Chapter 450: The Dead Are Armored
"Why did the Wei army appear in this place?"
Zhou Fei was lying in a bush, holding a telescope in his hand and a dog's tail grass in his mouth, observing the situation in the distance.
As for the telescope, it was redeemed when the previous system was still there, and there are many post-modern equipment in the RV that were exchanged indiscriminately, but after the exchange, they have basically not been used much, and they are piled up in the RV like garbage.
Now it's the turn of these "garbage" to come in handy.
For example, this telescope, it's a battlefield weapon!
It's a pity that the number is too small, otherwise Zhou Fei would have stuffed one into the hands of the Tang generals.
It was precisely because of this telescope that Zhou Fei could clearly see the Wei State camp fifty miles ahead.
Only the state of Wei.
The coalition army that came from the north should be the grassland cavalry of Wei, Yan and King Jinzuo, but only one of Wei appeared in the telescope, and the other two were completely nowhere to be found.
What's going on?
Zhou Fei carefully observed the entire Wei army camp, and after making sure that it was not mixed with other countries' troops, he quietly left the hidden area.
Back in her small camp, the Empress Dowager Wei Wan was cooking food, some wild vegetables and lumpy plant roots, stewed together haphazardly. It doesn't look good, but the fragrance is quite strong.
Wei Wan said a little embarrassed: "I haven't cooked anything myself for too long, it may not be delicious, you will just take it." ”
Zhou Fei said: "It's a great honor to be able to eat the food cooked by the Queen Mother herself, not to mention that it doesn't seem to be very difficult to eat." ”
Wei Wan handed over a pair of chopsticks, which were actually two slightly sharpened wooden sticks, "Taste it." ”
Zhou Fei took it and poked a piece of what was suspected to be a "potato" from the pot.
There are no potatoes in this world, so Zhou Fei didn't know what this thing was, and after it was cold, he took a small bite, well, it looked good.
"Is it delicious?" asked Wei Wan.
Zhou Fei nodded: "Not bad." What's this?"
"Ground grass. Wei Wan said.
Zhou Fei sighed.
It seems that in your hometown, the root grass is also called a potato, right?
If I'm not mistaken.
Could this be the so-called Great Cosmic Faith Disturbance?
"What are you thinking?" Wei Wan couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhou Fei in a daze.
Zhou Fei hurriedly came back to his senses, drove away those chaotic thoughts, and said while eating: "I found the Wei army in front, they seem to have broken away from the coalition army and have already acted alone. ”
Wei Wan said: "The disintegration of the coalition forces is an inevitable result, but I didn't expect that the coalition forces in the north would collapse so quickly. It stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a situation, Yongyan is also the former crown prince of Wei no matter what, and the commander of the Wei army doesn't even give this face?"
"Maybe in the hearts of the Wei people, they haven't taken this prince seriously for a long time. Zhou Fei said lightly.
Wei Wan pondered for a moment and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, the people of Wei are so proud that they are conceited, maybe Yongyan has become a shame in their minds, the former prince actually ran to be in the company of those barbarians in the grassland, it is simply a loss of face." ”
"So Wei Guo can't become a big thing. Zhou Fei came to a conclusion.
"Then let's get around it. There is no need to clash with them at this time. Wei Wan said.
Zhou Fei nodded: "Let's set off when we are full, this area is very vast, we can avoid most of the eyes and ears if we walk along the west." ”
Wei Wan also agreed to Zhou Fei's proposal.
After eating and drinking, the two embarked on the journey again.
The rest of the way, there was no obstacle.
But the mood of the two became more and more depressed, and even Zhou Fei was on the verge of going berserk for a while.
The reason is simple, everywhere you go, the blood flows and the pestle flows.
The coalition forces have achieved a brutal and inhumane slaughter policy in the territory of Datang, just like a swarm of locusts that cover the sky, and everywhere they go, not a single grass grows.
The locusts are going for the fertile fields, while the coalition forces are going for the people.
The corpses of the Tang people were discarded on the side of the road, some were still relatively new, while some had begun to decompose, most of the women were unclothed, and it was obvious that they had been violated in front of them, the men were basically mutilated, the missing arms and legs were nothing, they were basically disemboweled, and the internal organs flowed all over the ground.
The most unbearable thing is the little ones.
The frenzied coalition forces did not spare even children, whether they were teenagers and girls, or swaddling babies, they all killed them.
Wei Wan looked at these corpses, her eyes full of sadness.
"They were terrified. Wei Wan said: "For thousands of years, Datang has been an invincible beast in the hearts of other countries, and the people of Datang are the hair on the beast. These hairs appear to be soft, but once the beast enters the attack state, the hairs will become hard and become the armor on the beast's body. The coalition forces felt fear in these people, and fear prompted them to do such cruel things. The more brutal the means, the more they can cover up their incompetence. ”
Zhou Fei saluted these corpses and said, "I'm sorry, Datang failed to protect you, but your hatred, Datang will not forget, and the academy will not forget." Blood debt can only be paid with blood!"
Wei Wan sighed: "Gather all the corpses and burn them." ”
Zhou Fei nodded and began to carry these corpses, each time he dragged a corpse, Zhou Fei's heart would sink a little, and his emotions would be angry.
Wei Wan noticed that Zhou Fei was about to run away, so she immediately asked him to stop and pick it up herself.
This picture is unimaginable to those people above the court, the queen mother of the Tang Dynasty, wearing coarse linen clothes, dragging the corpses of the people in the countryside, blood stained her body, but it did not make her feel terrible. On the contrary, the danger of this moment is so radiant.
After all the corpses were gathered together, Zhou Fei lit the dry wood around him.
The flames instantly rose to a height of nearly ten meters.
Even if Zhou Fei and Wei Wan were both cultivators, they couldn't hold back the heat of the flames at this moment, and hurriedly retreated.
"Let's go, this fire will soon provoke spies, and it will be useless to stay longer. Wei Wan said.
Zhou Fei nodded silently.
Five days later.
They walked over the Great Cliff.
As an important place for soldiers, the coalition forces did not send troops to garrison this place, because the coalition forces firmly believed that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to have troops outflank from the other side of the cliff.
So it's empty, it's a bleak place.
Further on, it is the last city in the north of the Tang Dynasty, Tuwa City.
The place where the Zhou Family's Flying Tiger Army was stationed.
"I'll go take a look. Zhou Fei said.
Wei Wan said: "I'll go with you." ”
Zhou Fei shook his head: "No need, I'll just go over and take a look, and I'll be back soon." ”
Wei Wan was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here." ”
Zhou Fei turned around and hurried to Dawei City as fast as he could.
Although he knew very well that there could be nothing left here, he always had concerns in his heart if he didn't take a look.
Wei Wan thought that she would wait for a long time, a day or even longer, but she never expected that Zhou Fei would come back an hour later.
His face was calm, except for the angry flames dancing in his eyes.
"You...... Are you alright?" asked Wei Wan tentatively.
Zhou Fei took a deep breath: "Let's go." ”
Seeing this, Wei Wan didn't say more.
Another day later, they crossed the border of the Tang Dynasty and entered the grassland.
"The Star Palace Pavilion has always been on the grassland. Wei Wan explained: "The Demon Sect originated here, and as a branch of the Demon Sect, the Star Palace Pavilion will naturally not leave the base camp. It's just that in order to cover up his existence, the entrance of the Star Palace Pavilion has an extremely complex barrier, and it is necessary to use a special method to see the entrance gate. ”
Zhou Fei said: "I understand, it is equivalent to putting a combination lock on the door of my house. ”
Wei Wan: "......"
"Ahem, when can we see the gate?" Zhou Fei changed the subject.
Wei Wan raised her head: "Wait until the full moon." ”
Zhou Fei said: "Isn't this setting too old-fashioned?"
Wei Wan: "......"
Zhou Fei: "When I didn't say it. ”
Wei Wan couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Actually, I don't dare to guarantee that I can see the gate." ”
"What?" Zhou Fei was shocked: "You forgot the password of the door at home?"
Wei Wan automatically ignored the strange words in Zhou Fei's words and explained: "It's because there is an extra red moon in the sky. ”
Zhou Fei glanced up at Hongyue and muttered, "That old thing." ”
"Since the appearance of the Red Moon, I have been silently paying attention to the astrology, and I am worried that the Red Moon will come and the astrology will change, and I will never be able to find the entrance to the Star Palace Pavilion again. Wei Wan said: "However, after many days of observation, I am sure that the red moon has not interfered with the original astrology, so I will set out to find the Star Palace Pavilion." ”
Zhou Fei said: "It seems that we can only wait, but fortunately, tomorrow should be the night of the full moon, and we are lucky." ”
Wei Wan said: "Actually, I don't have to wait for the real full moon, I can try it first tonight." ”
This time it was Zhou Fei's turn to speak, and only after a moment did he say: "Queen Mother, let's finish speaking in one breath in the future." ”
Wei Wan smiled narrowly.
Seeing this smile, Zhou Fei understood that he was "teased" a little.
Although she is the queen mother, Wei Wan is not very old, she is in her thirties and less than forty years old, if she is placed in Zhou Fei's era, this age is the most hilarious age.
It's just that Wei Wan tried her best to maintain her demeanor all the way, causing Zhou Fei to forget that she was actually a young man.
Night.
Zhou Fei went to hunt two prairie hares, and waited for Wei Wan to open the door of the Star Palace Pavilion while barbecuing.
Wei Wan, on the other hand, frequently looked up to observe the astrological aspects, and at the same time used wooden sticks to draw various shapes on the ground, feeling like those students in later generations were solving math problems, focusing, but it didn't seem to be very effective......
For Zhou Fei, there is nothing wrong with writing a solution to a math problem, no matter whether it is or not.
I hope Wei Wan won't be like herself, and she will write an explanation and there will be no follow-up.
