Chapter 235 Shadow complains, the war ends
Shadow never chooses a time to take revenge.
Just as the inner guards had arranged to bury their dead brothers, Shadow immediately came to the outskirts of the battlefield. He first glanced at the war scene that was about to end, and found that the rebels had corpses all over the ground, with only one or two thousand people left. Then he came to the horses of Li Cunxi, Wu Yanhao and Xiao Qingfang.
After brewing his emotions for a while, Shadow fell to his knees with a thud.
"Great leader, it's bad. A group of people came secretly and killed nearly a hundred of our brothers!"
Nearly one hundred internal guards were lost, which is not a small number. You should know that in the Bleeding Eagle case that happened a few days ago, only about one hundred internal guards were lost.
Today, the internal guards didn't even participate in the encirclement and suppression campaign, yet more than a hundred of them were killed.
How to explain this to Wu Zetian later is also a big problem.
Xiao Qingfang frowned and asked coldly:
"Who are the opponents? What are they wearing? Have they introduced themselves? What is their purpose? Are they helping the rebels or doing something else?"
Shadow said helplessly:
"Reporting to the Grand Lord, the other party did not introduce themselves, and we don't know who they are, let alone what their purpose is. We don't know whether they are going to help the rebels or what they want to do. I only know that they are wearing purple clothes and purple feather crowns on their heads. The six leaders are holding various weapons in their hands, and one of them is holding a long-handled knife."
"I discovered them while they were sneaking in the mountains. Perhaps they thought we were targeting them, so they chose to retreat. I used the terrain advantage to block them, but they killed every one of us. More than a hundred of our brothers, in the end, nearly a hundred were killed or injured."
"The other side had a similar number of people as us, but only suffered more than 30 casualties. The leader didn't want to fight anymore, so he fled with the bodies of his own people and headed towards Ruzhou."
Xiao Qingfang calmed down in an instant. She squinted her eyes and began to think about what kind of force in the world could defeat the inner guards on such a large scale.
The people who followed Shadow this time were all internal guards who possessed superior light skills. In the martial arts world, they would be killers. With more than a hundred of them facing the enemy, nearly a hundred of them were killed. One can imagine how powerful the enemy is.
Such a group of people could never be anti-military forces, nor could they be members of some unknown force.
The other person was wearing purple clothes and a purple feather crown on his head. It seemed that there was only one group of people like him in the world.
"Alright, it's alright, I know about this matter... If I'm not mistaken, this must be the legendary Iron Hand Group. It's ok for these rebels to seek death, but they dare to get involved with the Iron Hand Group."
Xiao Qingfang closed her eyes and spoke in a heavy tone.
"Shadow, go back."
Li Cunxi, who was sitting on the horse, finally became serious and looked at the shadow from top to bottom.
Shadow, one of the six snake heads among the snake spirits, is known as the dynamic spirit. He has unparalleled lightness skills and was able to escape death from Li Yuanfang's hands.
In terms of martial arts skills, Yingzi may not be first-rate, but when it comes to attainments in lightness skills, it seems that there are not many people in this world who can catch up with Yingzi.
The killers from the Iron Hand Group are really wild enough to dare to fight with Shadow.
However, Li Cunxi was also very curious about what the Iron Hand Group was doing here.
Just as he was wondering, the shouting and killing sounds on the battlefield gradually disappeared. Li Cunxi looked up suddenly and saw that all the rebels outside Enjizhuang had surrendered, and not a single one was left alive.
Su Honghui stood at the entrance of Enji Village with his head held high, looking in the direction of Li Cunxi... No, not in the direction of Li Cunxi, but in the direction of Xiao Qingfang who was frowning. It was impossible to see their expressions clearly when they looked at each other from a distance, but they stared at each other for a long time before Su Honghui waved his hand and ordered the soldiers of the Right Guard to clean up the battlefield.
The finishing work is definitely not what the Ironclad Army should do. Li Cunxi rode over, stopped beside Su Honghui, clasped his fists and said:
"I am Li Cunxi, your humble servant. Thank you very much, General. Please tell the general Su that I owe him a huge favor this time. In the future, whenever the general needs you, please find me, Li Cunxi!"
Su Honghui nodded indifferently and glanced at Xiao Qingfang who was riding over on horseback.
"The battle here is over, sir, please continue with your investigation."
Li Cunxi clasped his fists and saluted, then he mounted his horse, turned to Xiao Qingfang, and said:
"General Xiao, you take the Iron Armored Army and the Internal Guard back to Luoyang to report to His Majesty about the Iron Hand Group you mentioned. I will take some people to find General Hu and General Li."
Xiao Qingfang nodded and waved towards the distant mountains and forests, and the inner guards hidden in the mountains and forests came out one after another.
Fenghuang and You Huan asked their subordinates to wait outside and then came over here.
"I will take you back to Luoyang soon, but Master Li and Master Wu still need to investigate the case. There are still the Iron Hands hiding in the shadows in the mountains, so I have decided that Fenghuang will take some of the inner guards to protect the safety of Master Li and Master Wu and obey the orders of the two masters."
"As you command! Grand Lord, please rest assured that I will definitely protect you two adults!"
"Okay, Phoenix, I'll leave the safety of those two adults to you."
A fiery red light was already appearing on the horizon. Li Cunxi listened to Xiao Qingfang's teachings to Fenghuang and turned back to look at the assembled armored troops.
The five commanders of the Armored Army organized their troops and ordered the soldiers to finish off the corpses on the ground, fearing that a half-dead person would suddenly emerge from one of the corpses.
"My Lords, where are we going now?"
Fenghuang sent Xiao Qingfang and You Huan away, and then came to Li Cunxi.
"Let's go to another battlefield. General Hu and General Li are fighting over there with the Qianniu Guards."
Li Cunxi wiped the non-existent beads of sweat from his head.
"However, we still need the Phoenix Pavilion to lead the way."
"Yes, my lord!"
……
“Qi Hai, isn’t it a bad idea to bury the brothers’ bodies here? After all, the brothers are also…”
"It can be considered a worthy death? Third Brother, can you even say this? We came here to assassinate Li Cunxi, but God knows that not only did we fail to assassinate Li Cunxi, but we also encountered the inner guards."
In a ravine, the Iron Hand assassination squad, with only eighty-three people left, were burying their dead brothers.
In the battle with the Internal Guards, the Iron Hand Regiment's assassination squad lost a total of thirty-six people. When they were retreating here, a seriously injured brother died on the spot and fell to the ground and never got up again.
When they left Yangzhou, there were forty people at first, and then eighty people, making a total of one hundred and twenty people to face a neatly organized enemy. The first attack was a desperate fight with the inner guards, and so many people died in the end.
It's really unpredictable.
"Qi Hai." Bao Chong said with a bitter face, "You know the temper of the sect leader. Even though he said he would not punish us if we fail, if we fail to complete the mission and lose so many brothers, it would be a small matter if we return with broken hands and feet!"
