Volume 1 Chapter 69: The Twilight of the Hero
"Well done, Mr. Black!" said Walksy rushed forward, grabbed Yunzhong's shoulder, and celebrated loudly.
The rest of the generals were also overjoyed, and Saigahaha, the eldest son of Sigu Sutai, laughed and said, "We have won this boy, and in three months, Temujin will die under his father's star spear, and the Bojin tribe will be completely defeated by us." ”
There was a chorus of echoes.
The face hidden behind the masked towel in the clouds frowned slightly.
"Are you really leaving?" asked Ashuru with a frown in the mercenary tent after the celebration feast.
Yunzhong nodded lightly: "I'm going back to Dashang, I got the news that the Rakshasa Kingdom has sent a large army to Donghai Prefecture again, and the war between Dashang and Rakshasa is about to rekindle, and I must go back to the war." ”
Iltrithius asked, "What do we do then?"
Yunzhong replied: "Sabu will stay here, and I will continue to hire you for four months, and after four months, the form on the Murowei steppe will be clear, and at that time, you can do as you please, or stay here and find another employer, or go back to Ding Ling." ”
He took out a space bag and handed it to Sabu, saying, "There are two million gold coins in it, just in case." ”
Ashur said: "I don't like those sons of Xigu Sutai very much, I'd better go to Dashang to fight Rakshasa for you, what do you think?"
Yun Zhong smiled: "Of course, I do need experienced fighters over there, but fighting over there won't be as much oil and water as here." ”
Asuru shrugged: "The matter of money is negotiable. ”
"Let me stay here," said Iltrisius in a deep voice, for on the one hand, there are too many people who will go and they will be dissatisfied, and on the other hand, he looked to the west, which was in the direction of Temujin's camp, "and there is a boy named Baibars there, and I have an account to settle with him." ”
After some discussion, Ashuru took his five hundred Nord hoplites, as well as several other mercenary groups, a total of about 2,000 people, and returned to Dashang with Yunzhong, while Iltrihu and Cuomo led the remaining 24,000 troops to remain under the command of Sabu and continue to fight for Sigusutai for four months.
The next day, Yunzhong went to Xigu Sutai and Zamuhe to say goodbye, Xigu Sutai was a little surprised, and hurriedly stayed, but Zamuhe said: "Mr. Hei has a special identity, there is something important to do, and it is inconvenient for me to stay." Xigu Sutai didn't say more, and ordered to set up a banquet for the clouds.
"The old guy thinks he's won. Above the banquet, Walkey walked over to Yunzhong and whispered.
Yun Zhong said with a smile: "The warriors of Xigu Sutai are the pinnacle of the Heavenly Rank, they have been crisscrossing the grassland for decades, except for Pang Zhen, they have never met an opponent, and Temujin is only the Fourteenth Heaven of the Heavenly Rank, and his cultivation is much worse, maybe Temujin is better in fighting with soldiers, but fighting alone is indeed the strength of Xigu Sutai." ”
"You came up with this strategy to boost the morale of the coalition forces, but now it's good that they are no longer looking for any way to win, and have put all their hopes on the personal bravery of Sigu Sutai, and such an unenterprising army will never be able to win this war," said Walksey. ”
Yunzhong gently "shh
Yunzhong sighed faintly, lifted the hem of the face towel and drank a cup of pain, turned around to look, only to find Xigu Sutai standing beside him.
"Mr. Hei, it's too boring and a little uncomfortable, how about we go out for a walk?"
Yunzhong followed behind Xigu Sutai and walked out of the big tent, Tu Xie Tu and the others wanted to follow, but they were stopped by Xigu Sutai: "The old man has some personal matters to tell Mr. Hei, you are not allowed to follow!"
The two walked out for more than a hundred meters before Xigu Sutai stopped and asked, "Mr. Hei, do you think these people are ridiculous?"
Yunzhong did not speak, remained silent.
Sigu Sutai didn't mind either, and continued: "After three months, Temujin and I will win or lose in five or five, and even if I win, it will be impossible for me to protect the Kexing Department for a long time. ”
The old hero's face showed a look of loneliness: "I am not Pang Zhen, I have never been able to take that step, death will come to me in just ten years or even a few years." ”
"When I'm overdue, the Star Department will no longer have any capital to fight against the Bojin Department. So I went to Lucheng last spring and showed my obedience to Temujin. ”
Speaking of this, Xigu Sutai paused slightly, that time Lucheng and his party, under the coercion of the Bank of China, Xigu Sutai lost to Temujin in the martial arts competition, which was the biggest humiliation in his life.
Seeing that Yunzhong was still silent, Xigu Sutai let out a long sigh, took out a space bag and handed it to Yunzhong, Yunzhong took a look, and inside was a spear, a weapon of the highest grade of the heavenly rank, the star spear of Xigu Sutai.
Yun Zhong was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this mean by the old hero?"
Xigu Sutai shook his head and smiled: "I don't dare to be a hero anymore, after the martial arts competition, I am ashamed of the Star Spear, I am no longer qualified to use it, it's time to find a new owner for it." ”
Yun Zhong smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to be in the bottom." ”
Xigu Sutai waved his hand to stop Yunzhong's words: "You are enough to deserve it, but I know that your ambition is not to one country and one city, otherwise it doesn't matter if you entrust all the 80,000 households of Kexing to you." You can use this star spear first, and when it is no longer suitable for you, give it to the next hero of the Star Division, if there is no hero in the Star Department who can enter your eyes, destroy this Star Spear. ”
Yun Zhong said no more, and reached out to take the space bag containing the Star Spear.
Xigu Sutai was relieved, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I'm old, I'm not strong enough to drink, go back to sleep first, tomorrow, I won't send you, let Zamuhe go for me, Mr. Hei, there will be a period later." ”
Fancy the back of Xigu Sutai gradually walking away, Yunzhong said in a low voice that only he could hear: "Old hero, there will be no time in the future." ”
Sigu Sutai, who had lost his ambition, could never have survived this war even if he had outscored Temujin in a one-on-one battle.
