Chapter 024: The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Have You Ever Read It?
After a massacre.
There were only thirteen of the Inujon who survived, including Nazaro and her two guards.
Wang Changxin placed these dog captives in the beacon tower and guarded them by Shui Hu and others.
The three guards who died to protect Na Sara, as well as the bodies of several other dog Rong people, were dug in a big pit by Wang Changxin and Zhang Qi and buried in one fell swoop. As for the carcasses of dogs, cattle, sheep and livestock in the camp, there was so much that the two could do nothing but wait for support.
At last.
The giant wolf in the ice field that was killed by Zhang Qi was a treasure all over his body, so he naturally couldn't waste it.
Wang Changxin personally operated the knife, skinned it, dismembered it one by one, and then pulled it to the beacon tower with a rope.
The internal organs, not the stomach, because some unknown pieces of meat were found inside......
After a busy day, the sky is almost dawn.
After Wang Changxin ate a bowl of stewed wolf offal, he left Zhang Qi and others to guard the beacon tower, and he himself went to the centurion to report the situation.
Inside the beacon tower.
Zhang Qi and Shui Hu and several other small soldiers sat around the bonfire and gobbled up.
The pot was boiling with a large pot full of wolf offal, all from the entrails of the giant wolf in the ice field.
Like the Ice Giant Wolf, a wild alien species, born by devouring the aura of heaven and earth, it is known as the elixir of flesh and blood, and eating it is very good for the human body, and generally only the middle and upper class nobles can afford to eat it.
Zhang Qi and several other soldiers were the first to eat this high-end ingredient.
High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.
In addition to the water, only a little coarse salt was added, and no other seasonings were put in, and after cooking, it tasted very delicious, not old, not woody, and not fishy.
"It's a big supplement."
After eating two bowls of wolf offal, Zhang Qi found that his lost qi and blood were recovering rapidly.
[Qi and Blood: 5.0 (current 4.3)]
After a battle with the giant wolf of the ice field, his qi and blood dropped to 3.7, and under normal circumstances, it would take at least a day or two to recover.
Unexpectedly, just after eating two bowls of the ice giant wolf's internal organs, he had recovered a lot.
This recovery effect is not much worse than the Qi and Blood Pill.
"Cultivation is eating, and eating is cultivation."
When Zhang Qi was about to bring another bowl, Na Sara suddenly came over, then knelt beside him and said, "Daniel Zhang, can you share some broth for my people to enjoy?" β
Zhang Qi turned his head to look at her.
Nasara stared at him silently with a pair of beautiful blue eyes, unafraid.
Zhang Qi smiled elegantly and easily.
From this bold alien girl, he seemed to see something familiar.
"I don't care."
Zhang Qi turned his gaze to Shui Hu and the others, and asked politely: "Which of you has an opinion?" β
The water tiger and the other four soldiers quickly shook their heads.
Since returning from the grassland last time, Zhang Qi's status in this team has skyrocketed, and his prestige is second only to Wu Chang Wang Changxin.
What's more, the ice giant wolf they ate was killed by Zhang Qi himself, and they were dumbfounded at that time. They never dreamed that Zhang Sanlang, who was not doing his job all day, would become strong unconsciously.
In this case, who would dare to have an opinion.
"That's good."
Zhang Qi nodded and said to Na Sara, "Call your people over and eat together." β
"Huh?"
Na Sara's eyes widened, and there was a hint of surprise on her face, obviously not expecting Zhang Qi to invite her to dine with her people.
The Zhou people and the Dog Rong people are feuds.
Not to mention eating at the same table, it is polite not to draw knives and cut each other.
Na Sara glanced at Zhang Qi deeply, and only felt that the man in front of him was extraordinarily different......
Because there were more than a dozen mouths, a large pot of wolf offal was eaten up in an instant, and there was not even a mouthful of soup left. So, Zhang Qi boiled another pot, which made everyone full.
"Hospitality and grateful."
After eating and drinking, Na Sara found Zhang Qi again and thanked him sincerely.
On the steppe.
Inviting guests to dine together is one of the highest etiquettes.
Zhang Qi did not dislike her status as a captive of the dog Rong, but invited her to dine with her people, which greatly changed her opinion of Zhang Qi.
This spearman, who was very rough with her before, is still quite ......
"You're welcome."
Zhang Qi smiled warmly and said, "How much military merit you can earn this time depends on you." Hello, I'm good, everyone. β
Nasara: "......"
While the two were talking, the water tiger who was standing guard outside quickly ran in and shouted loudly: "Chief Wu is back, Chief Wu is back." β
"So fast."
Zhang Qi walked out of the beacon tower quickly, the sky outside was already bright, after a night of heavy snow, the sky and the earth were covered in silver, which was refreshing.
He saw a group of people in the distance coming quickly along the Great Wall.
The leader rode a tall red warhorse.
The only one who dared to ride on the Great Wall was the boss of Wu Chang Wang Changxin's boss - the centurion Zhao Que.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Zhao family was a first-class family.
The Zhao family originated from the winning surname, one of the eight surnames in ancient times, the surname represents the ancestors, and the surname represents the branch, so it is also called the Ying surname Zhao.
In this Beiliang County, those surnamed Zhao are all crabs and walk sideways.
Half of Beiliang County has been reduced to the fiefdom of the Zhao family, if it weren't for the fact that the Great Wall on the border is a burden, I am afraid that the entire Beiliang County will be annexed by the Zhao family.
Those middle and senior officers in the army are all surnamed Zhao.
Stomp, stomp!
The horse's hooves trampling on the stone bricks make a crisp sound that can be heard from afar.
Zhang Qi noticed that the one who walked in the front and led the horse rope was Wu Chang Wang Changxin. I saw him holding his head high, his expression flying, and he looked like a triumphant victory.
Look at the man on the horse.
It turned out to be a young and heroic young man, wearing a red armor, obviously looking calm and relaxed, but it gave people an invisible pressure, which made people dare not look at it more.
"He's a master."
Zhang Qi secretly commented to himself, and then took Shui Hu and the others to greet him.
As soon as he approached, Wu Chang Wang Changxin hurriedly said, "Zhang Sanlang, come and see the centurion." β
"Little soldier Zhang Qi, I've seen the centurion!"
Zhang Qi bowed his hand and did not kneel down like Shui Hu and the others. There was no kneeling in the army, but some people liked to kneel.
"It's all exempt."
Centurion Zhao Que has a pair of red phoenix eyes, his face is soft, but his voice is like a snare drum, low and powerful, "Zhang Sanlang, your name, this centurion has heard it several times. β
"Don't dare to be."
Zhang Qi bowed his hand again and didn't say anything.
"Okay."
Zhao Que glanced at Zhang Qi with appreciation, brave and silent, and a good jade in the soldiers.
But.
It's also possible that this person is pretending.
It will be interesting to observe.
Zhao Que's gaze swept over Zhang Qi and fell on the bodies of the dogs behind him, and in the next second, his figure rose into the air like a big bird and fell silently in front of Na Sara.
"Moon Worship Nasara, the only daughter of the High Priest of the Moon Worship Division, the youngest priest of the Moon Worship Division, and the fiancΓ©e of the Moon Worship Son, Asutai."
Zhao Que stared at the dog girl in front of him, and a kind smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Na Sara sacrifice, the last time we met, it was three years ago. β
"You are?"
Na Juluo looked at Zhao Que carefully, and the other party said that she had seen herself three years ago, but she had no impression of the young Great Zhou general in front of her.
"Three years ago, I visited the Moon King with the prince."
Zhao Que reminded softly.
"Three years ago?"
After thinking about it for a while, Na Sara suddenly remembered that three years ago, Zhao Ji, the son of the Zhao family, took people to the grassland to worship the Moon King, and she accompanied the banquet with her mother, who was the high priest, at that time.
If memory serves.
The prince of Zhao and the king of the moon were planning together how to join forces to divide the entire northern steppe, but his mother thought that this was a ploy of the Zhou people, and the king of the moon was also worried about luring the wolf into the house, so he refused.
"You are one of the twelve guards brought by Zhao Shizi?"
Na Sara only remembered what Zhao Ji looked like, and Zhao Ji brought twelve guards, as for what those guards looked like, she didn't pay attention.
"Exactly."
After Zhao Que confessed, he drove all the people around him back, and within a radius of 100 meters, only he and Na Sara were left, he stared at this noble girl of the dog Rong, and asked with a solemn face: "The three major tribes of the dog Rong were wiped out overnight, what happened?" β
The one who can destroy the 30,000 cavalry of the dog Rong in one night is definitely not as simple as the ice giant wolf.
The army sent out a lot of scouts, and the information obtained was varied, but none of it was true and credible.
Na Sara didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Have you read the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" β
"This ancient book, naturally I have read it."
Zhao Que frowned and said, "What does this have to do with what happened on the grassland?" β
"Of course it does."
Na Sara suddenly trembled, her eyes showed a hint of fear, and she murmured: "The giant of the ghost country recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas drove the giant wolf of the ice field and swept down from the north, killing and destroying everything, and no one was spared from this catastrophe......"
"What!"
Zhao Que's complexion changed greatly.
The ghost kingdom that has disappeared for thousands of years, as well as those one-eyed giants recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, have reappeared in the world.
