After giving Lin You some more instructions, Xu Mucai left the underground palace with his troops and rushed to join the waiting army.
Those who were damaged in the battle, those who were not acclimatized and died of illness, including those who were transferred, the original more than 7,000 men and horses, now, only 4,560 are left behind.
For this amount, as long as we don't encounter a catastrophic disaster, we can safely go to the Western Regions.
"Shen Zong, lead the way."
At this time, Shen Zong was still immersed in the joy of becoming an official and merchant, but after hearing Xu Mu's words, he quickly calmed down and began to lead the army and continue to march forward.
We had refilled our water bags in the underground palace earlier, and the next journey should be much more comfortable. According to Shen Zong, it will probably take about seven or eight days to reach the border of the Western Regions.
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he slowed down his movements and waited until Zhuge Fan's camel caught up.
"Old man?"
On the camel, Zhuge Fan waved his hands feebly, continued to close his eyes, and fell asleep soundly.
"Lord, Mr. Zhuge...has been coughing very badly these days. The military doctor is making two bowls of medicinal soup every day."
Xu Mu sighed, and in his heart, an inexplicable sadness began to spread throughout his body.
…
Tread.
"Uu."
Not far from the border of the Western Region, a young Hu man with a stern face, wearing a golden felt helmet and holding a mace, was looking ahead coldly with his eyes raised.
"Prince, you have left the Western Regions."
"very good."
Lou Luo had a sinister smile on his lips, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes. That night, the Son of God showed a miracle in front of him, making him convinced.
"I, Lou Luo, got the protection of the True God Heavenly Father. This time, I killed the King of Western Shu and became a hero of the Western Regions!"
If this thing is successful, the gains will be immeasurable. In the future, Dayuan will definitely become the leader of the Western Regions, and Talouluo will most likely unify the Western Shu kingdoms and make great contributions to the world.
In order to make the raid smooth, he took away nearly 15,000 troops from the border of Dawan Kingdom. You must know that the entire Dawan Kingdom only has more than 30,000 people, and now it has nearly half of its troops.
"Golden Cavalry!" Lou Luo raised his mace, faced the sky, and roared angrily.
"Roar!"
Behind him, 8,000 bronze-plated Dawan cavalry troops rose up in anger. In addition, there were 6,700 scimitar and shield soldiers, all of whom had fighting intentions on their faces.
Dayuan Kingdom, Little Palace.
When he learned that Silly Brother had taken away the border troops, Lou Chong knew without thinking that it must be to intercept and kill the King of Shu.
"Damn it, damn it." Lou Chong gritted his teeth and kept pacing on the carpet anxiously.
If this matter was really that easy to handle, he wouldn't have to worry so much. Let's not talk about the Shu envoy. He often heard the title of King of Western Shu even in the Western Regions.
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will definitely offend the Shu people. Nowadays, many Western Shu countries have turned against the Shu people.
"Send the order, take my golden seal, send out fast horses, and pursue the border army immediately at all costs!"
"King, the Son of God wishes to see you." A servant hurriedly came over.
"It's him again. A few days ago, a spy came to report that he went to Lou Luo. When he disappeared, he was driven away."
Lou Chong had a cold face and sat on the throne bitterly.
He has always been very careful, no matter which side it is, Dawan Kingdom cannot be the first to take the lead. Now it's better, the silly boy has been deceived.
"This son of God always likes to provoke. The Shu people didn't come, so they asked me to attack Zhenlan City. When the Shu people came, they asked me to intercept them."
"Damn...uh."
Before Lou Chong finished speaking, he noticed that a dark shadow floated in front of him, wrapped his hands around his neck, and lifted him into the air.
Several attendants were shocked and rushed over with whips in hand.
Unexpectedly, under the two rounds of flying knives, several attendants foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.
"I've been thinking, what's the use of keeping a loser like you?" The masked Son of God said with a ferocious smile, "You have really forgotten that I helped you get your throne in the first place."
"It's better than this. You abdicate and let Lou Luo be the king of Dawan Kingdom from now on."
"Of course, I didn't kill you, you were killed by the Shu people."
Lou Chong's face was pale and speechless, with a look of pleading in his bulging eyes.
"You were retaliated by the Shu people and sent a killer to sneak into the palace and die. Then, Prince Louluo led an army to take revenge. This is normal." Shenzi smiled sinisterly, "You must feel that it is too early and you will die too.
It's too early. But if I keep you, you will miss something important."
"Go and see your true God."
The Son of God turned his arm and crushed King Dayuan's throat.
Lou Chong rolled onto the carpet, clutching his throat and crawling forward in pain. Long bloody marks were dragged all the way.
tread.
Shenzi had no expression on his face, and stepped on Lou Chong's head. After the brain was removed, he nervously crushed it several times, and then stopped with some reluctance.
"I told you earlier, you have to listen to me. Don't forget, I still have many believers in the Western Region."
Outside the small palace, more than ten servants rushed in. After looking shocked, they roared and charged forward.
Without exception, they were all poisoned and died in the palace.
"Close the door." Shenzi shook his arm and his tone became colder.
A group of men in black jumped down one after another and quickly closed the palace door.
"Clean up the mess and remember to put the Shu people's official orders in a corner. It's a pity that I don't know the art of disguise, otherwise, this matter would have turned around long ago."
Through the mask, Shenzi's eyes were full of greed and expectation.
When he was ten years old, he was just a little thief who stole grapes and fruits. He was chased with sticks. Like a wild dog, he followed a group of big thieves and wandered through the Western countries.
Until one day, they met a passerby and seven thieves came to block the road and rob him. However, they never thought that the man was armed with martial arts and killed the thieves in just a moment.
He just stood there, not running or escaping.
When the man was about to raise his sword, he knelt down, broke two of his fingers with a stone, and knocked his head crazily on the sand until his head was covered with blood and he fainted.
…
Exited the Dawan King's Palace.
Taking off his mask, the young man raised his head, half-squinted his eyes, facing the sandy wind and sunshine, and slowly showed a strange smile.
"The teacher's unfinished business will be completed by me from now on."
"My name is Upa. One day, I will become the king of the entire Western Region on this land and build an empire for all eternity!"
