Adjutant Men said: "Once Loulan City is lost, the enemy will invade our territory, and the people across the country will suffer. You don't want this to happen, right?"

Then he added: "And sending you out of the city was approved by the prefect."

Hearing that it was the prefect's permission, the captain's expression softened slightly. He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go, but you have to match each of us with a fast horse."

Adjutant Men clapped his hands and said, "No problem, I'll go and prepare ten fast horses for you."

"Wait a minute!" the tenth captain called as he was about to find Adjutant Mamen, and then pointed at Mo Shouchen and others, "They want it too."

"Them?" Adjutant Men looked puzzled, "They are all slaves. Isn't it unethical to let slaves ride horses?"

"I don't care what the rules are. If they don't have horses, I won't go!" the captain said firmly.

"Do you want to disobey the prefect's order?" Adjutant Men's face suddenly darkened.

The tenth captain smiled coldly: "Don't pressure me with the prefect. You and I both know whose idea this is. Again, if we don't give each of us a fast horse, I won't care about anyone else."

No!"

The corners of Adjutant Men's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, but he soon smiled and said: "Okay, okay, in this case, I will ask Lord Qianfu now. If he agrees, I will prepare it for you quickly."

horse."

After speaking, the adjutant turned around and left the barracks.

After the adjutant left, a soldier said to the captain: "Boss, this is obviously a trap they set for you. You stay in the city, and we can just leave the city."

"Nonsense, you guys gave up your high-ranking official salaries and came with me to this barren place, and now you leave me alone in the city to survive. If anyone dares to say such bastard words again, don't blame me for falling out with him!"

Seeing that the tenth captain was really angry, the soldier lowered his head and stopped talking.

Soon, the adjutant of the gate rushed back and said that the commander-in-chief's request had been agreed to and hoped that they could set off as soon as possible.

The captain snorted coldly and ignored the adjutant. Instead, he said to his subordinates and Mo Shouchen and others: "The enemy can't come so fast. You should have a good rest first. Let's set off before dark."

At noon, the script players finally ate the meal cooked by Jiao Ningmeng, although there was only one dish and there was a little too much salt.

But compared with those unpalatable meals, the dish cooked by Jiao Ningmeng was simply a feast for them.

After eating, everyone was preparing to go back to the barracks to rest, but Chen Ying secretly pulled Qiao Chengan to a corner, then whispered in his ear:

"The adjutant just now obviously wanted to trap the ten captains. The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and we are probably going to suffer as well."

Qiao Chengan nodded and said, "I see it too, so what should we do?"

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "I think you should go to the adjutant, express your position, and draw a clear line with the tenth captain, so that we can still have a chance of survival."

"Why don't you go?" Qiao Chengan's tone was full of doubts.

Chen Ying glanced back at the direction of the barracks, and then said: "Mo Shouchen has always been wary of me. If I leave for too long, they will definitely become suspicious, so you can only go and I will be responsible for holding them back."

Qiao Chengan felt that what Chen Ying said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

After saying that, Qiao Chengan sneaked into Adjutant Men's room...

When the sun was about to set, the tenth captain carefully inspected the horses sent by the adjutant. After confirming that there were no problems, he gathered the team and prepared to set off.

Arriving in front of the city gate, Mo Shouchen saw craftsmen pounding earth to repair the city wall. At this time, one-third of the city wall had been repaired. At this rate, it should be completely repaired by the morning of the day after tomorrow.

In other words, they have to wait until the morning of tomorrow before they can return to the city.

Mo Shouchen touched the black book in his arms. The fat chef was left behind by Cui Er in the kitchen. Feng Ji had been busy treating the wounded. He felt a little uneasy after losing these two generals.

"Set off!"

The ten captains shouted loudly, shook the reins, and led everyone away from Loulan City.

Watching them leave, Lieutenant Men showed a sinister smile on his face.

The group of people rode horses vigorously forward in the canyon. It only took half an hour for them to arrive ten miles away.

However, the captain had no intention of stopping, and continued walking for a few more miles until a narrow place appeared in front of him, and then he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop.

Mo Shouchen carefully observed the surrounding terrain. The previous road was at least forty or fifty meters wide, but here, the canyon suddenly tightened to less than twenty meters. Going forward, it returned to a wide road.

Therefore, it can be said that it is perfect to resist a large number of enemies here.

If it were anyone else, they might choose to walk a little less distance and get closer to Loulan City, so that they can get back to the city faster when escaping.

But the captain chose to walk a few miles further and defend at a geographically advantageous position, which shows his courage and courage, and he is not foolhardy.

The captain asked his men to camp here and lit a bonfire. After settling everything, he asked the slave script players to sit around the bonfire and have dinner together.

Mo Shouchen sat next to the captain. When the captain saw him eating the dry food made by Jiao Ningmeng, he said, "Let me have a taste."

Mo Shouchen generously broke off a piece and handed it to the captain. The captain just took a small bite and spat it out.

"Bah, is this food for humans to eat? It tastes too bad!"

When she heard someone say that the food she cooked was unpalatable, Jiao Ningmeng's face suddenly darkened.

But just when she was about to have an attack subconsciously, Wang Guoqiang, who was sitting next to her, quickly pulled her back and reminded her that this was a script world and some things had to be endured.

Mo Shouchen handed the kettle to the tenth captain, and then said with a smile: "We all eat this in our hometown, maybe you are not used to it."

After eating, the captain divided the team into four groups and took turns to keep vigil. However, he reassured everyone that the possibility of the enemy attacking tonight was very small, so there was no need to be too nervous.

The tenth captain took Mo Shouchen and two others to guard the first shift.

After everyone else fell asleep, he suddenly patted Mo Shouchen on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the toilet with me."

Mo Shouchen was stunned for a moment, thinking that the captain didn't look like someone who was afraid of the dark, so why should he accompany him to the toilet.

However, the tenth captain had already stood up, and Mo Shouchen could not delay any longer, so he could only stand up obediently and walk towards the dark corner together.

When they arrived at the place, the tenth captain untied his belt and started to drain the water. It seemed that he really wanted to go to the toilet. Mo Shouchen had no intention of peeing and could only stand aside awkwardly.
