Chapter three hundred and ninety third: life and death

After arranging all the matters, Ye Guan stood on the top of Zhu'an City and looked into the distance. The darkness of the night mixed with heavy rain, and it was no longer clear to see at a very close distance. But according to Ye Guan's estimate, the enemy would definitely come again, soon.

One thing he had been worried about was that he arranged for Tu Xingping to attack the enemy camp. At that time, he said it was very simple, but both of them knew what it meant. Tu Xingping had only two thousand soldiers in his hands, and even if they all broke into the enemy, they would not play a key role, but they could buy time for the retreat of the large army. At that time, Tu Xingping was also ready to fight to the death.

But until Ye Guan led his troops to retreat to Zhu'an City, he had never heard any shouts of killing nearby. Tu Xingping's troops did not appear, and until now, there was no news.

The heavy rain was slowly stopping, and Ye Guan stood quietly in the cold rain, looking towards the direction of the camp in the distance. He knew that it was dawn and he had not seen an enemy army attacking the city. This made Ye Guan puzzled.

In the early morning, everything was shrouded in hazy mist. After a night of heavy rain, everything seemed to have been washed away. The battle that emerged in the jungle last night seemed to have never been born, but looking into the distance with the morning light, you can still see traces of blood in the stream on the roadside.

The heavy rain washed away everything, as if all the sins had been washed away, and the corpse of the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion who were left in the jungle was washed away by the rain.

Kou Long's body leaned quietly on a tree, his eyes closed slightly, and his hideous smile before his death was still on his face, but it seemed a little stiff. His face was so white that there was no trace of blood.

A few light sounds came, and a figure appeared beside Kou Long's corpse. The man was wearing a gray robe, with a spotted color, but there was no wrinkle on his face. He was looking at Kou Long's corpse with interest, with a strange smile on his face.

"Old man Tian is really interesting. I didn't ask me that boy surnamed Liu, so I found such a substitute for me." The old man had a strange smile on his face. He looked at Kou Long's corpse leaning against the tree, took a few steps forward, waved his hands, and a strange gray energy appeared around his body. He lifted Kou Long's corpse and floated in front of the old man in the air.

The old man curled his lips and looked at Kou Long's body. He seemed to be a little unsatisfied. He sighed softly and waved his hands again. The strange gray energy in front of him immediately wrapped Kou Long's body, quickly removing the armor on his body, revealing Kou Long's solid chest, and the chest was covered with scars.

"Tell me, why are you doing so hard?" The old man stepped forward a few steps, stretched out a hand that was as haggard as Kou Long, and touched Kou Long's wound, and said, "In the end, it's not dead. It's so tragic, and his body is like a hole. How much power is consumed like this." As he said that, the old man was obviously a little impatient, and reached out to pat Kou Long's body hard, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction.

"Damn Old Man Tian, ​​just give me such a person. When I go back, I must cause trouble for him!" The old man roared at Kou Long's corpse, a little hysterical, but in the end he still gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. He looked at Kou Long's corpse and sighed again.

After glanced at his mouth, the old man stretched out his hands and quickly transformed on Kou Long's chest. Gray mist flashed out. Soon, a strange magic circle appeared on Kou Long's chest.

"The Technique of Heaven, Resurrection!" The old man roared with a sharp voice, and his hands suddenly slapped Kou Long's chest. With only a few crisp sounds, the thick gray mist that had originally enveloped the corpse quickly penetrated into his body. The original scars on the corpse were also healing quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared.

The old man gently removed the gray mist that grabbed Kou Long's body. Kou Long's body fell to the ground and made a strange, kneeling position.

The old man grabbed Kou Long's heavenly spirit with one hand and muttered something. Suddenly, a dark light shot out from the old man's body and penetrated into Kou Long's body.

"Wake up." The old man raised his hand, stretched out his index finger, and asked to click on Kou Long's forehead. The next moment, General Kou Long, who had been dead for a long time, actually opened his eyes and looked at the old man in front of him. Then, he stood up and saluted respectfully to the old man.

His skin was still strangely pale, and his face was extremely pale, but the scars on his body had disappeared, as if he had never been injured before. His eyes were dull, but he obviously had the ability to move.

If others see this situation, they will definitely get scared to illness. Things like life, death, human flesh and bones are simply fantasy, but now this mysterious old man has turned this matter into reality.

"Oh..." After doing this, the old man looked at Kou Long, sighed, and said with a little sad tone, "I really lost my money. Originally, this yin power was to be left to that boy Liu, but I didn't want to give you a discount. How many people dreamed of becoming my slave, and that old man Tian of the Heavenly Demon actually asked me to take you away, and I really angered me to death."

The old man was obviously dissatisfied with Kou Long's 100. It was said that General Kou Long was also a warrior with high cultivation and excellent combat power during his lifetime. He was outstanding in all aspects, but compared with Liu Yuanliu, there was indeed a little gap.

"Okay, come with me. I don't know what Old Man Tian asked me to take you for. It's best if you stay in the forest and rotten." The old man looked at the resurrected Kou Long helplessly. Kou Long's face was expressionless and there was no movement at all. The old man shook his sleeves helplessly, turned around, and walked towards the depths of the jungle. Kou Long followed the old man, and the figures of the two disappeared in the vast jungle.

After dawn, the first ray of sunlight shone down, dispelling the thick fog in the morning. At this moment, Ye Guan saw a group of soldiers slowly moving in the distance at the top of the city. The soldiers and lookout soldiers guarding the city left and right also immediately discovered the abnormality in the distance. They immediately became nervous. All the guardians and weapons were ready and aimed at the city under the city.

It was not until the pair of soldiers approached that Ye Guan saw clearly that the pair of soldiers were Tu Xingping, who was extremely worried. He quickly ordered all soldiers to put down their bows and crossbows to prevent accidental injuries, and ordered the city to be opened immediately and Tu Xingping's troops came in.

Standing above the city wall, Ye Guan and Tu Xingping, who had walked under the city, looked at each other. Ye Guan saw some confusion in his eyes.

After entering the city, Ye Guan immediately found Tu Xingping. The two sat in a suggested bungalow, and they had many questions in their minds that they needed to answer.

"General Tu, you are..." After Tu Xingping sat down, Ye Guan spoke immediately. According to his previous arrangement, Tu Xingping should have taken people to raid the enemy's rear and create chaos to give the large army a chance to retreat. However, looking at the establishment of Tu Xingping's troops, it did not look like a war.

Tu Xingping knew that Ye Guan must have such a question, and immediately returned: "According to the commander-in-chief, General Mo led two thousand soldiers along Zongqiu Mountain and headed straight to the rear of the enemy. However, when he arrived at the place, he only saw a simple camp, and did not see a shadow of the enemy. General Mo felt suspicious and immediately led the soldiers to search nearby. However, except for this camp, he did not see an enemy army. Until he entered the depths of the jungle and saw the battlefield after the fierce battle, he realized that the enemy might have retreated long ago."

"Retreat?" Ye Guan's heart burst. The enemy had obviously gained a great advantage last night. Why did he retreat suddenly? Even if he led his team to gather the soldiers together, there were only a few thousand troops. He was in the vast jungle and had no advantage at all. The enemy could take down all this troops just by attacking again, and why did he retreat suddenly?

"Yes." Tu Xingping nodded and said, "I checked several times and even arranged for the scout to go to the jungle on the other side. The enemy camps on both sides were empty and there were no abnormalities outside the corpses in the jungle. The camps were also in order and there were no signs of panic. There was no trace of the enemy. The last general could only lead the troops back to Zhu'an City and wait for the next order of the general."

Listening to Tu Xingping's words, Ye Guan's brows frowned again. This matter was too incredible and could not be used to infer it using common sense.

What is the purpose of the enemy's sudden retreat? Isn't it that the enemy's troops in the East Prince's Mansion have been crazily attacking Zhu'an City these days, and isn't it that the purpose of encircling and annihilation of the East Prince's Mansion? But at the end of the moment, they suddenly retreated, giving the East Prince's Mansion a chance to retreat?

Last night, Ren Zijin's battle report had been sent back. The retreat route was very quiet, and there was no trace of enemy ambush at all. The vanguard had now arrived near Shilu City. According to the battle report, there were no defensive soldiers above the head of Shilu City. It is very likely that the same thing as Zhu'an City was born in the city. Ren Zijin did not dare to act rashly and wrote to Ye Guan for instructions.

Things continued to move in a strange direction, which made Ye Guan unable to figure out the clues. This was the first time he fought such a battle. Until now, he had not figured out the real intentions of the enemy. Could it be that he was to lead the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion to Shilu City? What's the point? Force the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion to attack the city?

Ye Guan thought about it and asked Tu Xingping to go down to rest first. He immediately left the house and came to the scout camp. He ordered the scout camp to dispatch three teams to search for the enemy's traces nearby, and searched carefully in the mountains, from the back, left and right, including in the deep mountains.

The scout took the order and left, and Ye Guan fell into deep thought again. He could not give any orders easily now.

Some of the troops had withdrawn from Zhu'an City. At that time, Ye Guan had no choice but to report the purpose of how much they could retreat, which was to calculate how much they could retreat. However, the enemy's sudden retreat caught Ye Guan off guard. If he arranged to give up Zhu'an City, then once the enemy gathered halfway and suddenly attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, if he ordered Ren Zijin to attack the city now, Ye Guan was not on the spot and was not sure.

Tens of thousands of enemy troops suddenly disappeared under his nose. This matter can no longer be described as strange, and it is simply incredible.

If no trace of the enemy was found in front of Zhu'an City, Ye Guan planned to ask Ren Zijin to withdraw, and everyone would leave Zongqiu Mountain from the main gate of Zhu'an City, and not touch another city to avoid more accidents. Moreover, Zhu'an City is closer to the outside world and retreats faster. There are other secret matters in the nearby mountains, and ordinary soldiers dare not enter the deep mountains easily, so they should be relatively safer.

Suddenly, Zhu'an City became quiet. Before, the troops were always at the city, but now the enemy suddenly disappeared. The soldiers on both sides were a little confused and didn't know what the enemy was thinking.

Ye Guan ordered all the soldiers to change shifts and repair them to maintain the normal defense of the city. He returned to the previous courtyard, sat behind the wooden table, and frowned and thought about things.

And at this moment, a strange fire light appeared in front of him. The next moment, a figure appeared. Ye Guan immediately stood up, but the person in front of him had seen him before.
