Chapter 370 The Legendary Murong Li
Fortunately, his mute point was not clicked, and he shouted in panic: "You can't torture and kill prisoners."
Su Yue looked at him with disdain, covered her nose and walked in front of him, her eyes blazing with murderous intent. She said coldly, "Who said I want to kill you? I don't need to kill you. There are plenty of people who can kill you."
So many soldiers were killed in Qingniu Pass, and they hated the Dongfeng Army to the core, so it was not her turn to take action.
"Are you the princess?"
Deputy General Zhan stared at Su Yue with wide eyes. Could this person in front of him be the legendary Princess Li?
The man who just kidnapped General Wu is Prince Li?
The Prince of Li Murong Li who quelled the prince’s rebellion?
It is rumored that Prince Li is an unparalleled martial arts master, possessing both military and civil skills, wisdom and courage. Otherwise, how could he escape from Murong Gan's clutches and rescue the Emperor of Xifeng without any soldiers? How could he have successfully quelled the palace coup without just a few tricks?
The East Feng Kingdom wanted to conquer the West Feng Kingdom, and King Li was the only threat. No one else was a concern. Unexpectedly, he arrived at the border so soon.
Deputy General Zhan sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and was no longer afraid. Even if he was afraid, it was useless.
If you fall into the hands of Prince Li, you will be skinned alive even if you don't die, and your life will be over.
When Su Yue saw Deputy General Zhan's expression, she roughly guessed what he was thinking and ignored him.
She walked to a secluded place, took out a few quilts from the space and spread them out. She asked the secret guards to move General Wu and the soldier into the quilts and cover them up. Although it was not snowing, it was very cold.
Then she stood on the city wall, covered the entire battlefield with her mental power, and gave orders to the Shadowless Army, telling them not to kill the Dongfeng Army anymore. Those soldiers would be useful and could be used when negotiating with the Dongfeng Kingdom.
Sure enough, the Shadowless Army received the order and stopped killing. Instead, they surrounded the Dongfeng Legion, making it impossible for them to escape.
Murong Li killed all the Dongfeng troops in the city. Only a small number of people escaped from the city, but they were trapped.
The city gate was closed at this time, which meant the battle was over.
Murong Li arranged for the remaining soldiers to clean up the battlefield and asked An Yi and others to help. After everything was arranged, he flew onto the city wall and asked about General Wu's situation.
Su Yue: "Don't worry, with me here, it will be hard for them to die."
Murong Li raised his lips. He wanted to hug Su Yue. There was blood on his body. He said, "Yue'er, let the Wuying Army watch over the Dongfeng Army. Let's go back to the camp."
Su Yue nodded, gave instructions to the Shadowless Army, and then followed him down the city wall.
The secret guards behind picked up General Wu and his two companions and followed them down the city wall. Another one carried General Wu and his two companions and also went down the city wall. The Xifeng soldiers took them to General Wu's tent.
General Wu's tent was very simple, without even a stove. Su Yue took advantage of the situation and moved a stove out of the space, and at the same time moved out coal and lit the stove.
At this moment, the secret guards had already put General Wu on the bed. After Su Yue's treatment and drinking the spiritual spring water, General Wu was slowly waking up. Seeing so many people in his tent, he was stunned and his mind was still not clear.
His memory still lingered on the moment when he was provoked by General Wu and thrown against the city wall.
But when he saw Murong Li, his soul came back to him instantly and he struggled to sit up and salute him.
This is Prince Li, their Prince Li. The court sent them here so quickly.
Murong Li gestured and said, "General Wu is injured. No need to be polite. Lie down and talk."
General Wu had just pulled on his wound, and the pain made him grit his teeth. He nodded slightly and said weakly, "I will see Prince Li."
Then he saw Su Yue standing beside him. He didn't know Su Yue, but since she was the woman following Prince Li, he thought she must be Princess Li. He bowed again and said, "I've met Princess Li."
They both waved at him at the same time.
Murong Li added, "General Wu, rest and recover. The battle outside is over, but the situation is not good. There are not many soldiers left."
General Wu's face was filled with sorrow. He stammered a few times and asked, "What about the Dongfeng Army? Did they retreat?"
Murong Li's eyes were cold and sharp. "They didn't retreat. They were surrounded by my men. General Wu and his deputy were captured by me."
General Wu was stunned, then angrily said, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault for being incompetent. I almost let Qingniu Pass fall into the hands of the enemy. Now that that thief Wu has been captured, please don't show him any mercy. You must seek justice for our soldiers."
Murong Li said in a deep voice, "General Wu, don't worry. I will make my own decision and will not let the Dongfeng Kingdom get away with it. You can rest and recover. The military doctor will be here soon. I have other things to attend to. If you need anything, please send someone to find me."
"Yes, I respectfully send you off, Your Highness and Your Highness."
General Wu bowed and sent the two men out of the tent, then he lay down on the bed with peace of mind, but he felt bad. Of the 100,000 soldiers in Qingniu Pass, there were probably less than 10,000 left.
Those soldiers were his subordinates who had followed him for many years, and they died in vain.
An Yi found an empty yard for Murong Li and his friend and let them live in it.
"Your Majesty, the city has run out of food."
An Yi reported to Murong Li only after he had made all the arrangements.
Murong Li asked in surprise: "How come there is no food?"
There are four major passes in Xifeng Country, and Qingniu Pass is one of them. There are sufficient reserve grains. Not to mention that the soldiers at the border are self-sufficient when there is no war, even the reserve grains are enough to feed 100,000 soldiers for half a year. How could there be no food?
An Yi said, "Your Highness, it was burned by spies from the Dongfeng Kingdom. The remaining food is enough for the soldiers to have a meal tonight, and they will run out of food tomorrow."
Murong Li's eyes shone. He nodded, glanced at Su Yue and said, "I understand. We'll put the food in this yard later. You can send someone to pick it up."
An Yi bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will be busy now. You and the princess can take a rest."
An Yi knew that Murong Li and Su Yue were always on the road and rarely rested.
Murong Li waved his hand and said, "No need. If there is any situation in the city, please report to me immediately after you have cleared it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Only then did An Yi take the order and leave.
After An Yi left, Su Yue moved a lot of food out of the empty room in the yard.
After the people in the city left, they took away everything they could from the house, leaving many empty rooms.
After the move, Su Yue collected all the food and grass in the Dongfeng military camp, and then she went into the bedroom to decorate the room.
Murong Li found the study in this courtyard and prepared to work here.
After the two of them tidied up, they entered the space to eat. It was almost dark at this time. Murong left to deal with some things, and Su Yue prepared to go to bed.
