Chapter 49: Dark Clouds Destroy the City, Swords Like Snow
Amid the crackling sound of the candle wick burst, a few tiny sparks splashed out, like fireworks in the night sky, bringing out a few light smoke, swaying and landing on the desk.
A piece of black cotton cloth was placed in the center of the book, which looked a little ragged, as if it was torn off the soldier's clothes. On the cotton cloth was placed a piece of emerald green wooden sign, about one-third the size of a palm, and the whole was cloud-shaped, with a beautiful word "Yan" engraved on it.
"Oh, I'm still a little anxious." A gentle and serious voice sounded from behind the desk, "The wound on your arm was cut by Feng Shier when he attacked against each other, right?"
Guo Qi grabbed the emerald green wooden sign from the desk, threw it away casually, and put it back.
Liu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, had already recovered at this time, and his voice was no longer as weak as when he first entered the tent. He looked guilty and replied in a low voice: "Yes, as the commander said, because his subordinates were too impatient and thought they had grasped Feng Shier's flaws, so the last knife was to use all their strength to make the strike work. Who would have thought..."
Guo Qi slowly stood up, walked to Liu Yu, looked carefully at the wound on his arm, nodded slightly, and said, "This is human nature. No one wants to give up in vain. You don't have enough experience in fighting and don't have time to react. I guess the last knife must have been cut on the big tree behind Feng Shier, right?"
Liu Yu did not dare to look up, but his face showed admiration and replied in a deep voice: "The commander clearly saw Wanli, just as he saw with his own eyes. His subordinates did subconsciously want to kill Feng as the commander said... If he wanted to kill Feng Shier as soon as possible, he handed the long sword in his hand a few inches forward. Unexpectedly, the tip of the knife was embedded in a big tree and could not move."
Guo Qi smiled, turned around and sat down behind the desk, stared at Liu Yu curiously for a few glances, and then said, "You don't have to rush to flatter. Most experienced masters can tell such a mistake, and they basically won't make it. Feng Shier relies on his rich experience and bullies you for not cultivating true energy, so he dared to take a risk."
Speaking of this, Guo Qi suddenly stopped, looked at Liu Yu's arm, and continued, "Even so, I guess Feng Shier is not easy to survive? With your waist and arm strength, even if you don't have true energy, you can almost cut off half of his arm with one sword."
"Yes, the commander is like a god, and things are just as you said." Liu Yu still dared not look up, but his words were filled with sincere praise. "There is nothing else in my subordinates, just a few kilograms of cow's strength. Although Feng Shier avoided quickly, his subordinates also cut off the bones on his shoulders..."
Just as Liu Yu was about to continue talking, Han Yong stood up in time to interrupt him and said, "Liu Yu, don't brag about yourself, you are not afraid of embarrassment in front of the commander. If you are so powerful, why don't you avoid Feng Shier's counterattack?"
Liu Yu couldn't speak out immediately and looked at Han Yong with a smirk, but saw Han Yong wink at him and urged: "You guy, hurry up and report to the commander, Brother Li... Well, is there anything wrong with Young Master Niu?"
"Han Yong, help him up first." Guo Qi said lightly, "Go out to find something to sit, let him sit down and talk, and notify Xue Junhou by the way, and ask him to go to the town to find a doctor and come over to bandage the kid."
"Yes, commander." Han Yong responded in a deep voice.
Seeing that Liu Yu was seriously injured, Han Yong was extremely anxious, but Guo Qi kept asking questions, and Han Yong didn't dare to interrupt casually.
Now that I finally waited for this sentence, I immediately ran out and found a soldier to notify Xue Junhou. After I made a wooden pier from somewhere, I carried it into a large tent and put it aside. Then I helped Liu Yu to sit down and waited for the other party to continue talking.
Seeing Liu Yu's sweaty look, Han Yong felt a little uncomfortable and whispered: "You can bear it for a while, and Xue Junhou will send someone here soon. Mr. Li in the town is the best doctor within a radius of hundreds of miles. Your minor injury is absolutely no problem."
Liu Yu nodded, saying that he understood Guo Qi and Han Yong's mood, and then continued, "President and Brother Han are relieved. Young Master Niu is not seriously injured except for a few falls. Speaking of which, the leader and Brother Han may not believe it. The subordinates can save their lives, thanks to Young Master Niu..."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu didn't seem to know how to describe it. After swallowing his saliva, he continued to say: "It's thanks to Niu Shaoxia's alertness and... well, with the hidden weapon skills of his hand."
"Concealed weapon kung fu? This kid has hidden weapon on him? Why didn't I see it at all?" Han Yong was puzzled. If it weren't for Guo Qi's big tent, he would have grabbed Liu Yu's neck and forced him to say it out.
But Guo Qi knocked his forehead helplessly, as if he was a little amused and crying. He glanced at Han Yong with a curious face and said meaningfully: "Hidden weapon? Hehe, you are just giving him face. The so-called hidden weapon you mentioned must be the mud and donkey manure that kid grabbed from the ground casually, right?"
Liu Yu's face showed a look of embarrassment, but it was difficult to respond. Commander Guo was Niu Shaoxia's master, so he naturally said whatever he wanted to say to him. He was a little soldier and didn't dare to get involved at will.
"Commander, you mean, Brother Li... Well, when Young Master Niu saw that Brother Liu was in danger, he grabbed mud donkey manure from the ground and threw it around, and then Brother Liu took the opportunity to kill Feng Shier?" Han Yong no longer cared about outsiders present and asked Guo Qi with disbelief.
Guo Qi didn't think so, and nodded with a smile and said, "My nephew, Niu, is better than you guys. He knows that saving lives on the battlefield is the best. He has to use all the things that can be used, rather than having to hold a horizontal sword and spear to kill people."
Han Yong's mouth twitched for a moment, and he was still a little unbelievable. Feng Shier, who had experienced a bloody battle, was defeated by an inexplicable boy, plus a few lumps of mud and donkey manure. If he told this, wouldn't it be a joke among the tiger wingguard?
Liu Yu was a little excited, as if he had understood something from it, nodded at Han Yong, "Brother Han, although what you said is not completely correct, it is almost the same. Brother, after my right hand was cut, I naturally couldn't use a knife anymore. Just when Feng Shier wanted to come forward to kill me, Young Master Niu threw a few lumps in time... Hehe, a few lumps of mud and donkey manure..."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu took a breath and thought, "At that time, Feng Shier seemed to hesitate for a moment. He must have been considering avoiding donkey dung first, or killing me without hesitation. As a result, at this moment, a piece of donkey dung in it happened to hit Feng Shier's face, covering his eyes, and I took the opportunity to pounce over and pinch Feng Shier's throat with my hands..."
"This is really lucky." Han Yong couldn't help but sigh, "If Feng Shier hadn't been injured in his right leg and was inconvenient to dodge, he would also have to be wary of you. No matter how much this kid throws, he would probably not be able to hit Feng Shier's face, right?"
Liu Yu showed a dissatisfied expression on his face, as if he was a little disagreeing with Han Yong's words. After all, his life was saved by the young man Niu, and the two of them could barely be considered a relationship of life and death, so naturally they did not want others to look down on him.
He said immediately: "That's not what he said. In that case, Young Master Niu still refused to escape alone. He could think of this method, which is enough to show that Young Master Niu is a person who values love and righteousness, and is also an extremely intelligent person. How can he be said to be purely luck?"
Then he recalled the scene when Li Mu just patted each other on the shoulders without saying anything before leaving, and Liu Yu's heart was even more upset. This act of being silent really made Liu Yu feel a little touched by Li Mu like a confidant.
Liu Yu felt that he was very necessary, so he said a few words for the Niu Shaoxia, and then thought about it again: "The cold wind rustled the clear autumn moon, and the dark clouds destroyed the city like snow. These are the last two words that Niu Shaoxia said before leaving. I think it is very appropriate, and it also shows that Niu Shaoxia is a knowledgeable person..."
Guo Qi was a little amused and cried. He glanced at Liu Yu, who was full of dissatisfaction, and interrupted, "You don't have to put gilds on his face. I can still see how much this kid is, but he has not escaped alone at such a critical moment. But this guy is not a scholar from the Imperial College. What's the matter if he said a few sour sentences for no reason?"
Liu Yu immediately did not dare to speak and glared at Han Yong hatefully.
Guo Qi ignored the nonsense between his subordinates and sighed and whispered to himself: "Junior Sister Yan, Junior Sister Yan, you have taken a look away this time. This kid looks tired and lazy. If no one is good enough, I really don't know how much trouble you will cause."
Although Han Yong and Liu Yu were extremely curious, they did not dare to respond. They could only stare at their eyes and secretly guess who "Junior Sister Yan" in Commander Guo's mouth was.
"Fighting in the same room, hehe, fighting in the same room!" Guo Qi seemed to be uninterested in explaining to the two of them. He patted the wooden sign with his hand and sighed, "You Yunyan Valley just like fighting in the same room, whether you know each other, whether you don't know each other, or whether you are old or small, hehe..."
After saying this, Guo Qi was silent for a moment, then looked up and smiled bitterly, "I don't know what happened these two days. I always like to sigh at some things, maybe I'm old."
This was originally meant for Han Yong to listen to, and Han Yong could naturally understand the meaning of it. However, Liu Yu did not understand the story, but after listening to it, he was extremely moved. If Han Yong had not pressed his shoulder beside him, he would have stood there and knelt before the desk again.
Commander Guo was able to say such feelings in front of him, so he naturally regarded himself as a confidant. If he didn't show his loyalty at this time, wouldn't he have lost his head in vain?
Guo Qi seemed to notice the strange appearance of the two, but he didn't care. He said to Liu Yu with some teasing tone: "Since my nephew Niu has sworn in my personality, Guo Qi, to protect you and your family, I don't want to break my trust. This is better, Han Yong, wait and tell the Marquis Xue Jun. From today on, Liu Yu will be transferred to Longxiang Guard and temporarily be assigned to the team of soldiers you command."
After saying this, Guo Qi frowned and thought for a while, and continued in a deep voice: "As for the safety of your family, I will let Feng Yi understand what he did wrong today, and will let him understand that my Longxiang Guard's troops cannot be moved by anyone who wants to move."
Liu Yu was suddenly overjoyed. This was what he wanted to be most eagerly in his heart and the greatest motivation for him to disobey Feng Shier's orders. If it weren't for the fact that after killing Li Mu, Guo Qi would eventually find out, and Feng Yi might have killed someone and silenced him as a scapegoat as Li Mu said. It would be a very difficult thing to make a soldier violate his boss's orders.
Seeing that Liu Yu wanted to stand up and kneel down again, Guo Qi waved his hand and said to Han Yong: "Han Yong, you can help Liu Yu to rest now. After making arrangements, you will come back here immediately. I have something to tell you."
“Yes, commander.”
"Thank you, the commander."
Han Yong and Liu Yu bowed to answer at the same time, and then Liu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead. With Han Yong's support, he walked out with an excited look on his face.
