Li Zitong's three thousand elite soldiers and two thousand civilians who were brought to serve as logistics were almost completely taken over. Although more than 300 of them were killed, more than 200 people became idiots and deaf people, the rest were dizzy and unable to stand up. They could recover after resting for one or two days. After pulling these prisoners back to Liangdu, they could almost be reused with a little training.

The great increase in Liangdu's strength is almost a foregone conclusion, and most of this is the result of Chu Zheng's own efforts.

In addition, Chu Zheng ignored life and death and used tricks to kill Li Zitong's army, and the story of saving Zhu Quan and the other three people had long been spread throughout the camp through the word of mouth of the guards. This heavy friendship and outstanding record were enough to make more than a thousand soldiers including Chen Jiafeng respect and admire Chu Zheng, and regard him as a god.

So when he and Xu Ziling sat together and chatted in a low voice, no one dared to disturb the two of them. However, dinner time had passed for a long time. When Chen Jiafeng and other generals saw that the two were unaware of it, they begged Li Wenxiu to deliver the meal on their behalf.

The soldiers all knew that this beautiful girl had been following Chu Zheng and had ride a horse together to fight the enemy in the afternoon. It was hard not to make them think a lot.

The moon is in the sky, and the torches are swaying. Li Wenxiu has already put on the clothes for "flower-in-law" Shi Qinglu. Baidou's embroidered skirt makes this Jiangnan girl look particularly elegant and refined.

Xu Ziling took the big bowl full of food and saw Li Wenxiu secretly looking at Chu Zheng with a soft look and a slight smile on his face. He joked: "Miss Li, you call Brother Chu to be 'Big Brother Chu', but you call me 'Shaoxia Xu'. Do you know any stories between you and Brother Chu that I don't know?"

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were both gangsters in Yangzhou before, and their temperaments were a little off. Later, with their experience in the martial arts world, their martial arts strength increased more and more. However, they would still joke in front of their closest good friends. Since he regarded Chu Zheng as a good brother like Kou Zhong, he naturally did not avoid making jokes with Li Wenxiu.

When Li Wenxiu saw his cramped smile, her face turned red with shame. Even though she was generous, she didn't know how to answer for a while. When she saw Chu Zheng looking up at him, her heart was even more thumping.

This feeling is very strange, which is different from the bitterness and pain she felt when she thought she "liked" Su Pu. It is a feeling that is more exciting, joyful, warmer and more intoxicating.

Seeing that Li Wenxiu blushed, Chu Zheng rolled his eyes at Xu Ziling: "Where, Ziling wanted to chat with Miss Li, just say, don't get me involved."

"You really don't mind? It's rare to see beauties like Miss Li. Oh, don't glare at me, I'm just kidding."

Li Wenxiu was blushed when the two of them said it, stuffed the bowls and chopsticks to Chu Zheng, and turned around and ran away.

Seeing that she was still walking a little uneasy, Chu Zheng reminded him: "Girl, you have injuries on your body, don't run so fast."

"Hmph, I understand." Li Wenxiu was a little uncomfortable when she saw him calling him "Miss Li", but when she heard the word "girl" again, she seemed to have a kind of intimate tone. Somehow she became happy, but she insisted on turning around and humming at Chu Zheng before running happily.

Chu Zheng shook his head, turned around and saw Xu Ziling smiling, shrugging without explaining.

Seeing that he looked calm, Xu Ziling seemed to have no special thoughts on this beautiful Miss Li. He also remembered his concern for Guo Xiang, and no longer joked about Li Wenxiu, and turned the topic back to martial arts.

In combination with the method proposed by Xu Ziling, Chu Zheng tried to consolidate the Beiming true qi and Shenzhao true qi into bundles, and then spirally entangled together, and maintain some gaps between them to avoid contact with each other.

This is really a technique that tests spirit and care, and it also tests a person's experience and proficiency in using true qi.

Just a martial arts master like Chu Zheng, if an ordinary player, at most, he will follow the game's instructions to transport true energy, and it is impossible to achieve such fine regulation.

Chu Zheng tried for half an hour before he could barely achieve the spiral entanglement of Beiming true qi and Shenzhao true qi not invading each other, but the gap between the two true qi is still a bit large - this will directly reduce its explosive power.

You can imagine how different the combined force of two tight ropes and the combined force of two loose and twisted ropes are.

But Chu Zheng was still very excited.

This proves that the method proposed by Xu Ziling is feasible, and what he lacks at present is proficiency.

As long as he can skillfully twist the two true qi together, he can be used in combat easily, and even double the power of the true qi.

If you want to heal your wounds, you can also separate the surround true qi again, so that you can exert the effects of the Beiming true qi or Shenzhao true qi alone.

Chu Zheng even thought about cultivating the true qi of the Heart Jue in the future. At that time, he could first integrate the true qi of the Heart Jue and the true qi of the God Zhao into one, and then spiral the Beiming true qi. Of course, the premise is that he must first cultivate the Shen Zhao Sutra to the peak Great Perfection Realm, so that he can achieve the ability to condense the true qi of the God Zhao into silk and thread as he wishes.

At dawn the next day, Chu Zheng took Su Xinghe and Xu Ziling and a group of 800 cavalrymen to set out first, leaving 200 cavalry guards to reorganize the prisoners and civilians. The prisoners who had completely lost their combat effectiveness recovered their physical strength and then escorted them back to Liangdu.

Xue Muhua and other Hangu Eight Friends were ordered to stay in the Deaf Valley to take care of four seriously injured guards including Zhu Quan and a group of wounded soldiers from the Shaolin Sect.

Duan Yu, Murong Fu and two other groups also left one after another last night.

Before leaving, Duan Yu made friends with Chu Zheng and Xu Ziling, and then left with his personal guards after expressing his kindness and admiration.

Murong Fu just nodded coldly and hurriedly left with Wang Yuyan, Deng Baichuan, Bao Bu, Bao Bian, Gong Yeqian and others.

Abi returned the baby to Li Wenxiu, and repeatedly apologized to her and Chu Zheng, and finally hurriedly caught up with Murong Fu who had left with a dark face.

Li Wenxiu and the guards were quite angry about Murong Fu's coldness, but Chu Zheng didn't take it seriously.

He has been in the world for many years, and I don’t know how many ungrateful people have met. He does not plan for each other. When he meets him, he will be treated as a stranger. He should be wary of him when he should be wary of him. He should be conspired as he should be conspired as he should be. He is not worth being angry about this at all.

Of course, there is also bad news. The guard who was sent to find the adopted baby family has been found, but he has been attacked by Li Zitong. Chu Zheng asked him to bury him, but he did not explain everything in detail.

Since he couldn't find a suitable family, Li Wenxiu had to use porridge to feed the baby girl, who was temporarily named "Xiao Lian", and temporarily acted as "mom".

In fact, Chu Zheng originally thought she would say goodbye and leave and go to Jiangnan to find relatives or hometown, but when she saw that she never mentioned this, she naturally followed him back to Liangdu. Chu Zheng wanted to ask several times, but he swallowed it back.

Forget it, this girl’s freedom is not the only way to go.

The group was staying overnight in the morning and rushed back to the outside of Liangdu City on the fourth day. Sure enough, they saw Xu Yuanlang's morale depressed and were retreating one after another.
