Chapter Eighty-Seven: There is an order from above
"You call this thing a horse?" Gu Yuan pointed to a grizzly bear, his face full of incredulity.
The horse supervisor was a hunchbacked old man with a sparse beard and a bit of a leaky conversation.
The old man nodded very seriously, and said in a firm tone: "That's right, this is a horse, a very rare breed, called a bear horse." ”
“......”
The old man quacked and laughed: "There is no other folk song that sings like this, bear horse, bear horse, cold like a mountain, warm like a flower, you laugh like a frog......"
The grizzly bear trapped in the cage suddenly pounced to the east and west, opened its mouth and roared angrily, and you could see saliva running down its tongue.
It really warmed up like a flower.
Blood Flowers.
"Okay, I admit it. Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and pointed to a goat that was burying its head in the grass and munching on the grass: "Are you because I haven't seen the world? I don't even recognize sheep?"
"You really don't recognize it. The old man twisted his beard, looking like he was puzzled by Gu Yuan, and said, "Of course, this is not a sheep, but a sheep horse." ”
Gu Yuan replied angrily: "Is there still a folk song dedicated to singing sheep and horses?"
The old man's eyes lit up, "Have you heard of it?"
“......”
"This ballad is sung like this, don't look at me as a sheep, in fact I am a horse, the green grass is more fragrant because I have become more fragrant, and the sky has become bluer because of me......"
"I see, I see. Gu Yuan pointed to an elk that was grabbing grass with sheep and said, "This must be a deer and a horse." ”
The old man clapped his hands and said yes.
Gu Yuan circled around a gray-haired donkey with a wilted head and head, and said, "Then this is a donkey and a horse?"
"Wrong. The old man shook his head, "You're wrong. ”
Gu Yuan smiled dumbly and said, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know it, do you?" the old man patted the donkey's head and said, "This is a stupid donkey." ”
"Don't look at it as thin, it's not a lot of harm to the mare in the stable, you see the hoof prints on its belly, it's because it wanted to be strong with a mare just now, but it was kicked away by a hoof. ”
Gu Yuan understood why this donkey was listless.
"You said that the bear deer is a horse, and I recognize that these livestock are horses, but I really don't understand, why is there a chicken here?" Gu Yuan looked at the strange rooster with thick paws and half a human height, and said, "Don't tell me that this is also a horse!"
The old man looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "This horse is amazing, rare in the world, named Ma Yi Ji, and it runs like a lightning speed, and the speed is extremely terrifying. ”
“......”
Gu Yuan looked at the old man, and the old man looked at Gu Yuan, speechless.
After a long time, Gu Yuan responded to the old man: "I think you may be sick." ”
......
After the previous scout team was wiped out, the horses became food for the witches. There were no horses to be found in the horse supervisor's place, and it was already great luck to be able to find such a few strange-shaped "horses".
Zhao An was weak and took the goat away. Big Bear has a kinship for the grizzly bear trapped in the cage, so the bear is his.
Ah Wu didn't know if he had feelings for chickens, and the big-footed chicken became his mount, so Li Tai chose the deer, and the only thing left for Gu Yuan was the gray donkey.
As for Fang Shixing, as early as after the witches retreated, he was separated from Gu Yuan and the others, and it is said that he has now been promoted to lieutenant in command of a thousand bronze armor soldiers.
Gu Yuan was outside the city, Fang Shixing was inside the city, and once they came and went, they rarely contacted each other, not to mention that the so-called fateful friendship between them was based on using each other.
......
For a long time, Gu Yuan's team had been scouting the enemy within a radius of dozens of miles, and had never been out of Hukou Canyon, so they had never encountered a particularly dangerous situation. But not long after they finished receiving their mounts, an order was issued from above, asking them to find out where the previous scout captain was held by the shamans and prepare to rescue them.
A small scout captain, supposedly not to be so serious about his life. Well, if this scout captain is the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor, the meaning is different.
"This Sun Baotian ran out secretly, and when he arrived in the army, he changed his appearance, and no one found out his identity at all. The herald who came to herald complained to Gu Yuan: "If you knew that he was a relative of the emperor, you would not have arranged him as a scout who would lose his life at any time." ”
Gu Yuan's expression was strange, and he said, "Why does the meaning of this sound so wrong?"
The herald said "Ahhhhhh ”
"I've gone to my heart. ”
The herald laughed dryly, and his face gradually became solemn: "The general order is this, find out the specific place where Sun Baotian is being held, and wait for someone to meet you, before that, don't act rashly." ”
Unless it was a big war, many of the general's small orders were conveyed by the herald. For example, digging an ore or picking a medicinal herb, you can't let the general come to the door in person, which is the existence of the herald.
"Why do you know Sun Baotian's identity again?" Gu Yuan felt strange.
"When I found the jade pendant he dropped while cleaning the battlefield, when I returned to Tianjing, Sun Baotian really disappeared, wasn't he captured by the witches, what else could there be?"
Gu Yuan touched his chin and said, "Are you sure he's still alive?"
"It's hard to say. "Every soldier at the border knows the fierceness of the witch, and it's really hard to say whether Sun Baotian was disemboweled by the witch and sacrificed to the rat god.
"If I find Sun Baotian, how should I notify the others?"
Hearing this, the herald took out a transparent spar from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Yuandao: "This is called the Shadow Stone, there is a pair, you can use your divine sense to urge this spiritual treasure to store the surrounding scene into it, and the person holding another Shadow Stone within three hundred miles will receive the scene from you." ”
Gu Yuan nodded, and asked again, "What if people are not in Wuwang Mountain and go deep into the poisonous miasma forest?"
"We've taken that into account as well. The herald said: "In order not to alarm the witches, you can only bring ten elites this time, and ten Qingqi Pills will be prepared for each of you, which is enough for you to stay in the Poison Miasma Forest for half a month." ”
"Pill?" Gu Yuan hesitated a little and said, "The cultivation of my subordinates is not high, can they withstand the medicinal power of the Qingqi Pill?"
"Relax. The herald smiled: "The effect of the Qingqi Pill is to increase the time of people's internal breath, there is not so much medicinal property, and people with low cultivation can take it." ”
Gu Yuan was relieved at this time.
Entering the forest to save people is, of course, the most important thing to protect yourself, Gu Yuan's subordinates are mixed, the soldiers who were forcibly recruited, and the remnants of the city guards in various cities are there, and such a dangerous thing is more reliable than someone who knows it.
The candidate in Gu Yuan's heart was originally to exclude Li Tai and Zhao An, but in the end, he failed to block the request of the two, and both entered the list of ten people.
