Chapter 740: Soft-hearted
Long Chuanyun led 200 cavalry to arrive and saved the Dragon King's army, which was about to be wiped out.
He was originally ordered to carry out another mission, but on the way back to the camp, he met Han Wuxian and others, and when he heard that the Dragon King might be in danger, he immediately looked for traces of the Dragon King everywhere, and finally appeared in time at the most dangerous moment.
The two armies together were less than 500 men, barely able to block the offensive of the pursuers, but they could not get rid of the entanglement, and the old drama was staged again, and after the arrows of the 200 rescuers were shot, they would become fish and meat on the case.
The red-topped Dapeng appeared at this time, only a short time later than Long Chuyun.
A cavalryman was the first to spot the dark shadow in the sky, shouting in the Great Beiting language, and Gu Shen blew a whistle for the sky.
The Roc bird rarely kills anymore, but the whistle indicates that its closest humans are in danger.
The deserters were shocked by the large black bird that fell from the sky, but the pursuers were horrified, they had only heard of the existence of this magic bird, but it was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes.
A large number of arrows were shot into the air, and the pressure on the dragon king's troops was relieved.
Gu Shenwei let out all kinds of whistles, and the red-topped roc got the information, but he was not too close, only circled outside the range of the cavalry, flapped his wings, drove the air current, shot down the approaching arrows, occasionally dived, grabbed an enemy at a very fast speed, and flew high into the air and threw it down.
There was only one red-topped roc, and it was forced by the rain of arrows, and its lethality was greatly limited, but its appearance still greatly disturbed the army of the king.
Gu Shenwei was able to lead the remnants of the soldiers to successfully get rid of the pursuers, and it had the greatest credit.
After more than ten miles, the army of the king of Zhuwang automatically retreated, and not long after, an army of tens of thousands of people came to respond, and Gu Shenwei and his party were finally safe.
The army continued to pursue the army that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the dragon king and the others returned to the camp.
The news of the ambush of the dragon king caused a huge repercussion in the camp, and there was even a tendency to panic for a while.
Fang Wen was frightened, and almost sent troops to ask the Holy King for an explanation, and when he heard that the attack on the army was the remnants of the King of Heaven, he was even more surprised than the Dragon King, "It can't be a soldier of the Holy King pretending to be, right?"
The 10,000-strong army did not catch up with the army of the king, and brought back hundreds of corpses, and many people recognized them as the soldiers of the king, which was not false.
Liman came to see the Dragon King, and now that the army of the King is under the command of his father, he finds it hard to believe that his father will directly provoke the Dragon King regardless of his surname, "If the Dragon King still has a little trust in me, please let me go out of the camp to investigate clearly, there must be a hidden secret." ”
Gu Shenwei agreed, and after leaving Man, Fang Wen shook his head, "Dragon King, you now have more than ten cavalry armies in your hands, you are invincible in the Dragon Court, and returning to the Western Regions is also a powerful force that cannot be underestimated, there is really no need to take any more risks, and this Liman is not trustworthy, he is a member of the Naihang clan, and he is said to be the old department of the king, let him go, and his father will be even more unscrupulous." ”
"You're right, I shouldn't take any risks, as for Liman, the old ministry has declared war against the king, and it's not much use to keep him, if there is really something hidden behind it, he may be able to reduce an enemy for me. ”
"Alas, there may be too many things to do, but there is no way to make a long-term plan, and it is also a matter of uncertainty that Shulitu and Azheba are still in the camp of the close guards. The body of the old Khan has been brought back?"
"Well, and heads. "In order to attract attention to the palace with Mo Lin, Long Chuanyun led his troops to dig out the head, and now it has been properly placed, and only a few people know about it.
Fang Wen was anxious, although he was one of the very few people who could know confidential information, the Dragon King became more and more self-conscious, breaking the tacit understanding between the two, "Dragon King, I hope to hear the truth. ”
"What truth?"
"Do you want to get rid of the close guards? I think you're relenting. ”
Gu Shenwei didn't know what it was like to be soft-hearted, but he did hesitate, especially after last night's battle, the close service army showed a strength that was higher than that of ordinary soldiers, if it weren't for them, the five hundred cavalry would probably not last until dawn.
"This is Schulito's chance, and if he succeeds, he will not be just a puppet. ”
"This is also something I don't understand, what is the benefit of cultivating Shulitu into a real king?"
"In any case, I need a staunch ally in the North Court. ”
"Well, isn't there a prince of Dotun in the Western Regions? the women and friends he likes are all in the dragon king's army, and he himself is probably already in control of the Shule Kingdom, and he is the most suitable ally. ”
"Don't you think we need a backup?"
Fang Wen thought for a while, then nodded reluctantly, "Yes, but Shulitu is only twelve years old...... Alas, well, I also agree to give him a chance, but if the close servants are still obsessed......"
"It is said that the border scuffle is over, and there will be no shortage of enemies in the close army. ”
Fang Wen hoped that everything would go according to plan, but the close servants were a source of instability, which made him frightened and almost unable to sleep at night, and he had no confidence in whether Shulitu would succeed in removing the influence of the old Khan.
There are two more things, "Compete with the army of the Holy King and compete with the Central Plains people, the Dragon King has found a way to win, right?"
"Not yet, I think it will be soon. ”
Fang Wen was not particularly satisfied when he left, but he still believed in the Dragon King, especially in such a matter as martial arts, so far, the Dragon King has not lost.
Gu Shenwei also hoped that he would never lose, but this time, he was really a little vague.
Qingcheng sent Lu Mian's swordsmanship to be very strange, he refused to show his full strength, but that glimpse was enough to prove that he was a top swordsman, and the strangest thing was that Gu Shenwei felt that swordsmanship was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Gu Shenwei put this matter aside first, and called Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong, since the two teenagers returned to the barracks, he had not had an in-depth conversation with them.
Gu Shenwei first reproached Chu Nanping, "You are the tenth lieutenant of the directly subordinate army, under the command of Long Chuanyun, but you left your post without permission last night and went on an adventure with Han Wuxian." ”
Chu Nanping drank the blood of the disciples of Xiaoyue Hall to dissolve the poison in his body, and he looked a little sluggish, and before he could speak, Tie Linglong preemptively said, "I let him go." ”
"If you still want to be my bodyguard, don't give orders to anyone in the future. ”
"I didn't ......" Tie Linglong felt deeply aggrieved, only half a sentence of defense but then turned cold, "Yes, Dragon King, it won't be in the future." ”
Gu Shenwei let Tie Linglong leave, leaving Chu Nanping alone, "You have changed a lot recently. ”
"Yes, I've changed a lot. Chu Nanping repeated blankly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the Dragon King at all.
"Where's your sword?"
"It was broken, and it was broken by Han Qin of Xiaoyue Hall. ”
"It shouldn't be, I didn't expect your swordsmanship to drop so badly. ”
Chu Nanping's swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds over the years, and since he practiced Sumeru mustard divine skills, he has increased a lot, Han Qin, as a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall, is not good at martial arts, but he can break Chu Nanping's weapon, which can only show one problem: the young swordsman failed to exert his full strength.
Chu Nanping blushed and looked twisted, more like an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy than an experienced swordsman, "I didn't expect that my skills have not decreased, and even increased, but my sword is not as fast as before, and I am always distracted, and I can't concentrate." ”
Gu Shenwei's tone softened, this young man has a special identity, not only a guard and subordinates, but also a partner who has practiced swordsmanship together, sometimes like his own brother, "You have to make a choice." ”
"Choice, I can't ......" Chu Nanping understood what the Dragon King meant, his mind was on Tie Linglong, this was the fundamental reason for the sharp decline in martial arts, and he couldn't do both.
Ruthless swordsmanship is one of the martial arts of the secret of investigation, for the disciples of the proud building, grievances and hatreds are superfluous, once the heart belongs, it will greatly affect their own strength.
Sumeru mustard divine skill absorbed the few Daoless divine skills in Chu Nanping's body, and also broke the shackles of the secret of the investigation, Chu Nanping gained freedom, but lost control of the long sword.
Gu Shenwei looked at Chu Nanping, what happened to this young man was exactly the result he was most afraid of, and Sumeru mustard magic was also affecting him, he had not yet found a downward trend in martial arts, but it was indeed not as ruthless as before, in comparison, Fang Wen, who often persuaded him to give up his killer thinking, was more ruthless.
If it was in the past, he would probably have coldly made a choice on behalf of Chu Nanping, but now he feels that the young man has the right to choose for himself, "You and Tie Linglong shouldn't come back, take her away, stay away from the land of right and wrong, go to the country of incense or the Central Plains, this is the real you." ”
"The real me?" Chu Nanping seemed to be even more confused, "I don't know what reality is, I feel like I'm missing a piece, a big piece." ”
Gu Shenwei is not very good at consoling others, those words just now are already his limit, "You will get used to it slowly, in short, you have to make a choice, you can't just drag it out, it will put you and Tie Linglong in danger." ”
Chu Nanping nodded gratefully and exited the tent, Gu Shenwei had a hunch that he would lose two more trustworthy people by his side.
For him, this is a paradox, on the difficult and dangerous road, he urgently needs companions, but after giving emotion, he feels that he should not pull others on this road.
He's really not as ruthless as he used to be.
The function of Sumeru mustard god allows a person to reveal his surname, but Gu Shenwei knows very well that his true self is a pampered teenager who is less than fourteen years old, not to mention revenge, and he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself.
Old Man Mu came back, boasted of his ability to escape, and then analyzed the swordsmanship of the two Qingcheng masters together with Tugou and Mo Lin.
"Liu Qingpu's swordsmanship is good, and he deserves to be the head of a big faction. Tu Gou knows a little about the Qingcheng faction's martial arts, "Especially his fast sword, if there is no accident, I am not an opponent." ”
"In my hands, let him die ten times. Old Man Mu was very disdainful, "The sword is faster than that, and no one is the opponent of the Dragon King." ”
Mo Lin directly fought with Liu Qingpu, although he was not as sure as Old Man Mu, but his opinion was similar, "He hides his strength, but he is not the opponent of the Dragon King." ”
Speaking of Lu Mian, the three of them had a slight disagreement.
"I can't figure out his swordsmanship, it seems to be fast, and it seems to be very slow, although he only made one sword, but it was beyond my expectations, to be honest, I was not sure to defeat him, as for the Dragon King, I heard that your swordsmanship is more powerful than swordsmanship. "Mo Lin's meaning is very clear, if the Dragon King uses a knife, he is not Lu Mian's opponent.
"Lu Mian's swordsmanship is not very like Qingcheng School Kung Fu, but like an internal routine, I think his speed is not to be feared, slow is deadly. Slaughter Dog said.
Old Man Mu rarely didn't grab the words, and when the first two finished speaking, he still thought for a while, "No, this guy is actually still a fast sword, very fast, I have seen the dragon king's swordsmanship, if you haven't improved during this time, it's best not to go into battle in person." ”
Gu Shenwei suddenly remembered why Lu Mian's swordsmanship was familiar.
