"Go home?" Shi Qingxue repeated Mo Junyang's words, as if she hadn't recovered from the chaos.
Mo Junyang nodded heavily and said persistently: "Yes, you have to live and take them all back, remember? You promised to become a general!"
He knew Shi Junhe's influence on Shi Qingxue, and he could only use Shi Junhe's wishes to motivate Shi Qingxue at this time, even if it was an extremely cruel thing for Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue felt as if she had been given a slap in the face, her petite body trembled suddenly, and was about to collapse, but in the end she still stood firm.
She pulled her head out from her confusion, and the scalding hot wind hit her face, making her realize clearly how bad the problem was at this time.
The fire has spread towards them, and the heat alone seems to be able to cook people.
Shi Qingxue lowered her head and looked at the officers and soldiers of the Shi family around her. These people had long lost their bravery and fighting spirit, as if their energy and spirit had been sucked away. All of them had dull eyes and were slumped on the ground. Waiting to die.
"Qingxue, daddy, I have handed over the Shi family army to you. You must take them back alive!"
Shi Junhe's low and weak sound still echoed in Shi Qingxue's ears again and again, breaking her despair, covering up her sadness, and forcing her to calm down.
Shi Qingxue wiped away the tears on her face and looked at Mo Junyang seriously, "What should we do?"
Mo Junyang was pleased with Shi Qingxue's sobriety, but felt sorry for her calmness.
All kinds of complicated emotions were intertwined, but on the surface there was nothing unusual. He said in a cold voice as usual: "The manpower I brought is not enough. Either we escape now, or we rely on them to save ourselves."
As he spoke, Mo Junyang's eyes turned around the leaderless Shi family army without any hope.
Maybe the rumored Shi family army could break out of the sea of fire with him, but it was definitely not something that the walking dead in front of him could do.
Shi Qingxue followed Mo Junyang's line of sight and saw the current situation of the Shi family army, and instantly understood what Mo Junyang meant.
She gritted her teeth, stood a step forward, and shouted in a low voice: "The Shi family army obeys the order!"
Shi Qingxue's voice was clear and crisp, but with the determination to move forward, it was exceptionally clear in this blazing fire.
Shi Jiajun, who was originally immersed in grief, suddenly felt a shock all over, and they all raised their heads and looked at Shi Qingxue.
"Sirs, I, Shi Qingxue, am here as the third generation head of the Shi family. You all listen to my orders!" Shi Qingxue slowly took out a jade pendant. It was the one she moved to with her eldest brother Shi Qingmin. When she was living in the other courtyard, Shi Junhe gave her the certificate that symbolized the identity of the head of the Shi family.
Before this moment, she had never thought that one day she would use this jade pendant for another purpose.
But now, holding the family head's order, she stood in front of all the Shi family soldiers, waiting for their choice.
Deny, or admit
At first, everyone didn't come back to their senses. They stared blankly at Shi Qingxue and the jade pendant in her hand, as if they didn't recognize it at all.
Until the deputy generals Wei Hui and Ai Cheng came to Shi Qingxue at the same time, he knelt down on one knee and responded in unison: "The last general Wei Hui (Ai Cheng) is here, please give me the order from the head of the family!"
Then, one after another, the Shi family soldiers recovered from their astonishment, their eyes gathered the previous momentum little by little, and they knelt down towards Shi Qingxue.
shouted one after another -
"The last general Zhu Liang is here!"
"General Xiao Han is here!"
“…”
The surviving Shi family troops knelt on the ground, all bowing their heads towards Shi Qingxue and offering their loyalty.
The straight backs showed that they had regained their previous aura as soldiers of the Shi family army.
"good!"
Shi Qingxue nodded with satisfaction and arranged in an orderly manner: "Those of you who are not injured should follow Mo Shizi's people to open fire breaks, and those who are slightly injured will take care of those who are seriously injured. Everyone will execute it immediately without any mistakes."
"Follow the order!"
The reason why the Shi family army is called the ever-victorious army is because they have an aura of momentum, even if they face no matter how dangerous and difficult the environment is, and there is no way out.
Just give them a direction and they will move forward.
All the officers and soldiers of the Shi Family Army moved almost at the same time. The surviving hundreds of people looked like defeated soldiers and useless generals, but when they took action, the surrounding environment seemed to have changed all of a sudden.
Even the surviving rebels were infected by the momentum of the Shi family army, and they acted spontaneously and consciously according to Shi Qingxue's orders without giving orders.
There were about three hundred people in the open space, plus dozens of dead soldiers brought over by Mo Junyang. Everyone worked together and quickly separated a fire break. Although it was not big, it was only enough for two or three people to pass.
But at this time, no one thought about escaping first. Instead, they followed Mo Junyang's arrangements in an orderly manner. The dead soldiers were allowed to take the injured to the front first, while the people with sound limbs followed behind and lined up. One by one, they passed through the fire break and fled to the safe area.
Shi Qingxue watched as Shi Jiajun escaped from the fire scene one by one, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been taken away again, and he fell to the ground slumped.
She stared blankly at Shi Junhe's body placed in the middle of the open space, and her heart was once again invaded by great sadness. Crystal clear tears slid down her cheeks, reflecting the bright firelight, making her whole body go numb. There was a layer of hazy light.
Mo Junyang's heart tightened when he saw it, and he had a vague illusion in his heart - if this continues, Qingxue will also be melted into the blazing fire.
He suddenly panicked, stepped forward, grabbed Shi Qingxue's hand, and whispered, "Qingxue, let's go too!"
Shi Qingxue turned back to look at Mo Junyang blankly, her eyes filled with sorrow, but the corners of her mouth were trying to raise.
She forced out a smileless smile and said to Mo Junyang in a low voice, "I did it."
Mo Junyang's heart felt sour and astringent, but he could only hold back his emotions and nod, "Yes, you did it."
These words were like a switch, releasing Shi Qingxue's last breath.
Her body went limp and she fainted.
"Qingxue!"
Mo Junyang hurriedly went to help him and took the limp body into his arms in time.
After checking, luckily he just fainted.
Mo Junyang breathed a sigh of relief, his deep and dark eyes full of complexity.
He didn't waste any more time and picked up Shi Qingxue. The dead soldier beside him consciously abandoned Shi Junhe's body and rushed out of the fire before the fire spread.
——
Outside the fire scene, Mo Junyang held the unconscious Shi Qingxue and looked from a distance. There was no trace of Mo Junhao around.
I also knew that the despicable guy must have seen that there was no hope of defeating Shi Junhe, so he led the Shi family army to the hillside and used the bombs that had been laid in advance to kill both sides.
If they were to die together in a true sense, Mo Junyang might still admire Mo Junhao's heroism, but this man was so afraid of death, how could he be willing to die in this desert
He actually absconded himself and used soldiers as bait to die with the Shi family army!
Despicable and hateful.
"Master, what should we do next?" Wei Zichao arranged for the troops outside to put out the fire, and at the same time asked Mo Junyang for instructions on the next move.
Mo Junyang's eyes were heavy and he stared into the distance for a long time before he said: "First find a safe place to set up camp and treat the injured."
Especially the Shi family army, who had just experienced a siege not long ago, and now encountered this devastating fire, it was a blessing in misfortune to escape, and it was too much for them to muster up their energy to do anything else.
Wei Zichao received the order, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he secretly glanced at the person in Mo Junyang's arms.
Mo Junyang squinted at him, "What's wrong?"
"Liu Niang, are you okay?" Wei Zichao's tone was filled with worry.
Wei Zichao had been asked to provide support at the outermost perimeter and did not follow into the fire scene, but he could guess how serious the disaster was from the intermittent cries of the survivors.
The leader of the Shi family army was gone.
Shi Qingxue’s father is gone too…
Wei Zichao simply couldn't imagine how Shi Qingxue would feel after waking up.
"It's okay." Mo Junyang pursed his thin lips tightly and uttered two words coldly, as if he didn't want to talk more, and ran to the nearest camping spot with Shi Qingxue in his arms.
When they arrived at the camp, the logistics soldiers had already set up the camp.
Mo Junyang directly carried Shi Qingxue into the coach's tent. He placed Qingxue on a simple bed frame and simply wiped Shi Qingxue clean with the water prepared by his attendants early in the morning.
Shi Qingxue was still in a coma and could not wake up no matter how much Mo Junyang moved.
After he had done everything, Wei Zichao opened the curtain of the camp again and came in to report his work: "Master, I have sent people to settle all the survivors."
"This is the time when morale is at its lowest, so be vigilant and be careful of ambushes." Mo Jun warned concisely.
Wei Zichao: "Yes! I will ask our people to guard the surroundings of the camp later and arrange for manpower to patrol day and night. There should be nothing wrong in the short term."
Besides, Mo Junhao probably never imagined that they still have such a big force in their hands. Now that the opponent only has defeated soldiers, how can he provoke them to death
Mo Junyang gently stroked Shi Qingxue's hair on his forehead, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking, but he never spoke.
Wei Zichao was not in a hurry and stood quietly aside, waiting for Mo Junyang's next order.
Although they have brought the surviving Shi family army out of danger, it does not mean that everything will be fine.
On the contrary, the next 'battle' will only be more difficult, and the only person who can make the decision now is Mo Junyang.
Mo Junyang was silent for a while, his mood changed several times in his deep eyes, weighing and weighing, before finally speaking softly but calmly.
"You personally lead 30 elite troops to the north of Huwenpi Town for an unannounced visit. You must find out Mo Junhao's current location within three days; in addition, let the dead men lead a thorough investigation of the situation in Huwenpi Town. , this time I must be familiar with the situation inside."
With these two requirements, Wei Zichao immediately heard that the other party was preparing to fight Mo Junhao to the death.
He couldn't help but frown tightly and persuaded lightly: "Your Majesty, although we have sufficient troops now, the Shi family army has just experienced a major defeat, and both the number of survivors and morale are extremely low.
I'm afraid... it's not a wise choice to confront the rebels again. "
