Volume 9 Chapter 24

After the failure of the joint efforts of the 15th Xiyi army to move eastward, president Zhang killed the 15th King overnight with a sword, and finally was killed by the Yunqin army. Before escaping to the desert behind the Prajna corridor, the 15th Xiyi army was always the master of biluoling. /

before the eastward advance, the fifteen Xiyi tribes were small and equal countries in Yunqin's eyes. The population of the fifteen Xiyi tribes was nearly one-third of that of Yunqin at that time. Because the fifteen Xiyi tribes were nomadic and nomadic people, they could fight except for women and children and the elderly and the sick. The total number of troops in the eastward advance even exceeded that of Yunqin at that time.

It is because the climate of biluoling is suitable, the water and grass are rich, and the land is very vast.

According to the custom of dividing the southeast, northwest and middle of Yunqin, biluoling actually occupied a quarter of the whole western territory of the Empire, equivalent to the total area of two to three provinces.

The biggest reason why biliuoling is called the mausoleum without provincial division is that such a large area of land was snatched from Xiyi 15. At that time, Xiyi 15 lived in flowing tents. With the climate moving among some mausoleums and grasslands, there was no urban outline or a city.

At that time, biliuoling was sparsely populated. After a great war, all the fifteen Xiyi tribes withdrew from biliuoling, although many herdsmen moved in, it was even more sparsely populated than before.

Such a large area with suitable climate and rich water and grass is of great value to the Empire of Yun Qin. It's only decades since Yun Qin really established the country. A large river and mountain just laid down, with its population and city expanding in some dense places, has not been able to expand here yet. And since people's Cang Yue took the place of biluoling, this area has not been able to expand here It seems more peaceful.

In the past decades, the fifteen Xiyi tribes even dreamed of returning to biluoling.

From a place full of running water, green grass, woods and where people can live and eat comfortably just by hunting and herding some cattle, sheep, elk and deer, being driven into the yellow sand desert where drinking water is a problem and there are only some thorn trees and cacti, the gap between them and the desire to restore the original life can be imagined.

The tortoise and fur Department of the fifteen Xiyi tribes originally lived in the vast mountains and fields between the Jingtian lake and the Tongtian River in biluoling for generations. This Xiyi tribe, regardless of men and women, has always liked to shave into a tough bald head, tattoo like a tortoise on the scalp, wear a silver nose ring, and wear clothes made of fish skin and animal skin. Because they occupy a large area of water, so the fish meat is also It's one of their staple foods.

It's very fishy. The normal Yunqin people smell that the raw fish blood that is going to be nauseous is mixed with the tender corn that is just wrapped. It's their favorite pre dinner dish.

Xiyi's fifteen departments were originally kings of each other. Occasionally, they had to fight against each other, but they were not united. When they joined hands to move eastward, they were united and immediately dispersed. After being defeated and fleeing into the desert, the strength of Guiqiu was lower than that of other parts of Xiyi. Under the pressure of Yunqin army and other parts, Guiqiu retreated to Guiming mountain and ghost city in the desert.

The ghost city is a relic of an ancient kingdom that was eroded by wind and sand thousands of years ago. Countless weathered palaces and houses, plus countless small and large weathered mountains and moving sand dunes, form a huge maze.

Without a guide, even the experienced Yunqin army would lose its way.

It's safe to hide in the ghost city at ordinary times, but from time to time, there will be big sandstorms. To drink water, you can only keep a few small underground water sources that will stop flowing from time to time, dig many large and deep water storage pits, and store the rain that only falls two or three times a year in the desert. However, in many cases, the water will be extremely insufficient, and you can only risk being hanged by the Yunqin army In danger, send a team through the Prajna corridor to get water or rob some caravans escorted by monks.

The staple food has become the mesophyll of some unsavory cacti, the sand scorpion in the desert, the lizard and the meat of the humped camel.

Because the number of people is too large to hide the trace, it's not just the ghost fur department. All the people of the 15th Xiyi Department fled into the desert and found a place to survive. After that, they were all divided into a small unit of 6700 people. In the past 20 years, these small tribes began to exchange and trade with each other. It is impossible for them to receive aid without return. Just like a big tribe, it has been divided into numerous small tribes. When confronted with a immovable opponent or the Yunqin army, all these small units will share the same hatred.

So the Xiyi people in the ghost fur department have forgotten the delicious taste of raw fish blood mixed with tender corn for them, and what it is like to take a bath.

Compared with the previous life in biluoling, such a life is an eternal nightmare and hell. It can't be miserable any more.

Azko is the leader of a small part of Guiqiu.

Compared with other small parts, Azko's previous situation is actually better.

He has a secret In his cave, there is a big reservoir full of clear water all the time. His small number of soldiers go out to plunder the caravan, and hardly encounter the encirclement and suppression of the Yunqin army.

Because he secretly had a deal with the subordinates of general Wen Ren's army.

At the expense of the movements of some other Xiyi people, and helping the general of the National People's Congress to do something inconvenient for the military to do in exchange for the right to live better than others.

But before summer, his life was over.

A group of Yunqin rebels entered the huge labyrinth composed of ghost city and Guiming mountain. For them, this well-equipped regular elite army of Yunqin became the most ferocious and powerful roving bandit in the huge labyrinth.

The Yunqin rebel army did not know where to hide in the ghost city and Guiming mountain. It not only dealt with the ghost fur department, but also plundered other departments from time to time.

Most of the tribes in Guiqiu department who want to deal with the Yunqin rebellion have been killed and scattered, and many have been completely subdued.

And don't know why, this cloud Qin rebel seems to have found out that he is the inner person of cangyue, and directly killed him.

At the moment, Azko is riding a tall single humped camel to escape in the labyrinth of weathered houses.

Only seven of the wounded men, some of them wounded, followed him on a single humped camel. They had little water and food left.

But Azko is not desperate.

Because he is a powerful cultivator who is almost invincible in the whole ghost and fur department, and he knows that before long, the Sirian guards who smell the man cangyue will smell like a bloody fly, find him running away, and chase and kill his Yunqin rebels.

A few miles away from the rear, there is a light yellow dust moving rapidly, that is, a pursuer who has been affixing behind them for more than an hour.

In azyko's calculation, only half an hour later, the pursuers, who mainly depended on horses, would be forced to stop, or the horses would die of heat exhaustion.

The only thing he had to worry about was whether he would encounter an ambush to block him.

So he has been carefully looking at all the dilapidated palaces and houses in front of him that have been eroded by the sandstorm and have no aesthetic feeling but have a gloomy feeling.

Suddenly, his scalp, which was covered with tortoise shell tattoos, suddenly bulged with small grains due to tension. His hands and ten knuckles could not help but make a sound of explosion.

In the yellow sand heaven and earth, on a piece of wall, sat a young girl with a very delicate green shirt. She looked at him motionless, just like a ghost walking out of this decadent and weathered house after thousands of years.

His back brain was filled with a piercing chill.

It's not because of tension and fear, but because of the real chill.

A flying sword hidden in the yellow sand flew out of his body, and instantly penetrated the camel under his body and reached his back brain.

"When!"

Azke's white snow machete was accurately cut on this flying sword.

The flying sword bounced back and flew out. However, Azko was shocked by the huge anti earthquake force and flew straight forward and rushed out. When the non handle flying sword whirled in the air, the bodies of the seven subordinates behind Azko were all frozen.

All the seven men held the posture of cutting and intercepting the flying sword with their blades, but the speed of the flying sword made no one of them could touch it, cutting the throat of seven of them in an instant.

Their throats were all cut open, but their blood was frozen by the extremely cold power of the sword. At that time, their bodies lost their ability to move faster than a lot of blood loss, and died faster, but at that time, there was not a drop of fresh blood coming out. There was only a slowly expanding red line between their throats.

"How could it be!"

"How could you be a saint at your age!"

Azke looked at the young girl who was still sitting on the broken wall in the distance and was like a maid in green. He kept shouting in turtle and fur words and Yunqin words.

However, the girl in the green shirt didn't even lift her eyelids.

The sword flies back.

Azko just blocked two knives, and his perception and reaction could not keep up with the speed of the flying sword. Then he felt his throat cold, and then endless darkness and cold filled his whole body instantly.

The hiltless flying sword shakes all the blood in the air and flies back to the sleeve of the girl in the green shirt.

A moment later, more than 100 Yunqin cavalry, who had changed their light yellow clothes, rushed to the corpse of azyko and others, searched all the luggage of azyko and others, and immediately began to return along another road.

"Big brother, when can we go back?" At the front of the cavalry, a young sergeant with a bow licked his dry lips and asked the young general who led the team.

"I don't know. General Nanshan said there might be a chance Or we can never go back. " The young general did not lower his voice. He was very direct, so that all the cavalry behind him could hear his voice.

The young sergeant with the bow lowered his head.

In so many days, his will and emotions with many soldiers are close to the limit, otherwise he would never have asked that. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that he will always bear the name of the traitor.

"We may be rebels forever."

The former young general didn't look back at anyone, but said coldly: "but since we betrayed After crossing the Prajna corridor, how many heads of brigands and bandits have we beheaded? "

"The heads of the brigands we have killed for decades may be more than the heads of the brigands we could kill in our previous lives."

"I
