On the desolate mountain road, the west wind was blowing. Where is the fastest update of the novel?Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info there are no pedestrians on the road, and it seems unusually lonely and quiet. Suddenly, a cloud of dust rolled up in the distance, and the sound of hurried hooves sounded like thunder. After a while, dozens of iron horses were clearly visible, and one ride ahead was a great way to make the fox unique. I saw that he slowed down his horse, his shoulders wrinkled slightly, as if he was full of thoughts, and he only thought about himself on the horse. It's been two days since they left Luoyue Town, and Tusu and Satsuki have stayed there as planned. But the strength is still weak, if the thundering thieves don't get hit, and then attack on a large scale, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky.

But what makes Linghu absolutely anxious is not this, since this morning, he has a hunch, as if there are always a pair of eyes behind him have been staring at him, cold and rancid, if there is nothing, if there is no departure, that feeling, just like passing through a meadow, the grass suddenly flashed the red letter of the poisonous snake, and immediately disappeared, leaving only the unique viciousness and fierceness of the snake's eyes, which made people can't stand goosebumps.

At this time, behind him, a girl in red knight's armor urged the horse to his side, Jin Feidan, heroic, turned out to be the baby daughter of Mayor Kate, Kailin. It turned out that when Ling Hu Jue and the others left Luoyue Town, Mayor Kate naturally asked him one thing by the way - to send Kai Lin to Tieti City. Linghu Jue thought that it was not a difficult thing, so he agreed. But he soon regretted it, because this Kailin was so annoying.

"General Linghu, Bing Shuyun, will be the first to strategize, and the warrior is brave first, what do you think?" Although Kai Lin is pestering, she basically asks for some military and combat skills, it seems that this girl is very strong and self-motivated.

But Ling Fox's thoughts now fell completely on the ghostly eyes behind him, "Who could it be? Ghost Ninja, Temple, or Thunder Thief?" he turned out his enemies one by one, and then cleaned them up one by one, so that he didn't even have time to answer what Kailin said to him.

"General Linghu?General Linghu?" Kai Lin's eyebrows gradually became depressed, and her voice became much heavier, she was a little angry at the indifference of Linghu Jue these two days, "What are you dragging? Isn't it just a broken hunter, except for being handsome, I don't see anything?"

There was a chaotic rumbling in his head, and Ling Hu Jue shook his head and said a little apologetically, "Miss Kailin, I was thinking about things just now, I'm sorry, what did you ask me just now?"

Kai Lin was displeased, and pouted again about the question, and then added, "General Linghu, if you think I'm annoying, just sue me, you don't need to treat me with this attitude." ”

Ling Hu Jue let out a long breath and said softly: "How can this be?" Miss Kailin, it's just that I have too many things to worry about, I think so, you might as well go and consult Xiusi, he knows better than me in terms of military affairs." ”

"He?" Karin looked back at Hughes, who was talking to Manse in a low voice not far behind, a little confused, and continued hesitantly, "He knows the art of war?"

To be honest, Ling Hu Jue himself knows that this excuse is too clever, and Xius doesn't look like a wise general with a strategic strategy, but other than that, how do you tell him to attract Kailin to Xius. So he could only swallow a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty, "Don't be deceived by his appearance, he is a wise and foolish person, and he does have his own unique set of fighting with the army, especially the combat skills, which are a must for our falcon division." ”

Kai Lin had great doubts, but out of trust in Ling Hujue, she still nodded slowly and said: "You don't say that I really can't see it, the appearance is heroic, the heart is delicate, it seems that this Xiusi really has the material of a general, I have to ask for advice when I have time." ”

Seeing that Kai Lin was heroic, there was indeed a bit of a sense of not letting the eyebrows go, which made Fox Jue think of another thing, "If Xiusi can marry such a wife, Uncle Xiufa will probably laugh from ear to ear." "Uncle Xiusi is Xiusi's father, and he is also a famous hunter in the tribe, and when he comes out, his only explanation to himself is to find a good daughter-in-law for Xiusi.

Seeing a strange and interesting smile floating on the corner of Ling Hujue's mouth, and the lip line was also showing a rare soft curve, Kai Lin was a little stunned, of course she didn't know Ling Hujue's thoughts at this time, but she had a very sudden thought, so she asked, "General Linghu, your cold appearance is completely different from those cool male classmates in our academy, there is an indescribable feeling, is it that you have cultivated some kind of special martial arts?"

Ling Hu Jue smiled calmly, completely did not reveal the deep thought and shock that Kai Lin's question brought to his heart, and said meaningfully: "The cultivation of character and temperament is not single, or because your blood flows with a sense of innate coldness, or the acquired environment makes you have to learn to be ruthless, in a word, when habits become natural, when the primitive mixed environment, everyone will move towards a completely different angle, me too, you too." ”

Kailin was a little dazed, because many of the meanings in these words were something she couldn't understand now, at this moment, she seemed to feel the old age and helplessness in Ling Hu's heart, this kind of old age and helplessness is a special wisdom, it can make people very sober to face the future, face themselves, and even face death. Looking at the proudly independent but slightly lonely Ling Hujue, Kailin suddenly remembered what Mr. Brewer said in the strategy class, "Geniuses are always lonely, because their thoughts have reached a level that ordinary people can't touch, and when they use this idea on the battlefield, invincibility is no longer a myth, so the god of war is here, and he may be around us." ”

This sentence was originally a method for the teachers of the academy to stimulate students' deep thinking and comprehensive consideration, but at this moment, it has become Kailin's most intuitive feeling to understand Ling Hujue, "He should be the kind of person who belongs to the genius described by Mr. Brewer." Kaylin raised her eyes, her eyes flowing, with the admiration of a knight for a man with the demeanor of an emperor.

At this time, Liu Ming rode his horse to catch up, since the battle with the Thundering Thieves, he had a new evaluation of Ling Hu Jue and the Falcon Division, he used to always think that it was the most basic reason why the Falcon Division was famous because of its courage and good fighting, but now, he realized that the most important reason why the Falcon Division was able to win several times in adversity was that they had a very strategic mind, and a very adventurous division commander. Ling Fox, with his special cohesion and appeal, he used the most direct method to highlight the combat effectiveness of the falcon division, attacking the enemy's own weaknesses that he was not aware of, as silent as a virgin when quiet, and as fierce as a lion pounced on a rabbit when moving.

Take the previous battle as an example, let the most aggressive Blood Eagle take advantage of the bad weather at that time to cause chaos among the thieves, and then directly take the knife himself, and then there is the strongest cavalry to sweep away the thieves who are disheartened, ring by ring, link to link, not to mention the rabble of thieves, even the real army is difficult to have the ability to organize a strong resistance under such an attack method. But Liu Ming didn't understand a little, why Linghu would let those thieves live at the last moment, for a real soldier, mercy is the biggest enemy, he believes this, Linghu will never know.

Rubbing his hands, the bell on the horse's neck rang gently, Liu Ming smiled at Ling Hu Jue and Kai Lin and said, "General Ling Hu, I have a question I can't figure out these two days, I want to ask you?"

Ling Hu Jue had just recovered from the associations and memories caused by Kai Lin's question, and said with a smile, "General Liu, don't dare to ask for advice, if there is anything to say, we can discuss it with each other." ”

Liu Ming was anxious to know the answer, and he didn't make much politeness to Ling Hujue's modesty, so he asked, "General Linghu, I really can't understand why you let those thieves go at the last moment, and also let go of some of the thieves who have already been caught, aren't you afraid that they will come back?"

"yes, General Linghu, I don't understand it either?" Kailin was obviously curious about the question as well, after all, these experiences could not be learned in books.

"Well. Ling Hu never hesitated at all, and said calmly, "I let them gore, in addition to not wanting to see more blood, there is another reason, and that is to prevent them from making a comeback." ”

Liu Ming and Kai Lin obviously didn't understand what Ling Hu Jue meant, and there was a confused expression on their faces, and at this time, Hughes and Mans saw that they were talking about the excitement, and they also rode up to catch up. Linghu gave Xiusi a strange look, and then said, "Those thieves who escaped by chance, if they return to the Thundering Thieves, in order to reduce their responsibility, they will definitely exaggerate our strength, which will create an illusion for Fugai (the leader of the Thundering Thieves' Band), and he will think that since we have the courage to let these thieves go, then we are not afraid that he will come to the door again." Even if he didn't believe that we would always guard Luoyue Town, he would send someone to scout before attacking, so as to leave Luoyue Town enough time to wait for reinforcements from Red Moon City. ”

"I see. Everyone's heart floated with such thoughts, especially Liu Ming, the questions that had trapped him for many days were answered so easily, and his mood was relaxed, his eyebrows were stretched, and he could only use two words to describe Ling Hujue's far-sightedness now, "terrible." ”

After all, Kai Lin is still a little tender, she can't just mention it like Liu Ming, and the rest of the things will be thought about by herself, she still groaned a little and asked, "Then if that Fu Gai is carried away by anger, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, kill Luoyue Town, then my father is not very dangerous?"

"I said Miss. This time it was Theseus who answered, and he suddenly laughed and said, "You think that Fugai is as brainless as you, the thief group he led must be a cautious person who has been able to dominate the Pami Plain for so many years, so he will definitely fall for the scheme." ”

"You--" Kailin was really angry this time, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her face changed color, she glared at Xiusi fiercely, and scolded in her heart, "You big stupid cow, you dare to say that Miss Ben is stupid, see how I will clean you up in the future?" In fact, she knew that Xiusi had asked Ling Hujue this question yesterday, and now he was just repeating Ling Hujue's answer to her word for word. No, Ling Hu Jue and Mans, who knew the whole story, couldn't help but laugh, especially Mans, looking at Xiusi's triumphant appearance, tried to hold back a laugh, but she failed, and the corners of her lips kept twitching to make Sisi, who was out of her arms, a little puzzled, "Hey, what's so funny about this?"

As if she couldn't stand the smug face of Theseus, Kailin snorted heavily, and galloped into the distance without looking back. The sound of the horse's hooves slammed on the ground quickly and crisply, echoing in laughter, lingering in the twilight, and in the incomparable harmony, Ling Hu Jue and the others approached Crowe City again.

Coiled over the steep Rama Peak, through the steep Huyan Valley, listening to the soft sound of the horse bell and the desolate and energetic hooves, countless times the wind and sand blowing, countless times through the forest and wading, the red sunset staring at the lonely eyes, again and again. Finally, on the 14th day after leaving the Red Moon City, the majestic and bloody and sweaty city wall of Crowe has been displayed in front of him, looking at the city head with dense flags, Ling Fox seems to have returned to the night of the city break, although the scene at that time has become a memory, but the mottled and old city wall still reveals a strong rhyme: the war will never pass!!

The closer you get to the city, the more people have taken refuge from all over the city, making it difficult for the caravan to move quickly. Looking at a group of civilians who put their household utensils on the carriage and had a frightened look on their faces. , and the cries of children and women in their ears. Linghu Jue had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he knew that these people were the most direct victims of war, because the most cruel game between empires - war made them lose their original intact homeland, laughter, and hope, they were pitiful, innocent, but they were the most qualified to live. "Why, why let these innocent people bear the consequences of the war?" Ling Hu Jue himself didn't realize it, and it was because he had such a question that he connected his future fate with these people.

Ling Hu Jue was a little gloomy, he looked back at Xiusi, Tefaro and the others, according to their martial arts, the non-stop running for days was not enough to affect their physique. They should be in good spirits at the moment, without the slightest sign of fatigue. But now it was not unexpected, everyone seemed extremely tired, as if their bodies and minds were overwhelmed by the sad and indignant atmosphere of the scene. Especially Tefaro, the strong contrast between Red Moon City and Crow City has completely silenced this arrogant and kind elf, and when he transferred the horror of war from the fighting on the battlefield to the scene in front of him, he really understood what Ling Hu Jue once said to him, "Killing is not cruel, cruelty is the meaning behind killing, whether it is death or salvation." If it is for the sake of saving the killing, then I will never put down my weapon, even the butcher's knife. ”

"Yes, in order to live better, we can only kill more cruelly. Tefaro had never had such a thirst for war, and he clenched the longbow behind his back, rubbing it very hard, and the bulging tendons under his fair skin were unusually red.

Ling Hu Jue waved his hand back, and Xiusi and the others on horseback had turned over and got off the ground in unison, each leading their mounts and moving along the crowd. The closer you get to the city gate, the more crowded the people become, and when they are about a hundred paces away from the city gate, they have to stop and wait from time to time. "Are there so many people in Crowe City every day?" asked Liu Ming, who was about to come forward to greet him, as Ling Hu Juechao squeezed in front of him.

Liu Ming was already a little excited at this time, after all, for him, it was home. He lowered his voice and explained, "Tens of thousands of refugees have been pouring into the city every day since the gates were lifted, and I have just heard someone say that the troops of the Kotrou Empire have withdrawn from the cities they have captured and are gathering to the west of the city of Doron, and it seems that they have learned of the arrival of our reinforcements and are preparing to defend the fortress. ”

"I guess it's not that simple. Ling Hu Jue shook his head and said, his face was calm but his heart was agitated, "Judging from the current changes in the situation, it is already an ironclad thing that the Kotru Empire and the Liulai Empire have colluded, but how should I mention it to General Aura? Even if I do, what can it change? If it is really what I envisioned, what should we do?" His mind was like a galloping horse, making the most direct and effective judgment between various possibilities and hypotheses, after all, for war, facts are the only measure of results.

The city gates were heavily guarded, and nearly 100 heavily armed soldiers searched those who looked suspicious, in addition to the necessary interrogations of everyone who wanted to enter the city. This also gave some of the soldiers who wanted war money an opportunity to fish in troubled waters. No, there is such a one now, "Master Jun, these silver coins are all my belongings, you can do it, give it back to me." An old man in a homespun coat with a slight back trembling pulled a burly officer and cried.

The officer's face was flat, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and his eyes were full of fierce light, and he said impatiently: "Old immortal, don't hurry up and go in, no matter how wordy, I won't even let you enter the city gate." ”

The old man still refused to let go, and the old man burst into tears, almost lying on the ground and begging, "Master Jun, please return the money to me for the sake of my son who is also a soldier, this is what he left me before he left, and I will live on this money until he comes back." ”

When the officer heard that the old man's son was also a soldier, he couldn't help but ask, "Old man, don't fool me, your son belongs to that division, if Lao Tzu knows, I will return the money to you, if I don't know, you better get me in as soon as possible." After speaking, he also checked the money bag in his hand, this money bag is very broken, it is made of blue cloth, oily flowers, and it is a little wet on it, and it seems to be sticky with sweat.

"Good, good. The old man's wrinkled face took on a strange and strange brilliance, but it was only fleeting, and then he continued to plead, "He is from the Falcon Division, and I don't know what he does." ”

"Falcon Division. These four words are tantamount to lighting the fuse of a pile of fire, and the entire city gate is suddenly full of excitement and people, causing a small chaos. The officer was still considering whether to return the money bag to the old man, but under this kind of form, he was so angry that he threw the old man away, and the sound of crying and collision suddenly rose.

"Stop. Although Ling Hu Jue was a step slower, and only supported the old man's body that fell out, his voice was low, containing incomparable majesty and coldness, which made the hearts of the people around him, including the officer, beat slightly. Especially when they saw Ling Hu's handsome face clearly, everyone couldn't help but feel a slight shock, and in their intuition, they felt that this distinct face seemed to have heard of it, but they couldn't think of it for a while.

The officer looked at Ling Hujue, who was fluttering in white, and Xiusi and the others who followed closely behind him, all of them had a calm demeanor and a sharp light in their eyes, and knew that these people were not easy to mess with, but he still shouted loudly, "Who are you?"

"Company Captain, don't you even know General Ben?" As the commander of the Thousand Cavalry of the City Guard, Liu Ming knew the officer in front of him, he was the captain of the Fourth Infantry Brigade of the City Guard Army.

Lian Li tried to patronize Ling Hujue and the others, but he didn't notice General Liu Ming, who was still standing next to him from the cavalry brigade, and immediately saluted him respectfully, "My subordinates have seen General Liu." ”

Liu Ming couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw Ling Hujue's frost-like expression on his side, because he felt that this expression was not only cold, but also contained a supreme majesty! He didn't want to give Linghu Jue a chance to be angry, so he immediately said, "Lian Pitu, I see that you are a soldier in vain, do you know who is standing in front of you? General Linghu of the Falcon Division, he is not ready to salute. ”

"Oh my mother. Liu Ming's mention made Lian Litu break out in a cold sweat, his legs were weak, and he almost knelt on the ground, "Falcon Division, General Linghu." These eight words, as if they were eight magic hands, suddenly grabbed everyone's heartstrings, and these people stared blankly at Ling Fox in front of them, and their breathing became rapid and heavy.

Linghu didn't want to make any unpleasantness on the first day of entering the city, he glanced at Lian Litu coldly, and said, "Throw the money bag over, you can keep it if you want, then use it to buy a coffin." ”

Lian Pitu's heart beat violently, and the money bag in his hand seemed to have turned into the fangs of a rattlesnake's grinning fangs, and he was afraid of being bitten, so he subconsciously threw it over. "Let's go. Ling Hu Jue caught the money bag, he saw that there were more and more people around, and he had no intention of staying for a long time, so he picked up the old man and walked towards the city. "You, are you really General Linghu?" the old man asked with a stirring emphasis, as he seemed to not believe his ears and eyes, and his tearful eyes showed trembling anticipation.

"Yes, sir. There is a strong contrast between the calm of the fox and the excitement of the old man, and in the sunset, there is a strong contrast between a rickety back and a tall figure, but the contrast between the two is so harmonious, as if it should be like this, and as if it should not be like this.

The sunlight that slipped down the city wall made the fox and the old man's back merge into a black shadow, firm and thick. Just like the walls that have witnessed history―――――― old years, the unchanged face.

At this time, Lian Litu came to his senses completely, and he secretly congratulated himself that he had his own heavenly appearance, and he was glad that he would not die in a catastrophe, and he would have a blessing. But he was glad too early, a shining silver rainbow reflected thousands of rainbow rays of light in the sun, rubbing the ears of many people, the corners of the lips, piggyback, so accurate, and so coincidentally shot Lian Litu just now on the wrist of the money bag and disappeared.

Lian tried to squeeze his wrist hard, wailing, blood dripping out from between his fingers, and his expression suddenly revealed an indescribable poignant.

Hearing Lian Li's cry as if trying to kill a pig, Ling Hu Jue smiled slightly, he knew who made the move, and turned around, Cofaro, this excellent elven archer, was also looking at him with a smile on his face, and there was a sincere tacit understanding in his eyes.
