Chapter 20 Xiangmen Fortress

The door is closed

Xiangmen Pass is the largest gate in the southern Lebanon boundary. The three entrances are guarded by heavy soldiers, and there are guards standing guard every few steps at the gate.

When Chu Longer and Han Bing arrived at the pass, they saw a team of new recruits practicing, and the guards on the side of the road were solemn and majestic.

The protective wall of Xiangmen is made of a combination of ancient wood and giant stone. It is strong and stable. On the top of the wall is a pointed wooden column to prevent climbing.

Hundreds of meters outside the protective wall is another protective wall of a thick wooden building, and many guards patrol within these two protective walls.

Banana trees can be seen everywhere in the Nanli boundary. Chu Longer and Han Bing tied the horses under the banana tree in the west gate. There are just some weeds under the tree for horses to eat.

The two walked around the customs and found that there were not many people. They were basically the guards of the checkpoint and the officers and soldiers guarding here. There were not many hawkers here, and they only saw a few hawkers selling daily necessities.

"It's strange, fox, why are there so few people in such a big door? What's the reason?" Chu Longer has seen so many places, which is the least crowded.

"This is the largest checkpoint in Nanli. Naturally, too many idle people will not be stationed here. It is not the guards who can be stationed here, but their relatives and friends who buy and sell goods here." Han Bing looked at the flow of people around him.

"That's right. Let's go and look around and see if there is any good business." After coming out for a few months, I really didn't go shopping and sell anything.

It's quite boring to go around. There are no other vendors here except for buying and selling daily necessities and pharmacists. She doesn't want to buy two pieces of clothes to change.

"There are a lot of officers and soldiers' tents here..."

"Wh... What is that?" Chu Longer pointed to a gossip array with blue light in the middle and asked Han Bing.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it before." Han Bing doesn't know what that thing is for.

"Why is there anyone else putting on paper lamps at this time?" Chu Longer looked at the floating paper lamps and slowly floated into the air.

"It must be a memorial to your loved ones!" In some places, paper lamps are also lit to commemorate the anniversary of the death of loved ones.

"Well, I think it's like this!"

The two walked while chatting and walked to the largest tent in the pass. The guard in front of the tent was very strict. It seemed that it must be an important official guarding here.

Han Bing looked at her and looked at the tent and said, "This is the guard of the gate. Only the highest guard will live in such a luxurious tent, and ordinary generals are ordinary tents."

"Let's go and have a look?" Chu Longer said and walked in, and immediately a guard stopped her from entering.

"I'm the daughter of General Chu, and I want to see the general here." Chu Longer took out the token given by her father, and the guard immediately put her in.

Jiang Hao was looking at the topographic map of Xiangmen Pass and heard someone coming in, so he raised his head: "I'm Commander Jiang Hao who is guarding here. Who are you?"

"I'm Chu Longer, the daughter of General Chu. This is my brother Han Bing." Chu Longer handed the token to Commander Jiang.

"It turned out to be General Chu's daughter. Please sit down, please sit down..."

"Dad has explained that let's take a look when we pass through each level and understand the situation by the way." Chu Longer sat aside and looked at the handsome young leader, who was only about thirty.

The commander walked out of the table with his hands behind his back: "Now we are fighting with the zombie army led by the demon leader named Mo Chen. There are detectives to report that the enemy is secretly dispatching troops with the intention of fighting to the death with our army! Therefore, we should also prepare early to destroy the demon army of Mo Chen in this war.

"Is there anything we can do for you? Dad asked us to come here to see if you need our help.

"Thank you for your willingness to help. Welcome to join our battle. We need talents like you." Jiang Hao has long heard that General Chu's daughter has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She was studied by Mo Qingtian and has different qualifications from ordinary people. She is a martial arts genius.

"This gate is the main pass of Nanli. We have to defend it desperately, and the general is also dispatching troops here." Jiang Hao is having a headache today because the food was stolen from the barracks.

Chu Longer looked at Commander Jiang, who suddenly locked his eyebrows, and guessed that he must have encountered a problem: "Is there any problem for the leader?"

Jiang Hao sighed: "Now is the time to prepare for war. The preparation of soldiers, horses, food and grass before the war is very important. However, at this juncture, it is found that our grain and grass have been frequently stolen."

"Hasn't it been found out who stole it?"

"Not yet."

"Leave this matter to us. You just need to take us to the grain and grass warehouse." Han Bing stood up and he wanted to look at the grain and grass library.

"Okay, thank you two. I hope you can help me find out the thief." After Commander Jiang took them to the grain and herbary, he went back to prepare for the war.

That night, Chu Longer and Han Bing hid in the grain and grass warehouse. In the middle of the night, they heard the sound of small footsteps. Chu Longer touched the sleepy ice, and Han Bing quickly woke up and raised his ears.

Through the faint light, Chu Longer saw that there were two people coming. Each of them carried a bag of grain and wanted to go out. Han Bing jumped forward to stop them.

As soon as the thief saw that someone was blocking the way, he threw the grain bag on the ground and prepared to grab the door. Chu Longer also jumped forward and blocked the door to prevent them from escaping.

Seeing that the thieves could not escape, they had to fight with Han Bing and Chu Longer. How could the two thieves be their opponents? After a while, they were captured and sent to the command office for them to deal with.

Commander Jiang punched the two: "Thank you two."

Chu Longer: "This grain and grass warehouse has always been guarded by heavy soldiers. This thief can actually go in and out freely. I suspect that there must be spies and inner response in the camp."

Jiang Hao nodded: "What you said is reasonable. I will definitely find out what happened."

At this time, someone ran in and said, "General, this is a secret letter found from the spies. The strange thing is that there is no word in the superstition..."

"No words?"

Han Bing: "The more so, the more important the conspiracy is buried in this letter."

"Well, there is a veteran in the camp. I think he can unlock the secret." Jiang Hao turned to the guard and said, "Go and call Cheng Tao."

Cheng Tao came, and Jiang Hao handed him the letter in his hand: "No words, what's going on?"

Cheng Tao took the letter and looked through it in his hand: "This secret letter is written with potion, and the handwriting will appear after being heated."

"Someone can get me the torch." Jiang Hao shouted.

Cheng Tao took the torch and roasted the secret letter close to the torch. After a while, the handwriting slowly appeared.

"It's on the rise. That's great."

After reading the letter, Jiang Hao said, "It turns out that the enemy is already impatient. Regardless of the emptiness of the inner camp, they gathered the whole army and prepared to raid our army tomorrow evening."

"Isn't this what you mean? Aren't you ready for the war? You can fight at any time. Chu Longer looked at Jiang Hao with a smile on his face and knew that he was sure.

"Well, make a plan and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"Commarch, I heard that this level is densely forested. In addition, their zombie soldiers are everywhere, poisonous gas is everywhere, and ordinary people enter, and often the limbs will be weak due to poisoning in less than a moment, so the battle is not good for us." Han Bing is worried about the poison gas outside this level.

"I'm also worried about this." Jiang Hao frowned when he heard this.

Chu Longer thought for a moment, "I heard that the Gu people are good at detoxification. There are Gu people in the barracks. You can ask them for help."

"Yes, go and call Yao Li." Jiang Hao shouted.

After a while, Yao Li was called.

"Yaili, can you solve the poisonous gas outside this barrier? The battle is coming soon, and this gas must be solved. Jiang Hao looked at him.

"It's soothable, but if you want to collect rucedarin outside the customs, only it can be able to make an antidote, and many brothers must have a lot of ruce." Although Yao Li is a poisonous person, he is still willing to help the army defeat the demon army first, and let go of racial grudges first.

"Okay, I'll order someone to pick it immediately." Jiang Hao immediately sent someone to pick and turned his head: "Thank you, Yao Li."

"No, dealing with demons is the common purpose of our two ethnic groups."

"Great, now we have the knowledge that our army can finally enter the depths of the jungle to fight with the demon army without shrinking in the camp." Jiang Hao solved the poison gas problem and was in a good mood.

"The enemy will come to raid tomorrow night. We have to prepare early. Lighting is a problem." Ice reminder.

"Yes, they come to raid at night, and our vision is not as good as them at night, which is really a big problem." Jiang Hao sighed again. How to solve this lighting problem? Is it possible to light the torch everywhere?

"Why is this difficult?" Chu Longer smiled. She remembered the paper lamp that someone put on when she first got here.

"Do you have a good way?" Jiang Hao's eyes lit up as soon as he heard Chu Longer's words.

"The leader can order people to make more paper lamps, and then tie a rope to put them into the air and fix them in the air. Can't they be illuminated?"

"Yes! Why can't I think of it? Haha... Wonderful... Wonderful..." The problem of lighting has also been solved, and everything is ready.

Han Bing nodded: "This method is really feasible."

"Thank you for your help. You have solved a lot of problems for me when you come. Thank you very much. Now I'll wait for the demon to come."

"Eradicate demons is the duty of our people in the wilderness, so there is no need to thank the leader." Han Bing smiled and said, "We practice martial arts in order to drive this demon out of the wilderness and return it to our pure land as soon as possible."

"Okay, young people are really successful. I'm really happy to get your help. Tomorrow we will drive this demon army out of this door and drive them out of Nanli."

"Let's work together to kill all the demons."

Chu Longer walked out of the leader's tent and looked at Han Bing: "Fox, sleep well. You will be killed tomorrow. I heard that the demons in this door are more powerful than before. You have to be careful in the game. It's better not to be too far away from me. We can take care of each other."

"Well, don't worry, our brothers will be able to resist the demons and win."
