Volume 2 The Journey to Nanhuai Chapter 120 Protecting Nanhuai

Li Dingxing sat in a daze holding Li Yaoyang's corpse, the sun was sinking in the west, and the rest of the Nanhuai army that was chasing Ma Liu also rushed back, and after counting, there were more than 30,000 Nanhuai troops left, and the 5,000 Nanhuai troops brought by Li Yaoyang were all killed in battle, and none of them survived.

The generals came up one after another to persuade Li Dingxing and restrain Li Yaoyang's body, but Li Dingxing still sat in the blood as if he hadn't heard it, quietly holding Li Yaoyang's body.

In desperation, the generals commanded the soldiers, cleaned up the battlefield, and camped on the spot. also put a tent on top of Li Dingxing's head, and the generals strongly persuaded Li Dingxing that it was not good for the corpse to be placed in the blood water, so Li Dingxing let go.

Everyone carried Li Yaoyang's body to the desk, and Li Dingxing followed behind like a helpless child, until everyone finished wiping the body, and Li Dingxing hugged him again. The generals took turns to accompany them, and in this way, Li Dingxing sat for a whole night.

"How's that good?"

"It's not a way to stay here, what if Chu Xiangjun comes back?"

"But the second master can't listen to what he says now, and he hasn't eaten since last night..."

The generals discussed with each other, and a bearded general quietly left everyone and came to Li Dingxing's side.

"Second master, it's time to take the prince home..."A bearded general said on the side.

"Home? Go home... Yes, go home, big brother, I'll take you home. Li Dingxing woke up like a dream, and as he spoke, he was about to pick up Li Yaoyang's corpse.

The bearded warrior grabbed him: "The prince is too tired, let the prince rest for a while... Yes? ”

Li Dingxing nodded blankly: "Yes, the eldest brother is so tired, let the eldest brother sleep..." As soon as the words fell, Li Dingxing's eyes were closed, and he was about to fall to the ground softly, but fortunately, the bearded man was quick and hugged Li Dingxing.

"Don't say it, Da Liu, you really have a way." The rest of the generals noticed the change here, and rushed over one after another, and when they saw Li Dingxing who had fallen asleep, they couldn't help but praise the beard.

"Come over here and help!" The bearded man shouted.

Outside the camp gate, Yi Xiaodao finally arrived, and when he saw that it was the Nanhuai Army, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Whew, it's okay, it's not too late." ”

"Stop! What are you... Ah, Master Yi, why are you back? The soldier guarding the door drank Yi Xiaodao, and asked in surprise after seeing it clearly.

Yi Xiaodao waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, the eldest son and the second son are there?" Well? What a strong smell of blood, have you fought with the Chu Xiang army? Yi Xiaodao asked about the movements of the two, and couldn't help but sniff the smell of blood in the air, just like in Nanhuai Hangcheng.

Seeing Yi Xiaodao asking about the two, the soldier lowered his head and stepped aside: "The second son is in the handsome tent..."

Yi Xiaodao saw the soldier's silent appearance, he didn't care, dismounted, handed over the war horse to the soldier, and ran towards the tent alone.

"The eldest son, the second son, I have the elimination of the Chu Xiang army here..."Yi Xiaodao lifted the curtain and walked into the handsome tent excitedly.

The Nanhuai generals drew their swords and rose: "Who is so bold to trespass into the handsome tent!" Ah, Lord Yi, why are you here? ”

Yi Xiaodao stood in place, and what caught his eye was the body of Li Yaoyang lying on the table covered with scar, and Li Dingxing sleeping on the side.

"It's... What's going on..."Yi Xiaodao trembled and stretched out his hand and pointed to the table.

The bearded general walked over and said in a low voice: "The Chu Xiang army has outflanked the north and south, and the prince has given almost all the Nanhuai soldiers to the second master, and together with us, we will be able to meet the Chu Xiang army on the north road." I only took 5,000 men and horses to meet the southern road... In the end, outnumbered..."

Yi Xiaodao shook his head again and again: "I don't believe it, it is impossible for the eldest prince to die, and the eldest prince is powerful against ten thousand people, how can he lose?" You must be teasing me! As he spoke, Yi Xiaodao walked up to the case with a smile and saw that Li Yaoyang's body was covered with wounds, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping.

"Son, it's time to get up, I've seen through it... If you don't get up again, I'm going to tickle your flesh! Ha~" Yi Xiaodao reached out and scratched Li Yaoyang twice.

Li Yaoyang's corpse did not move.

"The eldest prince..."Yi Xiaodao lowered his head and had to accept this fact.

Everyone in the audience bowed their heads, but no one spoke.

Suddenly, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, and the Nanhuai soldiers all ran in a panic.

The bearded man lifted the curtain and shouted outside, "What are you running?" What are you panicking about? Did Chu Xiangjun call? ”

A soldier had just run past the tent and was grabbed by the beard: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Seeing that it was a bearded man, the soldier hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, and said, "There is a large army outside, I heard that it is the soldiers and horses of the imperial court..."

"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court?" The bearded man let go of the soldiers, signaled to retreat, turned back to the tent and asked, "Why are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court coming at this time?" ”

All the generals looked at Yi Xiaodao in unison, with doubts on their faces, Yi Xiaodao beat a drum in his heart, although Zhao Yizhi sent him out of this trip, he was secretly assigned, and he didn't know if he could control it.

Everyone and Yi Xiaodao came to the outside of the camp tent together, only to see the flag waving in the distance, a soldier and horse coming from the north, the people were strong and strong, and they couldn't see how many people and horses there were, only to see that there were several rows of generals in front, and there were hundreds of them. Everyone has different weapons and distinct armor.

"Is it the soldiers and horses of the imperial court?" The bearded man asked the others.

"I'm afraid I can't go wrong... Except for the army of the imperial court, who dares to fight the Yellow Dragon Banner? Someone replied.

A wide yellow dragon flag is flying in the wind, and the word "Zhao" can be faintly seen on the yellow dragon flag, which is sewn with silver thread, which is even more shining in the sun.

"I'll take a look!" Yi Xiaodao said that he was going to the stable to lead the horse.

A young warrior stopped in front of Yi Xiaodao: "Stop, do you want to go to the ventilating news?" ”

"How do you say that?" Yi Xiaodao was a little puzzled.

The young general grabbed Yi Xiaodao's collar and said: "Since you came to Nanhuai, Nanhuai has been in trouble, first the old prince was killed, and then the court sent two prisoners, the prince and Chu Xiang declared war, and now even the prince has died in battle." Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? Now you enter the camp first to check the news of the death of the prince, and then the imperial army is coming, and you want to run away now that the golden cicada is out of its shell? ”

Yi Xiaodao looked at the rest of the generals, and the generals looked at the two of them silently, but it could be seen from the eyes of everyone that many people were skeptical.

Yi Xiaodao stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky and said: "If I, Yi Xiaodao, have this heart, I will definitely hit five thunderstorms that day, and I will not die well!" ”

"Dare to be hard-mouthed!" The young warrior raised his fist as he spoke, and he was about to fight according to Yi Xiaodao.

"Stop!"

The two soldiers supported Li Dingxing, and Li Dingxing said slightly angrily: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Second master, you're awake!" Seeing that Li Dingxing had woken up, the generals hurriedly gathered around.

Li Dingxing looked around at the generals: "Why don't you have anyone to dissuade you?" Think so too? ”

The crowd was silent, and the bearded man whispered, "It has to be convincing." ”

Li Dingxing put aside the generals, came to the stable, took out a war horse, and handed the reins to Yi Xiaodao: "Master Yi, I believe in you, you go." ”

Yi Xiaodao pushed the reins away, walked to the camp gate, and said, "I'm not going, I'm just waiting here." ”

The young warrior muttered, "Still pretending." ”

Li Dingxing ignored everyone, stood behind Yi Xiaodao, and waited quietly together.

The speed of the army was not fast, and it was slowly advancing, but it did not take long for it to drive outside the camp gate, and the generals on both sides were divided into two sides, one in light armor and soft armor, and walked out on a horse, and there was a small eunuch who came out with him.

The person who came was Zhou Ziru!

"In accordance with His Majesty's holy decree, Li Yaoyang, the king of Nanhuai, acted willfully and recklessly, started the war, and was guilty of the country and the people! Send heavenly soldiers to attack it today and cancel the throne of the Nanhuai King! The edict is over. The army descends early! ”

After the little eunuch finished reading it, he dodged to the side.

Yi Xiaodao said loudly: "The Lord will answer!" ”

Zhou Ziru saw Yi Xiaodao at a glance, and was shocked: "How could this guy be here..."The two never looked at each other, but Zhou Ziru had already hidden in the crowd and had seen Yi Xiaodao when Yi Xiaodao had just arrived in the capital with Yin Mengwei.

"Are you the commander?" Yi Xiaodao saw that no one answered, only the fan-wielding person stood in front of everyone, and he expected that this person must be the commander of the army.

"So what? Who are you? Zhou Ziru asked knowingly.

Yi Xiaodao arched his hand and said: "Under Yi Xiaodao, I will send an envoy to Nanhuai on the orders of His Majesty." Before the envoy, I had never heard that His Majesty was going to be unfavorable to Nanhuai, and I would like to ask your Excellency to learn from it! ”

Zhou Ziru smiled: "Yi Xiaodao? The DPRK had never heard of such a person. ”

"What? He's not from the court? ”

"He's a fake!"

"We've all been deceived!"

The people in Nanhuai were in an uproar when they heard this, and they were talking behind Yi Xiaodao and Li Dingxing.

Li Dingxing had long known the details of Yi Xiaodao, and when he saw that Yi Xiaodao was being harassed, he couldn't bear it, but he couldn't say anything, so he just stood quietly behind Yi Xiaodao.

Yi Xiaodao ignored the reactions of the people in Nanhuai, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Please return to Beijing next time, meet Your Majesty, and then make a decision!" ”

"What are you! The imperial army is on the expedition, and it is your turn to speak as a pawn! Before Zhou Ziru could answer, a general behind him was already dancing with a big knife and shouting.

Yi Xiaodao ignored the general and stared straight at Zhou Ziru: "Li Yaoyang, the king of Nanhuai, has died in battle, please be accommodating." ”

Zhou Ziru raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of shock: "Really? ”

"It's true, please allow the king of Nanhuai to be buried in Nanhuai!"

Zhou Ziru's heart was like a thousand waves, this holy decree was naturally fake, and even Zhao Yizhi, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that Zhou Ziru had led a large army to Poyang Lake. Zhou Ziru's goal is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and if Nanhuai, Chuxiang and Hunan fight, there will be a defeat. But in the end, Nanhuai is rich, no matter whether Nanhuai wins or loses, Nanhuai must be the first to recover the imperial court, only then will the imperial court have a steady stream of taxes from Nanhuai to support the move of cutting the feudal domain in his heart.

Yesterday, Zhou Ziru received a battle report, Chu Xiang was defeated, and 50,000 soldiers and horses were lost. Then under the pretext of starting the war lightly, he started a war with Nanhuai and took Nanhuai into his pocket.

In Zhou Ziru's heart, as long as Nanhuai is recovered, the plan to cut the feudal domain is equivalent to half of the success. At this time, when I heard that Li Yaoyang, the king of Nanhuai, died on the battlefield, I felt a little remorseful in my heart. But when the play has reached this point, there is absolutely no reason to debunk it.

Just when Zhou Ziru was thinking, the general behind him couldn't bear his temperament anymore, and came with a sword and a sword: "Boy, eat me with a knife!" ”

The generals of Nanhuai stepped forward one after another, leaned closer to Li Dingxing's side, and protected him.

Yi Xiaodao slowly walked out of the camp gate and walked towards the comer, the big knife was raised high, and the war horse galloped fast, and it was about to be cut down.

Yi Xiaodao punched head-on and hit the war horse, and a ball of fire burst out from the fist, covering the war horse, and the war horse was frightened and twisted up and down. The general was also taken aback, caught off guard, and was lifted off by the war horse, and was just punched in the face by Yi Xiaodao.

"Get out!"

The sword-wielding fighter was knocked dozens of steps away by Yi Xiaodao's punch, and flew straight in front of the rest of the generals, and one of the generals stretched out a Fang Tian painting halberd to help this person stop his figure.

"Presumptuous!"

The fire on Yi Xiaodao's fist was clearly seen by both Nanhuai and the imperial court, and everyone was shocked.

But a court warrior was punched away, and it also annoyed the hundreds of court generals present, and everyone was ready to leap forward.

"Slow!" Zhou Ziru waved his fan to stop the hundreds of generals who were restless behind him.

Yi Xiaodao withdrew his fist, stared at Zhou Ziru and repeated: "Please allow the king of Nanhuai to be buried in Nanhuai!" ”

Li Dingxing stood behind Yi Xiaodao, looking at Yi Xiaodao's back, he couldn't help but blur his tears, through tears, Li Dingxing seemed to see Li Yaoyang's proud figure: "Big brother..."
