Chapter 358(1/2)
Biying took out a white lotus from the jade box, which was the size of a bowl. She put it at the end of her nose and sniffed it. She screamed and waved to the gongzifeng.
Gongzifeng hurried over: Master Bi, what are your instructions? Gongzifeng really can't afford to offend Biying. This person has a very bad temper. He doesn't listen to anyone except Ren Daoyuan. Even Ren Daoyuan's words depend on whether he is willing to listen.
zhi... Biying pointed to the tiger-skin wrist guard on his wrist, and a trace of greed appeared in his little eyes. But it knew that this was a good thing, but unfortunately Ren Daoyuan didn't give it, but gave Gongzifeng. On several occasions, Biying wanted to steal his, but was taught a lesson by Ren Daoyuan, and finally did not take action.
For you, Gongzifeng immediately understood what Biying meant and took out the little white flowers in jade boxes from the tiger's wrist guard.
Before, Ren Daoyuan asked them to visit the Moonlight Mountain Earth Lake in Dezhou. In addition to picking up a few seedlings, Biying naturally picked a large number of small white flowers, which was its favorite food. The ones brought out from the Lake in the first place had been eaten up by it, so this time, they will naturally pick them.
Ah... It's this kind of flower. Li Qiuyu happily took the jade box, took out two petals from it, and put them into his mouth, looking at enjoyment.
Ren Daoyuan looked at a man and a beast and was speechless. In his opinion, the white lotus in the snow mountain was much better than the purple-drilled flower, but in the eyes of these two people, the purple-drilled flower is the supreme delicacy in the world.
Nan Ji walked to the side of the pot, picked up the spoon, and started serving the soup. The soup seemed to have been cooking for quite a long time, and the taste of the snow rabbit and the mushroom had already been integrated into the soup.
Don't worry, drink some soup first, we have time to chat. Nan Ji said softly, serving a bowl to Gongzifeng and Ren Daoyuan.
OK. Ren Daoyuan responded, and he had already seen that these two people seemed to have discovered something here.
After drinking a few bowls of soup, Ren Daoyuan put down the wooden bowl in his hand. This small wooden house did not look like it was newly built. I think Li Qiuyu and Nan Ji have lived here for quite some time.
Those who followed you should be the Taoist soldiers of Qinglin Daozong in Mizhou, Xueling. During this period, they were staring very closely. As long as the people coming from outside were under their surveillance, Xu Jin was not allowed to leave. Nan Ji said softly.
Oh? It’s Qinglin Daojian. They were not on the northern front line at this time, so why were they here? Ren Daoyuan asked.
Nan Ji smiled strangely at Ren Daoyuan: What did you see?
Ren Daoyuan shook his head: I didn't see anything, so I naturally couldn't see anything. I just felt that the refugee camp here was a bit strange. Although it was indeed refugees,... but it seemed that they were all for others to see. The area of Mizhou is not small, and there are enough places to arrange these refugees.
Ren Daoyuan thought about it and continued: Although these refugees looked pale and thin, they were much better than those in Yunzhou.
You have good eyesight, you are right. When I first came here, I thought it was quite strange. After seeing it for too much, I realized that the problem was really big. Nan Ji took a sip of hot soup and sighed.
I wonder what the seniors have discovered? Ren Daoyuan asked.
Don’t call me senior, you should call me Sister Nan like Qiuyu, it’s comfortable to listen to it. Nan Ji said.
Sister Nan, you have been here for a long time. Ren Daoyuan is so kind. If you recognize such an elder sister, you will not suffer any loss and will definitely take advantage. Although Nan Ji is not very old, she has already reached the top level of the moon level. She is just a shortage and has never been able to advance to the Yang Shen.
Yes, we have been here for almost a year. We originally wanted to stay in Yunzhou for a while, but there were too many troubles. After living for a few months, we spent most of our time running away and fighting. At first, it was better, but later there were more and more powerful people. I was a little worried about her safety, so I advised her to change the place. It happened that Zongzhou and Mizhou started a war, so we came. Nan Ji looked around the hut with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Nan Ji has been living in the South China Sea. When she arrived in Jiuzhou, she went to Yunzhou with Li Qiuyu and was in a wandering state. Although there are also many troubles in living here, she has her own small home. This small home is only her and Li Qiuyu, and she has to busy helping those patients in the refugee camp every day.
But this year has been the most comfortable life she has lived. Nan Ji even hoped that this refugee camp would continue to exist and let her live like this.
Unfortunately, these are just her wishful thinking. Over the past year, she has seen many things. Even if she didn't see Ren Daoyuan and the others today, she is ready to persuade Li Qiuyu to leave. It's time to leave. If she doesn't leave, she is afraid they won't be able to leave.
In the southern part of Mizhou, not far from the Texas border, there are five refugee camps like this, and there are more than a dozen refugee camps, which are not allowed to be approached by outsiders at all. Nan Ji had a hint of ridicule on the corner of her mouth. Those people, in order to achieve their goals, were really useless and could use any tricks.
More than a dozen... Ren Daoyuan felt something vaguely.
Those refugee camps were not all young and strong, right? Ren Daoyuan asked, although Nan Ji said that outsiders were not allowed to approach those refugee camps, so Nan Ji's cultivation level was not many people who could stop her if she wanted to see it. The entire Qinglin Dao Sect in Mizhou was probably only those three Yang Gods could do it.
Not only young and strong, but also soldiers, but also army, and established legions, not only Mizhou, but also Zongzhou. Nan Ji said.
It was really like this. Ren Daoyuan stood up suddenly. He already understood that he had always felt that the war between Zongzhou and Mizhou was too abrupt, and the result of the war was speechless.
Perhaps Gong Zifeng is right. A strong state may not necessarily win, let alone the war between Zongzhou and Mizhou is too short and there is no result. But Ren Daoyuan always felt that there was a ghost in it, and there was something he didn't expect.
Now that Nan Ji said, he understood that this was a war that deceived everyone, not only deceiving other states and state sects, but also his own people also deceived them.
The refugee camps I saw today are definitely true. There are almost no young and strong people there, and the faces of the refugees are not very good-looking. These people should be civilians in the northern part of Mizhou. They were forcibly retreated here by the Ice and Snow Empire. There are at least five such refugee camps, all of which are used to confuse people.
Those refugee camps are as big as here, with so many people? Ren Daoyuan frowned and asked, "If the scale is too large, it is not easy to deceive people."
Of course not that big, these five refugee camps are the largest. Nan Ji looked at Ren Daoyuan with a hint of praise in her eyes. She really couldn't see that the boy from Qingzhou in front of her had a good vision. He could think so far-reachingly after just a few words.
Ren Daoyuan closed his eyes and thought for a while: Since the refugee camps are not large in size, I think there are other means, which one is the best? Of course, it was the prisoner-of-war camp. Mizhou won the battle and captured many Zongzhou prisoners and sent them to the southern part of Mizhou. I was afraid that they would escape. It was indeed a good method. I think there should be many such prisoner-of-war camps.
That's right, there are twelve such prisoners of war camps, and with so many prisoners of war, they naturally need a large number of guards. Within this radius of thousands of miles, the Mizhou Ice and Snow Empire invested a whole army of 100,000. Nan Ji sneered.
This number is actually not too many. Not only do 100,000 people have to guard the southern border of Mizhou, but also manage more than 100,000 prisoners of war. In addition to dealing with the refugee wave, this number is really not too many.
Sister Nan, how many people are there in total? Ren Daoyuan asked.
Nan Ji naturally knew what he was asking: I ran a few days ago, and there were at least 800,000 people in a radius of thousands of miles.
So much... Ren Daoyuan took a breath of air conditioning. Unexpectedly, in just over a year, Mizhou and Zongzhou's preparations were already so full. If what he guessed was right, Texas would be in trouble this time.
Is there too much? Not much at all. Although Mizhou was defeated on the surface, in fact, the battle has always been in Mizhou. Mizhou adopted a strategy of advancing east and retreating west. The eastern front was about to reach Zongzhou, but the western front retreated as much as possible. Moreover, Mizhou was still mobilizing reserve forces.
Are they all very close to this place? Ren Daoyuan understands.
Yes, the recent one is less than a thousand miles away, so the army will naturally not be able to walk too fast, and ten days are enough. These so-called reserve corps are actually regular corps from Xueling Mizhou, and those on the front line are reserves. Nan Ji said.
Recently, many Taoist soldiers from Mizhou have been sent here to monitor us outsiders. We are better off. Qiuyu is really trying to help those refugees. Moreover, we came earlier and are not paid much attention. If it weren't for my reasons, no one would care about Qiuyu's. Nan Ji said.
No wonder so many people followed us today. Are they still outside now? Ren Daoyuan asked, his cultivation was too low, and he could not sense the situation outside in the wooden house.
Still there, there were only two. Nan Ji smiled and said.
Oh... Ren Daoyuan understood that these people thought they and Gongzifeng were with Li Qiuyu and Nan Ji, so they relaxed their surveillance of them. They only put two people outside.
Are there many outsiders here? Ren Daoyuan asked, the tricks played by Mizhou and Zongzhou are very beautiful, but are the other Daozongs all fools? They all have some doubts, and I believe they will also make moves.
Starting from the past few months, there were many outsiders, from all states, with many names, and most of them sent people to deliver some food and daily necessities. Nan Ji said.
This is how. Ren Daoyuan nodded and thought for a while, and felt that the various Dao Sects did not have much usefulness in doing this. The refugee camps here are indeed true. I think there are similar other places. It is useless to use this method to check the details. Unless you have Nan Ji's cultivation level and live here for a long time, it is difficult to see the mystery.
Biying took out a white lotus from the jade box, which was the size of a bowl. She put it at the end of her nose and sniffed it. She screamed and waved to the gongzifeng.
