Chapter 269
Dawn is about to break out.
Two uninvited guests came in front of the Northern Zhou army camp.
Xue Bao and Xue Pipi, one black and one white, stood a hundred feet away from the military camp, looking at the military camp not far away, and stopped.
The poisonous saint Xue Pipi said, "Doctors can cure diseases and save people. If you start a killing act, aren't you afraid of falling into the devil's way like me?"
Xue Bao's mouth showed a disdainful expression and said slowly, "At that time, the Yellow River broke its dam and the plague was flooding. I saved tens of thousands of people in Henan Prefecture in March, but I did not ascend to the immortal world. Now, the two armies are fighting, killing people is saving people. What's the fear of me? What's more, killing ten thousand people can save 10,000 people in Yinyang. This is a good deal."
Xue Pipi said, "Even so, do you really think that if you do killing, the people in Yinyang will think of your goodness?"
Xue Bao shook his head, "I killed people not for the people of Yinyang, but for the world. This world is sick."
This sentence made Xue Pipi feel a little puzzled.
Xue Bao looked at the mountain in the south and then said, "Whether the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, the world is slowly sliding into the abyss. If it is true as Lu Xuanji had expected, the way of heaven is coming and coming to the earth, these people will die sooner or later. I cannot ignore it, just treat it as returning the favor of Yuwen Tianlu."
Xue Pipi asked, "Do you really think his method is feasible?"
"Whether it is OK or not, someone has to do it, right?"
Xue Pipi looked at the elder brother of the same clan and didn't understand him. For the sake of the authentic medical saint, the two fought for most of their lives. He always thought about how to beat Xue Bao. Unexpectedly, Xue Bao's idea was far more than that. He could only sigh, "When it comes to killing people, maybe you are not as good as me, but if you show off, I can't stand it."
Whoosh!
Two sharp arrows shot at their feet. A team of Northern Zhou sentry discovered the figures of two people.
The leader shouted, "Who is? He went to the camp at night?"
Xue Pipi said, "Living person."
If there are living people, there are dead people. The Medical Saint, the Poison Saint is living people, so that group of sentries becomes dead people.
Xue Bao and Xue Pipi were standing side by side, like ghosts in the dark night, passing by the Northern Zhou camp side by side.
The sky is getting brighter.
Xue Pipi looked back at the North Zhou camp. Someone had noticed something strange in the military camp and started to mess around. Xue Pipi asked, "It's quite lively behind you. Don't you look back?"
Xue Bao continued to move forward and said, "Killing people is not saving people, what's there to see?" After that, he left the city with his medicine box on his back.
Xue Pipi smiled bitterly and followed.
In the Battle of Yinyang, Tuoba Niu people besieged the city by 100,000 troops. Although it was not a sure victory, it also had absolute certainty. On an inconspicuous morning, 20,000 Northern Zhou troops died inexplicably, becoming an unsolved mystery in this war.
Some people say that the Northern Zhou army offended the gods and caused punishment from the generals, but more of the saying is that the Lord of Yinyang City Zhao Lianjiang knew the magic of demons, which turned into a ghost in the middle of the night and took away the lives of these people. Later, people even demonized Zhao Lianjiang. This Lord of Yinyang City became a demon who could suck people's souls in the middle of the night.
No one knew that a few months ago, the Grand Governor Yuwen Tianlu found Xue Bao, Xue Pipi and the others, and locked them in a dry well for three days and three nights. He moved them with emotion and reason, and then persuaded them to take action in person.
...
Zhao Langjiang dragged his tired body back to the city lord's mansion. When he woke up, it was noon. Hearing cheers from outside, he soon Li Xianzhong pushed the door and entered.

"The Northern Zhou Dynasty withdrew its troops!"
Zhao Langjiang felt strange, "Retreat?"
"Today, our spies caught a Northern Zhou army and intercepted a letter from the Northern Zhou Regent to Tuoba Niu. The letter said that Dingbei King Xue Huai occupied Shenxiangou and the southern line of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was lost. Tuoba Niu must return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Zhao Langjiang felt very calm.
Yuwen Tianlu sacrificed tens of thousands of lives to the Western Army, planned a shocking situation, and used himself as bait to transfer Tuoba Niu people to Hengduan Mountain. All of this was as expected by Yuwen Tianlu.
What Zhao Langjiang had to do was to defend Yinyang City to the death, drag the Tuoba Niu people to buy time for the Northern Line Ding Beiwang.
Li Xianzhong said again, "We also received news that last night, 20,000 troops died inexplicably, which is probably one of the reasons why the Tuoba Niu people withdrew their troops."
Zhao Langjiang and Li Xianzhong came to the top of the city.
Five miles away, the Northern Zhou army began to draw the camp. At the front, there were 20,000 troops and horses in line to prepare for war to prevent the troops and horses in Yinyang City from attacking, and the rest of the troops were evacuating in an orderly manner. Tuoba Niu people were well versed in military affairs and would never make mistakes at such moments.
Li Yuanhu, one of the four commanders, took the initiative to fight, "The city lord, the Northern Zhou Dynasty withdrew its troops, and the last general is willing to lead three thousand troops out of the city to pursue!"
Zhao Langjiang said, “Wait.”
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Zhao Langjiang still disagreed, "As long as we defend Yinyang City, we will be the winners in this battle."
Li Yuanhu said angrily, "The six thousand brothers outside the city have not yet been cold. Do they need to avenge their revenge?"
Li Yuanhu's two cousins were previously captured by the Northern Zhou army and died under the city wall a few days ago. In the past few days, Li Yuanhu has been in a state of unstable mood and is determined to go out of the city to kill the enemy.
The chief of staff Chai Gongwang, who was standing by, didn't think so, and said, "Twenty thousand people died in the North Zhou camp outside the city last night. Isn't this considered revenge?"
Chai Gongwang was the chief of staff before. After appearing with several wild dignitaries last night, Zhao Langjiang did not express any objection. With his face, he consciously acted as chief of staff again.
Li Yuanhu couldn't stand him, "Where is this to take revenge?"
Mr. Chai looked at Zhao Langjiang, and a flattery came forward, "Last night, Lord Zhao showed his might and killed 20,000 Northern Zhou troops. Doesn't Commander Li know?"
Zhao Langjiang felt a little embarrassed, "I have been sleeping since I came back last night."
Chai Gongwang said again, "This is the city lord's power. I heard that the 20,000 Northern Zhou army died very peacefully. It must be that the city lord Zhao took away these people's souls in his sleep last night."
Li Yuanhu sneered, "Shapeful!"
Chai Gongwang felt that it was an opportunity. Yinyang City needed a hero, and he needed a new master to display his talents. He said: "Now the morale in the city is low. If this matter spreads throughout the city, the prestige of the city lord will definitely rise to a higher level!"
Li Xianzhong reminded, "Last night, the two seniors, Medical Saint, Poison Saint, appeared in Yinyang City. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the work of both of them."
"They haven't come back. No one knows who did it anyway, so that's what Zhao Cheng does."
"Don't forget, when they were talking, the doctors you looked for last night were also present."
Mr. Chai smiled and said, "They will definitely not go out to talk nonsense if they collect my money."
Zhao Langjiang said, "Nothing."
Mr. Chai bowed to the end, "As for orders! I will make arrangements now." After that, he ran down the city tower and went to find his team, preparing to publicize the matter.

In the Northern Zhou camp, the last group of soldiers began to retreat.
As the commander of the army, the Tuoba Niu people looked particularly dazzling among the last group of people. Before leaving, the Tuoba Niu people rode their horses to the city.
Everyone was about to shoot arrows, but Zhao Langjiang waved his hand to stop them. Tuoba Niu Ren was the God of War in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. With his cultivation level, these archers could not do anything to him.
Tuoba Niu said, "Lord Zhao, we can meet each other at least. Why not leave the city and drink a glass of water and wine, just say goodbye?"
Zhao Langjiang laughed, "Master Tuoba is so in great interest. He died last night and he is still in the mood to drink today. If it were me, he had already jumped into the river and committed suicide."
Tuoba Niu people disagree, "People cannot be resurrected when they die. If I don't drink, they will die. If I drink, they will die. Since the ending cannot be changed, why not drink a drink? If you really agree and leave the city, maybe I will have a chance to kill you."
Zhao Langjiang had guessed what he was thinking, and shook his head with a smile, saying, "I won't give you this opportunity. You are known as the undefeated God of War. After this battle, this undefeated title will probably be changed. It won't take long for the whole world and the whole world to know that you, Tuoba Niu, were defeated by Zhao Langjiang."
This sentence touched the pain points of Tuoba Niu people.
If he loses to Yuwen Tianlu, Tuoba Niu can still make sense, but if he loses to Zhao Langjiang, how can he survive in the future?
A person as outstanding as him should have lived a brilliant life.
Unexpectedly, his reputation for a lifetime was destroyed by the fact that it was once.
Tuoba Niu Ren understood that since the moment he left Shenxiangou and came to Hengduan Mountain, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had fallen into Yuwen Tianlu's trap.
He was unwilling to accept it, but the imperial court had issued an order. He wanted to take this opportunity to provoke Zhao Langjiang. With his knowledge of Zhao Langjiang's hot temper, he would inevitably not be able to withstand the stimulation. At that time, there would be a chance to fight.
If you kill Zhao Langjiang, you will have to leave with dignity even if you withdraw your troops.
Tuoba Niu said, "It was me who took the initiative to withdraw troops, but you didn't win. What's there to brag about?"
"The reason is not important. We look at the result. If you retreat, you will lose."
Tuoba Niu Ren was a little angry, dissatisfied, and cursed: "I have killed tens of thousands of you, but you are like the turtle named Xue, hiding behind the city and not daring to come out. If you spread it, you are not afraid of jokes from all over the world!"
Having said that, it was the turtle he said that now led tens of thousands of troops to attack Fenghuang Ridge and occupy Shenxiangou. Fortunately, it is autumn now and the cold season is approaching. Dingbei Army dared not go north rashly, otherwise Xue Huai would have led his army to advance.
Zhao Langjiang turned over and leaped, sat on a battlement, found a more comfortable position to sit down, and said, "You keep going, you have the ability to scold you for three days and three nights."
Li Xianzhong leaned into Zhao Langjiang's ear and said, "He is delaying time and the spies are paying back. The Northern Zhou army has retreated to Duantoupo and is about to cross the Chishui River."
After passing Chishui, they can return to the first-line sky and within three days, they can withdraw to the Northern Zhou territory. The Tuoba Niu people did this, seemingly venting their personal anger, but in fact they took great pains to retain their strength for the Northern Zhou army. "If you have the ability, you come down, I will fight you for three days and three nights."
After a while, Zhao Langjiang was hungry and some subordinates gave him a chicken leg. Zhao Langjiang took a bite and said with a smile: "I heard that you like to eat chicken leg. You have cleaned the chickens in a radius of dozens of miles?"
“So what?”
"I've been scolding for a long time, now I'm hungry?" Zhao Langjiang threw the chicken legs under the city, "Alas, come and eat!"
