Chapter 1: The army is missing

In the early morning, the clouds do not look very bright in the rays of the rising sun, but they wrap around each other, forming a beautiful scene. Looking from a distance, the villages are dotted with stars, and the rest is filled with the vast yellow sand of the Gobi!

The sky is gradually getting brighter. On the vast Gobi desert, an army of tens of thousands is marching mightily. A red flag of the Zhou Dynasty is fluttering in the wind, protected by two flying tiger and flying leopard flags! Behind the three big flags

, a large flag embroidered with the word 'Liu' also looks particularly eye-catching!

It is not difficult to see from the armor on the soldiers that they have just experienced a cruel war! Although the soldiers have chapped lips and look exhausted, the tired faces on their faces cannot hide the joy of returning home in triumph. Joining the army must not escape the bloody battlefield.

For them, being able to win and return to court means surviving a disaster!

This army is the Flying Tiger and Flying Leopard armies led by General Liu Maoyuan of Youjin Wuwei. Not long ago, Liu Maoyuan was appointed by Emperor Wu Zetian of the Great Zhou Dynasty to go to Qibei to wipe out the Turkic rebels who had repeatedly invaded the border. It has been more than two months since the army set off.

, in the past two months, good news has repeatedly reached the capital, and everyone in the court was rejoicing!

The news of the triumphant return of the counter-rebellion army has long been transmitted back to the capital city, and the emperor ordered the counties and counties along the way to be prepared to welcome it! Shuozhou naturally attaches great importance to it as the first stop to welcome it!

The officials of Shuozhou, led by Feng Zhijing, the governor of Shuozhou, greeted them at the city gate early. At this moment, the colorful flags of Shuozhou were flying. The governor Feng Zhijing climbed up to the tower of Shuozhou, looking at the vast desert from a distance, anxiously waiting for the great Zhou Dynasty.

That red flag!

The common people were waiting eagerly at the city gate, preparing to welcome the returning army in triumph! They, a group of common people living in the border area, have been harassed by Turks in the past few months, and the border people have suffered terribly! General Liu's army is heading for

After the border crossing, the people at the border did not see a single Turk for more than two months. What made the people even more excited was that they heard that General Liu's army had already defeated the rebel leader who named himself "Jieduolishi Khan"

After returning to his hometown in Mobei, the people wanted to see with their own eyes this mighty army that brought them peace and stability!

The guards standing high on the tower saw military flags appearing in the desert in the distance, and then small black dots appeared in the desert!

"Sir, here we come!" the guards guarding the city shouted in the direction of the governor Feng Zhijing!

Feng Zhijing looked far into the distance and saw the flag flying in front of the army, and he was immediately excited!

The weather in the Gobi is always changeable. The sun was rising just now, and suddenly there was a strong wind! The strong wind swept the dust and sand, making people unable to open their eyes. The black clouds in the sky swallowed everything, and the entire Gobi seemed to disappear! In an instant,

It seemed that the earth was trembling, black clouds mixed with lightning bolts dancing like silver snakes, the deafening thunder was even more violent and unpredictable, and bursts of wailing could be heard among the flying sand and rocks.

Everyone in the city shuddered after hearing this!

"Heishajuan is here, come in quickly!" I don't know who shouted!

When the people heard the shouts, they ran back to nearby houses to take shelter, and many officials also hid in the houses. When the raging wind subsided and the light returned outside, people braved the courage to come out. The ground,

The roofs, trees, and everything in the village were covered with a layer of yellow sand. However, what shocked everyone even more was that the army just now disappeared!

"Hey? Why are all the officers and soldiers missing?" shouted a guard standing high up!

When the governor Feng Zhijing heard the shouts of the guards, he quickly climbed to the top of the tower and looked over. Sure enough, the shadow of the army was gone!

"Here, come, ride your horse over to check! If you find anything, report it immediately!" Governor Feng Zhijing shouted in a panic!

Soon, a group of cavalry galloped out of the city and ran to the place where the army had just passed. In front of them was nothing but yellow sand. Several military flags and the red flag of Dazhou were half-hidden in the yellow sand. Some weapons were scattered on the ground.

, these things are enough to prove that there was indeed an army passing by just now, but both the generals and the soldiers were all missing!

"Brother Li, where have these people gone?" a soldier asked loudly!

"Have you gone far already?" Another soldier said!

"No, how far can we go in just such a short time? Besides, how dare they throw the military flag and weapons here? That is a crime of beheading!" said the man named Li Er!

"Did you see a ghost? Did you hear someone just now shouting that the Black Sand Juggernaut is coming? I heard the old man say before that there is a monster in the black desert called the Nine-Headed Black Sand Juggernaut. It is said to be more than ten feet long. Every step he takes

The earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and each head had two eyes like lanterns. Each mouth was more than one foot wide, and when the air came out of the nostrils, it was like a strong wind! Could it be that these people were screaming for monsters to swallow them up?

Right?" A soldier said while picking up the yellow sand!

"Don't be so blind. Have you seen that monster? We have to report it to the governor immediately!" Li Er said!

Soon Feng Zhijing, the governor of Shuozhou, received the report from the cavalry. After listening to the report, the governor Feng Zhijing slumped down in his chair. The general appointed by the emperor disappeared on the way to the court after winning the battle. This was tantamount to a disaster for Feng Zhijing!

Seeing Feng Zhijing in such a panic, Shuozhou Sima Jiang saluted and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"

After a while, Feng Zhijing came to his senses and said, "Jiang Chong, something big has happened!"

Jiang Chong also heard the report from the cavalry, and sweat broke out on his forehead, "Sir, is this too strange?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's strange or not. What matters is how we

How can we keep the hair on our heads?" Governor Feng Zhijing said worriedly!

"Sir, we don't need to panic too much. We can just report it truthfully! Although General Liu and his soldiers disappeared under our rule, at most we are guilty of neglecting our duties. We can just clear things up."

!" Jiang Chong comforted!

"Alas! I'm worried that the imperial court will send people to investigate. If you pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, you and I..." The governor Feng Zhijing looked at Jiang Chong in mid-sentence!

As the Sima of Shuozhou, Jiang Chong naturally understood what Feng Zhijing meant and was a little worried. However, after thinking for a moment, he said: "Sir, I have an idea!"

When the governor Feng Zhijing heard that Jiang Chong had an idea, he immediately stood up and said, "What idea? Tell me quickly!"

"We are now rushing six hundred miles away to send this report to the capital of God. If it is too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it even more clearly!" Sima Jiangchong said!

"What's your idea? I don't know how to report it yet? How do we write this report?" the governor Feng Zhijing said in annoyance!

"Sir, there is no need to panic. Didn't you hear someone shouting just now on top of the city tower? The Black Sand Juggernaut is here! There have long been rumors that there is a nine-headed Black Sand Juggernaut in the black desert. We said that the army may have encountered this...

Monster, we can't save it!" Sima Jiangchong said softly!

"That's all we can do now, alas!" The governor Feng Zhijing sighed, stamped the governor's seal on the report, and ordered someone to rush it six hundred miles to Luoyang, the sacred capital!

That night, Zhang Jianzhi, the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was sitting in the Judgment Hall of the Zhongshu Province. Suddenly, someone from the Zhongshu Province hurriedly opened the door and barged in. He knelt down and prostrated, shouting: "Master Ge!"

Zhang Jianzhi's face tightened and he asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Zhongshushe's face was still full of panic. He stood up quickly, holding the urgent report with trembling hands and presented it to Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi, "Mr. Ge, this is the 600 yuan that was just sent from Hedong Road.

Urgent report from Riga!"

Zhang Jianzhi took the memorial, opened it and read it again. Suddenly Zhang Jianzhi's face changed drastically, and he fell backward and leaned on the chair. Seeing this, the people in the Zhongshu Room hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Mr. Ge,

What to do now?”

Zhang Jianzhi didn't speak for a long time, and his cheeks were already covered with sweat. The people in Zhongshu House looked at Zhang Jianzhi who was stunned and said: "Mr. Ge, this matter is too important. Why don't you report it to the emperor first?

Yilongyan is furious, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Jianzhi suddenly stood up and said: "You should make a copy of this report immediately and give it to Mr. Di Ge! I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"
