On the same day that Chandler left Nicolo City, the Guard Corps destroyed an armed organization that intended to destroy the main line from the kingdom to the Western Region. The organization had close ties with the "Secretary's Office Six".
Although afterwards, the head of the Western Region of the Sixth Secretariat found Dönitz and was very angry, saying that this armed force had secretly accepted military pay from the "Sixth Secretariat" and was trained by the "Sixth Secretariat" to deal with the rebel organization.
But General Dönitz naturally did not think so, and commended the entire 1st Guard Brigade.
In the Western Region, there has been no good news for a long time. It seems that there is a tacit balance between the two sides. The rebel organizations are active in remote villages, but no longer attack big cities. Sonya's Legion no longer goes to the countryside to carry out raids.
Dönitz was very dissatisfied with this. With the establishment of the Guard Corps, he originally hoped that the rebel organizations in the Western Regions would be wiped out by the local armies in the Western Regions. The Sonya Corps only needed to concentrate on preparing to deal with the threat from the Principality of Montenegro.
And now, Bit, the person at the helm of the Guard Corps whom he specially promoted, understands his strategic intentions very well and is resolutely implementing them. And it has achieved initial results, destroying more than 2,000 members of the armed organization, almost wiping them out.
Dönitz took the opportunity to report his achievements and officially awarded Bit the rank of brigadier general.
…
The Mo River flows fast and the water is dark black, which should be the result of a special mineral from upstream decomposing in the water.
On both sides of the river, there are magnificent mountains, just like the dangerous scenery of the Three Gorges in Lu Ming’s previous life.
At this time, Lu Ming was in a fishing and hunting tribe.
The tribe of several hundred people had similarities in race and language with some ethnic groups in the southwest of Longbei. Lu Ming specially asked someone to select an interpreter, and first took them to the temporary airport in Wanglang City by plane, and then brought them here by helicopter.
These natives called themselves "Dangxiang" people. Hearing this familiar pronunciation, Lu Ming didn't feel anything.
We learned from this small fishing and hunting tribe that there was a larger tribe in the southwest on the other side of the river. It dominated the many small fishing and hunting tribes on both sides of the Mo River. Its biggest advantage was that it had a salt well, which allowed it to control the other small tribes.
Because this place is isolated from civilized areas, apart from the Central Plains Dynasty, which sent special envoys to declare its benevolence, few people from the outside world come here.
Even today, if it weren't for the increasingly sophisticated helicopter technology that can fly over the mountains and into the Mo River Basin, it would be extremely difficult to get in touch with this place.
But when Lu Ming saw some murals in the cave, he felt that there was something interesting here.
In those murals, it is obvious that many of the immortals' "spells" look extremely similar to the Tianshanwei inheritance.
This place seems to have been influenced by the Central Plains civilization. For example, in terms of clothing, women have a sense of shame and will not expose their breasts. Even if they use a kind of dry leaves, they will wrap their upper body.
There is also a kind of linen cloth, which is as rough as sackcloth, but only the most respected elders in the tribe are qualified to wear clothes made of it. These sackcloth robes are obtained from the overlord tribe at a huge cost. Some of them are full of holes after being washed, and it is unknown how many generations they have been passed down.
Lu Ming had a feeling that if there really was an ancient Yinping Road, then clues to the central mechanism would definitely be found here, so the expedition team did not go any deeper.
Over the past half month, Bizhu and Liuli have been searching for clues about the ancient road here. Lu Ming would also come here whenever he had time, but they still couldn't find the clue.
…
Under the brilliant starry sky, the black river water rolled away. Lu Ming sat on a huge rock by the river with Bizhu beside him.
The biggest advantage of coming here to explore the Yinping Ancient Road is that I can spend more time with Bizhu. Now I have asked her to come to the riverside to watch the stars, and Bizhu has come.
"Your Highness, you have been promoted to brigadier general in the Western Region. How do you plan to run it?"
Biju always talks about military and national affairs.
After pondering for a moment, Bizhu said, "It's not impossible to consider Liuli's idea."
Liuli meant that next month, they should simply hand over a resistance organization to Dönitz, that is, the Guard Corps should directly wipe out the resistance organization.
In this way, the status of the Guard Corps in Dönitz's heart became higher and higher, and he had a good reason to take the opportunity to better arm this force.
"You must know my answer." Lu Ming smiled.
Bizhu nodded and stopped persuading her.
Bizhu suddenly turned her head and stretched out her hand. A few dozen steps away, someone in the lush wormwood grass screamed and flew over like a cloud, and fell at the feet of Lu Ming and the other man with a thud.
Lu Ming secretly clicked his tongue, Bizhu's power was already incredible, completely different from when she rescued him in the East China Sea.
Looking at the old man in front of him who was as pale as an earth and kowtowed repeatedly, Lu Ming was helpless. He was one of the elders of the small tribe, and his name was Mei Zang Ha Ya.
An old man who is qualified to wear sackcloth.
"You have already seen us, why don't you leave immediately? Why are you sneaking towards us? Do you want to eavesdrop on our conversation? Do you understand?" Bizhu said indifferently.
The old man kowtowed even harder and mumbled something.
Lu Ming had long been amazed at how Bizhu could communicate with the "Dangxiang" people. It should be a way of directly influencing their brain waves.
However, due to her status, she certainly could not serve as an interpreter for her own entourage, and sometimes her own entourage also needed to communicate with these native peoples. Moreover, this method not only consumed a lot of energy, but was also harmful to the other party's body. That was why she asked the southwestern border tribe of Longbei to send an interpreter.
The old man was afraid that he would be discovered by Bizhu hundreds of steps away, so he ignored him at first. But when he found that this guy was approaching and had seen them, he tiptoed over, so he caught him.
Looking at Bizhu, Lu Ming smiled awkwardly: "Wife, I feel really safe around you."
This is really what I really think. I feel that Bizhu is extremely powerful, almost like an immortal. The shooting range of a sniper rifle may not escape her eyes and ears. Rockets are just getting started now, and there are no real missiles, let alone precision-guided ones. Therefore, when around Bizhu, there are really no taboos.
Bizhu rolled her eyes and looked at the old man, her pretty face turned cold, "Tell the truth!"
This shout might have been made by some magic, for the old man's eyes became a little empty and he started mumbling something.
Biju listened quietly. The old man took a long time to finish speaking. Perhaps he was a chatterbox and his true colors were more apparent when his mind was controlled.
"Your Highness, he..."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "I said, it's just the two of us, you can call me Ming, or husband."
Bizhu was somewhat helpless. She ignored Lu Ming's words and continued, "Mei Zangha Ya said that he actually came to thank us."
Lu Ming nodded. The helicopter's transport capacity was limited, and it would not fly back and forth specifically to transport supplies to this small tribe. It just brought some salt, clothes, etc. when it picked up the translator.
In addition, this small tribe was given a radio, which could receive signals from the outside world. They could not understand the content of the radio, but the voices and music inside were enough to terrify them.
Bizhu continued, "But he has a secret in his heart. When we asked the natives if there were any underground secret passages here, he remembered a legend from his ancestors, but he was always afraid of us, so he didn't tell us."
Oh? Lu Ming perked up, "What legend?"
"The legend of the Eight Bears Land says that in the Eight Bears Land deep in the mountains, ancient immortals once built a ladder to heaven."
Lu Ming stood up immediately and said, "Let's go and take a look at that Eight Bears Land."
