Chapter 158: Simons Don’t Observe Martial Ethics
"Marshal Bai, the first round of competition between the two of them is over. Now let me go meet Qu You!"
Bai Zongrui quickly volunteered, as he couldn't bear to see his son get into trouble.
"No rush, Fourth Brother hasn't lost yet."
Bai Li signaled his second uncle to look again, and Bai Zongrui had to control his temper and pick up the telescope again.
At this time, Bai Silang dodged Qu You's attacks several times and began to counterattack.
He turned around and chopped with his sword. The eighty-jin machete collided with Qu You's one hundred-jin copper hammer. Qu You had the advantage because of his superior position.
Bai Shilang's machete seemed to be unable to defeat the opponent and slipped down, chopping the horse's leg.
Qu You's horse's hind leg was cut and even the bone was broken. The horse fell to the ground and Qu You fell heavily.
Before he could stand up, Bai Shilang's knife came again!
"Now, let's have a fair fight. No more cheating!"
Bai Shilang certainly knew what had happened just now. If no one had saved him, he would have died by now.
Simon the dog is so cunning!
No moral ethics!
Qu You couldn't do anything to Bai Silang even on horseback, and now that he was on the ground, he could only be pinned down and beaten by him.
As for what he said about a fair fight, he didn't respond and didn't take it seriously at all.
It would be great if someone could help him win. Only a fool would talk to him about fairness and martial ethics!
Qu You was accidentally hit on the arm by Bai Silang. The bloody arm flew more than ten feet away, and the copper hammer flew to the side. Qu You covered his broken arm and fled in panic.
Simon's camp immediately called off the troops, and Bai Shilang had no choice but to turn back as he could not chase them any further.
At this time, Bai Zongren and his two brothers rode out on horseback with the Bai family's sons to greet them, and at the same time warned Simon not to try any more conspiracies.
"Shiro, are you okay?"
Bai Zongrui rode his horse to meet him and was relieved to see that his son was safe and sound.
The father and son returned to the city gate, "Uncle, Third Uncle, you are all here!"
"I'm glad you're okay. You're great. You've brought honor to the Bai family!"
Bai Silang blushed when his uncle praised him, and he touched his head and smiled foolishly.
Suddenly I remembered what happened just now, "Uncle, Simon the dog is so insidious, he actually shot an arrow at me from the dark just now!"
"I see. It was your sister who saved you."
Only then did Bai Silang realize that it was his cousin Bai Li who saved him.
"Let's go back to the city first."
The city gate opened, a few horses entered, and then it was immediately closed again.
On the city wall, Bai Li held up a telescope and looked at the enemy camp.
Seeing Qu You stumbling back to the front of the camp, a fast horse came out to meet him. The rider reached out and grabbed him, put him on the horse's back, and turned back.
Because he couldn't hear what they said because he was too far away, Bai Li could roughly guess what they meant based on their mouth shapes.
They lost the first battle and lost a general. Some people suggested withdrawing the troops and returning to the camp, while others suggested continuing the battle.
Through the telescope, we can see that Qu You reluctantly reported to a man sitting on a sedan chair. Judging from the respectful attitude of the crowd towards that man, he must be of high status.
"Prince Jin is not dead yet!"
Bai Zongren climbed up the city wall and saw through the telescope that the man sitting on the sedan chair with a sick face was no one else but the Prince of Jin.
"He's lucky! He dodged my arrow and deflected it, allowing him to survive!"
Bai Li was a little angry. According to her idea, if all these troublemakers were killed, there would be no war and the people of the world would be able to live a peaceful life.
Although, she knew this was unrealistic.
Because people are greedy. If the King of Jin is gone, there will still be the Regent King of Wei or some other king. As long as there are people who are greedy for power and influence, there will be no peace in the world.
"Li'er, you severely defeated King Jin before the Ximeng army even reached the Great Zhou territory. This has already dealt a heavy blow to their morale. Coupled with Qu You's defeat just now, the Ximeng people are already thinking of retreating!"
Bai Li took a look and found that it was indeed the case.
Several people on Simon's side were arguing fiercely, and it was obvious that there was a disagreement among the generals.
You bastards, it would be better if you started fighting among yourselves!
The King of Jin had a gloomy face and said nothing, letting several people talk nonsense in front of him.
When they had almost finished speaking, he said in a deep voice, "Enough. Today's battle must not only be fought, but also won. Otherwise, our army's morale will be low. How can we avenge the fallen soldiers?"
"I listen to the general. Just give the order on how to fight!"
Those who wanted to back down did not dare to speak. They dared to speak out because the general did not say anything just now. Now that the general has spoken, anyone who says anything more will be seeking death. After all, it is not their turn to make the decision here.
King Jin's gloomy eyes swept around and finally landed on Qu Ao's face.
"General Qu, you will take the second round. Go and seek advice from Marshal Bai and avenge your brother's broken arm!"
Qu Ao opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
However, the dissatisfaction and resentment on his face were not concealed at all.
"General Qu, if I hadn't been injured, I would have sought justice for your brother.
Even if there were no suitable candidates right now, I wouldn't send you. I hope you don't think too much about it."
It sounds better when spoken than sung!
Qu Ao cursed in his heart but didn't show it on his face.
"General, you are too kind. As a general, it is a soldier's duty to obey orders."
"That's good, go ahead!"
Qu Ao and Qu You, whose face was pale with pain, looked at each other and retreated.
The two brothers knew in their hearts that they were on the different side from King Jin, and they could do nothing about his suppression and harm.
As for challenging Marshal Bai, it depends on whether he accepts it.
Qu You was helped down by the military doctor to apply medicine. If he hadn't applied the hemostatic acupuncture points himself, he would have lost too much blood and passed out by now.
Qu Ao looked at his brother's back, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"drive!"
With a light shout, he rode his horse out of the camp.
"This man's name is Qu Ao, he is the leader of the Qu family army in Ximen. His martial arts skills are not inferior to mine, and he is a capable general in the Ximen military camp.
Unfortunately, he is the regent's man, and he is destined to be ostracized and suppressed by the regent if he leads the troops with the prince of Jin this time."
Bai Zongren knew all about the soldiers in Ximeng, and he took the opportunity to teach his daughter about them.
"Dad, are you saying that he is being forced into this situation by Prince Jin?"
"Half of it was because he was forced to fight, and half of it was to avenge his brother."
"In war, you either die or get injured. You seek revenge on me, and what's the point of me seeking revenge on you?
When will the cycle of revenge end? I really don't know why they love fighting so much. Isn't it better to just live a peaceful life?"
"Li'er, you think it's too simple!"
Bai Zongren felt that his daughter was sometimes decisive and ruthless, and sometimes too soft-hearted. Even he couldn't understand what his daughter was thinking.
"Dad, is he challenging me?"
Bai Zongren looked and saw that Qu Ao had indeed driven his horse to ten feet outside the city wall and started to challenge him. The person he was calling was none other than his daughter Bai Li, Marshal Bai.
"I'll go meet him!"
Bai Li handed the telescope to her father and was about to go down the city wall.
