A low horn sound came from a distance, and the grassland master who heard this sound was stunned, and his eyes were a little unconvinced, but he still stopped thinking about continuing to shoot.

Because he knew what that horn sound meant just now, just like Da Chu's Ming Jin to collect his troops, when this kind of horn sound sounded in the grassland, it meant that they were going to retreat.

The grassland cavalry, which was originally inseparable from the cavalry led by Chu Tianxiong, began to shrink its formation, and then began to retreat in the direction of Wanyan Xiuzhi in a group, and hundreds of wolf riders also stared at the sixth uncle and Jiang Ergou and began to retreat step by step.

The quasi-first-grade master of the grassland hesitated a few times, but he still chose to retreat with the large army, because without the assistance of the wolf horse, let him face the first-grade sword cultivator alone, he would definitely be dead and alive.

Seeing that they were rescued, the Great Chu cavalry was not too happy, and the experience of many years of mixed battlefields told them that their situation was not safe until they returned to Tianshan Pass!

However, they did not disregard those steppe cavalry because of one more first-class master, and now the people who are still the grassland have the upper hand on the surface, and the grassland cavalry has at least more than 1,400 horsemen, while they only have six or seven hundred remaining horsemen.

However, with a thousand and five cavalry against two thousand cavalry, this battle is already quite difficult for Da Chu, and if they are still delusional and greedy, they may drag that first-grade sword cultivator into the water.

Before all the cavalry and wolf horses returned to the cage, the quasi-first-grade master had already returned to Wanyan Xiuzhi's side first, his expression was a little incomprehensible, but he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Wanyan Xiuzhi, so he could only endure his anger and ask respectfully.

"General, our troops are still sufficient, hundreds of wolf cavalry plus those ordinary cavalry can still maintain about two thousand people, we are completely sure that we will eat it together with the Yipin sword cultivator who suddenly appeared, and if we give up now, not to mention the ordinary cavalry for the time being, the nearly four hundred wolf cavalry killed by the old man of Da Chu will be sacrificed in vain. ”

Wanyan Xiuzhi did not turn his head to look at his close-fitting master, but looked at the majestic sword cultivator without blinking.

"When will I need your guidance to do things. ”

As a quasi-first-class master, he was shocked into a cold sweat at this time, and he was angry just now, he actually dared to question his master.

Reaching out and wiping his forehead, he immediately restrained his emotions and bowed his head respectfully.

The villain didn't dare, but he felt that it was a pity that he had lost the upcoming results in vain. ”

For Wanyan Xiuzhi, a son who was born in a big family and a big tribe, the way of the emperor is very familiar from birth, and Wanyan Xiuzhi himself is not a stupid person, so at this time, of course he knows how to handle this quasi-first-class master.

I saw him slowly help Tiemuying up, and then spoke to comfort him.

"I know that Tiemu is dedicated to finishing the Yan family for me, but at this time, the battle has been close to four hours, and Xiao Shanyu in Tianshan Pass should know even if he is unresponsive, so if we don't leave, we won't be able to leave behind!"

Tiemuying only cared about the current battle situation, and he would consider that Xiao Shanyu was sitting in the Tianshan Pass, which was less than a hundred miles away, and at this time, he suddenly reacted when he heard Yan Xiuzhi mention it.

"The subordinates are stupid, but the general is thoughtful. Merely... It's just that if we leave now, we will lose this battle again. ”

Wan Yan Xiuzhi's face remained unchanged, and he was calm to the extreme.

"Two first-class masters! This loss is not a loss, it is just that our own net is not strong enough. ”

"Alas. ”

Tiemuying sighed, feeling helpless, but at this time, he could only look at that Great Chu first-grade master and that first-grade sword cultivator helplessly.

At this time, the conversation between the two was going on, and a total of 2,000 horsemen, including the wolf riders and ordinary cavalry, had already returned to Wanyan Xiuzhi's side.

Someone pulled out two BMWs from behind the dirt bag, Wanyan Xiuzhi and Tiemuying turned over on the horse at the same time, and the people on the Da Chu side also saw the mastermind behind the grassland for this operation for the first time, but what they didn't expect was that this person was born so young!

Under everyone's gaze, Wan Yan Xiuzhi said gracefully.

"Jiang Fuyu, I remember you, don't come to the grassland to wander around if you have nothing to do in the future, otherwise I will definitely let you walk around without eating!"

There was no hiding when Jiang Ergou came from the house before, so it was not a big deal for Wanyan Xiuzhi to know his name at this time.

After finishing speaking, Wanyan Xiuzhi quietly turned around, rode down the earthen bag, and the two thousand horsemen behind him followed neatly, even after the war, there was no confusion.

Watching those steppe cavalry leave, everyone in Da Chu did not shout for victory, but looked at the corpses covered in robes and couldn't speak, and in the morning they said that they would come out in this battle to get some battle merits and go back to have a good drink, but at this time, half of them turned into dry bones.

This is not to say that Da Chu's soldiers are very hypocritical, it's just... At this moment, no matter how tenacious and tenacious they are, there will still be some sadness, not only for them, but also for the steppe cavalry.

Although they have retreated now, when Da Chu finishes collecting the corpse of Paoze, they will also send people back, and they will not watch their own people abandon the corpses in the wilderness.

Over the years, some conventional rules have been quietly formed between Da Chu and the grassland, such as the deceased is the greatest, and the remains of those who died in battle must not be insulted.

It's just that the victor of the battle can take the lead in collecting the bones of his comrades, and the loser will leave the field until the winner leaves, and he can not come back to take away the remains of his dead brother until the victor leaves, and it is not allowed to send troops to sneak attack during this period, which is true for the grassland and for Da Chu!

After the grassland cavalry completely withdrew under the leadership of Wan Yan Xiuzhi, the sixth uncle got up from the ground holding his chest and slowly walked to Jiang Ergou's side.

"This Jiang Shaoxia is good at martial arts, and he is already a first-class master at a young age, but with Jiang Shaoxia's talent, he should have a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, but why has he never heard of Jiang Shaoxia's name?"

Jiang Ergou took back the bronze finch sword and replied.

"My predecessors don't know, I have been practicing swords with my master in the mountains since I was a child, and I have almost never appeared in the rivers and lakes, so it is normal for my predecessors not to hear of my name. ”

The sixth uncle, who had some gray hair, was immediately stunned, but at this moment, he was even more amazed at what kind of master could cultivate such a young first-class master.

"Forgive the old man for being lonely and unheard, as far as I know, the most powerful sword cultivator in the territory of Great Chu should be Lin Cangsheng of the Sword Sect, but I remember that his eldest disciple is a kid named Wu Feng, and he has not yet reached the realm of Jiang Shaoxia, I don't know, Jiang Shaoxia is the disciple of the famous Jianghu master. ”

Jiang Ergou suddenly laughed, but this smile looked a little bitter.

"Senior, my master should belong to the same generation as you, but he has always been used to idle clouds and wild cranes, so my master's name doesn't need to be mentioned, not to mention that he is no longer alive. ”

The sixth uncle was a little stunned, stunned and speechless on the spot, and in order to alleviate this atmosphere, Jiang Ergou took the initiative to ask.

"I don't know the honorific name of my predecessor. ”

The sixth uncle came back to his senses and looked very embarrassed.

"Jiang Shaoxia, I'm sorry to mention your sadness, I have forgotten my common name, if Jiang Shaoxia doesn't dislike it, just call me Huang Lao Liu. ”

Jiang Ergou nodded indifferently at first, and then said with a fist.

"Then I'll call you an old man, Senior Huang. ”

The sixth uncle smiled and waved his hand, and hurriedly said that he didn't dare to be, but the smile on his face looked so bright.

Just when Jiang Ergou was talking to the sixth uncle, Chu Tianxiong, who had already dealt with the affairs of his subordinates, also came over, Jiang Ergou looked at his face a little familiar, but he couldn't remember that they had seen it there. However, if he could think about Chu Wushuang's appearance at this time, he would be able to know why he was so familiar.

But Chu Tianxiong would not say that he was the second prince as soon as he came up, and Jiang Ergou would not open his mouth and say that the prince is my brother, so these two people didn't know that they still had some origins.

"This young man, I am a general of Tianshan Pass, if it weren't for the young man's help today, we people are afraid that we will die without a body. ”

"The general is polite, no matter how I say it, I am also a Da Chu person, and it is natural for Lu to draw a sword to help when he sees injustice. ”

Chu Tianxiong nodded slightly, but his expression looked a little emotional.

"If those first-grade masters of Da Chu can think like Shaoxia, the border war will not be so difficult to fight, you must know that a first-grade master is enough to be worth one to two thousand iron horses!"

Jiang Ergou didn't think what he said was wrong, but he didn't think what he said was right, Jiang Ergou didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't open his mouth in the end.

Just when there was a treacherous atmosphere between the three of them, a horse came running from a distance, and when he got closer, it was not He Huaichun who was thrown halfway by Jiang Ergou!

"The surname Jiang, you are too uninteresting, you don't wait for me to leave, if I get lost, I want to know that he paid for you. ”

The sixth uncle saw through the strength of He Huaichun at a glance, although he was not as good as the boy who was against the sky in his eyes, but he was also talented and intelligent, as long as he cultivated well in the future, he would not have a chance to enter the first grade.

Seeing the strength of these two people clearly, the sixth uncle suddenly had the heart to win over, especially Jiang Ergou is such a young first-grade sword cultivator, as long as he is there, the Chu dynasty in ten years will be equivalent to having one more hole card!

"I don't know what Jiang Shaoxia and this little brother plan to do next, whether they choose to continue to travel on the grassland, or prepare to return to Dachu. ”

He Huaichun, a kid, likes to deal with strangers the most, so after the sixth uncle finished speaking, he immediately took over the conversation.

"This old-timer, let's not hide it, we are going back now, and we are preparing to go along the Tianshan Pass to Lantian Pass, and from there we will enter the pass and return to Dachu. ”

The sixth uncle nodded, feeling a little more grasped in his heart.

"Then I don't know what the two of you plan to do after you go back? I can't hide that I see two strong martial arts, and I want to introduce them to the court to do things, with the talents of the two, it will not be difficult to find the king and the marquis in the future. ”

Jiang Ergou was afraid that this kid Hehuaichun would say something earth-shattering, so he immediately rushed to say it.

"We appreciate the kindness of our predecessors, but the two of us are used to being at ease, and when we enter the official mansion, not only the court does not care about us, but we ourselves are not there, so we still don't cause trouble to our predecessors. ”

The sixth uncle still didn't give up, so he continued.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about freedom at all, the imperial court is very lenient with masters like you, not so much to let you join the imperial court, but rather to say that the imperial court is worshipping you, as long as you can stand up when the life and death of Great Chu is at stake. ”

Jiang Ergou hadn't opened his mouth to refuse, but Chu Tianxiong stood up and said it for them.

"Sixth uncle, the two of them will not be restrained by others at first glance, so they will not join the imperial court, instead of working hard with each other, we might as well make friends with them seriously. ”

The sixth uncle laughed after hearing this, and said to Jiang Ergou and the two.

"It's old and abrupt, please don't be surprised. ”

After smiling and waving his hand, the sixth uncle turned around and went to the battlefield to prepare for the battlefield, although he was Chu Tianxiong's personal guard, but in the days of the grassland, he was already familiar with this kind of car, after all, Chu Tianxiong was not used to staying in the pass, and he liked to run to the grassland with his soldiers when he had nothing to do.

Looking at the many soldiers who were collecting the bones, Jiang Ergou suddenly understood what kind of mood Tian Rongguan was in when he mentioned his father, looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Ergou couldn't help but ask.

"On the border, there are many wars like this!"

"Not much. ”

Chu Tianxiong is also very emotional, over the years, the soldiers around him have changed many batches, the old ones have died, and the new ones have come, but he always thinks that they all died well, because it is precisely because of their existence that there is the prosperity of Great Chu today.

Retracting his thoughts, Chu Tianxiong continued.

"In fact, there has not been a large-scale battle like this on the border for nearly two years, and those small-scale contact battles could not have been avoided in the past, and last year alone, 7,652 soldiers were killed on the border of Liaodong. ”

Hearing this shocking figure, not only Jiang Ergou was dumbfounded, but even He Huaichun's eyes widened, his home was in Liaozhou, but he didn't know that so many people would die every year at his doorstep! It was only then that he knew that the stability and peace in their territory in Liaozhou were exchanged for their lives by these border soldiers.

Jiang Ergou was silent for a while, because he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how long it had been before he sighed.

"It would be nice if one day there would be no more dead people on the border!"

Chu Tianxiong clenched his fists when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to say a word, but he didn't know if he said it to Ergou or to himself.

"There will come a day!"
