...
On the distant grassland, a hundred miles further is the boundless ice field.
It was an endless land of ice and snow that had existed for an unknown period of time and had never changed at all.
The creatures that can live in the thousands of miles of ice fields are the "aboriginals" here, and it is almost impossible for humans to survive in this permanent cold winter.
In the thousands of miles of ice fields, countless glaciers and abyss are hidden under the ice and snow. No matter how long it takes, any living thing will definitely die if it falls into them.
In the wind and snow, Tie Murong, wearing a white wolf armor, stood on the observation deck in the army, looking at the ice field with only vast white snow.
Tiemu Rong was not tall, but he had a strong figure. His handsome face did not look like a man on the grassland, but more like a handsome young man from Nanzhou, but the hidden ferocity and wildness deep in his eyes made even the six tribesmen on the grassland tremble.
Temurong's journey to ascend to the throne of Khan was not an easy one. This was the power and status he carved out with one blow.
The thick armor completely covered Temu Rong, and the white wolf head on the helmet was majestic, roaring at the wind and snow.
Half a month has passed since the glacier collapsed. The summons from the Holy Mountain Envoy made Temurong understand that this catastrophe was just the prelude.
The delay in responding to the call for help sent to Dachu made the young leader even more sad.
At this time, a woman walked up to the observation deck and stood next to Temurong. Nuo Min came to the front line with Wolf Ting's army, bringing food, grass and ordnance.
This is Xiao Jingyao's gift. Although it wasn't much, it was the limit of what Xiao Jamyao could do.
"Aha, the crown prince of Da Chu has sent a memorial to Kyoto, and he is willing to help us. As long as we persist for a while, we will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements." Nuo Min said with relief.
"Aha" is the name for elder brother on the grassland.
Temurong touched his sister's head and smiled slightly.
"I hope the Emperor of Da Chu can understand that this is not just a matter on the grassland."
Nuo Min said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, they will understand. We have been fighting continuously in the past few days, Aha will go to rest, and I will keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield."
Temurong looked at his sister. He was lucky to have this astute sister on his way to the throne. If Nuomin hadn't been born as a girl, she could have taken his place.
"Nomin, thanks to you. Aha should have done many things." Temurong sighed.
Nuo Min shook his head and said: "Aha, this is the matter of the entire grassland, not you or me, it is the catastrophe that the entire grassland must face."
Temurong looked at the endless wind and snow again and said: "In the millennium, night ghosts are born. The Holy Envoy has long predicted it. Judging from the previous battles, these night ghosts generally have the first or second level of stone-breaking cultivation. Because it is difficult for ordinary soldiers in the army to resist. Unless five or six people deal with one night ghost."
"The body of night ghosts is also extremely hard. Night ghosts with the armor-breaking realm can resist ordinary swords and guns. If this continues, our army will be far from the opponent of night ghosts. And we don't know how many nights there are in the depths of the ice field. ghost."
Temurong foresaw the upcoming battle and couldn't help but feel even more worried. In just a few days of fighting, the power displayed by Night Ghost was enough to frighten the grassland.
Tie Murong's eyes were serious, trying to see clearly what was hidden behind Feng Xue.
"Nuo Min, can our grassland survive this catastrophe?"
Nuo Min followed Tie Murong's gaze, wiped away the hesitation on his face, and nodded firmly.
"must be able to!"
"We will drive these night ghosts out of the world again just like our ancestors did thousands of years ago!"
...
In the tavern, the most common sentence Yu Zhi heard was "Fortunately, there are unlucky ghosts like Prairie Wolf Ting to resist the night ghosts."
In the eyes of the common people, if death is imminent and disaster affects the family, then everything has nothing to do with them.
In the same way, the Wanli Icefield is thousands of miles away from Nanzhou, and the war where Night Ghost is born is thousands of miles away, so why worry?
After the grasslands, there is the north. After the Northern Territory, there is Kyoto!
Nanzhou is several states away from Kyoto, and there is always someone who can stop the night ghost.
Cang Huo's foolish words made Cang Huo livid, and he just heard Cang Huo say: "What if the night ghost appears in Nanzhou? Do you still think that this catastrophe will not fall on you?"
Cang Huo's voice was as sonorous and powerful as the forged iron in a blacksmith shop, and the tavern fell into silence for a while.
The disaster originated from the distant ice field, so some people had nothing to do with it, but this catastrophe was unavoidable for all creatures in the world.
Even Yu Zhi once felt that the ice field of thousands of miles was too far away, and if the sky fell, there would always be tall people to bear it, but he never thought about what if these tall people couldn't bear it?
What if a Lingkui King like Feiying appeared in front of us?
The catastrophe cannot be avoided!
"I didn't expect that senior would care so much about the world." Yu Zhi looked at Cang Huo in surprise.
He has always felt that the sects in Shiwandashan only care about the interests of the sect and are outsiders. The world has nothing to do with them.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
Cang Huo said: "Although our sect is unhappy with the Great Chu Dynasty, since we are human beings, we must face this catastrophe together. There are no intact eggs under the overturned nest, and the world is going to be over. How can the so-called sect be immune to this alone?" ?”
Yu Zhi said sincerely: "Senior has great righteousness. In today's world, there are very few people like Senior. There are many people striving for fame and wealth in this world, and there will always be some guys with evil intentions who want to take advantage of the troubled times to harm the human race."
Yu Zhi thought of Cangshui and the two mountain cities. Every trace of night ghosts was accompanied by the shadow of the human race. Yu Zhi is certain that human beings are colluding with Night Ghost.
And those two mountain cities directly pointed suspicion at King Xiang Ji of Chu.
Yu Zhi informed Xiao Yuande of what he had discovered, but after a long time, there was still no message from the palace in Kyoto that Yu Zhi wanted.
Why do we need to consider something that has solid evidence?
If we must consider it, it is that the power Xiang Ji controls is no longer within Xiao Yuande's control.
If these things are revealed clearly, it will force Xiang Ji to embark on the road of rebellion.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Yu Zhi's lips and he asked: "Senior, if the human race building is about to collapse, what will you do, senior?"
Cang Huo took a sip of wine, thought about it, and then took another sip of wine. Probably he had never thought about this before, so he thought about it for a long time.
After finishing the bottle of wine, Cang Huo said: "You don't have to wait until that day. I am already a martial arts expert of the ninth level. If the night ghost attacks, if I don't take action, will I still let you wait for the younger generation to go up and die?"
"It's you young people who are going to be left in this world."
Yu Zhi shook his head and said: "What should be left in the world are those who are worthy of being left behind. All living beings, the elders protect the young, the strong protect the weak, this is the human race, this is the world. The ancestors from thousands of years ago died generously , in order to protect my homeland, and now I should also pursue the legacy of my ancestors."
Cang Huo was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "I thought you were just a cunning boy, sneaking around, and having bad conduct. Now it seems that you still have some ambitions!"
Yu Zhi pouted and touched his chest, where the general's armor was stored.
Someone should inherit Yun Jin’s legacy!
The night ghost on the Wanli Icefield was born, so is it only the Wanli Icefield that seals the night ghost?
Yu didn't know if he believed it or not. He looked at the sky outside the tavern. Maybe there were more night ghosts in Nanzhou.
The world is no longer peaceful.
...
Jiang Qing looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and his back felt cold. He could understand the meaning of the imperial decree, but he felt that it was impossible to do.
After struggling for a few times, Jiang Qing used four words to convince himself - the emperor's order cannot be violated!
Qiu Jinfeng knew this student very well. He was upright, studious and intelligent. The Metropolitan Procuratorate needs just such people, loyal to the Emperor of Chu and loyal to the Great Chu.
"The Night Ghost is a catastrophe. But if we can nip the catastrophe in the cradle, the catastrophe will be nothing more than a small disturbance."
"The six tribes of the grassland have been fighting against the Great Chu for hundreds of years, and countless wars have had their own winners and losers. Even the famous generals of the past dynasties have never set foot in the depths of the grassland. Your Majesty's meaning is very simple. Take this opportunity to find out. The terrain of the grassland and the army of Langting will only wait for the grassland to be pacified in the future and the grassland land will be included in the territory of Dachu."
Although Qiu Jinfeng is already in his twilight years, he still has great ambitions. He also put a lot of thought into this plan.
The Northern Border Army's rush to the rescue was also the opportunity given by the Prairie Wolf Court to Da Chu to sneak into the grassland.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of the Chu Dynasty, who wouldn't want to give it a try. If the catastrophe of Night Ghost disappears, what will remain is the struggle between Da Chu and Prairie Wolf Ting.
Jiang Qing responded in a deep voice: "Students understand!"
At this moment, in the imperial study room, Xiao Yuande was playing chess with Xiao Jingyu.
Xiao Jingyu was naturally no match for Xiao Yuande, and he lost quickly.
Xiao Yuande won several games in a row, but he didn't think it was very interesting. Chess is interesting when you meet your opponent.
Xiao Jingyu also knew that his chess skills were poor and it was difficult for Xiao Yuande to enjoy himself.
Last time, Xiao Yuande said that he would give Xiao Jingyu a chance to compete for the throne.
Xiao Jingyu kept these words firmly in his heart.
Now, he knew now was his chance to perform.
"Father, the night ghosts in the Thousand Miles Icefield are coming this time. I want to share my father's worries. Why don't you let me lead people north?"
Xiao Yuande said: "Xu Qing and the others will have to deal with the matter in the north. The Northern Army crosses the grassland, treks through mountains and rivers, and the dangers are unknown. You'd better not get involved. Besides, the situation of the Night Ghost is unknown, I'm afraid you will be there if you go dangerous."
His father was still worried about him... Xiao Jingyu was overjoyed and said, "Father, my son has been training with the King of Chu in Nanzhou and is familiar with the art of war and strategies. This trip will definitely come in handy."
Xiao Yuande looked at Xiao Jingyu who was acting actively. How could he not know what Xiao Jingyu was thinking?
"If the father is worried about the safety of his son, he can let the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun under the command of Uncle King Chu accompany him. They are all battle-hardened men, and they are ten thousand enemies. Among them, the tenth of the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun Qi Wuyou is at my house." Xiao Jingyu said.
The eighteen riders of Yanyun are worried that they cannot find you... Xiao Yuande immediately said: "Xiang Ji sent him to protect you, but he cares about you."
This is not protection, it is clearly surveillance.
But Xiao Jingyu didn't think so.
There are very few people who can be protected by the Eighteenth Cavalry of Yanyun. This clearly shows that Uncle King Chu fully supports my fight for the throne. He sent people to protect him because he was afraid that the emperor's brother would kill him secretly.
Just when Xiao Jingyu felt slightly proud, Xiao Yuande continued: "In that case, I allow you to go north. But you must not be reckless during this trip, and remember to protect yourself."
"My son understands."
After Xiao Jingyu retreated, another person walked into the imperial study.
I saw Xiao Yuande taking a white piece on the chessboard, putting it back into the chess box, and said indifferently: "Kill."
The world is not at peace, and it is even less peaceful among the royal family!
