Chapter 153 Shui Ling Is Here Again
When He Lingchuan, Lieutenant Li and others approached, Captain Zhao had already picked up the head and shouted to all directions: "Eliminate all evil, and the bandit Lu will be executed!"
Decapitating the bandit leader of Woling Pass is a great achievement.
"Hey..."
Captain Zhao looked over: "What's the matter?"
"Lu Yao died so easily, it was really a bargain for him." He Lingchuan scratched his head. This Captain Zhao was really good at competing for credit. Alas, no one competed with him.
The few bandits Lu who were left in the field immediately fled for their lives and could no longer cause any trouble.
He Lingchuan felt a burst of heat in his neck.
The God Bone Necklace was actually doing evil again at this time?
It was like this in the Immortal Cave this morning, and then it drilled into the ground and did something unknown, which ended up collapsing the entire cave.
What good things has it found now? He Lingchuan was refreshed and tried to walk a few steps away.
The farther he walked, the hotter the God Bone became, as if it wanted to yell at him to turn back.
Why are you running? There is a treasure here!
He pretended to chase the bandits with a knife, walked back and forth several times, and found that only when he stood close to Lu Yao's headless body, the divine bone necklace would be as quiet as before.
In other words, Lu Yao had something that the divine bone coveted?
He Lingchuan's eyes rolled, and he squatted down and fumbled around on the corpse. He took all the things in Lu Yao's arms, whether they were useful or not; the ogre was wearing two rings on his hands, and He Lingchuan had no time to tell whether they were storage spaces, so he took them off and put them on his own hands.
He had done this job a lot today, and now he was very familiar with it. He finished it in a few seconds, and others didn't even have time to stop him.
Zhao Qinghe coughed twice on the side: "Young Master, Captain Zhao is watching you."
He started picking up corpses before the battle was over. The young master's behavior was too outrageous, and he was a little embarrassed.
He Lingchuan could feel Captain Zhao's displeasure and contemptuous eyes without looking up.
Looting treasures from the big boss was supposed to be a benefit for the officers and soldiers of Zhechongfu, but unexpectedly, this kid got the first prize. If he wasn't the son of the foreign chief steward, Captain Zhao would have slapped him twice.
He Lingchuan grabbed it a few times and stood up and walked away. Fortunately, the divine bone necklace finally stopped heating up this time.
This proved that the thing it had targeted had fallen into He Lingchuan's hands.
At this moment, the winner was decided, and Pei Xinyong and the officers and soldiers gradually stopped.
The officers and the thieves looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes.
Lian Deng ran over, and Pei Xinyong asked directly, raising his voice three degrees: "Is this the reinforcement you mentioned?"
Lian Deng had to tell the truth: "General Wu was rescued by the officers and soldiers, and he and the Crocodile God accepted the amnesty together!"
He smiled bitterly, "From now on, we will eat public grain."
Pei Xinyong took a breath, feeling that this world was too fantasy.
Last night, Wu Shaoyi and the intelligence from the front line told him that it was Lu Yao who was recruited by the Yuan Wang Court. Why did the tone change today? Instead, it was Wu Shaoyi who was going to eat the government food?
What happened in the past few hours, or did Wu Shaoyi rebel long ago?
But Captain Zhao's attitude was still quite arrogant. He raised his head and asked him: "Pei Xinyong, will you surrender?"
At this time, the mist had dissipated, and Pei Xinyong also saw that the number of officers and soldiers was about a thousand, which was not as many as his own. The problem was that Wu Shaoyi's old subordinates who were recalled by Lian Deng were also on the side of the officers and soldiers.
The number of people on both sides was not much different, not to mention that Pei Xinyong's left shoulder was disabled, and every movement was painful.
The atmosphere was quite subtle.
He Lingchuan stepped forward and coughed hard: "There are still remnants of Lu Yao in Desheng Town, and the surrendered general Wu Shaoyi is fighting hard there. How about we put aside the dispute and go to suppress the bandits first?"
Captain Zhao had no objection.
Pei Xinyong hesitated and nodded.
So the three armies drove together and rushed to Desheng Town.
On the way, Zhao Qinghe also found a sneaky shadow in the grove on the side of the road.
He winked, and several supporting soldiers rushed over on horseback.
There is nothing much to say next. Wu Shaoyi's troops were dealing with the Lu bandits in Desheng Town. The participation of officers and soldiers immediately pressed the scales of victory to their side. Some of the Lu bandits died and some escaped, but most of them dropped their weapons and became prisoners.
In the chaos, Pei Xinyong led his troops to pursue the fleeing bandits, but they chased farther and farther and soon disappeared.
He Lingchuan knew the result well; the two generals of Zhechongfu seemed too lazy to care and turned a blind eye.
Pei Xinyong's combat power is quite strong. They have already won a lot of credit today and don't want to create more trouble.
Anyway, this Pei bandit will not stay in the local area for a long time. Let the local officials worry about where they will go in the future.
After retaking Desheng Town, Captain Zhao left Lieutenant Li to deal with the captives, and then divided his troops to rush to Xianling Village in the east. He went to Qianteng Town with Wu Shaoyi, He Lingchuan and others.
The journey was finally smooth.
Soon, He Lingchuan met up with his own caravan.
He had previously sent Mao Tao back to report the news, and the He family was eagerly waiting.
The father and son were both overjoyed to meet.
He Chunhua stood out from the crowd, rode towards his son, grabbed his shoulder and shouted: "You kid, you kid!"
He was so excited that the rest of the words choked in his throat and he couldn't hold it out. His handsome face was swollen and red.
Seeing him like this, He Lingchuan was also moved and laughed: "Dad, I won't die so easily!"
This time He Chunhua automatically translated "hang" into "die", and gritted his teeth and said: "I knew you were a lucky general, with a big life, and you won't die even if you fall off a cliff!"
The rest of the crowd also gathered around and congratulated the eldest young master for escaping death and coming back intact.
Everyone looked closely at He Lingchuan. They saw many minor injuries but no major injuries. They all lamented what kind of luck this was. Others fell down and turned into meat, but he fell down with some luck and his face was not even disfigured.
The scene of father and son's reunion suddenly became joyous.
He Yue rushed up and hugged his brother's shoulders, laughing and saying, "You're back alive!"
When he pressed him, He Lingchuan made a hissing sound and grinned: "It hurts!"
There happened to be an ax wound on the shoulder, and the bleeding had stopped long ago. When He Yue pressed it, it opened again.
He Yue was startled, apologized quickly, and turned around to call the military doctor.
Mrs. Ying's eyes were a little moist, she looked at the eldest son and murmured: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
He Lingchuan grinned and showed his white teeth at her: "My mother is pregnant." Then he took out the mahogany mirror from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Ying, "Is this yours?"
Mrs. Ying was overjoyed, took it and rubbed it gently: "You snatched it back!"
Seeing her eldest son's face covered in blood, she couldn't help but gently lift the handkerchief and touch the blood that had seeped out from his forehead: "There is water in the car. Go and wash your face."
This action surprised He Chunhua, but He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Okay." He strode to the carriage and asked Qian's mother to scoop some water to wipe his face.
Then, He Yue called in the military doctor.
After a night of fierce fighting and running around during the day, he finally lay down on a soft brocade mattress. While the military doctor was treating the wound, He Lingchuan couldn't hold on and fell into a deep sleep.
But after the military doctor left, the sacred bone necklace He Lingchuan wore on his chest suddenly started to flash red again.
The light was very shallow and faint, and it only lasted for a few breaths, so no one noticed it.
However, the turtle egg hidden in He Lingchuan's arms suddenly moved.
…
He Lingchuan was sleeping soundly, and he seemed to hear an old voice in his daze:
"He Lingchuan, please bury the turtle eggs in the root hole under the tree when you pass by the resurrected old locust tree at Fengling Ferry."
This voice was very unfamiliar, and He Lingchuan felt strange: Who is it?
The other party seemed to be able to hear his voice, and said straightforwardly: "I am the water spirit of Xianling Lake. I wanted to find you in my dream, but I was turned away. No matter how hard I said it, even if I didn't mean any harm, I could only tell you after all the hard work. Come here with this spiritual thought. Hehe, it’s so difficult to even get close to your dream. I found the right person.”
Hey, is this guy the old turtle demon? He Lingchuan remembered that he seemed to have a life-threatening question to ask, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"You are the only person I calculated to be able to help my true body stay away from the crocodile demon, so I asked for your help." The voice said again, "But the bad omen I predicted is by no means a lie."
He Lingchuan wanted to ask, was he destined to die?
"There is no ending in this world called destiny." Shui Ling continued, "It's a pity that your fate is controlled by great power, and others can't test it at all. I barely managed a few verses, hoping to help you escape from the disaster of death as soon as possible. ”
Guessing riddles again? !
…
I don’t know how long it took, but He Lingchuan was shaken awake by He Yue: “We’re at the place, get off the car quickly!”
He sat up and muttered something. He Yue seemed to hear his brother muttering about "hidden clumsiness" and "false reality", and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, what are you reading?"
"I had a dream. There was an old man in the dream who kept nagging me, but he didn't say anything useful." He Lingchuan jumped out of the car while yawning, and found that the sky was full of stars and the evening breeze was blowing. He slept for at least two hours this time.
"Are we in Sento Town?"
"Qianteng Town has passed a long time ago. We are in Wuliu County. Qianteng Town is just a small town with more than 300 people. If the team wants to have good supplies, they have to come here." He Yue said with a smile, "Wuliu County Magistrate Send someone to send a message that they will hold a banquet at Hongtai Tower to calm the news for us. "
"Is Magistrate Wuliu so attentive?" He Lingchuan was startled, "He is really well-informed."
"Xianling Village, Qianteng Town, and Desheng Town, the locations of this incident all belong to Wuliu County." He Yue walked out with him, "The county magistrate has heard that the traitors have reunited here to massacre the village, and are chasing Wang Members of the imperial court are deeply shocked, so they would like to express their deepest condolences to us."
Does the royal official refer to the father? Hey, yes, He Chunhua has received a certificate of appointment. Legally, he is the general manager of Xiazhou, and he is indeed a local official.
The magistrate of Wuliu County should be diligent. Thinking of this, He Lingchuan stretched out happily and looked around: "Hey, there are so few people in the team?"
"The inn in the county is not small, and the squire provided two villages for us to stay for free. So many of us have settled in. Furthermore, the civilians in Xianling Village have left the team in Qianteng Town, and Wuliu County will follow Take over the settlement.”
