Chapter 284: Old Friends
"Hoofs trampling... Hoof..."
Thousands of military horses, straight like sweeping the ground and soaring, spread out in a huge fan-shaped, and in the sound of the wind and whistle, they swirled to dozens of miles away from the red outer city.
In an instant, the thousands of beasts of this spirit beast army have passed through the clear and mirror-like grassland, and under the guidance of the forward guides, they rolled to the entrance of the middle section of the outer avenue.
Here is a low-lying valley boundary, at a glance the terrain is really open and gentle, there are lofty mountains on both sides, the peaks are abrupt, but such a valley is left, so that the moat instantly becomes a thoroughfare.
As if it had opened the way for the fierce confrontation between those who had conquered the war, it would not be long before the smoke would rise here, witnessing that the peaceful lifestyle of the Red Kingdom for many years would be completely changed by the arrival of the spirit beast army led by Cinnabar!
Cinnabar raised his eyes and looked forward, and on the vast horizon, the outer city of Chiguo had almost faintly appeared.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, in the villages near the edge of the city, there were even a few curling smokes rising, and I did not feel the solemn atmosphere of the enemy army facing the city.
"I can't imagine that the defenders in this Red Country City are so calm!"
While Cinnabar was amazed, a question suddenly arose in his heart: Could it be that the Terran Sect of the Divine Domain also sent an envoy to come here?
Just as they were imagining, the army of spirit beasts had successfully arrived in the area ten miles away from the outer city, and the sight of the soldiers could already clearly see the figure of the defenders standing on the outer city wall of Chiwai!
For the sake of prudence, and not to let the other party wait for work and catch himself off guard, Cinnabar immediately made a decision, the whole army camped on the spot, and sent several small sentry troops to collect information about the enemy!
He will no longer lead the army forward, nor will he take the initiative to provoke, but settle the army first, so as not to expose the relevant military intentions. It was only Zhu Sha himself who led several loyal lieutenants to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss the next siege plan.
......
What no one expected was that just as the entire spirit beast army was encamped, another inconspicuous corner immediately sounded.
At the outer edge of the city wall of the Chi Kingdom, in a peasant village, the farmhouse with cooking smoke in it opened with the "creak" of the wooden door, and a sleek young man with a disheveled clothes and a trivial face was holding the grass in his mouth, and his head was bared in great surprise!
"Oh yes, don't say it, this army of spirit beasts is coming so fast!"
A lot of joy suddenly rose on his face, and he put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, while muttering to himself with some excitement: "My little junior brother of cinnabar, are you in this army of spirit beasts? I haven't seen you for many years, but you really miss me!"
While muttering to himself, he was at a loss because of excessive excitement, and even said in a panic: "Oh, since he has arrived, what am I waiting for, naturally I should hurry up and meet him!"
At this moment, a crisp female voice came from inside the room: "What are you doing in such a hurry! Since your junior brother has already arrived, he won't be able to run away for a while, so let's eat and go again!"
"Women, what do you know!"
When the slick young man heard the woman's words, his face immediately turned pale, and he sneered: "Our senior brothers have been separated for many years, and we are all worried about each other, and we can't wait to have wings on our backs, and we will be in front of you in a moment!
"Also, now that they are in the city, and a great war is about to break out, if I don't inform them of my full plan sooner, who will be able to take on this responsibility in case of any delay?"
The white-faced oily young man said more and more righteously: "I can't imagine that you have been following me for so long, and you still can't understand my thoughts, it's really disappointing!"
"That's it, am I wrong?" said in a crisp female voice: "You have a lot of adults, you might as well let me go this time." ”
She even said with a courteous tone in her tone: "Since you are in a hurry to see him, I will no longer stop you, I will go and bring the mount here!"
"That's pretty much it, let's go quickly!But be careful, that skinny donkey is hungry for a few meals!" the oily young man snorted coldly, and let out a series of triumphant laughs!
Just after hearing the woman's footsteps fade away, he even put an evil smile on the corner of his lips, and whispered:
"Am I not stupid? If I see my junior brother Cinnabar, I won't be entertained with good food and wine, how can I be willing to eat your leftover cold rice here!"
......
"Report to the general! There is a messenger in the city of Chiguo!"
A herald half-knelt on the ground, pressed his forehand to the ground and said loudly: "There is a young man in white outside, claiming to be a messenger from the Red Country, asking to meet you, my lord!"
"Oh, the messenger?" Cinnabar frowned slightly, and his heart was also uncertain.
Now that the thousands of soldiers on both sides have been put on the table, it can be described as murderous, and the next thing is inevitable is a bloody battle, at this moment, how can the other party send a messenger to come?
"Is there only one person from the other party here, right? The courage is not small, is there such a person who is not afraid of life and death in the Red Country City today?" said Cinnabar with admiration in his tone.
It is true that it is a person, but the subordinates do not seem to look like a national envoy from their pretense and demeanor, and even the shabby pomp. ”
The herald raised his head, as if hesitating about something, and after a moment finally resolutely said, "The other party is not on horseback. Not in a sedan chair, but on a skinny donkey!"
"What, riding a donkey?" Cinnabar immediately said with some tears and laughter: "It's just a master who acts and has an unpredictable style, but isn't he a young man?"
"That's it, you might as well call him in!"
Cinnabar pondered for a moment, but still waved his hand and ordered: "I also want to see what kind of person the other party is, who dares to behave so unscrupulously in front of our army of tens of thousands of spirit beasts?"
The sergeant sergeant let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied, "Yes!" and turned and rushed to report.
It didn't take long for a very hearty laugh to come from outside the tent of the Chinese military camp, and the door of the tent was lifted and a young man who was smiling and groaning walked directly.
The young man's white face was beardless, and his expression was even more obscene, and his slender body had not yet fully entered, and he was already shouting loudly:
"Hehe, it's really you, Senior Brother Cinnabar, let's meet again!"
Cinnabar was originally facing away from the gate of the tent, whispering with several lieutenants, but now when he heard such a familiar voice from this person, his body almost shook on the spot, and his face suddenly became a lot dull as if he had been struck by lightning.
He turned around a little abruptly and turned his gaze on the visitor.
Almost instantly, he even felt a little like a dream, as if he was drunk, and exclaimed with joy in his mouth:
"Oh my God, my eyes are not wrong! Senior Brother Baishan, what, how could it be you?"
