Musashi and his two companions ran all the way until it was dark that night, when they finally caught up with the 50,000 troops who had retreated first.
"Marshal, it's Marshal Musashi who has returned."
The Japanese army that was running wildly suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Musashi said to his two capable generals without any hesitation: "Pass the order, have two thousand archers and two thousand spearmen set up an ambush in the woods on both sides of the road, and the rest of the army will continue on their way. The Wei army is right behind me, and I will lead the army to retreat first. You wait until you have defeated the pursuers of the Wei army, and then catch up."
After receiving Musashi's order, the Japanese generals naturally carried it out without hesitation.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, several thousand cavalrymen led by Xu Da arrived here.
However, although it was dark at this moment, Xu Da still felt infinite murderous intent.
He quickly pulled the reins of his warhorse.
The young general of the Wei army nearby hurriedly said: "General, is there an ambush?"
Xu Dayan said: "I'm not sure, but we have been chasing them for so long, it's time we encounter an ambush by the Japanese."
"Look, the woods on both sides are so quiet that you can't even hear the chirping of insects or birds."
The young general of the Wei army said: "General, I don't know how big the woods on both sides of the road are, but it looks like they should be able to hide three to four thousand soldiers."
Xu Da made a prompt decision and said, "It's not easy to ride horses in the woods. You should dismount and go around the side of the woods. If there is really an ambush, when the sound of killing is heard, I will lead the rest of the soldiers to attack both sides. If there is no ambush, we will continue to pursue them."
The young general quickly replied: "We will do it right away. This is a good opportunity for us to rest our horses."
…
Looking at the woods on both sides of the road, Xu Da couldn't help but sigh: "The Japanese still have some brains. This place is really a suitable place for an ambush."
Musashi should feel gratified at this time, because the famous Middle-earth general Xu Da actually praised him.
However, this was not the place chosen by Musashi, he just happened to arrive there.
In less than two quarters of an hour, shouts and cries of killing could be heard from the woods on both sides of the road.
Xu Da said loudly: "There is indeed an ambush. Soldiers, the Japanese have been running for a whole day and night, and they must be exhausted. Soldiers, follow me and charge into the woods on both sides and kill all these Japanese."
…
Xu Da has been very tired these days. He is either fighting the Japanese or on the way to pursue them.
But on the other hand, Zhang Wuji in Luzhou was about to face his tiring time.
After dinner, Zhang Wuji came to Zhou Zhiruo's room with a basin of hot water and a smirk on his face. At this time, Zhou Zhiruo was lying on her bed, supporting her head with one hand and flipping through a book with the other.
Zhang Wuji was fascinated by her when he saw her: "Zhiruo, you look quite scholarly now, and somewhat similar to Su Tanmei."
Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhang Wuji and said, "You are not allowed to compare me with others. Only others are similar to me, but I am not similar to others."
Zhang Wuji said embarrassedly: "Yes, in this world, only others can imitate my Zhiruo, how can my Zhiruo imitate others."
Zhang Wuji placed the basin of hot water under the bed: "Zhiruo, don't sleep too late. I'll help you warm your feet, and then we'll rest."
Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhang Wuji again and said, "You rascal, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I slapped you in the face today. You didn't say it, but I don't know what you are thinking in your heart."
Zhang Wuji said righteously: "Zhiruo, your misunderstanding of me is getting deeper and deeper. You know how much I like you. I love you so much that how could I harm you."
Although Zhang Wuji said this, his hands were still very honest and touched Zhou Zhiruo's feet.
Zhou Zhiruo thought to herself, "Hmph, I was right about you."
She pretended to be disgusted and buried her feet in the quilt beside her.
"Don't touch me, I don't want to care about you tonight. Although Luzhou is not as good as Beijing, there are six or seven women around you. Go find them."
No matter how fast Zhou Zhiruo dodged, she could not escape Zhang Wuji's clutches.
Zhang Wuji stood up slightly and grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's smooth calf.
Zhou Zhiruo said shyly: "Zhang Wuji, let me go, you are shameless."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Zhiruo, go ahead and scold me as much as you want. You know me. Unless you are not feeling well today, you should know what will happen to you."
As he spoke, Zhang Wuji pressed Zhou Zhiruo's jade-like feet into the basin of hot water under the bed.
Zhou Zhiruo frowned slightly, and then, like Zhao Min, she shook her feet slightly, and some water splashed directly onto Zhang Wuji's face: "My enemy, do you want to burn me to death?"
"The water is so hot, tell me honestly, are you taking revenge on me?"
Zhang Wuji said with a wicked smile: "Zhiruo, don't always imagine me as a bad person. Soak your feet in hot water, and you will sleep more comfortably."
Looking at Zhang Wuji's greedy look, Zhou Zhiruo finally sighed helplessly: "You enemy, during the day, I took advantage of those two girls, Wei Xiangjun and Yang Buhui. You must be here to take revenge on me tonight."
Zhang Wuji said: "Zhiruo, we are an old married couple. Don't you know whether I am sincere to you or not? Even if I am cut into pieces in this life, I will not let you suffer even the slightest harm."
Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "Hmph, if it weren't for this point, I would have left you long ago."
"But then again, whether you are nice to me and whether you will retaliate against me are clearly two different issues. You, my enemy, will definitely cause me great harm tonight."
How could Zhang Wuji admit what Zhou Zhiruo said? He just asked with a smirk: "Zhiruo, we husband and wife never lie to each other. Are you feeling well today?"
Zhou Zhiruo subconsciously wanted to say that she was not feeling well, but she did not want to lie to Zhang Wuji, so she could only say angrily: "Hmph, I, I have always been in good health. After all, I am a martial artist, so how could I feel unwell easily?"
Zhang Wuji was naturally delighted when he heard this.
He looked at the two beautiful jades in the basin and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
He picked up the two pieces of beautiful jade from the basin and then kissed them hard.
