The real girl finally breathed a sigh of relief and paid attention to the current predicament. She was a little puzzled and said, "Just now... Sister Jingyu came to save us. How can we save her
Without waiting for Hate Cloud to speak, amidst the rugged mountains to the north, the roaring sound of water answered everything.
In the stunned eyes of the allied soldiers, countless rainwater slid down the watershed, converged and merged into the valley, turned into a flash flood, and finally rushed over
Everyone looked at the magma in surprise, the scene of being submerged by the flood... There were constant small-scale explosions, but the magma quickly cooled down under the rushing water of Bingliang Mountain
The three armies cheered, filled with the joy of surviving the disaster. Only a few Taoist priests frowned and said, "Just intercept the rainfall without permission. If it causes floods in this county, it would be a violation of the heavenly rules
The identity of heaven and man is different
It mainly depends on the degree of flooding. The people in the north of the county have already relocated to the county seat. As long as they are confined to the north of the county, they cannot flood many households, and the winter wheat in the fields has not yet sprouted
Actually, offsetting the harm of magma is also a contribution, and it still depends on the degree of mastery when it comes to pulling it up
Cao Baijing listened to the whispers of these temporary subordinates, making her feel relieved about her husband's condition and excited about his future.
The young sorcerer was on edge for a long time, but in just a moment, the flood had reduced significantly and quickly stopped. This level of anxiety would not result in flooding.
This was somewhat unexpected, but it was reasonable, which relieved the knowledgeable Taoist priests and a few senior family members in this county
This feeling of relief surprises some people, some like it, and some don't.
The snow-white dragon shadow in the sky flashed through the thick black clouds.
The magma didn't erupt much, and although it hasn't completely cooled down yet, it won't continue to erupt. You can find your way back, "Ye Qing stood up, observed, and ordered," Let's withdraw
Yes! With this command, the rest naturally does not require Ye Qing to personally command.
So, except for leaving a small team of soldiers to prepare for water retreat supervision, everyone else gradually found a relatively feasible path and headed southeast in a continuous stream. Along the way, some people couldn't help but look back at the thick smoke filled valley.
It's hard to imagine that they could survive such a dangerous war under the leadership of Second Rank Duke.
Arriving at a place, even boarding a prepared raft, the difficult road sank at the bottom of the boat, the mountains quickly retreated, and the tension, war, and noise of the past few days faded away
As if the smoke of gunpowder was washed away in the rain, the same mountains and waters fell into the eyes of this group of post-war soldiers, giving them a sense of confusion and unreality.
Should we have won, right? We
Pinch me and see if I'm still alive... ah
Hand heavy, hand heavy, hehe
The drifting in the dim rain felt like it was both short and long, until nightfall when one raft after another arrived at their destination and made a dull sound. They ran aground on this relatively high terrain, and the returning soldiers couldn't wait to climb up to the shore... Of course, they didn't forget to line up.
Everyone spontaneously gathered under the banner of the Blackwater Army, which taught them on the brutal battlefield that in the face of evil spirits, only this flag can truly protect them, and also gather their scattered strength to vent their fear, anger, and hatred.
At this moment, Ye Qing walked off the raft with the help of Qianqian, gathered his subordinates to briefly understand the situation, and heard cheers from the mansion.
The gate opened with a loud bang, and dozens of people rushed out to welcome the triumph.
At this point, some subtle differences were noticed, and the fastest reaction was from the Ye Qing lineage. Zhou Feng accompanied the security patrol in the village, while Lv Shangjing led the various officials in front.
L ü Shangjing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am delighted to see the Lord safely return. Some scattered thieves attacked my home and were repelled. There is nothing at home, and I will not disrespect the Lord's command
Well, you've worked hard too. There's no need to be polite. It's just that there are still many things to do now, such as dealing with casualties, repairing supplies, dealing with the aftermath of the war, negotiating alliances, and even being busier than fighting in counties, counties, and states. You need to be mentally prepared, "Ye Qing said weakly, with a cheerful tone.
In the vast and chaotic world, war can best exercise the internal and external strength of a group. With just a vulnerable small maze formation, they were able to hold on to the Ye family without escaping. Regardless of the reasons or concerns, it has already demonstrated their loyalty to some extent.
Let Ye Qing have more confidence in the more brutal disasters and wars that will follow.
Ye Qing felt satisfied and joyful in her heart, propping up her illness and scanning one by one, saying, "You're doing well
When his gaze swept over Diao Chan, he was startled by her sparkling eyes and felt a hint of joy hidden in her calmness. He nodded slightly to her and said, "You, Zinan... are all doing well
After this vague sentence, Ye Qing wrapped herself in a blanket and ordered a bonfire to be lit in the open space in front of the village. He also asked Jiang Chen to be responsible for gathering the coalition forces and counting the casualties.
The coalition forces have not disbanded yet, and counting alone does not consume much time. Preliminary statistics show that 500, or 15%, were killed in action, and the number of injured needs to be more detailed.
Jiang Chen leaned in and whispered, "The casualties were mostly from the Allied forces, all of whom were new recruits... There were basically no casualties in the training layer, most of whom were Taoist soldiers on the Jinyu Pavilion... Shui soldiers
He paused for a moment and said firmly, "There were still many casualties, with over a dozen killed on the spot and more than twenty severely injured
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing nodded and said, "These aquatic soldiers were summoned by the immortals to go to war, and it was ultimately for me. I directly asked the Sword Immortal to change the summoning period... I will give them an explanation
Who cares about your confession? "Snorted someone in the divine sense
Ye Qing looked back and saw that on the top of the mountain behind the mansion, the Jinyu Pavilion was temporarily stationed here to guard. The golden veil on the third floor was lowered, covering her two bright eyes... Startled by the rain, she returned safely, which made Ye Qing breathe a sigh of relief and sink again for their feelings.
How can this beauty repay her kindness?
Even if it's not possible to fully repay, at least we can't make it difficult for them to do it. We still need to show our willingness to interfere with precipitation, and the Heavenly Court still has one more level to pass
Ye Qing communicated with the two dragon girls, withdrew his gaze, and spoke loudly to the entire army. His words were simple, but the environment was even worse, which caused everyone to cheer.
Military morale, reputation, influence... all reached their peak after this series of victories.
Ye Qing even had a vague understanding that if he seized military power at this moment and wielded the power of victory, he could easily quell the resistance of various factions.
Thinking this way, Ye Qing looked back during the speech and saw that the heads of each household had abnormal expressions, which made Ye Qing laugh.
What are you laughing at, young master? "Qianqian whispered.
Ye Qing responded with his divine sense, "I had a plan before to seize military power by suppressing evil demons. Now that I have the confidence that everyone expects, there is no need to make the work so rough
Confidence
Ye Qing held her hand and said, "My little Qianqian is already a real person, more than enough to protect her husband
Qianqian blushed, even though she was accustomed to standing up to protect her master since childhood, she never felt that this would be "protecting" her own son. The feeling of shame and joy made her somewhat speechless.
Ye Qing quickly issued the order to disband the coalition army, and the commander's flag was lowered. It needs to be taken into the outer ancestral hall for worship, restoration, and maintenance.
The lords exchanged a glance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief... It's always a matter of anxiety when military power is held by others.
Lu Ming was well aware that this was a statement and smiled as he talked to Ye Qing about the follow-up disaster relief.
Most of the soldiers of the coalition army are rushing north into the military camp, with prepared hot soup, meat and alcohol, trauma doctors, and clean hospital beds waiting for them. The news of safety may be quickly transmitted to their families or delayed, but as long as they return safely, they can reunite and see each other tomorrow.
A small number of Ye family guards followed closely into the mansion. Although their duties were still ongoing, like their lord, seeing familiar clan members, wives, and daughters brought warmth and comfort to their hearts.
My family really needs to rest for a period of time, including the coalition army. These new seeds have just sprouted, and growth requires resources and time
Ye Qing thought this way and heard a rush of footsteps.
Qing'er, Qing'er, you're injured! "Uncle Ye Zifan rushed over upon hearing the news.
Ye Qing, who was speaking, was taken aback for a moment and quickly got up with a smile. "Uncle, don't worry, it's just a minor injury. I received some vibration, so I just need to rest for a few days
Looking around, Ye Zifan saw that his nephew's face was a bit pale, but it didn't matter. Then a smile appeared on his face: "You are the ruler of my Ye family, and you are related to our family's fortune. Don't be careless
Speaking, he waved his hand to move aside, followed by more family members from the mansion and continuous greetings.
Ye Qing struggled to cope with her illness seriously, holding onto her cute little niece and teasing her during the banquet. She spoke and laughed as usual, without any trace of the fireworks on the battlefield
After drinking until slightly smoked, it was already very late when I returned to my temporary residence in Lanyuan.
The lanterns were lit with joy all the way, passing through rockeries and bamboo forests, feeling that the rain was gradually decreasing and the ground was slippery. Qianqian and Cao Baijing helped him back, and when they saw no one around, they felt both heartbroken and complaining, "I don't know how to take care of my body
There's no other way, it's like this after the war... if the patrol arrangement goes on... okay, madam, don't look at me like this, I will definitely cherish it next time
Hmph, my husband will change the topic
My cousin is right. I won't believe what the young master says in the future
Upon hearing these words, Ye Qing smiled and looked back to see the magnificent lights of Ye's mansion, the fragrance of wine and meat, the laughter and cheers, and the sleepless nights of everyone... Amidst the hustle and bustle, there was a sense of peace that had survived the disaster.
The first step is to eliminate the Black Lotus Demon Nest. Although according to history, this Black Lotus Demon Nest was quickly surrounded and suppressed in previous lives, making Ye Qing feel like he was risking his life, no matter what, now it is the first kill, and both the Heavenly Court and the Imperial Court will express their opinions.
Meritorious deeds are not inferior to field battles. No matter what the court does, they cannot dismiss me with the rank of fifth grade Hanlin, which already belongs to me. As it is not in the system, I will have to be ennobled.
Is it a Count with an empty title, or a Baron with a territory and a real title?
This is only from the perspective of the imperial court. What is bestowed by the Heavenly Court may be more practical and closer to spiritual cultivation.
As for the stability of the alliance and the consolidation of the position of alliance leader after this battle, this is the additional benefit.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help but smile.
After paying such a high price, we are now waiting for the harvest.
