Chapter Seventy-Eight: Strange Situation
When the lords of the country heard this, their faces immediately changed slightly. Ji Wuyun said: "Bo Mi, we came through Nalutai Mountain this time. It's just that I can't imagine that you have secretly dug so many hidden mountain roads behind our backs, and you don't tell us. It's ridiculous that everyone is a member of the Great Xia clan, and they should be of one heart and one mind, so it really shouldn't be!"
Ji Gengjin took the lead and smiled: "Lord Dantong, don't forget, you have lived in the Western Regions with peace of mind all these years, and you can't think about it, where do you remember the mission of reviving Great Xia?"
Ji Tianmu, Ji Wu and the others all changed color, and said, "The second marquis's words are inappropriate. In recent years, the cold country has raised swordsmen, fought everywhere, and the arrogance is monstrous, and no tribe in the great wilderness can match it. If we weren't for Taoguang and Obscurity, how could we accumulate strength and wait until the arrival of the young master?"
Ji Gengjin wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by Bo Mi: "Don't be presumptuous to the lords of the countries." Then he said, "Everyone, don't dwell on these old things. In the past, everything was forced by the situation, but now that the young master is coming, revival is just around the corner, we should share the same hatred and hatred, and we must not dislike each other. ”
The lords of the kingdom snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Feng Yi thought secretly when he heard this: "These lords are not easy to mess with, and now they are united just to fight against a strong enemy." In the future, if the Han Kingdom is really defeated, I am afraid that no one will be able to subdue them at that time. For a while, he couldn't help but be worried, and then thought of the strength of the Han country, which has millions of soldiers, including the Central Plains and Jiuli, and hundreds of tribes surrendering outside. Feng Yi had mixed feelings in his heart, and he only felt that defeating these demons might not be something that could be done overnight.
When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Bo Mi say: "Young master, in your opinion, which way should we go?"
Feng Yi came back to his senses when he heard this, and carefully calculated in his heart, these three mountains are all steep and towering, and it is difficult for birds to cross. Moreover, there are three big rivers under the mountain, namely the Chishui of Huangren Mountain, the Xiliang River of Lutai Mountain and the Liusha River of Tiandi Mountain. There are many fierce beasts on the banks of the Chishui River, not only bears and tigers, but also the legendary dragon-headed monsters, and the quicksand river is thousands of miles long, up to 800 miles wide, the goose feathers in the river are difficult to float, and the reeds will sink, and once they fall into it, they can't even find the corpse. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Great Xia Army will not use these two military routes.
However, when the Kunwu Kingdom opened up the three military roads, it also thought that once the Han Kingdom launched a large army to come, in case Lutai Mountain could not hold it, it would destroy this road, and then rely on the Chishui and Liusha River to block the enemy and retain the last strength.
Seeing Feng Yi, the lords of all the countries hesitated, thinking that he was not familiar with the road, and couldn't help but say: "Young master, we will go to Lutai Mountain when we come, and five thousand soldiers have been arranged in the mountain to respond. Those cold country demons will catch up at any time, what are we hesitating about?"
Feng Yi was shocked when he heard this: "Lutai Mountain, where did you leave when you came?"
Seeing his appearance, Ji Gengjin was surprised: "Young master, is there anything wrong?"
Feng Yi shook his head, but he felt a little strange in his heart. Then I remembered what Yun Zhongjun said about the Eye of Heaven, this Penglai Immortal cultivated the Heavenly Spirit, if he guessed correctly, even the Qiantian Divine Ding was in his hands. If he could really see everything under the sky, wouldn't the marching route of the Great Xia Army be all exposed under his nose?
If this is really the case, then the road of Lutai Mountain must not be taken. But...... All of this was Feng Yi's speculation, and if Yun Zhongjun had known about it, why didn't he send an army to ambush in advance......? He didn't really do things for Yu Hanxun? In that case, how could there be any guarantee that he would make a move this time?
After these few months, Feng Yi felt more and more that the Han Kingdom was unfathomable, far from being matched by the current Great Xia Alliance. And since he is the young master, he must not let his brothers be in danger.
Feng Yi thought for a moment, and in order not to panic everyone, he still said, "There is nothing wrong with it." It's just that we came to Lutai Mountain, and it is inevitable to leave a trail of marching. In case the Han Kingdom sent scouts to investigate here, it may have sent a large army to ambush in front of it now. ”
When the lords of the kingdom heard this, they all looked incredulous. That day, the lord of Qi Country said worriedly: "I have also thought of this. But the army of the Han Kingdom had just been defeated, how could it be possible to fly seven or eight hundred miles so quickly to Lutai Mountain?"
Ji Wuyun also said: "This king also thinks so. Young master, you must have been through many battles and are a little tired, so you are suspicious in your heart. ”
Ji Gengjin said unhappily: "King Dantong, the most important thing in the so-called marching war is to anticipate the enemy's opportunity and ensure that nothing goes wrong. What the young master is thinking about now is not impossible, so it's better for us to be careful. ”
Ji Wuyi snorted coldly and stopped talking.
After a while, Feng Yi said: "Since everyone has a dispute, why don't we send a hundred soldiers with strong wind resistance skills to investigate?"
Ji Wuyi and the others said in unison: "This is very good!"
Ji Gengjin was ordered to go, selected three hundred soldiers, rode away on flying beasts, and soon disappeared in front of the army.
The army marched forward for dozens of miles, and found many Han country scouts along the way, riding huge dragon-winged beasts hovering in the air, looking exactly like a flock of birds from a distance. If it weren't for Feng Yi's heavy pupils, excellent eyesight, and constant vigilance on the road, I'm afraid that the whereabouts of the army would have been spied on by others. While everyone admired the young master's cultivation, their hearts gradually became frightened, and when they walked to the door, they hurriedly said: "Young master, if you delay any longer, I'm afraid that the army of the Cold Kingdom will come soon." We might as well speed up our march and march towards Lutai Mountain. ”
At this moment, not only him, but also the other lords of the countries also have the same idea, that is, the lord of Bo Mi actually has the same thoughts, but because of the face of the young master, he did not say it directly.
Feng Yi was helpless, and was about to give an order, when he suddenly noticed a strange breath in the air, and exclaimed, "Have you noticed something abnormal here?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
Feng Yi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly took out the water-avoiding sword on his waist, and drove his spirit into the sword, and the blade that was as thin as a cicada's wings suddenly shone with a scorching light. Ji Gengjin on the side hurriedly said, "Young master, what's wrong?"
Feng Yi looked down, but saw the water-avoiding sword flickering, so he said: "The water-avoiding divine sword was handed down to me by a god, even if it is a monstrous wave, as long as it touches its sword, it will retreat." So in normal times, the water sword will form a faint mist in the air. But there's nothing at the moment!"
Ji Wuyi laughed and said, "What did the young master of this royal road say, it turned out to be this." The young master may not be from the Western Regions and does not know the characteristics here. Although there are many snow-capped mountains and large rivers in the Western Regions, the air is unusually dry, not to mention mist, and sometimes it does not even rain for several years. That's why it was regarded as a barbarian land by the Central Plains, and the Han Kingdom came to attack a few times but didn't take it, so he simply gave up. If it is still like before our Great Xia Dynasty, occupying all the green waters and green mountains, then I am afraid that I will not be able to sit still. ”
Feng Yi thought secretly when he heard this: "Could it be that I am suspicious?" At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Everyone, the young master is not unfounded. It's so dry that it's a desert. If you don't leave, the consequences may be unimaginable. ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly turned around, and Ji Gengjin laughed: "Big brother, are you awake?"
The person who came was Ji Shisheng, he looked a little pale, his expression was not as powerful as before, but his steps were steady, his eyes were sharp, and he obviously didn't have to worry about his injuries.
Feng Yi was also overjoyed and said, "Lord Marquis, how do you feel?"
Ji Shisheng bowed and said, "Young Master Xie cares, and his subordinates are already fine." Then he said: "The dim light of my Water Heart Sword shows that there is a sharp shortage of water spirits here, and it is a hot place. ”
Bo Miqi said: "How can this be? This place is the place where the terrain of the three mountains converges, and the distance to Chishui, Xiliang River, and Liusha River is only 100 miles, and it should be full of water vapor." ”
Feng Yi frowned, and suddenly heard someone from behind him report: "Your Royal Highness, the army suddenly had a dry mouth when they arrived here, and the water bag they brought with them was about to be drunk. ”
When everyone heard this, they were amazed. When marching and fighting, sometimes the most important thing is not the number of people, but the water and food. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, and in this Western Regions, if it is not close to the big rivers, it is the water source that is the most important.
All the lords looked at Feng Yi and were silent, all of them were impressed by his amazing insight, and they did not dare to speak more.
Ji Gengjin said: "Young master, you have to find a water source quickly." You can go without food for three days, but you can't go without water for a day. ”
Feng Yi immediately made a decision and said: "Pass the order, there will be a big river in front of you for another hour, let the soldiers endure for a while." The messenger had a look of joy on his face, and was commanded to go. But everyone didn't know why, the young master didn't say the route of the march, but said that there was a big river ahead. But the Xiliang River, the nearest one in front, is also nearly a hundred miles.
Feng Yi said again: "Second Marquis, haven't the soldiers sent out before have come back yet?"
When Ji Gengjin heard this, he showed a worried look and said, "Young master, don't you say that I almost forgot, it stands to reason that I should have come back to report the news." ”
Feng Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone again, you don't need to fly too far this time, just look at the grassland and forests not far away." ”
Ji Gengjin said: "Yes, young master." ”
Feng Yi said: "The whole army continues to advance. Everyone suddenly received the order, and a hint of foreboding was shrouded in their hearts. Feng Yi was walking on horseback, and a strong wind hit behind him, and when he looked at it again, the eldest marquis was already by his side, and said, "Young master, according to me." It seems that there has been a natural disaster here, more than ten years ago, in the north of Kunwu country, there was also a huge meteor from the sky, burning a raging fire, stretching for hundreds of miles. Thankfully, it was in the middle of the wasteland, and even so, there was a great drought for several years, and all living beings died, like purgatory. ”
Feng Yi was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Great Marquis, are you saying that this place is very similar to what happened before?"
Ji Shisheng said: "Well, but it's also very strange, the meteors that fall that day are usually earth-shattering, and they can be seen vaguely thousands of miles away." But we didn't find anything out of the ordinary, which was weird. ”
When the two were discussing, the army had already moved forward for another twenty or thirty miles, and the water that the soldiers carried at any time had already been drunk, and they were all dry and depressed.
At that time, a team of scouts suddenly came to report: "Young Master Qiqi, the grasslands, forests, and rivers fifty miles away all seem to have been burned by fire, and the earth is scorched black with no end in sight, and I am afraid that it is impossible to find a water source." ”
