Chapter 899: The Quest (I)

The old man is fighting in the front, and he can help as a son, although he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but he can make ideas in the back, and the pit people can still do it.

Of course, when the people in the Japanese country were playing dog brains, it seemed a little unauthentic to let people send troops to fight Tsushima, but it was not the Tang people who died left and right, and what if they were beaten, everything only depends on how those Japanese people operate, and if they get a good one, they can use other forces to achieve their goals without much effort.

However, Li Chengqian will not remind them, let them understand everything by themselves, if they can understand the doorway, then let Yang Tianhe make a good move, kill the guy who came up with the idea, and take it as a reward.

With such and such thoughts in his heart, Li Chengqian left this small shop that belonged to the contact point of the 'Seventh Group', and returned to the East Palace surrounded by a group of people.

At the same time, the hard-pressed Wu Yuanshuang was struggling through the yellow sand.

This unlucky guy was unlucky, originally Li Chengqian sent him to the Western Regions to let him get along with Li Yuanchang and provoke that guy to rebel, but he didn't expect to wait until Wu Yuanshuang arrived in the Western Regions to find out that Li Yuanchang had already obeyed the law and was escorted back to the Tang Dynasty.

In desperation, Wu Yuanshuang could only stay in the Western Regions and blended into the Western Regions Army.

But a guy like him, who relies on his whiskers and flamboyant tongue to get to the top, is not popular at all in the Western Regions Legion, and he can't stand up, and he will always be ridiculed and excluded every day.

A few days ago, Wei Chi Baolin was even more excessive, and even arranged for him to notify all the former Qiuci vassal states within a thousand miles of the surrounding area, and each transferred 1,500 cavalry to assemble outside Qiuci City, but he didn't mention the purpose at all.

Although Wu Yuanshuang, who was extremely depressed, was unwilling in his heart, when he saw the law enforcement team walking around, he gritted his teeth and accepted this task, and embarked on the 'journey' with fifty horsemen 'fangs'.

The weather in the desert is changeable, this is only the third day of the trip, Wu Yuanshuang and his party encountered the fourth gale, looking at the 'fanged' knights around him one by one pulled down the goggles on their heads, Wu Lao Er gave himself a slap in the face, and then tightened the thin silk on his head and followed the team to keep moving forward.

"Wu Erlang, how is it, can you still hold on?" During the difficult march, the accompanying 'Fang' squad leader came to Wu Yuanshuang's side and shouted loudly. However, it is the same Wu Erlang, and the one in front of him is not a little worse than the Wu Erlang hundreds of years later.

"It's okay, Lao Qiu, it's getting dark this day, and if you don't find a place to rest, I'm afraid we'll have to spend the night in the wind." Wu Yuanshuang has been mixed in the Western Regions Army for several months, and has been educated a lot by Wei Chi Baolin, Wang Xuance and others, and his temperament has obviously converged a lot, and he has no intention of pretending to be calves in such a harsh climate, and he is very polite to these 'fanged' veterans.

"If you can persevere, let's take a look again, now there is not even a sheltered place in this place, there is no way to set up camp at all." Qiu Tian with goggles looked funny, but what he said was not funny at all, there was really no way to camp on a windy day like this if there was no shelter from the wind.

"Then let's go on, but after I go back this time, can you bring me one of your mirrors, this one of mine is too ugly." Wu Yuanshuang pointed to the silk cloth on his head.

Although this thing can block some sand, it can't block the wind, and it is blurry and blurry in front of the head and always can't see things clearly, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

"Okay, after I go back, I want to remind me, and I will ask you for a pair when the time comes, there are still a lot of these things in logistics, they were all sent with the caravan last time, I really don't know what you did at the time, and you didn't go to get a pair." Qiu Tian, the leader of the 'Fang' hundred-person squad, led his horse and dragged Wu Yuanshuang, who was already out of breath, and walked forward with difficulty, and he didn't forget to complain about him for a word or two.

On a windy day like this, whether it is a person or a horse, it is very laborious to walk, and if a person rides on a horse because of the resistance of the wind, it is almost impossible to walk an inch, so in desperation, everyone can only lead the horse and walk forward.

However, in the face of Qiu Tian's complaints, Wu Yuanshuang said bitterly, Lao Tzu came here to be a spy, not to fight, God knew that he would be sent out to carry out such an unfortunate task one day, if he had known that there was today, he would have to get a pair of goggles when he said anything.

"Captain, this weather doesn't seem right, do we want to move on?" Just when the two of them had a match, a squad leader who was exploring the way in front stepped back and asked Qiu Tian.

"I know it's wrong, but it's too late to go back now, so let's keep walking, hopefully we'll be there before the winds get there." Qiu Tian made a gesture to continue moving forward, and continued to walk forward without a pause.

Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and this is the first sentence they learn on the first day they join the 'Fangs', so no matter what difficulties lie ahead, the 'Fangs' will not back down as long as they receive orders.

Don't say that they are now located in the Gobi, there will be no risk of being covered by sand dunes and falling into quicksand, even if they are in the yellow sand desert, they may be buried by the yellow sand at any time, before they complete the task, even if they only save one person, they will go on firmly, this is the 'fangs', it is the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty!

However, the 'fangs' walked forward without complaint, but Wu Yuanshuang was about to go crazy, he was not a 'fang', nor did he belong to the Western Regions Legion, he was just an unruly in Chang'an City.

In the face of such a strong wind, and in the face of the danger that he might be blown away by the strong wind at any time, Wu Yuanshuang now can't wait to turn around and walk back immediately, and return to the camp last night, at least there is a stone mountain there to block the wind and sand.

Time passed little by little, and the marching team had been walking against the wind, and from time to time someone would be blown down by the wind, and then dragged back by a rope pulled by their companions.

The head of the war horse has already been wrapped with a thick silk cloth, ensuring that the horse will not be killed at the same time, whether it can see the road is no longer important, anyway, someone is leading, it will not be lost.

Wu Yuanshuang was already tired and fainted, and was thrown on top of a simple wooden shelf, dragged forward by a war horse, and his body was already blue and purple, without a single bit of good meat.

If you know today, why bother in the first place! This was Wu Yuanshuang's last thought before he fell into a coma, he shouldn't have promised His Royal Highness the young prince in the first place, and he shouldn't have come to the barren land of the Western Regions to gamble his life.

In the desolate Gobi Desert, the lonely 'Fangs' team dragged their tired bodies forward with difficulty, and at the moment when they were about to exhaust their strength, a black shadow appeared in the distant sky ...... the faint morning light.
