Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 151 Arriving at the Hundred Rivers
Everyone set off again, passing by the corpses of the five thousand soldiers, Li Feibai glanced at them. Since you are soldiers who defend the country, there is no such thing as innocence.
He is not a merciful good man, and he will definitely be killed if he deserves to be killed. But it should be saved, and it will definitely be saved, such as the people under the West Tianxin Pavilion in Jinglin City.
Now that the people are short of water, it is impossible to waste any more energy to bury the five thousand. Their only hope was to walk the road safely and reach the village in front of them to be supplied with water.
Fortunately, in this ten-mile journey, as Li Feibai said, the road was smooth and unusual. Of course, he knew.
At the end of the avenue, there is a lush greenery, flowers and trees, mixed with the clear stream of the mountains. That fragrant smell made everyone feel a lot of spirits.
"Lord Wang, I don't think I need to look for any village to draw water, this mountain stream is the most sweet and delicious, let's set up camp here, fill the water by the way, and we can reach the boundary of the hundred rivers tomorrow." Xiao Wuji said.
"A clear stream in the mountains?" Nangong Shan had some suspicion on his face, and then ordered: "Decree, no one is allowed to drink this mountain spring water without the order of this king." Li Feibai smiled secretly, it seems that this King Qi was frightened, and there were some cups and snakes.
Immediately afterwards, Nangong Mountain's general doctor and poison test officer stepped forward and said, "You guys give me a careful examination of these clear springs to see if there is a problem?" ”
"Yes!" The two received the order, and the military doctor first tried it with a silver needle and found that there was no problem, and then the drug test officer scooped a scoop of spring water, put it in his mouth, moved his mouth a few times and found that there was no peculiar smell, and then swallowed it.
After a few moments, there was no anomaly.
"Lord Wang, there is no problem with this water." The medic said.
"Hmm." Nangong Shan nodded, and was just about to order the troops to fill water to drink, but was stopped by Xiao Wuji.
"Lord Wang, please wait a moment."
"What's wrong?"
"This spring water is non-toxic now, it doesn't mean that it will be non-toxic in the future, if the people of Qiancheng Pavilion hide at the source of the spring water, and wait for us to finish the inspection before poisoning, it is also possible." Xiao Wuji said.
All of them were frightened by Li Feibai's plan, and they acted timidly.
"Makes sense." Lin Tianchong couldn't help but echo his words. And Mo Fugui didn't dare to express any opinions anymore, and only silently waited for Nangong Mountain beside him.
"What about you?" Nangong Shan asked.
"We should first send someone to find the source of the spring water, watch it firmly, the spring water along the way has to be guarded by someone, and then test it again, if the spring water is okay, you can drink it with confidence." Xiao Wuji expressed his opinion.
It has to be said that he is still very experienced in marching.
"So what are you waiting for, hurry up and do it." Nangong Shan waved his hand impatiently, and his lips were dry. The sun had set, and the soldiers had brackered their prostrated bodies and erected their tents.
After about half an hour, the water source was finally found, and after the military doctor and the drug test officer tested it again, they did not find anything abnormal.
"Let the soldiers drink water." Nangong Shan finally gave the order. For a time, all the horses and horses disregarded military discipline, threw themselves at the spring, and drank the water in large gulps.
Li Feibai looked at the Black Dragon Guard led by Xiao Wuji, and saw that they were in good order, and the detachment stepped forward to drink.
Even in such an extreme situation, they can still maintain serious military discipline, and this Black Dragon Guard is definitely not to be underestimated.
Li Feibai reminded himself again in his heart. In fact, he originally planned to set up an ambush here again, but when he thought of the ultimate goal of the Thousand Cities Pavilion, he immediately dispelled this idea.
After all, the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, not to mention the Nangong Mountain of King Qi. Pushing him too hard won't help the next plans.
The armies set up camp and made fires for cooking. This time, Nangong Shan was very cautious, and let the drug test officer taste his own food, and after half an hour, he dared to eat when he saw that there was nothing wrong.
Nothing was said all night. The next day the army marched out of camp for an hour, and at last they crossed the wilderness and saw a city.
The center of the gate is made of stone
The word "Baijiang".
"The road was bumpy, and I finally reached the boundary of Baijiang." Nangong Shan couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion. After six days of marching, they finally reached Baijiang from Jinglin.
The city lord of Baijiang has been killed by Qiancheng Pavilion, and at this time, Yu Guangli, the captain of the city defense, led the officials of Baijiang to greet him outside the city gate.
Each city in the defense of the country has the position of city lord and city defense captain, the former is responsible for the people's livelihood politics, and the latter is responsible for the order in the city and the defense against foreign enemies.
Nominally, the city lord coordinates the overall situation, but the city defense army has real power in his hands, and the city defense captains in many places even have the right to speak above the city lord.
And Jinglin is the imperial city, the situation is special, it does not have the position of city defense captain, but is directly responsible for the order and security of the imperial city by Situ Wuwu, the commander of the imperial city forbidden army.
Seeing the arrival of the army, Yu Guangli seemed to have seen a savior, and immediately led everyone to Nangong Mountain, knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Yu Guangli, the captain of Baijiang City Defense, led all the troops to greet Wang Ye Tianwei. ”
"Welcome to the city." Everyone shouted in unison. Seeing this, Nangong Mountain's embarrassment in the middle of the way was completely gone, he was dressed in armor, and replied majestically: "You are waiting for the king to eat, and you have my David Heavenly Soldier in your hands, but you can't defeat a force in the rivers and lakes, you are really incompetent!" Hearing the reprimand, Yu Guangli and everyone were red-faced, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to reply.
They knew that if they spoke out in front of the public, they might be punished on the spot by the King of Qi.
"Now, Your Majesty thinks about the people's livelihood, and sends this king to lead the army to help you and others defend the peace and happiness of the Baijiang side." Nangong Shan said the opening remarks that he had already thought of.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long Live!" Yu Guangli kowtowed respectfully.
"Long live Your Majesty!" The rest of the Baijiang officials also shouted.
"Okay, don't say much, from now on, the 50,000 army will march in the city, this grain and grass route, and the resettlement problem, can you be ready?" Nangong Shan asked.
"Back to the prince, since we received the military order, we have begun to prepare, and now everything has been arranged, please follow me into the city." Yu Guangli replied respectfully.
"Alright, go into town!" With an order, Nangong Mountain, with the support of all the troops, entered Baijiang City with great fanfare.
Although the road is not as wide as Jinglin, it is still no problem to walk down four or five horses side by side. Yu Guangli led the way in front, Nangong Mountain took Li Feibai, Lin Tianchong, and Xiao Wuji side by side, the road had already been cleared, and the people on both sides knelt down when they saw the arrival of the army.
"Meet the prince."
"Meet the prince!" The shouting of the mountain made Nangong Shan unconsciously a little fluttering, and he couldn't help nodding and smiling.
Seeing his arrogant appearance, Xiao Wuji's disdainful expression flashed from his face.
"General Yu, you are well prepared." He was sarcastic. Xiao Wuji means that you can't resist the Thousand City Pavilion, but you are doing it to this slap horse.
"Commander Xiao has won the award, the prince has worked hard all the way, and he should greet him with great fanfare, so that it can also deter the Thousand Cities Pavilion." Yu Guangli returned.
