Chapter 47: Moon River

Didn't find any trace of the hillbilly in the middle of the night?"

Imperial capital, Chongying Palace. Lan Tai angrily threw the newspaper in his hand on the table and smashed it with a hard fist.

Cheng Lian said cautiously: "Your Majesty, relax." After all, the other party is just three people, and compared to tens of thousands of troops, it is Hanhai dust and sand, and it is not so easy to find out. Look for a few more days, and they'll always show the fox's tail out!"

Lan Tai snorted: "Look for a few more days? Find these hillbillies for a few more days, and then we will cross the border and enter the territory of the magic capital to pursue them?"

Cheng Lian was speechless for a while.

Lan Tai himself thought angrily for a while, and said: "Yes, don't they just want to run to the Demon Capital? If they want to get to the Demon Capital, they have to cross the Moon River, and I don't believe that they can swim all the way through the river with such a wide river! As long as all the boats along the river are put away, the boards are not allowed to enter the water, and at the same time, they are strictly guarded against the area along the river, I will see how they cross the river!"

The False Divine Martial Emperor immediately patted his head and exclaimed loudly: "Good idea, good method! High, really high! Since the other party is going to cross the river anyway, then just hold the river and collect the boat, where is there any need to entangle with them on the road? Such a clever plan can only be figured out by His Majesty!"

Lan Tai had a gloomy face and did not speak. Cheng Lian glared at the fake Divine Martial Emperor fiercely and scolded, "Are you sarcastic about Your Majesty to your face?"

The Fake Shenwu Emperor was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the previous method of dispatching troops and horses to block the road was also thought up by Lan Tai himself, and it was useless......

After Cheng Lian finished teaching the false Shenwu Emperor, he whispered to Lan Tai: "Your Majesty, there is actually no need to collect the boats, because since the Great War of that year, the first emperor has already ordered the destruction of all the ships along the Moon River, and moved the border people inward, away from the river bank, so as not to make detailed contacts, and to avoid the Demon Capital sending people to preach the cow ghosts, snakes, and gods to the border people of the empire." ”

Lantai: "That's better......"

As he spoke, he stopped his mouth and said with a gloomy face: "It's good to be like this, but if we can't send a secret spy to the Demon Capital, we won't be able to send a secret piece of intelligence to the Demon Capital!"

Cheng Lian bowed and said, "Yes." After the Great War, the Empire did lose all the information in the Demon Capital. Your Majesty, let's not talk about him for now! Will the kamikaze camp still be sent out?"

Lan Tai said: "Yes, of course, I still set off every day, search along the side of the empire along the Moon River, and once I find that hillbilly, I will immediately go over and beat him to death!"

Cheng Lian agreed loudly, and then reported carefully: "Your Majesty, there is still a secret report coming from Gale County, there is a group of mud legs who pulled up the banner and gathered people to rebel, taking advantage of the fact that the army and the government are blocking the road and the city is empty of air defense, attacked a county town called Baizhou, and played the banner of rebellion......"

Lan Tai said with a gloomy face: "I don't know whether I am alive or dead! Hmph, since the banner of rebellion has been raised, there is no need for the deity to be polite! The order is passed, there is no need for pity, and it is no matter how to kill! If you catch a prisoner, you don't need to interrogate them, gather together to behead them and show them to the public, and deter those mud legs who don't know whether they are alive or dead!"

Cheng Lian bowed and said yes. Lan Tai said again: "Dare to cause trouble to the deity at this juncture, nine times out of ten, it is this hillbilly who instigated and instigated it! In this way, this hillbilly really looks like a person from the magic capital, and he is good at bewitching the public!"

※※※

Lan Tai's words were really wronged by Ling Ye. Ling Ye was speeding up his pace and fleeing at this time, where did he have time to "belead the crowd" and instigate others to rebel?

Lan Tai never thought that these people rebelled because he caused it, but in his heart and many imperial powers, he never thought about this problem.

After the three of them turned back to the north, avoiding the Imperial Army blocking the road, they turned around again and headed south, walked for a few days and a while, entered Dinghe County, another county in the south, and marched rapidly southward.

In the past few days, the Imperial army marching north along the way has been greatly reduced, and it is estimated that all those who have been mobilized have already set out of camp, and the rest have stayed in the original camp to continue to defend the south.

Perhaps it is because of this reason that the three of them have not seen the tragic incident of the government bullying the people in front of the government in the past few days, or it may be that the strong man has been caught, or the ploughing cattle have already eaten their stomachs, so naturally they don't have to pull and pull on the road anymore.

The three of them didn't care about what to think about, and traveled day and night from the inaccessible mountain path to the Moon River at full speed. At the junction of the empire and the holy capital, there is a wide river called the Moon River, which almost naturally separates the two countries.

Relations between the two countries have always been tense, and the technology is not so advanced, and no bridge across the Moon River has been built. If you want to cross the river, unless you can fly, you can only take a boat. If you have the perseverance to persevere, you can also swim nearly ten miles of water.

The closer you get to the Moon River, the tighter the defenses on the Empire's side become. In addition to patrolling back and forth with teams of Imperial troops, the Wind Falcon flying from the Imperial Capital flew over the heads of the three of them every day. Que Wan'er looked at those wind falcons, sighed and said, "With such a big battle, nine times out of ten, Lan Tai guessed that it was us. ”

Ling Ye nodded in agreement, and said, "At least it means that he guessed that we were going to the Holy Capital, so he defended the area along the river very tightly." The Wind Falcon is probably ready to surround and attack as soon as it spots us. This thing is flying high in the sky and shooting arrows in unison, which is indeed difficult to deal with. ”

Que Wan'er said: "As long as we don't reveal our whereabouts, then it's fine." We can't cross the river during the day, so we do it at night. When he crossed the Moon River, which was the place of the Holy Capital, no matter how strong the Wind Falcon was, he would not dare to cross the border to pursue. ”

Hurrying between the gaps in the patrols of the Imperial Army, on this day, the three of them finally reached the bank of the Moon River. After looking around, the three of them only screamed bitterly, not knowing how high or low.

This is a relatively turbulent section of the river, the river is very wide, you can't see the edge at a glance, there are not ten miles and there are eight miles. There are some villages left along the coast, but they are all ruins, not to mention people, not even dogs, and you can tell at a glance that no one has lived in them for decades.

In such ruins, there could be no ships. Even if there were, it was too broken to be used.

And that's not all. Not far from this section of the river bank is a high mountain, on which are stationed the Imperial Army, the number of which is estimated to be no small, and the soldiers patrolling in this vicinity all come out of it. During the day, when the weather is good, a soldier standing on a watchtower can basically see people nearby at a glance.

You don't have to think about it to guess that on the other side of the river, there will definitely be a barracks stationed in the Holy Capital, and they will also stare at the river. If someone smuggles over, will people think they don't see it?

Ling Ye was silent for a while, and said, "We can find another place along the river bank and take advantage of the night." With so many Imperial troops patrolling back and forth, it's impossible for us to make a boat, so we can only deal with it simply and get a piece of driftwood over!"
