Chapter 240: Strange Beasts

Along the river in summer, it takes no more than five days from Bashu to Jiangling.

Building a plank road while walking, a road of 700 miles, Ziying doesn't know how long it will take, and he doesn't dare to delay time.

From Jinniu Road Crossing to Wenxian, a total of more than 200 miles.

Ziying traveled day and night, and when he arrived in the south of Wenxian on the second day, he was already exhausted.

The army of 10,000 was lying on the ground, and Ziying patted the fifth horse, which had died of exhaustion, and got up to look around at the soldiers.

More than 300 hundred Yue soldiers were alert and half-kneeled on the ground, and when they saw that it was Ziying coming, they all knelt down on one knee and bowed, and the other Qin soldiers also clenched their fists and got up.

"The ministers see the king."

"Excuse me." Ziying waved weakly, "All the soldiers will eat first, and we will open the way south today!" ”

"No!"

The soldiers took out the bags beside them, squeezed them into cake-shaped steamed buns, feasted on them, and drank the water in the bags from time to time.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers were all skilled craftsmen who gathered in Xianyang City for spiritual incineration, and rushed to build them day and night.

"I have to remember a great work from Master." The child's heart said.

Suddenly, Ziying realized that there was one person missing.

"Where is General Lu?" Ziying shouted.

Ziying waited for a long time, but did not see Lu Matong coming.

"This kid doesn't really think that the widow is too harsh on the cavalry and runs away, right?" Ziying scolded, although he was sure that Lu Matong would not be like this.

A Qin general swallowed a delicacy that he had never eaten before, and rushed over and knelt in front of Ziying.

"Back to the king, last night, the military tents of the generals were stolen by monsters, and Commander Lu has already led people to chase them."

"Monsters?!" Ziying smiled bitterly, "The widow has heard that when the Golden Bull Road was excavated, there were long worms making trouble, and they also crushed a few strong men of the Shu Kingdom, could it be that it is the same today?" ”

"Back to the king, it is not a long snake, it is a flexible four-legged beast, this beast is also extremely powerful, and the soldiers were almost injured by it." Qin Bing replied.

"What does that beast look like?!" Ziying asked anxiously, faintly worried.

Qin Bing frowned and shook his head, "It was dark last night, and the ministers didn't see it. ”

Ziying looked around at the crowd, all worried, the monsters they had never seen before, and the superstitious ancients were speculating about what this thing meant.

The other soldiers on the side trembled and knelt down and spoke, "The minister faintly saw that monster... It has sharp claws and fangs, but it does not see the color of its fur, and its bark is like that of a dog, which is extremely infiltrating. ”

"What the hell is it?" Ziying secretly thought about it, and wanted to open the way as soon as possible, but now it seems that she has to solve the matter of the alien beast first.

"Come on, these beasts are here again!"

Lu Matong's roaring cry came from the south, and from the sound, Ziying could hear that Lu Matong had been frightened.

All the soldiers drew the arrows on their backs, put them on the strings, and rushed towards the south side.

Ziying swallowed a mouthful of saliva and ran over.

"Come on! Help me! ”

Lu Ma Tong's armor was torn, a piece of iron on his chest was torn off, and his face was covered with dust. The pace of running was out of control for a while, and he fell to the ground, and a dog gnawed on the mud.

The leafless forest shook rapidly, and the monster seemed to rush out, and tens of thousands of arrows were pointed at it.

"Wang!"

"Shoot them, shoot them!" Lu Matong shouted.

Ziying stared intently at the woods, and three or five strange beasts roared out.

Is it?!

Ziying was frightened, and suddenly laughed.

The limbs are short and stout, and they have sharp claws and fangs... The beast's round head also had two black ears.

There are dark circles on top of the white face...

You can't shoot it!

"Stop! Don't let your arrows go, and throw the dry food you bring to them! Ziying yelled.

All the Qin soldiers stopped in unison, put back the arrows, and reached out to take out the bags on their waists.

"The king wants to kill his ministers?!"

Lu Ma Tong's hair was scattered, his legs were weak and he could no longer escape, and the claws of the black and white beast were placed on his chest, and he was about to be disemboweled!

"Here it goes! Monster! ”

Lu Matong was in a hurry, reached into his arms, took out half a roast chicken, and threw it into the air.

The movements of the five or six strange beasts suddenly stopped, and they turned their heads and ran towards the roast chicken. The sharp teeth instantly tore the roast chicken to pieces, and he was in the stomach in three or five strokes. As if it hadn't been carried out yet, he turned his head and continued to look at Qin Bing.

"Don't throw too much, ten people are enough!" Ziying hurriedly reminded.

For more than 700 miles, dry food and water are the most scarce, and the compressed steamed buns can just be carried around. If they are all given to the beasts, this way will not be opened.

But Ziying shouted too slowly, and the soldiers in front of him had already thrown out all their bags.

syllable

Hundreds of Qin soldiers just threw out, without looking at the direction, and smashed their bags firmly on the head of the alien beast.

"Ahh This..."

Qin Bing's legs suddenly weakened, if it weren't for Ziying's help, he might really turn around and flee.

The beast was just stunned, not caring at all about being smashed on the head, its claws cut open its bag, and took the steamed bun and stuffed it into its mouth.

Five or six strange beasts sat in a circle, swallowing at first, and gradually chewing slowly. I don't care about being watched by tens of thousands of people.

"Do they still use their hands?" Lu Matong was stunned for a moment and muttered.

"Your Majesty, it's an opportunity to capture them alive while they're not prepared! Catch them, and you can show my great Qin Guowei! The Qin generals in front admonished.

"No hurry, no hurry, wait for them to finish eating. provokes them, even if there are 10,000 people, they are not opponents. Ziying frightened.

Five or six strange beasts filled their stomachs, and their buttocks turned towards everyone, twisting left and right and gradually moving away.

"If the king doesn't give an order, it's too late!" Qin Bing said hurriedly.

Ziying suddenly realized that the national treasure looked stupid, but his body was extremely flexible, and he walked on the mountain as if he were walking on the ground. They come from the south again, and looking at the way they come from, maybe the best way to walk!

"Twenty pawns in front of them follow them, watch their movements, and don't act rashly without the orders of the widows!" Ziying shouted.

"No!"

Although everyone wanted to seize the giant beast and ask for merit from Ziying, first, they did not dare to disobey Ziying's orders, and secondly, they were afraid of the power of the giant beast. This kind of errand can only be done by the best strokes.

The giant beast gradually moved away, and all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

The exhausted Lu Matong was completely paralyzed on the ground, panting for breath.

"Huha, Huha was almost swallowed by them..."

Ziying walked to Lu Matong's side, snatched the steamed buns in Lu Matong's bag and gnawed on them.

"Your Majesty... Didn't you bring dry food with you, too? Why Nachen's? Lu Matong asked weakly.

"Humph!." Ziying looked at the dead pig-like Lu Matong and sneered, "The widow still wants to ask Commander Lu, why did he go to steal the chickens from the people of Wen County when he brought dry food?" This seems to be a violation of military law, right? ”

"The minister didn't steal... This is a hunt from the woods! Lu Matong said hurriedly, "Who knew it had just been baked... This group of monsters made a big fuss about the military tent, and the ministers only ate half of it, and the remaining half was cheap! ”

Ziying couldn't help but laugh, the giant panda meat and vegetarian are not taboo, and the current season is a shortage of food. Lu Matong hunted prey on their territory, and it was roasted very fragrantly, and it was no wonder that they were embarrassed to be chased.

"Hunting is also a violation of military discipline during the march. Commander Lu don't think about exculpation. Ziying said with a smile, "After this battle, I am afraid that the military merits of Commander Lu will be reduced to the next level." ”

"Minister... The minister surveyed the terrain, practiced archery on the way back, and hunted easily! The minister is wronged! Lu Matong explained anxiously, wanting to get up, but he didn't have half the strength.

"The excuses are pretty good... Then let's wait until after the war, and wait for the widow to find out clearly. ”

Before the war, when the military discipline. But the war of this group was extraordinary, and his journey was unusually difficult, and it was indeed inappropriate to set out now.

Ziying also knew that Lu Matong wanted to rise to a high position, and he could prove it to Lu Chen in the future, and he couldn't bear to see Lu Matong frustrated.

"The widow will give you a moment to rest and recuperate, and then go south with the army!"

"No..."Lu Matong's voice was weak and weak, and he laboriously took out a chicken leg from his arms, put it on the corner of his mouth and gnawed it, "When the minister finishes eating, he can act..."

Ziying unconsciously stretched out his thumb, "Awesome..."

The Qin generals were shocked, stepped forward to take the dry food that had not yet been eaten, and carefully retreated into a phalanx.

"The king knows... What kind of monster is that? Lu Matong chewed the chicken leg and asked, "The king almost killed his ministers just now, so he should know a lot about monsters." ”

The Qin generals in front of them listened with their ears skewed.

"The few know it." Ziying deliberately shouted, "Has Commander Lu heard of the Yellow Emperor vs. Chiyou?" ”

"Emperor? What happened to the First Emperor? Or Hu Hai..."Lu Matong poked his head, "The minister has read the history books, and he has never heard of any oil. ”

"You..."

Lu Matong wiped the corners of his mouth, "The king shouldn't be talking about ministers, right?" The king wants to fight his ministers, so what kind of war does he say about eating oil? ”

Ziying secretly clenched her fists, and really wanted to give Lu Matong a punch.

"The king is talking about the two emperors of Yan and Huang, right?" A Baiyue soldier spoke.

The three Miao and the Yue people both lived in the southeast generation, and were collectively called "Manyue" by the people of the Shang Dynasty, but they were not of the same race.

It is precisely because of the proximity that the Yue people know the legend of the Sanmiao people.

"That's right, it's the Yellow Emperor of the river generation back then!" Ziying saw that someone understood, and hurriedly continued, "The battle between the Second Emperor of Yan and Huang and the Chiyou of the Jiangshui generation, the monster just now is Chiyou's mount. ”

"In this way, Chiyou was also powerful enough back then, and even such monsters could be subdued." Lu Matong sighed.

"The history books of the Wei State have all been read to the belly of a dog." Ziying said slightly angrily, "The first sentence of the Bamboo Book is to introduce the Yellow Emperor's battle against Chiyou, Lu Aiqing can't even remember this?" ”

"I just don't know how to pronounce those two words." Lu Matong got up, scratched his head and smiled.

"What Dr. Chen taught himself, can Commander Lu forget?!"

"Your Majesty, what does it mean that this thing has appeared?" Qin Bing interrupted Ziying's anger, and he urgently needed a result today.

Ziying thought slightly, and couldn't simply tell them that the national treasure was just hungry and looking for something to eat.

It would be too common to tell you so. Those who are apprehensive in their hearts will think that he is deliberately deceiving something, and it must be exaggerated.

"Hahaha, don't you know yet? This is a good omen from heaven, sheltering Great Qin! Ziying laughed and said, "Daqin is on the bank of the river, just like the Yellow Emperor back then." Bashu is facing the river, which is the Chiyou of the year. Now, Chi You's mount did not hurt the soldiers of Daqin, and he also received the benefits of Daqin, and left peacefully without incident. Daqin, like the Yellow Emperor back then, killed Chi You and unified the world! ”

"This thing really doesn't hurt people, and it's really rare for a strange beast that doesn't hurt people."

"The king is well-informed, as he should be."

Everyone present was silent, all secretly thinking about the meaning of Ziying's words.

"Your Majesty! We will follow the beast and find a steep but climbable path! The two strokes who returned to the south said happily.

"Men and gentlemen, have you seen it? Chiyou mount has already surrendered to my Great Qin! Hurry south! The child was overjoyed and exclaimed.

"God bless Great Qin! This battle will be won! ”

"Kill into Bashu and dominate the world!"

Ziying threw her bag back to Lu Matong and followed the stroke south.
