Chapter 23: Throwing the pot

Teng Yuan took a few sips of water from a soldier, and said in a hoarse voice, "Only these people are still alive?"

The soldier looked around and muttered, "Lord Hui Admiral, the brothers have searched in that wilderness, and the rest of the people are indeed here." ”

Although Tengyuan tried his best to maintain his calm expression, he looked closely and his whole person was trembling, which showed that his heart was experiencing a monstrous wave.

"More than 100 warriors went out to fight, but they just went into the mountains to fight a tiger, but they didn't even see a single tiger hair, so there are less than 40 people left who are now old, weak, sick and disabled?"

"Last night's Misty Desert Village was too weird and terrifying, no one would believe it when you said it, and it felt like a ...... It's like I've been facing a great grandmaster-level master at close range, and even my thoughts have become sluggish and sluggish under mental oppression, even me, let alone ordinary people like them. ”

"But even if it is such a rare master in the world who does it with all his might, it can only affect a few people around him, how can there be such a large scope and include so many people to enter?"

A series of thoughts flashed through Tengyuan's mind, making him irritable and just want to draw his knife and slash indiscriminately.

Gu Juan hid behind the tall body of Han Xiong in the crowd and remained motionless and silent, so as not to be angered by Tengyuan, who was on the verge of collapse.

Speaking of this, he was the first to mention in front of Tengyuan that there were tigers in the mountains, invulnerable to bite and eat people.

But he didn't expect this beast to suddenly become so powerful.

That tiger is not surnamed Uchiha, how can he have such an awesome talent for illusion, and directly a super-large "illusion" trapped more than a hundred people in it, and in the end, more than half of them have not seen anyone alive or dead until now.

This is the style of the ninja world, but it is not the style of the low-martial arts world.

Xu Yuan, who was resting on the side, recovered a little at this time, and even comforted Teng Yuan in a rare way, "Vice General Teng, although I am still dizzy until now, I can't remember what happened, but now we are all alive, this is the great luck in misfortune." ”

"Huh!?" Teng Yuan immediately turned his head and glared.

Xu Yuan sighed, "Vice General Teng, what I said is not cold, I have never experienced such a dangerous situation, and then vaguely remember that the soldiers died for me, I feel very sad in my heart." ”

Tengyuan was silent, just sighed heavily.

His heart was already in turmoil, not only because of the heavy casualties in the team, but also because he was different from the pampered Xu Yuan, he would not be sad and sad because some people died, after all, he was born in the army, how can there be a reason for immortals to march and fight?

What really worries Teng Yuan is what he is about to face later, for a military general like him who has managed to get to his current position with great difficulty, the next thing is the beginning of the dark day.

"My lord, I met a company of passers-by a few miles away, and asked for a little dry food from them. ”

When Teng Yuan was thinking wildly, two soldiers rushed back from the fork in the official road, carrying a package, and knelt down on one knee to report to him.

"I'm not hungry, take some of the things to the son, and you can divide the rest." ”

"Your Excellency, you have just received some news from the merchants. The other soldier looked up, his expression a little strange.

Tengyuan frowned slightly, motioning for him to continue.

"My lord, the merchants say, 'Today is the twenty-sixth of July.' ”

"What!?" Teng Yuan stood up abruptly and grabbed the soldier's clothes, "You say it again?"

"My lord, they did say that today is the twenty-sixth of July, and they were equally surprised at the time, and asked twice more. ”

"July 26, July 26......" Tengyuan muttered to himself, and finally suddenly raised his voice, "So, we thought we were trapped all night, but in fact, two and a half days have passed!?"

"Shhh

All around, there was a sound of gasp.

After Tengyuan's mood calmed down, Gu Juan slowly came to his side.

"Lord Teng. ”

Tengyuan glanced at him, but he didn't mean to talk.

Gu Juan didn't care, but got closer, "Is Lord Teng anxious about what will happen after returning home?"

Tengyuan's body was shocked, and this time he finally turned his head completely to look, but his hand also touched the handle of the knife.

Gu Juan frowned secretly, he didn't want to come to find Tengyuan at this time, but if he didn't look for it now, it would be too late to return to Nanli County.

He is the same as Spiegel in his heart, if he allows the situation to develop, it will definitely be cold to go back, and if he is unlucky, he may even be stripped of his official body and put in prison.

But that would do him more harm than good.

Now, in the entire team, there may be only one and a half people who will be safe and sound in the subsequent storm.

A person is Xu Yuan, and his identity as a son is a natural haven, especially this kind of big or small thing, when he gets there, it will definitely turn big things into small things.

The other half of the person is Luosheng, Gu Juan doesn't know what her background is, but she is mysterious and secretive, and Xu Yuan values it so much, maybe there will be a means to get out without hindrance.

The rest of these people will be miserable.

The Great Wei military law is strict, up to Deputy General Teng, down to Wu Chang's soldiers, plus he is such a dart master guide, one is counted as one, and no one can escape the ending of being questioned and questioned.

If you are a little unlucky, you will be punished by the fate, and you can't hide if you want to.

Gu Juan did not leave the brigade just like that, and he had no intention of sneaking away alone, from beginning to end.

As long as he dares to go, there will definitely be a big piece of him in the black cauldron behind him, and it is definitely the largest and blackest piece.

What's more, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

If he becomes a guilty body, even if he slips away, he can slip away.

Unless you escape into the mountains and forests and be with the white tiger, but in that case, it is better to be put in prison, eat and drink for a while, and then go to the guillotine.

Therefore, he had to rack his brains to make things as smooth as possible, and at least not let the worst happen.

"Lord Teng is worried about how to report to Commander Li and the above after he returns?"

Gu Juan walked closer and closer to Tengyuan, and his voice was also very low, only the two of them could hear it.

Tengyuan snorted in his nose, but still didn't answer.

Gu Juan sighed, and then said, "We have experienced such a terrifying and strange thing, and it took us nine deaths to escape with our lives, which is an ironclad fact. ”

"But in this world, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is even more difficult to compare hearts and empathy in the position of others, is it even more difficult to empathize, is this the truth that Lord Teng said?"

Tengyuan finally responded this time, "You can say what you want to say directly, I'm a rough person and don't like to go around in circles." ”
