Chapter 828: The End of the World
When Xin Qiji found Li Heng again, Li Heng was still like a headless fly, scattering all his subordinates, like a lonely ghost, wandering around the entire northern land, looking for suspicious people.
This time the matter is different from the past, if Ye Qing was not in Liao, he would not be so nervous and fanfare, but this matter may be related to Ye Qing's safety in Liao, so he has hardly closed his eyes in these days.
In Li Heng's mansion, seeing Li Heng, whose eyes were bloodshot and his voice was a little hoarse, Xin Qiji could only sigh silently.
He knew that Li Heng was now not only in charge of the rest of the Fourth Route Army on the Huainan East Road, but also had a scout force called the Field Battalion in his hand, although the core of this army was not large, but the number of people on the periphery was as high as tens of thousands.
And some people are completely separated from the original Imperial City Division, so this field battalion in Li Heng's hand, although Xin Qiji doesn't know what its combat power is, he is sure that this field battalion may also have similar responsibilities as the Imperial City Division.
Therefore, in Xin Qiji's view, after telling Li Heng what Fan Bangyan said, it may be easier for him to judge the truth than to judge the truth by himself.
Li Heng frowned, after listening to Xin Qiji's words, he couldn't judge the truth of this matter, and he didn't know if it was a fake plan set up by the Jin people and Zhao Ruyu above the Song court, just waiting for them to be fooled.
"Lord Xin might as well go back to the house to accompany Lord Taishan first, as for what news I have here, I will tell you as soon as possible, how about it?" Li Heng watched Zhao Caiqing pass by in the distance, and then said after thinking for a while.
"That's all there is to it." Xin Qiji nodded, the two of them are now cooperating more and more tacitly in Jinan Mansion, so there is no need to say too many words.
With Li Heng, who personally sent Xin Qiji to the gate of the mansion, and then turned back, he looked at Zhao Caiqing, who was walking because he was pregnant, and after asking where Liu Lan'er was, he walked to the study.
Li Heng was able to become the fourth time of the umbrella, and he held such a unit as the field battalion in his hand, which can be said to be because of Liu Lan'er's contributions.
And Liu Lan'er didn't make her brain stupid because she had a child, she was still good at summarizing, and was good at finding the most important information for them from the messy information.
Therefore, Li Heng needs to listen to Liu Lan'er's opinion in this kind of matter, and he is still very proud, he can rely on his mother-in-law to eat soft rice, and then become one of the four dignified umbrellas.
Liu Lan'er in the study sat at the desk frowning, while Li Heng stood beside him like a subordinate, looking at his contemplative daughter-in-law silently, almost holding a cup of tea in his hand, or holding a snack and waiting carefully.
Writing and painting indiscriminately on the desk, Li Heng on the side hurriedly stepped forward to study ink, and Zhao Caiqing, who came back from walking, looked at the two of them with a smile, and then sat down next to him with a big belly, and looked at this picture quietly.
Liu Lan'er, who was behind the desk, didn't stop the pen in her hand until she put a large piece of white rice paper on it, and the painting on it looked like a ghost drawing, a layer of fine sweat oozed from her forehead, her cheeks looked a little pale at the moment, and even her lips looked a little trembling.
"How...... What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? The first reaction in Li Heng's mind was whether Lan'er had it again.
Liu Lan'er shook her head silently, and then stared at the paper of the ghost drawing talisman in front of her again, which no one could understand, and said, "Brother Ye, I'm afraid there is trouble." ”
"Trouble?" Li Heng frowned, paused and asked, "Is it serious?" ”
Liu Lan'er was silent, and after a while, she picked up the brush with trembling hands and re-laid a piece of rice paper, but this time the movements were much slower, but her hands were a little trembling.
Compared to Liu Lan'er's situation where her hands were just shaking, Ye Qing, Temujin, and Qishilie were trembling in their hearts at this moment, especially Ye Qing, who never thought that one day after walking out of the Tianshan Mountains, he would still be able to see the sea, are you kidding me?
Ye Qing looked not far away, there was no end in sight, and the sea surface that spread out within the entire line of sight was muttered speechless in shock, and he once again felt that he had crossed again!
"What's the situation, didn't you say that you know the world best? Didn't you say that the Tien Shan Mountains are the farthest mountains from the ocean? Temujin was also shocked by the sea in front of him, he was a native bun from the grassland, at most he had seen a lake, and where he had seen the sea, he had only heard of it.
"I ...... I don't know, we're going in the wrong direction? Ye Qing muttered and replied, not looking at the watch on his wrist, everything was not wrong.
From Hara City to the present, Ye Qing would tell Temujin and the gods and slaves of Qishilie about the charm of this wonderful world from time to time, so Tianshan Mountain is the farthest mountain system from the ocean, and he also proudly told Temujin and others.
However, he didn't expect that the wonderful world in his mouth would slap him in the face after a few days.
Looking at the endless sea horizon, Ye Qing involuntarily beckoned, and Yelu Wang Xiang immediately rode his horse and appeared beside him: "King, you command." ”
"This ...... Where is this? Ye Qing looked at the distant sea level that was blocking their progress, like the end of the world, and asked, Ye Qing has not been too lazy to care about the matter of Yelu Wang Xiang calling him the king.
"Back to the king, this is the frontier of my Daliao and Khorezm people, and from here a few hundred miles to the south, you will arrive at the ancient city of Ke. As for the sea in front of him, the last general doesn't know the exact name, only that our Liao people have always called it the Khorezm Sea. Yelu Wang Xiang explained beside him.
"Khorezm Sea...... Khorezm ....... Ye Qingshen muttered as if he was muttering.
Temujin glanced at Ye Qing speechlessly, and a high degree of suspicion instantly rose in his heart about this so-called world master.
"Continue south." Temujin turned around and ordered, Zhong Silkworm and Borshu immediately received the order, including Mu Huali and Mo Xiaobao behind Ye Qing, and after seeing Ye Qing nodding, they also immediately ran in the direction behind him, preparing to gather troops and continue to advance.
Khorezm Sea, at its peak, its north and south length is thousands of miles away, and the east and west width is also up to 600 miles away, after walking out of the Tianshan Mountains, looking at the sea in front of you, it will indeed give people a false impression of going to the end of the world.
But the world is so wonderful, whether it is from the south or from the north, as long as you bypass the Khorezm Sea in front of you, there is a plain of Pingchuan, which is completely different from the terrain of the Tianshan Mountains, and it is more suitable for troops like cavalry to fight.
Ye Qing naturally wouldn't know that in his previous life, the Khorezm Sea had shrunk to the point where he didn't even know his mother, let alone Ye Qing, a foreign monk, how could he know that what was in front of them was the famous Aral Sea.
Heading south along the coastline, from time to time you can see small fishing boats on the sea, floating on the sea like a black dot or leaves, and boasting that he is a world-to-world master, Lord Ye has been wondering if he has come to the wrong world.
Along the long coastline, when the troops were camping, after suffering a loss, everyone once again began to realize how precious the water source they brought was, obviously, except for Ye Qing, everyone thought that the seawater next to them could be drunk, and then one by one as if they were poisoned, they began to look for water bags with their throats.
Three days later, they finally saw the ancient city of Kegu, because of the scout's investigation, so when they were about to approach the ancient city of Kegu, the gate of the city, which was not the city gate, raised a thick layer of smoke and dust, followed by the deafening sound of horses' hooves that made the earth tremble, resounding from afar.
As the commander-in-chief, Temujin faced the menacing cavalry of Kegucheng, but he showed a relaxed expression on his face: "It's finally ......." ”
"Aren't you afraid that they will attack us suddenly?" The gods and slaves of Qishilie still didn't believe it, Temujin wrinkled his nose, and he could smell that the cavalry in the distance who were gradually rushing towards them were not here to fight them.
What's more, the five thousand people led by him did not remain motionless at this time because Temujin and Ye Qing's troops were indifferent, but under the loud orders of the begging stone martyrs, they had already put on a posture of preparing to attack.
Ye Qing casually turned his head and looked at his own troops that were motionless left and right behind him, as well as the army that had been led by the gods and slaves of Qishilie in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but feel a full sense of relief.
In just about 20 days, it has been able to make the miscellaneous army that he originally thought no longer disobey the boss, which makes Ye Qing more and more confident about what the more than 15,000 people behind him will do on the battlefield.
"Which one is Lord Ye Qingye?" The stiff Song words sounded, and in the distance, among the Liao cavalry who had been flooded with smoke and dust raised by the cavalry, slowly ran out of a horse, stopped about fifty paces in front of them and asked.
Ye Qing hurriedly looked at Temujin, and after seeing Temujin nodding, he patted the horse's belly with his legs, slowly walked out of the cavalry in front of him, and took a few steps closer to the Liao general, and then threw a piece of Beifu's waist card over.
Behind the Liao generals was still billowing smoke and dust, and the smoke and dust that had just been raised by their own cavalry were still engulfing all their hundreds of horsemen at the moment, but even so, the smoke and dust were still rolling forward, rushing towards the Liao generals, as well as Ye Qing and others.
However, in the much lighter smoke and dust, the waist card drew an arc in the air, and then it was caught in the hands of the Liao general, and after careful inspection, the Liao general turned over and dismounted, walked to Ye Qingma, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The deputy commander of the last general's unbridled army has seen Lord Ye in the field." ”
"Wild war? Are you a Xia person? Ye Qing asked with a slight surprise.
The wild battle that got up, as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile: "Yes, the ancestors of the last general are Xia people, but the last general is a real pure Liao person." ”
