Chapter 53 The Price of a Lifetime
In the dark night, the U-Class vanguard cavalry, which had suffered heavy losses, did not retreat too far, but retreated to a meadow where Guzhu could barely see the shadows of the night.
As the entire cavalry's iron hooves stopped hitting the ground, a cavalry seemed abrupt.
Because at a certain moment, only the rider's horse was still moving, and in the next moment, several riders surrounded the rider and surrounded the rider in the middle.
"Why?"
A strong Wu general wearing a tiger-skinned robe with a giant scimitar on his back looked at the rider angrily and shouted sternly. & Novel nbsp;Faced with the angry questioning of the general who was half a head taller than him, the rider who looked extremely ordinary and covered with a layer of black scarf on his face looked back calmly, saying, "What why?"
Such an answer immediately made the angry eyes of the strong Wu general burn.
"Why have to pay that price to assassinate the boy?"
He squeezed out an extremely cold voice from his teeth, "Why are you going to retreat soon? You should understand that even if the assassination is successful, we practitioners will not be able to come back. Then? Do you still have to retreat?"
A horse neighed.
Only when the power in the rider's hands changes, these long-trained military horses that are almost as one of the masters can make such sounds.
The neighing sound of the horse also means that all these riders want to question this person.
Obviously, if this rider cannot give a satisfactory answer to these people, he will become a piece of flesh and blood on this grassland to sacrifice to the Wu warriors who had died because of his decision.
However, this rider with a black scarf and obviously not a Wu accent still didn't care at all. He just raised his head indifferently and looked towards the direction of the hillside in the distance. "Before questioning me again, you must first understand one thing: it is not that I want to be your Wu's general, but that your Queen Wanyan asked me to be your Wu's general. And even your General Yelu agrees with this. So don't suspect that my leadership has other purposes. If you doubt me, you just doubt that you, Queen Wanyan and General Yelu."
His words and words themselves were so unceremonious that a louder neighing sounded. However, although the horse riders used their hands unnaturally, their expressions in their eyes had changed.
"You are angry now, just because you don't know who the boy is."
The cavalryman's eyes fell on the strong Wu general in front of him, but his tone became strangely gentle: "Not to mention those practitioners just now, even those practitioners just now, the lives of those practitioners just now are not as good as the life of the young man."
"Why?"
It was still three words that were asked at the beginning, but at this time the strong Wu general had lowered his head to express his respect and advice.
"Because that young man is Ding Ning, the first name of the Minshan Sword Society of the Great Qin Dynasty. From this simple battle situation, he represents the Minshan Sword Sect. The reason why your General Yelu did not lead the army personally is because he wanted to prevent the people of the Minshan Sword Sect from participating in this battle."
The cavalry said lightly: "If it is for the general trend of the future that you may not be able to understand, even if our cavalry army is destroyed in exchange for killing him, it is worth it, because he is the person with the fastest cultivation in the entire world of cultivators to date, and the person with the strongest comprehension in the entire world of cultivators. The strongest young talent in the Qin Dynasty before can only be his student."
Minshan Sword Sect, General Yelu... Several words "大" are like thunder, which makes the bodies of all the cavalry around them shake.
A heavy breath sounded like a horse's neigh.
"A person like him will not die easily even without the protection of the cultivators of Minshan Sword Sect. I don't believe that the Qin Dynasty would let people like him die easily. At least with my understanding of Yuanwu and Zheng Xiu, for some truly powerful people, especially those who are still controllable, they will make the best use of them. They must let these people die like a candle burning out." The rider did not care about the changes in the expressions of these people, and then said in a slow voice: "I have a very good chance to assassinate this young man, just to see what powerful cultivators there are behind the young man... But I didn't expect that the young man would be so strong, and I didn't expect that the young people around him would be so strong."
"What you know is really scarce. You don't know that this young man not only has terrible cultivation, but also has strong judgment and insight. Until today, I can be sure that he is definitely the most terrifying opponent I have ever met, as a general."
"In a sense, whether we can complete this mission and whether we can leave the tens of thousands of Qin troops on this wasteland depends on whether we can kill the young man."
"Being able to kill him means that the reinforcements have no trump card. If we cannot kill him, then we can only give up this operation and return. As many Qin troops as possible can be killed, as many Qin troops as possible."
These Wu people naturally know more than anyone else what the price they have to pay if they force tens of thousands of Qin troops to be like a dog that has been lost.
It seems completely unbelievable that it is possible to completely give up the final siege just for a teenager.
However, in this cavalry's explanation, even some low-level soldiers who only know how to fight know that this is probably a cruel fact.
"Then why didn't we fill in all of us just now?"
The strong Wu general had long lost his previous anger, lowered his head even more humbly, and said, "We are not afraid of death."
"I know you are not afraid of death."
The cavalryman looked at him seriously and said, "But as a general, what we need to consider is not the issue of life and death, but whether this will work for victory. If he cannot kill him and all five thousand cavalry are destroyed here, this battle will not be won, and tens of thousands of Qin troops can also return to Yinshan."
"What should I do next?" The strong Wu general raised his head and opened his mouth wide and looked at him helplessly, looking at him like a fish that was about to die of thirst.
"Wait."
The rider said coldly: "I have sent a message to most of the people and sent enough and powerful enough practitioners to come over. We want to try whether we can kill the young man. If we can't kill him, we can only retreat."
All these Wu family cavalrymen did not know when or what means the information was transmitted, but they naturally believed that what the rider said was true.
...
...
Stolen on the dark hillside, Ding Ning no longer talked to some generals of the Guard Army and the generals of Guzhuguanzhong, but sat down next to Changsun Qianxue's carriage.
"You have been here twice a while. I have just reminded you that those two people are abnormal, but I have nothing to tell you. What exactly do you want to do?"
When a sergeant brought the food box and a charcoal basin, the moment Ding Ning handed the food box into the carriage, Changsun Qianxue's cold voice came into his ears.
Ding Ning hesitated for a moment, then said seriously: "I don't think you should take action."
Changsun Qianxue said: "Why should I take action?"
Ding Ning put the charcoal basin on the front of the car and said, "Because I want to bet, the general in the other formation just now wanted to try to kill me... and waiting passively for the other party's next move is always the stupidest tactic. I want to try first whether I can kill the general in the other formation."
Changsun Qianxue didn't say anything.
Ding Ning raised her head, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Don't be angry, you know I know that I know Zheng Xiu too much, so she will definitely arrange for someone to follow me... Only when I really encounter death will her people appear. I want to force her people out, otherwise we will never be safe and will never escape from her sight."
The carriage was silent for a few more breaths, and then Changsun Qianxue's cold voice rang out, "I won't take action."
Ding Ning also nodded silently and stood up. Then he began to slowly walk down the slope, looking at the bright moon that was becoming brighter and brighter in the night sky, thinking that it would take a lifetime to truly see and understand someone clearly. This is too expensive.
