The big ship moved down the river, and with the guards rowing hard, the entire fleet moved as fast as a galloping horse.

Ji Rushuang had trekked hard in the Nanman mountains for nearly a month before arriving near Haotian Castle, but this time it took them less than three days to return to Nanhua!

At noon on the third day, when the familiar scenery appeared in front of Ji Rushuang, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Is this here?

If Zhao Hao hadn't told her that it might arrive in two or three days and asked her to pay attention to the shore, she might have missed this most familiar landing place.

Finally, in the distance, on top of a mountain, something similar to a beacon tower appeared in front of her. It was right here, that's right.

She quickly said to Zhao Hao who was not far away: "Husband, we are here, we are here, not far ahead, please slow down the fleet quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao raised his hand and shouted without hesitation: "Stop!"

Naturally, his purpose of stopping was not to ask the guards to stop the boat, but to ask everyone to stop paddling and leave the oars sideways in the river.

In this way, it was like stepping on the brakes. After a while, the speed of the entire fleet dropped to almost the same speed as the flowing water.

When Ji Rushuang saw this, she pointed to something similar to a beacon tower on the top of the mountain and said to Zhao Hao: "Husband, look, that is our southernmost checkpoint in Nanhua. There is a very wide valley below the checkpoint. Do you see it?

Zhennan Fort is in that valley."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao nodded slightly, then pointed at the valley next to the checkpoint and shouted: "Just dock near that valley."

Of course he had seen that checkpoint a long time ago, Zhennan Fort, Ji Rushuang also mentioned it to him,

The question is, how to log in?

There is no dock near here!

Zhao Hao couldn't help but frown as he looked at the overgrown river bank.

He thought for a moment and then asked: "Rushuang, is there a dock nearby?"

pier?

Ji Rushuang said slightly embarrassed: "Well, we in Nanhua don't seem to have docks like Haotian Castle and Netherworld Valley."

I'm so dizzy, there's no dock!

Then there's no way.

Zhao Hao could only order helplessly: "All ships, anchor, Ah Hua, Ah Shan, Ah Huo, Zhao Yi, take all captains and corps commanders ashore, find a suitable location, and build a simple dock."

Do you need to repair the pier?

This is actually a bit beyond everyone’s expectations.

However, no one questioned Zhao Hao's order. As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of orders sounded among the ships.

Soon, more than 20 people jumped out of the big boats and jumped onto the river bank.

The leader was Ah Hua. She just discussed with Ah Shan and the others for a few words, then waved her hand and led half of her troops straight to the nearby dense forest. Ah Shan and the others took out their swords and began to clean up the debris on the river bank.

Grass.

After a while, there was a crackling sound from the other side of the dense forest, and the big trees there fell one after another, just like large logging machinery logging.

Ah Hua also had magical weapons in her hands, so she was naturally very fast at cutting down trees. Not long after, several personal guards came running over carrying tree trunks section by section.

Building a simple dock was just a trivial matter for Ah Hua and Ah Shan. Zhao Hao didn't even have to do anything himself. He just glanced at it briefly and then loudly ordered: "Light the fire and cook."

It's noon now and it's time to make something to eat.

The space on the ship is limited, so you can't cook whatever you want like on the shore. There is only one big pot on each ship, and there is only one brazier under the big pot. You don't have to think about barbecue and other things, you can only cook it.

Meat.

However, the boiled meat is also very fragrant, because this time they brought enough seasonings and spices, and the meat of exotic animals, beef and mutton are all specially marinated and smoked, and they have a unique flavor.

of fragrance.

Here, Ayun and Ayue were helping Achen and his men make a fire to make soup, but Zhao Hao and Ji Rushuang jumped up, came to the shore, and quickly climbed up the highest mountain nearby.

The north side of the mountain is different from the wild jungle, where there are towering trees everywhere. It is also different from the southern barbarian mountains, where there are high mountains and ridges everywhere. It is also different from the prairie, which is full of endless grassland, where there are low hills everywhere.

You can still faintly see some basins dotted among them.

Zhao Hao raised his eyes and looked for a while, then pointed to the looming city wall in the valley and asked: "Is that Zhennan Fort?"

Ji Rushuang nodded slightly excitedly and said: "Yes, that is our southernmost Zhennan Fort in Nanhua. I always set out from there to enter the Nanman mountains."

Zhao Hao asked slightly curiously: "How many people are stationed inside?"

Ji Rushuang said without thinking: "There are two thousand of our Nanhua elite inside."

Two thousand people?

Why didn't I see any of them?

Zhao Hao pointed to the checkpoint in the distance and said, "Is there anyone stationed there?"

Ji Rushuang said without hesitation: "Yes."

That would be strange.

Zhao Hao looked at the location where Ahua and the others were building the dock again, and couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face.

So many people are blatantly building docks by the river. Can't the people at the checkpoint see it?

He thought for a while but didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, they will definitely go to Zhennan Fort after unloading the horses and supplies. No matter how much you ask now, it will be in vain.

He shook his head slightly, then took Ji Rushuang and swept down the hilltop to a hillside full of green grass. He took out the magic weapon and swept it quickly, then picked up the grass and returned to the boat.

This time, Bailong's family was also brought here, including Bailong's harem. There were more than ten horses, big and small. These days, these horses basically ate hay. The reason why Zhao Hao brought some grass back was because

I want to improve their "food".

About an hour later, the meat on the ship was already cooked, and Ahua and the others had almost completed the construction of the simple dock. Zhao Hao waved his hand and asked Ahua and the others to return to the ship to eat something, and then ordered ten large ships

We pulled up to the pier one by one and started unloading.

The first ship of supplies and horses had been unloaded, and a sound of footsteps finally came from the distant direction of the valley.

After a while, two to three hundred Nanhua "elites" wearing coarse cotton clothes and holding weapons came out of the valley and ran towards them.

This reaction is really slow!

The reason why Zhao Hao felt strange just now was because the Nanhua defenders in Zhennan Fort reacted too slowly.

With such reaction speed, if the Xue Man tribe or the Nan Man tribes really united to attack Nan Hua, could they be able to defend it?

This formation, is there another formation?

Zhao Hao stood there dumbfounded, looking at the swarm of Nanhua "elites" running over, not knowing what to say.

What a mess!

He didn't speak, but he was very arrogant. When the two sides were still about a hundred steps away, a tall and strong man on the opposite side suddenly raised his hand, making everyone stop, and then shouted: "You barbarians, you don't know this place."

Is this the realm of my Taihua tribe? Those who know the truth, get back quickly!"

Faint to death, who are you calling a barbarian?

Zhao Hao looked at the messy Nanhua defenders on the opposite side, and then at his personal guards who were unloading the goods in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but secretly shook his head.
Chapter completed!
