Under the scorching sun, the young man with a pale face and chapped lips was holding hands by a middle-aged man with a disheveled hair in a blank eye.

Looking at the strange mountain in the distance, which was black and pressing, but the peaks were flat, the young man asked in a hoarse voice, "Father, how long will it take for us to reach Jinling City?" ”

The middle-aged man was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "It's almost there......"

This reply, he said many, many times along the way.

And the teenager seemed to believe it every time.

That's it.

When he heard his father's response, he quietly lowered his head, dragging his legs, which seemed to be filled with lead, and walked with difficulty.

There are many, many such people in the huge ranks of 600,000 people.

Fortunately, because Chen Qingzhi defeated the army of the Xun Dynasty, he captured 12,000 horses. In addition to pulling 8,600 carts of grain and grass, these horses were also responsible for supporting some old people who were physically exhausted.

Otherwise, these people would not have been able to brave the wind and rain and carry the scorching sun and frost to come here.

On both sides of these people, the faces of the three thousand white horse servants were also full of exhaustion.

They were more tired than the people, and some of them were even wounded, and in the first battle of the border, not only did they lose 5,000 robes, but those of them who survived were more or less wounded.

The wounds were not serious at the time, but they had begun to deteriorate after such a long journey and strange celestial phenomena.

What's more, the white horses under their crotches were also slaughtered in order to prevent the people from starving to death.

At the front of the team, Yan Gang and Tian Yu walked slowly with stubbled beards.

"I remember when I was out of the city, when I walked here, I looked back, why didn't I see those black mountains in the distance?"

Yan Gang looked at the strange mountain in the distance, which was black and oppressive, but the peaks were flat.

"If I don't believe it, I even think that those mountains seem to be a wall."

After hearing his words, Tian Yu on the side nodded in agreement. Then he spoke: "Maybe it's because of the demons that the leylines have moved." ”

"When we entered the territory of Yuzhou at that time, when I led thirty horsemen to look for the people, I saw a black giant turtle carrying more than ten mountains slowly."

"Kyushu is a vast land, and there are definitely not a few monsters like this."

"Come to think of it, Jinling City has also been attacked by the Great Demon."

Yan Gang nodded slightly, and then fell silent.

But when they had gone for another half hour, their faces all became suspicious.

Yan Gang stared at his eyes, his lips opened slightly, and after standing for a few breaths with a shocked expression, he touched Tian Yu, who was also dumbfounded, with his elbow, and asked, "Guorang, am I dazzled?" ”

Tian Yu looked at the city wall in the distance, which was much higher than the mountain range, and the city tower on the city wall, and did not react for a long time.

After a while, he said: "I heard the general say before, he once read a book, called 'Mirage Chronicles', which has a paragraph, 'The mirage by the sea, you will see the vast and vast, standing (chu) like a strange peak, connecting like a stacked mountain (yan), the column is like a valley, hidden is not often, shifting time, the city, the Taixie, the sudden change (xu), such as the large area, hundreds of thousands of families, compared with the fish scales, there is a floating map'." ”

"Perhaps, this city is a mirage of the Heavenly Immortal City, you and I are tired all the way, so it can be seen."

When Yan Gang heard him say this, he suddenly realized: "The general also told me about this matter, but I didn't expect that one day I would really see such a strange scene." ”

At the same time, some of the auxiliary troops who had already come to patrol the city wall also found a figure that was extremely dense and dense, like a black spot.

So, he hurriedly informed Zhuge Liang of the matter.

When Zhuge Liang took Wang Meng and Lin Junwang to the city wall, those black dots came closer to the city wall.

Thousands of feet apart, and the distance was enough for them to see the black spots, a single figure.

Zhuge Liang was taken aback when he saw this, and ordered: "Pass on the official's order, let the city gate official of Guanyin Gate take one person into the air to see what those people are coming from!" ”

It's not that he didn't think that these were the people from Yuzhou, but he was just subconsciously vigilant.

After Lin Jun got the order, he immediately trotted away.

After a while, a fire dragon about five zhang long carried Lin Junwang into the sky, heading towards the dense figures in the distance.

When he came to the sky above the crowd, and saw that the people below were all ragged and looked like refugees, he said to Ao Ming, "My lord, please land here." ”

Ao Ming nodded slowly, and after circling around for a week, he fell.

At the same time, after Yan Gang and Tian Yu saw the picture of Ao Ming landing, they hurriedly stopped their pace and ordered the whole army to be on guard.

Immediately afterward, the two of them saw a handsome young man with a stomach and a stomach trotting towards them from the side of the dragon.

Lin Junwang came to two feet away from them, and when he saw that they had already pulled out the long sword at his waist, he immediately stopped, hugged his fists and said: "Dare to ask the two, but the white horse righteous servant who was ordered to escort the people of Yuzhou into Beijing?" ”

While Tian Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, Yan Gang asked quickly, "Who are you?" ”

Lin Junwang replied without humility or arrogance: "I have no official or position, and I run errands for Lord Zhuge of the household department on weekdays. ”

Hearing him say this, Yan Gang glanced sideways at Tian Yu and asked in a low voice, "Is there a Hubu Shangshu surnamed Zhuge in the court?" ”

Tian Yu shook his head slowly.

After Lin Junwang saw this scene, he said: "General Gongsun Zhan has returned to Beijing two days ago, if you don't believe it, you will go back to the city to invite the general here." ”

Tian Yu arched his hand and said: "I'm tired." ”

Lin Junwang immediately turned around and returned to Ao Ming's side, riding it back to Jinling City.

After about a dozen minutes, Tian Yu and Yan Gang saw the fire dragon return, and then a familiar laughter came from the fire dragon.

"Hahaha, Yan Gang, Guorang!"

When the two of them heard this laughter, their faces were overjoyed, and they greeted the fire dragon.

After the fire dragon landed, Gongsun Chan immediately jumped down from it and hugged Yan Gang and Tian Yu who were walking quickly.

After the three of them laughed for a while, Tian Yucai said: "Seeing that the general is unharmed, the last general suddenly felt that the fatigue of the past few days was swept away. ”

Yan Gang also smiled and nodded.

Gongsun Zhan sighed for a while after hearing this, and said: "It all depends on the emperor to survive this time, and I went to the palace early in the morning to thank the emperor." ”

After Tian Yu and Yan Gang smiled and nodded, Tian Yu asked, "Does the general know when this giant city was built?" ”

Gongsun Zhan glanced back at the majestic giant city, and said with emotion: "You don't believe it, this city was built by the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea in three days!" ”

"East China Sea Dragon Palace?"

Tian Yu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Gongsun Chan nodded, and said, "I don't have to delay here, hurry up and lead the people into the city, the city has already prepared hot water and food." ”

Then he patted the two of them on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This time, the three of us must get drunk for three days and three nights!" ”
