Chapter 86 Betrayal
Tens of thousands of people were divided into countless small groups and went deep into the mountains. However, because most of the subordinates of Huainan Haoyou were guides who were deeply experiencing the geographical situation, although they were scattered but not chaotic, the progress routes of each unit had their own rules. Generally speaking, if the leader of the team was close to the personal relationship between the leader of the sect, Lei Xu, the team was closer to the team. For example, the four chiefs of Qu, Xie Mu, Liu Ling, Lei Che, and Lei Ding, usually marches or camps around the leader of the sect, and took turns to assume the duties of guards.
During this evening, the two teams responsible for the guards were Liu Ling and Lei Che. The two teams were stationed five miles apart in a slope, just to protect the wings of the team in the center. However, at the third update, Liu Ling suddenly ordered an emergency order and marched northward with his 300 people at the headquarters overnight. As soon as they arrived at a pass, fire lights soared into the sky from all directions, and the sound of shouting for killing sounds were roaring.
The soldiers subconsciously became slightly restless. What happened? Was Cao's army chasing him? Or was there really someone who was ill-behaved in the camp? Many people instantly thought of a vague news in the camp these days, saying that the Lujiang Lei family is about to confront a strong leader in a comprehensive battle... Is this the beginning?
When this elite force set out, Liu Ling issued an order to prevent someone from causing trouble, and he had to guard the southern intersection to ensure the safety of the camp. Sure enough, the riots broke out now. Everyone was watching their chief Qu, Lei Xu, the leader of the great leader of the Huainan, and was waiting for him to issue the next order as soon as possible.
It is no problem to go back to the camp immediately or leave various camps. These 300 elite soldiers are already equipped with excellent weapons and are fully prepared for combat. No matter which direction they are invested in, they will be able to turn the situation around.
However, Liu Ling only pondered but did not give orders for a long time.
This strong figure, dark skin and round eyes are Lei Xu's close origin. He led Lei Xu's entourage for many years and accepted the military position of Yuan Shu, with a deeper qualification than Xie Mu and others. The 300 people he led were all trusted subordinates whom he had been grateful to for years. They were not only brave and brave, but also loyal to him. Even if Liu Ling asked them to go up to the mountain of swords and sea of fire, the soldiers would not frown.
But... why there was no order? Why was it waiting here for? The soldiers' restlessness became more and more obvious, and several officers could not stop scolding each other.
Liu Ling heard all these commotions, but was still silent.
He just pressed the handle of the knife and stood in a slightly wider view. He watched the flames everywhere rise higher and higher. The leaping flames penetrated through the dimness and cast his shadow on the cliff behind him. It was very long and sometimes short. He thought: It had just rained yesterday evening and could burn it like this. It seems that Chen Lan has prepared a lot of firewood, ointment and oil, which is considered to be deliberate.
After a long time, Liu Ling asked his deputy and clan brother Liu Min, "Who do you think the situation is done?"
"I guess it's probably Chen Lan. Others don't have the courage or strength." Liu Min thought for a while and said slowly: "At this moment, there are riots everywhere in the camps. I guess there must be many bandits and mobs mixed in to take advantage of the chaos... This kind of ability to indulge in burning, killing, looting and plundering is also Chen Lan's specialty."
Li Du, the cavalry general standing beside Liu Min, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "The power that Chen Lan can use is not much, otherwise it would be impossible for the camp to resist until now. We set off immediately and kill Chen Lan and others in one breath."
Li Du is Liu Ling's sister-in-law and is known for his courage and courage.
Liu Ling ignored him and continued to ask Liu Min: "So, why do you think Chen Lan should do this?"
Liu Min said: "The sect leader is so sick, it is difficult for us to shock the wealthy families as steadily as before. Chen Lan has always been ambitious and has long wanted to take advantage of the sect leader's serious illness, so Mr. Xin has made us more vigilant these days... But I really can't figure out why Chen Lan attacked us at this time. If the young general brought people back, would Chen Lan be able to defeat him?"
Li Du sneered and continued to interrupt: "Chen Lan has been pampering in recent years, and her belly has been three times fatter than before. If the two fight in front of the formation, the little Langjun can tear him alive with one hand."
Liu Ling still ignored him and shook his head at Liu Min.
Liu Min hesitated for a moment: "Brother?"
"The young general will not come back." Liu Ling sighed deeply: "Yesterday morning, the young general led his men to block Cao's army, accidentally hit the ravage arrow and died on the spot."
"What!" Liu Min and Li Du exclaimed together.
Liu Ling said: "After the young general died in battle, the young man Lei Yuan came forward to reorganize his troops and continued to fight with Cao's army. He had retreated to the Gujian Pass that he had mentioned earlier. This is the news that Lei Yuan brought back from the cavalry king Yan overnight. So, there will be no false."
"How is it possible? How is it possible?" Li Du was a little angry. With his brave and combat-ready style and outstanding skills, Lei Xiu was very popular in the young part of the Huainan Haoba subordinates. Li Du was also one of Lei Xiu's supporters. When he heard that Lei Xiu died in battle, Li Du was really surprised.
"So that's it..." Liu Min was much calmer. He walked back and forth twice, frowned and thought, "This kind of news cannot be hidden. It is precisely because Chen Lan also learned about the death of the young general in battle that he was determined to take action first. But..."
Liu Min suddenly looked up at Liu Ling, showing an incredible expression: "We should have been stationed in front of the camp tonight, but we suddenly left our position! Chen Lan... How could this guy Chen Lan have such luck?"
"This is not luck..." Liu Ling sighed deeply again. He stood in front of Liu Min and said in a deep voice: "I specially led the troops here. This is to cooperate with Chen Lan and give him the way to go directly to the camp."
Li Du sat down to the ground with a loud bang.
Liu Min took a big step back and looked at Liu Ling with a pale face: "Brother, what do you mean? You...have you betrayed the sect leader?"
Liu Ling was silent for a while and slowly said, "The sect leader's illness is worse than you know. He is not long after. His brave and warlike eldest son just died in battle, and most of his capable subordinates were entangled with Cao's army on the front line. At this time... Chen Lan will do something sooner or later, either today or tomorrow. I just follow the trend. When the powerful and right-wingers started fighting for authority, they never bleed. But what does this have to do with us? Why should we get involved?"
Li Du sat on the ground and shouted, "How could he have nothing to do with us? We...we are the sect leader's entourage!"
"The sect leader is about to die! The sect leader's son is also dead! We will not be there soon!" Liu Ling suddenly screamed maniacly. At this moment, Liu Ling did not consider that the sect leader had other descendants. Within the Huainan Qunhao, only the strong can inherit the authority of the previous strong man. Except for the young general Lei Xiu, he did not think that others have this qualification... Perhaps Lei Yuan has shown some performance recently, but in Liu Ling's eyes, that is far from enough.
Li Du looked at Liu Ling in disbelief, and suddenly punched him hard on the ground, one after another.
Liu Min took another step back. His lips trembled and he could hardly speak. After a long time, he said dejectedly: "Please forgive me for being stupid, I... I really couldn't imagine that so much... This is betrayal!"
"Since the young general is dead, the Lujiang Lei family has no future! Now, they are the largest piece of fat in this mountain, waiting for others to bite. I don't want to die with them, nor do I want you to die! Let me be honest, in this situation, I don't know how many clans are waiting for the outcome of this battle, waiting for the dividing of the Lujiang Lei family's disciples after dawn, and the wealth... The situation is over!" Liu Ling shouted: "So, we are waiting here! This is for the good of all of us!"
He strode forward, his breathing almost sprayed on Liu Min's face. He held the hilt of the knife in his hand and said with a fierce look: "You and we, all of us, are you waiting here! Can you?"
Liu Min stared at her trusted brother and suddenly felt that this face was a little strange.
But Liu Min didn't dare to resist under the influence. He opened his lips slightly and asked softly: "Just just wait here? Is it right? Just wait?"
Liu Ling looked around at his position.
This is a valley surrounded by several unknown hills. The valley winds forward with gurgling streams. The northward, the flatter the terrain and the wider the stream flow. The gravel and silt carried from the deep mountains for millions of years have slowly deposited here, and finally formed a gravel beach full of thorns and weeds. Further north of the gravel beach are several mountain roads gathered from different directions. Those who pass through those roads must pass through the valleys they control if they want to reach the camp.
"If no one comes to disturb us, we will wait." Liu Ling turned around and said word by word: "If someone plans to go to the rescue camp through here, we will fight them back."
After all, it is time to fight with your companions.
Liu Min lowered her head and didn't say anything, as if she wanted to express her dissatisfaction in this way, while Liu Ling just looked at Liu Min and waited patiently.
None of the brothers spoke, and the officers surrounding them, and the soldiers farther away, did not speak. The valley was silent as if it was dead. I don’t know how long it took, but a faint white began to slowly appear in the darkness that covered the world.
There were still fighting and crying everywhere, fires were still flashing, and the riots were still not stopped, and the direction of the sect leader's team... The camp of the sect leader's team was not very far from this valley, so the shouts of killing, the collision of weapons, the sound of bowstrings and the sound of arrows flying through the air were also faintly transmitted into the eardrums of the people with the howling wind in the valley. The sound was still fierce, but gradually a little low.
Resistance stubbornly. These four words suddenly appeared in Liu Min's mind.
It seems that our team can't stand it.
He said to himself: The situation is already like this, so he can only try to protect himself first, let’s put the rest aside.
He raised his head and said to Liu Ling in a dry voice: "Then we will set up the formation here."
