Everyone looked calm, turned around and walked towards the ship in an orderly manner.
It was as if they were not embarking on ships bound for the battlefield, but on the road home.
"General," the staff hurried over and handed a letter: "I just received the news from Inoue Sanyu."
"The letter said that the Yunchui Empire has sent troops to support Baekje. The general leading the army is called Xiao Zheng, and his ancestors were once granted the title of Duke."
snort!
Tokugawa Musashi snorted and did not answer the letter.
"What a bunch of damn pirates!"
"If he hadn't led people to make trouble on the east coast of Yunchui, that fatuous old man like Emperor Changxing wouldn't have made up his mind to support the peninsula so quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The staff nodded, "Although Inoue did not obey the general's orders, his heart is still towards our Yamato. No, he just realized something was wrong, and he quickly sent the news back."
"Tanaka, remember your identity." Tokugawa Musashi looked at him deeply, "You are my staff."
Tanaka was startled, and quickly lowered his head deeply: "Yes! I will remember it."
Tokugawa Musashi nodded and rubbed his throat that had just become hoarse.
Tanaka was smart and quickly gave him a glass of water.
"The smell of this water..." Tokugawa Musashi smelled it, and his face became even more ugly.
What he said before was not an exaggeration.
I really can’t stay on this island any longer.
"General," Tian Zhong hesitated, "Yunchui's land is vast, rich in resources, and there are many soldiers and generals. They sent troops to support Baekje. Should we first send envoys to Xingji City to explain the situation to Emperor Changxing?"
Baekje can send a princess to marry him, and their Japanese pirates also have princesses.
"You can try it." Tokugawa Musashi smiled coldly, "But the princess's marriage is of no use except delaying the process. In the end, it still depends on the performance on the battlefield."
The staff nodded in agreement: "That's what the general said."
Tokugawa Musashi ignored Tanaka's flattery and continued: "It is indeed a trouble for Yun Chui to send troops, but we don't need to worry too much."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked to the west.
His tone was a little erratic, as if he was trying to convince himself.
"Baekje is not Yunchui's core interest. The reason why Emperor Changxing sent troops to support him is, firstly, because Baekje is its traditional vassal state, and secondly, for the emperor's own face. Thirdly,"
"It's all that damn Inoue Sanyu's fault!"
Tokugawa Musashi severely scolded Inoue Sanyu and those pirates.
He continued: "We are now in a desperate situation. Whether Yun Chuijian accepts the marriage or not, helps Baekje or not, we have only one way, and that is to go west. And there is no turning back."
"Secondly, although Yunchui is big, he is still suffering from all kinds of diseases. The most important thing is that they do not have the belief to fight to the death for Baekje."
"As long as our soldiers are determined to kill themselves and kill the Yunchui people who sent troops to Baekje, there is a 90% chance that Emperor Changxing will recall them to his homeland."
Tian Zhongcheng was sincerely convinced: "Congratulations, General!"
Ren Ning, who was far away in the west, didn't know what was going on in the east.
They rested for less than half a month and finally sorted out most of the important things.
At this time, a soldier ran over.
"General. The big head said that he found a strange piece of clothing among Langston's jewelry."
"Oh?" Ren Ning was curious: "What kind of weird method?"
Xiao Bing described the appearance of the clothes.
"It looks unremarkable and smells nothing. We have also tried various anti-scout methods and still found nothing wrong."
"But this piece of clothing is placed among jewelry and neatly folded."
"So Datou felt very strange."
Ren Ning became interested, "Let's go, take me to see it."
Among the many jewelry boxes, one box was lifted out alone.
Standing next to him was the cheerful Gu Datou.
"Old Ren, I remember that you liked messy things when we were in the fortress. I paid attention to it and found this piece of clothing."
"Thank you for your hard work." Ren Ning patted him on the shoulder: "Open it and take a look."
"Be careful, there's a lot of dust." Gu Datou said, opening the box.
The box was filled with dirty gold and silver jewelry, but Ren Ning didn't even look at it, his eyes fell on the gray clothes above.
Goldfinger!
Ren Ning's eyes lit up.
Green value 40.
This is good stuff.
Because Ren Ning didn't have to charge into battle, he gave Lei Er a breast shield made of pure steel plates.
It was specially given to him by Wei Junqian before departure.
Valley oyster
It is said that it is a good thing that the Starfall Legion spent a lot of money to build.
Ren Ning knows the goods.
Judging from the level of craftsmanship in this era, that breast shield is definitely a rare treasure and something that can save your life.
But for such a baby, the green value is only 25.
But what are you going to do with the clothes in front of you?
Ren Ning picked it up and looked around.
Just an ordinary piece of clothing.
He put it on and tried it on, and it fit him quite well.
The clothes are not thick and do not seem to have any effect on keeping out the cold. The fabric is just common silk, and there is no fire-proof, knife-proof or virus-proof...
After a long while, Gu Datou felt a little embarrassed and said, "Old Ren, it looks like just ordinary clothes. So much so that you even came here..."
Ren Ning's time is precious, and he must think about his actions every second.
It's not like Gu Datou, who goes to bed after training and trains again after sleeping.
"It's okay. I'll take it back and study it carefully." Ren Ning patted Gu Datou on the shoulder. "If you find anything interesting or weird in the future, remember to tell me. I like this kind of thing."
Return to your tent.
Ren Ning looked through it for a while, but still didn't find anything wrong.
Zhui Feng had just gone out for a walk, and when he saw his master, he leaned down.
Ren Ning's eyes lit up.
The clothes in his hands suddenly turned black when Zhui Feng came closer.
Color changing clothes?
Or called camouflage clothing.
Ren Ning was overjoyed. He had such a disguise in his previous life.
Sometimes the enemy does not have a heat sensor, so even if he passes by, he may not notice someone ambushing him.
He tried it quickly.
Sure enough, when the clothes were placed on the ground, they turned khaki again soon after.
What a good thing.
Ren Ning was not surprised either.
There are chameleons in this world, and he even found one in the bushes around Kailun a few days ago.
I just don’t know how that fat guy Langston came up with such a piece of clothing.
But it seemed that he just regarded the clothes as an interesting toy and put them away in the box when he got tired of playing with them.
It was actually cheaper for Ren Ning.
A few more days passed.
Under the escort of Arun Youmeng and others, Matthew's deputies continued on the trade route to the grassland royal court with some camels and goods.
Officially recruiting people who are willing to come and settle in Xinkailun.
Matthew led Ren Ning and his party northward, into the vast desert of no return.
After being bored, the group started chatting.
"When I was young, I was too naive," Matthew pointed at himself, "I always thought that if I didn't make a sound, I would be a blockbuster."
"So I secretly took the slaves into the Desert of No Return, trying to find a faster and better trade route." He spread his hands, "The result..."
"Lost?" Lei Er smiled.
"That's right!" Matthew said with helplessness on his face, "When we found out we were lost, we didn't have much water and food with us. Everyone's heart dropped."
"I didn't want to spin around, and everyone's eyes lit up. Guess what I saw?"
"What did you see?" Lei Er continued to sing with him with great interest.
hehe.
Matthew's face was full of joy, "Maybe God opened our eyes and allowed us to see a sea."
As a result, they rushed over excitedly and discovered that this was not a sea, but a lake.
And there are white flowers everywhere around the lake, covered with thick layers of salt.
"Such a huge lake has never been discovered by anyone else?" Lei Er asked.
"No," Matthew shook his head: "Every once in a while, the little one will transport one or two bags of coarse salt, and then you know..."
But he never found any trace of other humans around the salt lake.
"I hope the salt lake has not been affected by the big dust storm of the past few days."
Ren Ning shook his head: "No."
The conditions for the formation of salt lakes are quite harsh and can be destroyed by a sandstorm. That would have long since perished in the long river of time.
