Excalibur laughs

Ling Chu glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, knowing the importance of the jade pendant, he hastily refused to accept it, and panicked: "No way, this thing is too expensive, I can't take it."

Meng Yao forced the jade pendant into Ling Chu's hand, and said, "Yun Yun is the future Dragon Lord of the human race. I'm gone. This jade pendant should belong to him. Besides, if I don't come back this time, this jade pendant will be destroyed." It has fallen into the hands of the Ministry of Political Affairs, and I am most at ease when I put it here with you."

As soon as Ling Chu heard that it made sense, he had no choice but to take the jade pendant and said reluctantly: "May Your Majesty's trip be safe and sound. Yun Yun and I are still waiting to see Your Majesty again."

Meng Yao nodded, said goodbye to the others one by one, then looked at everyone reluctantly, turned around and followed Luo Qu to the city gate.

Yun Yun watched Meng Yao and the group go away, feeling indescribably sad.

Lingchu knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, and said softly, "If you want to go with me, I won't stop you."

Yun Yun shook his head and said, "No need, I will stay with you."

As soon as Luo Qu and the others left the city, they ran into Liu Bao who was coming towards him.

Liu Bao said to Luo Qu: "The Holy Monarch is worried that the ghost clan will be unfavorable to the Meng clan, so he sent a humble official to escort His Majesty Mengyao together with the second master."

Meng Yao thanked Liu Bao after hearing the words, and said to Liu Bao: "General Liu sees Shengjun, please express my thanks on Meng Yao's behalf."

Liu Bao nodded, and seeing a trace of doubt in Luo Qu's eyebrows, he said to Luo Qu again: "The ghost clan has its own excuses for the lowly position, Second Lord, don't worry."

Hearing this, Luo Qu gave a "hmm" and walked straight towards the human army formation.

The human army formation has been divided into two sides, and there is a passage three to four feet wide in the middle of the formation for Luo Qu and others to pass through. No one on the two sides of the soldiers spoke. The sound of horseshoes marching by Qu and others.

Meng Yao didn't look at those soldiers, she was afraid that she would be unhappy because of the look on their faces.

The expressions on the faces of those soldiers were puzzled, disgusted, and more regrettable and helpless. Meng Zhang looked at the soldiers carefully, and saw that their military appearances were fairly neat and clean, but the faces of most soldiers were There is a lack of perseverance and determination in everything, which makes him feel sad and regretful.

Meng Zhang has been in charge of the military for many years and has led countless battles. He knows that if soldiers do not have the determination to die or win before going out, once they go to the real battlefield, they will be afraid of death instead of fighting bravely. It's just that he doesn't want to think about it anymore.

Lin Hao didn't recognize Liu Bao and the dozens of soldiers behind him. He thought they were Luo Qu's subordinates, so he didn't say anything. After Luo Qu and others passed through the army formation, Lin Hao ordered the troops to move out. , followed closely behind Luo Qu and the others.

Before the time was up, Luo Qu and the others had already rode their horses for twenty miles. Since the ghost tribe was worried that Meng Yao and the others would flee to the Spiritual Race, they guarded the only way through the Spiritual Race in advance, so Luo Qu and the others went. Twenty li land happened to be outside the army formation of the ghost clan.

Seeing that the original [-] army of the ghost clan had disappeared, only a few hundred soldiers were left stationed in place. Wen Yuan walked out from the crowd. He saw Zhuge Changming from a distance, and a sudden burst of anger arose in his heart. But when he saw Luo Qu and Liu Bao beside him, he had no choice but to suppress his anger. When he got close, he got off his horse and bowed to Luo Qu, "Second Master and General Liu are here, why are you here?"

Luo Qu didn't look at him directly, said: "I have agreed with the human race to escort the Meng clan for thirty miles, I wonder if the nobles can give this face?"

Wen Yuan smiled sinisterly, and immediately replied: "Of course, we must give the face of the second master, of course, according to the distance, the second master can only escort them another ten miles."

Luo Qu glanced briefly at the crowd behind Wen Yuan, and then asked, "Where are Yi Jianghu and the others? You are a junior, you can't count your words, right?"

Wen Yuan smiled and said: "There is an important matter in the clan, and the Demon Venerable called urgently. Elder Yi and others have already returned to the ghost clan. The younger generation is completely in charge of the affairs here, and the younger generation's words can be counted."

Luo Qu didn't doubt that he was there, nodded slightly, gave a faint "hmm" and stopped talking.

Wen Yuan looked at Liu Bao again, and asked, "I don't know why General Liu is doing this trip?"

Liu Bao said coldly: "Second Master took Liu to pick up something, little brother, do you want to come with me?"

Wen Yuan hurriedly waved her hands, and said with a flattering smile: "That's not necessary, since that's the case, please go ahead."

Luo Qu and the others didn't doubt that there was him, seeing that there were only a few hundred people left in the ghost tribe, they didn't take it seriously, so they drove forward at a fast pace, but Meng Yao not only didn't feel relieved, but had a faint feeling. A sense of foreboding.

Meng Yao whispered to Luo Qu: "Second Lord, the ghost tribe will never withdraw easily, will they intercept in front?"

Luo Qu shook his head and said with a smile: "The ghost clansmen are either blocking in front, or they are going to the human race with soldiers. If they are blocking in the front, Your Majesty don't have to worry. They won't be able to find the road we are going to take. And the human race has [-] troops, and the rest of the army is defending the city, if the ghost race sneaks up on the human race, I'm afraid it will be a mess."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his horse's head and walked in another direction. Liu Bao hurriedly reminded: "Second Master, this is not the way to go to the Lingzu."

Luo Qu said with a smile: "If you go straight to the Spirit Race, you will definitely be chased by the human race's pursuers. Just follow me."

As he spoke, he suddenly swung his whip and ran towards the southeast. Meng Yao and the others could only follow closely behind, while the human army one mile behind saw Luo Qu and the others running wildly, so they couldn't help speeding up. speed.

Half an hour later, Meng Yao and the others suddenly heard the sound of water flowing, and the sound became clearer and clearer. Meng Yao wondered, "Is there a river ahead?"

Luo Qu smiled mysteriously, and rushed over there non-stop, saying: "You will know when we get there."

The crowd followed Luo Qu for a while, and when Luo Qu stopped his horse, they looked forward, and saw a big river flowing in front of them, the river was so fast and fierce that only two people could pass through it side by side. An iron chain bridge covered with planks connects the two banks of the big river. Judging from the traces on the iron chain, it seems that it was built recently. On the other side of the river, there are dozens of muddy men sitting on the bank, surrounded by a fire. Stacks of laundry.

When those dozens of men saw Luo Qu and the others, they rushed over immediately, knelt down to Luo Qu, and shouted in unison: "See the city lord."

Luo Qu nodded slightly, and thanked: "Brothers, you have worked hard, and the ghosts didn't find out, right?"

One of the men laughed and said: "Don't worry, the city lord. We followed the orders of the city lord and entered the territory of the spirit tribe through the pass guarded by the ghost tribe. The ghost tribe thought we were going to the spirit tribe and did not stop us. When we reached the territory of the spirit tribe, When we came over from the other side, the ghost tribe only guarded the way to the spirit tribe and didn't find us."

Luo Qu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the crowd, and said quite proudly: "The time is too short, so we can only build such a cable bridge. With everyone's skills, it is not difficult to cross this cable bridge."

As he spoke, he listened to the sound of horseshoes coming from behind him, and said again: "Crossing the river is the territory of the Spirit Clan. According to the agreement of the three clans, the army of the Ghost Clan cannot enter the territory of the Spirit Clan, so there will be no enemies ahead." Ambush, everyone, after crossing the river, cut off the iron chain, the human army will not be able to cross the river without profound skills."

Meng Zhang was both delighted and surprised, and asked, "Is there any other way to get to the other side?"

Knowing that Meng Zhang was worried that the human army would find another shortcut to catch up with them, Luo Qu said, "Don't worry, apart from this cable bridge, the shortest road to the opposite bank will take two hours. You can use these two hours to escape to The spirit clan takes refuge, although the human army can enter the spirit clan, but it may be difficult to catch up with you."

After listening to Luo Qu's words, Meng Yao admired Luo Qu very much, and couldn't help but praise him: "Second Lord was ahead of the enemy, and has already planned everything properly. Meng Yao is very grateful."

Luo Qu said with a smile: "Human race's pursuers are coming soon, everyone hurry up and cross the river, it will take a lot of time for you to cross the bridge with your horses, you can throw away the horses, I have sent people to buy three hundred horses from the spirit race , have been waiting for you on the other side for a long time."

Meng Yao and the others clasped their fists together and thanked Luo Qu: "Second Lord's kindness in saving me, I will remember it for the rest of my life, and I will definitely repay it in the future."

Luo Qu also clasped his fists and replied: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. There will be a period later."

After Meng Yao and others bid farewell to Luo Qu, they rushed to the river bank and passed the cable bridge one by one. When the last person passed, Meng Zhang cut off the cable bridge with a knife, and the huge cable bridge fell into the river with a crash. Splashes of water.

The human army behind them had already reached the river. Seeing that the cable bridge was cut off by Meng Zhang and could not cross the river, they were impatient and angry, and yelled at Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang looked at the panic-stricken appearance of the human army and smiled slightly, ignored them, turned around and took one of the horses that Luo Qu had prepared, and galloped away with the others.

When Lin Hao learned that the Meng clan had escaped, she came to the bank cursing and just watched Meng Zhang drive away, and was furious for a while.

He had some resentment in his heart, walked quickly to Luo Qu's side, and complained: "What the second master did violated the faith, right?"

Luo Qu pretended to be surprised, and said with an innocent face: "What did Mr. Lin say? Luo didn't know that there would be a rope bridge here. Luo took them in but then expelled them. It's against morality. If they cross the bridge, Luo can't stop them, right?"

Lin Hao knew that Luo Qu was playing tricks, but couldn't find evidence, so he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, when he saw the men beside Luo Qu, he said firmly, "These people are all from Guyun City? This cable bridge must have been built by them, could it be that the second master has nothing to do with this matter?"

Luo Qu smiled, and said: "These people are indeed from my Guyun City, but how do you prove that this cable bridge was built by them? Could it be based on the mud on their bodies?"

Lin Hao said reluctantly: "Second Master didn't bring these people with him when he came, so these people must have been here before. If they didn't come here in advance to build the cable bridge, what is it?"

Luo Qu didn't panic at all, and said with a smile: "The army of the Spirit Race wants to take something from me. It just so happens that this thing is nearby. These people were all sent by me a few days ago to look for it."

Lin Hao heard the words and asked, "Oh? If that's the case, may I ask if the second master can give the things to the old man for review?"

Luo Qu smiled, and said, "Does Master Lin dare to look at things from the Spirit Race?"

After he finished speaking, he pointed to Liu Bao and said to Lin Hao: "This is General Liu Bao under the seat of the Dragon Sage King of the Spirit Tribe, one of the nine generals in Qianyuan. Master Lin must have heard of his reputation. If you don't believe me You can ask General Liu about what Luo said, I am out of the Spirit Clan, and the Spirit Clan is at odds with the Spirit Clan, and I will never collude with General Liu to let the Human Race commit another crime."

Liu Bao nodded when he heard the words, and said: "This general is Liu Bao, Luo Qu's words are true, if Mr. Lin can't even believe this general, he can go directly to Zhanlong Shengjun and tell the truth. It just so happens that the Sage King Zhanlong is just outside Guyun City."

After he finished speaking, he said in a threatening tone: "However, I will remind Master Liu that doubting this will be a trivial matter. If Master Lin suspects that the Spirit Clan intends to cover up the human race's repeat crimes, the situation will be serious. The covenant was damaged, Master Lin was afraid that he would not be able to bear the responsibility for that crime."

Lin Hao felt distressed. He didn't expect Liu Bao's identity. After knowing that this person was Liu Bao, he was already a little timid, and he was scared to death by Liu Bao's words. How dare he doubt Luo Qu, so he had to Flatteringly smiled and said: "Whatever you say, what you say, the old man naturally trusts the second master and General Liu."

When he saw the more than 200 horses left by Meng Yao and others, he couldn't vent his anger, so he pointed at those horses and said angrily, "Come on, kill all these horses and chop them into meat."

The soldiers were about to start, but Luo Qu suddenly said: "Meng clan stayed in Guyun City for a few days, and these horses were given to Guyun City as a reward before they left. Master Lin just killed them. Isn't it convenient?"

Lin Hao's face was gloomy, so she could only yell at the soldiers under her angrily, "Why are you still standing there? If you don't chase me, if you can't catch Meng Yao, I'll send you all to the border to work as coolies."

Luo Qu smiled, and said to the muddy men, "Brothers, take your horses and go back to the city!"

Lin Hao didn't dare to stop Luo Qu and the others, so she had to order the tribe's army to let them go, and watched Luo Qu and the others drive hundreds of horses away calmly.

The soldiers of the human race were also angry. Most of them were complaining that Lin Hao was servile and cowardly. If Meng Yao and Meng Zhang were around, they would never give in to the spirit race.

The soldiers dared not speak out. As soldiers, they could only obey military orders, and no one wanted to be accused of traitors and sinners, so they could only continue to listen to Lin Hao's orders. Enter the Spirit Clan through a different path and catch up with the Meng Clan.

Luo Qu laughed all the way back to Guyun City. In his memory, he hadn't done such an "extraordinary" thing for a long time.
