Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

After Chu Tinghan made the arrangements, he ordered the Xuanwu Battalion officers to set up sentry posts and patrol around the island, and the island temporarily became a stronghold for the warriors from the Eastern Region.

The warriors from the Eastern Region who had just participated in the war were now looking for safe areas on the islands to recover their strength.

After visits and statistics by the officers of the Xuanwu Camp, it was found that in the battle just now, the total loss of the Eastern Territory warriors was close to 232 warriors, and only more than 30 warriors survived.

This battle was a disastrous defeat for the warriors of the Eastern Region.

After learning this data, Lin Bai walked to a cliff on the east side of the island and sat down, with some remorse and guilt on his face.

But more than anything, it was helplessness.

At this moment, he was carefully reviewing the plans and actions of the past few days in his mind, and found that it was almost a dead end. Even if the time was reversed and returned to two days ago, he could not think of a better solution!

If the magic circle is not activated to fight the Northern Territory warriors, the Eastern Territory warriors inside the island will mutiny, and they will overthrow Lin Bai's rule and fight on their own.

In this way, the cohesion of the Eastern Region warriors will collapse, and all the Eastern Region warriors will end up fighting individually and will be defeated one by one by the Northern Region warriors.

If the magic circle is activated to fight against the Northern Territory warriors, the outcome will definitely be a bleak one.

No matter how you choose, there is no better choice.

"It's not your fault, and you don't need to blame yourself so much."

While Lin Bai was sitting on the cliff, stunned, Chu Tinghan's voice came from behind.

She slowly came from behind, sat next to Lin Bai, and whispered: "I should also be blamed for this matter. I should have thought that they are not soldiers. Facing the insults and provocations of the Northern Territory warriors, they must not be able to hide their anger. , sooner or later it will provoke a mutiny."

"I should have warned you before leaving to be careful."

"But..." Chu Tinghan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it. A few people dying in each war is nothing."

"Don't say that hundreds of Eastern Territory warriors died, even if it is thousands or tens of thousands... it is reasonable. There is no need to be too sad about their deaths."

Chu Tinghan said as he handed over a bottle of wine.

Lin Bai looked at her in surprise, took the wine and took a sip.

Dragon blood wine.

It still has that familiar taste, overbearing and spicy, like drinking dragon's blood.

Lin Bai couldn't help but take two more sips.

He suddenly recalled... When Chu Zimo, Chu Tinghan, and Chu Tingxue, the three princess princes of Prince Liang's Mansion, heard that two hundred and three warriors had died, their faces were extremely calm, with almost no waves. .

Presumably, it was because the three brothers and sisters followed the Liang King in southern and northern wars. They had already seen many life and death situations, and their hearts had become cold.

In their eyes, those two or three hundred warriors, even if they were in the Taiyi Daoguo realm, died, they were dead, it was no big deal.

But for Lin Bai... He was in Tianshui Sect, and he knew that the two to three hundred Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors were all talented warriors carefully cultivated by major sects and families.

All hard-won.

Such a death is a huge loss to many sects and families.

far away.

Siblings Chu Zimo and Chu Tingxue stood together and secretly looked at the two people on the cliff in the distance, both looking confused and puzzled.

"Second sister, what's wrong with the eldest sister?" Chu Zimo frowned and asked in great confusion: "Why did the eldest sister suddenly change her attitude towards Mr. Langhou?"

"do you remember?"

"When we recruited Lord Lang, he was rejected by him. At that time, the eldest sister even said that he would be chopped into pieces and his bones reduced to ashes."

"Why suddenly..."

Chu Zimo didn't understand very much.

Chu Tingxue folded her arms, raised her eyebrows, and looked at the two people on the cliff with a smile, "I think... these two people must have discovered something wonderful between them to make their relationship so weird and unpredictable. "

"Maybe..." Chu Tingxue smiled and said to Chu Zimo, "Maybe... we are going to have a brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law?..." Chu Zimo's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked at Lin Bai again. Recalling the huge problems that Lin Bai had caused in Chu country, a smile appeared on his lips, "Master Lang, do you want to be my brother-in-law? Just do it reluctantly. .”

"But doesn't he still have an engagement with Princess Shenxian?"

"That is an engagement made by His Majesty the Emperor of Chu himself. Is it possible that Lord Lang still dares to regret the engagement?"

"If he regrets his marriage, Emperor Chu will not let him go easily without giving face to the royal family."

Chu Tingxue whispered: "We are not discussing the regret of the marriage now. What I am more curious about now is... what happened between them in the hunting world!"

Chu Zimo curled his lips and said, "I don't care what happens to them in the hunting world, I just want to know if Mr. Langhou will become my brother-in-law?"

…

At dawn, the Xuanwu Camp soldiers came to the cliff to find Chu Tinghan. They informed her that the magic circle on the island had been built and asked her to go and inspect it.

Only then did Chu Tinghan leave the cliff.

As soon as they walked out, they saw Yi Heze, Lu Qingjun, Chen Yule, Huang Qingyun and others smiling at Chu Tinghan who was approaching.

Seeing the friendly smiles on these people's faces, Chu Tinghan suddenly blushed and asked, "Can your injuries get better?"

"We don't have any injuries." Chen Yule shrugged and said, "Meng Qinxian's injury is relatively serious, and he has gone for treatment now."

Chu Tinghan nodded, looked back at Lin Bai on the cliff, and said, "Master Langhou is not seriously injured, but he seems to blame himself."

"It's because he feels that he caused the death of so many warriors on the island."

"Wrong!" Chen Yule waited for Chu Tinghan to finish speaking and then said with a smile, decisively rejecting Chu Tinghan's idea!

"Wrong? What's wrong?" Chu Tinghan looked at Chen Yule in confusion.

Chen Yule smiled and said: "Princess Tinghan, Brother Lin's guilt and self-blame are not due to the deaths of hundreds of warriors on the island."

"And he has no guilt or remorse!"

"Princess Tinghan misunderstood him."

ah? ...Chu Tinghan frowned, not quite understanding what Chen Yule meant.

If Lin Bai was not feeling guilty and remorseful, then why was he in such a low mood?

Chen Yule continued: "The reason why Brother Lin is so depressed is because in this confrontation, the warriors from the Eastern Region bowed to the warriors from the Northern Region."

"And he is the commander-in-chief of the warriors in the Eastern Region, and Wei Junfeng is the commander-in-chief of the warriors in the Northern Region."

"This indirectly shows that... Brother Lin was defeated at the hands of Xiao Junfeng."

"This is the reason why Brother Lin is depressed." Chen Yule took two steps forward and looked at Lin Bai's back on the cliff. "It is difficult for an aloof swordsman like Brother Lin to accept his own failure."

"Really?" Only then did Chu Tinghan react. No wonder when she comforted Lin Bai on the cliff just now, Lin Bai didn't reply.

It turns out that the words are not speculative.

"The Holy Son of the Chen family seems to know Lord Langhou very well?" Chu Tinghan asked with a smile.

"Yes." Chen Yule continued with a smile: "We are all sword cultivators, and sword cultivators naturally know each other very well."

Seeing the proud smile on Chen Yule's face, Chu Tinghan looked a little unhappy, "Aren't you friends? How can you still laugh when you see Lord Langhou so disappointed?"

"Hahaha." Chen Yule couldn't help but laugh again, "Why can't you laugh? I have also experienced unacceptable defeats in my life."

"And it was given to me personally by Brother Lin!"
