The emperor read the story book in the memorial

The atmosphere was a little stiff, Li Jianyu subconsciously looked at Xu Zheng's face, and then froze.

It was an extremely terrifying face, the skin was extremely mottled, and the facial features could not be seen clearly because of holes and black and blue bruises.

Immediately, Wan Yunliu's face was full of apology, but looking at Xu Zheng, he was worried that he would be angry, so he didn't dare to speak.

"You are real." Zhao Linxu smiled and picked up the mask and returned it to Xu Zheng: "Don't mind, Wan Yunliu picked up your mask, and you can pick his clothes off too. I'll help you." Tie up Wan Yunliu and make sure he doesn't resist."

Wan Yunliu: "??"

Chongxi couldn't help laughing at the side.

Xu Zheng also curled his lips slightly, originally wanting to express kindness, but it's a pity that such a gesture on this face is even more... terrifying.Zhao Linxu was grinning, but he was so fucking in his heart that he forced himself not to look away.

After taking the mask, Xu Zheng put it on again and said, "It's okay. It's just a surface, it's all external."

Seeing that Wan Yunliu was still apologizing to himself, after the two got off the ring, Xu Zheng said, "I don't hate this thing either, it reminds me what to do."

"doing what?"

"The enemy I was about to kill burned my face in front of my lover in order to frighten me and my lover, and put Gu worms in it to threaten him."

Wan Yunliu was startled.

Feng Gu Qianli also said with a smile: "In the past, Xu Zheng was the most beautiful man in our Daxi capital. Wearing a mask was because he was worried that he would not have the deterrent effect on the battlefield. Maybe he can recover his face after taking Gu."

"I see." Wan Yunliu nodded.

After tidying up, several people planned to go back to the tent to take a shower. Except for Zhao Linxu and Li Jianyu, the rest of them were covered in sweat.

Zhao Linxu smiled and said, "Let's rest early today, and we will be leaving tomorrow."

Wan Yunliu nodded, glanced at Li Jianyu's slightly swollen belly, and said that he would follow along.

After all, Zhao Linxu is the emperor, he has to go to the battlefield and command, and there are too many things to take care of, Wan Yunliu is worried that Zhao Linxu will ignore Li Jianyu, so he can't rest assured.

Before Chongxi left, he stopped beside Zhao Linxu, looking a little apprehensive.

Zhao Linxu looked down at him.

Chongxi looked up at the tall man in front of him, paused, and couldn't laugh or cry: "They are so tall, even taller than me."

Zhao Linxu was taken aback.

Chongxi took a deep breath, touched Zhao Linxu's hair on tiptoe, and said, "Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so be more careful."

Then, as if hiding something, before Zhao Linxu could react, he saw Chongxi slipping away quickly.

Zhao Linxu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but felt warm in his heart.

Li Jianyu was also happy for Zhao Linxu, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"

Zhao Linxu touched his nose and smiled like a child.

"Yes."

As long as you're alive, you're fine...

Now my elder brother is very happy, having a sweet time with Feng Gu Qianli, and someone to take care of him. Zhao Linxu doesn't have to ask what happened back then, why Chongxi is alive, and his appearance and voice have changed drastically.

Zhao Linxu was in a good mood, pinched Li Jianyu's nose and said, "You really are my daughter-in-law."

Li Jianyu kicked Zhao Linxu.

This man was originally a hooligan, but now he is getting more and more presumptuous!

"Oh, daughter-in-law, why are you kicking your husband-in-law all day long. It seems that you are going to revive your husband."

"How to revive?" Li Jianyu crossed his arms and looked at Zhao Linxu with raised eyebrows.

Zhao Linxu counseled, "I'll wash your feet tonight."

Li Jianyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he pulled Zhao Linxu's front collar like a big wolfhound, and the two left the school grounds to have dinner after arguing.

The next day, the army set off again.The Northern and Southern Army and the Ghost Face Army moved forward following the formation.

Zhao Zhanqi led the army, and Zhao Linxu and Li Jianyu happily followed behind the team.

"Little carp, have you ever been to the real frontier?"

Li Jianyu shook his head slightly.

"But my uncle told me that the frontier is not desolate, but magnificent and beautiful, and he must go there once in his life."

"Indeed." Zhao Linxu smiled.

Zhao Linxu was very happy in his heart. After confessing his relationship with Li Jianyu, although the two did not fully trust each other, the two who had tasted the sweetness for the first time felt that they looked at each other full of sweetness.I didn't feel tired at all after traveling for the past two days.

"It's a canyon in front of me."

After hearing Zhao Linxu's words, Li Jianyu was taken aback.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. This canyon is very spacious. The enemy army cannot hide, let alone attack the army by throwing something from above." Zhao Linxu smiled and said: "The frontier has become Zhao Zhanqi's second home, and he must choose the best one." route."

"Of course, but you still have to be more careful. I've also looked at the map. This road is flat. If the enemy wants to attack by surprise, this is the only place."

Zhao Linxu nodded.

They all noticed that Zhao Zhanqi and Xu Zheng began to make the army change their formation, focusing on defense.

The heavy snow covered the cliff not far away with a white blanket, and the horse stepped on the snow in a series of hoofprints.

Zhao Linxu asked Li Jianyu to stay beside Wan Yunliu, while he rode his horse to the front of the line. Zhao Zhanqi asked beside him, "What's wrong, is there something strange?"

"The enemy is lurking."

Zhao Linxu looked around.

"I didn't see it, I felt it." Zhao Zhanqi smiled and said, "Didn't you also feel something and come to ask me?"

Zhao Linxu raised his eyebrows.

boom -

The sky and the earth shook, and Zhao Linxu only felt that the ground under the horse's hooves was shaking violently, as if something heavy fell to the ground.

Then came the deafening roar of the beast.

"Put in formation, meet the enemy!"

To everyone's surprise, what they saw was not the enemy they imagined, but huge gluttons.

As the drums started to beat, Zhao Linxu and Zhao Zhanqi rushed forward without any fear.

There were killing sounds everywhere.

Zhao Linxu wrapped the hands of Taotie in front of him with an iron whip, and Zhao Zhanqi took advantage of this opportunity to jump up and cut off Taotie's head with a sword.

The two have fought and exchanged ideas countless times in the past, but now it is the first time they cooperate, perhaps because they are familiar with each other's martial arts and movements, and they have a tacit understanding. Gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, huge creatures are everywhere they reach Fall down one by one.

The rest of the soldiers also formed countless teams to kill this terrifying monster.

Zhao Linxu was on the verge of killing, but he only felt that Yuefeng's body under him was tilted, as if being pulled down by something.

Zhao Linxu was thrown off balance by such a coherent movement and fell off the horse.

Zhao Zhanqi was in a bad mood, and sure enough, he saw a human head suddenly appearing on the ground around him, followed by his neck and body...

It's a goblin!

There was a Taotie with superior strength and speed on the top, and goblins entangled and tugged on the bottom. In addition, the Beinan Army and the Ghost Face Army were all mortals, and they were already a little tired after driving for two days.

The situation is not very fast.

Today is considered to have seen the horror of these alien races.

Zhao Linxu drew out his dagger and stabbed straight into the head of the goblin whose body was half buried in the ground, and got on the horse again, but the goblins kept coming, so it was difficult to guard against.

Zhao Zhanqi said: "We are at a disadvantage, I think it's best to retreat first, and don't want to fight!"

This is the first time that the army has encountered gluttonous and goblins. Without actual combat experience in the past, they naturally don't know how to deal with it, so the formation is already a little messed up.Now it is best to retreat back and prepare before there are any major casualties and wait for reinforcements.

Zhao Linxu shouted: "This is your territory, you are the master."

The signal flares for retreat were thrown into the air, and the war drums also played the retreat song.

On the other side, Xu Zheng naturally saw the signal to retreat, but he was a little unwilling to look at the general Rong Qi who was not far away.

Xu Zheng was about to kill Rong Qi.

Let's...

He is Feng Guheng's chief general.

Xu Zheng's eyes seemed to be clamored by a violent storm.

"Xu Zheng." Feng Ju Qianli frowned and said, "Don't love war."

"Ghost-faced soldiers are not afraid of death!"

"Xu Zheng!" Feng Gu Qianli shouted, "Although the Ghost Face Army is not afraid of death, do you want them to die in vain?!"

The style of the ghost face army has always been like this, like a life-threatening ghost from hell, who would rather die than retreat, so it makes people frightened, but this time it is different.

"Retreat!" Xu Zheng also released a signal flare to make the lieutenant beside him change his formation.

Feng Gu Qianli's eyes widened and he shouted, "Chongxi!"

Chongxi who was on the side immediately understood, and together with Feng Gu Qianli, they caught up with Xu Zheng from left to right and outflanked and stopped him.

Xu Zheng drew his sword and wanted to sweep away the obstacles, but was immediately blocked by Feng Gu Qianli and Chongxi and couldn't move.

"General Ghost Face, the person we want to kill is not Rong Qi, but Feng Guheng! You are my general, don't be short-sighted and forget the purpose of our trip!"

Looking at Feng Gu Qianli's serious eyes, Xu Zheng froze.

"I lost my temper."

XXXXXX

The North and South Army and the Ghost Face Army camped in the forest not far from the canyon, waiting for reinforcements and discussing countermeasures.

Taotie's huge body makes it easier to aim. They can use torches, bows and arrows, but the earth spirits are haunted, so they can only turn to Baihuamen for help.

If Baihuamen used white silk and satin to create a volley formation in the air to help them, then they would be able to deal with goblins with twice the result with half the effort.

Li Jianyu wrote a letter to Hua Huanxi, and Zhao Linxu asked the deputy general to visit the queen in Dachai himself.

At night, the barracks did not fall silent, and the sounds of drills could still be faintly heard around.

Xu Zheng sat in a relatively quiet corner of the barracks, looking at the fire in front of him, rubbing half of the jade pendant in his hand, lost in thought.The jade pendant looked ordinary, but Xu Zheng's movements of touching it were extremely gentle.

"Why is General Xu here, still not sleeping? You have to get up early tomorrow to try the formation with me."

Xu Zheng turned his head and saw Zhao Zhanqi walking slowly, still holding a wine bag in his hand.

"A little longer."

Zhao Zhanqi sat next to Xu Zheng, paused and said, "I heard what happened today."

Xu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly under the mask.

Zhao Zhanqi uncorked the wine bag, took a sip and said, "A commander of an army is most afraid of being emotional and unable to make a rational judgment. If we are a little careless, it will be the whole army who will die with us."

"It's me, Meng Lang, today, and I will definitely not do it again next time." Xu Zheng tapped the half of the jade pendant lightly with his fingertips.

These days he seemed to be fine on the surface, but his heart was already in a state of chaos, turmoil caused by anger, unwillingness and powerlessness, and what happened today was a wake-up call to him.

It is not shameful to lose, but it is a shame if you fail after a setback, or even lose your footing.He is not afraid of death, but if he dies, what will the man in the palace do.

"That's good. If a man can bend and stretch, he can achieve great things." The alliance between the North-South Army and the Ghost Face Army is a grasshopper on the same line, and Zhao Zhanqi naturally does not want Xu Zheng to make an irrational decision.

"I heard that you had a conflict with the emperor before." Xu Zheng looked at Zhao Zhanqi with great interest. With Zhao Zhanqi's understanding, could it be that there is something else in his heart?

It is said that Beinan and Ghost Face Army are on the same boat, Xu Zheng doesn't want Zhao Zhanqi and Zhao Linxu to have any more troubles.

"You misunderstood." Zhao Zhanqi shook his head and said: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Since I lost, I won't think about it anymore."

Originally, the loser was a bandit, but he is still a member of the North and South Army, and it is enough to be able to stay with Xue Ni.

"Go to sleep."
