Chapter 160 160: Wolf Smoke【Ask for a monthly ticket】
Zhai Le is very clear in his heart.
If it wasn't for the protection of the martial arts just now, the knife would definitely chop him into two neat pieces from his right shoulder to his left waist.
There are shattered marks on the shoulder armor of the martial arts armor, and it is absolutely impossible to resist the second cut at the same position! The next knife will definitely break!
By then—
Zhai Le could almost foresee that scene—if he was lucky, he would just lose this arm, if he was unlucky, he would die young!
But so what?
He grinned, showing his blood-stained teeth, the boy's peach blossom eyes were brighter than ever before, and he transformed into a red tasseled hooked spear again.
Gong Shuwu is not as relaxed as it seems.
Juvenile talent is almost terrifying.
Perhaps even Zhai Le himself didn’t realize that he was improving all the time, even if the progress was not obvious, but every time he could bring different surprises and pressure to Gong Shuwu.
If Zhai Le can live to adulthood, no, as long as two more years, surpassing him is a certainty. It is not scary that a person is gifted and savvy, what is scary is that he is still working hard.
Gong Shuwu stabilized his breath, seeing Zhai Le's fighting spirit was high, not only was he not depressed by death, but he became more and more courageous as he fought.
couldn't help laughing: "Okay! It's just in time!"
Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.
In the latter, our side has the upper hand, but the balance of the former is gradually tilting towards the enemy. Chu Yao and the two were also very helpless about this. After all, the number of their own troops was small, and the leader of the martial arts soldiers still focused all his attention on fighting the enemy, and could not continue to restore the martial arts.
The number itself is a disadvantage. One less soldier with martial arts dies, and the gap is gradually widened. Therefore, the overall situation of the battle is still stalemate, unless-one of the main generals is beheaded!
Either Zhai Le was beheaded, or Yang Duwei!
Coincidentally, Zhai Huan also thought the same way—either the strong man with the scar was killed, or the ninth-rank and five doctors were executed.
His and Chu Yao's eyes were dark, one was about to raise his hand and the other was changing gestures with his fingers in his sleeve, and was about to launch some words of wisdom, but at this critical moment, an accident that no one expected happened—
The sky suddenly rises from bottom to top, a white and bright light rises, and the path drags down a long tail, a bit like a shooting star.
However, whose meteor didn't fall from the sky?
This light rising from the ground is like the sentry arrow that Zhai Le used to warn everyone before, but the power of the sentry arrow is not so strong, and the warning distance is not so far. The light exploded at the highest point, and a streak of fireworks was fleeting. Is it fireworks?
As if to respond, another place in the distance raised the same light, the third, fourth, fifth...
Each road is separated by a long distance.
Shen Tang doesn't care about these things, she only has Captain Yang as an enemy in front of her, and she puts all her heart into it, and trembles all over at the thought of taking the enemy's head off his neck.
Impulse, bloodthirsty, excitement, pleasure!
This feeling makes her whole body feel good!
flutter-
The blade pierced into the flesh, splashing a large amount of blood.
It turned out that Yang Duwei lost his mind for a moment, and the shoulder armor on his upper arm was cut open by the sword, leaving a half-knuckle deep wound.
The sting made him frown.
Zhai Huan's literary energy protection for the next moment allowed him to avoid Shen Tang's fatal second blow. He suddenly changed his previous reckless and rough style of fighting, and uttered a word in his mouth. He jumped up and rode wildly. A tall horse that turned from fiction to reality.
Seeing that he wanted to run away, Shen Tang was so angry that his eyes were red.
Is this bullying that she doesn't have a horse?
Who said two legs can't run with four?
"Are you going to kill me or intercept the tax money?"
Shen Tang was puzzled: "Is there a difference?"
Yang Duwei's face was ashen, he stared at Shen Tang's scarred face unwillingly, and said viciously: "If you want tax money, I will give it to you!"
Shen Tang: "...???"
On the other side, Zhai Le and Gong Shuwu also tacitly stopped.
No, to be precise, they stopped when they saw the light clusters rising one after another, and they knew what the light represented.
is "Wolf Smoke"!
The so-called "beacon smoke" is the fireworks lit on the beacon tower when the border guards discover the enemy's situation. But that was the definition more than 200 years ago. Today's "Wolf Smoke" has been slightly changed, and its nature and principle are similar to the "Whistle Arrow" shot by Zhai Le before.
Different colors of "wolf smoke" represent different meanings, and the meanings of wolf smoke in different regions and countries are also different. But whatever it is, rising smoke means war.
How could Captain Yang not know?
This wolf smoke means return aid.
Regardless of all costs and losses, return to the state capital!
At the moment it is still in Sibao County.
The representative of the state capital means Xiaocheng.
Yang Duwei was so angry that his eyes turned red.
If it's an ordinary trouble, why raise smoke to warn? Therefore, he was not reconciled in his heart and could only choose to give up the tax money he protected, and chose to lead his troops back to check the situation! Not only because of the wolf smoke military order, but also because his family and relatives are all in Xiaocheng.
Another important thing is that if you continue to fight, the best result is that both sides will suffer. He even suspected that the group in front of him was the same as the enemy who caused Xiaocheng to rise up, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? Therefore, he needs to testify with words!
If Shen Tang agrees, it means no.
If you insist on fighting, it is probably tricky.
The surrounding fire was bright, everyone was wounded, half of Yang Duwei's face was also stained red with blood. Enduring his anger and injury, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood: "How are you doing?"
Shen Tang tilted his head and looked at Yang Duwei indifferently.
To tell the truth, she really wanted to take the head of Captain Yang.
But the words changed when they reached the lips.
"Okay, people leave, wealth stays."
Yang Duwei's eyes were red, and he gave the truce order hoarsely, and led the remaining 800 people to retreat in the direction they had come and gone. Zhai Le clutched his chest to calm down the turbulent breath, took a deep look at Gong Shuwu and Shen Tang, gritted his teeth, and summoned the horse.
On the way to ride, I picked up my cousin who was about to bottom out.
Gong Shuwu didn't take advantage of the situation and let him leave. During the battle, it can be as bad as it is, but the two sides have jointly ceased the war, and any sneak attack is the act of a villain. Not long after, only Shen Tang and two hundred warriors were left in the temporary camp.
When the two Qi Shans came, Shen Tang was still a little puzzled: "Just now, you were fighting to kill, why did you suddenly say you would quit?"
"Mostly because of those wolf smoke."
"Is that wolf smoke? Are they going to help?"
Chu Yao looked solemn: "I'm afraid that's the case."
Gong Shuwu withdrew his armor and soldiers, and exhaled heavily: "What could be more important than these taxes?"
Chu Yao asked: "I don't know half a step?"
Gong Shuwu sneered.
"How do I know?"
Xin State destroyed the country, and the Gong family assigned him. He only received the salary of Xin State, and never served Geng State. How would he know what the various beacons in Sibao County under the rule of Geng State represent?
This is a military secret and should not be leaked easily.

I went to have my hair dyed today. The effect I wanted was not obvious indoors, but a slight brown color outside. The result—after three or four hours, my hair didn’t seem to change...
