King Lingyu

Chapter 74

No one expected that the first person to die from lack of water would be Hong'er, the eldest princess' maid.It is said that she saw the forehead accompanying the eldest princess in the car, so she got out of the car wisely and rode on Sima Lingyu's camel.Although she has martial arts, she has hardly had any rest along the way. She has been taking care of the eldest princess and gave her all her water. Under the sun, she began to feel a little dizzy. She thought it would be enough to bear with it, but in the end she fell on the hunchback.

After a while, someone noticed that Hong'er seemed to have passed out, and by the time everyone realized that she was in danger, she had already died for a long time!

When the eldest princess heard the news, her face turned pale with shock. Hong'er had only been out for a long time, why did she disappear?The eldest princess was very sad, and Sima Lingyu persuaded her for a long time before she finally calmed down.

Hong'er's death cast a layer of extreme uneasiness on the whole team.

Although Sima Lingyu expected that some people would die due to lack of water, she didn't expect the situation to be so severe. She thought that there were still two days left, and she would pass it if she persisted.However, when you walk here, you will often find human skeletons in the sand, and you will see two or three weathered corpses almost every half mile.

This caused the spirits of the remaining soldiers to completely collapse.Although they used to be the best well-trained soldiers, but faced with such a desperate situation, they only have the instinct to survive.Some people don't have a drop of water in their water bladders, they are thirsty and crazy, they start to look at those who still have water, and even gradually they start to grab other people's water bladders, what's more Having rushed to the last bucket of water, they stabbed to death the soldier guarding the water, who was also their comrade-in-arms who had been through life and death.At this moment, they just want to drink water! !

Seeing that his subordinates were in such a mess, Li Ming shouted to stop him anxiously, but how could anyone listen to him at this moment!

Sima Lingyu was startled by the shouting, and when she came out, she saw that there was already a mess outside, and she could tell at a glance that if the commotion continued, the bucket of water would not be able to keep.She yelled, "Stop it all! Otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

Sima Lingyu's warning only deterred a small number of people who were still sane, and some people were still rushing. They had already lifted the lid of the bucket and were desperately pouring water into their mouths with their hands.

Seeing this, Sima Lingyu didn't hesitate any longer, drew his sword and jumped over, the sword raised and fell, and those who drank the water fell down one by one before they could make a happy sound of satisfaction.In an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

Li Ming was stunned by the scene in front of him, he didn't expect that the prince would really kill his own people, but after thinking about it, he admired Sima Lingyu very much, such a situation can't be stopped!Otherwise, the soldiers would fight each other, and in the end it would be the end of the entire army's destruction.

Sima Lingyu looked at the little water and the few people left, and told Li Ming, "General Li, give half of the remaining water to the remaining soldiers. Each of them will have a water bag, and the other half will be used as a water bag." For cooking, take care of them so that they don’t cause any more trouble, save some energy, I can only cook another meal tonight, and I can only eat it when I get out of the desert tomorrow night!”

After speaking, Sima Lingyu returned to the car.

Li Ming once again paid respect to Sima Lingyu's courageous heart, no wonder the Prime Minister reminded him to protect the prince, it seems that the prince is really not an ordinary person!

According to Sima Lingyu's instructions, Li Ming gave each two people a water bag, except for cooking water, there was still some leftover, so he filled another bag full and sent it to Sima Lingyu.

"My lord, there is still some extra, let's save it for the eldest princess!" Li Ming heard that the eldest princess fainted once, and the lord has already left all his water for the eldest princess. In such a desperate situation, the lord can still marry the eldest princess. Deep love is even more rare.

Sima Lingyu took the water bag and handed it to the eldest princess. She told Li Ming, "In order to avoid what happened just now, let Ah Yue take care of the water. His kung fu is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

Li Ming agreed, thinking that that little follower is actually so powerful? !I really can't see it!Along the way, there were simply too many unexpected things happened about the prince.He originally thought that the prince was just a pampered son of the royal family. If there is something special, the prince's appearance is so handsome that no one can match it. This also corresponds to what he has heard, that the prince has a lot of lustful affairs.What he didn't expect was that the prince is not only strong in martial arts, but also has great leadership skills, and has deep affection for the eldest princess, which is completely different from the rumors.

After such an arrangement, in the evening of the second day, although he hadn't walked out of the desert, he could already see the village in the distance.This made everyone very excited, which proved that they had finally walked out of the Nantige Desert known as the "Journey of Death"!

The temperature plummets as we step out of the desert a little bit.

Sima Lingyu did not expect that the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the desert would be so large.In the desert, it is so hot that people want to take off all their clothes, but now that they are out of the desert, it is so cold that their teeth chatter.

Walking to the edge of the village, the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow.The soldiers cheered, they no longer cared about whether it was cold or not, it was snow, this was water, they knelt on the ground one by one, holding snow in their hands and stuffing it into their mouths.

Sima Lingyu asked Li Ming, "General Li, how many people do we have?"

Li Ming looked around for a week, "There are only 30 soldiers left!"

Sima Lingyu thought for a while, "Don't set up camp outside the village tonight, go directly to the village, find a few more inns, let the soldiers eat, drink, and rest, and leave the day after tomorrow depending on the situation! Tomorrow is mainly for rest and recovery. Resupply food, grass and equipment, sell these camels, and exchange some horses, now we have few people, everyone rides horses, and all equipment is put in carriages."

It is said that Sima Lingyu's men and horses were all stationed in this small village before midnight.We divided into three inns, and all settled down.

When they arrived at the inn, everyone who was hungry looked at the table full of food and was about to eat. Sima Lingyu said, "Even though you are very hungry, you'd better eat only [-]% full for the first meal, otherwise the stomach that has been short of water and food will be exhausted." Unbearable due to sudden fullness!"

The eldest princess looked at Sima Lingyu with joy and a little pride, how could her son-in-law know so much!

After eating, taking a bath and changing clothes, I can finally have a good night's sleep.

Both Sima Lingyu and the eldest princess slept very well tonight, especially knowing that they would not have to hurry tomorrow, so they slept more peacefully.

On the second day, Sima Lingyu thought that the temperature was very low and they were all wearing single clothes, so she suggested to the eldest princess to go to the village market to find a tailor's shop to make some thicker clothes.

After so many days of worrying, the eldest princess is naturally very happy to be able to go shopping in the market with her son-in-law!

So, after breakfast, Sima Lingyu and the eldest princess went to the market without any entourage.In fact, the so-called market is just the most lively street in this small village.

This street sells everything, people come and go, it is really lively.

Sima Lingyu saw a tailor's shop, so he took the eldest princess in.

The shop owner saw at a glance that the visitor was not a local, but had an extraordinary demeanor. He knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he immediately came over to say hello.

Sima Lingyu asked him to bring out the best fabrics for the eldest princess to choose.

The boss saw the distinguished guest, and quickly took out all the good materials. The eldest princess didn't like it either.She glanced at Sima Lingyu, and the latter gave her a wink, meaning that this is the only way to do it now, just pick something!

The eldest princess had no choice but to choose two kinds, and handed them to the boss, and a tailor with a tape measure came over to measure the eldest princess.

"How long will it take to finish?" Sima Lingyu asked.

"However, it will take two days!" The boss thought for a while, "What you have to do is thick clothes."

"We are in a hurry, can we hurry up?" Two days is not enough.

"Hurry up? I want more money!" The boss saw that Sima Lingyu was rich, so he was not polite.

Sima Lingyu took out a silver ingot, which might buy half of his shop.

"Money is not a problem, do it immediately, let's go elsewhere first, and come to pick it up after lunch!"

"In such a hurry?" The boss was a little aggressive and wanted to raise the price further.

Sima Lingyu didn't speak, but frowned, just looked at the boss.

The boss received the dangerous information from Sima Lingyu's eyes, and quickly changed his words, "Then you go and transfer first, and I will order someone to do it immediately!"

Sima Lingyu then left the tailor shop with the eldest princess.

"Su Ying, let's go around and see what else we need!"

"Okay!" The eldest princess held Sima Lingyu's arm and walked comfortably in the market.

After they walked for a while, they found that many people were watching them, and some followed them, talking while walking.

"Hey, where did they come from? Why have you never seen them before?" For people living in this small village, they rarely see outsiders, so they feel very fresh.

"Yeah, I haven't seen it before. Look at that man, he is so handsome. How can there be such a good-looking person in the world!"

Sima Lingyu and the eldest princess felt uncomfortable being watched. They walked forward quickly.Suddenly, they found a group of people surrounded for some reason, and the two of them hurried into the crowd, trying to hide.

This idea is very good, as expected no one pays attention to them, everyone is watching the bustle inside.Sima Lingyu also glanced subconsciously.

I really didn't know it, but I was startled when I saw it. It turned out that there was a woman in the crowd, she looked young, but she was pretty, and she was surrounded by several men.

"Where are you going?" A bald man with a sultry face said aggressively, "Pay off your father's debt, haven't you heard of it?"

"Before your father died, he owed our bank 100 taels of silver. You are his only daughter. We don't care who you want the money?" ,go home with me."

The woman was already crying and fell to the ground, "Master, I beg you, give me a few more days, and I will definitely get the money."

"Graceful fart, how many days? Where are you going to raise 100 taels?" The bald man said, and began to forcibly pull the woman on the ground, "Go home with me, and it will be free!"

This bald man looked lustful, and Sima Lingyu could tell at a glance that he didn't want the woman to pay back the money at all, and he didn't believe that she could raise the money. He just wanted to occupy her girl.

Sima Lingyu dragged the eldest princess to the front row and cursed, "Shameless!"

The bald man heard the words and slowly turned around.
