Lord Wang, according to the route of the march, cross this avenue, and there will be people from mountain villages, and then they will supply the army with drinking water." Xiao Wuji replied.

5,000 soldiers, although there are many people, but these mountains and rocks and plants piled up in the middle of the road, there is no end in sight, plus some huge stones are horizontal, these soldiers have spent a lot of physical strength to clear a mile of distance.

Although it was a cold winter, they were already sweating.

Seeing the water bags around their waists gradually dry up, and the soldiers' lips began to dry under the howling north wind, they gradually slowed down, constantly moistening their lips with their tongues.

Seeing this, the pioneer officer became anxious, he returned to the Chinese army, and said to Nangong Mountain:

"Lord Wang, look at these five thousand soldiers, the water on their waists has been drunk, and there is no way to go on like this."

"Waste." Nangong Shan shouted angrily: "Five thousand people, it is so difficult for you to clear a road out?"

The vanguard officer's face was full of bitterness, and he arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, the sergeants can go a day without food, but they can't go a day without water, and their mouths are thirsty, which has greatly affected their mobility."

At this time, Lin Tianchong stepped forward immediately and said, "Since Commander Xiao said that the two forks belong to the same road, why don't we pick one path at random, even if we move forward, in the end, it must be the same path."

"No." Nangong Shan decisively refused.

"What if this is the enemy's scheme? They just wanted us to take a narrow path, and then set up an ambush and attacked us along the way."

"But my lord, this road is smooth as far as the eye can see, and there is no place to set up an ambush such as mountains and jungles." Lin Tianchong continued.

"Not necessarily." Mo Fugui also came out and said, "The Thousand Cities Pavilion is full of tricks, they must have a reason to separate the avenues. I'm still saying that, anyway, we can't go wrong with them."

Just after receiving Nangong Shan's appreciation, Mo Fugui almost thought that he was resourceful and kept expressing his opinions.

"Fugui is reasonable, vanguard officer, pass on my military order, and gather the rest of the water among the generals to the five thousand soldiers, and quickly clear the avenue." Nangong Shan ordered.

"Yes!" Helplessly, the pioneer officer could only do so.

Affirmed by Nangong Mountain again, Mo Fugui raised his head with a smug look.

Xiao Wuji on the side didn't speak, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

The boulders lying in the middle were naturally done by Zhao Qiancheng, even if Xiao Wuji and Lin Tianchong wanted to move them by themselves, they would have to spend a lot of true yuan, which was a big taboo for them.

When they were marching, it was impossible for them to spend their strength on such a thing as opening the road, and the two of them had to protect Nangong Mountain closely, so they couldn't do it.

And so, two or three hours passed.

The water on everyone's waists was drunk again, and even Nangong Mountain was not much left.

He licked his thirsty lips and glanced at the sunset above his head, his heart gradually irritable.

"Report!"

A report from the pioneer officer came from the avenue.

"What?" Nangong Shan hurriedly asked.

"Lord Yu, the mountains, rocks, grass and trees in the middle of the avenue have all been removed by us, what Commander Xiao said is correct, twenty miles from here, the two forks have merged into one avenue, which is consistent with our marching route."

"Twenty miles? What the hell does Qiancheng Pavilion want to do, inexplicably make a twenty-mile isolation?" Xiao Wuji muttered to himself.

Glancing at Xiao Wuji, Nangong Shan didn't say anything appreciative, but just said lightly to the vanguard officer: "Now that the obstacle has been removed, you can order those five thousand soldiers to take the first step, go to the village in front of you to get water, and wait for the arrival of the army."

"Command!"

The vanguard officer turned his horse's head and ran forward.

"The army marches on!" Nangong Mountain, who had been trapped here for three hours, finally let out a sigh of relief and issued an angry order.

In this way, the 5,000 people who opened the road were the vanguard, twenty miles away from the army, and continued to set off towards the Baijiang River.

Walking on the avenue, everyone's hearts seemed to be much more stable, only Xiao Wuji, he still frowned all the way, and his heart was indescribably awkward.

They marched for two more hours, and said nothing all the way.

The afterglow of the setting sun had already stained the sky red, bringing a blood-red color.

"Wow Wow Wow"

In the wilderness on both sides of the avenue, a few crows fluttered and flew by, and their terrible cries made everyone's hearts cold.

"Stop!" Xiao Wuji called off the army.

"Commander Xiao, what does this mean?" Nangong Shan's words were a little dissatisfied, he was the main general.

Xiao Wuji came to his side and arched his hand and said, "Back to the prince, I always feel that something is wrong along the way, and now a flock of crows has flown by, it is really unknown, the last general suggested that the large army stand by in place, and then send a team of men and horses to carefully survey around our army."

In ancient times, when marching, it was most taboo to encounter crows, and it has always been regarded as a sign of great evil by generals.

Pointing at the sluggish marching soldiers, Nangong Shan sneered disdainfully, and said, "Look at them, look at them, if we don't rush to the front village as soon as possible and supply water, I'm afraid we will die of thirst if we are not killed."

"But the prince ......."

Xiao Wuji was still waiting to be distinguished, and was interrupted by Mo Fugui.

"Okay, Commander Xiao, don't be suspicious, you can see that there is a smooth road in front and back, left and right, where can you ambush? It's just a few crows, and my army of 50,000 is still afraid of them?"

Li Feibai sat on the horse and looked at them quietly, without words.

Presumably, it's already been calculated. He said secretly in his heart.

"Mr. Mo must not know what the crows feed on, right?" Xiao Wuji glanced at him and said.

"Please also ask Commander Xiao for advice." Mo Fugui was not to be outdone, and replied with a strange yin and yang anger.

He himself and Xiao Wuji have no grievances or hatreds, just to fight for Nangong Mountain.

Of course, Li Feibai has seen clearly that he is a villain who is nothing more than flattery and rudder. When the catastrophe comes, he will definitely push Nangong Mountain out and block him in front of him.

"Crows feed on dead bodies, and if they appear in such flocks, there will be dead bodies around."

As soon as Xiao Wuji said this, Mo Fugui was startled.

"You...... Don't bluff people."

"You can ask the prince, did I bluff you?" Xiao Wuji asked.

Nangong Shan knew this, and he slowly spoke: "Crows like to eat carrion, but in the vast majority of cases, they eat the corpses of birds and beasts, Commander Xiao is no longer suspicious, and orders the army to continue to move forward."

He said in an unquestioning tone.

Helpless, Xiao Wuji sighed in his heart, and could only act according to Nangong Mountain's orders.

He waved his hand, and was just about to give the order, when suddenly a north wind blew in his face and hit everyone's faces.

"What does it smell like?" Mo Fugui stretched out his nose and kept sniffing.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Feibai's mouth pulled up an inexplicable evil smile, which flashed.

"Oh no, it's bloody!" Xiao Wuji shouted.

Hearing this, Nangong Shan's disdainful expression suddenly became solemn.

Mo Fugui's arrogance disappeared immediately, and it was replaced by panic and panic.

And Lin Tianchong was tense, secretly accumulating strength, and approached Nangong Mountain's side, just in case.

Xiao Wuji immediately stepped on the stirrups, stood up, and looked forward with his eyes.
