"Bah!" A dirty man emerged from the hole, shook his head vigorously to shake the sand off his head, and spat out a few mouthfuls of muddy spit.
When I got outside, I coughed a few times, opened my mouth to breathe in the fresh air, and then turned my head to look around.
"Boom!" A steel knife fell from the sky and landed in front of him.
"This is the Qinglong Sword, don't lose it again!" A voice echoed around.
"Fairy! Is Jun'er still alive? Is he in Bashui County?" Huang Shao grabbed the Qinglong Sword, raised his head and shouted.
The other party was obviously the one who suddenly appeared on the wedding night, woke him up and gave him the Blue Dragon Spear.
"Go to Bashui County quickly! This trip will be difficult, so be careful!"
"God! Can you let me see your true face so that I can worship you in the future?"
However, there was no response, and it seemed that the other party had left.
Huang Shao shouted a few more times, but received no response, so he left the cave with the Qinglong Dao and walked towards Bashui County on foot.
His horse has long since disappeared, probably taken away by the old man.
If it weren't for the help of gods, I don't know how long I would have been trapped in the underground maze.
Fortunately, it should not be far from Bashui County, and we should be able to reach it before dark using both feet.
Take out the food and water from the cave and eat while walking.
"River?" After walking for more than half an hour, I heard the sound of water in front of me and ran over. I saw a big river flowing along the edge not far away.
Huang Shao, who was covered in mud, looked surprised. He ran over and jumped directly into the river. He plunged in and washed himself and his clothes together.
After washing off the dirt on my body, I felt much refreshed. I took off my clothes when I got ashore, wrung them out, put them on again, and continued moving forward under the bright sun, dripping wet.
Around afternoon, the clothes on my body were almost dry, although the parts close to my body were still wet and not very comfortable.
Ahead of the road we finally saw a city, just on the horizon.
Bashui County!
Huang Shao was already quite exhausted, but when he saw the city, he got strength from nowhere and ran forward as hard as he could.
Finally, when we arrived at the city wall, we saw that the city gate was tightly closed, and a group of Qiguo soldiers came around vigilantly: "Who are they?! Stop! You are not allowed to go any further!"
"Master Jun, I am a citizen of our Qi Kingdom!" Huang Shao quickly raised his hands to show that he was not a threat.
"Knife, for self-defense!" Huang Shao replied. The Green Dragon Sword was wrapped in cloth and carried on his back. After losing the Green Dragon Spear, he did not dare to lose the weapon given by the gods again.
Qi soldiers surrounded him and asked him his name and address, and Huang Shao told the truth.
After confirming that he was a citizen of Qi State, the soldiers of Qi State loudly said: "Bashui County is in a special situation now and does not allow people to enter and leave the city at will. Leave here quickly so that you can enter the city after the war!"
"Please help some military masters!" Huang Shao said hurriedly, "I'm here to find someone, it's my brother. He was forcibly recruited into the army, and I heard that he came to Bashui County with the army. Please do me a favor, thank you very much!
"
"At this critical moment, the general has ordered that people are prohibited from entering and exiting the city at will to avoid sneaky sneakers." Qi Guo soldiers said, "Please return the way you came and come back after the war!"
"Master, please do well!" Huang Shao said anxiously, "I'm not a spy, really! Otherwise, can you help me find out if my brother is in Bashui County and is he still alive?
His name is Diao Jun, he is also from Qimu Town, and he grew up with me!"
"Diao Jun?" The Qi soldiers guarding the city were a little surprised when they heard this name. They gathered together and whispered, "It seems that one of the generals the general awarded today has this name?"
"Is it Vice General Diao? The one who is always with Vice General Cen and is inseparable."
"Isn't it the deputy general Diao who killed the prefect of Bashui among the thousands of soldiers who had the magic weapon of the immortal in his hand?"
"If this man is Vice General Diao's brother, he must go back to the city and report!"
"But Vice General Diao's surname is Diao, and this man's surname is Huang!"
"Hey!" A Qiguo soldier pointed a gun at Huang Shao, "You said your surname is Huang, but you want to find a brother named Diao. What's going on?"
Huang Shao listened to everything the other party said.
He was a little surprised, why did Jun'er become a deputy general?
And what happened to the immortal magic weapon?
When the other party asked, he quickly stepped forward and answered: "Diao Jun and I have known each other since childhood and have depended on each other for life. Although they are not real brothers, they are better than real brothers! I dare to ask, how many Diao Jun are there in the army? The Deputy General Diao you are talking about,
Is he Diao Jun from Qimu Town?"
Several Qiguo soldiers guarding the city whispered again, and then the leader said: "We don't know if Vice General Diao is the brother you are looking for. However, Vice General Diao and Vice General Cen were ordered by the general to lead troops out of the city and have already headed towards Miao County.
Reconnaissance, we are not in the city at the moment!"
"Direction to Miao County? How to get there?" Huang Shao asked hurriedly.
"It takes more than ten days to walk from here to Miao County." The Qiguo soldier said, "It also takes three days to ride a horse. By the time you get there, I am afraid that Vice General Diao and Vice General Cen will have completed their reconnaissance mission and turned back. Furthermore, Gao Guo may come back at any time.
We sent troops to attack Bashui County, but all the surrounding roads have been blocked, making it inconvenient to travel."
"Then what should I do?" Huang Shao was anxious, "How about... why don't you lend me a war horse?"
"There are troops stationed on the way, and it is difficult to travel with horses unless you have military orders in hand!"
"This..." Huang Shao was very anxious. He had to confirm whether the "Vice General Diao" mentioned by the other party was Jun'er. After thinking about it carefully, he said loudly, "Can I join the army? If so, is it right?
Can I get the general order to go find my brother?"
The soldiers of Qi State thought that even if they joined the army, they were just ordinary soldiers. How could they go wherever they wanted? Why did the higher-ups give you general orders?
But if he is really the brother of Vice General Diao, and Vice General Diao has made great contributions in the previous war, maybe the superiors will give him face? Thinking of this, he said to him: "We need to ask for instructions from the superiors, you wait here!"
"Excuse me, Sir!" Huang Shao saw a glimmer of hope and stood obediently outside the city gate, watching the gatekeepers return to the city.
About a quarter of an hour later, the soldier responsible for delivering the message came out of the city and walked up to Huang Shao: "You are in luck! The general has an order to send you to see him! Before you go, we have to teach you the etiquette when meeting the general to avoid offending him.
General!"
"Thank you!" Huang Shao felt quite uneasy. He came to see his brother Diao Jun, but the soldier said that the general wanted to see him.
Who can the general be? This army was led by General Zhechong Yu Cheng, who is he not?
General Zhechong, for a small person like Huang Shao, is a high-level mission, one in the clouds and one on the ground.
Captain Qin Yuan of Qimu Town is already a very important figure, but he is nothing compared to General Zhe Chong.
That being is a person whose words are very important in front of the emperor. Why does he want to see me?
Could it be that Vice General Diao is really his brother Jun'er?
General Zhe Chong wanted to see him because of Jun'er?
