Chapter 26: My Wife, My Daughter
Asi's ferociousness scared the people in the Elders' Pavilion so much that they wanted to retreat. Some elders even retreated again and again. After living a life of luxury for so many years, how could they still have the courage to fight?
"Old Deng, don't run away!" Ah Si chased after him with a big hammer. His bald head was very dazzling under the moonlight.
Just as he finished speaking, a large group of soldiers suddenly rushed out from the woods, holding all kinds of weapons and shouting to kill.
The shouts were so loud that even Liu Hu in the carriage was moved. It was obvious that this was a well-trained team. No one expected that the Zhou Kingdom would spend so much money.
"Change the formation to the Hundred Birds Formation." Zheng Peng saw the soldiers suddenly rushing out and after a brief hesitation, he immediately gave the order.
Zheng Peng originally used a long snake formation. As the name suggests, the entire team is in the shape of a snake. When stationary, it coils to facilitate defense. When moving, the snake body forms a line, and moves in a Z shape, with a wide range of activities. If the enemy enters when stationary, they will be entangled to death by the snake body; if they enter when moving, they will be drawn in and eventually strangled within the range of activities.
This formation has both offensive and defensive capabilities. From the formation, we can also see Zheng Peng's determination to annihilate the enemy.
But this kind of formation is afraid of being attacked at the weakest point. Now the enemy is attacking from a high position. Zheng Peng is afraid that Liu Hu will be in danger, so he immediately orders to change the formation.
When the deputy general next to him heard Zheng Peng's words, he immediately ran to the messenger to give orders.
Before Zheng Peng could continue to observe the situation on the battlefield, Liu Hu leaned out of the carriage and pulled Zheng Peng in, whispering, "If anything happens later, don't worry about me, retreat first."
Zheng Peng was puzzled. He clearly had the upper hand, so why did Liu Hu say this? "Boss, a mere 30,000 is no problem."
"You are wrong. Scholars don't use knives to kill people. This sneak attack was obviously aimed at me, not a gain or loss on the battlefield." Liu Hu narrowed his eyes, his eyes changing constantly.
First, they attacked with great fanfare, just to lure me out to fight the enemy, then they sent out the Elders' Pavilion to lure away Asi and others, and then used 30,000 soldiers to split up the 50,000 elite troops supporting Zheng Peng.
Liu Hu was somewhat puzzled. Who was this person who could understand his thoughts so thoroughly? He used such a cruel trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
As Liu Hu guessed, Luo Chenghui appeared beside the carriage without knowing when, and a hidden weapon flew straight into the carriage. Luo Fanchen raised his arm lightly and knocked the hidden weapon down directly, with a slight smile on his face, saying: "A stray dog dares to come and join in the fun?"
"Yes, I am a stray dog, so I was kicked out by the Luo family, right?" Luo Chenghui was not angry, but this sentence made Luo Fanchen angry . He didn't care too much, and exerted force on his feet and ran straight towards Luo Chenghui.
Luo Chenghui seemed to deliberately avoid fighting with his brother, and fought while retreating. Luo Fanchen knew it was a trap, but years of anger had already turned his rationality into nothingness, so he ignored it and chased after him.
Zheng Peng had been marching and fighting for many years. If he still couldn't see it, he would be a fool. Just as he was about to call Luo Fanchen back, Liu Hu stopped him and said, "Luo Chenghui is his inner demon. If you stop him, I'm afraid something will happen."
"But?" Zheng Peng hesitated to speak. Now he was the only one left in the carriage. His martial arts skills were enough to deal with ordinary people, but facing a master, it was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
As for the boss, I'm afraid even ordinary people can't beat him. I don't know why the boss is so leisurely.
"Boss, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?" Zheng Peng asked tentatively, somewhat unwilling to give up.
Liu Hu frowned and said solemnly, "No backup plan."
" They are clearly coming for me this time. If anything happens to me, go back to Mingyue Tower where you found me before and take Lan Xin and her daughter back to Lingnan as soon as possible. I'm afraid they will be implicated."
At such a critical moment, Liu Hu still thought of them, mother and daughter. Thinking of them, Liu Hu felt a little sad. He wanted to make amends, but he never thought that he would bring trouble to them, mother and daughter.
"Who are this mother and daughter?" Zheng Peng is a typical nerd. If this matter was not related to Liu Hu, he would not have brought his troops here.
"My wife of many years and my adopted daughter." Liu Hu said calmly, but Zheng Peng was stunned .
He has been pure and secluded all these years, and has never heard of any woman around him, but I never thought that he actually has a daughter.
"Boss..." Zheng Peng knew that once they encountered danger, Liu Hu would always stand in the front to protect his brothers from wind and rain. It would be difficult for others to change the decisions he made.
Even though Liu Hu has so many shortcomings, his martial arts are not as good as A Si, his wisdom is not as good as Wen Xuan, and he is not as good as himself in leading troops to fight, but Liu Hu is always the most protective of his shortcomings.
Just ask yourself, in the entire continent, is there any noble who would risk everything, even his life, for his brothers?
How could such a person not be loyal?
Liu Hu waved his hand, interrupting Zheng Peng's words, and continued: "It's still not too late to jump off the carriage now."
"No, boss, I won't leave." Even though he knew he didn't know martial arts, Zheng Peng still didn't want to leave Liu Hu.
He glanced at the youngest general of Daqian. If he had not followed him, perhaps he would be one of the four great generals now.
After all, it is not orthodox and is subject to too many restrictions.
"Haha, I didn't expect there were people around you." Xiao Leng's voice suddenly appeared outside the carriage. Judging from the footsteps, there were definitely quite a few people.
Zheng Peng placed his fingers on his sword, his eyes fixed on the door. He was a military general, and even though he didn't know martial arts, he still had a sword.
As he spoke, Xiao Leng directly lifted the door curtain and saw Liu Hu inside. He was so ecstatic that he could not hide his feelings.
As long as we kill the Grand Tutor, the orthodoxy of our Xiao family will be restored, and this country will still belong to our Xiao family.
"People are in the cauldron and I am the deer. If you want to take my life, just come in directly. Why bother to be mysterious outside?" Liu Hu's expression remained unchanged. He had experienced all kinds of storms, so how could he be afraid of Xiao Leng.
Zheng Peng's expression was different, and his fingers holding the hilt of the sword began to turn white, with veins bulging.
"Of course, the happiest thing in the world would be to kill you with my own hands." Xiao Leng was very proud at this time. He turned over and got on the carriage, followed by four or five guards.
Fortunately, Liu Hu’s carriage was big enough, and it didn’t seem crowded at all with so many people standing inside.
"I'm very curious, why do you know my whereabouts so well?" Liu Hu was still curious. It had only been a day since he came out of Shangjing, so why was Xiao Leng so familiar with him?
Is there really a spy inside?
This was the last thing Liu Hu wanted to think about. He treated his subordinates like brothers. If his subordinates treated him as a colonel, it would really dishearten him.
"Are you wondering in your heart who is the spy around you? Hahaha, you are going to die anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." Xiao Leng was so proud of himself that he couldn't help but forget himself, and shook his head.
