Chapter 172 No Man Can Stand It
"Oh, then wait until he comes back and ask him to come see me immediately."
"yes."
Not long after, Luo Yang came in breathlessly. As soon as he saw Bai Li, he said, "Marshal, you guessed it right!"
Bai Li waited for him to continue, his expression understanding. Luo Yang picked up a glass of water from the table and drank it in one gulp. He wiped his mouth before saying, "The Simon army is camped seventy miles away, less than ten miles from where they camped last time."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "In front of Hulu Canyon."
"Oh, you've learned to be smart. Now you won't be afraid of being ambushed when you enter the Great Zhou territory!"
"It seems they still want to take over Yuanzhou."
"No, the King of Jin won't take the initiative to attack now. He is hiding in the shadows like a poisonous snake, waiting for the right moment to strike us a devastating blow."
"Marshal, are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"
"Ignore him for now. Send someone to watch him day and night, and report any unusual movements immediately!"
"yes!"
The cavalry team now has He Daniu and Gao Dani. Wu Lanzhi and Luo Yang have become Bai Li's right-hand men and are responsible for running errands and delivering messages.
After Luo Yang left, Bai Li thought about it and went to find her father.
Since Prince Jin was not leaving, Bai Li did not dare to leave Yuanzhou. For a while, the two were in a stalemate in their respective camps.
In Qianxi, after Zhao Yuntian was defeated by Nangong Min, he reunited with the witch doctor and finally managed to find the remaining ape soldiers.
"Nangong Min is not easy to deal with. It's better to avoid facing him head-on in the future."
"To help Simon, we must naturally become his enemy. How can we avoid it?"
The witch doctor's look at him like a fool stung Zhao Yuntian, and he remembered his past with Ah Zi...
A sinister look flashed across Zhao Yuntian's eyes, but it didn't show on his face.
"So, what do you think should be done?"
"Find Bai Li first. My artifact has tracked the monkey spirit born from the golden ape. She is in her hands."
"She is in the Qianxi military camp. We'll just run into Nangong Min if we go there."
"Are you that afraid of Namgoong Min?"
"It's not that we're afraid, it's that we can't defeat him."
The witch doctor glanced at him with disdain, curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, he's busy dealing with the Laotian army and has no time to pay attention to you."
Zhao Yuntian almost spit out a mouthful of blood. How dare a crappy witch doctor who only knew unconventional methods look down on him?
If the King of Wei had not personally sent him here, he would not even have let him in.
Now that the King of Wei has fallen, he has hooked up with Simon again. If he had not fallen out with the Zhou Dynasty, he would not be with him.
"Don't overthink it. Once we get the monkey spirit, let it lead the ape soldiers and cooperate with Simon to perform great deeds. Then we can follow King Jin and enjoy the best of life!"
Zhao Yuntian had a gloomy face and said nothing. He looked at the monkey soldiers who were squeaking and jumping around not far away, and felt annoyed.
"Ape soldiers are great. They only need a little wild fruit and soybean meal to keep them going, unlike humans who need food and clothing and consume so many supplies."
"Humph, a beast is always a beast, it can never become a human being!"
Thinking of Ah Zi's belly, he became furious.
Unexpectedly, A Zi, who had sworn to be with him till death, actually cheated on him.
And the person who cheated on him was actually this weird witch doctor who was neither a ghost nor a human!
Speaking of which, he always had half of his face covered, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes, and no one had ever seen his true face.
The witch doctor felt a pair of eyes following him from behind. He shrugged his shoulders, took out the flute without any concern, put it to his masked mouth, and began to play gently.
A melodious flute sound rang out, echoing in the mountain stream.
The light and pleasant sound of the flute made people relax physically and mentally. After a while, the ape soldiers became quiet, lying or sitting on the ground, drowsy.
Zhao Yuntian felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and suddenly he woke up with a start.
The sound of this flute is weird!
Not only the ape soldiers, but even humans would fall asleep after hearing it.
He dug his nails into his palms tightly until a sharp pain came from his palms, and his mind finally cleared up.
The witch doctor sat on a big rock, playing the flute, his clothes fluttering in the wind. You have to say, he really had a bit of an immortal air.
"Okay, it's finally quiet!"
"See, isn't it much easier to manage than people?"
"If there were a monkey spirit leading them, we wouldn't have to worry about anything."
"What do we do next?"
Zhao Yuntian, who had been silent for a long time, finally responded and quietly put his hands behind his back. His palms were almost broken.
"wait!"
"Waiting for what?"
"When Nangong Min starts fighting with Laos, shall we go find Bai Li?"
The witch doctor gave him another idiotic look. If it weren't for the stinging pain in his palm, Zhao Yuntian would not have been able to bear it.
Such blatant and naked contempt, especially coming from his wife's mistress, is something no man can tolerate.
But Zhao Yuntian endured it, because his lower body was now disabled and he could never touch a woman again. He was no longer a man!
Zhao Yuntian's eyes were full of resentment and his heart was full of revenge!
He became like this today, hating A Zi, hating the witch doctor, and hating Bai Li even more!
If she hadn't hurt him, how could he have been hurt by those women...
As for Ah Zi, he would slowly settle the score with her later.
His house has been raided and his parents are imprisoned. If King Wei's men had not rescued him, he would still be in a dark, damp and dirty cell.
And all this is thanks to Bai Li!
Zhao Yuntian felt a sharp pain in his palm again, and he came to his senses. It turned out that he had clenched his fist unconsciously, and blood was squeezed out of his palm.
The witch doctor gave him an ambiguous look and ordered, "Go pick some wild fruits. The ape soldiers will need food when they wake up."
Maybe Zhao Yuntian didn’t hear it, but he didn’t say anything.
"Or, you can use the money to buy some soybean meal and bananas to feed them."
Zhao Yuntian choked. He was penniless now, what could he use to buy it?
He glanced at the witch doctor, then stood up and dusted himself off.
"Keep an eye on them. I'm going to pick some wild fruits."
After he finished speaking, he felt his stomach rumbling in protest and walked towards the top of the mountain.
Two hills away from the valley where Zhao Yuntian lived, Nangong Min ordered the army to set up camp and rest.
"Major General, it will take another five days to reach the Qianxi border. Should we travel a little further while the weather is clear?"
Ji Huanan was worried that the Laotian army had been traveling day and night and had already reached Qianxi. Once Qianxi fell, the consequences would be disastrous.
"These are new recruits. They've never experienced traveling day and night. There's no rush!"
Nangong Min was also anxious. The Qianxi border was of great importance, and Bai Li's family was still there...
"Major General, we are running low on rations. We need to buy more in time."
The cook in the kitchen came to report, and Nangong Min responded, "I know."
I opened the map by torchlight and found the nearest county town. I discovered that it would take at least one day to get there, and two days to go back and forth.
"Otherwise, I'll take a small team to buy food, and you guys can continue to move forward!"
Ji Huanan looked at the map and pointed to a narrow path. He said, "Our team can take this path to the county town. It's half a day faster than taking the official road. A round trip will be a whole day faster. We can even catch up with you after buying food."
