Chapter 17: Good and Bad Luck
A large team of 5,000 catchers and more than 100 strange people set off from Chang'an City, aiming at the Blood Wind Village outside the Tang Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Zhutou is naturally the first to lead the team in the front, this time, the imperial court is bound to win, and he must take off the heads of the two of them, and break the two of them into pieces.
What is more strange is that the team of 5,000 people opened the way in the front, and the 20,000 elite soldiers sent by the military department actually followed slowly in the rear, led by a general named Zhang Gui.
Wang Zhutou's heart was also bright, and he knew that Zhang Gui had a small calculation in his heart.
In this court, everyone looks kind and angry when they are twisted on a rope on the surface, but in fact, they all have their own careful thoughts, they are not like "long live long live, long live, long live", after half a lifetime, they finally climbed to the top of the court, and naturally they had to "treat" themselves.
In this military department, the atmosphere is slightly better, not like those civil officials in the court, but there are also some small ways.
The weight and confidence of each general's speech depends on the soldiers under his hands, those with many soldiers and strong combat effectiveness, the momentum of the generals who lead the soldiers are different, for example, the soldiers under your command are all dead, so how much confidence will you have in the military department?
Therefore, many generals will be prevaricated in battle, just to kill fewer soldiers, all for the so-called "confidence and weight of speaking", and it is precisely because of the spread of this bad atmosphere that the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty soldiers is low, which is really the misfortune of the country.
This Zhang Gui helped to fight the bandits this time, and naturally he also held this mentality of "retaining strength", so he let Wang Zhutou take the lead with the fast catchers.
The bandits have a long way to go, and it takes 1 month just to complete the border of Datang, which is enough to show the vastness of the territory of Datang.
Disciples of 15 sects like Qiao Bai and them naturally have carriages to sit on, and they don't have to ride horses to be exposed to the wind and sun outside, except for the bumpy points, they are also quite comfortable along the way.
There are the most people in the Tang Dynasty, there are more than 30 people, and they are naturally divided into 6 carriages, and in Qiao Bai's carriage, they are actually playing "fried golden flowers" together.
This is what Qiao Bai taught them, and the journey was boring, so they simply came to play cards.
Of course, Qiao Bai actually mainly wants to win, after all, he believes in his gambling skills.
At the beginning, Qiao Bai did win a lot, but later, Qiao Bai lost money again and again, and it was not until the end that he realized that the brothers who played cards with him were actually making a fortune.
Just like the "card rubbing" in the movie, they cast a spell to swap out the cards in their hand.
After being discovered by Qiao Bai, the brothers and sisters who came out of the old man also had embarrassment and apologies on their faces, and they returned the money to him one after another, after all, Qiao Bai was "red" on the neck of the junior brother at the beginning, but they could see it clearly under the martial arts field, and now that the old man was discovered, he naturally quickly returned the money with a smile.
Senior Brother Chuxin is a level 50 powerhouse, and even he is not Qiao Bai's opponent, let alone these people who are more than level 20?
They also planned to follow Qiao Bai and pay 1 million taels of silver, but they couldn't offend the former.
In Datang, a strong person above level 30, as long as he swears allegiance to Datang, he can get a certain monthly living allowance from the imperial court, if he is a level 40 strong, then he can be given an official and a half position, if he is a level 50 strong, that is to go to the military department to mix a general.
If you are a level 60 powerhouse, then you will directly become a member of the personal guard team around Long Live Lord and enjoy the supreme glory.
It is said that the captain of the personal guard team next to Long Live Lord is a top powerhouse of level 69, and it is rare to meet an opponent in this world.
Although the life span of the Lord is almost eternal, he has no spells, so there is still a danger of being assassinated and killed, so he recruits heroes in the world to protect his safety.
However, now, on the hero list, there is only one level 69 powerhouse, and that is the captain of the personal guard of the Long Live Lord, Meng Yi.
With the protection of the world's number one master, the long live Lord is naturally worry-free and recuperates for the rest of his life.
According to legend, there have been peerless powerhouses in this world who have broken through level 69, and their level can reach more than 100 levels, but now, level 100 equipment is still circulating in the world, but level 100 powerhouses are nowhere to be seen.
Many of the top powerhouses who have been stuck at level 69 all their lives and cannot break through to a higher realm are all extremely poor and cannot find the mystery of breaking through in their lives, so they can only die depressed.
The hero is gone, the artifact is covered with dust, and no one can use this hundred-level equipment that has been handed down in the world.
……
The desert is lonely, the sun sets over the long river, and this is such a scene outside the Tang Dynasty.
After arriving at the border, handing over the paperwork and getting supplies in the border barracks, after a day's rest, the 25,000-strong team marched in the direction of the bloody wind village through the dust.
Outside the Tang Dynasty, without the protection of the military camp and the imperial court, everything has to rely on itself.
Along the way, you can also meet a lot of passers-by, all of whom are merchants who came to the Eastern Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions to do business, and they looked like dust and dust along the way.
In order to find out the news of the Blood Wind Village, Wang Zhutou, who was leading the team in front, naturally had to stop them to ask about the situation, but how do you know, as soon as the three words "Blood Wind Village" were spoken, those merchants screamed strangely, with horror in their eyes, and ran away.
This kind of situation makes Wang Zhutou feel unpredictable.
When they arrived outside the Tang Dynasty, the road became a lot narrower, and the carriage was not easy to travel, so Qiao Bai and the others changed horses, and rode horses to roll up the yellow sand and gallop.
And in that distant Blood Wind Village, there were sacrificial activities going on, and the scene was quite bloody.
In that village, on the huge sacrificial platform, a man dressed in wizard's costume was dancing excitedly, and there were several white bells on the wizard's staff in his hand, which was making a crisp sound at the moment.
Around the sacrificial platform, there are dozens of wooden stakes several feet high, on the wooden stakes, there are hanging dry corpses one after another, the original yellow-brown wooden stakes have long been dyed dark red by blood, and the entire sacrificial platform is filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Whew!"
The wizard pointed to the scepter in his hand, and the bonfire in front of him suddenly burned, but the flame was a strange green, and it seemed that this wizard also knew how to spell.
As the bonfire burned, the wizard waved his hand, and immediately countless minions took down the dried corpses on those pillars and threw them into the bonfire, and as the corpses burned, there were bursts of wails from the green fire.
At the same time, one soul after another emerged from the fire, with a painful look on their faces, and a miserable wail from their mouths, and the souls struggled in the fire, trying to break out of the green fire, but could not get out.
Seeing this, the sorcerer's face showed hideous joy, and he continued to dance and perform the sacrifice.
Not far from the sacrificial platform, Wang Dao and Wang Tie sat on tiger skin chairs, looking at the sacrificial situation, turning their heads to look at each other, with a touch of scarlet in their eyes.
