Soon, Arrap entered the palace and asked Zhu Hao to order the cities of Cao and Kang to be released, so that the Tang Dynasty could go to Samad to build a city, because if Ji Hao did not give the order to let go, Zhao Ziliang and other more than 200 people could only stay in Kuzhanti City all the time, and it was impossible for Arrap to send troops to attack Kuzhanti City if he wanted to send troops to disguise themselves as horse bandits.

Under the persecution of Arap, the foundation had to order the cities along the way to be released to the Tang mission, and Zhao Ziliang and his party were able to get back on the road and march all the way to Kangguo.

"Great Khan, Great Khan, big things are not good, big things are not good!" Lord Mu panicked and ran to the foundation to report.

He frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Could it be that arap guy has made some kind of moth? ”

"But it's not, the next person came to report that early this morning, there was a large group of soldiers and horses in the barracks of the big cannibals, and after hearing this, Wechen felt that something was wrong, so he immediately found someone to inquire at the city gate, according to what the city gate guards said, this morning, Apul, the deputy general of Arap, led eight hundred cannibal cavalry out of the city, and Wechen guessed that they must have attacked the Tang envoys!"

His face turned pale when he heard this, and he was so shocked that the three souls and seven spirits were lost, and he sat down on the low mountain, the whole person was stupid, and his mouth kept chanting: "It's over, if the Tang Dynasty mission is attacked, the Tang Dynasty will definitely think that it was our Kang Guo who did it, and the Celestial Empire army will come over to crusade at any time, my Kang Guo is going to be finished, it's over!" Why didn't you report it sooner? ”

Lord Mu's mouth was full of bitterness when he heard this, "Great Khan, could it be that Weichen came to report earlier, and you sent someone to report to the Tang Mission?" What would be the consequences if the Great Cannibal found out? Great Khan, the great cannibals are ruthless, but if they don't do what they want, they will be worried about their lives at any time, let alone go to report to the Tang people? Anyway, now the big cannibal's knife is on our necks, and Datang is farther away from us, let's talk about it after the current level! If Datang really makes a big move because of this matter, when the soldiers come to the city, it will not be too late for us to put the responsibility on the head of the cannibal."

After listening to Lord Mu's words, he thought that what he said was not unreasonable, and at this time, he could only resign himself to fate.

Zhao Ziliang and his entourage spent two days from Juzhanti City to Buenjikart, the capital of Dongcao, and continued to rush to the capital of Kangguo, Samad to build the city, from Bunjikat to Sama, there are more than 200 miles, most of the way is desert, the team is moving slowly, and the others are okay, mainly Chen Qingying and Wang Zhiyun's mother and daughter can't ride horses, because they have been locked in cages for a long time, wandering, and their bodies are weak, and the two of them have slowed down the progress of the entire team. Later, Zhao Ziliang had to ask Chu Ge to send someone to lead their horses, so that the team would move faster.

A day after setting off from Buenjikate, Zhao Ziliang ordered to camp under a sand dune in the evening, and sent outposts to reconnoiter everywhere, and at the same time sent people to hide in the sand high in the dunes around the camp as a secret sentry, once someone approached, immediately shoot arrows to warn, after all, they were in a foreign country that was unfamiliar with life and was seriously hostile to them, and it was always good to be careful.

When the camp was set up, several fires rose in the open space in the middle, and a dozen large iron pots were set on the fire, each pot was boiling fragrant mutton, and a few pots were boiling green vegetables, which stunned Balu, a guide who often traveled to and from the Zhaowu countries.

He really couldn't understand where the dry wood could be found in the middle of the desert to make fires, and why these Tang people had so much water to cook mutton, greens, and baked baked cakes. Also, where are there so many vegetables here at this time, this kind of question makes Paris think incredible, but as a guide at this time, he is very smart not to ask Zhao Ziliang about this, he only knows that this time is the most comfortable time in his life during the journey, sufficient fresh water makes him not only not thirsty, but also full of spirit and physical strength because he has enough water to drink every day.

Balu was holding a cowhide water bag in one hand and a piece of roasted cake with green vegetables in the other hand and gnawing on it, and saw Zhao Ziliang squatting on the ground to bake a big leg of mutton, walked over and squatted down beside Zhao Ziliang and asked; "General, these days the villain sees that you have to eat a leg of mutton and several dough cakes per ton, your appetite is really large, no wonder you are extremely powerful and brave!"

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile while flipping the leg of mutton: "Eat more strength to have a great strength, we people are different from you, we are working hard to make a living, the stronger the force, the higher the chance of survival, and the higher the status!" By the way, how does it feel that you walk back and forth in this belt a lot? Will you feel bored? ”

Balu smiled and said: "Of course there is, I have been in this desert for many years, and I see the same color every day, how can I not be upset?" But as you said, it's all about begging for a living, and even if you get bored, you have to run back and forth, or you won't have anything to eat."

At this time, Zhao Ziliang saw Chen Qingying and Wang Zhiyun, mother and daughter, each holding a piece of dough cake and a bowl of water, walking to the fire next to them and sitting down, nibbling on the dough cake and drinking water, chewing and swallowing slowly, which was completely different from other people's gulps of food.

At this time, the leg of mutton was almost roasted, he thought about it, took out a sharp knife from the right side of the calf and cut off two pieces of meat from the leg of mutton, took it and walked over to hand it to them: "Here, your mother and daughter are too weak, you have to eat more meat, take it!" ”

Chen Qingying was "flattered", and she was sincerely frightened, and said in a loud voice: "Ah, how can this be, the general's food is large, you better keep it for yourself, our mother and daughter can just eat bread and vegetables, really don't need it!" ”

Although Chen Qingying said this, her daughter Wang Zhiyun had already swallowed saliva when she saw the fragrant mutton at this time, but Zhao Ziliang heard it clearly, stuffed two fist-sized pieces of mutton into her hands with a straight face, and said in a stiff tone: "Let you eat, you will eat, where is so much nonsense?" If we take care of our body, we won't slow us down, you know? ”

Chen Qingying reacted and was about to say thank you, but Zhao Ziliang had already returned to his original position and sat down to continue chatting with Paris.

At this time, Brehan came over and sat beside Zhao Ziliang and whispered: "General, there are sand dunes on both sides of the northwest here, it is very dangerous to camp in such terrain, once the enemy army is coming, it is not easy for us to retreat, after all, there are sand dunes behind us, and the enemy army will not give us enough time to turn around and rush to the sand dunes to break through!" And if the enemy goes around behind us, then we will be besieged."

Zhao Ziliang nodded, picked up the leg of mutton that had been examined, opened his mouth and took a big bite to eat, and said vaguely while eating: "I know, even if there is an enemy attack, I don't plan to turn around and retreat to break through, this kind of terrain we can only play the huge impact of the cavalry when we rush forward, and because we are behind the sand dunes, the enemy's cavalry has to stop after rushing over, they will lose speed, which is beneficial to us, so as long as our army does not turn around and retreat, the terrain will be favorable to us, and not to the enemy." In addition, I have asked Chu Ge to send someone to hide in the sand on the dunes, and if an enemy army goes around our back, the dark sentry will shoot arrows to warn! ”

Brehan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the general has been prepared, take your subordinates at ease!" Chu Ge and I will take turns on duty tonight, general, so get a good night's sleep."

Zhao Ziliang was also polite, "Okay, I'll leave it to you!" ”

In the middle of the night, Zhao Ziliang was woken up by Brehan.

"General, the situation is not good! One of the sentries returned with serious wounds, and died just after saying the words 'there are enemy troops'! ”

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he felt like he was hit by a spirit, and he suddenly had nothing at will, and immediately turned over and got up, "Where are the people?" ”

"It's right outside the tent!"

When he came to the corpse of the sentry, a large number of people had gathered around, and even the guide Balu squeezed over, Zhao Ziliang checked and found that the sentry was shot in the abdomen and bled to death!

"In which direction did he come back?"

Brehan replied: "Southwest! ”

Balu immediately said: "General, the city of Kangguo Samad is in the southwest, a maximum of one hundred and fifty miles away from here!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Brehan again and asked, "When he fled back, was there an enemy sentry behind him to chase him?" ”

Brehan nodded and said, "Yes, there are quite a few people, about a dozen rides!"

Zhao Ziliang's expression was awe-inspiring, he looked at the team leaders, team leaders, and even the leaders present and said: "The enemy detectives have all chased and killed nearby, it seems that the main force of the enemy army is not far from us, and we don't know the identity and strength of the other party yet!" ”

Chu Ge asked, "General, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, turned his head and looked at the stretching sand dunes in the northwest and two directions behind him, and immediately said: "Order, everyone retreats to the sand dunes in the northwest and hides, all the horses are taken away, all the lights are extinguished, and an empty camp is left here!" ”

"Uh・・・・・・ no!" Chu Ge immediately agreed.
