Zhong Tian was startled for a moment, blinked his eyes and said, "County Head Xiao Shang is my cousin, he is definitely loyal to me." Zhan Wushuang's eyes lit up and asked anxiously: "Where is Xiao Shang now?" It should still be in the Gaochuan County region. Oh? "Why didn't you say so earlier?" Zhan Wushuang said in a deep voice: "We will go to Zhangyu now!" Zhong Tian sighed secretly. Although the Zhangyu was not located in the heart of the Feng Country, it was not on the way to the Mo Country either. Zhan Wushuang had always advocated going straight to the Mo Country, so how could he be given the chance to speak? But it was useless to argue now. Zhong Tian nodded and said: "Alright! "Let's go to the Zhangyu." With the current condition of Zhong Tian and Ning Jun, wanting to reach Zhangyu was not an easy thing. More importantly, they were afraid of Tang Yin who was chasing them from behind, so they did not dare take the official road.
Leaving the Ba Pass, that same evening, they arrived at a desolate grassland, and looked around. All they could see were weeds, and it was hard to find wild fruits to fill their stomachs, even Zhan Wushuang was sitting on his horse and swaying in hunger. One could imagine the situation of the soldiers below.
Seeing that his brother could no longer persevere, Zhan Wudi made everyone stop and asked, "Does anyone still have anything to eat?" Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything. If there was anything left to eat, it would have been eaten long ago.
Seeing that no one replied, Zhan Wudi faintly sighed, "Could it be that we don't even have a single mouthful of food?" Just then, a leader of Ning Jun's spies walked over, grabbed the carrier pigeon and handed it over to Zhan Wudi. He gulped down his saliva and said, "General Wu, if … If you're really too hungry, then … "Just eat this pigeon!" "This …" Zhan Wudi looked at the pigeon, his heart filled with sorrow, and almost shed tears. He had been in the army for more than twenty years, and had never been in such a miserable state before, to the point that he had to eat pigeons to satisfy his hunger. However, it was better to have something than nothing. He himself was fine, but his big brother was a scholar, so he couldn't bear the pain and his body couldn't hold on. If he had something to eat, he would eat it! As he thought about it, Zhan Wudi didn't say anything. He reached out and took the carrier pigeon from his, pinching its head with one hand and grabbing its body with the other, as if he was going to break its neck with force.
Just as he was about to attack, Zhan Wushuang suddenly shouted: "Invincible, wait!" With that, he turned to the scout leader and asked, "Is this pigeon the one that leads to the Liangzhou?" "Yes, General Wushuang!" The scout nodded and replied.
Zhan Wushuang's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes started to roll rapidly as well. After pondering for a while, he turned his head and asked Zhong Tian: "Your Majesty, since your cousin Xiao Shang is a County Head, I presume you also have many soldiers under you, right?" Zhong Tian pondered for a moment, then laughed bitterly: "This …. "I really don't know. There should be around ten or twenty thousand soldiers." "Ten or twenty thousand troops..." Zhan Wushuang muttered, his mind suddenly thought of something, and as he thought about it, he smiled at Zhan Wudi and said: "Unrivaled, we might have a chance to rush into Ba Pass." "Oh?" "When Zhan Wudi, Zhong Tian and the rest heard this, their spirits were lifted, and they asked:" What is the method? " Zhan Wushuang pointed to the carrier pigeon in Zhan Wudi's hand and said: "I will write a letter to the King right now, requesting him to send someone to negotiate with the Mo Country and have them send troops from the Mo Country to attack the Ba Pass. With their current strength, no matter what, they will not be able to stop the Mo Army, as long as the Mo Army is in their possession, wouldn't it be easy for us to escape from the Feng Country?" "That's right!" With their relationship, as long as the Great King was willing to help them, Mo Country would definitely help them. Moreover, seizing the Ba Pass would also greatly benefit their Mo Country, so there was no reason for them to refuse. Zhan Wudi laughed: "Big brother, this is a good idea, let's do it this way!" Hm! I will write to the King. " At this time, Zhan Wushuang was no longer able to find pen and paper, he could only tear a strip of paper from his clothes, bit off his index finger, and wrote a written blood letter with his blood. He implored King Ning Yan Chu to make use of their relationship, and lend them a helping hand.
Zhan Wudi lowered his head to look at the carrier pigeon in his hand, sighing inwardly. It was good that he was slow, otherwise, it would be equivalent to cutting off their only chance of survival.
After Zhan Wudi finished writing the blood, he carefully folded the blood and tied it to the carrier pigeon's leg. Then, he held the messenger pigeon in both hands and prayed for a while. It could be said that if this group of people could escape, they would all be counting on this carrier pigeon to send the letter back to the Ningdu Liangzhou.
After the carrier pigeons were released into the air, everyone finally saw a glimmer of hope. However, hope was not enough. Their stomachs were still rumbling with hunger, and they couldn't even walk anymore.
At this time, Zhan Wushuang helplessly gave the order for people to kill his warhorses and split the meat amongst themselves. To generals, especially generals like Zhan Wushuang, a horse was equivalent to his second life. Without a horse, the possibility of surviving if they met an enemy was very small, but they couldn't care so much now.
The meat of a war horse was not enough to fill the stomach of over a hundred soldiers, it was still alright for Generals. The soldiers below had barely eaten a few bites, but they had drunk a whole stomach of meat soup, which actually raised their appetite to the maximum. They looked around, and in the end, their gazes all landed on the last war horse in the army, Zhong Tian's war horse.
Seeing through everyone's intentions, Zhong Tian hurriedly stood up, walked to his horse and said loudly: "This warhorse has been following me for many years, no one should even think about getting anything out of it." Zhong Tian did not know whether or not his horse had followed him for many years, but he knew that if he lost his war horse and relied on his two legs to walk to the Zhangyu, he would definitely be tired to death.
The moment he finished speaking, all the soldiers stood up one by one. Some held their swords, some held their spears, and some walked towards Zhong Tian in silence. No one said a word, but everyone's eyes shone with a strange light. Under their gazes, Zhong Tian felt like he had been stripped naked and became the food of the soldiers.
Just as the soldiers were about to reach Zhong Tian, Zui Fengjian strode forward and blocked in front of Zhong Tian, coldly staring at everyone.
There was no need to speak, nor was there need to release the Spirit Pressure, he only stood there simply, and no one dared to take another step forward. This was the manifestation of one's strength.
Zui Fengjian might not like Zhong Tian a lot, but he trusted him greatly. Furthermore, the rules of Divine Pool were extremely strict in this area, and since he wanted to collect money from others, he had to do it for them.
Seeing that Zui Fengjian had stood forward and his soldiers had no intention to leave, Zhan Wushuang frowned and looked at Zhan Wudi who was beside him.
Right now, they still had a lot of places to rely on Zhong Tian, not to mention, Zui Fengjian was not someone that was easy to offend.
Zhan Wudi understood and stood up to shout: What are you doing? "Come back and sit down!" Under Zhan Wudi's orders, the soldiers looked at each other, then put down their weapons. One by one, they swallowed their saliva and sat back down.
"These damned bastards still want to eat my war horse …." Zhong Tian looked at Ning Soldier and grinded his teeth as he muttered in indignation.
Zui Fengjian turned back and glanced at him, and without saying a word, he silently walked away.
Zhong Tian, Zhan Clan Brothers and the rest continued to walk towards the Zhangyu for another two days. The wilderness gradually became rarer, and the mountain ranges also gradually increased. They were unable to pass through the mountain ranges, and could only bravely reach the official road. On this day, as he was walking forward, he suddenly saw a cloud of dust flying in front of him.
Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi, Zhong Tian and the rest were all shocked! At this time, they were on the mountain road, with cliffs on both sides, there was nowhere for them to hide, what should they do? Zhong Tian was so anxious that his face was covered in sweat. He anxiously said to Zhan Wushuang: "General Wushuang, we … "Let's run!" Run? "With our physical strength, how can we outrun the enemy?" Zhan Wushuang laughed bitterly, then shouted loudly to his left and right: "All my brothers Ning Jun, prepare for battle! "Even if we are to die in battle today, we must not disgrace the reputation of our Ning Army!" "Yes!" The soldiers were ready to throw caution to the wind. The hardships they had endured in the past few days had long been unbearable. They would rather die fighting than to live through it! At this time, none of the Generals And Soldiers of Ning Army s were afraid of death, they had already made the decision to fight to the death.
However, Zhong Tian did not want to die. Seeing that the hundred over Ning Army soldiers were actually ready to fight, he felt that it was funny and infuriating. Without saying a word, he turned his horse and said to Zui Fengjian: "Let's go!" After he finished speaking, he urged his horse to run. Seeing that Zui Fengjian was still standing at his original position, Zhong Tian became anxious, he spurred his horse to his side and asked softly: "Do you want to die with Ning Jun? "Hurry up and run with me!" "Your Majesty, the army that has come has come to raise the banner of Peng Country!" Zui Fengjian squinted his eyes, and suddenly said.
"What?" Hearing that, Zhong Tian was startled, and immediately raised his head to look at the road ahead. Because the distance was too far, he could only vaguely see the outline of the enemy army, and he could not see the flag clearly. " You... Are you sure you didn't see wrongly? " "There is no mistake." Zui Fengjian answered straightforwardly.
"This …" This time, Zhong Tian did not understand, he did not know if the one in front was an enemy or ally.
As the army in front was getting closer, the scouts from the army were the first to arrive.
Several red armored Peng Army guards rode their horses as they charged forward. When they were about ten meters away, they stopped their horses and shouted, "Who are you people?" Seeing that the opposing soldier was indeed wearing Peng Army armor and a military uniform, Zhong Tian immediately became spirited. Without waiting for the others to speak, he first urged his horse to move forward, took a deep breath, and asked, "I am Zhong Tian the Roc King, who are you?"
