Chapter 322: The Fire of the Plains - The Flame of Fire (2)

Rinon took a big stride, weaving back and forth between the tight convoys, and in a few moments he found the carriage of the logistics officer.

"Ahh Ever since they had seen Ruinon's magic performance outside the east gate of Changge City, almost everyone present regarded Ruinon as a god-like existence, and it seemed that as long as Renon and Starmoko were there, the Xuanqing Rebels would be invincible in the world.

"Don't be a master, a master. Am I that old? Just call me Rinong. Ruinon smiled and waved his hand, then opened the door of the carriage, only to see that the car was empty, "What about people?"

"Are you looking for Minister Li? Mr. Xuanqing just had something to do with him, so he went to the front. ”

"Xuan Qingyi looking for him?" Ruinong followed the carriage slowly, thoughtful in his heart.

Ah, this is the real master. The guard closed his eyes excitedly with his spear in his arms and thought: not only is he strong, but he is also of high character. Approachable, easy-going, and without that stinky shelf that stands tall on top......

"Do you know how much drinking water is left in the van?"

"This ...... The subordinates had never heard of it from the officer, so they didn't know. ”

"Do you know which carriage is used to store water?"

"This ...... Probably over there, right?" the guard pointed thoughtfully behind him, "Fourth row behind...... Probably. ”

Ronon immediately cast his flying spell and flew backwards. "Thanks!" Rainon's figure had long since vanished, and only then did the guard hear Rainon's thanks.

Minister Li came to Xuan Qingyi's carriage with a thick stack of materials and knocked on the door.

"Li Keyong?" Xuan Qingyi's voice floated from inside the tightly closed car door, and the voice was slightly muffled.

"It's down there. ”

"Stop, let him in. ”

The coachman listened to Xuan Qingyi's orders. With a whip flick, the four horses neighed softly. Stop slowly.

"It's rude. Li Keyong shook his head and then pulled the car door. The bow body lifted the hem of the gown and got into the car. There is a lot of space in the carriage, and after putting down the two upholstered sofas, there is still enough room for a rectangular desk with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and four treasures of the study in the eastern Andes. The rich scent of ink mixed with the faint fragrance of rice paper makes this small carriage full of book fragrance.

After closing the car door, Xuan Qingyi did not rush to let the carriage move forward, nor did he ask questions, but sat upright with his eyes slightly closed.

Seeing that Xuan Qingyi didn't speak, Li Keyong was embarrassed to speak, so he had to hold the information. sat crampedly opposite Xuan Qingyi.

A pale yellow light slowly emanated from Xuan Qingyi's body, like silk threads embedded in the gaps between the wooden planks of the carriage. If Li Keyong knows magic, he can recognize it, this is for sound insulation. Of course, with Li Keyong's ingenuity, even if he doesn't understand magic, he knows that at this moment, Xuan Qingyi has a secret to discuss with him.

After a while, Xuan Qingyi spoke: "With such a thick account book, it seems that you usually work very hard?"

"Uh......" In the face of Xuan Qingyi's sudden words that seemed to be asking questions, Li Keyong was stunned for a moment, and then turned back to his face and said, "Mr. has won the award." ”

"In that case, why would the water be cut off?"

"Cut off the water?" Li Keyong asked in surprise, "Isn't this an order from you, sir?" It is true that our army is now short of water, but it is not enough to cut off the water! If it were not for your ......, sir?" Suddenly he understood something and did not continue.

There was a brief silence in the carriage. Suddenly, the sound of swallowing saliva broke the terrible silence. Li Keyong slid his Adam's apple with difficulty, and beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down his forehead, side face and neck one by one. This is not hot, Xuan Qingyi's carriage has a cryolite in it. The temperature is cooler.

"What are you for?" Xuan Qingyi asked with a kind smile on his face that had not changed for thousands of years, and closed his eyes.

At this moment, Li Keyong and Xuan Qingyi's kind smile are even more terrifying than demons. He knew very well in his heart that his fate was doomed the moment he entered the carriage, but he still handed over the account book with a hint of luck: "Our army is indeed short of water, but it is not to the point of water cut. The record of the receipt of military supplies is here. Please sir...... Not a single drop has been missed. ”

Xuan Qingyi took the account book and threw it to the ground, his slightly closed eyes never opened: "Forged." ”

"Minister...... Guilty ......"

The convoy of medical classes was crowded. One unconscious soldier after another was carried by his comrades. Under the triple blow of days of rapid marching, extreme heat and lack of water. The Xuanqing Rebels were in an unprecedented crisis. As Rui Nong said: The Xuanqing Righteous Army will be defeated without a fight.

"Damn! Not to mention the war, even if you can get to Linyi like this, it will be a problem. The medical squad leader took off his mask and yelled angrily. "Xiao Wu!"

"Alas!" came a feeble reply from outside the carriage.

"Please run an errand and talk to the person in front of you. Let the large army stop for a moment, and the soldiers will not be able to bear it if it continues like this. ”

Xiao Wu got up listlessly, looked around, and saw everyone frowning and drooping their faces and moving small steps behind the carriage. Their lips were white, their eyes were blank, and no drop of sweat was on their shiny skin, no matter how hot the sun was and how hot the temperature was. (PS: People who are dehydrated do not sweat.) )

The medical squad was originally located between the main force and the logistics unit, but now they have gradually moved to the end of the line. Countless soldiers who fell into a coma due to lack of water and heat stroke greatly slowed down the progress of the medical team, and a few corpses were left behind from time to time.

"Yes, I'll go!" Xiao Wu struggled to get up, and ran forward quickly with all his strength.

In the convoy of the logistics department, Ruinon shuttled between the carriages and stroked the barrels with his hands, and his face looked extremely ugly. Suddenly, he grabbed a passing soldier and asked, "Why don't you open a bucket of water for Lu?"

"I ...... I don't know what to do...... I don't know anything...... "When the little soldier saw that it was Ruinong, his face turned pale at once, and he stammered, "I really ...... It's true...... I don't know anything. ”

"And do you know there's water in there?"

"Yes...... Yes. No, no...... Ah......h

"There are so many!" Ruinon roared, "Why don't you supply water?" do you know that there are already people in Ludao...... Someone died?"

"I ......"

Renong thought for a moment. It's not a way to regenerate gas, so it's better to do something practical. So he let go of his hand and said, "Open the bucket of water immediately!"

"This ......," the creep's gaze shifted from side to side. It seems to be in the next big determination.

"What are you hesitating about?" said Rinon as he opened his throat and roared, a formation almost comparable to that of an enraged Gonzas.

"Master Starmoko, please be uneasy. At this time, Zhang Chong's voice came from the air, "Mr. Xuanqing has something to say to you, please come with Xiaosheng." ”

"I'll get the water first, and then I'll go myself. Ruinong raised his head and stared into Zhang Chong's eyes and said, "I do things by myself." When the time comes, Xuan Qingyi will track it down and say that I forced you to do this by force. With that, Rainon stepped forward and lifted the veil that was covering the carriage.

When Zhang Chong saw it, he frowned and took out a piece of yellow rune paper from his sleeve, and whispered something in his mouth. After a while, the yellow rune paper bloomed with golden light. condensed into a human face, that is Xuan Qingyi.

"Why don't you supply water?" Rui Nong raised his head and looked into Xuan Qingyi's eyes and asked, "There are so many more...... Do you know that dozens of soldiers have died in vain because of this?"

Xuan Qingyi's avatar floated in the air, swaying from side to side with the flickering golden light, "Zhi Lu said. Two cold, stiff syllables floated out.

"Knowing the Dao, knowing the Dao is what will ......?"

Xuan Qingyi interrupted Rui Nong and said, "Because you don't know the way." ”

"You're still playing dumb riddles at this point?" said Renon, climbing into the carriage and opening the bucket, "It's not much, but it's still enough." It's enough to solve the urgent need. ”

Xuan Qingyi shook his head, ignoring Ruinong. He turned to Zhang Chong and said: "I just received the news from the medical team that there are too many people in shock due to fatigue, heat stroke, and lack of water, and the brigade is out of touch, so I suspended the rapid march. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chong nodded.

Ruinon roared dissatisfiedly: "Don't you care about the life or death of the soldiers?"

"Wait. Let all the soldiers who can still walk gather in front of my carriage, I have something important to explain. ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing that Xuan Qingyi ignored him, Rui Nong unleashed his flying technique again and came to Xuan Qingyi's huge face. "When I don't exist?"

"The important thing I'm talking about is, of course, to distribute drinking water...... Of course, you can come along. After speaking, the golden head was in a trance, shattering into dots of golden light.

"The subordinates took their leave. Zhang Chong put away the yellow rune paper, bowed to Ruinong, and then stepped on the auspicious clouds, jumped into the air and disappeared.

Xuan Qingyi...... What kind of are you doing?" Ruinon stared in the direction Zhang Chong had left. The doubts in my heart are like soap bubbles, and the more I rub them, the more I rub them.

"Adult......" In Xuan Qingyi's carriage, Li Keyong knelt on his knees. The thin body shook like a sieve, "The wretched wife of the Cheng family, the young children, and the elderly parents will please sir." ”

Xuan Qingyi opened his eyes and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely send someone to take care of it, and I will never slack off." ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

"When I finish my great work, I will rehabilitate you. Xuan Qingyi thought for a while and added, "Don't worry, the gentleman says that the horse is difficult to chase." ”

"Thank you......" Li Keyong closed his eyes, what else could he say at this moment?

The sun in the middle of the sky became more and more violent, and the soldiers of the Xuanqing Righteous Army, abandoned their armor, wore their helmets crookedly, and staggered to the front of Xuanqingyi's carriage, and then lay on the ground one by one like dead corpses. At this time, they no longer cared about any discipline, and they would not move even if they put a knife on their necks.

"Looks like I'm overestimating them. Xuan Qingyi lifted the curtain of the carriage and peeked sideways, "I can't even overcome this difficulty, how can I fight the world with me?"

"......" Li Keyong wanted to say something, but gave up.

Ruinon and several officers from the logistics department dragged the carriage with drinking water to the scene. It's not just people, but even the sturdy and hard-working military horses can't bear it.

Xuan Qingyi estimated that the time was almost up, so he removed the soundproof barrier and said loudly: "Come on! Tie up Li Keyong for me!"

"Yes!" the guard waiting outside the door pushed the door in, carrying a bundle of thick hemp rope. Although his voice sounded full of energy and energy, the tired face and white lips betrayed his true state at the moment.

Under the skillful skills of Xuan Qingyi's personal guard, a perfect set of tortoise shells was tied to Li Keyong's body after a while...... (Reader D: Shenma? Tortoiseshell Binding Author: Wo Ying! Write it wrong! Forget it, I'm too lazy to change it, just keep it for a little word.) )

After a while, Li Keyong, who was tied up with all kinds of flowers, was escorted out of the carriage, and the soldiers gathered outside the carriage were suddenly stunned, and they whispered to each other. Although Li Keyong is only a grain and grass official, he is also a minister; besides, he is an old minister who followed Xuan Qingyi when the Xuanqing Righteous Army was built, and he has worked hard for ten years.

Li Keyong bowed his head, his knees on the hot sand, and his eyes were closed in silence. Although his eyes were tightly closed, there was still a white expanse in front of him, just like his life destiny.

In the midst of a buzzing discussion, Xuan Qingyi stepped out of the carriage with leisurely steps, and the essence of light flashed in his black pupils. The soldiers suddenly felt like bathing in the spring breeze, and the heat suddenly subsided, and they couldn't help but feel invigorated.

Spiritual Magic...... But you really have yours, Xuan Qingyi. Ruinon uses magic to manipulate the water in the carriage, and puts them into small water bladders in the center and thinks: What kind of play do you want to play?

Xuan Qingyi put his hands in his pockets, tinkered for a while, took out a roll of white paper, and gently stroked the paper with his slender fingertips and opened it, as if he was caressing his lover's skin.

Looking at it from afar, Ruinon could find a few small characters written on the back of the white paper. But he didn't care about it, his mind was on the bags of small water bladders at the moment, and it was so lifting to describe these water bladders in small words. Those small water bladders were made improvised by the sappers, and their capacity was very small, and the amount of water that could be held was very limited, at most the amount of dry water. "Admittedly, it is possible to divide the water evenly into such a small water bladder, but can it really get out of the current predicament?" Rinon muttered quietly.

"No problem, Mr. Starmoko, I'm sure Mr. Xuanqing will find a way. A soldier who was standing beside Rui Nong to help looked at Xuan Qingyi with adoring eyes.

"Li Keyong, director of the Logistics Department, was seriously short of water in our army due to mismanagement and planning mistakes, resulting in the death of more than 30 people. After Xuan Qingyi finished reading with an expressionless face, he gestured to the knife and axe hands on both sides.

The knife rose and fell, and Li Keyong was corrected on the spot. His head was hung high on a bamboo pole and carried by the standard-bearers at the front of the procession. Xuan Qingyi then beckoned to Ruinong, signaling that they could distribute drinking water. (To be continued......)
