The whole lotus 'flower' crossing was like a New Year's holiday, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere, and people received the things that were snatched by those officers and soldiers from the barracks, and then knelt down in the street to thank the Xuanbao people.

The sixth did not escape punishment, and was beheaded with their boss, and the remaining soldiers had no leader, some were sent home, and some swore allegiance to the Xuan army and returned to the camp with the Xuan army.

They were originally soldiers, and some of them were forcibly conscripted into the army at a very young age, and they went through countless battles, but they were tired of fighting, and they were not really afraid of death, and they were 'bewitched' by others, so they ran away.

Many people have no relatives at home, and even if they have relatives, they can't open the pot, and letting them go back to their hometowns is equivalent to letting them go back and wait to starve to death, it is better to stay in the army!

There were more than 500 people left with 300 people, Hai Yiping reorganized these people, and everyone also collected the camp tents in the suburbs, moved to the military camp here, rested for a night, and set off early the next morning!

I thought I was going early, no one knew, but I didn't expect that when I passed through the street, those people were already standing on both sides of the long street, and they were sending off!

The people are the most simple people, as long as you don't bully them, as long as you give them a little benefit, they will pay you back exponentially!

When they saw Xuanbao's carriage coming, the people rushed over and loaded everything in their hands into the carriage! Corn, live chickens, chicken eggs, dried meat... It's all there!

The boiled 'chicken' eggs were stuffed into the pockets of those soldiers one by one, and these soldiers, who used to only rob and plunder, now cried like children, repenting of what they had done in the past, and moved by the current treatment!

A middle-aged man with a wrinkled face arched his hand and said to Xuanbao: "Lord Emperor, hurry up and cross the river! My home is in Yucheng, Jiangbei, and although it is not occupied by the Helan people, it is often disturbed by their 'commotions'! Even the local officers and soldiers not only failed to protect the people, but instead intensified their raiding of the people in the name of preparing for war and military supplies! Now the people of Yucheng are living a life that is not human at all! Emperor, let's fight Jiangbei as soon as possible, and when we see these good days of the people in Jiangnan, we are all looking forward to you crossing the river day and night! Lord Emperor, save the people of Jiangbei!"

The middle-aged man was already in tears, his knees were bent, he knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily to Xuanbao. Behind him, a few other people also knelt down, like a gust of wind, and everyone on the long street knelt on the ground, crying in their mouths: "Emperor, Emperor, Emperor!"

Xuan Bao stood beside the car, looking at these tearful people, if it wasn't for the unbearable persecution by the Yin army, how could they be so painful!

Originally, I wanted to repair for a while, so as not to let myself fall into the 'treacherous' scheme of Yinhu and Yuxuan, and compete with the Helan people and Hemeng, so that the Yin Dynasty would benefit. But now, Xuanbao has changed his original intention!

We can't gamble and squander the people's lives! Now that the people of Jiangbei are already living like a year, they can no longer wait, and they must let the army cross the river as soon as possible!

Rescuing the people is the most important thing, and this is also the most fundamental reason why Xuanbao is in the Styx Lake cavalry! Whether an individual suffers a loss or not cannot be compared with the well-being of the people!

"Xuanbao promises you, after pacifying Jiangnan, you will immediately wave your army to the north, destroy the Heran people, and defeat the Yin Dynasty army!"

"Destroy the Heran people! Defeat the Yin Dynasty army! Destroy the Hiran people! Defeat the Yin Dynasty army!" In the midst of the shouts of the people, Xuan Bao led everyone to leave the lotus 'flower' crossing and go to Longnan.

Now that there is a carriage, the conditions are several times better than those in Jiangbei, but the speed is not much faster, because many people are sick!

A third of the 50 Huilong soldiers lay down! It was not a serious illness, but diarrhea, lack of appetite, rashes, bloated stomachs, and so on.

This is a minor illness, and there is an ingots doctor next to it, so it will be fine if it is uncomfortable for a day or two, which is a process of adaptation.

Not to mention people, even the big insects have become ineffective after crossing the river, and there is no 'fine' picking. Now Xuanbao has come up with a good way to restrain it, and that is to set up a separate spatial barrier for itself!

Whether it is resting or on the move, Xuanbao has set up a spatial barrier for the big worm, which is another attempt by Xuanbao for the enchantment, that is, it is set up while moving!

In the past, the barrier was fixed in a certain place and could not be moved, and leaving this place was equivalent to breaking away from the barrier.

Now Xuanbao is trying to use the carriage as a carrier and set up an enchantment on it, and no matter where the carriage will be fetched, the enchantment will not disappear!

The benefits of this are self-evident, and more importantly, the smell of the big bugs is completely hidden, so that these horses no longer feel scared!

In the afternoon, Xiao Yin came out of the enchantment and said to Xuanbao: "You can't feed it dead 'meat', you have to give it some live creatures for it to hunt, otherwise it will turn the big insect into a big cat!"

Xuanbao tried to catch a few live rabbits and carried them into the enchantment, and sure enough, he saw the big worm staring at the rabbits scurrying around, his eyes radiated excitement, and then he roared and rushed forward!

From its vigorous posture, Xuan Bao figured out one thing, too much! For fear that the big insect would become a demonic beast, all the dead 'meat' it was fed these days, so the big insect became more and more lazy, and less and less 'spirited'.

However, it was originally a fierce beast, and it lived by preying on living creatures, and these dead 'meats' could not arouse its interest at all! As long as it hunted for survival, it would not become a demonic beast! Unless it was killed for the sake of killing, then it would be controlled by the demons in the heart!

It's already the second day of leaving the lotus 'flower' crossing, and I don't know how long it is from Longnan, after all, no one has walked this road, and there is no map to refer to, so I can only rely on the general direction to 'grope' and move forward, as long as I don't 'get lost'!

Although Jiangnan is a war zone, the big battles have stopped, but small battles still often occur, the remnants of the Yin Dynasty are not so easy to withdraw from their own territory, they hide in one place, from time to time to 'riot' and attack the towns occupied by the Xuan army!

There are also some deserters, who occupy the mountains as kings and grass as cowards, and often 'disturb' passers-by! Therefore, most of the area still looks very desolate. As a result, everyone didn't even have a way to ask, so they could only 'grope' and move forward!

After walking for two days in a row, Zhong Yong, who was in charge of exploring the way, came back dejected and said to Xuanbao: "Emperor, we have really 'lost' our way!"

I didn't want to admit it, but now I have to really face this embarrassing fact! In such a complicated environment in Jiangbei, no one has 'lost' their way, and when they get to their own territory in Jiangnan, they can't find a home! This is indeed shameful!

At this moment, it is already dusk, and everyone is in a barren meadow, and there are mountains in the distance, but if you want to walk through, it is estimated that it will take a day and a night!

Xuanbao simply let everyone camp here, there is water and grass here, but it is also an ideal place to camp.

The tents were set up, and the soldiers began to bury their stoves and cook. A few 'girl' children went to the small river next to them to catch fish, and Xuan Bao and the 'Yin' Snake King, Ning Hualong, and Ning Wujin climbed a high slope and looked at the surrounding environment.

Ning Hualong frowned and said, "It's strange, this piece of grass is 'fat' and the water is clear, and the terrain is not too rugged, how can there be no one to live in?

"Who said there was no one to live in, it's just dilapidated!" said the 'Yin' Snake King as he looked at some dark shadows in the distance, and judging from the appearance, there should be traces of a collapsed house.

Ning Wujin brought a few horses, and everyone got on the horses and ran towards that place, and when they arrived, they found that the 'Yin' Snake King guessed correctly, there were indeed people living here, these are the broken walls of the earthen houses left behind, but they have been crawled with wild grass!

Looking at the surrounding traces, the 'Yin' Snake King said to everyone: "This was originally a village, there were about 200 households, but I don't know why I moved away in a short time, and I didn't even take the pot!"

"I suspect that there is a plague, you see over there, there are many desolate graves in the direction of the mountain, there are so many graves in a village of more than 200 households, if it were not for an emergency disaster, this situation would not have happened!" Ning Hualong pointed to the desolate grave on the left and said to everyone.

Xuanbao ran over, looked at the dense graves in front of him, and roughly estimated that there were more than five hundred!

It seems that Ning Hualong's analysis is correct, there must have been a catastrophe here, otherwise it would not have become so desolate, either it would be war 'chaos' or plague! If the war 'chaos' is not brought by the Xuan army, because looking at these broken walls and the barren grass on the graves, they have been barren for at least three years!

Ning Wujin's face changed, and he looked at everyone and said, "It's broken, isn't there something wrong with that small river?"

The 'Yin' Snake King shook his head and said, "No, this village has not been here for a short time, and the houses are divided into old and new, which means that the water is no problem!"

Everyone looked at the desolation around them, and they all had a feeling of 'hairy' bones. There seems to be an evil aura here, and there seems to be a pair of 'yin' owl eyes, hiding in the shadows and looking at everyone with bad intentions!

"Go back!" Xuan Bao turned his head and said to Ning Wujin: "Take ten people as a sentry, two people in groups of four directions around the camp to guard, and the remaining two people will patrol in 'interspersed'!"

"Yes!" Ning Wujin was ordered to return to the camp first, and the others followed behind. Xuan Bao turned his head as he walked, looked at the desolate village, then looked around, and suddenly said to the 'Yin' Snake King and Ning Hualong, "Look at these grasses, do they look a little strange?"

The 'Yin' Snake King and Ning Hualong looked down at their feet, and both nodded. Ning Hualong said in a deep voice: "Such a large area of grassland, all of them are growing crookedly, and none of them are growing up normally, what's going on?"

"If the wind blows, it should be reversed in the same direction, so this is not the tuyere! Then, these grasses are pressed like this! But the grass roots are only bent, not broken, what can press the grass like this?" The 'Yin' Snake King frowned and looked at the grass on the ground strangely.

It was already dark, and Xuan Bao said to the two: "There is no time to choose a camp now, be careful at night, tonight maybe... Not very safe!"

This is a kind of intuition of Xuanbao, and his intuition has always been accurate. Although this place does not have the breath of evil spirits, it is very evil, which makes Xuanbao feel like danger is coming!

The three of them rode back, and as soon as they arrived at the camp, Xiao Yin ran over and said to Xuanbao: "Brother Xiaobao, look at the big worm, it's going crazy in the enchantment!"
