Ren Yan glanced at Xuan Ye, when did this kid remember the events of the previous two lives, "How can you be a waste and travel through the past life with me?" ”

Xuan Ye's face turned red, "How can you say that I am a waste?" Aren't you like me? If it's waste, we're both waste. ”

It seems that he didn't understand the meaning of what Ren Yan said about waste, the reason why he said that Xuan Ye was a waste was that Ren Yan felt that he was a person with no background, how could he be with a god of war level with him.

"When did Alexander die? If I'm not mistaken, I think there's still more than a year left, right? Xuan Ye said as if he suddenly came to his senses, leaning forward to look into Ren Yan's eyes, surprised by his discovery.

Ren Juan was suddenly shocked: After Alexander's death, yes, she wanted to see the emperor pass away with her own eyes, for some reason, Ren Juan angrily reprimanded Xuan Ye and said, "What are you talking nonsense, don't tell me about this in the future." ”

Xuan Ye said aggrieved for no reason, "What are you angry about, don't you want to leave here?" ”

Ren Jian didn't take care of Xuanye, walked out of the cabin alone, stood on the deck and let the sea breeze blow her hair, looking at the vast sea, boundless, just like her own shape of the journey, I don't know where the edge is, and where the final foothold is.

"Lord Maidens, the sea is too windy and rough, be careful not to catch a cold." At some point, Nyakas stood beside Ren Yan and put on a fairly clean plain coat for her.

Ren Juan smiled at Neakas, "How many days can the fleet's grain and grass last?" ”

"Tonight is the last meal, and tomorrow there will be none." Nyakas said calmly, without a nervous look, he should be used to this situation.

"Oh, let's catch some fish if we don't have food." Ren Yan said.

"It's easy to talk about food, but there is no fresh water to drink on the boat, and the coast is deserted, so I'm afraid it's hard to find fresh water."

It is difficult for people to live without water for three days, so the lack of fresh water is a very serious matter, Ren Juan smiled slightly, fortunately, Alexander dug wells for the fleet along the way, "Tomorrow the general will send a few small boats to dock, there may be fresh water there." Ren Juan said softly, through the Thousand Miles of the Bird Spirit, Ren Juan had already seen the well that the land legion had dug for the fleet, and it was just ahead.

Neakas nodded in response, "Okay, I'll send someone to take a look tomorrow, but there is not much hope, this generation of coasts is a desert no man's land, and it is too difficult to find water." ”

Ren Juan didn't say anything more, returned to the cabin to rest, Xuan Ye Lai didn't leave Ren Juan's room, saying that she was scared, Ren Juan had no choice but to let the coward spread out in her room.

I don't know what kind of force is finding the wrong person, sending such a coward to her god of war, you have to take this oil bottle with you wherever you go, and you are not his person, sometimes you really want to leave him alone, Ren Jian complained in her heart, but she couldn't help but smile at the sleeping Xuan Ye.

The next day, the soldiers sent to find fresh water really found the wells that Alexander's army had made in advance, and brought back enough fresh water for the fleet to drink for more than ten days.

The soldiers knew that the wells in the no-man's land were prepared by the Emperor for the fleet, because Alexander left the mark of the empire on the side of each well, and the matter of the well made the soldiers feel the Emperor's good intentions for the fleet, and the soldiers were in high spirits, and the speed of the oars was much happier than usual.

Through the matter of taking fresh water, the naval fleet relied more on Ren Juan's divination, and it was indeed an imperial woman, and the fortune was so profound and omnipotent.

Ren Jian snickered in her heart, she is a god-level person, such a trivial matter is not a problem, since she came to this life to fight with Alexander, let's do more for Alexander, the emperor is very worried about the safety of the fleet, he doesn't want to cause fatal losses to the legion because of the choice of return route when he is famous.

With Ren Yan's guidance along the way, the fleet suffered a lot less, and the soldiers methodically did the tasks assigned by the emperor before leaving, recording coastal information along the way, how long the coastline is, what the weather is like, which places are suitable for what kind of plants to grow, whether there are minerals, fish species, etc., no matter how big or small, do a good job of surveying for the future construction of the empire.

The full moon is full and the moon is missing for another month, hunger and thirst strike again, the naval fleet has eaten fish for ten days, and Ren Jian now retchs whenever he sees fish swimming in the sea; To make matters worse, there was almost no fresh water, and the soldiers had to reduce their activities and physical exertion.

While there was no one around, Ren Yankou recited a charm and got in touch with the bird spirit again to see where Alexander had prepared food or fresh water for the fleet.

The bird spirit received the order and opened the thousand miles of light, and it was still a large desert, but at this time some tall myrrh trees appeared in the desert, and the Phoenicians who were doing business with the army had the strength to cut myrrh one by one, collect gums, and then put them on the back of a mule to carry them, and when they arrived at a place where there were people, they could exchange goods with them, and the clever minds of businessmen always found a means of making a living.

In the desert, the corpses of camels and horses were faintly visible, and the warriors who had fallen and never got up, and Alexander and the Guards cavalry led the team with difficulty; Hephaestion commanded everyone in the other team to keep moving forward and not to fall behind.

The soldiers were half-open, following the numb march of the large army, the difficulties of the march in the past few days were recorded in the history books, due to the high temperature of the desert, there was no fresh water, the army had to avoid the high temperature at night, and the high heat during the day did not dare to stop, and some of the soldiers fell asleep while walking.

Falling at the back of the line, it is difficult to wake up again; There were also some lucky soldiers who fell asleep and woke up again, walking in the desert to find the team ahead.

On this march, the coalition forces suffered heavy losses.

A few days ago, Ptolemy or one of the Seleucid teams collected a part of the grain and grass for the legion, and the grain and grass collected were all bought, and the surrounding hundreds of terraces were under the jurisdiction of Alexander's empire, and the emperor would not be rough in his own territory, and the legion was not short of coins, but grain and grass.

The convoy in the rear secretly ate the grain and grass left by the emperor for the navy, and even some soldiers secretly killed mules and horses, and one soldier reported this to the emperor, and the emperor did not speak.

In an emergency, when a person's life cannot be saved, the order is no longer effective, these Alexander understood. Turn a blind eye and walk out of the desert.

Hephaestion was constantly comforting the anxious soldiers in the rear, although he was already very weak, he was still trying his best to take care of the other soldiers, he was really a warm-hearted man, and his eyes were always so warm to look at everyone with the same eyes as Ren Yan.

A soldier trotted and handed Alexander a glass of water he had managed to get from the dry riverbed, and Alexander took the water and thanked him, then poured it on the ground.

The eyes of the bird spirit were full of panicked eyes and gaping mouths of the soldiers, and then they were all moved to tears—moved to tears that they had an incomparably superior commander in chief, and the Emperor never thought about himself in the moment of life and death.

Alexander was like this, with extraordinary endurance and "selflessness", and all the treasures of the ten-year crusade were distributed to his generals or used for empire building.

The legion was still struggling to move forward, and from time to time soldiers fell into soft sand nests, never got up, and remained permanently in the desert of a foreign land.

To make matters worse, the guide who led the way was also lost, and the legion was stuck in the desert and had no direction. Alexander hurriedly took a few guards cavalry to explore the left side of the team, the emperor was wearing loose hair, and the beard on the side of his mouth should have not been tidied up for several days, seeing that Ren Jian was distressed, he sent an order to the bird spirit, asking the bird spirit to find a way to lead Alexander to the sea, and the sand and gravel by the sea should be able to find fresh water.

Ren Yan accepted the spell and turned to find Niacas, waiting for Alexander to dig a well for the fleet was impossible, and the emperor had no time to take care of the fleet.

At the mast on the deck, Ren Juan met Niakas, who was about to come to find Ren Juan, "Lord Priestess, can you tell if there is any fresh water and grain and grass prepared by the Emperor for the fleet nearby?" ”

"The land corps is in difficulty, and I am afraid there is no way to supply the fleet with military supplies."

Ren Yan's voice was hoarse, she hadn't taken a sip for two days, her stomach was still growling, she was sure that she was here to suffer again in this life, she originally thought that she would be able to worry about food and clothing with the legion, but she didn't expect that the glorious Greek coalition army on the surface was full of unimaginable hardships behind it.

"Looks like we're going to have to risk going ashore." Nyakas said.

There is only one way to do this, you can't find fresh water at sea, and there may be a glimmer of hope on land, Ren Yan nodded to Neakas, expressing her approval of his approach.

Avoiding the scorching midday sun, Neakas and his entire fleet landed on a beach, a hilly area on the edge of the desert with some gravel on the ground, and Neakas ordered his men to find fresh water in the gravel.

Ren Yan followed by Niacas, Xuanye did not get off the boat, extremely thirsty, Xuanye, who had not suffered before, was already lying on the bed and couldn't get up.

Unexpectedly, some water was actually taken out of the gravel, although it was not much, but for the time being everyone would not be thirsty, and a soldier on the shore found the kind of thorny tall trees that Alexander's regiment had encountered earlier.

Soldiers who have been marching for a long time know that as long as this tree cuts off its spikes and cuts its bark, a large amount of sap will flow out, more than the sap of figs, and although it tastes strong, it can solve the fleet's drinking water problem.

Ren Juan hurriedly took out the container to collect some solution, and ran towards the warship, this juice was for Xuan Ye, and this kid was afraid that he would die of thirst if he was late, Ren Juan urged himself who was running.

Entering the cabin, Ren Jian sat on the side of Xuan Ye's bed and helped Xuan Ye with his eyes closed, "There is water to drink, Xuan Ye." This move has the feeling of an old mother taking care of her crippled son, which scared Ren Yan herself, when did maternal love erupt.

"There's water?!" Xuan Ye opened his eyes, sat up straight suddenly, and raised his head to drink.

In the case of extreme thirst, it is very dangerous to drink water in large gulps, Ren Juan quickly grabbed the water bladder, "You drink slowly, it is dangerous to drink fast." Ren Yan slowly brought the water to Xuan Ye's mouth again, "Is it delicious?" ”

Xuan Ye quickly replied, "It's delicious." ”

Then he drank slowly according to Ren Yan's instructions.

Ren Jian was secretly happy in her heart, such an unpalatable water Xuanye can say that it is delicious, but she is thirsty and stupid.
