Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 399 A Smile·Yellow Spring

(12)

I climbed over countless grassy slopes and trekked for days and nights.In order to avoid the pursuers, they deliberately detoured from the main road, took a detour, and finally found their destination on the vast green land—another team heard the news and came to join them.

The leader of the team chatted with the guards of the camp for a while, and then followed the guide boy into the camp.

There are about 50 people in this team, and there are no more than ten armored people. Most of the people are terrified, and they seem to be caused by running away in a hurry, but everyone is preparing horses. It is said that they stole horses from He Basheng's account at night. .

It was the time for dinner, and all the big camps were cooking soup, and the smoke from the cooking was floating in the air, which was very attractive.This is undoubtedly a great temptation for the team that just entered the camp.

They are short of food and water due to the day-to-day running around, their lips are chapped, they are hungry and weak, and their eyes are bloodshot due to lack of rest. If they can drink a bowl of broth and sleep at this time, there is nothing better than this There are better things.

Soon, the smell of meat and spices grabbed everyone's heart like an invisible hand.

"Brother, brothers have not eaten or drank for several days and nights, I wonder if you can..."

"You said it earlier! Why is this so difficult?" The guide boy said: "Come, come, share a bowl of soup with the new brothers!"

"it is good!"

After all, the soldiers of each battalion cordially invited them, and many of them were acquainted with those in that team. After all, most of you present were from the Allied Forces of the Six Towns, and they belonged to the same command. Now they just became comrades-in-arms again.

Recruits and veterans, old acquaintances and new acquaintances, everyone gathered together to drink soup and eat meat.But after a while, the people in the new team realized that being here was completely different from when they were under Heba's tent.

The soldiers here are always smiling, but they don't feel frivolous; they are free, but they don't feel loose; they clearly live on the battlefield, but they don't feel surly.

You can see someone playing the piano for fun while eating, someone squatting in a basin to take a bath outside the tent, someone polishing their weapons near the blacksmith, and someone practicing martial arts on the school grounds. Everything is harmonious and orderly.

"Hey!" A woman's voice came from nowhere, and a young man thought about it: "Brother, do you still have women here?"

"Ah? Are you talking about Miss Shen?" Someone replied: "Look, she has been practicing swinging a sword for the past two days! Although this girl is inexperienced, please don't mess with her." He bullied In the past, he said softly: "It is said that our General Huang Quan likes her..."

"Swinging a sword?" The boy said, "Could it be that she wants to use the sword to chop down that wooden stake?"

"Hey, who knows? I reckon anyone with a sound head should be able to understand how it is possible to chop down such a thick wooden pile with a sword?"

During the speech, Shen Qiongzhi's snoring never stopped. She stood in front of the wooden stake that was a bit taller than herself and kept repeating the movements of swinging and retracting the sword, but the effect was minimal. After two days of hard work, nothing changed. There was only a cut less than half an inch deep.

Such thick and solid wooden stakes are often used as tent pillars. Shen Qiongzhi may not know about such things, but she has already secretly guessed in her heart: Bai Feng will not let her pass the test easily.

After a while, Huang Yixiao responded. He came to the new team and asked, "Where are you guys from?"

Hearing this, the leader immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands in respect: "General, we are originally under He Basheng's command, but we accidentally delayed the military situation. If we still want to return to our command, we will be beheaded for public display, so we chose to come here to join General Huangquan. With General Baifeng."

"It doesn't matter, the soldiers here are also the subordinates of the Heba Clan." Huang Yixiao said: "My lord, Huang Yixiao, if you guys appreciate your face, please call me General Huangquan. General Baifeng is thinking about important military affairs, so he can't get out and come here You wait for a while to rest, and then send someone to settle down."

"Yes, thank you, General Huang Quan!" the leader said, then knelt down and kowtowed, followed by dozens of other people.

"Okay, get up, everyone is brothers." As soon as Huang Yi finished his joke, he noticed Shen Qiongzhi who was still struggling to swing his sword by the school grounds, and he walked over and asked, "Miss Shen, are you hungry?" ?”

"Not hungry." Shen Qiongzhi returned and swung his sword again.

"I think you can't even hold your sword steadily." Huang Yixiao walked to the soldier's tent and scooped up a bowl of broth, then brought it to Shen Qiongzhi, and continued to ask: "Do you want to continue?"

"Of course!" Shen Qiongzhi said discouragedly: "Even you look down on me, don't you?"

"How could it be? You were recommended by me. If you don't believe me, go ask General Baifeng yourself." Huang Yixiao replied, "But if a person doesn't eat, he won't have the energy to fight." He passed the broth more It's getting closer, and the mutton soup with a slightly fishy aroma will greatly increase your appetite.

Shen Qiongzhi nodded, reluctantly accepting the kindness.She drank up the broth in one gulp, then picked up the meat scraps with her bare hands and put them in her mouth, disregarding her ladylike image at all. The hard-working and approachable Shen Qiongzhi who took care of the wounded on weekdays no longer exists at this moment.

"Hahaha..." Huang Yixiao suddenly sneered and said, "If Miss Shen is not full, go there to fill it up by yourself." After saying that, everyone laughed and sighed.

After eating and drinking enough, Shen Qiongzhi started his training again.After hundreds of times of swinging the sword, she slowly explored the most energy-saving method, but she still couldn't hurt the wooden post in front of her at all, instead the iron sword in her hand became more and more blunt.

An unexplained sense of foreboding gradually came to my mind.

The third and last day.

According to the usual practice, Shen Qiongzhi came to the stake alone to prepare early in the morning, and then began today's test.

After three full days of precipitation, her heart has become extremely quiet from the hot blood at that time.She began to think about why she insisted on taking up arms and enlisting in the army.Do you want to avenge the servant who protected you?Or do you want to kill all those Rouran people who want to offend and humiliate themselves?
"Are these enough?" She thought to herself, "What else am I missing...the holy tree, the holy land, why do I always feel empty in my heart."

She picked up the sword and continued to swing.

"I don't know... I can't figure it out either."

"I can only swing the sword, just swing the sword! As long as I can cut down this wooden stake, can I figure it out?"

"First, second, third..."

Shen Qiongzhi was thinking silently in her heart, just like what she had done in the past few days.Suddenly, with a bang, the iron sword was chopped off by her, breaking in two on the spot.
