"Your Majesty, they are coming from the west. We don't know if they are from the Qin Empire, but they look very powerful!"
"What should I do?" The king was completely panicked at this moment. He quickly threw away the beautiful woman beside him and even had the idea of escaping.
"Are they going to attack us?"
"I don't know. We only know that a large army arrived outside the city. We came to report it immediately, but they didn't seem to have any intention of attacking!"
King Niya was stunned for a moment. He didn't care about that. Now such a large army appeared before him. He was afraid that they really wanted to attack them. In that case, he had to do everything he could to deal with it.
When he thought of this, he immediately stood up and shouted loudly, "Release the snakes on them! Force them to retreat!"
"I don't believe that the snakes in our Niya country will not be afraid."
Listening to the king's words, the minister under his command was also hesitant. After all, they had a large army with tens of thousands of soldiers and could easily flatten their city.
If the king did this, would he anger the other party and end up in an awkward situation for both parties?
"Your Majesty, I haven't asked him why yet. Maybe he's just passing by?"
"How could he just be passing by?"
"The army of tens of thousands of people is coming from the west. Maybe they are here to destroy us. Oh my God, when did we have such a powerful army around us?"
…
At this time, Lu Yun and our army were standing outside the city. The method was very simple, which was to borrow some food from their small country to support them to go to the grassland.
He still underestimated the food and fodder carried by the army. It seemed sufficient at the moment, but they roughly estimated that if they could not reach the grassland, they would really starve.
At this moment, a large number of poisonous snakes suddenly appeared outside the city of Niya. These snakes looked very small, but they were very fast, and there was a very conspicuous red line on their backs.
It's obvious that this snake is very poisonous. If it bites you, you will probably die instantly.
At this moment, their army was stunned and retreated hurriedly. Seeing this, Lu Yun quickly joined Ye Jiajia and the others to chop the poisonous snakes!
I have to say that these poisonous snakes are very fast. Ordinary videos really can't react in time. Even if the snake is chopped to death, its head can still move, and it can even leap up and bite people.
While resisting these poisonous snakes, they quickly lit torches and then used the flames to drive away the poisonous snakes.
Fortunately, these snakes are afraid of fire, otherwise they would be really helpless.
"They are somewhat hostile towards us. We haven't even expressed our intentions, but they are determined to attack us!"
"Yueyao, you and Jiajia go into the city and find their king. Explain the situation in detail. We won't go in. Stay outside and camp where you are."
"I said we just want to borrow food or we can exchange it. After all, we still have some gold and silver treasures on us."
"good!"
As grandmasters, the two of them were not afraid of these poisonous snakes. What's more, the city of Niya was very small, much shorter than ordinary cities, so they could easily fly over it.
After arriving in the city, they moved extremely fast, as if they were flying, and soon found the palace where their king was.
Under the attention of some guards and soldiers, he sneaked into the palace and found the king directly.
When the king saw two fairy-like women flying directly into his palace, he was terrified. He knelt on the ground in a hurry, completely lacking the etiquette and dignity of a king.
"Two fairies, I don't know how I have offended you."
"Are you going to kill me? Who are you? Why are you coming from the west?"
Zhao Yueyao explained coldly, "We don't want to kill you, nor do we show any hostility towards you. We just appeared outside your city."
"But you did a very bad thing. You actually wanted to kill us and released poisonous snakes. But your poisonous snakes are useless."
The king nodded repeatedly. He didn't expect that the poisonous snake was of no use to them, but instead deepened their hatred for him.
"Then I wonder what you two and your army are going to do?"
"We come from the West and are heading to the Eastern Continent. You can consider us Qin people or Han people."
"Daqin? Are you from Daqin?"
"Shouldn't it be coming from the east?"
"We can also come from the west!"
"I'm passing through your place just to borrow some food and supplies, or to exchange them. We have a lot of gold, silver and treasures here."
After hearing what the two said, the king finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he also hated himself for being stupid, as he almost offended such a huge army!
He was really scared just now, so he did this. This was not his intention!
…
An hour later.
The two women hurried back, and Lu Yun also went forward eagerly to ask.
"Well? Did the king agree?"
"The king has agreed to lend us food or even give us food directly. He just hopes they won't destroy this small country. After all, they have a small population, and with only this one city-state, destroying it would be like destroying the entire nation."
"They also explained that the Daqin had passed through their area before, and they had great respect for the Daqin."
"Really?" Lu Yun suddenly realized. It seemed that he had to admit that the oasis marked on the parchment was indeed correct, but it had slowly changed its appearance over time.
"Okay, once we've borrowed the food, we'll set off immediately! I'll definitely repay you later!"
"No, they said they were willing to surrender!"
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment. He didn't have such an idea at the moment. This was a small country with a small population. In his eyes, it didn't play a big role.
Making them surrender would only add to the burden. Of course, if the Han Empire could be taken down one day, then this oasis and these two small countries would become a bridge connecting the western continent.
By then, this place will become a very prosperous season. After all, traveling on the ocean is still somewhat dangerous, but with a route on land, it can naturally carry more people and goods.
After borrowing food, they set off quickly and arrived at the country of Wu along the river. They also had weak combat effectiveness and few people.
However, Lu Yun didn't think too much about it and borrowed a little bit of food from them. The people of Wu were actually willing to surrender.
In this way, we followed the river to its end and finally came to the endless grassland. The green grass on the grassland was so dense that it covered their ankles.
Lu Yun was very excited and shouted loudly: "He's back! He's really back!"
