Under the cover of the Higriff Clan, who arrived later, the Flame Cavalry that broke through the siege withdrew from the West Gate into Duolun City. At this time, the army had begun to slowly move into the east gate, and on the castle tower, the battle dead on both sides were lined up on both sides, and the falcon soldiers came and went, buckets of water rushed to the blood-stained places, washing away the scattered dirt. These soldiers didn't know that the Flame Cavalry had gone through a bloody battle, and they were excited and relieved to easily take Duolun City.
At the gate of the camp below the city tower, the corpses had already been carried away, and the blood stains had been washed away, and more than a dozen falcon soldiers wearing waist knives stood solemnly on both sides, watching the back of the division commander with admiring eyes.
In the camp, there was no looting by the war, and there was no trace of the killing, but there was still a faint smell of blood. The soldiers were busy everywhere, some were helping the wounded, some were tidying up the barracks, and there was a hot and noisy noise.
Ling Hu's passing made the noise suddenly quiet, and they stood in place one by one, solemnly saluting. The fame and prestige of the division commander had already formed a deep and strong impression in their minds, and how could they not make these soldiers feel surging and their eyes glow brightly?
If it were in the past, Linghu would probably stop and chat and reward a few words. But at this moment, his mood was extremely heavy, and he didn't think about these things anymore, so he hung his face slightly and hurried by.
In a heavily guarded barracks, Ling Hu Jue saw Xia Xia, the old man and others, who had already learned about the battle situation of the Flame Cavalry, and there was unconcealed sadness and horror in their expressions.
Sitting separately, the corners of Xia Xia's lips spasmed, his face was a little gloomy, and he said worriedly: "Ah Jue." How's the battle going?"
An indescribable desolation swept over Linghu Juejun's face. In the dim light. The desolation seemed so deep and so lonely, it seemed to have become something real, attached to the face, embedded in the heart.
Sighing lightly, King Li on the side persuaded: "Hall Master, people are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that these miscellaneous pieces would abandon the city?"
His gaze was glazed, making Fox Jue seem to be in deep thought. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Xia Xia, can you send someone to take care of the granary?"
Xia Xia bowed his head and said, "Wolf Dianzun and Old Lady Shu have gone." ”
Linghu Juejian frowned slightly, and said to the old man on the other side of him and the others: "A few Ding Dukes, hard work, thoroughly investigate the corners and corners of the city to see if there are strong people lurking?"
The old man and the others knew that the hall master was in a bad mood, so they didn't say much, and went out directly.
Only Ling Hu Jue and Xia Xia were left, both of whom were silent and pondered. There was silence in the room, except for the sound of the two of them breathing. Clearly audible.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and the bloody, tired Duoshuo stepped through the door, his eyes were cold, his throat nucleus moved up and down, and he saluted in a crying tone: "Division commander." ”
The chest rose and fell so violently that Linghu couldn't help but tremble: "How about the casualties?"
The muscles on Duoshuo's face spasmed, he bit his lower lip in pain, and said weakly: "Nearly four thousand were killed in the battle, and countless people were wounded. ”
"What?" Sia stood up in shock, his gaze containing a peculiar emptiness, he had thought that the casualties of the Flame Cavalry might not be small, but he had never thought that it would be so heavy. You must know that the Flame Cavalry is the elite of the Falcon Division, and each of them is an iron-blooded man who has experienced a hundred battles.
Linghu Jue didn't have too many surprises because he had witnessed the battle with his own eyes, he just sighed, and there was a hot tear surging in the depths of his eyes, and this hot tear reached the bottom of his heart so quickly.
Duo Suo hung his head silently, his hands and ten fingers kept stretching and twisting, and finally, knelt on one knee and said sadly: "The two division commanders, the last general is not effective in battle, and he is willing to die. After saying that, he groaned in pain. To be honest, he was responsible for such a result, and he should have gotten rid of it in time when he knew that the defenders of Duolun City had withdrawn, rather than a bloody battle.
"Get up. Linghu said with a trembling voice.
The green muscles floated in Xia Xia's throat and howled twice, his hands were clenched tightly, and in the crisp sound of his knuckles, he said word by word: "No, it was my poor command that caused this great disaster because the Burning Flame Cavalry was running around day after day and the combat effectiveness declined." ”
"Enough. Ling Hu Jue gritted his teeth, and roared sharply with the blue tendons on his forehead: "Is there any point in us discussing this? I made the plan, and even if you are responsible, it will not be your turn." After saying that, a spasm of pain passed over his face.
The thunderous anger that he had never had before startled Xia Xia, and in his impression, Ah Jue had always buried any feelings in his heart and did not vent them. It can be seen that the guilt and anger in his heart have reached the extreme at this moment.
"Doshuo, you go down first. The heart was like a knife, and he turned sideways and said to Duoshuo, who was slowly standing up.
Duoshuo still lowered his neck, turned around like a clay sculpture, and the moment he stepped out of the threshold, his face was already stained with crystal tears.
Inside, the rough sound of breathing rose and fell, and Sia, who had gradually calmed down, just wanted to speak. A black-robed wolf swept in, and shouted in a voice that was a little out of control: "Hall Master, it's not good, the granary is empty." ”
Linghu Jue's back to his body was obviously shocked, and he slowly turned around, that handsome and cold face, but now, it was so sad and lonely, as if at this moment, he had been old for ten years, and muttered: "That's true." ”
Xia Xia knew the meaning of Ling Hu's words, let out a long breath, and said bitterly: "It seems that we have been tricked." "The granary is empty, and the only remaining luck in Ling Hu Jue's heart has been torn apart, and it is obvious that the opponent has long designed a trap against the Falcon Division, and against him Ling Hu Jue.
Thinking about it, Sia said slowly, "When did they transport the grain?"
Ling Hujue's eyes dimmed, and he felt a deep sense of frustration at this moment, as if the arrangement he had made before was simply a clown acting for his opponent. His lips trembled, and his voice was calm without a little shock: "It should be that they took the opportunity to go out of the city to meet the attack, requisitioned the grain and grass in Duolun City, and when they retreated, they transported all the grain and grass into the fortress." None of us expected that. "He's talking about us, including Larney.
Sia also understood. Sigh gloomily. Let's be honest. They couldn't wait to capture Duolun City, half of it was also for the food and grass in the city, but now, he felt like he was cocooned.
It was no different from the frustration that made Fox Jue's heart full of frustration at the moment, but what made him more restless than frustration was the intention of the opponent, and it was obvious that if the opponent was not more sinister. Even more terrifying intentions, the battle just now was the best time to inflict heavy losses on the Falcon Division.
Sia also thought of this, and couldn't help but shudder, and raised his head, greeted by a hazy gaze.
Sighing in his heart, Xia led the wolf out, he knew Ling Hujue, and knew that what he needed most now was to calm down.
The time when no one was disturbing always passed quickly, and the whole day Ling Fox was thinking about the true intentions of the Wanyue Clan. and the solution to the dilemma at hand. The other party's series of unexpected strains made his confidence begin to waver a little. He was well aware of what might come next. If you can't take the fortress as much as possible, then the Falcon Division will become a turtle in an urn, and it is only a matter of time before it is defeated.
Aren't they afraid that the fortress will be captured? Ling Hu Jue pondered deeply, and after a day of combing, he found the crux of the problem. The other party wanted to contain him and the Falcon Division in Duolun City, rather than rushing to eliminate them.
Why is this? Ling Hu Juejian frowned, pacing back and forth in the room, sometimes tilting his face, sometimes lowering his head, and a thick haze floated in his mind. At this moment, I don't know if it was the unyielding will in his heart, or the effect of the pure crystal's heart, the previous frustration and loss had gradually receded, replaced by a strong desire to win.
After dinner, and chatting with Xia for a while, Ling Hu Jue returned to the temporary residence of the camp, and the considerate Mansi deliberately lit a fire, a small red clay charcoal stove, which was hot, so that the small room was overflowing with a soft warmth.
Maybe it was because of the depressed mood, he didn't have the habit of drinking alone, he let Manse burn a pot of wine in, sat on the chair by the window, sucked gently, and tasted it slowly, the full of sorrow seemed to turn into a wisp of wine slowly invading his heart.
It seems that we have to go to the fortress first. Linghu Jue secretly put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned back in the chair, listened to the north wind howling outside the house, and thought about his next plan.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. No matter what method he used, he had to figure out the true intentions of the Remnant Moon Clan. Otherwise, this battle will not be fought!
As he closed his eyes and meditated, a slight fluctuation of magical elements that were almost mixed with the night wind rippled quietly, which made Ling Hu Jue startled, and a kind of ordinary alertness made him jump out of his original position in an instant.
The door opened silently, and a chilling wind swept in with snowflakes. An ethereal and noble figure came into his pupils.
Linghu Jue, who just wanted to react, was stunned, and blurted out: "Aunt Hong." ”
This uninvited guest was the Elven Empress, and after she walked softly, slowly, and almost silently, the door was closed again, and with a flick of her jade finger, a white light turned into a faint mist and disappeared.
Willow frowned slightly, and she smelled the faint smell of wine in the air.
Ling Hu Jue hurriedly moved the stool, to be honest, he felt an inexplicable excitement and joy in his heart about the sudden visit of the Elf Empress.
As if hesitating, the elf queen sat down, staring at Ling Hujue on the side, with intricate rhyme in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Jue'er, come with me." ”
The heartstrings trembled, and Ling Hu said in a sneering voice: "Aunt Hong, what do you mean by this?"
The empress was silent for a while, then raised her beautiful face, and said faintly: "You are desperate. ”
The whole body was stunned, and Ling Hu Jue said urgently: "Aunt Hong, what happened?"
The empress smiled bitterly, and a faint haze floated in the bitterness, clear and sad...... She had thought about it for a long time before she came over, but when she faced Ling Huju, the words she had prepared were difficult to say at once. After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind and said: "Jue'er, the Remnant Moon Clan has already used the fortress three cities to make deals with the Flower Clan, the Baicao Clan and other clans, you are a smart person, there are some things that the emperor doesn't need to say more." ”
As if suddenly touched by an electric current, the whole person was numb, and the mystery of Qiē was solved in an instant, and there was a painful spasm on his face, he bit his lower lip tightly, and said word by word: "The Remnant Moon Clan wants to borrow a knife to kill people?"
The empress's expression was very contradictory, she didn't know whether she should tell the real intention of the Linghu Jue Moon Clan? She's here this time. In fact, it's more about doing your best. is making up for the guilt and helplessness in my heart. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid Sisi from hating her when she wakes up. So, he sighed deeply and said, "Do you think there is still a chance to win?" Let's go, Jue'er, go to the Elven Forest with this emperor, get out of this circle of right and wrong, according to your talent, there may not be a comeback one day." ”
Linghu Jue had calmed down, and there was a firmness on his face that could not be hidden. There are his brothers and friends and nearly 100,000 soldiers here, can he go there? Will he go there? So, his eyes became cold, and he said in a low voice: "Aunt Hong, I won't leave, if you are worried about Sisi's safety, then I will break the contract now." ”
If these words came from someone else's mouth, the Elven Empress would definitely be furious, but at this moment, she did not have any resistance. Because she knew that Linghu would never say this. It's not that I look down on myself and treat myself slowly, but in this way, I come to tell myself that I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say much.
Expecting this to be the result, the Elven Empress said with a solemn expression: "In that case, Jue'er, you can do it yourself." According to the emperor's investigation these days, the Wanyue clan doesn't just want to borrow a knife to kill people, they are very likely to go to such great lengths to figure out you, eradicate the forces around you, and firmly pull the Hua clan and other clans by your side, preparing for the hegemony after joining the WTO. ”
Her words made Ling Hu Jue a little incomprehensible, his expression was extremely contradictory, and he was also extremely distressed.
After a moment of silence, the Elven Empress felt that she should still tell Linghu about the recent investigation and let him know what was going on. "Jue'er, is your mother from the Light Clan?"
Ling Hu Jue was startled again, and his eyes showed a trembling and uneasy expression, he never expected that this matter would involve his mother, whom he had never met.
The Elven Empress didn't look at Ling Hu Jue either, and continued: "When you killed the dynasty-level elite disciple of the Bright Clan that day, but you have been unharmed, this emperor feels strange, and now it seems that there should be a powerful force within the Bright Clan supporting you. ”
The more he listened, the more confused he became, in his consciousness, his mother was just a saint who was executed by the temple, how could he have anything to do with the powerful forces in the Bright Clan?
Seeing his thoughtful look, the Elven Empress said gently: "There is no need to doubt this, it's just that this emperor hasn't figured out why this force supports you yet?" Also, the willow catkins of the Flowing Shadow Sect, including this emperor, are probably all in the plan of the Remnant Moon Clan. ”
As soon as she said this, Ling Hujue's thinking became clear, and the Remnant Moon Clan figured out this fortress battle, co-opted allies, and eradicated dissidents. But there is one thing he still doesn't understand, why the Wanyue Clan can be sure that he will involve these forces, and the Elf Clan can still say, after all, his relationship with Sisi and Night Ghost is there. But the Shadow Sect, the Bright Clan is too far-fetched.
I was puzzled, and the elf queen who was present spoke slightly apologetically: "Jue'er, the emperor has said everything that should be said, you should also understand the emperor's difficulties, the power of the flower clan, the Baicao clan and other races is not weak, before the form is clear, the emperor can't put the entire elf clan in a dangerous situation for you, please understand." ”
Her calmness made Ling Hu's chest hot, to be honest, the jade talisman of the elf queen in the dark that day made him feel a little guilty of the elf queen, and he felt abandoned. But now, that feeling is gone, so he said gratefully: "Aunt Hong, your kindness is unforgettable, if you are unfortunately defeated this time, please take care of your family and friends." ”
Seeing that he was in a desperate situation, he still remembered his family and friendship. This made the Elf Empress quite emotional, she looked at Ling Hu Jue deeply, as if making a final effort, and said, "You really don't want to go with this emperor?"
Ling Hu Jue suddenly smiled, the smile was very bright, very sunny, and in the whole description, there was a young man's vigor and vigor. He looked at him with eye level and said quietly: "Aunt Hong, the life of our human race is very short, so death is not terrible. The scary thing is, I don't know why I live?"
His words made a ripple in the Elven Empress's deep heart, and after nodding with feeling, he said in a very deep tone: "You are right, it is because there are too many races that do not know why they are alive, and there are so many disputes and killings in this world. After speaking, he paused, and asked with great interest: "Jue'er, then what are you living for?"
Short, but profound, Ling Hu Jue smiled proudly, his eyes became distant, and he said slowly: "Guard, protect the people around you, protect those beautiful primitive emotions, and if possible, let more people protect together." ”
Listening carefully, the Empress did not speak, there was a hazy brilliance in her eyes, and she nodded her head in a heavy, almost imperceptible way, as if endless pain was holding her back, what were these pains? Finally, after holding a bitter smile, the jade hand void pressed lightly, and a purple jade box with light inside appeared in her hand and slowly opened.
A four-inch long, shining white halo of strange objects placed on the sky blue color satin, the texture is like jade like stone, the color is clear and clear, half-bent into an arc, like a bend in the blue sky exudes a faint brilliance of the moon, giving people an extreme, deep beauty.
Without waiting for the fox to speak, the Elf Empress said slowly and calmly: "This is the Emperor Beast Relic. (To be continued)
