The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 123

The sun in the desert came out earlier, and when Jingshu opened her eyes, the dazzling sunlight had already shot in through the gap in the tent.

Li Ling came in with a bowl of hot oil tea, looked at his little wife and said with a smile, "I woke up."

Jing Shu got up and put on her clothes, and asked: "I heard that the post officer said it was so scary before I came out, but I didn't expect this night to be so peaceful."

Li Ling didn't say a word, just held the oil tea in his hand to his wife, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jing Shu glanced at his half-smiling expression, took a sip of oil tea, and asked, "What's the matter? Looking at you like this, could it be that the sand ghost really came yesterday?"

"Repulsed by you?"

Li Ling asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"

Jing Shu sipped the camellia leisurely, glanced at her husband and said, "I guessed it from your eyes."

She smiled and asked Li Ling: "I guessed it right, right?"

Li Ling replied with a smile: "No one knows your husband better than your wife. If I want to hide anything from you in the future, I'm afraid I can't."

He looked at his wife and said, "Last night they did come to sneak attack, I shot one of them, and the rest probably got scared and never came again."

Jingshu asked: "Did you catch the one you shot? What kind of one is it?"

Li Ling replied: "It's similar to what the post officer described, but it's not a monster, but a human being."

He glanced at his little wife: "As you said, it does look like a descendant of the Da Yuezhi."

When Jing Shu heard this, she immediately regained her spirits. She put down the tea bowl in her hand, looked at Li Ling bluntly and said, "Look, I told you right. I heard the way the postman said about this thing that day. Then I guessed that it was from the Da Yue clan, I read about these alien races in books, fortunately I remembered some of them."

Seeing his little wife's proud appearance, Li Ling echoed, "Isn't it? If Madam hadn't been knowledgeable and told my husband that this thing is a human and not a ghost, how could my husband dare to step into the desert so easily? The thing that struck yesterday, Naturally, it cannot be dealt with so easily.”

Li Ling got up, and exaggeratedly bowed deeply to his wife: "This is my husband, thank you madam."

Jingshu glanced at Li Ling's appearance, he suppressed a smile, and pretended to be indifferent: "Be flat, don't thank me for trivial matters. But since you now know how powerful I am as a woman, you should be more humble in front of me from now on. Just listen to my opinion on everything.”

Li Ling bowed deeply again, pretending to be respectful: "As a husband, from now on, I will always look after my wife."

The two were laughing in the tent, and a slender figure gradually appeared outside the tent, and then Ziyun's voice came: "Master, General Zhou, General Liang and General Hu are looking for you."

Jingshu opened the tent door, Ziyun slowly entered, saw her young lady's face was rosy, and her worried heart finally settled down.

From the moment Ziyun came in, Li Ling's face returned to its serious and majestic appearance as if by magic.

He got up and said to Jing Shu: "We will wipe out those group of things today, lest they do evil and harm people here."

Jing Shu also stood up and said, "I'll go with you too."

Before Li Ling could react, Ziyun grabbed Jingshu's clothes and said, "Miss, what are you going to do?"

Jingshu comforted Ziyun and said: "It's okay, my husband and the others caught one last night. Those things are not ghosts at all, but descendants of Da Yuezhi."

As she said that, she walked up to Li Ling, and continued: "It is said in the book that the Dayue clan often used caves or big trees as caves, and they are extremely powerful. Take me there, I may be able to help your husband."

Li Ling patiently listened to his little wife's chatter, looked at her dotingly and said: "Although these barbarians are powerful, they are only a few people after all. Your husband can handle it with elite guards. If you encounter a strong enemy in the future, you will have to deal with it." , and take Madam as a military advisor."

Jingshu raised her brows slightly, pouting and pleading: "You just take me there, I want to see if they live in the tree, and if it's like it's written in the book."

Li Ling replied: "If you want to know, just let me tell you when I come back."

As he spoke, he gave Ziyun instructions: "Take care of Madam." Then he left the tent.

When several lieutenants saw Li Ling, they rushed up to meet him.

Don't look at Hu Dahai who was punished by Li Ling the day before yesterday to make muddy mud for a day, and last night he was paid for another night. Hearing that he was going to destroy the barbarians today, he was still full of energy and eager to fight with excitement.

Li Ling glanced at him, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "What's the rush, I'll just let you show it when I have a chance."

Hu Dahai was originally worried that the general would hold him and let him guard the camp, but when he heard that he would be taken with him, he was so excited that his beard and eyebrows stood up, and he yelled in a gong-like voice: : "It's still the general who understands me. I haven't been able to relax for a while, and I don't have any energy in my body."

He shook the cold light iron ax in his hand, which weighed more than a hundred catties: "My old Hu will definitely turn those barbarians into real ghosts."

Zhou Jin brought the barbarian who was shot down by Li Ling last night and tied it with an iron chain: "Cousin, let's set off now while the weather is good."

Li Ling turned to look at the barbarian who was tied by the iron chain, and asked, "Will he be obedient and lead the way?"

Zhou Jin replied: "This thing is also heartless. I used two pieces of raw meat last night to make him obedient."

Hu Dahai squatted in front of the barbarian, poking him with his hands: "This thing can understand human speech?"

Zhou Jin said: "He can understand the simple things."

As he said that, Zhou Jin took a piece of raw meat from the hand beside him, threw it on the ground, and said, "Eat."

The barbarian really picked it up obediently and devoured it.

Zhou Jin said again: "Let's go!"

The barbarian walked back and forth around the iron chain again.

Hu Dahai chuckled: "As expected of 'Little Zhuge', you still have a way."

Li Ling ordered: "Since everything is ready, leave Liang Jin to guard the camp, and we will set off with a hundred soldiers."

Liang Jin embraced the order.

Zhou Jin let the barbarian lead the way with a long iron chain, Li Ling pressed in front of the team, Hu Dahai, who was eager to try, rode a horse to protect Li Ling, and they led a hundred cavalry towards the barbarian's old lair.

After walking for about an hour, a few tall shrubs appeared in the vast desert, and Li Ling ordered all the soldiers to stand there.

He took the binoculars and looked in the direction of the bush, and he saw several barbarians guarding under the tree with sticks and weapons. Barbarians.

Li Ling said to the soldiers: "Sure enough, we found their lair."

Hu Dahai was gearing up, and was the first to yell, "General, let me lure those barbarians out first."

Li Ling nodded: "Let's go."

Hu Dahai clamped his legs, and the good horse under his crotch was flying with four hooves, roaring and galloping towards the barbarian lair.
