"Who?" he hissed. Although his voice was stiff and hoarse, at least he could finally speak again.

Li Keyong still had a high fever and completely lost the concept of time. How long did he sleep? He didn't remember at all, but only remembered waking up in a daze, and then fell asleep in a daze. He was too weak, so weak that he was speechless.

"Who?" he shouted again, trying to be louder, louder and more imposing.

The light of the torch overflowed from the dilapidated cave, finally giving this dark and humid cave a hint of warmth.

A black shadow slowly walked towards him, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Li Keyong was once fearless. He started to go to the battlefield with his father since he was twelve years old. On the battlefield, he galloped and charged again and again, stabbed the enemy one by one and trampled into mud! But at this time, in this completely unknown small cave, he was extremely weak and without the power of pride, and he could not even stand up. Loneliness and fear coiled in his heart. He didn't want to die in this broken cave, he didn't want to die in obscurity and worthless.

He is Shatu's king, and this is not the ending he should have!

The other party finally walked into the cave, and the glory of the torch illuminated the place.

"Wang, are you awake?" The visitor dragged a lame leg, with a circle of stained rags wrapped around his legs, emitting an unpleasant fishy smell. Although this man stained the same stains as the rag, Li Keyong still recognized this man as one of his own crow soldiers. This was a brave archer who could pass through a hundred steps and shoot down the geese flying in the sky with one arrow. But at this moment, this best archer dragged one leg, covered in blood, his eyes were covered in blood, and his face was pale.

"The wound on your face has been better!" Mi Rong shouted happily. The best archer was called Mi Rong. Li Keyong remembered it very clearly that he was not actually a real Shatu, but a Sogdian. He followed them from the Western Regions for thousands of miles to join the Tang Dynasty.

Li Keyong followed his gaze and reached out to his face, where there was a huge scar. From his left eye to his chin, he passed through his broken nose. The flesh was not grown and turned outside. His hands were warm. "This was the one slashed by Mo Dao. If Lao Hei hadn't rushed forward and knocked away that guy, this knife would have crushed my head!"

He remembered the source of this wound. After the day when he was in trouble, he led his troops to break through the siege. Unfortunately, Li Jing set up a ten-side ambush. No matter where he broke through, the Qin army would always intercept him. This knife was a young Qin soldier who was only about sixteen or seventeen years old. The guy looked like a young young man who had just started on the battlefield, but when he drove his horse over, he thought he would retreat and dodge, but the guy finally didn't dodge or avoid, but instead slashed his sword. He was not afraid of his charge at all.

If another personal soldier hadn't bumped away that guy at that time, Li Keyong would have died in an unknown soldier for the rest of his life. Although the guy died under his horse's hooves in the end, Li Keyong still respected this little guy very much. As expected, no one in the Qin army should underestimate him.

Mi Rong held a torch in one hand and carried a few charred things in the other.

"You are still following me, and they are leaving?" Li Keyong asked with a wry smile, but just after he smiled, he touched the wound on his face, which made him so painful that he wanted to roll. When he woke up in a coma last time, he remembered that there were thirteen people around him, all of whom were his Black Crow Guards.

"They went outside to order hunting and found out the news smoothly." Mi Rong replied, "The king was seriously injured and had a fever again. He had to get some meat to replenish his body."

"How many days have I been in a coma this time?"

"Four days!" Mi Rong said, "The king burned so hard, thanks to Lao Kang picking an old mountain ginseng. It has been ten days since he met a burial! The damn Qin soldiers are still searching everywhere."

"I won't die so easily! Damn Li Jing, I'm not going to be with him!" Li Ke shouted loudly, and then touched the wound on his face, which made him grin.

It has been ten days since Li Keyong is still a little reluctant to think about the situation outside now. It is necessary to know that it is a mess outside. He had an affair at Zhigu Pass that day, and it goes without saying that Zhigu Pass must have fallen. He has not asked about Naogu Pass until now, nor has he asked his wife about it, because he is afraid that the bad result of hearing his guess will be confirmed.

Damn, he has never encountered such a tragic failure since he went to the battlefield at the age of twelve.

"What's the thing you're carrying?"

Mi Ronglie smiled, "This is a bat. There is a hole not far away, and there are many. Lao Kang and his friends went out yesterday and didn't come back. They said they planned to go to the foot of the mountain to find out the news. Before leaving, they got some bats to stay."

Li Ke held the hay mat with his hands, wriggled back a few inches, and put his head on, "Give me one too!"

When he woke up this time, he finally subsided. Perhaps it was because of the effect of the ginseng root. Although it was still weak, he obviously felt he was recovering. He really wanted to eat now!

"Are the king hungry? Then I will go to boil water. When Lao Kang left, he left a rabbit for the king. I will go to roast it now."

"No, just give me a bat." Li Keyong insisted. It is still in danger now, so it is best not to burn the fire.

Mi Rong handed him a bat, and Li Keyong took it and bit it directly on the bat, sucking a large mouthful of blood first. Although the blood was ice and extremely stimulating into his throat, it made him feel a trace of strength recovering. After a pause, he began to bite the bat with his teeth, just as if he was fighting the corpse of the bat.

Li Keyong looked at Mi Rong who was surprised and looked at him, "For survival!" Three thousand people, and in the end, only thirteen people fled with him.

"There must be someone who escapes like us. If we can find them, we will have more strength to protect ourselves." Li Keyong said.

"Old Kang and the others said the same thing. At that time, you were seriously injured and fainted. The Qin army chased him everywhere. We ran around and ran away. In the end, only thirteen of us were left to protect the king. General Shi was killed in battle. I saw with my own eyes a general in the Qin army who used an iron spear pierced General Shi's chest, picked him up, threw him on the ground, and finally stepped by the war horse."

"Who else has died?"

"Many." Mi Rong said. "At that time, the Qin army suddenly came out. Although the brothers fought to the death, these ghosts had the strongest armor, the fastest horses, the most powerful swords, and those fierce bombs. This was unfair. Li Jing fought less with more. Not only ambushing, but also using firearms. If it was one-on-one, we would never lose to them with the same equipment."

"What war emphasizes is unfairness. This time I was fooled and I will admit defeat. I will suffer a loss and gain a memory. Next time, I will never give Li Jing such a chance."

After chatting with Mi Rong for a while, Li Keyong went to bed again.

By the time he was woken up again, it was already midnight.

The twelve people who left to inquire and hunt came back five, but the others had not come back yet. Those who came back brought back a few hares and a wild deer, and brought back a lot of news from outside.

"The Qin army is still searching everywhere. Many brothers who broke through that day were found, and the heads of the brothers were executed on the road at the foot of the mountain." Lao Kang reported with red eyes and clenched his fists.

"Is there any news about Lingqiu City?" Li Keyong asked.

"General Cheng Huaiyi, the day after we were in vain, brought his troops to defend Lingqiu City and retreated to Taixi Pass. I heard at the foot of the mountain that the entire Weizhou has now fallen into the hands of the Qin army. Lingqiu, Feihu, Black Stone Fort, Zijing Pass, Zhigu Pass, all in the hands of the Qin army." Lao Kang replied.

Li Keyong touched the flesh that was turning up from the scars on his face, and his heart became colder. Feihu Xing and Puyin Xing were indeed captured by the Qin army as he expected. Although he was unwilling to believe it, this is the truth.

"The soldiers and horses in Hebei are blocked in Yizhou, right?" Li Keying's tone was cold.

"Yes, the Qin army captured Zijing Pass first. I heard that Wang Jingchong and General Li Sizhao led their troops to attack Zijing Pass for several days, but they could not stop. Then Cheng German army suddenly withdrew, and finally General Li Sizhao also withdrew to Yizhou."

Li Keyong sighed, "It is probably Li Jing's late call to launch, and the Qin army in Hejian was dispatched, and Wang Jingchong's old nest was threatened, so he retreated."

The reinforcements from Hebei are now completely hopeless.

After a moment of silence, Li Keyong finally couldn't help asking, "Do you know what happened to Naogu Pass?"

Lao Kang looked at Li Keyong, lowered his head, and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Is it because Li Kening surrendered to Li Jing?" Li Keyong asked. Not many of his brothers could bear the heavy burden.

"No." Lao Kang said hesitantly, "In fact, the Qin army sent a side army to take a small path that day, first attacked three military camps, and then raided Zhigu Pass from behind. At that time, General Li Kening fought to the death and was captured in his battles."

"How many tens of thousands of people can't hold on for a day?" Li Keyong said disappointed.

"In fact, there were only more than 20,000 troops in Guanzhong at that time, and there were only 5,000 real soldiers, and the rest were all young and strong." Lao Kang said the truth.

"What's going on? My wife reinforced Zhigu Pass from Yanmen. At that time, she should have at least 20,000 soldiers removed from the auxiliary soldiers in the pass. Where did those soldiers go?" Li Keyong was confused.

Lao Kang lowered his head and whispered: "The other 15,000 troops were taken out of the pass by his wife. When the Qin army attacked Zhigu Pass, his wife was not in the pass."

"Where is that lady now?"

"My wife led her 15,000 troops to surrender to Li Jing." Lao Kang replied.

"This is impossible. Wherever you heard the news, this must be fake."

"We have been inquiring outside for a long time, and the news we heard gathered together. In more detail, the wife led 15,000 troops to ambush the north of Zhigu Pass at that time, and wanted to ambush Li Jing. General Li Kening led 5,000 troops to stay at Zhigu Pass. As a result, Li Jing sent a surprise soldier to attack Zhigu Pass on the path, and then Li Jing sent troops to block his wife in the valley and surrounded her. In the end, the wife did not fight with Li Jing, but directly led the entire army to surrender to Li Jing. Now the wife is in the Qin army in Zhigu Pass."

"This is impossible!" Li Ke sat up with a roar, the scars on his face cracked, and blood gushed out, making his whole body extremely ferocious. "This must be Li Jing's trick, this is a scheming, this is a rumor, and the lady will never treat me like this!"

The people in the cave did not speak, not knowing what to say, and they were willing to believe the wife, but now the news spread outside was that the wife surrendered to Li Jing directly. Moreover, in order to confirm the matter, Lao Kang took a special risk to go to the valley to check. There was indeed no trace of war there. Near Zhigu Pass, he also saw the camp of his wife's wife's camp, which was next to the Qin army.

After a long time, Li Keyong calmed down and asked hoarsely: "Is there any news about Yanmen?"

"Yes." Lao Kang replied immediately, "We heard the news from Yanmen. It was good news. The three Datong ministries took the opportunity to send troops to Yanmen before. As a result, General Li Siyuan led his troops to arrive and set up a strange plan to defeat the three troops and launch a large-scale counterattack. Not only did he defeat the three units and 60,000 troops, but he also captured the two Yunshuo Prefectures of the Datong military."

"Is this true?" Finally, Li Keyi felt great comfort and felt much more relaxed.

"There should be no mistake. The news also said that General Li Siyuan captured Shi Jingcun alive and beheaded him at the Yunzhou cockfighting platform."

"Okay, it's great. If God doesn't destroy me, Li Jing would never have imagined that the three pieces of Datong have been broken by Siyuan, and they have also captured the two states of Datong Yunshuo. It's great!" Li Keyong swung his fist excitedly.

"King, there is another news."

"Say!" Li Keyong said with a smile.

"General Li Siyuan detained General Li Cunxin, and then received the recommendation of the generals. He temporarily served as the commander of Shatuo, temporarily took over Shatuo's affairs, and commanded Shatuo's troops!"
