Chapter 314: Gu Lie explores and discovers a strange aura

Qin Gu?!

Blood? Why is it blood?

"Your arm?"

Qin Gu's fingers trembled, and even his whole body was shaking.

"Sorry, Your Highness, I scared you, I'm fine, actually the other brothers are worse off than me."

"The state of death..."

The soldier forced back the words that followed.

It's not that he doesn't dare to speak, but this kind of tragedy is like a scar; once uncovered, it's a bloody mess, with nothing left to say.

Qin Gu's fingers kept trembling, and his eyes stared straight at the soldier's wound.

"No, it's not your fault."

"It's my mistake… if I hadn't misjudged…"

Qin Gu's face turned pale; he raised his hand to cover his head, and bright red bloodstains kept flashing before his eyes.

Like worms, they coiled around them.

They controlled him, leaving him no chance to escape.

"Go quickly find a doctor to bandage it; if this continues, you'll lose that arm."

The soldier shook his head: "My arm has no feeling anymore."

"I'm still okay among these soldiers, so I came to report the information."

"Your Highness, don't blame yourself; without you, we probably wouldn't have any survivors."

The soldier spoke to comfort him.

His expression, soaked in blood, became dazed.

He extended his uninjured left hand and lightly pressed it on Qin Gu's arm.

"Your Highness, the right flank needs people; if this continues, they won't hold either."

"I…" Qin Gu nodded, his gaze shifting from sorrow to resolve: "Go rest quickly; I'll arrange people to go."

"Wait, I'll lead the way."

The soldier's eyes burned with intensity.

"No, your wound hasn't healed yet."

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I'm fine; my arm has no feeling. Their location is rather remote, I know the situation, so let me lead the way—it's perfect."

"No!"

The Crown Prince and Gu Lie spoke at the same time.

The two glanced at each other, then Qin Gu continued: "No, do you know your condition?"

"Your whole body has been severely wounded; you've made it here only through sheer will."

"You must go back and rest properly; I'll take care of the rest."

"But…" the soldier was about to explain, but the Crown Prince Qin Gu cut him off: "You must obey me; come, take him away."

Soldier??

"No, Your Highness, listen to me."

"He doesn't want to go to the rear; he wants to go to the battlefield."

"He wants to fight."

"Even if he loses his life, he will spare nothing."

The soldier struggled, wanting to speak out.

But when it reached his mouth, it became a choking sound.

Yes, the soldier was lifted down by the muscle doctor against his will.

It gave him no chance to resist.

Soldier…

"He's a patient, and you treat him like this?"

"Wu wu wu~"

"Crown Prince Qin Gu, I think you'd be better off in the rear; we'll go ahead and check the front."

"No, the front is too dangerous; I'll send people to follow."

Kang Linfei waved his hand: "No need, no need; let Xiao Ya and Gu Lie go, I'll stay with you in the rear to eat melons."

Qin Gu??

"What does that mean? What's 'eating melons'?"

"You guys aren't planning to take action?"

"Or are you just overconfident in your own strength?"

"Obviously it's the latter."

"I want to remind everyone, Xiao Yinghua's weapons are not ordinary; do not underestimate the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lie hammered his chest with a confident look and said: "Rest assured, I will definitely arrange everything properly."

"It's just Xiao Yinghua; the stuff I brought is many times stronger than theirs."

Qin Gu?

"Wait, did he mishear?"

"How is this guy bragging?"

Kang Linfei saw Qin Gu doubting, reached out and patted his arm.

He shook his head: "What if you don't believe? This is your only method."

Kang Linfei's meaning was clear: you don't believe, but you must believe.

Believe, and you must believe.

All right, he chose to believe.

"Then please be careful, everyone; if you need anything, you can freely let us know."

Gu Lie, upon hearing, turned his head to look at Kang Linfei.

Kang Linfei gave a light cough.

His face cold, yet he spoke very seriously: "Our soldiers only brought part of the food; please, Crown Prince, help prepare some more."

"Okay."

Qin Gu nodded.

"This time let Qingbei's go; these people are all fledgling hawks who have never been on the battlefield."

"Sooner or later they'll have to kill someone."

Kang Linfei looked at Gu Lie and directly proposed.

Upon hearing, Gu Lie quickly shook his head: "No, Qingbei are all fledglings; if those people go to the battlefield, are you sure they won't be scared away?"

"Fledglings are fledglings; sooner or later they must grow—let them go to the battlefield, how good would that be for their growth?"

"Kang Linfei, are you stupid? With this arrangement, if they die, what will their families do?"

Kang Linfei...

That makes sense, but not much.

Li Kui???

Xiao Ya???

Are you chatting and not bringing them?

At least they're teammates too.

Upon hearing, Qin Gu also wanted to remind Gu Lie and Kang Linfei, to remind them that there are still others.

As a result, the two argued more and more fiercely.

They were almost face to face, spitting in a verbal battle.

At the critical moment, the Crown Prince was still reliable.

Immediately he called Li Kui to help grab the other party.

Li Kui...

"Mr. Gu Lie, have you forgotten us?"

Gu Lie spoke, and in an instant, four gazes fell directly on Li Kui.

Li Kui instinctively swallowed his saliva.

Indeed, I spoke wrongly.

"Li Kui, you cannot lightly intervene in this matter."

Gu Lie suddenly suppressed his violent temper and spoke sternly: "Do you know what the consequences are for you cultivators appearing here?"

Xiao Ya seemed to think of something and quickly said: "It's because of that weapon!"

Gu Lie nodded.

He cannot let his people venture into known danger.

Even if that person disrespects him.

Li Kui...

That makes sense; I had looked down on them before coming.

Indeed, anyone has weaknesses and also good points.

"This time you should not appear for now; let us go check first."

"Okay."

Li Ya and Gu Lie nodded.

They originally did not want to go this time.

This is a good opportunity to scout the enemy's situation through this battle.

Thus, Gu Lie led his people toward the battle.

Kang Linfei is no longer young; still, let him lead Qingbei to guard the vicinity.

The wind swayed gently.

It blew on the continually marching soldiers.

They were recently established, comprising infantry, navy, heavy armor, etc.

And there is a cultivation army.

Various armies formed a redundant, messy formation.

They are all elites from various places.

Because this battle is relatively dangerous, Lu Yuan had people gather part of the troops and come here.

Of course, this is not all the elites.

Moreover, there are individually outstanding individuals still garrisoning the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As the wind blew again, their footprints were stretched long.

Waves of bloody smell assailed the nose.

The soldiers behind Gu Lie quickly advanced, surrounding him.

Gu Lie???

"The smell of blood here is so strong? Did the battle just end?" (End of chapter)
