Chapter 74
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Kang knew that the owner of this voice was Lian Ying, the capital of Shenji Camp.

"However, why did she come to find me? Could it be that she is also jealous of the treasures of the prince of Qin, or that she also wants to kill the prince of Qin to make a great contribution?"

He didn't know why for a while, and couldn't clearly know Lian Ying's intention of coming to him.

Li Kang hurriedly put away the blue star shell shining brightly in blue, and put it in his arms.Then, he got up with great difficulty and walked tremblingly in the direction of the official road.

The little white fox jumped onto his shoulder, opened its round black eyes, and looked curiously at Lian Ying who was riding a blood-stained white horse on the official road.

"Lord Lian, I'm here!"

Li Kang waved at Lian Ying.

Lian Ying, who was covered in blood on the official road in the distance, reined in the reins, and stopped her progress. Her beautiful eyes, which were originally full of anxiety and worry, followed the voice and looked over.

When she saw Li Kang covered in blood in the snow not far away, the anxiety and worry in her beautiful eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of joy.

"drive!"

She shouted softly, and the white horse under her body stepped forward and galloped towards Li Kang's direction.

Soon, Lian Ying came to Li Kang.

Looking at Li Kang who was covered in blood, he uttered a pleasant voice like a silver bell, and said, "Li Kang, I knew you couldn't die, are you okay?"

There was concern in her words, and the look reflected in her beautiful eyes was also full of concern.

Li Kang could feel that Lian Ying was caring about her, not like a fake.

He smiled at him, and said, "I'm fine, thank you Lord Lian for your concern!"

It's just that the smile on this bloody face is somewhat ferocious.

"It's fine, get on the horse!"

Lian Ying looked at Li Kang whose legs were trembling, and then generously stretched out her hand, ready to pull Li Kang onto the horse.

"Thank you, Lord Lian... I'd better go back by myself!"

Li Kang looked at Lian Ying on the horse, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and declined her politely. He felt that it was not a good thing for a lonely man and a widow to ride the same horse.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that Li Kang and Li Shizhu, who are so powerful on the battlefield, would not even dare to mount my horse! Come on, we are comrades in arms fighting side by side, you are all out of strength, it's no big deal!"

There was a nice smile on Lian Ying's goose egg face, and she looked at Li Kang without blinking her beautiful eyes.

The little white fox on Li Kang's shoulder screamed "babbling", as if saying, "Master, get on the horse!"

"Come on, even your friends are in a hurry! Hehe!" Lian Ying looked at the cute little white fox and said with a smile.

She remembered that a few days ago, Li Kang said that the little white fox was his friend.

Hearing this, Li Kang felt that if he didn't get on the horse again, he would look too petty, without any manly demeanor, instead he would be less open-minded than a woman.

More importantly, it is really difficult to make myself walk several miles back to Heiyou Gorge to reunite with my brothers, given my current physical condition.

He stretched out his bloody hand, grabbed a handful of snow in the snow and wiped it, and then reached out to hold the little hand that Lian Ying handed to him.

As soon as Lian Ying exerted her strength, she pulled Li Kang and the little white fox on his shoulders behind the horse.

"Sit tight!"

After Lian Ying finished speaking, she turned her horse around and shouted coquettishly, "Drive!"

The white god steed under him spread its hooves and galloped towards the direction of Heiyou Gorge.

Due to the speed of the horse, Li Kang almost fell off the horse's back. He leaned back and quickly reached out to grab Lian Ying's soft waist.

Immediately, Lian Ying's pretty face seemed to turn red, but the face was covered with scarlet blood, so outsiders could not see it.

After Li Kang sat firmly, he quickly let go of his hand.

"Master Lian, you... how do you know I'm here?" Li Kang asked in order to hide his embarrassment.

Lian Ying heard this, smiled and said: "When I was in Heiyou Gorge, I saw you coming in this direction on a war horse!"

"By the way, who are you going after?"

"I……"

"Why don't you have the smell of blood?"

"Perhaps the blood has dried up, and the smell of blood has also dissipated!"

……

The two chatted without saying a word, and soon, the white horse under them carried them to the entrance of Heiyou Gorge.

At this time, the battle in Heiyou Gorge was basically over. There were corpses everywhere in the narrow and long gorge, and the scarlet blood was sprinkled all over the gorge. Against the background of the moonlight, it looked extraordinarily monstrous and thick enough to make people want to hear it. The bloody smell of vomiting filled it.

There are also clusters of red flames burning blazingly, making a "crackling" sound in the howling north wind, and pillar-like black smoke rises into the sky.

Those Qin soldiers on the ground who did not die but were unable to flee were wailing in pain, their voices were shrill...

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Tiger and Leopard Division who were still able to walk did not go up to give them a knife.

Because, there are more important things waiting for them to do-burning food and supplies.At the same time, they don't have the extra energy to make up the knife!
In the canyon, filled with a thick atmosphere of sorrow.

There were no dead soldiers in the Qin army. Seeing the death of his familiar comrades, he could only wait for death if he was seriously injured. He felt extremely sad, and his eyes showed despair!

The soldiers of the Lian family army, after the battle just now, suffered a lot of casualties. They looked at their dead comrades.Although the task was completed, the heart was also filled with pain and sorrow...

Li Kang sat behind Lian Ying, and after walking for a long time, he saw Wang Kui, Shudun, and the man with the birthmark, leaning against a big rock. Their bodies were covered with wounds, dripping with blood, their faces were pale, and their eyes were filled with dark eyes. The color of deep sorrow.

Six corpses were neatly arranged in front of them, and each corpse was covered with a blood-soaked black-red tarpaulin, which gave the dead their final dignity.

Li Kang hurriedly jumped off Lian Ying's big white horse. Due to the medicinal effect of the thousand-year-old blue demon honey, his physical strength recovered a little, and his legs and feet no longer trembled.

"Thank you, Lord Lian!" Li Kang said with gratitude in his eyes, looking at Lian Ying.

After he finished speaking, he quickly walked towards Wang Kui, Shudun and the man with the birthmark.

Lian Ying glanced at Wang Kui and the other three, but said nothing, and said softly, "Drive!".

Shen Jun's white horse spread its four hooves and carried its owner to the depths of the canyon.

Li Kang quickly walked in front of Wang Kui, Shudun, and the man with the birthmark, and said in a trembling voice, "Why are there only you three, and where are the other brothers?"

At this moment, the three of them raised their eyes and saw Li Kang.

The chunky tree stump, with a fat face full of blood, was full of sorrow, shed bloody tears, and whimpered:

"Brother Li Kang, the other brothers are all dead! Huh..."

As the tree stump spoke, he pointed to the six corpses covered by the black tarpaulin in front of him.

The eyes of Wang Kui and the man with the birthmark also looked at the six corpses.

Li Kang knew that the six corpses belonged to Mazi, Shouzi and four other brothers who belonged to the same family.

He still clearly remembered that after participating in the first battle in Wu'an City, Mazi happily said that his purpose of joining the army was to reach the seventh-rank state of the Green Star Realm, so that he could return to the family to fight for the position of patriarch, and marry his beloved girl as wife.

The purpose of the thin man's joining the army is to make military achievements in exchange for the precious blood jade ganoderma to heal his seriously ill father and prolong his life.

The other four brothers who share the same name also have their own goals of joining the army.

And... now, they have all become icy corpses, lying in the icy snow...

Die before your ambition is fulfilled!
Li Kang came to Wang Kui, Shudun, and the man with the birthmark, and patted their shoulders lightly.

His eyes were full of persistence, and he pursed his lips and said: "Brothers, the dead are gone, we living people must cheer up! The dead brothers still need our living brothers to fulfill their unfulfilled wishes." Done! This is our best memorial to them!"

Shudun, Wang Kui, the man with the birthmark and others raised their eyes one after another when they heard the words, and looked at Li Kang's firm and persistent eyes.

Wang Kui said in a sad voice: "Brother Mazi, when he was dying, entrusted me to go to his hometown, and hand over the red bellyband embroidered with wild ducks and the star medicine or star stone with his military achievements. In the hands of that woman! I must help him do it!"

"Yes, Brother Li Kang is right. We need to exchange the skinny man for the Blood Jade Ganoderma lucidum, and give it to his father to cure his illness. And then help..." Shudun wiped the blood and tears from Fat's face, choked up.

The man with the birthmark looked at Li Kang, calmed himself down, and said in the same way: "I agree with Brother Li Kang's words. From now on, we will help the dead brothers fulfill their wishes. This is our best memory for them!"

Li Kang looked at the three brothers and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, as long as there is one of us here, we will help other brothers fulfill their unfulfilled wishes!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his palm.

Wang Kui, the man with the birthmark, and Shudun stood up tremblingly, put their hands on Li Kang's, and held them tightly!
A fiery emotion called "brother" stirred in their hearts!
The eyes of the four were full of persistence and firmness.

……

At dawn, the fire in the Heiyou Gorge was still raging, and the rations of 700 million soldiers for half a year were continuously burned...

At this time, the remaining soldiers of the Tiger Leopard Division and the Shenji Battalion had already mounted their horses and set foot on the road back to Wu'an City.

In the empty, long and narrow Heiyou Gorge, there were still corpses covered in snow and the army rations still burning.

There are also shrill and mournful screams, accompanied by the sound of the whimpering north wind floating in the canyon... Heiyou Gorge has become a purgatory on earth!
……

At noon that day, in the Military Lord's Mansion in Wu'an City.

A soldier in red armor walked through the wind and snow, quickly ran towards the military master's study, came to the door of the study, and shouted: "Report to the military master, there is an urgent military situation!"

"Come in!" The heavy voice of the old army leader Lian came from inside the room.

The soldiers pushed through the door and presented a black cylindrical thing to the old military leader Lian, who was like a giant bear and had white beard and hair.

The big hand of the old army leader Lian held the pitch-black cylinder, and he was not in a hurry to open it.

Instead, when the soldier came out of the study room, he held the cylinder with both hands, and saw three dragon-flying phoenix-like small characters "Shenjiying" carved on the cylinder.

The eyes of the old army leader Lian slowly closed, and he whispered to himself with a hopeful tone: "Hope is good news!"

This seems to be speaking to oneself, and it seems to be speaking to the supreme and mysterious existence in the dark!
