"According to Feng He's information, we should arrive at Yanmen Pass in about 20 days."
Donna is also a veteran of the Great Zhou Dynasty, commanding the elite troops of the Beida Battalion to protect the imperial city of the capital.
Donna knew the world's terrain and marching speed well.
Based on Feng He's message, she was able to estimate the ghost soldiers' itinerary.
Yu Wenkai glanced at Yang Hu, who immediately took out a map and laid it on the table. Donna followed the directions given by Feng He and immediately pointed out a location.
"When Feng He sent the information, Li Chengdao was here and Wu Sheng was here."
"In three days, Li Chengdao's position should be here, and Wu Sheng should be here."
Donna pointed out the location clearly.
Yu Wenkai looked slightly happy and said, "Okay, I understand, go and do your work."
Donna bowed and exited the yard.
"Xiao Gan, Xiao Mo, get ready, we will set off in five days."
Yu Wenkai looked at Gan Xin and Mo Lin, and they immediately put down their pipes and wine bowls.
"Understood, let's get ready."
Gan Xin and Mo Lin stood up and left at the same time.
"Have you finished the beast's ration?"
Yu Wenkai asked Tan Wenyue, and Tan Wenyue said: "It's almost finished. It's more than five hundred kilograms of ice jade. It's all eaten. That beast looks a lot more energetic."
Ice jade was sent into the ice cellar one after another, and the holy beast ate all the ice jade as snacks.
"Also, that beast not only eats ice jade, but also likes to eat horse meat. It has eaten more than two hundred horses."
Tan Wenyue's tone was very dissatisfied, like a holy beast eating and drinking for free.
"Let it eat as it pleases. It will need its cooperation in subsequent actions. As long as it doesn't eat people, the war horse will feed it as much as it wants."
Yu Wenkai is very generous, so eating some war horses is not a problem.
"We have to send some horses down today."
Tan Wenyue shook his head, and Yu Wenkai said with a smile: "Old Tan, you just can't get rid of your picking and picking problems."
Tan Wenyue said unhappily: "General, it's not my war horse. Why do I feel bad? I just think that beast has eaten too much."
Yang Hu smiled and said: "Old Tan, just give it to me. There are hundreds of thousands of horses in the city, so eating some is nothing."
Tan Wenyue drank the rest of the wine, went out, found five horses, and led them to the ice cellar.
When I walked to the entrance of the ice cellar, I met an old guard carrying two baskets. He was about to go down when he saw Tan Wenyue and hurriedly bowed to see him.
"I have met General Tan."
When he arrived here, Tan Wenyue felt even more unhappy. He glanced at the ice cellar and said, "Send it to him."
After saying that, Tan Wenyue turned and left.
"As commanded."
The old guard put down the basket and sent the five horses into the ice cellar first.
Entering under the ice cellar, the holy beast is meditating and practicing.
After eating the ice jade, the holy beast's body recovered a lot, and the floor and walls of the ice cellar were covered with a thick layer of ice.
The old guard wiped the snot from the tip of his nose. The ice cellar was not cold some time ago, but now it is as cold as the outside.
"The war horses have been delivered."
The old guard shouted from a distance of more than ten meters. The holy beast opened its eyes and slowly stood up.
"Isn't Tan Wenyue here?"
In the past, war horses were sent by Tan Wenyue, but they didn't come today. The holy beast felt a little strange.
"General Tan is here. He walked to the door and went back. He may be busy with something."
The old guard laughed and let go of the horse's reins. The horse retreated in fear, they could sense the danger.
"You can pick out the things first."
The holy beast didn't move his mouth immediately.
The old guard nodded, walked out of the cave with a smile, and picked down the two baskets.
Walking to the corner, the old guard picked up a few pieces of frozen ice and put them into a basket, then carried them out.
"Old Zhou."
As the old guard walked out, the holy beast suddenly stopped.
After putting down the basket, the old guard turned around and asked with a smile: "Any other orders?"
The holy beast said: "Don't throw this thing away. It can be used as medicine. If someone has malignant sores and gets angry, just take some."
The old guard was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he finally understood and said with a smile: "Yes, you are a spiritual beast. This is a good thing. Thank you."
The old guard laughed and carried the lumps of ice out.
A lot of animal feces can be used as medicine. Rabbits are called Wangyue sand, and bats are called Yeming sand.
This sacred beast can also be used as medicine and has the effect of detoxifying and removing fire.
The old guard left, and the holy beast grabbed a horse and bit it on the neck.
...
Yanmen Pass.
Wu Xiangyun held the table with both hands and tried to maintain his body balance...
There is a pot of boiling water on the stove, and the lid is lifted and lowered by the steam, back and forth, up and down...
"Husband...the water is about to boil dry."
Wu Xiangyun urged, Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, add more after the water is boiled."
outside the door.
Yu Fuguo hurried to the door, raised his hand and knocked hard on the door several times.
There was no answer in the room, and Yu Fuguo guessed what was going on.
Yu Fuguo walked back and forth in circles at the door. The matter was urgent and he couldn't rush it.
After a while, the door opened and Long Chen walked out. He was wearing a mink fur outside but not wearing anything underneath. Yu Fuguo guessed correctly.
"Sir, the Jianghu people from Ma Town have arrived, and they want ordnance."
Long Chen said: "Just give it to them, I've already said it."
Two days ago, Long Chen had given instructions to open the armory and give them whatever they wanted, as much as they wanted.
Yu Fuguo said in embarrassment: "But there are too many of them, almost ten thousand people. If they are given enough, the number of ordnance will be too much."
Long Chen was a little surprised: "Oh? Everyone came over. I thought only some people came over."
Nearly ten thousand people gathered in Ma Town. Long Chen estimated that at most half of them would come, but he didn't expect that all of them would come.
"That's fine. There is strength in numbers, so I'll go meet them."
When Long Chen returned to his room, Yu Fuguo was waiting outside.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Xiangyun was lying on the bed, covering the quilt with his two jade hands, his hair disheveled and his eyes blurred.
"It's nothing. The Jianghu people from Ma Town have arrived. They want a lot of weapons. Yu Fuguo doesn't dare to make the decision. I'll go take a look."
Long Chen sat beside the bed and squeezed through the quilt...
"No, I won't dare to come to you alone next time."
Wu Xiangyun huddled up, she didn't dare to play anymore, she almost died just now.
"Come with your sister, the two sisters will not be too tired."
Long Chen laughed and joked.
Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun are biological sisters. For this reason, they are separated every time and are embarrassed to be together.
"No, I'm not ashamed."
Wu Xiangyun huddled under the quilt and couldn't get out.
Long Chen changed his clothes and went out. Yu Fuguo led the way to the armory in the south.
When he walked nearby, Long Chen saw a large crowd of people, and the leading few were shouting.
"The rivers and lakes and the imperial court do not interfere with each other. Logically speaking, we do not need to participate in the war. We work hard for Zhou and King Wu. You also promised to give us arms, but now you don't give them. King Wu has not kept his word."
"We work hard for King Wu, why don't you give us weapons?"
"We want firearms, but you only give us swords, because you want us to die!"
The leaders were arguing fiercely, and the armory men pointed their spears at them and shouted: "We have not received the order, and any trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
The two sides are at war with each other, and people in the world are ready to make a move.
"My order is to only provide cold weapons, not firearms, so why do you need firearms?"
Long Chen turned to ask Yu Fuguo. Yu Fuguo shook his head and said: "The promotion of rice and the hatred of rice. There are many scoundrels in the world who are greedy. They want firearms after being given cold weapons."
