Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 464 Vitality?

The sun was already in the west, and Zeng Tai wandered anxiously waiting for the news of Fang Zhe's army.

With the sound of horseshoes outside the shed, Zeng Tai rushed out in three steps and two steps. A postman jumped off his horse and rushed to Zeng Tai: "My lord!"

Zeng Tai asked eagerly: "How is it? Is there any news from the army?"

The postman said: "Two hours ago, the scouts led [-] government soldiers into the desert, and they sent out letters every half an hour. So far, they have penetrated [-] miles into the desert and have not encountered the army of the Liberation Movement."

Zeng Tai blurted out: "It shouldn't be. From entering the desert to Liangzhou, there is only a total of more than 100 miles. Could it be that the army is really lost... Get me a horse and go and have a look!"

……

The sun was as poisonous as a knife, cutting on the soldiers in the desert.

The soldiers were hungry and thirsty, and some of them could not wait to remove their robes and left their upper body naked. Everyone's skin was sunburned and burst, and their lips were dry and turned out.

The soldiers were dangling on their horses, precariously on the verge of falling.

The army marched slowly in the desert.

"Bang" and "bang", several soldiers and horses of the Chinese army escorting the silver car fell on the sandy ground, and the people around hurriedly surrounded them, and saw several soldiers lying on the ground, falling over and over again. Furious, he muttered in his mouth: "Water, give me some water..."

The war horse next to him was foaming at the mouth and twitching all over.

Fang Zhe and Lieutenant General Liao Wenqing walked over quickly. Fang Zhe knelt down to inspect the soldiers on the ground, and nodded to Liao Wenqing beside him.

Liao Wenqing took out the water bag from behind, squeezed out half a bowl of water, touched the faces of several people, and wiped their lips with his hands dipped in water.

Several soldiers greedily licked the little drop of water on their lips.

Fang Zhe didn't seem to have any good solution after seeing it, so he stood up.

At this time, a captain behind him whispered: "General, if you continue walking like this, the brothers will all be finished."

Fang Zhe turned his head and looked at the captain.

The captain said: "General, give some water to the brothers..."

Fang Zhe smiled wryly, "Do you think I don't want to?"

After speaking, he said to Liao Wenqing beside him, "Let the brothers see how much water we still have."

Liao Wenqing looked at Fang Zhe and then at the soldiers, took out the leather bag that had just been squeezed, and thousands of eyes greedily stared at the leather bag.

Liao Wenqing opened the cork and turned the leather bag upside down - there was not even a drop of water.

The soldiers hissed in despair, and many simply sat on the ground.

Fang Zhe told the captain: "Order all the troops to rest where they are."

The captain got the order and turned around to pass on the message.

Fang Zhe sat down on the sand dune, thinking of countermeasures.

Liao Wenqing who was beside him whispered, "General, it seems that we have lost our way."

Fang Zhe nodded: "Yes, there is no marker, no reference, and the compass is not accurate in the desert..."

Liao Wenqing said: "Without water, the army has collapsed."

Fang Zhe said with a wry smile: "Yes, if you order to move forward, they will kill me."

Liao Wenqing hoped that Fang Zhe had some good ideas: "What should we do now?"

Fang Zhe also has no good solution: "What else can I do, wait, after dark, the temperature drops, and the demand for water may not be so great.

If we can survive tonight, the Liangzhou rescuers will definitely go into the desert tomorrow to find our whereabouts, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life. "

Liao Wenqing replied: "That's all."

At this time, only an exclamation came from behind: "Look!"

Fang Zhe and Liao Wenqing looked back, and saw a puff of smoke rising from the desert in the distance, like white mist at first, and then getting thicker and thicker.

Fang Zhe and Liao Wenqing looked at each other suspiciously.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and the air waves on the ground steamed up.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared at the end of the horizon, and the shadow kept shaking, like a person walking.

One captain jumped up and shouted, "Look, there's someone!"

The soldiers stood up slowly, staring fixedly at the distant horizon, hoping that the rescue troops would come to rescue them.

Fang Zhe and Liao Wenqing also stood up.

The shadow floated on the sandy sea, getting closer and closer, the army finally saw clearly, a group of people in black robes were like a dark cloud riding the wind over the desert, like ghosts floating over the desert, Getting closer and closer to the army.

Someone shouted: "It's the god in black!"

All the troops suddenly became confused: "What, the black-clothed god! Is it really the black-clothed god?"

"I heard that the god in black often kills merchants in the desert."

"Yes, I've heard of it too."

"Ah, are they here to kill us?"

"I don't know, brothers, I don't think the situation is right, let's copy guys."

All the sergeants took up arms and prepared to resist.

With doubts in Fang Zhe's eyes, he slowly pulled out the saber stuck in the sand.

Liao Wenqing who was at the side said, "General, these people float here, are they really black-clothed gods?"

Fang Zhe asked in a low voice: "What is the black-clothed god?"

Liao Wenqing replied: "The local people say that there is a 'Mountain of Darkness' nearby, and a group of black-clothed gods live in the mountain.

These gods are in charge of everything in the desert, from the weather to the life and death of traveling merchants.Difficult, did we really meet today? "

Fang Zhe thought in his heart, if this is the case, it will be a tough battle.

He immediately stood on top of the sand sea with his sword horizontally, and raised his eyes to look forward.

The man in black gradually drifted closer.

It can be clearly seen that the faces of these gods in black are wearing masks made of bronze.

Fang Zhe slowly pulled out his waist knife, and Liao Wenqing who was beside him said softly, "General, if it is really a black-clothed god, it is useless to resist."

Fang Zhe turned his head abruptly, looking directly at Liao Wenqing.

Liao Wenqing said: "It's better to wait and see what happens."

Fang Zhe hesitated.

The man in black floated closer and closer.

Fang Zhe suddenly raised the knife in his palm and shouted loudly: "Ready to fight!"

The troops quickly lined up in battle formation and silently spread out to the two wings, surrounding hundreds of carriages loaded with salaries in the center.

Suddenly, the soldiers in front shouted: "General, they have water and food!"

Fang Zhe took a closer look, and sure enough, the man in black robe was holding a huge silver vessel, which looked like a jug, and the person behind him was holding a silver tray, which seemed to have fruits and food on it.

Fang Zhe was stunned, and looked at Liao Wenqing beside him.

Liao Wenqing said suspiciously: "It seems that they have no malicious intentions."

Fang Zhe didn't speak.

I saw the black-robed man's feet were off the ground, light and agile, as if flying over the sand dunes, and he was approaching in the blink of an eye.

The knife in Fang Zhe's hand moved, and Liao Wenqing pressed his hand: "General, the gods in black are not to be messed with. Look, they ride the wind and don't touch the ground. They are not gods or gods!"

Fang Zhe's hands trembled.

Liao Wenqing said again: "General, once the gods are angered, we will really die without a place to die!"

Fang Zhe hesitated.

In an instant, the black-robed man was in front of the army.

The leader waved his hand, and the group stopped.

The army quietly looked at these black-clothed gods.

Fang Zhe's hand holding the knife was already soaked in sweat, and he stared at the leader of the men in black.

The leader tilted the silver pot in his hand slightly, and the clear water in it fell on the dry sand with a "swipe".

All the soldiers cheered immediately: "The god in black is here to save us!"

"Brothers, let's go!"

The soldiers who had already been thirsty couldn't hold back any longer, shouted joyously and threw down the weapons in their hands, and rushed forward to surround the black-robed men with their mouths open. Before people's feet.

The silver pot in the hands of the man in black was tilted, and the clear water gushed out, poured into the mouths of the sergeants, and rushed to the faces of the sergeants, cheering all over the place.

The harsh desert turned into a paradise of joy in an instant.

Fang Zhe let out a long mouth, and put the waist knife back into its sheath.
