After all the wounded soldiers had been laid down, Yang Yun called Shao Zhen and Li Ling to him and said, "Li Ling, you have been recuperating with Sun Kai and the others in the past few days. Shao Zhen brought a few horses to guard the area and act according to the opportunity." , if the situation is critical, you can just light a fire and burn the reed forest, and then take them to escape in the direction of Meng'e Country. I will help you. I will take three horses and go to Meng'e Country now. If we go in the direction of Meng'e Country, one can disrupt Lin Si Country's pursuers, and the other two can find a way out in advance."
"Special attention should be paid to the fact that you are not allowed to light a fire until the moment of life or death. I have been eating dry food and dried meat these past few days. I have seized so much. Ten days and a half month is enough. If I haven't come back after ten days, there is no need to wait for me or find someone." I'm here. You can just disguise yourself and cross the Meng'e Kingdom, go to the northern port to find a ship and return home. When Li Ling returns, just report it to me at the Ministry of War. If I don't come back, Li Ling will take command as the captain."
Shao Zhen and Li Ling responded a little sadly. After saying goodbye to Yang Yun, they went their separate ways. Shao Zhen took all the remaining horses with him and walked out while cleaning up traces of various activities. Li Ling walked in while cleaning up traces. Half an hour later, the reed forest returned to its former peace and tranquility.
Unless one walks into the middle of the lake, nothing will be discovered.
Yang Yun's arrangement was actually quite in line with Shao Zhen's wishes, so he immediately used his mental strength, adjusted his vision, and looked around. After confirming that there were no traces of enemies within fifty miles, he took the remaining horses and took a turn. Run to the place where you defeated the enemy the day before yesterday, and prepare to give the enemy a little surprise.
At nightfall, Li Jun finally approached the enemy soldiers. He was surprised to find that the number of enemy soldiers did not increase. Li Jun could not understand. He could only guess that this detachment was the last one. After all, entering other people's territory would still be a problem. It cannot be excessive. Once it causes a large-scale national war, ordinary people cannot afford the consequences. But if you accidentally send a small team, you can run away if you are discovered. If you are caught, you can just say that you are lost. This kind of thing often happens in countries without great hostility.
After thinking about it, I decided to go over and have a look. If nothing happened, let them go. So I tied the horse and climbed over slowly with a long bow. In this dark night, I can guarantee that they are not opponent.
The twenty or so people set up four or five tents. Next to the tents stood several war horses with their legs bandaged. This was because they did not want to overly expose their strength the day before yesterday.
Lying on the sand, he improved his hearing, listened carefully for a while, and then slowly retreated. He was originally planning to kill those horses as well, but now he forgot about it. It turned out that the other generals had a total of A dozen teams were sent across the border. Some teams encountered the border guards of Meng'e Country, which resulted in protests, so they had to withdraw all troops. The team in front of them sent out an enemy trace signal the day before yesterday, but received a response yesterday. Withdrawing the signal, the team leader said that because the horses were basically gone, it would be impossible to pursue them without backup. In addition, he was not familiar with the environment, so he planned to go back tomorrow. Once you understand these things, you will let the other person go.
He quickly led the horse away from the enemy's sight and returned to the oasis. The reed forest was as calm as before leaving. If you didn't observe carefully, you wouldn't be able to find anyone hiding in the depths. After tying up the horse, he walked into the wooden shed, sprinkled the medicine, and made some early warning mechanisms before practicing the Nine Yin Sutra.
After waiting for daybreak, he walked a little further in the direction of the enemy. Watching the enemy slowly leave, he finally returned to the reed forest with complete relief. After learning a few waterbird calls as agreed, Li Ling came over quietly. After meeting Li Jun, Shao Zhen briefly told what he heard. Li Ling ran into the middle of the lake with great joy, and immediately heard a burst of cheers.
Shao Zhen went in and took a look. Liu Wei and Ye Ri both started crying. After more than a month of escaping, they finally saw hope of life. Can they not be excited?
Shao Zhen and Li Ling discussed it and decided that it was better to continue waiting or insist not to make a fire. If it attracted the border guards of Meng'e country, they would not know whether to take action.
So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we took the horses to the other side of the oasis to graze, and returned to the reed shed in the middle of the lake to rest at night. We didn’t even put up sentry posts, but made a lot of traps around them that could send alarms. , as long as someone comes and can find it.
Of course, life is extremely inconvenient, but Liu Wei and the others are also open-minded and can just avoid it for a while. After two months of life and death struggle and more than ten days of living and dying together, there is nothing they can't open up about.
Of course, men are also very self-disciplined. They are all elites in the military. Their ability to resist beauty is much stronger than ordinary people. Sometimes they turn away when they accidentally see their white bodies.
Three days passed quickly, and I accidentally looked at Liu Wei, Ye Ri, and the others. They were much better than when they came to the oasis, and they had begun to plump up.
At midnight, Shao Zhen heard three long calls of water birds. He felt happy. He stopped listening carefully and heard three more calls.
According to the agreement, Yang Yun was back, but just in case, he still said hello to Li Ling, and then quietly bent down and walked out. Sure enough, he saw Yang Yun pulling a horse and carrying a large bag of things. thing.
He walked out happily. Yang Yun was a little surprised when he saw it. Normally, it was Li Ling who came out. Shao Zhen immediately explained everything briefly. After hearing this, Yang Yun said happily, "I'm going to lie down. I I haven't slept for three days and three nights. I'll tell you when I get up." So he crawled into the wooden shed next to him and snored softly.
I called everyone out and opened the package. I saw some daily necessities, medicines and cooked food. I guess Yang Yun had found a way out.
After daybreak, Yang Yun woke up and everyone gathered around him. Yang Yun said in high spirits that beyond the sand dune in front is a stone mountain. After climbing over the mountain, there is a poplar forest. Through the poplar forest there is another big oasis. Where to live I met some strong people in a village and heard from them that the border town was just two days away.
I sold a horse in a small village, bought some things for use, and headed back. I hope to pick you up in case the pursuers find you, but I heard that the pursuers have all retreated, so I will rest here for a while. Time, bring everything, horses, etc. to this wooden shed.
So everyone who could move began to move. In the evening, a simple shelter was built. Although it was made of reeds, the stools and tables were all usable. With Yang Yun's consent, a fire was lit. Because Yang Yun said that people from the Meng'e Kingdom occasionally come here to hunt and so on, so they are not afraid of being exposed.
Although it was just a simple hot meal, it still filled everyone's stomachs. After all, they hadn't eaten these things in more than a month.
Li Ling was on duty that night, giving Yang Yun another good sleep. After dawn, Shao Zhen volunteered to catch fish. At noon, everyone drank delicious fish soup.
In the afternoon, Shao Zhen checked the wounds of Sun Kai and the others. Except for Ye Ri, everyone else was six to seven points better. Even Ye Ri was almost five points better. This surprised Shao Zhen. , in the case of lack of medicine and nutrition, there are very few people who can reach this level of physical fitness. Maybe the people in this script have better physiques.
In the evening, Yang Yun also joined the guard. After three days, except for Ye Ri, the wounds of the others no longer hindered riding, so Yang Yun took everyone to the small village of Meng'e Country. Of course, all the clothes were disguised. .
We quickly climbed over sand dunes, rocky mountains, and poplar forests, and arrived at our destination in just one day. There were dozens of families living in the small village, all of them tall and muscular people with blue eyes. When they saw Li Jun and the others, all but the children were a little curious. There was nothing unusual about the adults running around, and they probably had contact with Tang people on a regular basis.
Yang Yun could speak the language of Meng'e, and Li Ling and others could basically understand it, so he quickly made an agreement with an Orion to rent his small courtyard for a few days.
Shao Zhen saw silver coins being traded for the first time. It is said that there are also gold coins. Generally, 100 silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin, and one gold coin can be enough for an ordinary person to live in a country for one year. Yang Yun sold a horse last time. The horse only got a few dozen silver coins.
Shao Zhen got a small single room. Once it got dark in the village, it was no different from being in the reed forest. Except for those barking sounds that sounded like dogs, nothing could be heard. Shao Zhen finally fell asleep. My first peaceful sleep on this script.
When I got up the next day, I walked slowly along the village path and found that both the chickens, ducks, and cats and dogs were a little bit bigger than the normal ones, and they looked a little weird, and even their sounds were a bit weird. It's different, for example, the fire chicken has a red, droopy skin under its long neck, but you can tell it's a chicken when you look at it, and the villagers also call it a chicken.
Another example is the horse. It has two small red horns on its head, but its overall appearance is like a familiar horse, and the people here also call it horse. After a series of observations and analysis, I came to the conclusion that as long as you pay a little attention, you can live a normal life in this script. Because many of the words they say to each other have the same pronunciation.
Within three days, Yang Yun sold another horse. Of course, the military and civilian logo had long been removed. Then he used the money he got to buy clothes, towels and other things for everyone. Shao Zhen also used this time to learn the basic daily life terms of Meng'e country, which made Li Ling and others envious. Even Yang Yun praised him a few times.
On the fourth day, everyone set off early. Except for Ye Ri, everyone was basically a normal person. According to Yang Yun, Meng'e State and Tang State have normal diplomatic relations, so there are many Tang people in the big cities of Meng'e State. However, Meng'e State and Linsi State also have normal diplomatic relations, so everyone should still pay attention. of.
When Tang State and Quetu State formed an alliance, it was easy to return to Tang State by land. But now that Quetu State has betrayed their alliance, they have to go to the northern seaport of Meng'e State to find a ship to return home.
