Liao Wenqing was about to arrange scouts when he suddenly looked at Ye Mingfei and Ruyan and said, "General, why don't you let the two girls go with the scouts, so as not to be delayed by the team?"

"Hey, no need!" Ye Mingfei said immediately, "The scouts report the news, don't delay. We are not in a hurry, just go with the brigade."

Ru Yan smiled and said: "If possible, please send a message to Mr. Zeng from the scout, and say that Di Ruyan and Ye Mingfei are here."

"Go!" Fang Zhe urged.

Liao Wenqing had no choice but to arrange for the scouts to report first. After the scouts left, Liao Wenqing went to check the rear army.

This Zuolongwuwei is called the Iron Armored Army because the soldiers are all healthy and well-equipped.But these equipments are very cumbersome to travel in the desert, and with the millions of silver escorted, they cannot travel very fast.After noon, the sun was very strong, the armored army was already tired, and the consumption of water increased.

"General, what is that?" Suddenly a cavalryman pointed forward and shouted.

The strong wind in the distance tore the earth and stirred up the wind and sand. Originally, the sun was shining brightly, but the next moment, I saw yellow sand flying all over the sky.The strong wind and yellow sand swept towards the army like a tornado.

"Sandstorm, the general is a black sandstorm!" The soldier said in horror.

Fang Zhe jumped off his horse and shouted: "All troops dismount, take shelter from the wind and sand! All troops dismount..."

However, the wind and sand came to the front in an instant, people shouted and neighed, and the army was already in chaos.A horse ran away, and Fang Zhe's shout was swallowed by the wind and sand.

At this time, suddenly there was a delicate voice staring at the wind and sending it from a distance: "The general ordered that all the troops dismount and take shelter from the wind and sand!"

Fang Zhe heard the sound and looked for the sound, but saw Ye Mingfei had already got off the camel.Soothe the camel to kneel down, hide behind the hump, and transmit his words far away.

Fang Zhe saw that she was in a small group, and her voice could be transmitted so far with a single cry, and she was so unruffled at such a young age, he was in admiration.He had heard many legends about Mr. Di Guo, but he didn't expect that the god-granddaughter that Mr. Ge took in was also quite handsome.

Ye Mingfei yelled a few times for help, the wind and sand were so big that she had to crawl behind the camel to avoid being blown into the sky.I don't know how long it took, and I felt that I had been buried in the sand, and the wind and sand slowly stopped.

"Bah, bah, bah~ Why is there a sandstorm? Could it be that brother Ah Chen is nearby?"

Lu Chen: ...It's not my fault this time!

"What does the sandstorm in the desert have to do with Mr. Lu?"

"Because brother Ah Chen has a wind and sand attribute!" Ye Mingfei jumped up and slapped the yellow sand off his body.

The Iron Armored Army climbed out of the sand one after another. Fang Zhe ordered Liao Wenqing to reorganize the army and count the casualties.Thankfully, all but a few people were blown into the air and injured in this terrible sandstorm, and only a few mounts were scared away.

Fang Zhe looked into the distance, but his face was a little dignified, because the official road signs were gone.As we all know, the most terrifying thing when crossing the Ganliang Desert is the black sandstorm, and what is even more terrifying than the black sandstorm is that the position of the sand dunes will change after the sandstorm, and the official road will "disappear" accordingly.

After dark, the temperature in the desert drops sharply, and the iron armor of the armored army will be as cold as ice.If you can't get out of the desert before dark, you will be in big trouble.

"General, there is only half of the water left!" Liao Wenqing reported solemnly.

"How could this be?"

"The water tanks and water bags are on the horses and horses. After the sandstorm, the buckets were broken, and many camels and horses carrying water escaped." Liao Wenqing explained, "Now that the official road has disappeared, there is not enough water. , Once lost in the desert, the army will be very dangerous."

"General Fang, you are not sure about the direction. The army should not move rashly. Since there is half of the water, the army might as well rest and treat the wounded on the spot. In time, the scouts should have avoided the black sandstorm. Master Zeng knows that the army will definitely send someone to remark in the desert. Go out of the official way." Ye Mingfei said, "You give me a few more people to go to explore the way, and we will be sure that nothing will go wrong."

"Now that the terrain has changed, how do you find out the direction in the desert?" Fang Zhe wondered.

"I'm fairly familiar with the Ganliang Desert, and I've brought a compass with me, so it's okay."

"Aren't you from the south? How can you be familiar with the Ganliang Desert? Besides, how can I send you a child to explore the way?"

"General Fang doesn't know something. Before entering Di's mansion, Xiaofei rescued the Turkic Shibi Khan who was sent to Dazhou in the Ganliang Desert." Ruyan explained, "In order to get rid of the snake spirit killer, she brought Shibi Khan stayed away from the official road, but he returned to the capital smoothly via Youzhou."

Fang Zhe was a little surprised when he heard the words. He had also heard of Di Ge's great achievements in breaking the Turkic mission case in Zuolongwuwei, so he expected that Ruyan would not lie about such things.As a native of Liangzhou, Fang Zhe used the official route every time he went to the desert, and he didn't dare to enter alone.Ye Mingfei was able to escape the killer alone in the desert at a young age, which shows that he is really familiar with the desert.

Fang Zhe thought for a while and said: "I will lead the team to rest in place. Wen Qing is more familiar with Ganliang Desert than I am. Let him lead 50 people to explore the way with you."

Liao Wenqing took the lead and ordered fifty cavalry pawns and Ye Mingfei to explore the way.However, halfway there, the two had an argument and chose different directions.Ye Mingfei couldn't explain why she chose that direction, and the fifty soldiers listened to Lieutenant General Liao Wenqing.Ye Mingfei was worried that these soldiers would get lost in the desert, so she had to accompany them.

In Liangzhou City, Zeng Tai, the governor of Liangzhou, took the officials and servants of the whole family to transfer the people since he received the news that there would be a major earthquake in Liangzhou.Zeng Tai and his officials had not closed their eyes all day and night, seeing that the people had moved to a safe place, they dared to stop and take a breath.

"God wants to show his power, but we parents and officials are too busy!" Zeng Tai said, beating his waist.

Chang Shi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is so diligent, he is a role model for us."

Zeng Tai was the number one scholar in high school when he was young, but he was a county magistrate for ten years. Once he went astray and fell into the trap of the inner guard, he was almost doomed.Later, when I met Di Renjie, seeing that he still had some love for the people, I gave him a hand.Fortunately, Zeng Tai never failed to live up to Di Renjie's expectations, and since then he has always taken it as his duty to inherit the teacher's will.

Di Renjie loved the people like a son, and Zeng Tai did not dare to slacken the slightest slack on the people. Because of this, he was recommended by Di Renjie all the way to the top. In just a few years, he completed the leap-forward promotion from the county magistrate to the frontier official.

"It should be, if the people are safe when the earthquake occurs, then you and I can sleep well."

"Master Zeng, a letter from Hexi Station." While speaking, a small official delivered a letter.

Zeng Tai was very happy when he read the letter.

Chang Shi asked with a smile, "Why is your lord so happy?"

"My benefactor Di Guolao got His Majesty's permission to go back to his hometown Bingzhou to recuperate, so he made a detour to visit me in Liangzhou."

"It turns out that my lord is a student of Elder Di Ge. Elder Ge is a good minister in the world, who loves the people like a son. When Elder Ge comes, my lord will introduce you to the younger minister!" Chang Shi laughed.

Chang Shi thought in his heart: Di Renjie is famous all over the world, not to mention other things, even Zhang Jianzhi, another elder in the court, was also recommended by Di Renjie at the beginning.Zeng Tai was born as the No. [-] scholar and a student of Di Renjie. No wonder he was able to become the governor of Liangzhou.

The two were chatting vigorously, and someone came to report that Zuo Longwuwei, who was escorting the payment, had sent scouts.Zeng Tai hurriedly met the scouts, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard that the salary had entered the Ganliang Desert.

There will be a big earthquake in Liangzhou, and the cabinet documents have been delivered to him yesterday.It stands to reason that the Pavilion Department will also catch up with Zuo Longwuwei and let them wait to cross the desert.But according to Zuo Longwuwei's itinerary, he didn't know anything about the earthquake.

Just as Zeng Tai was thinking about this question, he felt his ground shake for a while.

"My lord, the center of the earthquake is in the desert. Such an earthquake will inevitably trigger a black sandstorm. If the army goes to the center of the desert, they may encounter it." Chang Shi's face was serious.

Hearing this, the scout was very anxious, and hurriedly said: "Master Zeng, what should we do?"

It was too late to say anything at this moment, Zeng Tai silently recited Di Renjie's teaching in his heart: the more nervous you are, the less you can panic.

"Not too late, General Fang Zhe will definitely avoid the wind and sand on the spot. When the earthquake stops, I will send people into the desert to re-mark the official road and welcome the army out."

Having said that, seeing the power of the world, no one can really feel at ease.Just now they tried to persuade the people to leave, their residences have collapsed under the earthquake, but this is because the earthquake center was not in Liangzhou city.

"Master Zeng, there is one more matter just now, and I forgot to report it at the end." The scout suddenly said after the earthquake had subsided.

"What's the matter?"

"Not long after the army entered the desert, they met the niece and granddaughter of the two who claimed to be old Di Ge, and they are now with General Fang and the army."

"My lord, is it possible that old Dige is also in the desert?" Chang Shi asked nervously.

"There was only one young woman and a half-old child, and no one else was seen," the scout explained.

"Are women in their twenties, wearing red clothes, children wearing yellow clothes, and wearing two swords?" Zeng Tai asked hurriedly.

"exactly!"

"It is indeed the teacher's niece and granddaughter. If they go with the army, I can rest assured." Zeng Tai explained to Chang Shi, "The teacher's granddaughter is called Ye Mingfei, and she was recognized by His Majesty. A few years ago , She once rescued the Turkic Shibi Khan from the Snake Spirit Organization in the Ganliang Desert, and was named the Moon Princess by the Turks."

Although Zeng Tai didn't know why Ye Mingfei and Ruyan didn't go with Di Renjie, but he had seen Ye Mingfei and Ruyan's abilities, so he was more at ease.

"Princess Moon, I also heard about it." Chang Shi was in the officialdom, and he was much more informed than Fang Zhe.

Seeing that the earthquake had stopped, Zeng Tai asked Chang Shi to stay to count the losses and appease the people, and went to deploy his own people into the desert to meet the army.

Here, Ye Mingfei followed Liao Wenqing and fifty soldiers to a valley. Ye Mingfei said: "I have seen this valley on the map of the desert, and I went off the road. Judging from the location of the valley, the direction I pointed just now is the right direction." Yes."

Before Liao Wenqing could answer, someone suddenly shouted: "God in black!"

"The god in black, is it really the god in black?"

"I heard that the god in black often kills business travelers in the desert."

"Yes, I've heard of it too."

Ye Mingfei also saw the group of people wearing masks and strange black clothes, and said in a deep voice, "What are the black-clothed gods?"
