Five days later.
Outside the desert of the Western Region.
It's dusty here, the sun is shining brightly, and the air is very dry without a trace of moisture.
This kind of environment makes people very uncomfortable. There are few people around.
Think about it, who would set up their home in such an environment?
Unless forced by life.
At this moment, bursts of neat footsteps sounded from not far away.
Soon, groups of people appeared outside the desert. This was the Khan of the Western Regions, the army sent by Meng Ge Khan to investigate the demon leader of the Western Regions Desert.
At the front of the army, there were two people. The man on the left was Sima Wei, the supervisor of the army, and the man on the right was Xianyu Zhaoyang, the leader of the army.
"General Xianyu, after several days of traveling, we finally arrived in this desert."
"It's just that the road ahead may be more difficult."
Sima Wei looked at the slightly harsh environment ahead and said.
"Sima Jianjun, we who march and fight, how can we say it's hard work?"
"Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, in order to complete Khan's mission, we must move forward without hesitation!"
Xianyu Zhaoyang showed a serious look on his face.
People in the military speak so straightforwardly.
"That's what General Xianyu said."
"What will General Xianyu do next?"
Although Sima Wei already knew the army's route, he still couldn't help but ask, lest there be any problems with Liu Xi's intelligence later.
"Sima Supervisor, before the soldiers and horses move the food and grass, go ahead. The troops in charge of food and grass will go ahead. However, the ones at the front are naturally the spies. If we encounter a sandstorm, we'd better get out of the way as soon as possible."
Xianyu Zhaoyang is also a person who often marches, and he arranges things very properly as soon as he opens his mouth.
Sima Wei nodded.
"You guys come here, I heard about the arrangements."
"..."
Several leaders from General Xianyu Zhaoyang gathered around and began to arrange the next thing.
Sima Wei on the side opened the jade slip without leaving any trace, and the person to contact was naturally Liu Xi.
Because Xianyu Zhaoyang's attention was on the few people around him, he didn't pay attention to Sima Wei's little moves at all.
In fact, even if Xianyu Zhaoyang noticed it, Sima Wei could quickly hide the jade slip with his strength.
On the other side of Sima Wei Yu's slips, Liu Xi heard Xian Yu Zhaoyang's arrangements clearly and without missing a word.
When Xian Yu Zhaoyang's arrangement was completed, Sima Wei also took advantage of the situation to put away the jade slips and ended contact with Liu Xi.
"Sima Supervisor, we are going to enter this desert soon. If you feel unwell, be sure to say hello to me in advance. After all, you often stay in the palace, so you may not be able to bear this kind of suffering."
Xianyu Zhaoyang seemed to be doing Sima Wei a favor, but there was a hint of contempt in his words.
In fact, Xianyu Zhaoyang and Sima Wei had some conflicts in private.
Their official positions in the Western Regions differed by half a level, and Sima Wei was half a level higher than Xianyu Zhaoyang.
Xianyu Zhaoyang felt that he had made countless contributions by leading troops in the war, while Sima Wei was only responsible for some intelligence work in the Western Regions, so he should be very idle. In terms of official rank, he should be below him, but the fact is exactly the opposite. Sima Wei's official position is higher than himself. Half a level higher, which made Xianyu Zhaoyang very dissatisfied.
Because of this matter, Xianyu Zhaoyang had questioned Mengge Khan more than once, but was ignored by Mengge Khan. This made Xianyu Zhaoyang even more dissatisfied with Sima Wei, feeling that Sima Wei was half a level above him just because He often comes into contact with Meng Gehan, and he is the kind of flatterer who rises to power.
On the other side, Sima Wei glanced at Xian Yu Zhaoyang gently after hearing Xian Yu Zhaoyang's words.
snort!
This bastard, dare to mock me? It’s so desperate!
When you enter the place where the Saint is ambush later, I will torture you to death!
Sima Wei was also a little disgusted with Xian Yu Zhaoyang. If possible, he really wanted to slap Xian Yu Zhaoyang to death, but he couldn't do it now. Killing the army leader in public would cause chaos.
If someone takes the opportunity to contact Meng Gehan, it will be troublesome.
Although Sima Wei is powerful and can kill everyone present, there are 50,000 people here. It is impossible for him to kill so many people in an instant, so he must go to the place deep in the desert where the evil cult is ambushing. Only then can you take action.
"When we get to the place where our Evil Cult is ambushing you, and we cut off all contact with the outside world, I see you, Xianyu Zhaoyang, are still in trouble!"
Sima Wei glanced at Xianyu Zhaoyang coldly.
"Um?"
"Sima Jianjun, why don't you speak?"
"If you don't speak, what if you faint later?"
Xianyu Zhaoyang pretended to be surprised when he saw that Sima Wei was silent.
But the words were full of ridicule.
"Xianyu Zhaoyang, if you are looking for a fight with me, then let's have a good fight here!"
"As for His Majesty the Khan's mission, don't do it!"
Sima Wei glanced coldly at Xian Yu Zhaoyang again.
After Xianyu Zhaoyang heard Sima Wei's words, he immediately frowned and his face darkened.
This sycophant!
Do you know how to use His Majesty the Khan to oppress me?
What a waste!
In the past, when Xian Yu Zhaoyang quarreled with Sima Wei, he always had the upper hand at the beginning, but when Sima Wei moved out of Meng Gehan, Xian Yu Zhaoyang would be defeated.
There is no way, Meng Gehan is a Khan, and not everyone can withstand the pressure of his name.
Although Xianyu Zhaoyang knew that Sima Wei was a fox pretending to be a tiger, he had no choice.
"Hmph! A flatterer, he will only take advantage of His Majesty the Khan!"
Xianyu Zhaoyang gave Sima Wei a hateful look, and then ordered the army to set off.
Sima Wei looked at Xian Yu Zhaohe's figure in front of him, with a cold light in his eyes.
Xianyu Zhaoyang, Xianyu Zhaoyang, when you get to this desert, you will die. After you die, I will kill your whole family and make you look like a political enemy.
Xian Yu Zhaoyang also made many enemies among the top officials in the Western Region. If Xian Yu Zhaoyang had not been relatively strong in fighting skills, he would have been attacked by his political enemies long ago.
Soon, the mighty army entered the desert.
Most of them probably don't know that this trip to the desert is the last expedition in their lives.
…
Two days later.
Somewhere in the desert.
Xian Yu Zhaoyang led the army forward, while Sima Wei on the side glanced at Xian Yu Zhaoyang from time to time.
If you look carefully, you can see a faint hint of worry between Xianyu Zhaoyang's eyebrows.
They didn't encounter anything during their march these past few days.
This is so abnormal!
According to Xianyu Zhaoyang's marching experience, even in places with harsh environments like deserts, you will encounter some small animals or plants.
But their army walked for two whole days without even encountering a spider or a cactus. This was really abnormal.
Generally, there are only two explanations for this situation.
First, during this period, a sandstorm occurred on Xianyu Zhaoyang's way. The huge sandstorm directly swept away the animals and plants.
But if there was a sandstorm, Xianyu Zhaoyang would definitely see it, but in the past two days, he didn't even see a fart, let alone a sandstorm.
As for the second point, someone had entered the desert earlier than Xianyu Zhaoyang and others, so there were no traces of animals.
"This desert is so remote, no one should enter here."
Xianyu Zhaoyang muttered in his heart.
At this moment, an urgent voice broke Xian Yu Zhaoyang's fantasy.
"General Xianyu, something serious has happened..."
A spy hurriedly came from the front...
