Riding the Pheonix Chapter 426: Drink porridge
"What a pity."
Su Tu let go of the hanging knife and sighed.
The arrow missed the vital point, and Zong Xu was still able to mount his horse despite the injury, indicating that his life was not in danger.
"Where are the Snow Wolf Guards?" He turned around and asked, "How many of them can come back?"
The guard looked hesitant and then replied: "Maybe, half of them won't come back."
Su Tu nodded: "When we go back, we will reward their families. Boys of suitable age at home will be recruited into the Snow Wolf Guards as an exception."
"Yes!"
After Su Tu finished speaking, another guard shouted: "Khan, look!"
He turned around and saw a figure flying towards this side of the battlefield.
Su Tu narrowed his eyes and returned to the crossbow.
The two guards took action at the same time, and dozens of arrows were cocked.
This time the opponent was approaching quickly, so he didn't have to worry about the range. He looked at the mountain pair, pulled down the hanging knife, and shot out the rain of arrows.
If I didn’t kill Zong Xu, if I killed her, it wouldn’t be a loss!
Crossbow arrows were fired at her face. Mingwei was extremely calm at this moment. Her luck increased and she turned around in mid-air. Crossbow arrows passed by her side one after another.
Seeing that she didn't want to stop, Su Tu wound up the string again.
The distance between the two sides is already within a hundred feet.
The power of the crossbow arrows has also reached its extreme.
This time, Mingwei avoided most of the crossbow arrows, and she knocked several others away with her dagger.
Because the crossbow arrows were too powerful, after knocking away the last crossbow arrow, she swayed and had to stop and adjust.
From such a close distance, she could already see Su Tu under the moonlight.
Just as she was about to jump up, Ning Xiu arrived and gave her a tug: "Don't go! The other party has a heavy crossbow in hand. This is very dangerous."
Mingwei frowned, extremely unwilling, but rationally knew that Ning Xiu was right.
At this distance, the crossbow arrows are extremely powerful, and it is a heavy crossbow that can fire dozens of arrows at the same time. If it goes further, she may not be able to dodge them all.
Over there, Su Tu saw her stop and did not launch the crossbow again.
Because he knew that if Mingwei stopped approaching, it would be difficult to shoot her from this distance.
The two sides knew each other well and looked at each other from afar.
Su Tu stood up straight, looked at her with a half-smile, and said loudly: "Miss Ming, my previous invitation is still valid. Are you willing to change your mind?"
Mingwei looked at him coldly: "Sorry, I'm not interested in sleeping with you."
Su Tu was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't want to be a princess. We Hu people don't break many rules. You can be any official you want."
"Forget it, I don't want to go to court smelling like mutton."
Su Tuji looked pityful: "You are like this, I can't even think about opening up the net!"
Ming Wei said calmly: "It's not certain who will be open to whom!"
Su Tu smiled and nodded: "Well, since we are destined to be different travelers, I will not hold back any more when we meet next time."
Mingwei curled up his lips: "Me too. You must not be chopped down by others first."
At this point, everything has been said. The next time we meet, it will be life and death, and there will be no other choice.
Su Tu felt very sorry. Even though he hated her very much, he had never appreciated a person like this, even transcending gender.
"Then, goodbye. I believe this day will not be too far away."
After Su Tu finished speaking, he waved his hand. The guards stepped forward, raised their heavy crossbows, and retreated in an orderly manner.
Mingwei stood there, watching them slowly walk away until they could no longer be seen.
In the direction of the city gate, shouts of killing were everywhere. It was the most intense time.
Ning Xiu asked: "Shall we enter the city?"
Mingwei nodded: "It's a pity. Let him go this time. In a few days, he will lead the troops to attack us."
Ning Xiu said: "There is nothing we can do about it. In our current situation, we can only take down the gravel **** first, and we can't spare any manpower to chase him."
"Yeah."
Ning Xiu listened to her voice a little carelessly and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Mingwei came back to his senses: "Nothing."
There are too few chess pieces on our side! That's all, there will always be opportunities, there's no need to rush.
The siege did not stop until dawn.
Most of the enemies were wiped out, and a small number fled into the grassland. In such a cold weather, there is no food to be found in the grassland. Even if you manage to escape, you will die sooner or later.
Therefore, the Qi army did not send anyone to pursue them, but accelerated the cleaning of the battlefield and repaired various defensive facilities at the city gate.
They all know that taking back the gravel **** is only the first step, and the bigger test is yet to come.
Three months, they must stay here for three months before they can survive.
It wasn't until noon that Mingwei saw Yang Shu.
After a day and night of fighting, he just leaned against the wall and fell asleep randomly. The helmet has been taken off, but the armor on the body is still covered with blood.
Mingwei didn't wake him up and waved his hand for Ah Xuan to rest.
It was so cold that his hands were severely frozen.
Mingwei held his hand in her arms and knelt down beside him to watch over him.
Yang Shu didn't sleep for long. He woke up when the smell of the gruel being cooked by the gang leader came.
When he saw Mingwei, his first reaction was to smile, but he pulled at the wound and grinned in pain.
Ming Wei was amused by him: "Where did it hurt? I just slept like this, and I don't know the pain."
Yang Shu turned his head, pointed at his collar, and said in a begging tone: "Here, it hurts me to death."
Mingwei leaned over to take a look and said, "It's quite long. Fortunately, the bleeding has stopped. If it goes any higher, I won't cut your neck."
Yang Shu was dissatisfied: "You don't comfort me, but you are gloating about my misfortune. ~IndoMTL.com~ Where are you gloating about my misfortune? Isn't this telling the truth?"
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
After laughing, Mingwei asked him: "Are you happy?"
Yang Shu nodded: "Happy."
Mingwei suddenly straightened up and held him in her arms.
Yang Shu was startled for a moment and then smiled again.
The city after the war was full of blood and corpses, but what he experienced was happiness that he had never experienced before.
A Xuan came over with porridge: "Sir, Miss Ming, drink some porridge to warm yourself up first."
Yang Shu was interrupted: "...won't you choose another time?"
Do you know how to wink?
A Xuan looked innocent: "It's so cold, I'm worried that you're starving."
Bah! Everyone goes out to fight alone, but you are the only one with your family and hugging each other in front of so many people. Who doesn't look at you?
Mingwei smiled slightly and took the bowl of porridge: "You drink the porridge first. After you finish drinking, I will treat your wounds. With so many casualties, the military doctor will definitely be too busy."
Yang Shu was quickly comforted: "Okay." After looking at it, he pushed the bowl of porridge to her, "You drink first."
A Xuan reluctantly handed over another bowl: "I'll take it again."
You must be conscious when you are a follower...
Ah Xuan recited this in his mind several times, resisted the urge to strangle his master to death out of jealousy, and went back to serve the porridge again.
Mingwei looked at his back and asked: "Speaking of which, Ah Xuan is not young anymore, so you haven't thought about asking for a wife for him?"
Yang Shu disagreed: "I haven't even asked for a wife, so what's his hurry? There's no reason to rush me."
Mingwei: "..."
You will have no friends if you do this!
