Chapter 3) Disappointment

After the turmoil over Yan Ji's incident subsided, the army began to be assembled and set off the next day.

The three generals who were originally following his eyes also changed from three to two.

The army was marching, and suddenly there was a noise from the front. Yan Xiang stretched his head and took a look, and there seemed to be something going on in front of the army. As for what happened, he couldn't see clearly.

"Uncle Bi, let me go over and take a look." Yan Xiang rushed to the front of the team and saw that several soldiers had been beaten to the point where their mouths and noses were bleeding and fell to the ground. In front of him stood a man in gray shirt carrying a bag.

Guy. This guy lowered his head and couldn't see clearly.

"What happened?" Yan Xiang asked the soldier.

The soldier pointed at the guy carrying the baggage in front of him and said, "Commander-in-Chief, this guy is blocking the middle of the road. We told him that he wouldn't leave, so we sent someone over to chase him away. Who knew that he got into a fight without saying a word?"

, and severely injured all those who passed by us.”

"Wow, is there such a thing?" Yan Xiang unexpectedly looked at the guy carrying the baggage in front of him, "Did he meet a master? But he dared to be so presumptuous in front of the army, which is quite brave. I'll meet him.

"

Yan Xiang turned over and dismounted, holding the Setting Sun Sword in his hand, and walked over, "Brother, why didn't you ask Gao's name? Why are you standing in front of the army?"

But this man didn't say a word, and still lowered his head. Yan Xiang got closer and closer, and he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Yan Xiang. The palm came very quickly, and the aura emanating from the palm made Yan Xiang

There is a very familiar feeling.

Yan Xiang raised his palm and touched the opponent, and each took two steps back. The opponent seemed to realize something, raised his head in surprise, and then met Yan Xiang's eyes.

"Is it you?" Yan Xiang exclaimed. This person was actually Zhang Mo, who had crossed paths with him when he came down from Shu Mountain. But didn't this guy attend the Yandao Conference? Why did he come here?

Zhang Mo was still the same, not saying a word. But from his excited eyes, you could already see the turmoil in his heart.

Yan Xiang asked someone to prepare a horse for Zhang Mo and asked Zhang Mo to follow the army.

They continued to set up camp in the evening, and Yan Xiang invited Zhang Mo into the tent to talk about what happened to them.

"Zhang Mo, how did you get here? Weren't you at the Taoist Research Conference?" Yan Xiang was excited but confused.

Zhang Mo seemed to have not spoken for a long time. He took a sip of water, opened his mouth, and said intermittently after a long time, "When I was at the Yandao Conference, I also went out to search for you. But I didn't want to kill you, and I also

I don’t believe you are a demon. I just want to find you. Later I learned that you were being chased and fled into Jueming Cliff, so I followed that passage to have a look. Who knew I would fall into this place and couldn’t find my way back?

."

The muscles on Zhang Mo's face were a little stiff, which was caused by not talking for a long time. However, he also made it clear that he fell in from the Jueming Cliff like Yan Xiang.

"Then where have you been these days? And how did you get here?" Yan Xiang was very happy to see his old friend. However, this reminded him of the past, and he felt a little worried and depressed.

"When I first came to this place, I found that it was completely different from the previous place. I couldn't adapt to it, so I started traveling around. Then I got a general understanding of the world. And I was always looking for a way back. This time, I still

I really found a clue, which is why I came here." Zhang Mo said in a slow and powerful tone.

"What clue?" Yanxiang asked hurriedly.

Zhang Mo took out a yellowed map from his backpack and slowly unfolded it. It showed famous mountains and rivers, like a topographic map of the surrounding area. But there was a bright red line on it, winding all the way along the mountains.

The final destination is a desert.

"What's this?"

"This is the way back. I found this map after a lot of hard work. The red line above is the place that guides us to the end. In this desert, it is said that there is a magical reaction here, and illusory mirages will occasionally appear.

There are also powerful energy fluctuations. As long as we find this place, we should have a chance to find a way back." Zhang Mo's eyes also showed excitement.

"Are you really sure?" Yan Xiang pondered.

"There must be more than 60% certainty that when we get to this place, we will definitely have a chance to go back." Zhang Mo said with certainty.

Yan Xiang pondered without saying anything. If he could really go back, how should he choose? He should give up the hundreds of thousands of troops, ignore any contentious disputes, and then go with Zhang Mo to find that place and return to the original world.

? But what if it fails?

And where is the Holy Lord and Xiao Wei? He can't leave them behind.

Zhang Mo's idea was to let him go find the desert together and then go back together. But Yan Xiang was not sure about paying attention for the moment. There were still some concerns here, and he couldn't just throw them all away at once.

Finally, he persuaded Zhang Mo to go to the Holy Lord's country together, and then he and Zhang Mo would go back to the desert together.

Zhang Mo agreed. After all, he had been here for so long and he didn't mind staying a little longer.

The army slowly set off, and time passed day by day. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and we were only a mountain away from the Holy Lord's country.

After crossing the mountain, we arrived near a city. Yanxiang asked the soldiers to settle down and not rush to attack. In fact, he never thought about attacking at all.

But now Yan Xiang's heart seems to be no longer concerned with the war between countries. He is thinking about how to go back? Should he take Holy Master and Xiaowei back with him? Where should he go after returning?

At night, the moon is bright, the stars are few, there is no fog and wind.

Yan Xiang, Bi Feifei and Zhang Mo sneaked into the city together. The Holy Lord learned that Yan Xiang and the army had arrived, and had already arranged for people to receive Yan Xiang and welcomed Yan Xiang into an inn. He saw

When we arrived at the Holy Lord, there was also a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The Holy Lord introduced Yan Xiang, "This is our country's great general, Zu An. He has made many contributions to the security of the country."

The Holy Lord also introduced Yan Xiang, Bi Feifan and Zhang Mo to Zu An. When Zu An learned that the man standing in front of him was the legendary undefeated God of War, he felt sincere admiration.

"Where are Xiaowei, Yuwen Youyou and the others? Are they okay?" Yan Xiang was not interested in caring about these gentlemen's sympathy for each other, and directly asked the Holy Master about the people he cared about.

"They are fine. I have arranged a place for them to live in the city. There is no surprise. You can see them when you have the opportunity." The Holy Master said with a smile.

"What does it mean to have a chance?" Yan Xiang frowned.

"You can see them after you give up attacking our country or allow one hundred thousand troops to surrender to our country." The Holy Lord smiled lightly.

"What do you mean?" Yanxiang stared at the Holy Lord, "Are you blackmailing me?"

The Holy Lord looked guilty, "I'm sorry, I have to do something for the sake of national security. Your army of more than 100,000 people can destroy our country overnight with just a wave of your hand. I really don't want to see this happen."

Yan Xiang's eyes darkened. He had no other emotions in his heart, neither anger nor resentment, only disappointment. He looked deeply at the Holy Lord, "I escorted you into Jiangcheng with all my life, and rescued you with all my life.

I thought there was affection between us. It turned out that I was too sentimental. Haha, it turned out that I was just an idiot who was being taken advantage of."

Bi Feifan's eyes also became sharp: "Holy Lord, aren't you being unkind by doing this? Brother Yan has done so much for you, and he even did not hesitate to offend the barbarian gods and become enemies of the entire barbarian race. Now you are treating him like this?"

?If you do this, we have no need for peace talks. I will let the army enter the city tonight."

The Lord's body was trembling, her clothes were trembling, and her hair was trembling. She shed tears, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I have no choice but to do this. I understand that Brother Yan is good to me, but I can't

This does not take into account the safety of the country. If you really blame me, I am willing to die to apologize after this incident, and repay Brother Yan's kindness in the next life."

The Holy Lord lowered his head, not daring to look at Yan Xiang.

Bi Feifan smiled, "Don't make it sound like you are so great. You can do it for the country regardless of your personal feelings. What about me? If you say this, don't I become a traitor? There is nothing to say. You can't even do this most basic thing."

If there is no trust, how can we safely allow a hundred thousand troops to surrender and be controlled by you?"

Yanxiang waved his hands blankly and said, "Uncle Bi, forget it, forget it. The matter has reached this point, let's not talk about it. I won't talk about Xiaowei and Yuwen Youyou for a while, but just talk about your conditions for us. Say it.

Tell me, what arrangements will be made after you let our army of 100,000 surrender?"

Yanxiang's eyes stared at the Holy Lord without blinking.

The Holy Lord did not dare to look at Yan Xiang, and lowered his head and said, "Our plan is this. After letting a hundred thousand troops enter our country, we will still include them in the army and give them equal treatment. And we, the generals and guards, will

They will all be granted official titles and will never be treated unfairly."

"What happens after that? Your country has suddenly increased its population burden by 100,000 troops. What should you do? The Barbarian God will definitely not let you go by then, so what will you do?" Yan Xiang asked expressionlessly.

"We will allow a hundred thousand troops to settle down for a while. Although our country has a small population, the land is rich and we can still afford this small number of people. If the barbarian gods come to invade us, we will definitely fight." The Holy Lord said in a tone.

A tough and unyielding way.

"Well, it seems to be a really good plan. With an army of 100,000 people, you will naturally have nothing to fear. But have you ever thought about what would happen if the Barbarian God lost an army of 100,000 people? He will be furious, and he will recruit troops like crazy.

Oppress ordinary people. Then the barbarian people will probably live in dire straits." Yan Xiang said with stern eyes.
