C167

Not much more than the mirror without a word, mounted the horse silently meditating.

If there was Gan Yuxuan secretly supporting him from behind, and if Helian Manqiu provided him with some weapons and other assistance, he could establish his own power and territory as soon as possible.

"Tao Zheng, send someone to keep an eye on that. Do not let him escape."

"Yes, this lowly general obeys."

Tao Zheng looked at Helian Manqiu and wanted to ask, "Young General, aren't you coming back?"

However, his lips moved a few times before he reluctantly took it back from the mirror. In the end, he did not say anything.

"Let's go!"

Yu Di led some of the troops and led the military and state troops, sneaking all the way to Mo Gan City.

"Howl …" "Howl …"

The endless howls of the wolves came from a place not far away. The faint smell of blood and the corpses all over the ground attracted countless hungry wild dogs who were wandering around in search of food.

In the sky, eagles and vultures were flying, searching for food that belonged to them.

In Mo Gan City, a group of people was lazily leaning against the city wall. Their eyes were squinted as if they were asleep, but it also seemed like they were dead and hadn't made a single move.

Hundreds of people, just like that, lay in every corner of the city walls, emanating a bloody aura. Only the weapons, sabers, and bows and arrows proved that they were still alive and breathing.

"The seventh day!"

With a hoarse voice, Di Qingfeng raised his hand and drank a mouthful of water. He looked up at the sky and said, "Even eagles and vultures are not willing to come here. These cunning things!"

"Hehe, they are no fools. We've killed them many times, how could they still be willing to come?"

"It's a pity that those wolves and wild dogs won't be able to get here, as they've been blocked by those bastards."

"Mm, there's still food to eat. You can be satisfied with it."

After saying that, the blood sword picked up a piece of grilled meat from the stone floor beside it and stuffed it into its mouth. Then, it began to chew with relish, as if this piece of grilled meat was the most delicious beef jerky.

Seeing the blood sword chewing that piece of meat, Di Qingfeng suddenly wanted to vomit. However, he just closed his eyes and said nothing, neither did he vomit.

There wasn't much food in their stomachs. The last time they were here, they found out that someone was using the name of the Wolf King to secretly bring them some food in advance, and nobody ever brought them anything after that.

Only occasionally, eagles would swoop down and pass the message to them. Those messages were sent by the legendary wolf king, and he told them to bring the message back with him.

"Look, the messenger eagle is here. What a fat messenger eagle."

The blood sword suddenly said. It swallowed a mouthful of saliva and its throat twitched a few times. It looked at the only condor that dared to fly into this land of death, the very fat one.

Di Qingfeng shook his head helplessly. How could a messenger eagle be fat?

These messenger hawks, in order to maintain their agility and speed, were not fattened up. Instead, their bodies were lean and powerful. Their speed was extremely fast and agile.

However, even if it was just a skinny messenger eagle, in their eyes, it was still an oily delicacy.

Just yesterday, they killed the last sickly old horse. Currently, there were still five hundred people in Mo Gan City, and two hundred undamaged horses.

If there was no more food, they might have to kill these horses for food in order to survive.

Fortunately, there was still water in Mo Gan City, so he wouldn't die from thirst.

Without the horses, there was no way for them to charge out of the Northern Kingdom alive. Di Qingfeng had already thought about it long ago, at the last critical moment, he would leave 300 people to defend himself. The other 200 people and 200 horses would charge out of Mo Gan City, one by one.

There were only two hundred horses, but there were five hundred of them!

It was an irreparable gap. Perhaps they could take a few horses from the enemy, but he did not dare hope too much.

"The young general wants to come to Mo Qiancheng. The young general is leading the troops into the fresh air. It's a hundred battles with countless victories. They're heading in the direction of Mo Qiancheng."

Di Qingfeng used a weak voice to read the message sent by the messenger eagle. The people beside him had their eyes closed, as if they were asleep. No one had any reaction.

"Young General!"

Suddenly, someone shouted. Di Qingfeng immediately sat up with his hands trembling with excitement, "It's the young general! The young general is coming to Mo Gan City!"

"What? Helian Qing Yu wants to come to Mo Gan City?"

The Bloody Sword snatched the letter and sat up to read it carefully. Suddenly, he laughed out loud, "I knew that this brat had guts. He actually personally led a group of people out of the military state, killing his way into the lower realm. "En, look at my brother, this letter says that Helian Qingyu will arrive in Mo Gan City within two days!"

"The young general is here! The young general is going to Mo Gan City!"

"Yes, I think that the young general will be able to reach Mo Gan City in one day!"

Someone shouted out loud, and immediately, cheers sounded out from the city walls that were deathly still. Everyone called out, "Young General!" "Young General!"

"The young general is indeed coming. Everyone, quiet down for a moment. Don't waste any of your energy. The news has reached us, and the young general is about to arrive!"

Di Qingfeng stood up and shouted. Immediately, the city became more lively. Everyone's eyes lit up. They laid on the city wall and looked in the direction of the military region with expectation.

"Lord, when will the young general arrive at Mo Gan City?"

"When the young general learns of our situation, he will definitely rescue us as soon as possible. I will immediately reply to the young general. The young general will soon receive my letter."

"Great! This lowly one knows that the young general will never abandon us!"

The soldier said excitedly as a shocking light burst out of his eyes.

"Everyone, take good care of your physical strength so that you can persevere until the young general arrives."

After saying that, Di Qingfeng got up, walked to a corner and sat down. He then picked up a piece of sheepskin paper and sent it back to the Wolf King.

"Brother, is the Wolf King connected to the young general? Otherwise, how would he know that Helian Qing Yu is coming to Mo Gan City?"

"Maybe it's because the Wolf King didn't say too much."

With a smile on his lips, Di Qingfeng sat down and turned his head. There was no trace of that smile on his face anymore. He lowered his head and wrote on the sheepskin with the pen beside him.

"We've already broken through the encirclement and left Mo Gan City. Right now, we're heading towards the Red Grassland, but we don't know where we are. "We broke through the encirclement yesterday, and took advantage of the night to dig a tunnel and leave …"

The blood sword's facial expression changed drastically. He grabbed Di Qingfeng's wrist and scanned the surroundings. He approached Di Qingfeng's ear and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Di Qingfeng put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture. His sharp eyes swept around and whispered into the Blood Sword's ear, "Do you really think we should let the young general bring people to Mo Gan City? You should know that in the surroundings of Mo Gan City, there are many people besieged by the King of Freshmen. I already felt that something was wrong. Even if we were just a few hundred people, we wouldn't be able to feed them to the horses even if we were dried in the sun. Why would the King of Freshmen wait here to ambush the army yet refuse to eliminate us? "

"What you mean is that King Qinguang set up a trap to lure Helian Qingyu?"

"Big Brother Xue, what do you think it is? But I don't think it's necessarily true. The King has a daughter who's like a flower and is willing to marry you or betroth us to me. She can't bear to kill us, right? "

Di Qingfeng smiled bitterly and raised his head to look into the distance. None of the pawns suspected that Di Qingfeng was playing tricks on them, so they all lay back down to rest, waiting for the next attack. Their only hope was that they could take a longer rest and get something to eat.

"You're writing this to lure the young general away from Mo Gan City?"

"Yes, big brother Xue. Do you want to oppose?"

Di Qingfeng slightly lowered his head and continued writing a few sentences on the sheepskin with the pen in his hand. He even wrote down the date and time of the meeting with Helian Manqiu. He was worried that Helian Manqiu would not believe his letter and would come to the city to trap the King of Freshmen.

"No, it should be like this. How about we break through tonight? You lead the group and rush out, I will lead people to attract their attention."

The blood sword said indifferently. It took out its sword and used a piece of grey, white cloth to carefully wipe its beloved sword. Its eyes were filled with killing intent.

"You don't blame me for that?"

"It should have been like this. We shouldn't have let Helian Qing Yu come here to die and let the king of the freshmen get away with it. Do you think that my blood sword is someone who is afraid of death?"

"Big Brother Xue is a very famous man with bones of steel. How could he be afraid of death? It is great to be able to fight together with Big Brother Xue in this life." If there is a chance, I really hope that we can continue to be together with big brother Xue. We can sweep through the entire Northern Kingdom and make those fresh and inferior barbarians not dare to look at us face to face. "

"Haha …"

The blood sword suddenly laughed heartily, and when it entered the ears of the soldiers nearby, it was clear that the young general was about to arrive, causing the two lords to be overjoyed.

"Well said, little brother. There will definitely be a chance."

"Big brother Xue, I beg of you, please agree to my request."

Di Qingfeng suddenly knelt down in front of the blood sword. The blood sword quickly pushed Di Qingfeng down, "Speak, why are you acting so pretentious? I have never been so respectful to your young general."

"Brother Xue, I know how powerful brother's martial arts are. Even if he had thousands of men and horses, he still wouldn't be able to stop brother from charging out. I beg you, big brother, to charge out and return to the young general alive and report back to the lord and the young general about us. Tell the young general that Di Qingfeng and these brothers of the military state did not lose any face for the young general and have no regrets in his death! "

"You can't! I am not someone who can escape alone. Di Qingfeng, are you looking down on my blood sword?"

Di Qingfeng shook his head and looked at the blood sword with a heavy gaze. He held the blood sword and said, "Big brother, ever since we sent out the troops, little brother has always treated you as big brother. Little brother should also know what my young general is going to do to big brother. If our big brother did not rush out, who would know what we brothers have done in the Freshness and Humility Northern Kingdom? "

Turning around slightly, he pointed at the soldiers behind him, "With regards to their achievements and news in the Northern Kingdom, who will bring them back to the military region, tell the lord and the young general, tell their families, I will have to entrust this matter to my eldest brother, and bear it all on my own!"

"I'll stay, you charge out to report."
