284: The one with the head is Uroli
"A Leng, wear this," Wuluoli said in a deep voice, handing the red robe to A Leng.
"Huh???" A Leng looked bewildered.
He held the red robe, momentarily at a loss.
He was just A Leng, but he wasn't stupid; if he were, he wouldn't have been in the position of Local Official before.
He understood very well the significance of wearing the red robe at this moment, because he also understood the qin language!
"Your Highness, I taught you qin language..." A Leng murmured.
Wuluoli was startled by his words, then his face flushed red, not knowing what to say. He was a bit annoyed; how could he have forgotten about this!
Then he feigned composure and said, "You misheard. I told you to throw it away for me."
A Leng nodded after hearing this, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Then he handed the red robe to a North Sea Cavalry Soldier galloping beside him and said in the Xiongnu language, "This is because His Highness admires your loyalty in still following him under these circumstances. You are true warriors!
So His Highness has specially bestowed this red robe upon you, to prove that you are the most loyal warrior in this team!"
That North Sea Cavalry Soldier was overjoyed, his face flushed, whether from the intense jostling or excitement, he solemnly and resolutely accepted the red robe and draped it over his back!
"This Subordinate thanks His Highness for the reward!" the North Sea Cavalry Soldier shouted loudly. At this moment, even if it meant dying for him, there would be no complaints!
"Cough, cough!" Wuluoli's face turned red upon hearing this. He then feigned a cough, but discreetly gave A Leng a look.
"Ah, right, His Highness wants you to go to another team," A Leng understood, pointing in a direction and speaking to the red-robed North Sea Cavalry Soldier.
"Yes!"
Watching the North Sea Cavalry Soldier gallop off resolutely, Wuluoli and A Leng both breathed a sigh of relief.
It was better for the most conspicuous symbol, the red robe, to be farther away from them now!
"Whoosh!"
Almost the instant they exhaled, a cold arrow suddenly flew over. The sharp arrow pierced the air, creating a whistling sound, and at the same time, it accurately passed through the red robe and embedded itself in the North Sea Cavalry Soldier's back!
The North Sea Cavalry Soldier fell instantly, dropping straight from his horse.
The two immediately took another sharp breath simultaneously, then bent down and frantically accelerated forward.
Now that the red-robed scapegoat was dead, it was a good time to escape!
"Congratulations to the player for slaying an alien cavalry Soldier of Special-level Soldier realm. Reward: 100 Merits points!"
"Not Wuluoli?" Lin Yue muttered to himself. Wuluoli was a High-level Military General, but the game system prompted him that it was a Special-level Soldier. Had his arrow, aimed at the red robe, hit the wrong person?
Then he scanned carefully with his eyes and immediately spotted the true Wuluoli's location!
Seeing that he had taken off the red robe, Lin Yue understood. He then continued to shout, "The one wearing the shiny armor is Wuluoli! Catch Wuluoli!"
"The one wearing the shiny armor is Wuluoli! Catch Wuluoli!"
"The one wearing the shiny armor is Wuluoli! Catch Wuluoli!"
...People around him kept repeating his words. Lin Yue then added, "The dazzling one is him!"
Because the real reason Lin Yue immediately found Wuluoli's location was his dazzling armor, which could blind people and make him the brightest person on the entire battlefield when worn!
Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh wryly. What kind of sensible person would wear such bright, blinding armor to the battlefield? Wasn't that just making himself a living target?
At least in the Great Wall Legion, Lin Yue had never seen anyone do it!
Even in the era of thermal weapons in later generations, generals going to the front lines would dress the same as their Soldiers to prevent snipers from targeting them in the dark.
Lin Yue didn't know what kind of huge tumor Wuluoli had in his brain to think of wearing shiny armor to the battlefield, but it did make his pursuit easier!
These words were relayed verbatim to Wuluoli and A Leng.
A Leng immediately spoke upon hearing this, "Your Highness, I told you long ago..."
"Shut up!" Wuluoli said angrily, cutting off A Leng's accusation.
Then, while galloping, he took off his armor, expending great effort to remove the shiny armor.
Fortunately, his warhorse was a Earth-level warhorse, allowing him to keep up with the team and not fall behind.
But when he looked back, he found that the Qin Army behind them was getting closer and closer!
Moreover, the Qin Army had already started shooting arrows. Although they hadn't wounded him, many North Sea Cavalry Soldiers had already perished.
He urged his warhorse faster, but then heard the Qin Army behind him shout:
"The man with the long beard is Wuluoli! Catch Wuluoli!"
"The man with the long beard is Wuluoli! Catch Wuluoli!"
...These beards were grown by Wuluoli when he resisted the Dingling People in the North Sea, to make himself appear mature and reliable!
He even joked with Elder Aikala: I swear not to shave until Lin Yue is killed!
But life is unpredictable. He never expected that these beards would have to be shaved off because of Lin Yue's pursuit.
He felt some reluctance, hesitation, and a touch of melancholy about it.
"Your Highness, shave it quickly!
I know you said you wouldn't shave until Lin Yue is killed!
But now is not the time for impulsive actions!" A Leng said anxiously when he saw Wuluoli's hesitation.
Wuluoli's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, shaving off a few whiskers. Then he glared fiercely at A Leng, hardened his heart, and shaved off his beard, saying, "Shut up!"
History always has its similarities!
If Wuluoli had lived a few hundred years longer and met Cao Cao, the two of them would certainly have become good friends.
Because the two shared many similarities, such as the same escape, the same discarding of red robes, the same shaving of beards, and the same annoyance with people who were hard to categorize as smart or foolish. One was named Yang Xiu, the other A Leng.
"The man with the short beard is Wuluoli! The man with the short beard is Wuluoli! Capture Wuluoli alive!"
The Qin Army's shouts came again!
Wuluoli didn't hesitate this time, shaving off the remaining one-third length of his beard completely. Since he was already shaving his beard, there wasn't much difference between shaving a lot or a little.
Although the shave wasn't neat, as long as they weren't too close, no one would be able to tell he had a beard!
Wuluoli was like a startled bird at this moment; whenever the Qin Army behind him shouted, his heart would tremble!
As expected, his every move was clearly observed by Lin Yue. Lin Yue showed a slight smile and said, "The one with a head is Wuluoli! Capture Wuluoli alive!"
"The one with a head is Wuluoli!"
The Qin Army once again spread Lin Yue's words all around.
Wuluoli instinctively picked up his short knife after hearing this, but as the cold blade touched his neck, Wuluoli suddenly realized!
