Southern Xinjiang, Cangwu Plain. This area is nearly a thousand miles in circumference and is the intersection of the Xun and Gui rivers. It is surrounded by mountains on both sides of the northeast and has barriers on all sides that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. A Xun River leads to the land of the barbarians in the Southern Wilderness. Just go down the river.
It flows eastward directly into the sea, and can reach Jingzhou in the north, and Wuyue in the east. It is an excellent place to advance, attack, retreat and defend.
As early as two days ago, Qin Yang had abandoned his horse and boarded a boat. He led the civil servants, generals and 500 guards who were going to Xiandao this time, and took more than 20 small boats down the river. When they arrived at Cangwu, they came from Guilin.
Huang Zhong and Zhang Baiqi, who were building the city in Cangwu, had been waiting at the dock for a long time.
"General Zhang, how is the progress of Cangwu New City?" After disembarking from the ship and landing, Qin Yang did not rest and rushed directly to the construction site of Cangwu City. To personally inspect the progress of the project, Qin Yang also asked Zhang Baiqi and Huang Zhong
One of the reasons for waiting in Cangwu.
"Your Highness, please look..." Zhang Baiqi smiled slightly and did not say much, but directly raised his hand and pointed into the distance.
The view above the endless plain was excellent. Qin Yang and others looked up and saw a thin dark gray line in the distance between the sky and the earth. Near the thin line, towering high, the scaffolding used to transport stones was vaguely visible.
Nearby on the Guijiang River, countless rafts of wood were carried down the river, all carrying timber cut from the nearby mountains.
"According to His Highness's wishes, the Cangwu city wall is twenty meters high, the widest part of the foundation is eighteen meters, and the military road above the city is twelve meters wide, which is enough to allow four military chariots to pass through at the same time without obstruction. There are all bunkers and towers in the city.
The water of the Gui River is diverted from the outside to form a moat around the city. Its strength is no less than that of Luoyang City, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. After His Highness personally mobilizes 10,000 elite soldiers and craftsmen, it is expected to be basically completed next year..." Zhang Baiqi also watched.
The city in the distance has begun to take shape. He said confidently like a treasure.
"Well, are the surrounding local tribes not causing any trouble?" Qin Yang asked as he walked. He was still extremely satisfied with Zhang Baiqi's ability to do things.
Zhang Baiqi laughed and said: "The barbarians are the most respected in southern Xinjiang, and the number of these surrounding tribes ranges from thousands to hundreds. Naturally, under the intimidation of His Highness and the Barbarian King Meng Huo, they did not dare to act rashly. Moreover, the general also followed the instructions
According to His Highness's instructions, people were sent to communicate with the local tribes and promised to help them build villages and develop. They were happy before it was too late, so how could they cause trouble? Moreover, many of these tribes knew that Cangwu was going to build a city.
They also volunteered to help us.”
Qin Yang nodded and smiled and said: "That's very good. As far as I know, when the Qin Dynasty was sweeping the country, there were already cities and counties here. However, they have been abandoned due to years of wars and wars. The tribes here have already been abandoned.
Most people will not exclude the Central Plains people too much. You have done a good job, but after you leave, you must also arrange for prudent people to develop this momentum. From now on, this will be our foundation. Don't lose the support of the people."
"Yes..." Zhang Baiqi immediately accepted the order, and then said doubtfully: "Your Highness, as far as the general knows, the overseas fairy islands are full of strange beasts and extremely dangerous. Why would Your Highness risk his life with a body of ten thousand gold?
?”
Qin Yang chuckled and said: "You will know this by then. In today's world, the enemies we have to face are not just Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang and other princes... If we encounter more powerful enemies in the future, I am afraid we will have to
Relying on the power of this beast god..."
Not long after, everyone had arrived at the foot of Cangwu City. At this moment, the foundation of the city wall had already been built. The outer wall had also been built to about two meters. The gray line that had been seen in the distance now looked extremely spectacular. Up and down the city wall
, countless craftsmen were sweating under the scorching sun. Most of the Yellow Turban soldiers sent by Qin Yang, in addition to some necessary vigilance, also joined the team building the city.
After a brief inspection, Qin Yang was extremely satisfied with Zhang Baiqi's work. That night he set up camp in the south of Cangwu City, preparing to go south to the sea.
As for the overseas fairy islands, Qin Yang actually has some guesses in his mind. If he analyzes it according to his own knowledge, this so-called fairy island should undoubtedly be Hainan Island. According to the map of Southern Wilderness provided by Meng Huo,
It can also be seen that from Cangwu to the overseas fairy islands, you only need to go south. There are barbarian garrison on the seaside of Leizhou. They are one of the ports prepared by the barbarians for the ships of the tribe to go to the fairy islands.
land.
Naturally, the Yellow Turban Army, who had lived in Hanzhong for a long time, had no experience at all when it came to going out to sea by boat. Even Gan Ning, who had been a pirate, had no clue. But what is certain is that sailing on the sea, no matter the wind, waves or dangers,
They all have to be much larger than the river. If the boat traveling on the river reaches the sea, I am afraid that it will be turned into powder in the wind and waves.
Regarding this point, Meng Huo once said that the barbarians are a race blessed by the beast god. Once the beast god cave is opened, as long as the barbarian flag is hoisted and goes to sea, the beast god will definitely bless the ships going out to sea to reach the fairy island safely. Regarding this point
, although Meng Huo slapped his chest loudly, Qin Yang had to treat it with caution. First, it remains to be discussed whether the so-called blessing of the beast god in Meng Huo's mouth is true. Second, even if it is
Really, if the "Beast God" discovers that the people who are going to the fairy island are not barbarians but people from the Central Plains, will he directly set off a wave and beat them to death in a rage? Therefore, the necessary preparations and arrangements before going to sea are still
Very necessary.
The mountains in southern Xinjiang are rolling, the roads are rugged, and the climate is extremely hot. So it took Qin Yang and his party a full half a month to reach the shore of Leizhou after setting off from Cangwu. When they saw the blue sky and vast sea
On the shore, after seeing the barbarian flag flying high on the wooden water village, everyone who was exhausted physically and mentally could not help but feel refreshed.
"Wow! What a beautiful place... Sisters, let's go and have a look." A heartfelt cheer sounded. Xiao Qiao seemed to have forgotten the hardships along the way, and looked excitedly at the vast sea several miles ahead.
Beside her, the other four women whose faces were covered with thin gauze also had beautiful eyes, and their excitement was palpable.
They are naturally Qin Yang's four beautiful wives and the "ubiquitous" little girl Zhen Mi. Although Qin Yang did not want the four of them to participate in this trip to the fairy island, under the "torture" of the four women
"Under the pressure, they had no choice but to give in. And since the four girls were all going, Zhen Mi was naturally indispensable. From Cangwu to the seaside, the hardships along the way, the five girls had long been a little depressed, and now they suddenly saw this vast sea and sky.
Immediately delighted by the beautiful scenery, he rode towards the seaside.
"Stop! Who dares to break into our southern wilderness forbidden area?!" Suddenly a loud shout sounded from the seaside water village. A moment later, dozens of shirtless barbarian soldiers with bronze skin rushed out from inside holding weapons.
Welcoming the five girls, it was obvious that they had already seen Qin Yang and others from a distance as soon as they appeared.
When the girls saw the barbarian army suddenly coming out, they were all slightly startled. However, Zhen Mi, who was running at the front, glanced at the man leading the other party and snorted softly: "Hey, big man, don't block it."
Dao! Does this beach belong to your family?"
As she spoke, she stopped her horse and rushed towards the seaside. The past few days of traveling through the mountains and forests had almost worn out her patience. In addition, she saw the sea for the first time and felt the cool sea breeze.
.She couldn't care about so much anymore. At this moment, she couldn't wait to plunge into the cool sea water to cool down.
The barbarian army was led by a tall young man who looked to be about twenty years old. Although he was extremely tall, he was not as majestic as Guan Hai or Meng Huo, but rather slender. In addition, his whole body
With his bronze skin and energetic face, he is undoubtedly one of the rare handsome men in southern Xinjiang.
"Presumptuous!" The man saw Zhen Mi galloping on his horse and actually wanted to break into the water village. He couldn't help but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the explosive muscles under his bronze skin suddenly bulged! At the same time, his body was like a fast and fierce animal.
He rushed towards Zhen Mi as quickly as a cheetah.
"Ah!" Zhen Mi didn't expect this man to be so fast. He appeared in front of her horse in the blink of an eye. Although she was willful, she also knew that the Yellow Turban Army and the barbarians had always been on good terms. If she accidentally injured the other party, she would be afraid.
It would cause a lot of trouble. But at this time, the horse's speed was already extremely fast, and it was already too late for Zhen Mi to rein in the horse.
"Hiss——!" A long and shrill hiss sounded. Just before Zhen Mi could finish her exclamation, she saw this slender man reaching out and quickly grabbing the reins of Zhen Mi's horse.
"Stop!" After a loud shout, the long neigh of the war horse suddenly stopped. Everyone was shocked to see that with a vigorous wave of the slender man's arm, the war horse Zhen Mi was riding was actually
He fell down onto the gravel ground!
"Ulula——!" Dozens of sturdy barbarian soldiers behind the man shouted in unison. But everyone on the Yellow Turban Army took a breath of air.
Almost all the Yellow Turban generals present were able to overturn a galloping war horse by themselves. But what surprised them was that this slender barbarian man did not use any fighting spirit at all! You know, just by relying on
There are only a few among the Yellow Turban Army who want to do this with their physical strength. It is obvious that this young man responsible for guarding the coastal water village is definitely a barbarian warrior who is not inferior to the little barbarian king Meng You.
"A big man bullies others because of his strength? This girl is not done with you!" At this moment, a shout interrupted everyone's thoughts. Although Zhen Mi was not directly pressed by the fallen horse just now,
However, he staggered and landed not far away in a very embarrassed state. At this moment, he was even more frightened and angry, pointing at the man with his arms crossed and shouting angrily.
The man frowned and looked at Zhen Mi. There was an impatient look on his face and he said: "This is not the place where you people from the Central Plains should come. Leave as soon as possible before I change my mind. Otherwise, we don't mind leaving
You sacrifice your lives to the beast god."
The man's voice was very cold, and his eyes swept across Zhen Mi's face, as if he didn't even notice the beautiful face of the woman who was drinking coquettishly at him, and there was even a trace of disgust in his indifference.
"It's broken..." Zhang Ning and the other four women, who had already stopped their mounts, couldn't help but look at each other after seeing this situation, and at the same time they all sighed in their hearts.
"You...okay! How dare you despise me! I will fight with you!" Suddenly, Zhen Mi, who was standing there in a daze, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and let out a scream that almost shattered her eardrums. Just like the four
As a girl thinks, Zhen Mi is good at everything, but she can’t tolerate others’ contempt. Especially when there is a trace of disgust in this contempt!
"The Talisman of Life, Purify the Holy Light!" There was a shout, and Zhen Misu, who had already started to run rampant, waved her hand, and a talisman with a dazzling white light suddenly rose up. After stagnating in the air for a moment, it suddenly turned into a stream of light.
Shoot at that tall man!
As a healer, although Zhen Mi is a spell master, she has almost no offensive spell skills. This "Purifying Holy Light" is her strongest attack method. Almost everyone will have more or less spells in their heart.
The dark place, and this purifying holy light can use this dark place as a guide to carry out powerful attacks on the opponent!
Seeing that Zhen Mi had cast the Purifying Holy Light Talisman from the very beginning, even Qin Yang, who was rushing from behind, couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. He was secretly worried about the young man. It was too late to stop him, so he could only pray to Zhen Mi.
Mi should not be too harsh.
"Boom!" The dazzling light instantly hit the man's body, and the sacred light suddenly enveloped the man's body. At this time, a proud smile appeared on Zhen Mi's face. In her impression
Among them, except for her master, the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo, there was no other person who could escape unharmed after being hit by the holy light.
However, at the next moment, Zhen Mi's smile froze on her pretty face. Because she could hardly believe it, she saw the slender man enveloped in her purifying holy light as if nothing had happened.
, gently reached out and patted the area on his body that had just been hit, then raised his head and glanced at Zhen Mi coldly.
"I threw you once just now, and now we are even. Can you leave?" The man's voice was calm, without any waves.
"How is that possible?!" Zhen Mi looked at the man opposite her in a daze, her pretty face full of disbelief and horror. Even the most powerful fighter will feel very uncomfortable after being hit by the purifying holy light. But
Why didn’t this man react at all?!
No! It must be that I didn't put enough energy into the spell just now! Zhen Mi subconsciously raised her hand again, and the light flickered. Another life spell continued to condense in her hand.
"Sister Zhen Mi, don't do it!" Zhang Ning and the other four girls couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw that Zhen Mi would continue to strike after the first blow failed. It wasn't that they were worried that the man would be injured by Zhen Mi, they were just afraid that Zhen Mi
If Mi made that man angry, it might be detrimental to Zhen Mi.
However, Zhen Mi was also extremely angry, and she condensed the talisman extremely quickly. In just the blink of an eye, the talisman had been condensed, and in the next moment, with a wave of her palm, the talisman shimmering with holy light had turned into
A stream of light rushed towards the man whose face was gradually turning cold!
"Little girl, stop!" With a loud shout, scorching flames instantly ignited between Zhen Mi and the barbarian man. With a "Boom!", Zhen Mi's spell hit the sudden fireball.
.At this moment, Qin Yang's figure has also appeared behind the dissipating fireballs.
Damn it! This little girl is very aggressive... Qin Yang, who was hastily invaded by a trace of purifying holy light, shuddered in his heart and secretly cursed. At the same time, Zhang Ning, Cai Yan and Er Qiao sisters also
He came to Zhen Mi's side and pulled Zhen Mi back.
"Ahem... Hello. I'm Qin Yang of the Yellow Turban Army. I wonder if the general is the Great Barbarian King who brought the cave master Zhu Chi?" Qin Yang coughed lightly, then turned to the young barbarian man and said.
"Are you really Qin Yang?" The man was obviously stunned after hearing Qin Yang's words, and asked in surprise.
Seeing the man's expression, Qin Yang already knew that he had guessed correctly. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Haha, General Zhu Chi was joking. Qin Yang is here, and it's true. This time we were attacked by the Barbarian King.
Meng Huo's invitation to go to the Immortal Island Beast God Cave is a token of your sister, Mrs. Zhu Rong."
As he said that, Qin Yang reached out and took out a red wooden sign carved in the shape of a flame and handed it to Zhu Chi. As he said, Zhu Chi was Mrs. Zhu Rong's biological brother. The barbarians worshiped flames the most, and Mrs. Zhu Rong's name was her.
It means "God of Fire". As for Zhu Chi, Qin Yang also knew a little bit about it. Another meaning of his name is "Emperor of the South China Sea".
Zhu Chi knotted the token in Qin Yang's hand, and then believed Qin Yang's words. But after a moment, he frowned and looked at the five women behind Qin Yang, and said lightly: "Zhu Chi meets His Royal Highness the Yellow Turban Ming King.
,...I just don’t understand, what are these women doing here? Are they also going to the Fairy Island?"
Although Zhu Chi's attitude towards Qin Yang was respectful, when he mentioned the five women, his words were full of habitual contempt. But he did not expect that this time he would stoke a hornet's nest.
"Hey! What do you mean?! Do you look down on women?" Xiao Qiao, who was still trying to persuade Zhen Mi, suddenly became angry and pointed at Zhu Chi without fear and shouted.
"Sister Xiao Qiao, stop talking nonsense with him and help me deal with this stinky man!" Zhen Mi, who had just been persuaded, suddenly became energetic again and was eager to follow Xiao Qiao and echoed.
The "eldest sister" among the five, Zhang Ning, who had naturally regained her fiery temper, took the lead and pulled Qin Yang aside, stared at Zhu Chihan and said in a voice: "General Zhu Chi?
What? Can’t women go to the Fairy Island? Isn’t your sister, Mrs. Zhu Rong, not a woman? Today we sisters would like to ask for an explanation from the general."
Zhu Chi frowned, as if he was not aware of his current situation, and said in his usual indifferent tone: "How can you women from the Central Plains compare with my sister Zhu Rong? Going to the fairy island to conquer alien beasts is our men's business, and it is dangerous.
Extremely, we don’t have time to take care of you.”
"Oh? So the cave master thinks he is much stronger than us weak women from the Central Plains..." After hearing Zhu Chi's words, Cai Yan, who had been calm just now, snorted angrily.
Said. Even though Cai Yan looks gentle as water on the surface, he is not as strong as a man in his bones. Otherwise, I don't think she would have been as fierce as a female Rakshasa in the imperial capital, bathing in blood on the battlefield.
At this moment, the Yellow Turban generals had already stayed away. It was not that they turned a blind eye. But except for Zhen Mi, all of these women were the wives of His Highness Prince Ming. How could they interfere? They could only watch from the sidelines without saying a word.
, waiting for Qin Yang’s decision.
At this moment, Qin Yang was very helpless and walked to Da Qiao, the only one among the ladies who had not spoken, and whispered: "Da Qiao, please advise them. I think this Zhu Chi is also a straightforward person who speaks without meaning. There is nothing wrong with him.
malicious……"
"Don't worry, husband..." Da Qiao nodded lightly. Just when Qin Yang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Da Qiao's next words almost made him jump up.
"Although it is a heinous crime for him to openly despise women, for the sake of the overall situation, we sisters will not take his life..." As he spoke, Da Qiao slowly pulled out his waist under Qin Yang's surprised gaze.
He held his long sword and walked towards Zhu Chi.
