Chapter 323: Ant Plague!
Black Soil City is located in Shanbei Province, located in the north, with cold winters and endless desert permafrost.
Born in Black Earth City, Fang Xiaobao knows the situation in his hometown best, and he was often frozen because of the lack of warm clothes when he was young. Now he is wearing a fire fox fur that his friend Jin Laifu bought at a great price, and he can block any wind and cold. Besides, with his current physique, he can't be hurt by fire and ice, so how can he care about the cold weather.
I was in a hurry to return home, I didn't stay halfway, I had three meals a day casually, and I hurried overnight.
The retinue is either a high-ranking person who has been relict or an indigenous warrior who has taken Yingluo fruit, and has a strong physique, and can cope with hunger and cold. Ding Hui and the sergeants were so cold and hungry that they couldn't straighten their waists with their necks bent under the cold wind.
"Xiaojie, send a few pots of blood marrow wine over to keep them warm!"
People are in the chariot and know the outside world well. Seeing that Ding Hui and his gang had an unsupportable posture, Fang Xiaobao instructed Zhang Jie to send warmth.
"Holy Lord, these grandsons under the Gu clan are freezing to death one and one is missing, why should we meddle with things!" The mad lion on the right side of the chariot muttered. His words represent the voices of most of the bereaved high-level people, and they don't want their Holy Lord to waste good things and cheap the lackeys of the Gu Clan.
"You know what!"
Fang Xiaobao glanced at him, thought about it and gave an explanation, "In the eyes of the people of the mainland, our Xinghai is a demon cave, my Holy Lord is the Skeleton King, and you guys are all demons who eat people and don't spit out bones." ”
If the remnants of Xinghai want to have a better development space in the Chinese mainland, it is very important to win the hearts of the people. Giving a small favor in exchange for the gratitude of a group of Gu clan sergeants to promote Xinghai's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is worth it!
The mad lion understood and immediately gave a thumbs up to praise. Who expected to be preempted.
"The Holy Lord has a broad mind and a far-sighted vision, and the admiration of his subordinates is like a surging river, like a river overflowing out of control......"
Huang Yulang is worthy of being the originator of sycophants. pinching the right time to speak, the obscene appearance of flattery makes goosebumps fall to the ground.
Fang Xiaobao was in a good mood and smiled after hearing it. The mad lion was not happy, and rolled his strange eyes and shouted: "Fart, Lao Tzu is talking to the Holy Lord, what are you talking about!" ”
"That's a mistake!"
Huang Yulang shook his head and replied: "The Holy Lord does not hesitate to give advice, the big guy is taught, I have feelings in my heart and heartfelt words, how can I talk about the word interjection?" ”
"Don't come to the sour, believe it or not, Lao Tzu pinched your dog-day chicken and turtle!" The lion is on the move. This mad lion is famous for being unreasonable in the sea of stars, and it is easy for no one to provoke.
Huang Yulang was not afraid, he turned the car behind his fingers, and said with great brilliance: "I learned from Mr. Ma, if you want to pinch him, pinch him first!" ”
Who is Mr. Ma, the Holy Lord's most trusted right-hand man, and the third person in the Xinghai. No matter how crazy the lion is, he doesn't dare to argue with the other party. I can only pinch my nose and keep silent.
Unexpectedly, he was quiet here, but Ma Wenfang lifted the curtain and said hello. Not to trouble the Wild Lion, but to let him call the parking team.
The mad lion was a little confused. According to the instructions given by the Holy Lord, we hurried all night and tried to arrive in the Black Earth City early tomorrow morning.
"Lion King, I have something to report to the Holy Lord!"
Ma Wenfang didn't say much. The mad lion didn't think much of it after hearing this, and immediately followed this instruction.
The convoy soon stopped. Fang Xiaobao, who was resting in the car with his left and right hugging, noticed that the car had stopped moving forward, and immediately poked his head out and asked what was going on.
"Holy Lord!"
Ma Wenfang had already gotten out of the car, came to the car where Fang Xiaobao was, and whispered: "The route we are driving is a little off!" ”
From his mouth, Fang Xiaobao was sure of it, and looked at Ding Hui, who was leading the team not far in front and was drinking blood marrow wine, frowned and said, "This guy won't do it on purpose!" ”
Ma Wenfang smiled and said: "It's very simple, just call and ask!" ”
"Hmm!" Fang Xiaobao nodded. With a look, the ghost who accompanied him immediately harnessed the golden lion and ran over.
Blood-marrow wine is a good thing. It is made of blood essence extracted from the body of the star beast, plus many precious medicinal materials. In recent years, it has become popular in the imperial capital, and a pot is worth 10,000 gold, and it is extremely difficult to find.
Ding Hui didn't expect that he was lucky enough to taste such a treasure, and that Lord Weihai sent five pots at one time.
took a small sip, and the blood essence wine went down to his stomach, and immediately turned into a warm ocean air flow and swam in his body. The feeling of hunger and cold was suddenly dispelled, and the whole body was full of strength, and it was indescribably comfortable.
"Everyone takes a sip each, and the rest ...... Bring it back to the imperial capital and I'll deal with it, and the money will be divided equally! ”
The number of people in the driving team is not large, only about 30 people. Except for Ding Hui, the envoy, the rest were all sergeants. He is very good at being a man and has a flexible mind, and when he put forward his own proposal, he immediately received the support of his subordinates.
"This time it's going to be a big deal!"
In the final analysis, being an official is to seek wealth. Although Ding Hui has a bottom line, he will not want the money sent to the door, on the contrary, he is very excited. Just as he was thinking about returning to the imperial capital and what to do with the remaining blood marrow wine, a young man riding a golden lion arrived.
"You, follow me to the Holy Lord!"
The person who came was a ghost. Also because of his talent into the fourth form, he was able to control the appearance of alienation, and now he has a terrifying face like a green ghost, and has turned into a very lean looking teenager.
"Okay, good, the next official will be here soon!"
I don't know what that person is looking for, he just got a benefit, Ding Hui originally planned to go over to thank him. He beckoned his subordinates to stand by in place, and then followed Ah Ghost to Fang Xiaobao's car.
"Master Ding, is there a problem with the route you are taking?" Fang Xiaobao didn't talk nonsense, and asked bluntly.
"No, no problem!"
Ding Hui's tone was affirmative, and he also explained the route to Black Earth City in detail, "Let's go fifty miles to the north, and then go all the way to the south...... Walk about 300 miles to reach Black Earth City! ”
Ma Wenfang was beside him and asked lightly: "First to the north, then to the south, is there a bit of a detour?" ”
Ding Hui was stunned when he heard this. At this moment, he understood why he was called for questioning.
"It's a detour! But for the sake of safety, it makes the most sense! ”
Ding Hui first calmly accepted the detour, and then told the reason. I saw him pointing to the east, and said slowly: "Grandpa doesn't know, there has been an ant plague in Shanbei Province recently, and the wasteland disaster in front is the most serious, if we intersperse it, it is very likely that we will encounter a man-eating ant colony!" ”
Ant plague! Man-eating ants!
Fang Xiaobao became interested when he heard it, and hurriedly beckoned Ding Hui to make his words clear. From the latter's mouth, it was learned that just two or three months ago, a large group of mutant ants appeared in the territory of Shanbei Province, moving like the wind, gathering together to form an ant tide, the number of which was extremely huge, and all life forms in the place passed were extinct, including several villages were affected, and human livestock were wiped out, leaving no half of the population alive.
Ant tides even threaten cities, and Black Earth City is one of them. Fortunately, the imperial court learned of the disaster and sent a large number of people to exterminate it. But the ant colony is so large that it kills endlessly. In the end, there was no choice but to mobilize a large number of insect repellent herbs such as sulfur and lay a barrier along the site of the ant colony, so as to control the spread of the ant plague.
When Fang Xiaobao heard the cause and effect, he touched his mustache, smiled at Ding Hui and said, "Doesn't your imperial court have Tianyuan Mansion and have collected a large number of relics, can't you completely eliminate the ant colony?" ”
He playfully ridiculed, and Ding Hui smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Don't hide it from you, Grandpa, the imperial court did send Tianyuan Mansion strangers to participate in the extermination operation, but strangers are also people, even if they have strong talent and ability, they are helpless in the face of endless ants!" ”
"Idiot!"
Fang Xiaobao snorted. I don't know whether to scold the Gu court, or to take refuge in the remnants of Tianyuan Mansion. After thinking about it, he directly ordered Ding Hui, "Your people retreat, and replace my people in front of the way...... Lao Tzu still doesn't believe how much a group of ants can set off a storm! ”
"No!" Ding Hui heard the meaning of his words, and wanted to lead the team to go straight to the center of the ant plague, but his face immediately changed greatly, and he stopped it.
Fang Xiaobao didn't have a chance to tell this person the reason for his objection. With a direct wave, the Jinqi cavalry in front of him dispatched and drove Ding Hui's men to the rear of the convoy. Immediately all personnel were instructed to change course and proceed due east.
"Grandpa, you haven't seen ant colonies, you don't know how powerful they are...... One is not good, and all of us will suffer! Ding Hui was so anxious that he stomped his foot. He was so careful that he was afraid that there would be a situation, and who would expect that something would go wrong.
"Lord Ding, you can rest assured, with Lao Tzu here, I guarantee that even if you encounter an ant colony, you and your subordinates will not lose half a bird feather!"
Fang Xiaobao laughed. With a wave of their hand, the team began to turn and continue to march.
