Night.

Gobi.

In the makeshift barracks built on the high ground, smoke rises and the aroma of southern rice fills the air.

North Slope.

The squad lieutenant carried a letter with a little fragrance, rode a sweaty and bloody horse, and rushed into the camp, but found that the main general Wei Anguo was not in the camp, and his own soldiers informed:

"On the North Slope."

"Okay."

The squad captain immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the hillside north of the camp, where he was surprised to find traces of battle on the ground.

In particular, there were sixteen or seventeen deep footprints on the ground at the bottom of the slope, and there were even hundreds of bursting rocks.

"What's going on?"

The squad captain dismounted and handed over the sweaty BMW to the little servant, while he walked up the northern slope and found that hundreds of soldiers had gathered around a bonfire somewhere to eat and drink.

The aroma is tangy.

And there was a sound in the distance:

"Jiang Five Hundred Lord, he mastered the legion martial arts at a young age, such a talent, he should be a big deal!"

Between words.

Another man was also aware of the arrival of the squad lieutenant:

"Ban family boy, there is a military intelligence report, don't worry, it's all your own people here, come here."

"Yes!"

The squad lieutenant strode to the campfire.

Jiang Chen squatted in front of the bonfire, roasting venison for Zhang Baisui and Wei Anguo, two general-level powerhouses, and smiled when he saw the arrival of the squad captain:

"The venison hasn't been roasted yet, if the brother is hungry, you might as well eat a pancake first."

The squad lieutenant swallowed his saliva, reached out to take the oil cake, and swallowed it in a big gulp, finding that there were still peppers and minced meat from the Western Regions hidden in it, which was extremely delicious.

Unconsciously, he ate four or five oil cakes in one bite before he remembered his own task, and when he was about to take out the letter, he looked at Jiang Chen with a hesitant expression.

Wei Anguo smiled slightly:

"It doesn't matter, with the military position and talent of the five hundred lords of Jiang, they will definitely be able to shine in the next battle of the western plough, and it doesn't hurt to inform them in advance."

The squad lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief:

"This is the Queen's handwritten book, saying that the content is important and must be opened by you."

said.

He took out a letter from his bosom with a surging fragrance.

Next second!

The moment Jiang Chen smelled the dark fragrance, he felt a slight tingling in his eyebrows, and hurriedly exclaimed:

"There's something wrong with this letter!"

The smiles on Zhang Baisui and Wei Anguo's faces stopped abruptly, and they quickly sensed the problem, and they both said coldly:

"Poisonous!"

It's too late, it's too soon!

Around Wei Anguo, a red dragon phantom covered in lava suddenly appeared.

This is the harvest of his misguided entry into the Huanglong Volcano in Zhongzhou when he was young.

Convincing people with reason, Wei Anguo signed a master-slave contract with a red dragon grandson with three fists and two feet, and he could extract the power of qi, blood and fire in the dragon grandson's body at any time.

A flash of blazing fire!

The Queen's handwritten letter was burned in an instant!

It's just—

An extremely soft female voice echoed over the bonfire at the moment when the envelope was burned:

"Although the vulture bone has taken away the caravan of my Elite Country, and there is some resentment, but this alone is not enough for this king to cooperate with David Kyushu."

"For the sake of the face of the Marquis of Dingyuan, this king will let this kid come back and report it, but if you dare to invade my exquisite country, you will die without a place to be buried!"

The female voice disappears.

Jiang Chen frowned at first, and then chuckled:

"If this exquisite queen really has the strength to resist the Kyushu soldiers, she will not send a threatening letter."

Hear the words.

Zhang Baisui's face showed a hint of approval:

"It's a bit insightful."

Wei Anguo also smiled:

"Then I'll test you, what kind of medicine is sold in these two sentences of the Absolute Queen?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and spoke:

"The price is insufficient."

"In the eyes of the Absolute Queen, the cooperation proposals and benefits given by the Ban brother are not enough for her to turn her back on the Western Regions and join the camp of the Western Army."

"But ......"

Jiang Chen took out a piece of fatty venison from the hot stone slab and handed it to Wei Anguo:

"General Wei, since Captain Ban has sent an envoy to the Elite Women's Country, you should have estimated in advance the conditions and benefits that might impress the queen, right?"

Wei Anguo took the venison:

"Not bad."

"If the Elite Woman Kingdom is willing to take David as the suzerainty and assist in the attack on Xili, you can get half of the land in Xili City, and you will be exempted from the pain of Kyushu soldiers."

Jiang Chen pondered for a few breaths, and then spoke:

"The population of Jingzhu is only 600,000, only half of Loulan, and the country is small."

"It stands to reason that these conditions are already extremely generous, but the Queen of Absolute keeps refusing and even poisoning her letters."

"There must be something strange about this."

"In my opinion, it is very likely that something unknown happened to the Elite Women's Country, which not only made her lose the ability to fight abroad, but even ......"

"I want to take the initiative to provoke the Qingzhou Army and go to the country of exquisite women!"

Wei Anguo nodded, what Jiang Chen said was not far from what he thought in his heart, so he ordered someone to take the map of the Western Regions and spread it out on the ground, and the four of them talked about it while eating oil cake venison.

on the map.

With the Peacock River as the center, Loulan established the East Plough, the National Capital, and the West Plough in the upper, middle and lower reaches, and with the passage of time, the expansion of the territory established the two cities of the Southern Wilderness and the Northern Wilderness in the north and south.

Jiang Chen fixed his eyes and looked over.

on the map.

The Exquisite Women's Country is located in the southwest of Loulan, bordering the Southern Wilderness and the Northern Wilderness.

The territory of the country is only one-third of Loulan.

What is the basis of such a small country to dare to poison David's mission?

Jiang Chen guessed:

"Could it be that the Luo Sect also taught the ritual of closing the ghost gate to the Elite Women's Country?"

Between words.

He had the strange feeling that nuclear weapons were out of check and spreading everywhere......

Wei Anguo frowned:

"Not necessarily."

"If it weren't for the original Loulan King Yan Leisheng killing the bull-headed ghost god and integrating the power of the ghost god with Loulan, the Ghost Gate Pass would not have paid attention to the call of the underworld keystone."

said.

He took out the three Underworld Keystones from his bosom.

"The value of these stones is only comparable to that of low-grade sharp weapons, if there is no power of ghosts and gods contained in Loulan Guoyun, it is simply not enough to inspire such top-level rituals as the Ghost Gate Pass."

Hear this.

Jiang Chen touched his chin and thought about it for a long time, but for a while, the second monk was confused.

Then.

Zhang Baisui squinted and pondered for a while, and suddenly said:

"Could it be...... What went wrong over there in the Southern Wilderness? ”

"The road to the Southern Wilderness, although it is not as flat as the Peacock River Basin, the road is easy, but if you calculate the distance, even if it is a turtle climbing, it is time to climb to the Southern Wilderness."

As soon as I heard this.

Wei Anguo thought for a moment, took out a tortoise shell from the pocket that contained the spiritual power of the space, raised it casually, and threw it into the bonfire, making a crackling sound, and his mouth was full of words.

With the movement, the surface of the tortoise shell gradually cracks.

A layer of surging red mist gradually filled the air.

ultimately

Condensed into a line of ancient official scripts:

[Hongwu, died in the flood. 】

The moment these six words appeared, Zhang Baisui and Wei Anguo's faces changed drastically.

Wei Anguo defended himself against the death of Emperor Wu, so he abandoned Wu Congwen and studied the method of fortune calculation for many years.

Other words.

The backbone of the Qingzhou Army and the actual first commander-in-chief, Hong Wu.

When he encounters a "flood", which may be a person's name or a natural thing such as a flood, he will face a life and death crisis!

Wei Anguo's face condensed, he no longer had the intention of eating venison pancakes, he immediately got up, quickly wrote a letter, handed it to the squad lieutenant, and said in a deep voice:

"Go to the Southern Wilderness immediately and hand over this letter to General Hongwu."

"Yes, General."

The squad lieutenant answered, immediately mounted a sweaty horse, and galloped south, coming and going in a hurry.

And Jiang Chen......

At this moment, I felt that in the sea of knowledge, the "blessings and misfortunes of life and death" faintly moved, slightly emitting a little golden light, but after flickering for a while, it stopped beating.

"Huh?"

"What's the situation?"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a long time, this was the first time he had seen a change in "Life and Death", but he had never revealed the words, and he couldn't help but secretly guess:

"Could it be that the information is wrong?"

After two months of actual contact, Jiang Chen also has some of his own knowledge and understanding of "life and death".

When you find an opportunity, a line of text will immediately appear.

As:

[Crimson Chance: The Light of the Righteous Path is ......]

And when there are some extremely critical choices that will affect Jiang Chen's personal fate, the power of "blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings rely on" will be revealed.

And now—

The life and death of General Hongwu will inevitably affect his own life.

It's just that.

There must be some kind of problem and mistake in the six words "Hongwu, death in the face of floods", which will lead to such a strange phenomenon of "life and death".

"It's foggy, it's ......"

Jiang Chen frowned, fell into deep thought, and also deeply felt his weakness.

The water in Loulan is too deep.

There is not only the Western Army, the New Huns, and the game of such secular top forces, but also the battle of national fortunes.

There are also the underworld and Luojiao, this kind of evil, trying to fish in troubled waters,

Now

Even the Elite Women's Kingdom is involved!

At every moment, the fate of this land will undergo drastic changes that no one knows, and it will eventually involve little people like Jiang Chen......

The crowd was silent for a long time.

Wei Anguo closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, then took out an even more ancient turtle shell from his arms again, threw it into the bonfire, and once again calculated and verified:

"Perhaps...... It's just that I miscalculated. ”

However.

Dozens of breaths later.

The tortoise shell once again showed the familiar six big characters:

[Hongwu, died in the flood. 】

"Is this—or is it so?"

Zhang Baisui couldn't sit still, and said in a deep voice:

"Master Wei, if General Hongwu really has a problem, it is not something that a mere Xili City can make up for at all!"

"Or, we will lead the army south to support the Southern Wilderness?"

Wei Anguo shook his head:

"No, I'm going to repair another book and inform Wei Xuan of this."

said.

He took out a pen and paper from his bosom, wrote a letter, handed it to a herald cavalryman, and ordered him to gallop day and night to the camp of the Western Army.

Zhang Baisui suddenly:

"Yes, if General Hongwu has a fierce bow, even if the martial saint appears, he will have the power to fight."

Wei Anguo sighed:

"After all, we are only at the level of fighting generals, which is not enough to affect the struggle at the level of Wuhou, I have a hunch that if I can kill the vulture bones in public, I can go further!"

Hearing this, Zhang Baisui raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"Emperor Weiwu has been gone for decades, and it stands to reason that the martial arts of tiger and leopard riding should not be able to break through to the realm of Wuhou, you ......"

Wei Anguo's face was full of bitterness:

"This is the reason why I traveled thousands of miles from Zhongzhou to Xili."

"When I received Wei Xuan's invitation letter, I had a vague premonition that this was my only chance to be promoted to Wuhou, and if I succeeded, I could extend my life for fifty years!"

Listen to the conversation between the two.

Jiang Chen understood in his heart.

Between "Ritual: Beasts are Better Than Humans" and "Fate: Descending Dragons and Subduing Tigers", only one person can survive.

The winner is the body of Wuhou!

And.

According to the rehearsal of "life and death" for the future, the possibility of Wei Anguo's defeat and death is far greater than that of the vultures!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at Zhang Baisui, can this veteran Qingzhou fighter reverse the fate of Wei Anguo being killed by the vulture?

…………

Following.

Early morning.

After burying the pot and making a breakfast, the army set off again.

It's just that on this day, the trip is significantly faster.

Apparently.

After learning the news of [Hongwu, died in the flood], Wei Anguo hoped to solve the matter of Xili as soon as possible, promote Wuhou, and then go south to support Hongwu.

But the sky was not beautiful, and just after running for a mile or two, it snowed heavily.

The roads are sometimes dry, sometimes muddy, and a little slippery.

Many soldiers were one foot deep and one foot shallow, leaving a series of footprints on the muddy road.

In an hour, I can only walk seven or eight miles.

For many transcendent Qingzhou warriors, it was too slow.

In particular, the 3,000 people in the rear who transported materials were unable to "transport grain in the snow."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then proposed:

"Old Commander, it is better for us to be the vanguard of a thousand people, you are responsible for stimulating the speed of the legion's martial arts, carrying some planks forward, and laying the planks in advance if you encounter a muddy road."

"When the next three battalions encounter muddy roads, the pace will not slow down."

"Great idea!"

Zhang Baisui's eyes lit up and immediately reported to Wei Anguo.

Soon.

Wei Anguo then passed down the military order:

"Jiang Chen, the five hundred lord of Qingzhou, if he can open up the way for my soldiers to conquer the West Plow, I will promise that when the West Plough is broken, I can give priority to the merit!"

Followed by.

A thousand new soldiers became the first batch of pioneers to inspire the speed, marching on this snowy day, with a little resentment on their faces.

Jiang Chen thought about it for a few breaths, and shouted in public:

"General Wei has promised that if we can successfully open the way for the army, it will be a great achievement."

"You are not laying roads, but ......"

"Gold and silver."

"Beauty."

"Fields."

"The mansion."

"Military merit!"

These words frantically stirred the deep desire in the hearts of many new pawns.

Fan Liangshan on the side was also extremely sophisticated, and scolded loudly:

"If you don't want to get rich, follow the people behind!"

Most of the many new pawns were born in the people's husband, how can they be willing to walk with the people's husband?

shouted in unison:

"I am willing to follow the general and open the way ahead!"

Zhang Baisui saw that his morale was available, and his whole body was full of blood and energy.

Legion Martial Arts, God Speed, Open!

Under the feet of many soldiers, it seems that infinite strength has been added.

The wind is born under your feet, and you walk like a galloping horse!

In just two or three days, the army of Zhengxi Plough rushed nearly 200 miles.

Sunset.

After Jiang Chen's 1,000 soldiers crossed a tall hill, they suddenly heard the sound of a beast roaring!

West plow,

The vast land ruled by the beast controllers,

The country within the kingdom of the savage beast has arrived!
