Capítulo 1957: Chapter 146: The Reckless Fighter
“All soldiers, you’ve worked hard. No need for formalities, just find a place to rest. General Du is a hero of our country, and I, the old man, will do my utmost.”
Du Ruhui naturally took out another bottle of elixir and casually handed it to Lin Zhengren: “Zhengren, check the soldiers’ injuries and help them recuperate. I need to focus on treating General Du and can’t spare a hand.”
The soldiers were naturally full of gratitude.
Lin Zhengren respectfully took the elixir and went off, inquiring about the soldiers’ well-being, chatting about their hotowns, and talking about the future, showing great benevolence.
Handling these matters was certainly not difficult for him.
Only then did Du Ruhui focus all his attention back on Du Yehu.
This was an exceptionally important battle, and he kept his considerations for this battle in his heart.
Judging by the traces of the battle, Jiang Wang’s final strike was intended to kill Lin Zhengren’s true self. In an ergency, failing to make a decisive blow and choosing to retreat with a heavy injury was indeed a wise choice.
He did avoid direct confrontation with because of this choice…
From this analysis, there shouldn’t be any doubts about this battle. Both sides’ resolve was very firm.
Lin Zhengren and Du Yehu both displayed remarkable prowess, and Jiang Wang indeed possessed the power to crush them.
The only question might be whether Jiang Wang had ti to finish with another strike, making it impossible for Du Yehu to retrieve his soul.
Judging from Du Yehu’s current injuries, without tily treatnt, it’s almost a fatal wound… so Jiang Wang not adding that strike was a completely reasonable choice.
After all, in Jiang Wang’s position, one must consider there’s still an enemy lurking unseen, with even stronger foes possibly appearing at any mont…
He had to engage in a swift battle, with no room for entanglent.
Turning over these thoughts in his mind, Du Ruhui’s hands didn’t stop moving.
…
After a long ti, even the State Minister of Zhuang Country showed signs of obvious fatigue on his face, and only then did Du Yehu wake from his coma.
His face was covered in a bristly beard, now ragged and uneven, withered here and charred there, making him look weak and disheveled, yet his eyes still shone with wildness, with the light undiminished.
At this mont, Du Ruhui released his hands, stood up, and his expression turned very serious.
“Who allowed you to co? Who let you mobilize troops on your own to encircle Jiang Wang in Irredeemable City?!”
Du Yehu remained silent, lying on the ground, supported by the charred earth, not saying a word.
Du Ruhui questioned him continuously: “Do you know why Irredeemable City could establish itself here?”
“Do you know what Jiang Wang’s identity is now? Which country he serves? The Court has absolved him of the cri of communicating with demons; on what grounds did you ambush him? If Qi Country holds us accountable, how many heads do you have to cut off?”
Du Ruhui was simply heartbroken: “Do you know how much trouble your recklessness could bring to our country? Leading an army, can you really be so rash?”
“Actually…” Lin Zhengren interjected at the right mont: “It was I who first discovered Jiang Wang’s presence in Irredeemable City and inford General Du. Only then did General Du mobilize troops to set an ambush with … If there is any bla for this trip, it’s on Lin Zhengren. It has nothing to do with General Du.”
“I don’t know anything about what’s right or wrong,” Du Yehu said in a muffled voice. “I can’t care that much! Jiang Wang colluded with Bai Gu Dao, causing my holand to fall into the Underworld. Given the chance, I must kill him! Once I trusted him greatly, now I hate him just as much. It’s my own doing, and if anyone’s to bla, let the Court take ! Du Yehu will take full responsibility, blaming no one else!”
Du Ruhui, his beard trembling with anger, pointed at him with fury: “You, you!”
He flicked his robe sleeve and stord away in anger.
