Professional Father - Chapter63

Outside Liangzhou City.

The smoke of war was everywhere.

The city gate was wide open.

Armored corpses littered the ground.

The blood that flowed down almost dyed the ground under their feet.

Xie Lige looked at the scene below solemnly.

The army surrounded the city gate, which had already been opened from the inside.

His gaze shifted to the empty city wall.

It was not difficult to see that the people in the city had all been moved away. The person who came up with this idea could not be anyone else.

It must be Jia Xu!

He recalled the profound words of the scholar in green who had been hiding behind the big rock before he left and the words he had said after he turned around.

Xie Lige could not help but sigh. The smart Jia Xu must have known his plan long ago.

Liangzhou City.

Xie Lige lowered his head and looked at the ancient city that was already occupied by the Xianbei people. His vision suddenly blurred.

His left hand stretched out in mid-air, as if he could touch the city.

"General, be careful!" In the next second.

A handsome general could not help but remind Xie Lige when he saw that he was about to fall off the cliff.

This sentence successfully made Xie Lige come back to his senses.

He suppressed the thousands of words in his heart, and his expression was still cold and emotionless. "All Cangyun Army are ready.

Go down the mountain. "

His expression was very cold, and his facial features were basically unchanged. However, the depths of his eyes were full of duty-bound determination.

Liangzhou City was built by the Dong family. Even if the people in the city had all left this ancient city, the Dong family could not retreat.

The roots of the Dong family were here.

Even if some rude fellows had broken into this place.

Xie Lige's gaze swept across the city.

He saw the Xianbei people riding on warhorses madly enter the city, and then break into the homes of the people next to them. They found nothing, so they could only curse and go out again.

He stood up and ran down the slope to the city, his tall and straight figure disappearing into the darkness.

The Cangyun Army silently followed closely behind. A group of black-armoured and white-feathered people rushed to the battlefield below. The Xianbei people were all shocked, especially the three most conspicuous Xianbei nobles. They stood inside the city gate and watched as the soldiers rushed towards them like tigers released from their cages.

The general in the lead was incomparably handsome. His indomitable aura made one's scalp go numb, not to mention his pair of eyes that left a deep impression even in the darkness.

"Who is that?!" Prince Xianbei couldn't help but ask.

It couldn't be helped. After all, Xie Lige was extremely eye-catching even in a crowded battlefield.

The second prince of Xianbei did not like his useless elder brother at all. However, in order to maintain the familial relationship on the surface, he stiffened his face and explained impatiently, "Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou."

He didn't even know who his enemy was.

He felt that the first prince could rest assured and die.

At this moment, Xie Lige squinted his eyes in excitement at the Xianbei soldiers rushing towards him. The Mo Sword in his hand continuously slashed down. One by one, the Xianbei soldiers died on the battlefield. The other members of the Cangyun Army were the same. They were like a black tide that spread across the battlefield. Wherever they spread, there was slaughter.

Xie Lige had long noticed the two people on this side. He also liked it when a king faced a king and a small soldier faced a small soldier. Seeing how respectful the Xianbei soldiers were to these two people, combined with the words of the Qiang tribesmen, he guessed that these two people should be the princes of Xianbei.

He somersaulted and landed not far away.

The first prince of Xianbei stared in horror at Xie Lige, who was looking down at him like a hunter. The black-armoured and white-feathered soldiers walked over step by step on the battlefield, as if they were stepping on his heart, slowly trampling him into hell.

"He, he, he … he's coming."

"Shut up!"

The second prince of Xianbei impatiently turned around and said to the first prince. Then, he took out his scimitar and looked warily at Xie Lige, whose expression could not be seen clearly.

He knew how terrifying Xie Lige's martial strength was. It was said that there were tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers stationed outside Liangzhou City, but they were forcibly scattered by Xie Lige, who was still young at that time. Even the leader of the soldiers was beaten half to death.

Half to death was equivalent to being dead, but he was rescued halfway through.

The second prince of Xianbei suddenly felt a flash of light. He reflexively blocked with his scimitar, which just happened to block Xie Lige's Mo Sword.

"Kill!"

Xie Lige coldly snorted and increased the strength in his hand. After all, the second prince of Xianbei was still a prince who lived a luxurious life. Even though his strength was not small, there was still a large gap between him and Xie Lige.

Seeing that he was about to lose to Xie Lige's Mo Sword, the first prince of Xianbei could not help but take a step back. He turned around and ran into the crowd.

The Xianbei soldiers also separated and protected him.

The second prince, who was in the midst of a bitter battle, glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the first prince's figure leaving. He cursed the first prince's shamelessness in his heart.

In his panic, he revealed an opening, and Xie Lige seized this opportunity to kill him.

"Second Prince!!!"

"Dong Zhuo!!"

"Little Brother!!"

"Charge!"

The crowd was stunned for a few seconds when they saw Xie Lige holding the Mo Sword. It was as if they did not dare to believe that the other party had really dealt such a heavy blow to the Xianbei soldiers. When they reacted, they all shouted.

Many angry gazes fell on the general in black armor and white feathers in the middle.

Xie Lige did not care about these people's gazes at all. On the contrary, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth and revealed a provocative smile.

The news of Dong Zhuo's return to Liangzhou City was like a bucket of cold water being poured into hot oil. Countless Xianbei soldiers rushed out of Liangzhou City. This was especially so when they learned that Dong Zhuo had killed the second prince. They added fuel to the fire.

The ground began to tremble slowly. Countless Xianbei soldiers on warhorses galloped out of the city and got closer and closer to Xie Lige's group.

Xie Lige stood up and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Xianbei soldiers rushing over. He coldly snorted and said, "All soldiers, return to formation. Attack with the Mo Sword. Slash!"

When the Cangyun Army heard this, they immediately stopped killing and returned to their formation. They raised the Mo Sword in their hands and fearlessly met the Xianbei army.

… …

The battle continued for a very long time.

It was so long that the sky darkened and brightened up again.

Dusk.

Lü Bu had been protected by the Cangyun Army ever since Xie Lige left. Every time he wanted to go find Xie Lige, the urge to do so burned like fire. Unfortunately, before he could say anything, the loyal Cangyun Army dragged him back.

"Little General," Guo Si stood up and looked at Lü Bu and said, "the general asked you to stay."

No one wanted to fight a bloody battle with their general more than the Cangyun Army. However, they suppressed this urge and guarded the treasure left behind by their general like wounded wolves.

Lü Bu raised his head and looked at Guo Si. He understood why Xie Lige had asked these people to stay. Upon closer inspection, these Cangyun Army soldiers were all young and had gentle personalities. They were clearly the guardians that Xie Lige wanted to leave behind for his son.

The Cangyun Army's loyalty to the Dong family was unquestionable. This army that could make enemies tremble in fear was built on the basis of the Dong family's personal guards.

Lü Bu was silent for a while. Then he opened his mouth with difficulty. His eyes were bloodshot because he hadn't rested for a long time. His voice was very hoarse as he said, "I want to see foster father."

Guo Si didn't say anything.

"It's already been a day and a night."

Lü Bu's eyes were dry. He raised his head and looked at the fiery red horizon. The sunset had taken over again. It had already been a day and a night since Xie Lige left.

The war should have ended.

Guo Si naturally understood Lü Bu's thoughts. He wanted to see if Xie Lige was dead or not. His reason told him that the other's actions were wrong, but he couldn't refuse.

The surrounding Cangyun Army soldiers were also looking at Guo Si. At this moment, they also wanted to see their general.

Guo Si gritted his teeth and said, "The slope outside the city is perfect for us to set up camp. Send people over to take a look first."

However, there was a reason why Xie Lige could leave everything to Guo Si without worry. In the end, his reason prevailed and he wasn't confused by the general's emotions.

A group of Cangyun guards arrived at the slope outside Liangzhou City. Just as they were about to set up camp, they ran into Jia Xu and the many city guards who had hurried back with the Liangzhou citizens.

The second he saw Guo Si and Lü Bu, Jia Xu's expression immediately changed. He hurriedly said, "You're not with the general?"

When Lü Bu heard this, his eyes were as terrifying as a wild beast's.

Guo Si also fell silent.

Jia Xu didn't have time to explain too much to them because everything was different from what he and Xie Lige had agreed on. He thought that the other party would stay with the Cangyun Army, so he was relieved to evacuate all the citizens and soldiers.

Who knew that all his plans would be disrupted. Seeing that at least half of the Cangyun Army soldiers were present, Jia Xu had a bad feeling.

"Quick, let's go to Liangzhou City to take a look." Jia Xu's first reaction was to hurry back to save people.

He stood up and didn't care about settling the remaining citizens. He turned around and ran out of Liangzhou City, his posture somewhat disheveled. Lü Bu looked at his back. This was the first time he had seen himself always win.

Radiant Flower Zhan Nan Ren?

Dong Mao Chang Wan Qiang?

Nuomou Shun

While Guo Si wasn't paying attention, Lü Bu followed behind Jia Xu and rushed out of the city.

"Little General!!"

Guo Si immediately wanted to stop him. He looked at Lü Bu's back and immediately followed closely behind. He was afraid that something would happen to the latter.

As soon as he left, the Cangyun Army also moved. The remaining citizens of Liangzhou City heard the conversation just now and understood that their general had come to save them. They immediately became excited and wanted to run out of the city to receive the other party.

However, as soon as they took their first step, they were stopped by the soldiers stationed in the city.

"Sir has ordered that the citizens are not allowed to leave," the soldier said firmly.

The common people took a step back. They had no way to break through the fence formed by these soldiers. There were also those who were brave enough to escape from the other direction. They followed the Cangyun Army's footsteps and walked out of Liangzhou City.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded. Lü Bu didn't even have time to catch his breath when he arrived at Liangzhou City. He impatiently looked up to search for familiar figures. However, he was rendered speechless by the sight of the endless mountain of corpses in front of him.

Xianbei corpses were piled up into mountains as tall as two people. They continuously formed a circle. Their expressions were ferocious and fearful. The smaller the circle, the fewer people there were. Gradually, a group of black-armored and white-feathered figures appeared in front of them.

These soldiers who had fought a bloody battle had already closed their eyes forever. However, their postures were still as if they were protecting the people behind them.

The modao in their hands was raised.

This shocking scene would forever remain in the hearts of many people.

The black-armored and white-feathered general sat in the middle of the mountain of corpses. He closed his eyes and lowered his head. The corners of his mouth gently curled up at an almost invisible angle. He died with a smile.
