Chapter 1401: Is There Still Hope for HerChapter 1843 Something's Wrong

Yelü Shenxuan frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

When was the latest battle report from Yiqiu's mountain-moving campaign delivered

Yelü Shenxuan asked Yichu to move the mountains, who was the commander in charge of the Tiger Leaping Gorge direction of the Liao army.

Immediately, a general began to search for the battle report. Upon finding it, he stood up and reported to his prince: "Your Highness, it is from two hours ago. It states that the main force will be marching through Tiger Leap Cliff, and it includes pre-battle reconnaissance and operational plans."

This made Yelü Shenxuan's face darken.

"Pre-war reconnaissance If he had actually done that, would he have been ambushed by the Qin army at Tiger Leap Cliff Such an obvious terrain, even if I were the defending army, I would definitely deploy a force there to ambush. Even if it was useless, it would only cost some manpower and effort. But if it worked, the gain would be enormous! This Yiqu man moves mountains and talks about emptiness becoming reality, and reality becoming emptiness. He reads those military books written by Qin people and still confidently says there will be no mistakes!"

After unleashing a torrent of curses, Yelu Shenxuan's heart was filled with rage. If it weren't for the fact that Yiqu BanShan was his direct lineage, simply based on the fact that he allowed the main force to suffer catastrophic losses at Tiger Leap Cliff would have been enough for Yelu Shenxuan to immediately deal with Yiqu BanShan.

Even so, Yelu Shenxuan had already made up his mind to immediately move the Yiqu tribe into cold storage after the war, and leave them to graze sheep in a corner of the grassland for the rest of their lives.

"Where is Yuan Shi Dao Why hasn't he come back yet!"

No one answered that.

As Yelü Shenxuan's personal bodyguard, Yuan Shidao was the only one authorized to give orders to him. Yuan Shidao was only responsible to Yelü Shenxuan and independent of the entire Liao army's combat system. Naturally, he was not subject to any rules within the military that monitored his movements.

Seeing no response to his words, Yelü Shenxuan already knew the answer. His mood grew worse and worse.

When the main force led by Yiqi Ban Shan was ambushed, Yelü Shenxuan immediately sent Yuan Shidao out to kill the Qin army general who had launched the surprise attack. However, nearly an hour has passed, and Yuan Shidao has not yet returned. This means that Yuan Shidao's decapitation operation must have encountered trouble.

Just when Yelu Shenxuan was in a terrible mood, a commotion of footsteps came. Yelu Shenxuan suddenly raised his head and saw a squad of soldiers rushing over with stretchers, desperately carrying something.

"Prince! Something terrible has happened!"

The leading soldier fell to his knees before Yelü Shenxuan, crying out, “Lord Yuan… he… he is gravely wounded and unconscious!”

Yelü Shenxuan strode forward, and when he saw the charred body on the stretcher, he could hardly recognize it as Yuan Shidao, who had been protecting him day and night.

That body was charred black, almost burned to a crisp. All its clothes and hair were gone, consumed by the flames. Most horrifying of all was that one of his legs was missing. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest proving he was still alive, anyone who saw him would have thought he was just a corpse.

Knowing full well the strength of Yuan Shidao, Yelu Shenxuan's pupils shrank to their limits when he saw the miserable figure on the stretcher.

Though unbelievable, the shiny bald head, with facial features faintly recognizable, was indeed Yuan Shidao himself.

"How did he get hurt!" Yelü Shenxuan was both shocked and angry, demanding an answer in a loud voice.ere about four thousand people. The supplies they were escorted with numbered at least over two thousand carriages.Even with Su Pingbei mentally prepared beforehand, the sight was so grand that he cou...
