Chapter 45: Carnival and Bleakness
After Wang Lun and Shang Yunfei summed it up, Wang Lun entered the state of cultivation, he used his reluctance to forcibly seize Hu Meng's cultivation, although it was the first time to use it, but the absorption at such a close distance still reached a relatively high absorption rate, so Wang Lun's cultivation improved by two small realms at once, but it took a long time of meditation and cultivation to be able to stabilize, fortunately, it is now the carnival of Dongling City, and most of the people went to participate, and the courtyard that Wang Lun got was relatively remote, so no one came here for the time being.
After Wang Lun entered the cultivation here, the earth element and the thunder element appeared around it again, slowly spinning, this scene was seen by Shang Yunfei who was protecting the Dharma on the side, Shang Yunfei was surprised, although he knew that his master's skill was only the fourth level of entry, but he didn't know that it was a dual-element cultivation, you must know that the difficulty of dual-element cultivation is not a little bit or two.
But he wasn't surprised for long, turned around and walked out of the room where Wang Lun was, closed the door with his hand, and sat down in the courtyard. The courtyard of Baihuhou is not big, there is only one room, if Wang Lun cultivates in the house, if Shang Yunfei is also cultivating there, then since Shang Yunfei's cultivation is greater than Wang Lun, there is a great possibility that Wang Lun's same earth element as himself will be absorbed into his side little by little, so Shang Yunfei must leave a distance before he can start cultivating.
There is a big tree in Wang Lun's courtyard, the branches are dense, and there is a set of wooden tables and chairs under the tree, Shang Yunfei sat down here, and released his divine sense, which just covered the entire courtyard and a little outside the courtyard, if someone came over, Shang Yunfei would feel it.
Shang Yunfei also entered the cultivation state after doing all this, and now he has taken precautions anyway, and staying is also staying, it is better to seize the time to cultivate and improve his strength.
After Shang Yunfei began to cultivate, a circle of earth blocks formed by the combination of earth elements that were purer than Wang Lun's surroundings surrounded him, and Wang Lun, who was in the room, frowned at this time, because he also felt the existence of the earth element, which was very pure and powerful, as if there was a great new gravitational force attracting the earth element around him, Wang Lun began to suppress his earth element from being attracted to the past, but this was not very easy to do, so he had to call the thunder element to wrap the earth element to isolate the connection between the earth element and the outside.
At the same time that Wang Lun was wrapping up, the earth element had begun to mutate, and gradually it was directly fused with the thunder element, although it was not very obvious, but if this situation continued, it would be very good, just like after some elements were fused, the speed of cultivation would increase exponentially, but now Wang Lun did not feel this sense of superiority, but tried his best to wrap it.
When Wang Lun and Shang Yunfei were both practicing, the carnival in Dongling City was still continuing, and the cavalry that had been ordered to pursue the former corps that had fled also returned to Dongling City one day after the carnival.
As soon as Marshal Zhao heard that he came back to resume his life, he immediately came to the conference hall, only to see that the leading general was standing in the middle of the conference hall, a little embarrassed.
"Coming back? How's it going? Did you pursue the enemy troops? Marshal Zhao sat down in the middle and asked. It's better not to ask, as soon as I asked, the general immediately knelt down. While crying, he said: "Marshal, the last general is humiliated by the mission, the last general led two teams of elite cavalry to pursue the former corps, and soon caught up with their rear guard troops, but this rear guard unit did not know who was leading the troops, and set a trap for the last general, at that time, the last general was eager to attack, and did not find this trap, and found something wrong when he chased it, and it was too late to turn back, as a result, our department struggled to break through and lost a hundred cavalry, the last general was guilty, and asked the marshal to convict!" ”
In fact, it's not that this general is incompetent, it's just that the former corps leader is the black-bellied military advisor Chen Guantian, this Chen Guantian suggested leaving an empty camp to lure the enemy, and then told the marshal who led the army that there might be a pursuing enemy, and correctly guessed that there must be only cavalry in pursuit, and there were no other troops, so when they retreated to a somewhat low-lying basin, he went to suggest to the former corps leader marshal, saying that an ambush circle could be set up here. Send a force to act as a rearguard force to lure the enemy, and the large army can just rest and recuperate, and then the border will be on the way.
As a result, the two cavalry teams sent by Marshal Zhao to pursue were attracted to the past, but this general also had some ability, and he found an abnormality after chasing half of the army, and he reflexively killed out without waiting for the people of the former corps to be encircled, if the people of the former corps were encircled, then these two teams of men and horses would be buried in that basin, and finally at the cost of losing a hundred cavalry, they broke out of the encirclement and returned to Dongling City to resume their lives.
Marshal Zhao sat on the top and listened to the report, and was a little angry, but after thinking about it again, it was just that, after all, it had happened, and it was he who ordered the pursuit at that time, besides, even if the pursuit was not successful, at least the news had been sent to the First Corps here, and they would definitely take precautions on their side, so it was not a too bad result.
Therefore, Marshal Zhao did not put this defeated general in prison according to the custom, but reprimanded him solemnly, demoted him by one level, deducted one year's compensation to the families of the 100 sacrificed soldiers, and all the troops led by him were fined for three months, and compensated together. But the previous military order has been issued, that is, the carnival is three days, and the registered soldiers and civilians are exempted from taxes for one year, so their losses are not too big, and this matter has passed, but although these people have joined the carnival, they must feel uncomfortable.
It's not easy to look at the old corps, just finished here, set off to cross the border line, but the scouts who went to explore the road reported that a whole group of troops appeared on the border line on their way, and it should be the men and horses of the Chaoyang Corps.
Although Chen Guantian had calculated and won a small battle, they had nothing to carry after all, and the food and grass could not last long, so they couldn't think of any particularly effective way for a while, so they just said that they should let the troops rest for a while.
Chen Guantian and the other generals all gathered on the side of the marshal of the leading troops, but everyone's faces were very solemn, because they knew that there were only two ways to put them in front of them, one was to forcibly break through and kill out, as long as the picture was completed, then they would cross the border line and enter the scope of Sunset City. Time is the day when food is persistent, and there is not much food left.
