C79 (1/2)

Under the pincer attack from the Fire Phoenix Knight, the Moqiu Cavalry soldiers who were called ”riders” were quickly defeated, while the heavy armor soldiers who were prided themselves as the pride of the people from Moqiu could only barely defend themselves. They shrunk into a huge circular defensive formation, nervously observing the movements of the Fire Phoenix Cavalry through the gaps between their shields while slowly moving to the west along with the officer's command, in order to leave the battlefield safely and quickly.

At this time, the focus of the Fire Phoenix Knight was not on the heavy armor infantry, but rather, the three groups of heavy riders formed a circle, surrounding Xiu'er and the others in the center, and the group of people slowly retreated towards the Phoenix City Pass. In a battle on the plains, as long as the Fire Phoenix Knight did not want to fight, the heavy armor infantry would not be able to catch up to them even if they ran to their deaths.

With the pressure suddenly lessened, the cavalrymen finally let out a long breath. Fortunately, the other side only had the intention to break through the encirclement and did not intend to kill them all. Otherwise, the result would be hard to say. They did not bother to scold the ”Thick Shelled Turtles”, but instead turned their horses and headed towards the camp. They wanted to report this news to the Second Your Highness Tiger King as soon as possible.

Under the protection of the three Fire Phoenix Man-at-arms s, Xiu'er's journey successfully returned to the Phoenix City Pass s that had been there for a long time. The fortress was already filled with people who were holding torches and waiting for their triumphant return. Upon seeing this group of young Knights entering the pass, thunderous applause, cheers, and cheers practically flipped half of their Phoenix City Pass over.

The heavy riders tactfully left along with the outer city wall, leaving behind a small group of riders to help the returning expedition soldiers split up, allowing them to enjoy the glory alone.

Ignoring the pain from the wound on his shoulder, Qu Feizhi took off her helmet and waved it around excitedly. Beside his, young girls kept throwing flowers and handkerchiefs with their names embroidered on them to the handsome officer. Qu Feizhi's face flushed red, he continuously waved his hand towards the crowd, at the same time verifying that the owner of the handkerchief was as pretty as the words on it.

Chen Chu who had already taken off his helmet and mask at the side unintentionally or unintentionally touched Qu Feizhi's wound with his elbow. It was so painful that he grimaced in pain, turned his head and scolded Chen Chu softly, ”My god, are you here to avenge people from Moqiu?”

Chen Chu's cold voice came from behind the mask. ”Idiot! We escaped from prison that time, don't you know your Lord Kong's temper? ”It's a matter of merit, but it's a matter of course. Now that you're so arrogant, be careful not to get killed a hundred times more than I do.”

Chen Chu's words made everyone understand. When Qu Feizhi had left the camp on his own, he had burned more than half of the stone thrower's Moqiu Army and delayed its attack for a few days, but in the end, he still got beaten up like before. After he was done, Qu Feizhi was groaning in pain, but Kong Sheng still wrote down his work on the tent obediently. He requested for the rewards, and didn't delay him at all.

Kong Sheng had this kind of temperament. A contribution is a contribution, and a contribution is a reward. If a contribution is a reward, then a punishment.

Thinking up to here, Qu Feizhi completely withered away. He casually took off the helmet that was filled with fragrant flowers and handkerchief and put it back on his head, and asked listlessly: ”I say, where is Lord Xiu? Can you get her to plead for us? ”

Chen Chu's laughter was incomparably bitter: ”Lord Xiu? The number one contributor to the prison break, the one who ordered more than three hundred Red Camp Knight s to leave their camp behind the scenes, was in itself a criminal who had come out of the imperial city to fight ~ ~ ~ To put it bluntly, the Lord Xiu was more likely to die than the both of us ~ ~ ”

Hearing that, Qu Feizhi subconsciously used his gaze to look for Xiu'er. Ever since he entered the city, Xiu'er had been lagging behind the two of them listlessly, as if she wanted to use the bodies of the Knights to hide herself.

”What happened to Lord Xiu? She is not a person who fears death. ” Qu Feizhi doubtfully asked Chen Chu.

Chen Chu's voice was somewhat cold, ”When we entered the city, Lord Xiu was the last to enter, she said that she wanted to see how many brothers we have lost this time ~ ~”

This time, Qu Feizhi was completely silent, he had already started to blame himself, the cheers after entering the city had made him feel too proud, too unrestrained, and he had forgotten about his brothers who did not return. It was said that a general's achievements would only cause his bones to wither, but who would be so heartless? Even if there were ten thousand people who could use it, how many of them could actually turn it into a pile of dried up bones to make a name for themselves?

Thinking about that, Qu Feizhi subconsciously glanced at Chen Chu, and a thought floated in his mind: ”Maybe, this person can do it?” The helmet's cover covered Chen Chu's face completely, his expression could not be seen, the only thing revealed was a cold glint in his eyes.

The group advanced all the way to the plaza outside Castellan Mansion Gate. At that time, the current commander of Phoenix City Pass, Lord Kong Sheng, had already changed out of his heavy armor and was dressed in light armor with his hands behind his back. He stood behind Zhao Handong, and behind him was a group of officials and generals. The officer in charge of the Red Camp, Ling Zilu, was nowhere to be seen. Seeing Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi, Kong Sheng remained expressionless. Zhao Handong smiled bitterly, but that kind of official still waved his hand, as if welcoming the two future generals.

At this time, the Xiu'er had already rushed over from behind. Under her lead, the Fire Phoenix Expeditionary Army all dismounted, and bowed towards the group led by Kong Sheng as they shouted in unison, ”We pay our respects to the Lord Kong and the various Masters.”

The moment he lowered his head, Qu Feizhi noticed from the corner of his eyes that Kong Sheng had quietly turned his body to the side. Seeing this action, Qu Feizhi's heart turned cold again.
