The rain has stopped, and from a distance, the fire in Majiaji is still burning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
With the horse, the speed of the Xuanbao people is much faster. They didn't go with the gang that dominated the world, but left first!
After galloping wildly for nearly an hour, when it was completely dark, the people tied up their horses in the roadside grove and rested for the night.
It is estimated that if the people from the flying thief village want to rush back, it will not be possible in half a month. It only rained for one day, but the rain was very heavy, and the original potholed road was even more muddy and difficult to walk, and the silver car was so heavy, it was not easy to transport it to Feilu Mountain!
Now the north of Ziyu Mountain has been flooded, and it has rained heavily in the south, and the entire trade route has been difficult to walk, and it should be regarded as a disaster year for this year's sea trade!
There is a wet grass underfoot, and it is not very wise to camp in such a place, but there is no way, there is no village in front of the village, there is no shop behind it, there are no mountains and no tombs, and it is only a night on the side of the road.
Fortunately, there are a lot of trees on the side of the road, so it is not too difficult to fall asleep by cutting some branches and drying them over a fire to make firewood and dry the surrounding moisture.
In the morning, the pyre went out of its own accord, and the thick dew woke everyone up, and sneezing came and went. didn't rush to leave, Xiao Yin first asked everyone to take out the clean iron pot brought from Ma Jiaji, boiled two large pots of herbs slowly, and let everyone drink it while they could.
This is a medicine to prevent wind and cold, and after drinking it, everyone sweats profusely, and their whole body is much lighter, and then they start to continue walking.
It was still a little overcast, but it didn't rain. Now they rode two horses, one under his crotch and the other tied to his back. In this way, the replacement of the middle does not stop, and at sunset, the mountain is already close at hand!
"Emperor, I don't think we need to enter the city anymore!" Ning Hualong rode up to Xuanbao's side and said to him, "Now that the local government has rewarded us with silver, Yuezhou is a big city, so naturally it will not be an exception!
If you don't go into the city, it will also save some time, but everyone is in such a state that they really need to take a good rest, and it is not suitable to cross the river overnight!
"I'm afraid that the brothers won't be able to hold on!" Xuan Bao said the worry in his heart. Ma Jiaji battle, everyone almost collapsed, and did not sleep well last night, if you can live in the inn, take a bath comfortably, and then sleep beautifully, so that you can recover your physical strength as soon as possible!
Ning Hualong smiled slightly, looked at the brothers beside him, and said to Xuan Bao: "Emperor Zun, do you think our brothers are still as weak as they were when they first came out of Sword City?
The sky was overcast and the atmosphere felt oppressive. There was no sound but the sound of horses' hooves! Everyone's eyes were fixed on the front, and even the mustache who had just picked up a life was pale and rode on his horse without saying a word! And the blood stains on his chest had stained a large area of his clothes red!
They have really changed! The transformation from head to toe is like a completely different person! Even Hai Yiping, who has always liked to talk and laugh, pursed his lips at this moment and said nothing!
There is a temperament on these people that they did not have before, and people dare not approach them! This is a murderous aura! A murderous aura that a real soldier can only possess after going through the test of life and death, blood and fire!
When they came out of Sword City, there were more than one hundred and ten brothers, they were all elite warriors selected from the 100,000 Dragon Army, young and vibrant!
They experienced two full months of pursuit by the monkeys, escaped death under the flood, and then crossed the three peaks of Yushan Mountain and broke through the defense line of the bandits!
Nearly 70 brothers fell on this road forever! Watching the corpses of those 20 brothers burn in Majiaji, tears of grief flowed from everyone's face!
However, this is the last time they shed tears! In the future, no matter how great the difficulties they encounter or how powerful the enemy is, they will not shed any more tears.
These fifty people will be the soul and pillar of the Huilong Army in the future! Xuanbao saw the hope of the Huilong Army from their bodies, and what this army brings to the entire Xuanjun will be a great surprise!
Therefore, these fifty people can no longer be sacrificed! If they want to retain their strength and avoid the risks they may encounter, then they can't enter Yuezhou City!
"Rush to the riverside overnight!" Ye Xiaoxuan gave the order to march, no one complained, only a simple response: "Yes!"
The sky has completely darkened, there is wind on the river, and it is not small, standing on the riverside, the waves crash on the shore, the momentum is magnificent.
As soon as he heard that he was going to cross the river overnight, the old boatman's hand waved as if it was broken, and said to Hai Yiping: "Little brother, the river is not crossed at night, this is the old rule, you can't help but listen!"
The Panlong River is in the section from Lanyue City to Yueshan, which is called the Turtle River, which should be because of the reason for the mythical beast of the Kiss. Since ancient times, the river has never been crossed at night, because this section of the waterway is windy at night, and it is easy to capsize!
Now that it was already sun, everyone rushed to the riverside non-stop, and those who wanted to cross the river overnight could not imagine that the old boatman was unwilling to say anything, and he didn't want to do any amount of silver!
There was no way, the old boatman didn't agree, and the others wouldn't nod, because he was the head of the boatmen in this area. But if you think about it, the old rules are also to protect everyone's lives, and they don't deliberately make things difficult, so Xuanbao also ordered everyone to rent a boat by the river to rest, and set off at dawn tomorrow!
In autumn, the river is like a child who has grown to seven or eight years old, and it is the time for naughty mischief! Even at night, the wind and water are howling, and people can't sleep restlessly.
Xuan Bao didn't sleep, he was sitting on the bow of the boat at the moment, the boat was swaying with the wind and waves, but he was like a mast on it, and the whole ship was already integrated, calm as a mountain.
On the other side is Jiangnan, where most of his brothers are located! I haven't heard from them for months, but it can be seen from the actions of the Iron Twelve that they have taken the copper city!
On this side of Jiangnan, once the copper city is taken, the rest will not be afraid! The general of Longnan City Defense led his troops to escape, this is already an empty city, and there is no need to attack it at all!
The Yin army in other places is too scattered, and the three cities around Baitou Mountain in the central area have been controlled by the Xuan army, and the area south of the Yangtze River is basically completely the territory of the Xuan army!
It is estimated that Xianyang is now clearing all the towns in the entire Jiangnan area, completely letting the Xuan army control every place!
At the beginning, Xuanbao once said that to conquer Jiangnan, it was necessary to make a truce first! Not only did the Yin army need to rest, but the Xuan army needed it even more!
Now it seems that this decision is very wise! Now the situation in Jiangbei is even more chaotic than in Jiangnan, Xuanbao originally wanted to ride the red rainbow and flowing clouds to Kyoto to have a look, but after thinking about it, forget it!
The distance is too far, and the red rainbow flowing clouds can not go back, and it is not beautiful to delay tomorrow's trip. What's more, this is the world of the Yin army, the territory of Yuezhou City, if he leaves, once the brothers fight with the Yin army, it will be troublesome!
800,000 Yin army and 700,000 Heran army in the Kyoto area, in terms of troops, it is evenly matched, from the battlefield point of view, the Yin army also has a geographical advantage, as long as it is not deliberately given up, this battle Yin Hu will not lose!
However, there is no news of the start of the big war so far, and even these captains who support the boat don't know, so it is difficult for Xuanbao to guess Yinhu's original intention!
What did he want to do? Why did he keep shrinking and not fighting? Could it be that he wanted to deliberately let the Xuan army cross the river and let the Xuan army deal with the Helan army, and he would pick up the advantage next to him?
If Yinhu really thinks like this, he is really too shameless! And the gambling book is too big! Isn't he afraid that the Xuanjun army will not be able to enter his side?
In fact, Xuanbao really won't bother with him! Yes, Xuanjun's main destination is indeed Kyoto, but it is not in a hurry!
From the Styx to the capture of Jiangnan, the Xuan army has been fighting, and it has not been well rested, and now it has finally come to an end, and the Xuan army will not rush over so impatiently to touch its own head!
It doesn't matter if the Helan people want to rush back, Kyoto must be taken, and the real purpose of Yinhu's 800,000 army is to use it against the Helan people or to deal with their Xuan army, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that the Central Plains must be unified, and the people will be happy!
However, the rhythm of the battle is still in the hands of Xuanjun himself, and he will not be swayed by Yinhu, so Xuanbao is not in a hurry, and Xuanjun is not in a hurry!
"Whoa!" the river was lapping against the rocks on the shore, and the boat was swaying with the waves.
There was another sound of vomiting coming from the cabin next door, and Xuan Bao now felt that it was a stupid decision to let the brothers sleep on the ship!
These brothers are all natives of the north, and it is okay for them to cross the mountains and mountains, but when they get on the boat, it is like going to the sky, and they don't even know where their heads and feet are in the clouds!
"Whoosh!" A black shadow jumped over the bow of the ship not far away, and the movement was so fast that even Xuan Bao felt that he was dazzled!
But the red pupil can't be mistaken, the one just now was indeed someone on another boat, and that boat was also a chartered boat!
Could it be that the captain here has already told the defenders of Yuezhou the whereabouts of his gang?
Xuan Bao calmed his mind down, his divine sense spread out, and he didn't feel an army coming, and he didn't even have any abnormal aura!
Is it really my own delusion? or... Xuan Bao's eyes were fixed on the water under the boat, only when he came from the water could he hide the breath on his body, and his divine sense would not be easy to catch!
Do you want to tell the brothers? Xuanbao thought about it, but still held back, after all, this is just speculation, whether there is anyone in the water, he can't say, if not, wouldn't it disturb everyone's rest?
These ships are all passenger ships and can accommodate twenty people, and Xuan Bao has chartered five large ships, in addition to carrying people, but also horses!
Xuanbao fixed the rope on the bow of the boat, and then sank into the river along the rope, feeling the surge of the surrounding river, the red pupils shining in the dim river water, getting redder and redder, looking from a distance, it was like two flames burning in the water!
There was no human figure, no human breath, and no army came under the water, that is, my guess just now was wrong!
Maybe I've been too tired lately, I've been dazzled, there's nothing at all, it's all my own delusion!
Xuan Bao climbed onto the boat along the cable, and as soon as he got up, there was a "poof" sound not far away, as if someone had jumped into the water!
