"Originally it was only 30%, but now it has increased to at least 50%." Sun Guoshi glanced in the direction of Panlong Desert, "If the strange phenomena in the desert are not beyond the information I have."
He Chunhua came back, his expression slowly becoming firm: "Okay, I'll go!"
The eyes of the soldiers in the audience suddenly became more respectful.
The He brothers were shocked: "Father, why is this happening!"
They wanted to rush forward, but He Chunhua shouted "duh" and retreated.
The county guard was slightly angry: "What a decent way to tug and pull, no matter how many people are watching here!" After saying that, he turned to Zeng Feixiong and ordered, "Let's go!"
A team of nearly three hundred people marched north along the official road.
At this time, He Chunhua sighed and said to his sons: "I have wasted twenty years at the border, but you are young and must not be buried again. This trip is successful, and your starting point will be in Dadu!"
Twenty years of personal experience told him that in a remote and remote area, even if you have worldly talents, you can't put them to use. Taking a risk can bring the He family back to the capital. This deal is actually very cost-effective.
"The country is in turmoil, but here is a paradise." He Lingchuan couldn't help it, "Dad, there's nothing wrong with Blackwater City. A futile treasure hunt is not worth the risk of your life!"
Really, it's quite nice here, he likes it very much, even though the wind and sand are a bit stronger, although the food is a bit rough, even though he's tired of eating too much beef and mutton... Hey, but don't let it get into trouble, okay?
If the Sheriff dies, who will take over? Who can keep things under control? The family's good life will come to an end.
"It's natural to die for the country. You will understand when you grow up." In fact, the Imperial Master is here, and Wang Ling is here, so there is no way to refuse. This child is still ignorant at the age of sixteen! Photographed by He Chunhua
Patting the eldest son on the shoulder, he turned to He Yue and said, "During my absence, Yue'er will assist in the county affairs. You have always been prudent and resourceful. If I fail to return, you must take good care of the He family and mother."
He Lingchuan couldn't help but turn to Sun Fuping: "Can't wait any longer? Let's find someone else to lead the team!"
"It can wait, but every official recruited must go through this test." Sun Fuping pointed to the large water tank, "The army always goes out in one go, but then fails again and again. At that time, we simply could not compete with the Panlong Desert."
Morale is at its strongest right now. If we try it two more times, the soldiers will be exhausted.
What's more, the team has already set out, how can there be an arrow to turn back when the bow is fired?
He Yue's eyes were red, he grabbed his father's hand and walked to the side, lowering his voice: "Dad, this is a trap they set!"
"How could I not know?" He Chunhua shook his head slightly, looked at He Lingchuan who was following him, and hesitated before saying, "Chuan'er, come with me."
These words were like thunderbolts, making He Lingchuan's head buzz:
"What? Dad, I..." I don't want to go!
Why should he go on this adventure of a near-death experience?
Didn't He Chunhua dote on his eldest son? Why did he ask him to die together?
"Ever since you were born, the great shaman has said that you are a blessed general who can survive any crisis." He Chunhua seemed to find it difficult to say it, but he still said, "For more than ten years, the He family has been prosperous, which proves that this statement is true.
This trip to Panlong is unpredictable, and I, I need your good luck! Besides, you are good at martial arts and have your own family to protect you, so I can rest assured."
He grabbed He Lingchuan's arm, glanced at Sun Fuping subconsciously, and whispered: "I always feel that this is a great opportunity for the He family. Chuan'er, I count on you for my father's safety!"
He Lingchuan felt that the bitterness in his mouth was about to bubble up. He wanted to say not to go, but could he say not to go?
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dayuan has tried its best to instill in its ministers and people the ethics of father and son, just like other regimes. He Chunhua was worried about his own safety and asked his eldest son to accompany him all the way. Isn't it normal?
Xunzhou Mu went too far and sent his son directly to take risks. In comparison, where was He Chunhua?
Besides, in front of everyone, could He Lingchuan really open his mouth and say "I don't"?
can.
"Dad, I don't..."
He Lingchuan was about to show off his unreasonable skills, but unfortunately He Chunhua knew his son so well that he didn't give him a chance to consider, struggle, or refuse. He spoke to Sun Fuping first: "National Master, Chuan'er, come with me!"
"
The voice was extremely loud, and the former soldiers looked at him sideways.
Okay, the tone is set.
He also suppressed He Lingchuan's final rejection.
He Chunhua patted his eldest son on the shoulder and said with emotion: "What a good boy!"
He Yue watched dumbfounded. Although father and son soldiers are common these days, doesn't his father always prefer the eldest brother? Why does he have to take him with him when taking big risks?
The eldest brother obviously had rejection written all over his face.
Nian Songyu also heard it and waved to He Lingchuan: "Great, let's get closer on the road."
What else could He Lingchuan say? Looking at Nian Songyu's cheerful smile, his mouth was dry and astringent: "Okay, I'll prepare some supplies."
This time it was a farewell for the expedition team, which turned into a farewell for my father, and finally turned into a farewell for myself.
All I can say is that surprises are everywhere in life.
The second brother's eyes were red and he said that the person he was careful about on the road turned out to be himself.
He Yue grabbed his arm and suddenly lowered his voice: "Be careful of those two people."
"You still need to tell me?" He Lingchuan rolled his eyes, "Uncle Hao, I leave my second son's safety to you."
Uncle Hao nodded.
He had a grudge against Nian Songyu, and He Chunhua resolutely refused to let him get involved in this retrograde journey to the Panlong Desert to avoid any trouble.
He Lingchuan was extremely envious of his staying out of the situation, but at this moment he could only show a dry smile and wave goodbye.
Looking at He Chunhua again, an idea suddenly came to his mind:
Is it possible that this father's feelings for his eldest son are not as deep as He Lingchuan originally thought?
…
The Panlong Desert has not yet entered the wild sand season, and there are many people on the Hongya Road.
There are only more than ten days left before the deadline, and everyone is in a hurry.
He Lingchuan had already changed his mount and hung up his supplies before setting off. He was now wearing a white robe, except for his face.
The sun was rising, and it was frighteningly hot in the desert. After walking for a quarter of an hour without any obstruction, He Lingchuan's whole body was boiling hot. He suspected that watering his body would produce steam.
In fact, we haven't entered the real desert yet. We can often see dwarf sea buckthorn, sand holly and splendens, as well as Haloxylon ammodendron trees and purple-stemmed willows scattered around.
As the only way in and out of Blackwater City, there was everything on both sides of the road, including old boxes, clothing and bottles, and half-rotted jackal corpses. He Lingchuan even saw a handful of black hair hanging in the wind on the splendens, and looked at it.
