Mr. Ji Kao has been standing at the ferry for three days and three nights. He has not eaten or drank for these three days, and he has not even moved. He has endured the wind and sun in the midsummer, looking towards the south like a stone sculpture.
The Chongchen Department began secretly building this ferry more than a year ago. It is located in a dense forest on the north bank of Yunmeng Juze. All the tall and ancient trees grow on the bank. The weeds and dead branches and leaves in the lower areas have been cleared away.
, there is a reef on the shore, which has been cut and cut to be suitable for boats and rafts to berth, while the tall tree canopy blocks the traces of people's activities on the ground.
This ferry is far away from the villages of the Chongchen tribe and is located in a remote area where no one pays attention. It was built quietly by Ji Kao himself and led his people. The Jiuli tribe was not aware of it in advance. The Chongchen tribe’s army boarded the rafts from here and crossed the clouds.
Mengjuze suddenly appeared in the land of Jiuli. After the war started, there was no need to hide anymore. Many trees were cut down to build more rafts, revealing a camp.
Ji Kao is a great monk and the captain of Wu Hui's bodyguard.
In Ba Yuan, due to Shaowu's unique status, his bodyguards are all elites specially selected from the country, but it is impossible for a Dacheng monk to serve as the captain of the bodyguard. Even in the land of China, Dacheng monks have a transcendent status.
, although the Chongchen tribe is powerful, Wu Hui's power cannot exceed that of Shaowu.
Ji Kao's situation is quite special. He has received strict military training in the tribe since he was a child and is an outstanding warrior. He was promoted by Wu Hui himself and served first as a personal guard and then as the captain of the personal guard.
During his tenure, he achieved a breakthrough in Dacheng cultivation. From the first day he became Bojun's personal guard, the oath Ji Kao swore was to obey Wu Hui's orders and protect Wu Hui's safety.
After he broke through to Dacheng cultivation level, Wu Hui did not force him to condescend to continue serving as the captain of the personal guard, allowing him to choose to step down and enjoy a more honorable status in the tribe. But Ji Kao himself refused, and he still guarded his
oath.
As a Dacheng monk, the captain of the personal guard has a privilege that Wu Hui personally promised. If Wu Hui's safety is not threatened, under other circumstances, he does not need to take action, does not need to pay attention to other things, and obeys other people's orders.
Order. This happened shortly before this battle.
In that decisive battle, among the guards standing in front of Wu Hui, Ji Kao was the only one who survived. When Gu Li Zhong risked his life to throw the long staff, Ji Kao leaped into the air and jumped in front, but was beaten by Wu Hui.
His mount, the giant rhinoceros, kicked him down with a hoof. The giant rhinoceros stepped on his back and used its strength to fly into the air, swallowing the staff and then exploding. Ji Kao who was nearby was also blown away.
Ji Kao was injured. After he got up, he stood in front of Wu Hui, blocking the long-range ordnance attack of Qi Li for the king's head. The injury, which was not too obvious at first, became more and more serious. Wu Hui also saw that it was difficult for him to continue.
After fighting hard, the last order given to him was to lead the remaining troops to evacuate and cover the logistics personnel in the camp to retreat to the north bank of Yunmengju Ze.
As the captain of the personal guard, he was supposed to protect the commander to the death, but this was Wu Hui's order. Ji Kao finally carried out and completed the order. He left on the last raft. Ji Kao also knew what Lord Junshou was capable of.
With the cultivation of the Transformation Realm and the powerful fire spirit flag, he can escape from the battlefield.
When Wu Hui's fire flag flew towards the clouds, the remnants of the retreating Chongchen tribe and the logistics personnel had already left the battlefield far away and were traveling on rafts through the Yunmeng swamp. Others could not see the last scene, but Ji Kao could not
I saw that Wu Hui was intercepted by another stream of light, and it seemed that he was captured by a strong enemy.
But after the inexplicable appearance of the master "robbed" Wu Hui, he did not fall in the direction of Jiuli's army. Instead, he rushed directly into the sky and disappeared. Ji Kao was surprised. He didn't know whether the king's head had been kidnapped or not.
Of course he was deeply worried after being rescued.
Ji Kao knew Wu Hui's plan. Lord Junshou should meet the retreating troops at this ferry. He had been waiting here for three days, and his heart became heavier and heavier. Several subordinates persuaded Ji Kao
Kao took a short break, but was thrown far away by the silent magic. Everyone knew his mood, and no one dared to get closer.
Including Ji Kao, more than a dozen of Wu Hui's personal guards survived, and almost all of them were injured. The coach did not retreat, but the personal guards left the battlefield. Under normal circumstances, this would never be allowed, but this was exactly what happened to Wu Hui.
command.
If Wu Hui returns safely, of course there will be no problem. But if Wu Hui disappears or is killed in battle, Ji Kao and the dozen or so personal guards will be considered guilty of a capital crime. Except Wu Hui himself cannot pardon them, the new Bojun may not be able to.
To pardon him. Even if Lu finally pardoned him, a Dacheng monk, due to special circumstances, how could Ji Kao have the dignity to stand on his own?
The funeral of the head of the Chongchen tribe has always been a custom of martyrs. The victims are usually concubines who have left no heirs. If the head of the king dies under normal circumstances, the bodyguards are not responsible and may be punished by the next king.
However, if the king's head dies in an assassination or is killed on the battlefield, all the bodyguards will also be buried.
Ji Kao stood at the ferry for three days and three nights, feeling more and more desperate. He was not afraid of death, but regretted that he could not die on the battlefield. If anything happened to Wu Hui, it would be his fault as the captain of the bodyguard.
I have neglected my duty and have no shame in going back.
The remnants of the withdrawn military formation and the logistics personnel were still in the camp at this moment. Wu Hui had not returned, and it was difficult for everyone to make decisions. Wu Hui handed over the command of the retreat to Ji Kao, and everyone was waiting.
The order of the quarterly examination.
Although Ji Kao's figure looked like a standing statue, he felt weak and his eyesight went black. He could no longer hold on. He was already seriously injured when he retreated from the battlefield, and he had to cut off cover and contact.
He commanded the retreat, and then waited here for Wu to return. He did not receive timely and proper treatment, but was supported by a belief in hope.
Ji Kao knew that he could not go on like this. There were still more than 2,000 people behind him. He should leave some troops to command the Pig Dragon to garrison here, and then he would lead a large force back, even if he would face death when he returned.
At this moment, Ji Kao's eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his head and shouted with ecstasy: "Master Bojun is back!"
I saw a streak of fire in the sky flying towards the ferry like a shooting star. It was Wu Hui who activated the fire flag. There was another streak of light behind the fire, which was of course the Huwa who was escorting Wu Hui.
Huwa did not intend to waste time, but Wu Hui was in a coma for several days in Wuluo Zhongli Mountain. His injuries were not serious, and the poison he received was violent. It was Huwa who took Wu Hui to fly from Wuluo Zhongli Mountain
came over, but when he was approaching the ferry, Wu Hui asked Huwa to let go of him, and used his remaining strength to control the fire flags and fall from the sky without losing the majesty of the past.
Seeing Wu Hui standing in front of him majestically, Ji Kao burst into tears, knelt down and said in a choked voice: "Master Bojun, you are finally back!"
More than two thousand people in the camp rushed out, cheered in unison and knelt down to salute. Only Huwa and Wu Hui were still standing. Huwa suddenly had an indescribable strange feeling. He had heard such cheers more than once. Part 1
Once when Yun Yuan took down Wu Hui, the people of the Jiuli tribe cheered. This time when Wu Hui was sent here, the people of the Chongchen tribe cheered again.
The safe return of the king's head is certainly worthy of everyone's cheers. Wu Hui's performance in this war is also worthy of the respect of his tribe. Although the battle was lost, it can also be said to be won. Wu Hui led his army across the river to make a surprise attack
He severely damaged Jiuli and personally cut off the rear to cover the safe retreat of the large forces.
This statement cannot be said to be a lie, it is just a change of description. The Chongchen Ministry will definitely declare this to the outside world, and even many of them believe so. Wu Hui's strong return is a boost to the people's morale after the defeat.
The greatest encouragement.
After everyone cheered and paid their respects, Wu Hui signaled everyone to stand up and ordered: "You have waited hard, rest for half a day, and we will break camp and set off early tomorrow morning to return to Seoul."
Luohan City is the city outline in the territory of the Chongchen tribe, and it is also the residence of the emperor. The current city lord is concurrently held by Lu Zhong. After Ji Kao stood up, he asked: "Excuse me, Lord Bojun, who is this young man?"
Wu Hui specially introduced in a loud voice: "This is the world-famous Lord Peng Keng. Now he has been canonized by the emperor as the king of Fengxian Kingdom. It was Fengxian Lord who saved me on the battlefield this time!"
There was an uproar in the camp, and everyone who had just stood up knelt down again, not only to pay homage to Lord Fengxian, but also to thank him for his righteous deed of rescuing Wu Hui. Huwa could only return the courtesy and invite everyone to stand up, and could not explain anything else.
Of course, a person like Wu Hui speaks smartly. As soon as he opens his mouth, it makes people feel that Huwa and Chongchen are on the same camp. But after careful consideration, Wu Hui is not lying. Huwa did lead Wu Hui from the battlefield.
He left. In the past few days, he treated his wounds and expelled poisons, which can be considered as a cure for Wu Hui.
If Huwa had not intervened, Wu Hui would have been able to use the fire flag to return to the ferry camp and receive timely treatment. But in terms of detoxification and healing methods, few people in the world can surpass Huwa, at least no one in Wu Hui's camp.
.By then Wu Hui will have to rely on his profound cultivation to suppress him, and he will never look as casual as he does now.
Huwa accompanied Wu Hui into the big tent in the camp. The Chongchen tribe members automatically separated from the road and looked at him with great respect. Wu Hui publicly claimed that Huwa had saved him, but did not say that Huwa had saved him.
How it is related to Shao Jiachen's death is something that very few people know about.
When he came to sit down in the big tent, Wu Hui summoned all the leaders in the camp, and Huwa's seat was actually on the same side as Wu Hui. Wu Hui introduced everyone and finally said: "
Lord Fengxian is the messenger of Lord Chong Bo Gun, and he is here on behalf of Lord Chong Bo Gun. You should respect him as you respect me!"
Wu Hui gave Huwa such a high status and great face! Generally speaking, as a monarch, his status is not low, but it depends on what kind of monarch he is. Fengxian Kingdom is just a small country in the mountains, with a small population.
The total number is less than ten thousand, and such a king is actually nothing in the eyes of a large tribe like Chongchen.
Wu Hui gave Huwa another identity. The envoy came on behalf of Lord Chongbo Gun. His status was much more honorable than that of a king of a small country. At least in the Chongchen tribe, he could even be compared with him.
Sit down with your head level.
Huwa just took a token of Chong Bogun. Chong Bogun did not explicitly let Huwa represent him, let alone ask him to do anything. But that token should be very important, and those who hold it can even become Chongbo Gun.
He was Bo Gun's own representative, otherwise Wu Hui would not have such an attitude. Unexpectedly, Chong Bo Gun gave such an important token to Hu Wa without saying a superfluous word.
Wu Hui then ordered Ji Kao: "You are responsible for receiving and protecting Lord Fengxian in the clan. No one is allowed to disrespect Lord Fengxian. If Lord Fengxian needs anything, he must do his best to satisfy it."
Of course, the captain of the personal guard was Wu Hui's most trusted person. Wu Hui asked Ji Kao to be responsible for receiving and protecting the tiger baby, which was equivalent to giving the tiger baby a status equal to his own. Ji Kao stepped forward to accept the order and was about to get up and return.
But suddenly he fell to the ground and fainted immediately.
The guard captain could no longer hold on for a long time. With his profound cultivation and the surprise of Wu Hui's return, he had been holding on until now. When his spirit relaxed, he finally fell down. Wu Hui quickly ordered people to treat him, Hu Wa said
"If Mr. Bojun trusts my methods, let me treat this general. I will ensure that he is safe." He took the opportunity to leave the tent.
The scene in the city of Luohan is slightly different from that in the Central Plains, and the customs and customs bear traces of the Li people. The Chongchen tribe has lived in the south for a long time, and has merged with the Benli tribe, and has its own unique customs.
Bojun's mansion in Chongchenbu was even more spacious and bright than Huwa's palace in Fengxian Kingdom. In Bojun's mansion, Huwa saw Lu Zhong, who had been ordered to rush back from the border. Huwa had already met the four rumored Chinese war gods.
Third.
Lu Zhong is a full head taller than his father Wu Hui. Even through his clothes, you can feel the muscles all over his body bulged and clearly defined. Not only is he strong and muscular, but he also seems to be full of power that can explode at any time. If you look at his facial features,
, maybe Shao Jiachen looks more like his father, but Lu Zhong inherited Wu Hui's hair color and that kind of temperament.
Wu Hui's hair is slightly withered and yellow, which is because he is older, while Lu Zhong's long, loose hair has a dark red luster, which should be more like Wu Hui's appearance when he was young. No outsiders were present during this meeting.
Wu Hui's attitude towards Huwa was very respectful, but Lu Zhong was different. When his father introduced Huwa's identity and purpose of coming, as well as the death of Shao Jiachen and the tragedy of the genocide in Benliu Village, Lu Zhong snorted coldly,
He glared at Huwa with sharp eyes, with a hint of hostility, appearing very dissatisfied and dissatisfied.
Following this cold snort, a coercive momentum like a volcanic eruption rushed towards Huwa. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably kneel down on the spot and be scared to death. Even a person with an unusually strong will would be devastated all over his body.
I was trembling and couldn't even speak.
But Huwa didn't care. He stood up calmly and bowed to Lu Zhong and said, "I have heard about Lord Lu Zhong's reputation for a long time, but today I saw it in person. He is indeed extraordinary!"
This is a courtesy comment, but just "heard for a long time" and "extraordinary" are not compliments to Lu Zhong. Lu Zhong obviously wants to use his power to overwhelm others when they meet, but this is what Huwa is least afraid of.
set.
Before Huwa broke through to Dacheng, he had experienced the power and coercion contained in the immortal family legacy of Xiaoshanjun. Now, he himself has reached the seventh level of the ninth realm, and together with Bo Yi and Chong Bo Gun,
An expert like Gou Mang has had many encounters with him. If he had a physical fight, he might not be able to beat Lu Zhong, but how could he care about Lu Zhong's aura and coercion.
In front of distinguished guests, Lu Zhong's behavior was obviously very rude. Wu Hui quickly shouted: "Lu Zhong must not be rude! Lord Fengxian is here on behalf of Master Chong Bogun. You should respect everything!" Then he sighed again and said,
"As for Shao Jiachen's death, he is responsible for it. It is really no wonder that he cannot be the Immortal Lord. Now that all the Benliu Village clan are on the run, this matter should not be mentioned again. No one in the clan should embarrass the Immortal Lord because of this."
However, Lu Zhong still glared angrily and said: "Let's not mention the matter of my younger brother. Since Lord Fengxian is the envoy of Lord Chong Bogun, I would like to ask him a question. Since you came here with Chong Bogun's token, before that
But why are you in the Jiuli army camp? Since you have been on the battlefield and have the cultivation of an Earth Immortal, why are you watching the defeat of the Chen army? Is this what Bo Gun meant?"
Lu Zhong's last words were to address him directly as "Bo Gun" and even the honorific "Chong" was removed. Huwa suddenly realized why Lu Zhong was so dissatisfied with him. The more reason may be that he was directed at Chong.
Bo Gun went there. It was strange that Wu Hui kept introducing him as an envoy on behalf of Chong Bo Gun.
Huwa watched Lu Zhong's younger brother Shao Jiachen being killed by slaves. Instead of stopping him, he helped those people escape successfully afterwards. It is normal for Lu Zhong to have a bad impression of him. But this matter has been suppressed by Wu Hui
, Lu finally would not be so rude on such an occasion.
Chongchen's tribe was defeated in this battle, losing at least ten military formations, and thousands of elite young men were killed. This was difficult for Lu Zhong to accept. If you look at it from another angle, Shao Jiachen's death, I am afraid not many people will feel sad
, and even more would only be secretly happy in private. But the death of more than a thousand warriors was a heavy blow to the Chongchen tribe.
Since Chongbo is the recognized leader of the faction of Emperor Gun and Zhuanxu in later generations, the envoys he sent must of course help the Chongchen tribe and must not be inclined to foreign enemies. But Huwa watched the Chongchen tribe's defeat on the battlefield and waited until the war was over.
Suddenly he took Wu Hui away.
Lu Zhong had just made a test. Although it was difficult to determine what Huwa's magical power was, he at least had the cultivation of an earthly immortal. If he were on the side of the Chongchen tribe on the battlefield, even if it was just when Gu Li Zhong launched a life-saving attack, he would
If you can assist Wu Hui to block in time, preventing the enemy from opening a gap in the battle formation, the outcome of the decisive battle may be different.
So Lu Zhong wanted to ask, what did Chong Bogun mean? Did the people he sent just watch the Chongchen army be defeated and not intend to help at all?
Wu Hui really respected Chong Bogun in his heart, but his attitude was even more exaggerated, and he was more or less deliberately doing it for everyone in the world to see. But Lu Zhong's temper was different. He was too lazy to do such superficial things, but in his heart
He is not as deeply respectful to Chong Bogun as his father, and is even a bit dissatisfied. To be continued
