In the cold wind, Lin Zhao led more than 10,000 cavalry back to Tianchi Ridge. Chu Huaixi personally welcomed them down Beishan. Just at the foot of the mountain, when Chu Huaixi saw this cavalry, he couldn't help but sigh. There were more than 10,000 people, almost no one.
Everyone was covered in blood. Even Chen Yu, who was wearing white armor, was covered in blood. Moreover, both the people and the horses were exhausted and had almost reached their limit.
"Chu Shuai."
Lin Zhao took the lead to dismount from his horse and salute, and Huang Tingyu, Chen Yu, Zhi Zhi, Muzhen and others also dismounted one by one.
"alright."
Chu Huaixi patted the young man on the shoulder, and looked a little distressed at the tiredness on his face, and said: "Just go home, just go home, go back to the camp, I have already ordered a sumptuous lunch to be prepared."
"Chu Shuai..."
Lin Zhao frowned and said: "Yuji divided his troops into six groups to hunt, so we have been on the run. There is no way to bring back the bones of the fallen soldiers..."
"It's fine."
Chu Huaixi's eyes turned red: "There are loyal bones buried everywhere in the mountains, they can understand."
"Thank you, Chu Shuai..."
Lin Zhao was a little lonely. He got on his horse and followed Chu Huaixi, Huang Tingyu behind him, and didn't speak again along the way. Although nearly one hundred thousand demon troops were killed in this battle, his own losses were not small, twenty thousand.
The cavalry went out to fight, but only more than 13,000 people followed him back. Among them, the two-wing Suzaku Battalion suffered the most serious losses. How should he explain to Young Shiyu?
…
For lunch, we ate in the Tianchi Army camp. There were tables after tables on the huge campus. The returning cavalrymen all felt like they were surviving a disaster, with smiles on their faces.
A table was also set up in the commander's tent. Chu Huaixi personally hosted a banquet for Young Master Yu, Huang Tingyu, Lin Zhao, Chen Yu, and the two women from the Suzaku Camp, Captain Wanfu. Everyone was tired and usually did not like to drink.
Lin Zhao also took a big sip, his eyes were red, and he looked at Chu Huaixi and said: "We failed to rendezvous with the Yunzhou Cavalry. When we came back... Wuhou Yue Hao had already died in the battle."
"I know."
Chu Huaixi looked gloomy and said: "In the early morning, when I felt a wisp of martial arts dispersing in the east, I knew that a Tianyuan realm warrior died in battle and martyred his country. Besides Wuhou Yue Hao, who else could it be?"
"sorry……"
Lin Zhao looked at Young Master Yu and said: "Commander Young Master, I took 17,000 Suzaku Cavalry to the north. When I came back, they had lost more than 30%..."
Shao Shiyu pursed his red lips and said, "How about killing the enemy?"
Lin Zhao frowned and said nothing.
A female captain held her fists and said: "Commander of Qi Palace, I have not calculated the enemy kills in detail, but the demon tribe mobilized a total of four military tents to pursue us continuously. Master Lin Zhao led our 20,000 cavalry to pass through seven times.
In the blazing pine forest, we constantly avoid the demon clan's soldiers and wait for opportunities to attack their vital points, killing at least...more than 100,000 enemies!"
"In that case, why do you need to apologize?"
Young Master Yu looked at Lin Zhao and said: "Lin Zhao... you have already achieved something that even famous generals in the world may not be able to achieve. Why do you still blame yourself so much?"
Lin Zhao frowned: "I originally thought... there was a plan to kill through two military tents and meet up with the Yunzhou Cavalry. Once the westward passage of the Yunzhou Cavalry is opened, and with our cover, maybe Wuhou Yue Hao will not
Even if they died in battle, we could still save tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Yunzhou cavalry, which is a pity..."
"That's enough!"
Huang Tingyu grinned: "Do you really think that you are the reincarnation of the ancestor of the soldiers? A mere 20,000 cavalry want to defeat the eight military tents of the demon clan with more than one million elite soldiers? Besides, the demon clan still has so many people in the upper five realms.
The big demon is sitting here. If we really kill him, none of us may be able to come back. What kind of cultivation is Wuhou Yuehao? He is an eleventh-level Tianyuan warrior. Even he died in battle. You can imagine how terrifying he faced.
exist."
"Old Huang is right."
Chu Huaixi nodded: "You have already made great achievements for the human race. There is no need to blame yourself anymore. You must know that your manpower will eventually be exhausted."
"I know, Xie Chushuai."
The young man nodded and stopped talking. He just kept taking down his chopsticks to eat. He was really hungry.
…
"Dongfang, is there any new situation?" Chen Yu asked.
"some."
Chu Huaixi said: "Just an hour ago, we received a Feiyu message from frontline spies. After Wuhou Yuehao died in battle, his bodyguard battalion escorted his body and caught up with the Yunzhou cavalry. Lin Wuyang
, Li Xuanji, Ning Ze, and Wen Tingwan led the remaining 150,000 Yunzhou cavalry all the way east to meet up with the tens of thousands of armors led by Yang Zhi, and then broke out all the way south, but the demon and demon armies
They have been continuously outflanking us in a roundabout way south, and we don’t know how many of this group of people will be able to return to Guyu Pass alive.”
"We did the best we could."
There was a trace of desolation in Shao Shiyu's beautiful eyes, and he said: "It is so majestic that 530,000 Yunzhou cavalry and 400,000 northern battle armor were defeated in the northern border. They killed the enemy thousands of miles away and laid down millions of corpses. How majestic...
"
Huang Tingyu crossed his arms: "Yue Hao is indeed a famous general and the mainstay of the armed forces. It's a pity that Marquis Wen's appeasement strategy finally angered him..."
"The situation on the distant battlefield is no longer within our control."
Chu Huaixi frowned and said: "I hope more of these Yunzhou cavalry and northern armors can return to Guxiaoguan alive..."
"That's right."
Young Master Yu nodded.
Lin Zhao was silent. To be honest, he just wanted to go back to the mountain top to practice boxing and be with Xiao Shitou and Xiao Jiu'er.
…
At dusk, with the assistance of Gao Zhi, Luo Yang, and Muzhen, Lin Zhao finished handling all the military affairs of the death camp, then rode back to the mountain top garden, changed out of his bloodstained shirt, and put on
Dressed in a green shirt and carrying a small stone, they went to the school to pick up Xiao Jiu'er. When she saw Lin Zhao coming back, the little girl was so happy. She gave Lin Zhao a maltose and asked him to hold it in his mouth.
.
Lin Zhao bit the maltose, smiled, and watched the little girl "acting like a monster".
Xiao Jiu'er jumped up and stood on the fence by the roadside. He held Lin Zhao's shoulders with one hand and wiped the corners of his eyes with the other. He smiled and said: "Brother Lin Zhao, you must not have slept for many days. You have dark circles under your eyes."
Out."
"I know."
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Then let's go home quickly to eat and sleep?"
"Um!"
The little girl nodded repeatedly: "Brother Lin Zhao is sleeping, and I want to copy my homework in brother Lin Zhao's room."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
As a result, Lin Zhao once again lived a normal life in the Mountain Villa. He went to the military camp to perform his duties during the day, picked up Xiaojiuer from get out of class at night, then ate, practiced boxing, and warmed up his sword spirit. All the training went on step by step.
It's dusk this day.
Lin Zhao tucked the commander's battle helmet under his arm and led his horse out of the camp when he saw Huang Tingyu walking from the direction of the town carrying a pot of wine and a roast chicken.
He immediately rushed forward to intercept it.
"etc!"
Huang Ting felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy and hurriedly stuffed the wine and roast chicken into his arms: "What do you want, kid?!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, I won't steal your food!"
Lin Zhao laughed, stepped forward and put his arms around Huang Tingyu's shoulders, saying: "Old Huang...Brother Huang! I have something I want to ask you about, and I hope you will give me some advice."
"Okay, you say it!"
Huang Tingyu patted his chest and said with a smile: "There is nothing on the snowy Tianchi that I don't know about."
"OK."
Lin Zhao nodded: "It's about Feiyu's letter. Brother Huang, I've only heard about Feiyu's letter, but I don't understand what it is. Can you tell me? Just tell me.
What needs to be done to build a flying fish bridge between the two places? What conditions are needed and how much does it cost?"
"You kid..."
Huang Tingyu narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "Why, after traveling south, I found a close friend outside? I can't help but feel the pain of lovesickness. I want to send a letter to Yu Yan, but is it possible to communicate secretly?"
"Pooh!"
Lin Zhao jumped three feet high, his face turned red: "Can I be that kind of person?"
"Yo yo yo, I was right!"
Huang Tingyu grinned: "Could it be that girl Lin Wanhua from the Great Wall of Fusu? It is said that her swordsmanship and beauty are unparalleled in the world. She is as cold as frost and as proud as a cold plum. If any man can marry Lin Wanhua and become a Taoist couple, he will be a Taoist couple for the rest of his life.
If your life is not in vain, is it important to seek the Tao or not, to reach heaven or not? It’s not important!”
Lin Zhao had a black line on his face: "You damn girl, just tell me directly, how to build a flying fish messenger?"
"It's easy!"
Huang Tingyu said: "To send a letter from Feiyu, first of all, there must be a well-trained golden fin flying fish. Secondly, there must be an earth master who is good at constructing formations. The earth master must plant the talisman mark for the golden fin flying fish.
After that, the earth master created two talismans. No matter how far away the talisman is, the golden fin flying fish can send messages between two places. In addition... raising golden fin flying fish is not cheap. The golden fin flying fish not only needs to be fed with fish food, but also
We also need to nourish it with the aura of Feiyu Qian, about one Feiyu Qian a day!”
Old Huang looked at him sideways: "But for a girl of Lin Wanhua's level, one flying fish a day is still worth it. If you really don't have any money, your old brother Huang will pay for you. It doesn't matter. I just want her to accompany my younger siblings when they come over in the future."
Brother Huang, I'll be fine with just a few drinks. Don't worry, you, Brother Huang, are a gentleman. You will never touch your legs or even touch your hands!"
Lin Zhao gritted his teeth and held down Lao Huang's head: "Huang Tingyu, are you so shameless?!"
"Oh, this is urgent!"
Huang Tingyu chuckled: "You are indeed right, aren't you? It is indeed Lin Wanhua, this little girl. I said you are a good boy. Other warriors can kill people with one punch, but you are better. You can make a beautiful daughter-in-law with one punch. Huang Tingyu
Brother, although I am a swordsman, I still admire you so much!"
…
Fusu Great Wall, city head.
In the cold wind, a beautiful woman is sitting on the mottled city bricks, dressed in white, holding a wine flask in her hand. The Great Wall of Fusu is freezing cold, but this sip of wine can bring a little warmth.
Lin Wanhua raised her head to drink, revealing her long, snow-white neck, another stunning view of the Fusu Great Wall.
"Ah sneeze..."
After putting down the flask, she suddenly sneezed and frowned, "Is someone thinking about me?"
She was thoughtful and looked towards the north again, but this time she no longer looked at true north, but slightly to the west. There, there was a former holy land of the human race, called Snowy Tianchi!
