Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 214 The Aftermath of the Apocalypse
After the battle, the victorious side did not cheer, did not celebrate, and did not even see a trace of joy on the faces stained with blood and dust.
After Captain Shen counted his subordinates, he reported the battle damage to Xiang Bei, "Xuanjia guards, there are eighty-nine people left in this battle, and ten of them are seriously injured. 100 dead and 11 missing. ”
Xiang Beigang wanted to ask what was going on with the disappearance, but after thinking about it, most of the casualties of Xuanjia's guards were hand-to-hand combat in the city, and it was impossible for the corpses to be scattered in the wilderness.
"Captain Shen, you are all good, let me think about what we should do next?" Xiang Bei confessed frankly.
Before the war, Xiang Bei carefully planned every detail of the entire battle, and the battle to capture the city and Yuzhu was basically in accordance with his arrangement, but in retrospect, it was very lucky to win this battle.
If, at that time, Qin Luoyu did not kill the battle cunning leader desperately. If, the cloud thunder array does not happen to bloom in the center of the battle cunning charge. If......
There are too many "ifs" that will make Xiang Beihou afraid. However, he did what a commander-in-chief should do, and he did his best to plan and give hope to all the soldiers, and to be able to make them resolutely carry out the deployment.
Maybe he used the pill of the wolf poison flower to disguise himself as a saint pill to deceive the means of those Nanjun shield spear legions, which is indeed ruthless, but those shield and spear warriors who fought to the last person, until they died, all they saw were the confident look on Xiang Bei's face, and because of this, they were able to always have hope.
Life is always short. Rather than being at the mercy of fate and waiting to be slaughtered, it is better to give up everything and give it a go. Just like the peach fairy on Tianyin Mountain, if death is inevitable, then you must also choose the way of death, and regard this choice as the last dignity of life.
Now after the tragic victory, Xiang Bei looked at the corpses all over the ground that had stained Jade Pearl City red, and he didn't care about thinking about the meaning of life, but he fell into a daze for a while.
The first and most urgent thing at the moment is naturally to let Geng Er take the release and bring Ji Changan and Qin Luoyu into the city first.
And Captain Shen commanded the surviving subordinates to gather together the corpses that could be picked up.
In the troubled times, the deserted city is full of hunger, and the bones are in the wilderness, but it feeds a lot of these ugly vultures who like to eat carrion. These ghost birds were draped in oily black and shiny feathers, and fell to the ground more than a person tall, with bare heads and necks, as if they were born to eat internal organs, and flocks of ghost birds descended from the sky, with an eerie aura of death.
A big war left behind a mountain of corpses that would feed them for days and nights. The bloody aura made these ghost birds dance around the corpse excitedly, not at all afraid of the living people who swung their knives to drive them away.
Captain Shen, like Xiang Bei, is a practical general. He couldn't bear to look at the shield warriors who died for victory, and then be pecked by these ghost birds. He couldn't bear to let the surviving subordinates spend more effort digging pits and burying the corpses.
Captain Shen weighed it for a long time, and finally just explained simply, "Our brother's corpse was incinerated by fire." Those cunning corpses, let the ghost birds eat them. ”
......
Brought back with Ji Changan, as well as the good policy general Gan Zhenchen, who was obsessed with Xiang Bei, he didn't say a word with a gloomy face, but he couldn't stay outside the city and wait for death, so he had to follow Geng Er and Shikong in a gloomy manner.
Without the support of Xuanjia, no matter how dissatisfied Gan Zhenchen is, it will be difficult to attack, but looking at the surviving few people, he is distressed, and what worries him the most is the half of the Xuanjia Divine Talisman that Xiang Bei revealed.
Now that Xiang Bei, this kid has become famous in a battle, the group of Xuanjia troops led by Captain Shen is hard to say whether they still recognize him as a good general.
It was the middle of the moon, and the flames of burning corpses were blazing, and the bloody smell in the air was masked by the even more terrible smell of burning fat.
Even Qin Luoyu, who was unconscious, woke up from the chaos, but her body was extremely weak, and the brilliance in her eyes was also a lot darker.
"Thank you?" The three words that Xiang Bei spat out of his mouth were very light, softer than the night breeze that stirred Qin Luoyu's forehead. Jiusheng Yan Luo, who has always liked to tease Xiang Bei, is also like a beautiful girl from an ordinary family at this moment, and she doesn't even dare to stare at the young man, but she looks around and sees her situation clearly, and mutters silently, "I knew that you could do it." ”
Let Qin Luoyu sigh that what Xiang Bei has done, it is natural that he can win more with less, pull out his teeth from the mouth of the cunning tiger, snatch back Yuzhu City, and completely annihilate the cunning defenders of Yuzhu.
But this time, Xiang Bei didn't come back to his senses, and nodded, "Fortunately, I did it, and your cultivation is superb, so I can keep you from dying." ”
"Oh?" This little mistake made Qin Luoyu's heart warm, and she secretly thought to herself, could it be that in the eyes of this kid, she could be more important than Yuzhu City? But she wanted to ask, but her face couldn't help but feel hot, and a blush rose.
Xiang Bei looked at Qin Luoyu, who had always been unruly, with a different expression, thinking that it was still caused by overdrawing the spirit yuan, "Qin Luoyu, now it's just time to be the child again, I remember that you can be pure moon and take the spirit, go, I'll take you to find the purest moonlight." ”
Qin Luoyu faltered, it was impossible to go to the top of the forest to practice meridian meditation to replenish the moon spirit, Xiang Bei also ignored the eyes of others, leaned over and put the fairy on his back, the fairy actually showed a shy look in front of everyone, unable to break free from Xiang Bei's back, simply pretended to be unconscious, and buried his face in Xiang Bei's shoulder socket.
Xiang Bei had already found a good place, and climbed to the Medicine King Pagoda of a temple in Yuzhu City with Qin Luoyu on his back, the temple was originally built on a hill, and then climbed to the top of the Medicine King Tower, and the scenery of the cool moon shrouded in light veils was in full view. It's just that Xiang Bei didn't have the heart to enjoy the dreamlike scenery, and sat on the ground with his ass, panting for cold air.
At present, the situation is still urgent, Qin Luoyu no longer talks nonsense, facing the empty moon alone, dispatching the meridian meditation work, the originally fragile body, shrouded in the moonlight, slowly began to emit the glittering light around him.
However, the skin that crossed the line would eventually suffer the punishment of regression, and just as Xiang Bei was about to take a breath, Qin Luoyu suddenly trembled, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the ground in front of him.
Xiang Bei didn't have time to think about it, and rushed forward with an arrow step, catching Qin Luoyu's soft body that was slowly falling. There was no extra arrangement in the Medicine King Tower, and Xiang Bei was afraid that Qin Luoyu's fragile body would be invaded by the bitter cold qi on the ground again, so he simply wrapped his fiery fire fox scarf tightly around Qin Luoyu's white neck.
Seeing Qin Luoyu suddenly unconscious, he couldn't sit alone. Xiang Bei simply passed his left arm through the fairy's armpit, half-hugging the graceful body that made his heart beat wildly, trying to recall the meridian meditation skills taught by Qin Luoyu, facing the jade plate in the sky, the palm slid down to Qin Luoyu's back, and a white light slowly rose from the young man's flat arm, and then slowly flowed into the fairy's delicate body along the palm attached to Qin Luoyu's back.
......
The achievements of Yuzhu City in Nanjun have not yet been passed on to the five armies of Great Xia. The entire Great Xia was still in a terrible state of division.
On the forward position, even the commander-in-chief of the front line, General Chang Poyu, who can fight well, can hardly hide his pessimism in the face of the endless strength of the demon army, but in front of everyone, as the commander, he must be confident, and repeatedly emphasized, "The reinforcements of the imperial court will arrive soon." ”
And in Sheng'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is still a scene of singing and dancing. In front of those dignitaries, it seems that the border pass that I have heard is urgent, and it is just a distant and illusory nightmare.
It is inevitable that when you wake up one morning, all your worries will dissipate. In the peaceful Sheng'an City, in addition to the urgent documents lying in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the generals who are still worried about the front-line war are still worried, I am afraid that only the former Changsheng Prison Army, Huo Ping, Huo Daren.
Last time, Huo Ping dominated the fire palace in Xiangyue Tower, and became the guest of the mysterious Oiran from the Western Regions. Afterwards, Zu Yu came to Huo Ping many times, just to hear him talk about the scene of seeing Oiran that day.
But at this time, the overseer would always prevaricate, "I was drunk that day, and as soon as I entered the boudoir, I fell asleep unconsciously." ”
Such a reply will always disappoint Zu Yu, but there seems to be no other way than to complain, and in the end, Zu Yu can't help but remind him viciously,
"Lord Huo, don't blame my Zu Yu for not reminding you, in our entire Sheng'an City, there are countless dignitaries from all walks of life, but you are the only one who can enter the boudoir of the Oiran Lu Lijing. And the day after you succeeded, Miss Lu Li said goodbye to the Fire Palace and disappeared. ”
"What does that have to do with me?" Huo Ping reverted to his straight male form.
"General Huo, Lu Lijing disappeared after you entered her boudoir. How could we, the fools who follow the Oiran, let you go?"
Huo Ping was not worried about being remembered by these "love rivals", he vaguely felt that Lu Lijing, who had a mysterious background, was not simple, and he suddenly lost his mind when he entered the boudoir that day, but Huo Ping vaguely remembered that Lu Lijing had been asking him about the information about the battle in the north of Great Xia.
Huo Ping specially went to the Sheng'an garrison soldiers, these former subordinates still respected General Huo, but after hearing Huo Ping's question clearly, the garrison leader shook his head like a rattle,
"General Huo, don't hide it, our Sheng'an City has been entrusted with the emperor's blessing for so many years, and it is safe and sound. That woman who is out of the mirror, even if she has the ability, what kind of storm can she set off. ”
"Is it because General Huo is too brave and runs away from the Xiqiang girls?" The general who took over the city defense commander was also arranged by Horn to enter the city defense camp, and he was not only a relative of Horn, but also a friend of Huo Ping from childhood to adulthood, so he naturally liked to tease Huo Ping, and when he said those words, even his eyes became a little wrong.
Huo Ping didn't bother to explain, when he was walking on the streets of Sheng'an City to purify his heart, Huo Ping inexplicably came to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, he was also the supervisor of the Five Armies of Great Xia, so he could naturally enter and exit easily.
Huo Ping didn't actually know what he was looking for, but inadvertently, he found a dozen front-line urgent documents on Chang Po's desk.
Although Huo Ping didn't have the right to open and check it, he could guess what was in these documents, and he couldn't help but hear the old general's repeated explanations in the golden sands.
"Jinsha is the most important line of defense in our Great Xia, after the Lord of the Prison Army returns to the city this time, please be sure to ask the emperor to quickly send reinforcements......"
