Something’s Not Right

Chapter 46

Views:

General Dingbei rushed into the enemy camp as if he was entering an empty space. None of the Mu tribe soldiers could stop him, and Huyan Xi's expression became worse and worse. He looked at General Dingbei fiercely and saw that his vanguard troops were almost killed by General Dingbei. The strength that seemed like the arrival of the god of war caused the morale of the Mu tribe soldiers to drop sharply, and some soldiers had already begun to retreat and wanted to escape from the battlefield.

The soldiers of the herdsmen were all good men. They would not flee because of the strength of the enemy, nor would they fear death. But what if the enemy was not human? With such fighting power, who could say that General Dingbei was not a god or devil from heaven, but a mortal on earth

Hu Yanxi used this strength to intimidate the Xia army, but the Zhenbei Marquis did not retreat. He used his own life and the lives of his relatives to severely injure Hu Yanxi. But now, facing the equally powerful General Dingbei, the soldiers and generals of the Mu tribe retreated.

General Xiao Liu looked at the army that was almost fleeing, smiled slightly, bent down and swung his sword, and the sword wind with strong internal force rushed straight to the horse's legs. The vanguard battalion of the herdsmen were all cavalrymen. Horses were not only mounts for them, but also brothers and comrades. Without horses, the herdsmen were like flies with broken wings, unable to fly on the grassland anymore.

General Dingbei's sword actually swept all the horses' legs in the vanguard camp. With his skill, he could completely cut off one or even two rows of horses' legs. If he really succeeded, then there would be no need to fight this battle. Not only would the herdsmen lose their morale, but they would also be driven back to the depths of the grassland by the reinforcements from the Xia Kingdom, and they would not be able to recover for thirty to fifty years.

We can't let him cut me with this sword!

In a flash, Huyan Xi suppressed his internal injuries and jumped up from the horse. Without even having time to draw his sword, he swung the long whip in his hand. The whip shadow met the sword wind of General Dingbei, and the two huge forces collided, causing Huyan Xi and Xiao Jinyi to both take two steps back, standing still, looking at their lifelong enemy.

Hu Yanxi felt a sweetness in his throat and was about to spit out a mouthful of blood. However, at this time, the herdsmen who were suppressed and could not raise their heads began to roar -

"King of Saibei, King of Saibei!"

The voice behind him made Hu Yanxi realize that if he really spit out this mouthful of blood, it would be the end. General Dingbei, who was unstoppable, was stopped by him, which gave morale to the desperate herdsmen. Even if they swallowed the blood, they must not spit it out.

He wanted to vomit blood, and the queen's chest was also boiling with anger. Since she came to this world, no one had ever made her so embarrassed. This was the pinnacle of martial arts that this world could accommodate. He and Hu Yanxi were both at the pinnacle, and they were equally matched!

This person is definitely not a player!

Could he really be the Doctor, the target of this mission

The queen frowned slightly, and her eyes fell on the four high-hanging bamboo poles, and on the four faces that could only be barely seen. They were his father and brother, relatives with the same blood relationship. And behind him were the people he loved deeply, and the country that was most important to him.

Is love more important, or is mission more important

He remembered that he had been told before coming here that the Doctor was different from other players. Other players had holographic helmets, and their brain wave data would be recovered by the helmets when they died. But the Doctor had no helmet protection. If he could not recognize that he was a person in reality, then the Doctor who died in the holographic world would be brain dead. Unless the prop was activated and placed on the Doctor before he died, the prop would wake the Doctor up and store his brain waves in the Queen's helmet in reality. After the Queen woke up, she would put the helmet on the Doctor's head.

He couldn't kill the doctor, but as General Dingbei, he had to kill Hu Yanxi for the country that his father, brother and sweetheart loved so much.

Then... capture Hu Yanxi alive, put the props on him to awaken the doctor's brain waves, and then sacrifice blood to the heroic soul of Mobei!

The queen held the long sword tightly. Huyan Xi's martial arts were equally good as his, so it was really difficult to capture him alive.

After the surging blood in her chest calmed down, the queen swung her long sword, and the blade passed across the side of Huyan Xi's face. Huyan Xi actually dodged her thunder-like sword.

It seemed that there was no need to hold back, this man would not die. The Queen had experienced many battles in real life, so she did not hold back and struck with all her might.

The battle between the two top masters was like flying sand and rocks, and the area within a mile was affected. The Mu tribe soldiers who were originally very close to cheer for Huyan Xi, after more than a dozen of them were killed by the queen's sword, decisively retreated and stayed far away, cheering two miles away.

However, the people in Mobei City could see clearly under the protection of the city wall. Xiao Jinshu stared at the queen's skills and swallowed his saliva. He asked without paying attention to etiquette, "Your Majesty, this person... is he really the one I know, my Xiao Jinyi?"

Emperor Jingren smiled and nodded, with deep affection in his eyes.

Xiao Jinshu: “…”

If it weren't for the fact that General Dingbei's face was 60% to 70% similar to his own and his family's, he would have believed that Emperor Jingren found someone to pretend to be the non-existent youngest son of the Xiao family in order to seize the Xiao family's military power. Since he, a disabled person, could not inherit the title, this person could inherit the position of Marquis Zhenbei and use the identity of the son of Marquis Zhenbei to win over the hearts of the army.

But Emperor Jingren was so sure, so this Xiao Jinyi, who was so skilled in martial arts and looked like a demon, was his sister, Xiao Jinyi, who was the empress? Dear... sister

"I remember... General Xiao... was very weak when he was young." Xiao Jinshu said with difficulty.

"My dear minister, you also said that he was thin and weak when he was young," Emperor Jingren said indifferently, "He will grow up naturally."

With this kind of body and martial arts skills, can he grow up? How can his sister grow up to be such a big and strong man

Xiao Jinshu felt his fingertips trembling, but fortunately, the last bit of consciousness he had left told him that now was not the time to dwell on these things. Someone on his side could defeat Hu Yanxi, no matter who he was, it would be enough to stabilize the army's morale, and he was willing to serve him as the commander! Xiao Jinshu kept silent and looked down outside the city, but he did not see the two men. He looked around and saw the two men in midair.

The two men were surrounded by flying sand and rocks, and their movements were so fast that they could not be caught by the naked eye. Only by looking at the direction of the sand and rocks around them could one tell who had the upper hand. With Hu Yanxi's strength, his relatives died unjustly, and it was quite difficult for four lives to seriously injure him. But then he thought that the person who could fight Hu Yanxi to equal strength was his sister, and his sister...

Xiao Jinshu felt that it was fortunate that he was sitting in a wheelchair, otherwise his legs would be too weak to stand and he would have to kneel down.

His eyes fell on Emperor Jingren, and he saw this unusual emperor smiling, his eyes full of tenderness, and he was obviously full of trust and affection for Xiao Jinyi. Those eyes seemed to be looking at a charming beauty, but...

Xiao Jinshu quickly got a bucket of water from the tower and drank it in big gulps, suppressing the doubts in his heart. No matter what, let's wait until this battle is over.

Watching the battle outside the city, Xiao Jinshu finally understood what it meant to defeat ten with one's strength. In front of such a terrifying fighting force, all strategies were empty talk. They, like the herdsmen, could only wait for the two men to decide the winner.

Xiao Jinyi was not afraid of a long battle. He had no injuries and did not need to use his internal strength to suppress his injuries. If he waited a little longer, his army would arrive, and by then, no matter how many Hu Yanxis there were, they would not be enough. But Hu Yanxi was different. He could not afford to delay, not only his body, but also the herdsmen.

Suppressing the sweetness in his chest, Huyanxi turned around in the air, grabbed the head of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and held the head directly to meet the knife of General Dingbei. Xiao Jinyi secretly said that it was despicable, but he couldn't directly stab the knife into his biological father's head. He forcibly withdrew the knife when the knife was at its strongest. Huyanxi was quick-witted and drew out the waist knife at the moment when Xiao Jinyi put away the knife, and stabbed it towards Xiao Jinyi's heart.

Xiao Jinyi knew that he could not dodge, so he jumped up, faced the sword, grabbed the head of Zhenbei Marquis, took the head from Huyan Xi, and used his muscles to block the sword that pierced his ribs, preventing Huyan Xi from using the same trick again.

Seeing Xiao Jinyi being stabbed, Emperor Jingren's expression tensed up. Xiao Jinshu couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. General Xiao used the muscles on his ribs to block the dagger, so his internal organs were not injured. As long as the dagger is not pulled out, there won't be too much blood. This kind of injury... is not serious."

Facing the increasingly dark face of Emperor Jingren, Xiao Jinshu could hardly continue. However, regardless of whether the person in front of him was his sister or not, he respected and thanked him. General Xiao had the opportunity to kill Hu Yanxi. He only needed to pierce through the head of the Marquis of Zhenbei and pierce Hu Yanxi's chest. However, not only did he not do so, he was willing to get injured in order to take back the body of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Jinshu suddenly threw his hand back, and the head of the Marquis of Zhenbei flew into the city wall and landed on Xiao Jinshu's knees. It was obviously so powerful, but when it landed on Xiao Jinshu's shoulder, it was very light, as if it was a feather and the weight could not be felt. This was General Xiao's cleverness. He definitely threw the head back on purpose.

Xiao Jinshu grabbed his father's head and placed him on the city wall, letting him look at Xiao Jinyi below the wall.

"We can't let General Xiao fight alone." Xiao Jinshu frowned and said calmly, "Bring us a powerful crossbow."

The soldiers followed the order and fetched the powerful crossbows. The craftsmen in Mobei City worked day and night to make only ten powerful crossbows. Their range was several thousand meters. As long as one had good eyesight, they could hit the nomadic soldiers in the distance.

Emperor Jingren's eyes fell on Xiao Jinshu. He saw him supporting himself with his broken leg and letting his personal soldiers lift him down from the chair. He was almost half-lying on the city wall, kowtowing to his father's head.

After three loud kowtows, Xiao Jinshu, with blood on his forehead, said resolutely: "Father, Jinshu is unfilial and cannot collect the body for my brother!"

After that, he sat back in his chair and said coldly to the soldier holding the crossbow: "Coat the arrows with phosphorus powder."

Emperor Jingren immediately understood what he wanted to do and wanted to stop him, but when he saw Xiao Jinyi fighting hard under the city wall, he did not stop him after all.

As dusk fell, torches were lit on the tower. In the dim light, Xiao Jinshu's face seemed to reveal a hint of viciousness. He looked at the torches of the herdsmen in the distance, and there were three heads and three bamboo poles. As expected, in order to let his side see the heads clearly, torches were lit under each bamboo pole, so they could be seen clearly in the dark night.

Xiao Jinshu took a deep breath and said, "Aim at the heads of the three generals."

The archer captain burst into tears and couldn't help but said to Xiao Jinshu: "Military Advisor..."

"Shoot!" Xiao Jinshu said sternly.

The archer/crossbowman released his arrow. The arrow coated with phosphorus powder ignited a bluish-white flame as it passed through the slide of the crossbow. Ten bluish-white rays of light flew towards the bamboo pole.

"Not good!" Huyan Xi immediately understood Xia Jun's intention and wanted to turn around to block the rocket, but was stopped by Xiao Jinyi and could not get away.

The crossbow was extremely fast, and the soldier guarding the bamboo pole had no time to react before three or four arrows hit him and the bamboo pole.

Although there were only ten powerful crossbows, the arrows rained down in waves, and the three bamboo poles were soon surrounded by phosphorous fire. When the phosphorous fire encountered flammable materials, it quickly turned into bright yellow flames and burned violently.

The flames engulfed the heads of the three generals, enveloping the three pairs of peacefully closed eyes.

Tears welled up in Xiao Jinshu's eyes.
