In the early morning, the clouds did not appear to be very bright in the glow of the rising sun, but they engulfed each other, forming a beautiful scene. Looking from afar, the village is dotted with dots, and the rest is full of Gobi sand!
The sky gradually lighted up, and an army of tens of thousands of people was marching across the vast Gobi. A red flag of Great Zhou was guarded by two flying tigers and flying leopard flags, waving in the wind! Behind the three banners, the one embroidered with the word'willow' is also particularly eye-catching!
It is not difficult to see from the armor on the soldiers that they have just experienced a cruel war! Although the soldiers had chapped lips and looked exhausted, their tired faces could not conceal the joy of returning home in triumph. They would inevitably not be able to hide from the bloody battlefield in the army. For them, being able to triumph would be the rest of their lives!
This army is the Flying Tiger and Flying Leopards led by General Liu Maoyuan of Youjin Wuwei. Not long ago, Liu Maoyuan was appointed by Emperor Wu Zetian to go to Qibei to wipe out the Turkic rebels that had repeatedly attacked the border. The army has been out for more than two months. In the past two months or so, there have been many good news spread to the gods, and the courts are all rejoicing!
The news of the triumphant victory of the counter-insurgency army has long been passed back to the capital of God. As the first stop to welcome Shuozhou, it naturally attaches great importance!
Under the leadership of Shuozhou Governor Feng Zhijing, officials from all over the city greeted them at the gate early. At this moment, Shuozhou's colored flags were flying, and Shuozhou Governor Feng Zhijing ascended to the towers of Shuozhou, looking into the vast desert, anxiously waiting for the Great Zhou Dynasty. That red flag!
The people are looking forward to the city gate, ready to welcome the army returning in triumph! These people living in the border areas have been harassed by the Turkic people in the past few months, and the people in the border areas are miserable! After General Liu’s army went to the border, the people at the border did not see a Turkic person for more than two months. What is even more exciting to the people is to hear that General Liu’s army has already named itself “Jie Teng Lishi Khan”. The leader of the rebel army fought back to his Mobei lair, so the people wanted to see with their own eyes this mighty division that brought them peace and stability!
The guards standing on the heights of the tower saw military flags appearing in the desert in the distance, and then small black dots appeared in the desert!
"My lord, here comes!" The guards guarding the city shouted in the direction of the governor Feng Zhijing!
Feng Zhijing looked far away and saw the flag flying in front of the army, and he was immediately excited!
The weather in the Gobi is always volatile, and the sun is just rising, and suddenly there is a violent wind! The wind was blowing in the dust, and the person who was blowing couldn't open his eyes. The sky full of black clouds swallowed everything, and the entire Gobi seemed to have disappeared! In an instant, the earth seemed to be trembling, black clouds mixed with lightning bolts dancing wildly like silver snakes, and the deafening thunder sound was violent and impermanent, and there were waves of wailing among the flying sand and rocks.
Everyone in the city shuddered!
"Heishazhen is here, come in!" I don't know who shouted!
When the people heard the shouts, they ran back to nearby houses to take shelter. A group of officials also hid inside. When the raging wind subsided and the light was restored outside, people resolutely walked out to the ground, The roofs, trees, and everything in the village were covered with a layer of yellow sand, but what shocked everyone was that the army just now disappeared!
"Hey? Why are those officers and soldiers gone?" a guard standing on a high place shouted!
When the governor Feng Zhijing heard the shouts of the guards, he hurriedly climbed up to the height of the tower and looked at the past. As expected, the shadow of the army was gone!

"Come on, ride a horse and check it out! What's the situation and report back quickly!" The governor Feng Zhijing yelled in a flustered voice!
Soon, a group of cavalry galloped out of the city and ran to the place where the army had just passed. In addition to yellow sand, it was still yellow sand. Several military flags and the red flag of the Great Zhou were half-covered in the yellow sand. There were a few weapons scattered on the ground. , These things are enough to prove that there was indeed an army passing by just now, but no matter the generals or soldiers, they are all gone!
"Second Brother Li, where is this person?" a soldier asked loudly!
"Is it already far away?" Another soldier said!
"No, just for a while, how far can they go, besides, how can they dare to throw the flag and weapons here? That's the crime of decapitation!" said the man named Li Er!
"Is it a hell? Just now, did you hear that someone called Heishajian? I heard the old man say that there is a monster in the black desert called Nine-headed Heishajian. It is said to be more than ten feet in length. Every step is taken. The mountains are shaking, and each head has two eyes that look like lanterns, and each mouth is more than ten feet wide. When the nostrils vent, it is like a strong wind! Could it be that these people called monsters and swallowed them? Right?" A soldier said while picking up the yellow sand!
"Don't be silly, have you seen that monster? We have to report to the Governor as soon as possible!" Li Er said!
Soon Shuozhou governor Feng Zhijing received a return from the cavalry. After listening to the report, the governor Feng Zhijing slumped in a chair. The general appointed by the emperor was victorious and disappeared on the way. For Feng Zhijing, this is tantamount to annihilation!
Seeing Feng Zhijing in such a panic, Shuozhou Simajiang Chongshili, who had just walked in, asked: "My lord, are you okay?"
After a long while, Feng Zhijing was relieved, "Jiang Chong, something has happened!"
Jiang Chong also heard the reports from the cavalry, sweating on his forehead, "My lord, is this too weird?"
"Weird not weird is not important, what is important is how we
How can we keep the black yarn on our heads! "The governor Feng Zhijing said worriedly!
"My lord, we don't need to be too alarmed. We just need to report the truth! Although General Liu and his soldiers disappeared under our control, we are at best a crime of negligence and failure to investigate. !" Jiang Chong comforted!
"Oh! I'm worried that the court will send someone to investigate. Pull out the radish to bring out the mud, you and me..." Assassin Feng Zhijing said halfway, and looked at Jiang Chong!
As a Sima of Shuozhou, Jiang Chong naturally understood Feng Zhijing's meaning, and he was a little worried, but after thinking about it for a while, he said, "My lord, I have an idea!"
Assassin Feng Zhijing heard that Jiang Chong had an idea, and immediately stood up, "What idea? Hurry up and talk about it!"
"We are now rushing six hundred li to send this memorial report to Shendu. If it's late, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell it clearly!" Sima Jiangchong said!
"What's your idea? I don't know how to report it? But how do we write this memorial?" Said the governor Feng Zhijing annoyed!
"My lord, don’t panic. Didn’t you hear someone shouting just above the tower? Heisha is here! There have long been rumors that there is a nine-headed Heisha in the black desert. We said that the army might have encountered this. Monster, we can't save it!" Sima Jiangchong said softly!
"That can only be done right now, alas!" The governor Feng Zhijing finished with a sigh, and stamped the governor's seal on the memorial report, and ordered him to expeditiously send him to Luoyang, the capital of God, six hundred miles!
That night, Dazhou Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi was sitting in the Zhongshu Provincial Judgment Hall. Suddenly, the Zhongshushe people hurriedly pushed the door and broke in, bowed down and bowed, shouting: "Elder Ge!"
Zhang Jianzhi's face tightened, and he asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"
The Zhongshusheren still had a panic on his face. He quickly stood up, holding the urgent report with his trembling hands, and submitted it to the Prime Minister Zhang Kamzhi, "Gu Lao, this is the six hundred from Hedong Road. Riga rushed to report!"
Zhang Jianzhi took the report and opened it and read it again. Suddenly, Zhang Jianzhi's face changed drastically, and his body fell back and leaned back on the chair. Upon seeing this, the scholar from Zhongshu She hurriedly stepped forward to hold him. What should we do now?"
Zhang Jianzhi did not speak for a long time, and sweat was already seen on both cheeks. The Zhongshusheren looked at Zhang Jianzhi who was dumbfounded and said: "Gu Lao, this matter is too serious. Don't report it to the emperor. Yilongyan is furious, I'm afraid..."
Zhang Jianzhi suddenly stood up and said: "You immediately copy this memorial report and give it to Elder Di Ge! I will enter the palace!"
Hearing what Zhang Jianzhi said, the people in Zhongshushe hurriedly followed suit. Zhang Jianzhi changed into court clothes, boarded the carriage that had been prepared outside the door, and went straight to the palace!
