Chapter 110 Harvest and Peril
On the mountaintop, Lu Yuan's men began searching. The wealth that these people from the Western Rong Dynasty had recently looted was stored in their camp.
Among them were grains, and even more gold, silver and valuables.
These items can all be exchanged in the Hall of Merit.
About an hour later, Lu Yuan was sitting by the campfire on the mountaintop eating meat. He had expended a lot of energy in the battle today. Sun Li sat beside him. The latter had been stabbed in the shoulder. When Zhou Xiong led his men to resist the Xi Rong's true energy, if it weren't for Sun Li's help...
He took the blow by kicking him; Zhou Xiong is probably already dead on the battlefield.
Just then, Zhou He hurried over and whispered to Lu Yuan, "My lord, everything has been tallied. There are about 10,000 shi of grain, 280,000 taels of silver, and about 1,000 taels of gold."
These Western Rong people plundered many villages and towns, and these things were all looted by them.
Lu Yuan nodded, and Zhou He continued, "And what about the tens of thousands of civilians who have been arrested? What should we do with them?"
The former pondered for a moment and said, "Distribute all the grain, cattle, and sheep inside to the people. Keep half of the silver for me, and distribute the rest to the brothers below."
Lu Yuan has always been generous.
In this way, everyone gained quite a lot from this battle.
"Yes, sir." Zhou He immediately grinned and withdrew.
It was already dusk, and Lu Yuan planned to rest for the night before setting off the next day.
After all, there are still many wounded people on the mountain who need basic treatment. If they set off directly, many of them might not make it back.
After receiving their share of food, many people began to descend the mountain, as they did not want to stay there any longer.
They all wished they could sprout wings and fly home immediately.
After the camp was set up and the silver was distributed, it was completely dark.
Zhou He mysteriously ordered someone to carry over a box. When Lu Yuan saw it, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's this?"
"Take a look for yourself," Zhou He said with a smile.
Lu Yuan glanced at him, opened the box, and saw that it contained a lot of pills, some for the Refining Stage, some for the True Essence Stage, and some for the Qi Condensation Stage. What caught Lu Yuan's eye the most was that there were also two Heavenly Origin Grasses inside, which were rare and precious herbs that could be consumed by those in the True Essence Stage.
"We just found these under the bed in the Western Rong general's tent. They should be the reserve pills for this army. They're all here." Zhou He's eyes showed joy. In fact, these pills were the most precious.
Compared to this, other things really fall short.
Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately said, "Leave the pills for the True Essence Realm and the罡气 Realm for me, and you can deal with the rest yourself."
"Alright, I'll listen to you." After Zhou He finished speaking, he took out a small medicine box and handed it to Lu Yuan, containing True Essence Pills, Qi Refining Pills, and rare and precious materials used in the True Essence Realm.
He then ordered his men to carry the box to other places.
At this moment, Lu Yuan had also finished eating and drinking. He picked up his small medicine box and walked towards his own tent.
With these rare and precious materials, if he can stabilize his cultivation, he will be able to break through again.
Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on my lips.
After entering the tent, I immediately opened the system panel.
Name: Lu Yuan
Age: 17
[Cultivation Technique: Fourth-Rank Cultivation Technique "Spring and Autumn Saber Technique" (10231/10000 Great Success, Breakthrough?)]
[Fourth-grade martial art, "Primordial Qi Gong," True Essence (701/1000 Minor Success)]

[Third-Rank Skill: Breaking the Qi Arrow Technique (981/1000 Minor Success)]
Looking at the system data, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Their strength is improving quite rapidly.
In particular, the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique has reached perfection.
Then, he chose to break through directly.
The next moment, his understanding of swordsmanship reached a new level.
[Cultivation Technique: Fourth-Rank Cultivation Technique "Spring and Autumn Saber Technique" (231/30000 Perfection)]
At the same time, various experiences from the military were also taking shape in Lu Yuan's mind.
A moment later, the data appeared.
[The Grade 3 Formation "Mountain-Shaking Copper Gate Formation" (35/10000 Mastery) Additional Effects: Super Defense, Mountain-Shaking and Earth-Shaking]
"I should be able to achieve the Great Perfection of True Essence today," Lu Yuan thought to himself, and swallowed a True Essence Pill.
Immediately afterwards, an astonishing energy began to circulate within his body.
Lu Yuan felt the power within him growing stronger.
Especially in the dantian, warm currents constantly rippled.
About an hour later, when the effects of the medicine began to subside, Lu Yuan picked up another pill and swallowed it.
Now, all he needs to do is reach perfection as soon as possible, then consume the two rare and precious herbs to nourish his spirit. At that time, his cultivation will be able to advance even further.
While Lu Yuan was cultivating, he was unaware that an army from the Western Rong was heading towards Mount Moya.
They were a force of ten thousand men sent by the Western Rong to fight against the Dayong. They were passing by Moya Mountain and were preparing to resupply there.
They were all Western Rong wolf soldiers.
After losing hundreds of thousands of troops, the number of wolf soldiers in the Western Rong was not very large.
Currently, they are being transferred to Dayong.
This team can be considered the vanguard.
Knowing there was a campsite at Moya Mountain, they traveled through the night to rest there. No one expected such a thing to happen.
Down the mountain, the Imperial Guard scouts, who were resting in a valley, heard the commotion. The squad leader, upon seeing the densely packed figures along the mountain path, couldn't help but change his expression.
He barked at his sleeping men, "Get up! Stop sleeping, the Western Rong wolf soldiers are here!"
Upon hearing this, the scouts jumped up in shock, only to witness a scene that sent chills down their spines.
One of them couldn't help but whisper, "How many people are there?"
"Judging from the scale and the commotion, there are around ten thousand men. This newly appointed Wolf Cavalry Captain is really unlucky; he's been cornered on the mountain and is probably finished," the squad leader said softly.
After a moment of contemplation, he turned to a scout and whispered, "Xiao Qi, ride your horse to the main camp immediately and report to Commander Xiao, explaining the current situation clearly."
"Boss, even if I travel through the night, I probably won't reach the camp until tomorrow night. I estimate that Lu Yuan and his men have less than two thousand capable fighters left, and they won't even last tonight. Is it worth it?"
"Just go when I tell you to. Stop arguing. Whether it's meaningful or not, you have to go. We need to let Commander Xiao know the situation here. Black Hawk has been released and won't be back for a while."
The squad leader's stern voice rang out.
The scout named Xiao Qi immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"
Then, he quietly retreated, leaped onto the horse's back, and galloped towards the camp.
The remaining scouts looked at their squad leader and asked, "Boss, what do we do?"
Their faces showed seriousness.
The commander of ten thousand men, led by the Western Rong, was at the Innate Realm, and his followers outnumbered him considerably.
In this battle, no one believed that Lu Yuan could survive.
The sergeant's white beard fluttered in the wind. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "We must notify the Wolf Cavalry Captain first, otherwise we'll die even faster if someone sneaks up on us. Fire the signal arrow immediately, and then we'll retreat."
Several Imperial Guards soldiers nodded. They understood that at such close range, if they fired a signal arrow, they would be immediately pursued by the Western Rong wolf soldiers. However, as soldiers, they could not stand by and watch their comrades in danger without warning them.
Then, the group began to retreat, and took out the message arrows from their pockets. Without hesitation, they immediately opened them.
"Whoosh!"
More than ten flames shot into the sky, glowing with a poignant red light.
Then it exploded in the sky.
Not only were they spotted by the soldiers patrolling the mountain, but they were also discovered by the wolf soldiers coming up the mountain.
In a short while, hundreds of riders charged down.
"Walk!"
The squad leader shouted, then spurred his warhorse and led his men in a desperate retreat.
On the other side, Xiao Heng, who was leading his troops through the night to discuss how to advance the battle, had just sat down.
"Splash!"
A black eagle had already flown in.
A sharp claw, as sharp as a blade, landed on his shoulder.
This scene drew the attention of the other generals, and Xiao Heng said in a deep voice, "This must mean there's been a result from the cliffside. If this obstacle can be removed, the newly arrived border troops will be able to advance more easily."
I just don't know if Lu Yuan can do it.
Then, without hesitation, he took out the letter and began to read it.
