As he spoke, he took up his pen and made a mark on the parchment map: "There is a blister here, formed by the flow of an underground river. Although it is small, it is enough for your three soldiers to eat horses, feed them and take out a bath. Most of the horse bandits in this area know the law of its movement, and now it is the dry season, so they will definitely come to fetch water, as long as you guard it, you can catch all the horse bandits. ”

"That's it...... It's that simple? ”

Zhao Zheng was skeptical. You must know that when marching in the desert Gobi, the most troublesome thing is the lack of fresh water, so the marching route he chose was as close to the Luoshui River as possible, and there were many detours; If there is an additional water supply, it is a shortcut!

"But there's a serious problem."

Jun Qi said in an accentuated tone: "When you find this blister, remember: you can only come out in the middle of the night to get water, and you can't move it during the day!" ”

"Why?"

"Because it's too dry during the day, the blisters are full of quicksand, which will eat people."

Xue He heard this, and hugged his arm: "It's too dangerous!" Anyway, you've got to take us there! ”

"Oops."

Jun Yi frowned, and tried to withdraw his hand but failed: "I really have official business!" …… You know, big brother is terrible to be mad about! ”

"No matter!"

"Good boy!"

"It's not good!"

Zhao Zheng pulled her arm expressionlessly and broke it off little by little.

"Can't let him go!"

"Uh-huh, that's what I thought at first."

Zhao Zheng said with a straight face. - At first, I seriously thought about burying him here.

Junqi finally broke free from her clutches and lifted the curtain out of the tent.

"Hey! Don't go! ”

Jun Qi didn't speak, and snapped his fingers with a smile.

I saw the red horse snort, leap a few steps out of the stable, and ran to it. The horse got on the saddle, and saw the tall horse leap lightly out of the camp gate, galloping in one direction, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Everyone in the barracks sighed, looking at his disappearing back in disbelief, thinking it was a hallucination.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Zheng would not have been able to believe it if he was really killed.

"It's all your fault!"

Xue He shook his hand angrily: "It's hard to catch him again this time!" ”

"Is he a youkai too?!"

"Youkai, you're big! How do you think everyone looks like a youkai?! ”

Xue He said: "That little red horse is a heavenly horse, called 'the scorching sun of the West Pole'; It was originally a fiery unicorn, which was fierce and untamable, and was later given to Junyi's brother as a birthday gift by the Emperor of Heaven. ”

Such a big deal? What the hell is your business?!

"However, the scorching sun of the West Pole is a fierce beast, and wherever it haunts, there will be wars."

Seeing his shocked face, Xue He couldn't help but say again: "When it is hungry, it only eats the spirit that died in the war, and when it is thirsty, it only drinks the blood of the enemy, and it runs fast and is easy to take care of, it is really a cute and caring baby!" ”

Why I can't see anything cute.

The corners of Zhao Zheng's mouth twitched: "Your pets, are they so unusual?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Xue He seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly said excitedly: "By the way, the scorching sun in the West Pole still has a role!" It is said that wherever it appears, the next day is a sunny day! ”

"You, you ......"

Zhao Zheng said with a sad face: "How does this sound the same as charlatanism?!" This is superstition, isn't it......?"

Where does Xue He care about him, humming a little song and happily packing his luggage.

Although the local guide also said that the wind and sand would not stop for ten days and a half months, the next day's clear sky and the wind and clouds stopped like a big mouth hitting everyone in the face.

Early in the morning, Xue He rode her old short little red horse, carrying her little baggage, and stood at the gate of the camp in high spirits waiting to set off.

The convoy transporting supplies has also arrived at the back door of the post station, and is counting the materials with the generals in the army to handle the handover; The spies sent out a few days ago also sent back news one after another, and they had found out the location of the horse bandits, and unexpectedly found the blister that Jun Qi had lifted.

Although I don't want to admit it, I was all right by that damn starling.

Well, who made the family a fox fairy?

Even if you are unhappy, the overall situation is still important, and it is most important to go home as soon as possible to win the battle. Zhao Zheng didn't say much, quickly reorganized the soldiers and horses, took advantage of the good weather to go all the way north, and went straight to the next camping point.

In the end, he still took Jun Qi's suggestion and changed the original camp location, and according to the location marked by Jun Qi, he really found the little blister.

When he saw the small puddle from afar, Zhao Zheng remembered Jun Yi's reminder, ordered the whole army to rest in place, and ordered someone to take a bamboo pole to explore the road first. Sure enough, the seemingly clear and harmless pool of clear water was surrounded by deadly quicksand, and once it got close, it would fall silently into a sea of sand. When the generals in the army saw this, they all praised the prince for being like a god.

To be honest, I couldn't be happy at all when I heard this kind of compliment.

Zhao Zheng ordered the whole army to set up camp on a high ground in the downwind and wait for midnight to fetch water. At this time, the image of Zhao Zheng, the king of Ning, in the eyes of the soldiers, is not only like a god with soldiers, but also more Zhuge Liang than Zhuge Liang! Morale was high in an instant, and everyone was just looking forward to finding out as soon as possible that the main force of the horse bandits would win a big victory!

However, what Zhao Zheng thought in his heart at this time was: As long as I mix for another ten days, I will immediately leave the camp and go home on the grounds that I can't find the horse bandits!

Along the way, I have also encountered several sporadic horse bandits, all of which are about to collapse at the touch of a button. After all, Zhao Zheng has an absolute advantage in numbers, and he is a new force, although there are only dozens of enemies to be destroyed, but he has an excellent mentality - flies are also meat, and he can earn a little is a little, even if he turns around and goes home now, it is not considered to return empty-handed, and the court is not good at it, isn't it?

But Xuehe doesn't see it that way: to fight, you have to hurt each other with real swords and guns! After working hard to pull out more than 20,000 people, it took a few small thieves who were only a dozen people to clean up? How can this be done back? Although some horses and property were seized, they were so lost! Even the tea fee is not enough!

If you don't make it, you earn too little.

Although the advice of her generals was surprisingly consistent with her, Zhao Zheng still only wanted to go home early.

"Short-sighted! A little rich is safe! Bah! ”

Xuehe soaked comfortably in the hot water, looking at Zhao Zheng who was roasting in the camp tent through the autumn-colored gauze screen, and unceremoniously counted:

"Anyway, he is also the prince who has led troops to fight and fight horses all his life! A manly man is to make a contribution! Do you want to go home when you encounter some difficulties, or want to go home when you just taste a little sweetness? Then why did you come out to fight in the first place?! Stay at home! ”

Even the old prison eunuch who was standing on the side and serving couldn't help but snicker, and raised his big finger towards the side of the screen.

Zhao Zheng glared at him and defended unconvinced:

"It's called contentment! Do you understand when you see it? The ghost weather in the north of the desert can change! In case there is another sandstorm, and the horse bandits cannot be found, wouldn't it be a loss for the whole army to bury their bones here? …… It's nice to earn some money! How much is a lot? Safety first! ”

"Fart!"

Xue He was so angry that he snatched the towel from the little rabbit's hand and threw it at him.

The screen fell to the ground in response, and saw Xuehe's long hair coiled on the top of his head, exposing his wet neck and a bent snow arm, and pointed at him with one hand and counted:

"You crow's mouth! Can you make a little difference? Just know to go home! What's in your house? Is there a goblin that hooks your soul? ”

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and saw that although the snow river was violent, the picture of the beauty taking a bath was really eye-catching, so he looked at her and smirked:

"That's not true, I've always had the goblins with me."

The old internal eunuch Zhang Mazi is a person with a lot of vision, and when he saw this, he bowed his head deeply and quietly retreated.

"Don't interrupt me!"

Xue He stood up from the bathtub, and the little rabbit wrapped the soft velvet blanket around her white jade-like body: "It's a shame that I'm here!" Otherwise, God knows how you will just fool around and collect your troops and go back to the city! ”

Zhao Zheng got up and came to her with a smile, took the velvet blanket in the rabbit's hand, stretched out his hands and gently rubbed it back and forth on her warm body, it felt very good:

"My wish is world peace! Why do you always fight and kill, wow, how bad. ”

"Sophistry!"

Probably because of the hot water, her body is very warm, and even her lips are hot. The original white porcelain-like skin was steamed by the heat, with a warmer luster, and it was so beautiful in the dim light that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"What about the good things that will bring disaster to the country and the people?"

He lovingly kissed her wet fragrant shoulder: "Isn't it good to be a quiet little vixen?" You're going to be so motivated that it's like I'm dragging your feet? You're ,...... This,Let the future storytellers、How to arrange the book? ”

Xue He was amused by him: "I'll take care of them!" Anyway, I'm all in trouble, and I'm still afraid of what people say? ”

"Woe to you, then?"

He raised his eyebrows, his tone teasing.

The delicate red lips touched his lips lightly, and he said angrily: "Aren't I causing you trouble!" ”

"Oh, you're obviously not serious enough about this disaster."

"How serious do you have to be?"

"For example......"

As he spoke, his fingertips picking open the overlapping gaps in the velvet blanket behind her, and a hand crept in, gently sliding down the curves of her body.

"Ahem."

The gauze screen behind him was helped up by the rabbit at some point, and there seemed to be a figure standing behind him, deliberately coughing twice.

"Your uncle."

Qin Bai gritted his teeth and scolded. His fingers froze, and he had to wrap her up again—it was a private treasure, and he didn't want to show it to others.

"Don't think I want to come to you so much."

Qin Song said sadly through the screen: "Who are you going to be happy to see you sprinkle dog food?" ”

"Who invited you to come and see again?"

Qin Bai replied with an unhappy face: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Lao Tzu is busy. ”

Xue He hid in his arms, and always felt that every time these two men met, the atmosphere was weird.
