Under the magma bubbles that exploded from time to time, there was the imperial liquid that Chi Chaos wanted to obtain day and night.
So close yet so far out of reach.
"Just wait, if I don't come to get you within two years, whoever doesn't come will be my grandson!" Chi Chaan made a gesture of reaching out for the magma.
Chi Chaan spent a night on the mountainside of Yantu volcano. When he saw that the snow at the bottom of the mountain had stopped, Chi Chaan was about to go down the mountain.
Suddenly, the sound of assembly horns sounded from the bottom of the mountain.
"What's wrong?" Chi Chaan got on his horse and ran down the mountain without stopping.
"Drive!" Chi Chaan slammed the riding whip on the horse's butt. The horse screamed in pain and ran a little faster.
Chi Chaan returned to the lower mountain military camp and saw Zhou Tianze and his party ready to go.
"It's just you! Return to the team quickly." Zhou Tianze ordered.
As soon as Chi Chao returned to the team, the entire team began to march towards the military headquarters, where they were going to listen to the marshal's orders.
Chi Chaan let Old Man Li ride his horse, while he carried Old Man Li's iron pot on his back and followed the team at the back.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Zhou Tianze's eyes, and his doubts about Chi Chaan disappeared.
Chi Chaan followed behind while talking to communications soldier Lin Chen about the current situation of bandits at the border.
There are two major bandit leaders at the border, one is the ghost sword Mo Wenlong, and the other is the clay sword Inu Shanya. Both of them are practitioners in the master realm.
Each of them has about a hundred men and horses, and each has one or two practitioners, whose realm is no more than the intermediate level of proficiency. Ni Jian Shang talks about morality. As long as the kidnapped people hand over their money, their lives will be safe.
But that Mo Wenlong is different. He does all kinds of evil, burning, killing, looting, and especially loves to rape young girls. So far, more than ten girls from Guihuang have been kidnapped in the thieves' den for his sexual pleasure.
This man is on Chi Chao's must-kill list and has done many evil things. He wants to eliminate this scourge for Gui Guo.
In just one day, they reached their destination, the military headquarters.
The scene at that time was so spectacular, 50,000 people lined up neatly on the school field, dotted with stars.
"General, what tasks will we be assigned?" Chi Chao stepped forward and asked.
Zhou Tianze looked at the army and said, "We used to transport grain and grass. This year may be the same as in previous years."
"You rest on the spot, I will report." Zhou Tianze ordered the entire army to remove their armor and rest.
Chi Chaan and his party took off their armor and joined the 50,000-person formation.
From a distance, Chi Chaan saw a familiar person standing on the general stage.
Yu Wenyu was wearing a set of shining silver armor, and his beautiful waist-length hair had been cut off long ago, leaving only ear-length hair.
At this moment, Yu Wenyu is standing respectfully beside the coach's chair. Who is the coach?
The coach is of course the God of War of the Yuwen family - Yu Wenbo, who is also the eldest brother of Yu Wenyu.
"Yan Tu came down to the military camp and Zhou Tianze led his troops to gather." Zhou Tianze paid homage to Yu Wenbo and handed over the military talisman.
"Yes." Yu Wenbo nodded and did not look at Zhou Tianze after that.
"Coach Yuwen, I am late. Please atone for your sins!" At this time, another person stepped onto the general stage.
That person was the culprit who leaked Chi Chaan's whereabouts, King Guiqiu of Ningling.
When Zhou Tianze came to pay homage to Yu Wenbo, he did not stand up to greet him. King Guiqiu of Ningling was late and did not arrive at the specified time. Yu Wenbo not only did not blame him, but stood up to greet him.
"You're welcome, Prince Ningling. Please sit down." Yu Wenbo pointed to the seat on his left and said enthusiastically.
Only the deputy commander was qualified to sit in that position, but Prince Ningling sat on it without any courtesy, as if it belonged to him.
"I wonder what the boss called me for?" King Ningling asked.
Since being demoted to the border by Emperor Gui, the luxurious life of Ningling King Guiqiu has not changed much, except for having fun in a different place.
"I will give you twelve people, plus your army, to transport food and grass for our army." Yu Wenbo said.
It's not too late for Guiqiu to be happy without having to go to the battlefield in person.
"Coach, this doesn't seem appropriate. Food and grass are the cornerstone of the entire army, so it's better to leave them to reliable people." Zhou Tianze's suggestion at this time was tantamount to looking for trouble.
"Who am I? It turns out he is the illegitimate son of the previous head of the Zhou family. Do you have any right to speak here?" Guiqiu looked at Zhou Tianze with a mocking look on his face. "What qualifications do you have to stand here and get out!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Yu Wenbo comforted Gui Qiu, and at the same time rebuked Zhou Tianze: "Zhou Tianze, why don't you go down as soon as your Majesty asks you to!"
"Coach..."
"Go down, or else you will be dealt with by military law!" The reply was so ruthless, and the friendship between colleagues of more than ten years was not as good as a noble autumn.
"Yes!" Zhou Tianze left angrily.
"Little sister, you assist King Ningling in transporting food and make sure it is delivered on time." Yu Wenbo ordered to Yu Wenyu beside him, "This is your first mission, so you must complete it."
"Yes, coach!" Yu Wenyu replied seriously.
Seeing Zhou Tianze returning to the team with an angry look on his face, Chi Chaan immediately went to ask what happened.
"He's not the humane commander! He actually placed the important task of transporting grain and grass on a man with a clever mind. Prince Ningling." Zhou Tianze cursed loudly, "We will definitely be killed by that bitch when we go down to the military camp! This bitch will not stop us. Even a gentleman from Sword Tower can betray us, so how can he still take us soldiers who are working hard at the border in his eyes?"
"General, calm down!" Chi Chaan was overjoyed after hearing Zhou Tianze's words.
If something unexpected happened while transporting food, he could take advantage of the situation and kill King Ningling to avenge himself.
"General, do you have a mask? I don't want anyone to see my face in the next period of time." Chi Chaan thought again that the two people knew him and would definitely recognize him.
"Huh?" Zhou Tianze looked at Chi Chaan and said, "You'd better tell me what the situation is?"
"The female player next to the coach knows me. We have some grudges. I don't want her to recognize me." Chi Chaan told the truth.
At this time, Zhou Tianze thought that Chi Chaan was from Yongcheng, and the woman next to Yu Wenbo must be the daughter of the Yuwen family. Chi Chaan has a lot of tricks up his sleeve when it comes to offending the daughter of the Yuwen family.
"Boy, you have good luck with women. First, you are a wild girl, and then you are the daughter of Duke Yuwen." Zhou Tianze joked.
"I was young and frivolous. I regret it now when I think about it."
"I am so envious of you for being so lucky when you are only sixteen or seventeen years old." Zhou Tianze sighed, "Follow me."
Chi Chaan followed Zhou Tianze back to the team, and Zhou Tianze took out a black iron ghost mask with fangs from the wooden box that Lin Chen was carrying.
Zhou Tianze threw the mask to Chi Chao, "This was once used by Chi Gui, one of the nine murderers in the Huangguo Prison. I took it off and kept it after I killed him, and I have kept it until now. I can give it to you now."
"Thank you, General!" Chi Chaan put on the mask, which just fit his face shape.
The mask blocked the lower half of Chi Chaan's face, and with the helmet on, even Hou Yi, who had excellent eyesight, could hardly recognize him without looking carefully.
The mask does not hinder Chi Chaos breathing. At the same time, as Chi Chaos breathes, the fangs of the mask open and close, which is really scary.
"From now on, please call me by my code name - Ghost Ya."
"Well, it suits you very well." Zhou Tianze said, "But aren't you afraid that she will recognize your sword skills?"
Chi Chaan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I only learned that after leaving her."
After the army was assembled, Yu Wenbo asked the combat troops to set off first, and the food and grass could not be escorted until later. This is completely inconsistent with what military strategists say, when troops and horses are not moved, food and grass go first.
After lunch, Yu Wenyu came to take over them with military orders. As Zhou Tianze expected, all of them were arranged to escort the grain and grass.
When Yu Wenyu passed by Chi Chaan, he didn't recognize him.
It seems that this mask can still be used in the future. Chi Chaan thought in his heart.
Yu Wenyu walked back and forth in front of their group several times, laughing sarcastically from time to time.
"I feel so shamed for leading you losers!" Yu Wenyu opened his mouth and insulted Zhou Tianze and others.
Hou Yi looked disdainful towards Yu Wenyu at first. It was really shameless to recognize a woman as a superior.
But Yu Wenyu's words completely ignited Hou Yi's anger. Hou Yi stood up directly and said loudly: "A woman should stay at home to support her husband and raise her children, and why should she go out to fight!"
Chi Chaan looked ashamed, and Yu Wenyao clearly wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and establish his authority. Hou Yi couldn't see through it, so he could only be the chicken that was killed.
"You don't accept it?" Yu Wenyu stood in front of Hou Yi, his eyes ignited with fighting spirit, "Then take action, I will beat you until you accept it!"
"I don't even bother to take action against you!" Hou Yi mocked, "If you cry and go to the coach after losing, I'll be ashamed!"
"Shuangang!" Yu Wenyu took out the sword in his hand and cut Hou Yi's neck without hesitation.
Hou Yi did not expect that Yu Wenyu would suddenly take action. He was very relaxed at this time and had no precautions at all.
Hou Yi regretted it because he was about to die.
"Dang!" Chi Chaan took action instantly and placed the iron sword on Hou Yi's neck, thus saving Hou Yi's life.
"Sir, please forgive me! We only need you to obey." Chi Chaan thrust his sword into the ground and half-knelt on the ground. This is the most noble military ceremony in the Gui Kingdom.
Because of the mask, Chi Chuan's voice was hoarse, like a novice playing the erhu randomly.
"You know what's going on." Yu Wenyu took back his sword, "Why are you wearing this?"
"My subordinate's face was destroyed during the battle, which made me sick to see, so I put on the mask." Chi Chaan replied.
"Your sword is very fast. There are people like you at the border, so we can stick to it. You are very good." Yu Wenjiao praised Chi Chaan. After killing the chicken to scare the monkey, he wooed the monkey.
Yu Wenyu thought that this would gain Chi Chaan's favor, but in Chi Chaan's eyes, these were just tricks.
"Okay, rest as soon as possible. At three quarters in the afternoon, set off for Luoshi Gorge on time." Yu Wenyu issued the order, and then pointed at Chi Chaan, "You, follow me and be my adjutant."
Chi Chaan looked at Zhou Tianze, who nodded. Only then did Chi Chaan follow Yu Wenyu's back.
After Chi Chaan followed Yu Wenyu out of the team, he went directly to the military camp's meeting room. There they were discussing the route to take to transport grain.
King Guiqiu of Ningling was also among the discussants, and he advocated taking the fastest official route. Because he still has the beautiful concubine brought from Yongcheng in his tent, and he is still waiting to enjoy it. Furthermore, he can quickly return to the protective umbrella of the military. King Guiqiu of Ningling is still very greedy for life.
Chi Chaan stood next to Yu Wenyu, listening carefully to the battle plan of Yu Wenbo and others. At the same time, he also kept the terrain sandbox on the table in mind.
Written for the epidemic, remember to wear a mask when going out.
