Chapter 76 The Return of the Warriors
On the same day, in the camp of the Qin Army thirty miles away from Wu'an City, it was in the tent of the Chinese Army.

Wearing a purple and gold battle robe, Meng Tian, ​​the commander of the Qin Army, was holding a roll of secret letters in his hand, with black lines all over his face, and a strong murderous intent was revealed from his eyes.

Suddenly, his face flushed, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, onto the ground in front of him.

"The Lian family army, the old man Lianpo, I, Meng Tian, ​​swear that one day I will kill each of you, all of you!!!"

Because Meng Tian was too excited and angry, he was badly injured last time, and couldn't help vomiting blood.

The volume of secret letter in his hand was sent by a spy eight hundred miles away from Heiyou Gorge.

The content of the secret letter is that all the military resources were burned by the Lian family army, the eldest prince was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown.

At this moment, Meng Tian finally understood why the Lian family army had attacked the Qin army camp at night for seven consecutive days not long ago—it was to cover the Lian family army who was going to the Heiyou Gorge to ambush the Qin army's food delivery army. Build plank roads to darken Chencang.

"Old man Lian Po, you are playing tricks on me over and over again!"

Meng Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said bitterly.

……

On the same day, the capital of Zhao State, Zhao Palace.

In the Longevity Hall, King Zhao, dressed in a purple robe and crown, was sitting on a luxurious throne, holding a roll of dark yellow paper in his hand.

He looked at the content on the paper, a pale and slightly sickly young face showed a smile, and tremblingly said: "God help me Zhao Guo! God help me Zhao Guo!"

The civil and military ministers on both sides under the throne also showed curiosity on their faces when they heard the words: what is it that makes the king so happy.

At this moment, a middle-aged fat man with a fat face and a pair of triangular eyes walked out from the queue of civil servants. He cupped his hands at the king and said loudly: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king! God must bless me Zhao!" country, the country of Zhao will last forever!"

This person is Zhao Guo's right prime minister, Pompey, also known as sub-prime minister, who ranks second among the civil servants after the left prime minister.

He is best at observing words and demeanor, flattering people, and loves money like his life. At the same time, the city is extremely deep and his methods are ruthless.

Lin Xiangru, Prime Minister of Zuo, who was ranked first among civil officials, showed displeasure on his upright face and frowned slightly when he heard the words.

He stepped forward and said, "I don't know what is it that makes Your Majesty so happy?"

"Haha, of course it's a good thing, a great thing! Old General Lian Po successfully burned half a year's rations for Qin's 700 million troops, causing Qin's 500 million reinforcements to retreat. The crisis in Wu'an City has been resolved!" The pale young King Zhao laughed loudly.

When the officials below heard the words, all of them had smiles on their faces.

Lin Xiangru frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I think that although General Lian burned Qin's military rations this time, it temporarily stopped the attacking momentum of Qin's army. However, Qin's national power has multiplied. Yu Zhao, it is very likely that he will increase his troops again... We still need to increase our troops in Wu'an City first!"

King Zhao on the throne heard the words, and the joyful look on his face decreased a lot.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as Old Master Lian is around, no matter how many Qin troops come, they will never break through Wu'an City. Old General Lian is the No. 1 General in Zhao Kingdom!" The fat Pompeii hurriedly said with a smile.

……

On the ninth day after the Battle of Heiyou Gorge, in the middle of the night.

The sky was still snowing heavily with goose feathers, and the stern, knife-like north wind was still roaring tirelessly.

Outside the east gate of Wu'an City, eight or nine hundred blood-soaked cavalrymen appeared. Most of these cavalrymen carried black cloth parcels on their backs. Each of them carried at least two, and many carried three or four. .

There is a deep tired look on their faces.

Just when they approached the city gate with hundreds of feet away, the thick bronze city gate slowly opened, when the gate was fully opened.

The long streets inside the city gate were lit up with flames, and the flames stretched along the bluestone streets like a long dragon.

This is countless soldiers holding torches, standing in the wind and snow.

The first person who appeared at the gate of the city was an old man who straddled a mahogany maroon horse, his body was as majestic as a giant bear, his beard and hair were white, and he exuded an aura like a mountain.

He is the leader of the Lian family army, the old general Lian Po.

At this moment, the pair of big copper bell eyes of the old army leader Lian radiated a dazzling light, and a kind smile appeared on his always serious old face, and he uttered a voice like thunder:

"Welcome home the warriors of the Lian Family Army!"

After the old army leader Lian finished speaking, countless soldiers lined up on both sides of the street behind the city gate on the head of Wu'an City spoke loudly at the same time:

"Welcome home the warriors of the Lian Family Army!"

"Welcome home the warriors of the Lian Family Army!"

"Welcome home the warriors of the Lian Family Army!"

"..."

This is, all the soldiers shouted from the heart, and every face showed expressions of excitement, excitement, and pride.

They are proud and proud of the heroes in their hearts, because these heroes all come from the same Lian family army as them!
Nine days ago, they knew the news that the brothers of Shenjiying and Tiger Leopard Division had won the Heiyou Gorge, and there were 800 people, against 10 of the Qin Army.

In order to welcome the hero's return, they lined up here from the morning until late at night, despite the snowstorm falling all over the sky, every soldier became a snowman.

However, none of them wanted to leave first.

The same goes for the old army leader Lian. He received a message from the leader of the Shenji camp a few days ago, saying that he would probably arrive in Wu'an City today.

That deafening roar: "Welcome the warriors of the Lian family army home!"

The more than 800 elites of the Lian Family Army who survived the Battle of Heiyou Gorge all felt very warm, making them feel that their previous efforts were worthwhile.

At this moment, they felt that their tired bodies seemed to be injected with some powerful force, which made their tiredness disappear a lot.

Li Kang, Wang Kui, Shudun and the man with the birthmark walked into Wu'an City amidst the warm welcome of the Lian's army.

They walked through the street, and all the soldiers on both sides of the street used their weapons to knock on the bluestone slab covered with snow, making deafening "clang", "clang", "clang" sounds.

The soldiers of the Lian family army expressed their heartfelt respect to the returning warriors.

At this moment, Li Kang, Wang Kui and others felt that everything they had paid was worthwhile.

In this way, with the sound of "clang", they walked through the long street lined up by Lian's soldiers on both sides, until they walked outside their own barracks.

Li Kang took off the two black cloth bags on his back and said, "Brother Mazi, brother Slim, we're going home!"

Wang Kui, Shudun, and the man with the birthmark also took off the black cloth bags on their bodies and said, "Brothers, we are going home!"

Inside the black cloth bag were the ashes of the dead pockmarked, thin and four other brothers.

After the four of them finished speaking, they got off their horses and walked into the military tent.

Li Kang looked at those camp beds with neatly folded quilts, but now there is no owner, he couldn't help but feel a little sad...

He put the black cloth bag containing the ashes of the pockmarked and thin man on their respective beds.

"Woooo..." Shu pier put the ashes of a brother on the bed, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Okay, Shudun, we living people must continue to live strong. Only in this way can we fulfill their unfulfilled last wishes for the dead brothers. Take a good rest and heal your injuries first!" Li Kang comforted.

At this moment, the curtain door outside the military tent was opened.

A gust of cold wind blew in, and three people walked in. The one at the front was a young battalion leader wearing a helmet with two white feathers inserted, and the two behind were ordinary soldiers.

In the hands of the two soldiers, there were two trays covered with red silk cloth.

"Four warriors, these are the healing medicines and star medicines to restore the power of astrology given to you by the old army leader Lian. Take them all!" The young battalion leader looked at Li Kang and the others with admiration in his eyes.

"Thank you!" After Li Kang finished speaking, he took the tray with Wang Kui and others.

"Mr. Lian also ordered you to rest in peace for the next three days, and a celebration meeting will be held in three days. For the next month and a half, you all just need to rest in peace and recuperate. Don't participate in other training for the time being. Let's talk about recovering from the injury!" The camp owner continued.

Li Kang nodded at him.

After the camp owner and the two soldiers left, Li Kang divided the healing medicine and star medicine in the two trays into four, and Shudun, Wang Kui, and the man with the birthmark each took one.

Li Kang also took his share: two bottles of top-grade golden sore medicine for physical injuries and ten top-grade green star grass for restoring astrological power.

For the next time, everyone didn't speak any more, sat cross-legged on the bed, swallowed the healing medicine, and began to quietly restore the damaged physical body and natal astrology.

In the battle of Heiyou Gorge, almost everyone suffered heavy injuries.

There were more than 500 cracks in Wang Kui's natal astrology, more than 400 cracks in Shudun's natal astrology, and more than 400 cracks in the birthmarked man. Li Kang's natal astrology had the most cracks, with [-] cracks as much.

There are so many cracks in Li Kang's natal astrology, mainly because he used "Volley Stepping" twice.

With the power of his current astrology, he can only stay in the air for a cup of tea time at most. If it exceeds the time of a cup of tea, the natal astrology will be in danger of shattering.

In the military tent, dozens of knife cuts appeared on everyone's body.

These incisions had been dealt with simply after the battle in Heiyou Gorge.

Li Kang quietly sat cross-legged on his own bed with the curtains drawn. He took out a small blue bottle and took a sip, then recapped the small bottle and put it back in his pocket.

The little white fox next to him stared at its master with a pair of round black eyes, drooling from its little pink mouth, looking very eager.

However, the little white fox's dark eyes looked at the weakened state of the master's breath, and then with great difficulty moved his longing gaze away from the vial in the master's hand.

Li Kang had no choice but to use this bottle of thousand-year-old blue demon honey to heal himself, and it was impossible for the little white fox to eat it again. The injury this time was too serious.

Only the thousand-year-old blue demon honey, a precious healing medicine, can help him recover quickly. He doesn't know if a bottle is enough to restore all the cracks in his natal astrology.
