Chapter 163: Haze (I)
"Huh. ”
Zhang Yong chuckled, and when the tip of the flying sword touched the ground under his feet, he stepped down from the flying sword.
He lightly stretched his sleeves, put the flying sword that emitted white light into his sleeve, and walked in front of Gongsun Xuanri.
"Why should wizards be so vigilant. ”
"Zhang Yong came, not for anything else, let alone the slightest malice, just wanting a Gu worm. ”
"For the Wu Clan, this thing is just a gesture. ”
Zhang Yong faced Gongsun Xuanri, clasping his hands into fists.
"I know the rules, before the Gu thing was formed, Zhang Yong was willing to be a cow and a horse for the Gongsun clan. ”
"Whether it's hunting for spirit beasts, or collecting spirit herbs. ”
"No matter how difficult it is, as long as you can do it, you will fight bravely and work hard!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Xuan's thick eyebrows on his forehead moved slightly.
He was silent for a moment, a smile on his face.
"Daozun. ”
"No matter what kind of Gu it is, it is destined to go against the principles of heaven. ”
"Although the Wu clan can raise insects, the method of controlling Gu is too complicated. ”
"And. ”
Gongsun Xuanri's face was serious, his eyes widened slightly, and a cold gaze emanated from his eyes.
He stared at Zhang Yong's face and deliberately accentuated his tone.
"The Gu worm that has been formed will have that kind of effect, and it is really unpredictable!"
"Has Dao Zun made up his mind to ask for Gu worms?!"
Facing Gongsun Xuanri's gaze, Zhang Yong gathered a smile on his face.
Zhang Yong's face was solemn and he nodded heavily.
"Seniors. ”
"I know that Gu things are unlucky, and I also know whether they are Gu or not, it all depends on the will of heaven. ”
"But if it doesn't work once, it will be a second time, and it won't work twice. Just for the third time!"
"Unless the Gu worm is refined, Zhang Yong will never leave. ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Xuanri's eyes moved slightly.
He narrowed his eyes and wandered over Zhang Yong's body, and after a long while, he sighed.
"Since Dao Zun insists on doing so. ”
Gongsun Xuanri held the cane horizontally in front of his chest with his left hand, and the five fingers of his right hand were straightened and closed, and placed them on the back of his left hand.
He bent down slightly and saluted Zhang Yong.
"The Wu Clan, we will do our best!"
Ningchuan. at the slab wall.
The wooden walls have been soaked in rainwater for a long time, and many places have swelled into a ball.
The soldiers stationed on the wall had already taken down the copper basin containing the water-repellent beads on the battlement.
In the gradually blazing sun, the soldiers who took turns to change their guards on the board wall were equipped with armor and blades.
Since the end of the rainy season, the more than 500 Liu soldiers stationed on the Ningchuan board wall have not slackened in the slightest.
In the waterway that surrounds the wall, the water that is still dark has long since overflowed the channel. Spread to the edge of the slab wall.
The banks of the river, which have been widened a lot, have also grown a lot of soft green grass leaves.
The corpse that was originally left outside Ningchuan and under the board wall had long been moved by Liu Jun's soldiers to a distant place for burial.
Remains buried in the earth. If it is not gouged out and eaten by wild dogs, it will rot in the mud and become fertilizer to nourish the land.
Wild beasts roam the wasteland, and birds soar in the sky.
Heavy fruit. Hanging from a tree branch.
The bright color of each fruit is full of ripe frankincense.
Outside of Ningchuan, on the territory of the Baisha Domain. In almost every forest, there are trees full of ripe fruits.
The purple and red, like a shining colored glass, when it catches people's eyes, it makes people swallow saliva.
Cavalry scouts walking in the woods, driving their horses among the trees full of ripe fruit.
The scouts pick the fruits they can identify and devour, and at the same time complete the task of discovering and searching.
Today, the scouts will expand the scope of their search to ten miles.
Most of the scouts are focused on looking for antelopes or deer that are active in the White Sand region at this time.
They thought it was going to be fine.
Until something happens.
A touch of black appeared in the distance, on the horizon where heaven and earth meet.
Subsequently, more than 30,000 cavalrymen dressed in various colors of armor turned into colorful torrents and rushed in the direction of Ningchuan.
The earth of the wasteland trembled slightly under the trampling of ten thousand hooves.
The shrill sound of trumpets echoed through the depths of the wasteland.
The scouts of Liu Jun, who were running in the forest and on the meadow, all pulled the reins in their hands in panic, driving the mount under their crotch to turn around quickly.
The cavalry of the Liu army blew the bamboo shoots, reminding all their companions.
They ran towards Ningchuan together, but there were twelve backward cavalry, but they were caught up by the cavalry of the coalition army just as they were about to retreat.
All twelve were killed by indiscriminate arrows.
Most of the scouts, when they did not retreat into Ningchuan, were bitten by the tail of the coalition cavalry.
In the end, out of a hundred scouts, less than ten managed to return to the wall.
The cavalry of the Liu army are equipped with saddles and stirrups, and the war horses of the Liu army are equipped with farriers to protect their chests.
According to the past, the cavalry of the coalition forces could not catch up with the cavalry of the Liu army at all.
Now, they were faster than Liu's horsemen, because they had also made saddles and shoes.
As for horsemanship, the cavalry of the coalition army is a carefully selected soldier from the defenders of the counties.
And Liu Jun's cavalry is almost always able to ride horses, and they can go to the battlefield if they can withstand bumps.
There is no comparison between the two.
That night, Li Xi led 700 cavalry and rushed to the wall.
The next morning, Peel Feather led 7,000 soldiers and ran to the wall.
Ten days later, Yougen, who had been stationed on the lakeside and stayed with the displaced people, met a cavalry sent by Liu Heng holding a bright yellow military flag.
On the same day, a golden ray pierced the sky of the Grass Cloud Domain.
The golden light streaked across the sky over Caoyun County.
Liu Heng, who was wearing a light blue silk coat and a python ribbon around his waist, stood quietly in front of the grass house.
He raised his head and watched the golden beam that divided the sky as it quickly faded into the distance.
He was worried, but his face was calm.
"Well~. ”
The wooden door of the grass house slowly opened, and Li Ruyun, dressed in a black sweatshirt, stood under a plaque painted with tadpole text.
He stood in the grass hut, looking up at the sky.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort in his mouth, Li Ruyun immediately lowered his head and looked at Liu Heng who was standing in front of the steps.
Facing Li Ruyun's gaze, Liu Heng arched his hands, bowed his body, and was respectful.
"It's not a small show. ”
Li Ruyun's eyes were slightly empty, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly upward.
He seemed to smile but did not smile, and his gaze became more and more cold in the gap between his narrowed eyes.
"Caoyun County, the Liu family is strong. ”
"Sure enough, it lives up to its name. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng's face was calm.
He reached out and lifted the hem of his silk dress and knelt directly on the ground.
He lay on his stomach on the ground, his forehead against the cold surface of the stepping stones, his hands with their fingers straight and closed and spread out to the sky, the backs of his hands touching the ground.
He didn't say a word, he didn't say a word.
Looking at Liu Heng, who was kneeling in front of the stone steps and had been silent, Li Ruyun frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
He had the heart to say something, but he was quite scruples and wanted to say it.
He was silent for a moment, then put his hands behind his back and turned around expressionlessly.
"Come in. ”
"I have something to ask you. (To be continued......)
PS: Well, I only got up in the afternoon.
There was going to clean the room.
Sorry hah.
Also, thank you for your support.
