Murong Xue was the apple of Murong Xiao's eye. Although she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, she had never suffered such a serious injury. At this time, her shoulder was bleeding profusely and she was falling down the horse's back. The sharp pain intensified as the horse jolted. It was so powerful that she almost fainted.
Murong Xue clenched her silver teeth, kicked her hands and feet on the horse, and scratched Li Yaozu randomly, but now she was injured and was being held tightly by Li Yaozu, unable to break away at all.
"The Zhao thief, let me go quickly, otherwise I will cut you into pieces."
Li Yaozu raised his brows and raised a contemptuous smile, "Let me tell you, I don't know how to show mercy to women. If you are not honest, believe it or not, I will strip off your clothes and hang them in front of the camp."
"How dare you!" Murong Xue had been pampered since she was a child, so she didn't know what to fear. When she heard Li Yaozu say this, she immediately forgot that she was captured and struggled even more fiercely.
"If you have the guts to be a thief, kill me!"
Li Yaozu was only nineteen years old, and when he was still full of integrity, he suddenly lost his temper when Murong Xue called him a thief, and his face instantly turned cold.
"Hmph! You think I don't dare to kill you. If my father hadn't told me to capture you alive, you would have been a corpse by now."
Murong Xue grabbed her hands and feet and struggled on the horse. She looked like an octopus.
"That's enough!" Li Yaozu was tired of being caught. He shouted loudly, raised the silver gun in his hand, and with a move of his wrist, the gun immediately pierced the sky and swept towards the struggling Murong Xue.
With a muffled sound of "bang", the gun barrel directly hit Murong Xue's forehead.
Murong Xue immediately groaned, rolled her eyes and fainted.
Murong Xue stopped struggling, Li Yaozu let out a sigh of relief, and raised a smile again, "I'm finally honest, women are really troublesome!"
Murong Xiao's face was gloomy. Looking at Li Yaozu who had returned to the camp, he understood that his daughter could not be saved today.
He glanced at the chariots in the army formation below the city, and saw Li Zhongguo looking at him with a smile on his face.
His fists clenched loudly. After many years of military service, he immediately understood Li Zhongguo's intention.
"Father and children are back!" Li Yaozu returned to the formation of thousands of troops, with a victor's smile on his face, and said to Li Zhongguo on the chariot.
"Well done!" Li Zhongguo nodded lovingly to Li Yaozu, glanced at Murong Xue who was unconscious on the horse, and said with a flash of light in his eyes, "Bring this girl back to the camp and let the military doctor Haosheng heals her, and she is of great use to us.”
"Yes!" Li Yaozu nodded and urged his horse back to the camp.
Li Zhongguo looked at Murong Xiao on the Surabaya City with a smile, and said loudly, "Li asked your wife to come back to the camp for tea. If Brother Murong agrees to open the city gate, Li is willing to personally escort your wife back to you. You see? good?"
Murong Xiao's eyes flashed coldly, and there were veins on his fists.
He stood up violently, gritted his teeth and reprimanded, "I thought you, Li Zhongguo, were also a famous military general. I didn't expect that you would use such despicable methods today. It's simply despicable and shameless."
"Hahaha, brother Murong, don't try to provoke me. Li will not follow your example. Of course he will do anything to win on the battlefield. You know this moral ideal and must be a soldier for life. Do you want Li to teach you? You can't do it!" Li Zhongguo smiled instead of getting angry, stroking his beard and laughing loudly.
"Hmph!" Murong Xiao slammed his fist on the city wall, and blood suddenly appeared, and bright red blood flowed down his fingers. "Don't think that if you threaten me with Xue'er, I will open the city gate. Don't even think about it."
Murong Xiao was thinking about countermeasures rapidly in his mind. If the city of Surabaya was defeated, the Liang Kingdom would have no chance to defend it. Zhao's army would march straight into the capital. By then, the Liang Kingdom would be completely finished.
After thinking about it, he sighed in his heart, "Xue'er's father is sorry for you."
Murong Xiao made a choice in her heart between the fate of the country and her daughter's life.
"Really? Then give it a try!" Li Zhongguo said slowly and unhurriedly, and then said to the soldiers around him, "It's getting late, let's go back to camp."
"yes!"
As soon as Li Zhongguo finished speaking, a soldier bowed down to accept his promise.
Then the horns of withdrawal sounded, and the flag of Zhao State also moved back under the sunset.
Within a moment, the army of more than 100,000 people retreated like a tide.
It was late at night, the bright moon was high, and the lights in Zhao's camp were brightly lit.
"Come on, come on, drink!"
"Okay, let's drink to Yaozu for capturing the enemy general."
"Hahaha, Yaozu is really in the breeze today. His spear is like a swimming dragon. His marksmanship is simply amazing. Ah! It's amazing. Hahaha."
In Zhao Guo's camp, loud shouts came from a larger tent from time to time.
There were five people in the tent, and there were five wooden tables. The person sitting on the high seat was an old man in his sixties, none other than Li Zhongguo.
The remaining four people sit in two rows under Li Zhongguo. Three of these four people are between thirty and forty years old. These three people are tall and strong, with dark skin, and the bright armor on their bodies is vaguely visible. There are several sword marks on it, and you can tell at a glance that they are generals who have gone through many years of battle.
The last person was tall, with a simple and honest appearance, and a pair of dark eyes under his sword-shaped brows, but he was none other than Li Yaozu.
"Uncles have praised my nephew." In the tent, Li Yaozu stood up, holding the wine glass in both hands, and said to the other three people, then raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Hey, what are you talking about? We have watched you grow up. What your uncles said is true." At this time, a rough man in his forties wearing a battle armor waved his hand and said casually.
"That's right, I remember when the general took you to the battlefield, you were only seven years old at that time. I was still thinking that the general was too old and confused to bring a baby to such a swordfight.
Where the sword shadow was, looking at it now, it was the general who discovered a good talent with his sharp eyes. Now that you have grown to this point, we are really pleased. "At this time another big man said.
These people in the camp have all been following Li Zhongguo for many years. They have long been like brothers, and naturally they are not so reserved in their speech.
Li Zhongguo listened to the words of several people, his eyes were full of that loyal young man, and suddenly he felt that this boy had his own demeanor.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, please stop praising this kid, lest he doesn't know who he is."
"Hahaha, what the general said, you should be happy that Yaozu has achieved what he has today!"
"Yes, yes!"
There was another burst of laughter in the account.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the faces of everyone in the tent were red and a little drunk.
Li Yaozu was very happy today, so he drank a few more drinks. At this time, his face was like a red apple, and things in front of him began to blur.
"Uh..." At this time, a big man burped and said drunkenly, "I think Yaozu is quite old and it's time to get married. Look at that boy in my family. He is only ten years old this year." Six, I’m almost going to be a grandfather.”
"That's right, I will say that my daughter is the right age for Yaozu. If Yaozu doesn't dislike her, I will make the decision today and promise my daughter to you." Another person said.
"Quickly pull her down. Your daughter is only twelve this year. Let's not talk about the age difference. Let's just say that she looks like you and is dark and pretty. Is she also worthy of betrothing to Yaozu?" Another person immediately answered and teased. road.
"Fart, what's wrong with my daughter? She just hasn't grown yet. Haven't you heard of a girl's eighteenth transformation?"
"Your daughter, even if she changes, she will only get uglier, hahaha."
"Hahaha."
Several people in the venue burst into laughter again.
When Li Yaozu heard that several uncles were talking about his marriage, it was hard to interrupt, and his face turned even redder.
Li Zhongguo also smiled, but he heard what these people said.
Thinking about it, it seems that my favorite son seems to have lost the emotional string. He has been very fond of the art of war since he was a child. However, no matter what the prince's daughter is, the person who proposes marriage has crossed the threshold. This boy just can't. She is willing to start a family, and she also talks about starting a family by saying that she needs to do something good.
This delay has dragged him to his current age. Seeing Li Yaozu grow up little by little, he, as a father, is also secretly worried.
"Hey, I think the little girl you kidnapped today is pretty good. She has fair skin, beautiful face, and a curved front and back. She will definitely give birth to a boy in the future." At this time, a big man said again.
"Yes, the general also said that the girl is Murong Xiao's daughter. Why don't Yaozu get rid of her today? Then the rice will be cooked, and you will become his son-in-law. Why are you afraid of that old thing?" Don’t open the city gate?”
"How can this be done? We are an enemy country, and the daughter of an enemy general is a guilty person. She is not worthy of Yaozu."
"Even if it doesn't work, let her sharpen the knife for our Yaozu first. Don't waste it!"
"Hahaha."
Everyone brought up the topic of Li Yaozu's marriage, and suddenly thought of Murong Xue who was kidnapped today, and joked about Murong Xue.
Li Zhongguo's eyes lit up when he heard this, his face remained calm, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Li Yaozu, and he only whispered in a voice that he could hear clearly, "Why not?"
"Uncles, please stop making fun of your nephew. I'm happy today. Let's not talk about those things. Come and do it!" Li Yaozu's face turned redder, he picked up the wine glass and took a drink first.
Everyone responded in unison and continued to drink.
After another while of burning incense, Li Zhongguo put down his wine glass. Seeing that several people were stumbling around after drinking, he shouted at the door of the tent, "Here comes someone!"
"Here, General!" Soon a guard soldier opened the curtain and walked in, bowing in response.
"Hel all the generals down!"
"Yes!" the soldier responded, and soon called several people to help the three people out of the tent.
"Yaozu, wait."
Li Yaozu just stood up to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Li Zhongguo.
"Father, do you have anything to do with the child?" Li Yaozu turned around and looked at Li Zhongguo and responded.
Although Li Yaozu drank a lot, he still drank a lot less than the others. Although he was walking lightly now, he was not yet in need of support.
"You will go and see the girl you kidnapped today. After all, she is from a famous family. Even though she is a prisoner, we cannot treat her lightly." Li Zhongguo said with profound meaning.
"This..." Ancestor Li Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and then walked out of the tent on his own.
After Li Yaozu left, an elegant man wearing Confucian robes and holding a feather fan walked in from outside the account.
"Is the matter settled?" Li Zhongguo looked at the elegant man and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, General. The contents of the Major General's wine have been carefully calculated. It won't take more than a stick of incense to take effect. Just wait for the good news."
"Well, let's go down." Li Zhongguo nodded and ordered.
"yes!"
After the elegant man left, Li Zhongguo rubbed his temples with a wry smile, thinking that it was really ugly for his famous general to do such a shameless thing for his own child.
He sighed, "It's an insult to politeness, it's an insult to politeness."
