Chapter 41 The Castle on the Map
Dingββ
The sound of metal sounded suddenly, Wang Chao only felt the hair on his forehead float for a moment, and then the sound of falling to the ground sounded behind him, and he quickly turned his head to look, and the tip of his heart suddenly cooled, only to see that the stone comparable to a giant bear fell to the ground in two from the middle, and the section was smooth and flat like the surface of water.
How can it be!
Wang Dynasty's eyes widened, he actually ...... I didn't even have time to make a move!
Moreover, Miss Lu used her hands!!
"Hiss~"
Zhao Lie gasped, this little girl, fortunately, she didn't offend her family along the way, if she offended, then there would be good fruit to eat?
At this time, Lu Xun ran over quickly and said in surprise: "Sister, you are so powerful." β
Da Fei was not far behind and patted his ass: "Master is powerful, worthy of being my master." β
The other children of the Lu family rushed over in a swarm, complimenting them enviously, even Lu Ziqi, who was pouted by a kangaroo for a few hoovesγγγγ Lu Ziqi stood behind Lu Wei, looking at Lu Tao, who was surrounded by everyone, a few struggles flashed in his eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and left here.
Even if she didn't turn her head to look, Lu Tao also knew about his departure, she didn't care, she just said to Wang Chao: "The moves are complicated, don't be greedy, the operation of internal force is still not skilled, and you need to practice more at night." β
"Thank you for your advice." Wang Chao thanked him, glanced at the half-grown children in front of him, and sighed slightly: "Miss Lu, the morning training has passed, we should hurry." β
"Okay." Lu Tao nodded, and asked as he walked back, "How long will it take to get to Lingnan?" β
"If it's fast, it's about twenty days away, but depending on the situation of the exiles, it may take a month and a half to arrive."
"Is there no way to speed it up?"
"There is no way unless the exiles are willing."
Let the exiles volunteer?
Lu Tao frowned, if he wanted them to volunteer, one was that the injury on his foot was healed, and the other was to be full, which had to meet these two things, and the foot would naturally speed up.
There was no way to do the injury on her foot, she couldn't treat it with spiritual spring water, the effect was a bit scary.
If you are full, this is not difficult, with her skills, hunting is still very simple, not to mention, there are many people in the team who rely on the mountain to eat.
When they returned to the team, the adults of the Lu family had already packed up their things and tents, while Yan Qingyao's tent next to them had long been missing, and they should have left this place when the heavy rain stopped.
It's okay that you don't expose too much stuff.
"Dad, let me ask you something."
"What?"
"What is this place?" Sitting on the donkey cart, Lu Tao took out a map of the Lingnan penal area and pointed out one of the places for Lu Wenyi to see.
Lu Wenyi looked down and saw that her finger was in a desolate place, surrounded by mountains on both sides, by the river on the left, and plains in front and behind, which was an easy terrain to attack and difficult to defend.
He frowned, "This is Licheng, which was abandoned by the previous dynasty decades ago. β
"Disposal?"
"That's right, look here." He pointed to the dotted box around Licheng and said, "This is not the territory of Great Xia now, but it is not not.
It is said that it is the territory of Great Xia because all the people who have lived there so far have been people of Great Xia.
No, because the forest on its right side is inhabited by barbarian tribes, and these barbarians will come to Licheng to attack the city and steal food in winter.
Their nature is not bad, as long as they are given food, they will not kill. But the Tartars in the north did not do it, they burned, killed, and tortured all kinds of things, and at the end they robbed all the food, and killed those who did not have them, regardless of men, women, and children.
So now, there are only some old and weak women and children left, well, more old and weak, women and children are gone.
And there is a drought and little rainfall, although there is a river that passes from the left, but in winter, the river freezes to death, and the ice is thick enough to walk from the head to the end, so that the only source of food is cut off.
So, it's almost a dead city. Now I don't know how many people there are, maybe they can't compare to our Lujia Village. β
"Yes." Lu Tao looked at the cities on the map, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that she had been staring at the cities on the map, Lu Ziqi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Could it be that you want to go to this city?" β
Lu Tao raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "Why not." β
Lu Ziqi's heart sank: "This place is deserted, there is nothing to eat, wear, and drink, and there is also the danger of Tartars and barbarians coming to attack the city, and if you go here, you will die and die." β
"What's the difference with Lingnan?"
This made Lu Ziqi choked, yes, it doesn't seem to make a difference.
However, he thought that he was an exile and could not help himself wherever he went, so he was much more relieved, and he preferred to stay in Lingnan than Licheng in the northwest, at least there was a garrison in Lingnan.
It's just that he didn't know that he was a little early.
Lu Tao put away the map, she had already made a plan, if she had the opportunity, she would ask for this Licheng.
The boundaries of this place are very vague, not only outside the pass, but also because of the barbarians, plus it is a barren land, and the court is powerless to manage it, so it can only be left to its own devices, as if there is no city.
The court doesn't care, it just meets Lu Tao's requirements.
After all, she is a big man who sits on one side in the last days, and there are five cities under her command, so it is impossible for her to go to farm, but she will personally guide her in the early stage.
After collecting the drawings, Lu Tao rested with his back to the barrel, and asked at the same time, "Dad, who are the hunters in our village?" β
"Orion? There are very few hunters in our village, most of them are farmers, and the two sons of your third uncle's family, Lu Xiaolin and Lu Chengfei, will know. What do these do, you ask? β
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about whether I can follow Wang Dangtou to hunt and improve everyone's food."
"The idea is good, but are they willing to be the king?" Lu Wenyi frowned and glanced at the officials in front of the team: "Even if the king is willing, I'm afraid the leader of the other team may not be willing." β
Lu Tao shook his head, "That's not likely. Improving the food for the exiles would not only reduce the number of deaths, but also reduce the number of people who fled, and they had no reason to disagree. β
Besides, their fists will be as big as hers?
Along the way, the exiles lacked food and clothing, were dizzy with hunger, had little strength to speak, and it was impossible to be demons, let alone hurry.
"Wow, wow~"
The child in Yuan Niang's arms has been crying, the sound is like a mosquito, under the scorching sun, the skin on the little face has cracked marks, and the lips that were moistened last night are even more dry and hard.
She looked at the child in her arms, her eyes were full of regret, she raised her eyes and glanced at the people of the Lu family, her eyes lingered on the donkey cart for a long time, and finally, she gritted her teeth and ran to the Lu family unwillingly.
