"Is it so powerful?" It's not that Lan Wan doesn't believe it, but it's the first time she's heard of sandstorms.

"There is a lot of sand and dust in spring, so we simply didn't go to the middle area and find a sheltered place, it shouldn't be a big problem!" The man said again, lest the young master be worried. "Okay, you go and inform, I'll communicate with the people in the court." Lan Wan nodded.

Lan Wan asked Granny Zhou to drive the carriage next to her, waiting for Xi Jiangyue to come up.

"Phew, but what happened, why don't you leave!" Xi Jiangyue grabbed the reins in front of the carriage and asked.

"My lord, one of my team has been roaming this area all year round, and he is very familiar with the climate of this place, this place may be approaching sandstorms, and it is best for us to find a sheltered place to set up camp." Lan Wan said.

Xi Jiangyue is from her own side, so she naturally doesn't have to worry.

"What the official said is very true." Xi Jiangyue raised his head, in fact, he also felt the strangeness of the weather from the beginning just now, and the wind blowing in was carrying fine sand, which was blowing on his face and hurting.

"All the officers and soldiers are obedient: stop moving, choose the best shelter from the wind, and set up camp!" Xi Jiangyue ordered to go down.

"Wait!" Suddenly, a voice interjected.

Everyone followed the sound and found that it was General Xue, who had not shown up for a long time!

"General Xue!"

The crowd automatically made way for General Xue, although the last incident said that he had lost face, but if anyone did not come forward to provoke him at this time, it would definitely let him vent his anger together.

General Xue has almost recovered after many days of recuperation, and recently he is trying to find a reason to trouble Guan Wan, and he has gotten better than the bad breath he had last time in Hualou.

I didn't expect him to grab the handle so quickly.

"General Xue, the weather is different, what is the point of stopping the troops?" Xi Jiangyue turned to look at him.

Knowing that he must be looking for Lan Wan's troubles.

What's the difference? There are so many talented people in my army, why should I listen to him, a small trader? Could it be that the overseer has a personal relationship with this house? General Xue asked.

"Fart! This time, the safety of food and grass is more important than the lives of soldiers, and any wind and grass must be closely watched. Can't you see the clouds rolling in the sky with your eyes, and can't you feel the wind like a sharp blade on your face? Xi Jiangyue pointed to the sky and asked angrily.

"General Ben only saw that the overseer has taken care of this person a lot recently, is it because of your relatives?" General Xue snorted coldly, not buying Xi Jiangyue's face at all.

In his eyes, the saintess has a pivotal position in the Hexia Dynasty, but this status is just a false reputation, and he has never seen her make any contribution to the Hexia Dynasty, so how can she dictate to these veteran generals who have worked hard.

Marching and fighting depends on experience, relying on courage and courage, just these fledgling boys, with some evil things in their hands, want to press on their heads, he has long been unaccustomed to it, can take this opportunity to suppress them, he is asking for it.

"General Xue should be cautious when he speaks. Could it be that the son of the Zhou family has been in close contact with you recently, and he is also a relative of your family? Oh, I heard that you guys were still drinking flower wine together, and you were carried back, General Xue wouldn't have forgotten it so quickly. Xi Jiangyue didn't care about the counterattack.

They Phantom Moon Sect people have always been regarded as guests of honor by various sects and major forces, when will it be his turn to be a small general to slander them!

Not to mention that he insulted the existence of their Phantom Moon Gate higher than the door master, it was simply asking for his own death.

"Say it again to Lao Tzu!" Hearing this, General Xue immediately became angry, clenched his fists, and wanted to punch Xi Jiangyue fiercely, but he was pulled by the quick-eyed soldiers next to him, so he didn't punch down.

Xi Jiangyue is not afraid, but he is just a reckless martial artist, and he has a way to clean him up.

"General Xue, you and I know what happened that day, why do you need the official to say it, it will hurt your face." Lan Wan gave Xi Jiangyue a look, and spoke before him, her posture was downright and generous, and she was like a gentleman, which made the soldiers around her feel good.

This is just a private matter between him and General Xue, there is no need to involve Xi Jiangyue!

In this way, it will be difficult to see each other in the future, let alone deal with things.

"General Ben originally wanted to ......" There were a lot of onlookers, General Xue knew that he couldn't tell the cause and effect of the day, if everyone knew his dirty thoughts, how would he mix in the barracks in the future?

"What do you want? The official feels that there is some misunderstanding between him and General Xue, why don't General Xue say it today and let everyone comment on it, if it is the fault of the next, he is willing to kowtow on the spot to apologize, what do you think? Lan Wan was determined, he didn't dare to tell the facts of the day.

Although Lan Wan was smiling, he had already made plans for this day.

"Oh, General Xue, why did you come here? Why don't you go back and lie down? Zhou Qian came out, looking at the confrontation between the two sides, he quickly and secretly pulled down General Xue's head and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Misunderstanding...... Indeed...... There are some misunderstandings...... General Ben invited you for a drink, how can you leave the table without reason? After hearing this, General Xue's face changed several times, with a hateful face, and he reluctantly followed her words.

"It turns out that General Xue is talking about this thing, and it is true that the official has not done it properly. The next time the official is the east, we will definitely come to a non-drunk and no-return, what do you think? Lan Wan smiled even more meaningfully.

General Xue didn't want to look at his face, so he replied with a cold face: "I'm afraid that General Ben doesn't have this blessing." ”

After saying that, he turned around angrily and strode away.

This scene of finding fault ended happily like this.

Without General Xue looking for trouble, the soldiers soon found a shelter from the wind, which was surrounded by mountains on three sides and shaped like a gourd mouth, which was an excellent place to hide from sandstorms.

found a place, and Xi Jiangyue immediately led the troops to drive in.

By the time all the troops entered, the sandstorm outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

Xi Jiangyue immediately ordered the soldiers to seal the tent at the tuyere, and in an instant, this temporary resting place became a safe place!

The sandstorm in the northwest came much faster and more violently than they imagined, although it was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side had been covered by tents, but the whining wind above their heads was enough for them to imagine how terrifying the scene outside was!

In such weather, let alone marching, even if people walk outside, they will be scratched by the sand carried by the wind!

"Mr. Guan, you are really a capable man!"

Everyone sat together, the wind and sand outside were too big, and they couldn't boil soup and cook rice, nor could they make a fire to barbecue meat, everyone could only gnaw on dry food, sit together, and talk about the customs of the northwest by the way.

"It's over, they often go back and forth between the northwest and the Xia Dynasty, this is their ability to eat, and naturally practice makes perfect." Lan Wan said modestly.

Then I called a few of Su Su's subordinates to come over and let them tell them about the interesting things that happened on the northwest road, so as to liven up the atmosphere and divert everyone's attention!

The scene suddenly became lively, Zhou Qian and General Xue sat together, the surroundings were empty, and no soldiers were willing to sit with the two of them.

"Zhou Gongzi, you came up with the idea, why is it also you who temporarily rebelled against the water?" General Xue slurped unwillingly!

"General Xue, it's not me who is temporarily backwater. I was forced to be helpless! The knives are all on the neck! Zhou Qian gestured with his fingers at the distance.

"Why are you so cowardly? I'm surrounded by people, and you don't know to call me for help? "If it weren't for the sake of the silver, General Xue would have wanted to beat him.

"It's all on the rack, and you can't save me if you come. Besides, Guan Wan can even pit the prince. Do you think our face can be bigger than the prince! Zhou Qian spread out his hands!

"......" General Xue moved his mouth and was speechless for a while.

The sandstorms in the northwest came and went as fast as they could, and by the time they opened their tents and came out, it was already dark outside, and a cold moon hung in the sky over the deserted wilderness, illuminating the way forward.

The night was already dark, and it was no longer suitable to hurry.

The soldiers took out their tents, set up themselves in this sheltered harbor, lit a bonfire, and made a fire to cook meat and broth......

The next day, it was the warmth of the heavenly sun that woke everyone in the tent to get up.

After this incident, the people of the grain and grass escort brigade trusted Lan Wan's team of road-opening merchants even more, and along the way, they actually arrived at the last safe town on the front line two days earlier than planned.

After passing through this town, they entered the battle zone with the Xia Dynasty and the barbarians in the northwest.

With every step they took, they might encounter an enemy ambush, and the danger of the grain and grass escort was only manifested at this moment.

As early as a few days ago, Xi Jiangyue had already ordered someone to send documents to the northwest camp where Guan Ming was stationed, asking them to bring soldiers to greet him!

It's just that the correspondence on the battlefield has been going on for a long time, and I don't know if it has been delivered to the people in the northwest camp.

The grain and grass escort brigade stayed in this town for half a day to replenish all the necessary supplies, and then it was ready to go.

The banner that marked the symbol of the Hexia Dynasty was held high, and it rustled in the air against the brutal wind in the northwest.

Lan Wan had already parted ways with the grain and grass escort brigade when she entered this town.

Then the same mother-in-law pretended to be two father and son who drove sheep, and dressed up to go out of the town, she naturally wanted to go to the northwest camp, but he couldn't leave empty-handed like this, and he couldn't go away without knowing it.

The princess of the Tatar steppe, she also wanted to see what kind of beauty she was, and she was worthy of the possessions of the previous tribe.

Lan Wan and Granny Zhou drove a group of sheep bought with the help of their subordinates, and rode horses slowly on the Northwest Avenue.

This Northwest Avenue did not start a war between the two sides, and in the past, the left and right sides of this avenue were flanked by people from Hexia and the Northwest Barbarians, who exchanged goods on the Northwest Avenue in exchange for the goods they needed.

However, later a natural disaster, most of the cattle and sheep in the northwest died, and they could not survive, so they burned, killed and looted.

At first, this was still a last resort, but later, they found that this way of stealing and plundering was much more cost-effective than their own hard work of raising cattle and sheep, so they became more and more crazy and inhumane, and the former prosperous road was burned to the ground and became a battlefield of killing.

Every winter, the barbarians in the northwest will rob the surrounding villages, villages and towns, making the people miserable and complaining.

Later, this led to the Northwest Battalion!

Lan Wan and Granny Zhou drove the fat sheep and walked slowly on the Northwest Avenue, which is very long, and it is said that they can walk for a day without seeing the end!

As they walked, they observed the movements around here, as long as someone dared to rob this group of sheep, Granny Zhou would immediately release the signal of the appointment with Xi Jiangyue, and they would know that there was an ambush ahead, so naturally they would not come up!

After noon, the sun shone warmly on their bodies, Lan Wan and Granny Zhou were drowsy on their horses, and they walked on the Northwest Avenue for a long time, and they didn't find anything abnormal on the road.

It seems that they have done a good job of guarding grain and grass secretly, and it has not been leaked.
