Chapter 170 Demon Shadow (1)

Along the way, the people heard that this army was going to support Yindu to fight the enemy. The soldiers received a lot of rewards, and even a lot of food was provided by the people for free.

After a marching journey, a team of 30,000 people finally arrived at Huangjiang City. This city traveled a hundred miles northeastward and was a vast and rushing river. The river water was turbid and the water was yellow all year round, so it was called Huangjiang.

The river is not wide, only about seventy or eighty feet long, but the stone walls on both sides are steep and the water flows below are turbulent, and the boat is hard to pass. There is only one iron cable bridge that can be accessed within a radius of thousands of miles.

"Report——" A military report came in a hurry, and Ma Lian, who was gnawing on the lamb leg in the tent, shook his body without caring about the grease on his face. He opened his mouth and cursed: "Which guy dares to disturb me at this time? Get in quickly!"

Hearing the voice inside, the thin scout who was half kneeling outside the tent hurried in, as if he knew the General Ma in front of him was full of anger, but the road ahead had to report it. As soon as the scout knelt down, he said anxiously: "Report to General, the iron chain bridge above the Huangjiang River ahead has somehow broken and cannot pass!"

"If you can't pass, just take a detour. I don't believe that there is no second place to pass on the Huangjiang River!" Ma Lian wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said slowly.

Hearing this, Xu Guang frowned and said, "General, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time!"

"Person Xu, what good way do you have?" This time, Ma Taishou had already informed Ma Lian that Xu Guang was resourceful and from the Zhongguo Army, which was very useful! He would listen to this person's advice in marching and fighting. So now Ma Lian is much more polite to Xu Guang.

Xu Guang spread a hand-painted map, spread it in his hand, and pointed one of the places with cinnabar dotted red to Ma Lian: "General, please see, this is the Huangjiang iron cable bridge. Now this bridge is not accessible, and the Huangjiang River stretches for thousands of miles and goes straight into the East China Sea. The cable bridge is broken, so he can only travel more than 960 miles westward and cross the river at the Fuhu City. If you walk like this, you will delay the trip for six days! Yindu is in danger and is in a hurry. When you come here, you may be detained for a serious crime of delaying the army!"

When he heard that he might have been put on such a big hat, Ma Lian suddenly stood up and looked at Xu Guang and said anxiously: "This... Captain Xu, what should I do?"

Xu Guang frowned and thoughtful, his eyes moved from the right side of the map to the left, crossed the broken iron chain bridge, and landed on the Xuyuan Mountains, the source of the Huangjiang River.

"There is a way to finally be done. I don't know if it is feasible? I hope the general will make it clear."

After a while, Xu Guang's voice finally came to Ma Lian's ears. He was happy and said anxiously: "Person Xu, but it's okay!"

"This Huangjiang River originates from Xuyuan Mountain. The source of all rivers is like a small river. We might as well enter this mountain and cross the Huangjiang River from the source! However... there are countless wild beasts and insects in Xuyuan Mountain, and they are full of dangers. I am afraid that if I encounter any monsters and beasts..."

Before Xu Guang could finish his words, Ma Lian waved his fat hand to stop his words: "What's so scary? I have 30,000 elite soldiers under my command, so what monsters are they afraid of? Even if I encounter monsters, it's better than being demoted and beheaded for delaying the military's request!"

……………………

Ling Duanshang was wearing light armor and walked quickly in the team, but he was following Ma Lian and Xu Guang, with 30,000 people in the army. Now the marching was four people in a row, and the team that stretched for more than 400 feet was marching upwards in the Xuyuan Mountain.

After entering Xuyuan Mountain, Ling Duanshang was arranged by Ma Lian in the middle of the team, along with Xu Guang's protection beside him.

Such a large number of troops had been in a hurry for a day. Apart from encountering some ordinary ferocious beasts on the road and making rations for the soldiers, they had not encountered any danger. After all, this team of people was extremely large, and the casual ferocious beasts had to consider it.

However, Ling Duanshang was nervous all the way. Somehow, he kept hearing that the team seemed to be monitored by something. This feeling appeared and disappeared from time to time. He was sure that this was not an illusion, it must be something hidden not far away. Ling Duanshang was so energetic that he was careful of the dangers that might appear quietly around him.

Fortunately, the trees on the Huang River were not too lush. I walked for two days and one night and finally arrived near the source of the Huang River in the evening. The water flow here has dropped greatly. Along the way is a huge lake. Under the sunset, the rippling waves in the lake can be seen from a distance.

"There should be several other sources in the Huangjiang River, otherwise the downstream water would not be so turbulent!" Xu Guang looked away from a distance.

"It seems that this trip is a blessing, and I have not encountered any monsters and monsters!" Ma Liangao rode his horse, and his eyes were filled with joy. For a moment, his spirit and wind seemed to be as beautiful as the heavens. God blessed him. He glanced at the long-term team and said with a long smile: "I see that you have been tired of traveling for a few days. It happened that the place was flat and the fish and water were beautiful in front of me. I will set up a camp here tonight to rest for a night!"

"General, never!" Xu Guang's expression changed slightly, and he said in a hurry, "Xuyuan Mountain is full of dangers. I thought I would go all night long to get out of the mountain as soon as possible! Staying this night will add a night of danger!"

"I know the danger here in Xuyuan Mountain, but you can see it when you come here for two days. The 30,000 team is so powerful that no mountain spirit dares to come forward to capture tiger beards? These soldiers are almost all new soldiers, and they are already exhausted after several days of travel. If they don't rest, they will be exhausted!" Ma Lian smiled faintly, disregarded at all. He waved his hand and asked the messenger to send orders. The entire army surrounded the round and set up camp here!

The wind here is light and the clouds are light, the green water moistens the eyes. A fiery red sunset sets off the quiet scenery and is picturesque and poem-like. It is really beautiful.

These new recruits had already been marching for days and were already filled with grief. They could hear that they could rest in such a beautiful place for a night. They immediately gathered their strength to set up camp and set up a tent, cook fire, which was very lively!

Ling Duanshang didn't say anything about Ma Lian's actions. After all, with his current official position, he would be silly and not as simple as saying anything.

Since the evening arrived at the lakeside, the feeling of vagueness has disappeared. Although Ling Duanshang has not let go of his vigilance, he has lacked this feeling of oppression and has relaxed a lot in his spirit.

However, Ling Duanshang's tent was still arranged to be located next to Ma Lian, and he protected him from the left and right side of the army.

The sky gradually darkened, and the moonlight began to rise, and the sings of insects began to ring around. Circles of bonfires were lit in the team, and the bright fire made ordinary beasts dare not approach. The soldiers fell asleep early after dinner, leaving only a hundred people lazily patrolling the police around.

Ling Duanshang's eyes closed slightly, as if calm, but the cyclone in the dantian was rotating wildly, absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth around him, and gradually gathering a faint light spot around his body. Although he was strange why he could not detect the vital energy of heaven and earth around him, Ling Duanshang found that the vital energy of heaven and earth here was extremely strong from the speed of the cyclone absorption. He meditated for a stick of incense to last half of the night, and felt the slow growth of the cyclone, and Ling Duanshang absorbed these vital energy of heaven and earth without falling.

"Crash..." A sound of water splashing sounded in his ears. Ling Duanshang opened his eyes suddenly, frowned, and hurried out of the tent and followed the sound.
