In fact, this was nothing to the Tang Army. It was countless times more difficult to cross the desert back then, but they still persevered.
The siege had lasted for more than half a month. Both sides were holding on, and this was just the beginning.
Finally, after a day of fighting, Tang Xiao dragged his tired body back to the marshal's residence.
Tang Xiaodao pulled a long face." Marshal, there's a guest!”
Tang Xiao was a little puzzled that he still had guests.
"Who is it?"
"Who else could it be? It's Hero Guo!"
What was he doing here?
Guo Jing was a good person, but he was really a little pedantic.
"Let me change my clothes and ask Hero Guo to wait in the lobby. Xiao Dao, don't pull a long face.”
Tang Xiao pinched Tang Xiaodao's tender face.
After a quick shower and a change of clothes, Tang Xiao went to the lobby.
"Hero Guo, long time no see!"
The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries before Guo Jing suddenly said,
"Tang Shuai, I don't know if I should say this!”
Tang Xiao was still smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile.
"Hero Guo, since you don't know, then don't say it. Don't hurt the harmony!”
He guessed what Guo Jing was going to say.
Guo Jing choked on his words, but everyone knew Guo Jing's character. He was even more stubborn, just like his brainless master, Ke Zhen.
"The people of the Great Zhou pay attention to the three cardinal guides and five constant virtues. I don't need to say much about the cardinal guides between monarch and minister!”
Tang Xiao had always disdained the three cardinal guides.
"Hero Guo, remember, this is the Tang Army's territory, not your Peach Blossom Island, and definitely not your home. If you're here as a guest, I welcome you.”
Tang Xiao didn't have the time to talk nonsense with them. The Turks were eyeing him like tigers. There was no point in talking to him about this.
Guo Jing was also furious." Tang Xiao, if the king wants me to die, I have to die. If the father wants my son to die, I have to die! As an important official of the Great Zhou, you privately raised an army. This is disloyalty! General Huo treated you like his own son. You didn't even show your face when he passed away. This is unfilial!”
"F * ck your mother! I'm loyal to my mother! There are hundreds of thousands of Turks outside. If I go back, you can guard this city. You only know how to chatter every day. If I go back, you can manage the nearly one million citizens of the Sixteen Cities of the Northern Desert.”
"You motherf * cker! I feel the most terrible about General Huo's death, but on one side, there are millions of people, and on the other side, there is General Huo. If I go back, General Huo's soul in heaven won't even close its eyes!”
"Scram, scram!"
Tang Xiao finally stopped laughing. He wanted to kill someone. If Guo Jing hadn't been helping him in the army for years, he would have killed him long ago.
Guo Jing was also angry, but he held it in. He was going to suppress his anger and continue to persuade Tang Xiao because he knew Tang Xiao's temper.
But at this moment, a slightly old voice sounded.
"Ignorant junior, how dare you act rashly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a finger wind quietly arrived.
Tang Xiao quickly dodged.”
Guo Jing knew that he was done for. He was afraid that such a thing would happen.
He and Tang Xiao had very different ideologies. They had quarreled often when they were in the army, and they had even cursed each other.
However, they were comrades after all, so they would not easily fall out.
When he heard this, he knew that this was his father-in-law, Medicine Master Huang. He was a person who did not care about etiquette.
Tang Xiao hated some people in the martial world, and Master Huang was one of them.
Guo Jing was just about to persuade him when Zilong arrived from the lobby.
Tang Xiao jumped up and struck the direction of the wind.
He was still unwilling to let go." You rat, you're courting death!”
Zi Long didn't know Guo Jing or Huang Rong. When he saw that Tang Shuai was already fighting with someone, he immediately pulled out his silver spear and stabbed at Guo Jing.
Time seemed to have stopped. For some reason, Tang Xiao's system lit up.
"The system has been revived. Please select a mission!”
"Option 1: Kill Apothecary Huang Guo Jing. Reward: 1,000 pieces of Radiant Armor!
Option 2: Repulse the two of them. Reward: Gao Shun and 800 Breaking Ranks!
Option 3: Kneel and beg for mercy. Reward: a box of sanitary pads!”
The system was back. There was no need to ask about the third option. What was the point of using that thing? Killing Guo Jing? Forget it. He was still a little reluctant. Besides, did he really think that Guo Jing was so easy to kill? He should choose the second option. Who asked the system to be the second option?
Besides, that was Gao Shun and Eight Hundred Breaking Ranks!
The Tang Army was strong, but Tang Xiao wasn't confident that he could defeat the best soldiers in China in his previous life. He knew his limits.
However, this Huang Yaoshi needed to be taught a lesson. This person was really annoying.
Huang Yaoshi had not expected that he would be entrusted by his daughter to come and help.
As an ambitious man in the martial world, he didn't like soldiers like Tang Xiao. He was just that arrogant.
But this time, he had really hit a nail in the coffin.
Although Tang Xiao was skinny, his palm was as strong as his old friend Hong Qigong.
