Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Expedition
The next day, You Wuxian and Master got up early. Still packing up his things, Ji Xiaozi came to the door with a big bag and a small bag: "Master You, this is the military quartermaster that the kid bought according to the order yesterday, can you count it and see if there is anything missing?"
You Wuxian hurriedly took it, and listened to Master You's thanks: "It's really bothering you, you don't need to count, how few?" After saying that, he reached out and touched the silver tael.
Ji Xiaozi hurriedly stopped the former: "These are all trivial meanings, the master said, your life-saving grace, he can't pay it back in his life." Let you be free, and come to Anhua to find him. The master is waiting for you at any time!
By the way, the master also specially explained, you go back to Bihai City on this trip, and the way is not close. The boy has packed everything you need for the road. Also, please forgive me for not being able to deliver ...... in person."
At this point, Master You didn't know what to say. Ao Zhentian is so thoughtful, and his friends are like this, what more can he ask for?!
Knowing that his affairs are busy, he must have gone out earlier to do some business, and it doesn't hurt if he can't send them away. After the three of them finished cleaning up together, they just stepped out of the door, but they saw a petite figure, holding a package, standing timidly at the door.
It seems that Ao Minglian is here, waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw the three of them come out, he respectfully saluted the person in charge: "Master You, morning~"
After speaking, he pulled You Wuxian to the side. He smiled and said to the former: "Brother Wuxi, there is some early here, Lian'er asked Sister Ah Yue to make it specifically for you and Master You, please bring it." Also, in this package, you forgot to take the clothes with you the last time you left in a hurry. Lian'er has always kept it for you!"
With that, he handed the package forward. After hearing this, the latter couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that after so long, this little girl would keep those things.
But he only took the early and said: "Lian'er has a heart, so I don't want these things, give them to me now, and I won't be able to wear them." By the way, Lian'er, my brother is leaving now, Lian'er is at home, I have to listen to Ao Dangjia, you know?"
When the former heard this, he nodded seriously, but he still held on to the package. Seeing that he bit his lower lip lightly, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. On the other hand, the latter didn't seem to notice anything wrong, but said to Master You, "Master, let's go." ”
When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw Ao Minglian holding the package, and she was still following step by step. Ji Boy opened the door, and there was a squeaky sound.
At this time, the former finally couldn't help it, and even his voice changed: "Brother Wuxie, when you are free, you must remember to come back to see Lian'er! Lian'er has been waiting for you here all along...... Also, when you go out, you must be careful......" Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and ran away.
You Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly. And Master You on the side, after listening to Ao Minglian's words, seemed to have an understanding. With only complicated eyes, he looked at Xiao Nizi who was gradually moving away.
Then he couldn't help but sigh lightly and patted You Wuxian on the shoulder: "Let's go, when you go out in the future, don't talk to the girl." When Master is away, you have to concentrate on your practice, you know?"
You Wuxian looked at Master You with a confused look, and he didn't really understand what Master meant by this, but he still nodded seriously. In this way, Ji Xiaozi sent the two all the way to the south gate of Anhua City. I reluctantly said goodbye for a long time before I began to go home.
This is the place where Master You and his subordinates agreed to meet, although it was still early, but the others were almost there.
The masters are all carrying bulging bags on their backs, and it seems that this time it is going well, and the military supplies are all well equipped. When the last person arrived here, Master You confirmed the number of people and waited no longer. Then he waved his hand and ordered: "Go back to Bihai City!"
A group of fifty people, following You Duwei, swept out of the south gate of Anhua City. As soon as I turned north, I went in the direction of Bihai City. There was no word on the way, until it was almost dark on the third day, when they entered the west gate before the gate of the city of Bihai was closed.
After a night's rest, you have to prepare for the expedition. The weather was very good the next day, and You Wuxian did not go to the school to practice as usual. Instead, he climbed the city wall, and on top of the arrow tower, looked condescendingly out of the city.
Whenever Master has a mission and is about to go on an expedition, he always comes here to see him off, which is a habit that cannot be shaken by thunder. In addition to him today, there is one more person in the arrow tower, and that is Shen Tuliu.
With the deputy city lord personally supervising the whole army to set off, you can imagine how important the task of You Duwei is. I saw that in the open space outside the city, there were several phalanxes standing neatly, and when I counted them carefully, there were nearly 400 people.
Coupled with a horse by everyone's side, the team looked quite spectacular. The first person, proud of the crowd, high-spirited. Although this person's hair is a little gray, he has a majestic aura that is different from the others.
You Du stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes swept back and forth over the masters, and nodded secretly. It seems that these masters are ready. When they came back last night, they had already distributed all the munitions they had purchased. After resting for a night, everyone was in good spirits and ready to go.
At this moment, there are three people gathered around Youduwei. Two of them are Lin Huashi and Dong Guo Yan, who are both guards and his subordinates. There is also a person who is not very familiar, and if he wants to come, he is also following the escort platoon of You Duwei.
I saw that the first two reported something to Master You, and the latter smiled and nodded. Then he turned his head and asked the last man, "Yuan Hupai, are your subordinates ready?" If there is no problem, Ben Duwei will set off. ”
This person's name is "Yuan Liwei", don't look at the name of Wen Crepe, but he is a rough man. Looking at this person, he is in the prime of life, and his arms and legs are amazingly strong. The muscles up and down the body are knotted, if it weren't for his short stature, he would really have a fight with Shentu Liu.
After listening to Master You's question, he hurriedly hugged his fists: "If you go back to Du Wei, your subordinates are already ready! Just wait for your order, we can immediately jump into the livestock pile and kill it without leaving a piece ......of armor."
The sound was like thunder, which shook the ears of Master You and the others, buzzing. This guy was a little impatient, and the other three had long known his temper, and it was also funny to see him so impatient.
Master You hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt his words, and then turned around. He clasped his fists above the city wall and saluted: "The subordinates have been assembled, please give instructions to Deputy City Lord Shen!"
Hearing that the deputy city lord was about to give an order, the four hundred masters, all of them immediately lined up in formation, held their heads high, and stood still. Looking at the neat and tidy team of masters, Shen Tuliu sighed secretly: "What a group of mighty masters! You Duwei can really lead troops.
Then he cleared his throat and said loudly: "The purpose of this trip is already known to everyone, but this deputy still needs to be reiterated! Bihai City Tour is consoled with the order: From now on, lead more than 370 masters to march into the Qiandu River! Take over the defense line from Reed Bay along the river to the River Temple for 50 miles. And keep an eye on every move of the army of corpses. If there is any mistake that allows them to take advantage of the loophole, I will definitely ask you!"
Master You always maintained a posture of bowing his head, and after listening to the general's order, he hurriedly shouted, "Subordinates obey the order!" After Shen Tuliu finished the order, his tone immediately changed, and he said warmly to the former: "You Duwei, this trip is more than 2,000 miles, and the road is far away, I hope you take care of yourself! These brothers have followed you to fight in the south and north for many years. Only you are the most reassuring to us, but also remember to beware of capsizing in the gutter......
Although it is now a truce, Shen heard that recently, the army of corpse monsters on the other side of the Qiandu River is ready to move. You have to keep an eye on their movements at all times, and if you find anything wrong, report it to Commander Ling immediately, you know?"
Hearing the former's answer "understood", Shen Tuliu continued: "The duration of this trip is one month, if there is nothing to do, after one month, this vice president will send Kuang Duwei to take over. When you arrive, report to Ling Du Ling, and he will arrange what you should do. If you're ready, let's go!"
After hearing this, Master You led the order to retreat, mounted his horse, ran to the front of the team, and shouted: "Go!"
I only heard all the masters holding high the god-killing swords, and let out a uniform roar: "Defend Bihai City!", "Rather die than yield!", "Kill the corpse monster army!" After three sounds, Fang stepped on the horse with neat movements. followed You Duwei, stepped on the official road in an orderly manner, and left without dust......
The three military trumpets resounded through the heavens and the earth, and even the whole blue sea city could be heard clearly. The soldiers of the tour are famous for their elegance. Just these nearly 400 well-equipped masters, their combat power is against an army of thousands of beast corpses, and it is no problem. Just shouting a slogan is shocking, and you can hear the blood boiling on the city wall.
It's a pity that he hasn't broken his pulse at this time, so he can't go together, otherwise he will be sent to death. Some were stunned, staring at the direction where the master was gradually moving away, and fell into a trance. But he couldn't feel it coldly, and someone tapped him on the shoulder. Don't look over, just in time to see Shen Tuliu looking at him with a smile.
Shen Tu Liu's body was huge, and You Wuxian stood in front of him, estimated to be only enough for one leg of the former. This patted gently, although it deliberately lightened the force, but the slap fell on the latter's shoulder, and I saw that he couldn't help but stick out his tongue......
Shen Tuliu laughed playfully: "What's the matter, boy, you are worried about your master?"
The latter breathed a sigh of relief and did not hide it, so he nodded and replied: "Yes, every time the master goes on an expedition, the kid is worried. I'm afraid that this will be the last time to see him off~
But every time I see his team, marching to the front line with great vigor and high spirits, I feel extremely proud! Uncle Shen, let me ask a question, on the battlefield, are people not afraid of death? I feel that when the fellow masters are fighting against the corpse monsters, they all seem to have an indescribable force supporting themselves!
Shen Tuliu looked at You Wuxian with approving eyes, and said slowly: "This power is 'faith', and there are many kinds of faith: family can become your faith, and lovers can become your faith." Even the innocent people in a city and all over the world...... When you have a bond in your heart and know how to fight for your faith, when it comes to the critical moment, you will burst out with incredible power!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Tuliu seems to be a reckless man, but he can still say such a big truth. You Wuxian understood at this moment, so he nodded vigorously. Continue to tilt your head and look in the direction Master left.
Shen Tu Liu stretched out his hand and touched the huge kamikaze crossbow beside him, and also looked at You Wuxi's gaze. He personally sent so many masters to the battlefield, but he watched his good brothers die on the battlefield and never came back...... As soon as I thought of this, Lao Tzu's heart should panic!"
"Don't worry, kid, your master is calm and calm, and on the battlefield, he knows how to adapt to changes. can turn evil into good fortune every time, but it is really impressive.
No, there is still Master Ling left behind on the front line, how many of them are together, what else can they do? However, after a few months of ceasefire, those animals have not moved for a long time. I'm worried about whether they are secretly plotting something......"
As soon as he said this, You Wuxian remembered Master Ling. He was on the front line, I'm afraid he stayed for a year or two and didn't come back. I've been dealing with those animals, and I can't even see my own daughter. Now that Ling Xiaolan has broken her pulse, she can't be surprised when her father comes back to see it.
was thinking about things, but Shen Tuliu beside him spoke coldly, interrupting his thoughts: "Boy, do you know why Uncle Shi made a special trip to see you off?" "I don't know, Uncle Shi, please speak!" "Because there is another task that is specially assigned to you!" "I?!"
Speaking of this, You Wuxian was immediately stunned: "What task was given to me?" Shen Tuliu smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, and listen to Uncle Shi slowly tell you~ You are not the only one on this trip, because the task is a little dangerous, so I also refused at first."
But when I think about it, you have been practicing for so long in Bihai City. Besides, there are so many masters with me, so I want to take this opportunity to let you see it, which will be helpful to you. But before that, Uncle Shi will ask you first: Do you want to go?"
Unexpectedly, Uncle Shen actually sold Guan Zi at this moment, and he said that You Wuxian was itching in his heart. Almost without thinking about it, he replied, "Of course I went......! I don't know what the task is, so don't sell it! Tell it to the boy!"
Shen Tuliu grabbed him by the neck, and the two figures stumbled down the city wall. I only listened to the former's words slowly drift away: "Recently, I heard that there are beast corpses in the unnamed forest. You know, in the vast forest, there are occasionally three or two fish that have escaped the pursuit of the masters, and they are still hiding there.
But this time, it was not just one or two that were discovered, but more. They hide deep in the woods and occasionally come out to attack passing teams, which is very troublesome.
Recently, Bihai City has been short of manpower, but letting those animals go alone will be a disaster after all. Uncle Shi has discussed with the military advisor, and the master of your generation has more or less broken pulse. One person should be able to deal with a beast corpse. I just thought, just let you deal with it.
Although you haven't broken the vein yet, seeing that you are talented, it must not be too difficult to deal with a mere beast corpse. The person who took the lead this time was the boy of Huan Gong, and there were thirty or forty masters who had just debuted.
Taking advantage of Youdu's absence, this time I will let you go out to practice. But if your master comes back, don't tell him, or he won't complain about me......
