Princess Feitian looked at the body thrown to the ground by Ning Tao and was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Ning Tao didn't say anything, just looked at her and smiled. Along the way, the scent of Feitian Princess was the most obvious, as if an arrow had been drawn for him, and he found it easily.
This is the top of a mountain, and the Great Yuan Empire's camp is in the valley on the other side of the mountain.
The Feitian Princess made a very smart decision in choosing this place. If she encounters danger, she and her people have wings and can fly away as soon as they say. Even the real Shan Pu cannot stop her.
But if it's in a valley or on flat land, it's hard to tell.
"Well done. Was it painful when he died?" Feitian Princess asked.
Ning Tao replied: "He didn't leave peacefully."
Princess Feitian chuckled twice: "It seems so. You blasted such a big hole in his body. It would be weird if he walked away peacefully."
Ning Tao thought of the bamboo slip again, but he didn't say it out loud. If it weren't for the bamboo slip, he would have caught him alive, and maybe he could have dug out more secrets from Shan Pu.
When Sampu died, all the secrets in his mind went with him. When a person dies, the brain dies and those memories are gone.
Chao Xi and Ling'er wanted to talk to Ning Tao, but when they saw Princess Feitian standing next to Ning Tao, the two brides did not come over.
"You toad wants to eat swan meat. Aren't you very powerful? Get up!" Princess Feitian kicked Shan Pu and then spat on Shan Pu's face.
Never mess with a woman, especially a beautiful woman.
Ning Tao didn't want to see the Feitian Princess torture the corpse, so he walked to the other side of the mountain. It wasn't that far away in fact. In just a dozen steps, he came to the edge of the cliff. From a high position, he had a panoramic view of the entire valley.
There are military tents one after another in the valley, so densely packed that it’s hard to count. There are ape-men soldiers practicing in the camp, in good formation, and there are also ape-men soldiers patrolling, looking heavily guarded.
Ning Tao also saw a lot of cannons, as well as "fighters" such as giant flies and birds of prey in fixed areas.
With such a large army, if it weren't for him, the human race would really have no hope and would only be destroyed.
Princess Feitian came to Ning Tao's side and said calmly: "You killed Shan Pu. What are you going to do with the ape-man army in the valley?"
Ning Tao said: "I will take the body to the camp in a moment and tell them that their president is dead. If they are willing to withdraw their troops, I will let them go. If they want revenge, then I will destroy them." "
Princess Feitian said: "That's fine. I won't go with you. I'll wait for you here. After you come back, we will discuss going to Jibei."
Ning Tao nodded.
Indeed, once the matter here is settled, it is time for him to go to the far north.
Climbing the ladder to heaven and opening the secret, he wanted to know what was in the secret.
Ning Tao left the cliff and came to Bi Mingzhu, Chao Tide and Ling'er. He said straight to the point: "I will take the body to the military camp. Leave it here to wait for me."
"That's a military camp for a hundred thousand troops. Brother Ning, you must be careful." Chao Xiang said, his eyes full of worry.
Ning Tao smiled: "A mere hundred thousand troops can't hurt me, so don't worry."
Ling'er also wanted to say something, but when she heard Ning Tao say this, she couldn't express her concern and worry.
Bi Mingzhu glanced at the man standing on the edge of the cliff.
Princess Feitian lowered her voice: "Old Sang, that woman asked you to kill Shanpu. It's understandable that she doesn't go to the camp, but I feel that there is some secret hidden in that woman's heart. You should be careful about her."
Ning Tao nodded: "I would be wary of her even if you didn't tell her, don't worry."
Liehuo walked over, hesitated and said, "Brother Ning, can you take a step to speak?"
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment. He was a little curious. He was not considered an outsider here, especially since Chao Xiang and she were both from Xia. What could she have to say that even Chao Xiang couldn't hear? However, he nodded and followed the fire.
Chao Xiang and Ling'er looked at each other, and the two women were also very curious. What did Li Huo say that they couldn't listen to when Ning Tao was taken away
Bi Mingzhu smiled: "Don't be curious, you two. Sister Liehuo must have something in her heart to tell Laosong, and she's too embarrassed to let us hear it."
Chao Xi and Ling'er couldn't help but look at each other again, both women had the same strange expression on their faces.
One of them married Ning Tao the day before yesterday, and the other married Ning Tao just yesterday. This is only the third day. Is Ning Tao getting married again? If so, then it is really worthy of giving the title of Son of God in vain!
The fierce fire led Ning Tao into a forest, and he walked a few steps forward until Bi Mingzhu and the others could no longer be seen. Then she turned around and looked at Ning Tao, but she didn't speak and looked a little hesitant.
Ning Tao smiled and said, "If you have anything to say in front of Tide and the others, why didn't you say anything when you brought me here?"
Lie Huo's knees suddenly softened and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
Ning Tao hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said in surprise: "If you have something to say, why are you kneeling down?"
However, Li Huo pressed her arm hard to prevent Ning Tao from helping her up. He said, "Brother Ning, Lie Huo wants you to do something. I will not get up until you agree."
Ning Tao smiled bitterly and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. What are you doing? Get up and say it. Get up and say it."
Liehuo said stubbornly: "If you don't agree, I won't get up."
Ning Tao had a headache: "You don't say anything, how can I promise you? You tell me something first, and if I can do it, I will promise you."
She was on her knees. It was definitely not an ordinary thing. He didn't dare to agree rashly, because he had to fulfill his promise. If he couldn't fulfill his promise, he would have broken his promise.
Liehuo was silent for a moment before speaking: "I just heard you, that flying princess, talking. You said that if the apes retreated, you would let those apes go, right?"
Ning Tao nodded: "Yes, if the ape-man army retreats, I will let them go."
Liehuo said: "I implore Brother Ning to destroy the ape army in the valley, leaving no one behind."
Ning Tao was stunned on the spot.
He never thought that Liehuo was begging him for something like this.
That was an army of more than 100,000 people. Kill them all
If they were fighting, he might still be able to do this, but if he brought Shanpu's body there, the ape army in the valley would most likely surrender and return to Twiyao City with Shanpu's body. How could he go on a killing spree against the surrendered ape army, leaving no one alive? There are more than 100,000 apes in the army. It is impossible for every ape to be a bad person. Every ape has parents, wives and children. Such a cruel thing will definitely leave a shadow on him and his conscience will be uneasy for the rest of his life.
"I'm sorry, I really can't do such a thing." Ning Tao refused.
Liehuo said: "I know Brother Ning, you are a kind-hearted person. My request is indeed excessive and makes you embarrassed, but have you ever thought about it
, they just lost a Sampu. After they go back, a new president or king will be born soon, and then they will kill the human race under the banner of revenge. The human race is weak and cannot afford the ape-man's revenge war. If you go to the far north and they come to attack Xia or other tribes, can you come back to save us? "
Ning Tao was silent. He didn't think so far. Hearing what she said at this moment, he felt that what she said made sense.
The ape-man has been taught hatred since he was a child. Even the children of the ape-man will not regard humans as human beings. He killed Shan Pu and walked away. No matter who inherits Shan Pu's position, there will most likely be a revenge war. At that time, he was in the far north, and he didn't know if he could come back. Can he protect the human race in this world for his whole life
Liehuo continued: "Brother Ning, if you destroy this ape army, the ape people's vitality will be severely damaged, and they may not dare to think of attacking the human race in the next few decades. The human race needs time to recuperate and build their own country. Therefore, Please promise me, Brother Ning, to destroy this ape army. You will become the patron saint of Xia, and the human race will remember your kindness for generations to come."
What she said made sense and her analysis was correct, but it was not her who killed him, but him.
A decision affects the life and death of hundreds of thousands of lives. This is not a simple decision.
This decision has nothing to do with right or wrong, only interests.
"Brother Ning, just promise me." Liehuo begged.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly: "Don't force me, just let me be quiet and think about it."
Lie Huo was more anxious than anything else. She said: "Just now, before you came back, Sister Mingzhu asked me to be a matchmaker, but I didn't agree. If you promise me to destroy this ape army, I... I will agree to marry you. I give you everything I have."
Ning Tao: "..."
What we came here to talk about was the life and death of hundreds of thousands of ape troops, as well as the future of the human race. Such a serious and high-level topic, why did it suddenly turn around and get involved in marriage
The turn was a bit too big, and Ning Tao was almost thrown off the car.
"No, you asked me to kill those hundreds of thousands of apes..." Ning Tao still couldn't make a decision.
Clang!
Li Huo suddenly pulled out the sun-chasing sword, raised her arm, and placed the blue sword on her neck.
Ning Tao was immediately dumbfounded and said nervously: "What are you doing? Put your sword down quickly and tell me what you have to say!"
Li Huo resolutely said: "The ape-men tortured the human race, how many children were killed before they reached adulthood, how many young people became slaves, and how many women became the ape-men's playthings. This time, if you hadn't saved Xia, Xia Zao would have fallen, and this world There is no place for the human race to stand. It’s a matter of life and death for the human race. Brother Ning, you must promise me, or I will kill myself in front of you!”
Ning Tao: "..."
Two tears rolled down from Li Huo's eyes, and she choked with sobs: "Brother Ning, you and I are destined to be together. We are separated now. Let's meet again in the next life!"
After saying that, she pulled her hand.
But the sword didn't move.
Ning Tao grabbed the sun-chasing sword and sighed: "Get up, I promise you, if I don't go to hell, who will."
Li Huo, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly let go of the hilt of his sword, hugged Ning Tao's thigh with both arms, and cried with joy.
Ning Tao froze, motionless.
