Zheng Quchi saw that the camp, which had been huddled and sleeping in the darkness, suddenly seemed to be awakened. Fires blazed up, making it as bright as day. A group of soldiers rushed out of each tent, put on their armor, and equipped themselves with weapons, and assembled at the drill ground with a "clattering sound".
This unusual situation made Zheng Quchi feel puzzled.
What exactly happened?
The mobilization of the three armies must mean that something extraordinary has happened.
Zheng Quchi lay in wait in the shadows for about half an hour. Then, a line of burly soldiers emerged from the village gate, forming a fiery dragon that spread outwards, as if they were about to hunt for prey.
She finally got the perfect opportunity to leave. At the very end of the line, she proudly displayed her military medic's travel pass. The sentries and guards, preoccupied with the battle at the front, paid no attention to a military medic who had infiltrated the ranks.
In this way, Zheng Quchi left the camp without attracting anyone's attention.
The military doctor said that he had prepared a secret dwelling in the mountains years ago, which contained food and water, so that she could hide there temporarily for a few days. He would come to find her again after things calmed down.
She was unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain, but with the help of the military doctor's map, she avoided dangerous outposts and headed straight into the mountains.
She wasn't told to hide elsewhere, because a stranger like her would easily be noticed when entering a rural or urban area.
The journey into the mountains was difficult, especially the steep night path. She found that her strength was gradually running out, so she took out the century-old ginseng that the army doctor had given her, took a bite, and slowly chewed it before swallowing it.
The military doctor said that her body had been hollowed out and needed to be filled with highly nourishing substances, and this old ginseng was just right.
Pulling her cloak tighter to keep warm, she bent over and slowly walked up the mountain. When she reached the halfway point, she turned her head to the side, and the icy mountain wind stung her skin.
She saw, beyond the rugged, deep valley, near that winding, majestic city, flickering firelight, clashing swords and spears, the neighing of horses and the shouts of men, as if two groups were engaged in a fierce battle...
Who exactly is Julu Kingdom fighting against?
——
When Yang Gu heard the urgent battle report from the front lines, he was stunned.
"What did you say? Yuwen Sheng has led his men to attack?"
"Yes, General. He ordered the craftsmen to build a bridge overnight and led his army from the natural barrier toward our Fenggu Sand City."
Where have we marched to?
The scout said in a deep voice, "We will arrive at Wind Valley Sand City in a quarter of an hour!"
