In the early morning, the clouds are not very bright in the glow of the rising sun, but they are enveloped in each other, forming a beautiful scene. From afar, the villages are dotted, and the rest is full of the vast Gobi yellow sand!

The sky is gradually brightening, on the vast Gobi, an army of tens of thousands of people is marching mightily, a red flag of the Great Zhou is guarded by two flying tiger and flying leopard flags, waving in the wind! After the three flags, a banner embroidered with the word "willow" is also particularly eye-catching!

It is not difficult to see from the armor on the soldiers that they have just experienced a brutal war! Although the soldiers have chapped lips and look tired, but the tiredness on their faces can not hide the joy of returning triumphantly.

Not long ago, Liu Maoyuan was appointed by the Great Zhou Emperor Wu Zetian to go to the north to exterminate the Turkic rebels who repeatedly attacked and disturbed the border, and the army has been on the expedition for more than two months, and there have been many good news to the Shendu in more than two months, and the court is all happy!

The news of the triumph of the counterinsurgency army has long been transmitted back to Shendu, and the emperor ordered the states and counties along the way to be ready to meet them! Shuozhou, as the first stop to welcome, naturally attaches great importance to it!

Shuozhou's big and small officials in Shuozhou Thorn Shi Feng Zhijing under the leadership of early at the city gate to greet, at this moment Shuozhou colorful flags fluttering, Thorn Shi Feng Zhijing climbed the Shuozhou city tower, looking at the vast desert, anxiously waiting for the red flag of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The people are waiting at the gates of the city to prepare for the triumphant return of the army! Their group of people living in the border pass area have been attacked by the Turks in the past few months, and the people in the border pass are miserable! After General Liu's army drove to the border pass, the people of the border pass did not see a single Turk for more than two months, and what made the people even more excited was to hear that General Liu's army had beaten the rebel leader of the self-proclaimed 'Jiechuan Lishi Khan' back to his Mobei lair, so the people wanted to see with their own eyes this mighty army that brought them peace and stability!

The guards standing on the top of the city tower saw a military flag appear in the desert in the distance, and then small black dots appeared in the desert!

"My lord, here we are!" The guards guarding the city shouted in the direction of the assassin Shi Feng Zhijing!

Feng Zhijing looked into the distance, and also saw the big flag fluttering in front of the army, and he was immediately excited!

The weather in the Gobi is always unpredictable, just before the sun is rising, and suddenly the wind is blowing! The wind swept the dust and sand, and those who blew could not open their eyes. The black clouds in the sky swallowed everything, and the entire Gobi seemed to have disappeared! In an instant, it seemed that the earth was trembling, and the black clouds were mixed with lightning like silver snakes dancing wildly, and the deafening thunder was even more violent and impermanent, and there were bursts of wails among the flying sand and rocks, and everyone in the city shuddered!

"The black sand is coming, come inside!" I don't know who shouted!

When the people heard the shouting, they ran back to the nearby houses to take shelter, and all the officials also hid in the houses, and only when the raging wind subsided and the light returned to the outside did the people come out with courage, and the ground, roofs, trees, and everything in the village were covered with a layer of yellow sand, but what shocked everyone even more was that the army just now disappeared at this moment!

"Huh? Why are all those officers and soldiers gone? A guard standing on a high place shouted!

Hearing the shouts of the guards, Feng Zhijing hurriedly climbed to the top of the city tower and looked into the distance, and sure enough, the shadow of the army was gone!

"Someone, ride a fast horse over and check it out! What's the situation, it's a quick return! Assassin Shi Feng Zhijing shouted in a panic!

Soon, a group of cavalry galloped out of the city and ran to the place where the army had just passed, in addition to the yellow sand or yellow sand in front of them, several military flags and the red flags of the Great Zhou were half-hidden in the yellow sand, and some weapons scattered on the ground, these things were enough to prove that there was indeed an army passing by just now, but whether it was a general or a soldier, all of them were gone!

"Second Brother Li, where is this person?" A soldier asked in a loud voice!

"Could it have been a long way off?" Another soldier said!

"No, just for a while, how far can they go, besides, how dare they throw their flags and weapons here? That's a sin of killing the head! "This one named Li Er said!

"Isn't it hell? Did you hear it just now, someone shouted that the black sand sand is coming, I heard the old man say that there is a monster called the nine-headed black sand sand in this black desert, it is said that it is more than ten zhang long, and every step is the ground shakes the mountains, and each head has two eyes like lanterns, each mouth is more than a zhang wide, and the nostrils are breathing, like a strong wind! Didn't these people scream at the monster and swallow it? A soldier said while picking up the yellow sand!

"Don't be foolish, you've seen that monster? We need to report to Lord Assassin Shi quickly! Li Er said!

Soon Shuozhou Assassin Shi Feng Zhijing received a return from the cavalry, after listening to the report, the assassin Shi Feng Zhijing sat down on the chair, the emperor's hand-picked general was victorious and disappeared on the way, which was tantamount to a catastrophe for Feng Zhijing!

Seeing Feng Zhijing so flustered, Sima Jiang Chongshili of Shuozhou, who had just walked in, asked, "My lord, are you okay?" ”

After a while, Feng Zhijing came to his senses, "Jiang Chong, something is wrong!" ”

Jiang Chong also heard the report of the cavalry, and his forehead was sweating, "My lord, this is too strange?" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's strange or not, what matters is how we can keep the black veil on our heads!" Thorn Shi Feng Zhijing said worriedly!

"My lord, we don't need to panic too much, let's just report it truthfully! Although General Liu and his soldiers disappeared under our rule, we are at most a crime of dereliction of duty and failure to investigate, just dredge up and down! Jiang Chong comforted!

"Alas! I'm worried that the imperial court will send someone to investigate, this pull out the radish and bring out the mud, you and I ......" Assassin Shi Feng Zhijing said halfway through his words and looked at Jiang Chong!

As Sima of Shuozhou, Jiang Chong naturally understood what Feng Zhijing meant, and couldn't help but be a little worried, but after thinking for a while, he said, "My lord, I have an idea!" ”

Hearing that Jiang Chong had an idea, Assassin Shi Feng Zhijing immediately stood up, "What idea?" Tell me about it! ”

"We are now in a hurry of six hundred miles now, and send this recital to the Shendu, if it is too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell!" Sima Jiangchong said!

"What's your idea? I don't know how to report yet? It's just that how do we write this newspaper? Assassin Shi Feng Zhijing said with annoyance!

"Don't panic, don't you hear anyone shouting just now above the castle tower? The Black Sand Fox is coming! There have long been rumors that there is a nine-headed black sand in this black desert, and we say that the army may have encountered this monster, and we can't save it! Sima Jiangchong said softly!

"That's all there is to it now, alas!" After the Assassin Feng Zhijing sighed, he stamped the Great Seal of the Assassin Shi on the newspaper, and ordered someone to rush to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, for six hundred miles!

That night, Zhang Cambodia, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was sitting in the Zhongshu Provincial Judgment Hall, when suddenly, the Zhongshu Sheren hurriedly pushed the door and broke in, leaned down and bowed down, and shouted: "Pavilion Lao! ”

Zhang Cambodia's face tightened, and he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

The Zhongshu Sheren was still full of panic, and hurriedly stood up, trembling with both hands holding this urgent report and presenting it to Prime Minister Zhang Khanzhi, "Elder Ge, this is the six-hundred-mile urgent report just sent by Hedong Province!" ”

Zhang Cambodia took the report, opened it and read it, and suddenly Zhang Cambodia's face changed greatly, his body fell back, and he leaned back on the chair. ”

Zhang Cambodia didn't speak for a long time, his cheeks were already sweating, and the Zhongshu people looked at Zhang Cambodia who was stunned, and said: "Ge Lao, this matter is too important, don't report it to the emperor first, if Long Yan is angry, I'm afraid it will ......."

Zhang Cambodia stood up suddenly and said, "You immediately copy a copy of this report and give it to Di Ge Lao!" I'm going to enter the palace to face the saint! ”

When the people of the Zhongshu House heard Zhang Cambodia's words, they hurriedly did so, Zhang Cambodia changed into court clothes, boarded the carriage that had been prepared outside the door, and went straight to the palace!
