In the swamp, a broken flower huddled in the muddy water. The petals were already dirty, but the rhizome was still stubbornly standing up, trying to regain its youth.
Qiu Linhe gasped and reluctantly sat up from the ground, leaning on a fallen horse corpse. He took off the wine bottle from his waist and poured it to his mouth. After shaking it several times, only two or three drops of wine with a fishy smell came out.
"Here." Wu Gen threw his wine bottle over.
However, Qiu Linhe kicked him away with disdain, looked at the soldiers from the North who were surrounding him, tilted his head and looked at Wu Gen who was covered in blood, "Don't be so pretentious here, you can kill or cut into pieces as you please, my Qiu Lin family has nothing to fear." Dead coward."
Wu Gen sighed and squatted in front of the opponent with a knife, "Young Master Qiulin, surrender. I know you are not afraid of death, but if you don't surrender, your subordinates will resist and will be killed. How difficult is it to surrender?" You don’t want the Qiulin family to be completely wiped out."
Qiu Linhe's face turned pale, he looked up at the sky and murmured.
After a long time, Qiu Linhe stared at Wu Gen coldly and said proudly, "It is impossible to surrender, especially to a humble human race like you. As for the Ji family, it is even more impossible. Why should the foundation laid by my ancestors be surrendered? Give it to his family, and still kneel in front of Ji Xin like a dog. Well, enough people in the Qiulin family have died this time, so let me give them my head in exchange for their lives. This is my private seal, With this seal, they will surrender to you."
With that said, Qiu Linhe took out a seal the size of a child's fist from his arms and threw it to Wu Gen. Then he started to rummage around on the ground, pulling out a few arrows scattered on the ground, and finally found a standard feather arrow of the Flying Tiger Army.
After looking at Wu Gen, Qiulinghe smiled miserably and stabbed the arrow into his throat.
Gululu, blood mixed with foam poured out of Qiu Linhe's mouth. His mouth was wide open, his eyes rolled up, and he made a whooshing sound from his mouth. This is when the body cannot breathe and is desperately trying to suck in air to save itself.
Grasping his throat tightly, Qiu Linhe fell to the ground in pain, grabbing his neck with both hands until it was bloody and bloody. It would be difficult to die this way for a while, especially for someone with such advanced cultivation as him.
Wu Gen looked a little sad. He stood up and walked in front of the opponent. With a flash of his sword, he chopped off Qiu Linhe's head. "The thief's head was passed around everywhere and the Flying Tiger Army was surrendered. The body... was buried." Bar."
As soon as Qiu Linhe died, the situation on the swamp side suddenly reversed. Shui Congyue led people to surround Gu Gan's troops, while Wu Gen rushed to the west to intercept another coalition army. For a time, the entire Northern Army and the Murong family were counterattacking.
Seeing that the situation could no longer be reversed, Gu Gan had no choice but to lead his men to turn around and return to the camp. After finally being able to fight the enemy in the field outside the fortified camp, Wu Gen was willing to let go of such an opportunity. He immediately ordered together with Murong Yuqiang that the two families fight back across the board. He even took the lead in blocking the west side of the swamp, preparing to block the coalition's way back to camp.
Although Li Xin signaled Shui Congyue several times to join him in attacking Gu Gan, the latter ignored him and instead led his men to repeatedly attack the coalition forces. With his temperament, there was no winner in the battle with Gu Gan just now, so he would not do anything to bully the minority.
For a time, the coalition's formation was in chaos and they fled in all directions. Gu Gan could only try his best to gather his troops. It was no longer possible to return directly to the main camp to the west, so we had to fight and retreat south.
The entire wilderness was filled with dark and chaotic soldiers. As the coalition forces retreated, the ambush turned into a chaotic battle. There were people everywhere, and the soldiers of the Northern Army kept waving their bloody weapons. The sound of fighting and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the world.
From time to time, people fell down, and there were shouts of surrender everywhere. The coalition soldiers who could not escape put down their weapons and allowed the Northern Army and the Murong family to roughly tie them together.
Before the war, Wu Gen told his subordinates that they should capture more prisoners. After the Northern Army fought continuously, the casualties had reached an intolerable level. The soldiers in these families can become a good source of soldiers without training again, and Wu Gen will not let them go.
Seeing that the coalition forces were about to be eaten away bit by bit, suddenly there was a noise from the south of the coalition camp, and people and horses were rushing towards the camp from the south.
Wu Gen looked up from his horse and could not help but frown slightly. These people should be the Southern Army, and they seemed to be Yuan Xin's men. However, looking at the scattered military situation, it seems that someone has driven them here. have
A group of troops came out from the Confederate camp and tried to meet Yuan Xin.
Soon, a large number of coalition soldiers appeared behind Yuan Xin's men.
"Stop the pursuit." Wu Gen quickly ordered his men to stop and line up to defend against the enemy. Because the men and horses led by Gu Gan collapsed, the pursuing Northern Army also lost its formation. If these men and horses from the south were allowed to counterattack, it would be difficult to say whether the existing results could be preserved.
After getting a chance to breathe, Gu Gan quickly rushed towards the camp with his remaining men and hid in the rolling military stronghold.
Soon, the coalition soldiers who came from the south did not try to attack the Confederate army. Instead, they quickly entered the camp with the support of their own family members.
Seeing a lull in the fighting. Wu Gen ordered the Northern Army to quickly clean up the battlefield, especially the grain and grass escorted by the Qiulin family, and be sure to pack them properly so that they could be used by the Northern and Southern armies.
During the battle in the swamp, these grains and grass were snatched by the Murong family from the guards arranged by Qiu Linhe, and even the prisoners were handed over to the Northern Army, which was an advantage to Wu Gen.
A vigorous battle came to an end. Neither the Northern or Southern Army nor the Allied Forces started fighting again, but each quietly licked their wounds.
Murong Yuqiang stationed the nearly 10,000 troops he brought with him at the East Camp, but did not bring them to the Southern Army's garrison. This move made Wu Gen a little surprised. After all, according to Li Xin, Murong Yingge is likely to become the prime minister of the new dynasty after this war. Wouldn't it be better to hand over so many troops and horses to Ji Ye? A generous gift from the family to the Ji family.
After everything was settled, Wu Gen, Murong Yuqiang, and Li Xin rushed to Ji Ye's tent with Qiu Linhe's head in hand.
After not seeing each other for many days, Murong Yuqiang has become much calmer. She has taken off her armor and resumed her female attire. Riding on horseback on the flowery grassland, the bright red skirt is flying in the wind, and the ribbon is fluttering. She was already pretty and graceful, and was made even more graceful and colorful by the bright purple and red eyes.
Murong Yuqiang urged her to dismount and ran faster, and Wu Gen quickly followed. When the others saw this, they knew that the two had something to discuss, so they consciously stayed away.
"How long will the fight last?" Murong Yuqiang asked softly, looking straight into the distance.
"It's almost time. The coalition forces are almost exhausted. They are only relying on strongholds to defend themselves. If food and grass are cut off this time, they won't be able to last for long." Wu Gen was holding a riding crop and his head was wrapped in gauze, looking a little funny.
"If the Ji family wins in the end, where will you go?"
"I'm leaving. I plan to take advantage of the Ji family's new dynasty and be unable to take care of it. I'm going to loot the families that participated in the rebellion and move to the south of the province."
Murong Yuqiang looked back at the direction of East Day Camp and whispered: "You might as well take some of the troops I brought with you. They are going to be handed over to the Ji family anyway. It doesn't matter if you have more or less."
Wu Gen turned to look at the other party with a surprised look on his face, "I don't know what you think about giving your own troops to a governor of the province instead of to the Ji family who is about to become the monarch."
"Why, you don't dare to ask for it? Are you afraid that the Ji family will have to settle with you later?" Murong Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and stared at Wu Gen coldly, raising her chin to reveal her fair and slim neck.
"If you want it, why don't you want it? If you don't see me grabbing prisoners everywhere, you are a fool if you don't show up. As for what the Ji family thinks, that's for the future. Let's get over the current difficulties first." Wu Gen shook his head mockingly and got off his horse. The child quickly stepped down a few wild flowers.
Soon, the two fell into silence again. They really didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
"What are you going to do if the Ji family becomes emperor? After all, the one who is most likely to be crowned prince is Ji Chen. You and your sister..." Wu Gen finally ran out of words to say.
Murong Yuqiang frowned lightly and looked at the coalition camp in the distance, "What can I do? Either travel around, or see if I can enter the Heavenly Palace. At worst, I just stay in the clan and don't go out. Is it possible that you have more Good idea."
Wu Gen was silent. He really didn't know how to answer. Ji Yan might have to follow the Fearless Army, so she couldn't take Murong Yuqiang with her.
"Oh, forget it, there are not many men who are responsible." Murong Yuqiang glanced at Wu Gen with a resentful look on her face, "Honestly, what are you going to do if Ji Chen and Ji Ye fight for the throne. "
Wu Gen glanced at the other party warily and said hesitantly: "You won't participate in the fight for the throne. If you fail in this kind of thing, you will die and your family will be destroyed. Although your Murong family has always made long-term bets, this time There is nothing you can do about it, you can only choose one."
"I'm asking about you." Murong Yuqiang's voice suddenly became louder.
"If it really comes to this situation, of course I will turn to Ji Ye. Even if everything fails, I will take him away." Wu Gen lowered his voice.
Murong Yuqiang suddenly felt a little depressed. She lowered her head and played with the horse's mane. "I just imagined that Ji Ye might be too young to rise to the top. He has no ambitions, a weak temper, and no desire for power."
Ji Chen is different. Under the secret operation of my ambitious sister, he has people in the clan, as well as in the Southern Army. Even though Yuan Xin and Ji Jing are now under Ji Ye, they have received a lot of favors from Ji Chen and my sister, so they are destined to belong to them.
The only shortcoming of Ji Chen is that he cannot practice cultivation. Like Ji Bi, if he ascends to a high position, some people may be dissatisfied. Moreover, my sister has not been able to give birth to a boy and a girl so far. If Ji Chen is established as the crown prince, her status will be in danger. It's impossible to say that Ji Xin will abolish her position and replace it with someone else.
However, Ji Chen and my sister have a deep love for each other and will never allow such a thing to happen. If the two of them are unable to give birth to an heir who can practice cultivation, Ji Xin may reconsider who should succeed the throne, and then Ji Ye's opportunity will come. Therefore, if you don't want Ji Chen to take over smoothly, you have to make a fuss from here. "
"Why are you talking to me? I am a human being and have no intention of participating in this matter." Wu Gen's face became more and more solemn. No wonder when he went to see Ji Chen last time, Ji Jing reminded himself to get closer to Murong Yanyu. It turned out that this was the case Well, Murong Yanyu can at least be half of Ji Chen's family.
"Haha, why are I telling you this? Because you are the person Ji Ye can really attract as foreign aid and have a lot of troops." Murong Yuqiang sneered and gently combed her hair, "Sometimes, it's not you who wants to avoid You can stay away from these things by driving. I'm just telling you this to prepare you."
"By the way, this bracelet was given by Ba Hong. Is my thing so worthless? You can throw it to whomever you want?" Murong Yuqiang then threw the bracelet back to Wu Gen.
Wu Gen hurriedly caught it, and Wu Gen couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You girls from the Murong family are really more difficult to handle than the last one."
At this moment, someone chased him from behind. When he turned around, he saw it was Hu Jia.
