Chapter 309 Separate and Site

The Desert of No Return is desolate and uninhabited. I walked eastward along the edge without encountering any obstacles.

Although all of them are good horses, the journey is too long and the things they bring are too heavy.The group of people walked fast and slow, and it took two months to see the rolling mountains in the east.

The Sunset Mountains are approaching.

Ren Ning looked at the compass and compared it with the map.

"From here to the south, it should be the border or fortress between the two countries."

Gu Datou and the other soldiers nodded, their faces became serious.

This also means that if they walk south for a few days, they will enter the melee zone.It is possible to encounter scouts from both the enemy and us or even a large army at any time.

"Is the fort still in our hands?" Someone hesitated.

When you are in the west, you can see long queues going east along the way.I don't know how many people from various tribes in Xiliang sent eastward.

The others laughed loudly, "Do you still have to ask?"

As long as they stayed in the fortress, almost no soldiers would doubt that Xiliang people could capture it.

Even when the epidemic is at its worst and everyone moves out of the fortress.

Both Ren Ning and Lei Er's wealth were entrusted to the caravan to go east, but the two of them took it easy.

"Brothers, Lei Er and I take a step first. You follow up later. Only when you see the safety signs we set up can you continue to move forward. Understand?"

"This..." Gu Datou and the others were a little embarrassed.

No matter Lei Er or Ren Ning, their military ranks are much higher than theirs, but now they are scouting the way ahead for them.

This is not appropriate.

"What is this!" Lei Er was annoyed, "When did you learn how to be a mother-in-law?"

"When you were in Kailun, I taught you so many ways to identify signs, have you not forgotten them?"

Gu Datou and the others quickly straightened their backs and replied loudly: "No!"

These are the essence of war summed up by Ren Ning. They have gone through many actual combat tests and can save their lives when necessary.

The small soldiers like Gu Datou survived the chaotic war and survived until now, so they know the importance of these things. Although learning is very boring, they still force themselves to learn how to chew and swallow.

Ren Ning and the two didn't say any more, they separated each other by about twenty miles, and headed south first.

Checking the surroundings while walking, this is hardly a problem for Ren Ning who has a golden finger and a telescope.

After walking for another ten days, everything around was peaceful.

Occasionally, I saw one or two corpses that were already highly decomposed, and I don't know how long they had been dead.

If he saw one of his own people, Ren Ning would help him bury them and tidy up the other party's belongings casually.

This evening, he had just set up a safety mark in the bushes and was about to rest.

clang!clang!clang……

Suddenly, a dull bell sounded from afar in the south.

The sound was neither too fast nor too slow, and only knocked once every ten breaths.

Ren Ning cheered up, stood up and counted silently.

"One, two, three... ten!"

Perfect.

This is the great bell of the fortress ringing.Tell the fortress and its surroundings that everything is safe.Everyone can rest assured.

It seems that not only is the fortress still in Yunchui's hands, but it has even started to operate again.

Ren Ning was more at ease now, and fell asleep.

If you can hear the bell, you are not far from the fortress.

The next day, he and Lei Erhui would get together and silently wait for Gu Datou and the others behind him.

After waiting for another three days, the two sides will meet again.

Ren Ning took out a leather bag.

The bag was bulging and sealed with sealing wax.

Inside is a map of Xiliang drawn by Ren Ning.

The original map had a lot of blank spaces.But Allen and Youmeng followed the caravan to the Prairie King's Court, and with the addition of Matthew and others, they can be considered to have drawn a general idea.

Secondly, there are also the existing numbers, strength and surrounding terrain maps of the large tribes in Xiliang, including Angel, as well as suggestions for attack or sneak attack.

The third is Hu Ting Tuochi's own handwritten essay on the king of grassland.

Finally, there is the location of Kailun Stone Forest, the method to ask for help when necessary, and the connection code.

"Big head and Lao Lu, the things in the bag are extremely important, and must be handed over to the general guard. No one else is allowed."

"Understood?" Ren Ning's face was serious.

"Understood!" Gu Datou and Lu Youtian straightened their faces, "I promise to hand it over to General Huo and never hand it over to a third person."

Ren Ning and Lei Er took out the relics they found along the way, "This is the relic of the brothers, let's take it back together."

"Yes!" Gu Datou nodded.

When they went south, they couldn't see some remains, so they naturally knew what to do.

"Go. We will meet later!" Ren Ning and Lei Er waved goodbye.

"General/Old Ren..." Many soldiers had complex expressions.

It's just that there are too many people in the fortress, and it's not suitable for Ren Ning to appear in his current capacity.

They had to give up.

Gu Datou laughed, "There will be a period later! I hope that it won't be long before I can fight with Lao Ren again and kill Xiliang!"

The two sides handed over, without any more nonsense, they parted ways directly.

Seeing more than 180 riders slowly disappearing to the south, Lei Er asked, "How do we go now?"

Ren Ning looked southeast.

"Find a windmill communication point first, and see if General Wei and General Guan have any instructions. If not, we will go directly back to Guangxin."

With binoculars, it is easy to find the windmill communication point.

In the afternoon of the second day, the two touched a hill and placed the identification marks of the Starfall Legion. It didn't take long for soldiers to come out to meet them.

"What a good horse." The little soldier looked enviously at the two tall horses, Zhui Feng and Ben Lei, "I wonder who they are?"

Ren Ning and the two laughed without saying a word.

Xiaobing came to his senses, scratching his head and laughing.

The identification mark set by Ren Ning is no longer at a level that he can inquire about.

Turning left and right, he led the two of them into a hidden tunnel.

There were a few soldiers resting in the cave, and they couldn't help being stunned when they suddenly saw an unfamiliar face.

"Old Zhu, who are they?"

Old Zhu, who was leading the way, ignored them and asked respectfully, "I wonder if the two generals want to send a letter to the legion, or do they want to know some information?"

Ren Ning remained silent, but looked around.

The layout inside and outside the cave was similar to his original idea, so he nodded with satisfaction, "The distribution is good, everyone has worked hard."

A few soldiers straightened their backs quickly, "It's not hard."

Ren Ning nodded, and cut to the chase: "I'm going to read the letters from Guangxin or Xingluo County in the past two months?"

Lao Zhu and several other soldiers acted quickly, and delivered three letters to Ren Ning in a short while.

"General, the situation in the fortress and Dingxi has been relatively stable recently. Neither the Yingshan Camp nor the Houxue Camp have any instructions. Therefore, there are only these three letters."

Ren Ning nodded.

He looked up.

Letters are written in pinyin.

The soldiers at the site were illiterate, they only knew to press the "password" to send a message to the communication station further west. As for what the crooked things above represented, they couldn't understand a single word.

Ren Ning and Lei Er naturally have no problem.

After the two finished watching, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Guangxin and Xingluo are fine. Wei Junqian just expressed to the fortress that they will try their best to move their defense to the west in August.

One of the letters also mentioned them.

The two have been west for so long, Wei Junqian hoped that if Huo Ling, the general who defended the fortress, received Ren Ning's request for help, he would try his best to help.

Lei Er had a strange expression on his face.

If he didn't know the details of Ren Ning, otherwise he would have suspected that Wei Junqian had an illegitimate son who fell into the Grand Master's Mansion.

Since there was nothing else to do, the two of them rested for a while, left the hidden site directly, and set foot on their way home.
