Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 301
How could Yeluci fail to hear her sarcasm, and immediately frowned and said: "The Queen Mother, you should worry about yourself, you don't need to worry about other things, come here, catch her, you have to catch her alive .”

This time Huo Mingzhu really didn't intend to be caught so soon, especially when she heard Yeluci say to catch alive, she became even more unscrupulous.

As soon as those soldiers made a move, Huo Mingzhu followed suit. She turned her head and ran towards the tent area where people lived.

The soldiers quickly chased after Huo Mingzhu, trying to catch Huo Mingzhu to receive the reward. In their hearts, under the current situation, Huo Mingzhu is in their pocket. The key is who stretched out the hand to grab this woman Dedicate her to the second prince.

This side is busy catching Huo Mingzhu, while on the other side, Baili Jingqi has sneaked into the camel circle.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to find and discover the place where they stored drinking water. Unexpectedly, the team leader reminded him that he mentioned camels, which made Baili Jingqi quickly think that the people from Mobei and The relationship between camels, and he has also read his notes on the subtle relationship between camels and people.

Among them, it is mentioned that camels are ships of the desert, and there are secrets hidden in their stomachs. They can survive for days and nights without eating anything.

Therefore, Baili Jingqi guessed that the water was in the camel's belly.

If not, how could Yeluci have sent so many soldiers here to guard the camels.

At this moment, Baili Jingqi had already walked out of the camel enclosure. Yeluci had brought [-] camels for this trip, and all of them were enclosed together and taken care of by special personnel.

After Baili Jingqi approached, they became very unsteady and walked back and forth, but the circle was too crowded and they couldn't let them move more.

Baili Jingqi observed for a long time, but did not find where the water was hidden.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Baili Jingqi was caught, but instead of doubting his identity, he noticed that he looked a little funny staring at the camel, so he shouted.

Baili Jingqi turned his head and saw that it was a simple-minded soldier, so he smiled and said, "Just now the general asked me to clean up the camel circle. I was thinking about how to do it."

"Then you must be someone who doesn't understand camels." When the fool heard that he was sent by the general, he believed it was true, and without any further investigation, he opened the railing of the circle and let Baili Jingqi in.

This circle is also very common to be temporarily surrounded by a few wooden sticks. Camels are very human animals, not much different from horses. As long as they are placed here and enclosed, they will not run around. I understand that in this desert, even if you run around, you can't get anywhere.

Baili Jingqi looked at the silly boy with a smile and said, "It's true that I don't understand much. When I was young, my family was poor and I never saw a camel."

"Oh, you don't have to understand. Don't look at this camel, it's so tall and docile. It's amazing. It can carry heavy things, and it won't be hungry or thirsty. It's amazing." The small eyes are full of admiration.

Baili Jingqi held back his impatience, and patiently listened to the silly boy's constant praise of the camel's various things, talking to the point of no fun, without caring whether others listened or not.

Baili Jingqi thought to himself, could it be that in the eyes of Huo Mingzhu in the past, he was so annoying and could not be angry with him.

It seems that there is such a thing, in the past, I often saw impatience in Huo Mingzhu's eyes, and I suppressed it, presumably because of this, thinking of this, Baili Jingqi smiled softly.

That silly boy didn't know why, looked at Baili Jingqi and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Of course I'm joking. We have such a powerful camel, so we're afraid that we won't be able to defeat that Dayong." Baili Jingqi hurriedly found a way to talk.

The silly boy nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and echoed: "That's it, as long as Dayong is defeated, we people in Mobei don't need to go hungry anymore. Dayong has everything, we can eat and eat meat, we in Mobei People who live here have to worry about these things, isn’t it frustrating.”

Hearing that silly boy's words, Baili Jingqi was also in a panic, if you, Mobei, were willing to submit to Dayong, of course he would treat you equally, Mobei is not about production, but only thinking about plundering, how can there be such a cheap thing.

The silly boy didn't hear Baili Jingqi's agreement, so he leaned over and asked, "Do you think so?"

"What is it?" Baili Jingqi frowned and asked.

"Of course after defeating Dayong, our common people will be able to live a better life, don't you think so?" The silly boy really didn't give up and insisted on getting the answer.

Baili Jingqi had no choice but to nod: "Maybe."

"That would be great." The silly boy smiled foolishly.

Baili Jingqi was not in the mood to gossip with him so much, so he pretended to be very affectionate and asked the silly boy: "Brother, let me ask you, where is there water to drink, I have been thirsty for a long time, because that It was on fire, and I didn't dare to drink it, so I let the general send me here."

As soon as the silly boy heard that he wanted to drink water, he said, "Drinking water is very simple. I will take you there."

After a while, the silly boy led Baili Jingqi to a small lake.

Baili Jingqi looked at it and was dumbfounded.

Why there is a small lake here, he doesn't know.

This is not the territory of Dayong, even though it is a small lake dug artificially, the water here was poured in by Yeluci, just waiting for them to use it when they attack the city here.

If it is not used now, how would Yeluci dare to spend so much time to station such a huge army in the desert, isn't it courting death?

With the existence of this small lake, no matter how many soldiers come, they will not be afraid. Where there is water, there is hope.

For a long time, Baili Jingqi didn't move, the silly boy touched his elbow and said, "Aren't you thirsty? Drink, there is a lot of water here, you can drink as much as you want."

Baili Jingqi didn't want to drink it at all, but now it's impossible not to drink it, and people will be suspicious if he doesn't drink it, so Baili Jingqi bit the bullet and drank it.

Needless to say, the water here is quite sweet, and after drinking it, he felt a little thirsty, so he drank a few more sips, and then returned to that silly boy's side contentedly.

The silly boy smiled and said to him, "Isn't it delicious? The gods are attached to us in Mobei. They gave us a small lake in this desert so that we won't be thirsty."

"There are so many of us, how can there be enough to drink?" This small lake is really small, and people can see the whole picture.

The silly boy said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I can't finish it. It just so happened that I also participated in the digging of this small lake. It was very deep. When the water came out, the ground was actually hollowed out." Speaking of this, The smile on the silly boy's face disappeared: "For this reason, many soldiers died."

"Oh?" Baili Jingqi raised his eyebrows and looked at the silly boy.

The silly boy said: "Isn't that right? The second prince asked us to dig out as much water as possible when digging here that day. Fortunately, there is also yellow mud under the sand. Remove the sand and gravel and dig out the yellow mud below. After digging about six meters deep, water came out. Everyone was very excited when the water came out, so they all tried their best to dig it up. Unexpectedly, a spring surged from the ground, instantly filling the small lake. It was filled, but it took the lives of many soldiers."

Baili Jingqi heard it, it turns out that this small lake still contains secrets, but now is not the time to explore the secrets, he has to find a way to destroy this water source.

According to this silly boy, it is impossible for the water source to dry up, so we can only think of other ways.

Baili Jingqi was thinking about destroying the water source, so the idiot continued to say: "Fortunately, there is this water, otherwise, if we stay in this desert for a day, the water brought here will not be enough. If there is not enough water , we can only drink camel blood, hey, poor camel, there is not much blood for people to drink, if there is really no water, we don’t need to fight this battle, we are all lost.”

Baili Jingqi listened to his chatter all the way, and after arriving at the camel circle, another soldier ran over and said to the silly boy: "Hurry up, step up your guard, don't let that thief run away, the second prince found the thief just now, but it's a pity that he didn't Catch it, I guess it will come here now."

As soon as Baili Jingqi heard it, he knew that Huo Mingzhu had run away.

He never thought that Huo Mingzhu could run away, but he expected to send her back to Yeluci to divert people's attention, destroy the water source, and then go back to rescue Huo Mingzhu, and finally took her to escape.
