In fact, a few days ago, the cavalry of Smyrna was eliminated, and everyone did not go far all the way, according to Lao Luo's estimate, it was about 120 kilometers east from Smyrna, and having a mount was not the same speed as walking and walking, although there was no galloping horse.

The mountains in the distance Lao Luo still have some impressions, after all, later generations have also come to this land, but there is no city in later generations, there are barren grass or mountains and rocks everywhere, and there is no specific reference, according to the theodolite orientation determination, Lao Luo estimates that his position is probably in the east of the small city of Kula in the later generations, if you don't get lost and go the wrong way, you can reach Ankara in about three or five days at most, of course, the premise is that it doesn't rain, in winter and early spring, there is a lot of rain on this peninsula.

The team that set off again was reorganized, divided into a scout team that went out to explore the way, and a guard team responsible for defense, in addition, each person had two horses and a camel to change rides, and the extra horses and camels carried a few goods, so that there was a logistics team dedicated to driving the camel team, Lao Luo mixed with a few people who were not good at fighting, one was to protect everyone, and at the same time, it was also to let go of his soldiers, and by the way to observe their performance.

I can't help but say that these guys under Lao Luo are all smart people, although they seem to look like reckless men who only know how to be brave.

Gonzhas had promised allegiance to Lao Luo before, Alker, as the head of the scout team, was even more quick-witted, since Sidd Nord dared to obey the discipline of his duties, he naturally knew how to read people's hearts, Stan, a big guy, only liked to collect loot, but he was not an insatiable bandit, the survival knowledge of the Viking was always learned from blood and killing, all of them understood Lao Luo's arrangement, which was cultivated as the basic framework of the army, rather than the hard division of labor as slaves.

There are many things that don't need to be explained, and there is no need to even communicate, there are many smart people in this world, there are many mediocre people, and there are not many stupid people.

Although they can run around and escape from Lao Luo's control when they come here, where is it not a life for one or a few people to be alone? You don't have to think about it when you return to your hometown, you will definitely be hunted down as a fugitive slave on the road, even if you return to your hometown smoothly, you will only be excluded by your clansmen, a defeated warrior should die in battle, how can those who flee back have a chance to gain a foothold?

It is a person who has a self-motivated heart, everything shows that Lao Luo is a leader worthy of their respect, and everything is also moving in the direction of expectations, so it is reasonable to be unreasonable for everyone to work hard, and everyone with a clear division of labor is doing their best, and some people have set an example, and naturally there are smart people who do it, and the next road is naturally more efficient.

Lao Luo was pleased with this phenomenon, which showed that he was doing the right thing, didn't he see that together with Naga and Munaqi and Cui Shibalang, they also began to take charge of themselves and chase down the bandits who blocked the road?

It's just that these boys have also transformed their respect for Lao Luo into Li Ji, especially with Cui Shibalang, a guy who has always been flamboyant, and a third aunt, which often annoys Li Ji, a fire girl.

Li Ji is a cheerful woman, and she is very courageous, otherwise how dare she explore secrets in the academy library in Constantinople alone? However, after Lao Luo picked out the emotional things between the two, it was a bit opposite, she didn't follow Lao Luo for two days in a row as before, and she staggered several times, still breathing out of her nostrils.

This girl's performance made Lao Luo a little crying and laughing, and everyone around her understood the matter of herself and her, and even the classmates who knew Chinese began to call Li Ji Mrs. Naga and Mnaqi.

But this time shouldn't be the time to indulge this little woman to play a little temper, Lao Luo took advantage of the change of horses on the way and grabbed this hot girl, "Siniang, don't play with your little temper, safety on the road is important." ”

Li Ji was actually not angry, but she felt that that morning, in front of many people, she was so intimate with him, and she was a little embarrassed to face it. The Tang people are originally open-minded, and the daughter of the Li family is not the kind of show girl raised in the boudoir of the Oriental clan, not to mention that the craftsman battalion has been running around in the Western Regions for more than 100 years over the years, and many customs have been deeply influenced by the Turks, Arabs and Persians.

Not far from the artisan camp is the grassland pastoral area, where people in the pastoral area often sing and dance when they gather, and young men and women who fall in love make promises for marriage in front of everyone, and they will also receive the blessings of everyone present. Li Ji has never seen this scene when she was young, but she always feels a little sudden when it is her turn.

When Lao Luo grabbed Li Ji, did she really want to get angry and make fun of people? But followed by Lao Luo's words were low, she couldn't help but be a little confused, and when she recalled what Lao Luo said, she found that Lao Luo's eyes were staring at her, and she said in her heart, it's over, she is dead, and she is actually confused at this time.

didn't get angry, Lao Luo was just a little funny, this girl is usually very shrewd and alert, how can she start to get confused when she listens to herself.

Some pity straightened Li Jiao's Persian-style pointed hat, which was a popular style in Byzantium, afraid that she would be embarrassed, Lao Luo said in a low voice: "Siniang, don't be confused, this road is not very smooth, didn't you see that the boys of Eighteen Lang went to chase the robbers?" ”

"yes, got it." Li Ji relieved herself, blushed and nodded her promise, this is the man he likes as soon as he meets, although he stunned himself first when he met for the first time. But who has the ability on the grassland who doesn't have a little temper? What's more, the man I fancy is strong and erudite, and he is a big hero who can protect himself, so I see that the sister over there in the craftsman camp can have her own luck?

It's a pity that Lao Luo doesn't know how to read minds, and the Taoist secret techniques he has practiced have only just been spied on, otherwise he will definitely sigh that the past and the present are the same, woman, your name is vanity. Of course, this is just an exaggeration, and the careful thinking of the daughter's family is difficult for Lao Luo, a rough military man, to understand.

After enlightening and settling Li Ji, there are no important hidden dangers in this team, and these soldiers under his command who have begun to exert an integration effect can easily cope with the trivial matters on the road.

As long as he did not encounter a large-scale army, Lao Luo dared to say that his gang did not need to be afraid of any trouble on the way east, and the scattered thirty or fifty bandits were just giving themselves property, perhaps these bandits also had some Byzantine aristocratic or bureaucratic background, and he began to expect someone in Ankara to provoke him at this time.

Lao Luo, who has recovered the mentality of a warrior, is really not afraid of any conspiracy, no matter who the opponent is, I have a long knife in my hand, and I will kill it.

In this state of mind, Lao Luo's practice has the meaning of a thousand miles a day, but perhaps it is the accumulation of time that he has finally broken through the bottleneck, the sensing range of this spiritual power is expanding day by day, and the accuracy has also improved, but the intensity is always not high, it is just an induction, and it cannot change the surrounding things like a spell. Thinking about it, he is just a beginner, and it is already good to be inductive, and it is wishful thinking to call the wind and rain all at once.

Lao Luo is not a person who is ambitious, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, first do what he can do, things are always getting better step by step, with more mental power induction, he is already much stronger than others, and if he raises himself too much, he will become out of the crowd, and becoming like an ascetic is not Lao Luo's style. Even warriors always live in a human group, otherwise wouldn't it be better to practice in the primeval forests of the East African plateau?

Jingyuan secret art is not a stake or meditation and other meditation exercises, Lao Luo tried to practice on Heiyun's back with only the movements of the upper body, and he practiced more diligently, Heiyun, a very spiritual horse, prefers to carry Lao Luo around, and I don't see it feeling tired like other people of the same kind.

Maybe the animals have some instinctive inductions and the like, and Hua Biao is not like in the past when they could be taken away by Li Ji. When Lao Luo was practicing, Hua Biao would always try to get closer to him, preferably on the back of Heiyun's horse. Heiyun is not exclusive to Hua Biao, every time Hua Biao approaches, Heiyun always stops slightly, and then Hua Biao will climb directly to Heiyun's back along the stirrup and saddle, without scratching Heiyun's skin with his claws.

One person, one horse and one cat, this kind of scene will always make people look quite happy, at least Li Ji thinks so.

"Third brother, why does Hua Biao always like to chase after you?"

"Well, maybe it's because I saved it in the first place, you don't know, the earliest Hua Biao was only such a big and small group, and it looked like it was going to starve to death." When Lao Luo spoke, his two hands were still comparing.

"It's hard to imagine that this naughty guy is so pitiful." Li Ji stared at Hua Biao in the saddle behind Lao Luo with love, and Hua Biao either grabbed the back of Lao Luo's clothes with his paws, or kept licking the fur on his paws.

"Not only Hua Biao, but even this big guy is also very smart," Lao Luo patted Heiyun's neck, and Heiyun hissed happily, "Look, it knows that I'm complimenting it, it's very happy." ”

The horse Li Ji was riding was a white Arabian horse of standard size, much shorter than Heiyun's height, but it was also very spiritual, and the horses of this era were far from being as squeamish as the horses running on the track in later generations, "That's right, my jade lion is also good." ”

Time and the road passed leisurely in the small talk between Lao Luo and Li Ji, and the trivial matters along the way were handed over to his subordinates, and Lao Luo had a lot of time to spend on himself or the people around him.

The word efficiency is really a good thing, Lao Luo is quite emotional, if the biggest difference between this era and later generations is actually efficiency, advanced or appropriate management system helps to improve efficiency, whether it is for the army or for the mixed group in front of you.

The biggest difference is in front of Lao Luo's eyes, Ankara, which was expected to take at least three or five days to arrive, is now only the evening of the third day, and Ankara is already not far away, even if there are many "encounters" of bandits along the way, there are several times when they almost go the wrong way.

"Boss, it's almost twenty miles to Ankara, and there is a spacious place near the lake near the lake for camping, do you think we are resting here?" Alke stood respectfully in front of Lao Luo and said.

"Okay, I'll rest there tonight, and I'll leave tomorrow morning and go straight to Ankara." Lao Luo casually agreed to this matter.

Along the way, I don't care about the little things on the road, let these people call the shots, there may be some small mistakes, but there are also some small accidents, this Alker in front of him is one of them, this is a good scout candidate, whether it is exploring the road or surveying the terrain to choose the camp to settle in, there has never been a mistake.
