Chapter 34: Tragedy
In the territory of the Northern Barbarians, more than ten miles away from the Sang tribe, there are more than a dozen tents.
There were constantly patrolling soldiers outside the tents, and if you listened carefully, there were constant wails coming from some tents, which was heartbreaking. It makes people listen to it like the roar of a wild beast, and the scalp is numb for a while.
In the tent in the center, Luo Qiushui, Zhang Biao, Su He, Li Haotian, and two of Luo Qiushui's entourages sat separately.
At this time, everyone's faces were a little solemn, Luo Qiushui lowered his head and pondered, and was silent for a long time.
Su He's face was ugly, it was really because of the containment of the witch sect, most of his already small disciples had been damaged, and now there were only a dozen people intact, and a few were either seriously injured or poisoned.
Li Haotian stared at Luo Qiushui, his eyes ready to erupt into flames. Those dead brothers, after all, have lived together for several years, and now all they can do now is watch them die one by one.
There was silence in the tent, and Li Haotian finally couldn't help but stand up and asked, "County Lord, if you don't change your strategy, my Floating Cloud Sword Sect will be removed from the rivers and lakes." ”
Thorn -
"Bold! How dare you be rude to the monarch! ”
But it was the two entourages behind the monarch who drew their swords and pointed them at Li Haotian, glaring angrily.
Li Haotian stiffened his neck, his eyes stared at Luo Qiushui, but he didn't care about the two sharp knives that were close at hand.
Luo Qiushui waved his hand lightly and said coldly: "I was careless this time, I didn't expect that the resurgence of the witch cult would be much more difficult than I imagined." ”
Su He stood up at the right time to make a round, in fact, he was the most angry, but he couldn't and didn't dare to confront this high-ranking county lord.
If he can get away with this war, he vows that he will never get involved in this court again, and he can hide as far as he can.
Even if Luo Qiushui promised to canonize him as the general of Zhenyuan in the future, Su He would never be moved, he had only one ambition in this life: that is, to carry forward the Floating Cloud Sword Sect.
But the current situation is that it is a gift from God to be able to keep the fire. So he wanted to use Li Haotian's young and frivolous temperament to express his dissatisfaction.
However, he knows better than Li Haotian that in the imperial court, even if the superior does something wrong, the lower level can only be executed. If there is any doubt, it is to disturb the morale of the army and commit disobedience.
Fortunately, Luo Qiushui is young after all, and he is still benevolent and does not pursue Li Haotian's rudeness.
Therefore, Su He stood up and reprimanded Li Haotian: "Haotian, the county lord Jin Zhi Yuye, how can you question the strategy. ”
Seeing that Li Haotian was indifferent, he turned to Luo Qiushui and said: "The county lord forgives the sin, the bad man has a reckless personality since he was a child, but he is straightforward, and he has suffered many casualties and brothers, so it is inevitable that he will be resentful, please spare him for the sake of his heroic killing of the enemy." ”
In fact, Luo Qiushui admires Li Haotian very much, this son is superb, brave and strategic, and kind-hearted. Especially in the process of fighting the enemy, he is the first to take the lead.
That kind of momentum made her from a military family appreciate it very much.
After a long silence, she slowly spoke, and said: "I didn't expect them to have dozens of poison kings and five poison kings, it seems that Beiban has made a bloody investment this time." ”
Su He nodded in agreement, and when he said this, the faces of the others were a little ugly, especially Zhang Biao.
The city defense battalion led by him was even more seriously damaged, although they were dealing with some poison lords, as long as they were killed.
However, there was no fighting on the border for many years, which made him slack off and did not train the army in time.
I wanted to behave well in front of the county lord this time, but it turned out to be a mess.
After crossing the Sui River for some distance, they were ambushed. Luo Qiushui made a quick decision, and dozens of his entourage and Suhe Li Haotian dealt with the five poison kings who appeared.
The other disciples of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect dealt with the twenty Poison Monarchs, and the more than 900 people led by Zhang Biao dealt with the remaining thirty Poison Monarchs.
Luo Qiushui's idea was very simple, Zhang Biao's city defense army didn't need to kill those poison lords, just drag them and trap them.
However, the result was shocking, the more than 900 people instantly became a mess after facing the poisonous monarch who appeared, you pushed me, and the originally well-trained formation was instantly scattered.
In desperation, Li Haotian turned back, opened and closed, and killed dozens of those poison kings in a few flashes.
Although he finally killed the Wujiao disciples, his own casualties were extremely heavy.
Most of the city defense troops were poisoned and died, Luo Qiushui's entourage also died two, and more than half of the disciples of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect were injured.
What made everyone's hearts gloomy was that they learned from the captured captive that there were still ten drug kings here who were about to break through.
Luo Qiushui originally wanted to catch them all, so he drove straight in, pushing sideways all the way, and those so-called Northern Barbarian troops were vulnerable.
However, after encountering the disciples of the Witch Sect, it took half of the personnel to repel the few Poison Kings, and if ten more Poison Kings appeared, it is estimated that all of them would be lost here.
This is why Luo Qiushui, who was originally continuing to march, stopped and set up camp.
"If what the Witch Cult disciple said is true, I don't think we can move forward."
Luo Qiushui's slender fingers tapped on the table and calmly analyzed.
"If I fight alone, I am confident that I will kill two drug kings."
Everyone looked up at Li Haotian, and he was like a peerless sword, with a sharp edge. Moreover, just after that battle, Li Haotian had completely transformed, all the eight veins of the Qi Sutra in his whole body were opened, and the Ziyang True Qi Rotation was running nine Great Zhou Heavens all over his body at a time, which was the characteristic of martial arts cultivation to the first-class Grandmaster Realm.
Li Haotian's meaning is very obvious, there are more than a dozen poison kings on the other side, I can only kill two, if you are sure, you can continue to move forward. If you're not sure, go back and ask for help.
He is not a soldier, so he doesn't care what he gives an order, and there is such a thing as advancing and retreating.
Born as a beggar, he actually understands the meaning of living better than Xu Fan.
There was silence again, when a commotion outside interrupted their musings.
Luo Qiushui took the lead, and an entourage had already opened the tent curtain for her.
After walking outside, he saw a disciple of the Floating Cloud Sect come forward, first saluted Luo Qiushui, and then said to Su He, "Master, we found a disciple of the Witch Sect not far away. ”
Su He frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Is the other party a poison king or a poison king?" ”
The disciple looked suspicious and said uncertainly, "It should be a poison king, but." ”
Su He was furious and reprimanded: "The nerves of fighting with the witch sect to kill you are also confused, and you can't even say a word." ”
That disciple may have entered the door a little earlier, and he was still very afraid of Su He's temper, so he said quickly: "But the poison king we found is a child. ”
Su He was extremely angry, there are so many people here, this disciple has completely forgotten his usual teachings, and after saying that, he confessed to Luo Qiushui, and walked out with a long sword, with his cultivation in the realm of grandmasters, even if the other party is a poison king. Li Haotian can fight two alone, and he Suhe can't even kill one?
As he walked, he reprimanded sharply: "How do I usually teach you, the evil devil is a foreign way, everyone will be punished, regardless of his young children and old people, men and women, my generation is chivalrous and righteous, regardless of the reason, right and wrong, draw the sword and kill." Those demons are the most demagogic, if you don't strike first, maybe you will be the one lying on the ground the next moment. ”
The disciple of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect followed behind him, and he whispered.
Li Haotian silently followed behind him, and after hearing Su He's words at this time, a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in his heart.
The long sword in his hand was loose and tight, tight and loose.
When Su He followed the disciple to a place more than ten miles away from the Sang tribe, he saw the poison king who was entangled with the two disciples.
Those two disciples were not outstanding in the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, but they were slightly stronger than ordinary people. The reason why he dared to fight with the Poison King was to find that although this Poison King had the appearance of a Poison King, he did not have the strength of a Poison King.
To put it bluntly, he is a child full of poison, and wherever he goes, whether it is flowers or trees, as long as he touches it lightly, it will wither in an instant. And the surrounding snakes, insects, rats and ants were also far away from him, as if they had encountered an even more terrible poison.
Seeing this, Su He was slightly angry, lifted his long sword and flew over.
Li Haotian slowed down, and it was too late to stop him.
If Xu Fan was here, he would know that this child was the Sang Li he promised to remove the toxin for him in the future.
After separating from Xu Fan, Sang Li galloped along the road back to the tribe.
I don't know what kind of medicine those people gave him, but he found that in addition to being full of poison, his strength has also increased a lot, and his whole body seems to have endless strength.
Seeing the smoke in the distant tribe rising into the sky, Sang Li was even more excited in his heart, and couldn't help but scream.
It was this sound that attracted the disciples of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect who were exploring here.
Before Sang Li came back to his senses, he saw two men in Central Plains costumes stabbing at him with long swords, and with a resolute momentum on his face, another disciple quickly ran out.
After fighting for a few rounds, the two disciples of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect found that the kid in front of them was not very difficult to deal with, in order to prevent him from being contaminated, and in order to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, they had been dragging and fighting with Sang Li.
The more Sang Li fought, the more irritable he became, he just wanted to go home and have a look, and then obediently hid in the West Mountain, and waited for the big brother to come to dispel his poison in the future.
Unexpectedly, these people were going to shout at him when they met, he kept explaining, but the two people on the other side turned a deaf ear.
At this moment, seeing another group of people dressed like them in the distance, Sang Li was in a hurry, if he didn't get out, he might not be able to leave.
He struggled in his heart, but in the end, he couldn't care so much about running away for his life.
Although he doesn't know martial arts, his whole body is poisonous, so he has to open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of spit.
However, before he could make any moves, he saw a person flying up and instantly arrived in front of him.
The last thing that appeared in Sang Li's eyes was a majestic face and a long sword like water.
"Don't!"
Li Haotian rushed forward, and a sword resisted Su He's sword. But it was too late, and he could only watch as the other child's head flew into the air.
