Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Lu Ci happened to raise his eyes at this moment, glanced in the direction of Li Lizun, and accidentally took in the scene of Li Lizun's death on the spot.

Because of the force of the three feathered arrows, they precisely hit the small part of the neck between the gaps in the armor, causing Li Lizun, who was shot through the trachea, to fall to the ground before he even had time to let out a scream.

Perhaps it was because of the majestic three deadly arrows. In Lu Ci's eyes, the figure of the tall and burly Tubo general lost his strength and fell...

She looked so weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Lu Ci calmly stopped giving further instructions to Li Chao, and blinked vigorously.

Isn't it an illusion caused by too thick smoke?

Lu Ci's face was calm, but there was already a storm in his heart.

He knew very well that if the news of the death of the enemy's commander-in-chief was spread, the Tubo soldiers who had already suffered heavy casualties due to the fierce power of the bamboo muskets would be distraught and terrified. The enemy soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit are completely harvested.

but--

who did it?

Knowing that he should give Li Chao an order immediately, Lu Ci was speechless for a moment.

After a fleeting moment of confusion, he suddenly turned around and looked firmly in Di Qing's direction.

Keenly aware of the scrutinizing gaze, Di Qing turned his head without hesitation and returned a cold and sharp glance.

Lu Ci was stunned.

After several years of getting along, it can be said that he is used to seeing Di Qing's expression of shyness, composure, or even panic.

But such a proud and stern appearance has never been seen before.

After all, it was the first time, even though Di Qing had always been calm and stable, it was inevitable that he was still immersed in the aftertaste of having hibernated for a long time and successfully captured the life of the enemy general.

Even though the surface still managed to maintain the illusion of being as calm as water, the fingertips kept trembling slightly because of the uncontrollable excitement.

Although he was [-]% sure that Li Lizun, who was shot in the neck by three arrows at the same time, was almost certain to die, but the tight string in his body still did not relax.

When he saw the frightened Tubo lieutenants getting off their horses without even thinking about it to check Li Lizun's situation after being shocked, he made a decisive decision, casually took a half-wasted arrow of Broken Feather and reloaded it, and aimed at those people shot in the direction.

After all, it was just a broken arrow, no matter in terms of accuracy or power, it was much weaker than the killing blow that had been prepared for a long time.

Only relying on Di Qing's own superb archery skills, he fell tremblingly at a position extremely close to those people.

However, it was this that made Di Qing very annoyed, and when he failed because he had no arrows to use, he was regarded as a bright deterrent by those who had lingering fears, and he was immediately scared out of his wits.

Are you kidding me, even the commander in solid armor and surrounded by a group of guards was killed by the ghostly three arrows, they are also flesh and blood, can they survive?

Seeing that Li Lizun's body was motionless, his chest didn't heave at all, and the remaining loyalty was completely overwhelmed by worry, several people looked at each other tacitly, and they all rode back, lest the next unlucky one would be themselves. .

Unexpectedly, Di Qing suffers from having no arrows to use, and even if he wants to chase after him, he can't.

After admitting that they had brushed shoulders with the catastrophe of killing their lives, several people breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately couldn't help but feel full of sorrow for their own bleak future.

Li Lunbu, who had been following him all along, died before he was born, and the future Hehuang Tubo was destined to be overshadowed by Wen Buqi.

As the loyal and loyal old department of Lunbu, after they go back, where will they have any good fruit to eat?

Rather than avenging Lunbu, continuing to fight against the hard-to-understand Qinzhou... It is better to restrain the remnant soldiers, try to reduce the loss, and then divide up the troops.

It is also impossible to return to Tubo: it is better to establish a branch and go their own way.

Di Qing didn't know that those lieutenant generals had completely forgotten about Li Lizun, who was still dead, and decided to carve up the remnants of the soldiers and flee separately.

He frowned, staring at the figure with his back to the city wall galloping further and further, becoming more and more annoyed.

He knew that it was a great opportunity just now, but because he had no arrows to use, he could only watch in a hurry, and now he watched helplessly as the meat from his mouth ran away, and he inevitably felt a big fire.

Because of this, when he caught an undisguised peeping gaze, the remaining ferocity in his heart did not dissipate, and he suddenly met Lu Ci's.

Di Qing: "..."

Amid thousands of troops, the two looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing Di Qing's unexpected and murderous side, Lu Ci was immediately interested in discovering new things after a short moment of astonishment.

The corners of his lips are slightly raised, the corners of his eyes and brows are raised slightly playfully, and the sparkles in his eyes are flowing.

——I thought it was an honest and easy to bully Di bastard, but looking at it now, why does it look more like a little wolf cub with a rabbit skin on his head?

Naturally, Di Qing couldn't be as old-fashioned as Lu Ci.

As soon as he met Shanggongzu's eyes that gradually became meaningful, the anger that was stirring and boiling in his heart just now suddenly leaked like a cowhide bag with dozens of small holes in it. Be clean.

It's strange to say that he obviously didn't do anything wrong, but he couldn't help feeling guilty when he was stared at.

Even though he tried his best to keep calm, he was quickly defeated by those beautiful eyes.

His eyes were quickly stained with anxiety, and he almost lost his grip on the crossbow in his hand.

Seeing his languid appearance in an instant, Lu Ci smiled even wider.

——If it weren't for seeing that Di Qing was already panicking and the timing was wrong, he would definitely have to catch and tease him again.

A pity, a pity.

Lu Ci slightly sighed regretfully.

Whether it was business or not, he let go of investigating Di Qing for the time being, and issued a new military order to Li Chao, who was still unaware of the sudden change in the Tubo Central Army.

When he heard Lu Ci's words, Li Chao's first reaction was a blank blank face, and he turned his head suddenly, searching for the conspicuous figure of Li Lizun.

This is not the case: when the battle is at its most intense and soldiers are fighting bloody battles, there are very few people who will notice the movement of the enemy's central army that has been standing still.

What's more, apart from Di Qing, who is the 'initiator', how could anyone have expected that Li Lizun, who had made waves in Tubo for many years and was now in a high position, would die in such a muddle?

——If Li Lizunquan, who was still bitter about his defeat at the hands of Lu Ci, a fledgling civil servant, would know that he was finally killed at the hands of Di Qing, a truly unknown soldier, he would be so scared that he would come alive .

When Li Chao was sure that what Lu Ci said was true or false, he immediately let go of his usual calm and steady image, and roared with excitement.

Even if the soldiers around him were taken aback, he didn't care. He pointed out the most elite battalion, and led a group of soldiers who hadn't figured out the situation but were determined to carry out the military order, opened the city gate, and chased them out. .

If it was changed to before, Di Qing would definitely be affected by this surging momentum, even though he knew that his father-in-law probably wouldn't let him, he still couldn't help asking for his order to go out.

... But after being sized up by his grandfather with a smile that was not a smile, he was still flustered, and naturally he lost his energy.

He silently packed up the crossbow, put on the bow of the divine arm, and walked in the direction of Lu Ci with a horizontal heart.

Seeing him approaching with a serious face, Lu Ci couldn't help laughing, and before he could speak, he patted him on the shoulder first, and agreed in advance with a smile: "If you really want to go, it's okay."

It's just that, in the case of the general's soul disappearing on the spot, the Tubo army is destined to become a mess.

Leading troops to attack now is nothing more than harvesting a group of remnants who have no fighting spirit and defeating generals, and accumulating some military exploits.

Di Qing subconsciously nodded, then hurriedly shook her head and said, "I'm not going."

To put it bluntly, everyone can do this simple finishing task of accumulating military merits, and if he really goes to fight for it, he will definitely be able to grab a lot.

But after following Gongzu for so many years, seeing how Gongzu dealt with people, he was influenced by what he heard and saw, and he also knew a little bit about the world.

If a person takes advantage of all the benefits, even if his martial arts are world-class, he is destined not to be far from unlucky days.

Marching and fighting is never something that one person can deal with.

Although Di Qing was shaken by Li Chao's roar and aroused his fighting spirit, but after only a short while, his mind cleared up.

For example, if there hadn't been for the bamboo firearms controlled by other sergeants to show off their prestige and prestige, allowing Li Lizun to have a loophole under the chaos of his mind, it would be extremely difficult for him to kill with one blow.

Let's talk about love again: I trained with the sergeants in the barracks for such a long time, although I was able to get in because of my father-in-law's face, but I also received extra care.

He is not a member of the army, and his main ambition is to make tributes. He does not rely on these advancements to get promoted, so why greedily compete with the soldiers for these useless achievements?

Before Lu Ci could start teasing again, Di Qing said in a serious manner: "What the grandfather wants to say... Qing understands."

Lu Ci smiled.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, couldn't help pinching the serious face of the other party, and said with a smile: "Your three-star Lianzhu just now is simply shocking, you have made great achievements, and you are destined to steal the limelight, no one can overshadow it You go, you really don't need to join in the fun anymore."

If it were someone else, this beautifully fought battle of using less to win more would definitely be used to make a big fuss, and he would not give up if he boasted that he could wipe out a hundred thousand captives in the blink of an eye.

As for the sergeants who have really made great contributions, who were born and died, and the craftsmen who painstakingly developed military weapons, if they can get two or three points of the credit, it is not bad.

Lu Ci is different.

Although he didn't promise anyone, or even mentioned half a word, he had already made up his mind early on, whose merits should be attributed to, and then he would report all the credits.

He will not deliberately miss the preparation process that he presides over, but he will never steal the glory that the soldiers who fought bloody battles deserve.

If a civil servant under his command dared to do this secretly, he would definitely teach the other party an unforgettable lesson—even if he stole even a tiny bit, he would feel extremely ashamed.

Di Qing's face was blushing, and he muttered speechlessly, not knowing whether it was because of being pinched, or because of embarrassment.

Just when he was thinking about what to say next, Lu Ci was still smiling, but suddenly said lightly: "...But until today, I didn't know that the one raised at home can be hired with only a letter from home. The little raccoon slave who came here seems to be quite vicious?"

Di Qing: "——!!!"
