C142

It was clear as day and cloudless as day. The morning breeze was filled with a pungent smell of blood. The grass on the ground was dyed red, and the blood pooled in a small river, flowing nonstop.

A wisp of rosy red morning glow slowly rose into the air, carrying a golden crow as it leapt off the peak.

Faint clouds and mist surrounded the mountain, but they could not cover up the broken limbs on the ground. There were also faint sounds of wailing.

The mournful cries of despair, mixed with the sorrowful cries of the horses, grew weaker and weaker.

In the morning light, he was clad in a bronze armor, which shone with a chilling snow-white light on the peak of the distant mountain, exuding a murderous aura.

The bright bronze armor firmly outlined Helian Manqiu's slender figure. The armor on her head concealed her pretty face from her forehead all the way down to her nose, revealing only her pink, slightly cold, curvy lips. The morning breeze was as alluring as peach blossoms.

The Autumn Water Heaven Sword in his hand dripped the last drop of blood, and the body of the sword was like limpid autumn water. It was clear and bright as if it had never been stained with blood before, yet it radiated chilliness and killing intent, causing one's heart to palpitate.

No matter how good this sword was, it was not as useful as the spear of her era!

All the generals and soldiers looked at the young general sitting on a red steed far away from them. He was the one who was invincible, invincible, and had godly strength.

The blood-colored green grass extended all the way from the hooves of Helian Manqiu to the distance. A faint mist floated around her, and under the azure sky, a red glow and morning light enveloped her body. Her bronze armor flashed with a faint luster. Her slender figure was lifted by the wind, and a strand of hair slipped out of her helmet, fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, they all breathed softly, afraid that they would disturb him.

This scene was like a painting, deeply engraved in the hearts of every soldier who accompanied Helian Manqiu to battle.

They were the unparalleled young generals; the astounding young generals; the young generals who had learned more; and the invincible young generals!

That person was their young and tender fourteen-year-old young general.

His slender figure made them want to kneel down and worship him at his feet. They swore their allegiance to him and fought for him in the battlefield. His extremely delicate face made them willing to use their lives to protect him, giving them incomparable confidence.

Perhaps, ever since that night when he led them to defend the capital, they had indescribable confidence in this young general!

With the recent victories in the military region, the military and civilians of the military region possessed incomparable confidence and admiration for Helian Manqiu.

Helian Manqiu spent all the money she earned from her business on the families and citizens of the soldiers and soldiers of the military state. This earned her the hearts and hearts of the people that others could not possess.

She did not care about the money she had. In the end, she was still a bystander.

There were only five thousand of them, but they were able to easily wipe out all the light cavalry soldiers, leaving behind a countless number of war horses and corpses.

The soldiers began to clear up the battlefield and collect their spoils of war. They gathered in one place and prepared to transport them to the military region. Their absolute victory in this battle had given them even more confidence in Helian Manqiu.

Her bravery and agility, as well as the killing of the enemy's generals, made it clear to all the soldiers that their young general was not a weak scholar, but a valiant general.

These were merely the vanguard troops of the King of Freshmen. What she had ordered Chen Yu Yang and the others to do was to delay the other troops sent by the King of Freshmen, and then circle around the military state far away from it. They would consume the enemy's forces and gradually eliminate them.

She used the others to attract the attention of the King of Freshmen. Step by step, she pushed forward, extending the battlefield further and further into the territory of Freshmen.

Attacking was the best defense!

This had always been Helian Manqiu's style of doing things. If they opened the battlefield in the territory of the low and fresh, the Military Region would not suffer any losses.

"Young General, can we rest here now?"

Tao Zheng urged his horse to the hillside and silently watched Helian Manqiu's profile. Yes, he already knew who she was, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He could only look at her in silence.

He thought about it for a while. He could take on more responsibilities for her and do more things for her. After thinking for a while, she could lead the elite soldiers all the way to Wang Ting, the king's mansion, so that she no longer had to travel and work so hard, and she even had to personally lead the troops.

"Rest here for two hours and eat. We will depart two hours later!"

"As you command."

A large group of people wrapped their horses' hooves with cotton cloths. When they moved, the sound would not spread very far as they quietly set out on their journey. Their bodies were still reeking of blood, and their murderous auras scared the birds in the distance away.

Their bodies were covered in sweat, and the mounts they were sitting on were also drenched in sweat. However, none of them complained about their fatigue, and none of them slowed down their pace.

This was because their Young General was at the very front of the group and was riding on a horse as well.

A faint pain came from her thigh. Helian Manqiu knew that her thigh had been torn from riding on horseback for too long. It had been too long since he had done any strenuous exercise, and he had never ridden a horse for so long.

She tightly pursed her lips. Her beautiful face was cold and without ripples. She could not stop to rest, so if she did, it would mean that everyone would stop.

The carriage had long been transported back to the military fort with the spoils of war. She silently urged the horse to gallop as sweat dripped down her forehead.

"Young General, please stop and rest for a moment. The horses are tired too."

Tao noticed Helian Manqiu's tightly pursed lips and the sweat on her face. Even he felt tired, not to mention her!

After all, this was the first time she participated in such a large expedition.

"Alright, pass down the order. Rest here for two hours and feed the horses."

"Yes."

When the order was passed down, Helian Manqiu slightly turned her eyes to look at him. What was the meaning of this? She hurriedly dismounted from her horse and walked in front of Helian Manqiu. She extended her hand to carry Helian Manqiu off the horse.

His gaze swept across Helian Manqiu's legs. Suddenly, he saw traces of blood seeping out.

"Men, set up the tent for the young general to rest."

Someone hurriedly set up the tent. What was the point of carrying Helian Manqiu and entering the tent: "Tao Zheng, stand guard outside the tent. No one is to enter under the orders of the young general!"

"As you command."

Tao Zheng's gaze passed over her in envy. If he could give her a hug, how good would it be to take care of her!

"Young General, your leg is worn out, right?"

Helian Manqiu nodded. Her entire body was aching uncontrollably; it was as if her three hundred and sixty bones had been scattered. This was the first time she had experienced such a feeling in the ancient era of cold weapons, when riding on horseback was the only way to wage war.

"We should have left that carriage behind."

He then took out the medicine and placed it on the bed, using his own hands to clear the water, "Young General, please wash the medicine first, this general will be out soon."

"Alright."

Helian Manqiu supported herself by lying down on the makeshift army bed and taking off her armor. It was not that she did not try to prevent it, but it was just that she did not expect that riding a horse was such a painful thing.

She swore that when she could ride in a carriage in the future, she would never ride a horse!

He took off his pants and blood kept oozing out. Clean the wound and wound with clear water, disinfect with white wine and wrap it with medicine.

The leggings that he used to wrap himself up with cotton were already in tatters. It had been a ride for too long.

Helpless, Zhang Xuan added more cotton inside and wrapped it around the insides of his legs. It was impossible for him to stop, so he could only continue to suffer.

"Uncle Yi, the young general is too tired. Should we rest a bit longer?"

Tao Zheng kept his eyes on the tent and asked softly what was the meaning of this.

His gaze also landed on the tent as he slightly frowned. How was she going to continue riding after a while?

Her legs must have been badly mutilated, right?

That kind of her made his heart ache, but he also felt that, as long as she wore bronze armor and rode on a red horse with the Heavenly Autumn Sword in her hand, she was worthy of being the daughter of General Helian Shan. She was the only path she should take!

"Let's go!"

He carried Helian Manqiu and walked out. He lowered his head and looked at her, "Young General, why don't you and this lowly general have a horse?"

"Do you want me to become the laughingstock of the entire army?"

Helian Manqiu said with a bitter smile as she slightly shook her head. What did she mean by putting Helian Manqiu on the back of a horse? She looked at Helian Manqiu with a pained expression.

"Pass down the order, let's go!"

"As you command!"

The five thousand soldiers set off once again. Tao Zheng led his men to scout ahead, and the scouts he sent all the way to a place hundreds of miles away to gather information.

The night was deep, and within the valleys in the wilderness, only the bonfires faintly flickered, reddening Helian Manqiu's handsome and slightly thin face.

This was the place where the poor and fresh rested. It was occupied by them, and they could rest here for the night, allowing the soldiers and war horses to recover their strength.

"Young General, you should go rest. This lowly general will take good care of you."

Tao Zheng whispered into Helian Manqiu's ear. He stared foolishly at the side of Helian Manqiu's face, unwilling to look away for a long time.

"Is there any news of them? Scouts, send them further away, and follow the route I gave you to gather information. "

"Please rest assured young general, I have already sent out my men. If there is any news, we will definitely report it to the young general as soon as possible."

Helian Manqiu unfurled the map under the light of the fire. She lowered her head to look at it for a long time. What did she mean by standing behind Helian Manqiu? She also lowered her head to look at the map.

"Young General, this is the third time. The King won't fail to receive the news. Are you sure you want to continue going deeper?"

"Yes, continue!"

Helian Manqiu stood up and walked into the tent. The area near the tent was filled with her personal guards, so she didn't need to worry about anything.

In the night wind, the smell of blood was thick, bringing with it the smell of weapons and armor, the smell of sweat, and the aroma of food.
