Li Shou thought that after this small task was over, he would get a moment of peace - after all, even if the natives and Fang Ant's people wanted to take revenge, they would have to wait until their injuries were healed.

But it backfired.

On the fifth day after the end of the Qingwu Villa incident, Yanwu County of Qingguo launched an attack on Changping County of Zhou.

Although there has been constant friction on the border between Zhou and Qingguo in recent years, the war has never really stopped.

However, most of Qingguo's attacks are only small fights in the nature of military training, large-scale attacks, and they will only come once every few months.

This attack was very tragic, and on the day of the battle, it is said that thousands of people died.

"It seems that the Qingguo side has made up its mind, no matter whether the Qingwu Mountain Villa succeeds or not, this time a general attack will be launched." In Cao's Mansion, Li Shou and Emperor Jue were talking in the tea room.

Since the last time Li Shou came, Emperor Jue's status in the Cao family has been higher, and after the Qingwu Villa incident, his status has risen a little.

Although he is still a son-in-law, he can always move freely, and he can entertain guests casually - this is a great improvement from the past, and before Li Shou came for the first time, he was even at risk of being assassinated.

"How's the fighting going on the other side of the border?" Li Shou came today to inquire about the news, and by the way, he sent something to Emperor Jue.

"There are rumors outside that the Zhou army is fighting well...... But the reality is not so good. ”

In modern warfare, there are mobile phones and the Internet, and ordinary people do not know the specific situation of the war, and they all read all kinds of news from propaganda mouths, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

In this ancient world, the rumors outside are even less credible.

Fortunately, Emperor Jue is in the Cao Mansion, and many of the private soldiers of the Cao Mansion will go to the border to support, and their news channels are even more sensitive and accurate than the county soldiers.

Having access to information is a very important thing in this world.

"It's not good, the Qing army is too brave, not afraid of death, and the individual combat power is strong, it is said that on the border line, the Zhou army suffered heavy casualties. If it weren't for the fact that we had defended the city and transported it, the situation would have been even less optimistic......"

"Do you have any support from other counties?"

"No, this time not only our Changping County was attacked by the Qing Army, but several counties on the border were attacked, our strategic position here is not so high, and we will not be given priority if we have support."

"Understood." Li Shou nodded, "It seems that this Changping County may not be able to hold it......"

"It's hard to say, in addition to the soldiers and generals who affect the battle situation in this world, there are also top masters. A top player can sometimes make the difference between winning and losing a battle. By the way, when do you go to the Magi Pavilion when you are a master? Are we still going along? ”

"You can't follow, in the last battle of Qingwu Villa, although we won a big victory, we also exposed part of our identity. Now that there are Qingguo Xiaozuo staring at me, and there are also people from Fang Ant Black Mist, if we leave Xuangui City on a large scale and cross seven or eight counties to the capital, we will definitely encounter danger halfway.

Our staffing itself determines that we will be very powerful in ambushing others, but if others sneak attack, we will definitely kill a large number of people. Also, there are a lot of people in our team of the first and third classes who have a low level of physical strength, and if I cross the county by myself, it will be much faster than crossing with a large army.

So now it's best for everyone to continue in Gengui City, where everyone has been operating for a while, and they have a plan to deal with danger. I'll take the time to go to the capital and get back quickly. ”

"Well, that's pretty much what I thought."

"And you have this." As Li Shou spoke, he gave Emperor Jue all the things he got from the soothsayer, "This is the trophy of the high-level Fang Ant, and this person's kill points are higher than those of the mantis people." He left a lot of props, and these props were all task rewards exchanged by Fang Ant, and he didn't know if he could bring them back. This thing is very complicated, you need to learn a good brain and use it to study and study to see if you can make it. It's okay for anything else, I'll go first. ”

"Okay."

After leaving Cao's Mansion, Li Shou returned to the villa and contacted Xiao Ruyi.

At this time, he had changed back to the appearance of the eldest lady of Qingwu Mountain Villa.

When they met again, his eyes were much haggard.

"Alas, my classmates are dying." Xiao Ruyi didn't joke with Li Shou again this time, but sat on the steps of the villa and looked up at Qingzhu next to him.

Seeing him like this, Li Shou suddenly thought of the middle-aged version of himself.

When all the people around you are dead, there will definitely be some loneliness.

After all, even if the relationship was not very good at the beginning, but after experiencing so many tasks together in life and death, there have long been fetters in it.

Li Shou thought about himself.

Not to mention that people like King Juehuang, who had been friends from the beginning, died.

Even if Ma Nanzheng, who he didn't want to see at first, or Chen Zihan, who was even an enemy at the beginning, died, he would feel uncomfortable.

"Let's mourn." Li Shou stepped forward and patted Xiao Ruyi on the shoulder, "You have already done a lot, without your efforts, maybe at the beginning of the third game, everyone in your camp would be killed by that No. 6." And No. 6 is now dead, which can be regarded as revenge for everyone. ”

"Well, thanks buddy."

"It's okay, I have to kill him if I don't avenge you."

"I'm not talking about that, I'm saying that you didn't even fall into the trap. At that time, there were a lot of scores......"

"......" Li Shou looked at Xiao Ruyi, and suddenly thought that this person was the same as Ma Nanzheng, a very "flexible" person who would do whatever it took to complete the task.

"If you killed someone at that time, I will retaliate, although I don't have the ability to fight, but I can also reveal part of your hiding place, and also, Zhuang Fei will listen to me, you will have one more powerful enemy."

Zhuang Fei.

Li Shou came to this world to meet one of the strongest natives.

After listening to the words of the Variety Mouse, Li Shou only felt that sometimes he really couldn't be too desperate.

"We've thought about killing you guys, but it's too immoral to do it, and the benefits aren't that great, so you don't have to thank me. Now that so many people have died on your side, how are you going to complete the mission after that? ”

"Rely on the natives to try, or maybe I thought about it, and continue to provide you with information. Because the information is provided by me, and I also have a profit on my side after you complete the task. This is also a win-win cooperation, is it okay? ”

"Yes. I know you have a special way of sourcing information that can be of great help...... But until then, I want to use the power of the Lower Mountain Villa, if something happens to Xuangui City, help me protect my classmates, I'm going to leave for a few days. ”

"Okay. If something happens, I'll ask Zhuang Fei to help. ”

……

After meeting Xiao Ru, Li Shou left the villa.

He took the map he had found in Xuangui City, and walked all the way in the direction of the capital of the Zhou Kingdom.

According to the map, it is necessary to cross 7 counties to reach the middle of the capital, and Li Shou estimates that it is almost 1,100 kilometers according to the scale.

"I don't know how long it will take. I am now at about the same speed as a galloping horse, 800 miles in ancient times to send letters in an urgent way, 800 miles a day, that is, a galloping horse can run 400 kilometers a day at full speed. But at that time, the 800-mile rush was a short road, and the post station had to change horses, otherwise the horses could not maintain a high speed for a long time...... A normal horse travels 1,200 kilometers a day. My stamina is stronger, and it is no problem to run three or four hundred kilometers, and I can reach the capital in about three days. ”

"Forget it, no matter what, you can't delay time, go early and return early!" While Li Shou was speaking, he penetrated into the mountains and forests.

Not far away, a figure also flashed out.

"Boy, you dare to lie to me, and finally let me get the chance to be alone......"
