brother, don't be sad anymore, we will definitely avenge the dead brothers!"
Mo Xiaofeng said, "How is General Bohuan's injury now?"
Ying Zhong said with a sad face: "The arrow wound is not a big deal, it's just ...... His left leg was injured by a boulder thrown from the cliff by the War Demon Clan, and he was afraid that he would ...... in the future I'm going to be crippled!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Where is he now, I'll take a look!"
Ying Zhong said: "Still resting, come with me!"
Mo Xiaofeng followed a few of them to the place where Bohuan was resting, some rags were spread on the grass, and Bohuan was ragged and haggard, lying on it.
Mo Xiaofeng walked over and shouted: "General Bohuan!" Bohuan raised his head to look at him, his lips trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Mo, you are finally back!" As he spoke, he struggled with his elbows and wanted to sit up, Mo Xiaofeng stepped forward to help him and said, "General Bohuan, you lie down and rest first!"
Wu Sa said on the side: "Third brother, I believe you will definitely get better, you slowly heal your injuries first, and leave the rest to us!"
Mo Xiaofeng stood up and said, "General Wu, what should we do next?"
Wu Sa said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult if we go to attack the city, not to mention that General Suoyin's army has not yet come, and with our strength, we are not the opponent of the War Demon King at all!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Didn't General Suo Yin already agree to send troops, why hasn't he come yet?"
Ying Zhong said: "General Suo Yin has already sent someone to come, saying that General Suo Yin is waiting for the 40,000 troops promised to him by the King of Lanye County, but the 40,000 army of the King of Lanye County has not arrived for a long time, and he persuaded us to retreat to the Gathering Thunder Pass if we really can't do it, and wait for the War Demon King to attack the Gathering Thunder Pass, and we will resist the enemy together!"
Huai Chong said: "The War Demon King has not made any movement so far, he must be recuperating, they are very likely to move their troops tomorrow, we must make a decision as soon as possible!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, I found out from the royal city that the War Demon King's dispatch of troops this time was not the intention of the Tai Evil King at all, but the War Demon King's unauthorized troops!"
"Oh?" everyone listened to him talk about the things in the royal city, and said: "The reason why the War Demon King dares to be so rampant must be that there must be a big backer, that is, the Lanye County King, at the moment, the biggest chance for our two sides to win lies in the Lanye County King, as long as the Lanye County King is inclined to which side, which side will be able to win, I expect that the War Demon King should be compromising with the Lanye County King at this time, so the Lanye County King has not handed over the 40,000 troops to General Suo Yin, and the War Demon King has not been able to send troops for a long time!"
Zuo Shan said: "I think the King of Lanye County originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and use the Battle Demon King to fight with us, and then he will reap the benefits of the fisherman, and the final picture is the king's position, as long as the War Demon King does not attack Lan Ye City, he can stand still, and at this time, the War Demon King will turn the spearhead to Lan Ye City, then the Lan Ye County King will definitely not help the War Demon King again!"
Wu Sa said: "The King of Lanye County clearly wants to take the opportunity to weaken our power and then rebel!"
Huai Chong said: "We don't care about the king of Lanye County, if we go to attack Jufeng Pass now, it will be very unfavorable to us, please make a decision as soon as possible, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
Wu Sa said: "I don't think it's impossible to retreat to the Gathering Thunder Pass, but I know that the War Demon King is very good at improvising, I'm worried that if we retreat to the Gathering Thunder Pass, what if the Battle Demon King goes to attack the Hidden Pass again?"
Zuo Shan said: "Don't worry about this, I think the War Demon King and the Lanye County King are just using each other, and the War Demon King is not a person who is willing to suffer, at the moment, the Lanye County King is undecided, and the War Demon King can also see the intention of the Lanye County King, so he will definitely go to the Lanye County King to stir up and stir up, and he will not attack the Youguan again!"
Wu Sa said: "It's not easy to say this, right now it's not the time for the Battle Demon King to offend the King of Lanye County, so the Battle Demon King will definitely avoid him if he tries his best!"
Zuo Shan said: "It's okay, the Youguan is not far from the Gathering Thunder Pass, if he attacks the Youguan, it will be too late for us to go to support, you don't have to worry about it anymore!"
Wu Sa thought for a while and made up his mind: "Okay, then let's retreat to the Gathering Thunder Pass together!"
So Wu Sa and Zuo Shan led the army to Julei Pass.
When he arrived at the gate of Julei Pass, Suo Yin learned that Wu Sa and Zuo Shan were coming with more than 30,000 horses, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate, and he personally went down to greet him. After a few polite words to each other, Suo Yin said: "The generals are tired for a day, and the people are sleepy and tired, come in and rest for the night!" Wu Sa and Zuo Shan led their men into the city, and Suo Yin ordered people to settle all the soldiers.
The next day, Suo Yin gathered several generals together to prepare a strategy to defend against the enemy. Suddenly, a guard came in from outside and said, "Report to the general, the War Demon King sent someone to send a war letter!" Suo Yin said: "Submit it!"
The guard handed a letter in his hand to Suo Yin, and Suo Yin said, "Go down!"
The guard left, Suo Yin opened it and looked at it, Wu Sa asked, "What did he say?" Suo Yin said to everyone: "The War Demon King wants to come and attack my Gathering Thunder Pass in the future!"
"Oh!" said Wu Sa, "why did he choose to do it at noon instead of now?"
Zuo Shan said: "Could it be that he is also waiting for his reinforcements!"
Wu Sa said: "You mean that he is very likely to have mobilized soldiers and horses from other demon kings!"
Suo Yin said: "If that's the case, then we're bad!"
Huai Chong said from the side: "If this is the case, it is not all bad, this means that the King of Lanye County should have turned against him, otherwise he would not have transferred troops from other places!"
Wu Sa said: "Why don't we send someone to Lan Ye City to investigate, if the Lan Ye County King can send troops to support us, it would be the best!"
"Hmm!" Suo Yin said, "I'll send someone there!"
Suo Yin sent a few envoys to Lan Night City, and then reorganized the men and horses for a comprehensive defense, and when the demon army came, he wanted to fight to the death.
It was almost noon, and the guards came to report: "General, the men and horses of the king of Lanye County are five miles away!"
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, and Suo Yin said, "Okay, take me to pick me up!" Wu Sa smiled: "The sun has finally hit the west and come out!"
A group of them came to the door to greet them, and after a while, a large number of people came in front, there were three leaders in front, the left was Tu Wei, the right was the non-demon ancestor, and the middle one was dressed in Mingguang armor, wearing a big crown of bird feathers, about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and slender eyebrows, and a pair of sideburns, this person was the king of Lanye County.
The surging army had approached this direction and was gradually coming to a halt. Everyone bowed down: "See the King of Lanye County!" only to hear the King of Lanye County laugh "haha", and said to Tu Wei and the non-demon ancestors on both sides: "Two, don't get me wrong, they are usually not so polite to me, you look at them now with monkey heads and cat faces, once you don't blow your beard and stare at me, let me be very unaccustomed to it, General Tu Wei, you beat me, see if I haven't woken up last night!"
Tu Wei said solemnly: "King Lanye County, please pay attention to your words, you are also a county king, how can you open your mouth and curse!"
The King of Lanye County ignored him, and said to the non-demon ancestor: "You don't know, national teacher, they don't know how to scold me behind their backs!"
The non-demon ancestor just sneered and didn't answer. As soon as everyone came up, they were teased by him, which was very embarrassing, but now they had to rely on the king of Lanye County, so they didn't dare to conflict with him, so they had to let him count.
The king of Lanye looked at a few of them again, among them was Huai Chong, he widened his eyes and said: "Yo, that is very Sven, I know you, aren't you Huai Chong, who is known as the mourning dog, why are you back again, I remember that the king of our family didn't let you come, why do you have to come!"
Huai Chong felt aggrieved in his heart, so he could only endure it and said respectfully: "What the King of Lanye County said is that he is a little thick-skinned!"
The king of Lanye County said to the non-demon ancestor again: "National teacher, I heard that he is your junior brother, you have to take good care of him!"
Fei Demon Ancestor smiled: "The county king just said that he was a lost dog, and now he moved me out, is he also talking about me?"
The king of Lanye County pretended to be frightened and said: "The national teacher has misunderstood, oh, I forgot that you are not a family with him now, you said that this old brother is really unlucky, which family you don't want!"
Zhuang Han and Tang Lie in the back saw that he was the king of the county but he didn't know how to be polite, and they couldn't wait to let him teach him well, and even Mo Xiaofeng couldn't help but be annoyed.
Suo Yin's current situation had to be controlled in time, so he said: "King Lanye, you must be very tired from driving all the way, so please go inside first!" After speaking, make way for them.
The King of Lanye County said to Tu Wei and the Demon Ancestor: "Let's go, after the two of you go in, you have to help me see if there are any secret passages inside, this road they gave me may not be what kind of road it will be in the future!" After speaking, he laughed and walked inside first. Tu Wei glanced at him with a wide face.
Suo Yin took the army of the King of Lanye County in, and when everything was settled, he waited for the army of the War Demon King to attack.
Huai Chong called Mo Xiaofeng and asked Mo Xiaofeng: "From yesterday to now, I haven't asked you how the news of Rong Yunma is!"
Mo Xiaofeng told him how to steal Rong Yunma, and said with joy: "Great!"
Mo Xiaofeng said again: "Also, yesterday the non-demon ancestor asked me to play chess, he said that if he wanted to find Qu Long's predecessor, he had to go to the Heavenly Tower Empire, I was worried that what he said was false, I don't know if he wanted to deceive us and throw himself into the net!"
"Heavenly Tower Empire!" Huai Chong thought for a while and said: "This is a bet on all our brothers, my senior brother is both good and evil, sometimes good and sometimes bad, his words are not credible, otherwise, when I defeat the War Demon King, I will personally ask him!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Prince Sheyong also said that the last time you were imprisoned and then expelled from the Falling Moon Country, it was actually his idea in front of the king!" Huai Chong said: "I already knew this!" Mo Xiaofeng said again: "Prince Sheyong is worried that if you come back this time, he will harm you, so let you leave the Falling Moon Country quickly after repelling the War Demon King!"
Huai Chong said: "Entering the Falling Moon Country was originally to take Rong Yunma, now that I have obtained it, even if he doesn't say it, I have to leave, as for the whereabouts of Senior Brother Qu Long, let's talk about it after defeating the War Demon King!"
The two talked a few words and then returned to the castle tower.
It didn't take long for the guards to report that the army of the War Demon King was almost under the city. Everyone came to the city wall, and looked ahead through the battlement, and the tens of thousands of lions of the War Demon King quickly pressed the realm like a surge.
The War Demon King sat on the chariot, and there was an extra chariot next to him, on which sat a strange man dressed in a black robe and wearing a mantle. Suo Yin pointed at the strange man: "That person is ......" Wu Sa said: "It's a heart eater, maybe it's for the soul king!"
