"Why are you here?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Qingqing who was walking slowly.

Lu Qingqing came to him, rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, you made such a big move, and disappeared at the same time as Sister Rongrong, I will definitely come over." ”

Lu Yuan raised his forehead when he heard this, and then said with a straight face, "Military affairs, isn't it child's play, if you don't obey again, I will let Uncle Ming and them send you back to Heaven Dou City!" ”

"Brother, I want to kill the enemy too!" Lu Qingqing said at this time.

"Nonsense!" Lu Yuan frowned, "You are not a general in the army, this matter has nothing to do with you!" ”

"But I'm the Viscount of the Empire!" Lu Qingqing puffed up her chest and said, "When the Imperial Viscount needs it, he must respond to the call of the Empire and go to the battlefield!" ”

"But the Empire isn't here yet!" Lu Yuan grabbed her hand and said coldly.

Lu Qingqing was instantly stunned, it was the first time she saw Lu Yuan's words so harsh, and she even grabbed her hand.

But...... She looked at the slender palm on her arm, felt the temperature of Lu Yuan's palm, and suddenly thought that it seemed that her brother had pulled her hand last time......

It was many, many years ago.

Almost from the beginning when she was sensible, Lu Yuan had never held her hand like this.

"With me, the Empire doesn't need you to go to war yet!" Lu Yuan said coldly.

In fact, he also knows that his current attitude is a bit excessive.

Because he knew that even on the battlefield, as long as there was a scuffle, the battlefield of more than 100,000 people, once Lu Qingqing was lost, he might not be able to take care of it.

Ning Rongrong is different from Lu Qingqing, because Ning Rongrong is an auxiliary soul master, he will definitely be by Lu Yuan's side.

Lu Yuan has a death shadow clone and is single-minded, he can protect Ning Rongrong.

But Lu Qingqing may not be able to protect it.

And Lu Qingqing doesn't have to go to the battlefield, although her strength is not weak now, but the combat power of the soul king level can't play the ability to turn the tide of the battle on the battlefield.

The Star Luo Empire does not have the title Douluo, but it does not mean that there are fewer soul masters at the level of the Soul King and Soul Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

Therefore, Lu Qingqing's cultivation with the Soul King may not be completely safe.

Then why let Lu Qingqing go to the battlefield and distract Lu Yuan.

And Lu Yuan was really worried that Lu Qingqing would stay away from him because of belligerence and die on the battlefield.

"Brother, you can kill enemies at the age of fifteen, why can't I?" Lu Qingqing was not convinced, "And who said that I didn't go through the battlefield, did you forget the attack outside Martial Spirit City two years ago?" ”

"That time, I was also killing the enemy!"

"I'm not like you!" Lu Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said, "I was already a Soul Emperor when I was fifteen years old, can you be the same as me?" And I have the Layaste Protector to protect me even in the most dangerous situations. ”

"What about you? What do you have? You're just a Soul King now, and there are many people who can kill Soul Kings on the battlefield. ”

"If you die on the battlefield, how can I explain to my father and mother!" Lu Yuan said heavily.

"I don't need you to explain! Because it's my own decision! Lu Qingqing stiffened her neck and said.

"Don't you need me to explain?!" Lu Yuan laughed angrily, "Even if my father and mother don't need me to explain, what do you want me to do?!" ”

"My sister was killed on the battlefield because I didn't stop it, do you think I'll feel better?!"

Lu Qingqing's momentum instantly withered, "Brother, I just want to help you...... Just like Sister Rongrong......"

"Xiao Yuan ......" Ning Rongrong on the side sighed when he saw this, and inserted himself into the conversation between the two siblings, "Qingqing also wants to help, don't you be so angry......"

"She didn't mess with me, she was already helping." Lu Yuan said coldly.

"Bad dude! Don't go too far! Lu Qingqing glared, "What do you mean by me making trouble!" I just want to help you! ”

"If you want to help me, just go back to Heaven Dou City obediently, and I won't ask you to do anything, just stay with your parents honestly!" Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said helplessly.

"Dude! You! Lu Qingqing shook her hand angrily, and then turned to leave.

Lu Yuan let her go out, without the slightest intention of retaining.

After Lu Qingqing left, Ning Rongrong sighed, "Xiao Yuan, it's not that you don't know, for Qingqing, she has always wanted to help you. ”

"I don't want her to help me, I just want her and her parents to stay away from these things and live peacefully." Lu Yuan said faintly, "Qingqing's talent and strength are not bad, I don't need her to fight for anything, because I will help her fight for these things." ”

……

Two days later.

"Ahead is the Duchy of Hull, everyone is ready for martial law." Cheng Qixiao, who was very experienced and powerful, saw that he was about to arrive in the Duchy of Hull, and said in a deep voice.

"Commander Cheng, the front is the territory of our Heaven Dou Empire, how can we be under martial law? Shouldn't it be for everyone to relax? A younger commander said in confusion at this time.

In fact, he has a point in saying this.

After all, the Royal Knights had been on the road for two days, and although they were lightly armed, the Royal Knights were very tired.

Cheng Qixiao said coldly, "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, how do you know if the Principality of Hull is still the territory of our Heaven Dou Empire?" ”

"Wouldn't it? How could it be a principality, just two days? The young commander hesitated for a moment and said.

He is one of the eight new commanders promoted by Lu Yuan two years ago, compared to Gao Kai, he is more aggressive and stunned, and his strength is not as good as Gao Kai.

"It's four days." Cheng Qixiao shook his head and said, "The strength of the Star Luo Empire is far more terrifying than you imagined, plus it has been planned for a long time, and the army stationed in Zhennan Pass may not be their opponent. ”

Among the Royal Knights, he is also a veteran of the old qualifications, when he was young, he had seen the horrors of the Star Luo Empire's army, so now he did not dare to look at the Star Luo Empire in an ordinary situation.

In four days, the Star Luo Empire has been preparing for so long, and it is not necessarily impossible to capture Zhennanguan and the Duchy of Hull.

Cheng Qixiao is not wrong to be cautious, if it is because of a moment of relaxation, but it buries all the members of the Royal Knights, that is a big problem.

"Cheng Commander has a point." Han Qiannuo and Russell both slowly came to Cheng Qixiao's side and said, "In this case, the whole army is under martial law and ready to fight at any time!" ”

Barnaby, Hornak, and Gaukai had no objections, and the order of martial law was quickly passed down.

Then the Royal Knights slowly walked into the area where the Duchy of Hull was located.

But fortunately, the borders of the Duchy of Hull are not yet guarded by the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, which means that the Duchy of Hull has not yet fallen, and things are not as serious as Xiao expected.

But soon, Cheng Qixiao and others led the Royal Knights into the Duchy of Hull and met the ruler of the Duchy of Hull, the Duke of Hull.

When the Duke of Hull saw them, he directly smiled bitterly and said, "Generals, the situation is not good now, and you have come just in time......

……

The Celestial Shadow Army was quickly mobilized, but it was impossible for a regular army of more than 50,000 soldiers carrying 10,000 men and heavy baggage to move as fast as the Royal Knights.

It normally takes three days for the Royal Knights to reach the Duchy of Hull, and two days is just the result of traveling lightly and quickly.

If it is a regular infantry army, it will take at least twice the normal time of the Royal Knights to reach Zhennan Pass.

That is, it takes six days to arrive.

But this is already the fastest army in the empire that can rush to the aid of Zhennanguan, and if the Xuanwu Army and the Agni Army in Heaven Dou City are allowed to help, it will take more than ten days.

Lu Yuan sat in the carriage where the Chinese army camp was located, and took Ning Rongrong and several henchmen to constantly discuss strategy and tactics in the past few days, as well as rehearsing the current situation in Zhennanguan.

That's when ......

"Master Hou." It was Lu Yi's voice.

Lu Yi, as the head of Lujia Village, is now called the patriarch of the Lu family, and he is in charge of Lu Yuan's Shadow Stream pro-army.

By Lu Yuan's side, in fact, according to what others call him, he can be divided into two factions.

Those who call him the marquis are his pro-army, clansmen or Cheng Chao, and those who call him generals are generally soldiers of the Heavenly Shadow Army.

Lu Yuan didn't look up, and continued to deduce the situation on the sand table, "Come in." ”

Lu Yi walked in directly, with a wry smile on his face, followed by a figure that Lu Yuan was extremely familiar with.

When Lu Yuan saw that figure, he was immediately furious, "What are you doing here?" ”

This figure is Lu Yuan's sister - Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing stuck out her tongue and tried to get by.

Without her to say more, Lu Yuan could know that it must be this little girl who took the opportunity to mix in the army and came with her.

"Xiao Yuan, don't be angry, Qingqing will come with you." Ning Rongrong on the side took Lu Yuan's hand and persuaded him.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to suppress his anger, after all, this was in front of so many people.

He frowned, outside he didn't want to embarrass Lu Qingqing too much.

After all, Lu Qingqing is not a child now, she always wants to save face.

"Good." He looked at Lu Qingqing and said solemnly, "Since you are in the army, you have to obey the command, you can't run around without my orders, you know?" ”

Lu Qingqing hurriedly stood upright, and then pretended to say, "Got it!" Checkmate! ”

"Let's go back and get some rest." Lu Yuan sighed and said, "Arrange a carriage for her and have a good rest." ”

Lu Yi nodded, "Obey, Master Hou!" ”

"Brother, can't you stop driving me away so quickly?" Lu Qingqing said dissatisfied.

She rolled her eyes, "How about I discuss it with you too?" ”

"Don't mess around." Lu Yuan frowned, "And this is in the army, don't call me brother." ”

"Got it, Shogun." Lu Qingqing spit out her cute little tongue.

Then she came to the side of the sand table, looked at Zhennan Pass, where a flag was planted on it, and she said curiously, "Is the army of the Star Luo Empire going to attack from here?" ”

"That's right." One of the commanders hesitated for a moment, then took over the conversation, "The army of the Star Luo Empire can only attack from Zhennan Pass. ”

"Why can't you attack from here?" Lu Qingqing curiously pointed to a road that bypassed Zhennanguan, which was the end of the Zhennanguan city wall.

"Because there's a Star Dou Great Forest there." Lu Yuan said helplessly.

It is dangerous for a large army to enter the forest, as the dense jungle will break up the army's formation.

And there will be countless dangers waiting for them in the forest, the same is true in the previous world, miasma, poisonous insects, poisonous plants, and even soul beasts in this world.

Once the formation is dispersed, the army composed of ordinary people encounters soul beasts, and there is basically no chance of victory.

"What about here? It's past here, and it's the capital of the Duchy of Hull that you're marking, right? Lu Qingqing pointed to the other side, which was also the end point of Zhennan Pass.

"It's a mountain valley that rises from the ground and stretches endlessly." Lu Po said on the side, "There are few people here, there is no open road, and it is even more difficult to cross the mountains than to enter the Star Dou Great Forest!" ”

"If there is a slight mistake in the pool, he will fall off the cliff, except for the soul master who has the ability to fly, otherwise it is difficult for ordinary people to climb over this mountain and valley even if they are soul masters! If the army of the Star Luo Empire wanted to cross this hill, it would have to pay huge casualties to succeed. ”

"I see." Lu Qingqing suddenly realized.

At this moment, Lu Yuan listened to Lu Po's words and thought thoughtfully.

How did he feel that this situation was a little familiar, mountain towns, rarely inhabited, and difficult to cross roads, but once he crossed it, he could go straight to the capital of a country.

How familiar this sounds.

"That's right!" Lu Yuan's mind flashed, "Smuggle through Yinping and take Shu Han directly!" ”

"Smuggling into Yinping and taking Shu Han directly?" Everyone in the audience was at a loss.

Of course, they didn't understand what Lu Yuan was talking about, because this was an allusion to Lu Yuan's previous life.

An allusion in the previous life, in the late Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei sent a large army to attack Shu Han, and then the main force of the army was blocked by the Shu army in the dangerous place of Sword Pavilion and could not advance.

Deng Ai, the general of the Wei army, directly proposed to "smuggle Yinping and take Shu Han directly", and "Yinping" is also a strange road to the hinterland like the mountain road next to the Duchy of Hull.

Deng Ai took more than 10,000 people with him before he set off, but after smuggling into Yinping, there were only 2,000 people left.

It is estimated that there are 2,000 people left, because in everyone's cognition, the road of "Yinping" is difficult to travel, and it is extremely difficult for the army to pass through this strange road.

This situation is already very rare if the army is not completely wiped out, and there are still 2,000 people left, which is really God's concern.

But even if there were only 2,000 people left, Deng Ai finally took Shu Han, because the front-line army had to go back to defense, and even if he didn't go back, he would end up with his hometown gone, and then suffer the enemy's dilemma.

And isn't that what is happening now?

Zhennan Pass has always occupied a geographical advantage, even if the defenders of Zhennan Pass and the Principality of Hull are far inferior to the army of the Star Luo Empire, but Qingye is fortified and it should be no problem to hold on for a few days.

The follow-up Heaven Dou Empire reacted and sent troops to aid Zhennan Pass, and even if the Star Luo Empire was more powerful militarily, it would have to pay a lot of casualties to capture Zhennan Pass.

It's not that the strength of the Star Luo Empire is about the same as that of the Heaven Dou Empire, but the siege of the city, unless the mechanical séance comes up with black technology, otherwise the normal siege of the city will have to pay ten times the price to capture it.

Originally, Lu Yuan felt that the Star Luo Empire was holding the idea of being well-prepared and making a lightning surprise attack this time, and took advantage of the fact that the Heaven Dou Empire had not yet reacted to rush to the aid of Zhennan Pass, no matter what the cost was, he would take the lead in capturing Zhennan Pass.

But the more I think about it now, the more wrong it becomes, will the Star Luo Empire really be so stupid and do this business with the biggest casualties?

Now the conversation between Lu Po and Lu Qingqing is simply a word to wake up the dreamer.

"It is very likely that the Star Luo Empire will attack with the main army of the front, and then send a strange army, wanting to bypass Zhennan Pass and take Hull City behind him!" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice at this time.

】

"How is this possible? You must know that it is difficult to pass ...... here" Lu Po was suspicious first.

But at this moment, Lu Yuan said, "What if? ”

"What if they do send out a strange army and make a detour through this road to the city of Hull?"

"Even if they send 10,000 people, only 2,000 people remain, but among these 2,000 people, there are powerful soul masters, what will happen when they enter Hull City?"

Lu Yuan's words made everyone present feel a cold sweat break out behind their backs.

"If that's really the case...... So what about it...... The Duchy of Hull and Zhennanguan will be directly ...... ...... directly" Lu Po gritted his teeth and said tremblingly.

"Straight rout!" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"No way!" He thought about it and couldn't sit still anymore.

"This thing can't just let them succeed!" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

He looked at Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, you and I will set off for the Duchy of Hull first, and we must race against time to stop all this before their surprise attack succeeds!" ”

"Good! No problem! Ning Rongrong nodded.

"You continue to lead the army next, don't be in a hurry, advance at the current speed, and when you reach the Duchy of Hull, you will join me!" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

"What about me? Dude? Lu Qingqing rolled her eyes at this time and asked.

Lu Yuan looked at her with a frown, originally he wanted Lu Qingqing not to run around, but if you think about it carefully, this girl will never listen to him.

Anyway, let her stay obediently, she will definitely not listen.

It's better to take it with you so that you can watch her at any time.

"Okay, you come with us." The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched and said.

Then he took Ning Rongrong's little hand and came to the outside of the big camp carriage, and Lu Qingqing hurriedly followed when he saw this.

"The universe will be mine!" Lu Yuan casually summoned the martial soul and seven soul rings.

Then the fifth soul ring floated up, emitting a deep light.

"Source number control." Lu Yuan manipulated the power of space and drew a spatial tunnel in front of him.

This was exactly the space shuttle ability he had learned from Bone Douluo.

After two and a half years of practice, Lu Yuan is now quite familiar with it.

Then, the three of them walked into the space tunnel together, quickly shuttled through the space, and flew in the direction of the Duchy of Hull.

In less than a day, it is estimated that they will be able to reach the Duchy of Hull.
