On top of the Great Wall, Leng Yan was leaning on the wall and looking into the distance. His expression was serious and his brows were furrowed into the character "Chuan".
"Zhang Liang, don't let me down, kid..." Just as he was muttering, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him.
"Who is it?" the soldier on guard suddenly shouted.
Leng Yan looked back and his eyes widened suddenly because he saw Daolin.
"Why are you here?" Leng Yan asked in shock.
"Why do you all have this look on your face? Although I'm late, I should have been here. I hope General Leng won't blame me for being late." Daolin said, holding his fists.
"You know about Qianxue, right?" Leng Yan waved his hand and said.
Daolin's face darkened and he nodded and said, "Daofang has already told me."
"Daofang?" Leng Yan looked behind Daolin after hearing this, and then noticed Daofang.
"Why are you back?" Leng Yan stepped forward.
Daofang then told Leng Yan what he had said to Daolin before, including the other party's intentions and troop deployment, as well as the current situation on Wuming Mountain.
"I guessed that they were besieging and calling for reinforcements. These beasts are really bad." Leng Yan turned around and slapped the city wall hard.
"How did you escape?" Leng Yan suddenly remembered.
The Taoist priest told him about the underground river in the cave leading to the territory of Shenwu.
"I know that river, but I didn't expect it to be an underground river flowing from the Lieyang Empire. No, people must be stationed at that place, otherwise something may happen in the future." Leng Yan said in silence for a moment.
"I don't care about the underground river. You tell me where Qianxue is now. I want to go there and rescue her." Daolin said in a deep voice.
"This matter cannot be rushed. The other party has a regiment there and there are hundreds of warriors around. We need to consider it in the long run." Leng Yan reassured.
"How could I not be anxious? Also, why did you send her to explore the road? Isn't this sending her into a pit of fire?" Dolin roared.
"First, she asked to go! Second, she is the only one you are considering, and I need to be responsible for this group of brothers. We are all human beings and have lives. I also know that you are in a hurry, and I am more anxious than you. Even more urgent, but this is war, this is not a fight!" Leng Yan's tone also became excited.
"I don't care what happens to you, I want to rescue Qianxue, just tell me the place!" Daolin waved his hand and said.
Leng Yan's chest heaved with anger. As the highest officer on the Western Front, he was being treated like this. If the other party had been Daolin, someone else would have pulled him down and chopped him down.
"Tell me!" Daolin turned to look at Daofang and shouted.
Dao Fang looked at Leng Yan and saw that he didn't object anymore and said slowly: "Thirty miles northwest, there is an unknown mountain peak. When you get there, you can see their marching tent."
Daolin nodded, then looked at Han Zimo and said, "Old Han, are you going to follow me or stay here."
Han Zimo smiled slightly and replied: "If you need me."
Dorian thought for a while and decided to forget it. It wouldn't take much time to go there by himself.
"I'll go by myself." Dolin said, cupping his hands at Leng Yan, and then jumped onto the city wall.
"Be careful, there are some masters among their warriors." Leng Yan warned.
"You have it, it's impossible to kill me." Dolin said with a smile.
After Dolin finished speaking, without waiting for Leng Yan to say anything, he jumped up directly with his legs. This jump was tens of meters high. With the sound of a thunderstorm, Dolin disappeared above his head and headed towards the northwest.
"So ostentatious?" Leng Yan stared at this scene with wide eyes.
"Is this guy's strength improved so much?" Even Dao Fang was confused.
"Although his realm is not high, his body of copper tendons and iron bones cannot hurt him even in the ordinary realm of creation." Han Zimo said with a soft smile.
"So perverted?" Leng Yan said in shock.
"That's natural, this guy is really perverted." Han Zimo nodded and said.
As for Daolin, he was high in the sky, using thunder and rushing towards the northwest. From a distance, it sounded like he was about to continue the heavy rain last night.
………………
On the unnamed mountain peak, the Shenwu Empire soldiers were lying on the ground in a mess. They fought with the Lieyang Empire soldiers for most of the night. Both sides suffered losses, especially the Shenwu Empire side, which had no advantage in the first place. At this time, there were only ten soldiers left. Come someone.
Qianxue looked at the soldiers lying on the ground with a sad face, knowing that there would be no hope.
"People on the mountain, listen, look up and look at these people! I tell you, when you are a bait, you have to act like a bait. Don't think about escaping. You are already surrounded."
The four team captains went to the edge of the mountain and took a look. They saw several people kneeling in the open space below. They were pushed to the ground and had knives on their necks.
"It's Daofang and the others." The first squad leader slammed his fist and cursed.
"No, you see Dao Fang is not inside. Could it be that he has escaped?" the fourth team leader suddenly shouted.
Everyone came together, and when they counted six people clearly, they felt a burst of joy in their hearts. At least their brothers' sacrifices this night were not in vain.
"Are you thinking that there is one missing person? He has been killed by us, and his body is in the cave over there. He died miserably." A shout suddenly sounded from the bottom of the mountain.
Qianxue's expression changed. Daofang had been taking care of her during this period and often called him sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, he died last night.
"Don't believe it, everyone!" the fourth squad leader said softly.
"What do you mean?" A group of people looked at him.
"If they really killed Daofang, they would definitely bring his body here. That would be more convincing and serve as a deterrent." The fourth team leader analyzed.
As he explained, a group of people immediately agreed. Based on what the beasts below did, they would not give up such a good opportunity. There was only one possibility for them not to do so, and that was that Dao Fang had indeed succeeded in escaping, and They didn't pursue him either.
"Now I give you a chance. As long as you hand over the girl playing the piano, we can let these people go and give you six minutes to think about it. We will kill one person every minute. There is not much time. You weigh it yourself."
The content of Shanxia's shouting was so shocking that everyone looked at Qianxue, while Qianxue's face turned pale. She did not expect that the Lieyang Empire would threaten her with the lives of these people.
"Miss Qianxue..." The fourth squad leader called softly.
Qianxue nodded and looked at the fourth team leader.
"Don't go... They must have bad intentions. Even if you go down, you won't let them go. You will only sacrifice yourself in vain."
"ten…"
"Nine…"
"eight…"
"seven…"
"six…"
With a countdown, the first minute arrived, and with a harsh cutting sound, a Shenwu Empire warrior was beheaded.
