Chapter 69.1 Five Spiritual Solid Jade Crystal
The Zhang state that seeks help from You Wuming, happened to be bordering with the Qin state that was doing bad things. It was located to the west of Qin state and north of the abyss.
When You Wuming set off with Sang Yuanyuan, the dog and the puppet, the You state’s reinforcements sent from Ji state to Zhang state were also dispatched.
This time, it just so happened that by taking advantage of this ‘Tidal Bore’ wave, they can try to test how powerful the equipment that they picked up from Huangfu Xiong’s eight thousand cavalry was.
This is the first time that the You state’s soldiers put on the spiritual armor.
It is a pity that the collected cloud beasts and beast armors still cannot be used at this time——The battle beast and the cavalryman need a long break-in period before they can go on the battlefield together. The cloud beast from You state has poor physical fitness, and the armor greatly affects its ability to move, so it’s better not to wear it.
Therefore, the You Army that was sent to Zhang state this time is a group of infantry formation wearing spiritual armors, with a total of seven thousand people.
Their marching speed is naturally not as fast as Duan Ming, which will be delayed by two days.
At noon the next day, Duan Ming briefly crossed the You state’s border and arrived at the territory of Zhang state.
The land of Zhang state is very beautiful.
It is a typical Danxia landform[1].
Walking among the rocks that seem to have been splashed with red, orange, and yellow dyes, and then looking up at the azure blue sky, it really seems that they have strayed into the world inside a painting.
The pie in Zhang state is very fragrant. It is made of a very strange soft noodle. It’s a little bit sticky in the mouth. Every bite has to exert a little bit of force and make it slightly stretched longer before it will break crisply between the teeth. The pie is filled with finely chopped roasted meat and smells so delicious. It is also mixed with some yellow or green colored seasoning herb which is the specialty of Zhang state. Every bite has a different taste.
Sang Yuanyuan ate so much that her belly bulged out a little bit.
You Wuming often travels to Zhang state, so he is already used to it since long ago. Seeing her like a squirrel, holding the pie and nibbling constantly, he feels funny in his heart. So he bought a large bag and hung it on Duan Ming’s neck, letting her slowly eat it while they were on the way.
She was already full, but couldn’t bear the taste of the roast meat, so she secretly removed the outer shell of the pie and quietly stuffed it into Duan Ming’s mouth while You Wuming didn’t pay attention, then she ate the stuffing inside.
You Wuming never allowed these messy things to be eaten by Duan Ming, and only allowed it to eat grains and grasses.
Duan Ming knew it and Sang Yuanyuan also knew it, but they just couldn’t control their own mouth.
This one person and one beast, for the sake of appetite, cooperate with each other very tacitly. One quietly stuffed it and the other secretly ate it. From time to time, it will glance at You Wuming with a guilty conscience, but then continue to secretly eat again.
Neither of them noticed that when Sang Yuanyuan handed a piece of pie to the side of Duan Ming’s mouth, and Duan Ming still turned its head smartly to pick it up, a small hand would come out behind You Wuming, patted his shoulder, and then pointed to the piece of pie that fell into Duan Ming’s big mouth from Sang Yuanyuan’s hand.
This puppet, had already learned to rat on others by itself.
“Little Mulberry, you have a good appetite.” You Wuming raised a smile on his lips and his voice floated lightly with an unknown meaning.
Sang Yuanyuan turned back and smiled at him shamefacedly: “Well… It’s delicious.”
He leaned down, and his warm breath fell on her ears as he said with a warm voice: “But I am still hungry.”
Sang Yuanyuan’s heart palpitated. Then she turned around and stuffed a whole pie into his mouth.
You Wuming bit the cake happily, and said vaguely: “I don’t want to eat this. I want to eat fruit.”
Sang Yuanyuan hugged his neck and smiled. When he couldn’t look away from her eyes while staring at her, she secretly stuffed the pie without stuffing again to Duan Ming using her hand that she put on her back.
The puppet angrily pointed its little finger to Duan MIng’s big mouth that was still chewing with a ‘kacha kacha’ sound. After pointing for a long time, it saw that You Wuming pretended not to see it. Then it turned back with anger, sat down beside Duan Ming’s tail and plucked the hair on its tail.
