Lufututa stood at the edge of the desert and was protected by many bodyguards. Among them, there was a shield that was as big as a wall. He was really afraid that arrows would suddenly fly out from under a pile of sand. He now had a deep understanding that anything was possible for this little girl who was like a killing god.
As long as it was something that he could think of, it wasn't surprising that she could do it.
"General, the wind is strong outside. It's better to enter the tent to avoid hurting your face." The soldier beside him reminded him.
"Hurting my face? Then go in. I'm not afraid. My face is long gone. What's there to be hurt about? I've already thrown away the Tubo's face. If I really want to lose face, I'll lead the troops and charge in. My ears are still ringing with the words she asked before entering the desert. Are you afraid? Are you afraid? "
Luftuta was filled with anger. Plus, the environment here made him feel uncomfortable. He vented his anger to the soldier beside him.
"I'm not afraid." The soldier gritted his teeth and said.
"Then you lead the troops and charge. I'm scared. I can't tell if she's asking this to scare me so that I won't chase after her or to provoke me so that she can teach me a lesson." Lufututa glared at the soldier.
The soldier was trapped here. His face was red as he said, "I'm willing to go in alone so as not to implicate the other brothers."
"You're still saying you're not afraid? If you're not afraid, why are you worried about implicating others? If it was you, Wang Juan would dare to lead the troops in. Why do you want to go in alone? Are you going to surrender? Is there any news? Is the eagle ready? "
Luftuta really wanted to gather his courage and wave his hand. 20,000 people would enter in formation. However, he didn't dare to do so. It was already like this outside. He didn't know where the attack would come from if he went in. Didn't he see the eagle flying around?
This beast wasn't stupid. It was said that it cooperated with people to attack the Tubo scouts. One eagle could take care of two people. One would grab one in its claws and one in its beak. Why didn't it dive now?
Seeing that the general didn't continue to force him, the soldier didn't dare to say anything else. He replied, "General, I estimate that there will be news in at most half a day. With the help of the eagle, there should be a few eagle trainers in the Tubo."
"That's good. Let's go back." Lufututa was very happy when he thought about the future of the eagle. He turned around and was about to leave.
At this time, six fast horses also rushed over from the back of the camp. The people on the horses were clearly in a hurry. Each person was riding two horses. One was wearing the uniform of the Tibetan Army, while the other two were wearing normal clothes. They sat on the horses dejectedly and sadly, not knowing what was wrong with them.
"Reporting, General, the eagle breeder has been found and brought here." The Tibetan soldier in front of him dismounted and reported.
"Oh? Here he comes? But the two of them? Quick, call them closer. " Lufututa was very excited and greeted them. Suddenly, he looked around suspiciously and looked up at the sky. He asked the messenger, "Where's the eagle? You wouldn't want me to catch them and raise them, would you? "
The two men lowered their heads. The messenger glanced at them and replied helplessly.
"General, when we came here, the two of them said that they were going to use the eagle to scout the road. They were afraid that they would be discovered by the enemy. The two of them flew in the sky for less than half an hour when a group of eagles flew from the east. In the end … the two of them died miserably. Luckily, they didn't discover us and escaped."
"Bullsh * t, do you think that the eagle eyes are blind? It was you who walked underground. This is clearly a show for me to see. I let you come back to report. You can't win, but you can't win either. Go and find as many eagles as the Tang Army has. I don't believe that you can't win."
A very tragic scene appeared in Lufututa's mind. The two eagles were grabbed by a group of eagles, and their feathers were all gone. How tragic.
"General, the same number of eagles is useless. At that time, the other party had a group of eagles, but only one eagle flew out. After five rounds, one of our eagles was caught and the other had its head bitten off. Two against one, we couldn't win."
The messenger continued.
He suddenly thought of something and took out something. "General, the other party's eagle was also injured. Look, the thing wrapped around its claws was torn. There are traces of blood on it."
Lufututa took it and saw that it was a piece of cloth. The two sides of the cloth were dyed red. There was a picture in the middle. It was a cute seedling with eyes. One of its arms was pointed forward while the other was flat. There was an eagle on the flat arm.
He recognized it. He wasn't the only one who recognized it. The surrounding generals also recognized it. This was the symbol of the Zhang Wang family in San Shui County. The flag of Devil Cuckoo also had a seedling like this. However, the seedling was pulling a cart filled with provisions. It represented the logistics camp in Yizhou.
Seeing this picture, Lufututa suddenly felt relieved. The surrounding people who could see the picture also didn't feel as sad as before.
"En! If it was an eagle sent by the Zhang Wang family in San Shui County, it would be understandable if it fought against two. It would be strange if it couldn't win. Even a girl from their family could fight against many with fewer people, let alone an eagle. Your two eagles didn't die in vain. They didn't even need to use any tricks on you. "
Lufututa started to comfort the two men who lost their eagles. The surrounding people nodded in agreement.
The two men who raised the eagles thought that they would be punished. They didn't expect to be comforted. They looked at each other. One of them said, "General, we can't accept this. Why is the San Shui Zhang family's eagle better than ours? We'll go back immediately and find other eagle trainers to take revenge. "
"Don't, just go and find them. When you come over, avoid them. Don't fly. If you can't accept it, do you think I can? Even if you can't accept it, you have to bear with it. Come over here and take care of this eagle. I'll count it as a great achievement. If you want to take care of the eagles above, you have to find at least five. No, ten of them. And they have to be careful. You have to work together and take care of each other. Rest for a while before you leave. "
Lufututa warned them. He was afraid that the two men would act rashly. If that happened … they had already fallen into the enemy's hands.
The two of them still wanted to say something, but they were dragged away by the messenger. As they walked away, the messenger said, "Listen to the general's words. Bring at least ten of them and come over quietly. It's best to train them over there first and work together in battle. Don't be greedy and act rashly. Don't you see that the general has close to forty thousand people here in formation.
The two eagle trainers were scared by this. They nodded and followed the soldier to rest. After walking for a while, they reacted. Was there a need for this? Forty thousand men were scared to this extent?

The Grand Pass was long and winding. Carriages were about to overturn when they were on the road. Horses were about to fall into the stream when they stepped on it.
Mi Fan and the other two men who came from the capital finally experienced the danger of Shudao. They rode their horses. In the beginning, they carefully stuck to the side of the mountain. Now, they dismounted from their horses and walked slowly. Mi Fan and Han Xuanfeng glanced at the stream below them from time to time. They shivered and held the rock wall beside them.
Jiu Meileng was brave. She walked in the middle and felt the wind blowing from the stream. She also felt the unique humidity of Taotao's water.
"Come over here. Don't fall down." Han Xuanfeng had shouted more than once. Every time, Jiu Meileng would smile and tell them that she was not afraid. She said that she was five feet tall. Every step was about two feet and six inches. She was four feet and seven inches away from the side. Even if she missed a step, she would not fall down.
She asked the two men to continue riding. She said that since the horse was used to this path, it would know how to control itself. The two men did not dare to do anything. Fortunately, Mi Fan did not feel uncomfortable. She knew that Jiu Meileng would not be in danger for the time being.
Jiu Meileng walked and said to the two men discontentedly, "Are you still men? If you keep moving, it will be too late by the time you reach the place. "
"No, Mi Fan is here. If it's really late, he'll feel uncomfortable. It has nothing to do with whether he's a man or not. I'm just afraid of heights. It's not the critical moment yet. If I accidentally hurt myself, the Zhang family will be angry. The Zhang family values people with ability very much, but they also take care of people without ability."
Han Xuanfeng would not go over. He wanted to dig his hand into the stone.
"You still have the ability? You are rowing to death. You are waiting for me to save you. Without me, you will beg for help from heaven and earth … "
"I beg you now. Stop talking. If you say something ungrateful again, I will jump down." Han Xuanfeng was tortured.
"Are you good at swimming? If you're lucky, you can give it a try. At the very least, when you jump out, you have to land about six feet away. Otherwise, you won't be able to fall into the water and will crash to your death. Let me calculate for you. From here to the surface of the water, it's about …
"Get on the horse and go. We are in a hurry. Mi Fan, please. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me." Han Xuanfeng gathered his courage and got on the horse.
Mi Fan was helpless. She also climbed on the horse. She took a deep breath and said, "Let's do it. We will reach the place tomorrow."

Zhang Zhong in Yizhou had just arranged the general affairs of the ski resort and handed it over to the people in the inner yard. He began to lead the people who had nothing to do to build the road. The imperial edict was not fake. If it was built, it had to be built. It was not paid. Fortunately, it gave a policy. If it was used well, it would make a lot of money.
Zhang Zhong was not worried about this. He believed in his son's ability. With the policy given, it would be easy to earn a few times the amount of money needed to build the road. The road was made of sand and stones. The key places were reinforced with cement to prevent the road from being damaged.
There were also a few eagles to help. When there was a need for a suspension bridge, the eagles would send one end of the rope over. Then, there would be people pulling on the rope. The rope gradually thickened and was much faster than before. When there were stones in the middle of the road or stones that could easily slide, they would use explosives to blow them up.
The explosives were placed on the side as if there was no danger. There was also no one guarding nearby. It gave people the feeling that they could take it at any time.
Zhang Zhong also hoped that someone would take it. However, he was disappointed. Even if people knew how powerful this thing was, no one touched it, let alone steal it for research. The ambushers were always there, and so was the cement that had not been mixed.
The working people did not care about the conspiracy or political purpose of the road building. They could do the work. After the construction period, they could get money. Moreover, it would be convenient for them to go back and forth in the future. They worked very hard.
The food was not bad. Zhang Zhong was also in charge of providing worn out clothes and tools. The people felt that this kind of life was not bad. However, they did not know that under the calm surface, there were enemies and allies on another level.
