In the middle forest of Xu Valley, the battlefield where Hu Yidi and Chen Shijin duel is now a mess of trees and ruins......

"How could it be...... "Xiao Su and the others arrived too late, and looking back, all they saw was Hu Yidi's cold corpse, lying in a pool of blood, surrounded by golden knives scattered all over the ground, and under the fallen wood and broken ground, one after another terrifying ravines were soaked in blood--it is hard to imagine what a terrible fight took place here......

"Why is Brother Hu here...... chased here, originally it was just to rescue Qin Yu and Murong Ying, but he would never have thought that Hu Yidi would follow him, looking at the remains under the pool of blood, Xiao Tian's eyes were distracted, and he was shocked and uneasy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Jia was even more "frightened" to be mentally impermanent-he had not yet come out of the haze of the "Mogu War", but he saw the death of his friend again, Su Jia was full of despair and pain at this time, and fell to his knees, unable to move.

"What the hell is going on here...... Looking at the blades that shattered all over the ground, the giant trees in the forest collapsed, and the blood swayed and the forest was stained, Xiao Tian was secretly worried, "Who is it...... Brother Hu has such a high level of martial arts, he can actually ......"

Su Jia was still speechless in grief, grabbing the stone on the ground with one hand, her heart was angry, her nails sank into the mud cracks in the rock, and her eyes were red and crying silently......

"Sister Su, Brother Xiao......" However, while the two were hesitating, Lu Jing's shout came from behind them - he hurried from Xilin and Tang Zhan, but he would never have thought that this was also a "desperate place" in his heart......

Knowing that Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were coming, Xiao Tian did not respond, perhaps immersed in the pain of Hu Yidi's death, Xiao Tian was unbearable at this time......

"It's ...... Brother Hu?!-" Tang Zhan looked at Hu Yidi's body, his eyes were stunned and he couldn't believe it, and he couldn't help but exclaim in despair, "Brother Qin and Sister Ying were killed, why did Brother Hu ...... too?"

"What are you talking about, Brother Qin and Sister Ying...... What's wrong with them?!-" Hearing the bad news from Qin Yu and Murong Ying, Xiao Tian glared and turned around and asked.

"They ......" Tang Zhan couldn't say it for a long time, although he knew that Xiao Tian and Su Jia already knew the truth.

"They were ambushed in Xu Valley and died in the chaos of arrows...... Lu Jing told the truth with no eyes in his eyes, looking at Hu Yidi's corpse in a pool of blood, and adding another scar to his heart.

"Even Brother Qin and Sister Ying ......" seemed to fall into hell in an instant, Xiao Tian's eyes trembled, the air was filled with blood and pain, and incomparably oppressive suffocation followed.

"Yesterday was fine, but I didn't expect the overnight separation to be ......" Tang Zhan couldn't suppress the grief in his heart, gritted his teeth and couldn't bear it.

Lu Jing was even more sad, and cried bitterly: "Sister Ying finally conceived a child, I wanted the child to be born and see the peace of the world, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect it......" Lu Jing couldn't speak anymore, covering her mouth with one hand and said with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Tian slowly turned around and looked at the fallen Hu Yidi, his mind full of heroic figures from the past......

(in recall)......

......

"Canglong Hero is really a hero, I Hu Yidi sincerely admires it, I can hand over you as a brother, and this time it is not in vain to live in Mingcheng!"

......

"Hmph, I still have to lead the spearhead of the government for you and the beggar gang, don't I? Today's assassination operation is completed, and you and I don't owe each other, and I am afraid that we will not be able to see each other for the next few days...... But to be honest, I really want to have a chance to compete with Brother Canglong, and if he is destined for the future, I hope it can be like this......"

......

"As I said, I still have to compete with you Brother Canglong, I won't stay in the 'peaceful place' of Yixian Gate...... I Hu Yidi went south to the Central Plains, just to compete with the Central Plains masters. I haven't defeated you yet, Brother Canglong, how can I just leave?"

......

"Wait, one day I, Hu Yidi, will personally capture and kill the enemy's commander, and make the first contribution in the army, and prove it to you and Miss Su, Brother Canglong!"

......

(In reality)......

Hu Yidi's heroic words before his death are still vivid in Xiao Tian's mind, and he has not completed his original intention, but now he has died on the battlefield, Xiao Tian is very sad in his eyes.

"You said that one day you will capture the enemy general...... Xiao Tian was full of sad hope, and whispered bitterly, "but you are here...... ...... here"

"Who the hell is it, who killed Brother Hu?" Tang Zhan couldn't help but ask angrily.

"Brother Hu's martial arts are world-famous, 'the first master outside the Guan' is famous in the rivers and lakes, a year ago in Juming City, I tied with him......" Xiao Tian tried to suppress the pain in his heart, and said secretly, "If you can kill Brother Hu, this murderer must be extremely martial arts, and there are few people in the world who can ...... him."

"Moreover, Brother Hu must have come with Brother Qin and Sister Ying......" Lu Jing lowered her head on the side and said casually, "The murderer is the same person - he has the power of Meng Yuan's military power and the peerless martial arts that can defeat Brother Hu......"

"Chen Shijin ......" Suddenly, Su Jia, who had not spoken for a long time on the side, whispered a word.

"Jia'er, what are you talking about?" Hearing the name of "Chen Shijin", Xiao Tian turned his head and asked in surprise.

"Mastering military power, peerless martial arts, who else can ...... him" Su Jia knelt down and lowered his head, his eyes could not hide his blood hatred under his sideburns, and said angrily, "And where the battlefield is ruin, these sword marks are all moves of the 'Wind Chasing Sword Technique'...... He can't be wrong, it's Brother Qin and Sister Ying that he killed, it's Brother Hu who he killed!-" The killing intent in his eyes suddenly rose, Su Jia suddenly raised his head, and the tears in his eyes gradually turned into blood-red murderous aura.

"Chen Shijin, won't you......" Xiao Tian couldn't believe it, but more importantly, Xiao Tian was more worried about Su Jia's emotions now.

"Among the enemy generals, Chen Shijin is indeed very likely to ......defeat Brother Hu," Lu Jing listened, and said secretly on the side, "In this way, the person who killed Brother Qin and Sister Ying is not Zhu Yuanzhang...... But it doesn't make sense -- how did Chen Shijin hand over the secret letter to our army's account? Could it be that he already knows everything about our army's intelligence, or does it mean that our army's spies planted in the enemy camp should be discovered......?" A puzzled but unsettling thought lingered in Lu Jing's heart......

"Chen Shijin, I will not forgive him...... I won't forgive him......" Su Jia's hatred rose again, as if she had returned to the "Valley of Ghosts", her hand holding the stone became tighter and tighter, and even bloodshot was scraped between her fingers, and the corners of her mouth were angry, "He betrayed his master, causing our relatives and friends to be separated, and even Sister Xiaohong died for some reason...... Now he killed Brother Hu again, killed Brother Qin and Sister Ying...... I can't forgive him...... I'm going to kill him with my own hands!—"

"Bang-" With a crisp sound, Su Jia grabbed the stone with one hand, her eyes were red again, her heart was full of killing intent and hatred, and the "demon state" on the "Valley of Ghost Strangers" was stacked again.

"Jia'er......" Xiao Tian looked anxious in his heart, but he didn't know what irrational actions Su Jia, who had already collapsed, would make......

"If it was really Chen Shijin who did it, I would definitely not let him go in the battle of Tongguan!" Tang Zhan was also excited, clenching his fists and saying angrily.

When it comes to the war, Lu Jing's heart can't help but tense - although her relatives and friends are sad to leave, Lu Jing has not forgotten the "absolute order" that Zhu Yuanzhang gave herself last night......

"Taking Tongguan within ten days, it is comparable to the difficult task of ascending to the sky......" Lu Jing was faintly worried in her heart, although she had an initial plan, it was difficult to calm down, "But Brother Qin and Brother Hu died one after another, can the crusade really succeed......"

Thinking of this, Lu Jing inexplicably took out a bag from her waist......

"I'm going to kill Chen Shijin...... I'm going to kill Chen Shijin!-" Su Jia was angry from his heart, a bloody internal force was born, his eyes were full of murderous light, regardless of the remaining pain on his body, he got up and wanted to chase revenge.

It can be seen that Su Jia's emotions are out of control again, although they are not as "demonic" as "Mogu First Battle", but they are full of hatred and resentment, and they have been hit twice by relatives, and their emotions and reason have collapsed......

"Jia'er, are you okay?" Xiao Tian looked at him from the side, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"I'm going to kill him...... I'm going to kill that bastard!-" Unable to hear anyone's shouts, Su Jia got up and stepped lightly, and rushed to the Tongguan position.

"Jia'er!-" Seeing that Su Jia's emotions were out of control, Xiao Tian wanted to chase after him, but he couldn't let go of Tang Zhan and Lu Jing.

"The blow of 'Mogu Defeat' is not over, and now I have suffered the martyrdom of my friends...... Miss Su ......" Tang Zhan watched Su Jia "collapse", and a typhoid fever suddenly felt in his heart.

Of course, Xiao Tian would not let Su Jia "let it go", he wanted to chase it, and turned back to Tang Zhan and Lu Jing: "Brother Tang Zhan, Sister Jing, just leave Jia'er to me...... If you can't come back in a short time, everything in the army will be up to you!"

After speaking, Xiao Tian turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother Xiao, wait-" However, at the critical moment, Lu Jing stopped Xiao Tian from behind.

As if there was an important instruction, Xiao Tianxia subconsciously looked back.

"Huh-" A bag flew in front of him, Xiao Tian caught it with one hand, and looked at Lu Jing with a puzzled expression.

"In the war crisis, if you encounter an accident and can't come back in a short time, this tip is my arrangement for you......" Lu Jing said solemnly, "Remember-in the next few days, no matter what situation you and Sister Su hear about our army, you don't have to speculate or be affected, you just need to do what I say in the bag!"

"Hmm......" Looking at Lu Jing's resolute gaze, Xiao Tian nodded trustingly, and then turned around and chased after Su Jia......

"Please, I'm betting everything...... Brother Xiao, Sister Su, you must not have anything to do......" Lu Jing muttered secretly in her heart, as if she had already planned a strategy......

The end of the first battle of Xu Gu was tragic, Xiao Tian chased Su Jia and disappeared, while Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and others returned to the barracks with the body of the deceased and depressed......

After the funeral was hastily completed in the barracks, it was almost dark, mourning the sadness and grief of the deceased, and the morale of the battalion was low......

"After the remains are arranged, ask someone to send the coffins of the Qin couple back to Yizhou......" The simple funeral was even more painful, Lu Jing looked at the remains of Qin Yu and Murong Ying, and said in a low voice, "Brother Qin is a hero of Yizhou, and he should be rooted in his hometown......"

"I know......" Tang Zhan muttered bitterly, not hiding the pain in his heart at all......

"Newspaper-" However, in the midst of mourning, a discordant announcement came from the camp gate.

Tang Zhan and Lu Jing retracted their expressions and turned to look at them with serious faces.

"The Emperor's Edict-" is Zhu Yuanzhang's personal edict, "The battle situation in Tongguan cannot be delayed, and the order is often met in the vanguard of the Spring Left, and there must be no mistake in sending troops to fight tomorrow!"

The pain of death here has not subsided, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to issue the order to send troops, Lu Jing saw it in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but be vigilant again.

"Take Tongguan within ten days, Zhu Yuanzhang can't wait today......" On the one hand, the pain of the deceased, and on the other hand, the tightness of the military order, Lu Jing's life was mixed in, and he was tormented......

After ordering the sergeant to leave, Lu Jing had to retract her grief and refocus on the battle situation at Tongguan.

"Jing'er, Brother Qin and Sister Ying have just left, and now the morale in the camp is low, why did the emperor let us send troops at this time?" Tang Zhan asked with confusion and concern.

Lu Jing may know the answer, but she can't say ......

"The emperor's order cannot be violated, and if you send troops tomorrow, you will send troops tomorrow......" Although it was difficult to accept, Lu Jing seemed to have expected the result a long time ago, and said with a strategy, "I already have a strategy for the first battle of Tongguan, fool, wait for me to talk to you slowly......

Returning to the account, Lu Jing told Tang Zhan everything about his plan......

Late at night, barracks stable......

After the funeral was completed, the camp was closed, and Lu Ling was responsible for arranging the cavalry work and horses, which were originally Qin Yu's tasks, but now he will leave his relatives, and all the heavy responsibilities are on Lu Ling alone.

Knowing the bad news of Qin Yu's death, Lu Ling couldn't help but be hurt, remembering the battle in Luoyang in the past, he set out on the first day, and the general of the confrontation was Qin Yu, Lu Ling couldn't help but feel sad in his heart......

"Wu Xiao, are you still busy?" Suddenly, Lu Jing's voice sounded behind him.

"Teacher?" Lu Ling still respected the teacher, and couldn't help asking, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"The emperor just sent an edict that tomorrow the main force of our army will go to Tongguan to fight the enemy...... "Lu Jing briefly recounted tonight's events, "But you also know that General Qin and General Murong ...... today."

"The morale of the soldiers under the battalion is greatly damaged, and they are afraid of using soldiers...... Lu Ling, who is well versed in the art of war, secretly responded.

"But the emperor's order cannot be violated, even if the morale of the whole army is low, we must send troops ......" Lu Jing first lamented, and then said, "The battle of Tongguan has been stalemate for several years, and it can't be delayed any longer, if you want to defeat a strong enemy, you must break it with a plan......"

"Did the teacher think of a plan?" Lu Ling, who knew Lu Jing's thoughts, couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Hmm......" Lu Jing nodded firmly, and then said solemnly to Lu Ling, "One of the keys to this plan lies in Wu Xiaoyou-now that General Qin has died in battle, General Xiao Su is unknown, there is no heavy general in the army, and all the burdens are entrusted to you, can you complete it?"

Lu Ling listened to it and said with a confident smile: "Of course, I am the teacher's apprentice, and I will definitely live up to the teacher's expectations!"

Lu Jing nodded trustingly, and then solemnly handed a bag to Lu Ling......

"All success or failure is here—this will be the most risky strategy in my life...... Lu Jing said secretly in her heart......
