"Keep on going!"
It had just dawned, and Chao Yi, who was known for his strict military, had already begun to organize his army. Not long after, a long group of more than 7,000 people set off again on the desert.
Seen from a distance, they are as small as a long ant colony in the vast sea of sand.
"Chen Sheng, pay more attention to the water bag. Don't forget what happened in Monan Town."
Chen Sheng understood immediately and rode towards the logistics camp.
Xu Mu raised his head again and looked at the scenery ahead. After dawn, the cold winter at night suddenly disappeared and was replaced by the exposure to the scorching sun.
Before this, people such as Chao Yi and Weifeng had gone to the Western Regions, but no disasters occurred on the way. Thinking about it, there should be no problem with a large army accompanying them this time.
Riding on the camel, Xu Mu looked back and found that Zhuge Fan had returned to his previous appearance, looking extremely tired.
"Chao Yi, how long is the distance?"
Chao Yi caught up on horseback, thought for a moment and said, "My lord, it will take about twenty more days to reach the Western Region. This is almost no man's land. It will take at least ten days to reach the next oasis." "
Oasis is the source of life in the sand sea. Whether it is to collect water or to rest, oasis is indispensable. Fortunately, Xu Mu had prepared a lot of water bags for safety reasons when he arrived.
Just as Xu Mu was thinking, suddenly, a general rushed back from the front.
"What?"
"My lord, the guide said that there may be sand and dust, so let us look for a large sand dune to take shelter and re-encircle the camels!"
Xu Mu was shocked, he had just walked not far today. But at this time, there seemed to be a strong wind, blowing from the north.
The camel under him also hissed twice.
"Listen to the guide and look for sand dunes immediately to avoid the sand and dust wind!"
Suddenly, a long team of more than 7,000 people quickly became busy on the vast yellow sand.
…
Western Region, Dayuan Kingdom.
Amidst the sound of huqin and harp, nine gorgeous orchids were dancing in the palace.
On the throne, a middle-aged Hu man with a big belly twirled the mutton chop beard on his face, and his eyes showed a greedy smile.
But soon, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the other person sitting next to him.
"Son of God, how is my beautiful concubine from Dayuan?"
The person sitting can't see any expression. It's not that his face is paralyzed, but that he wears a ferocious beast mask.
Seeing no response, the middle-aged Hu man smiled dryly and immediately changed the subject.
"Please rest assured, Son of God, I, the country of Dawan, will never go to a Shu people's drinking date. The Shu people are ambitious and want to swallow up the entire Western Region. It is simply a wishful thinking!"
This sentence finally made the "Son of God" smile lightly.
"Don't forget that we, the countries in the Western Regions, are the people of the True God. If we agree to Xi Shu, we will be blaspheming the True God! I am the son of the True God, and my Heavenly Father has already given me a dream."
"Son of God, I saw something in my dream."
"In the dream, the army of Western Shu marched westward to occupy my land, oasis, and Meiji in the Western Region! I will enslave my people in the Western Region. When the time comes, these beautiful countries in the Western Region will become a purgatory on earth!"
This sentence made the middle-aged Hu man look shocked. Although he is the king of Dawan, he has always believed in this prophecy.
"Is there anything the Son of God can do?"
"I have already asked Heavenly Father." The eyes on the ferocious mask showed an unnoticeable killing intent.
"There is only one way to avoid catastrophe: drive away the Shu people completely!"
"Son of God, I heard that there is a general named Yin from the Shu people. He also wears a mask. He is the venerable true god——"
"I have asked Heavenly Father about this matter. He is lying. Don't forget how many people from the Western Regions he has killed in the past two years. Lou Chong, listen to me. Tomorrow we will gather the five people from the Western Regions. The army of the country attacked Zhenlan City and drove all the Western Shu people who brought great disaster back to the Central Plains."
"This, this...let me think deeply."
Shenzi narrowed his eyes. In fact, for the rest of the year, he had been persuading many kings of the Western Regions to jointly counterattack Western Shu. It's a pity that no one is willing to join forces. After all, the country-destroying madman in Xishu is really scary. If it weren't for that thunderous method, it would have been impossible for Xi Shu to gain a foothold in the countries in the Western Region.
"Shenzi, this matter... I need to think about it again." Lou Chong hurriedly repeated it for fear that Shenzi would be angry.
"Of course, there is no rush. But I have something to say first. The recent dreams have become more and more terrifying. Whenever I close my eyes, I can always hear the miserable cries of my people in the Western Region."
Lou Chong was trembling. When he looked up again, he realized that at some point, the Son of God in front of him had already left the palace.
…
hold head high--
Standing on a flat-roofed house, the masked man known as the Son of the True God was raising one arm, waiting for an eagle in the sky to slowly fall down.
He took off the mailbox next to the eagle's talon, opened it and read it, then frowned coldly.
"Xu Buyi is going to the Western Regions."
Behind the masked man, there were five or six other figures in black robes. Upon hearing this sentence, their eyes burst out with hatred.
"I made an estimate. According to the delivery time, we should be almost halfway there."
"Master, how about going to intercept and kill him?"
The masked man shook his head, "Xu Buyi leads an army of nearly 10,000 people, and has that tiger as a guard, plus the hidden Xia'er secret guards. It will not be easy to kill him."
"It's a pity that these people from the Western Regions are short-sighted. Otherwise, I could have borrowed troops to try."
"Then Master...are you just going to let Xu Buyi come to the Western Region?"
"Of course I don't want to. But it's not appropriate for me to expose my identity now. If the secret army is involved, Xu Buyi's cleverness can easily find out if he follows the clues."
"I know that Xu Buyi has been thinking about the Western Regions for a long time. It just so happened that this time he freed his hand." The masked man said with a hint of anger in his tone.
"In the past one or two years, if that Yin Hu had not entered the Western Region, I would probably have succeeded. But that guy was a decisive leader. He would destroy the country if he said it would, which shocked many people in the Western Region."
The masked man closed his eyes.
"In short, we can't let Xu Buyi go too smoothly. Maybe he has known about my existence for a long time. He wants to destroy the majesty of Xishu."
"Send people to Ma Xiguo to find the Dong family members and tell them that Xu Buyi is coming to the Western Regions. I believe that the Dong family will be happy to intercept and kill them due to the country's hatred and family feud."
"Master, the Dong family has been in the Western Regions, recruiting troops secretly. I'm afraid they don't have many manpower."
"You are wrong. After Dong Wen was destroyed, these Dong clan members have been preparing. Just go ahead and tell the news directly."
"Master, don't worry."
The masked man raised his head and looked at the scorching sun for a long time. Finally, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
