Chapter 697: A Fire of Lan's Royal Court(1/2)
That night, Watson didn't stop until he lay on the back of his horse and headed east, fifty miles away from the Lan family's court.
After lighting a fire to cook the broth, Watson jumped into the river to clean his wounds while Xiao Hei watched nervously.
It wasn't until Watson was clean and climbed to the fire on the shore that Xiao Hei screamed.
"What's going on? Your body is full of wounds, just like when you first arrived in Yinshan and fought those monsters."
Xiao Hei screamed, this was not the result he wanted.
If he had known this, he would have rushed forward and killed the man in black. How could he have waited until Watson was injured like this?!
Watson took out the wine jar and poured two glasses of wine, and applied gold wound medicine on the wound. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful."
After thinking for a while, he smiled miserably and said: "That's fine, let me see the swordsmanship of the Nanhai Great Monk."
The two of them guarded a fire, ate barbecue, drank broth, and drank two glasses of spiritual wine.
Looking at the stars above his head, Watson thought for a while and said: "Uncle, you should wait until they are asleep, then burn down the entire granary without leaving a single one behind."
Now that people have arrived from the South China Sea, I am afraid that in less than two days, the Lan family's royal court's food and grass will be transported to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang.
Since the other party doesn't want to let him go, Watson will also not show mercy!
This is spring, and the cattle and sheep will not lack green grass. As long as the cattle and sheep do not die of hunger, the elderly and children will not starve!
Watson will not leave a grain of food for the army in Nanhai!
Xiao Hei laughed: "That's right. Since they are willing to get entangled with Feixian Island in the South China Sea, I will go and burn all the food and grass here."
He chuckled and stuffed Watson's roasted meat into his mouth.
"You performed well today. I will tell the general another day and ask him to reward you well."
Xiao Hei saw that Watson had no reaction, and then said: "We can't have a good sleep today again?!"
Watson sighed and replied: "Yes, after daybreak, we will leave the Lan family's court a hundred miles away and find a secluded place to rest."
Xiao Hei nodded and said: "Anyway, it's idle time. Let's set a fire and let the people from the South China Sea die as soon as possible."
Watson thought about the Nanhai monks he met tonight, and couldn't help but frown and said, "Uncle Master, where did these many Tribulation Realm monks come from Feixian Island in the South China Sea?"
Xiao Hei shook his head and said, "You have to ask the old monk about this. Only he and Yelu Mingzhu have been to Feixian Island in the South China Sea. Yelu Mingzhu definitely doesn't know about it."
Watson thought for a while and said: "Should I continue moving forward later, or should I wait here for my uncle?"
Xiao Hei shook his head: "This is all the way to the east. Even if they die, they will not think that we are going to Kaiyang City. At most, they will think that we are going to the west."
Watson thought so, and sighed, lying on the animal blanket and stroking the wounds on his body, thinking that he might have to rest for a long time this time.
Xiao Hei also closed his eyes, and the two of them would probably be on their way in the middle of the night.
…
In the Royal Court of the Lan Family, the Great Khan's royal tent was brightly lit.
The elders sitting around frowned tightly. The monks sent out had many casualties, which made them feel very incredible.
The key is that there is still no news about the great monk sent by Feixianduo Island to urge food supplies, and it is almost time to reach the end of the world.
That was a great monk who was even more powerful than King Khan. If he died in the Royal Court of the Lan Family, King Khan might not be able to explain to Feixian Island.
The woman sitting at the top, who was the wife of Khan King Lan Tianqi, suddenly said: "I did not agree to cooperate with Feixian Island at the beginning. You must know that Yan'er has already gone to the Five Domains Imperial City."
After receiving a letter from Lan Feiyan and learning that her daughter had entered the Royal Academy of the Five Realms Dynasty, the woman even regretted her original agreement to follow Feixian Island to send troops to southern Xinjiang.
Back then, the royal courts of the grassland united and failed to capture Nanyun City, but now they can capture Feixian Island instead?
Even a woman knows that the current Five Regions Dynasty is not what it used to be, otherwise the princess of Yelu Palace would not be able to safely be her queen.
After much deliberation, Yelu Chucai still had the guts to refuse to fly to Fairy Island.
An elder sitting next to her sighed: "Now that it's like this, there's no point in saying anything else."
Another elder said: "No matter what happens in the future, if we transport the food this time, we will tell King Khan that if this continues, we will all starve to death."
The woman frowned and said, "I heard that in order to avoid the people from Feixian Island, the Yelu Royal Court has moved their entire family and left the land where they have lived for thousands of years."
The elder sitting below her sighed and replied leisurely: "As the old saying goes, if I can't beat you, is it possible that I don't know how to hide?"
Another elder shook his head and said with a worried expression: "Send more people to patrol the night tonight, and we will keep patrolling until dawn, and wait until the army carrying the grain leaves..."
They had already suffered so many casualties, and if there was another problem with food and grass, they would not even dare to think about it.
The woman frowned and said, "Great Elder, please make arrangements."
The elder sitting below her nodded and said: "I hope that the immortal God will bless us and allow us to spend tonight safely. As for whether the monks in Hainan are dead or alive, we have nothing to do."
In his opinion, he was already the elder with the highest cultivation level in the Lan Family Royal Court. He did not expect that the person from Feixian Island was two levels higher than him.
If something happens to such a monk, not even the Lan family's royal court can do anything about it.
Who told him that his skills were inferior to others and that he was cut off halfway?
The corner of the woman's mouth moved, but she didn't say a word. At this moment, her mind had already flown out of the grassland, thinking about her daughter thousands of miles away.
As long as his daughter is well in the Royal Academy, he will be well.
Moreover, the princess of the Lan family's court who has entered the Royal Academy may find it difficult to get married to the prince on the grassland.
With a wave of her hand, the woman asked a group of elders to leave. The rich and powerful were all watching over Changshengtian, so she didn't need to worry too much.
…
No more than a moment, no less than a moment, just like the time Xiaohei and Watson made an appointment.
Halfway through the ugly period, the world fell into silence.
The last light in the royal tent of the Lan family's court has been turned off. Only three places in the entire Lan family camp have lights on, and dozens of monks are patrolling the surrounding areas.
There is one more granary than Jiankun Royal Court, and the Lan family has three.
Someone died last night, and none of the monks on patrol now dare to be careless. Dozens of them are divided into two shifts to patrol in turns. Not to mention people, not even a wild dog can get close.
The sky is still covered with dark clouds and only a few stars are blinking.
Just when everyone thought that the long night was about to pass, and only after dawn would they be able to sleep peacefully.
Without warning, a bunch of flames suddenly fell from the invisible night sky... when the night watchman heard the sound of a beep.
A raging fire was already burning in front of them.
"It's on fire! Call someone quickly!"
"Oh my god, this is divine fire from heaven, it's going to destroy our Lan clan!"
"Go quickly and tell the Great Elder..."
Woohoo! Suddenly a shrill horn sounded in the dark night. This was a horn that would be blown at night when the army invaded.
Before all the elders, monks, and herdsmen of the Lan Family Royal Court woke up from their sleep...
Two more flames fell from the sky, instantly igniting the remaining two granaries.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the entire Lan clan's royal tent camp was already lit up by fire.
Just like the Jiankun Royal Court, even if the fire shot up into the air, it had no intention of spreading around. It just burned quietly and would not stop until the last grain of food was burned.
Amidst the sound of trumpets, the monks and herdsmen who woke up went to fetch water to put out the fire.
Even the mistress of the Lan family woke up from her dream, looked at the burning granary and sighed: "Is it possible that people are not as good as God?"
I had already sent a large army to watch and patrol at night, but I didn't expect that the fire was still burning brightly.
After much deliberation, I could only silently smile bitterly and say: "That's fine, it cuts off our food rations and cuts off your thoughts."
Just as Watson thought, it was the late spring and early summer, and the young and old on the grassland would not starve to death because the cattle and sheep had endless green grass to eat.
But the South China Sea army is different. They have already cut off food and grass in two places.
Just when the Lan family's royal court was in chaos and sent out an army to search everywhere, Xiao Hei had already turned into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the east.
Even though the Lan family's royal court's army was as fast as lightning, it couldn't catch up with him flying in the sky, or with Watson who was already fifty miles away.
By daybreak, the two of them had already headed east a hundred miles away.
…
It was daybreak and the rain had stopped, but Zhonghuasheng had to stop while running wildly.
Because he had to stop, because he had been hit by a damaging move from the Royal Court of the Lan Family or Feixian Island in the South China Sea, and tiny red spots began to appear all over his body, and he was itching non-stop.
So he jumped into the river to clean himself, and then Xiao Hei gave him an elixir, half of which was boiled into concoction to drink, and the other half was used to apply on his body.
It doesn't work at all.
Xiao Hei frowned and asked, "When you fought with the man in black, was it possible that the poison on his sword was gone?"
Watson shook his head and thought about it quietly. If the sword had been poisoned, he would have fallen down long ago. Besides, ordinary poisons couldn't affect him, right?
He had eaten countless demonic beast meats on Yinshan Mountain and drank the blood of the Golden Tiger King, so his body was supposedly invulnerable to all poisons.
What's more, his formless body has been perfected, so how can it be harmed by ordinary poisons?
After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, Watson suddenly thought of the sudden thick smoke. It was supposed to be nightfall. How could anyone come out to farm at this time?
