"Follow the army?"
Chen Jing grabbed these two words and raised his eyebrows to ask.
"Surely there is an army?"
Yu Huanzhen nodded, with a more serious expression: "Well, it's very large, a barracks built around an oasis."
"There are five people living in one tent, about a thousand people."
"Tent?" Chen Jing raised his eyebrows and asked whether the "thousands" referred to soldiers or tents.
Yu Huanzhen said: "Tent."
Chen Jing's brows furrowed.
More than a thousand tents, that means at least five thousand soldiers? Even if logistics accounts for half, that's still more than two thousand.
So many people...
Yu Huanzhen reminded: "There are just many people, but there are no masters."
"I've seen a few large luxurious tents with interiors on the second and third floors, and above that there's a fourth-floor interior, the so-called Japanese goddess."
This is good news.
Chen Jing nodded thoughtfully.
He was really afraid that there would suddenly be many more monks on the sixth floor and above.
"How long does it take to get to Mingsha Mountain?" he asked again.
Yu really thought about it: "It will take about two to three days from now on."
Big and bloated.
Naturally, you can’t get up quickly if you’re in a hurry.
Two or three days...
This time is neither long nor short.
"We won't go out these days." Chen Jing said softly, "Recharge our batteries and wait until they arrive at Mingsha Mountain."
Ji Baizhi shook his head: "Forget it tomorrow, let me go out and take a look the day after tomorrow."
"What if the speed is increased?"
Chen Jing nodded.
In the next few days, they rested in the valley pass.
Chen Jing can already move freely, but his left arm is a little uncomfortable hanging down.
Ji Baizhi said he wanted to take a day off, but he couldn't help it. He went to Mingsha Mountain morning and night to check the news.
With the "Nothing" card in hand, Chen Jing and the others were not too worried.
The army did not come.
But... Mingsha Mountain has not settled down.
Every day, someone would escort a group of Jianghu people and imprison them at the bottom of the pit.
The wails were overwhelming.
Until the early morning of the fourth day.
Ji Baizhi went out to investigate the news and came back faster than before.
"I saw the army." He looked serious. "There are many people."
"Sister Yu, take the cards and save Xiaoyu." Chen Jing stood up and still wanted to hand over this task to the strongest one among them.
Ji Baizhi spoke with a firm expression: "Leave it to me."
Chen Jing was startled.
"I have learned the Jin Ge style," Ji Baizhi explained, "but I have never seen what a real army looks like. Even though it is just a mortal army in a small world, they will have more understanding of my technique."
I'm afraid that this reason won't convince the three of them.
He took a deep breath and continued: "Junior Sister Yu also said that there is no strong opponent in the army, and the strongest one is the Japanese goddess. I saw her at Mingsha Mountain yesterday."
"The only remaining ones are the second floor and the third floor of the interior. Senior Brother Yu and I can handle them."
"You guys are smart enough to think about how to deal with those people and get the secret treasure."
Chen Jing was silent: "Okay, then you go."
Ji Baizhi stood up and handed the "Nothing" sign forward.
Chen Jing looked at him confused.
"I don't need this." Ji Baizhi shook his head with a firm expression, "It's better to stay here with you."
"Come back alive." Chen Jing took the jade token.
Ji Baizhi nodded, smiled brightly, tiptoed, and jumped out.
"Which of you can use this thing?" Chen Jing held the jade sign, "I can't use much of my combat power now."
"Senior brother, take it." Yu Huanzhen said softly.
Chen Jing raised his eyebrows and thought for a while: "Okay, then I'll take it."
"I will go directly to Mingsha Mountain later. We are hiding at the foot of the mountain. When I have the opportunity, I will come down and inform you."
"Or if you find an opportunity, come directly to the mountain."
They agreed.
Chen Jing held the jade plaque tightly and poured in a breath of true energy.
The whole person disappeared in an instant.
He headed towards Mingsha Mountain, approached and climbed up the mountain cautiously.
It's very different from what I saw before.
There was a lot of construction work on the mountain and an altar was built.
The maids and eunuchs were busy making arrangements. They had no cultivation skills. They had been frozen all night yesterday and had been working hard since early morning today without even having a bite to eat.
In the short period of time that Chen Jing took in his surroundings, three of them fainted from exhaustion.
Other maids and eunuchs are still working numbly.
The soldiers looked expressionless as they picked them up and threw them into the pit.
Chen Jing approached the pit again and looked down.
The smell of fishy, mixed pickled food came over him, choking him so much that he almost vomited.
The bottom of the pit is already full, and those who are thrown into it are placed on top of the pile of people.
At the top of the mountain, there is a bright yellow tent.
But Chen Jing didn't dare to get close.
There are two dazzling spiritual lights radiating around the tent, both of which are more dazzling than the spiritual light possessed by the fifth-floor monk in the interior scene.
That should be the monk above the sixth floor of the interior that I heard Yu Huanzhen talk about, but I haven't seen it yet.
His senses told him that approaching would be dangerous.
He didn't wait long either.
There was a noise in the tent, and a middle-aged man who looked ordinary came out.
The spiritual light on his body was dim, and his true energy was only a meager amount.
Wearing clothes that were not luxurious, he opened his arms greedily and breathed in the dry, turbid air of the desert.
Chen Jing got as close as possible within a safe range and could barely hear his words.
"How are you preparing?" His voice wasn't very pleasant.
"Time is in a hurry." Suddenly a person with a ghostly figure appeared behind him, with a hawk-nosed rat face, "I just grabbed some people from nearby and gathered more than three hundred people."
"If you are further away and fail to catch up, everyone will be wiped out."
"It's just... Tianfang Kingdom seems to have heard some rumors, and now it's making a big fuss."
The middle-aged man sneered: "The small country of Tianfang, wait until I connect to the upper world, invite the immortals to come down to earth, and destroy it as soon as possible."
"That's still more than six hundred."
The rat-faced man whispered: "General Su seems to be rebellious. There are exactly seven hundred people under his command in Chongzi Camp."
"Then it's him." The middle-aged man nodded decisively.
He paused and looked into the distance: "Will those five silverfish disturb our plan?"
"They are all little masters, they don't have that much ability." The rat-faced man shook his head, "I also followed His Majesty's wishes and arranged patrols on the left and right sides of the mountain."
"Even if you can get close with the Wu Kong Card, it's only one person."
"With the abilities of Mr. Qian and I, we will definitely not let His Majesty make any mistakes."
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction: "Where are the Beifu troops? They should have arrived last night!"
"There are still six or seven miles to go, and about an hour." The rat-faced man replied.
"Hurry up." The middle-aged man frowned and waved his hand: "When this matter is over, I will punish them."
The rat-faced man responded.
at this time.
Interior view: A monk on the fourth floor rushes over in a panic, looking at the middle-aged man from a distance, and keeps winking at the rat-faced man.
The middle-aged man snorted and raised his hand: "Is there anything you want to say that I still don't know?"
The monk came over, knelt down, and said in a panicked voice: "Your Majesty, uncle, someone is attacking the Beifu Army."
