The spring breeze is steep, and the warm sun is rising.

Out of the first month, the earth warmed up, the snow melted on the official road, people trampled on horses, and the mud was unbearable.

Between the hills and mountain roads, caravans struggled to move forward, pennants fluttered, wheels jolted in mud puddles, and mules and horses neighed.

"This dog's road..."

The leader of the guard scolded secretly, shook the reins, rode his horse to the center of the team, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Bawangdu before dark, and I guess I'm going to walk at night." ”

For caravans, the last thing you want is to walk at night.

Mountain bandits, water thieves, lonely ghosts, spirits and wild demons... You can touch anything, and if you're not careful, you'll die in a different place.

"I can't help it..."

The shopkeeper's face was bitter and sighed helplessly, "The imperial court family has stabilized prices, and food prices have plummeted, if you don't think about it, my whole family will have to go to the street to ask for food." ”

The guard snorted coldly: "The imperial court has won the hearts of the people, and the people praise us, who will care if we live or die." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The world is impermanent, that's it." ”

"Let's go, there was a locust plague in Zhangzhou last year, and there was a shortage of food, and the Tuoba family had to stabilize prices, so the sooner it was shipped over, it would be less lost."

The leader of the guard pursed his lips and stopped complaining.

Suddenly, his scalp tingled, and he turned his head reluctantly.

Kacha Rub!

In the dense forest on the left, a behemoth wrapped in snow and mud crushed trees along the way, swooping down on them.

It's a bucket-thick, more than three feet of mountain python!

"Good brute!"

Seeing this, the commander of the guard was not surprised, and jumped up from his horse with a cold snort, swishing two darts in his left hand in mid-air, and at the same time drawing the long knife behind him.

The dart was not ordinary, the body of the dart was engraved with a charm, the tail was woven by human hair, and there was a strong fishy smell.

Come out to mix, how can you not have two hands?

With two pops, the python's eyes burst, and soon black poisonous blood flowed out.

The leader of the guards sneered in his heart, his own talisman dart is very vicious, and the monks dare not take it hard, just a basilisk, and he will die.

But it's better to be safe, chop off the snake's head, and sell the rest of the skin and bones, which is also considered an entry.

As his mind turned, the sword in his hand flashed and went straight down.

Burst!

The long knife was driven into the head of the mountain python.

But what shocked him was that this mountain python was vicious in its body, and the long knife stabbed down, and even the brain slurry splashed out, but it was not affected at all, and the snake tail roared.

There was a loud bang, and the leader of the guards didn't have time to dodge, and rolled to the ground spurting blood.

His limbs twitched, his chest was sunken, and he couldn't live anymore.

The others had already raised their bows to defend themselves, and when they saw this scene, they hurriedly retreated, their eyes full of horror.

At the same time, the mountain python also broke free, and with a long knife nailed to its head, it circled towards them.

The mud was ticking all over the body, and everyone saw clearly that there was a black beetle crawling on the back of the mountain python, and the dense insect limbs pierced into the mountain python ridge.

"Devil Worm!"

The people were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

This kind of insect monster, the carapace is comparable to the black copper, the only weakness is in the abdomen, and it can parasitize demon beasts, unless the skin and flesh of the mountain python are peeled off, it is difficult to kill.

Ding Ding Ding!

Some people panicked and flew arrows, but unfortunately they landed on the ghost worm, and they only sparked and were bounced away.

"My life is at stake..."

The shopkeeper of the caravan was even weaker in his feet, and he tripped over the dead vines and fell to the ground, and when he saw the fierce thing rushing straight forward, he was so frightened that he hurriedly rolled and dodged.

Chirp!

At this moment, the sky roared loudly.

The ghost worm snake possessed the giant python, and suddenly stiffened.

Everyone in the caravan also felt their ears roaring and dizzy, and they saw a white shadow falling, and the wind sounded with their wings.

It is a huge white wither, with feathers like snow, sharp claws like gold, and majestic.

Poof!

With a shake of the white wither's head, he easily pecked the ghost worm's head, didn't know what to swallow, and then tore it with his claws, cut the giant python open, took out a trembling snake gall, raised his head and swallowed it.

"Old... Old demon. ”

The caravan's minds went blank.

The ghost worm looked old and became a spirit at a glance, but it was easily killed by this white wither, which is the existence they can deal with.

However, the white wither ignored them, flapped his wings into the air, and soon disappeared.

The shopkeeper came back to his senses for a long time, and his face turned pale and he said sharply: "Quick, go quickly!" ”

"Wait! Cremate Commander Lee, and bring the corpse of the snake-skinned ghost worm..."

After some hectic commotion, the crowd moved on.

Turning over the mountains, I suddenly saw a big river, the waves were turbulent, like a long snake passing through the mountains.

"Shopkeeper, look!"

One of the guards pointed to the river.

I saw that on the river, more than a dozen warships were riding the wind, their flags fluttering, and the slightest scorn rose up, merging into blood-colored clouds and mist in the air.

Along the way, birds and beasts flew away, and the mountains and forests were silent.

Looking at the big banner with the word "king" flying fiercely on the central warship, the shopkeeper suddenly realized, "It turned out to be him." ”

"It's General Bingzhou Wang."

Many young people in the caravan suddenly stood on tiptoe and watched, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Look at what, look!"

The shopkeeper angrily reprimanded: "Those big people have a fart relationship with us, this mountain forest is not safe, take advantage of the army just past, hurry up!" ”

——————————————

In the cabin of the warship, sandalwood is faint.

Tu Su Ziming looked at the information in his hand, and his face was a little bad: "My lord, the news of the various armies has been inquired. ”

"Wei Chilong's side, the Great Seal of the Zhenlong Army with the magic weapon can indeed deter the dragon's blood backlash, and now their prestige is soaring, and they will hold a martial arts conference in Liangzhou next month, inviting all the heroes to join the Zhenlong Army..."

"It's the same with Sima Wei's side, Gen Long Dayin has the ability to escape to the ground, widely publishes heroic posts, and all kinds of people who are good at mechanism secret arts, all of them are running to Huaizhou..."

"The momentum of the Kunlong Army is even more impressive, Diyuanmen has announced its full support, and now he is still staying in the Shendu, every day the door is like a city..."

"The other armies are like this, the government army has overdrawn the potential of Dayan, so they will set their sights on the rivers and lakes, my lord, we are one step behind."

After that, he stared straight at Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan pondered for a moment, "It's really not a small momentum, Brother Tu Su, there is always a comparison in everything, if we want to fight, what advantages do we have." ”

Tu Su Ziming shook his head and said: "In terms of resources, my four states are all in the middle and lower, and in terms of strength, the Qianlong Army has not even equipped the magic weapon array, and it has no advantage, so I am afraid it will not be able to compete." ”

"If you can't fight, then why worry."

Wang Xuan's face was calm, and he took a sip of the teacup, "The soldiers are not wide, and if the Qianlong Army wants to occupy a place in the gluttonous army, it must be able to do what others can't." ”

"I'm saying that our strength is really not comparable to others, so it's better to streamline the soldiers and horses and concentrate resources to build a strong army."

"Streamline?!"

Tu Su Ziming smiled bitterly: "My lord, I have few people in Sizhou, if it is streamlined, I am afraid that no one will even listen to it in the future." ”

As he spoke, he hesitated, "My lord, please forgive my subordinates for speaking out. Although the two lieutenants Gu and Liu are good people, they are not alone behind them, the southern expedition is a matter of future chance, if you can't control the situation, I'm afraid the Qianlong army will fall apart. ”

"And my Tu Su family, Ancestor Lie has promised to relax the control of the poor Qi army, and there will be other families on top of the next one, and Shancheng can only run the government army with all its might."

"Ziyuan has written several times to inquire about it, and he wants to know what the foundation of the Qianlong Army is to prepare for it."

He didn't say it too explicitly, but he was clearly under a lot of pressure.

"Is it so urgent?"

Wang Xuan sneered in his heart, but he was not surprised.

The gluttonous military relationship with the great cause of the unification of the human race also brings hope to each family, especially after the royal family took away the rights of the border army.

Tu Su Ziming was a little helpless, "Don't blame me, my wife and children have moved to Taikang City, which has caused controversy among the clan, if this matter is not handled well, it is estimated that it will be replaced by others." The same is true of the two captains of Guliu. ”

Wang Xuan was silent for a moment, then smiled dumbly, "In this case, I will give you a reassurance, do you know what I got in the Treasure Pavilion?" ”

Tu Su Ziming was stunned, "My lord, did you get the military map?" ”

After the school sacrifice, although everyone was surprised by the Qianlong Great Seal's magical powers, there was no surprise.

The alternation of light and darkness seems to be mysterious, but to put it bluntly, it is also a kind of military formation retreat.

The Night Avatar is similar to the Assassin's Shadow Technique, but with a larger range, allowing the Legion to conceal its aura and sneak through the night.

Daylight supernatural power is a kind of self-protection, somewhat similar to a heavy lamp, within the light, the demon witch spell will be restricted.

Of course, the power of these two supernatural powers will continue to increase with the number of people in the military formation, and it is still up to you to kill the enemy.

In comparison, whether it is the Lilong Army Fire Seal, the Kanlong Army Watermark, or the Zhenlong Army Thunder Seal, they can directly increase their combat power.

And Zhang Yan has the ability of the Xun Dragon Seal to stir up the wind and clouds, and Sima Wei has obtained the art of retreat, which can also strengthen the power of his own army.

It seems mysterious, but it is not outstanding.

Of course, if the army gathers in the future, a large number of evil qi will gather, so that the entire battlefield will fall into the dark night, the enemy will not be able to see it, and the Qianlong army will wantonly kill it, which is also a big advantage.

On the day of the sacrifice, Wang Xuan went to the Royal Secret Cave Zangzhen Mansion, but he didn't say anything about what he got when he came back.

Now mentioning it, Tu Su Ziming can't help but be curious.

"Definitely."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "It's also a coincidence, I wanted to keep it secret, but this thing costs a lot of money, and your cooperation is indispensable." ”

As he spoke, a leather scroll suddenly appeared in his hand, about half a person high, layered on top of each other, covered with mold spots and insect eyes.

Tu Su Ziming was stunned, "What is this?" ”

Wang Xuan didn't speak, put the leather scroll to the ground, and slowly opened it, only to see that it was densely packed with various runes and mechanism structures, but the lake was full of wear and tear, and the outline of a big ship could be vaguely seen.

Tu Su Ziming glanced at it a few times, and when he saw a row of handwriting on the side, Tong Kong suddenly shrank and said in a lost voice: "The Heaven Survey Army Treasure Ship Refining Diagram." ”

"That's right."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, "After the Great Chu Rebellion, this thing has long been lost, but I didn't want to be treasured by the Great Wei royal family, but unfortunately it has been damaged and cannot be restored, which is also one of the reasons why the Sky Survey Army cannot be rebuilt, and it was taken out by me with the True Order of the Pavilion." ”

"If we concentrate our resources to get one or two ships and cooperate with the Yong'an Mansion military tactics, we can become a sharp weapon on the battlefield."

"But the drawings have been damaged..."

Tu Su Ziming suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and said thoughtfully: "My lord wants to use those blood on the ancient battlefield of Kanyuan Mountain to recover?" ”

Wang Xuan nodded and admitted, "That's right." ”

How can he have this ability, it is nothing more than to use the Heavenly Dao to deduce the disk, but he always has to find an excuse.

Of course, Tu Su Ziming was not so good, and his eyes were a little helpless, "My lord, this picture is so badly damaged, there are so many refining masters in the royal family, I guess I didn't bother to think about it..."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said: "I already have a plan in my heart, this is also the foundation of the Qianlong Army, you can know this matter alone, and you can't leak it in advance, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"You go and tell them that if you can trust Wang, you will streamline the army and collect resources according to my law, and if you can't believe it, you will throw yourself into other armies, and Wang will not stop you."

Tu Su Ziming took a deep breath and said, "Yes, my lord, I will change my route and go to Bozhou in person." ”

With that, he led the people to the shore in a small boat, and then rode his horse and disappeared into the vast mountains.

Tu Suzi tied his net worth and life to Wang Xuan tomorrow morning, knowing that the only thing he could do at this time was to stabilize the forces of all parties.

Looking at Tu Su Ziming's departing figure, Wang Xuan stood on the deck and was silent.

He had something else on his mind.

The deduction of the new exercises can not end until the rain, although for the type of alchemy, the speed of the Heavenly Dao deduction disk is faster, but this Heaven Survey Treasure Ship is obviously not ordinary, and I don't know how long it will take.

Therefore, after he came out, he gave an order to each family, which was to concentrate the army in the state, sweep all the way, end the matter of clearing the wasteland as soon as possible, and select elite soldiers and horses while accumulating resources.

Xiao Zhongmou had already left ahead of schedule and returned to Bingzhou to personally preside over the matter.

The reason why Wang Xuan was so stubborn and had to get out of the Heaven Survey Treasure Ship was because of the various information collected before the Four Seas Gate.

From the analysis of intelligence, the Southern Jin Dynasty is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.

"Hey, where did Brother Tu Su go?"

Uncle Yang Guo took off from another ship and asked curiously.

Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, diverted the topic and asked, "It's just military affairs, Uncle Guo, how is the communication on the Tuoba family's side?" ”

"It's already been said."

Uncle Yang Guo said with a smile: "I begged the emperor to get an order from the military department, and the Tuoba family will also send someone to lead the way, but I want to trouble General Wang to accompany me." ”

Wang Xuan's face was calm, "It's okay, it's just a way." ”

What they said was naturally going to the Hall of Eternal Life.

First, he has promised Uncle Yang Guo, and secondly, he has come to Bawangdu, the border between Zhangzhou and Xuanzhou, and he can enter by turning around.

Besides, in addition to establishing the Qianlong Army this year, his remaining two plans are to go to the Ten Thousand Dragon Caves and the Phantom Star Sea respectively.

One is to find geomagnetic dragon crystals to accumulate foundation for the battle of the Southern Expedition.

One is to find the "Treasure of the Stars" array stone and plan for yourself.

There are six instruments to distinguish the topography of mountains and rivers, and the protection of the divine light of ten thousand tribulations, these forbidden places that everyone hears and change, and they also have the ability to break through...
