Chapter 19: The Ghost Valley Descends

The carriage drove along the official road, kicking up puffs of dust. The blazing sun leaves nowhere to hide, and this summer has seen little rain. The entire Great Zhao was shrouded in the haze of drought, and Yun Yue saw the villagers kneeling down and begging for rain more than once.

The crops in the fields are wilting and drooping, and in a few days they will be completely dried out. The fields were full of people pulling water, men carrying it on their shoulders and ladies carrying it by hand. Even the children scooped with scoops, and when they entered the ground, they disappeared. Almost instantly, it was absorbed by the parched earth, and the ground in front was just watered and the ground behind it dried as if it had not been watered. The cracked mouth of the land is like a big mouth, and it is difficult to satisfy the water of the entire Yellow River poured into it. God, this is a desperate way to live!

The poor harvest of the farmers may be an important reason why King Huiwen is eager to marry Qimei. In these years, the productivity is frighteningly low, and if there is 300 catties of grain per mu of hard work, it will be considered a bumper harvest. King Huiwen was to fast and bathe, burn incense himself, and send a token of gratitude to God for his gifts. This is also said to be a first-class good land, if it is a land like Lizhuang. The yield per mu is only about 100 catties, and it is really only 100 catties. The huge cow said that the year before Yun Yue came, his family received more than 90 catties.

The whole family relied on these grains and did not live enough at all, and the Wu family received some half-starved and half-starved mixed wild vegetables for a year. If it weren't for the fact that Da Zhao strictly forbade the population to move at will, the farmers of Lizhuang would have fled long ago.

Qimei may be the most noble sacrifice in this drought, and it is unreliable to expect God. However, mortals still have hope, such as Qi people. The ravaging drought seemed to favor only the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Han. For the Qi people, the Chu people, and even the Qin people, they are all open.

There is no shortage of food in these places, but food cannot be given in vain. Marrying a princess is the best choice, and everyone is close to each other. In the future, there is a shortcoming, but there is also a foil. So Qimei became the crown princess of Qi State, so there was this big rampage under the hot sun.

There was a group of people in the ranks, they were not wearing armor, but each of them had a hat on top of their heads. Willow branches, bamboo strips, these readily available tools, carefully weaved outside, and then coarsely sewn with linen cloth a few times to become a hat.

The poisonous sun made people dizzy, and Yun Yue casually knitted a hat. As a result, he was very popular with a group of veterans, and he learned to make it up by himself after learning a few hands from Yun Yue. I didn't expect these hands with knives to be really fine, and after some groping, they actually looked better than Yunyue's weaving.

"Old Uncle Jiang. You see how round I am. It's not like the captain...... Belch! Zheng Bin, who was dancing, had just shown off his achievements, but he was kicked on the ass by Yun Yue with joy and sorrow. The splitter snatched the beautiful hat away, and then buckled the top of the three-flat and four-round thing he had woven on his head.

The Praetorian Guard is worthy of being the elite of Da Zhao. Such a difficult march did not discourage them from strict military discipline. Not a single person took off his helmet, and not a single person skewed his armor. Even if it was heat stroke, it was just thrown into the carriage with a pergola in the back. As long as you wake up and can walk, you still have to ride a war horse to return to the queue.

Sunset. One by one, the men took off their ordinary armor from the water. Covered in red. It's like a boiled crab. The pond near the camp was full of heads, splashing and splashing. Perhaps this is the most comfortable time for these forbidden soldiers.

Yun Yue instructed the cook to make a large amount of mung bean porridge and let these guys drink it openly. There is no sugar, only a pinch of salt. As a result, these guys actually took out dried salted rotips, a mouthful of mung bean porridge and a mouthful of dried salty rotips, chewing "Ga Zhizhi" and "Zichuan" and drinking happily.

"Brother Yun, can this thing really relieve the heat?" I took a sip of mung bean porridge and felt that the taste was not as good as wheat rice porridge. It's still very thin. No matter how full this thing is, it will be nourishing if you pee.

OK. In these years, there is no shortage of game. The soldiers gave full play to their do-it-yourself spirit of abundant food and clothing, and drove the chickens and rabbits in the woods around the camp. A few lucky guys actually hit a deer and carried it back with a branch.

Yun Yue has always believed that the human army is the most efficient killing machine in the world. In the face of sharp swords, there are also strong bows and crossbows. All wild boars, wild bears, wild tigers, and savages had to retreat, and it took only one hour from camping to dark. The men cleared the surrounding woodland, and all the beasts fled when they saw them.

Bonfires were lit everywhere in the camp, and the aroma of barbecue filled the forest. Yun Yue even saw two guys roasting monkeys, when that guy tore a monkey leg to honor the captain. Yun Yue fled.

Eating wild animals in this way is problematic, and a series of strange diseases in later generations, from AIDS to Ebola, are related to eating wild animals. Primates, in particular, should never eat indiscriminately.

In the end, something happened to the eating, and many people began to have diarrhea after nightfall. No matter how strong the man is, he can't stand the three bubbles, and in the dark night, there are mosquitoes and insects. The sound of "poof" in the forest is endless, even Qimei's palace maid is no exception. For a moment, the whole camp stinks. The forest is full of people squatting in pits, and walking blindly in the dark light is not an ordinary attention, not afraid of stepping on but afraid of stepping on people.

There are naturally people who don't have diarrhea, and that is Yun Yue and his subordinates. It has been four days since I left Handan, and there is a city further on. At that time, I am afraid that the difficulty factor will increase exponentially, and today is a good time.

"My lord, croton is also added to the horse feed. The two cartloads of crotons we pulled were all used up, and even if they wanted to run back to report the news, I am afraid that they would not have any manpower and horses. "Lao Jiang's goods have been a bit of a refinement recently, and he always appears like a ghost by Yun Yue's side.

"If you can make a little noise next time, the good people will have to scare you out. Leave a signal for An Pingjun's people before leaving tomorrow! I hope those Bearded Knights can restrain these people and give us time to escape. ”

"The bearded sword knight is the elite of my Great Zhao, and with An Pingjun's personal guard cavalry, it is estimated that there is no problem. The adults said that they would be trapped for three days, and no one would slip through the net. Lao Jiang seems to have a lot of confidence in An Pingjun's subordinates, since this veteran soldier has said so. It is estimated that there will not be much of a problem, Yun Yue will only need three days. These three days were enough for him to return to Handan, save Zhao Ji and then escape to Qin. It's just the death of Qin Shi Huang, Yun Yue scratched her head a little, and Zhao Ji without Qin Shi Huang could still become the queen of Great Qin.

No matter how worried you are, the sun will still rise. When the morning sun of a new day appeared on the horizon, Yun Yue saw an army that was extremely tired. Everyone drooped their heads, and even the horses lay on the ground and refused to move. No matter how the knight went up and pulled, he just didn't leave.

"Brother, what's going on? You don't have diarrhea, brother, I've been pulling all night, oh, don't mention it, brother's hemorrhoids are committed again. It hurts my brother to death! "I didn't have the interest to go to Yunyue to tidy up breakfast, and I lay in the tent and made a sound.

Diarrhea and hemorrhoids are the most tangled things in life. Yun Yue was deeply silent for General Chengli, and saw a lively man lying there like a sick cat. Yun Yue knew that the combat effectiveness of this team was completely useless.

"They all said that you will not be allowed to drink unboiled water, and the water in this wild is always unclean. You see, none of my people have anything to do, you just don't listen to persuasion! Yun Yue pretended to be a good person and sighed, but her heart blossomed.

"Can you go?"

"My brother looks like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go. Brother, how about we take a day off? "It seems that the hemorrhoids of Chengli are very serious, otherwise he would never speak softly as a tough guy.

"The elder brother has a bad disease, and the younger brother should be accommodating, but there are poor mountains and bad rivers here. If there are villains, how can it be good, Yun Yue means that we will march as usual today. Jishui City is only two days away from here, so why don't we send our soldiers to ask for help. Ask them to send troops to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Wings, and when the time comes, we will have the wings of the Jishui soldiers. It is easy to enter Jishui City to recuperate, and it is better than camping in this poor mountain and bad water. What does Big Brother think? ”

"Uh......!" Chengli obviously hesitated, but Yun Yue's plan was the most secure now. The Praetorian Guards are now weak, and it is really dangerous if there are bad people who covet them. If you can get the wings of Jishui City's reinforcements, it will naturally be much better to enter Jishui City to recuperate.

"Moreover, according to Yun Yue, so many people in the army have diarrhea. It must be due to the fact that the water here is not suitable for drinking, and we will not talk about mosquito nuisance here. Even drinking water is hard to come by, not to mention the fact that it is now surrounded by feces, which further pollutes the water source. Brother Cheng doesn't want to drink fecal water! ”

"Uh......! This, naturally, is not wanted. The brothers got it right. For my brother, I ordered people to pull out the camp, and they could go as far as they could. He also asked his brother to send his subordinates to inform the defenders of Naji Water City. Let them send troops to protect our army. ”

Chengli's subordinates had already been pulled into soft-footed crabs at this time, and even the horses were crotonized by the old ginger. It really can't be sent, Yun Yue is overjoyed.

Soon Lao Jiang galloped out of the camp with the three of them, of course they were not looking for the defenders of Jishui City. Instead, he went looking for the long-awaited An Pingjun!

"What? This kid made the five hundred forbidden troops have diarrhea at the same time? An Pingjun pulled his beard and listened to Lao Jiang's advice. I felt that Yun Yue's methods were simply incredible, and I had heard that he could live and die in the Northland. Could it be that he is really a disciple of the legendary Guiguzi Sect who went down the mountain?

Every time the disciples of the Ghost Valley go down the mountain, it will cause changes in the power of the Seven Kingdoms. Wei De Pang Juan, Wei Wushu rampant in the world. Qi got Sun Bin and beheaded Pang Juan in Maling. Bloody rain, An Pingjun has been obsessed with listening to it since he was a child. Maybe this unquiet Warring States will set off a bloody storm again. (To be continued......)
