Winter seems to favor the Northland more, so it is not supposed to be a month when snow falls. Outside the Beiyanze Pass, it snows all over the sky. The big swamp is gradually freezing, and it has been miles away from the shore. The waves in the big swamp are frozen, like white waves hanging in the air. In the mid-air a few feet away from Daze, they condensed into one place and there was no movement. The heavy snow fell on the border, making it even more lonely and cold. No matter how strong a martial arts practitioner was, he could not stay in the snow for too long and his hands and feet would feel cold and itchy, but this year he wrapped himself in warm clothes. When the winter snow fell, it was already much better than in previous years. Somehow, countless warm clothes for winter and cold-warming spirits were brought from Shangqi, who had never been here before. Qingpingjun repeatedly issued orders and warned that no one should be allowed to do anything casually in the army. Drinking wine, but now the eyes are still half-open. Before the monsters in Daze break through the ice and rush through the barrier, I often take a few sips of wine to warm up, but mostly ignore it.
The Shang Qi Dynasty has always had nothing to do with all the affairs in Beiyanze. It has never sent anyone to Beiyanze, and it does not recognize that the people on the border of Beiyanze are the meritorious officials who stopped the demon tide. It does not mention it at all. , the people know very little about it, and only the sparse residents very close to Beiyanze know that there is such a group of hard-working people in Beiyanze who are guarding the pass to death. They are not included in the military formations of the nine countries in the world, and they are nothing. They have good bows and strong crossbows, and many of them have damaged attire and weapons on their waists. They have not changed them for many years, but I don’t know what these people are guarding. Are they the barbarians from the wild wasteland outside the pass, or those who have heard countless stories about them? A great demon that I have rarely seen before.
But this time, it was the first time that Qi went to Beiyanze, which was thousands of miles away, to open up the treasury. In addition to grain, rice, wine and clothing, there were nearly a hundred horses, good bows and crossbows, antlers, swords and guns, and even some There are about a dozen large items that even Qingpingjun cannot name. They are all covered with linen. They have not been counted yet, so they still don’t know what items are hidden among them.
This coming to help is undoubtedly a timely help to the people of the entire Beiyanze border area. Everyone is raising their spirits, even if no one wants to say, whether the Shangqi will be willing to regard Beiyanze as a border area in the future. I live on the border, but I have a wish in my heart. The monster offensive outside Beiyanze is becoming more and more fierce. Although a lot of manpower has been added before, it still loses a lot during wars. There is no running water to fill the source. Sooner or later, this canal will be empty, but if the Qi inside The Emperor agrees that with the power of the whole country, even if there are some ordinary military personnel, the border can be maintained for a longer period of time. Maybe it can really survive the tide of monsters bred in the vast swamps thousands of miles away from Beiyanze. Not to mention returning home in rich clothes, at least There is still a slim chance of leaving alive.
It's snowing heavily today again, but the tents are much warmer than in the past. It's rare for the rich to be wealthy. For those old tents that were damaged and leaking, Lord Qingping was very proud. With a wave of his hand, he removed the old tents and replaced them with new ones. The new tents that were delivered by Qi Qi no longer have to suffer from the pain of having trouble sleeping and eating, enduring hunger and cold.
Mr. Qingping has not shown up in the past two days, so the task of counting the objects has to fall on Yun Yiliang and Liu Qing. Jiang Banlang has always had no interest except when monsters come to attack him, so he hides in the tent and drinks. , it was rare to have a taste of the drinks sent from Shang Qi, so he slightly changed his mind, and of course he became the hands-off shopkeeper, leaving all the current troubles to the two of them.
Since Liu Qing stepped into this place, she has become more and more proficient in formations. No matter how big or small formations are at her fingertips, she is still very capable. Except for the fact that she often looks pale due to exhaustion of her inner energy, she has never suffered much damage and her temper is still the same. As in the mountains, there is rarely a time to refuse. It really takes care of Yun Yiliang and Qingpingjun who are originally very weak. No matter how big or small the matter is, as long as Liu Qing is found, they will most likely accept it readily. , working tirelessly.
"At the end of the day, the items in the last cart have been inventoried. There are probably enough arrows and feathers, and most of them are finely made. There are not many defective arrows. If you save some, you can wait until the war is over. It can be used for a long time, and it can be used for a long time. It must be placed on the top of the city as soon as possible, along with dozens of hard crossbows. With this object to stop the evil spirits, at least many fewer people will be injured in each battle. This time, all the crossbows are really delivered. It costs a lot of money to come up with a good medicine.”
Liu Qing finished counting the items and spoke kindly to the soldiers of Shangqi who left the tent escorting the car. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and walked directly to Yun Yiliang's tent. When she finished speaking, she realized that she was clearly in front of him. After passing out the new tents, Yun Yiliang's old tent was still not replaced. There was draft from all sides, causing the lights in front of the man's eyes to move randomly. "As expected of a scholar who cultivates formations, he can do this kind of counting things much faster than me." Yun Yiliang knew that it was Liu Qing who came to the door. He raised his eyes and smiled, but there was really no smile on his smiling face. He said with great reluctance, "Shang Qi must have spent a lot of money this time, but you might as well think about what Lord Qingping gave Shang Qi, a tiger talisman that can control nearly the entire country's military power. If he really uses it, Well, the price cannot be settled with such a small amount of things. Furthermore, in fact, these items are not the most lacking at the border here. After so many years of hard work, the urgent need is still insufficient manpower."
Both of them knew it well, but they both knew that even if they asked for it, Shang Qi would definitely not send his generals here to die in vain. Even now, the Sage has always valued civility over military affairs, but he still knows that this place is a Shura field. Among the generals, It is also a dangerous place where such practitioners are sent to wither away. It will definitely shake the whole country. Moreover, it must be difficult to hide the incident in Beiyanze for so many years. It will be harmful to expose the incident in Beiyanze to the world. Useless.
"Let's not go into the digression. Ever since Chu Heng lost his arm in the battle with Jiang Banlang, his energy and spirit have always been a bit out of place, and his behavior has been slightly abnormal. I have nothing important to do, so I might as well go and take a look. Your formation skills are unparalleled. If It would be best if he can help. If you can't help, let him retreat to the city for a while to recuperate." Yun Yiliang's complexion is not much better than that of Liu Qing, who has always been a little pale. Qi sent a lot of supplies. His face became slightly brighter, and when he mentioned Chu Heng, he frowned deeply. He raised his hand to extinguish the light, tied up his clothes again and again, and then walked out of the tent.
Chu Heng was also acquainted with Liu Qing, and he was an old friend of Qing Pingjun and Yun Yiliang. When they were young, they had traveled together in Jianghu. He was very talented in cultivation, but he was very impatient. Because of my temperament, it is easy to go to the immortal family on the mountain that is not famous everywhere. I can only cultivate to the second level and then find it boring. Listening to his own words, he said that even the birds on the bird mountain were not willing to move or move their nests. There were a few old birds with most of their feathers fallen off, and even their wings were shrunk into two useless pieces. Everyone was very depressed. , except that practice is practice, even when it is rare to go down the mountain, you have to talk about practice, and you can't have a hearty fight with other practitioners elsewhere. Often when you meet, you will sit cross-legged and say that it is better to sit down and discuss the Tao than to be vulgar. After a fight, I couldn't bear it anymore and then I went down the mountain.
After going down the mountain, Chu Heng came to the north Yanze Pass. Although he was not very qualified, he had no time to spare during the war. He rushed to the front and killed monsters with his second realm cultivation. He was not inferior to others, and because He is astute and can often see what is going on in the field. He can lead several people into the field and make great achievements many times.
The battle in which Jiang Banlang lost his arm was undoubtedly the most dangerous melee in recent times. The city collapsed in six places and many people died. All the twenty or thirty men that Chu Heng usually led died. , but it was only because of the twenty or thirty people who sacrificed their lives to stop the monster that they did not let the monster cross the city gate. Jiang Banlang, who also lost an arm and was almost in danger, snatched him back from the front. He must be the first to succeed, but since that day After that, Chu Heng behaved very strangely. Even though Qing Pingjun forcibly kidnapped a wise doctor on his way back to Qi Capital, he never found out the crux of the problem. He only said that his mood was damaged and there was no good medicine to cure it.
When entering the tent, Liu Qing was in front. As soon as he entered the door, he was bitten on his left arm by the crazy Chu Heng. However, Liu Qing didn't say anything. He just tapped his fingers with his right hand twice to start the formation. It was not until after a few breaths that Chu Heng slowly He let go and fell to the ground, his hair unkempt and his eyes dull. Liu Qing was unprepared and his left arm was already bleeding. Even if a person from the four realms has not cultivated his body, he is still better than ordinary people, but there is still blood dripping at this moment. , which shows how much force Chu Heng used.
"Don't bother, this kid is crazy, and the formation is probably useless. It's better to ask him to go to the city first and rest for a while before talking about anything else."
A man stood up in the tent with bloodstains on his face. He held a wine bottle and lit a lamp. Then he sat down by himself and looked at Liu Qingyun Yiliang. "It seems that I am just counting the things. I have nothing to do. Otherwise, why would I have the time to come here?" This hangout.”
Jiang Banlang hadn't shown up for a long time, but he was always in Chu Heng's tent, which really surprised Liu Qing and Liu Qing. The latter also knew what they were thinking, waved his hand and said calmly, "If he didn't bring it with me last time, A group of brothers risked their lives and faced several big monsters who were no less powerful than me. They lost an arm. We may not be able to escape. I am indeed carefree and rough on weekdays, but we are not the ones who don't know how to show mercy. The bastard of Tu Bao, Chu Heng is going crazy today, so he needs to be taken care of, and at the worst, he has to let people out of his depression, right?"
The clouds are also cool and the willows are silent.
Chu Heng stood up again and was still crazy. Even though Liu Qing stood up, he still couldn't regain his consciousness. He mumbled something vaguely and stood up again. When he saw Jiang Banlang, he walked forward and stumbled and punched him. Another punch hit the latter's spine. Liu Qing was about to stop him, but Jiang Banlang shook his head at Liu Qing and continued drinking.
What Chu Heng was talking about was why the lives of the four realms were more valuable than others.
Outside the city gate, two riders came slowly, one was a man and the other was a woman holding a sword.
The commander in the handsome tent did not wear the brocade with phoenix pattern. He repaired the old tent with the help of a solitary lamp. The stitches were fine. He looked like a commander sitting at the border. He often inadvertently looked up at the brocade with phoenix pattern hanging in a conspicuous place. Handsome. The tent was dilapidated and ventilated everywhere, and the brocade of the body was swaying like a fire, like a caged red bird. Perhaps in a daze, I had exchanged cups with my nephew, saying that I would be the emperor next year, and I also wanted to use the square tiger talisman to do something scandalous that is not uncommon in the past.
Perhaps this is a desolate old land, where people are like wheat under sickles, and thoughts are like gullies and ice prisons.
