Chapter 5 The First Danger of Entering the Forest
With the issuance of the midnight order, the Jinghua army was like a fierce beast that had discovered its prey, from the beginning of the preservation of strength everywhere, to the current fierce pursuit. Originally to avoid the emergence of a protracted war, now it is completely a fight.
And the current situation of the army in the Xiuze Realm is just like what Midnight said, the Hou army used as a cover can't resist our attack at all, and after desperately resisting, they have to flee in all directions.
At this moment, Xin Mo suddenly took a step forward and asked Midnight, "What should we do with these prisoners of war?"
"What does Vice Admiral Xin want to do with it, I believe in your system. ”
"General Xie. ”
The key to the conversation between Xin Mo and Midnight last night was that Midnight would not have been so dependent on Xin Mo in the past, and Xin Mo would not rashly make such a request. It seems that Xin Mo is hiding something from everyone. Besides, Xin Mo had intended to let General Qi go, so it seems that Xin Mo is indeed unpredictable.
Midnight suddenly spurred her horse and ran forward, she wanted to follow the Jinghua army to expel the Xiuze Realm army.
Her move made us the rest of us follow Midnight, and where we ran to the Xiuze Realm camp, Li Sima pulled his bow and shot the archers on the pavilion who were trying to defend against them.
"Split up. Midnight gave the order again.
I followed Midnight, Xin Mo acted alone, the two Simas were together, and the rest of the generals were separated. Because I walked with Midnight, I was all the way to kill enemies in the middle of the night, and I just followed her, sometimes slashing at a few enemies who wanted to attack from behind.
In this scuffle, the two sides fought to the extreme, until midnight when the other party's military flag was lowered.
The battle camp temporarily set up by the Xiuze Realm was broken by us in one fell swoop. But the matter is not over yet, General Qi and Major General Qi Xun, who are the commanders of the generals, have not seen it yet, all we want is to ask them if they surrender, if not, with their temperament, they should kill themselves on the barracks.
However, in the Chinese military tent they set up, there was no shadow of General Qi and Major General Qi Xun, and they did not appear to be involved when the defense was broken just now. Now that I think about it, in the scuffle just now, there was not a single general who came to fight at all.
The soldiers under his command came to report that there was no trace of the generals at all, but behind this was the Demon Forest, and it seemed that they should be hiding inside.
"Are we going to let them go or do we continue the pursuit?" Xin Mo came to ask.
Xin Mo probably wanted to answer in the middle of the night and let it go, he didn't always have the intention of letting General Qi go, not to mention that he had already done so at a critical juncture.
"Tell the soldiers, check around now, and be sure to find all the traces. Midnight didn't answer directly, but the meaning was already clear.
Xin Mo saw that he couldn't say anything more at this time, so he gave the truthful order.
The desperate resistance of the soldiers of the Xiuze Realm just now should be to give those generals some time to escape. Looking at Midnight's expression at this time, she should have thought of this in her heart. Her expression was slightly remorseful, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. It is conceivable that the fate of those found generals will not be very good.
In the middle of the night, he sat casually on the upper seat in the middle of the military tent and said nothing. She rested her left hand on the table and pressed her right hand on her right thigh, looking preoccupied. Seeing such a scene, the two Simas walked out, and only me and Midnight were left in the room.
I was just about to open my mouth to ask what was in my heart, just as Xin Mo walked in. He had something to tell him. But as soon as he saw that my mouth was open, he knew that he had interrupted me.
Xin Mo stopped his business and said to me, "The general will speak first." ”
"It's nothing, you can say it first, I don't want to say anything. ”
After Xin Mo confirmed, he turned his head to midnight and said, "The subordinates have already ordered to go down, and there will be results soon, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that those generals in the Xiuze Realm have already returned the same way." ”
"I expected it to be. ”
"Then why is there any need to pursue again, in this way, our side will not spare people. ”
Midnight twisted his finger and said, "If only they hid for the time being, and didn't really leave." If we are deceived, we give up. Isn't that exactly what they are trying to do? ”
"As far as his subordinates know, what General Qi believes in is the principle of a gentleman, and I am afraid that such a sneak attack behind the back may not be done. ”
At this time, I interjected here: "You seem to be very familiar with that General Qi. ”
"The subordinates only inquired a little and learned that they didn't know too much. ”
"Well, I thought you knew each other before. ”
Xin Mo's face turned white, and even water beads gathered on the sideburns. Midnight saved his field.
"General Qi is naturally reliable, but he is also afraid that his son Qi Xun will be unwilling, you must know that his military power is second only to General Qi. ”
"It's also said that the subordinates are not considerate. ”
"No, in this Jinghua army, only Vice General Xin is the most thoughtful. ”
Xin Mo, who hadn't figured out how to answer, was suddenly interrupted by the soldiers who came to report. The soldier knelt down on one knee before us and told us what they had received.
"General Qiyu, there is no trace of the Xiuze Realm army around here, but in the dark grass, I found the tokens that all of them have, and found a large number of lurking traces. So it's assumed they're heading in the direction of the forest. ”
Midnight suddenly stood up and said, "Tell me to go down and go forward to search." ”
The soldier was about to leave, but was stopped by Midnight.
"At this time, wait a minute, Demon Forest has always been easy to enter and difficult to get out, and if we rush into the army like this, we will definitely lose too much. ”
Midnight suddenly looked at me, and said to the soldier just now, "Prepare the horse, I and General Yan can go together." ”
Hearing this, I stared at Midnight with wide eyes, expecting her response. Midnight really looked at me, we looked at each other, Midnight suddenly smiled maliciously, as if to comfort me, and as if teasing me. I sneered at her, but I didn't want to increase the midnight momentum again.
When we both got on our horses, Ansima suddenly handed over two things and put them in the hands of me and Midnight.
"It's a permanent light that can be used at night. And this one is the signal whistle, which is the same pair as the one I have on my chest, and when it comes to a pinch, it must be sounded, and we will follow the source of the sound to deliver you. This forest is dangerous, so you two must be careful. ”
Midnight placed the signal whistle around Xuanfeng's neck, and I hung a small lantern on my chest.
Xin Mo came to my side at this time and said, "Although General Yan knows the way, he should be more careful when moving forward this time, if he encounters the generals of the Xiuze Realm, he must be cautious, and he must not underestimate the enemy because they are seriously injured." ”
Turning around, he said a few words to Midnight: "General Qi of the Xiuze Realm does not have to be killed, everything depends on the general's decision." If the other party does not have the intention to attack again, please remember that you have to spare people and spare people. ”
Midnight nodded and said, "I have my own measure." ”
In front of everyone's eyes, I also walked into this frightening demon forest in the middle of the night. To be honest, although we people in Guan Yunyu are familiar with the terrain here, the fierce beasts and fierce birds in this area also have to be guarded against, and when it gets dark, they accidentally turn back into a sinkhole or a deep hole, everything must be careful.
"How to go?" At the beginning, midnight asked me to tell me how to clear the road.
"Just follow me. ”
Midnight grabbed me who was about to walk forward and said, "No, the terrain here is dangerous, so I can't let you go ahead." ”
I took away Midnight's hand and said, "You're wrong, the danger here is not in the difficult terrain and fierce beasts, but in the fact that the ground is always light and thin, and below is a bottomless deep hole or sinkhole. The more side by side, the greater the danger. If I walk safely, you follow me, and if I fall, someone will save me. ”
"That being said, I promised the Realm Lord to take you with you as much as you wanted. Why did you just listen to you?"
"Just because I'm a man and you're a woman. Well, so be it, loud quarrels will only disturb the beasts. ”
I still got to the front of midnight, carefully probing the path under my feet. Fortunately, Xuanfeng is a good trained horse, and it follows my horse's footprints step by step without the slightest mistake.
Seeing that Xuanfeng was so obedient at midnight, he brushed Xuanfeng's horsehair from time to time to show relief.
After walking for a long time, everything was safe and sound, which made us both very relieved. But just as we let our guard down, Xuan Feng suddenly let out the same gasp, and it inhaled slowly, its head shaking around.
"Chenchi, stop. There is an abnormality. ”
I paused, held my breath, and listened carefully to the changes in the sounds around me. True, I heard more fearful pantings than my two horses and Midnight's. This sound seems to be suppressed, but the sound of grass and trees just now is gone.
My eyes looked at a slope to the east, which was steep downward, and seemed to be much higher than a man's height.
In the middle of the night, I followed the way I had settled, and I saw the slope as well. Midnight motioned to me with her eyes, telling me not to make a sound, and she slowly moved her body, trying to leave this position.
Midnight suddenly said, "It's just a squirrel, why make a fuss, let's keep walking." ”
Anyway, midnight gave me a look, a look that I understood in an instant.
After we left, I heard a few long exhalations, as if to rejoice. I know, it was from the people behind the ramp.
After walking a little farther away, I asked Midnight, "Why don't you go and catch them?"
"They didn't mean to attack us, and it seems that they didn't have the power to fight back. But we don't know exactly what the situation is there, so if we don't know the details, there may be danger. ”
"So you want to?"
"Is there any road in this vicinity that can be assaulted from behind, I want to know their details from behind them, and then see if I want to kill them. ”
Demon Forest wants to be our territory, and for us who were born and raised, this is just a trivial matter. I had a few ways to get to them as quickly as possible, and I finally told Midnight the safest one.
After we left, General Qi's father and son and the remaining two generals slowly stretched out their heads and walked up the steep slope.
"Father, they're all gone, can we go back?"
"No, at Mu Ziye's level, he wouldn't have guessed ours. ”
"Then what shall we do, shall we sit idly by? We shall go back quickly, and when the time comes, we will attack again, and we will be ashamed. ”
General Qi showed a smug expression and said, "Why are you waiting here, Mu Ziye will come to us." Anyway, our mission is accomplished. ”
After I walked around with Midnight, I saw the appearance of the four suspected generals from a distance on the original slope.
"They didn't even know how to leave. Surprisingly stupid. ”
"No, he's waiting for us. ”
"What do you mean midnight, you mean them"
"Yes, from the very beginning, they guessed what we thought. Looking at the way they are now, they have no intention of attacking again. Because they could have attacked us just now, but they didn't. They're going to say goodbye to us. ”
After we walked in, General Qi immediately surrounded us. Except for General Qi, the faces of the three were full of resentment, and only General Qi was the auspicious face when they met for the first time that day.
Midnight opened his mouth before them and said, "I'm afraid General Qi already knew that we were back, right?"
"It's natural, but we also know that General Mu and General Yan also knew that we were here in the first place. ”
Dismounted at midnight and asked, "General Qi, do you still want to attack?"
"No, our mission is complete, just go back and get back to our lives. ”
"Since General Qi has no intention of continuing the attack, why do you want to stay here, does you have something to say to Mu?"
General Qi turned to laugh reassuringly and said, "General Mu is really smart, it seems that I am going to be right about this." ”
"What's going on?"
"Doesn't General Mu know the purpose of our visit, and I don't know why your realm lord is desperately guarding the Guanyun Domain?"
"The first is the problem of your Realm Lord, and the second is the problem of our Realm Lord, only the two of them know. As generals, we only care about fighting, and we don't care about what the purpose is. ”
General Qi grabbed a handful of his beard and said, "That's right, but does General Mu have doubts or suspicions?"
It seems that he also knows about Lan Yun, this matter is really well-founded, the reality Jun Xiaoyou thinks so, and then General Qi, at this time, he must also know about it.
Midnight thought for a moment, then suddenly moved forward and said, "General Xie Qi mentioned something, presumably General Qi's task is to explore this reality." ”
"That's true, but seeing that your strength is still the same as before, I'm afraid that what we want to seize is not or has already been pocketed by the Demon Clan. ”
"I think so. ”
General Qi suddenly saluted the same level to Midnight and said, "Since the words have been spoken, Qi said goodbye." ”
Midnight apparently let them go, saying, "Farewell, don't send it." ”
After they walked away, General Qi suddenly said to himself: "It is really in vain to be able to see a strange woman like General Mu in this life. ”
I was still watching them right away, and when I saw that General Qi and his party had already walked away, I said to Midnight, "Let's go." ”
Midnight looked at the sky, walked quickly to Xuan Feng's side, jumped up, and said, "The sky has changed, leave quickly." ”
Before we could go far, the scene in the forest had changed a lot, and even a trace of horror had arisen out of thin air. Instantly, I heard the howls of all kinds of beasts, and this sound seemed to be dense around us. Suddenly, a behemoth fell from the tree, and before we could see clearly, we were entangled in it.
My horse was frightened and kept running forward, chasing after me in the middle of the night. The horse gradually ran towards the perimeter of the Demon Forest, and I kept clutching the reins for fear of falling to the ground. Xuan Feng had been following closely behind, but he didn't want to be inferior to the frightened horse at all. Midnight had to wave the horsewhip again and again, so that Xuan Feng chased closer.
Suddenly, the fierce birds that had been circling in the sky wanted me to attack, and I couldn't resist with my hands when I was clutching the reins. Seeing it in the middle of the night, he hurriedly jumped on Xuanfeng's back and jumped towards me.
In an instant, I was taken to the ground by midnight, and I was separated from the mad horse, and the fierce bird kept chasing the horse, and I didn't care about us. Active prey seems to be more attractive.
I rolled down with midnight and didn't stop until it was too far away. Because she kept her eyes closed, I could only hear the midnight wheezing, so rapid that she should have been frightened.
Looking at her, I didn't know what to do. Midnight looked at me like this, and we looked at each other, but instead of dodging as usual, we kept staring at each other until I was wheezing at the same frequency as Midnight, and Midnight pushed me away and tried to stand up.
As I stood up in the middle of the night, I got up and tried to tidy up my clothes. Fortunately, Xuanfeng is still there, maybe I will ride it back with Midnight.
Midnight had barely taken two steps before his body suddenly fell down. I subconsciously took Midnight's hand, but I didn't want to be taken down myself. In the middle of the night, he stepped on the land unique to this place and fell into a deep cave. The last thing I saw was Midnight's slightly changed face, and her long hair. Even so, she is still so beautiful.
As I fell, I felt a tingling in my left thigh and lost consciousness. The last time I heard the screams of the wind, it felt like midnight was just below my right shoulder. At this point, I have no memory.
