Text Volume 5 Chapter 283 Asking for Help for a Hundred Miles
"Asking for help?" David was shocked when he heard that Yu Mu Laiyi.
"Not bad. Yu Mu said in a deep voice: "If you want to defend this place now, you can only ask Baili for help." Otherwise, you will have to abandon this place and flee in all directions. β
"But Baili, will he send troops to help?"
"Of course he won't, but we can force him. β
"Force him!
"It's very simple, the lord can repair a letter and tell him that if he doesn't come to help, our army will surrender the whole army to Dongzhang, so he must come. β
David thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that the strength is not enough, and the time is too late, so I'd better go there myself." β
Yu Mu was in a hurry, and immediately stopped: "My lord, you must not! As the commander of an army, how can you personally get into danger? β
David waved his hand and said, "Yu Mu, you don't have to worry. I have served under Lord Baili, and I don't know how many years I have had, and Lord Baili will not have the heart to harm me. β
"My lord, that was before. But now..."
David raised his hand to stop Yu Mu and continued: "Yu Mu, when do you think it's best for this rescue to come?"
"Of course, the sooner the better. β
David smiled slightly: "That's right." With Gu Kai to carry me, I can reach the boundary ridge in seven or eight days, and if the messenger passes, it will take half a month.
Besides, if I go in person, it is not much better to persuade Lord Baili to send troops as soon as possible than to go with a messenger. β
"But..."
"Nothing more. The army is under your control, and he will not benefit me from harming him. Now that the military situation is urgent, I will go now, and you will wait for my good news. β
After speaking, it didn't mean that Mu persuaded again, so he hurried away.
Yu Mu had no choice but to ask the charm medium to take Gu Kai's place.
In the following battles, there was nothing surprising, the Dongzhang army began to attack the mountain step by step, and Yu Mu also led the troops to defend in the middle of the rules.
Seven or eight days passed, Zuo Feng could no longer resist, Yu Mu took the initiative to withdraw the defenders, and Zuo Feng was lost.
......
"Report to the king, and David asks for an audience. β
At the same time, David also reached the Boundary Ridge.
Baili smiled coldly: "It's finally here, hehe!
David went up to the temple and saluted: "David has seen Lord Baili. β
Baili's eyes were cold, and he looked at him playfully and said, "David, I haven't seen you for a few days, have you forgotten any rules?"
David pretended to be at a loss: "Oh~!, I don't know what rules I forgot?"
"Kneel! Hmph~ And you should call me king. Baili snorted coldly.
David said indifferently: "David is no longer an adult's subordinate now, and these etiquettes are no longer suitable for me." β
Baili laughed angrily: "Hahaha... You're getting stiff wings, and you want to fly solo! You're not afraid, I'll kill you right now?"
David was not in a hurry, and said with a slight smile: "If the adults kill me, I'm afraid my subordinates will be owned by Dongzhang." β
Baili's eyes burst into light: "Hmph~ It turns out that you are using this as a hole card." So what are you doing here?"
"Negotiate a deal with an adult. β
Baili sneered: "Deal, what qualifications do you have to talk to me about any deal?" β
"Of course, now our army has occupied Dongzhang's old nest Ji Mountain, and Dongzhang is leading his troops to try to recapture it, which is a godsend and my lord. If the adults cooperate with us, the front and back will be flanked, and Dongzhang will be defeated. β
Baili looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha... It's really a good calculation. I'll send troops to help you break the siege, so what's in it for me?"
David was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Only you and Dongzhang are close in strength in this domain, except for this great enemy, this domain will be owned by you alone." On the contrary, if our army cannot hold on, we can only take refuge in Dongzhang. Dongzhang's strength is already better than yours, and our army is similar, where will the adults go in the future?"
"Hmph~ Get rid of Dongzhang, what about you? Aren't you afraid that I will destroy you next, where will you go?" asked Baili rhetorically.
David calmly replied, "Don't hide it, you know, we've made preparations. If we can escape this catastrophe, our army will march eastward to take refuge with Lord Sheng Tong. β
Baili's eyes flickered, and he spoke after a while: "It's not impossible to cooperate." But in case you don't keep your promise, I'm going to put a secret method on you. If you keep your promise, I will lift you, and if you still occupy Jishan after defeating Dongzhang, I will let you live better than die. β
"Thisβ" David hesitated.
Baili didn't give him a chance to think more: "Hmph~ If you don't accept this condition, I will never send troops." Even if your army surrenders to Dongzhang, I am not afraid.
You don't know? Your intrusion has caused Dongzhang to suffer heavy losses, and most of your soldiers and horses are also from his subordinates. Even if you wait for submission, his strength will not increase much, so your department must give up Jishan. β
If his life is pinched in his hands, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as wanting Jishan. β
But David thought about it, and there was no other way. Now that the military situation is urgent, there is no time to delay, so I have to decide to agree to him for the time being. Wait until Dongzhang is destroyed, and then think of a way to remove the secret method.
So he reluctantly said: "Okay! In that case, please finish the secret method and send troops quickly." β
A flash of joy flashed in Baili's eyes: "Okay~ You come up, I will send troops immediately after I finish the secret method." β
David stepped forward as he said, but saw Baili spewing a breath of dark green at him.
The fog was shrouded, but he didn't notice that David's face had changed drastically, and a glimmer of light appeared and disappeared in his eyes.
"Alright!" After casting the spell, Baili showed a hideous face: "David, I warn you, this secret method is the only one in the world that I can lift." If you don't understand this method, you will be tortured and die of pain after a month.
So, don't think about anything, be obedient, and I'll spare your life. Go first, and I'll send my troops at once. β
"Okay~" David turned around, and there was a look of determination in his eyes.
David returned, and the right peak was on the offensive. The Dongzhang army is fast attacking to the middle of the mountain, and the right peak form is already in danger.
David returned to the camp on the mountain, but found all his generals gathered there.
It turned out that Yu Mu was already preparing to withdraw his troops from Youfeng, so now it was Chun Shen and Du Wan who were in command of the battle, and the others were here to prepare to respond.
"Your Excellency, you are back, can this trip go well? When David returned, the crowd came forward to greet him.
David's face was gloomy, and he raised his hand and waved: "You all go out, I have something to talk to Yu Mu alone." β
"Yes!" everyone didn't know why, even Gu Kai, who returned with him, didn't know what had happened, but he could only be ordered to withdraw from the camp.
As soon as Yu Mu heard David's demeanor, his heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, are you reluctant to send troops for that hundred miles?"
David shook his head gloomily and said, "That's not it." β
"Why is that adult's expression so solemn?" Yu Mu felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
David sighed heavily, and seemed to have made a crucial decision: "Alas~ Yu Mu, I beg you for one thing. β
Yu Mu immediately said: "If the adults have something to command, why not ask for it." β
David glanced up at him, and then said slowly: "Yu Mu, I beg you not to unite with Baili, and find a way to eradicate it." β
When Yu Mu saw David's face full of grief and indignation, his heart suddenly moved, and he said urgently: "What means did Baili use against adults?"
David nodded silently.
"Shameless~" Yu Mu was furious.
David patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "It's a trivial matter to use means against me, and I did it on my own initiative. However, it was not because of this that the decision was made. β
"Ahh
"It's because I've fallen for a secret method called corpse poison. β
"Is it incurable?"
"It doesn't matter if you can save it. David shook his head silently.
"Ahh
David's eyes suddenly burst into anger, and he said in a deep voice: "This corpse poison is the secret method given by Lord Sheng Tong back then. β
"Sheng Tong's gift, you mean to give Master Robert the secret method! That is to say..."Yu Mu's eyes gradually widened.
David nodded, and said hatefully, "Yes, if he doesn't do it, I don't know that Lord Robert was killed by him." β
Yu Mu couldn't help but say suspiciously: "How could he expose this secret in front of you?
"Hmph~" David snorted coldly: "The old thief doesn't know that when Lord Robert was dying, I was the only one by my side." Not only did the Lord tell me the secret of the corpse poison, but he also passed on the rest of his cultivation and abilities to me. I just evolved from a little ghost to a vampire. β
Yu Mu asked again: "Could it be that Lord Robert, I don't know that Baili harmed him at the beginning?"
"Alas~" David sighed: "At the beginning, Lord Robert was plotted by Dongzhang first, which hurt his sense of vision, and was attacked by thieves from behind, where do you know who did it."
At that time, I was just a miscellaneous soldier next to the adults, and I was responsible for serving the adults. By the time I found out that the adult had been killed, the thief had long since disappeared, and he was also lost along with the corpse poison secret method. Baili is the righteous son of an adult, who would think of him. β
Yu Mu smiled coldly and said, "I'm afraid Lord Robert has already guessed that it's him." β
David was shocked: "Ah! how is this possible?"
"Hmph~ It's very simple, why didn't the adults pass on the cultivation ability to Baili at the beginning, but passed it on to you, the orderly. Still don't understand?"
"Ah~!Damn, I didn't think of that. David suddenly realized and blamed himself: "I'm really stupid, I have failed the adults for a long time." Not only did he not understand the adult's wishes, but he also served his killer for so many years. I'm sorry Mr. Robert!"
Yu Mu persuaded: "Adults don't have to be like this, I'm just guessing." β
But David was resolute: "You don't have to persuade me, it will be so." Adults are kind to me and reinvent, and I swear to die never to be with the old thieves of a hundred miles again. β
"Yu Mu. David said solemnly: "The two of us fought all the way and worked hard to build this army, after I die, you don't let him fall into the hands of Baili no matter what." β
Yu Mu hurriedly said: "My lord, how can you die, it's just a corpse poison..."
