"Master Lu, you are very polite. You have important responsibilities, which are related to the life and death of the frontline soldiers. I only tried my best, so you don't need to keep it in mind!" Qin Tian stepped forward to help Lu Yusheng up and said.
"I didn't expect that the young hero would have martial arts skills at such a young age. He is truly a young hero with a bright future!"
Lu Yusheng took a close look at Qin Tian. The former's gentle and fair face made him exclaim. In normal times, who would have thought that such a young boy could be a strong martial artist, and the martial arts he used were also unusual.
His martial arts skills can be compared to each other, which is really enviable and jealous.
Lu Yusheng has been stuck at the sixth level of martial arts for many years, and there is still no sign of breaking through the bottleneck. It seems that he is very close, but it is like seeing flowers in the fog, seeing but not touching. This feeling is really gripping.
mad.
Qin Tian blushed a little when he heard this. He still knew how much he weighed.
If it weren't for Yu Chen's support, his strength wouldn't be enough, let alone repelling those gangs. Whether he could leave alive was a question.
The two exchanged some polite words, but Situ Jing'er interrupted them and asked, "How is the situation on the front line now?"
Lu Yusheng shook his head and replied, "After losing more than ten cities, Old General Liu went to the front line to sit in battle. With Old General Liu, the battle situation became much more stable, but our army was still at a disadvantage.
The ground has increased its troops, and Jin Batt is still in command. I heard that this man has improved a lot in cultivation in recent years, and he has the potential to surpass Old General Liu. Besides..."
Lu Yusheng hesitated to speak. Situ Jing'er frowned and asked, "Besides, what?"
"I just heard from those thieves that Xinye Kingdom has a strong King of Martial Arts! I don't know if it is true or not." Lu Yusheng still remembers what Wu Wei said, and he doesn't know where this person learned it.
The news, judging from the way he vowed, it didn’t seem like he was trying to scare him. If it was true as he said, Daning would be in danger!
"You believe the words of those thieves. They are just empty words to scare you!" Situ Jing'er shook her head and did not take what Wu Wei said to heart. In order to break the escort team's will to resist, she couldn't make up anything.
!
"What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is that she is too worried about her humble position!" Lu Yusheng did not dare to argue with him and quickly responded.
Lu Yusheng, who has been in the officialdom for many years, understands the importance of observing what is happening and what is happening. No matter what, you cannot argue with your boss based on reason. That is the stupidest behavior.
"Then what will you do next?" Situ Jing'er asked
Lu Yusheng looked outside the canyon where the smoke had dissipated. He thought for a moment and said, "After cleaning the battlefield, I will continue on my way. There is still nearly half a month away from the front line. I dare not delay. If this batch of supplies cannot be
If you arrive at the front line on time, I’m afraid your humble position will be at risk!”
Liu Yunfei's military law is strict, and he will deal with military officers who fail to enforce the law. He is famous for being selfless. Even if his own son comes into contact with military law, he will treat them equally. As the saying goes, "Kindness does not lead the army, emotion does not establish affairs, and justice does not manage finances."
A good person cannot be an official!' Without some iron-blooded skills, you cannot build an army that is good at conquering and fighting.
It is precisely because of this that we can be victorious in every battle and be invincible wherever our troops point.
"Given your current situation, what should you do if you encounter any danger again on the road?"
Lu Yusheng and the other four escort officers are all strong martial arts masters, but they all suffered serious injuries. The martial arts masters of those gangs just tried their best to attract death. It is conceivable that the injuries were serious, and they did not have a period of cultivation.
It cannot be recovered, and its strength has been greatly reduced.
Looking at the other soldiers, about a quarter were killed in the battle, and hundreds of other soldiers were seriously injured. Many had broken arms and legs. Such a convoy was really worrying.
"Yes, you are also injured, and there are so many wounded soldiers. If those gangs are ambushing you on the road, how can you be their opponent?"
Situ Jing'er also felt worried. These soldiers and supplies were the property of their Situ family, how could they let them go unchecked.
"What do you mean by Princess Yi?" Lu Yusheng bowed his hands and asked for instructions.
Situ Jing'er and Qin Tian looked at each other, and Qin Tian said, "If Mr. Lu doesn't mind, Qingtian is willing to escort you to the front line before leaving!"
"Young Master Qing, are you kidding me?" Lu Yusheng asked, unable to believe his ears.
Qin Tian smiled and said, "You look at me, do you think I'm joking?"
Lu Yusheng was overjoyed. Originally, he was still worried about encountering any troubles on the journey ahead. But now that he was fine, with a strong martial artist accompanying him to escort him, the supplies on this front line must be foolproof, which was something he could only hope for.
"Lu Yusheng thanks Young Master Qing in advance!"
The four escort officers clasped their fists in thanksgiving
"You're welcome, just call me Qingtian from now on. I really don't dare use the word young hero!" Qin Tian quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm just doing my little bit for the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the front line. It's not worth mentioning!"
If this supply trip was not related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, as well as easing the embarrassing situation of his grandfather Liu Yunfei, he would not have participated in it because of his homesickness.
"As expected, I didn't give you the guardian necklace for nothing." Situ Jing'er said with a playful smile.
"As long as the supplies arrive at the front line safely, I will definitely take credit for brother Qingtian. I believe that General Liu will definitely use you, brother. Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, and it is a great opportunity for brother Qingtian to make contributions!"
Naturally, Lu Yusheng didn't believe what the princess said about her personal bodyguard.
It can be easily distinguished from the dialogue and attitudes between the two of them that the relationship between the two of them is more like that of friends, which is why he extended an olive branch to make contributions to the country and hoped that Qin Tian would serve the court.
By then, his contribution will naturally be considerable. He has recruited a strong martial artist, which is something that even Xuantian Sect is jealous of!
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your kindness. We will talk about this later. In my opinion, let's settle the injured soldiers first and then clean up the battlefield!" Qin Tian frowned and said.
Fame, fortune and success are nothing to him.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he has clearly understood that having supreme strength is the last word.
Just like now, as long as you have strong strength, fame, fortune and wealth can be obtained effortlessly.
What Lu Yusheng said was exactly what Situ Jing'er was thinking. If Qin Tian could serve the country, things would be much easier to handle in the future. As for what it was, it was not difficult to see from her affectionate eyes.
out.
If Qin Tian had saved her several times before and had a crush on the former out of gratitude, then this display of his skills definitely captured the girl's throbbing heart.
"That's what Brother Qingtian said!" Lu Yusheng suddenly understood that this was not the time to talk about other things. There were still many immediate matters to deal with. He immediately ordered, "Send the order, count the losses, and put the bodies of the sacrificed brothers on the spot.
After the burial, the others will set up camp here, rest for one night, and then rush on their way tomorrow!"
"Yes, sir!"
Orders were issued one by one, and the three escort officers each took the uninjured soldiers and began to divide their work and work together.
Thousands of corpses outside the canyon were dragged away and buried one after another, leaving only dried blood stains on the ground, proving that a tragic fight had just occurred here. These soldiers who died in battle left the world in obscurity. They
They paid the price with their lives, and in the end, only a pile of yellow mud covered them up, which makes people sigh!
After everything was taken care of, it was already afternoon. Hundreds of triangular tents were set up on an open plain in another place, as well as carts full of supplies.
Those seriously injured soldiers who were unable to move have also been escorted to the nearest town for resettlement.
In addition, Lu Yusheng also sent several soldiers back to report the ambush that happened today, and the other was to confirm the identity of Princess Situ Jinger. The proof of a folding fan really made him uneasy.
But if you think about it carefully, Qin Tian is a strong martial artist and really has a purpose to rob supplies, so there is no need to resort to these small tricks.
Because no one here was his opponent, but he, who was always cautious, decided to report all this to his superiors.
Five days later…
Tongcheng, Daning, is the strongest city in the south. It is surrounded by mountains and is well defended. Since the fall of more than ten cities at the border, it has become a vital strategic location. It can be said to be the throat of Daning.
, at this time, Daning's most elite army of 300,000 troops was stationed.
The majestic city wall of Tongcheng reflects the vicissitudes of time, like a raging Vajra sitting here, blocking the enemy with impregnable strength.
Once this place is lost, there will be no danger for the Daning Kingdom to defend, and the door will be opened. Then the cavalry of the Xinye Kingdom will drive straight in, and at least half of the country will be swallowed up by whales!
It can be said that this battle is related to the foundation of Daning Kingdom, and there is no room for any mistakes.
Within the towering high walls, Tongcheng, which was once bustling with traffic, was in a state of depression. The silence was frightening, like the calm before the storm. Most of the people had already moved their families away from this important border area that was about to be baptized by the flames of war.
city.
The United Front Work Department's camp is located in the city, with routes extending in all directions to facilitate the transmission and receipt of battle reports.
There was a tense atmosphere everywhere in the camp. Teams of energetic soldiers were on duty. There was no unnecessary expression on their faces, only their serious and determined eyes.
"General, the people from Xuantian Sect have arrived and are waiting outside the tent!"
A man of about forty years old hurriedly rushed into the camp of the Supreme Command of the United Front Work Department. If you look carefully, you will find that this man's appearance is somewhat similar to Qin Tian's mother Liu Xu.
The camp was very simple. Apart from some tables and chairs, there was only a large sand table with small red and blue flags densely planted on the sand table, representing the distribution of the troops of Daning Kingdom and Xin Ye Kingdom.
