high official

Chapter 341 Great Gobi

When he knew that there were only about twenty of the five hundred warriors left, Baoyin's tears burst like a bank, which made people feel very distressed.

Wang Xian also thought of Delemu's entrustment, and couldn't help but feel guilty: "I'm sorry, I went too far, don't be sad."

It was fine if he didn't apologize, but when he apologized, Baoyin cried even harder, tears rolling down his mouth, like pear blossoms with rain.Wang Xian looked at him and scolded himself as a bastard, so he changed the subject and said, "How many troops are stationed in Guangwu Town?"

"The number of three thousand." Baoyin is a girl who knows the general situation, and this trick really worked.While wiping her tears, she told Wang Xian about the situation after the farewell.It turned out that Arutai was cautious by nature, and the army did not forget to consider the way forward, so he sent his third son to lead the army to station here. "Actually, there are not many. I discussed with Brother Ang and Brother Xu. If it fails, we will take Guangwu Town. I will wait for you to make a decision."

"Alas..." Wang Xian sighed, but he couldn't arouse any fighting spirit at all. He sat slowly on the sand mixed with yellow grass, and said after a while: "No fight."

"Okay." Baoyin nodded without asking why, and listened to his next words.

"You don't ask why?" Wang Xian put his hands behind his head and said tiredly.

"Of course you have your reasons." Baoyin was angry at him at first, but seeing that his face had become high cheekbones, emaciated, and his eyes were bloodshot, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and couldn't be angry anymore. Come, or cooperate and ask: "Why?"

"Because the blood has been shed enough." Wang Xian said with a look of pain on his face: "There are only a few people in Borzigit, and five hundred people went there in one go. There can be no more deaths. Otherwise, what will happen to Borzigit?" A foothold in Hetao? Isn't it the end of being annexed?" During the time of fighting side by side with Delem and the others, he has deeply liked these kind and brave Borzigit people.He couldn't forget those Borzigit brothers who died protecting him, and he couldn't let their people bleed anymore.

Baoyin looked at the unresolved sadness on his face, nodded, and said softly, "It's all up to you."

.

After resting all night and walking out of the tent the next day, Wang Xian's face became more tired. He didn't sleep a wink all night for the sake of the way out for these two thousand and five hundred people.

After a simple wash, Wu Wei brought a pot of broth and a few thick noodle cakes to invite Wang Xian to have breakfast.

"Is the food good?" Wang Xian had no appetite, took a spoonful of the soup, tasted it, and said, "You can still eat mutton soup."

"Don't you care about your tongue?" Wu Wei said with a smile, "This is not mutton, it's rabbit." He said softly, "My sister-in-law got up early in the morning to beat you." He smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is really nice to you, please eat it while it's hot."

"I just saw a silly rabbit, so I beat it along the way." At this moment, Baoyin came over and whispered to Wu Wei: "Brother Wu, you should call me Baoyin, I can't bear the title of sister-in-law... "

"Alas..." Wang Xian scratched his head guiltily, changed the subject and asked, "How much food is left?"

"It's still half a month away." Wu Wei thought about it, and said honestly: "A lot of food was lost during the retreat, and this is the result of saving food and money."

"Yeah." Just as Wang Xian expected, he barely drank a bowl of soup, then pushed the whole bowl of meat to Baoyin and said, "Let's eat it for the wounded man, I'm tired of eating meat."

"You just want to eat it if you don't want to." Baoyin bit her lips tightly, tears rolling in her eye sockets.

"Is your lord feeling unwell?" Wu Wei frowned, looked at Wang Xian, stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, and said, "The pulse condition is slippery and rapid, and you are sick from overwork, and the wind and cold are entering your body. My lord needs to rest and recuperate."

"What, are you sick?" Baoyin's small emotions were immediately thrown out of the blue, and he hurried forward to check.

"Don't worry, it's just a small cold. I'm in good health. When have I ever been sick? It will be fine in a few days." Wang Xian withdrew his hand, smiled indifferently and said, "It's important to talk about business." He said seriously Said: "I'm not going to take the Hanhai Corridor! I still follow my original thought and go through the Gobi from here!"

"Your Excellency doesn't want to let Borzigit die again. I understand this feeling." Wu Wei frowned and said, "But the two thousand miles of the Gobi will take more than a month at the fastest. We have so many people and animals. With little food and water, how can I get out?"

"Lack of food is easy to say, can we kill horses?" Wang Xian had already made up his mind and said: "As for the lack of water, there is actually no shortage of water in the Great Gobi. I remember that when I came here, I could see springs from time to time."

"But nine times out of ten it is bitter and salty, not only can't quench thirst, but will drink to death." Wu Wei said.

"As long as there is water, I have a way to make people drink it." Wang Xian now regrets why he didn't insist on his own opinion at the beginning, and had to pay such a high price before returning to the old road.But in fact, if he hadn't been desperate, he wouldn't have made up his mind to take this big risk.

"My lord, if your method doesn't work when the time comes, then no one will be able to get out of the desert." Wu Wei had to remind.

"Don't worry, I have tested it, as long as I can find water, I can do it." Wang Xian said lightly.In the days after Hulan suddenly lost his temperature, he did some explorations, and he dared to bring up the Gobi again because of his confidence.

"Yes." Wu Wei obeyed, looked at Baoyin and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"Okay." Baoyin knew about it a long time ago, so he was not surprised. When he nodded and conveyed the order, all the people in Borzigit showed panic.In their eyes, the Great Gobi is sacred and terrifying, and the Hanhai Corridor is a passage given to them by the longevity gods. Apart from this, there is no doubt that if you go any other way, you will die.

But Baoyin Qiqige firmly supports Wang Xian's decision. She believes that Wang Xian will take her people out of the desert.When Beji expressed his support, the clansmen naturally stopped talking and began to prepare silently according to Wang Xian's request.

Wang Xian's request was very simple. The extra horses were killed, the horse meat was boiled and dried, and the horse skin was sewn into large and small water bags to store as much water as possible.For the Mongols who regard horses as their friends, it is very difficult for them to kill the horses, but Baoyin fully cooperated with Wang Xian and persuaded the tribe to follow orders.

At dawn five days later, the extra horses were killed, all the baggage was thrown away, and the team, which brought almost nothing except water, food and tents, stepped into the endless Gobi.

"We're going to cross the desert from now on!" Wang Xian seemed to be recovering from his illness, standing on a big red rock, he gave the last encouragement to the crowd: "In order to survive, and to run towards a better life, we must grit our teeth Persevere, believe me, as long as we insist on doing what I say, we will surely conquer the Mahle Gobi!" After speaking, he took the lead and walked into the vast Gobi with a [-]-jin water bag on his back.

The Borzigits and two hundred Han people also carried water on their backs like him... Thirty catties for men and twenty catties for women, they followed behind him silently.Except for the wounded, everyone walks, and the horses carry water, food, and tents, which can no longer increase the burden.

.

"Military Master, is Mahler Gobi the new name you gave to the Great Gobi?" Xu Huaiqing moved to Wang Xian's side, overcoming the water on his back.

"Why are you looking down on me?" Wang Xianbai glanced at him and said, "I have a lot of energy."

"My brother, why are you being polite?" Xu Huaiqing said with a smile: "My old Xu just has strength, so it's not in vain." He murmured not far away and said, "If you have energy, help your younger siblings." Baoyin She was also carrying twenty catties of water, and the tribe wanted to help her carry it, but she firmly refused.

"Stupid woman." Wang Xian sighed, "Isn't she like this before?"

"People change." Xu Huaiqing said with a rare philosophy: "After so many things, she is no longer the original her. Lieba has a good vision, and my brother and sister are people who can shoulder the burden."

"You're asking for trouble." Wang Xian muttered, and walked towards Baoyin, Xu Huaiqing called out from behind: "Military Master, you haven't answered me yet?!"

"Yes, I wanted to show my contempt for it, so I named it." Wang Xian shrugged and replied, walking to Bao Yin's side to pick up the water bag on her back.Baoyin had already seen that it was him, but kept his head down and refused to let go.

"Let go." Wang Xian whispered.

Baoyin shook his head.

Wang Xian forcibly broke her hand, but Baoyin clenched her fist tightly and said in a low voice, "I'm not someone like you, so don't make trouble."

"Ha." Wang Xianxin said that it's really a retribution for the world, why are these words so familiar, he grabbed the water bag and said: "I promised De Lemu and the others that I will treat you well in the future."

Seeing him come to help her, Baoyin was still sweet in her heart, but when he heard him say this, her face changed suddenly, and she snatched it back and said, "No, I don't need it."

"Just use it, you need it." Wang Xian snatched it.

"You don't need it, you don't need it." Baoyin snatched it back again.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two scrambled against each other like children, and finally accidentally, the water bag was torn, and the precious clear water splashed out.The two were in a hurry, Baoyin quickly grabbed the mouth with his hands, Wang Xian caught the water with his leather robe, and did not spill a few drops on the ground, the cooperation was perfect.

Seeing their dance-like movements, Xu Huaiqing shook his head and said, "There is really a tacit understanding, who would believe that they are not a couple?"

"This is Huanxi's enemy." Wu Wei smiled and said with great emotion: "There has to be someone who softens completely before we can stop fighting." He could see that both of them had problems with their personalities, and Wang Xian was stubborn. Sometimes, Baoyin is soft, and when Wang Xian is soft, Baoyin is hard, like sitting on a seesaw, always unable to find balance.

In that room, someone found an empty water bag and asked the two of them to pour water into it. After finishing, Wang Xian put the water bag on his back and returned to court like a victorious general.

Baoyin stomped her feet, and Sana said something to her for a while, but laughed again.

In this rather pleasant atmosphere, the team marched towards the depths of the Great Gobi!

The verdant and vibrant grasslands have been left far behind, and they have entered the forbidden zone of life.
