Chapter 5: Palpitations

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 3
December 18th, Eltiero Southern Region

I feel more and more that the White Deer Cave is a very inhuman bird place, especially the super-willing abuse of my subordinates. I have been in the White Deer Cave for more than 400 years, and I have been either injured or disabled for more than 300 years. Last time I dealt with the bat mad dog that came out of nowhere. I was left with no good meat. Before I even recovered my injuries, I was dragged out by a heartless shemon for a mission. Why did I not deal with the demons this time? The opponent is just a weak human, and I can capture it. What's the result?My hand was interrupted, and I was still hanging here and shaking it. Hello, I said, shemale, are you unwilling to accept it if you didn't see me paralyzed?

…What is the definition of shemale?

A good man wearing a mask is a shemale.

I don't wear it now, and... a woman has two beards on her face, which is really a shemale.

The beard is a disguise and sticky!Even if I become a shemale, I am still a beautiful and generous lady with a long list of girls.

...You are a shemale kissing demon.

It is hard to imagine that the conversation without any tension came from the two disciples of Lu You who were shaking away the eyes of others and secretly making an appointment to have a conversation on the bank of the uninhabited stream.

One is the number one master in the rebels, and the other is a powerful general who has made continuous achievements in the rebels recently. If others see them talking, they will definitely pay attention.

In recent battles, Yan Ning was always the first to enter the enemy formation and the last to break out, but the one who was really responsible for cutting off the rear and blocking the pursuit of the Eltino Army, and once again attacked the team led by Xiao Qiao.

The leader of the alliance personally fought, and Gongjin, as an important cadre, also accompanied the formation and made as many achievements as possible.

It sounds quite embarrassing, but Gongjin has to admit that the whole thing has gradually become out of his control.

Xiao Qiao had sufficient mysterious support under the table, and Yan Ning had full support on the table. It was getting more and more difficult to control this Allied army without any trace. Now he had to work hard to establish merits and improve his position in the league, so that he could get back control. In the past few days of battle, in order to perform hard, Gongjin had cut off at least three matching knives, and the enemies under the knife he killed were hundreds of times more numerous.

Eltino's group of wine and money was really vulnerable. I thought they were a little worthy, but none of them could get my move. The degree was too bad.

Of course they will not be able to bear it if you treat them like demons, but you can’t be too careless. The victory now is because the opponent is not the elite of the Eltierno army. At best, it is just a local army with poor quality. If you are blinded by victory, when Eltierno’s main force appears, casualties will be difficult to estimate.

Oh, that's right... But Xiao Qiao should see this. Tomorrow's last attack ends, we will retreat to spend the winter. When we come out again, the training and strengthening have been completed. We can compete with the Eltino army head-on. No matter how we look at it, we will fight steadily, without the signs of exaggeration and instability you are worried about.

Well, unfortunately, it is indeed what you said, this is the situation I least want to see.

One thing that Gongjin felt was very troubled was that although the rebels won steadily in the war, they did not commit as many killings as expected, and blood flowed into a river, causing half of the wind continent to fall into darkness, and people lived in fear and crying.

If too many killings in the war will deviate from humanity. Even if a dynasty is established, the regime will not last long. Xiao Qiao should have understood this truth deeply, so he issued many military orders to prevent things from getting out of control.

It is prohibited to plunder and massacre, and even requires subordinate troops to avoid harassing the people as much as possible, and to simply focus on soldiers. What Xiao Qiao does is the kingly benevolence advocated by Bailu Cave. From this point of view, there is no need to be picky.

But this is bad, because this rebel is only chosen to destroy Eltiero's tool, and the task of establishing an orthodox and a powerful dynasty should be accomplished by humans. If the rebels are not cruel and evil enough now, how can the human forces that eliminate this rebel army in the future demonstrate orthodox?

Gongjin was not happy to see this happen because if Xiao Qiao really established a new country according to the king's benevolence, the layout of the Bailu Cave could be said to be a complete failure.

The ghosts and thieves cannot establish dynasties. The development of this kind is too dangerous. The woman cannot continue to do this. I have already figured out how to do it. Yan Ning, I will ask you for the work I have implemented.

oh?Are you planning to ask me to assassinate Xiao Qiao?

No, there is no need for this step now. There may be support from the Medici family behind her. It is not as necessary. I don’t want to hurt her life.

Gongjin and Yanning explained that although Xiao Qiao wanted to walk on the path of benevolence, she would definitely be subject to great resistance to implementing such strategies among the rebels today.

Regardless of the fact that more than 99% of the rebel members do not have such foresight, the ghosts, orcs, and thieves who formed the rebels all have resentment towards the entire environment, treating the people of the world as enemies, wishing to destroy all the happiness of everyone to make up for the suffering they have suffered since their birth.

It would be almost impossible to make these people not harass the place in the war.

Hatred is like fire, and even if it is not strong for a while, it is easy to be ignited again. It only requires a person who can compete with the authority of the alliance leader, so you have to come forward.

What Gongjin wants to borrow now is Yanning's rapidly rising position among the rebels.

Whether it is an orc, a ghost or a thief, they all live a life of licking blood from a knife and respecting the strength. Although Yan Ning attacked the martial arts conference and the battlefield, he did not arouse the disgust of comrades because of his superlative force, but instead was regarded as a pillar figure in the alliance.

The same thing as Xiao Qiao is that Yan Ning, who rebels from the White Deer Cave, has no gang or sect, is a person without background.

As long as she leaves the battlefield, her personality becomes calm and clear, just like a pastoral scholar, now she has become an idol of soldiers of all races. As long as she appears somewhere, the crowd and cheers will appear there.

People like the sense of security when they kill the enemy side by side, and they also like to listen to him chanting poems or playing the pipa under the tree. Yan Ning quickly accumulated considerable expectations and support in the alliance. If she sang against Xiao Qiao in a high posture, then even Xiao Qiao, who led the alliance with the image of a true emperor, would be very difficult.

...You really can find a good job for your friends. Such an unpleasant task, in comparison, simply killing the demons is much easier.

Yanning's complaints meant something, and she really wanted to say something about Gongjin's plan.

Gongjin, in order to respect Su Laotang's intention, we met Cao Shou in Zhongdu and obtained the orthodox military power, you once thought this behavior was meaningless and hypocritical.

Yanning said: What about what we are doing now?Can Bailu Cave find another leader who is better than her for a girl who wants to use benevolence to eliminate the hatred of the two tribes and make the world better?What will you get after you get her off?

He spoke very lightly, but Gongjin's reaction was very strong. He stood up suddenly. The anger burning on him in that moment was so shocked that the birds on the water flew away.

I hate the Guiyi tribe. They should not exist in the inferior things in the human world. I want to eliminate them without leaving any of them. So, Yan Ning, don’t stop me, I don’t want to have any disputes with you on this.

It is really hard to imagine that a person who has always been calm and rational has such an explosive side.

Therefore, Yan Ning, who was bleeding from ghost blood in her body, was very unhappy with these words, but she showed considerateness and said nothing.

Gongjin was implementing the plan very quickly. He used the spy hidden in the rebels to provoke them along the whispers that were suppressed in people's hearts. After just two days, the dissatisfaction began to roam among the rebels.

According to the leaders, the purpose of our battle this month is to build reputation, spread the reputation far away, and attract more people who are dissatisfied with current affairs to join.Since we have to consider the significance of propaganda, we must of course take action seriously. We must kill the enemy without leaving any armor, hang up the head of every resister, and burn all their villages, so that our reputation can spread quickly!

Among the rebels, this is a very common sense concept. Whether it is the ghosts and barbarians who have had war experience or various thieves, killing and setting fires is a common occurrence for them, and they are indeed winning battles through these means. It is the most direct and effective way to implement the strategic concept of the leader.

I don't want to cause unnecessary killings, and doing this... is not good for us at all, and... and being too obsessed with fighting will delay the retreat, which will pose danger to all of us.

Xiao Qiao's final reason for opposition sounds far-fetched, but everyone is not unable to understand it, because there have been two examples. Because the victorious rebels were too complacent, they were almost intercepted by the enemy's encirclement, causing significant losses.

From Gongjin's opinion, Xiao Qiao's position is really difficult.

As a ghost, facing the thousand-year blood feud between the two races, she cannot even publicly express the idea of ​​forgiveness and benevolence. She can only convince the people around her with practical reasons for profit.

But Gongjin, who was determined to take advantage of this, would certainly not be polite to her, but would use this opportunity to double down on the opportunity to ignite the anger of the ghosts again and again.

For the past two thousand years, we have been bullied and abused by humans. Now we are finally making our way forward, why should we be polite to humans?

Humans don’t know how many of our compatriots have killed. My father and grandpa are just put in cloth bags by humans and thrown into the water to drown. We cannot make humans feel better.

Those humans rob our family of land and take away all the money from our family, and I want them to pay their blood debts.The leader of the alliance is obviously a ghost, so why can’t he understand our pain?Will she just use us to kick us away after we get it done?

The suspicion quickly spread among the coalition forces, allowing Xiao Qiao to spend time and energy to deal with it in addition to busy military affairs.

Under such an anxious mood, the month of combat passed quickly, and Xiao Qiao led the entire rebel army to disappear.

The retreat location chosen by Xiao Qiao was in the Lianluo Mountains on the border between Wulian and Eltino. There was a forest called Shuilian at the Huaguo Mountain. It was surrounded by high mountains and steep rivers and rapids. It was a very hidden place. As long as there was sufficient food, a hundred thousand troops could spend a stable winter here, and wait until the next year, the snow melted before going out to continue fighting.

In the plan, as soon as they entered Shuilian, everyone would start to recuperate, but the current variable is that after entering Shuilian, the rebels' dissatisfaction that had been suppressed by the rebels finally exploded. The representatives of several forces in the alliance sent Yan Ning to question Xiao Qiao's mistakes.

Everyone comes out to make a living and work hard on the battlefield, just to live a good life in the future. I am confident that with my method, everyone can receive results within three years. In the past month, we have won steadily. Although we have not obtained much, it is a benefit several times compared to the losses and risks of sporadic combat in the past. Why do we have to vent with killing and destruction?

Xiao Qiao tried to use this statement to soothe the restless people, but the results were not ideal, because in this group with the highest strength, Xiao Qiao, as a woman, was still discriminated against. Even though she relied on hard fighting to win the throne at the Allied Conference, there was a whisper, wandering among the rebels.

...The leader of the alliance was just lucky and got two magical tools. Without those two magical tools, she was just a weak woman, unable to beat Lord Tao Qian, and she was not qualified to command us.

During these months of victory, Xiao Qiao was certainly popular, but Yan Ning became an idol for soldiers from all walks of life.

People who were originally jealous of Tao Qian and worried about whether this would be a counter-espionage plan, had long since seen her perform bravely on the battlefield.

During the battle, as soon as he saw blood, Yan Ning seemed to be crazy, with heavy palms blowing out in a series of times, and the snow arm flew, and he was able to kill every person trying to get close to him, tear open each closest body, and destroy all the lives he saw in his eyes.

Yan Ning, who had red eyes, almost killed her comrades by mistake several times.

Fighting side by side with her and watching her kill the enemy casually, although it feels very safe, you should also be very careful, because if you don’t pay attention at once and get too close, the friendly forces in the near may die faster than the enemy in the distance.

Whether it is attacking the army or siegeing the city, Yan Ning's combat power is unparalleled in the world, but the killing and blood caused is ten times that of others.

This fighting style that has been honed in the years of fighting with the demons is certainly a god of death coming to the world in the eyes of the enemy, but in the eyes of friendly troops, there is a god of war next to you.

Of course, not every friendly army likes this situation. Xiao Qiao has advised Yan Ning more than once. However, before these persuasions have been effective, Yan Ning has appeared in front of Xiao Qiao together with other leaders in the rebels.

Mr. Tao, I don’t want to fight you under such circumstances.

The leader of the alliance, Tao, keeps his word. Since he promised to carry out a revolution with you, he would never rebel. But you must not ignore the feelings of the brothers. Tao is just on behalf of them to give you some "advice".

If fists are the best tool for conversation, then Yaning’s persuasion is really powerful.

In one month, it was enough for the injury of the arm to heal. Tao Qian, who already knew that Xiao Qiao had two major artifacts, was targeted at this point in every attack and defense. The lightning-thunderous attack forced Xiao Qiao to breathe, let alone free up his hands to use the two major artifacts.

In this battle, leaders of all forces in the alliance were watching, and Gongjin, who secretly pushed this scene to happen, naturally would not miss this opportunity.

(Very good, Yan Ning attacks with all his might. This battle will surely be very exciting, and it will be beneficial to us regardless of victory or defeat. If Yan Ning wins, the prestige and status of the leader will be shaken. This shoddy alliance will immediately face division, rebellion will be successful, and after overthrowing Eltierno, it will be extinguished soon...)

But if Yan Ning defeated the battle, there would be no loss.

Su Laotang of Bailu Cave has made a verdict recently that Xiao Qiao's vision and ability are extremely threatening. It is not ruled out that before the rebels overthrew the Eltierno regime, they would assassinate her first and then blame others. The person responsible for this task is Gongjin.

Xiao Qiao, who uses two major artifacts, has no less martial arts than Yu Yaning, and of course Gongjin is not sure of winning. For the sake of safety, look at her actions more, so that she can also increase her chances of winning.

However, Gongjin, who was watching the game, soon discovered something wrong. Xiao Qiao, who kept dodging, obviously missed some gaps. If she grasped those gaps well, she would have time to launch two major artifacts to equalize the situation.

So, why didn’t Xiao Qiao seize the opportunity?Was she willing to lose the battle and determined to give up the throne of leader?This is absolutely impossible, because she tried so hard before to get the position of leader.

(No reason Ah, such concessions are unreasonable. Could it be... she is determined not to use it?)

When this thought appeared in her mind, Gongjin suddenly felt a trembling. The girl's insight, wisdom and courage were more than she expected. She, who had always been able to look directly at the essence of things, must have seen through it. She knew that the reason why this battle happened was because the battle between her and Yan Ning failed to convince the public. So the battle happened again, so she completely gave up using the two major artifacts and wanted to win with her real skills, so as not to repeat similar things.

(It's really courageous to win without two magical tools, but... is this possible?)

Gongjin suddenly realized that although Xiao Qiao's martial arts have always been good, what impressed people is her light and agile body skills and still have deep internal strength. However, no one can tell the reason for her attacking martial arts. She only remembers that she wore armor and hammers on the battlefield, which was really heroic.

But Xiao Qiao can no longer win by relying on magical tools, and if she cannot effectively traumatize the enemy, then no matter how good she can dodge, she will inevitably lose in the end.

In fact, after more than ten consecutive rounds of this battle, Xiao Qiao was already sweating profusely by Yan Ning's palm force, and was defeated. If she did not immediately turn the defense and make some surprising reversals, then Gongjin dared to assert that she could not stand the three moves.

(Uh, this is…)

Gongjin was watching the game and suddenly felt a strange fluctuation. Among the people present, I was afraid that only I could feel it, because this fluctuation was not an ordinary force, but a spiritual wave before the magician cast the spell. If he had not practiced the Eastern Immortal Art, he would definitely not be able to sense it.

(Why are there spiritual waves here? Could it be...)

Gongjin's mind turned sharply, but the battle had changed in an instant. Yan Ning, who had an overwhelming advantage in the battle, somehow hit the air with a palm. The powerful Five Mountains Divine Thunder did not hit Xiao Qiao, but instead imprinted on his left wrist. With the crisp sound of bone breaking, his left wrist broke and reversed 90 degrees.

Woo...

Yan Ning snorted in pain, and when she was about to hold on to pursue her, she lost Xiao Qiao's trace. She then felt a pain in her vest and was kicked by Xiao Qiao who was rapidly moving and changing positions, and she flew out.

The second fight between the two outstanding women ended in such a shocking form, and the onlookers next to them were stunned.

Xiao Qiao rushed to help Yan Ning up and asked everyone to find a doctor to treat the injury, but he left.

Leader Zhou Yu, come here.

Regardless of the consensus that each other should be alienated, Yan Ning asked Gongjin to speak; Gongjin went over immediately, listened with his ears, and wanted to know what had happened in the battle just now.

Yan Ning's face was not good, and her left wrist was even more painful. She lowered her voice and told her about it once.

In the battle just now, her palm was about to hit Xiao Qiao, but suddenly a strange situation happened. It was not the attack on the air or the sudden disappearance of the opponent, but a very strange feeling. If you want to say something suddenly seems to be missing.

The Five Mountains Divine Thunder's palms were originally used to lift the air, raise the arms, swing and exert force. Because this set of palm techniques is extremely powerful, it has long become Yan Ning's favorite martial arts. However, when he just put his palm on Xiao Qiao, he raised his arms and waved his palms down, but the action he waved seemed to disappear inexplicably. As a result, after raising his arms, he directly turned into exerting force. The force was emitted, but the entire position and time point were completely wrong. He did not hit the enemy, but instead hit the left arm with a palm.

It's a spell, and that girl can have some unusual magic, which I can't judge because there is nothing like that in the Eastern Immortal Arts as I know.

magic?Didn’t you say she grew up in Medici’s family?How could the Medici family use magic?Forget it, don’t worry about this, Gongjin, when she helped me just now, her whole palm was sweating, and her body was shaking even harder than me... Do you understand what I mean?

If Yan Ning had not reminded him, Gong Jin would have ignored this point, because everyone here was paying attention to Yan Ning, but in the end he forgot Xiao Qiao's departure.

Although the result of this battle seemed to be defeated by Yan Ning, if the spell was so useful, Xiao Qiao would not have used it until then. In other words, using that magical magic with unknown shape would definitely cost a huge loss or price, so Xiao Qiao hurriedly left after the war.

Your injury...

It’s just a wrist fracture, it’s no big deal. Do you remember our previous cooperation model?I have dressed up all the black faces. If you don’t become a novice, why are you still being so sad here?

Be careful yourself.

When Gongjin chased Xiao Qiao's figure, stayed away from the crowd, came to the back halfway of Huaguo Mountain, and crossed the layers of woods and broke branches, he knew that Yan Ning's vision was correct.

On the way Xiao Qiao left, there were quite obvious traces, and it became clearer and clearer as he walked.

The trace was not blood, but pieces of broken ice, scattered on the road, and it didn't seem very eye-catching, only Gongjin noticed the unusual.

When Gongjin finally chased the broken ice marks to the bank of the stream, he saw an extremely unusual scene: Xiao Qiao fell into the stream, his eyes closed, as if he had no sense of awakening, only half of his body was exposed... On the ice surface, with Xiao Qiao as the center, most of the stream was frozen rapidly, turning into a white world of ice and snow, expanding rapidly.

Gongjin knew what was going on at a glance.

This is obviously the result of using some extremely exhausting trick. If you lack cultivation, you will be backfired by the trick. If you do not rescue it in time, the consequences may be fatal. So Gongjin immediately broke the ice and saved the person, drew his sword and cut the ice cubes, and rescued Xiao Qiao from it.

Miss Xiao Qiao, leader, please wake up.

You... are you...Captain Zhou Yu?

Amid Gongjin's cry, Xiao Qiao opened her eyes weakly and recognized the man's identity.

During this period, every time the rebels retreated, Xiao Qiao and Gongjin were the main forces of the team behind the rear. The strength and activity of the Blood Shadow Brigade left a deep impression on Xiao Qiao, and now he quickly recognized Gongjin.

After a little replies, Xiao Qiao seemed to know how to save herself. He asked Gongjin not to speak out and not to disturb anyone, and to help cut down trees to make fire, surrounding Xiao Qiao. Then Xiao Qiao began to regulating his breathing cross-legged, causing the heat from the surrounding fire to enter his body, and quickly drive away the extremely cold air in his body.

Gongjin observed coldly, trying to take the opportunity to see Xiao Qiao's martial arts skills.

Logically speaking, this woman grew up in the Medici family since she was a child, so she naturally also learned her skills there. Observing her breathing regulation not only confirms this, but also can infer Kublai Khan's current martial arts achievements.

But after observing for a while, Gongjin felt disappointed, because he not only could not see Xiao Qiao's martial arts skills, but also did not find any clues related to the Medici family from this unique internal skill, and even vaguely felt that this internal skill seemed to have a great connection with the White Deer Cave.

Of course, this is 100% misjudgment. If it is really a Bailu Cave martial art, then how can I not see the truth?

(This level allows you to avoid it again, but you will not be seamless forever.)

When Xiao Qiao drove away the cold air in her body and recovered her spirits a little, she stood up and thanked Gongjin, but Gongjin had different ideas.

Yanning's move has failed again. If he is forced at this time, it will only make the action more obvious. Therefore, the most important thing to do is to use the most commonly used method in the past, one is to pretend to be a black face and the other is to get close to the enemy like this.

Leader, you are injured. Tao Qian is really too much. He actually hurts you Miss Xiao Qiao. Things must not be like this. I want to make this matter public immediately and let the brothers with a sense of justice in the league seek justice for you.

He was determined to provoke, and Gongjin's tone was particularly indignant. His sense of tension and gritting teeth almost made people believe that he would fight Tao Qian to the death for this. Of course, only he himself knew that these were completely simple disguises, just like the two beards on Yan Ning's face.

Please don't do this. Mr. Tao Qian just did what many brothers wanted to do. I competed with him in a fair duel recognized by everyone. He did not do anything that would arouse people's anger.

As Gongjin expected, Xiao Qiao did not intend to make this matter bigger. For this girl, harmony of the entire group is more important than everything, especially at this critical moment, and this hasty alliance cannot be divided.

However, these things were exactly what Gongjin wanted. On his way to escort Xiao Qiao back, he was like an indignant flower protector, criticizing many things in anger, including Tao Qian, the conservative forces in the alliance, and several leaders of the horse thieves who had bad intentions. He cleverly accused these people of conspiracy and regretted that due to Xiao Qiao's kindness and kindness, these people were all self-esteem and ill-hearted.

This is a very basic provocation technique. If successful, it will make Xiao Qiao's relationship with these people more tense, and the rift in the alliance will be greater. Even if the effect is not that great, it will also achieve another effect, because it is rare that there is a person who stands in Xiao Qiao's position like this, which should bring the distance between her and her.

After observing this past month, Gongjin has long noticed the fact that Xiao Qiao is very lonely.

Although she has always remained calm and calm in front of others and her smile never diminished slightly, Gongjin believes that she should be very lonely because she has no friends or relatives in the alliance. Xiao Qiao, who is only alone, cannot not feel lonely when she bears all kinds of heavy pressure.

If someone clearly expressed his desire to be on the same front with her at this time, she would have accepted it happily, and this was her own chance.

When the two quietly returned to Xiao Qiao's thatched house, Gongjin's angry face still seemed to be full of fire. Just from his appearance, no one would doubt his loyalty and sincerity.

Thank you, Captain Zhou Yu, but I think...thing is not all what you said. Hero Tao Qian often has out of control on the battlefield and his temper is a little irritable, but...

but?

Maybe I shouldn't say that.Usually, soldiers say that Mr. Tao is like a demon wolf, but I think... Mr. Tao has a pair of beautiful eyes. On the battlefield, those eyes reflect blood, but also sadness.

Oh...is there something like this?

Under the surprised expression, Gongjin felt that these words were very interesting. She had been with Yanning for hundreds of years, but she had never had such an idea. If she told Yanning like this, she would definitely find it ridiculous.

Well, Mr. Tao’s eyes always give me this feeling. I think your relationship with him must be good!

Well?What did you say?

A sudden sentence made Gongjin's turmoil. He couldn't think of why Xiao Qiao said this suddenly. At that moment, he could only stare at her, trying to find a little trace from her expression, and see if he wanted to pass by with words or draw his sword directly.

But Xiao Qiao's expression seemed sincere, and Gongjin couldn't find anything from it; and Xiao Qiao just explained what he said.

Because... General Zhou Yu, you also have beautiful eyes. In your eyes, you are as eager for blood as Mr. Tao, but you also have the same sadness as him... I think if you have the chance, you will definitely become good friends.

Under the moonlight, the sharp corners on Xiao Qiao's forehead and the patterns on her face represent the fact that she was bleeding from ghost blood; gazing at her face, Gongjin couldn't explain clearly for a moment what the shocking feeling brought to him by those words just now was.
