Chapter 44 Chapter Seven Take Back the Star Arrow Wasteland

Hu'er was still poking his head at the door, but when he heard the Dongguan brigade shouting, he also smiled quite happily. These few days, Hu'er seldom appeared in the mansion, the Dongguan Brigade asked a few servants, and they all said that he had been staying in the uterus, and he rarely came back at night. The Dongguan Brigade walked over in the rain, and was naturally very happy to see Hu'er. Xiong Lu stood behind Hu'er, with a faint smile on his face. "You guys are here! Anyway, I'm going to see Sister Gongsun, so come with me!" Hu'er nodded and smiled.

"Okay! I haven't seen her for a few days, she..." Speaking of this, the bear couple on the side winked, and Hu'er was slightly startled, then scratched his head in embarrassment. "That's right, I forgot that I came to see you today for something important. It depends on Sister Gongsun, maybe I have to wait for another day. " "Important matter?" Dongguan Brigade asked curiously, "Is it related to me?" "Of course it's related," Hu'er said loudly, "We are three brothers! Share weal and woe, work together, as long as there is any important event, will we forget you?"

The bear couple on the side also said with a smile. "Hu'er is right. Don't forget that when you were at Biluomen, you promised to fight with me for the hegemony of Chu!" The Dongguan Brigade nodded and said firmly. "Of course, since we made such an oath that day, no matter what it is, as long as it can help you, I will never hesitate!" Hearing his sincere words, Hu'er and Xiong Lu were overjoyed. Hu'er patted the Dongguan Brigade on the shoulder and said approvingly. "With you, what a good brother, we really didn't get along with you!"

The Dongguan Brigade laughed and said, "Don't talk about it, what do you want me to do? You haven't told me yet!" Hu'er and Xiong Lu looked at each other, Xiong Lu nodded, and Hu'er put his shoulders on Dongguan Brigade's shoulder and said. "We have an important strategy that we want to tell you about. But it is not convenient for me to say, I will take you to a place. " Braving the light rain in the early morning, the three walked quickly in the city of Yingdu. Hu'er led the Dongguan Brigade forward on the street, but this time they didn't circle around in the alleys, but went straight. to the west gate.

Walking in front of the city gate, the Chu soldiers guarding the city naturally recognized the prince Xiong Lu, but when all the Chu soldiers saw him, they didn't show any respect, they just rolled their eyes and let them pass. Xiong Lu didn't get angry, but just stared at the city defenders with a livid face, and then marched out of the city with Hu'er and the Dongguan Brigade. Coming out of the city, Hu'er took two skinny horses at a post station, one for the bears to ride on, and one for him and the Dongguan Brigade to ride together. The three of them braved the drizzle and headed to the city. A valley outside flew over.

After riding for a while, they arrived at a secluded small mountain lair. The tiger and the bear couple seemed to be familiar with the road. After turning a few turns in the mountain road, they found a small cave. After tying up the horses, the three bent over waist into the hole. I saw that the space in the small cave was quite spacious, and there were some tables, chairs and dry food inside, arranged like a place for discussion. In the cave, there is a stone step that can go straight to the top of the cave, where there is a hole of a person's height, through which the misty sky light penetrates.

Only the sound of pattering rain came from outside, and when the three of them entered the cave, the rain had gradually increased. In the distance, there was a faint sound of rumbling thunder. Walking into the cave, Xiong Lu took off the fur that protected him from the rain, Dongguan Lu and Hu'er also took off their coir raincoats, Xiong Lu took a few steps in the cave, and then slowly walked up the stone steps. Hu'er winked at the Dongguan Brigade, and followed Xiong Lu up. The three of them looked out of the hole, and saw that the sky was as heavy as lead, dark clouds were hanging down, and endless raindrops were falling.

The Dongguan Brigade looked at the vast rain scene for a while, and suddenly said "Huh", and opened their eyes wide in surprise. I saw in the distant mountains, there were strange colored rays of light indistinctly, and one looked carefully, there were countless colorful beams of light, like colored silk, emitted from somewhere in the distant mountains, and then directed towards infinite distances in all directions. The place spreads out. This place is no stranger to the Dongguan Brigade, because the origin of the light beam is the mysterious Star Arrow Wasteland in Chu State. There, there are countless mysterious colossi, and each colossus seems to contain terrible and powerful abilities.

In Biluomen, Yiyang Xuanyi told them that the three of them are descendants of the Star Arrow Clan and have the ability to drive these giant statues. Each light beam points to a Star Arrow clansman who can drive a colossus. If there are other people who can see the light beams looking from a distance at this moment, they can also see that three of the light beams are directed at Dongguan Lu, Hu'er, and Xiong Lu. It's just that there are not many people in this world who can see this kind of beam. There was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, and the raindrops hit the grass leaves, making the whole space seem empty and melancholy.

The three stood in front of the cave and looked into the distance, but no one spoke for a while. After a long time, Xiong Lu said quietly. "There, the light of Star Arrow Wasteland can only be seen by people like us when there is a heavy thunderstorm." The Dongguan Brigade took a deep breath, but Hu'er beside him looked serious and did not speak. "Whenever I encounter such a heavy thunderstorm, I always feel distressed," Xiong Lu's voice seemed a little hollow through the sound of rain. "I always think that there is a secret of our Chu country in the Star Arrow Wasteland, which is in charge of the past of the Chu country, and even the future of the Chu country.

The country is in trouble, and every time I think that when the country is in such a precarious state, Dou Ziyu can still show off his power there, I feel distressed. I feel sorry for our country, but also for my Chu family. Since the founding of the state of Chu by the former king Porridge Xiong, it has gone through dozens of generations of management, and it is hard to govern the country so strong. But in the past few years, I have often asked myself, is such a powerful country going to die in my generation of Chu Xionglv? " The East Gate Brigade took a look at Hu'er, and saw that his expression was even more serious, so he had to force a smile and said. "No...it won't be this bad," he said with a somewhat uncomfortable smile: "As long as we work hard, one day...uh! It will definitely be...able to change." The bear lover turned his head to look at him, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Of course, I am very happy to have Hu'er and you come to help me, but I think Hu'er should have told you too! You have also seen how disparate our strength is compared with Dou Ziyu. We need money, we don’t have money, we need food, and most of the food is in the hands of Doujia. When it comes to people, we have some strong and proud people. Everyone has enthusiasm and wants to be loyal to my Chu family wholeheartedly. Ideals are of course very good, but ideals cannot be eaten as food, do you know this? " Hu'er sighed softly and nodded. "Know." Xiong Lu nodded slightly, but stared at the Dongguan Brigade in a blink of an eye. "Little Lu, what about you? Do you know this?" The East Gate Brigade also nodded helplessly. "Know." Xiong Lu smiled wryly for a while, but fell silent. Hu'er at the side pondered for a while, and then said to the Dongguan Brigade. "It's just that Xionglu and I have found a turning point, but I don't know if you are willing to help us." The East Gate Brigade frowned and said loudly. "What are you talking about? Since I swore an oath to be brothers with the two of you that day, no matter what happens, even if it takes your life, I will help you comprehensively. If you want to ask this again, you're looking down on me. " Hearing his generous words, although the Dongguan Brigade had already said similar things before, but this time he said it again, obviously a little more resolute. Xiong Lu smiled slightly, patted his shoulder and said. "Okay! Xiaolu is really a good brother. If I am lucky enough to get a big position in the future, I will never forget the kindness of you two!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the distant Star Arrow Wasteland. "The current plan, if we want to reverse the situation and overcome our disadvantage of insufficient money, food and manpower, the only turning point is in the Star Arrow Wasteland!" Hu'er on the side nodded and said. "What the prince said is absolutely correct, all our hopes lie in the Star Arrow Wasteland. You must remember what Senior Yiyang said about the Star Arrow at Biluomen, right?Naturally, you have also seen the supernatural power of the Star and Arrow Colossus in ancient times. As long as you have such a colossus, you don’t have to use all of them. Just one or two of them are enough to block the most elite army in the world! As long as you master the Xingjian Desolate Land, let alone Dou Ziyu, if you want to take down all the feudal states in the entire Zhou Dynasty kingdom, that is just a matter of talking and laughing! " His words came out impassioned, full of eager anticipation. If ordinary people hear this kind of content, they must think that Hu'er is a madman who has lost his mind, but the Dongguan Brigade himself has seen the power of those giant statues in the Star Arrow Wasteland, and he has also heard about Yiyang in Biluomen. Xuan Yi narrated the legend of Star Arrow, and knew that Hu'er's words at this moment were exaggerated, but it was not impossible. Recalling the tragic battle of the Star Arrow Colossi that day in the Biluo Gate, and thinking about how if you use such magical soldiers and the ordinary forces of the feudal states to fight against the enemy, if you want to dominate the world, maybe it is really what Huer said, Just a "joke". The difference between Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er and Xionglu is that he is not as enthusiastic and devoted to military affairs as the two of them, but he is naturally happy for him knowing that the secret of Star Arrow Wasteland can help Xionglu win the country. "Mastering the matter of Star Arrow Wasteland may be just a dream for most people in the world, but for the three of us, it is a great achievement that is very likely to be accomplished," Xiong Lu said with emotion: " Therefore, I hope that Xiaolu, you can help me, and Hu'er, to get the colossus in the Star Arrow Wasteland, and win the throne for me in the Chu Kingdom!" The East Gate Brigade nodded with a solemn and resolute expression. "As long as you have a place where you can use me, I will definitely do it." Hearing his resolute answer, Xiong Lu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had solved an extremely difficult event. "We've already made a plan. Hu'er has a map here. I'll ask him to tell you what our plan is later." The three of them walked down the stone steps slowly, Hu'er took out a sheepskin map from his body, spread it on the ground, and began to describe the whole plan of attacking the Star Arrow Wasteland to the Dongguan Brigade. "Look, here is the map of the mountain road next to the Star Arrow Wasteland. There are soldiers here, and there are troops there," Hu'er explained tirelessly, "Dou Ziyu is not as mysterious as we know the Star Arrow Wasteland is. He only knew that it was a holy place in the Chu Kingdom, and he didn't know the terrifying power of the giant statues in the wasteland, so he used the giant statues as a tool to execute people." "Doesn't he know the usefulness of the Colossus?" Dongguan Lvqi asked: "When we saw the Colossus change with our own eyes, wasn't he also there?" "The situation at that time was too chaotic, so it's no wonder you didn't know what happened," Hu'er said with a smile, "This is what Xiong Lu and I came back to Yingdu and asked around from many people. It turned out that at that time, Dou Ziyu and his minions were stunned by the loud noise from the giant statue, and when he heard that Dou Ziyu was about to faint, he went crazy and threw several of his men from the high platform, falling to their deaths several. " "Wow!" The Dongguan Brigade was surprised and amused at the same time. "It turned out that this kind of thing happened back then." "When we were stuffed into the Star and Arrow Colossus by Dou Ziyu's men, I don't know what happened. They were all stunned and dumbfounded. Do you remember that when we were about to escape later, you still wanted to kill them while they were fainting?" Dou Ziyu? Later, he was blocked by Xiong Lu, remember?" Dongguan brigade nodded. "of course I remember." Hu'er hadn't answered yet, but Xiong Lu who was beside him said bitterly. "If I had known that this villain is so rampant now, I would have asked you to kill him, so that we would not have to spend so much time now." Hu'er sighed: "There are many things in the world that we didn't expect! But fortunately, Dou Ziyu doesn't know anything about the Xingjian Wasteland. If he knows that there is such a powerful army in the wasteland, and knows We have the ability to stimulate them, and it will be strange if we don't go crazy!" The bear couple nodded, pointed to the map and said. "Because he didn't know anything, even though he sent troops to guard the mountainous area near the wasteland, these troops were not too many, and they were still within the range we could handle." Hu'er pondered for a while, then pointed to a mountain road in the picture and said. "All in all, we have only one chance for this operation, and it can only succeed, not fail." Dongguan Brigade wondered: "Why is there only one chance?" "This is an offensive and defensive strategy on the battlefield," Hu'er said smoothly, "Because they don't know anything about the usefulness of the wasteland, so they didn't send too many troops to defend. But once we attack this time, we will use Dou Zi With Yu Zhineng, he would definitely guess that there is something strange in the Star Arrow Wasteland. Because if there wasn't an oddity there, why would we go to such lengths to grab it? And if we continue to act like this, we will officially turn against Dou Ziyu, so we must also successfully take the colossus in the Star Arrow Wasteland in our hands, even if we can't get all of them, we must at least grab one or two, otherwise From now on, there will be no capital to fight with Dou Ziyu. " The three of them kept discussing in the cave, studied the terrain near the Star Arrow Wasteland clearly, and concluded that the strength of Xiong Lu's troops was enough to subdue the guarding Chu soldiers, but they had to dispatch all Xiong Lu's men to do so. Barely made up enough. "There's just one thing I don't understand." The East Gate Brigade frowned and asked curiously, "I'm not familiar with your people at all. If we really want to fight and there's no tacit understanding, then what should I do?" "You!" Hu'er said with a smile: "I saw clearly how you defeated those two twin mysterious generals that day. It seems that you have made great progress in your primordial spirit ability in recent years, so I plan to put you here..." He put his finger on a mountain road, which is located behind the Star Arrow Wasteland, and the terrain is quite dangerous. "Because if everything goes well, we will hold the front, but because we don't have enough men, we may have gaps in the back. In this operation, we not only need to have time to capture the Star Arrow Wasteland, but also have time to drive the Colossus. Although the three of us cannot say that we are inexperienced in this regard, I am not sure whether we can drive the Colossus, so we will definitely Take some time. Therefore, we must be able to restrain these Chu soldiers guarding the formation, and not let them have the opportunity to escape, so we can go to report. If they report the news successfully and Dou Ziyu sends more troops, we will be defeated this time. So we will hold the front, but deliberately leave a gap in the rear, and if they want to escape, they will choose to escape from the rear. But they have to pass by you, your position is just blocking the rear passage, as long as someone comes, you can stop them. " The Dongguan Brigade looked at the situation on the mountain road, and knew that what Hu'er said was indeed true, but he thought about it, and then asked suspiciously. "Is it just me?" Tiger nodded. "Yes, only you." "However, if there are fewer people, I can still handle it. If there are many people coming at once, I'm afraid I can't beat them." "Can't beat?" Hu'er and Xiong Lu looked at each other, both showing intriguing expressions. "No one told you to use a beating." "How can we stop them if we don't fight?" Dongguan brigade said with a smile, "Do you think I'm a god?" "You are not a god, but you have the ability of primordial spirit," Hu'er smiled calmly. "Come and see." He pointed to the mountain road, and then pointed to the deep stream beside the road. "This mountain road will suddenly narrow when you get here, so only one person can pass through at a time, and you will stay here," he pointed to a turning point of the mountain road. "As soon as someone appears, you use your primordial spirit ability to beat him silently. If he doesn't stop, he will fall into the deep ravine immediately and fall to pieces." Dongguan Brigade's expression changed, he looked at the situation on the mountain road, and after concentrating on it, he knew that Hu'er's strategy was indeed extremely effective. only…… "It's just that, isn't it a bit cruel to be so unruly?" Dongguan brigade forced a smile. "And if you fall..." Hu'er let out a long sigh, and held the Dongguan Brigade's hand sincerely. "Little brigade." The Dongguan Brigade was slightly taken aback, and responded casually. "yes." "You have to know, we're not playing the hide-and-seek game we played when we were young," Hu'er said quietly, "It's not the kind of game where you get caught, laugh and laugh for a while, and then start over again. What we are doing now is extremely dangerous, and it is a matter of risking our lives. If you don't let them die cleanly, the one killed by them will become yourself. Of course I know that such an approach is vicious and cruel. It's just that you are not cruel to the enemy. When he arrests you, binds you to a stake and prepares to dig out your heart, do you think he will think: 'Hmm!I can't be so cruel' and let you go? I just want you to tell me, will there be such a thing? " The East Gate Brigade thought for a while, and then said in a low voice. "Won't." "So, this is what I said, the big thing we have to do," Hu'er said solemnly: "If you think you can't do it, you must tell me. Because no matter what, we are the best brothers, but I can't kill other brothers because of your kindness for a while. I'll ask you again now, can you do it? " The Dongguan Brigade took a deep breath, and sighed softly when seeing the expectant look of the Xiong couple. "Can." "Okay!" Hu'er laughed loudly: "With your words, I think our actions will be a little more sure. With your help, I think we will be able to defeat Dou Ziyu this time!"
