It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 788

Passing through the white fog that just emerged in the forest in the early morning, the dewdrops of the autumn night soaked the branches, revealing strange purple-brown patterns.

Cheng Dalei carried his sword and walked forward on the rotten leaves and branches. He experienced a night of fierce fighting, and now he is physically and mentally exhausted. If there is a bed now, Cheng Dalei will immediately fall down and sleep forever. But Cheng Dalei couldn't fall, and Xu Shenji and his group didn't know where they had fallen, and they had to find them.

When passing through the white fog, Cheng Dalei covered his mouth and nose, and the mountains and forests were filled with miasma. Many people were walking in the woods when they fell to the ground and never got up again. Such wet weather is the most exhausting of a person's qi and blood. Hunters who have been hunting in the forest for many years are rarely able to live a hundred years.

I don't know where they are yet...

"The big boss..."

A tentative voice suddenly sounded, Cheng Dalei was stunned, and saw Xu Shenji emerge from a clump of weeds on the side of the road. Behind him is Cui Baiyu who is leading the black bull. With a timid expression on his face, Cui Baiyu quietly looked at Cheng Dalei.

Last night, I really walked before the gate of hell, and anyone could be killed. It was a fluke that Cui Baiyu was able to survive until now. Even though Cui Baiyu claimed to be brave, but he had never experienced it himself, how could he be qualified to say he was not afraid.

And people who have experienced it themselves often don't say that they are not afraid.

"Are you all right?" Cheng Dalei asked.

"It's all right, they're all alive." Xu Shenji wiped the dew on his face and asked, "Master, didn't you see that old nun?"

"died."

Xu Shenji was stunned, then rubbed his face, and sighed softly, "Oh, it turned out to be dead."

"Where are the others?" Cheng Dalei asked.

"I don't know, they're all gone." Xu Shenji said, "The boss, are we going to find them?"

Cheng Dalei shook his head, Shan Xiongxin and Liu Facai took Qiao Nongyun, a weak woman, and it should be no problem for the three of them to protect themselves. Even if he could just find a place to hide, he would still be able to wait for the storm to pass before returning to Liangzhou. And Cheng Dalei really didn't have time to delay here. A fire in the Rong tribe has burned the empire's pot, but Cheng Dalei is still stumbled here.

"Go, go back to Liangzhou."

Cheng Dalei stepped forward and suddenly stumbled under his feet. Thanks to Xu Shenji's slow response, he supported him in time. Feeling that Cheng Dalei's wrist was frighteningly cold, Xu Shenji was startled:

"Master, are you sick?"

"It's nothing, I can hold on."

Cheng Dalei waved his hand, only to realize that he didn't even have the strength to raise his arm, his body was cold and hot, and his temples kept drumming.

Xu Shenji sighed, supported Cheng Dalei on the back of the black bull, led the bull by himself, and the three of them set out on the road together.

Now Cheng Dalei is lying on the back of the black bull, and Xu Shenji is walking in front with his hands behind his back, and there is a rare serious look on his face.

What is the big boss trying to do? Even though he is so sick that he can't walk, he still has to be reluctant. The head of the family fell ill, Cui Baiyu was a weak woman, and there were many obstacles ahead, and it was impossible to say how many people were waiting to kill her group.

The heavy burden of thousands of dollars was placed on Xu Shenji alone, and Xu Shenji clenched his teeth firmly: At present, he is completely on his own, and let's see how this military division strategizes and tricks everyone like a child.

He turned around and patted Cheng Dalei on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I will take you back to Liangzhou."

Cheng Dalei was at a loss, but when he heard this, he was shocked. Relying on Xu Shenji, he still didn't bring himself into the gate of hell. With the last bit of consciousness, Cheng Dalei entered the system interface and ignited the beacon of the system.

...

Xizhaoguan was breached in one night, the Rong tribe viciously bit a hole in the iron wall of the empire, and 200,000 army commanders drove straight in and entered the empire.

Breaking through Xizhaoguan, it is close to Chang'an, and the imperial flowers and mountains are within easy reach.

When the news reached Chang'an, Li Letian was so frightened that he fell directly from the dragon bed. He leaned against the edge of the bed for a long time and did not move, and the eunuchs and maids around him did not dare to come and help him.

Li Letian sighed up to the sky: "Father, father, what kind of mess did you leave to your child?"

Trapped in Chang'an and fought bloody battles in the state, he succeeded to the throne with great difficulty, but was turned into a puppet by Cui Xiang. The emperor, who was forced to be high and high, took a risk and did a single job, and finally removed Cui Xiang, and holding the vassal king meeting was considered to temporarily stabilize the situation of the empire. Li Letian thought in his heart, give himself some time to slowly clean up the old mountains and rivers.

At this time, the Rong tribe called.

This time is very different from the past. They bit through the northwest barrier and rushed towards Chang'an. There are 200,000 iron cavalry of the Rong tribe, and they want their horses to step on the splendid Chang'an. How should Jingzhou resist.

Although there are 300,000 Guardsmen in Jingzhou, they are scattered all over the place, not to mention that most of them are in the hands of the wealthy families. There are not many troops that Li Letian really holds in his hands.

After a long time, Li Letian stood up from the ground and let out a breath of turbid air in his chest: "Change clothes."

The maids and eunuchs who were serving him surrounded him and put on a purple-gold crown and a nine-dragon robe for him.

It was a little early today, and when Li Letian arrived, the crowd was already arguing. The Rong tribe broke through the Xizhao Pass, and in a few days, troops would be under the city.

Civilian officers and military generals quarreled, and in the final analysis it was one thing: how to deal with the Rong army?

Most people want peace talks, and only a few people want to fight with the Rong tribe. When Li Letian appeared, they had already skipped the stage of war and peace talks. Now, how to discuss peace talks?

How much land was ceded, how much wealth was given, and which princess was sent to marry, so that the Rong tribe could withdraw their troops and return to the grasslands.

Li Letian is no stranger to peace talks. He once personally led a negotiation with the Rong tribe. At the same time, he also knew very well that peace talks would not lead to any good results.

The relationship between countries is the same as the relationship between people. If you don't have enough strength and only rely on servility, you will never be respected by others.

"This battle..." Li Letian finally spoke, the voices in the hall became quiet, and everyone waited for the answer in his mouth: "Death battle."

There was silence, and everyone wondered if the emperor was hysterical, why he was full of nonsense.

An old official staggered to his knees: "Your Majesty, think twice, the Rong tribe is riding a tiger and a wolf, the people of the Empire are in need of recuperation, and it is still a hundred years' strategy to endure the humiliation for a while."

More people knelt down to ask Li Letian for peace talks with the Rong tribe. What they said was the righteousness of the country, and what they had in mind were the people of Limin. It seemed that Li Letian didn't care about them.

Looking at the messy crowd under the steps, Li Letian sighed softly and slowly said four words from the bottom of his heart.

"Powerless."
