Later, Wei Ling received a message from Qingfu, conveying to him the general's follow-up military orders.
The focus of the message was to warn Welling not to take risks. If he really wanted to go to Pat State, he could form a team with warlocks from other empires, or accompany him with the temporarily formed Western Expeditionary Army.
Temporarily deploying elite sergeants, forming the Western Expeditionary Army, appointing a commander, and providing supporting supplies and other materials, it would take at least three days.
Lord Qinghui means to walk slower and accompany the army.
Welling's reply was simple:
"Thank you, sir. I'm just going to have a look. If it doesn't go well, I'll return to avoid risks!"
In fact, Welling had already thought that once the Empire's Western Expeditionary Army was formed, it would fly directly to Pat State in large vehicles. Even if he returned to the county immediately, he would not be able to join the Western Expeditionary Army.
First of all, he is only a reserve member, not even a regular army, so naturally he is not an elite.
It was absolutely not his intention to ask Qinghui to come forward again.
Secondly, in the battle of Iasi, the war situation was very changeable and did not evolve according to the historical routine. So many children of powerful families have basically not shown off.
This resulted in the fact that their efforts in the early stages of competition had not yet yielded sufficient returns, mainly because the command had not yet given them a stage to showcase their capabilities.
The Western Expedition Army is the best stage for customization.
I can analyze and imagine that Patbon may be an empty city. Does the general know?
Bringing the children of aristocratic families like Wang Xixin and Li Lingyou, using tens of thousands of troops as bodyguards to rob a large military city of the Federation, the results must be rich, and the military achievements must be great, and all participants will have a huge share. This honor, who can not be grateful to the general?
When he thought that the general's seemingly rough and dark face actually had these little calculations, Wei Ling secretly sighed in his heart, he really deserves to be the chief subordinate of Lord Taiwei Wang Kujiu, one of the three princes of the empire!
But there are no simple figures among the top political leaders.
Thinking of this, Wei Ling couldn't help but smile.
The general has paved the way, Li Shibalang, don't miss it.
"Sir, what do you think makes you so happy?"
The news from the guardian came.
Wei Ling's previous expression was heavy and sad, which also made her feel very sad. Seeing Wei Ling's smile, she asked curiously.
Wei Ling left Qingfu's message, the general's follow-up military orders, and his own judgment to the guard.
"Ah, the young master is already very experienced in human relations. If I were to replace him, I would never have thought that the general would have such a clever arrangement. My first reaction was that the general was looking for the Federation to vent his anger because we suffered a lot of casualties. .”
Welling nodded:
"Well, this kind of arrangement will indeed bring this kind of illusion to ordinary officials and sergeants. This is because the general is very sad about the casualties of the imperial sergeants, so Patbon of the Western Expeditionary Army took revenge and vented his anger. , This will make the image of the general more full and... down-to-earth."
The gecko’s pretty eyes were full of smiles:
"It's good for both the empire and myself. It's also good for a wealthy family... It's a pity that the young master has seen through it all. The young master has the potential to be an official..."
Wei Ling smiled and shook his head, making up his mind.
Establishing a successful career is by no means his current pursuit. Finding his origins is the first order of business at the moment, but it is estimated to be a long process.
Under the current situation, integrating into a wealthy family and making use of their extensive network of relationships is the most normal way to start.
In fact, there is another way that I once thought was more reliable, which is to transmit your own genetic sequence and characteristics to the system barrier, and try to compare it with the empire's gene pool to find out the general direction.
However, this idea was later found to be unworkable. According to Welling's screening and search of various information on the barrier system, a problem was discovered.
It is a question whether all the powerful families have such a gene bank. Even if they do, it will inevitably become top secret information, and all kinds of genetic data of their own family will be strictly sealed and not disclosed at all.
Therefore, the gene bank mainly contains general sequence data of poor families and ordinary families.
No one knows whether there are any genetic sequences for the four great families and the eight great families.
Regarding this strange situation, Welling's guess is that the powerful family is worried that once their opponents master their genetic characteristics, they may develop targeted gene-disintegrating drugs or create corresponding targeted attack viruses, which will bring annihilation to the family. disaster.
In this situation, Welling had to give up the idea of searching for it at the genetic level. He could only step into the top and get close to the top in the normal way.
One day, there will be a turning point.
At present, it seems that since the appearance of the Western Expeditionary Army, the necessity of going to Patbon has become smaller. There is a group of elite soldiers like wolves and tigers to avenge the death of the imperial comrades.
Then, go to the front line where the Xixuan Federation was originally formed, go to a few original strongholds to see if there are any survivors, and ask about the situation of the Xixuan warlocks.
Once the decision was made, Wei Ling threw the idea to Shou Gong.
With the guardian around, Wei Ling will have a lot of trouble.
As a ghost-level intelligence, various data collection and analysis, and danger avoidance are naturally integrated into its basic state of survival. Welling only needs to follow the direction guided by the gecko.
The palace guard was naturally happy to serve his young master.
As a supply platform for many years, it has become her habit to constantly scan for any suspicious signs in the surrounding area as the team patrols.
Now that my conditions are better, I don’t need to do anything deliberately. At a glance, I can clearly understand the information of various objects at different distances, including color spectrum, temperature and humidity, wind force and direction...
The mountains slowly rise and are about to leave the plain environment and enter the mountains.
Wei Ling took the time to leave a message for Li Lingyou, including his current location and the target he was going to.
After staying in the staff department for so many days, Welling could clearly see the large amount of data in the battlefield holographic system. Therefore, Welling could clearly understand the more than 100 strongholds of the Xixuan Federation.
Li Lingyou’s reply was very fast, almost within seconds:
"Got it, pay attention to safety and meet up later!"
Wei Ling nodded slightly and shared the information with the guardian.
The mountains and forests are near, and the plains are getting further away.
Unconsciously, the gorgeous sunset has filled the gradually taller mountain forest.
Suddenly looking back, I found that it was already dusk.
June 12, 111 AD, from dawn to dusk, it was such a cruel, cold-blooded and long day.
Wei Ling looked back to the east, and the sight of his comrades struggling to survive under those three large spells, and the piles of Western Demon corpses in the three chasms appeared before his eyes again. He actually felt a touch of tiredness in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little tired. sigh.
The world fell silent again.
Stepping into the increasingly deep mountain forest, the surroundings gradually became gloomy and gloomy.
"Let's find a place to camp. We are not in a hurry. I overlooked something before."
Welling made a more detailed analysis of the gecko:
“Presumably the command of the Xixuan Federation must have guessed that with their entire army annihilated, the empire would pursue them.
Then, they will definitely not give up the initial front line full of strongholds easily, and will definitely not dismantle it for a while. At least this can provide some time for the high-level officials to escape.
The lower-level federal soldiers may not believe that the empire will cross the four major mountains and three major rivers and appear on their side, and they will guard those strongholds honestly.
Therefore, if we go too fast, we will be in danger. "
Shou Gong nodded and agreed with Wei Ling's analysis:
“Only in the northwest, the terrain there is slightly flatter, the natural chasm slows down, and the direction is closer to Yasi County, so we found them so easily last time.
At the same time, the Empire's long-range strikes mainly cover that area, and it is estimated that the Federation's frontline strongholds in that section have been demolished.
Therefore, the most dangerous area is no longer in the northwest. "
"Yes, that's right, so we must go to the southwest stronghold. Although there is danger, there may be rewards."
Welling replied in the affirmative and strolled to a dense bush with a round hole hidden underneath.
A plump and round mountain rabbit, with confused eyes but sleepwalking, walked to Wei Ling's feet.
Willing bowed, grabbed the rabbit's erect ears with his left hand, and lifted it up.
His right hand was raised like a knife, and the palm knife struck it on the side of the ear.
The mountain rabbit lost his life in confusion.
"Leave it to me, Master!"
Wei Ling threw the rabbit to the guard and looked around:
"It's flat and sheltered from the wind, so this is it."
"Okay, sir."
The two found some dry branches and leaves nearby. Welling also used his sword to chop down a pine tree as thick as a bowl, and cut it into short sections for the campfire.
On this flat ground, the two people piled up spare firewood and sat down opposite each other.
"call……"
Shou Gong blew out a breath, which was a small line of fire.
The live fire instantly ignited the firewood, and the warm flame began to beat. The fragrance of rosin filled the surroundings, and the light blue smoke also drifted.
Wei Ling laughed dumbly:
"Shou Gong, if you start the fire like this, will it consume too much energy? Why don't I use a small fire spirit technique?"
The guard had already turned his draped hat behind his back, and his flowery smile looked very lively:
"No, sir, the mountains and plains are full of energy!"
She used her body to throw information, but her hands were not idle.
He took out a small, dark knife from somewhere and gently cut through the skin of the mountain rabbit's abdomen, along with its limbs, all the way to the mountain rabbit's chin.
Then tear open the epidermis to reveal the white subcutaneous fat.
In the blink of an eye, the entire mountain rabbit's fur has fallen off, as if it was originally a coat worn by the rabbit.
The sharp knife cut open the mountain rabbit's abdomen again until it reached the neck.
Hao Jie put her fingers into the mountain rabbit's abdomen, took out all the internal organs, and threw them into a small pit that had been prepared at her feet. She moved her right foot slightly, and the soil beside the pit had completely buried the mountain rabbit's internal organs.
Wei Ling looked a little distracted, and was very impressed by the guard's smooth craftsmanship. He also felt that his method of burying the internal organs of the mountain rabbit to prevent the bloody smell from attracting mutated beasts was very professional.
In a flash of thought, Wei Ling cast a spell.
A thin stream of water flowed above the gecko holding the rabbit, as if there was an invisible faucet there.
"Haha, sir, you don't need to clean this! If it's wet, it will make it difficult to bake!"
"Oh, I never thought about it."
Welling was a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
The gecko wiped off the water droplets on the rabbit, and like a magic trick, he took out each vial from the inside of the black cloak, rotated the cap of the vial, turned the bottle mouth upside down, faced the rabbit inside and out, and shook out a lot of powder.
Salt, chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder, five-spice powder, cumin powder...the powders were evenly distributed on the mountain rabbit meat. The gecko did not forget to give hospice care to the rabbit meat that was full of seasonings, and added a full set of meticulous and thoughtful additions. massage.
Two thin pine branches intertwined to form a cross, holding the mountain rabbit open. The long end of the cross became a hand-holding position.
Then, full of charm and satisfaction, the mountain rabbit tumbles on the side of the flames.
In a moment, the originally white surface oil, baked by the heat radiated by the fire, turned into a sizzling liquid, wrapping the powdery condiments and communicating with the deep muscle layers.
Wei Ling seemed a little unfamiliar with Gong Gong:
"Shou Gong, did you predict that we would sleep on the mountain?
Moreover, your technique of roasting mountain rabbit seems to be as skillful as it has been refined over time..."
"Hehe, Young Master is joking. Ever since I changed my smart body, I have been preparing some emergency supplies. As your maid, do I still need your orders to do this?"
Shou Gong showed a playful smile, his eyes were as bright as morning stars, and looked at Wei Ling:
"Actually, I have always longed for an unfettered life in nature. The martial arts and rivers and lakes of the old era were once my lingering dreams. Back then... forget it, let's not talk about those years.
Sleeping in the mountains at night and roasting hares, such a meaningful thing, has been rehearsed in my mind thousands of times in my past life, but I always thought it was an unattainable dream.
I didn’t expect that this dream would be realized by the young master so quickly..."
The eyes that were as bright as stars were wet.
