Chapter 2: Oasis Encounter

At four o'clock, the camp set off on time, and although the sun had not yet set, there was already a hint of coolness. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the second daughter has changed into a thick cotton clothes, save a while and then change, an hour later this dress can be used.

The Five Elements Banner Sect members also hung neatly, Wei Yixiao was responsible for leading the way, and Zhuang Zheng gave an order, and the team began to set off.

After three days of walking day and night, I had walked 800 miles, and the more I walked in the northwest direction, the more flora and fauna appeared on the road, and sometimes I could come across a clear spring. Obviously, the desert is also semi-arid.

At one o'clock on the fourth day, the procession had been marching for seven and a half hours in a row, the men and horses were tired, and the camels were also tired, which should have been repaired half an hour ago, just because according to Wei Yixiao's understanding, there was a large oasis fifty miles ahead, and even a small village for resting.

Everyone has been nibbling on dry food for five days in a row, and they also want to eat some hot food, so they have persevered until now.

Getting closer and closer, along the way, there are more and more willows, sea buckthorn and so on, and the green color gradually appears, and birds appear in the sky.

Everyone and others were excited, especially Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo were obviously happy, the dry food that they had eaten for five days was nothing, the key was that the past five days had been too monotonous, if it weren't for the existence of Zhang Wuji, it would have been unimaginable.

Soon, a large patch of green appeared in the eyes, although the grass was not high, but it had already sprouted, and green shoots also appeared on the willow trees, and everyone who saw it was in a good mood.

This oasis is very large, a little looking, can be 2,000 acres in size, there is a small village, there are only a dozen houses, very sturdy, near the water source. The whole body is surrounded by a solid stone wall, which is half a foot high, that is, to guard against wild wolves, if there is really an idea of sand thieves to hit them, this wall has no meaning.

There were already three groups of men and horses stopped to rest near the water source, one was a caravan of about 100 people, the cattle were all camels, and they were loaded with goods.

One is a team of twenty people, with only simple luggage, dressed as Jianghu people.

The last one was a little weird, looking like a rich man's house, with a white tent, women in white veils coming and going, and many guards and servants on the periphery.

The group of Zhang Wuji and others was obviously the largest, and the arrival of such a horse team composed of almost all sturdy men attracted the attention of the three parties.

It also aroused the alarm of small villages.

The water source was not large, and Zhuang Zheng led the team straight to the northernmost point, stopping ten meters north of the camp of the team in the white tent.

Zhuang Zheng said: "Set up camp." ”

The brothers of the Five Elements Banner dismounted one after another, although they were very tired after a night of marching, but in the end, they were warriors with kung fu foundations, and they were much stronger than ordinary sergeants. Pitch the tent and pitch the tent, take care of the horses, take care of the horses, everything goes in order.

Soon, tents were set up, and a large livestock pen was also encircled, and the guards were in place, which was very efficient.

Just as the Mingjiao people were camping, the caravan left the camp in silence, seeing that it was heading towards the east, and during the whole process, they didn't dare to look this way. In silence, it soon disappeared from the vision of the oasis.

The horse team composed of twenty people from the rivers and lakes looked at this huge horse team with complicated eyes. Seven hundred high-quality camels and five hundred elite war horses. Five hundred sturdy warriors in leather armor, with long boots on their feet, iron helmets on their heads, and golden stalks, looked like the style of the leather armor helmets of the Mongol cavalry, but they were different.

There is a big flame pattern on the golden daze, everyone is carrying a waist knife, a bow and arrow, five flying spears are inserted on the back, and five small axes are hung on the waist, this is the standard equipment of the Mingjiao Five Elements Banner Ruijin Banner, but how did Mingjiao start public activities again, and just look at the force of this Ruijin Banner, the strength of Mingjiao is really not to be underestimated, it is rumored that Mingjiao has been in decline for a long time, and the six major factions of the Central Plains have attacked the top of light, such rumors are really outrageous.

The leader of the team looked very carefully, and immediately ordered his subordinates to pack their luggage and prepare to leave, Ruijin Banner such a large team appeared in the desert, there must be something big to happen, they are just a small pony team of twenty people, when the situation is feasible, occasionally make a cameo appearance in the work of sand pirates, such a dangerous place is better to avoid quickly, otherwise even if Ruijin Banner's subordinates are merciful and do not clean up themselves, it is not their own miscellaneous fish that can withstand the pond fish.

In the blink of an eye, two of the three teams repairing in the water source left, only one of them had not moved, and there were many of their escort warriors, there were more than a hundred people, these warriors looked at the Ming Sect people camping at such a close distance from themselves, although they were very vigilant, but they did not have the slightest panic and fear, Zhang Wuji, who was watching, nodded, it seems that the identity of the owner in the tent is not ordinary.

Zhuang Zheng came to Zhang Wuji's side and said, "Sect Master, the camp tent has been set up, please ask the Sect Master to rest." ”

Zhang Wuji said: "Okay, send someone to the village to ask, buy some living things, and make some hot food for the brothers." ”

Zhuang Zheng said: "Yes, sect leader." "Turn and leave.

Zhang Wuji didn't move his steps, looking at the green water in front of him was very comfortable, Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo looked at this little Haizi, and the expectation in their eyes was revealed.

Zhang Wuji shook his head, naturally knowing what they were thinking, and said, "Go get some water and scrub it in the tent, you can't enter the lake, that's disrespectful to the god of nature." ”

Xiao Zhao showed a clear look on his face, and Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji thoughtfully, a little ashamed.

Zhang Wuji said: "Okay, let's go." ”

The second daughter walked towards the tent, and when Hou Cheng saw it, he glanced at the accompanying brothers, and immediately two guards followed the second daughter.

These two women, don't look at their previous identities, the possibility of becoming the sect leader's wife in the future is basically a certainty, although they are still showing people as the sect leader's maids, but if anyone really treats them as maids, they will be ready to be unlucky, Hou Cheng and others still have this bit of eyesight.

Zhang Wuji naturally saw it, but he didn't speak, there are some things that don't need to be said, just know it.

The two girls entered the tent and did not come out, and the two guards walked towards the lake with a wooden barrel.

Ten Ruijinqi brothers walked briskly towards the gate of the small village, although they walked, but they were not much worse than ordinary people running.

Wei Yixiao and Zhuang Zheng walked over.

Zhang Wuji looked at Haizi and said, "King Wei and Commander Zhuang, can you see which way it is?"
