Free Web NovelIn the early morning, the wind chimes on the eaves rattled in the cold wind.
The clothes drying inside the house would occasionally be rustled by the wind that seeped in.
Strange, a certain local Southern Border style item seemed to be missing.
It was unknown whether a skilled thief had hidden it, or if there was a problem with some other step.
Ice Cube was still quietly complementing the jade phoenix god.
She wasn't going to the military camp today; it seemed she had reached a crucial point in her cultivation.
"That's strange."
"Why can't I upgrade yet?"
Walking out of the side room, Xiao Li put the Liujin Creation Seal into his System space and fell into deep thought.
It turned out that when it came to being aloof, Brother Monkey was truly the strongest.
The Creation Seal hadn't been stamped on again.
"Didn't I already comprehend the Somersault Cloud?"
Li Mo walked onto the street, casually ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) bought a Southern Border breakfast, and ate the fragrant and spicy pancake.
He walked towards the Qingmu Camp, deep in thought.
Indestructible Diamond was actually at Perfection, but its duration was related to his physique.
The Seventy-Two Transformations needed no further explanation.
So, was it because of the Somersault Cloud?
"The true Divine Might of the Somersault Cloud lies in its ability to traverse vast distances in an instant, covering a thousand miles in a single bound."
"I can only fly through the air now, which doesn't count as Perfection."
"It's not 'light' enough, and it's a bit too profound..."
Li Mo was brainstorming when he suddenly ran into a somewhat familiar figure halfway down the road.
Li Mo was startled, almost not recognizing him.
The person in front of him was disheveled, his clothes torn and blackened, yet his eyes were bright and spirited, and there was that familiar vigilance and inexplicable thieving aura...
Huang Donglai?!
"Donglai, has your part-time business expanded to the Beggar Sect? Your connections are too wide."
"Brother Li? Cough, I didn't expect you to be in Qingmu City as well."
Huang Donglai's eyes lit up, then he said with a bitter smile:
"To be honest, Brother Li, I was entrusted by someone to deliver a military report to the Qingmu Camp, and this is for convenience."
Li Mo nodded, the light of the Tianming Divine Eye in his eyes dissipated, and he said with a smile:
"So it's a part-time messenger job. Yesterday I was thinking of you. Commander Qu offered me a precious horse, but I didn't take it."
"???"
After all, not many people in this world remembered him, and Huang Donglai was originally quite moved.
If he hadn't heard the reason.
"Donglai, since the military report needs to be delivered to Commander Qu anyway, and your report is quite urgent, why don't you come into the camp with me?"
"That's exactly what I intended."
Li Mo led Huang Donglai, and the two entered the Qingmu Camp together. The patrolling soldiers, seeing it was Li Mo, let them pass without obstruction.
There were many types of Disaster Beasts in the Southern Border. He hadn't even finished demonstrating all of those in the Seventy-Two Transformations yesterday, and he was supposed to continue the military exercise today.
On the training ground today, corporals and squad leaders were already leading soldiers in specialized training, giving the entire camp a sense of bustling activity.
This scene, in Huang Donglai's eyes, gave him a sense of an impending storm.
"Brother Li, there will likely be a war in Qingmu City soon. You should make plans early and leave as soon as possible."
"War?"
Li Mo was startled, his brows furrowing. freewebnøvel.com
There hadn't been war in the Southern Border for many years, so why so suddenly...
He vaguely seemed to think of some possibility, his brows tightly furrowed, and he didn't answer Huang Donglai's question.
After a short while, the personal guard brought Commander Qu's reply, leading the two into the central military tent.
Inside the tent was a sandbox more than three zhang long and wide, with a map of Qingmu City on it. This should have been military confidential, and Qu Sheng could have found another place to meet the two, but for some reason, he still chose this spot.
Qu Sheng stood in front of the map, revealing a genial smile upon seeing the two:
"I heard from my personal guard that this friend of Li Shaoxia has an urgent military report?"
"Commander Qu, this humble commoner Huang Donglai..."
Huang Donglai handed over the letter, and after doing so, he felt a sense of relief.
Li Mo was somewhat curious about what this so-called military report was, but it wasn't appropriate for him to inquire, and his heart felt a little heavy.
Because he only saw Qu Sheng's expression becoming increasingly solemn.
"Have a seat."
Qu Sheng invited the two to sit down and personally poured them tea:
"This letter is very important. Thank you, righteous warrior, for traveling thousands of miles and risking your life to deliver it. No wonder you are Li Shaoxia's friend."
After saying that, he looked at Li Mo again, taking a deep breath:
"Go, leave Qingmu City."
Li Mo held his teacup and hastily asked, "Is the war in Qingmu City very serious?"
Qu Sheng looked at the map in a daze, no longer hiding his weary expression:
"These past few days, I have used the art of 'On War' to calculate the battle many times. At first, the chances of victory were only thirty percent, until your appearance, Li Shaoxia, when the chances exceeded fifty percent."
"Until I saw this letter today."
"Yes, I knew this war would happen long ago. A few days ago, I originally planned to have you and Little Marquis leave together, but at that time, in order to increase the chances of victory, I swallowed my words."
"I truly do not wish to see Qingmu City, which my brothers and the Prince built from nothing, every blade of grass and tree, reduced to ashes..."
"....."
Li Mo was silent for a moment.
Why did Qu Sheng know in advance?
heavenly divine jade.
He wasn't stupid; he just hadn't experienced war.
"Then what about you, Commander? If there's no chance of victory..."
"A clay pot will break at the well, and a general will inevitably die on the battlefield."
Qu Sheng refilled their teacups:
"Actually, many years ago, when I fought and killed that evil crocodile with the Prince, I should have died then."
"You two are different. Both of you are Dragons of Hidden Potential, young heroes, and there's a vast world waiting for you in the future."
"Go, if you delay any longer, you won't be able to leave."
Qu Sheng wearily cupped his hands towards the two.
Silence fell upon the tent once more, and the wind outside the window was particularly piercing.
At this moment, Huang Donglai spoke again:
"This letter was given to me by a scout in his dying moments. He should belong to the Qingmu Camp."
A bamboo plaque was placed on the table.
"Li Shaoxia, the person you are looking for is also here. There is nothing left for you to worry about in this place."
Leaving the central military tent.
Huang Donglai quietly asked, "Brother Li, are you alright?"
"I... Let's go. We're going to collect the pension for Lu Yi."
Li Mo shook his head, his eyes fixed.
He had only thought of achieving great deeds and displaying Divine Might on the battlefield.
But this military plaque, placed before his eyes, was so glaring.
Right, a clay pot will break at the well, and a general will inevitably die on the battlefield.
Isn't it normal for war to involve bloodshed and death?
He had never met this soldier named Lu Yi. Perhaps helping to send his pension home would fulfill his Karma?
But what if.
This war, was it caused by him?
About ten minutes later. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
The two arrived at the quartermaster's office, which was also a tent.
The quartermaster, upon seeing and collecting the military plaque, began to lay out copper coins one by one.
"Li Shaoxia, that's all there is."
"Only this much?"
"The imperial court indeed had regulations for twelve taels of silver for a fallen soldier's pension, but here, we are far from the emperor, and the military pay is still disbursed by the Prince from his private funds..."
Forty or so copper coins, each polished smooth and shiny.
They reflected the young man's pale face.
