Chapter 716 Shiro-kun
"What about my fourth brother?"
Liao Jiu shook his head. "Then I really don't know. Silangjun is notoriously elusive. According to gossip, Silangjun has a wide range of interests. When there are no wars to fight, he leads his men to dig for gold in the mountains, search for gems in the sea, and explore ancient tombs and mechanisms. Only a small part of the Blood Battle Army's expenses is provided by the court. The majority of them are self-sufficient. Because of Silangjun's special hobby of treasure hunting, he has no shortage of money..."
Jiang Lianzhu was speechless.
At this moment, the image of Silangjun appeared in her mind. For some reason, he was a golden man.
The kind that is covered in gold.
Is he perhaps off treasure-hunting in some secret valley? He doesn't know what's going on outside, so why isn't he coming out to support him yet?
Nine out of ten times.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others!
It’s difficult!!
Soon, General Jiang hurried over. "My Lords, what is the matter with summoning me here? I also have an urgent military situation to report."
"Speak." Jiang Lianzhu said concisely.
"The spies reported that the coalition forces of five nations outside our city are now heading towards Richeng. They probably can't take us here, so they turned to attack Richeng. The spies said that they are marching very fast and will definitely arrive before noon today!" General Jiang was worried.
Jiang Lianzhu raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Don't worry. Sun City has 40,000 bloody soldiers led by Erlang Jun. If they go there, they will definitely not return."
General Jiang was sweating with anxiety again.
"Sir, the Blood Battle Army is no longer in Sun City. They've already marched to Cloud City. They repelled a wave of enemy troops in Sun City and were preparing to come to our Moon City. I heard that our Moon City is out of danger, so they're now heading to Cloud City for support. This is the expedited military report they just sent us! It was written by Erlang Jun himself and asked me to pass it on to you..."
Jiang Lianzhu's eyelids twitched subconsciously.
This bad premonition began to appear again.
Open the letter.
He was a bit like Erlangjun. He first apologized for not coming to Yuecheng as promised, which frightened Yuecheng. He explained the situation, praised Jiang Lianzhu and her husband for their bravery, and asked about their health. Then, when Yuecheng was no longer at risk, he suddenly received a letter for help from Yuncheng, so he went to Yuncheng. After Yuncheng defeated the enemy, he would come to meet them again and apologize.
Jiang Lianzhu handed the letter to Liao Jiu again.
The two looked at each other, wondering what this Erlangjun wanted to do.
He led the Blood Battle Army running around everywhere, not supporting those who should have, and deliberately avoiding the main force of the enemy?
Go support Yuncheng, that's right.
He could have left a part of the Blood Battle Army behind and taken half of the people over, but he didn't do that. He led the entire 40,000-strong army himself.
Yuncheng is farther away from Richeng and Yuecheng.
Once I go, when can I come back?
By the time he comes back, Jiang Lianzhu and her troops who set out from the capital will probably have arrived.
"Let's go to Richeng first, and then go find Erlangjun to see what tricks he plays!" If it really doesn't work, Jiang Lianzhu will take back the military power in his hands in her capacity as the daughter of the King of War and the Right Regent.
I explained this to General Jiang.
Liao Jiu and his wife left on a Golden Eagle.
Before leaving, Jiang Lianzhu asked Zhou Yuan and others to go and meet the large group behind so that the group could move faster.
The remaining hot weapons will be temporarily left in Yuecheng.
It’s too late to drag them to Richeng now.
The key is that there is not much left to use.
***
Somewhere in a deserted area.
Vast and boundless.
There is no sign of life in the desert, not even a single weed or tree, only yellow sand all over the sky and ruins half covered by the sand. It can be vaguely seen that this was once a bustling and prosperous ancient capital.
Suddenly, the yellow sand began to flow, differently from the flow caused by the wind.
It tilted towards a point, and soon a deep pit appeared.
The first person to come out from inside.
He was tall, cold, and clear-headed, with a layer of sand and dust covering his facial features, but it did not affect his appearance. His long eyelashes were covered with dust, forming two light and dark shadows.
From behind him, a lot of people came out one after another. They all looked the same, covered in dust and sand. It was unknown how long they had been in the soil, and there was a strong smell of earth.
However, everyone was carrying large and small bags, and the harvest seemed to be very large.
Their faces were filled with smiles of success.
"Lord Silang, there are so many things in this ancient desert city. Unfortunately, we only have a few hundred people and can't take out much. We didn't bring more brothers in. Otherwise, it would be wonderful if we could empty out all the valuables from down there." A young lieutenant said sadly.
There are so many treasures below that it’s dizzying.
When I have nothing to do, I follow Silangjun on adventures and treasure hunts. Today is the first time I have seen so many things that I cannot take away or get, and I feel it is a pity.
Another young officer said, "It's okay, let's mark it and have someone come get it next time."
Then someone interrupted him, "Are you stupid? Most of these ancient desert cities are mobile and can't possibly be in the same place. You can find them today, but you won't know where they are tomorrow. Look around here, do you think they look familiar? This isn't the place where we went down to..."
The dusty young general suddenly realized, "That's right! If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. When I went down to the city, where were all the brothers guarding outside? I didn't see any of them."
Everyone started talking.
It's like walking into the depths of the desert.
How to get back is a problem.
Their master, Si Langjun, took out something like a positioning instrument and shook it left and right a few times.
"Go left."
He took the lead and walked forward, and the others followed.
No one doubted the ability of their master. Even if he said that the only way out was to jump off a cliff, everyone would follow him to jump off the cliff.
"How long have we been out this time?"
"It took almost a month. It took half a month to find the desert city according to the map, and another half a month to enter the city. As for the return journey, it depends on how far the young master leads us. It's hard to estimate."
"We have to hurry up and get out."
Silangjun stopped talking. His handsome brows, covered in dust, tightened a little.
He always felt like something was going on and he had to get out quickly.
"Okay, master." They accelerated as soon as they were told to, and galloped across the desert like the wind.
It's not much slower than riding a horse.
***
Between Sun City and Moon City, there is a very difficult place to walk on called the Cliff Slope.
There is a natural canyon here, which is covered with rain and fog all year round and is full of methane.
When marching or fighting, one must be extremely careful when passing through here.
At this time, on the edge of the cliff, the coalition army of five countries coming from Yuecheng had just passed by. Gu Yu and his son, along with a few close confidants, were temporarily guarding here.
They all covered their mouths and noses with cloth strips and poured things into the valley. After pouring them in, more fog and dust came out of the natural canyon, and it was foggy and bright green.
