"Lu Dongbin" looked up at the sky, a heavy rain hitting his face, and sighed: "Is this God's will? Alas..."
Regardless of whether it was the Donglu Army or the camp, both sides were soaked by the heavy rain and were in a very embarrassed state. The offensive of the Donglu Army was also weakened a lot due to the heavy rain.
At the Zheng camp, the deputy generals on the left and right held up umbrellas for Li Dingxing, but they were not wet yet. Xiang Lian'er was already soaked outside the camp, and the beautiful mountain peaks looked particularly tall and straight. Dongfang Zhong was also battered by the rain. He wiped the rain from his face, feeling helpless.
"Mr. Qin, you..." Dongfang Zhong looked at "Lu Dongbin" and hesitated to speak.
"Lu Dongbin" shook his head slightly, stamped his feet vigorously, flew into the sky, and disappeared. Soon, another figure fell down and turned into Qin Kunhai.
The art of magic lies in deceiving others, and even deceiving yourself. Only by letting yourself believe that you are a god descending to earth can you deceive others. But when it rains heavily, how can I deceive myself and others when I am soaked in water without doing anything?
How can there be any immortals in the world who are exposed to the rain?
Qin Kunhai was helpless, and Dongfang Zhong was helpless. Qin Kunhai, who had returned to his original state, saw that the rain was getting heavier and it was difficult to fight, so he turned around and left without saying a word.
Dongfang Zhong was determined to lay down the camp, but the rain was too heavy, and the surrounding Donglu troops all looked embarrassed. He had no choice but to order the withdrawal, and he personally stopped the retreat, staring at Xiang Lian'er who was also soaked, and looked at her. Silent.
Xiang Lian'er ignored Dongfang Zhong and flew into the camp. Li Dingxing held her in his arms, took her into the handsome tent, and arranged to make a fire to keep warm.
Both the Donglu Army and the Huazheng Camp breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was difficult to hold weapons in such heavy rain, let alone fight. Fortunately, the coaches of both sides are not crazy enough to fight to the death.
Yi Xiaodao dragged Qin to Qian and hid under the lotus throne of "Guanyin Bodhisattva" to take shelter from the rain. Two of the five sons of the Kong family fainted, but it didn't matter. Three huge ink umbrellas were held up to block the water. The other heroes from various sects were not so lucky. They had nowhere to hide and had to stand in the rain and get wet.
"Master Yi...are we a little...disrespectful of the Bodhisattva..." Qin Changqian looked at the lotus platform above his head, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Why are you being disrespectful? Let me tell you, this Guanyin Bodhisattva is here to help the poor, you know? It specializes in helping the poor. Who are the poor? We are poor, so what's the harm in hiding from the rain?" Yi Xiaodao said to Qin. Just take a look and feel at ease hiding away.
Qin Changqian shook his head, pointed at Yi Xiaodao and said, "You... are not a commoner, you are an official."
"What's wrong with officials! Officials are human beings too!" Yi Xiaodao glared and yelled, "Let's hide here and not go anywhere!"
On the lotus platform, the "Guanyin Bodhisattva" was also soaked all over. Hearing the words of Yi Xiaodao, who was hiding from the rain under the lotus seat, he smiled and reached out to pick a green leaf from the willow branch of the vase and threw it out. The lotus platform was slowly lifted into the sky and disappeared.
The lotus throne flew away, and the two looked up at the sky. They saw a huge willow leaf slowly falling down and resting on their heads, replacing the lotus throne and continuing to protect them from the rain.
"What am I talking about? Guanyin Bodhisattva is here to help those who are suffering!" Yi Xiaodao grinned, waving to the outside and said, "Quick, everyone set up camp quickly, getting wet like this is not an option!"
Yi Xiaodao and others set up camp on the spot, while Dongfang Zhong led the army to the north of the city and set up camp in the north of the island city. At this point, Yi Xiaodao, Li Dingxing, and Dongfang Zhong formed a tripartite force in the east of the island city.
The sky was getting dark, and at night, the rain was still pouring down.
In the commander's tent of the Huizheng camp, Xiang Lian'er sat back on the bed, a quilt covering her whole body, blocking the spring scenery that should have been there. Li Dingxing sat by the fire and helped Xiang Lian'er bake her clothes.
"I don't know what the situation is like at Yi Xiaodao's side. I didn't expect Dongfang Bell to be able to summon so many troops. I wish I had known we could bring more people from Nanhuai..." Xiang Lian'er said while huddled in the quilt.
Li Dingxing's hands were burning. He was not as restless as he was during the day. Instead, he smiled happily and said, "Whatever, Yi Xiaodao is here anyway. Just let him take care of everything. He will definitely have a way."
Xiang Lian'er tilted her head and smiled: "Why do you seem to know him better than me?"
"The feeling is just a feeling that as long as he is here, nothing will be a problem." Li Dingxing said with a silly smile.
"Ahem, I guess you have a conscience and didn't say anything bad about me behind my back." There was a cough outside the curtain door, and someone opened the curtain and got in. It was Yi Xiaodao.
"Ah!!!" Xiang Lian'er shrank into the bed and said angrily: "Why didn't you inform me in advance? You just walked in!"
Li Dingxing stepped forward and grabbed Yi Xiaodao's collar with one hand: "Tell me, do you want to take advantage of my wife?" Although he was asking questions, there was no anger at all, and he looked like a smile but not a smile.
When the two were wandering outside, Yi Xiaodao had been threatened in this way by a family, but the appearance of the wife of that family was really hard to compliment. Li Dingxing had teased Yi Xiaodao for several days about this matter. At this time, Li Dingxing said these words, which was a reminder of the past.
Of course, Yi Xiaodao understood what Li Dingxing meant. He gently pressed Li Dingxing's hand, shrugged and said, "Are you afraid to read it? It's not like I haven't seen it before~"
"What did you say!!!" Li Dingxing was really shocked when he heard this. This time he grabbed Yi Xiaodao with both hands and said, "Speak clearly to me!"
If his wife had been seen long ago, no one would be able to bear this tone.
"Oh, you two, stop making trouble and let's get down to business." Xiang Lian'er got out of the quilt. It was so cold in the winter. It turned out that she was wearing a cotton coat underneath. Her scream just now was just an instinctive reaction.
The two stopped playing around, and the three of them sat down around the fire. Yi Xiaodao took the lead and said: "I only brought 20,000 people with me this time. The Shangwu Camp and Yulin Army totaled 10,000 and are still on the way. Wang Xuan and Xue Mang are leading them. Dongfang Bell has nearly 100,000 troops, what should we do?"
"Then you don't have a single person around you now? Is it safe?" Xiang Lian'er asked worriedly.
"There's no need to worry. Qin Changqian is with me, and I also have a big killer. It's no problem to save my life in critical moments. The newly brought people won't do anything to me, but if we We can't win, but it's hard to say..." Yi Xiaodao couldn't guarantee how loyal these Donglu gangs would be.
It is true that they are all from well-known and upright families, but it is such a well-known and upright family that makes Yi Xiaodao worried. At the critical moment, perhaps they had not surrendered to Yi Xiaodao's gang, but now the bandits in the camp were reassuring.
"By the way, where is that girl Fu Qing? This little girl is very good at lightness. I asked her to report the news first." Yi Xiaodao thought of Fu Qing and asked aloud.
"We've been chatting for a long time and now you think of me!" Fu Qing appeared at some point, sitting next to Yi Xiaodao, with her head resting on Yi Xiaodao's shoulder. A lotus petal slowly dissipated in her hand and turned into dots of starlight.
Xiang Lian'er looked at the sudden appearance of this girl, especially the way she was leaning on Yi Xiaodao's shoulder, which made her very uncomfortable: "Move your head away, now!"
Fu Qing glanced at Xiang Lian'er and smiled slightly. Not only did she not leave, but she hugged Yi Xiaodao's arm tightly: "What if I don't?" Fu Qing asked the prime minister himself. He knew the world's intelligence very well, so he naturally understood Xiang Lian'er and Yi Xiaodao. Xiaodao has a sworn brother-sister relationship, and he also understands why she is fighting against Yue'er.
But just as Xiang Lian'er was a little disgusted with Fu Qing, Fu Qing was also very unhappy with Xiang Lian'er's targeting. Fortunately, he saved her life during the day! Deliberately behaving intimately with Yi Xiaodao made Xiang Lian'er angry.
"Let's talk about business! What's going on with the Dong Japanese people?" Yi Xiaodao is good at making fun of the situation. Originally, he had nothing to do with Fu Qing, and he didn't take Fu Qing's behavior seriously at all. The most important thing at the moment is the war situation, so he said To be honest, if it hadn't been for the rain today, Yi Xiaodao wouldn't have been sure he could have walked a few rounds in front of the "Guanyin Bodhisattva".
The feeling of oppression is too strong!
"By the way, the Eastern Japanese! I sent Fan Jun to lead the Nanhuai army to resist the Eastern Japanese, but there is no news yet, and I don't know what is going on there..." Li Dingxing said.
"Is it just Fan Jun?" Yi Xiaodao asked with a frown. He was not worried about Fan Jun's betrayal. He was not such a person. It's just that Fan Jun only knows how to fight and kill, and is not good at using his brain. It's okay to let him charge into battle, but it will probably be bad if he is left alone.
"I also called Chen Guang, Feng Nan and the others, so there shouldn't be much of a problem." Li Dingxing's old Nanhuai troops were all piled up on the coast to stop the Japanese.
Yi Xiaodao didn't know Chen Guang or Feng Nan, but since Li Dingxing could call them by their names, they should be people close to them. Since Li Dingxing could trust them, he could trust them.
"If the Dong Japanese people don't have to worry, what should Dongfang Zhong do..." Yi Xiaodao's brows had not relaxed since he sat down.
"Hey, Yi Xiaodao, aren't the people you brought here all from Donglu? Since the people on your side are from various sects, and Dongfang Zhong's soldiers and horses have been summoned from all over the country, why not follow the example of Chu and Han's Battle of Gaixia? ? Let your troops call their friends and persuade his troops to surrender? What do you mean, besieged on all sides?" Xiang Lian'er suggested.
"Hey, you can also use your brain? It's rare!" Yi Xiaodao was taken aback and blurted out.
Xiang Lian'er's hand slowly touched "Nianjun" who was standing on the side.
Li Dingxing shook his head and said: "Dongfang Zhong's military spirit has not dissipated yet, and he still has fighting spirit. Being surrounded on all sides is hard to achieve a miraculous effect. If it is good, then that's it. If the Donglu Army counterattacks, then the gain will outweigh the loss... By the way, you just said , are Shangwuying and Yulin Army still on the way?"
"Yes, Tan Ma came to report that due to the heavy rain, Shangwu Camp and Yulin Army were unable to catch up. Now they have joined forces and are setting up camp thirty miles east of the island city." Yi Xiaodao said.
"Shang Wu Ying... Yu Lin Army... Shang Wu Ying... Yu Lin Army... What do you think of this plan?" Li Dingxing lowered his voice and expressed his thoughts to several people.
Yi Xiaodao's eyes lit up: "Wonderful! Why didn't I think of that! Miss Fuqing, could I bother you to go away again?"
Fu Qing took out a white lotus from his arms and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter!"
