"Wow! You are still alive, General!" Chen Jie burst into tears while holding He Mulan, who survived the disaster, "I knew you wouldn't die! I serve Uncle Yueying and Uncle Dahong every day, just waiting. Ride them back with you, look at my hair! They've been biting them bald!"
"Thanks for your hard work."
He Mulan patted Chen Jie on the shoulder, not knowing what to say.
Chen Jie was left to protect the remaining Wei envoys and did not participate in this operation.
The envoys of Beiliang and the surviving members of the Iron Guard Camp have been driven out of the team by the Hu Ben Army because they could not be trusted. A cool town.
Those who stayed in the oasis were all the people left by this sandstorm.
After He Mulan arrived at the oasis with Hu Benjun, Na Luohun and others, seeing that the camp that was supposed to be the Blowing Horn Company was only half of the size left, her heart was really sad and painful, but before the pain was over, she was suddenly caught. Yueying and Dahong, who came running wildly, were shocked and happy, and they didn't care if they would be knocked away, so they rushed up to meet them.
Yueying and Dahong are BMWs with some intelligence. They did not die in the storm, but they protected many people from being swept away. Now they are raised by the people of the Hu Benjun as treasures, and they would rather not eat them. Even if you have to drink, you don't want to be thirsty and hungry. These two uncles, Chen Jie is called as a servant, and even his hair is gnawed.
If there was anything else that could make He Mulan laugh out loud, it would be luck in misfortune, Yue Ying and Da Hong were all right.
Lao Sangtou was escorted by Yuan Fang and sent to the Hu Ben army. In order to prevent Queen Meng from committing suicide, He Mulan and others unceremoniously stuffed rags into her mouth and tied her body with ropes, but they both Knowing the severity, it is still polite to Queen Meng.
All the Beiliang people in the team were expelled by the angry Hu Ben army, and the maids who originally followed Princess Xingping were also expelled, so with Queen Meng being escorted back, let alone the members of the embassy did not know about it. What happened, a woman, even an old woman, mixed in with a group of men was a real headache.
The news of He Mulan's safe return to the mission quickly spread throughout the camp, and everyone rushed to the center of the oasis frantically. Even Yuan Fang and Feng Heng, who were still busy, put down what they were doing and rushed over immediately. After coming here, the worst thing about the Hu Ben Army is that there is no son, no coach, and no princess of peace. Now the backbone is back, although the situation is tragic, there is finally hope to move on.
When He Mulan saw that most of the people she knew were still alive, she felt relieved. Goodbye Feng Heng was actually here, and she understood why Hu Benjun didn't leave.
Feng Heng was in charge of providing guides and luggage. It was not far from Qinhan City, so it was normal for the Tiger Ben army to support it up to now.
"... Is Zheng Zong dead? Princess Xingping hasn't been found yet?" Yuan Fang saw that there was no Zheng Zong behind He Mulan, and the hope that had risen suddenly dimmed.
It's amazing to be able to protect yourself in such a strong wind, a weak chicken like Zheng Zong...
Yuan was relieved and regretted.
"Ah? Oh, no, Zheng Zong is not dead, he was injured, it is not very good, but his life is finally saved, I found the trace of the sandstorm thief on the road, let him take my rock to go Qinhan City is asking for help. If you know that Captain Feng is here, I won't do anything like this..."
Seeing that Yuan Fang thought that Zheng Zong was dead, He Mulan quickly explained.
"I can survive because of Zheng Zong's protection. There is another adventure, which will be discussed later."
She looked up and found that Mangu was nowhere to be seen, and hurriedly asked Chen Jie, who was beside him, who was still wiping tears. Hearing that, Mangu was bruised by the flying debris on his leg and is now recovering from the injury.
"Actually, there is also a reason why the mission did not return to Qinhan City immediately. It is impossible to drive in the sand, but there are too many wounded people. If some people move casually, they will worry about their lives. I have already ordered a group of officers to come over. "
Feng Heng personally sent the high-spirited embassy away. It didn't take long for the people in the embassy to die, wounded, injured, missing, and disappeared, which made him very sad.
"Fortunately, you are back. Whether you are leaving or staying now, I will wait for you to say a word."
"I've been missing for more than half a month, and I don't know anything about what happened to you. For this purpose, all the officials who are still alive in the division should be summoned to discuss the matter. You will tell me what happened after the sandstorm. I I also tell you my experience..."
He Mulan sighed.
"The most important thing now is to stabilize the morale of the army. When did the Hu Ben army suffer such serious casualties..."
There is a lack of doctors and medicines, and in this hot and dead desert, even if there is an oasis to temporarily live in, it will not be a good place to recuperate.
The wounded must be gradually sent back to Qinhan City, but Princess Xingping's dowry in Fengcheng should not be left alone.
She wants to lift it up and use it as a pension for the fallen soldiers, it will never be cheaper for others!
Following He Mulan's order, Chen Jie and Yuan Fang hurriedly summoned all the members of the mission to discuss matters in the tent. Some of these people were still injured, but they had to climb to the tent. Tears flowed down the face, the mission that used to have more than 30 core members was now full of people in a tent.
It's just a small tent.
He Mulan's heart was also sour. She was the main general, but she couldn't show weakness. She could only suppress the pain in her heart, and spoke concisely about her future experience.
Her experience is naturally very short, how did she find the bodies of those comrades on the sand dunes, how did she find out that Zheng Zong was not dead, did not find Princess Xingping, drag Zheng Zong to find the people in the chaos, how did the people in the chaos follow She went out to look for the way back to Qinhan City, and halfway through, she found out that the Sand Feng Thief was going to Feng City, and that the Hu Ben Army might still be nearby, etc., all followed her narration.
There was not much thrilling, only indescribable desolation. As she took out a dagger of the Tiger Ben Army from her arms, many good men still shed tears.
After a sandstorm, the sand buried the bodies of many people, some people didn't even have scum left, and some people were blown by the wind without knowing where. Many people are reluctant to admit that those people are dead, and they are still deceiving themselves that they may have been blown away by the wind, or there may be adventures. He Mulan's return has given them a boost, making them More willing to believe their own guesses.
But they forgot that not everyone has the ability and physical strength to fight against the desert and the sky, and not everyone has the luck to meet noble people. If Zheng Zong hadn't had He Mulan who would never give up, he would just turn into a wolf in the end. It's just flesh and blood in the mouth, so many Hu Ben soldiers and envoys who have disappeared without a trace, can they really come back
He Mulan was full of hope to return to the mission, but even if she was mentally prepared, she still felt a pain in her heart when she saw such a situation.
She traveled so smoothly all the way, and because of the compromise of the Beiliang royal family, this mission was almost beyond the plan to complete the task, but it was still overdone.
This incident taught her a real lesson, and told her not to trust others easily, even if they were Lu Shuihu, a brother, a former friend. When she was carrying the lives of the entire mission, she could not rely on her Act with favor or favor.
Some people may think that this is the vicious person behind the plot, but she knows in her heart that if she hadn't approved Lao Sangtou to join the group, if she hadn't insisted on believing in Gai Wu and Lu Naluo despite Zheng Zong's doubts and speculations Guarantee, Lao Sangtou can't make any waves at all.
Although traveling during the day is hard, traveling on the main road may be scorched by the scorching sun, but it will not produce so many things.
The Hu Ben army lost her trace and lived on the water, bushes and the remaining baggage in the oasis, couldn't it stay for so long? Why was she shaken by the words of the old Sangtou and the guides, thinking that the original path and arrangement had become dangerous
Not because Daxingyi died and no one to guide her, but because she had been blinded by that ridiculous "knowledge", infinitely magnifying the danger of the desert, and being too easy to trust others.
Sometimes, she really has to learn the prudence of "employing people with suspicion" like Zheng Zong.
No one knew what He Mulan was thinking, but everyone was very happy to know that He Mulan was fine. In addition, a lot of things happened after the sandstorm. The egret official Liu Zhen didn't die, and Yuan Fang and others started talking to He Mu. Lan talks about what happened after she disappeared.
After everyone climbed out of the sand, they first gathered all the living people. The Lushuihu people only lost more than 40 people, and there were almost no casualties, but only half of the Hu Ben Army remained. It has not been like this since the establishment of the Hu Ben Army. Therefore, after the casualties were counted, many soldiers of the Huben Army even thought that this was a trap set by the Lushuihu people who wanted to seek money and kill their lives, and the two sides fought together.
Fortunately, neither Luo Hun nor Yuan Fang died, and there were several highly respected envoys in the mission to mediate in time, so there was no real accident. The surviving people took out all the luggage and water they could find, and rode the camels and horses that were still alive, and began to evacuate to the east.
There are still a few guides in the mission, and camels can also look for water sources. They found this oasis before the water plants were exhausted, but found that there were already horse thieves in the oasis, and they had to fight the horse thieves. In the end, it was Lu Shui. The Hu people made merit and killed half of the horse thieves, forcing the horse thieves to surrender one after another. This horse thief was the army led by Yanzi.
Yanzi's real name is not Yanzi, but Hudi Ganyan. It is a branch of Xianbei, Hexi. Once a noble in Nanliang, with the collapse of Nanliang, Hudigan's family defected to Beiliang, and the eldest son of Beiliang died in Rouran. At that time, the family of Hudi Gan was a general under the eldest prince's account, and because of the poor guards, the whole family was punished.
The house of the cadre in Hudi was raided, the man was punished as hard labor, and the woman became an official servant. Because Yanzi's father had many old minions in Hexi, Juqu Mengxun did not kill him, but put him in prison and endured torment. Yanzi escaped from Guzang with his brother, but was chased by the pursuers on the way. After his brother broke up, only Yanzi escaped.
It is really difficult for a woman to survive outside, and most of the family generals in Hudi have left. The rest of the people followed her and tried to rescue their family, so they joined the sand pirates here, gathering more and more people.
While inquiring about the whereabouts of his family, this Swallow gathered people to go to the border of Xiqin and Beiliang to rob his family from hard labor, but he couldn't find a chance.
She is a woman, and her subordinates can't recruit any strong men. This group of rabble must know that she is robbing the frontier labor camp, and they will run away before halfway.
At this moment, Lao Sangtou's messenger found her. She did vaguely know what the big leader was planning and what he was going to save. Now she knew that the big leader wanted to borrow the prince to ask for a ransom, and hoped that she could help out some people, so I was moved.
As long as you have a prince, you can negotiate terms with Bei Liang, so Hudi Ganyan, who has no ambitions for money and status, still rushes to Windy City with all his men, drives out the caravans that smashed the oasis here, and waits. next message.
In the end, instead of waiting for the good news, he waited for the Fengcheng to be buried and the prince got into the hands of the big chief but was mutinied by his subordinates.
He also met the Hu Ben army who had been lost in the desert for five or six days.
Yanzi still knows a thing or two about Lao Sangtou. He had been in Dunhuang and wanted to find some treasure, but he fled back in a daze and was reused by Luo Hu. This person loves money and does everything for money. , The brain is flexible, and it is very scary.
It is normal to say that Lao Sangtou turned against Luo Hu for the treasures in Fengcheng. He was originally in Dunhuang because he wanted some treasure, and he also wanted to borrow the power of the Sand Feng Pirates to strengthen his strength, so he could go to Dunhuang in the future to get them. Return the treasure.
Yanzi was seduced by the prince and the treasure. Whether it was negotiating conditions with the prince or getting money to recruit his subordinates, it was a great temptation for her, but before the matter was completed, she was restrained by the Hu Ben army.
Yuan Fang has his own skills, and Liu Zhen is also the top of Bailu officials. The two learned everything without any means, and even turned Yanzi to join Wei. As officials of Wei, they promised to put pressure on Beiliang to return to Hu. Digan's family members who were still alive, so the two sides agreed upon a vote. When the "ten people negotiated", it seemed that Yanzi arrived too late, but in fact, the Wei State embassy had already made all kinds of preparations and was waiting for Yanzi to get it. The prince will annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Although the current result is not the best, it has exceeded their expectations.
It's just that everyone originally thought that the prince and the Meng family were victims, but now they were copied by Lao Sangtou. It turned out that everything was an escape plan planned by Queen Meng. They swallowed Queen Meng and Lao Sangtou alive.
"It's a pity that Prince Bodhi is fake." Na Luohun sighed, "Even though Queen Meng's status is noble, she is useless to the overall situation of Bei Liang."
Yawen Bar
"Fake?" Egret officer Liu Zhen sneered. "Who knew it was fake?"
A group of people looked at Liu Zhen inexplicably.
"Go and take out Princess Xingping's dowry, let's go back to Pingcheng, these Beiliang people think we are so easy to play with? Even if he is fake..."
Liu Zhen's eyes widened.
"We said he was real, and that was real!"
