After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chapter 258 Emperor Xisha’s Dream
The servant did not dare to accept it directly, "General Wei La, what kind of bracelet is this? How should I tell the eldest lady?"

"This is an ancestral jade bracelet from the Wei La family. It is only passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law. I will give it to Miss Wang today as a return gift from my purse."

The servant secretly smacked his tongue, this gift seemed too expensive, and was it appropriate for the eldest lady to accept it?

Without waiting for the servant to say anything else, Wei La Changtai solemnly clasped his fists and left quickly.

Wei La Changtai was on his way back. He smiled as he walked, and in his heart he began to enjoy the days spent together with Wang Baozhi.

On the Xisha Kingdom's side, Li Youwei has defeated eight cities in a row and will soon reach the capital of the Xisha Kingdom.

In the camp, Li Youwei was looking at the sand table. The flags of Nanchen Kingdom were planted in many places on it.

Zhou Tengfei reported on the situation of the soldiers on the side, "General Li, the soldiers are tired after fighting for such a long time. Do you want to camp here to rest for a few days?"

The place where Li Youwei and others are now is called Fengcheng. It got this name because of the strong winds blowing all year round.

The wind and sand will be bigger as you go to the west, so it is better to rest here.

"How many days will we have enough food and grass?" The further west we go, the slower the supply of food and grass becomes. This battle is more difficult than Li Youwei expected.

"If we go back to the general, we can still survive for half a month."

When marching and fighting, food and grass are the most important. If people don't eat food and horses don't eat forage, how can we fight this battle?

If the supplies from the rear are delivered on time, half a month will be more than enough. The most feared thing now is an accident.

After fighting against the Xisha Kingdom, Li Youwei realized that something was wrong, because they were defeated too easily, as if he deliberately lured them into the bait.

Therefore, I am afraid that this food and grass will not be delivered so easily. There is only one way now, keep fighting and capture the Xisha capital as quickly as possible.

"No, I'll be on my way tomorrow."

"Yes." Zhou Tengfei had doubts, but he would not question it. As long as General Li said it, it was correct.

Lu Jinkang, who was far away in the capital of Xisha, was playing chess with Emperor Xisha.

Emperor Xisha paused and teased the man opposite him with a smile, "Jinkang, you went to Nanchen and met someone you liked?"

Lu Jinkang waited for a moment before returning, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing me. Is it possible that I didn't protect Gu Suyue well?"

Speaking of Gusu Yue, Emperor Xisha curled his lips and said, "He's just a fool. How could I blame you for him? But I heard that you went to say goodbye to the eldest princess when you left. You have fallen in love with her."

Emperor Xisha mentioned this, and Lu Jinkang couldn't continue to fool him, so he admitted it generously.

"Your Majesty, I do like her, but don't worry, I won't ruin your great cause."

After listening to Lu Jinkang's words, Emperor Xisha laughed loudly, "It is human nature for a man to love a woman. Besides, your liking for her does not conflict with our great cause. The moment Nanchen is captured, it will also be the time for you to embrace this beauty. .

Besides the eldest princess, whoever you like, I will reward you with it. "

"Your Majesty, I only need her."

Emperor Xisha nodded, "Okay, then give the rest to my Xisha soldiers.

But I will keep Li Youwei and enjoy it slowly. I am looking forward to the day when I conquer such a powerful female general. "

After hearing Emperor Xisha's words, Lu Jinkang said disapprovingly, "Your Majesty, Li Youwei is a general. You must not humiliate her like this."

"Hmph, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. She has killed so many of our Xisha soldiers. It would be great if I could spare her life."

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Emperor Xiwei loves her dearly. If you really touch her, I'm afraid you will become Emperor Xiwei's enemy." "Jinkang, your courage is getting smaller and smaller, even if Emperor Xiwei wants to be my enemy at all costs for a woman, but that also depends on whether he is a rival.

After strangulating Li Youwei's team, we will fight all the way to the capital of Nanchen Kingdom. After Nanchen Kingdom belongs to us, won't it be easy to deal with a small Dongzhou? "

"Your Majesty, don't think too easily in everything. It's better to be cautious."

Lu Jinkang was a little helpless. His Majesty's arrogance would sooner or later harm him.

Emperor Xisha overturned the chess table in dissatisfaction, "I don't like those who are timid. Okay, you go down. You must capture Li Youwei as quickly as possible."

"Yes." Lu Jinkang knew that Emperor Xisha was really angry, so he did not dare to persuade him any more and had to retreat.

Li Youwei was afraid of long nights and many dreams. The army would march rapidly during the day, so he would camp to rest at night.

Not only was it difficult to travel in the desert because of the wind and sand, but it was also difficult to identify the direction. In order to solve this problem, Zhou Tengfei grabbed several locals from the captured cities to serve as guides.

With a guide showing the way, Li Youwei and others were getting closer and closer to the capital of Xisha Kingdom. As long as they crossed the desert in front of them, they could see the gate of Shacheng.

The guide looked at the desert in front of him, his calves trembling, "Generals, this desert is also called the Desert of Death. Even if we go in, we can't tell the direction."

Another guide agreed, "Yes, if we go in, we will die. The sand here can eat people."

Shacheng relied on this natural barrier to become one of the four major countries. It was truly easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Since people in Shacheng can come and go, why can't we?" Having come this far, Li Youwei had no way of turning back.

As she expected, the food and grass sent by Nanchen Kingdom had not arrived for a long time, and it must have been intercepted by someone sent by Lu Jinkang.

She can only move forward now. As long as she takes Shacheng, food and grass will not be a problem.

The two guides trembled even more. "Back to General, the people in Sand City can come and go freely because they have raised a kind of bird specially used to lead the way. As long as you follow the bird, you can successfully cross the desert."

"Where can I get that kind of bird?" Zhou Tengfei asked urgently.

"Only people living in Shacheng have this kind of bird. We have only heard of it but have never seen it."

Li Youwei knew that the guides were not lying. She waved her hand to Zhou Tengfei to take them down, looking at the boundless desert in front of her.

The wind and sand hurt their faces, and their mouths became even more dry, but they didn't have much water, so they had to drink sparingly.

"General, if we wait here for the people from Sand City to come out, can we get that kind of bird?" Zhou Tengfei put forward his own idea.

Li Youwei shook his head, "Lu Jinkang must have closed the city gate tightly and not allowed anyone to come in or out. He will not give us this opportunity."

Zhou Tengfei clenched his fists, "He is really insidious."

"It doesn't matter. As long as the sun, moon and stars are there, we can find the direction, notify us, and enter the desert."

"Yes." Zhou Tengfei was inspired by Li Youwei's momentum and immediately regained his confidence.

The army entered the desert in great force, and Li Youwei finally walked out of the desert on the fifth day based on the positions of the sun and the North Star.

Although many soldiers were lost, the results were much better than expected.

Several guides admired Li Youwei. This general had such a strong sense of direction that he was even better than the locals.

Lu Jinkang was standing on the city tower and looking out, when he saw a procession with flags waving heading towards Xisha City.
