Although a little exhausted, the guards still did their duty and the required security procedures were still in place.
A boat unique to the Wu Kingdom slowly docked. The wooden trestle was soaked in water and dried by the sun. The surface was covered with mud and rotten sawdust.
The reed marshes on both sides were also lying down, and the reeds were a little unable to withstand the floods and exposure to the sun.
From time to time, there was a stench wafting out from the area, like corpse odor. The young master couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. He really didn't want to stay here any longer.
But there are still so many large troops, and leaving at this moment will further worsen his position.
The Wu-Jin alliance was supposed to be a great event, setting the whole world on fire. But after more than ten days of floods, the nobles of the two superpowers began to doubt their lives.
Did this damn thing offend God?
Is the cause we do justifiable?
What's even worse is the generals and officials of the Huaishang countries who stayed to flatter the two superpowers. Their soldiers were originally the elites of their respective countries, but now... one-third of them are dead.
Those who drowned, those who died of heat, those who died of thirst, those who died of starvation...
In this catastrophe, all the jackals, tigers and leopards went crazy. The soldiers of the Huaishang kingdoms were completely unfamiliar with this crazy situation of nature. It was okay for the two superpowers Wu and Jin. After all, when they started their respective countries, they were quite equal.
The difficult and thorny years left them with valuable experience.
On the contrary, none of these small countries have any experience in resisting Tianwei.
Similar to Chiang's troops, there were even a dozen Chiang's soldiers. When they went out to salvage cabbage from the water, they were killed one by one by a tiger lying in wait in the water!
Ji Fei, the doctor of Jiang State, just shut himself up. He was staring at the dragon in the water. Why are there tigers in the water?
Is this common sense?
However, the soldiers of Wu State knew very well that not all cats are afraid of water. Tigers are better at water than people imagine.
Even in the Wuhu area, there were tigers lying down in ditches to cool off, their big heads hidden among lotus leaves and water shields, motionless and undetectable.
There is also General Wei Ya of the Xian Kingdom. He became autistic following the Chiang State official Ji Fei. This was because some soldiers stored fresh water in a large tank. When he was getting water from the tank the next day, someone slipped in without knowing it.
The adder bitten me.
In just one meal, the soldier was cold.
As for being stung by a wasp or being chased by a bamboo bee, it seemed trivial. Even when giant dragons were infested, the soldiers from the Huaishang kingdoms could calmly watch the crocodiles rise and fall and then leave.
After all kinds of bad experiences, the countries in Huaishang were really convinced. Wu could rise...it should.
If this is the case in Jiangbei, let alone Jiangnan?
At this point, no one is ridiculing Wu for his broken hair tattoo. What is a broken hair tattoo? In such a harsh environment, if you don’t have a broken hand tattooed with Peppa Pig, you will have a strong spirit and a strong psychological quality.
Even the people of Jin admire the people of Wu very much. With such an ally to contain Chu, don't worry, it's so damn reassuring.
Fighting against the sky and the earth, working with tigers and leopards, it's wild and interesting.
The smell is quite strong, because I haven't showered for a long time, and it's almost going rancid.
Even if you are a young man, your most important job every day is to kill the lice on your body.
As for fleas, let them be.
What makes Young Master Xiaoque even more devastated is that the cockroaches here are extremely big and can fly, even flying towards his face.
"Nanman..."
In the Jin army's camp, Young Master Xiaoque, who had an itchy head and wanted to cut off his hair, could not control his anger, and finally understood why his ancestors scolded the southerners.
However, he admired his ancestor's brothers very much for daring to live in such a ghost place.
No, this is not life, this is survival.
The brothers of the ancestors are so awesome, so awesome!
"Sir, it seems that Wu Zhou is coming from the Huai River."
"oh?"
Young Master Xiaoque felt as if he was shriveled up. The weather was bad and the environment was bad. He really wanted to go home now. In this ghost place like Xucheng, a plague might break out tomorrow.
Although the soldiers from all the countries in Huaishang didn't know why they were collecting lime, they didn't know why they gathered the corpses for burning, and they didn't know why they drained the stagnant water... But they said that this could avoid the plague, so they left it alone.
Just believe it.
The reason why I believe it tentatively is because the soldiers from the Huaishang kingdoms said that they learned this from their generals.
Who is their general?
Li Jie.
Haha, a savage, a southern barbarian savage.
"Young master." Seeing the young master's lack of interest, the staff had no choice but to persuade him, "If there is a ship coming from Huaihe River, it must be Jiangyinzi. Or Jiangyinzi has succeeded in defeating Cai and has come to report his victory."
"How can we succeed if we are alone?"
The young master with a tired look on his face scratched his scalp frantically, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
He scratched so hard that it almost seemed like he was tearing his scalp off, shaking off the lice one after another. The staff felt uncomfortable all over after seeing it, and couldn't help scratching themselves.
This damn place... is completely incomparable to the Jin Kingdom.
Not to mention that all the countries in Huaishang doubted life, the same was true for Jin soldiers. Even the conflict between Jin soldiers and Wu Jia was because of this mania... further mania.
Coupled with the occurrence of the cannibalism incident, the legitimacy and justice of the alliance between the two countries has obviously been cast a shadow.
Not to mention the lower-level soldiers, not even Young Master Xiaoque himself thought that the alliance with Wu would have any good results.
There is a high probability that the Jin State will leave this ghost place early. It's too scary. Before anyone cleans up the water conservancy, who wants to give this kind of land to others?
"Sir, Jiang Yinzi is not an ordinary reckless man."
"Who doesn't know? Li Jie is certainly not an ordinary reckless man, he is a rare reckless man in the world!"
Young Master Xiaoque, who had always been gentle and gentle, is now a typical irritable old man from Jin State, "Let's go, let's go and accompany Young Master. That's what you mean, isn't it? Go now, go now!"
After that, he was about to go out, but he resentfully took the crown and put it on again.
But after I put it on, I felt like 10,000 lice were moving in and out. It was going crazy, really going crazy.
The troops of the Jin State dispatched to the place where the prince had already greeted Huai Shangzhou Chuan.
On the bank of the Huai River, on top of Wu Zhou, several commoners came out. One of them came out and clasped his fists and shouted: "Sir, the general ordered me to come and report the victory!"
"oh?"
The young master finally grinned. After so many days, there was finally good news.
It seems that the hot weather is not so hot anymore.
"This is the general's secret message."
After saying that, he knelt down on one knee and presented the silk cloth with both hands. Young Master Si's guard took the silk cloth, shook it slightly, without reading the content on the silk cloth, and then forwarded it to Young Master Si.
The young master had already gotten the silk cloth, looked at the writing on it, and was stunned for a moment: "Li Zi's handwriting is quite orderly."
Others think it's nothing, but Jiang Yinzi, wouldn't it be nice to write something neatly?
But the generals and doctors from all the countries in Huaishang who accompanied them were a little strange. When did our generals still have this skill?
Doesn't exist.
The people who came up and down from Wu Zhou all bowed in front of them, very respectfully, waiting for the young master to read the good news.
"Li Zi is on the verge of defeating Cai Cai, good! Good! Good!"
The young master had already said three good words in succession, and was about to continue to praise him, when someone shouted: "Young master, be careful where you step, there are poisonous insects!"
An adder that was hiding in the mud and rotten grass of the trestle suddenly emerged from nowhere. The snake's body was coiled, its triangular head was hissing, and there was no emotion that humans should have in the snake's eyes.
Hiss, hiss...
"Master, please give way."
The guard immediately drew his sword and killed the poisonous snake with one strike.
The drab venomous snake was chopped into two pieces in an instant.
Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced. If the young master had been bitten by this poisonous snake, it would be a serious matter.
Amidst the celebrations, several figures rushed out. The guards still had "scarred" expressions on their faces, their eyes widened, but they had no time to react.
The messengers who came down from Wu Zhou actually held daggers in their hands and swarmed forward, knocking away the young master who had just relaxed his guard. They either pulled or jumped. The three of them stepped on the bodies of others and jumped.
Get up and attack the young master!
The generals and officers of the surrounding countries were all frightened by the sudden assassination. Their energy had been exhausted by the fatigue of the past few days. At this moment, they did not even have the strength to shout. They just stared instinctively like the guards.
He opened his eyes, and then watched helplessly as the assassins killed the young master!
Three daggers, among the lightning and flint, stabbed the young master countless times. After a breath, the young master didn't even scream. If the human skin was not connected, the head would fall off the shoulders.
laugh--
Blood and water spurt out like arrows!
"There are assassins——"
Someone shouted, and then the surrounding guards reacted, thrust out their spears and swords, and five or six assassins fell to the ground on the spot.
"Keep alive——"
However, when these assassins fell to the ground, the daggers in their hands directly pierced their own necks.
"Dead warrior!"
"Death warrior——"
Not far away, Young Master Xiaoque, who originally had an itchy scalp, immediately changed from an itchy scalp to a numb scalp when he saw the blood shining in the sun!
