The team set off overnight, with the bright moonlight, the speed of travel was not much slower than during the day, Yan Rongrong was already a little dazed at this time because he did not rest last night, and almost fell off the horse several times.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhiyi drove his horse to Yan Rongrong's side, "Miss Yan, seeing that you are so sleepy, do you want to tell you a refreshing story?" ”

"Refreshment?" Yan Rongrong was a little suspicious.

Zhao Zhiyi nodded, revealing a harmless smile from humans and animals, and then slowly spoke:

"It is said that this incident happened in the palace, and the concubines in the harem always kill the palace maids and eunuchs because of a trivial matter on weekdays. There is a palace maid in the queen's palace, named Wanjun, who is very delicate and beautiful, one day His Majesty the Emperor came to the queen's bedroom, and happened to see this palace maid, so he praised her in person, but he didn't expect Wanjun to disappear mysteriously the next day, and Ouchi didn't find it for a long time. ”

"Do you still need to check, you must have been killed."

"Miss Yan is really smart, because His Majesty praised the palace maid, which made the queen dissatisfied, so she ordered her eunuchs to strangle Wanjun to death, and then buried it in the back garden. Oddly enough, since then, the queen has been having nightmares night after night. ”

When Zhao Zhiyi said this, he deliberately lowered his voice, and under the reflection of the moonlight, his face was extremely pale, which made Yan Rongrong on the side swallow and spit nervously.

"Seven days later, that is, the first seven days of Wanjun, guess what?"

"What's wrong?" At this time, not only Yan Rongrong, but Yan Shaohai on the side also came over.

Zhao Zhiyi glanced at the two of them, and continued to lower his voice: "Wanjun appeared on the queen's bed, covered with mud, and slept face-to-face with the queen's mother for one night. ”

"Ahh Zhao Zhiyi slapped Yan Shaohai on the shoulder with his big hand, Yan Shaohai, a seven-foot man, was so frightened that he screamed, and Yan Rongrong on the side was frightened by this sudden scream, and then looked at Yan Shaohai angrily.

"It's a shame for a big man to be scared like this by a ghost story!" Then he rode forward, ignoring the two behind him.

Yan Shaohai patted his chest and looked at Zhao Zhiyi with a resentful face.

After Zhao Zhiyi's trouble, not only Yan Rongrong was in spirit, but Yan Shaohai was also in spirit.

The group hurried and hurried, and finally reached the edge of the desert at noon the next day.

Yan Shaohai ordered the troops to rest and prepare plenty of water, after all, it is not so easy to find a water source in the desert. There happens to be a huge lake here, and there are flocks of wild birds drinking water and preying around the lake, Zhao Zhihuan and the Yan family brothers and sisters are a little tired after rushing all night, and they have dismounted and washed their faces by the lake.

"Brother Yan, how far is this place from Hamiwei?"

"It's not far away, you should be able to arrive before dark, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, it's winter now, at night, the desert can be dripping into ice, Brother Zhao must prepare for the cold in advance."

"Okay, thanks for the reminder."

After Zhao Zhihuan finished speaking, he glanced at Yan Rongrong on the side, his white fox fur was still with her, and he never returned it to him, and it was inconvenient for him to ask her if she wanted to go back, and she was destined to freeze tonight.

An hour later, the team was ready, and under the leadership of Yan Shaohai, they entered the desert.

Soon after entering the desert, Zhao Zhihuan felt the change in temperature. At this time, it was winter, but the temperature in the desert was like summer, and the sweat on his body soon began to rain, and suddenly the whole person felt hot and stuffy, and Zhao Zhihuan could only take off the robe outside.

The others are no better, Yan Shaohai on the side is almost shirtless, Yan Rongrong's girl's house is inconvenient, she just took off her armor, but she has already seen sweat on her head.

Walking in the arid desert, the water loss is extremely large, and everyone needs to replenish some water from time to time, thanks to Yan Shaohai's prior arrangement, so as not to endure thirst.

After a whole difficult afternoon, 20,000 horses finally saw the Hamiwei in front, although the heart had already been prepared, but when everyone saw the flag planted on the wall from a distance, from the dynasty military flag to the North Turkistan military flag, the heart could not help but feel a sense of loss, it seems that the Hamiwei has been lost.

"Looks like there's no food or wine tonight." Yan Shaohai sighed calmly.

He chose a relatively flat place to set up camp, and then ordered the two scouts from before to investigate, while the 20,000 horsemen began to make a fire and cook.

"Brother Yan, what do you say they are trying to occupy here?"

Yan Shaohai shook his head, there is nothing to ask for here, the food and water sources in the guard post are not enough for 30,000 cavalry to come to the road, is it not possible to bury gold under the guard post?

"I don't know, let's see what the scout has to say."

But there was still no trace of the two scouts, and Yan Shaohai at this time felt faintly bad: "Zhang An, Zhao Li, you two go and see what's going on." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, two other scouts were also dispatched, and for safety reasons, this time the two chose to walk instead of riding horses.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two men returned from a distance, one of them supported by the other.

"What's going on?" Yan Shaohai recognized the two of them at a glance, unlike when he went out just now, at this moment one of them was holding an arrow in his shoulder.

"General, there is a sharpshooter standing at the head of the other city, the previous two have been shot dead with people and horses, just now we deliberately lowered our bodies or were seen by the other party, only one arrow hit Zhao Li's shoulder, if we escape late, I am afraid that there will be no return."

"Okay, I know, hurry up and help him down to heal."

Yan Shaohai has been fighting with Beitu for so many years, and he has never heard of such a person, he is very clear about the ability of his subordinates, the camouflage and speed are first-class, and sometimes even the other party is not aware of the enemy.

But now he only ordered them to observe at a distance of 100 meters, they will be killed and injured, the most surprising thing for him is not the opponent's eyesight, but the opponent's archery, a hit at a distance of 100 meters, not only needs a very high accuracy, the bow must also be a strong bow, otherwise it will be easily dodged because of the lack of speed.

"Brother Zhao, what do you think?"

Yan Shaohai felt more and more powerless in this war, the other party's actions were beyond his expectations again and again, and when he subconsciously asked Zhao Zhiyi on the side, he found that the other party had long been gone.

"What do you think? Go up to their walls, of course! In the distance, Zhao Zhiyi's melodious voice came.
