Chapter 152: Panning for Sand in the River
Chapter 152: Panning for Sand in the River
There are mountains and winding canyons ahead. The road seems to have reached an end, but you can vaguely see that there are paths on both sides of the end.
"Okay, now that you've seen it, let's go back!"
Ye Qi looked at Bai Xin and urged him, saying that although they were on their own territory, it would be dangerous if Xichang suddenly attacked, and he did not want Bai Xin to take any risks.
"Oh!" Bai Xin replied reluctantly.
Although she was about to be pulled back by him, she also wanted to clarify some things.
"So do they come out from this canyon every time they attack?" Bai Xin looked at him curiously and asked.
"Well, our spies have investigated and found that every time they attacked and retreated, they came out from this canyon and then retreated from the canyon." Ye Qi explained to her without hesitation.
"So, this is the only way for them to get out of the formation and reach our border?"
"Their mountain formation is both their barrier and their obstacle."
"For us, their stone formation is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Ye Qi said lightly.
"So are you planning to attack by force?" Bai Xin looked at him worriedly.
"Well, this stalemate is definitely not a solution. There will be a war in the future!" Ye Qi nodded and answered affirmatively.
Bai Xin pursed her lips and looked back at the rugged rocks in Xichang, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Don't be afraid, Xin'er. I will wait until the situation becomes clear before making a decision. Right now, Xichang is more anxious than me. They have suffered heavy losses in their several attacks. I will wait until they are desperate before trying to attack!"
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ye Qi knew that she was worried and anxious, so he reassured her.
"Ok!"
Bai Xin nodded, but his mind was thinking about how to gain a deeper understanding of the specific structure of this stone formation, and how those Xichang soldiers were hiding in this stone formation.
"Let's go!" Seeing that she kept looking back and was reluctant to leave, Ye Qi put his arm around her shoulders and forced her to go back.
Bai Xin glanced at him lightly, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Ye Qi's hand around her shoulders tightened slightly, as if warning her that he was not keeping his word. He said he would leave after just one look, but now she wanted to stay longer. She had no idea how worried and anxious he was.
"Li Ze!"
Bai Xin was being dragged back by Ye Qi while thinking. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he thought of something. He turned around and called out to Li Ze who was following behind him.
"Let's go panning for sand in the river together!"
Bai Xin saw him coming over and leaned close to him and said.
"lady!"
Ye Qi changed his arm from her shoulders to her waist, tightened his grip and made her lean against him, looking at them and saying warningly:
"You two! Don't even think about doing anything dangerous to avoid me!"
Li Ze could only smile secretly, thinking that he was just an executor and your wife was the one who was worried.
"General!" Bai Xin consciously leaned to his side, blinked and said innocently: "I promise I won't do that this time!"
"Humph!" Ye Qi no longer believed a single word of her assurance: "What is it? Tell me first! I will make the decision myself."
"Climb high and look far!" Bai Xin said to him with shining eyes.
"Climb up high to see far?" Ye Qi was shocked: "You want to climb up?"
"Yes, haven't you trained a group of rock climbing soldiers in your army? Now is the time to test their learning results!"
"Right, Li?"
After Bai Xin finished speaking, he looked at Li Ze, as if to say, "It's time to check the results of the live-fire exercise. Are you ready?"
"No problem. Their skills are very good now. This small mountain can be easily controlled!" Li Ze patted his chest and guaranteed.
"General, what do you think?" Bai Xin then turned his head and looked at Ye Qi and asked.
Ye Qi pursed his lips and did not answer her, but he felt that climbing up high to see was indeed a good idea.
"Is it okay?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Bai Xin nudged him lightly to the side to show her dissatisfaction.
"In that case, you can't go up!" Ye Qi looked at her directly and said.
"no!"
Bai Xin frowned and looked up at him. She might not go to fight, but she still had to go for reconnaissance.
Ye Qi snorted angrily and tightened his hands around her waist. He knew that this girl would not be obedient, but he couldn't really tie her up with a rope, which made him very angry.
Bai Xin felt very proud when she saw him being humiliated.
“Then why do we need to pan for sand?”
Mo Tian listened for a long time, still confused, and finally couldn't help but ask.
The people following them also pricked up their ears to listen to the reason.
"Of course it's telescopic!" Bai Xin glanced at him and said with a smile, but she was still going to keep it a secret: "As for how to telescopically see, you will know by then!"
Feeling Ye Qi's dissatisfied eyes looking at her, she quickly raised her face to look at him and assured him: "There is absolutely no danger in doing this!"
"You can only do it in front of me!" Ye Qi warned her not to let her do the experiment alone, it was always so scary every time.
"That's no problem!" Bai Xin agreed readily.
Conducting the experiment in front of him meant that it had to be done in his camp, so that he would not drive her away, which was exactly what she wanted.
After returning to the camp, Bai Xin and his companions went straight to the river outside the city to pan for sand.
In spring and summer, the sun shines brightly on the riverbed, sparkling with starlight. Rifles are also in the water, swimming around the soldiers panning for sand, so lovely.
Bai Xin looked at the scene and wanted to take a break from the busy schedule by following Li Ze and the others to play in the water.
Just as she was about to lift the hem of her skirt and roll up her panty legs, Ye Qi stood in front of her, pulled her up with his cloak, and encircled her in his arms to prevent her from taking the next step.
"Madam!" Ye Qi whispered in her ear, "Your delicate feet can only be seen by your husband!"
Although he knew that her thoughts were different from theirs, he was still very stingy and wanted to enjoy every beauty in his heart alone!
"Hmph, feudal!" Bai Xin gave him a helpless look and snorted.
However, seeing that everyone on the riverbed except Li Ze was a person who followed feudal ethics, he had no choice but to give up.
Besides, with Ye Qi, the domineering and stingy guy here, I can't play in the water today, which makes me feel a little unhappy.
Bai Xin glared at him and said angrily, "Let go!"
She found that whenever he was not in the camp, he would openly flirt with her.
"I won't let go!" Ye Qi was very dissatisfied. She was so mean to him that he was seriously hurt. His arms around her tightened even more.
Bai Xin was helpless. When this guy started to act like a spoiled child, he was even more difficult to deal with than when he was angry. Alas, he could only coax him.
She pouted helplessly, raised her hands to hold his face, stood on tiptoes, kissed him on the face, then looked at him and asked, "Can you let go now?"
"That's better!" Ye Qi said with some satisfaction, and then reluctantly let her go.
Bai Xin, who was finally freed from his restraints, could only roll his eyes at him, secretly cursing him for being stingy and clingy.
Ye knew what she was thinking, so he took off his shoes and socks and ran to the river to collect sand and stones!
Bai Xin could only sit on the shore angrily, watching them playing in the water and panning in the sand happily.
