Early the next morning, the Dugu brothers and sisters boarded the city wall early to urge the soldiers to prepare to fight against today's insect army...
But the strange thing is that until the afternoon, not a single insect approaches Star City, no matter which direction it is...
The Dugu brothers and sisters remembered what Zhang Lang said before leaving last night: "Star City should be safe for the time being!"
"Brother, tell me...did he really succeed?" Dugulan asked: "Which guy single-handedly assassinated the Insect King?"
"I don't know..." Dugu Chen shook his head: "I have never heard of such a number one figure in the martial arts world before, but if he is really as powerful as the veterans of Sunset Fortress said, he is so powerful that he can kill Zijin with his bare hands.
As for fighting insects, it is not impossible to sneak into the insect nest secretly and assassinate the insect king...yesterday's head is the evidence!"
"I still think it's too much!" Dugulan pursed her lips and said: "If you can fight the mantis monster with bare hands, you can be regarded as a first-class master. The gap between the mantis monster and the purple gold war bug is almost like a wild dog.
Just like a tiger!"
Duguchen sighed: "Maybe, maybe those ordinary soldiers did exaggerate his abilities... But one thing is for sure, he is definitely better than the two of us!"
"Huh?" After hearing this, Dugulan was a little unconvinced: "Why?"
"Even those people from the eighth team have seen us take action, but they are still amazed by his abilities!" Du Gulan said with a smile: "Besides, you always know how powerful Feng Xi is, right?"
As soon as this name was mentioned, Dugulan frowned: "Why are you mentioning her again?"
"Because without her, my sister wouldn't be as capable as she is now!"
Dugu Chen smiled and touched the ponytail on the back of his sister's head, causing Dugu Lan to move away stubbornly.
After all, this girl is not from the military. Although she has excellent martial arts skills, she does not often wear armor. When she got the helmet for the first time, she was worried because her thick long hair would affect the wearing of it. In the end, she could only think of a way to put it on the back of the silver helmet.
A hole was drilled into his head, and his hair was tied into a long ponytail and stuck out. Although it was neatly draped, there was still a jet black ponytail hanging high on the back of his head, hanging down to the back of his buttocks.
"I'm not practicing hard because I lost to her before!!" Dugulan said stubbornly.
"I didn't say it was because of this!" Dugu Chen teased with a smile, causing Dugu Lan to yell:
"Besides, I am good at bows and arrows, but not good at hand-to-hand combat... In terms of height and strength, I am stronger than Feng Xi, but my skills and experience are shorter. She took advantage of her and won by luck. If we fight again now, it will definitely be me.
win!"
"It's a pity, there's no chance!" Dugu Chen shook his head,
"Feng Xi died in the Sunset Fortress... As a talented female general, she was also a first-class strongman among the countless masters in the Sunset Fortress... But it is said that even Feng Xi bowed to this hunter. There are even rumors,
She secretly made a secret love for this man, and finally died in the insect nest, just to get back her sweetheart who committed the murder alone."
"Ah?!" After listening to Dugu Chen's words, Dugu Lan looked in disbelief: "You said that Feng Xi? Also likes men?"
"It's weird to like women..." Dugu Chen didn't follow his sister's thinking, and then his face became stern: "You shouldn't... treat Feng Xi..."
"Oh, it's not what you think!"
Dugulan shook her head, and her long ponytail flew up:
"I just think it's so strange that this Feng Xi actually thinks about love and love... Isn't that woman thinking about the great cause of her family and country and the art of war?"
"But she is a girl after all!" Duguchen shook his head: "She is still a graceful heroine!"
Looking at Dugu Chen's nostalgic eyes, Dugu Lan frowned: "Brother, you can't do it, you are the one who treats that Feng Xi..."
"What?" Dugu Chen looked at his sister with a smile: "Don't you always say that you want me to marry you a sister-in-law as soon as possible?"
Dugulan immediately grimaced: "But I didn't say I wanted to do that!"
While the brother and sister were bickering, the sun gradually set in the west. The soldiers guarding the city were in full formation, but in the end they did not wait for today's attack.
After getting off the city wall, the two of them went to report to Master Lin as usual. On the way, they saw those yellow-robed Taoists opening altars and practicing rituals. There seemed to be more believers...
After returning to the government office, I talked about today's situation with Mr. Lin and others. Everyone thought of what Zhang Lang said before leaving yesterday. Is it possible that he really eradicated all the insect nests nearby?
"Master Lin, I have an idea!" Dugu Chen suddenly said: "There is not enough food in the city now, and food shortage is imminent. If there are really no insect activities around, I think now is the time to go out and search for food!"
"Leave the city?!" After hearing this suggestion, Mr. Lin and many of his staff showed surprised expressions!
This is something that no one has dared to bring up since the swarm of insects started raging!
Of course, excluding Zhang Lang last night, he is not a normal person.
"Even if there is no insect attack today, it doesn't prove that the insect nest has been destroyed!" Mr. Lin dissuaded: "Maybe it's just that the insects were tired today, or for some other reason, they just didn't come... In short, don't take it too seriously when leaving the city.
Sloppy!"
"But sir, there is no time!" Duguchen insisted: "Yesterday, when you said that the only food left could only last for five days at most, I had this idea. Now that there are fewer signs of insect activity, it is even more difficult for us to leave the city.
It’s a great time to look for food! If we wait any longer, not only will the food be used up, but if new bugs come nearby, it may be difficult to get out again!”
"But even if you go there, you may not be able to find food!"
"I don't think it's difficult!" Dugu Chen analyzed: "Insects eat meat and have no interest in food and grass... The livestock of residents in nearby villages and towns have been taken away, but most of the food will be left. We won't go far, as long as we have enough livestock and horses.
, take 1,800 people with you and search the surrounding villages and towns. You should be able to bring back a lot of food. You can also explore the situation outside. If you find the granary, you can also take the opportunity to carry it back and forth many times, and the city will be slowed down.
coming!"
"That does make sense!" said one aide.
"I think it's feasible too!" Another person reconsidered.
"Of course you think it's feasible!" Master Lin scolded: "It's not you who go out to look for food!"
As he spoke, he held Dugu Chen's hands: "Young Master Dugu, this matter is indeed dangerous, and it also takes time to prepare the manpower and horses. Besides, you have to work very hard during the day to be vigilant. If you go out to the city to look for food at night, your physical strength will not be able to keep up.
...Why don’t you recharge your batteries tomorrow, observe and see what happens?”
The brother and sister thought it made sense and nodded in agreement...
