In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed, and Jiang Wenjing and Xiao Lingyu finally arrived in Mobei.
If there were only people, they could have reached their destination in a few days, but they were carrying food and fodder, so the speed was naturally slower.
All the soldiers who received the news went outside the city to greet them.
It shouldn't be as grand as this, but after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here this time!
There was no news for several days, and the war was urgent, so no one knew that Xiao Lingyu's position as crown prince had been abolished.
Everyone was looking forward to it under the bright sun.
It didn't take long before the troops arrived.
Jiang Wenjing and Xiao Lingyu were surrounded as soon as they got off their horses. He Yanting just nodded slightly outside and then checked the food and grass with Yang Wu beside him.
Qingxi Valley is the last line of defense of Wala, and its distance from the main city is self-evident. So they have an advantage: they don’t have to worry about food and grass, as they can replenish them quickly if they are empty.
But Apocalypse is different.
Although they captured many cities in succession, the food in the cities was taken away by the retreating Wala army. Now was a time of shortage, and the food and fodder brought this time also alleviated their urgent needs.
After a rough check, He Yanting waved his hand and the car slowly drove towards the military camp. When he looked up, he suddenly found that everyone was standing there looking at him.
Seeing him coming over, Jiang Wenjing said, "General He is really worried about the war. He immediately went to check the food and grass. With such a serious and responsible General He, it won't be long before we can conquer Wala!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell silent.
His original intention was to use the praise of He Yanting to satirize those people who had been surrounding them and saying polite words, but now, why did his words sound so sarcastic?
The surroundings became quiet for a moment.
He Yanting knew Jiang Wenjing had no intention of mocking him, so he continued calmly, "Thank you for your compliment." He then looked up at Xiao Lingyu and asked, "Your Highness, would you like to take a rest first, or go straight to the barracks?"
Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Wenjing looked at each other and said, "Let's go directly to the military camp."
…
When we entered the city, it was empty.
The people in the city were all from Mobei, so their arrival was naturally not welcomed, and no one was surprised.
The people in the city were under strict surveillance to prevent them from colluding with the Wala army in Qingxi Valley.
After passing through the city and arriving at the military camp, the soldiers lined up to greet them, and everyone entered the main tent together.
There were sand tables, maps, etc. in the main tent. He Yanting went straight to the point and explained the current situation to them. Everyone discussed for a while, and soon the sky gradually darkened.
Only then did everyone stop talking about it.
Jiang Wenjing and Xiao Lingyu arrived as deputy generals. The soldiers set up two tents next to the main tent. When everyone had mostly left, Jiang Wenjing asked, "Where is the deputy general from before?"
He remembered that the deputy general always put defense first, and thought he would argue with him, but he never expected that no one would show up.
He Yanting said coldly: "I killed him. He was secretly communicating with the enemy."
Jiang Wenjing widened his eyes slightly: "When? How did you find out?"
He was secretly colluding with the enemy. Could it be that he was already doing so while he was here?
Jiang Wenjing thought with a grim expression.
He Yanting looked away: "He was careless and I caught him. Speaking of which, has Zhiyu returned to Shengjing now?"
Jiang Wenjing narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced to the side, and said as calmly as possible: "I'm back."
He Yanting had a hunch that something was wrong. His eyes were filled with anxiety that was hard to detect. He looked at Jiang Wenjing and asked, "Did something happen to her?"
Jiang Wenjing immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "What happened? What could possibly happen in Shengjing? There are so many people watching over her. Don't curse her!"
If what he said just now was just a guess, Jiang Wenjing's words that broke the defense almost confirmed He Yanting's guess.
He Yanting took a deep breath.
He just stood there quietly, with his eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking, but this caused Jiang Wenjing and Xiao Lingyu to feel great panic in their hearts.
This guy, isn't he planning to just quit and go back?!
Reason told them that it was impossible, but another voice in their hearts said: What if?
Although Xiao Lingyu was also very shocked by this, he frowned and said, "With Zhiyu's ability, it's impossible for anything serious to happen. If something serious happened, he wouldn't be here. You must stay calm. Brother Wen Jing, please explain the whole story in detail."
Seeing He Yanting's expression, Jiang Wenjing could no longer hide the truth. He frowned and said, "I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that Zhiyu seems to have made some kind of deal with the priest of Nan Gu, and now he has fallen into a deep sleep."
Xiao Lingyu's pupils trembled slightly.
"But my eldest brother said that Zhiyu had instructed him that if the Nan Gu priest did anything and she didn't wake up by the appointed time, he should find someone else. So this is only temporary, and Zhiyu will be fine."
After hearing his words, Xiao Lingyu let out a long sigh, then looked up at He Yanting.
He Yanting didn't move, his eyes were dark and his teeth were clenched.
Of course, he couldn't really abandon the battlefield and go back. What he could do was to end the battle as soon as possible!
"Bring me a pen and paper!"
…
The sky was filled with yellow sand, and the once flat road was now full of potholes due to bombings.
The car was bumping along, and Jiang Zhiyu's head was shaking against the glass.
The woman watched this scene with great interest and shared with her teammates next to her: "Look, this is the good thing about being young. This is the quality of sleep. He didn't even wake up. He's like he's dead. Hahaha."
The captain, who was busy analyzing data, looked up at Jiang Zhiyu and stared at him for a few seconds, his pupils shrinking suddenly: "Stop the car!"
The driver was startled and slammed on the brakes. Inertia caused everyone to rush forward. Only the captain held on to the seat tightly and squeezed next to Jiang Zhiyu.
The woman also realized that something was wrong and stood up to make room for the captain. The captain laid Jiang Zhiyu flat on the seat and checked her body with his supernatural power. His face suddenly changed.
Seeing her expression suddenly change, everyone's heart couldn't help but hang in the air. The young man swallowed his saliva and tremblingly said, "Captain? Is Sister Zhiyu okay?"
The sound seemed to wake her up. The usually aloof captain suddenly raised his head and threw himself on Jiang Zhiyu to listen to something, while his fingers touched her pulse.
This series of actions made the others' faces turn pale instantly. The woman bit her lower lip tightly, almost biting it through. The next second, she heard the captain's trembling voice: "Zhiyu, is she dead?"
She wasn't sure of herself, and her voice was slightly raised, expressing doubt.
The car fell into a deathly silence. After a long while, the young man finally spoke: "Impossible, he was fine just now. He didn't encounter any zombies along the way, and he wasn't injured. How could he..."
How could he die?!
