The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 122 Protecting His Wife
After everyone discussed it properly, Li Ling ordered to prepare enough dry food and water, and then set off.

Naturally, driving in such a vast Gobi desert is not allowed. Li Ling was worried about his wife riding a horse alone, so he planned to protect her and take a ride together.

It's just that Ziyun also doesn't know how to ride a horse. Although a man and a woman don't know each other well, under such circumstances, there is no way to pay attention to these things.

Li Ling approached Zhou Jin and Liang Jin, and asked, "Which of you two is willing to protect Miss Ziyun?"

Zhou Jin hurriedly replied: "Then, of course, General Liang is worthy of this job."

Liang Jin glanced back at him, and Zhou Jin said with a sneer: "You are better at horsemanship than me, so naturally you can protect the girl's family better."

Liang Jin snorted coldly and said, "Last time we raced horses, but you won the lottery."

Zhou Jin praised Liang Jin and said, "You are more careful."

Liang Jin praised Zhou Jin and said, "You are more modest."

The two flattered each other, but neither of them wanted to take on this burden. Li Ling frowned and said, "Can't you two be a little bit more responsible?"

After listening to Li Ling's words, Zhou Jin grinned at him and said, "Since my cousin said so, let Liang come in, he is more responsible than me."

Liang Jin: "Your boy"

Jing Shu at the side glanced at the two who were arguing, and then looked at Ziyun who was blushing with shame, and said to Liang Jin: "General Liang, can you protect Ziyun, please?"

Liang Jin's face turned red, he didn't dare to look at Jing Shu, he lowered his head, and replied like a mosquito: "Well, that's good."

Finally, the arrangements were made, and the whole group set off.

The weather in the desert has always been changeable. It was still cool when we set off in the early morning, and it was extremely hot in the afternoon, and in the evening, there were sandstorms covering the sky and covering the ground.

Li Ling ordered the camp to be set up on the same spot. Before leaving, Li Ling ordered people to buy more than [-] camels, which were specially used to carry the tents, luggage, food and drink.

The soldiers found a good position and pitched their tents against the storm, but the dust was so heavy that it was very difficult to secure them, and they were often blown away by the roaring wind as soon as they were pitched.

Sand and rocks were flying all over the sky, and there was no place to hide. Li Ling was afraid that his little wife would be swept away by the wind, so he wrapped him tightly with his outer shirt from head to toe, and held him tightly in his arms.

When it was dark, the wind and sand became smaller, and the tent was finally pitched.

Li Ling carried his wife into the tent and took off the wrapped clothes. Seeing the little wife blowing dust all over her face, he couldn't help nagging his wife in distress: "I just said Don’t want you to come, you must be disobedient, let’s take a look, how much you have suffered, do you regret it?”

Jingshu coughed twice, spat out the sand in her throat and mouth, and said still stubbornly: "What's the matter? I'm not a person who can't endure hardship."

Li Ling opened the water bag: "Drink your saliva and rinse your mouth."

Jing Shu rinsed her mouth, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was embarrassed, at least she was covered by Li Ling's clothes. Li Ling hugged her straight into the sandstorm, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't see.

Jingshu smiled "puchi", stepped forward to help him throw the sand, and joked, "It's the first time I've seen you in such a mess."

I put up a tent and finally got a shelter from the wind, but I still couldn't slack off. The desert is the most dangerous place after dark, not to mention the legendary man-eating sand ghosts.

Li Ling ordered Zhou Jin and Liang Jin to organize the soldiers into three groups and take turns to watch the night.

At night, Li Ling thought that his little wife would not be able to sleep peacefully in such a harsh environment, but unexpectedly she slipped into her sleeping bag and fell into a deep sleep.

The wind was howling outside the tent, and a small butter lamp was burning inside the tent. He sat beside his wife, looking at her sleeping face, feeling sweet and indescribably satisfied.

The night was dark, and there was not a trace of starlight.

Suddenly, the flame of the butter lamp flickered violently.

Relying on the keen intuition of a general, Li Ling quickly picked up the ironworker and listened quietly.

After a while, he got up suddenly, rushed out of the account with a stride, and shot an arrow with his bow. With a sharp "beep", a rocket shot straight into the dark night sky, followed by a shrill scream .

"Danger! Assemble! Assemble!" The emergency horn rang through the camp, and hundreds of torches instantly illuminated the night sky.

When the soldiers recovered the "monster" shot by Li Ling, they couldn't help but gasp.

The "monster" was a few feet tall, covered with long reddish-brown hair, with a mouth full of blood, and a blue face with fangs.

It looked really creepy.

Because of being shot through the shoulder and arm by the rocket, he rolled on the ground and screamed in pain.

Li Ling and all the soldiers took a closer look. Although this thing looked weird, it also had hands and feet, a nose and eyes, and it was the same as a human in appearance.

The only difference is that his back is slender, the soles of his feet are more like duck's feet, and the toes are all connected together. It is because of this characteristic that they can "fly" while running fast by the wind.

Li Ling took off the rattan armor he was wearing, and carefully recognized that the armor was made of tendons and vines that are unique to the desert and soaked in oil and water.Therefore, an ordinary sword would not hurt anything, because what he just shot was a rocket, and the oil vine loves water and fears fire, so he shot it down.

Li Ling ordered: "Take good care of this thing. Today they failed in the sneak attack. They should be so scared that they won't come again. I will light more torches later, let him lead the way until dawn, and let's go and wipe out these ghost things in one fell swoop."

Originally, many soldiers were frightened after hearing the legend about this monster, but now seeing the general shoot down this thing with an arrow, the morale of the soldiers immediately increased.

Zhou Jin said: "I'm really ashamed. I was on duty just now. I just felt bad. I was about to shoot an arrow, but I never wanted to be preempted by my cousin in the tent."

Liang Jin still couldn't let go of what happened in the daytime. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "When you realize it and shoot him down, I'm afraid we'll all be buried in the belly of this monster."

Zhou Jin heard Liang Jin's sarcasm, and punched him: "How come you are so stingy now."

Hu Dahai was fined by Li Ling yesterday to make mud for a whole day, and now he finally seized the opportunity to redeem himself, hurriedly stepped forward and flattered him: "Then it goes without saying, the general's archery is the best in the world, hehehe, let's work together!" It can't compare to it."

Li Ling rolled his eyes at him and said coldly, "You will be on duty later."

Hu Dahai looked at Li Ling who had slipped back into the tent after throwing such words at him, scratched his head, and muttered, "The general has become so stingy now."

When Li Ling returned to the tent, Jing Shu had already woken up. The little man was curled up in her sleeping bag, squinting her eyes and asked, "I seem to have heard the sound of a horn just now, but what happened?"

It seems that such harsh conditions did not affect his little wife's good sleep. With all the commotion outside, she could still sleep so soundly.

Li Ling tucked her sleeping bag for her, and said dotingly: "Sleep, it's just a wild deer that ran into the tent and has already been chased away."

The little wife said "Oh" and rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Since there is nothing else, you can come and sleep too."

Li Ling predicted that the group of monsters would not come again, so he folded his clothes and lay down beside his wife: "I will sleep with you."

The little wife turned her head sideways, and arched into his arms. Sure enough, within a short while, there was the sound of her well-proportioned breathing.

Li Ling also closed his eyes, but the hand holding the long sword by his side never let go.

With his lovely wife by his side, he naturally wanted to be extremely careful to protect her.
