The demon soldiers walked day and night, completely unaware that two people were following them all the time, and when it was night, they would find a hidden place to stop, and then the long-shaped beast would burrow into the ground or a large hole in the mountain, and they would hide in the cave with those demon soldiers, and they chose a place covered by trees, and the entrance to the cave was well hidden.

The good girl's delicate face was a little red and swollen from the cold, but the journey she followed was full of thrill and curiosity, and she looked sideways at the tall and handsome Chang Ah beside her, who was looking to the east with an inquiring gaze, as if there was something he had always dreamed of.

The east is the direction in which the demon soldiers are heading, and the natural aurora is getting thicker and brighter in the darkness, it is already the fifth day, and it has reached a new geography, Changya has never been here before, and it is getting farther and farther away from the black desert where he is going.

During the day, the two of them were in a forest to monitor the movements of the demon soldiers. Suddenly, there was a bird cry overhead, and the good girl immediately smiled when she heard it, knowing that her pet beast, the water green phoenix, had arrived. She whistled softly, and the phoenix circled for a moment to confirm her position, flew down, and landed on her shoulder.

Changya stayed in the Suzaku Palace this time, and seized the time to transcribe the big book of the art of war, "The Last Chapter of the Tower King". Phoenix's mission is to give the war book to Wu Gang. He knew that this third brother didn't read much, but he was a general, and the military book was given to him, which was exactly what it was. The love of his fathers has long been projected on him, so he will never hide it from his brothers.

Changya discussed with the good girl and wrote this unexpected discovery into a document, and still sent it to Wu Gang with a phoenix fly, and then Wu Gang reported it to Princess Weijian. The good woman knew that the situation was extraordinary and agreed with him. Continue to use Phoenix as a communication tool. The two of them looked for another place five miles away. Light a fire. Mixed snow into ink with wood ash, tore off a piece of clothing, and wrote the anomaly that the two of them found in the East on the cloth, which was still sent by the phoenix.

In addition, the city of Huohe Hama in Magua Island in the west reported on the case of floating corpses of animals in the Swill River, and asked the imperial court to send people to help investigate the matter and arrest the murderer. And to this day there was a new letter.

Early in the morning of this day, outside the Weiqing Palace, Cang Shihong and Bian You, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, met at the same time, the two had a brief exchange, and then entered the palace to wait for the princess, not wanting Wei to see that he was already in the hall.

Bian You first reported: "Princess Chitose, the document transmission three thousand miles away has arrived, and our Ministry of Industry has extracted water samples from Huohe Hama City, which is so polluted that it is impossible to drink, and there are countless floating corpses in the river. The river has been blocked. ”

Wei Jianqi said: "It turns out that there is really something, such a strange thing must be investigated." It has a bearing on the lives of tens of millions of people in Maguazhou, an important province in western China. ”

Bian You said: "Yes, the upper reaches of the Swill River start from the Tiger Leaping Gorge three hundred miles away from this city, which borders the dark land of the demons, it is an uninhabited mountainous area, there are only wild beasts in the mountains, some people say that there is a big war between wild beasts, and some people say that it may be a mountain fire. My people and the people of Taifu Temple are preparing to trace the origin of the floating corpse and verify the origin of the floating corpse, maybe they have already set off at this time. ”

Cang Shihong said: "Princess Chitose, the army Taifu Temple also has a document delivered, which is roughly similar to what Lord Bian said, the same one will not be reported, only the same difference, that is, the autopsy has found a new one, and the dead bodies in the Swill River are all starved to death." ”

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers discussed one after another, Tiger Leaping Gorge is the densest mountain forest in the west, how can animals still starve to death, this matter is shocking to the point of incredible, the reason is still in the mystery, and the strangeness is grotesque.

Wait for further news from Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Outside the hall, Wu Gang asked to see him, and Wei Jianxuan immediately entered to see him.

Wu Gang Libi presented a piece of cloth and said, "Princess, this cloth was sent by Changya Feifeng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the letter reported that the special infantry of the demons were operating in the east, and the appearance was suspicious, and the items transported were actually arrows needed for strategic materials. ”

Wei saw that he sat down and asked the ministers for good advice.

Cang Shihong looked at the cloth piece, his face was solemn, and he said: "Your Majesty, the matter of transporting arrows is not trivial, and the demon must have a plot in the east." The Haihe River in the east separates the Celestial Empire from the small northern tribes outside the boundary of our Central Continent, and the demons have military operations here, which just shows that there is an evil force in that area that is colluding with the demons, and we have to guard against it. ”

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense, although some people doubted his words, but his words were reasonable, and the analysis was meticulous, and people couldn't help but believe it. You must know that the war between humans and demons, after all, only more than ten years have passed, and most of the people in this class have come from the shadow of that war, and now once the wolf smoke rises again, the tragedy will repeat again, and the flesh and blood will fly again. Therefore, they all hope that what the captain said is wrong.

Wei Jian said: "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Cang Shihong said: "The national defense policy focuses on the prevention of slight problems, according to the opinion of the old minister, this matter must be doubly cautious." At present, the northern land has no belonging, the Celestial Empire is separated from the Haihe River, and the Tianyang is blocked by Wulun, and it is unreasonable for me not to take it from the Central Continent. Take it, strengthen my prestige, don't take it, once the demons occupy it, the war will be close to the bridge of my nose in the Middle Kingdom. This is also my original intention of sending Commander Chang to the alliance. His argument was very correct, and everyone nodded yes, thinking: "I have such a good minister in Zhongzhou, fortunately!"

Liang Bei stepped forward and said, "Captain Cang, the old minister has something to say. ”

Cang Shihong said with a smile: "Liang Xiang, please say that it doesn't matter, in case of serious trouble, we are officials in the same dynasty, and what we need most is to be honest with each other." ”

"Extremely, I don't take the northern land, no one can take it, and my words are reasonable, but once I get the middle continent, I will inevitably be used by some people in the northern land to incite the border people to rebel, and this is one of them. Second, when the time comes, when the two countries see that we are expanding the territory of Zhongzhou, they will definitely be red-eyed, and they will use the excuse that I am bullying the small clan and interfering in the politics of our government, and even if they use force, they must not be unguarded. "He is the elite of the political zhì, and these words are the truth.

Cang Shihong said: "Reasonable, reasonable, but I don't know how Chang led the alliance, the alliance is not occupied, as long as the alliance is complete, others want to get in the way, and they can't find an excuse." ”

Wu Gang read "The Last Words of the Tower King" for a long time, thought about the stakes in it, and heard what Cang Shihong just said, "Fierce soldiers and horses, prevent micro and gradual progress", he got up and said: "Tai Lieutenant, Wu Gang has some ideas. ”

Everyone knows that Zhongzhou can have today, it is all his credit, and because of the special relationship between him and the princess, everyone sees it, so they value him very much. But he is a successful young man, but he is not public, and he is extremely low-key, and now he has something to say, and everyone is waiting for him to say.

Wu Gang waved around everyone and said: "I think the alliance has a better chance of success, my brother-in-law has a deep relationship in the north and has a good relationship with the leaders of various clans. At present, there are two things we can do: one is to immediately send troops to the northern border, saying that the soldiers are precious and fast, as long as the alliance is formed, this border army can immediately help those small tribes to unite into a terrible army, and there are changes in the north at present, and this army is also an important defensive force; and then we order Deng Daotong, the governor of Raozhou, to immediately send a secret team to detect the movements of the demons, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy, so as to adjust the subordinates of our army in a timely manner. I don't know if I'm right?"

Mi Xuan said happily: "Brother Wu's advice can be described as foolproof, it can be called brave and strategic, and today it impresses Lao Mitou!"

Wu Gang's strategy was very thorough, and after obtaining the consent of the ministers, Wei Jian immediately ordered Cang Shihong to mobilize troops to the northern border, which had been undefended for many years and would now become a defensive stronghold.

Cang Shihong took the order and left.

The courtiers dispersed, Wei saw that she walked towards Wu Gang, she was a little worried, because she had a premonition that there would be a war in her government, but she saw Wu Gang's confidence in strategy, although he didn't say much just now, he had already shown his talent, and he no longer looked like a brave man who only killed, she stared at him tightly, and wrote the admiration and love in her heart on her face, in front of Wu Gang, she never hid her heart, only in front of him, she could have the most innocent daughter's heart, because at this time she abandoned the princess frame, as long as she showed her bright smile like spring。

Changya and the good woman followed the demon soldiers, and by the eleventh day, the Misty Mountains had reached the end, and the terrain was gradually flattening. During the day, while the demon soldiers were sleeping, he climbed high and looked eastward, and the distance ahead was white, and he couldn't tell whether it was water or clouds at the end of the sky.

At night, the demon soldiers did not leave, nor did they come out of the cave. The good girl whispered in his ear: "The fog will be dispelled by the sun's rays, and the truth will be revealed." ”

Changya nodded, agreeing with her.

Sure enough, at midnight, I heard a sound in the distance. This day was already the middle and late part of the month, and in the second half of the night, I saw that the moon was like water, and the good girl's body moved, wanting to get out of the grass and take a closer look.

Changya pulled and motioned to move. I saw two figures in the east coming, running in front of them, not even a sound, and the martial arts were all superior. These two must have been scouted, and if someone peeps nearby, these two killers will come out and clean it up.

The two killers suddenly passed by, reached the west, and then went in the direction of the north, and walked around the carriage for a circle. A nightingale could be heard, and the cooing of owls could be heard. I vaguely saw the demon soldier come out of the hole. The vehicles came up, and there were three.

Chang Ya didn't dare to come closer, the martial arts of the two killers just now were not weak, and before he figured it out, he thought that he must not alarm them.

About a cup of tea had passed, and it was already good over there. I could hear the car walking back. When the car went far, Changya said in the ear of the good girl: "Don't move on your stomach, I'll come when I go." With that, he drifted westward.

After a while, Changya came back and said, "Those demons went back empty-handed, the arrows are already on the cart, we have to follow these three carts to find out who received these arrows." (To be continued......)
