Chapter 153 They are not human
Wang Haisheng immediately stood at attention and answered with his head held high. He was full of fighting spirit and no longer had the timidity and naiveté he had before.
"Good job, I wasn't wrong about you!"
Bai Zongren patted his shoulder with one hand, and Wang Haisheng lowered his body and almost fell to his knees.
"Haha, I can't hold back my strength, but you're quite capable. You have a resilient spirit. Maybe you'll be stronger than me in the future!"
"Haha, thank you Captain Bai for the compliment. I can't even imagine being better than you in the future. I'd be lucky if I could be half as good as you!"
After the matter was settled, Bai Zongren said goodbye to Village Chief Sun and left.
Back at the campsite, Bai Zongren stood in front of the tent and said to everyone, "Let's cook all the fish we caught tonight. Everyone, have a good meal. Let's start the journey early tomorrow morning and get to Yuanzhou in one go!"
"good!"
No one complained and they were all very happy to hear that they could have more dishes.
When they were cleaning the river today, they caught a lot of big and small fish. They originally thought they would keep them for a few days to eat, but Captain Bai said they would cook them tonight and eat them. Wu Dahan hurriedly called for help.
Otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch so many fish by himself.
What we had tonight was coarse flour pancakes that had been soaked in water and then dried. Take a bite of the pancake, drink a sip of the delicious fish soup, and then pick up a piece of stewed fish. The taste is amazing!
Everyone was very satisfied with the dinner, which was also the most satisfying meal they had had since leaving Qianxi.
We had to save our previous rations because we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to buy food on the road. Later, the rations were soaked in water and we were about to run out of food. Fortunately, we killed more than a dozen wolves.
More than a hundred people had eaten wolf meat for two days and were tired of it. Wolf meat was tough and fishy, and only slightly better than wheat bran cakes.
If there were food, wild vegetable buns would taste better than this.
After eating and drinking enough, Bai Zongren asked everyone to rest early because they would have to march urgently starting tomorrow.
Everyone went to bed obediently, and when it was dawn, Zongren asked everyone to get up.
Bai Zongren's team began an urgent march early in the morning. After a day and night of travel, they finally entered Yuanzhou City the next morning.
Bai Li received a report from the scout early in the morning and went out to wait at the city gate.
From afar, she saw a group of about a hundred people wearing hats and raincoats coming towards her. The familiar figure of the man in the lead had already been engraved in her bones. Who else could it be but her father?
She ran over quickly.
"Dad! Second Uncle and Third Uncle, you're finally here!"
Bai Dalang and his brothers: So the ones who are brothers are invisible?
"Li'er!"
At this moment, no one called Bai Lijunzhi, but called her by her name as they did at home.
Bai Zongren and his two brothers went to meet him, and seeing that Bai Li was still safe and sound, they felt relieved.
Bai Li ran up to Bai Zongren, looked him up and down, then turned around.
"Hey, hey! This is at the city gate, with so many people watching. Is this appropriate?"
Bai Li looked around. At the city gate in the morning, small vendors and nearby villagers brought vegetables, poultry and eggs into the city to set up stalls to sell them, while others took advantage of the open city gate to go out of the city to do business. There were people coming and going. It was really inappropriate for more than a hundred people to be blocked here.
Bai Zongren: That’s not what he said.
The group entered the city and arrived at the gate of the barracks.
"Brother, you are most familiar with the barracks. Take everyone downstairs to take a hot bath, change into clean clothes, have breakfast and rest. I will take Dad and the others to the government office later."
In Qiangzhou, Nangong Min waited for three days and finally received the emperor's oral order.
The emperor ordered him to lead his troops back to Qianxi immediately, and he transferred troops from Qiannan and Fujian East to support Yuanzhou.
The emperor's idea coincided with his. He was currently the closest to Qianxi, so of course he should lead the troops back to provide support.
Yuanzhou is located between southern Guizhou and eastern Fujian. It is naturally closer to dispatch troops from these two places to support Yuanzhou than to go to western Guizhou.
This is the best way to deploy troops at the moment, but he is really worried about Bai Li.
After thinking about it, he hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it to her by carrier pigeon, explaining the situation so that she wouldn't worry.
Will she worry about him?
My hand shook, the tip of the pen tilted, and I wrote a wrong word.
He crumpled the paper and wrote a new one.
The carrier pigeon was released, and in the white rain curtain, the carrier pigeon flew into the rain curtain and disappeared.
Nangong Min looked at the direction where the carrier pigeon flew away, and his heart flew away with it...
"Oh no, Major General! A wild beast is approaching. Our horses are frightened and furious. The soldiers are trying to control the horses!"
"Let's go and take a look!"
The team of more than 10,000 people had more than 20 horse-drawn carriages loaded with food, drink, toilet paper, pots, pans, clothes and other things, so naturally there were more than 20 horses pulling the carriages.
These horses have been to the battlefield. They are afraid of only large wild beasts like tigers, lions and black bears, but they don't take ordinary wild wolves and leopards seriously.
"Look, what is that?"
Suddenly someone cried out in surprise. Nangong Min looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge team appearing in the white rain curtain, surrounding them. A quick glance around revealed that there were at least several thousand of them.
But are these... dwarfs?
Just as Nangong Min was wondering, a man appeared in front of him. He was riding a horse, wearing a conical hat, a black mask, and a black raincoat. He was covered in black from head to toe.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Nangong Min stood in front and bowed to ask, Ji Huanan and others stood on his left and right to protect him.
"Haha! Major General Nangong, how are you?"
"You are... Zhao Yuntian?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the man in black laughed wildly towards the sky for a few times, then slowly took off his mask, revealing a complex face.
Nangong Min took a deep breath. He knew that Wu Lanzhi and the others were seeking revenge on Zhao Yuntian, but he didn't expect them to be so cruel as to disfigure him.
"Haha, did I scare you? All of this is thanks to Bai Li. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this situation today!"
"Don't try to blame others for the evil you have done yourself.
If you are a man, you should admit your mistakes openly and swallow the bitter fruit you have sown!"
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Nangong Min couldn't help but curse angrily, and the sympathy that had just risen in his heart was immediately withdrawn. He deserved it!
"Men? Haha...!"
Zhao Yuntian laughed so hard that tears came out as if he had heard a huge joke.
The laughter stopped abruptly, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were cold and vicious.
"Today I'm going to let you experience what it means to be a real man!"
"Young ones, come on!"
Zhao Yuntian waved his hand, and those "soldiers" immediately started attacking them with swords and bows and arrows.
"Major General, they are not humans, they are monkeys!"
Ji Huanan swung his sword to repel one of them, and only then did he see clearly that his opponent was not a human.
"Zhao Yuntian! Aren't the King of Wei's monkey soldiers imprisoned? Why are you..."
Before he could finish his words, a monkey shot an arrow at his face. He hurriedly raised his sword to shoot it down. Then several monkeys behind him attacked him, and he immediately fought with them.
