Chapter 225: Ortai!
It was almost noon, and the Gobi was like a fire, even in the sky, because of the scorching temperature, there were ripples like water waves.
It stands to reason that under such a red sun, there should be no more pedestrians. However, at this moment, three figures came from afar.
The man who struck the head was a man dressed as a general, but now his helmet was gone, his hair was disheveled, and he was covered in blood. And on the palms of those hands, there was a pair of flying knives nailed, which were tied in front of him.
His lips were chapped and unusually embarrassed, but the people behind him didn't pay any attention to it.
One of the two behind him was a young man, dressed in a blue robe, with several sharp blades on his back. Each handle blooms with that kind of terrifying coercion, which is really a fierce blade.
And beside this young Taoist priest, there was a stunning woman. And her beauty, you have used all the words of this world, indescribable. It's already beautiful, and it's otherworldly.
No need to ask, the people in this line are Yi Zhiping, Xiaolongnu, and General Liu Python.
"Yi Zhiping, look! 'Ortai' has arrived, we have finally reached the end, this city is really big enough!"
The little dragon girl pointed out, and she even showed a touch of joy.
"Huh?"
Yi Zhiping then looked over, but sure enough, the earth-colored city was more than thirty zhang high, stretching for dozens of miles.
There are battlements, towers, and countless soldiers, and there must be hundreds of people patrolling and standing guard on this wall.
"Well, it's a big town,......"
Yi Zhiping sighed, but he didn't want to, but at this moment, General Liu turned around and prayed: "Young man, you are about to enter the city, can you remove this rope?"
"Hmph! It's embarrassing now? I knew today, why bother in the first place? Just tied up like this, go to see General Weilong, I want to see what he does with you!"
Yi Zhiping didn't pay attention to the Liu python, escorted him, and continued to walk forward.
At the same time, the soldiers at the city gate had already noticed the three of them, and kept closing their eyes and looking at where the three people were.
"Who's coming?" shouted suddenly, a school officer guarding the door.
"Quanzhen disciple, Hua Qianye! This is the dragon girl, we are responsible for escorting the military salaries for the frontier soldiers. ”
"Escort the military pay?"
"The ?...... of the Escort of Military Pay"
As soon as Yi Zhiping's words came out, all the forbidden troops inevitably showed joy. Because it is true, they have not been paid for about half a year. At this time, when the military salary came, they even had an urge to hug Yi Zhiping and kiss him.
"Don't listen to him shouting, do you see there is a dart cart behind them? Don't you come to play us?"
Suddenly, there was an old soldier on the city wall, holding a wine gourd in his mouth, and said.
"Yes, you don't even have a dart cart, so where do you get your salary?" asked the colonel.
"Naturally, there is a military salary, you see!"
Yi Zhiping was slightly happy, opened the box of the colorful Dongzhu, and suddenly the colorful light came out, shocking these soldiers guarding the door, one by one.
"Good baby, huh?"
The little school's harness is about to trickle down.
"Eh, Lord Captain, who do you see who is tied up in front of you? Why does it look like General Liu?"
"yes?"
Everyone was surprised that they recognized General Liu, and everyone immediately rushed out of the city gate with spears in their hands, and surrounded Yi Zhiping and others.
"Who are you, and why did you capture my Ortai general?
The captain shouted angrily, and he was also a little righteous.
"It doesn't hurt to say that you know, this General Liu's lard is blinded and sent troops to seize your military salary, if you don't believe it, you can ask him!"
Yi Zhiping kicked over General Liu. General Liu immediately arched his hand and said: "I'm sorry brothers, I'm sorry brothers, I'm also for everyone, I can get more military salaries......!
General Liu cried, and the forbidden army was also silent, kneeling down in unison and saying: "I implore this young man to release General Liu! Even if he is wrong in a thousand ways, this is true, a million taels ,......of silver, it is indeed a drop in the bucket."
"Whew!"
But seeing this group of soldiers stationed at the border pass, Yi Zhiping also felt a lot of emotion, and explained Liu Python, saying: "Even if the military salary is not enough, it can be urged to the imperial court, why make such a decision? Take me to see your General Weilong, this million silver taels, although it is a drop in the bucket, but it can solve the urgent need." ”
Yi Zhiping's words made the hearts of the border soldiers warm. But I didn't want to be at this moment, at the city gate, the old soldier Youzi said to himself: "The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and on the Gobi Desert, there are no sheep, only wolves...... Only wolves......"
"Old judge, what are you yelling about? I'm going to lock you ,......up again, old judge."
The colonel reprimanded, but hurriedly smiled: "This is a veteran, there is no one in the family, he doesn't want to go home, even if he is retired, he is still messing around in Ortai, drinking every day, talking nonsense." ”
"Whew, veteran, it's still admirable!"
Yi Zhiping didn't care, but went straight to the general's mansion with Xiaolongnu and others, under the guidance of the captain.
And on the road, Yi Zhiping also felt a lot of emotion. But seeing this Ortai, although it is a border city, it should also flourish. But at this time, it was a big surprise, and there seemed to be no life at all in the huge city.
The houses of the street are dilapidated and full of the color of loess. And the people in the city who are walking in the streets are even more yellow-faced and skinny.
"This?"
Yi Zhiping raised his finger and pointed, and the lieutenant, as if he understood what Yi Zhiping meant, hurriedly explained: "The young man doesn't know, this place is located in the west, the sand is full of gravel, and there are no crops at all. And the land that could produce crops was occupied by the Jin people. Therefore the people of the city were cut off from their means of subsistence. What about before? It's good that there is no war, and the people in the city can trade and do some business to make a living, but at this time, the blood cult is making a lot of trouble, and how dare the people in the city go out of the city at will? Therefore, a huge city, just watching, is about to become a ghost town,......
"Whew!"
At this time, Yi Zhiping finally understood that in the end, it was still the blood sect that caused trouble.
"Then why don't you send troops to encircle and suppress it?"
"Encircled and suppressed, encircled and suppressed many times, but those people, as if they knew when we would send troops, either ambushed us halfway, or let us pounce and run away in vain!"
"Hmph, then, it seems that in this city, there should be a spy of the Blood Sect......"
