Chapter 1646: Will You Die If You Don’t Act Up?

Chapter 1646: Chapter 1646: Will You Die If You Don’t Act Up?

He must say these words, after all, Ma Da and the others are people from the Eagle Food Gang, and his identity cannot be exposed yet.

General Liang did not suspect him and nodded, saying, "I saw them from the tower, indeed they are worthy of being called heroes!"

No matter where these people came from or what their identities were, they saved Xing’an Prefecture once, and they saved him once.

Woosh woosh woosh!

In the distance, several armies were still fighting fiercely with the Rong soldiers. The sound of arrows flying, fire stones smashing, and weapons clashing continued to reach them.

Qin San Lang immediately said, "General Liang, the Rong people have not retreated yet, I must go to resist them, goodbye."

General Liang was eager for him to go and said, "Quickly, go!"

Niu Dabao said, "General Liang, I must go too, leave this main city gate to you."

"Alright, I await your triumphant return!" General Liang saw their high spirits, and even his blood boiled, wanting to follow and slay the Rong bandits.

But he is the garrison commander of Xing’an Prefecture, and this main city gate has a hole smashed open by the Rong soldiers. Since they still seem intent on attacking, he can’t risk leading troops out to fight, he must continue to defend the city.

However, General Liang said, "The danger of Xing’an Prefecture City being overrun has been resolved, I will assign three hundred soldiers to you, lead them to kill the Rong bandits!"

"Thank you, General!" Niu Dabao was very pleased and led the three hundred troops given by General Liang, following Qin San Lang to attack the Rong soldiers.

Qin San Lang was behind Niu Dabao by a distance and took the opportunity to instruct You Ping, "Go find Brother Luo."

Brother Luo was nowhere to be seen after killing Leimuqin, even though Qin San Lang went to find him.

Tuogude is not easy to deal with, Brother Luo is injured, and Qin San Lang is very worried about him.

"Yes." You Ping immediately rode off to find Luo Ying.

"Kill, kill the Rong bastards!" Niu Dabao shouted as he led his troops to charge forward, exhilarated beyond measure.

Busy killing the enemy, he hadn’t thought about how his older sons were doing.

Qin San Lang hurriedly led his soldiers at a gallop, soon catching up to Niu Dabao and his men, and said, "Uncle Niu, the Rong bandits have long-range arrows; we can’t blindly charge, lest we get riddled before reaching them."

Niu Dabao, though capable, had never fought such a major battle, and upon hearing this quickly said, "Quick, quick, stop for a moment, don’t charge blindly or we’ll end up like porcupines!"

The soldiers heard this and quickly halted.

Qin San Lang said, "Cavalry go first, focus on the Rong archers, eliminate them before engaging in close combat; shield soldiers follow to protect infantry from arrows; infantry rear to fight in close quarters!"

"Yes!" Zhang Tu rode with the He’an Prefecture’s military flag, conveying his orders.

The soldiers heard and quickly followed suit.

Cavalry led the charge, first targeting and killing a batch of the Rong archers at range, then continued to rush and collided with a group of Rong soldiers before engaging in combat.

General Cheng noticed the situation here, approvingly nodding at their effective fighting, but frowned at the persistent Rong soldiers.

The Rong soldiers were indeed more formidable than the soldiers of Great Chu; even as their royal general had been slain, they did not retreat but continued to battle.

Though the Rong soldiers were demotivated, their reinforcements had arrived overnight, exhausted, thus failing to gain any advantage, with casualties equally shared between both sides.

If this continues, the Rong people might narrowly win.

Luo Ying also noticed the situation, angrily wanting to kill, scolding, "A bunch of useless fools, how are they fighting? Leimuqin’s dead, and the Rong have no morale, yet they still can’t drive them back, were they dancing during training?...Cough cough cough, bleh!"

Scolding too fiercely, he coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood was somewhat blackened, making Doctor Lu furrow his brows and urgently say, "Lord Ying, you should take it easy for a while, any more of this and I truly can’t save you."

Lord Ghost also said, "Lord Ying, heed Doctor Lu’s advice, don’t get worked up."

Couldn’t help but scold, "Will you die if you don’t provoke? Knowing full well Tuogude is close to Da Rong’s Great Wizard, with lots of poison on him, yet you couldn’t control your mouth to mock him. Now, look, poisoned."

Luo Ying’s insides were in agony, yet he stubbornly said, "Just some minor poison, with Doctor Lu here, I’m sure I’ll be fine."

Also said, "I’m not courting death, it’s Tuogude’s beastly nature, resorting to poisons upon defeat... Bleh~"

Saying so he spat blood again.

Doctor Lu could hardly bear to look, "Lord Ying, hold your tongue, at this rate, you might be killed by vomiting blood instead of poison."

Saying one sentence and spitting one mouthful, even with thick blood, you can’t withstand it.

Lord Ghost, his eyes cold, glared at Luo Ying, "Shut up, speak again and I’ll tell your lady everything you’ve done outside!"

Luo Ying heard and was shocked, hastily said, "Alright, alright, I’ll stop... don’t tell Jiaojiao about the mess outside, she’s timid and cries easily, hard to comfort."

Jiaojiao is Luo Ying’s wife’s nickname, he loves calling her that.

Thinking of his wife, Luo Ying couldn’t help himself, extended a finger, and asked, "Any news of Jiaojiao? Did she give birth? Is she safe? Boy or girl?"

Originally, he was meant to rush home for the birth, but with Xing’an Prefecture surrounded, he stayed to help defend.

This delay surely made him miss Jiaojiao’s birthing.

Thinking of this, Luo Ying felt sad, remembering their first child... If that child had survived, it would be old enough to follow him and learn martial arts now.

Jiaojiao mourned for years over the loss of their first child.

Years later, when she became pregnant again, they were very cautious, but he was unable to be with her during childbirth.

Lord Ghost knew that Luo Ying and his wife had deep affection, childhood sweethearts with a fondness born of youth, having faced trials together, their bond grew stronger.

Seeing Luo Ying’s guilt-ridden face, softened, he sighed, "Don’t worry about your wife, Lord Ying, she is far more sensible and composed than you, she had already sent a letter in advance and told me to give it to you if you couldn’t make it back, so you wouldn’t fret."

See, even wrote a comforting letter, truly more reliable than you.

"Jiaojiao has a letter for me? Quickly give it!" Luo Ying was overjoyed yet slightly displeased, wondering why she entrusted the letter to this old ghost instead of delivering it directly.

In his excitement, he spat blood again.

Lord Ghost’s mouth twitched seeing this, Luo Ying truly... to prevent him from dying from spitting blood, Lord Ghost handed him a letter, "See for yourself."

Luo Ying hastily took it, opened the letter, and read it by torchlight... Jiaojiao is indeed the best wife in the world, so gentle and considerate.
