Who would have thought that Gu Jiu yawned and said tiredly: "Beauty, pretend you didn't see it."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded frantically.

After that, Gu Jiu, who had regained his true form, left, leaving the girl there in deep thought.

Are you really leaving like this?

Trust me so much?

When Gu Jiu joined the main force, the battle was almost over.

News about Gu Jiu's elders killing enemies came back from the front one after another. It was said that at least hundreds of giants were killed, so that everyone present looked at Gu Jiu with some awe.

Gu Jiu's background is so terrifying.

Gu Jiu was tired, really tired.

He went directly to a flat ground outside the forest, pulled out the rattan chair from his sword bracelet, and lay down.

……

The forest fire burned all night long. After the battlefield was cleared, the wounded were carried out one after another.

Gu Jiu lay there but did not fall asleep immediately.

He was tired, but couldn't sleep.

Looking at the wounded soldiers who were missing limbs, Gu Jiu frowned slightly.

War was still too cruel, especially for him who had lived such a peaceful life in his previous life. The psychological pressure was quite great.

In this battle, the coalition forces lost thousands of people, most of whom were cavalrymen of the Thunder Army, and the rest were some young practitioners.

The extent of the damage was far lower than expected, so although everyone was in a heavy mood, they looked much more relaxed.

They actually won.

Over the years, when faced with provocations of this level of combat power, the humans of the North, whether they were the imperial court or the cultivation sects, always preferred to keep their distance and endure, not daring to engage in a head-on confrontation.

But this time, everything is different.

Humanity has sounded the clarion call for a counterattack. Will it bring bursts of vitality like a spring breeze blowing into the winter land?

They defeated an army of thousands of long-waisted giants. This was a battle worthy of being recorded in history.

This was also a baptism of blood and fire. After such a brutal battle, those high-ranking sect disciples also realized the cruelty of war and their own fragility.

And they seemed to have really found the meaning of practice.

There are so many terrible things in the world, so isn't the meaning of their practice to prevent the world from falling into such dire straits?

Compared to the lofty heavenly way, they feel that this goal is more practical, or more meaningful, and more worthy of their pursuit?

But this was just their thought and they didn't say it out loud.

Or rather, they dare not say it out loud.

From childhood to adulthood, their teachers have taught them that the Way of Heaven is supreme, and that realm is supreme. This is a truth passed down from generation to generation and is deeply rooted. Even if they have doubts, they dare not challenge it.

After such a tough battle, even the older generation of the sect couldn't help but sigh.

They have lived for many years and are several times older than those young disciples, but this kind of battle is the first time even for many of them.

At their age, it is like a race against time. Only by breaking through the realm can they live longer, otherwise they can only wait for the day of extinction.

Such a life seems very compact, but it is rather empty.

What happens after living longer? Living even longer?

And such a battle made them realize that life can be not so monotonous and there are other possibilities.

Gu Jiu lay there, the light from the sky shining on the earth. Even if it was not warm enough, it was bright enough.

Accompanied by the groans of thousands of wounded soldiers, everyone returned to the capital.

Along the way, Gu Jiu went from lying on the chair to lying on Xiao Hui's back.

Su Ying and Xiao Qi have been following Gu Jiu. Seeing Gu Jiu like this, Su Ying felt a little distressed.

She knew that Gu Jiu was really tired, which could be seen from his trembling right hand.

Gu Jiu's right hand, which held the sword, had indeed done too many things in this day and night.

However, thinking that those things had been completely destroyed, Gu Jiu felt a lot more relieved.

In the Angry Thunder Army formation, the youngest female cavalrywoman kept looking at Gu Jiu, as if she wanted to understand what kind of person this young man was.

However, she didn't get an answer.

Because they were about to return to the camp and because they had won a long-awaited victory, the atmosphere on the field was much more relaxed.

But when they were less than ten miles away from the Water Cutoff Fort, someone came to report from the front with a nervous expression.

But when they heard that Broken Water Fort had been occupied by an army, everyone's face changed.

Not to mention whether the army would take the opportunity to attack them, there were more than a thousand wounded soldiers still waiting to enter the fort for treatment.

Gu Jiu, Liu Fengyao and their group were standing on a higher earthen slope. They could clearly see the two elephants outside the Duanshui Fort, as well as the masked and scantily clad women on the fort.

Liu Fengyao narrowed her eyes and said in a cold tone, "It's the Nanzhao army. Nanzhao has rebelled."

The Nanzhao Kingdom was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and had been subservient to the Tang Dynasty for more than 500 years. It was mainly composed of the Wuman and Baiman tribes.

Because of the appearance of such a strange person in the Miao area, it seemed as if a piece of the Tang territory was missing there. Whether Nanzhao was doing business or making a pilgrimage, it had to take a detour and enter the Tang Kingdom through Tianmen Pass.

This was naturally inconvenient, but with Nanzhao and the Tang Kingdom sandwiched between them, that strange force could not spread.

Therefore, over the years, Nanzhao Kingdom remained a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the empress was also very generous. Not only did she exempt many tribute items, she even provided a lot of support to Nanzhao Kingdom.

Who would have thought that such a generous empress would actually raise such an ungrateful person.

But how did they get in here? Did they break through the Tianmen Pass?

Tianmen Pass is a natural barrier, known as "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot break through", and it is heavily guarded, so it is extremely difficult to break through.

Liu Fengyao analyzed that if Tianmen Pass was not broken, there was only one possibility.

It was the one from Miaojiang who let them in!

Could it be that the Nanzhao Kingdom and that thing have joined forces?

Thinking of this, Liu Fengyao couldn't help but feel a chill all over her body.

The Nanzhao army in the fort had obviously known of their presence for a long time and blew the bone flutes, but did not attack.

The sound of their flutes was very harsh, like someone scratching nails on metal.

They are provoking them, they want to disrupt their own position.

Liu Fengyao and the others naturally knew this, but the wounded who kept groaning told them that they were now really in a dilemma.

If they choose to choose other places to treat the wounded, the distance is too far, and they don’t have enough food and supplies. If the enemy attacks in the middle of the journey, they will most likely be wiped out.

This is the hateful thing about the Nanzhao army. They are like a snake that has been hit in the vital spot and can do nothing about it.

At this time, Gu Jiu stood up and said, "Don't discuss it anymore. It will be dark by then."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu, wondering what he wanted to do.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Jiu stretched the muscles of his shoulders and said calmly, "I'll go."

He stood there with his eyes facing the sunlight, so naturally no one could see how deep the murderous intent was surging in his eyes.

(PS: Today is only three chapters. I need to build up some emotions and make it clear tomorrow.)

Chapter 48 Walking Alone

When everyone heard Gu Jiu say "I'll go," they were confused and didn't understand what he meant.

What am I going to?

Where are you going? What are you going to do?

Or are you cursing?

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Gu Jiu walked straight towards Duanshui Fort.

He was alone, without a sword in his hand, and he just walked like that, neither slow nor fast.

The light from the sky fell on him just like it fell on the surface of a lake, with more beautiful ripples and a bit of dazzling.

At this time, Liu Fengyao finally reacted and stammered, "Is he going to seize the fort alone?"

"Wait! Shouldn't your elders go?"

The same thought appeared in everyone's mind. At that moment, they felt a warm current rushing into their minds.

Will such a scene really appear today?

One man can defeat thousands of soldiers and capture a city?

Su Ying held Xiao Qi's hand, her brows tightly furrowed. She understood Gu Jiu's feelings, but wasn't it a bit too forced to do so?

The Nanzhao army in Duanshui Fort dared to be so arrogant. First of all, their numbers must have surpassed their current combat power. In other words, there must be at least two thousand of them?

The second is that the soldiers of this Nanzhao army all wear bone jewelry. It is obvious that they are the most elite Barbarian Bone Army of Nanzhao Kingdom. Even in normal times, the Thunder Army will not easily confront them.

The Angry Thunder Army is the most elite fighting force in the entire north, but although Nanzhao is small, it is also a country, and the Barbarian Bone Army is the most terrifying existence in the entire Nanzhao Kingdom.

Not only do the members of the Barbarian Bone Army know strange witchcraft, most of the soldiers have been drinking witchcraft to refine their bodies since childhood. They can even break through the limitations of the human body and "transform". Their strength is terrifying, which can be seen from their plump figures.

Therefore, there has been a rumor for a long time that if there is still an army in the world that can fight against the Tang Dynasty's Black Armor, it is only the Nanzhao Barbarian Bone Army.

Now, this Northern coalition army has just experienced a fierce battle, suffered heavy losses and numerous wounded. Even if it wants to fight against this army, it is powerless.

Liu Fengyao was even pessimistic and believed that without support, they would most likely be wiped out.

This Barbarian Bone Army has the advantage of time and place, and is extremely powerful. It is not easy to turn the situation around from them.

But at this moment, Gu Jiu passed away.

Is this going to die?

Gu Jiu was getting closer and closer to Duanshui Fort. He could clearly see the bodies of the Tang soldiers and Duanshui Sect disciples hanging outside the fort.

Some of them are still very young and not qualified to participate in the war on the front line, or the sects and the court want to protect them and let them stay here to take charge of logistics.

Unexpectedly, he still died.

It's like a little flower that I took good care of was torn to pieces by a few naughty kids. It's very painful.

It feels bad to be stabbed in the back, especially by a subordinate country.

Gu Jiu didn't know much about the relationship between Nanzhao and Tang, he just really disliked this kind of thing.

It feels like you are working hard outside and sending money to support your family, but a friend of yours occupies your house, spends your money, and even sleeps with your wife.

According to Gu Jiu's plan, he should have been taking a comfortable bath in the largest bathhouse in the castle at this time, but it was all ruined by these things that suddenly appeared.

He had already seen that the body of the little boy who had handed him the towel had been hung on the city wall.

It didn't take long before Gu Jiu arrived at the big river in front of Duanshui Fort.

The leader of Duanshui Sect, Hongxue, is still in a coma. She fought the hardest in the previous battle, so even though her realm is very high, her internal organs are severely damaged. It will probably be difficult for her to recover in this lifetime.

But when the battle was over, she kept smiling because she knew they had won and the Waterbreak Fort was saved.

If she was not unconscious at this moment and was looking at such a scene, how would she feel?

In life, there are always too many hateful people doing cruel things.

Gu Jiu stood in front of the bridge in front of Duanshui Fort.

It is the dry season now, there is very little water in the river, and there are a lot of yellow sedge growing in it.

The wind blew through these sedges that were more than one meter tall, making them sway like ghostly shadows.

The wide wooden bridge leading to the Water Breaking Fort is still open, unguarded, and covered with many footprints.

Some of the footprints were large, probably left by the elephants.

The fact that such a bridge was unguarded proved that the people inside were very confident, or it could be said that they were provoking their Northern Allied Forces.

If you have the guts, come and take back your former "home"?

It’s a pity that you don’t dare!
