Luo stared blankly at Xiao Yi's corpse for a long time, but...
"Didn't Yoruichi tell you to wait for reinforcements before rescuing people?" she asked.
One of Xiao Yi's subordinates looked sorrowful: "Reporting to the chief, our inside source sent word that Xiao He was going to move the Ninth Master to another location today, which is why the general had no choice but to act ahead of schedule."
Relocate to another place?
"Oh no!" A sense of foreboding washed over Luo Xi. "We have to go!"
Otherwise, if Xiao He waited and waited but the escorts never returned to report, he would probably know that something had happened here.
The others also realized this and quickly packed their things to leave. Qinglong once again carried Jiuxian on his back.
At this moment, one of Xiao Yi's subordinates said to Luo Xi, "Boss, we won't be going with you."
He had his companion find a simple wooden plank and carry Xiao Yi's body up it: "They say fallen leaves return to their roots, so we must transport the general's remains back to his homeland for burial."
Luo Xi turned her head and took a deep look at Xiao Yi's corpse, then nodded: "Okay, be careful."
She thought for a moment, then took out a flag from her backpack—or rather, from her spatial storage—and walked over to gently cover the corpse.
The subordinate who had just been talking to Luo Xi took a closer look and his eyes instantly welled up with tears, because the flag was embroidered with the two large characters "Chaoyang" (meaning "rising sun").
He knelt down in front of Luo Xi with a thud: "Your subordinate thanks the chief on behalf of the general."
Luo Xi helped him up with one hand, took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into his hand: "Give General Xiao a proper burial. I'll go and pay my respects to him when I have time."
After they finished speaking, the two groups went their separate ways.
After walking quite a distance, Baihu couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how... have you forgiven Xiao Yi?"
Luo Xi said calmly, "They say that when a person dies, their debts are settled. Besides, he died to save Jiu Xian."
"Since the person is gone, there's no need for me to hold onto past grudges. What good would it do except make myself miserable? It's better to just let it go."
Seeing that Jiuxian on Qinglong's back was starting to doze off again, and that the pills weren't working well for him, Luo Xi urged, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Let's hurry up and leave, or we'll be in trouble if Xiao He blocks us."
However, before she could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves came from the other side.
"Boss, something bad has happened! Xiao He has spotted you coming to rescue the Ninth Master!" It was Qi Lei, who was followed by several thousand soldiers. He rushed to Luo Xi and surrounded them in a protective stance.
When Qi Lei saw Jiu Xian behind Qinglong, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, the Ninth Master has been rescued."
He was worried that the chief and his men hadn't arrived in time: "I don't know what happened, chief and your men had only been gone a short while when Xiao He's men came after us."
"General Yue Zheng is still blocking us over there, but there are just too many of them. I had no choice but to bring a few men and ride fast horses to find you. Xiao He's men should be arriving soon."
Sure enough, Luo Xi and his group hadn't gone far when they ran into a large group of people.
"Hahaha, Luo Xi, you didn't expect that, did you? We still managed to intercept you. Let's see where you can run today." It turned out that Xiao He himself was leading the team.
"I'll say it again: hand over the treasure, and I'll spare your life."
Qi Lei looked at the enemy troops covering the mountains and fields, and his face turned pale: "Damn it, there are all kinds of forces here. We've stirred up a hornet's nest. It seems that even the general couldn't stop many people."
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Le Zheng Feiyuan only had a few people, while Xiao He had several groups of people. It would be good if he could stop half of them.
"Boss, what do we do now?" Qi Lei asked.
Loxi looked at the enemy getting closer and closer and smiled: "Naturally... poison them."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took off into the air and flew two or three zhang high.
Xiao He and Yang Sanlang were dumbfounded.
"Everyone says that Luo Xi's martial arts are unparalleled. I thought it was just a rumor, but I never expected..." Yang Sanlang's eyes were full of jealousy.
"However, it's a pipe dream for her to think she can defeat our hundreds of thousands of soldiers with her superior martial arts skills."
However, before he could finish speaking, the soldiers in the front row began to scream in agony as if they were going crazy, and then one after another they fell to the ground.
"How is this possible?" Yang Sanlang's eyes widened like copper bells: "Could it be that Luo Xi is not human, but a demon?"
Otherwise, why did her men die before she even made a move?
"They've been poisoned, you idiots!" Xiao He had already seen Luo Xi scatter something towards them from above. Luckily, they were far enough away not to be poisoned, but he still gritted his teeth in hatred: "That Nan! Wu! Shang!"
Besides him, Xiao He couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could make such a potent poison. It was this person who killed his own son.
Being suddenly scolded, Yang Sanlang's expression naturally didn't look good.
Once we get the treasure, it'll be time for that old geezer to die.
“Loxi’s poison is too potent. Let the soldiers retreat first, and then we’ll think of another way,” he suggested, suppressing his anger.
"No!" Xiao He walked over and snatched the drumsticks from the drummer's hand, then used all his strength to start banging them.
"Listen up, all of you! Anyone who retreats will have their entire family wiped out. Anyone who kills or captures Loxi alive will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."
Yang Sanlang was stunned.
Xiao He is really ruthless; he's using human lives to slowly wear down the poison in Luo Xi's hands.
However, he himself didn't say anything.
Luo Xi was also shocked by Xiao He's ruthlessness, but seeing the enemies rushing towards her like ants, she had no choice but to take out poison and sprinkle it on them again.
Fearing that it might hurt her own people, she threw several bottles of spiritual spring water to her own people to drink before scattering it.
Now that we've come to this point, there's no point in hiding anything anymore.
Upon seeing this, Xiao He's eyes lit up with astonishing brightness.
His eyes shone brightly, and the veins on his hands, which were gripping the drumsticks, bulged: "Hahaha, great! The treasure is in Luo Xi's hands! Charge! Charge over and snatch the treasure!"
Yang Sanlang was also extremely excited: "So there really is such a divine water! It can even detoxify!"
What were we waiting for? He joined the frantic urging.
Immediately, Xiao He's soldiers charged forward like madmen, fearless of death. After one row of men fell, the next group stepped over their corpses and rushed forward.
Even Qi Lei, a veteran of many battles, turned pale at the sight, but...
“They have hundreds of thousands of people and they’re not worried about not having enough to fill, but we can’t possibly have that much poison.” He was extremely worried.
The most dangerous kind of enemy in war is one that has lost its mind and is unafraid of pain or death, especially since they have less than 10,000 soldiers.
"Boss, how much poison do you have left?" Qi Lei asked as Luo Xi landed after scattering a batch of poison.
Loxi was worried about this: "There aren't many left, everyone get ready for battle."
"yes!"
The enemies are so brave; how could their subordinates, the leader's men, be inferior to them?
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, waiting for Rosie's command.
