Chapter Ninety-Two: Unknown Cooperation
It seems that after several years of fighting against the army of corpses, the rear of the battle line at this time has become much safer. In the past, when walking through the unnamed forest, you always had to be scared. As you walk, you may suddenly see one or two beast corpses pop out, or a large area of scalp-tingling walking corpses appear.
And now, You Duwei and his entourage of nearly 400 people are passing through the old official road with great fanfare, and they don't even see the shadow of a corpse monster.
It wasn't until they got out of the unnamed forest that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. I only heard Yuan Hu line up and said stupidly: "I've been walking for many days, and I haven't met a single! But now, I can't even see the shadow of half a corpse, which is really unpleasant......"
When the Dongguo guard platoon beside him heard this, he couldn't help but slap the back of the former's head with a palm: "You crow's mouth, can't you say something auspicious? There are so many brothers here, be careful to see Ling Duling later, I will be the first to denounce you and disturb the morale of the army!"
Yuan Liwei was slapped coldly by Dong Guo Yan, as if he was unhappy, his eyes immediately widened, and he shouted loudly: "What's the matter! We are so idle that we are uncomfortable, can't we talk about it? Since Brother Dongguo is so free to talk to us, come and come! Why don't you get off the horse now, let's warm up first!"
When the latter heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared, and without saying a word, he was about to jump off the horse. Lin Hupai's head hurt, and he was about to step forward to pull away this pair of happy enemies. But listening to You Duwei, who was walking in the middle, he coughed lightly: "Have you two made enough trouble? In front of so many people, don't you take Bendu Wei in your eyes?!"
Seeing that Du Wei had spoken, the two hurriedly swallowed this breath and hurriedly shouted: "The subordinates don't dare!", so they stopped messing around.
After a while, I only heard Dongguo Yan say to the former: "Du Wei, I said that I came all the way, I'm afraid it's too quiet." My subordinates have been jumping on their left eyelid for the past two days, and they always feel that something is about to happen recently. If you want me to say, when you are about to travel, should you count the hexagram?"
Before Master You could speak, Yuan Hupai beside him couldn't help but laugh "poof": "The left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster, don't you understand? I didn't think that at this moment, I still believed this thing! You said me just now, aren't you afraid that what you say now is disturbing the morale of the army?"
The former waved his hand at him impatiently and said, "Go, go! Besides, it's not unreasonable. If you think about it, for the past few years, the army of corpses has been rushing lifelessly into various defensive battle circles, but now all of a sudden, it stops! We always feel that they are blinding us, playing some tricks in the dark?"
At this time, Master You, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, slowly opened his eyes. Said slowly: "Actually, what Brother Dongguo said is not unreasonable, but things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and no one can predict what will happen in the next moment."
We just need to do our part, no matter what tricks they play, the soldiers will block the water. As long as you don't mess up, you can solve any problem. ”
When Yuan Hupai heard this, he grinned: "Look, all comfort is all comfort, and even saying a word makes people have to be convinced! Unlike some people, they don't speak through the brain......" After speaking, he glanced at Dongguo Hupai a few times intentionally or unintentionally.
When the latter heard this, how could he not know that the former was clearly referring to Sang and scolding Huai. Immediately raised his eyebrows, and the gesture had to be with his theory.
Seeing this, Lin Hupai on the side hurriedly stood up again and played a round game: "Okay, okay, you two." If you have to divide the high and low things, when you reach the destination, you will face the Qiandu River alone, and say happily for three days and three nights, no one will stop you! But everyone is still in a hurry, don't delay the process......
In this way, the group was grinding their mouths, and I don't know how long it took, and suddenly their eyes opened up. It turned out to be the highest point that could be seen in the vicinity.
Master You raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but saw that in the far distance, a wide river meandered and serpentine, extending to the end of the line of sight. At this time, by the river, you can still vaguely see a lot of troops stationed, tents and people and horses abound.
"Comfort, we're here. Ling Duling is in front, let's go say hello first?" Lin Hua on the side arched his hand towards Master You and said.
On the other hand, the latter only nodded lightly and replied: "It looks like I haven't seen you for a few months, Ling Duling's side, it seems that everything is too peaceful, so it's fine." I'll go with the three of you to report first, I'm afraid you're all tired after so many days of traveling. The rest of the people and horses, let them follow slowly, and when they arrive, they will rest on their own, waiting for my arrangement. ”
By the Qiandu River, in an inconspicuous tent, there was a person holding a tea bowl at this time, carefully studying the marching array in front of him. Take a closer look - this person is Ling Xiaolan's father: Master Ling.
Watching Ling Commander, not much has changed. It's just that he has been stationed on the front line for a long time, and he has become a little unkempt, with a scruffy beard, and people are much haggard.
He held the tea bowl and seemed to be fascinated, and did not move for a long time. After a while, a master opened the curtain and broke in: "Governor, You Du is here, you are outside at the moment!"
His thoughts were disturbed for a moment, and Master Ling raised his head when he heard this, staring at the man with bloodshot eyes, and he was stunned for a while. However, there was a joy on his face, and he hurriedly said: "You Du Wei Ke is really at the right time!
After a while, I saw several masters rushing in from outside the tent. As soon as the former entered the door, Ling Douling hurriedly gave you a seat: "You Duwei, you are here, sit down! It just so happens that Ling has something to discuss with everyone." ”
Master You didn't excuse himself, pulled over the stool by himself, and sat down. Hearing this, he replied: "I haven't seen you for a few months, how can the governor be so haggard? Isn't the food in the barracks bad? It just so happens that the subordinate brothers hit a few pheasants on the way, and I will bring one to you later to make up for your body, haha......"
After listening to the former's words, Ling Duling also smiled: "That's very good, haha...... However, don't let the Ram Overseer know about this, or he will be unhappy. When everyone heard this, they all cried out in confusion: "The Ram Governor?"
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, the latter slowly explained. It turned out that half a month ago, he noticed that the corpse monster army on the other side of the Qiandu River was moving differently. And the defensive circle led by Ling Du of Bihai City is the weak point of the entire front.
Li Xuanli, the son of Hezhen Kingdom, learned of this news, and in order to prevent trouble, he discussed with Liang Mingdi, the city lord of Bihai City, and installed the Ram Governor into Ling Commander's camp. Due to the rush of the troop deployment, except for the person concerned, no one else knew about it for the time being.
"In this way, there are two overseers on this side to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of it. The area from Reed Bay to River Temple, which you are going to next, is a crucial place. The river is narrow and the current is not very fast.
According to the information fed back by the detective master, the group of corpse monsters on the other side of the bank has been active frequently recently, which is very suspicious. So, just in case, this time there was an extra force stationed there. ”
This ram leader is the heir of the ram who came to Bihai City in person four years ago and invited Liang Mingdi to Jinzao City to attend the meeting. This person acts above board, treats people politely, and has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and is not annoying. It's not a bad thing to be able to come to help Ling Douling this time.
But in the final analysis, this is just a little friendship between the people on the top. When the two militaries suddenly come into contact and are not one regime or one country, there will inevitably be some differences in people-to-people exchanges and living habits.
Sometimes, on the surface, it seems calm. But if the people at the bottom accidentally violate the principle of the partners under the same roof, it is likely to provoke even greater contradictions, which is extremely detrimental to the present form.
What Ling Duling said to You Duwei just now actually wanted to express that when you are with the people of the Ram Overseer, try not to talk too much. Master You is also a smart person, and he doesn't need the other party to say it explicitly, so he knows what he means.
He nodded and said, "We understand what the governor means, and I will restrain my subordinates: what to say and what to do." It will never cause chaos to everyone, and the governor can rest assured. ”
As if thinking of something, the latter immediately asked seriously: "I heard what the governor said just now, and it seems that there is another Du Wei in this reed bay, who has been stationed there in advance?" Can you please tell me who this person is?"
When the former heard this, he replied: "Oh, this person is Du Wei, who was directly transferred by the lord of Anhua City, surnamed Guan, and he also brought about three hundred masters. But some time ago, due to the lack of people in the garrison department of Anhua City, many of his people went back one after another.
In fact, the defense from Reed Bay to the River Temple has become relatively empty. Ling has been worrying about this matter for the past two days, but he didn't expect You Duwei to come so soon, but it's really timely rain......"
After listening to his words, Master You and the others couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts. The former pondered for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "Which one is comforting?"
When Master Ling heard this, he asked in a strange tone: "How many more Guan Dufu can there be in Anhua City?" Of course, it's Guan Chenxuan Guan Master!"
At the moment, You Duwei and a few escorts, you look at me, I look at you, and they all smile bitterly. I didn't expect this world to be so small that other people couldn't touch it, so it was comforting for them to meet this level!
When Master You and his entourage went to Anhua City, the group of people they met in Sifang Mountain, who claimed to be Guan Duwei's subordinates, thought to be Guan Chenxuan's people. Because of the other party's disrespectful and arrogant words, he almost fought with You Duwei and his party.
Since then, Liang Zi has been concluded. It's just that I didn't expect them to come into contact again so soon. What's even worse is that they have to guard the customs together!
Seeing the bad looks on their faces, Master Ling seemed to be aware of it, so he asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, do you still know this Guan Duwei?"
When Master You heard this, he waved his hand and smiled: "No, it's just that I've heard of the former from time to time." We've had contact before, so it's not a friendship......"
After a pause, he got up and saluted the former: "Governor, since the current situation is urgent, we won't rub it in." In order to prevent long nights and dreams, his subordinates immediately took these three hundred and seventy masters to Reed Bay, and asked the governor to give instructions!" ......
Before leaving, Master Ling sent the four of them to the door, and said: "You Duwei, Reed Bay is still hundreds of miles away from here, you should be careful all the way!
You are a vital line of defense, but don't make any trouble for us at this critical moment! When the war subsides, let's go back to Bihai City, and we must have a good drink!"
The two patted each other's shoulders, and there was something unspoken. But Master Ling's last words were words.
Thinking about it, he also noticed some clues in Master You's every move, but it was difficult to say it clearly. At that moment, Master You arched his hand towards him, and left quickly with the three escorts.
As he walked, Lin Hua even whispered softly in Master You's ear: "Du Wei, this is not good! Don't hold a grudge and secretly play some little tricks on us!"
On the other hand, Master You didn't show anything on his face, but only analyzed lightly: "It's just the kid named Hu Junze who has a conflict with us." If you want to come to this Guan Chenxuan, the master is comforted, I'm afraid I'm not so stingy!
Besides, he has been staying in Reed Bay all along, and he may not know what happened in Sifang Mountain. Let's not have a bad relationship with him first, let's just see people talk about people, and talk about ghosts. After a month, the task is completed, and we will go back to Bihai City, and we have nothing to do with it......"
When the three platoons heard this, they thought about it carefully, and they also felt that it made sense, so they stopped talking about it.
As soon as the subordinates of the master of You Duwei arrived at the camp, they all tied their horses and rested. After a few days of non-stop driving, I was already tired enough. It's just that not long after I sat down, I saw Du Wei and the three escorts coming over.
I saw Lin Hupai clapping his hands and shouting loudly: "Master of You Duwei, get up quickly, get up! While it's still dark, let's hurry for a while." Although it has made you work hard, but the situation is tense, I hope you will be considerate! When you arrive at the destination, you will let you rest enough!"
When the masters heard this, although they were extremely reluctant, they didn't dare to disobey the military order, so they hurriedly got up and began to pack up their things. After a while, the team was fully equipped, and under the leadership of You Duwei, they went upstream along the Qiandu River.
