Zhao Rui looked around again, then removed the water bag from the horse's back and gave Ziyun a sip in his arms.
"You little girl, I told you not to come, but you came anyway!"
Ziyun's face was pale, and she huddled in Zhao Rui's arms extremely weakly.
"Wherever Your Highness is, I will be there. I'm just not used to the environment in the desert. I'll just wait."
Zhao Rui was a little helpless, this little girl's physical fitness was still a little weak.
The team walked like this for ten days, and finally arrived at a fairly prosperous city on the eleventh day.
Looking at the markings on the map, this place should belong to the Harsha Empire, and further south from here is Western Tianzhu.
The Buddhist atmosphere in this place is very strong, and you can see a temple or Buddhist hall every few steps.
You can see ascetic monks everywhere on the street.
When he saw sister Anisa, Zhao Rui was immediately shocked.
The two sisters look very similar, and both have beautiful faces. Even with their shaved heads, they still have a unique charm.
Even Zhao Rui looked a little dumbfounded for a moment.
"Second brother, please bring someone to load my things. We can't stay here any longer, we have to leave quickly!"
Bai Hua was unambiguous and immediately called Batoru and a few others to load the truck.
The amount of Buddhist scriptures that needed to be carried could be said to be of an extremely terrifying magnitude. It was not enough to load up the camels they brought, so they had to buy a dozen more camels from the local area.
Zhao Rui took Ziyun and a few people out to purchase water and supplies.
By the time everything was ready, it was already evening.
The desert at night was several times scarier than during the day. Even Zhao Rui didn't dare to set off rashly and could only wait until the next morning.
At midnight, Zhao Rui sat in the yard under the moonlight and studied the map in his hand.
If all the countries above can be conquered, Dashang's territory can be expanded at least twice as much.
The most important thing is that you can get the materials and soldiers that this place is richly endowed by nature.
Although the quality of the personnel here is not very good, they are still human beings. They just cannot see hope and are unwilling to work hard for their slave masters, so they fight passively.
As long as we can provide some sweetness, it won't take long to form a strong team.
By then, it may be easier to attack Nanchu.
While he was studying, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded not far away.
"Junior sister, I'm afraid it's very dangerous for you to go this time. It's safer for me to take a few monks to personally escort you."
"Brother, I don't think it's necessary. If there are too many people in the team, I'm afraid the danger will increase!"
...
Zhao Rui frowned slightly and slowly leaned over.
I found out that it was Anissa's sister, talking to a handsome middle-aged monk.
The cassocks and Buddhist beads worn by the two people looked extremely luxurious.
During the day, Zhao Rui noticed this. It seemed that the higher the status of the monk, the more gorgeous the things he wore.
It seems that the status of the monk in front of him is not low, at least equal to Anissa's sister.
Moreover, the two of them looked very nervous, as if they were worried about something.
"Senior brother, I won't come back after I leave this time. We still need you here, and you can't just leave like this!"
The middle-aged monk was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.
"Who?"
This exclamation made Zhao Rui slightly startled. His kung fu can be said to be unparalleled in the world, and it was hidden so secretly that no one would find out.
But this monk was able to discover his location at once, which was really amazing.
