Chapter 117: Capture the Pass (Part II)
Liu Heng sat upright on the platform, his eyes looking straight ahead.
The red flame that surrounded the body of the halberd in his hand burned even more violently.
The red that emanates from the flames is the only color in the temple.
The edges of the eight long weapons all emitted red light.
The eight people holding eight long weapons all bowed their heads.
"Get up. β
Liu Heng's face was expressionless, and his tone was flat, but it added a bit of majesty because of this.
Eight men with weapons stood up, their heads still hanging low.
Liu Heng lowered his head slightly, and then looked at Yougen.
Arigen clenched his fists at him, equally expressionless.
"When will the troops be dispatched?"
Hearing this, Yougen did not hesitate at all and opened his mouth directly.
"Tomorrow, send 10,000 people into ten teams. β
"With the cavalry as the vanguard, run with all your might. β
After a pause, Arigen pondered the draft.
"Take Ningchuan first. β
"Exorcise the thieves again. β
"Oh. β
The corners of Liu Heng's mouth were slightly upturned, and he smiled lightly.
"Who leads the cavalry, who commands the whole army?"
Hearing this, Yougen let go of his fist-hugging hand and put his hands back at his side.
"Caoyun County needs you to defend it, and I will lead the cavalry. β
"Among the generals, Naphtha, Peel Feather and Li Xi each led 3,400 soldiers. β
Hearing this, Liu Heng pondered for a moment and bowed forward.
He put away the smile from his face and frowned slightly.
"Do you have to go in person?"
Liu Heng looked at Yougen, and a trace of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"General. β
Hear the words. Yougen's face was solemn, and his tone was firm.
"The Ningchuan Pass is really important to our army. β
"And, the soldiers are fast. β
Hearing this, Liu Heng leaned his head against the head of the white jade lion and straightened his waist.
He was silent again for a moment, then nodded.
"If you can hold the Ningchuan Pass, the other counties will no longer be able to touch the Caoyun Domain. β
"Today, there are still many displaced people in the Caoyun Domain, and there are also remnants of other forces between the earthen forts and wooden villages that have been hoarded everywhere. β
"Our army cannot afford to leave it alone. β
"Do you have a solution?"
Hear the words. The corners of the rooted mouth are slightly upturned.
He looked at Liu Heng with a smile on his face.
"After our army takes the Ningchuan Pass, we can use grain and grass to gather the displaced people. β
"If you want to gather the displaced people, you must first gather troops to eliminate the remnants of the army in the region. β
"General. β
Yougen, who was smiling, clenched his fists at Liu Heng again.
"Our army is strong, and the remnants of the army are weak. β
"There's no need to rush, just pressure. β
Hearing this, Liu Heng pursed his mouth slightly.
He held his halberd horizontally and stood up from the lion's seat.
"Herald. β
"Tonight the whole army rests. Troops will be sent tomorrow at noon. β
As soon as Liu Heng's words fell, the eight people holding weapons all saluted Liu Heng with fists.
"Yes!"
The eight of them agreed in unison, turned around and walked towards the door together.
Yougen turned. I wanted to follow the eight people and walk out of the attic together, but was stopped by Liu Heng.
The two of them followed the spiral staircase to the attic at the top.
"Yes. β
Liu Heng, who was dressed in silver armor, held his hands behind his back. Standing straight on the balcony.
He looked at Caoyun County with a calm face.
His heart could not be calmed.
"It's been a long time. β
Yougen walked to Liu Heng's side. He looked down the attic.
More than 40,000 Liu Heng's soldiers lit countless bonfires in Caoyun County.
Among the soldiers around the bonfire, there were bursts of scolding and laughter.
Laughter and scolding mingled with the aroma of cooked corn lingered in the air.
"Good location of the building. β
Yougen shook his head and looked around at the campfires in Caoyun County, and nodded in satisfaction.
"You can see most of the county. β
"In the past ten years, my father has renovated the attic three times. β
Liu Heng raised his head and looked up at the night surrounded by the county wall and reflected by the firelight.
"About 10,000 years ago, Caoyun County was first established. β
"Eight thousand years ago, the third lord of Caoyun County built a stone castle here. β
"Now, Stone City is long gone. β
"And this attic, over the years, I don't know how many times it has been renovated. β
"Huh. β
Hearing this, Yougen let out a long sigh.
"Ten thousand years. β
Yougen first sighed, and then turned his head to look at Liu Heng.
He looked puzzled.
"You brought me here and you didn't just talk about the building, did you?"
"Huh. β
Hearing this, Liu Heng stretched out his right hand expressionlessly and pointed to a place in Caoyun County.
"Even from the time of Stone City, this building is only more than 8,000 years old. β
"That cottage has been around for 10,000 years. β
Yougen looked towards the location that Liu Heng was pointing to, and he saw the grass house that Liu Heng was pointing to.
He frowned.
"Even before Caoyun County was built, this grass house already existed. β
At night, there was a fire shining on the roof of the grass house, reflecting a dim gold.
Liu Heng looked at the dark golden grass tent, and the look in his eyes was dim.
"They don't usually care about the world. β
"It is said that going deep into the world will hinder the way. β
"But they've already acted. β
Yougen, who frowned tightly, pursed his lips slightly.
"I don't think they're going to give up easily. β
"That's right. β
Hearing this, Liu Heng nodded, his face extremely grim.
"I just hope they won't alarm the Qingfeng Provincial Mansion. β
"We and other laypeople go deep into the red dust, and the karma is heavy. β
Putting his hands behind his back again, Liu Heng smiled wryly.
"A master monk does not deliberately provoke the world. β
"But the hopeless Cave Void cultivators, the peerless powerhouses who have entered the Void, don't have so many worries. β
"Judging by these two encounters. β
"Whoever wants to get rid of us should be empty, not empty. β
Hearing this, Yougen pursed his mouth.
"If it had been Kongming, I would have died long ago. β
"It's not just you. β
Liu Heng let out a long sigh, his face was a little pale.
"If it's really an empty cultivator, we're already dry bones. β
Liu Heng turned his head, glanced at Yougen, and then turned his head.
"Even if I am a cave cultivator, if I didn't have you, I would have become a dry bone. β
"You're right. β
Yougen turned around with a blank face and strode down the stairs.
Liu Heng got up sideways, and watched with a shocked face as Yougen walked to the front of the stairs.
"Hey!"
"Where are you going?"
"You blow the wind here first, and I'll come when I go. β
Golden Gangyuan passed through Yougen's body, and he turned into a golden light and rushed down the spiral staircase.
Jin Guang rushed out of the attic and rushed to the grass hut next to the attic.
The door of the Taoist temple was still closed, and one rushed to the closed door.
He stretched out his right hand and pushed it towards the wooden door.
Yuan Gang poured out from between his palms, and golden light overflowed his entire palm.
"Bang!"
A huge force poured out from the palm of a hand, and the wooden door was pushed inward by the great force.
A large number of runes were precipitated from the inner faΓ§ade, and when he saw that he couldn't push the wooden door, he clenched his left hand into a fist.
He swung his fist at the wooden door, his fist not yet landing on it.
A blue light had already rushed out from the Taoist temple, and the blue light rushed into the sky.
Looking at the blue light rushing into the sky, Yougen's body immediately freed up golden flames.
He followed the blue light and rushed into the sky. (To be continued......)
