"The Song family naturally has ulterior motives in strategizing, but right now I am more worried about whether Shi Wei and Helian Chengxian can return safely from this trip." ．?cn”
Shen Xiangdong explained: "The Yueqi camp is brave and good at fighting, General Helian is good at attacking, and General Shi is good at planning. The purpose of going here is to burn down the Dongyan Chuyang rogue warships, not to attack the city and seize the territory. If nothing can be done, it will be difficult to retreat with all my body." Two generals."
"Although I have sent orders to them to act according to the opportunity, I am afraid that General Helian and General Shi will insist on attacking by force."
"General, don't worry. If General Helian is indeed worried about this, the general knows how to advance and retreat, and is by no means a reckless person. Moreover, when the general ordered the two of them to lead an army alone, he knew how to make good use of others. Why worry about gains and losses today?" ?”
Li Luo smiled casually, bowed his hands and said, "Sir, what I'm trying to teach you is that maybe I've been a little tired recently."
Shen Xiangdong was slightly stunned, not understanding the meaning of Li Luo's words.
The dense fires in Fenghe Valley have been extinguished by Shepherd Sirius soldiers. Fortunately, it is the beginning of summer, and the vegetation in the valley is quite moist. The wildfire has not taken advantage of the situation to burn into a sea of inferno, but the remaining smoke is billowing, choking the soldiers to cough repeatedly.
The huge Fenghe Valley was filled with the pungent smell of blood and burning smoke.
It was getting late, so Li Luo sent an order to all the tribes to set up camp in the upwind area, take a short rest, and leave the mountain tomorrow, heading south to Dongyan Prefecture.
It was night, and all the beasts in Fenghe Valley were fleeing, and the insects and birds were silent. They seemed to be afraid of the strong smell of blood. Even the Wealth Wolf in the mountains found it unbearable and stayed away.
After three or two hours, the dull and depressive atmosphere in Fenghe Valley gradually dissipated, and the breeze slowly came in, carefully testing Li Luo and his subordinate Mu Tianlang generals.
The insect cautiously poked its head out, murmured a few times, and then shrank back, but there were also greedy people hiding in the pool of blood of the corpses that had fallen to the ground, feasting on it.
There is not a lot of cold air in the Lingshan Mountains, but the humidity is heavier.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was dimly lit. High at the entrance of the valley, Li Luo looked quietly at the valley below. The scene that was originally green grass like a carpet and blown by the wind was now scattered by piles of corpses scattered everywhere. , there is no lack of charred and twisted appearance in the blue color, it is dilapidated and broken, and it looks particularly riddled with holes.
But after looking at it for a long time, the distorted image of this valley revealed a strange harmony. The grass, corpses, ashes, and purple blood seemed to complement each other and blend into one.
"Your Highness got up so early." Chu Yinger arrived behind Li Luo at some unknown time and said indifferently.
Li Luo turned around, smiled kindly, and did not answer Chu Ying'er's question, but said seriously: "Why did you call me Prince?"
Chu Ying'er was stunned for a moment, let out a soft sigh, seemed to be panicked, and said softly: "His Ninth Highness is King Dingtian, so he is naturally the prince."
Li Luo looked at Chu Ying'er in a daze, but his clear expression in the past was replaced by confusion and confusion, and he looked at Chu Ying'er blankly.
Chu Ying'er was at a loss for a moment. She had been following Li Luo for a long time. She had seen various aspects of her being cold and harsh, warm and indifferent, lonely and sad, but she had never seen him like this before. Her red lips parted slightly, not knowing what to say. What, but it was inconvenient to just walk away and freeze on the spot.
For a long time, the two of them looked at each other in silence. Chu Ying'er gradually felt uneasy. She leaned forward slightly and was about to ask.
All I heard was Li Luo smiled narrowly and said straightforwardly: "It's better not to call me Prince. I've been in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, and when I first heard the title of Prince, I had mixed feelings in my ears. It was very strange."
Chu Ying'er paused and was slightly stunned. She suddenly realized that Li Luo was just joking. Her chest rose and fell suddenly, her breathing sounded rapid, and she said with slight annoyance: "You..." Before he finished speaking, Then it stopped abruptly and became quiet.
Li Luo also lost consciousness for a moment, his expression suddenly as calm as before, and he said harmoniously: "After resting for a few hours, maybe I am used to staying in Dizhou. The humidity and heat in the mountains are quite unbearable."
Chu Ying'er snorted and glanced at Li Luo strangely. She was also secretly surprised why she felt angry. Such an offense was extremely inappropriate.
Fortunately, Li Luo didn't notice, Chu Ying'er nodded slightly and stood quietly aside.
Li Luopoyan chuckled, seeing Chu Ying'er's slight embarrassment, and said calmly: "There is still some time before sunrise, Miss Chu, please rest for a while, running all the way is also very hard."
Chu Ying'er bowed lightly and retreated.
After walking a hundred steps away, Chu Ying'er looked back and glanced at Li Luo, who was still standing quietly on the edge of the mountain looking out. He suddenly realized that it was just an unintentional joke by a young man who was younger than a weakling. Maybe the body should be like this originally.
The sky turned white, and all the soldiers in the camp were dressed and groomed.
Fu Xiushu and Zhu Zhi reported that in the battle last night, more than 7,000 of the enemy were killed. The remaining defeated generals had fled back to Dongyan Prefecture along the way. Mu Tianlang's soldiers had over a hundred casualties, so it was considered a great victory.
Li Luo lowered his head, pinched his brows, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Paoze will be buried alive, and a monument will be set up to write down the record, and another book will be written so that the family can pay tribute in the future."
"General, I obey the order." Zhu Zhi responded solemnly and took the order. Just as he was about to leave, Li Luoyang called out to him and said calmly: "The bodies of the bandits should also be buried together. In a foreign land, they must be buried in peace at least."
Zhu Zhi bowed and went about his business.
Li Luo sighed secretly, in the Fenghe Valley, there were hundreds of heroic spirits, accompanied by the remnant souls of thousands of bandits, and when they arrived in the underworld, they probably no longer needed to fight and fight.
"General, I have something going on." Qian Yi said in a deep voice.
"What's up?"
"Last night when the two armies were fighting, the general was secretly paying attention. Although there were people with strong martial arts skills among the enemy generals, they were not difficult to deal with. However, the general felt that the casualties of our Shepherd Sirius soldiers were somewhat unclear, but he didn't know what was wrong. ." Qian Yi muttered.
Li Luo smiled faintly, nodded in approval and said, "As you expected, the battle last night was a bit suspicious."
"General, what's suspicious about this?" Qian Yi asked hurriedly, while Fu Xiushu and others also listened attentively.
"Last night, there were some dead soldiers mixed into the enemy formation. Their martial arts skills were different from those of the northern sect of the Southern Sect of Dagan. Their attacks were quite tricky.
We are also incompatible with the rogue soldiers and generals, and they seem to have different connections. I have asked Master Zhai to go and investigate to see if I can find any clues."
"Ah, this?" Qian Yi was puzzled and said in surprise.
Li Luo said calmly: "Let the officers and men in the camp pay more attention. Caution is the best thing." Qian Yi and Fu Xiushu responded solemnly.
At this time, a tombstone was erected in a sunny place in the valley. There was no time to decorate it. A large bluestone was written with the date and month, recording the fierce battle in Fenghe Valley last night, and then went to other things.
A hundred feet away to the left of the tombstone, there is a solitary pile of rubble, where a rogue general is buried. (To be continued.)
