Chapter XVIII: Tragedy and Diversion

was fighting fiercely with Lin Xing by the river, a little difficult to parry, Li Kang, who always paid attention to Zhang Yi's movements, saw Zhang Yi die, and couldn't help but retreat.

Lin Xing sensed the changes in Li Kang's body, and couldn't help but say angrily: "If you dare to be distracted when you fight with this general, the thief should die." Ben Thunder Sword, give me death. ”

Li Kang was startled by Lin Xing's sudden surge of fierce killing machine, and while trying his best to block, he retreated, trying to take the opportunity to escape.

However, Lin Xing pressed forward step by step, vowing to cut him under the sword.

Li Kang, who wanted to get out but couldn't, couldn't help but be evil and guts, his true anger was agitated, and he waved his long sword, showing a desperate appearance.

Lin Xing was not angry but happy, responded calmly, and took the opportunity to consume Li Kang's true qi.

Just wait for Li Kang's true qi to run out, and he can easily send him to see the king of Hades.

Wen Feng, who noticed from a distance that the battle situation on Lin Xing's side was in a stalemate, didn't care about the injured embassy guards on the ground, and rushed straight over, intending to settle the battle as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble.

When Li Kang saw Wen Feng coming, he suddenly felt a big death, and he cried out in his heart, and he had an unprecedentedly strong desire to escape.

In a hurry, in the face of Lin Xing's long sword stabbed at his shoulder, Li Kang did not dodge or dodge, and swung his sword to slash at Lin Xing's arm, apparently wanting to exchange a sword for a sword.

Lin Xing's long sword had just pierced into three points, and in order to save his arm, he had to take two steps back and block with a horizontal sword.

Li Kang was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly retreated, stepping on the frozen river, and running away to the east.

"Don't want to escape. ”

Lin Xing shouted angrily and chased after him.

Wen Feng shouted from afar: "General Lin, don't chase after the poor, it is important to protect the prince of the grassland." ”

Lin Xing gritted his teeth when he heard this, and watched Li Kang's back disappear in front of his eyes with hatred.

Wen Feng took a few steps closer and persuaded calmly: "Don't look at it, go back and clean up the situation and go south again." ”

Lin Xing took a deep breath, pressed down the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart, and walked in the direction of the carriage without saying a word.

When he approached the carriage and saw a group of guards lying on the ground who were either dead or wounded, he felt a wave of anger in his heart for no reason.

This anger was not directed at the interceptor, but at Wen Feng's dissatisfaction.

The others didn't know, but he knew that Wen Feng was a half-step Divine Mind Realm martial artist.

In the interception just now, Wen Feng only needed to strike early, and the envoy guards would not have suffered such heavy losses.

Before the battle, there were twenty-three remaining members of the Mission's escort, seven of whom were lightly wounded and sixteen intact.

After the battle, two people were killed on the spot, four had their sternums shattered and were severely injured, eight were seriously injured and their bones were broken, and nine were slightly injured and vomited blood.

Except for the scouts who did not participate in the battle, they were still intact, and everyone in the convoy was wounded, which was extremely tragic.

If the four people who were badly injured were in Chang'an, they would spend money to hire a famous doctor to diagnose, prescribe the right medicine, arrange someone to take care of them for half a year, recuperate, and maybe have hope of returning to normal.

However, at this moment in this wilderness, where to find a doctor, where to find medicine, and where to slowly recover?

I'm afraid these four people won't survive.

Lin Xing looked at the four people who were lying there with a look of pain on their faces, and their eyes were full of eagerness, and they closed their eyes at a lightly injured person and ordered, "Send the brothers a ride." ”

The lightly injured gritted his teeth and drew a dagger, stabbing them hard into the hearts of the four who were seriously injured.

A look of relief appeared on the faces of the four people, and the dilated pupils gradually closed.

"There is only one thief, why didn't Lord Wen do it in advance?"

Lin Xing was upset, walked up to Wen Feng, and asked unceremoniously.

He had to ask about this matter clearly, Wen Feng could sit back and watch these embassy guards die today, and he would be able to block the knife with him one day.

No one wants to leave their backs to someone who betrays their teammates.

It's a long way to Chang'an, and he wants to go back alive.

Wen Feng changed color when he heard this, and looked at Lin Xing with a slight frown: "Are you questioning this official?"

Lin Xing said with a cold expression: "It's not that I want to question Lord Wen, but the dead and injured brothers need an explanation." ”

"If there are many enemies who come to attack, or if they can defeat them desperately, even if they are all destroyed, the general will not have half an opinion. ”

"But there is only one thief, the strength of the martial arts is unmatched by adults, even if they fight for their lives, it will be useless, why don't adults take action in advance, but let them die for no reason?"

Wen Feng swept over the suspicious faces, forcibly endured the displeasure in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "General Lin has only seen one person, but can you guarantee that there is only one person?"

"Right now, although you and I have won this battle, can you make sure that the pursuer has no backhand, and send someone to hide in the shadows, just waiting for you and me to show their weakness and make a lore?"

"In this battle, my Great Xia warriors suffered heavy losses, isn't this official distressed? Isn't it to kill the thief at the smallest cost?"

"If this official makes a move at the beginning, then the thief with the gun is on guard, can he be easily ambushed?

Lin Xing didn't agree with this: "That's just an adult's speculation, and if you gamble with the lives of your brothers based on speculation alone, you will not accept it." ”

Wen Feng's face sank when he heard this, his dark eyes looked at Lin Xing, his anger was hidden, and he said indifferently: "The reason for the beginning and the end is very clear, General Lin can disagree, but don't forget, this official is the right envoy, and the grade is above you." ”

"At such a critical moment, General Lin has to continue to ask questions until your dissatisfaction has accumulated to the extreme, and you can't fight against this official?"

"Let's stop here, deal with the aftermath of the soldiers, let them who are unfortunate enough to be martyred be buried in the ground, rest for a while and continue to set off. ”

In all fairness, Pei Zheng thought that Wen Feng was right to paralyze the enemy with the death of the embassy guard, and to kill with one blow.

At critical moments, someone must sacrifice.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the person who sacrificed is not himself.

If Pei was one of the guards of the mission, he would have greeted Old Man Wen's family in his heart.

The saints of the South China Sea per capita do not accept the war.

Lin Xing took a deep breath, Wen Feng was right, now is not the time to hold on, and it is not good for anyone to continue the infighting, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction in his heart and waited until he returned to Chang'an.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have other opinions.

Now that the situation is critical, only these wounded soldiers and remnants are left, Master Wen doesn't even take the slightest move, just forcibly goes on the road, I'm afraid that he will be swallowed up in less than three days, and neither you nor I can escape death. ”

Wen Feng looked extremely indifferent and said: "You and I are deeply favored by the emperor, shouldn't we serve the court with death?"

Lin Xing sneered: "Of course you should repay the court with death, but you shouldn't die stupidly." ”

Wen Feng looked at Lin Xing coldly: "Could it be that General Lin has a better suggestion?"

Lin Xing said stiffly: "If there is a better suggestion, I will only know after discussion." ”

Wen Feng chuckled and said: "There are only you and me who can call the shots here, you can just say what you think, why beat around the bush?"

Lin Xing said disapprerovantly: "Although it is only you and me who call the shots, it doesn't mean that others can't make suggestions." ”

Wen Feng swept past the mournful embassy guards, his tone full of suspicion: "They?"

Lin Xing pointed to Pei Zheng, who hid most of his body behind the horse and tried his best to reduce his sense of presence: "To be precise, he is." ”

"After five years of fighting on the battlefield, he is still an extremely dangerous scout, and Lord Wen never thought that he might have good advice?"

"Pei Zheng, don't hide, you kid, hurry up. ”

Pei Zheng rolled his eyes, he used to call people Brother Pei, but now he calls you kid, heh, man.

But listening to Lin Xing's tone, it seems that the time has come for him to show his skills.

Pei Zheng showed a smiling face and trotted all the way over: "What does the general command?"

Lin Xing said with a serious face: "Ben Jiang didn't give an order, Ben Jiang just asked you, do you want to live or die?"

Pei Zheng said with a sneering expression: "What the general said, who wants to die if he can live." ”

After all, there are only a few who are sick.

After Lin Xing got a clear answer, he didn't bother to care about the disrespect in Pei Zheng's words, and continued to ask: "You have also seen what the current situation is, how do you think we can return to Chang'an smoothly?"

hacked the prince of the steppe to death in public, and walked back with a swagger.

Pei Zheng had no doubt that if he dared to say this, he would be hacked to death by Lin Xing in minutes.

So he said with a straight face: "After several ambushes, the lowly government has concluded that our southbound route is under the control of the enemy, so the lowly official believes that it is imperative to change the route. ”

"At present, only by changing the existing route, throwing away the carriage, and speeding up to the south, can it be possible to escape with the prince of the grassland. ”

Wen Feng couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, what kind of suggestion is this? In vain Lin Xing has such great hopes for this scout, but the other party's pattern is too small, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

Lin Xing felt that what Pei Zheng said made some sense, and asked with a serious face, "Are you sure?"
