After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Two days later.

Yan Changqing gathered 5,000 elite soldiers, plus the previous 1,500 search team members, and set off towards the oasis deep in the desert.

Supply is difficult deep in the desert, so quality of soldiers is more important than quantity.

Fang Ting and Qu Liang followed the team, while Yan Jinyin and Yan Jinyang stayed in Yumen Pass.

With the guidance of tribal people who were familiar with the route, we knew where the oases were and where we could get supplies, so the journey was smooth.

Even so, it took several days to walk from the place where the sandstorm happened that day.

The further they walked, the more serious Yan Changqing's expression became.

Looking at the bright sun above his head and the endless desert with indistinct direction, he found it hard to imagine how his wife had walked to the tribe with an oasis in the chaos at that time.

A team of more than 5,000 people seems so small here.

Besides, there were only two of them with her at that time?

How desperate should it be?

Thanks to Yan Yuanan's insistence on following, I think the two of them can still support each other.

Thanks to Yan Yuanan, Xie Shu was willing to give in under the pressure of Queen Xie and let him lead the army to war.

At that time, no one expected that this move would play such a big role.

If Yan Yuanan had calculated all this, how could he be so foresighted?

There are many resourceful people in history, but Yan Yuanan was only fifteen years old.

Madam was optimistic about Yan Yuanan as the next emperor and cultivated him carefully. She indeed had her own reasons.

"General, we can't move forward today."

The guide came to ask for instructions: "If we go any further, there will be no place to hide from the sun. If we wait until the evening, we will arrive at night."

"can."

Yan Changqing nodded in agreement.

Marching in the desert is undoubtedly a torture.

Due to lack of water and sun exposure, his lips were dry and chapped, and his expression was becoming increasingly haggard due to the double torture of body and mind.

Only a pair of bloodshot eyes remained firm as usual.

After receiving his order, the soldiers dismounted from their horses and led their horses to the shade to rest.

The place where they were was a cliff formed by several huge rocks. Perhaps thousands of years ago, this place was full of strange peaks and steep mountains, but now it has been weathered to the point where only these remains are left.

The area is not very large, and it is a good place for the army to rest temporarily and wait for the scorching sun to go down.

"Father, please have a drink of water first." Yan Shiyan stepped forward and handed over a water bag with concern.

During the march, his attitude towards this nominal father changed greatly, from hoping that his mother would divorce him to respecting him at this moment.

Yan Changqing took it and took a sip, only to find it tasted sweet. He looked at him in surprise.

Yan Shiyan smiled and explained, "It's the elixir that my fifth brother gave me before I left. Dissolve it in water and drink it. It can not only quench your thirst, but also replenish your vitality."

Very suitable for people who practice martial arts.

Yan Jinyang is a gifted man who often has some brilliant ideas. He can make these pills with various practical functions. In this regard, even his master Qu Liang is not as good as him.

It’s just that the quantity is limited and cannot be supplied to all soldiers.

Yan Changqing nodded: "Not bad."

Looking at Yan Shiyan, through his current appearance, I saw the child he rescued from the war.

Who would have thought that the child with empty and numb eyes would grow up to be the outstanding person he is today?

Children are all growing up in their own way.

Know how to protect your mother.

The sun hung high in the cloudless sky, scorching the golden desert with the strongest sunlight. Rolling heat waves rose up, and even the air became distorted and blurred.

The soldiers either leaned or sat to conserve their energy.

The soldiers on patrol were divided into three teams, each on guard in a different direction.

After drinking the water, Yan Changqing closed his eyes and leaned against the rock wall, paying attention to the movements around him.

He was the commander of an army, so no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't show it.

Thinking that I would be able to see my wife in the evening, I felt a little relaxed.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard: "Who is it?"

Yan Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and all living things in the desert had stopped moving.

What is the purpose of the people approaching at this time, or is it an enemy attack?

If the other party is an enemy, they will definitely not be able to leave.

Trekking through the deserted desert, seeing the same scenery everywhere is bound to make people tired and anxious after a long time.

The news that someone was coming to attack boosted the morale of everyone from top to bottom.

Yan Changqing stood up and flew away following the sound.

There were only two people.

He had the appearance of a local, wearing the light-colored ephedra robe most common in the desert, and a hood on his head.

One of them was held high up by Fang Ting by the neck, his face flushed red due to lack of oxygen, and his legs in the air kicking wildly.

The other man knelt in the hot sand, kowtowed and begged Fang Ting to let the man go.

However, Yan Changqing could see that Fang Ting was just trying to scare him and did not use any strength with his hands, so he did not really want to kill him.

Seeing him coming, Fang Ting let go, and the man fell to the ground with a plop, holding his neck and coughing.

"General." Fang Ting saluted and pointed in a direction, saying, "These two people are spying on our camp over there."

The two people who were caught had despair in their eyes.

They were far enough away that they didn't understand how they were discovered.

And this old man is simply terrifying.

They had never seen such amazing kung fu, and it flew over from such a long distance that they were caught before they could even think of escaping.

"Who are you?"

Yan Changqing raised his chin slightly and said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth, don't try to lie."

His mind had become more and more tense since Qin Yaoguang's disappearance. His handsome features looked particularly stern, and the dark clouds in his eyes seemed like a storm was about to come.

At this moment, he spoke with an expressionless face, and there was no warmth in his voice, which was more effective than any threatening words.

The sun was scorching, and the two men felt a cold wind blowing on their backs. They broke out in a cold sweat and shivered.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Yan Changqing signaled to his men: "Call the guide."

He had been guarding the northern border for many years and understood the language there, but he was unfamiliar with the local customs and practices, not to mention the language.

"I……"

The young man who was pinched by Fang Ting finally reacted and stammered, "I can speak Chinese."

He is Burigude, the man in charge of outbound trading in the Oasis Tribe and the one who rescued Qin Yaoguang that day.

The Chinese is not standard, but I can understand it.

"You said."

Yan Changqing looked at him indifferently, as if he was looking at an inanimate object.

Under the pressure of such gazes, Burigude dared not tell a lie, and hurriedly explained: "We are from a nearby tribe. We are patrolling nearby because we are afraid that the Tibetans will suddenly attack us."

"Tibetan?"

Yan Changqing frowned, looked at the vast desert covered with yellow sand, then lowered his eyes to look at him.
