Chapter 246: Riding Back to Camp
Zhou Weide and Wu Sheng said in unison: "I don't think so!"
At this time Qisheng slipped to Chu Xiaomu's side again, gently rubbed his trouser legs with his body, and made a whistling sound from his mouth, just like someone acting like a coquettish person.
Xiang Li stared at Xiao Qisheng and asked, "Where did this... this little horse come from?"
Zhou Weide said angrily: "What does this have to do with you?! Do you admit defeat or not? Do you believe I can poke a few more holes in your body?!"
Wu Sheng teased him, "So what if he believes it, so what if he doesn't believe it, do you really dare to poke him again?"
Zhou Weide shouted, "Who said I don't dare! I'll stab you right away!" He raised his gun and stabbed it, but stopped abruptly about an inch from Xiang Li's body. After all, he was still afraid that the beast spirit would go crazy again.
Xiangli rested for a long time and recovered some of his strength. He waved to Qisheng and said, "Come here... Come here so I can take a closer look..."
Qisheng didn't understand what he said, and still clung to Chu Xiaomu. Chu Xiaomu was afraid that Xiangli would hurt him, so he hurriedly stood in front of him and shouted, "What do you want to do?!"
Xiang Li waved his hands and said, "I didn't expect you to use this method to compete with me. If you weren't afraid of hurting these horses at the beginning, you would not be able to beat me."
Zhou Weide was about to curse again, but Chu Xiaomu stopped him and said, "That's right, if we didn't have these horses, we wouldn't be your opponent even if we had ten times more of them."
Xiang Li said: "I am very grateful that you didn't stab me with your spears."
Chu Xiaomu said: "That's because you didn't hurt us first. We already have the advantage in numbers. If we take advantage of swords and guns, it would be dishonorable even if we win."
Xiang Li suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Yes, yes, you are a real man from Bicheng! If I don't admit defeat, my king will lose face. Even if the King of Beasts cannot defeat General Biye in this round, he will not necessarily lose to him."
Chu Xiaomu said happily: "So, you admit defeat?"
Xiang Li nodded and said, "If I lose, I lose. What's there to admit or not?" He pulled out a spear and several arrows that were still nailed to his body and threw them aside, then continued, "I don't know why, but I always feel a little weird in the past year. Sometimes I can't control myself..." After saying that, he sighed heavily.
Everyone then realized that he had gone mad suddenly because he could no longer control himself, and that he had killed so many wild horses and military horses, which showed that he didn't know what he was doing.
Chu Xiaomu said: "We set fire to the mountain because we were forced by the situation. We had no choice but to come up with this measure. If I can see your King of Beasts one day, I will definitely ask for punishment from him..."
Xiang Li waved his hand and said, "Since I lost the competition, the beast spirits of the Beast Mountain will keep their word. The matter of burning the mountain will be forgotten, and my king will not investigate further..."
When everyone heard him say that he would not pursue the matter any further, they were all delighted.
Xiang Li slowly got up from the ground and walked towards the Beast Mountain step by step. He was stabbed several times in the leg by Chu Xiaomu and others, so he walked very slowly.
Everyone stood there and watched Xiangli gradually disappear into the night. His loud cries could be heard from afar: "Shenma has passed away... My good brother Chenghuang has passed away..."
Chu Xiaomu gathered everyone together and dug a big pit with great effort. They carried all the dead horses in and buried them. They then checked the injuries of some injured horses and bandaged their wounds.
When everyone was burying the dead horses, the two leading horses, the military horses and the wild horses all stood quietly by the side, with their heads lowered, as if paying tribute and observing a moment of silence. The originally jumping and dancing Xiao Qisheng also calmed down and followed Chu Xiaomu obediently.
By the time everything was done, it was already dawn. After everyone had a quick bite to eat, they began to work on their original plan to return to the Nanding Army camp.
Lin Zhen ran over and said, "These military horses and wild horses cannot be separated, what should we do?"
Yingdan said, "Why not bring all the wild horses back to the camp? When Zhou Zhongjun sees them, he might be even happier."
Wang Gang thought for a while and said, "These wild horses are difficult to control. Although we can restrain them temporarily, they may run away one day. If all the military horses are abducted, Zhou Zhongjun will not let us off easily." Zhang Hou, Zhou Weide, Su Mishun, Ling Weidou and others all agreed. Even Wu Sheng, who always liked to sing a devil's advocate, nodded in agreement.
Chu Xiaomu said: "We will try our best to separate the military horses from the wild horses. If that doesn't work, we will just take them back to the camp. What I'm worried about is not that the wild horses are difficult to control, but that there is not enough fodder to feed the horses in the camp."
Yingdan said, "That's the only way." Everyone nodded.
Chu Xiaomu raised his spear and shouted loudly: "Horse herders, listen to my orders!"
Everyone responded in unison: “Yes!”
"Ride back to camp!"
Chu Xiaomu led a team of horse herders and led more than a thousand military horses and wild horses towards the Nanding Army camp in Bicheng. The cold wind was like a knife, and they stepped on the remaining snow all the way.
Everyone couldn't help drooling when they thought of the roasted mutton, vegetarian biscuits, and Biyuan Diao in the camp, and for a moment they even forgot the four words "Danger, don't return" written on the letter sent by the messenger eagle. Zhang Hou even talked about the various benefits of drinking Biyuan Diao to the body, and said mysteriously: "General Bi Ye not only has extremely high original force, but also has amazing spiritual power. He has cultivated the spiritual power of gold and wind. Many people say that it is the help of drinking a lot of Biyuan Diao. Otherwise, no matter how powerful people in this world are, how can they cultivate both spiritual power and original power and reach such a high level?"
Wu Sheng said: "The general is not a human, he is a spirit, and he is the only spirit king of Cangmu Kingdom. Naturally, he is much more powerful than scattered spirits like Tonghun." When General Bi Ye was mentioned, Wu Sheng became honest. Not only did he stop singing a different tune and making sarcastic remarks, he also did not dare to show any disrespect in his words.
Lin Zhen said: "It is not certain that he is the only Spirit King of Cangmu Country. Everyone, don't forget what Xiang Li said a few days ago."
Wu Sheng said disdainfully: "Are you talking about the King of All Beasts in the Beast Mountain?"
Lin Zhen nodded.
Wu Sheng added: "That's just Xiang Li's boasting. The so-called King of Beasts is definitely far inferior to General Bi Ye."
Su Mishun smiled and said, "Xiao Sheng'er, you have always been a nagging person, why are you so honest when talking about General Bi Ye?"
Wu Sheng spat, "Go away, go away. You are younger than me, why do you call me 'Little Sheng'? You should call me 'Brother Sheng'!"
Su Mishun said, "Okay, okay, Brother Sheng'er, why are you so honest when talking about General Bi Ye?"
Wu Sheng said: "Speaking of General Bi Ye, who in Cangmu Country dares to be dishonest? No, I think no one in the four countries dares to be dishonest!"
