At this time, the frontier fortress.
In the previous battle, the Dongling army suffered heavy losses!
I saw that his military camp was full of people who had been attacked by witchcraft people.
The wounds of those caught by the witches' hands were now festering and turning black, and the wounds exuded a foul stench, which was very unpleasant.
General Cheng was also injured by the witch. Due to his serious injury, he was lying unconscious on the bed.
General Li on the side could not help but walk back and forth in front of General Cheng's bed.
He has been marching and fighting for so many years, but he has never seen such a person before. Rather than saying that he is a human being, it is better to describe him as a monster.
They saw that the monsters that attacked them seemed to be controlled. They knew no pain and were extremely powerful. They were no match for those monsters.
After this battle, their army suffered heavy losses!
If the emperor had not quickly sent reinforcements in the meantime, I am afraid that his entire army might not have been wiped out.
It's not that he has the momentum of the opponent's army, but that they simply can't compete with those monsters.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown. What should he do now, and this is not the worst.
At this moment, soldiers outside came to report.
"What's the matter?" General Li turned around and looked at the soldier and asked.
The soldier now cupped his hands and said, "General, our army doesn't have much food and grass."
"What? How many days can we last at most?" After hearing this, General Li's heart suddenly tightened. The matter at hand has not been solved yet, and their food and grass are not enough. At this time, General Li experienced what internal and external troubles are, and then he saw asked the soldier.
The soldier then returned with his hands clasped, "Return to the general, and we can hold on for five days at most."
"Five days, five days, please retreat first!" General Li repeated what the soldier said at this time, and then motioned for him to retreat.
After the soldier left, General Li couldn't help but feel anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
The army was short of food. He had written a letter to the imperial city before, but he saw nothing after so long.
At this time, General Li couldn't help but sit in front of General Cheng's bed, then sighed, looked at General Cheng who had been unconscious for a long time, then closed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid we two brothers will be killed in the border fortress this time."
"The matter... is... not at the end yet, so we can't... jump to conclusions!" Unexpectedly, as soon as General Li finished speaking, General Cheng, who had been unconscious for a long time, opened his eyes slightly, and then gasped and turned to Li said the general.
When General Li heard General Cheng speak, he couldn't help but look excited. Then he lay down in front of him and said loudly, "Brother, you finally woke up. Do you know that you have been comatose for three days and three nights?"
"Cough... cough... Has it been so long? I just felt that I slept and got lost in my dream. I couldn't find my way back. Then I heard you talking in a daze, and I woke up. Come here." General Cheng coughed twice and then said to General Li.
I saw General Li nodding his head at this time and saying, "Just wake up, just wake up, so that we two brothers can fight side by side again."
At this time, Xiling.
When Emperor Xiling heard the news from the border fortress, he couldn't help but laugh to the sky, and then said with a smile on his face, "Okay, okay."
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the army on the opposite side was beaten by us sorcery people and fled. Even one of the generals was injured by the sorcery people." Zhan You then said to the Xiling Emperor.
The Emperor of Xiling couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and then said loudly, "When I regain the Dongling Tomb, the South Tomb and the Beiling will be in my pocket. In the future, this world will belong to me."
"Then I will congratulate King Xiling in advance." Zhan You couldn't help but smile at this time, and then said to King Lankuo of Xiling with cupped hands.
He just wants to prove that he is stronger than Hou Shi, and he wants his father to see that it was a mistake for him to choose Hou Shi to be the Gu King.
When he helps King Xiling to unify the world, all the witches will be him.
Lankuo stood up at this time, and then walked to Zhan You, "You go back and prepare, and attack the border fortress again tomorrow. I will pursue the victory and catch you off guard again!"
"Your Majesty, I think it will be a bit urgent to go tomorrow." Zhan You couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this. Lankuo was too impatient.
After hearing this, Lan Kuo couldn't help but quickly asked, "Why is this? Now is a good time to pursue victory."
"Your Majesty, there are a large number of Nightmare Gu people now, and the Nightmare Gu King's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. It's not that I don't want to. The Emperor has also seen the power of the Nightmare Gu people with his own eyes. I'm afraid I will be negligent. That Nightmare Gu man is out of control!" Zhan You looked at Lankuo and said.
At this time, Lankuo walked to his seat and sat down. He then pondered for a moment and said unwillingly, "I didn't think it through. I will give you three days to take good care of yourself. After three days, we will send troops to the frontier fortress." ,how?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Since Lan Kuo had already finished speaking, he could only nod in agreement, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Then Zhan You walked towards his residence.
When he arrived at the room, Zhan You called his disciple Feng into the room first.
"Master, what do you need to see me for?" Fengxian walked in and bowed to Zhan Xuan and asked.
Zhan You sat down at this time, then put his head on his hands and said, "How are the Nightmare Gu people doing now?"
"Don't worry, Master, I will insert the silver needle into his temple as Master said." Fengxian said to Zhan You with a smile.
Zhan You nodded slightly after hearing this. At this time, he only felt weak all over. There were a large number of Nightmare Gu people, and the Nightmare Gu King sucked more and more blood from him every time.
Previously, he was afraid that something would go wrong on the battlefield. When these Nightmare Gu people were transported to the border fortress, Zhan You fed the Nightmare Gu King one more time a day, causing them to be extremely weak now.
He originally thought that he would cultivate himself well these days, but he didn't expect that King Xiling would be so impatient.
If he had told the reason directly just now, it would obviously make King Xiling unhappy. He had long seen that King Xiling was a ruthless character, otherwise he would not cooperate with such a person.
Now he has paid too much for it and cannot afford to lose anything in the future.
"Well, take good care of these Nightmare Gu people and don't neglect them, got it?" Zhan You then warned Fengxian.
At this time, a gust of wind blew in from the window, blowing Zhan You's sleeves and shaking them uncontrollably.
I saw that Zhan You couldn't help but tighten his clothes at this time, and looked at his hands, which were already skin and flesh.
When Fengxian saw this, he couldn't help but asked with a worried look, "Master, are you okay?"
"It's okay, go and close the window." Zhan You shook his head at this time, looked at Fengxian and said to him.
Feng Xian listened, nodded, then walked to the window and closed it.
Then he walked to Zhan You and said, "Master, you go to bed and lie down for a while, and then I will bring you the tonic soup."
"Well, go down." Zhan You said to Fengxian and waved his hand, and then Fengxian walked out of the house and closed the door.
After Feng left first, Zhan You got up and walked to the bed. He never regretted all of this, including what he was like now.
Since his father passed on the position of Gu King to Hou Shi, from that moment on, he would never look back.
And at this time.
Xiao Mu and others ran all night and finally arrived at the military camp near dusk the next day.
At this time, the people on guard could not help but feel nervous when they saw someone walking away. A soldier quickly walked forward and stopped in front of Xiao Mu, and then said, "This is an important area of the military camp. Do not enter!"
I saw Xiao Mu jumping off the horse at this time, and then walked up to the soldier and said, "I am Xiao Mu, and I have come to the border fortress on the orders of Marquis Shuo. I hope you can go and tell the general."
Xiao Mu said, taking out the letter written by Shuo Ling from his sleeve and handing it to the soldier.
After hearing this, the soldier took the letter Xiao Mu handed over, then glanced at Zhou Ji and said, "Wait a moment."
Then the soldier said a few words in the ear of the person next to him, and then ran in.
Immediately, Xiao Mu asked everyone to dismount, tied the horses to a pole nearby, and then stood together to wait.
Inside the tent.
After General Cheng woke up, he asked General Li about the situation outside.
General Li shook his head at this time, "The situation is not very optimistic. Although we have many people on each other, the enemies who came out are simply invulnerable. There is really nothing we can do!"
"Is there any message back to the imperial city?" General Cheng asked softly at this time.
General Li nodded at this time, "I have sent someone 800 miles away to rush back to the imperial city."
General Cheng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. They had never seen the enemies appearing in Xiling this time. They didn't know what methods the emperor might come up with to deal with them!
At this moment, General Cheng's stomach growled.
General Li asked someone to cook some porridge. General Cheng had been in a coma for three days. It would be better to drink some porridge when he woke up.
Wait for it to finish eating.
General Li then walked forward and checked his injuries.
General Li took off his shirt at this time, and then took off the gauze wrapped around the wound.
I saw the place where General Cheng's chest was scratched by the Nightmare Gu. The wound had turned black and there was obviously rotten flesh.
General Li frowned after looking at it.
General Cheng looked at it at this time, then looked at General Li and said, "This wound seems to be unhealed. General Li, use a knife to cut off the rotten flesh."
"General Cheng, this..." General Li frowned after hearing this, and then said hesitantly.
Before he could finish his words, General Cheng said, "This little pain for a man is nothing, it is better than losing his life because of it!"
"In that case, I will cut off this rotten flesh for you." After hearing this, General Li hesitated slightly and then said.
Immediately, General Li took out the dagger he carried with him, and then ordered someone to go find a wooden stick.
After everything was ready, General Li walked to the bed, looked at General Cheng, and then stuffed the wooden stick into General Cheng's mouth.
Before taking action, General Li glanced at General Cheng again, and General Cheng nodded to him.
Then General Li lowered his head, took off the scabbard, and then started to put the knife in front of the rotten flesh, pinched it gently with his left hand, and then cut hard, and a piece of the rotten flesh was cut off.
