Sheng Fu

Chapter 704: Reluctant Rear Guard

Zhang Benchu ​​and Yan Zhao looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's go back and reorganize the troops."

The two of them just suspected that they didn't understand the situation, but they would never doubt Yu Wenjun's ability.

Yu Wenjun stood up and walked slowly to the outside of the dojo. He looked up at the starry sky. The stars were vaguely visible tonight, but not very bright.

With a slight whistle, the black unicorn came out of the dark night. Yu Wenjun said softly, "Later, we will go to the southern plains of the Demon Realm. I will leave the task of observing the mountains and rivers to you and Ming Dun."

Just as Black Kirin was about to respond, Yu Wenjun made a shushing gesture and said, "Quiet."

The black unicorn nodded slyly.

Inside Hengchang Camp.

After Zhang Benchu ​​and Yan Zhao returned, Zhang Benchu ​​immediately put on armor and stood at the door of the central army tent, holding the sacred weapon of breaking the wilderness in his hand, while Yan Zhao went down to pass on the message.

The entire camp was silent, without any noise at all.

Fortunately, the troops brought this time were all elite, and there were only 5,000 of them. If the number was too large, it would be difficult to gather the soldiers silently.

Gradually, soldiers came to the door of the central tent one after another and lined up in neat formation.

Darkness also teleported silently from a distance.

In less than an incense stick of time, five thousand soldiers, all dressed in armor, riding Feihuang and Yinlang, lined up in neat formation.

Zhang Benchu ​​controlled the chaos without saying a word.

Yan Zhao occasionally made hushing gestures, signaling the camp to remain quiet.

For a moment, the noise from the neighboring camp reached the ears of the Hengchang soldiers.

During the day, the fierce battle between Yuwen Jun and Wu Xing and twelve others had sparked discussions that would not stop in a short time. Undoubtedly, some old generals in the Guiyuan realm were also thinking about how to set a trap for Yuwen Jun.

If twelve aren't enough, then twenty.

Or he could make a good battle plan and definitely teach Yuwen Jun a lesson.

It has to be said that the battle in broad daylight somewhat hurt the reputation of Wu Xing and others.

Suddenly, the void surged slightly, and Yuwen Jun came riding the black unicorn.

When the soldiers saw Yuwen Jun, they were all delighted, but they all tacitly did not bow or pay homage. Instead, they all rode on their mounts and bowed their heads in greeting.

Yu Wenjun was very satisfied with this.

It was not because it satisfied his vanity, but because Zhang Benchu ​​and Yan Zhao could gather a large army in a short period of time and form such a silent tacit understanding.

Yu Wenjun immediately put his hands together, and in the camp, chaotic energy surged, covering every soldier.

In a flash, the world turned upside down, and five thousand soldiers disappeared out of thin air.

Demon Realm, southern plains.

Yuwen Jun led his people across the void and came to an open grassland.

After arriving here, Yan Zhao heaved a long sigh and exclaimed, "It feels so good. I can finally be myself."

Yu Wenjun smiled jokingly and said, "You can be yourself at any time, but sometimes being yourself makes you feel comfortable, sometimes being yourself makes others uncomfortable, and sometimes it makes you uncomfortable."

Yan Zhao laughed and said, "Brother, what you said makes sense. It's just that I don't have enough understanding."

Yu Wenjun said: "There is no need to flatter and ruin yourself."

The soldiers behind him observed their surroundings cautiously. Although the grassland was open and the grass had not yet grown thick, it could not be ruled out that some small but extremely poisonous monsters might be lurking at the end of their sight.

Yuwen Jun glanced at Zhang Benchu, who understood what he meant.

Yuwen Jun and Zhang Benchu ​​dismounted from their horses at the same time. Black Kirin and Ming Dun flew on the wind and began to explore elsewhere.

Yan Zhao looked at the silver wolf king under his crotch, thought about it, and gave up.

"Soldiers, do not disperse. Ride your horses forward for 500 miles to find a suitable place to set up camp." Yuwen Jun shouted.

The soldiers were in high spirits, and they rode their mounts and galloped forward. On the grassland, strong winds blew up, and the soldiers had a great time on the originally peaceful night. This time, it was Yu Wenjun who led them to fight in person, and he was very ambitious.

It’s not that Zhang Benchu ​​is a bad person, but because Yuwen Jun’s battle in broad daylight really brought honor to the soldiers of Hengchang.

With such emotions and state of mind, how could the soldiers not feel their morale boosted?

Furthermore, in this individual combat, the Hengchang soldiers belong to the Hengchang soldiers, and the human military belongs to the human military. Their positions are equal, at least that's what the soldiers think.

……

Late at night, Saibei City, City Lord’s Mansion.

Yue Bo looked at the information brought back by the spy and fell into a brief confusion.

"Send Li Guangxin here." Yue Bo said in a deep voice.

After the order was given, the leader of the personal guards in the mansion quickly went outside the city lord's mansion.

Yue Bo closed his eyes slightly and sensed the entire Saibei City. Indeed, the camp of Hengchang soldiers was empty.

In a flash, Yue Bo arrived at the Taoist temple where Yu Wenjun was practicing.

The teapot was still on the table, and the tea in the cup had already cooled down before it was finished.

"Good boy, you left without saying hello!" Yue Bo said with a slightly stiff face.

Yu Wenjun did not take Yue Bo to heart at all, but this was not the reason why Yue Bo felt unhappy. The real reason was that it was right under his nose, but he did not notice it from beginning to end.

While he was thinking, Li Guangxin came.

This person was none other than the Lingxiao expert who had used his power during the day to force Yu Wenjun to be unable to cross the void.

He was forty years old, with a solid build, a slightly eerie look, and a pair of eagle eyes that made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Someone disappeared right under your nose. You are guilty of negligence!" Yue Bo said.

Li Guangxin felt ashamed and lowered his head and said, "I will be able to bring them back before dawn."

Yue Bo shook his head and said, "No need. You lead 10,000 elite troops out of the city immediately and follow closely. They will explore the situation in the southern plains. Yu Wenjun will be the vanguard and you will be the rear guard."

"If you encounter an enemy situation, you will make your own decision."

"Remember, don't let Yuwen-Jun die on the battlefield."

Although Yue Bo knew that Yuwen Jun would not die easily and that Yinglong could be summoned by Yuwen Jun at a moment's notice, he still had to be cautious. The situation was complicated now and Yuwen Jun's help was needed in many things.

As for whether Yuwen Jun can achieve success on the battlefield, it is of no importance.

The work-for-relief program in the north requires Yuwen Jun to secretly take action, and the trade with the spirits requires Yuwen Jun to serve as a stabilizer.

Many things really cannot be separated from this Dragon Prince.

Hearing this, Li Guangxin said with a little frustration: "Escort him?"

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Although he is the leader of the Eight Guards, the battlefield is definitely not a place for him to gain fame and show off his skills."

Yue Bo stared at Li Guangxin, who seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face that spread in the night.

Yue Bo said: "His position is indeed somewhat special. Even if you are dissatisfied, you have to keep it to yourself."

"Secondly, we should not underestimate Yuwen Jun's ability on the battlefield. He is not a lone hero. It's just that he did not participate much in previous battles and did not show his military talent."

"You may not trust the young leader of the Eight Guards, but you must trust the young master of the Dragon Clan who has been stirring up trouble."

After hearing this, Li Guangxin was still not convinced, but could only nod in agreement.

Yue Bo added, "When necessary, you must obey Yu Wenjun's orders."

"This is an order."
