Liu Hongji rubbed his chin with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
However, when he thought about the shocking scene during the day, he quickly became happy again: "Just once! I don't believe that I can't scare Wang Shichong to death!"
The rain outside slowly started to fall heavily.
The cloth tent erected over the fire was also weighed down by the collected rainwater, forming a round funnel shape in the middle.
Xiaodong saw the hanging cloth tent and quickly got up to get a stick to poke the water out from one side to prevent it from getting too close to the flames and burning holes.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Under this situation, no one was interested in talking. Even the big-mouthed Liu Hongji stared blankly at the dark night.
For a while, except for the crackling sound of firewood, there was only the tireless sound of rain.
A drop of rain fell on Xiao Han's head from nowhere.
He touched his hair and subconsciously glanced far away in the direction of Hulao Pass. Although he couldn't see anything now, he felt calm and felt comforted.
"Da da……"
Just as Xiao Han was looking into the distance, a very subtle sound happened to come from that direction, but the sound was mixed with the sound of the rain. If Xiao Han hadn't happened to be facing there, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"Eh? What's the sound?" Xiao Han frowned and asked strangely.
Liu Hongji was still looking at the fire and didn't know what to think. When he heard this, his ears twitched, and then he suddenly stood up: "It sounds like the sound of horse hooves?!"
"The sound of horse hooves?" Xiao Han was startled, and just as he was about to ask again, Liu Hongji had already drawn out his long knife and rushed out of the awning.
"Five Cavalry, heading northeast! Be alert!"
Liu Hongji's words came through clearly in the rain. At the same time, the warriors who were resting in a circle quickly got up and ran without any hesitation.
In just a moment, the battle formation changed from a circle to a crescent shape.
"Five Cavalry? It's so late. Who could it be? From which direction are they coming? Is there something wrong with Hulao Pass?"
From Liu Hongji's words, he knew that it was not a large army approaching the border, but Xiao Han's heart was still beating fast! He seemed to have expected something, his eyes were staring at the darkness in the distance, and even his breathing was weak.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer to the camp. After a while, Liu Hongji even felt that he could see the faint black shadow on the horse's back!
"Whoever he is, let him go first!"
He gritted his teeth, and just when he was about to order the crossbow to fire, a familiar voice suddenly came from the horseback!
Seeing the vaguely shaking figure in front of him, Yu Chigong summoned all his strength and roared out the words he had been chanting all the way! The loud voice spread far and wide in the quiet night!
"What?!"
Hearing these words, Liu Hongji, who was originally so nervous, his eyes almost popped out of his head! His raised hand was trembling in the air as if it had been struck by lightning!
"Hahahaha! Xiao Hou! Where is Xiao Hou? We have won! A great victory!"
Yuchi Gong ignored the crossbows aimed at him and rode his horse past Liu Hongji like a gust of wind. The muddy water kicked up by the horse's hooves even splashed Liu Hongji's face!
"Win? Win?" Xiao Han stood under the awning, his whole body felt bad!
Although he had prepared countless times in his mind, when the news actually came, Xiao Han still felt that it was all so unreal.
"Master Hou! We have won! A great victory!"
Xiaodong and Lengzi were so happy that they danced around the fire, and their big feet almost kicked the fire away!
"Slow down! Slow down! I'm a little dizzy!" Xiao Han finally calmed down. He touched his head and looked at Yuchi Gong who jumped off the horse. "Where is King Qin? Is he okay?"
Yuchi Gong also saw Xiao Han at this time, gave him a heavy fist, and then laughed loudly and said: "It's okay! The armor on King Qin's body is strong enough. After taking so many blows on the battlefield, he only suffered minor injuries.
Not much blood was shed! People are looking at Dou Jiande now!"
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay!"
After hearing Yu Chigong's words, Xiao Han felt that the last stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and then, an indescribable joy finally gushes out from the bottom of his heart!
"Dou Jiande was defeated! Wang Shichong, shouldn't you surrender too? The Tang Dynasty is finally about to usher in its most glorious moment?"
My mind can't help but think of the Tang Dynasty in history, which was glorious in all nine provinces and invincible in the world!
Xiao Han felt hot all over his body!
Having been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, he is no longer the rootless duck floating on the water! In this country that has been destined to be extremely powerful since its birth, there are his brothers, his elders, and his lover.
There is also a dream for him to fight for!
He loves Datang!
Liu Hongji ran over from behind, regardless of the dirt on his body, he hugged the absent-minded Xiao Han and roared!
In the past few days, the pressure on him was no less than that of Xiao Han. Now, it is finally over!
Yuchi Gong had already celebrated once when he was at Hulao Pass, so he was the calmest person at this time.
Seeing that Xiao Han was rolling his eyes at being beaten by Liu Hongji again, he quickly rushed forward and rescued Xiao Han.
Of course, his method of rescuing people has always been simple and crude. This can be seen by looking at Liu Hongji who started rubbing his hands and feet again and whining in pain!
Rubbing his fists, Yu Chigong glanced at Liu Hongji and said with a smile: "Xiao Hou, I am bringing someone else with me this time. King Qin said you might be useful!"
Xiao Han rubbed his throat and coughed: "Ahem...who?"
"Wang Wan!" Yuchi Gong pointed at Human Dao who was surrounded by three cavalrymen.
Xiao Han frowned and looked: "Is it him? Isn't he Wang Shichong's nephew?"
Xiao Han also knew something about this Wang Wan.
Although this man's name looks a bit like a woman, he is one of Dou Jiande's most trusted ministers!
And what’s even more strange is that Wang Wan has another identity, that is, Wang Shichong’s nephew!
But I don’t know how he came to be a minister under Dou Jiande and became so prosperous. This is really puzzling.
"Why did you bring him here? Could it be that... you want to persuade him to surrender?"
Looking at this man, Xiao Han scratched his head, but after a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up!
He seemed to understand what Li Shimin was thinking!
"Come here! Call those with loud voices over with loudspeakers. Let's go and tell Wang Shichong the good news now, so that he won't have to sleep!"
After laughing a few times, Xiao Han looked like a fox that had stolen a chicken. Xiaodong's back felt cold when he saw it.
"I could have fallen asleep originally, but after being tormented by you like this, I'm probably going to lose sleep..."
