Chapter 838 Prophecy
"Report——"

A female soldier rode her horse at full speed and rushed into the camp.

On both sides of the camp gate were flying blood-red flags with the word "righteousness" inscribed on them, which complemented the blood-red color on the female soldiers' bodies.

She rushed into the camp gate and rode her horse quickly to the front of the general's tent. The female soldier dismounted quickly and rushed into the tent.

"Report to the Marshal!"

She suddenly knelt on one knee: "The monks are brave and the enemy camp is empty! More than 90% of the soldiers of the Chang'an Beach Xishuo Army have entered the front line!"

In the center of the commander's tent, behind the big desk, Ning Wushu was sitting like a mountain, holding a military book.

Hearing the military report, she slowly raised her head.

There were two shallow scars that crossed to form a cross and crawled across her cheek, one across the bridge of her nose, and one vertically across her left eye. Fortunately, the pupil of her left eye was still active.

In these three years, this cross was not the only new wound on her body.

On her face, neck, back of her hands...all the exposed skin was covered with various scars, large and small, deep and shallow. It was hard to imagine how many bloody battles she had gone through in the past three years.

"Is there any news about Wu Changfeng?"

Ning Wushu asked in a deep voice.

"Not yet."

The female soldier responded, then showed difficulty on her face and said slowly: "According to General Chen Yanwu, he seemed to see that Wu Xianfeng... made too much trouble and was injured too badly."

Ning Wushu laughed and put down the military book in his hand.

"That will probably take some work."

But she was not panicked: "Let's buy him some time - inform them, don't just attack head-on, let them off a little bit at the right time, give them some hope, and drag them around in circles."

"Yes!"

The female soldier responded, turned around and ran out of the tent.

Ning Wushu watched the curtain fall and picked up the military book again.

But this time, before she could take a few more glances, someone else lifted the curtain and came in.

"Marshal Ning, how are you?"

The newcomer bowed and smiled, "I see you guys are fighting fiercely... How's the battle going on at Long Beach?"

Ning Wushu looked up.

Murong Yu.

"Military Advisor Murong, long time no see. You came at the right time... We'll talk about this later."

She smiled slightly: "How is the war on the northern front?"

"It's not easy to fight..."

Murong Yu smiled bitterly: "Fuhe Province is full of Yuan family members, they are united as one, and our side is beating their brains out... Who the hell would have thought that the Yuan family has so many private soldiers?"

"You've been in the military for two years, and you're full of foul language."

Ning Wushu chuckled and said, "So it won't be that easy to invade Shu from your side."

"It's difficult. Too difficult."

Murong Yu found a place to sit down, poured a glass of cold water and drank it all in one gulp: "You haven't told me about the battle situation at Chang'an Beach just now?"

"Today is the critical day." Ning Wushu smiled slightly.

Murong Yu was shocked and put down his water cup: "You chose today to steal the Xishuo Army's Shu defense map?!"

"What's wrong?" Ning Wushu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You should have told me earlier!"

Murong Yu slapped his thigh in annoyance: "Let's have a few more battles over there to attract some of the Xishuo troops over here!"

"Come on, that's impossible."

Ning Wushu smiled and said, "As long as they fail to take down Langhuan Mountain, they will defend Shu to the death. As long as our rebel army is still advancing westward, they will never relax any of their defenses."

Hearing this, Murong Yu frowned slightly.

After a long while, he said softly: "Then... this is also the purpose of my coming this time."

"Marshal Hong Zhi asked me to ask you a question. What are your plans for the next step?"

"..."

Ning Wushu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What plans do we have? We can only fight, fight non-stop, fight to the foot of Langhuan Mountain, fight into the Shiwan Mountains, and see why there has been no news about Tang Jiao for more than two years, and see... whether the prophecy she made two years ago is true."

Murong Yu nodded slightly.

"In this case……"

He whispered, "Let's talk about the plan Marshal Hong Zhi proposed earlier... to build a team of sharp swords that can penetrate deep into Shu."

"Of course." Ning Wushu smiled: "But let's wait for Wu Changfeng to come back first."

……

"found it!"

In the main tent of the Xishuo Army, Liang Guangchang unfolded the sheepskin scroll in front of him, and a blush of excitement flashed across his old face.

"The defense map... let me see it."

He could feel his heart beating as fast as a drum. He hadn't been so nervous and excited for at least a few decades. Even when the gynecolithiasis was rampant, he had never done anything so exciting. "There are 30,000 troops stationed around Yu'nan City, 10,000 naval forces, and the general's surname is... Yang."

Liang Guangchang knew that he could not remember every name, so he just remembered the surname and believed that the rebels would make their own judgment.

"There are 20,000 troops stationed around the Shu capital, guarding the Shu Road passes, with 10,000 each at the East Pass and the West Pass. The commander at the East Pass is named Bai, and the commander at the West Pass is named Lan."

"There are 5,000 troops stationed at Meifeng Pass, with 30 heavy crossbows, and the general's surname is Wang..."

He frowned and tried hard to remember, not trying to remember all the details, just to remember the important information.

Fortunately, as a "miracle doctor", Liang Guangchang's brain is definitely much more useful than most of his peers. He can remember a vast amount of medical books and pharmacist classics, so a mere defense map is no problem for him.

In less than a cup of tea, he had memorized almost all the important information on the defense map. Then, without any hesitation, he rolled up the parchment map and put it back in its place.

But just as he quietly left the main tent and took only two steps, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him!
"Liang Guangchang!"

Liang Guangchang's heart almost stopped, his blood instantly turned cold, and his face turned as white as paper in an instant.

He immediately heard that this was the voice of the general just now!
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath.

Liang Guangchang listened to the heavy footsteps coming from behind him, turned around slowly, his face full of confusion, and then turned into surprise when he saw the general.

"Oh, General, that's great!"

He didn't run away, but instead faced the enemy: "I, I can't find the way back!"

bass!
The general ignored him, but frowned, suddenly drew out his sword and put it on Liang Guangchang's neck!
“General, general, general!”

Liang Guangchang was horrified and said in a trembling voice: "What are you doing!"

"This general wants you to stay where you are. What are you doing? Why are you outside the main tent?" The general narrowed his eyes, with murderous intent emanating from him.

Several personal soldiers around him quickly surrounded him and handcuffed Liang Guangchang's hands behind his back.

"General, it's unfair, it's unfair!"

Liang Guangchang shouted in shock and fear: "Yes, the injured man is dying! He is going to die... I came out to find the military doctor to get some emergency medicine! But, but I can't find the way back, and seeing that this tent is big, I came over to take a look..."

The general looked at him coldly for a few breaths, then said in a deep voice: "Search!"

With a thud, Liang Guangchang was immediately pinned to the ground by several bodyguards.

He was not young, and being pressed like that nearly cost him his life, and he cried out in pain.

But soon, after the soldiers finished searching, they took out two bottles of pills and said to the general, "General, we only found this on him."

The general took the bottle.

"Shenxue Pills, Regulating Qi Pills."

He frowned and looked at Liang Guangchang: "Did you really go to find a military doctor?"

"I really went there, I really went there!"

Liang Guangchang shouted repeatedly, feeling extremely grateful.

He really wanted to treat Wu Changfeng's injury, so to be on the safe side, he asked for directions to the military doctor and asked for two bottles of the most effective pills.

Of course, he also had some concerns - after all, his son Liang Xin had gone to the military medical department before, and he also wanted to see if his son was there.

But of course, Liang Xin was no longer there.

In this case, he could only pray for good fortune for his son.

The general still squinted his eyes.

After a long silence, he turned to another of his personal soldiers and said, "Go and see if there is anything missing in the main tent."

The personal guards responded and left. Soon, the sound of rummaging through things was heard from the main tent.

During the whole process, Liang Guangchang was pinned to the ground, motionless, in great pain.

After a long while, the personal soldier came out of the tent again and said slowly, "General... nothing is missing."

The murderous intent in the general slowly subsided.

Then, he actually laughed, stepped forward to help Liang Guangchang up, and patted the dust off his body: "Don't blame me, Doctor Liang, don't blame me, but this is a strategic military location, please don't barge in again--"

As he said this, he didn't care that Liang Guangchang was still in shock, and immediately turned to the guards beside him and shouted angrily: "Hurry up and help Doctor Liang to rest! Take those two bottles of medicine to treat the enemy prisoners!"

This roar made Liang Guangchang, who was close by, tremble again.

Seeing him like this, the general's eyes became more determined.

"General, no, that's not necessary."

Liang Guangchang trembled and said, "Leave the injured to me to treat..."

"Haha, that's fine too."

The general smiled and said, "Then...thank you for your hard work, doctor."

Liang Guangchang slowly left under the support, escort, or rather, supervision of two personal soldiers.

Occasionally turning around, he saw the general still standing there, holding a knife in his hand, looking at this side indifferently.

"Two military masters..."

Liang Guangchang suddenly had an idea and asked softly to the soldier beside him: "I don't know your name, General? I will...don't call you by the wrong name in the future."

"Our general's surname is Hua, and his full name is Hua Ruying."

The personal soldier replied proudly, "But I heard that this is also the name the general changed himself. He used to be a monk. The general's swordsmanship is superb. Legend has it that he can even use the Ning family's Light-Splitting Shadow Sword!"
