The grief in Zhai Jiao's heart was simply beyond words.
If she had planned more carefully, acted more meticulously, or even acted more promptly and decisively, perhaps this tragedy would not have happened.
It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Just when Zhai Jiao and Xu Ziling were both immersed in deep self-blame and grief, a carefree and silly laugh suddenly rang out.
"Hey, you two... aren't you crying too early?"
"Ahem... I'm not dead yet!"
Kou Zhong's tone was extremely cheerful and he was in a very good mood, as if he had no worries about his health at all. This made Zhai Jiao and Xu Ziling even more worried.
What...what is going on!?
Could it be that... Master Zhong couldn't accept such a blow and went crazy?
Suddenly, the looks that Xu Ziling and Zhai Jiao gave Kou Zhong became somewhat strange. Zhai Jiao even raised one hand and waved it in front of Kou Zhong's eyes.
"You two bastards!"
“I’m not crazy!!!”
Seeing this, Kou Zhong almost died of anger.
"Can you guys expect me to be okay?"
Hearing this, Xu Ziling smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and said helplessly:
"But how can we feel at ease with you like this now?"
"It's just a minor injury, isn't it? What's the big deal? Let me recover for three to five days, and then we can have a good drink, and I'll be able to jump around again."
Kou Zhong smiled nonchalantly, his eyes revealing a hint of confidence, and said with a relaxed look.
The more Zhai Jiao listened, the sadder she felt. She couldn't help biting her thin lips. Tears flashed in her eyes. She shook her head with a bitter look on her face and whispered:
"Ah Zhong, don't worry!"
"We will definitely heal you, no matter what the cost!"
But after hearing what Zhai Jiao said, Kou Zhong just shook his head, then grinned and said with a confident smile:
"Don't worry! I understand the worries you two have."
"It's just that my injuries are naturally incurable for ordinary mortals, but don't forget that our master is not a mortal at all."
Chapter 786 The crisis is approaching, the Jianghuai Army is coming!
Kou Zhong's words were like a thunderclap, instantly waking up Xu Ziling and Zhai Jiao.
yes!.
Is our master just an ordinary person?
This kind of injury may be incurable by secular doctors, but for you, it should be easy to cure, right?
During these days of contact with Su Liu, Kou Zhong and others were increasingly amazed at the magical powers of their master, who was almost omnipotent and even comparable to the immortals in myths and legends.
Kou Zhong's injury may not really be a problem for you, sir!
Thinking of this, Xu Ziling slapped his forehead fiercely and laughed happily:
"Xu Ziling, ah Xu Ziling, you are such a fool!"
"Hahaha, how could I forget about you, sir? As long as you are willing to help, no matter how serious your injury is, even if you lose half your life, he will definitely be able to heal you!"
Zhai Jiao was also overjoyed and delighted.
Just now, both of them were immersed in regret and sorrow, and they even forgot that they had a powerful and omnipotent immortal master!
As long as Kou Zhong is brought back to the Taoist temple alive, any injury can be cured!
Thinking of this, Xu Ziling could no longer sit still. He stepped forward, carried Kou Zhong on his back, and rushed back to the Taoist temple as soon as possible.
"Let's go, without further ado, let's go back to the Taoist temple and ask the master to cure you!"
Zhai Jiao also nodded in agreement.
"That's right, Ah Zhong's injury can't be delayed, he must go back and heal as soon as possible!"
Seeing the two people anxious about their injuries, Kou Zhong couldn't help but grin. A bit of warmth quietly emerged in his heart, and his eyes became softer.
It feels so good to have someone care about you.
Just as the three were about to leave, the ground suddenly trembled.
The sounds of horse hooves, shouts, and noise were mixed together. At the same time, a large amount of smoke and dust suddenly rose in the distance, as if a large group of people and horses were rushing towards this place.
Seeing this, Xu Ziling's face suddenly changed, his eyes revealed a hint of horror, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"not good!"
"This is the main force of the Jianghuai Army coming!"
After saying that, Xu Ziling narrowed his eyes, concentrated his mind and calmed his breath. His ears moved slightly, and he listened carefully to the sound coming from afar.
"There are too many people, I can't hear clearly... There must be an army of tens of thousands of people!"
After a moment, Xu Ziling opened his eyes, his expression became even uglier, and there was a rare hint of fear in his eyes.
An army of tens of thousands of people!
It must be that all the soldiers in the Jianghuai camp have been mobilized!
Although these soldiers were not as powerful and well-equipped as the elite Jiazi Battalion led by Du Fuwei, they had the advantage of being numerous, almost like an ant colony.
Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant. What's more, Kou Zhong and others are far from being elephants now. At most, they are just a few little white rabbits.
"Damn it!"
"How can they move so fast?"
At this moment, even Zhai Jiao couldn't remain calm. She couldn't help but curse, her eyes full of disbelief.
Du Fuwei had just died less than a quarter of an hour ago. It was impossible for the Jianghuai army to get the news so quickly. The only possibility was that Du Fuwei sent people to ask for help in the middle of the battle!
At this moment, Kou Zhong suddenly laughed bitterly, as if he had thought of something, and said weakly:
"I see..."
"Fu Gongju...it must be this guy...I was wondering why I didn't see him just now...it turns out that this old fox ran away halfway and called in the Jianghuai army to help!"
Thinking of this, even someone as daring as Kou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little scared.
If he had not made up his mind just now and made the final desperate attack, he would have successfully killed Du Fuwei, but let him successfully delay until now.
Then, the situation is bound to be reversed.
Kou Zhong and others will change from hunters to hunted prey, and their final outcome will be either being captured alive by the enemy or dying in a bloody battle.
"What do we do now?"
Feeling the smoke and dust getting closer and closer in the distance, Kou Zhong coughed twice, his expression looking extremely complicated, and asked Xu Ziling and Zhai Jiao beside him.
At this moment, even though Zhai Jiao and Xu Ziling were both extremely intelligent, they could not figure out how to successfully escape from the siege of tens of thousands of troops.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat desperate.
Kou Zhong licked his lips and asked Zhai Jiao cautiously:
"Ah Jiao, can you still control the Divine Eagle?"
"If we can borrow the Divine Eagle, we might be able to escape successfully!"
Hearing this, Zhai Jiao shook her head helplessly and said with a wry smile:
"You also know that the Divine Eagle is a stubborn donkey. It won't listen to anyone except its master, Sir. I had to drag Sister Su Su along with me and beg Sir for three chances to drive the Divine Eagle."
"Just after the third time of using it, the Divine Eagle disappeared without a trace. I can't find any trace of it now!"
Chapter 787: The situation is reversed, with ups and downs!
At this moment, in the deep mountains and old forests, the team of Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Zhai Jiao was facing countless pursuers, but they were exhausted and had already lost their great general Kou Zhong.
What is even more despairing is that the Divine Eagle, the three men’s last resort of retreat, has also disappeared without a trace.
There is no way to heaven, no door to earth.
The three had just experienced the joy of completing the mission, but a quarter of an hour later, the situation was reversed and they fell into danger of being surrounded by a large army.
One cannot help but sigh at the strangeness of life.
"What should I do now?"
In this desperate situation, even Kou Zhong, who was always optimistic, was a little dumbfounded.
"I can't think of a solution..."
Zhai Jiao shook her head bitterly, not knowing what to do.
Although she is smart, she is young after all and cannot make careful plans.
Now, there is really no way out!
At this moment of despair, Xu Ziling suddenly took a deep breath, his eyes revealed a bit of determination, and he said in a deep voice:
"Ah Jiao, take Master Zhong away, I'll lead the pursuers away!"
"No!"
"How can this be done?"
Kou Zhong reacted extremely strongly and refused outright.
Given his temper, he would rather die in battle than let his brothers take risks.
But this time, Xu Ziling shook his head, his eyes were very firm, and he said in a deep voice:
"If we all go together, the final outcome will be annihilation. If we act separately, there may still be a glimmer of hope."
"Don't worry, I have He Guang Tong Chen with me. I am much faster than you. Don't worry about my safety. We will definitely survive!"
Xu Ziling smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted Xu Ziling's shoulder, and said in an unquestionable tone, very seriously:
"This time, you must listen to me. Go!"
Xu Ziling is a gentle person, and he remains calm in times of crisis, but once he gets serious, he carries an indescribable aura that is enough to convince people.
Although his words failed to convince Kou Zhong, Zhai Jiao agreed with them very much.
In this desperate situation, this is the best solution.
Otherwise, the only outcome that awaits them is total annihilation.
Zhai Jiao nodded, her eyes clear, and whispered:
"A Ling is right. We can't all die here. At least one of us has to run away and ask the master for help. Maybe we can all survive!"
What Zhai Jiao said does make some sense.
The two dragons are carrying the secret of immortality and Yang Gong's treasure house. No matter whether it is Du Fuwei or Fu Gongju, it is impossible for them to kill them easily. They must force them to tell the secret.
And this is Xu Ziling's chance to survive.
"Gillian is right!"
Xu Ziling nodded and smiled slightly.
"I'm going to deal with that old fox, you guys hurry up!"
After saying that, Xu Ziling turned around without the slightest hesitation and ran towards the direction where the pursuers were coming from, leaving behind only a determined, brave and resolute back.
At the back, Zhai Jiao also acted decisively. Regardless of Kou Zhong's objection, she carried him on her back and strode towards the path deep in the forest.
The three-man team that had just gathered together split into two groups again.
But this time, unlike in the past, the two dragons, who had never been separated since they met at a young age, left each other for the first time in their lives and embarked on different paths.
...
Xu Ziling's figure flashed, like a breeze passing through the mountains and forests. Soon, he arrived near the many pursuers.
After seeing the full picture of the pursuers, even though Xu Ziling had a rough guess about the number of pursuers, he still widened his eyes and was shocked to the point of being speechless. He muttered to himself subconsciously:
"Fu Gongju, Fu Gongju, you really think highly of us..."
But the densely packed army gathered together like a torrent, and wherever they passed, they chopped with swords and axes, and trampled with people and horses, and actually cut a path through the dense forest.
