After killing Rong Lü, Gu Mu did not linger in battle and turned to retreat.
Fortunately, the archers of the Southern Dynasty were also very capable. As he retreated, they fired arrows at the enemy troops who were constantly pursuing him, covering Gu Mu's retreat.
The enemies dared not pursue too far, after all, the Southern Dynasty's soldiers were right in front of Gu Mu.
Rong Lü was a general of the Si Kingdom.
"Withdraw!" the Xia general commanded, waving his hand.
One died, and there are still four left.
Gu Mu's eyes were cold.
Back on my horse.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
General Meng, Shen Ci, and other generals from the Southern Dynasty gathered around, looking at Gu Mu's injuries.
Gu Mu's armor was stained red, some of it his own, some of it his enemies'.
He looked like a bloodied man who had crawled out of the most vicious hell.
Gu Mu's eyes held a chilling, menacing quality.
This is an aura that can only be forged in war.
"Your Highness, are you... alright?" a general asked.
They seemed to have seen the spear pierce Gu Mu's heart, but they must have been seeing things.
Otherwise, how could His Highness be standing perfectly fine in front of them?
However, even if it didn't pierce the heart, it still stabbed through the chest. Despite such a serious injury, His Highness still calmly pulled out the spear, took the life of the enemy general, and then retreated with composure.
The way they looked at Gu Mu was a little different now.
"It's nothing. Go back to the barracks and rest," Gu Mu said calmly.
The Resurrection Pill can heal fatal wounds and make ordinary wounds heal faster, but it cannot completely heal the wounds on his body.
He also urgently needs to rest and replenish his energy.
Perhaps it was because Gu Mu had taken the head of the enemy general as the enemy retreated that the morale of the Southern Dynasty soldiers was even higher, and even the sound of their horses' hooves returning to the camp seemed to be a little heavier.
Back at the military camp, some soldiers were assigned to take turns keeping watch at night, while the rest rested well.
The likelihood of the enemy launching another surprise attack that night is very low.
After all, the enemy isn't made of iron either.
Gu Mu lay quietly in the military camp. Having grown up in a peaceful era, he witnessed the cruelty of war for the first time.
But he could not retreat; he had to fight.
This is the price that must be paid before a peaceful and prosperous era arrives.
Only because he has a certain amount of influence in this world, even if he transmigrates into the body of a villain, this world cannot easily erase him for the sake of the plot.
Meanwhile, in the capital city, after a day...
The heroes of the martial arts world, each displaying their unique skills, found the first fragment of the city entry token.
At this moment, Xiao Su has one piece in her hand, while the other two are in the hands of Qingjian Mountain and the money shop, respectively.
The young man in the blue robe also arrived in the city tonight.
Not following the main group makes it less likely to attract attention.
He was sitting in a noodle shop, and across from him sat a flat-chested little girl.
"Master, why are you so slow? The city entry token fragments have all been snatched by others." Lu Xiaoyao looked at the bland noodles in front of her and couldn't help but complain.
Doctors are the best; they can give you a hundred taels of gold with a single stroke.
The young man in the green robe took two chopsticks from the chopstick holder and picked up a meatball.
Yes, you read that right, there are meatballs in the bowl of noodles for the young man in the green robe.
Lu Xiaoyao stared intently at the plump, fragrant meatballs.
He couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Did you release the information?" The young man in the blue robe picked up another piece of beef.
During this time, having gotten rid of that money-devouring beast, he became much wealthier.
They dare to add extra ingredients to their noodles now.
So the young man in the blue robe learned his lesson.
When training apprentices, you should do it in the cheapest way and with the lowest food standards.
Otherwise, he'll be so filial he'll die.
"...I was just helping a friend, I didn't take any money." Lu Xiaoyao shook her head like a rattle drum.
He clutched the one or two ounces of gold tightly to his chest.
That was all her possessions.
In order to spread the word to Gu Mu, she rushed to the martial arts world.
The ever-victorious general in the courtyard was poisoned to death by some scoundrel, and his death was truly tragic.
This is also Lu Xiaoyao's retribution; she usually steals other people's fighting cocks.
Before she knew it, her fighting rooster was gone.
This cycle of revenge never ends... If we can find that scoundrel, Lu Xiaoyao will definitely teach him a lesson he won't forget.
"Aren't you afraid that if you spread false information, you'll be hunted down by the martial arts world?" The young man in the blue robe picked up a pig's trotter.
"..." Lu Xiaoyao: Can I roast the pursuers and eat them? ￥5￥#@@**（
"What are you daydreaming about?" The young man in the blue robe picked up another lamb leg.
"..." Lu Xiaoyao: I'm afraid I'll drool when I talk.
She buried the noodles in the bowl.
Then he said in a muffled voice, "The doctor said it's true."
If she were being hunted down, she could then conveniently pester the doctor for meals.
Okay, I'm craving it.
"We're unsure if the news is true or false, and we're not 100% certain, so let's wait and see," the young man in the green robe said calmly. Even if he didn't make the first move, he wasn't afraid of falling behind. "Right now, the Heartless Abandoned Woman, the bank, and Qingjian Mountain each have one. They probably also want to verify the authenticity of the entry order. Once they've reached a decision, we can sit back and reap the benefits."
The three fragments, each held in one hand, were just ordinary fragments.
Only when they are combined into one city entry token will they be able to perform their original function.
With the other six pieces still missing.
The first three fragments to appear should become the guiding stones for the Hidden City.
"I can't believe this is the work of a doctor," the young man in the blue robe thought to himself.
At the moment the Hidden City emerged, all sorts of people from the martial arts world flocked to the capital, which to some extent restricted the capital's actions.
Although the martial arts practitioners were wary of the imperial army, they maintained a peaceful coexistence.
But in some unseen corners, some bumps and bruises are inevitable.
This led to a turbulent and unstable situation in the capital.
This doctor is making such a big move; his ambition is truly impressive.
The young man in the green robe couldn't help but recall the scene of robbing someone in the woods and becoming the defeated opponent of that masked doctor.
I also heard that he really was a doctor, treating and saving lives in the military camp.
That's interesting, that's really interesting.
He looked at the little girl opposite him. At this moment, Lu Xiaoyao was looking at the plain noodles in front of her with a sad expression. Although it was very meager, she still ate it all up, not even leaving the soup behind.
The young man in green robes and his apprentice Lu Xiaoyao have been wandering the martial arts world for many years.
He had hardly ever seen Lu Xiaoyao show interest in anyone.
When they encounter admirers, they usually chase them away.
Then he made a statement, the gist of which was that even she couldn't beat him, yet he had the nerve to come and confess his feelings.
In the end, those admirers could only leave dejectedly.
This caused the young man in the blue robe to dislike this burden very much, but he couldn't get rid of it no matter what he did.
It's rare to see Lu Xiaoyao show any interest in that masked doctor.
He agreed to the marriage.
The young man in the blue robe tugged at his purse and gave a smile.
At that moment, Gu Mu, lying in bed, sneezed.
Is someone thinking about him?
But Gu Mu always felt like he'd been taken advantage of...
This made him very unhappy.
