Chapter 885 Seven Wheels of Fortune
He Lingchuan exhaled lightly and looked back at everyone:
"Where is Mr. Lu?"
The most important task of their trip to Baisha Port was to escort Lu Xun, but Fu Shanlie came for He Lingchuan.
"Nothing hurt." Liu Tiao pouted, "He's coming."
He Lingchuan saw that Lu Xun was running with steady steps and agile movements, and he didn't look injured at all.
He breathed a sigh of relief. If the ancestor of the Lu family was injured under his protection, the face of Panlong City would be thrown into the river.
"Where are the water bandits?"
"As soon as the battle started, Mr. Lu asked for treasures to kill the enemy. The water bandits died or fled, and they have already dispersed." Liu Tiao pointed to the other side, "Menban and Hu Min led the crowd to chase them."
There was a puff of smoke on the other side, and it was indeed a posture of the enemy chasing me.
This battle ended very quickly. From the explosion of the bridge deck, He Lingchuan falling into the water, to the retreat of the enemies, it took only more than thirty breaths.
But He Lingchuan had been fighting underwater at high intensity the whole time, and when he relaxed, he felt as if he was in another world.
His back was wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was water or sweat.
He was deeply impressed by Fu Shanlie's cunning and ferocity.
Perhaps Fu Shanlie had the same impression of him.
"Cross the river first and join them." He Lingchuan ordered, and three magicians came out of the escort team, choosing the narrowest part of the two banks, pressing their hands on the ground and whispering.
Lu Xun knew that they were going to build a land bridge, so he said to his followers: "You go and help too."
"Yes." The man walked forward, also pressed his hands on the sand, and cast a spell with the magicians of Yuheng City.
This section of the river bank slowly extended and approached the other side.
It took more than two quarters of an hour before the land bridge was built.
Everyone hurriedly rode through on horseback.
This was just a temporary passage, and there were already cracks when the last few people passed through. The bridge that can really be used for business must wait for Qianjinzhai to come and repair it.
However, the Yuheng Army had just set off fireworks as a signal, and the nearby sentries saw it and quickly sent people to survey and build a bridge.
During the construction of the land bridge, A Luo was not idle either, and he brought the medicine box to treat He Lingchuan's wounds.
He Lingchuan had fought bravely before, without frowning, but when A Luo treated his wounds, he grimaced in pain.
"Hold it!" A Luo complained, "He has torn your Zhongfu acupoints, and there is poison on his claws! This poison is fierce, otherwise you will turn into a corpse later!"
He Lingchuan looked down and saw a big hole on his right shoulder that could at least fit four fingers. There was blood, but the edges were black.
"Did you use too little anesthetic?" Every time the blade scraped off a piece of flesh and blood, it was painful!
"Not a lot." A Luo shook his head, "The Ba poison itself can suppress the effect of the anesthetic, so that the prey can suffer soberly."
He Lingchuan couldn't help rolling his eyes. Damn it, how could I forget that this is the ancestral sinister routine of the Fushan family.
Alas, Fushan Yue is a good brother, I will kill your father later, don't blame me.
Lu Xun also came over to visit: "How is Commander He's injury?"
When A Luo was busy, he was always concise: "It can be cured, the arm will not be disabled."
"What monster in the water injured Commander He?"
"Fushan Lie." He Lingchuan reluctantly said, "In return, I will also remove one of his arms."
Lu Xun was a little surprised: "Ba also likes to fight in the water? I only heard that they are good at earth escape."
Fushan Lie is a Beijia demon general who has become famous in recent years. However, the young commander of Yuheng City can fight Fushan Lie on equal terms under the premise of being ambushed.
He looked at He Lingchuan with new eyes.
"This Ba is a little special." He Lingchuan had never seen Fushan Yue's outstanding performance in the water. Was he deliberately hiding his shortcomings, or was the ability of water escape only mastered by his father?
A Luo's treatment method was really rough, so He Lingchuan found another topic to divert attention: "By the way, Mr. Lu's magic weapon for defending against enemies is so dazzling."
"That's a magic weapon lent to me by someone else. Once I get into trouble, I can ask it to help." Lu Xun laughed, "Otherwise, I can't control it at all with my ability."
He Lingchuan just thought it was interesting: "Can it be borrowed like this?"
They have all seen the violence of the flywheel, which is almost beyond the scope of existing magic weapons.
"When this set of seven blessing wheels was refined, there were seven in the whole set. After the ancient battle between immortals and demons, only three were left. This is one of them, and the other two are still with their owners."
Liu Tiao was surprised: "It turned out to be an ancient treasure!"
No wonder he killed people so easily.
"I just borrowed it. Once I encounter an accident, the treasure will return to the owner by itself, and others can't use it at all."
He Lingchuan let out a long "oh". No wonder Lu Xun used the seven blessing wheels openly and admitted that it was an ancient treasure, because others couldn't have any idea of it.
Lu Xun smiled again and said, "This treasure is good, but it won't take too long to be used in battle. It takes three to five months of spiritual energy to produce such a short time."
The more powerful the magic weapon is, the more amazing the energy consumption is. It is very good that these ancient magic weapons can still be used today.
During the conversation, the land bridge was built and everyone passed by in a line.
Willow shot a few more command arrows into the sky.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Menban, Hu Min and others returned after seeing the order, and captured more than a dozen prisoners. The remaining water bandits fled in different places.
In the ambush, both sides suffered casualties.
Most of the wounded on He Lingchuan's side were injured in the water, and those water monsters bit people too fiercely.
The losses of the Xiqie puppet army were basically on land, and some were captured alive.
He Lingchuan was quite satisfied.
Before the battle, there were less than 40 Yuheng soldiers crossing the bridge.
When suddenly attacked, forty against more than two hundred water bandits were still able to defeat the enemy, which showed that the quality of the soldiers, tactics and martial arts were much higher than that of the enemy.
He Lingchuan can train the Yu Heng army, and Fu Shan Lie can train the water bandits. As a result, the gap in combat power between the two sides is still so big - of course, the guard members selected by He Lingchuan are all the best from the best, while Fu Shan Lie's water bandits are essentially a ragtag group. .
But it also shows that the Yuheng Army's training and fighting in the past six months has achieved remarkable results, and the army's combat effectiveness is rapidly improving.
The door panel and others also came to report that there were several masters among the gangsters on land, which was the main reason for the attrition of the guard.
"Those may be Fushan Lie's own henchmen."
He Lingchuan walked further and found that the scout he sent out died in the dense forest. No wonder no warning was sent back before. I don’t know how many bridges I have to pass when walking along the Longchuan Commercial Road from south to north. There are some pits that cannot be avoided.
If you can't avoid it, you can't avoid it. Use your strength to break through. On this trade road, whether the Xiqian puppet army attacked the Yuheng army or the Yuheng army encircled and suppressed the Xiqian puppet army, it was nothing new.
The conflict between the two sides has heated up.
"Mr. Lu was frightened." He expressed his sincere apology to Lu Xun, "It was our lack of protection."
"Where." Lu Xun waved his hand, "Commander He fought bravely, and the Yuheng army was not in chaos when attacked. This battle also allows me to make an assessment of Panlong City."
"Evaluation?" He Lingchuan wondered, what did he want to evaluate?
¥¥¥¥¥
The gate of Yuheng City was in sight, and everyone subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Finally home.
Their blood-stained shirts attracted countless people's attention along the way.
After entering the city gate, He Lingchuan dismissed the guards as usual and asked them to go down to rest and treat their injuries. He invited Lu Xun to have a cup of tea at the city post and went to the inner room to change his clothes. Otherwise, it would be indecent to bring guests into the city covered in blood.
He was injured and was slow to change. At this juncture, the adjutant Chao Qian hurried over. Seeing that he was unable to move, he quickly came to help:
"Sir, I heard there was some accident on the road?"
He Lingchuan smiled: "Finally, Fu Shanlie took the opportunity to ambush me."
He instigated the Takigawa water bandits to fight among themselves. Fushan Lie hated him to the core and wanted to kill him several times. However, He Lingchuan had recently been in charge of the military training of the Yuheng Army and was busy training these thousands of troops to death. He rarely traveled far from the city. Fu Shanlie could never find a suitable opportunity to take action.
He had been waiting for so long and finally received the good news about He Lingchuan's return trip to Baisha Port. How could he let it go so easily?
Chao Qian's face paled when he heard this: "Where is Fu Shanlie?"
The commander is back, which at least shows that Fu Shanlie did not succeed. But looking at this injury, the battle was brutal, right?
"Sorry for letting him run away." He Lingchuan took out a severed arm from the storage ring and handed it to him. "I promised you before that I would avenge Miao Mingming."
Chao Gan was stunned and slowly reached out to take it.
At first glance, the severed arm looks no different from an ordinary hand, but its texture is particularly hard and its nails are long and pointed, like wolf's claws.
Is this Fushanlie's arm?
He didn't know how he felt, so he murmured: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"
Miao was obviously a relative who defected to him, but he was sucked by Fu Shanlie and died. He Lingchuan promised him at that time that he would avenge Miao Mingming.
Chao Qian didn't expect that the commander-in-chief, who was always in charge of everything, always remembered this promise and went out of his way to fulfill it to him.
After changing his clothes, He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder: "There will be a chance for revenge later, just wait and see."
Then he walked out and led Lu Xun to the city guard station.
Seeing that his face was pale, Lu Xun said worriedly: "Commander He, you should take a good rest from your injury. I'll just go on my own."
He Lingchuan's injury was treated, his right hand was splinted on his chest, and he continued to take painkillers. At this time, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I can run and jump."
Lu Xun had personally experienced the dangers of the previous battle, and he secretly admired him when he saw him chatting and laughing without taking it seriously. He had originally heard that the Gale Army was tenacious and victorious, but just by looking at Commander He's performance, he knew that he was not exaggerating.
Before he arrived, someone from the office strode out to greet him.
He Lingchuan took a closer look and saw that it was Zhong Shengguang!
He arrived half a day earlier than expected, arriving at Yuheng City one step ahead of Lu Xun.
Zhong Shengguang was all smiles as soon as he arrived: "Mr. Lu, you are finally here!"
Lu Xun looked at him seriously: "Could it be Commander Zhong?"
"Exactly."
The two of them laughed, holding hands and chatting happily, without any emotion, as if they had known each other for many years.
He Lingchuan smiled when he saw the wrinkles at the corners of Zhong Shengguang's eyes, knowing that he was happy from the bottom of his heart and was not just showing up.
Zhong Shengguang welcomed Lu Xun into the department hall and entered a small hall specifically for discussion. After the attendants served tea and snacks, he drove everyone away——
Except He Lingchuan.
He deserves to stay.
