"Yes, the wind is coming!!" She looked at the sky, her eyes deep, and murmured to herself. The cold wind of Alashan Grassland whistled in her ears, and her beautiful body trembled slightly.
Yu Jia only had a few months to live!! Thinking of what the goddess had said, Lin Wanrong's mood suddenly became complicated. This girl's medical skills were profound, and he didn't know if she realized it herself.
After pondering for a while, he felt his interest waning. He sighed, shook his head, and said, "Miss Yu Jia, take care!! Brother Gao, let's go. "
Then, he didn't care if Crescent Moon could understand the deeper meaning of his words, and he got up and walked down the slope. The two walked in a hurry, their expressions determined, and they never looked back.
Since the beginning of Sky Mountain, I have always been the one hiding from him. When has he ever been hiding from me? Yu Jia stared at his back, speechless and silent. The rising cold wind rustled her loose robe, causing it to make a rustling sound.
After leaving Yu Jia, Lin Wanrong didn't return to the camp. Instead, he went around the slope, and went straight to the endless tobacco field. A faint bitter smell mixed with the fragrance of the soil blew over, and the green tobacco leaves stretched as far as the eye could see, all the way to the sky. Gao Qiu couldn't get used to the smell of tobacco, and quickly covered his nose, and said, "Brother Lin, what is this Spicy Nose Grass for? It smells weird, why do you and Yu Jia treat it like a treasure?! "
He plucked a banana-like leaf, put it next to his nose, and took a deep sniff. That familiar smell made him feel relaxed and happy, and he didn't want to leave.
"You haven't tasted it, so of course you can't feel how good it is." Holding the Spicy Nose Grass, and lightly clapping his hands, Lin Wanrong smiled, and said, "When this Spicy Nose Grass is ripe, I will cut it into shreds, and let you taste it. I'm sure you'll love this stuff. Even if you know it is poison. There are still countless people who are obsessed with it. "
"Poison?!" Old Gao was shocked, and jumped away from the Spicy Nose Grass, and said, "Brother Lin, don't scare me. This poison can be tasted?! Isn't that poisoning the people of China? "
"That's right. This is indeed a slow-acting poison. "Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled." However, I don't intend to use it to poison our own people. There are so many Japanese and Westerners. We can just sell this thing to them. We can just count the money directly. "
So it was to "poison" the Westerners! Old Gao heaved a long sigh and said with lingering fear, "Doing business with the Westerners? He had to be careful. I heard that those Westerners are bad, specifically extorting money from our China. "
Lin Wanrong's eyes flashed and he said, "Big Brother Gao, don't think the Westerners are so powerful. As long as we Chinese don't lie to ourselves, no one in this world can lie to us! "
That makes sense! As long as there is an unscrupulous businessman like Brother Lin around. Which Westerner can deceive us? If he didn't lie to them, it would already be a blessing to their ancestors. Gao Qiu immediately felt relieved. Then, he said with some regret, "Is the Spicy Nosed Grass really that powerful? It's a pity that this thing grows in the Turkic Khaganate. Why don't we just take this Kebudo by force? In any case, we haven't taken over the Hu's territory yet. If we don't give it a try, we won't be satisfied! "
Old Gao, this fellow, was quite daring. Lin Wanrong laughed happily. "That's a good suggestion. I can consider it, I can consider it!"
Kebudo was just a joke. This Kebudo was located at the northern foot of the Altai Mountains, far away from China and less than 400 li away from the Khaganate. If he really wanted to take over this place, he might as well take over Kizil and completely wipe out the Turks!
However, according to Lin Wanrong's character, since he found a large amount of tobacco in this Kebudo, it wouldn't be in his character not to take advantage of the Turks.
As for how to take advantage of them, he thought for a long time and vaguely came up with some ideas. But to put them into practice, he had to defeat the Turks first.
He picked up a tobacco tree, tied up the leaves and branches, and stuffed it into the luggage behind him. If he was lucky enough to return to China, he could ask Uncle Fu and the rest to study it.
As they were deep in the enemy's territory, they couldn't set up camp or build a bonfire, so all the soldiers rested on the spot. Lin Wanrong's camp was just a small hill that was littered with some hay. But compared to the demonic journey of crossing Lop Nor and the snowy mountains, he was already satisfied.
Heaven as his blanket and the earth as his bed. He laid down and just as he heaved a sigh of relief, he felt a fragrant breeze and a beautiful figure appeared beside him.
"Big sister, where did you go? I've missed you to death! "Hugging the fairy's delicate body, which was smooth and tender, and her skin was like cream, it was truly a heavenly enjoyment. He buried his head in Ning Yuxi's chest. Without any preparation, sweet words came out of his mouth.
The fairy blushed slightly. This little thief always looked for opportunities to take advantage of her, it was really hard to guard against. Pushing him a few inches away from her, the fairy said softly, "Don't be mischievous, I have something serious to talk to you about."
"Don't tell me that I'm not serious when I think of Sister Fairy?" Lin Wanrong giggled and sniffed her hair. "Fragrant, so fragrant! What kind of soap did you use to bathe? Is it our Xiao Family's soap? Then congratulations, I don't have to spend money to bathe in the future! "
This person was not serious at all. The fairy spat lightly and stopped his touching and touching hands. She shook her head and said, "After listening to what I have to say, if you still have such a leisurely mood, then I'll give it to you!"
Lin Wanrong blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "What is it?!"
Ning Yuxi sighed slightly. "It's not good news — do you know where I have been these two days?!"
Ever since they crossed Altai Mountain, the fairy had disappeared. Lin Wanrong was already used to her coming and going like the wind, her mysterious personality, so it was not strange at all. Hearing her words, he hurriedly asked, "Where did you go?!"
The fairy smiled slightly and said softly, "The — Turkic — Royal — Court!!"
"What?!" Lin Wanrong's expression changed drastically, and he almost jumped up in shock. "You went to Kizil?! Sister Fairy, don't scare me! "
"Why would I scare you?" The fairy held his hand and smiled gently. "Don't worry about me. Don't you know my ability? In this world, other than one person who can hurt me, the others are still too far away! "
"Who, who can hurt you? How dare you, I'll go kill him! "Lin Wanrong took out his gun and said angrily with a murderous look.
"Pfft." The fairy pursed her lips and laughed lightly. She didn't say anything and only looked at him affectionately, her eyes as soft as water.
Lin Wanrong was stunned and suddenly understood what she meant. With Fairy Ning's ability, even if Fox An came personally, he wouldn't be her match. In the whole world, the only person who can hurt her is probably me, Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong was proud and touched, and he held her hand tightly. "Sister Fairy, don't tease me anymore. I'd rather hurt myself than hurt you! "
"You only know how to say nice things." Ning Yuxi's heart warmed, and her face heated up. "I only went one round around that Kizil and came back!"
"It's good that you're back." Lin Wanrong didn't even blink. He said seriously, "That's not a place you should have gone to in the first place!"
Fairy Ning shook her head. "Listen to me first. I wanted to go in and explore under the cover of the night, but I was stopped when I reached the periphery! "
Lin Wanrong frowned. "You managed to stop him? Why? "
Ning Yuxi held his hand and looked at him gently. She said softly, "I told you not to be anxious — the periphery of that Kizil is well stocked with rations, and the army is at its peak. There are more than 100,000 soldiers gathered there!!"
Lin Wanrong jumped up, and his expression changed. "100,000 soldiers?!"
Fairy Ning nodded silently, and Lin Wanrong instantly stood there. No wonder Fairy Ning said that he couldn't be as carefree as before. This shocking news was like a bolt of lightning, striking him in the pit of his heart.
Why would the Turks gather 100,000 soldiers in Kizil?! Could it be that they realized my motive?! Or, do they have other motives?!
If the Turks have realized my motive, not only will my surprise attack be in vain, even my 5,000 soldiers will be surrounded by the barbarians. It's impossible to retreat to the Sea of Death, and attacking Kizil is like hitting a rock with an egg. There's a blockade in front, and no way back. Am I really going to die before I succeed?!
He frowned and gritted his teeth, pacing back and forth anxiously. The good mood he had just now had already disappeared without a trace.
Ning Yuxi looked at his furrowed brows and felt the anxiety in his heart. Suddenly, there was a warm feeling of sharing weal and woe. Even their breaths seemed to be one with each other.
"You don't have to worry too," Fairy Ning's gentle voice sounded in his ear. "I noticed that these barbarians' rations and warhorses were only gathered recently. They might not be targeting us."
Lin Wanrong grunted and suddenly stopped walking. He held her hand tightly and sighed. "This time, it's all thanks to Fairy Ning. Otherwise, I would have fallen into the trap of 100,000 barbarians!"
Ning Yuxi shook her head and smiled. "You're not that stupid! Sooner or later, there will be scouts reporting to you. I'm just bringing it forward by a few days. "
"Sister, don't underestimate these few days," Lin Wanrong said seriously. "With these few days of judgment, it's highly possible to decide the outcome of this war! This matter is too important. I have to discuss it with Brother Hu and the rest. "
100,000 Turkic cavalry was enough to crush these 5,000 men into pieces. One could imagine how heavy Lin Wanrong's heart was. Fairy Ning said softly, "Then go quickly. I'll wait for you here."
Her words warmed Lin Wanrong's heart. He hurriedly nodded and turned to leave. Before he took a few steps, he suddenly heard Ning Yuxi calling him from behind, "Little thief —"
That voice was so gentle that Lin Wanrong's bones softened. He hurriedly turned around and asked, "Fairy Ning, you called me?!"
Before he could react, he felt a fragrant breeze brushing past him. Two warm and soft lips gently reflected on his cheek.
"Don't be afraid." A warm little hand held his hand tightly. Ning Yuxi's cheeks were bright red as she looked at him affectionately. Her soft lips parted slightly. "I will always be by your side. I will never leave you. We will live and die together!"
"Jiejie — —" Lin Wanrong's heart warmed, and her nose felt sour. Suddenly, she hugged her soft body and hugged her a few times, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid. I'm very strong, and my nickname is the Unkillable Cockroach. Moreover, we haven't consummated our marriage — — "
"Pfft," Ning Yuxi snorted. Her face was burning and she hurriedly pushed him away. The little thief giggled and returned to his usual joking manner. In her heart, she felt incomparably warm.
"100,000 people?!" Everyone's eyes widened. Their mouths were agape. They were speechless for a long time. With one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry standing guard outside the Hu royal court, how could they possibly fight at all! It was already a miracle that they were not eaten by the Turkic cavalry.
This sudden turn of events caused everyone to fall silent. The excitement he felt when Kizil was right in front of him instantly dropped to the freezing point.
"Brother Lin, where did this news come from?" Gao Qiu asked curiously. "Our scouts are only a hundred miles away. Why would there suddenly be news of Kizil? "
With Fairy's abilities, this news can't be wrong. Lin Wanrong said in a low voice, "Don't ask about the source. This news can't be fake!"
His expression was firm and there was no room for doubt. No one asked any more questions. Hu Bugui sighed and said helplessly, "If Kizil really has 100,000 Turkic cavalry, then it's not a matter of whether we fight or not. It's a matter of life and death for our five thousand brothers."
"What's there to be afraid of? At most, we'll fight to the death with the Turkic cavalry!" Gao Qiu scolded. This won Xu Zhen and Li Wuling's approval.
Lin Wanrong frowned. He had led five thousand soldiers through the Silk Road and experienced many hardships to reach the foot of the Altai Mountains. They did not come here to die.
"General, what do you think of these one hundred thousand Hu people?!" Hu Bugui asked in a low voice. He had the most experience. He was very experienced and steady, and did not agree with Old Gao's opinion.
Lin Wanrong slowly paced a few steps and nodded slightly. "In this world, there are only two outcomes – either good or bad! Even if a hundred thousand Hu gather at the outskirts of Kizil, they won't be able to escape from these two words! "
Old Gao was confused. He asked anxiously, "What is bad, and what is good?!"
Lin Wanrong chuckled. "If it's a bad thing, then it's a bad thing. This means that these one hundred thousand Turks are here for us. Even if we hadn't ambushed Kizil, we wouldn't have been able to ambush him. They also want to exterminate us! "
This was indeed the worst-case scenario. Li Wuling was perplexed. "But how did the Turks know that our target is their royal court?!"
Little Li-zi's question was exactly what everyone was thinking. Lin Wanrong nodded. "If the Turks want to discover our intentions, then there are only two possibilities — — either they guessed it themselves, and Lu Dongzan had already discovered our intentions the moment we entered Yiwu — —"
Hu Bugui pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "This is impossible! The Silk Road leads to the Altai Mountains, besides General Lin, who else in this world would know? Is Lu Dongzan the reincarnation of a deity? Otherwise, how could he guess that we would cross the Sea of Death to attack Kizil, and even send a hundred thousand soldiers to guard the royal court?! "
Old Hu's analysis was reasonable. Lu Dongzan was intelligent, but he was not an immortal who could predict the future. Lin Wanrong nodded. "Brother Hu is right, for the Turks to guess it themselves, the difficulty is equivalent to plucking the stars from the sky, it is almost impossible. Then, there is only one possibility — — perhaps, someone among us has informed the Turks! "
"What?" Old Gao was shocked. "Could there be a spy among us brothers?!"
Lin Wanrong shook his head. "These are our brothers who have gone through life and death with us, how could there be a spy. Brother Gao, you're thinking too much! "
Li Wuling's eyes suddenly widened. "Could it be — — Yujia?!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Looking at the entire army, if there was really someone who had communicated with the Hu, then the possibility of it being Yueya was the highest.
"It shouldn't be her." Old Hu said calmly. "From the moment we entered Yiwu, passed through Lop Nor, crossed the snow mountains, Yujia did not know our goal. Even if she knew, she would not be able to send her message out in the snow mountains. She would not have a chance until we crossed the Altai Mountains. Putting aside the fact that we have been keeping a tight watch on her, even if she really did send the message, it would only take a day. She might not even reach Ke Zil. How could the Hu people gather a hundred thousand men so quickly? "
Everyone nodded silently. Yujia, who seemed to be the most suspicious, was actually the least likely!
"Or could it be that Aunt Xu leaked the news?" Little Li frowned. "But that doesn't make sense! Such an important matter, Aunt Xu would definitely not tell anyone, at most she would inform Grandfather. Outsiders would not know. "
Brainstorming was indeed useful. With a few words, they eliminated all the possibilities. Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled. "Hearing what you said, I really can't think of a reason for the Hu to find out."
Hearing the hidden meaning behind his words, Xu Zhen suddenly had an idea. "General, just now you said that everything is either bad or good! Now that we have eliminated the bad possibility, what good is the gathering of a hundred thousand soldiers of the Hu? "
"Who says it's not good?!" Lin Wanrong said. "Maybe, there is movement from the Helan Mountains!"
