It's a sea of green. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAs far as the eye can see, everywhere is green. Deep, shallow, light, dark, etc., etc. It is also a sea of trees, with tall and straight trees reaching into the sky.

All kinds of strangely shaped vines grow and climb along the ancient trees. In the end, the branches and leaves of the ancient tomb were intertwined with the rattans, as if covering the entire sea of trees with layers of nets, and it was also very similar to the dark green seabed, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate it.

At the bottom of the dark and damp trees, layers of fallen leaves fall year after year, piling up into a thick layer to cover the entire ground, and when you step on it, you will suddenly fall deep into the layers of fallen leaves. The smell of mildew filled the air.

The roar of apes, tigers, and beasts came from the depths of the sea of trees from time to time, startling a large number of birds to flutter their wings and rush to the sky in panic.

It's a forbidden place that no one has ever set foot in.

This is the southernmost southern point of Great Qin.

Accompanied by the "click" sound of towering ancient trees falling to the ground, a trumpet with a Qin dialect came from far and near. In the deep silence, hot and humid primeval jungle, it is extraordinarily clear.

If someone can look down from the sky at this time, they can clearly see a straight and spacious avenue that has begun to take shape from one end of the forest sea and extends towards the depths of the forest sea.

On this wide avenue, which seems to split the whole forest sea, at regular intervals, you can see tall houses made of rough and completely logs.

At the other end of the avenue, where the smoke rises from the depths of the forest, you can see huge white tents dotted in the green forest like stars in the sky.

In the center of the tent, on the two tall flagpoles, two flags fluttered from time to time because of the forest wind, and one of them was faintly visible in the center of the flag. On the other hand, it is the winged black tiger.

Here, it was the 50,000 Tiger Ben army led by the commander who went south for the first time to represent the Qin people to set foot in the Mengkuo camp in the wild land south of Nanyue.

In a particularly huge tent in the center of the camp, Meng Kuo, who was bald and wearing only a close-fitting coat, leaned over and stared at the copper case in front of him without blinking.

On the edge of the copper case, at this moment, there are three men who are also bare-headed and wearing close-fitting clothes, who are struggling to write.

In the huge tent, it was stuffy like a steamer.

The sweat beads on the bare heads and necks of the three men who were sitting on the desk were densely packed, and then gathered into beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down their foreheads, soaking their eyebrows and eyelashes. In the end, the thin clothes were soaked, making the whole person feel as if they had just been fished out of the water.

Even so, the three men at the desk didn't seem to feel that they were completely soaked with sweat, and their eyes widened from time to time to look at the things in the hands of their companions on the side, and then traced something again. Only when beads of sweat roll down the eyes. will blink his eyes a few times and squeeze off beads of sweat very quickly.

Although Meng Kuo did not move, his situation did not seem to be any different from that of the three people who were lying on the desk.

If Hu Hai was here at this moment, he would not dare to recognize Meng Kuo if he saw him. In a year, Meng Kuo's whole person has changed. It's dark and thin, but his eyes have become more and more sharp.

Obviously, a year's time. This lone army that went south to explore and build roads must have experienced something unusual.

Suddenly, several large balls of sweat rolled down the eyes of the man in the center of the three people lying on the desk, and the salty sweat entered the eyes, and the man's hand couldn't help shaking, and the brush in his hand suddenly focused on two balls of ink on the parchment.

"That's all for today. Go get a fire and dry the ink, don't get soaked again. ”

The three people who were sitting at the desk had not yet spoken. Meng Kuo, who had been watching, spoke first.

"Whoa!" The three of them hurriedly bowed down at the same time.

The three of them got up and carefully lifted the parchment on the copper case. At one end, the parchment has clear lines outlined into rivers and mountains, and a thick black line runs through the center.

It's just that these lines come to an abrupt halt halfway through. The other half is all blank.

It's a map that's not finished yet.

Meng Kuo wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and finally muttered something.

"General! Checkmate! Suddenly, there were two eager exchanges outside the tent.

"What?" Meng Kuo walked a few steps to the outside of the tent.

"General. Just now another brother was bitten by some poisonous insect that I don't know. "It was a sturdy man with a bald head, also dressed in a close-fitting coat. It's just that he wears a black belt around his waist like Meng Kuo.

In the huge camp, from time to time, a man wearing a small coat and wearing a bare head and a belt of various colors around his waist walked by. Of course, there are also people who are bare-chested and strong, carrying thick logs and shouting trumpets.

When the five legions of the Bashang battalion were formed, Hu Hai prescribed different colors for the inner robes of the five legions in order to distinguish generals at all levels in wartime or peacetime.

Ordinary soldiers are all embroidered in white, Wu Chang green, Shi Chang red, Tun Chang yellow, 100 generals blue, 500 main orange, 2500 main purple, and all lieutenants and above are black embroidery.

If nothing else, the bare-headed man in front of him should be at least a general at the level of the Tiger Ben Military Academy.

"Did you deliver it to Mr. Zhou?" Meng Kuo frowned, touched his bare skull, and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the general, I sent it. It's just that it's only a few tens of breaths, and that brother is no longer good. The general who came to report whispered.

Meng Kuo was silent for a while when he heard this, and held back four words in a low voice.

"Cremation Altar."

"Whoa!" The general didn't turn around and leave, paused for a moment and said, "General, the camp is no longer full of medicinal materials. The supplies in the back haven't come up yet, do you want to send the brothers out to find them? The weather was so stuffy that the brothers and the people had fallen ill a lot. ”

"Half a month ago, the Mo County of Shu County sent a letter saying that the people who transported herbs and grain and grass equipment had been strictly stated, and it was estimated that they should be able to arrive in another ten days. You still don't want to go out, what medicinal herbs do you need, I asked the brother of Longwei Mansion to ask Mr. Zhou to pick some when he goes out every day and bring them back. ”

Meng Kuo thought for a moment and refused.

"The last general commands."

"What happened to the old gentlemen and the injured brothers of the Longwei Mansion?"

"Several brothers in Longwei Mansion have recovered very quickly, and after they were bitten by poisonous insects, they all used some means, and their lives were saved, but I am afraid that they can only be wasted after they go back. Those old gentlemen are too weak, and if they continue to drag on, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Qingcheng didn't continue to say the rest of the words, but the worry in his words could be heard by anyone.

"When the baggage of Shu County arrives, bring the injured and sick brothers and people back to Shu County. The old gentlemen also went back together. Meng Kuo did not hesitate at all and said in a deep voice. (To be continued)
