Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 59

Lu Bu originally planned to take Xiuyuan and hide among the soldiers all the time, so as to find out the arrangement of Soochow soldiers and pass on the command codes.Unexpectedly, the sergeants of Wujun had strict laws and regulations, and after the completion of the team formation, the ten captains of each team began to line up to report the number one by one.Lu Bu had no choice but to watch for nothing, and led Xiuyuan to follow secretly along the small path. Although the soldiers of Wujun were not as strong as the Xiliang people, they all had clear eyes and firm will. What a unique way to train troops, Lu Bu nodded again and again as he watched from the sidelines.

Wujun and Jingzhou faced each other across the river, and the army pointed directly at the gate of Jingzhou City as soon as they crossed Jiangxia.I don't know what Zhuge Liang's plan was, but he gave up the natural danger of the Yangtze River for nothing and let the navy go ashore easily.Xiuyuan looked from afar, but in the misty night, he didn't see a single banner.

Zhou Yu has been standing on the mast of the bow, and his white silver helmet is particularly conspicuous in the dark night.Dozens of sword soldiers guarded him closely with solemn expressions.Since the departure of the army, Zhou Yu sent many soldiers to search for Lu Bu Xiuyuan, but naturally found nothing.In his heart, he secretly castigated Lu Bu's escape, but he couldn't see any clues on his face, obviously he didn't want to weaken his own momentum before the two armies fought.

Although it was a night attack, the navy troops in Wu County were all dressed in white, which stood out in the dark night.As soon as the army rushed to the opposite bank, a group of water archers and sword shield soldiers left behind to escort the ship. Xiu Yuan put an invisibility spell on Lu Bu, and the two stood behind the bushes, taking a panoramic view of the scene.Obviously, Zhou Yu's command at this time is determined, and his advances and retreats are well-founded, which is completely different from the childish impulse to question Xiu Yuan in front of the mourning hall last night.Xiu Yuan was startled, he really didn't expect Zhou Yu to be able to pretend to be so young at such a young age, and this scene last night was watched by many caring people.

Xiuyuan was thinking hard about Zhou Yu's purpose for doing this, but there was a sudden shout from the Soochow army, and two or three white talismans with willow branches shot towards Xiuyuan's hiding place at the same time.Lu Bu hurriedly raised his hand to draw a circle in front of Xiu Yuan, and those white talismans fell softly from the air as if they were soaked in water.A cold light flashed in the corner of Zhou Yu's eyes, but he spoke in a very respectful voice: "Sister-in-law, what did you find?"

"Gong Jin, be careful. Someone in the forest behind him used a Taoist spell to cover up his figure. The other party has a high level of cultivation, and he came out in a hurry in the middle of the night. I didn't bring anything with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with those people for a while. People." Da Qiao's phoenix eyes flew sideways, his face was like peaches and plums, but there was deep worry in his brows: "No matter who it is, following us secretly at this time, I am afraid it is a person with ulterior motives, tell the soldiers to go faster, don't What kind of moths are going to come out."

"Sister-in-law offended." Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, he placed Da Qiao on his horse neatly: "Since we have to march in a hurry, we don't care about many etiquettes." As the dust left, Xiu Yuan and Lu Bu emerged from the shadowy miscellaneous forest with a look of fear on his face: "I didn't expect that Da Qiao also entered the Taoist sect. Fortunately, Feng Xian reacted quickly. If he is discovered, although It’s not going to be dangerous, just a lot of troubles. We’d better just watch from a distance honestly.”

"Although what happened to Da Qiao was a bit of an accident, it is still being cleaned up. After all, that Zhangjiao ruined half of the Han Dynasty with his sorcery. Since the Jiangdong forces intend to compete, it is impossible for them to be completely defenseless against Taoist magic. " Lu Bu said as he put the dark red cloak on Xiu Yuan's shoulders with a gentle face.Xiu Yuan turned his head and met Lu Bu's eyes. Under the moonlight, Lu Bu's handsome eyebrows and eyes became more and more handsome.

The night is as cool as water, with a clear glow floating on the ground.Xiuyuan was not cold at all, and the mood disturbed by Da Qiao gradually settled down: "There are new wicker sticks on the white talisman, pagoda tree willows are all ghost trees, Da Qiao probably uses ghosts' techniques, if he is with Zhuge Liang I am afraid that we will not get any benefits. The Shu army has not moved at all. Zhuge Liang’s caution may have set some kind of trap in the city. Let’s go forward and meet a pair. If the situation is not right, we will Hurry back to Jiangxia City."

Lu Bu flew steadily in mid-air with his arms around Xiu Yuan's waist. Hearing this, he nodded his head heavily and subconsciously slowed down a bit.

About one house away from the gate of Jingzhou, there was the melodious sound of the piano floating in the moonlight.Xiuyuan's expression changed, and he talked to Lu Bu close to his ear: "Could it be that Zhuge Kongming is going to use that empty city plan now?"

Lu Bu brought Xiu Yuan down on the top of a nearby tree: "It's right here, I can almost see the movement in the city, but Qinghe, what is an empty city plan?"

"The so-called empty city plan is nothing more than a suspicious strategy. This man, who can't see his fingers, is still burning lamps and incense, sitting on the tower and playing the piano. No matter how you think about it, it looks like there is an ambush. If you are a suspicious person, it is difficult not to be afraid of the head and tail. "

"Zhuge Liang was wearing a light blue Taoist robe and sitting on the city tower, surrounded by many white paper lanterns, looking a little distracted. Zhou Yu stopped at the gate of the city with his army." Lu Bu looked carefully at the situation in the city, I'm talking to Xiu Yuan in detail.

A sharp note, like a sharp sword, interrupted Zhuge Liang's leisurely rhythm with murderous intent.Zhou Yu is proficient in rhythm, but he is like a tiger and a cat, picking up people's teeth.If the sound of Zhuge Liang's piano is elegant and dignified for tasting tea and appreciating the snow, then Zhou Yu's melody is the sound of gold and iron combining decisive battles with thousands of troops and horses.One is slow and slow, and the other is urgent and sharp, which are obviously tit for tat.Together with the sound of Zhou Yu's piano, the white paper lantern beside Zhuge Liang seemed to be disturbed by something. The flame flickered, stretching out the shadows of the few people on the tower, intertwined strangely, making the whole Jingzhou city look like a ghost. area.

Just as Lu Bu wanted to take a closer look, Da Qiao's gentle voice spread out in the dark night like flowing water. Although the voice was not loud, it firmly suppressed the sound of the piano on both sides: "Gong Jin's qin skills are really superb. Find out the enemy's flaws, Zhuge Kongming on the tower is just a dummy made of Yinming talisman paper, let's see my sister-in-law clear the way for you." Following Da Qiao's voice, three or two black shadows rushed towards the tower.The white paper lanterns around Zhuge Liang shook more and more, and even the candles in the lanterns dimmed a lot and were struggling on the verge of extinguishing.The black shadows turned into big blurry dogs as soon as they were illuminated by the flames, tearing and biting on the tower indiscriminately.

"Yin has yin, yang has yang, people and ghosts have different paths, and they go to different places!" The big dogs transformed by those black shadows twisted and rolled with Da Qiao's spell, and then merged into one place again, smashing the top of the tower with one bite. All the light was swallowed in, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.Zhou Yu drew his sword and waved the flag, and shouted: "Rush into the city."

In an instant, the shouts of killing were deafening, and the gate of Jingzhou City was opened wide.Lu Bu also took Xiu Yuan to get closer quietly, and before they sneaked into the city, things turned into nothingness.Those white paper lanterns that were originally engulfed by the black shadows summoned by Da Qiao exploded like fireworks in the night sky. As soon as the sparks fell into the city, they caused a huge explosion. Xiu Yuan tightly wrapped himself around Lu Bu's strong waist, his face pale, From fingers to toes trembling: "Feng Xian, Jingzhou City is indeed an empty city, but Zhuge Kongming's plan hurts Tianhe, the way of heaven is eternal, and he will reap the consequences in the future."

Lu Bu, who was used to the cruelty of the battlefield, looked at the stumped limbs and arms scattered around the city gate, and his face turned pale, and he nodded in agreement: "This empty city plan was a bad plan from the beginning. Zhou Yu's attack on the city will destroy everything forever. If you don’t fight, you’ll be making falsehoods and realities, and you’ll be sneaking into Chen Cang. Zhuge Kongming can bring people back to occupy Jingzhou again at dawn tomorrow. But I don’t know where the tens of thousands of people in the city have been transferred to.”

Xiu Yuan stared at the sky-high flames in the city and shook his head: "Most of the people in the city are hiding underground at this time. Zhuge Kongming's father-in-law has been operating in Jingzhou City for decades. According to the records in the novel, Kongming's wife Huang Yueying also Quite a genius, maybe he has already used the ingenuity mechanism to transport all the food, grass and supplies in the city. Even if Zhou Yu survives this time, he will lose half his life. If he gets angry again in the future, his body will be weak Wang really lost his soul."

"Xiuyuan is always talking about Shengyu and Shengliang in front of me, but today's battle has really fulfilled those secrets, so I really can't believe it." Lu Bu lowered his head with a smile, With the flames all over the sky, he pressed his scorching lips and tongue on Xiu Yuan's cold side face, and laughed half-truthfully.

Xiu Yuan tilted his head slightly, his breath was unstable when he was kissed by Lu Bu, and he still gritted his teeth and said, "Since there is such a big mess, let's go back to Xiliang quickly. Since Kong Ming has abandoned Jingzhou, he will go to Xichuan soon , I don’t know if Zhang Song has sent the topographic map now. The three-legged force has already begun to emerge. We only occupy a corner of Xiliang’s Pian’an. After all, there is no way. We have to go back early and discuss with Mr. Jia. .”

Seeing that Xiuyuan insisted, Lu Bu had no choice but to suppress his desire-hope and took Lu Bu to fly towards Jiangxia City.
