Chapter 225: A Young Man in Troubled Times One
(I'm very happy to receive Jinrong's message, thank you, thank you Su Qin.) )
When the children are reluctant to leave their playmates at the urging of their families, when the wooden tables of ordinary people are covered with inexpensive but filling meals, when the sunset in the west completely disappears into the sky, when the birds flutter their wings and fly back to the nest - it is dark.
Darkness shrouded the sky over the entire Firmament Continent, like a black cloth blindfolded everyone's eyes, with the red lanterns with different surnames lit up, the Lihuo City under the dark night was a little less noisy, but, as the largest city on the continent, even at night, when the curfew had not yet arrived, there were still some people who came and went in a hurry on the streets of the Lihuo City, compared to the Lihuo City that was still a little lively in the dark night at the moment, it was a little deserted at the foot of a certain mountain in the north of the Lihuo City.
The mountains are not tall but steep, I don't know if it is because there are no people, the woods here grow freely and strongly, the branches and leaves are dense, and the cool breeze is faint in the light of the stars.
At the foot of the mountain were some tents, large or small, distributed at the foot of the mountain within a radius of nearly three hundred zhang, in the middle of these tents scattered some bonfires with wolf smoke - the horses were tied to the trunks of the trees at the foot of the mountain, the scimitars in the hands of the warriors were held in their arms, looking at the quiet night, these Mangguo iron horsemen who went south with Mo Xiao were as usual at this time, after dinner, they sat together around the campfire to talk about trivial things at home or joke between brothers.
They didn't know why they went south, only that His Royal Highness Mo Xiaomo had brought them here and left alone.
"Huram, go to bed early when you go back, you'll be fine. "Under a tree a hundred feet away from the camp where the Mangguo Iron Cavalry was stationed, a scout who had come to change shifts said to a young man who was low but very strong.
"Can't sleep, it's too cold here. The young man known as Hu Ram looked at the big man who came to his side with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Cha, when can we go home." ”
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Hearing Hu Ram's question, Chakqi frowned and replied, then raised his head to look at the moonlight, and when he turned his head to look at Hu Ram, his words were a little more ridiculous, "We soldiers are running around all year round, what, miss your little lover?"
"Not used to the night, no taste of home. When Hu Ram heard Cha Keqi's words, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, so he changed the topic and said, "Brother Cha, you said that our Mang Kingdom will not go to war with Yan Country again, right?"
"This kind of thing has nothing to do with us. When Chakqi said this, he slowly squatted down, leaning on the trunk of the tree and looking south, but as far as the eye could see, except for darkness or darkness, "We people just need to obey orders, and when we go to the battlefield and fight hard, we will try to live with a salary worthy of our own life, and we really can't control other things." ”
Hearing Cha Keqi's words, Hu Ram didn't say anything more, he lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and finally looked at Cha Keqi and smiled slightly, "Brother Cha, I'll go back and rest first, and then come back to replace you in the middle of the night." ”
"You can rest a little longer. Looking at Huram's thin back, Chakqi smiled slightly bitterly, and then straightened up and walked south at this time - although there was no sound in the distance or anything unusual, but Chakqi knew that if he wanted to live, it was better to be careful.
But sometimes it's not a matter of careful care that you can get back to a lifetime of stability.
Just when Chakham checked the situation around him and found that there was nothing unusual and was about to find a bush to hide, Guo Shihao suddenly walked out of the darkness slowly at a distance of only five hundred zhang from the camp where Mangguo Iron Cavalry was stationed.
Immediately behind Guo Shihao, several tall figures wearing armor slowly appeared.
Looking at the faint light of fire in the distance, a smile appeared at the corner of Guo Shihao's mouth, but the smile on Guo Shihao's face only disappeared in a flash, and when the smile on Guo Shihao's face disappeared, Guo Shihao's eyes flashed with endless killing intent.
Guo Shihao, who secretly exhaled, stared at the jungle in the distance, slowly closed his eyes, and at this time, two air currents slowly appeared in Guo Shihao's hands - these two air currents waved forward with Guo Shihao's hands, and slowly blew towards the north facing Guo Shihao.
Guo Shihao, who was standing in the dark, quietly closed his eyes and felt the breath around him, and after a while, he suddenly turned around and whispered to a few people behind him, "There are twenty people in ambush in the jungle ahead, and they should be the scout soldiers on the periphery of the Mangguo Iron Cavalry." After saying this, Guo Shihao turned to look at the north, and after pondering for a moment, he took a step, as if he was going to walk towards the place where the Mangguo Iron Cavalry was stationed in front.
"Commander, it will take at least two hours for our soldiers to get here. Seeing that Guo Shihao was going to go forward and create the Mangguo Iron Hoof Military Camp, he followed a middle-aged warrior behind him and said, and the middle-aged man frowned together when he said this- When Guo Shihao returned to the camp where the Phoenix Army was stationed during the day, as one of the generals of the 50,000 Phoenix Army, he objected to Guo Shihao's plan, but no matter how he persuaded him, Guo Shihao still decided to go his own way, although in Guo Shihao's opinion, what he was going to do next was not willful, but in the eyes of this middle-aged man, Guo Shihao was pushing the Phoenix Army into the abyss.
Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, the situation faced by the Phoenix Army is not optimistic, because in the eyes of this middle-aged man, if he wins, even if Lu Tianxing's questioning will only affect a few people, and if he loses, he will ...... I'm afraid the entire Phoenix Army is ......
"Yang Changsheng, how many people do you think the news of the 50,000 Phoenix Army going north now knows?"
"The emperor should already know, after all, when bypassing Lihuo City, the defenders of Lihuo City discovered the traces of our army, as for the Mangguo Iron Cavalry, although I don't know how many spies Mangguo ambushed in Lihuo City, but the news that we waved our troops north should not be hidden for long. ”
"Now that you know this, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Hearing Yang Changsheng's words, Guo Shihao showed a smile on his face, "Two hours later, when the Phoenix Army comes here, I'm afraid that these Mangguo Iron Cavalry in front of me have also got the news, so let's strike first." ”
"But ......" Hearing Guo Shihao's words, Yang Changsheng frowned and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Guo Shihao waving his hand, "You are all masters of the Qi Sect Dual Realm, and it is more than enough to deal with these ordinary iron knights. Speaking of which, Guo Shihao made a killing move, "The soldiers of Mangguo without horses are not enough to justify it." ”
Hearing Guo Shihao's words, Yang Changsheng sighed secretly, and then nodded.
"This battle is related to the prestige of the Phoenix Army and the life and death of 50,000 young men in Phoenix. Looking at the few people in front of him, a trace of sadness appeared on Guo Shihao's face, "Let's use facts to prove that the Phoenix Army is no worse than the Qi Family Army!"
When several people led by Yang Changsheng heard Guo Shihao's words, their faces turned pale, and finally they answered in unison!
His eyes swept over the faces of Yang Changsheng and the others, and Guo Shihao then whispered a word and took the lead after setting off.
Several people quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after the people left, a figure slowly appeared behind a large tree.
"I didn't expect that Guo Shihao had already broken through the Qi Sect's Fivefold Realm. Qiao Er looked at the place where Mangguo Iron Rider was riding, and muttered a little, when he said this, he lightly missed the fine sweat on his forehead, and secretly said that it was dangerous, fortunately he was hiding in the south of Guo Shihao and his party just now, if he hid in the north of Guo Shihao, maybe he would be discovered by Guo Shihao, who was all focused on the north.
"But that's fine. After Qiao Er, who remembered something, said this, he suddenly grinned, and then walked towards the east.
Qiao Er, who crossed the official road to the north, looked at the high mountain, and then walked along the foot of the mountain to the east for nearly five hundred zhang, and when Qiao Er turned left and right in a dense forest at the foot of the mountain, he saw a person standing quietly in the dense forest.
Looking at the figure of that person, looking at the black horse beside that person who was eating tender grass with his head down, Qiao Er breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Shangguan, I'm back. Looking at Shangguan Haoyu, Qiao Er stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.
"I thought something had happened to Second Brother Qiao. Looking at Qiao Er, Shangguan Haoyu replied with a smile.
"I ran into Guo Shihao just now, and I was almost discovered by him. Speaking of this, Qiao Er's face froze, "If there is no accident in the Phoenix Army, it will be here in two hours." ”
"Two hours?" Shangguan Haoyu frowned when he heard Qiao Er say this, "It will take four hours for Gu Huancheng, who hunted the thieves, to bring people here. ”
"With a difference of two hours, I'm afraid that the Mangguo Iron Cavalry and the Phoenix Army will have already decided the winner by then, right?"
"It's hard to say. Hearing Qiao Er's words, Shangguan Haoyu shook his head slightly, "The 10,000 people who were slaughtered have now been prepared, if the hunters can't appear in time, it's really hard to say the outcome at that time." ”
"After a fierce battle between the 30,000 Mangguo Iron Cavalry and the 50,000 Phoenix Army, I'm afraid there won't be many people alive. ”
"Mo Xiao is not on the Iron Rider's side now. Speaking of this, Shangguan Haoyu paused, "And if I'm not mistaken, Guo Shihao is a master of the Qi Sect Quadruple Realm, and without Mo Xiao's Mang Guotie, he rode in front of Guo Shihao...... You must know the difference between one realm, but the courage of one man is invincible, not to mention that there are no cultivators in Mangguo at all. ”
"I don't know for some reason, Guo Shihao is now a master of the pentagram. Qiao Er looked at Shangguan Haoyu at this time and said.
"It's fine. Hearing Qiao Er's words, Shangguan Haoyu smiled and said, "Gu Huancheng will bring a master who will surprise you at that time, and he is also a master of the Fivefold Realm, but he is a member of the Sword Sect. ”
