"Brother Qiye, who is he?"

In the distance, Wu Quan looked at the back of Huo Quzhi riding forward on horseback, and couldn't help asking.

"Huo Quai."

"That's it...... Huo Qu's illness in the wolf Juxu? Wu Quan opened his mouth in surprise, "Why did I sense the aura of the [Domination Emperor] on him?" ”

"He was originally the [Domination Emperor], and he was also the first powerhouse in the history of Great Xia to break through to the ceiling of the human race." Lin Qiye explained, "At the same time, he is also the oldest founder of the Night Watch. ”

Lin Qiye's eyes fell on Huo Quai's back, and the words of the other party not long ago lingered in his ears again, and his expression was a little complicated.

Although the [Domination Emperor] can make people grow to the point of terror in a very short period of time, but the price is also very great, Huo Quzhi did not say how long he can live, but Lin Qiye Judging from the eagerness vaguely revealed in his eyes, there is not much left of this champion Hou's life.

Hearing this series of titles, Wuquan nodded in surprise, and then seemed to think of something,

"By the way, isn't this the Western Han Dynasty? Why don't they speak ancient texts? ”

Lin Qiye looked back at the fifteen-year-old boy and explained with a chuckle, "Zhihu is also a kind of ancient language in writing, which is a refined language used by the ancients to record things, and their daily communication is in the vernacular, but vernacular is very easy to produce regional and era differences, such as modern Daxia, how many dialects are there?" In addition, the habits and ways of speaking of the Bactrian people in the nineteenth century were also different from those of modern times.

However, a hundred years can make such a huge difference, so if the events are recorded in the vernacular after thousands of years, modern people will look like the book of heaven. Thanks to the fixed written style of ancient texts, future generations can understand the history books. ”

Wuquan suddenly realized.

But he seemed to think of something, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Qiye, didn't you say that the vernacular will change after a long time?" The Western Han Dynasty is more than 2,000 years old from our time, why do I feel that the way they speak is no different from ours? ”

Hearing this, Lin Qiye suddenly froze in place.

That's right...... Why are the speaking habits of people of this era so similar to those of modern people? Even if we don't consider the dialect differences caused by geographical location, just because of the time gap of more than 2,000 years, the way people speak in the Western Han Dynasty should be very different from modern times.

Before Wuquan woke up, Lin Qiye didn't notice this problem at all, he thought that it was the language magic array left by Merlin in the depths of his soul that played a role, so he let him communicate with the Western Han people without barriers...... But why can Wuquan understand them?

Lin Qiye frowned and thought for a long time, but there was no answer...... After all, he is not a professional scholar, so he can only put this doubt aside for the time being.

The army array was moving forward on the barren land, because most of the soldiers were on foot, so the speed was not fast, and Lin Qiye didn't know where he went, only that the daylight in the sky was gradually sinking in the west, and they seemed to be far away from the desert.

Wuquan followed behind Lin Qiye, dozing off while riding a horse, and only when the army in front suddenly stopped did he regain his senses.

"Why did you stop?" Wuquan looked at the sky, it seemed to be early.

Lin Qiye didn't speak, and I don't know how long it took, a general rode a horse to Lin Qiye's side and said respectfully:

"My lord, Master Hou is invited."

Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Okay, I know." ”

Lin Qiye turned his head and instructed Wuquan two words, and then approached straight to the front of the military formation, only to see Huo Quai, Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong and several generals gathering together, their faces a little solemn.

"Without the Black Dog's Teeth, the effectiveness of the Exorcism Array is mostly weakened...... Now this evil is becoming more and more rampant day by day, and if we are stationed in the wilderness, it will be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger! A veteran stroked his long beard and spoke solemnly.

"What can you do if you don't stay there? The nearest city is also dozens of miles away, and even if we arrive overnight, it is impossible for these 30,000 soldiers to enter the city, as long as they are in the wilderness, they are doomed to be dangerous. ”

"The spies we sent to the nearest city have returned, and they don't have any black dogtooth......

The crowd fell silent at the same time.

"How many days are we still from Chang'an?" At this moment, Huo Quzhi suddenly spoke.

"Back to Master Hou, there are at least five more days." Yan Zhong replied.

"Five days ......" Huo Quzhi looked up at the gradually dim sky, his brows furrowed slightly, "What if it's day and night?" ”

"Day and night? Master Hou, there are a lot of evil spirits haunted this night! A general reminded.

Huo Quzhi didn't answer, he just frowned and stared at Yan Zhong.

"If you go day and night, you don't sleep at full speed...... It will take three and a half days to reach Chang'an. ”

"What if you throw away seventy percent of your baggage?"

Hearing this, the faces of all the soldiers changed, "Master Hou, what are you going to do?" Although the evil in the wild is dangerous, we won't be in such a hurry to rush back to Chang'an, right? ”

"Yan Zhong."

"If you throw away seventy percent of your baggage...... You can arrive in Chang'an in two days! Yan Zhongyi gritted his teeth and replied.

Huo Quzhi nodded, "Pass the order, leave seventy percent of the baggage on the spot, set off at full speed immediately, and be sure to arrive in Chang'an before the third night comes!" ”

"Yes!" Zhan Yuwu did not hesitate at all, turned around and gave orders to the army.

The rest of the generals froze in place, as if they couldn't understand why Huo Qubing was in such a hurry to rush back to Chang'an.

"Master Hou, the ...... of the exorcism array"

"Continue to set up the formation, even if there are no black dog teeth, the others can have some effect." Huo Quzhi turned to look at everyone, "After the army moves for a while, Yan Zhong, you go to the west wing, Songqing sits on the east wing, Yuwu leads people to open the way, this is waiting to sit in the middle army, as for the rear wing, ......"

Huo Quzhi's gaze fell on Lin Qiye, and he asked for help:

"Lin Qiye, are you willing to sit in the rear for Ben Hou to prevent the evil cult from following the sneak attack? If you are willing, after returning to Chang'an, Benhou will personally ask for a reward for you. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Qiye, except for Yan Zhong, everyone else's eyes were full of surprise, they knew that Hou Ye had brought back a young man from Xue County, but they never expected that Hou Ye attached so much importance to this young man.

The rear of the army is the weakest and most dangerous position, and Hou Ye asked him to guard it, indicating that he recognized his strength very much.

Lin Qiye didn't hesitate much, then nodded and said, "No problem." ”

After receiving Lin Qiye's reply, Huo Quzhi's expression was obviously relaxed, he quickly issued a few more orders, and Lin Qiye rode directly to the tail of the army.

The dim remnant sun disappeared, the world fell into darkness, Lin Qiye looked up at the starry sky while riding a horse, his brows furrowed more and more, and he said with some uncertainties:

“…… Are these red stars a little closer than they were yesterday? ”
