Later, he could only see that he was clever, and He Lingchuan changed the topic and asked, "Dad, why do we have to go back to Dadu?" ”

"The foundation of the He family is there, how can there be no reason not to return to the descendants of the family?"

He Lingchuan rolled his eyes: "I have ears and eyes on the left and right, do you want me to speak in the vernacular?" He leaned into his father's ear, and his voice was like a gnat, and it was easy to be drowned by the sound of horses' hooves, "Our whole family was killed by the emperor, why do you have to go back to give him his life?" ”

He Chunhua frowned: "Otherwise, where would there be ambitions?" ”

Don't you need to rely on your husband's achievements?

"It's okay to have Baling Country in the west, isn't our Qiansong County bordering Shikoku? I don't think the monster country in the northeast is bad......" He Lingchuan looked at the six roads, and flashed a slap from He Chunhua's head, "Besides, the domestic situation is turbulent, and those mud legs who unveil the flags dare to call themselves the king of grass!" If you look abroad, then changing the emperor is like a marquee! I heard that the Xuanguo Kingdom in the east has changed eleven emperors in 20 years, and the shortest reign is only 19 days. ”

Serious high-risk occupations.

Which stinky boy is wrong, thinking about treason? He Chunhua said with a straight face: "A small country, can it be compared with a big kite?" After all, we have been established for more than 60 years and are fully prepared. ”

Hehe. He Lingchuan took a long breath: "We're all dead this time, and my father won't say anything to me?" ”

He Chunhua was slightly startled, and suddenly stared at him and said, "What did you get on?" ”

These words came unexpectedly, and a cold sweat broke out on He Lingchuan's back.

"What?"

The eldest son is more than brave, but he is not a delicate person, and he should not see through his own reservations. He Chunhua looked at him twice, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say this kind of conviction and murder in the future." ”

A gust of wind and sand blew, and He Lingchuan sneezed.

Dad's mind is also very deep.

Sun Guoshi's team finally embarked on the Red Cliff Trade Road.

Passing through the mountainside, there is a world of yellow sand in front of you, vast and boundless.

One sand dune after another stood in the hot wind, some as short as mounds of earth, and some as high as dozens of feet as high as mountains. But they are by no means as hard as mountain cliffs, and some of the great hills disappear overnight and pop up in other depressions.

The plants are all gone, and there is not a trace of greenery.

As far as the eye can see, there is only recklessness.

The Hongya Road is open in the desert, five zhang wide, and can accommodate several domestic carriages side by side. The stone bricks on the ground are not recognizable in their original color, and they become uneven under the thousands of steps of the merchants. Some of the bricks are new, and the country has done some repairs for Blackwater City and neighboring countries; There are also some ancient bricks that have not been replaced, and the surface of the black is different shades, but they are layered.

This makes the Red Cliff Road crawl in the sea of sand like a gray-black giant snake.

Zeng Feixiong also walked beside He's father and son, and saw He Lingchuan curious about the floor tiles, so he explained: "The bricks are all bloodstains, some new and some old. There are a lot of bandits on this road, and there are many battles. ”

"By the way, some of the blood stains were left more than a hundred years ago. Hongya Road is the road of transporting troops and grain in Panlong City in those years, and it is said that there have been countless catastrophes and killings around these roads. ”

To attack the besieged city, it is necessary to cut off the other party's reinforcements and food.

When He Lingchuan heard him say this, he suddenly felt that the blood qi was rushing towards him.

So many fierce battles, so many fresh lives, and such resolute calls to defend the country were all buried in the endless yellow sand, and nothing was left.

In the third year after the destruction of Panlong City, the kingdom of Xiluo fell; In another six years, Xianyouguo also died.

This pair of old enemies fought for decades, and finally both fell into the dust of history.

"That's why everyone hangs the 'bell flag'?" He Lingchuan pointed to the tall banner at the front of the team.

This is obviously the army of the Great Kite Country, and the leader is still the respected Sun Guoshi, but the flag of the team is embroidered with the word "bell" from the boss.

Today's people go to the end of the world, but they want to hang the old flag of the previous dynasty, which is incredible.

In fact, it was not only their own team, almost all the moving brigades on the Red Cliff Road raised the bell flag high, as if to send a message to the entire desert.

Of course, after all the teams left Hongya Road, they would put away the bell flag and then enter the borders of other countries, so although He Lingchuan had heard of it, it was rare to see this flag.

"Resentful spirits and alienated monsters crisscross the desert, catching and eating whatever they want, but not stepping on the Red Cliff Road, because this is the route that the Gale Army has traveled countless times back then. Everyone hung the bell flag to pay tribute to the Gale Army of the year and seek safety for themselves. ”

If He Lingchuan wants to say, what is a tribute, it is clearly a fake.

Zeng Feixiong tore off the cloth towel covering his face, spat on the handkerchief, and put it away: "Saliva and urine can't be sprinkled on the Red Cliff Road at will, they must be collected and taken away, otherwise it will be regarded as contempt, and it will annoy the heroic spirits here." ”

He Chunhua also said: "In the past, many countries did not believe in evil, and their own business travelers were not allowed to plant bell flags and walk on Hongya Road. The result—"

"As a result, they had to get it right." He Lingchuan understood, "There is no need for the living to be angry with the dead. ”

At this moment, several loud roars were heard from behind.

Everyone looked back, and a snow-white puppy ran out of the other team that walked behind, leaving the Red Cliff Road in three steps and two steps, and running towards the nearest sand dune.

Its little owner is a five-year-old girl, and as soon as the dog gets out of her hand, she subconsciously raises her legs and chases.

Soon, she also left Red Cliff Road.

Before her family could react, the executioner rushed from behind and yelled at her: "Come back! Come back! ”

What He Lingchuan and the others heard was his call.

The child's mother, a noblewoman, came over and complained: "Be quiet, don't frighten my child!" ”

"If you don't come back, your child will be gone!" The executioner then yelled, "Come back, the monster is going to eat people!" ”

The desert was empty as if it were still painting, and not a single wild animal appeared.

The girl stopped, looked at the team, and then at the little white dog in the distance, hesitated.

The child's mother said disgustedly: "You go and pick her up." ”

I didn't want to leave Hongya Road at all.

The child's mother had to stride to her child, pick it up and walk back.

Nothing happened.

"Useless male ......" The lady didn't finish scolding when the soles of her feet suddenly collapsed.

A large mouth suddenly appeared from the bottom up, swallowing her and the child in one gulp.

The screams were terrible and short.

At this time, they were less than three steps away from Red Cliff Road.

The monster that devoured the two did not rush to dive after appearing, but quickly moved towards the white dog not far away.

It resembled a flounder, with a long mouth on the top of its head, and a body shaped like a large round plate, flat and flat, similar in color to yellow sand. If it hadn't jumped out on its own, even if He Lingchuan got closer, he might not have been able to discover its existence.
