Yi Xiaodao led Manyong to the city gate. At the city gate, corpses were everywhere, and everything inside and outside the city was soaked in blood. Obviously, it was all caused by army-breaking ants.
"Huh, let's go." Yi Xiaodao breathed out gently, pulled Man Yong, stepped on the bones on the ground, and walked out of the city.
"Master...Master..." Man Yong called timidly.
Yi Xiaodao looked down at Manyong: "What? Are you scared?"
"Master, I... let's bury them...? So... but... pitiful." Man Yong said in a low voice.
Yi Xiaodao glanced around. There were more than a thousand bones on the ground, and many of them were entangled together. They were all buried. How could this be done? And if they are all buried, will they be buried until the Year of the Monkey?
Yi Xiaodao knelt down, looked at Manyong and said, "Don't worry, after the bad guys are beaten away, master will definitely bring you back and bury these people."
Man Yong also knew that burying them all was unrealistic, so he nodded and followed Yi Xiaodao forward.
"Master...Master, have you...have you ever...seen so many...people die before?" Man Yong continued to ask.
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "I've seen them before. I've seen more people die than this. What's wrong?"
"Why... why do we have to fight... a war?"
Yi Xiaodao thought for a while and didn't know how to explain it to his new apprentice. After thinking for a while, he said: "For ambition, for power, and for not fighting." He didn't know if Man Yong could understand.
Man Yong nodded thoughtfully.
The master and apprentice continued to walk forward. Suddenly, a Xigui Army soldier slowly crawled out of a pile of corpses not far behind them. Covered in blood and missing an arm, he looked really scary.
The Xigui Army soldier looked at Yi Xiaodao's back, slowly pulled out a broken gun from the pile of corpses, and threw it at Yi Xiaodao.
"Master, be careful!" Man Yong was young and had a sharp ear. He actually caught the attack from behind Yi Xiaodao before he could. He was so anxious that he didn't even stutter and shouted a warning.
Just as Yi Xiaodao turned around, he saw Man Yong jumping up and blocking his back.
"puff!"
The broken gun penetrated Man Yong's shoulder, and the force sent him flying away. Fortunately, Yi Xiaodao reacted in time, grabbed Man Yong, drew his sword with his backhand, and slashed out a stream of sword energy. Xiguijun was immediately split into two pieces by the sword energy, broken into two pieces, and fell to the ground, completely dead.
"Man Yong, how are you?" Yi Xiaodao quickly helped Man Yong sit down and checked the injury.
Man Yong was a child after all, and the shot penetrated his entire shoulder. He was so painful that his nose was filled with tears, but he didn't say a word.
"Teacher...Master. I...I...I'm fine...it's just...it hurts." In pain, Man Yong seemed to stutter even more when he spoke.
Yi Xiaodao looked at the broken gun and did not dare to pull it out. There was no treatment or medicine at the moment. If he pulled it out, he would probably bleed to death.
Yi Xiaodao pulled him up, carefully avoiding the wound, and carried him on his back. He scolded him distressedly: "You silly boy, what can you do to stop me? Can a broken gun hurt me, Master? Then I There’s no need to mess around anymore!”
Man Yong lay on Yi Xiaodao's back, and his broad shoulders made him feel much more comfortable: "Master...Master is great...I know...but I...I...can't let Master...get hurt. In case...in case..."
"Okay, okay, just say a few words." Yi Xiaodao didn't let him continue, and walked towards the original camp alone.
"Da da da…"
There was a brisk sound of horse hooves, and a cavalry group turned from the south of Rongcheng. Yi Xiaodao reacted quickly this time. He turned around and saw dozens of cavalrymen tiptoeing toward the east gate of Rongcheng.
"What's going on?" Yi Xiaodao was not very panicked. He was just riding a few dozen horses and taking ten thousand steps back. Even if he couldn't defeat him, he could still run away. So I watched the people coming quietly, waiting for them to approach.
The leader had a helmet on his head, and his appearance could not be clearly seen. When he took it off, Yi Xiaodao saw the lineup clearly, frowned slightly, and felt that it was very familiar.
The leader was the second son, Zou Tao. At this moment, he saw that Yi Xiaodao was covered in tatters and was carrying a man who had been shot in the shoulder and was even more tattered. He just thought that the two of them were ordinary people running for their lives in the city. He didn't pay attention to it and reined in his horse. Heading towards the camp.
Yi Xiaodao saw that even though the dozens of riders on the other side were from the Xigui Army, he did not take the initiative to provoke them. After all, he was still carrying a small wounded person on his back, and he had to take care of him regardless of himself.
Dozens of riders passed by Yi Xiaodao. As they passed by, Yi Xiaodao and Zou Tao looked at each other. Both of them felt that the other person was a little weird. Soon, the cavalry moved forward.
Yi Xiaodao carried Man Yong on his back, leaned against the roadside, and continued walking towards the camp.
After walking for a while, Yi Xiaodao saw Zou Tao and the others continuing to ride back. The two sides had to pass each other again.
"Second Young Master, what should we do with the two women we captured?" someone asked among the cavalrymen.
Zou Tao said with a hint of anger in his tone: "I have other uses. If you can't hold it in, I'll cut it off for you!"
The cavalryman closed his mouth, but seemed a little unwilling to give in. He muttered in a low voice: "I asked the woman in the Prime Minister's Pavilion and I don't know what it smells like..."
"Hey!" The war horse was frightened and neighed.
Yi Xiaodao stepped aside and stopped in front of the cavalryman: "What did you just say? Ask the woman in the prime minister's office?"
Yi Xiaodao's move not only forced the cavalry to stop, but also shocked the dozens of other cavalrymen. Everyone reined in their horses, stopped, and looked at Yi Xiaodao with evil eyes.
Zou Tao's horse took two steps lightly, blended into the cavalry, raised his ears, and listened quietly.
"You have to keep your eyes open when you go out to beg for food. It doesn't matter if you get trampled to pieces. This little one was trampled into the ground and you can't even dig it out!" the cavalryman said angrily. He looked about forty or fifty years old. He is full of energy and seems to be a master.
Only then did Yi Xiaodao realize that he had been impulsive. He carefully felt the auras of some of the people around him, and found that all of them were masters in the early stages of breathing! If I really take action, I want to escape unscathed, but I'm afraid it will be difficult, and I have a small child with me.
"Oh, someone is asking about the prime minister at the top of the house, so why don't I ask, Master Jun, please tell me." Yi Xiaodao walked to the side of the road with a smile, but there was still a trace of eagerness on his face.
Zou Tao didn't really listen. He looked at Yi Xiaodao through the crowd, as if he wanted to ask for directions or to find someone. The urgent pleading didn't seem like a lie, but... it was a little strange.
"Oh, you are a fairy! Get out of here!" The cavalryman seemed to be from Sichuan, and Yi Xiaodao brought out his Sichuan accent.
Yi Xiaodao nodded and bent down, carrying Man Yong on his back to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Zou Tao called out to stop Yi Xiaodao: "We did capture a woman in the army, and she herself admitted that she was the one who asked the Prime Minister."
Yi Xiaodao's heart turned over and over again, thinking that the people who were here to ask Xiangge were all buried on the grass mountain in order to rescue He Yue'er. The only person who could ask Xiangge here was to show his love.
"Sir, do you know her name?" Yi Xiaodao asked with a naive smile.
Zou Tao didn't hide anything: "She refused to say, oh, by the way, besides her, a woman was also arrested. Her hands and feet were thick and white, and she didn't answer any questions. I remember... there was also a look in the corner of her eye. A mole." Zou Tao said, looking into Yi Xiaodao's eyes.
Saw.
…
Man Yong felt that Yi Xiaodao's body was getting hotter and hotter: "Master...Master, let me down...I...I...I can walk by myself..."
Yi Xiaodao slowly bent down, Man Yong came down obediently, held his own wound, and slowly stepped aside. Although he is young, he is very smart.
None of the cavalry stopped them. Killing a child was of no use, as it might even expose a weakness to the other party. Everyone noticed that this ragged young man was not simple.
"Phew!" Someone took the lead in attacking. A long whip pierced out like a snake and shot at Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao dodged with his waist, and quickly pulled out the Siqing Sword. He raised the sword and actively wrapped it around the long whip. With a flick of his wrist, he passed around a few times, and then with a fierce force, he pulled the whip holder off the horse. down.
The opponent was also a good player. Although he was pulled down, his feet were firmly planted on the ground, and he started to compete with Yi Xiaodao.
"If you know them, tell me their identities and I will spare your life." Zou Tao said from the side.
Yi Xiaodao ignored him, holding the sword with both hands and pulling tightly, while the opponent also pulled hard. At the same time, the rest of the cavalry also took action. A big knife slashed towards Yi Xiaodao's head from behind.
Ordinary people only cut the neck, but this person cut his head hard. It can be imagined that the strength must be huge.
Yi Xiaodao didn't even turn his head. He just relaxed his grip and his whole body was dragged by the long whip. The other party also noticed something was wrong at this time and quickly let go, but unfortunately it was too late.
When Yi Xiaodao was brought over by the force of the whip, he grabbed the opponent's face and pushed the opponent to the ground. He quickly knelt on his chest to restrain the other party.
With a strong hand, the helmet on the opponent's head was smashed by Yi Xiaodao, and a piece of hair fell down from the back of his head. It turned out to be a woman!
"Oh, isn't there a woman here? Do you need it?" Yi Xiaodao looked back at the cavalryman who wanted to try to ask the prime minister about the taste of the woman.
"Let go!" Seeing that his companion was being restrained by Yi Xiaodao, the people around him did not dare to take action for a moment and just surrounded him.
Yi Xiaodao smiled and nodded: "No need, right? Then I'll use it!"
The woman restrained by Yi Xiaodao only felt a powerful fiery power coming from Yi Xiaodao's hand, pouring from her head into her body, and her whole body was unbearably hot. Before she even let out a scream, a ball of fire exploded from her body, burning her to ashes on the spot.
Although the people around him saw it, they didn't even have time to take action. The fire didn't come from one place, but suddenly rose up, or from within her body.
"If you kill one of me, if I go back, one of them will die too." Zou Tao looked at Yi Xiaodao with gloomy and cold eyes.
Yi Xiaodao suddenly realized that four years ago in the capital, the man who had a broken leg, raised his head and swallowed poison, looked 50 or 60% similar to this person. No wonder it felt so familiar to him.
"Back then, there was a fourth young master who committed suicide by taking medicine in the capital. Was he your brother?" Yi Xiaodao asked back.
Zou Tao narrowed his eyes: "Have you seen the fourth child?"
