Chapter 160
Lin Kui's face did not look too good, he gritted his teeth and replied: “Of course I'm not afraid!”
He paused, then said: “But Tu Ge challenged you, it's not my turn to go up!”
Huo Jun chuckled, “It doesn't matter if you go up. If he can't even beat you, then there is no need for me to take action.”
Lin Kui retorted: “On what basis do you think you must be stronger than me? And why should I fight on your behalf?!”
Huo Jun said: “Because I'm your superior, the deputy commander of the Northwestern Army. I order you to go, so you have to go, military orders are like mountains!”
Lin Kui took two steps back, then stopped, as if he had made some decision, and said: “Fine, I'll go fight him!”
Qin Zhao saw that his legs were shaking, but he still mustered up the courage to agree to the fight, and felt that he was still somewhat admirable.
Qin Zhao spoke at the right time: “If General Long can beat Tu Ge, I will let you fill the vacancy left by Yuan Deyi.”
Lin Kui asked excitedly: “Really?!”
“Yes.”
His excitement did not last long. Facing the hulking Tu Ge, his heart quivered.
But perhaps it was the perspective of looking down at Tu Ge from the city tower that gave him some confidence. He solemnly said: “I will definitely win!”
Lin Kui went down the city tower holding his spear.
Seeing that his opponent was him instead of the masked man, Tu Ge was slightly dissatisfied: “Why is it you? Where is that masked guy?!”
Lin Kui: “If you want to fight him, beat me first!”
Tu Ge looked down on Lin Kui contemptuously, “You won't last three moves against me. I advise you to get lost now, don't embarrass you Yue countrymen!”
Lin Kui was immediately enraged. He angrily said: “Damn fatty, I will make you pay for your arrogant arrogance!”
He swung his spear and charged at Tu Ge!
Tu Ge also moved. Every step he took seemed to make the ground sink!
The clash of spears and hammers made a piercing sound!
Lin Kui spat out blood from the overwhelming force and the strong resonance of Tu Ge's iron hammer!
The Chi Rong Army soldiers were high-spirited, shouting Tu Ge's name again.
The two continued to fight. Tu Ge smashed his hammer again, and the heavy pressure pressed Lin Kui to the ground!
With Tu Ge standing and Lin Kui kneeling, it was clear who had won and lost.
Lin Kui spat and got up again to attack Tu Ge!
This time, Tu Ge's hammer struck directly into Lin Kui's chest!
Lin Kui lowered his head to look at the gaping hole in his chest, without even the strength to scream, he fell back dead with eyes wide open.
Just as Tu Ge said, he couldn't make it past the third move.
Zhou Mingzhi stared at Lin Kui's corpse, eyes wide open and lips parted.
In less than half a moment, he had lost two allies, and his mentality was somewhat unstable.
Just after Lin Kui died, Tu Ge shouted again, “Hahahaha! You Yue people are too weak!”
More and more soldiers rushed over when they heard the news and gathered on the city tower, waiting for Huo Jun to take up the fight.
But Huo Jun said, “Let’s fight again tomorrow.”
The soldiers were extremely disappointed, their eyes looking at Huo Jun carrying some contempt.
But Huo Jun was completely unaffected.
Qin Zhao admired Huo Jun's composure. Although she didn't know what tricks she had to defeat the enemy, just her calm and unruffled appearance made Qin Zhao willing to believe in her.
Zhou Mingzhi was unhappy. He shouted at Huo Jun, “Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there are too many tomorrows. General Huo, why delay it, wouldn't quick battle and quick decision be better?
If you retreat like this, it makes the deaths of General Yuan and General Long seem ridiculous. Did they just die in vain? "
Huo Jun said, "If you regret their deaths, you can personally seek justice from Tu Ge. I won't stop you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingzhi’s psychological defense line collapsed completely. He roared loudly: “I’m going to die, I’m going to die!"
He thought that rather than dying miserably at the hands of the enemy, he might as well end it himself. After shouting, he jumped from the city tower!
Huo Jun didn't even look at him for another glance before leaving the city tower.
Qin Zhao also walked down with Qi Yan Su Luo.
She glanced down at the city wall.
As expected, Zhou Mingzhi's death was gruesome.
It was better to eliminate such weak-minded people earlier, so as not to make trouble in future battles.
Not far from the city tower, Huo Jun was standing there, as if waiting for Qin Zhao.
Seeing Huo Jun, Qi Yan Su Luo knew they had something to discuss, and took the initiative to say, "I'll go back to the big tent first."
"Okay."
Qin Zhao walked over to Huo Jun and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
Huo Jun nodded, "Does Your Highness have any doubts about my choice to fight again tomorrow?"
"No, I believe in you. Every decision must have its own reasons."
Huo Jun smiled, "Who knows, maybe I saw that he was too big and I didn't think I could necessarily beat him, so I chose to delay time?"
Qin Zhao patted her shoulder and praised: “You’re very honest. That way I don't have to worry about whether you might lose, I just need to worry about you not losing too badly.”
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Hearing their laughter, Qi Yan Su Luo quickened her pace.
After Qin Zhao and Huo Jun finished talking, they returned to the big tent, but did not see Qi Yan Su Luo inside.
So she went out to look for her.
The camp was built on a flat ground with unobstructed views.
Obviously Qi Yan Su Luo was not in the camp. Qin Zhao went into the woods adjacent to the camp.
Qi Yan Su Luo should not have gone into the woods so late, but Qin Zhao inexplicably felt that she was inside.
Sure enough, as Qin Zhao walked into the woods, not far away, she saw Qi Yan Su Luo in green clothes.
Soon, another person dressed in dark clothes appeared in her sight.
That person talked with Qi Yan Su Luo for half a cup of tea time before leaving.
As Qi Yan Su Luo also wanted to leave, she was stopped by a male voice, "Qi Yan, please wait!"
Qi Yan Su Luo looked back. The person standing across from her turned out to be Huo Chengjin!
She asked, "What are you doing here? How long have you been here?"
Huo Chengjin answered honestly, "Since you started talking to that person."
Qi Yan Su Luo pulled out her dagger, "It seems that I have to kill you a second time!"
Huo Chengjin’s right hand was disabled, and there were no helpers in the wilderness.
Qi Yan Su Luo knew she had some chance of winning under these circumstances.
She walked slowly towards Huo Chengjin.
Huo Chengjin sensed the danger. “Let’s just casually chat, don’t take it too seriously.”
Qi Yan Su Luo said, “You should have thought of what would happen when you eavesdropped on our
