Chapter 19: Secret Letters
It's night!
In the vast starry sky, the bright crescent moon hangs high, and the cold stars are a few points.
At the back of the barracks, under the bright moonlight, a figure holding a big knife in his hand, practicing his moves hard, there was always a low muffled sound, deep footprints, imprinted on the red sand.
More than ten days have passed in a flash, and Lu Yan's injuries have almost cleared. The red vitality in the dantian has increased again, and he can clearly feel that his will is a lot tougher, and the activity of the cells has been significantly improved, otherwise the injury will never be so fast.
In the past half a month, Zhao Yunfei launched four large-scale attacks one after another, and the Qi army retreated again and again. But there was no joy on his face, but his brows were tightly knit, as if he had encountered something that he couldn't figure out.
When the first touch of fish white was revealed in the east, Lu Yan's ghost head knife was put into the sheath, and he returned to the camp tent and changed into a cold steel armor. Today it was his turn to be on duty with Lao Hei, and when the two of them came to the tent, the day's drill began, and several of them came one after another without taking off their armor.
"Report!"
Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance, and a soldier was lying on his horse, covered in blood, and his helmet was lost somewhere. With his messy long hair scattered, he rushed straight towards the handsome tent, and Lu Yan and Lao Hei hurriedly helped him into the tent!
"General...... We were ambushed, and the whole army ...... Extinction...... Zhang Dutong...... Martyrdom...... The messenger ...... intermittently said this, then shrugged his head and stopped breathing.
"Zhang Zhen!" Zhao Yunfei put down the "Holy Scripture", slowly stood up, his hands tied behind his back, and the powerful momentum surged out, everyone only felt as if they were in the angry waves, and there was a possibility of sinking at any time!
Within 100 meters of the tent, a sudden gust of wind formed and rolled up reddish-brown sand. All the horses fell to their knees and neighed in low voices, and even the black horse king looked terrified.
Zhao Yunfei first looked coldly in the direction of the Qi army, then looked at the Han King City with anger and sadness, and finally looked at the imperial capital of the Dongming Empire in a complicated manner, and slowly reined in his momentum.
Lu Yan and Lao Hei were the two weakest cultivators in the camp, and at this moment they were pale, prostration, and the clothes behind them were soaked with sweat.
Zhao Yunfei slapped two palms at the two of them like lightning, and the two basin-sized five-color vitality palms quickly drilled into the two of them. Lu Yan only felt that his breathing instantly became smooth, and he had inexhaustible strength in his body, and even the vitality in the dantian had increased a lot, which was worth more than a month of penance.
"Pass the order! The whole army retreats for ten miles!" Zhao Yunfei nodded to Lu Yan and the others, and ordered, "You two carry him down and bury him!"
Lu Yan and Lao Hei were ordered to retreat.
The faces of everyone in the handsome tent were not very good-looking, Zhu Xiaoming stood up angrily, and said sadly and angrily: "General! Zhang Zhen led his troops to attack this time, not many people know about it, how can there be an ambush in the Qi army, there must be someone in the army ......"
He has an excellent relationship with Zhang Zhen and has been together since he first joined the army. At the beginning, Zhang Zhenyan didn't know the words, so he called Xiao Ming a small intestine, and finally felt that the small intestine was not as fragrant as the pig's large intestine, so the name Zhu large intestine was called!
But no one thought that this arrogant comrade-in-arms and brother would die for the country
"No!"
Before Zhu Xiaoming finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Yunfei's composure and shaking his head, "Things are not as simple as they seem, I have my own decision, and several of them will quickly order the withdrawal of the army!"
"Whew!" the seven looked at each other and retreated.
Looking at Nuoda's tent, Zhao Yunfei stroked the golden chain mail, and sighed softly: "Dongming Empire, high merit and master"
The retreat of the Han army was orderly, and the Qi army did not take the opportunity to pursue, and as soon as the army was stationed, a voice was heard from far and near: "I heard that General Zhao was scared, and I, Li Xiaoran, came to meet him...... Hahahaha......"
In the handsome tent, Zhao Yunfei heard these prickly words, smiled lightly without care, and continued to study the art of war.
But the other soldiers stopped doing it, and they didn't take Li Xiaoran, the general, in their eyes at all, and the scolding and cursing rang out.
Li Xiaoran, who had just walked to the door of the tent, snorted coldly, glanced at the soldiers around him, and was about to step into the tent. Lao Hei suddenly stretched out his big axe and said loudly: "Where did the thief come from, is it an enemy spy, if you want to assassinate the general, hurry up and arrest it, maybe I will spare your dog's life!"
Seeing that Lao Hei dared to treat Li Xiaoran like this, Lu Yan secretly said that it was bad. He has also heard of this person, who is a general at the same level as Zhao Yunfei, and usually has deep contradictions due to political disagreements. And he is also the king of the Grandmaster Realm, and if he is angry, he is simply looking for death.
"Huh!" didn't have time to think about it, Lu Yan quickly pulled out the ghost head knife, stood beside Lao Hei, and advanced and retreated with him without hesitation, after all, we are also men in the army, and we can't be ashamed if we lose our lives, besides, there is General Zhao in charge, and I will definitely not ignore it.
Li Xiaoran was in an extremely unhappy mood at the moment, this time he went out to work, and it happened to be not far from the battlefield. I heard that Zhao Yunfei suffered a big loss, so he came here and wanted to humiliate him, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to scold himself in front of him like this, and he was not even a small character who was a self-cultivator. What annoyed him the most was that they didn't know whether they were drawing their swords to each other, and they were desperate.
Really!
Li Xiaoran laughed angrily, this kind of garbage cultivation on weekdays, he is too lazy to take a look, today he actually broke ground on Tai Sui's head, if he doesn't kill you, how can he save face!
A huge momentum gushed out from him, crashing into Lu Yan and the others like a stormy wave, and several of them who had already heard the news wanted to rescue, but they couldn't do it.
Seeing that the two talented young men were about to die on the spot, the bearded man roared angrily! Lu Yan also let out a clear roar, and his fierce will struggled to resist, wanting to get rid of the shackles of Li Xiaoran's momentum, Lao Hei's eyes were red, and he instantly entered that violent state.
However, the gap between the Qi Storage Stage cultivators and the Grandmaster Realm Kings was too big, and even if they went all out, it would be difficult to break free!
"Whew!"
At this moment, the change was abrupt, and Lu Yan only felt that the pressure had suddenly receded, and the stuffiness in his chest was swept away. Li Xiaoran took two big steps back, his face was shocked, and just when he didn't know why, a cold voice came!
"My soldiers, no one can move!" Zhao Yunfei walked out of the tent.
"Hmph, what Zhao Jiajun, I don't understand the rules at all!" Li Xiaoran said with an unkind face.
"Rules?" Zhao Yunfei said lightly, "I can't talk to you about the rules, my Zhao Jiajun is all iron-blooded good men, I just want to have a clear conscience!"
"Iron-blooded man!haha...... is really famous for protecting your shortcomings, Zhao Yunfei will see how you can win this battle!" Li Xiaoran seemed to know some inside stories, and said viciously, "Wait for you to die in battle, protect your ghost soldiers!" After saying this, Li Xiaoran turned his head and left, he couldn't stay in this place for a second!
"Don't send it!" Zhao Yunfei stroked his three-inch green beard in his hand, then nodded to Lu Yan and the others, and continued, "All seven are here!"
At the same time, Qi ** camp.
Qi Fang is a famous general of Qi State, he has no extraordinary family, his parents are poor, he joined the army in his teens, relying on his outstanding military talent, after 30 years of military career, he won the honor of Qi ** God, and was given the surname of the king of Qi!
His status in the Qi State is like Zhao Yunfei's influence in the Han State. Although Qi Jiajun is not as famous as Zhao Jiajun, he is definitely one of the few opponents that even Zhao Yunfei has to treat carefully.
At this time, he was sitting in the tent, drinking with the lieutenant general.
"General, since the beginning of the war, you have not asked about military affairs, and it is difficult for one of your subordinates to take on important tasks!" Quan Quan raised his wine glass and said with a wry smile.
"The result is already doomed, it makes no difference whether I care about it or not!" Qi Fang glanced at the lieutenant general, picked up the liquor in the bowl and drank it down. Thinking of the secret letter, he felt irritable, grabbed the wine jar and poured a few sips, and sighed in his heart: "He shouldn't have died under the conspiracy!"
It seemed that Qi Fang was not interested, so he took a sip of wine again, and said, "The general drink less, rest early! The subordinates will retire first!" and then arched his hand, and walked out of the handsome tent with a cloudy face.
Qi Fang looked at his back in a complicated way, and took out the silk brocade woven of golden silk from his arms, and a line of black seals on it was vaguely visible: "Order! Qi Fang cooperated with the Mandarin Duck Pavilion to kill Zhao Yunfei, at all costs!"
The signature is the seal of the Dongming Empire and the Qi State, and there is also the seal of the Han State in the bottom corner!
"You're so good!" Qi Fang poured down a large gulp of spirits, clenched the silk brocade in his hand, and after a puff of smoke, only a handful of black ash was scattered on the ground in his hand......
