Chapter 216: The Battle of the Desert (Part 2)

Even if twilight is not here at this time, the sky and the earth are still as dark as dusk. In the howling wind, every step forward becomes extremely difficult, the breath is wrapped in gravel and dust, and the lungs are faintly painful. The blow of the defeat and the extremely harsh environment are intertwined, making this messy and yet The huge team became more and more silent and wilting, just following Hu Dahan and fleeing westward with one last breath. As long as they can smoothly pass through the Hehe Desert, then there will be a ray of life.

It's just that God didn't intend to give them this opportunity. The increasingly frantic wind blew more sand and dust and made their vision more blurred. The team began to have injured and weak people left behind, and some people began to curse viciously, but when everyone was panicking, some people discovered that Hu Dahan was gone, and he disappeared with his horse that can travel thousands of miles. trace.

Naturally, it is impossible to be buried by the wind and sand. The only possibility is that he ran away again with his cronies-treating the scattered army behind him as a burden, lest the goal be too big when the Chu army chases it.

"Bah!" An adjutant swore fiercely, and he rode his horse to the leading position and continued to lead the crowd. But before they could get out of two miles, they almost found out in despair that they were still guarding a Chu army not far in front. The black gold battle flag that could not be seen was hunting in the sky. Without armor, but the black suit and iron whip made people even more frightening-in the big camp of Xilan Kingdom, no one did not know Xiao Lan's name.

Those who wanted to surrender had already knelt down when He Xiao led the army to break through the camp. Since this group of people followed Hu Dahan and killed them, they all had a heart to return to the desert. Therefore, before the deputy commanded the order, the soldiers of Xilan Kingdom had already killed them with their swords. They didn't want to defeat the Chu army, they just wanted to make a **** path for themselves.

Zhou Yao also saw the clue, holding a big sword in his hand and cursed: "Where is such a good thing, if you want to fight, you will assemble an army to invade my border, and if you lose, you will run away without paying the price. You really think you are a nine-day fairy When going down to the world, everyone must bear with it and let it happen!"

Xiao Lan said, "I'll leave it to you here."

Zhou Yao didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"

"Hu Dahan is not there, and Yelvxing is not there." Xiao Lan clamped his horse's belly and let Feisha Red Jiao rush into the formation, grabbing a soldier from Xilan Kingdom and asking. The other party hated Hu Da at this time. Han was so bitter that he gritted his teeth, so he confessed the direction of his escape quickly, and asked Yelvxing again, but shook his head and said that he didn't know, he hadn't seen him show up after the war started.

"My lord, my lord was killed by Hu Dahan! Just this morning!" Seeing that a large knife had been cut in front of him, a fugitive also shouted, driven by the desire to survive, "I heard what Tongmu said, He is a confidant of Hu Dahan!"

Xiao Lan raised his hand and rolled him in front of him: "Speak clearly!"

"I...I don't know the inside story." The other party spoke in jerky Chinese, and was in shock. "The king ordered the army to assemble this morning, but then he disappeared. It was Hu Dahan who ordered the war. Some people say that the king Already dead, in the hands of the cemetery warrior, Hu Dahan always wanted to seize power."

died? Xiao Lan threw the soldiers in his hand to the adjutant, and drove the horse to chase Hu Dahan. Whether the matter was true or false, the answer could only be found by finding him first.

The sky is getting darker, and the sand is getting smaller. Lu Chai leaped up from mid-air, cutting the wind with a sharp blade in his hand, rolling up a powerful internal force in his white sleeves, and shook the tall cemetery warrior in front of him by two steps backwards.

"Where is Hu Dahan!" Lu asked.

The lonely cemetery warrior roared and raised his giant puff fan palm to face him. Seeing that his eyes were muddy and yellow, his mouth was humming and vague and unable to speak clearly. He seemed stupid and innocent. , Flew up and kicked it aside, then turned over and chased it forward.

At this time the wind and sand had completely stopped, and the sun was only left with a round red circle hanging in the west, dim, gray, and lifeless.

Lu Zhui crossed a low and undulating sand dune and took out the compass in his arms, trying to judge whether the weird daylight in the sky was an illusion. But as soon as he lowered his head, there was a sudden gust of wind behind him. The three cemetery warriors swooped in from different directions, trying to knock him to the ground just like before stunned Yelvxing.

With a backhand, Lu chased one of the samurai back two steps, then he took the opportunity to shrink back and avoid the attacks of the others. After standing still, he realized that he had to face far more than the three in front of him, and beside Hu Dahan not far away, there were at least a dozen warriors in the cemetery, all of them with savage expressions and staring eyes. In addition, there are more than a dozen archers who bend their bows to the full moon and are facing him with sharp arrows.

"Master Lu." Hu Dahan had the upper hand at this time, but he didn't rush, and even laughed out: "Why, this is because I thought I was too embarrassed and wanted to give someone a farewell gift?"

He said that, the rest of the guards laughed slyly, and although the cemetery warriors had low intelligence, they still learned the same way, and they were extremely wretched and joyous. Lu Zhui's mood is very complicated. Such a group of people who are so embarrassed are still thinking about trying to usurp the throne and become the emperor. If it is passed out, Da Chu will be equally embarrassed.

"Kill him!" Hu Dahan ordered with a sharp look and a deep voice. Lu Zhui jumped up almost at the same moment, with the Breeze Sword in his hand sweeping away the cemetery warrior in front of him with cold light, and his other hand raised five Reaper nails, and flew straight to Hu Dahan's gate-this is The kung fu that Xiao Lan taught him was also a hidden weapon that Xiao Lan personally created for him.

Hu Dahan didn't expect that he would shoot so quickly that he couldn't dodge it. He simply grabbed an adjutant next to him and threw it in the air, knocking down the Imperius nails. When he was young, he was also regarded as the first warrior of Mobei, with infinite arm strength, and in the screams of the adjutant, the other entourages and guards unconsciously took two steps back, lest he was unlucky in his next turn.

Lu Chai raised his sword and fell, cutting off the rain of arrows, his posture light and unharmed. But the warrior who was besieging him in the cemetery was shot in half. Even though he had a thick skin and didn't know the pain, he still turned and yelled at Hu Dahan dissatisfiedly, as if he was about to tear him apart. Hu Dahan had to order the archer to suspend shooting, otherwise it would be tantamount to asking for trouble if these idiots were really mad.

Lu Zhui defeated more than ten cemetery warriors in succession. Seeing the last one left, Hu Dahan became flustered. He turned to use his whip and wanted to escape. However, he suddenly shot a sharp sword against him, under the shadow of the dark sky. With the smell of rust, it went straight through his throat.

With blood spurting up, Lu Zhui pressed the cemetery warrior to the ground and watched Hu Dahan plant his head from his horse, and in the smoke and yellow sand not far ahead, a vague black figure was riding his horse. The surrounding sparsely seemed to follow a lot of people.

Yeluxing? Lu Zhui was slightly surprised. He also heard the news on the battlefield that the king of Xilan Kingdom had been killed by Uncle Wang. Now it seems that it should be just a rumor. Namur watched Lu Chase from a distance, and said harshly: "We captured him and took him back to be a hostage."

"I have a serious injury in my leg. You are not his opponent." Yelvxing threw the big bow in his hand to him, turned the horse's head and ordered, "Go!"

"King!" Nam'er felt regretful, but turned around to see another cemetery warrior approaching Lu Chai quietly, and he was secretly happy, thinking about picking up a ready-made bargain.

"Stop!" Lu Chai yelled, trying to ride a horse to chase Yelvxing, but he was hugged from behind unsuspectingly. The imprisonment was like a tightening iron chain and steel ring. There was also severe pain between the bones. Behind him was a hehe venting sound, and half an ugly face came over. It turned out that it was the cemetery warrior who had just been alone.

Being held tightly by him and unable to move, Lu Zhui felt annoyed in his heart, knowing that he shouldn't have let the monster go hastily in order to buy time. Seeing that he had bitten off with his mouth wide open, with sticky saliva hanging on his dark yellow teeth, Lu Chai suddenly closed his eyes, and tried to run again, but he was knocked hard by the opponent's hard as iron head. As soon as it gets dark, he lie back in a daze.

The cemetery warrior grabbed his hair with one hand, revealing a white porcelain neck. He opened his mouth and was about to take another bite of flesh, but suddenly his whole body became stiff. After a long time, he slowly lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his chest. That half-life-threatening iron arrow that did not know when to penetrate the heart.

Xiao Lanfei dismounted and pulled the cemetery warrior away, holding Lu Chai and patted his face: "Mingyu?"

Nam'er was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly rode away and disappeared into the lacquered night.

Lu Chai was dumbfounded by him for a long time, before he opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, his mouth curled: "The arm is broken."

"Take you back." Xiao Lan helped him up, "What else is uncomfortable?"

"Yeah..." Lu Zhui promised stupidly, and lay down on his shoulder for a while, and suddenly gave a shock, "Yelüxing!"

"Where is he?" Xiao Lan asked.

Lu Zhui pointed his other hand, but immediately grabbed his sleeve and said faintly, "No going."

Xiao Lan glanced at the endless wind and sand, and then at Lu Chai, whose eyes were closed in his arms, and stretched out his hand to pinch him from shoulder to calf, making sure that only after his arm was injured, he would carefully hug him on his horse. , With a gallop towards the camp.

"Mingyu!" At this time, Lu Wuming also happened to arrive on horseback. Seeing Lu Zhui leaning against Xiao Lan's arms, he was shocked and immediately asked, "Where is he injured?"

"The left arm is fractured, and there is a bag on the head. It is estimated that he knocked his head on a stone to make him unconscious." Xiao Lan slapped the person sideways and picked him up. "It's just right. Senior will take him back to the barracks first."

"What about you?" Lu Wuming asked.

"Although Hu Dahan died, Yelvxing ran away." Xiao Lan said, "If you let him go back to Mobei, there will be endless troubles."

"Are you alone?" Lu Wuming said, "You are not allowed to go."

"He was betrayed by Hu Dahan, and there are not many guards around him." Xiao Lan handed him to Lu Wuming. "Senior, don't worry, I have my own measures. I will not be able to catch up and will not venture deep into the hinterland. I will return as soon as possible."

Lu Wuming wanted to say something, but Xiao Lan had already turned around and left. The Feisha Red Floodgate had four hoofs and stepped on the wind. Although his body was fat and fat, he seemed to be able to fly quickly in the sand. How could ordinary horses catch up? . Lu Wuming sighed deeply in his heart, then looked down at his pale-faced son in his arms. But none of this group of brats could be obedient and carefree.

"Drive!" Xiao Lan leaned on the horse, whistling in the air, and pulled the person in front of him from the horse. Namur rolled on the ground and shouted in embarrassment, "Protect the king! Kill him!"

The guards rushed forward, but where was Xiao Lan's opponent, they all screamed and fell to the ground without ten moves, Feisha Red Jiao continued to rush forward, and soon intercepted Yeluxing on the way. .

The sky was completely dark, and a bright moon hung high, shining the yellow sand into a silvery white. This scene was supposed to be lonely and silent, but at this time, it was disturbed by the blood and clank. The round moon scimitar in Yelvxing's hand was bitten by the black iron whip, and the tremor that sent him made his entire arm Started to numb. Xiao Lan suddenly exerted strength in his hands and dragged him off the horse, smashing a deep hole in the gravel.

Yelv Xing came under severe pain, unable to move, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He looked up at Xiao Lan, with a sorrowful smile in his eyes: "You won."

"It's not that I won, it was Da Chu that won." Xiao Lan threw him on his horse, and only replied coldly, holding the two horse reins with one hand, and turning back towards the rising moon.

The Chu army won a full victory in the Northwest War with only a few casualties. The morale of the soldiers was high, and the blazing bonfire almost concealed the light of the bright moon. The singing is loud and the human voice is noisy, only when passing by the medical account, will I deliberately lower my voice. Lu Chai was lying on the big bed with a piece of stuff on his forehead. The medicine smelled so strong that he almost vomited.

He weakly said, "Xiao Lan."

No one answered.

Also called: "A Liu."

Still no one answered.

After a while, he continued: "Old Li!"

Lu Wuming couldn't bear it and scolded angrily: "Even Lao Li remembers it, don't you know how to call you father?"

"..." Lu Zhui opened a small slit in his eyes and hummed, "Father."

Then he said: "Isn't Lao Li doing miscellaneous things? I'm thirsty."

Lu Wuming laughed angrily and poured him a glass of warm water. After watching it, he asked, "Does the head still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, I want to vomit." Lu Chai leaned back on the bed, "Where is Xiao Lan?"

"He's chasing Yelvxing." Lu Wuming said.

Lu Zhui opened his eyes suddenly, and his whole body became sober: "Go chasing Yelvxing?"

"Yes." Lu Wuming nodded.

Lu Zhui asked anxiously, "Who let him go, is he back?"

Lu Wuming looked at him for a moment, and wrote lightly: "Not yet."

Lu Chai beat the bed, opened the quilt and ran down: "I'm going to see General He!"

"What are you going to see General He? General He is still busy--" Lu Wuming slowly stretched out his hand to stop him. Unexpectedly, his son ran out without wearing his shoes. He was so fast that he was dumbfounded. He wanted to scold his mother, and then scolded him. The father-in-law, whom he had never met, is said to be a gentle and honest trader. How could he give birth to a bandit-like militant bear son, and by the way, he also damaged Lao Tzu's good son, and his brain hurts.

"Mingyu." Xiao Lan was taken aback when he saw his disheveled clothes rushing from afar, and hurriedly took off his cloak and wrapped the person in his arms, "What's the matter?"

Lu Zhui: "..."

Xiao Lan frowned and shook her hand in front of him: "Stupid again?"

Lu Zhui said, "You are back."

"Well, I'm back. I just finished taking the medicine for you from Xiaolan's medical account." Xiao Lan picked him up. "His head is injured and his arms are hanging. Why can you run out without wearing shoes?"

"Have you seen my father when you came back?" Lu asked.

"Of course I have seen it, and I also talked with the seniors for a long time about what you are going to eat after you woke up." Xiao Lan said, "There are not many fresh vegetables here, only some ground ear leaves. You are not allowed to feel bitter, go back to Yumenguan Later, I will buy you candy to eat."

Lu Chai put his arms around his neck and turned back, and looked at his father at the entrance of the camp.

Daxia Lu had pulled his grandson and stood in front of him. For the first time, he felt that this tall and strong body was quite useful.
