The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 348 Sudden accident

"So that's it!"

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?"

"I was wondering why I felt so energetic walking today. It turns out that it was due to the power of an immortal."

"You know what, I feel much better today than yesterday."

"Of course not. My hands and feet are itchy today. It must be a magic."

"But why don't I feel anything?"

A faint voice seemed out of place amid the discussion.

“That must be because you are too weak, and even a little bit of immortal power can’t show any results.

Or maybe your health is too weak and you are unable to absorb the immortal power now.

What a pity, what a pity! "

The person who was told it was a pity was really distressed. He secretly made up his mind to put on the heating pad as soon as possible today to allow his body to absorb more immortal energy.

The others accepted this psychological suggestion and walked with their heads held high. Even the bare mountains in the distance seemed pleasing to the eye.

In this way, they walked for another five days.

During these five days, King Rui's health got better day by day.

The wound that was originally festering and bleeding has now scabbed over and is only slightly itchy.

Ye Xinran changed the medicine for King Rui's external injuries twice.

Looking at the wound that was gradually healing, he comforted King Rui: "After this healing, you won't have the same worries as before."

On the twelfth day, they finally set foot in the northern territory.

After passing Ning'an County, you will reach the border of Daliang.

This place is much more desolate than other cities in Daliang.

The city walls visible in the distance reveal the scars of decay and war.

Arriving here means that the rest of the road will not be as easy as before, and you may encounter danger at any time.

So King Tianrui did not take the trip too long.

It was not yet dark, and when we came across a cliff that provided shelter from the wind, we stopped to rest.

Everyone stopped, sat down, and started packing their bags.

Several deputy generals gathered around King Rui to discuss the next itinerary.

“This is Eagle’s Beak Rock.”

King Rui pointed to a cliff not far away.

The cliff here is very steep, and there is only a layer of white snow on it.

But its cliff edge bends forward, like the shape of an eagle's beak, hence the name.

"After we pass this Eagle's Beak Rock, we may see northern barbarians ahead."

"Are they from the Kosi tribe?"

someone asked.

"Not necessarily!" King Rui replied.

"When the Qiangyou tribe declined, the Kesi tribe in northern Xinjiang rose up and swallowed up more than a dozen tribes, large and small, becoming the largest tribe in northern Xinjiang.

However, there are still some small tribes that do not want to surrender to Kosi and still live a nomadic life.

Although these northern border barbarians belong to different tribes, they share common characteristics, namely greed and cruelty.

They did not dare to confront our army head-on, but always harassed the people on the border, burning, killing and looting them.

After we pass Eagle's Beak Rock, we may run into them at any time!"

When Deputy General Zhou heard that these barbarians often bullied the people, he said indignantly: "It's just right that we met them. These bastards should be taught a lesson and let them know how powerful their grandfather is!"

"That's right. We have come back from the capital just to fight them. If they dare to show their heads, I will punch them one by one!"

"Don't make any noise, listen to what King Rui has to say."

Zhao Yun raised his hand to signal.

Everyone quieted down again, and King Rui continued, "Our attitude towards the barbarians is to kill them all we see, and we will never show any mercy.

But everyone must always remember: the most important task of our trip is to escort food.

General Qi outside Xixia Mountain had sent out a signal asking for food five months ago.

The food has not been delivered yet, and no one knows what the current situation is in the Xixiashan camp.

So everyone should be mentally prepared. We must deliver all the food that is being escorted.

If our camp has been occupied by the Kosi tribe by the time we deliver it, we must ensure that our food does not fall into the hands of the barbarians."

After King Rui finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads in silence.

On the way here, they imagined all kinds of difficulties they might encounter. The only thing they hadn't expected was that after the food was delivered, the people in the Xixiashan camp would no longer be there.

"Your Majesty, what you said is only the worst case scenario. It will never happen!"

asked Lieutenant General Zhou, who had the softest heart.

"Correct!"

King Rui nodded.

“This is just worst-case scenario.

In fact, if Xixia Mountain was really occupied by the barbarians, that person would definitely send the news out no matter what! "

King Rui has full confidence in Xiao Huaian.

"In that case, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Zhao Yun shouted, "Just do it!"

"Yes, just do it!"

"Whoever dares to offend me will be killed!"

"My sword has not tasted blood till today. Let's see who is unlucky enough to sacrifice the sword to me first!"

With the mental preparation for the worst, everyone is determined to fight to the death.

"In that case, then give the order. Starting tomorrow, we must continue to speed up our pace and try to reach Xixia Mountain two days earlier."

"it is good!"

The deputy general called his subordinates and asked them to convey King Rui's oral order one level at a time.

Ye Xinran did not hear the worst possibility that King Rui mentioned. When she heard that the process had to be accelerated, she became more and more nervous.

"I don't know how Xiao Huaian is doing now?

What kind of expression would he make when he saw himself?

Will you be surprised?

surprise?

Or angry? "

Ye Xinran couldn't guess.

The next day, everyone had a simple breakfast, packed up and prepared to set off.

Suddenly, screams and cries for help were heard from a nearby mountain.

Ye Xinran was closer to the sound of the shouting.

She pricked up her ears and looked carefully in the direction where the sound came from.

After a while, several gray figures appeared at the foot of the mountain.

That's three adults and two children.

The way they ran was very awkward.

The two children clearly did not have the physical strength to support it and were clearly lagging behind.

Soon, three big men with machetes appeared behind them.

The big men were shouting something as they ran, and one of them caught up with one of the children.

He raised the scimitar in his hand and chopped at the child's head.

"Swish!" The sound of an arrow feather flew by, and the big man was hit in the forehead by an arrow.

He didn't have time to react and fell straight to the ground, pinning the child under him.

The child was so frightened that he screamed, and his screams pierced people's eardrums.

"who?"

The other big man was startled and looked in the direction where the arrow was shot.

When he saw the army at the foot of the mountain, he turned and ran into the mountain.

“Wuhu Road!”

He ran and called out to his companions.

He was shouting words that Ye Xinran couldn't understand.
