Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 92 The Night before the Storm (3)

"Forget it, the body is useless, I'm afraid it will become a drag on the elders." Lian Hongye also responded with a smile, his face could not hide his tiredness. It was obvious that he had been fighting barbarian guerrillas day and night these days and had never had a rest.

Le Zhong said: "The general has made the old man feel ashamed. The old man can suppress the locating spell for the general for a while."

"That's not necessary. The horse thieves have suffered a lot these days, and they stopped chasing the general. They concentrated on surrounding the mountain, just waiting for us to run out of food."

"Then how long can our food and grass last?"

"Sent a few teams out to find nearby villages to borrow food, but it didn't do much good. In five days, we'll probably only be able to kill war horses."

When Le Zhong heard this, his face darkened: "General, killing a horse is too bad for morale, there is really no other way, why not fight?"

"Not yet." Lian Hongye shook his head.

"What is the general waiting for?"

"To break the deadlock, a miracle is needed."

"Where did the general's surprise soldiers come from?"

"I have sent messages to Han Ye, Tian Shui, and Cheng Guo General Sun Liang, and we are waiting for changes."

Le Zhong looked distressed: "General, I heard that the northern countries are in a difficult position to protect themselves. Can you really expect other countries to send troops for Ju?"

"Elder, don't worry," Xue Yi, who had been standing aside, interjected at this moment, "Not for Ju, but for General Lian."

Le Zhong was startled: "Oh?"

Xue Yi patiently explained: "At the beginning when General Lian helped Tianshui break the siege, Yi Guo always kept this situation in mind and cooperated with us in military dispatching. Even if Yi Guo has no spare power, at least Immortal Master Yin will always hurry up when he gets the news. come help.

As for General Sun Liang of Chengguo, he is not just good at looking at horses. He is able to lead Chengguo's military and government because he has a deeper attainment in the art of looking at people.

Seven years ago, when General Lian and I met General Sun Liang for the first time, General Sun grabbed General Lian's hand and said, "The survival of the Northern Kingdom depends on the General, but there is an order, and no one dares not to obey."Since then, I have indeed tried my best to cooperate with my second guard's summons.When we sent them a message, we didn't mean to go to the doctor, but we were sure. "

"Oh!" Le Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, "So, we really still have a chance of winning?"

"Not necessarily." Lian Hongye said solemnly, and said in a deep voice:

"Entrusting your life to others is hard to guarantee. Now we are trapped in Xueling, but we don't know what happened outside, whether there are other forces operating in Leizhou, whether the barbarians have other backs... ...In the final analysis, we are too short of sources of information. In the end, we can only leave everything to the destiny."

"Destiny..." Le Zhong sighed with emotion, and then the five people in the room fell silent.

Will God really have mercy on this land that has suffered so much?

After all, can there be a son who breaks the game?
"Report—!"

A loud shout came into the room, and the five people were shocked when they heard the sound. They saw the tall and strong Chen Wufu directly broke into the stone room, rushed to Lian Hongye, knelt down and saluted:

"Report to the general, two of my subordinates, Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng, came from the Leizhou Association, and said that they have important military information to report to the general!"

The five of them took a breath of air at the same time.

Leizhou meeting?Le Zhong turned his head nervously to look at Lian Hongye, and the latter stood up straight away, even trembling a little.

"Come in!" Lian Hongye shouted.

Thus, Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng appeared at the door.

The two of them, one had just finished using the Eight Gods Falling Palace Jue, and the other had just used the "Shocking String" twice, and followed Lin Fang's men through the long and winding cave, past the formation of troops in the cave, and came here. At this moment, they are all exhausted, and their armor is dirty and torn.

However, when they saw Lian Hongye, the two teenagers immediately regained their spirits, walked forward slightly swaying, took out Bai Chengshuang's letter, handed it over and said: "General, Gu Feng, chief of the second guard, Ye Ziqi returned to the team, and brought a letter from General Baichengshuang, the commander of the three guards, please take a look at it!"

Lian Hongye took the letter, scanned it at a glance, and said, "You came from Leizhou Association, and you will tell me in detail what you have seen and heard along the way!"

"Yes!" Ye and Gu agreed, and then they started talking about the barbarian siege of the Leizhou Society, and talked about Changqin's death in the city, Qi Lao's message, night robbery, Hanshi's seizure of power, sending letters across thousands of miles, and fighting in Xueling...

The two came together one by one, and with the evidence of Baichengshuang's letter and the Wuyi sword with Yin Changqin's spiritual power, they explained everything clearly to the people in the house.

The hardships and changes along the way, the dangers along the way, made many masters in the room startled, and Cheng Ba muttered in a low voice: "My boy, this 16-year-old kid is stronger than when I was 26."

And the most important news, of course, is the support of the three guards.After repeatedly confirming the military situation, Lian Hongye closed his eyes silently and fell into deep thought.Xue Yi knew that Lian Hongye was feeling sad when he was like this.He has a long friendship with Yin Changqin, but after all, the war has turned around, so he has to think about countermeasures first.

Suddenly, Lian Hongye stood up abruptly, took a step forward, and lifted both Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng by the arms. Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng were startled and at a loss.And Lian Hongye took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:
"You saved this war! Ben will immediately contact General Shuang with a secret technique. Ju Guo will always remember your contribution, so let's go rest first."

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng burst into tears.After a while, they said in unison: "Thank you, General!"

The leaders next to him all laughed, thinking that after all, they were young at heart, and couldn't hide things in their hearts, so they cried when they were told a word.It's no wonder that with General Lian's words, the future of these two young people will surely rise to the sky, and I must be happy in my heart.

Chen Wufu helped Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng and left from the stone room.

"Look how excited you are." The old demon head felt his heart surging in Ye Ziqi's inner sea, and said mockingly: "This battle is not over yet, no matter how good Lian Hongye promised, you have to have your life to accept it." .Your body is in urgent need of recuperation now, don't be so happy that you can't sleep for a while."

"You are the only one who talks too much, old monster." Ye Ziqi retorted in a low voice: "I am not happy about the future, nor is it because this military situation is important enough. I am happy, and I have done my best for this matter."

In the stone room, Le Zhong looked at Lin Hongyu: "These are the two children that Xu Jing mentioned?"

Lin Hongyu replied: "Yes."

"The future is boundless." Le Zhong looked at Lian Hongye with emotion: "The general has real talents! In the future, the general might as well send these two children to me. The young people on my side People, whoever you like, the general can choose as much as he wants!"

Lian Hongye calmed down at this moment, and said, "Speaking of Xu Jing, where is he now?"

"The old man doesn't know either, because he is the most familiar with the Northern Kingdom. Xia Kui gave him a secret order not to act with us."

Lian Hongye sighed: "If I really hand over the person to the elders, I'm afraid that when it comes to this kind of employment, the noble faction will still hold on to him."

Le Zhong hurriedly said: "General, we are a well-known and righteous family, how could we do such a thing that steals people's favor."

"Oh, the elders can make a decision." Lian Hongye said: "The matter of reinforcements has finally been settled. But from what I just said, there is one more thing worth noting."

"Oh?"

"The barbarians drove a large number of Rakshasa birds on Tianshui City. This is very strange."

Le Zhong asked: "I don't know much about manipulating monsters. However, there seem to be many rumors among the barbarians fighting with monsters?"

Lian Hongye shook his head: "No, barbarians are also human beings. It is reasonable to tame one or two monsters, but the temper and mind of monsters are different from wild beasts after all. How can anyone tame a large group of monsters to help attack the city? I have a feeling in my heart." It’s an answer, but if that’s the case, it’s troublesome.”

"The general may wish to elaborate."

Lian Hongye frowned slightly and said: "There is a legend among the barbarians that every hundred years, a special child will be born on the grassland. He is born to understand the language of all things, communicate with animals, and even control wild animals. .

If you practice Taoism, you can even control monsters.The barbarians called him the 'beast spirit'.It is said that every time the beast spirit appears, it will be accompanied by the prosperity of the barbarians, so it is also regarded as the greatest auspiciousness by the barbarians. "

"There is such a thing?" Lin Hongyu asked in surprise.

Le Zhong cast a glance: "Is there anyone in the Song Dynasty who knows more about the barbarians than General Lian?"

Lin Hongyu hurriedly said: "This junior made a mistake."

Lian Hongye signaled that it was okay, and said: "The beast spirit has not appeared for a long time, and the deeds are hard to distinguish. I just thought that the strange thing about the Raksha bird can only be explained by this kind of weird legend, so I thought of this.

However, in the folk tales of our Song Dynasty, there were actually shadows of beast spirits.The hero Hailibu, he is a beast spirit recognized by the barbarians. "

"The man who turned into a stone...isn't it just a story?" Xue Yi was also surprised this time: "General, if someone among the barbarians can really detect our whereabouts in the mountains through wild animals, it will be troublesome. We should How to do?"

"In short, let's pass on this matter first. It shouldn't be difficult to identify this kind of person. The auspiciousness of the barbarians... that is the scourge of our northern kingdom. If you encounter it, you will be killed."
