Chapter 147 Changing Transportation

He Chunhua held up his Sheji Order: "I am He Chunhua, the governor of Qiansong County in Jinzhou, and I have gone to Xiazhou to take up the post of general manager! You are needed here to help repel the enemy. If not, I will have to order this metasequoia forest to be cut down to stop the enemy!"

Shanze was furious: "How dare you!"

Metasequoia grows slowly. The five trees cut down by these humans were all over a hundred years old, and one was more than two hundred years old. It was the junior it watched grow up.

"Why don't you dare?" He Chunhua said expressionlessly, "If you hurt me, you will lose this position in the mountains and rivers!"

Shanze was silent.

To be honest, this position given by the state is very easy, and humans usually don't look for it to do anything. On the contrary, the power brought to it by the Shanze Divine Throne is of great benefit to practice.

Being able to be five or six feet taller than others of the same kind is due to his Yuan Li.

Having tasted the sweetness of Yuanli, it doesn't want to lose it.

"Okay, but my power can only last for two hours at most, at most!" Shanze said leisurely, "You'd better walk faster."

"Thank you!" He Chunhua saluted it, turned around and ordered the convoy to move forward.

There is a long downhill road ahead. The sunlight is blocked behind the mountain, so this side is immersed in shadow.

Milky white thick fog escaped from the mountains and forests and quickly covered the path walked by the officers and soldiers.

On the way, several giant crocodiles performed another show of tricks, that is, when they encountered the lagoon, they walked straight down the sand embankment, crawled from the water to the sand, and then climbed from the sand into the water. , and started swimming again.

The smallest crocodile here is more than one foot (more than three meters) long. Even walking on the beach is like a mobile fortress, full of domineering.

Everyone gave thumbs up and praised again and again.

The so-called lagoon is a lake formed by a shallow bay because the mouth of the bay is closed by sediment. If an ordinary ship encounters a lagoon blocking the way, it can only make a big detour to find another way out. It is absolutely impossible to walk directly through the sand and move forward in a straight line like the giant crocodile.

In this way, the distance was shortened by at least ten miles.

Brothers on other ships can only take a long way around.

When the crocodile moved smoothly, He Lingchuan closed his eyes to rest and regain his energy - there might be another tough battle to be fought later.

Just after crossing the lagoon, the trees on both sides were lush, and the tree canopy almost covered the water.

Liandeng's nose was stuck by the spider webs coming towards him, and he sneezed hard.

Just as he was about to take a deep breath, a swallow came from nowhere and rushed through the water, and rushed into his mouth!

"Ah, bah, bah, bah!" Deng sighed several times and spit out the bird.

He likes to eat meat, but he doesn’t like it when its legs jump directly into his mouth and the hair sticks to his teeth!

The swallow that was spit out rolled twice on the crocodile's back, but did not fly up, but shrank into the crowd. The space in Crocodile Back is limited and there are many people to sit in, so everyone has to squeeze together.

Two more white birds flew toward each other. They were so confused that they actually collided with each other.

With a "pop" sound, they both fell into the water.

Wu Shaoyi frowned: "There's something wrong."

This is a paradise for birds, and there are countless birds flying back and forth on the river. At this time, they were frightened by some unknown reason, and suddenly they all retreated into the dense forest.

A few simply landed on the crocodile's back and hid in the shadows beneath the humans.

They seem to be more afraid of other things than humans.

"Heaven!" He Lingchuan's heart moved, remembering the strange situation when the troops entered Xianling Village yesterday evening. When tired birds returned to their nests, the trees should be full of chirping, but at that time the surroundings were deathly silent, as if all the birds were afraid of something. .

Just like now.

After being reminded by him, everyone looked up, and sure enough, soon a gangster pointed his finger: "To the west, on the edge of the mountain peak!"

Everyone turned around and saw a lonely figure in the sky, flying like lightning.

"Kestrel!" Wu Shaoyi's expression changed, "No, it's a bird demon raised by Lu Yao! It will inform its owner, and Lu Yao may know our whereabouts."

Fairy Lake is rich in prey, and there are many raptors passing by, but those who can scare the birds into this state are probably well-behaved monsters.

This is a reaction only when seeing a powerful natural enemy.

Liandeng grabbed a pair of bows and arrows and aimed at the kestrel, but after a few breaths he sighed: "No, it's out of range."

During this period, the kestrel flew higher and higher, and everyone had to strain their eyes to see it.

The falcon's eyesight is better than that of humans. Apparently it has noticed that someone is raising a bow below, so it takes off to avoid danger.

At this time, He Lingchuan thought of Hu Min in the Panlong Secret Realm.

That kid can hit the flying falcon with a hundred steps. I wonder if he can hit it?

He Lingchuan had also hunted before, so he knew that falcons and harriers were agile and agile birds of prey. Some of them could even fly faster than arrows, let alone dodge them.

Especially on this side of the sky, there are some ways of doing things.

If he had good shooting skills, destroying this kestrel would be equivalent to blinding Lu Yao's eye. He Lingchuan secretly said that his long-range attack training should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the unknown archer and the two arrows that followed him when he first entered the Panlong Fantasy.

He Lingchuan pressed his throat subconsciously. If the archer were here, shooting this kestrel would be a trivial matter, right?

He was inexplicably confident.

Everyone was cursing.

He Lingchuan looked sideways: "How come the guy surnamed Lu has such a good relationship with monsters?" First it was the crocodile god, and then the falcon monster. In contrast, Wu Shaoyi only has a little mink.

No wonder the chicken coop I touched in Xianling Village kept the reed chicks trembling. It turned out that they had seen a natural enemy.

It seems that monsters play a prominent role on the battlefield. If used well, they can be a surprise force. He Lingchuan also wants to get one for himself.

In a blink of an eye, the red falcon disappeared in the sky.

"It seems that it is also on the road."

Wu Shaoyi's face was grim: "It is also going west, either to send a letter to Pei Xinyong or to Desheng Town. We are in trouble."

They originally planned to sneak into Desheng Town to get some mounts to chase Pei Xinyong and the officers and soldiers. If the bandits stationed in Desheng Town were prepared after being reminded by the red falcon, their attack would be difficult.

In any case, the opponent is likely to have more than 500 people at this time.

Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't think of a good solution for a while.

At this moment, the crocodile god suddenly spoke: "Are you going to Desheng Town to kill people or to steal horses?"

"Both... but stealing horses is the main goal." He Lingchuan patted its broad back, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"There is an abandoned town not far ahead, there may be horses, but only a few." The crocodile god said, "Two days ago, my child saw horses wandering there, and ate one, and the others were frightened and ran into the forest."

He Lingchuan and Wu Shaoyi almost said in unison: "That's enough."

"Horses are nostalgic, they will run away for a while, but they will come back later." Wu Shaoyi pondered, "The plan has changed: Master He just rides a horse to chase his family, and I will take my men to ride the crocodile and continue to Desheng Town."

He Lingchuan was stunned, but he understood in a blink of an eye. He planned to delay the Lu bandits in Desheng Town so that they could not go east to help the lord. Using 200 troops to delay 500 or 700, it would relieve a lot of pressure on the eastern front.

"Thank you!"

Ambush is one way of fighting, and delaying war is another way of fighting.

Wu Shaoyi had been through many battles, so this was no problem for him. He also said, "Even if our whereabouts are discovered by Lu Yao, we still have an advantage, as long as the next action goes smoothly."

The abandoned town that the Crocodile God mentioned soon arrived, only a hundred feet from the shore.

He Lingchuan stuffed a small paper bag into Wu Shaoyi's hand: "This contains a Dragon Tiger Golden Pill. If you eat it, you will be full of energy... for two quarters of an hour, and you will be more powerful than usual. But once the time is over, the person will be withered, at least for three days, and the penis will be useless for two months. Considering your current physical condition, don't swallow it unless it is absolutely necessary."

Wu Shaoyi looked at him deeply: "Thank you, congratulations on your success."

He summoned the sable and said to Lian Deng, "You are a local, show the way to He Da Shao, my sable will go with you, and it can also dispel Pei Xinyong's suspicion."

Lian Deng agreed, and the sable jumped onto his shoulder and landed with He Lingchuan.

The giant crocodile turned around and continued to swim away.

This beach slope is very flat, and it is less than a hundred feet to the abandoned town.

This town originally had more than a hundred households, but now it is empty, and grass grows on the roofs. He Lingchuan saw a little mark on the doorpost of a household, which seemed to be... the water level?

I don’t know which year, Xianling Lake flooded and washed away this town.

The humans who suffered the disaster had to abandon this town.

He Lingchuan and Lian Deng walked through the town to the forest, but they heard a snorting sound after a few steps.

The Crocodile God was right, there are horses here!

He Lingchuan grabbed two handfuls of tender grass from the ground, took out the wine bag from the storage ring, poured a little wine on the green grass, and said to the shadows in the woods: "Little darling, come to me!"

This is fruit wine, less spicy and more fragrant. Lian Deng swallowed his saliva when he smelled it, not to mention the horses in the forest.

They were originally raised by humans, and they came out after smelling it. Seeing that He Lingchuan and the others had no ill intentions, they stretched their heads to grab the grass in his hand.

Compared with the horses of the supporting army, these horses' fur was not smooth enough and their legs were not long enough, but how could He Lingchuan be picky?

He divided the grass and fed it to the two tallest and strongest horses, and then asked Lian Deng: "Can you ride a bare horse?"

These horses probably escaped during the flood, not to mention saddles, they didn't even have bits.

Lian Deng grinned: "No big deal!"

He Lingchuan didn't dare to feed them wine anymore, fearing that the horses would drink too much and their legs would become weak, so he fed them two apples instead, and said a few soft words to comfort them, and the horses became docile.

Everything went surprisingly smoothly.

Behind the town, the villagers had already dug a mountain road, and now it was covered with vines again. The two led the horses across the rugged gravel road and then climbed on the horses.

￥￥￥￥￥

Pei Xinyong and Lu Yao rode side by side, with their men behind them.

They had met at Langming Cave and changed to a fork from here, ready to chase the soldiers.

There were many forks on the Xishan Road, so why did they conclude that the soldiers escaped from here? It was simple. The marks of the vehicles on the sandy ground were clear and continuous, and it was obvious that several carriages carrying heavy objects had passed here not long ago.
