Mobile reading
"What, I miss someone" Situ also joked with Xiao Qiang, smiled, and then explained, "Liu Yunyan's battle camp is here to gild, so naturally he is going to the relatively safe western theater." Oh, by the way, she left you a letter and a package before. ”
As he spoke, Situ Yuan took out a package from the space belt, and then looked at Xiao Qiang with ambiguous eyes.
Xiao Qiang scolded Situ with a smile, took the package and put it into the space bracelet without looking at it, thinking of the warning that Dongfang Yu gave him before the expedition, he couldn't help but be a little worried.
The western theater where Liu Yunyan went refers to the Mangshan area in the north of the Canglong Principality, which is full of rugged mountains and hills, which are only suitable for small forces to infiltrate operations, and large-scale battles rarely break out.
The Eastern Theater of Operations, which is the Great Swamp area that Xiao Qiang is going to, is located eight hundred miles north of Beihai City, as long as the elite cavalry of Beiao can pass through the Great Swamp, after that, it will be a horse and a flat river, and it can directly hit Beihai City, so the big wars in previous years broke out in this war zone.
The duty of the Junzi Battalion is to guard an important checkpoint in the swamp area, there are at least a dozen of the same checkpoints, as long as the checkpoint is blocked, the army of Beiao will not be able to enter the plain area, so what awaits them will be the most tragic offensive and defensive battle.
If it was just a threat from the Northern Olympic army, what really worried Xiao Qiang was that someone stabbed him in the back
Everyone in the world thought that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess and Xiao Qiang were not dealing with each other, but this could not be concealed from one person, and that person was the eldest prince of the Jade Dragon Principality, Dongfang Guan.
The eldest prince Dongfang Guan designed to ambush Dongfang Yu twice, but he was destroyed by Xiao Qiang at a critical moment, in his eyes, Xiao Qiang and the third princess were all the way.
Although Dongfang Guan's military power has been weakened, his influence in the coalition army is still strong, and it is not something that Dongfang Yu can compete with, so Xiao Qiang went north this time, Dongfang Guan clearly can't deal with Xiao Qiang, and secretly he is likely to beat a sticky stick and stumble.
When he told Situ about the worries in his heart. Situ smiled and comforted: "Xiao Qiang, you can be content, in the past, you were the public enemy of the whole people, and anyone could pull a knife out of you, but now you know who your enemy is, this is progress."
Xiao Qiang smiled helplessly, he suddenly thought of the imprisoned dragon on Xuanli Island in the East China Sea. The east side of the Beihai Principality is the East China Sea, so I didn't go there after the war
Eighteen battalions of men. After seven days of trekking and two short rests, I finally came to Green Willow City.
Green Willow City is a military city, and it is also the last supply station to enter the Everglades District, after getting the supplies and baggage from Green Willow City, the 18th Battalion will go to their respective defense areas.
The 18th Road heroes camped in the camp, and the consul general sent by the Principality of Beihai ordered that the commanders of each battalion could only take a maximum of five people into the city to go through the formalities and extract military supplies.
Xiao Qiang ordered Situ and Cui Dameng. Zhibang Zhiguo liked the excitement and followed, the others were too lazy to move, what was so fun in a dilapidated small town, the fat man didn't want to move, but he was the quartermaster of the gentleman's battalion, so he had to follow.
The group inspected the token in front of the humble city gate and entered the city. Wander along the only street.
Green Willow City was originally a small border trade town, and the streets were deserted a lot with the imminent war, but there were still many desperate smugglers who poured the specialties of the North Olympic Federation and put them on the side of the street to sell.
When Xiao Qiang walked past a dilapidated antique stall. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and his steps stopped abruptly and walked towards the stall.
There were a lot of bottles and jars, and some bronzes, which looked like they had just been dug up from the graveyard and were covered in black mud. There was a smell of death.
The stall owner was a dark and thin little middle-aged man, he saw that Xiao Qiang and the others were wearing cultivation robes, and his bearing was extraordinary, knowing that he was a big customer, and he was nervous and expectant, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense for a while, his little eyes were rolling around, and he peeked at Xiao Qiang from time to time.
Xiao Qiang simply squatted down, picked up an antique from time to time, looked at it for a long time, and then put it down, and then picked up the second one.
Finally, the black and thin stall owner couldn't hold his breath anymore, and plucked up the courage to say: "This master, these treasures are all small ones from over there, and they were infected with mud when they crossed the swamp area, but they are actually good things."
Seeing that Xiao Qiang ignored him, the black and thin stall owner became more and more bottomless, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly began to wipe the mud on the antique with his sleeve.
"Don't move" Xiao Qiang suddenly spoke, frightening the stall owner to freeze there, and then carefully put the antique back.
Xiao Qiang didn't dare to determine which one it was, because the message sent to him by the machine spirit was already weak, he checked it again and again, and it was easy to have some eyebrows, how could it be possible to let the stall owner's breath interfere
After a long time, he finally locked on to the target and picked it up again.
This is a jade plate with a very shallow foundation, the texture is very ordinary, you can vaguely see the ancient patterns carved on the jade plate, the fly in the ointment is that the edge of the plate is broken a few gaps, which affects the overall beauty.
Xiao Qiang knew it in his heart, so he didn't look at it carefully, raised his eyes and looked at the black thin stall owner and asked, "I want this plate, how much is it?"
The stall owner couldn't help but be overjoyed, secretly pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Master, you should be considerate of the little one who risked killing his head to make these things over, a fixed price, a thousand gold coins"
"A broken plate dares to ask for a thousand gold coins, are you a hillbilly who has never seen the market" Situ couldn't help it, and said coldly.
The stall owner was almost about to cry, and said aggrievedly: "This master, the little one really doesn't lie to you, this thing is indeed a treasure, in order to pound it out, the two brothers of the little one put their lives into it."
Xiao Qiang was almost sure that this kid was a tomb robber, and he didn't break it, so he directly counted out two thousand gold coins from the spatial belt and handed them to the stall owner.
"Take it, if you don't do this business in the future, you should accumulate virtue for your children and grandchildren" Xiao Qiang said about the jade plate, stood up and was about to leave.
The black and thin stall owner held the heavy money bag, and his tears were about to fall with excitement, and he thanked him vigorously.
Xiao Qiang's heart suddenly moved, looked at the stall owner and said, "Are you familiar with the terrain of the swamp?"
The stall owner paused for a moment, nodded hurriedly, and said: "Master, I won't tell you, the small family is in the swampy area, if it weren't for the fact that the border has not been peaceful all these years and the livelihood has been cut off, the small one will not do this business, and he has taken a few lives in vain" As he spoke, the stall owner wiped a few handfuls of tears in pain.
"If you want to make money, follow us, we won't treat you badly. Xiao Qiang nodded and continued to move forward.
Situ saw that the black and thin man was still there in a daze, and said angrily: "Don't you understand, hurry up and deal with all these things, we need a guide, and the benefit fee is indispensable for you."
The thin black man woke up like a dream, hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and happily went to the antique store to dispose of his treasure at a low price.
He can see that the previous master was generous, and he didn't care about three melons and two dates at all, and he would definitely not suffer a loss if he followed this master
"Brother Qiang, someone is following us"
