You have returned slowly

Chapter 18 Destiny

In the autumn of that year, the setting sun was setting in the sky, and the setting sun was like blood.

Li Chengen rested his chin on one hand and looked carefully at the documents in front of him. Some shadows flew across the pages quickly. Li Chengen raised his eyes slightly and saw birds passing by without leaving a trace outside the Palace of King Qin.

Li Chengen was in a trance, as if everything was as quiet as a dream.

"Brother Li." Someone walked in from outside the hall, wearing heavy armor dyed with a large amount of bright red, it was really dazzling.Li Chengen looked up, saw that it was Yang Ning, and beckoned him to sit down.

Yang Ning was young and mature, his slightly childish face was full of vicissitudes of life, and his voice was calm, "Brother, the situation is not good, Yu Renjie, the leader of the forbidden area of ​​the Pharmacist Temple, has organized a rebel army from the forbidden area to kill the Pharmacist Temple. Sending a letter to ask for help urgently, what should I do?"

"Rebellion in the forbidden area?" Li Chengen closed the scroll, touched his chin, and said meaningfully, "It's a coincidence that the Shence Army has been stationed in the back mountain for a long time. Recently, the mansion has either lost food or horses. Time rebellion, huh, interesting."

Yang Ning had an epiphany, "Brother Li means..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jianqiu walked in with a gloomy expression, threw the document violently, and was furious, "The Heavenly Killing Camp of the Pegasus Camp reported urgently, and the Shence Army blatantly broke in, wounded several people, and then swaggered away It's really unreasonable to keep saying that Tian Ce's soldiers have bad intentions and want to rebel!"

"Military commander, please calm down." Li Chengen's face was calm, but his long and narrow eyes were full of sharp colors, "As soon as the Shence Army was ordered by Yang Guozhong to station here, they pretended that we came to monitor with bad intentions, and repeatedly provoked them. Cefu is like a soft persimmon. Today's deception is too much, and Li must return the gift."

When Yang Ning heard this, his eyes shone with joy, "That's right! You can't just tolerate that bastard Yang Guozhong!"

"Decree!" Li Cheng'en shouted loudly, "Today we will definitely eradicate the villain of the magic strategy in one fell swoop!"

On the second day, shence camp.

"Hey, look, Tiance's gang of idiots have retreated! Hey, I'm dying of laughter! Hahaha, don't you dare!" An elite soldier of Shence covered his stomach, gestured to the soldiers of the Pegasus Battalion who were retreating rapidly, and shouted repeatedly laugh.The people who were drinking heavily in a group also laughed wildly and pointed at each other.

"Stop drinking, where's the little girl you caught yesterday? Bring it out to make the old men happy!" One of them licked the mouth of the jar, "Tiance's gang of weak bones are scared away, and they can't deal with a woman ?”

When the others heard this, they all shrugged and looked very unlucky, "Don't mention it, that bitch is amazing, the brothers were beaten to death by her, they were caught with great difficulty, and now they are locked up in the back room." The stables are tightly tied up, and they are still happy, you are tired of work!"

"Cut, no matter how powerful she is, she is still a woman. You forgot how she was beaten up by us. It's hard to say whether she can get up now, haha, you are more cowardly than Tiance, I will go by myself!" He got up and patted the grass on his buttocks, swaggered and walked towards the back camp.

Everyone was silent, all gray-headed mouse faces, they have been beaten a lot, let him go by himself. "Come, drink, drink!"

He drank more than a dozen jars of wine in a daze, but the soldier still hasn't returned.Everyone was lying down by the campfire drunk, chatting nonsense, drowsy.One person raised his heavy eyelids and looked around, "Hey, why hasn't Lao Wang come back yet?"

"It's true, Lao Wang has been away for several hours, and he hasn't come back yet, so he won't let that girl do it?"

"How can it be, Lao Wang is also one of our best hands, hey, who cares, he can't die!" In the blink of an eye, the loud snoring sounded like thunder, and the group of people slept like dead pigs.

"咴——————" The scream of the horse accompanied by the noise of the crowd instantly resounded throughout the Shence camp. Before the guard soldiers and the sleeping people could react, the horses rushed out in panic, The camp ran around and even rushed into the tents, trampling and injuring many people.

"Horse! The horse's tail is on fire!" Someone yelled, and the originally silent Shence Camp became a mess, alarming the school lieutenant Huang Jinshou who was correcting military documents in the tent.He hurriedly ran out of the tent, was shocked when he saw this, and repeatedly called out to the vanguard Chen Tianhong, asking him to quickly gather the vanguard to prepare to meet the enemy.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers rushed into the camp, and the majestic banner fluttered high in the blue sky, bright red and dazzling.

"Yes! It's Tiance!"

"Didn't they retreat!"

"Oh help!"

The strategists who were in disarray abandoned their troops and fled in all directions. Huangfu Weide, who had long hated them, and all the strategists chased after them. They quickly broke through the vanguard and went deep into fire, gold, wood, The four camps of soil.

Huangfu Wei De Lema stopped the crowd, "Wait a minute, the military commander said that the four battalions have a formation that echoes each other. If we attack by force, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses. All the troops obey the order, divide them into small groups, and defeat them one by one!"

Under the strategist Zhu Jianqiu's strategy, the Fourth Battalion, which the Shence Army is proud of, was breached in just one day, causing heavy casualties.

Li Chengen stood outside the Shence camp, combing the mane of his beloved horse, thoughtfully.According to the soldier who sneaked into the back camp, when he was about to light the fire, he found a soldier walking straight to the stable that no one had visited for a long time. He did not seem to be a groom. He killed.

"Report! Commander Li, the leader of the bandit, Huang Jinshou, held a person hostage and was besieged by our army at the stables of the back camp! Please make a decision, Commander!" A soldier who surrounded and suppressed the school lieutenant Huang Jinshou hurriedly came to report, and Li Chengen raised his lips with interest.It seems that the answer is about to be revealed.

"lead the way."

"Yes!"

Huang Jinshou was in a state of distress at this time, and he didn't have the high-spirited and high-spirited appearance at all. The armor was stained with a large amount of blood, and the helmet was lost somewhere. There were big wounds everywhere, and he was already a defeated soldier.He held a dagger tightly in his trembling hand, and it was lying across the hostage's neck.

When Li Chengen came, everyone in Tiance took a step back to make way for him.Li Chengen dismounted, walked forward, and looked at the two people in front of him coldly.

It was a woman, very petite, with tattered clothes, her whole body was tightly bound with thick ropes, her hair was messily hanging on her face, her eyes were closed tightly, her breath was weak, obviously she had suffered a lot.

Li Chengen froze, then folded his arms and looked at Huang Jinshou with a smile, "Shen Ce's general is amazing, and he even has the brilliant trick of taking hostages, let alone a weak woman."

Huang Jinshou swallowed hard, pinched the chin of the man in her arms, and forced her to raise her head, "Stop talking nonsense! Li Chengen, it's my bad luck that I fall into your hands today. If you don't let me go, Just kill her!"

The woman was forced to raise her head, gasped in pain, and forced her eyes to open a gap, taking a full view of Li Chengen's expression.

"Heh, even though I don't know that girl before, I can't let the thieves of the divine plan wantonly kill innocent people on the territory of my stratagem. Since you are so ignorant of flattery, don't blame Li for being ruthless." Li Chengen With a restrained and playful smile, his expression became more and more icy. In an instant, the spear buzzed and he struck his hand, moving like a startled dragon, stably piercing Huang Jinshou's arm.

Huang Jinshou was in pain, and instinctively let go of the dagger in his hand. Before he could recover from the severe pain, Li Chengen's figure had already swayed in front of him, and the tip of the spear mercilessly severed his throat.Huang Jinshou's eyes were wide open, and he died with hatred.

The woman also fell backwards following Huang Jinshou's fall, and when she was about to fall to the ground, Li Chengen strode to support her and slowed down her landing speed. The woman coughed for a while, shook weakly, and fell headlong In Li Chengen's arms.

Originally, the woman's clothes were disheveled and her skin was exposed, so Li Chengen shrank for a long time.But Cao Xueyang was the only woman in the army, and Cao Xueyang was not in the mansion at the moment, so Li Chengen had no choice but to take off his cloak, wrap her up, and carried her back to the mansion.

With the bumpy footsteps, the woman's sanity recovered a little, and she raised her head to recognize Li Chengen's face in a daze.Feeling her gaze, Li Chengen lowered his head and smiled comfortingly, "Persist for a while, and we'll be there soon."

Until a long time later, Xiao Qi never wanted to understand why at that time, just Li Chengen's words gave her peace of mind, even more peace of mind than being with Qixiu and Master.But probably since then, that person has been deeply reflected in my heart and can no longer be erased.

"The serious problem in my heart is gone, I'm afraid Yang Guozhong has nothing to say, today's victory, brothers, let's have a drink!" Yang Ning beamed with joy, happily hugging Qin Shuyi, who nestled in Yang Ning's arms and gnawed on snacks.

The Tiance officers and soldiers laughed and chatted happily, drinking and drinking.Qin Yiyan took out the good wine he had collected, and Yang Ning drank a lot, and when he was a little overwhelmed, he got up and went to the courtyard to blow some air to relieve his headache.Shuyi sat in his arms, and suddenly raised her head, "Brother Yang Ning, Uncle Li brought back a big sister that day, do you know?"

Yang Ning wiped off the pastry powder from the corner of her mouth, "Of course I know, I don't know how the girl is doing now?"

Qin Shuyi shook her scum-smeared fingers, tilted her head and thought for a while, "Mother said, that sister is really strong, she woke up after two days after being hurt so badly, the eldest sister is so beautiful, she said her name is Xiaoqi is a heroine who walks the rivers and lakes!" After saying that, Shuyi's big black eyes burst out with longing and admiration.

Yang Ning pinched her little nose and said with a smile, "Why, Xiao Shuyi also wants to be a heroine? Isn't it very prestigious to be a general like your father?"

Unconvinced, Shuyi rubbed all the dregs on Yang Ning's clothes, "Huh, I will definitely be a general like my father and sister Cao in the future! Defend the family and the country! Protect the parents, Uncle Li, And Brother Smelly Yang Ning!"

Yang Ning finally couldn't help laughing out loud, "Okay, little girl, let Little General Qin protect me from now on."

Qin Shuyi blushed excitedly, and then asked him seriously, "Brother Yang Ning, will I marry you in the future?"

"..."

Yang Ning was dumbfounded, the smile on his face froze, and his expression became serious, "Shu Yi, don't say such things casually, who taught you?"

Shuyi giggled nonchalantly, "Sister Xiaoqi said that if you think someone treats you particularly well, you should marry him. What does marrying him mean?"

"This..." Yang Ning was extremely embarrassed and confused, "It's just like your mother and your father..."

"Ah, I'm really not ashamed!" Shuyi suddenly realized, her little face flushed with embarrassment, "Then little sister Qi also said that she wants to marry Uncle Li!"

"Pfft——" Yang Ning couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing, "Hahaha, I didn't expect Miss Seven to fall in love with Brother Li. The beauty of Brother Li is really not shallow, and there are groups of girls everywhere. Surround him, hahaha!"

Shuyi rolled her eyes in confusion, "Brother Yang Ning, will Uncle Li marry Sister Xiao Qi? Will you marry me? You haven't told me yet!"

Yang Ning smiled, his expression suddenly a little lonely, and then extremely gentle, "Brother Li, he already has his own heart, I'm afraid he won't marry Miss Xiaoqi. Me, I also have a beloved woman, it's just me and She, can't get married..."

"why?"

"Because, people in the strategy must be aware of the danger of life and death at any time. Even if you fall in love with someone, you may not be able to stay together forever. Even if you love another person, you can't let her be a widow for the rest of her life."

"The soldiers of the Tiance Mansion are always the loneliest."

The author has something to say:

I made a mistake and accidentally explained Xiaoqi's background too much... There must be a villa owner in the next chapter...
