The breeze blows on the hills, and the white clouds rise up.
Lin Ye and his group stopped on a hillside. The mountain was not high, and it couldn't even be called a mountain, but the clouds were floating on the high slope, within reach.
After leaving the camp and heading north, they should not be far from the Loufan border now.
On the way, Lin Ye took the time to meet Yu Yu Chengchang, the king of Dongbo Kingdom. Lin Ye only gave eight words of advice to this young king, but it was enough for Yu Yu Chengchang to remember it in his heart.
Do your best and don’t worry about your future.
After this battle, whether Dongbo will still be there or not, will it really become a state of Dayu? Lin Ye did not give Yuyu Chengchang an accurate answer, but these eight words seemed to carry enough weight.
Do your best to tell Yuyu Chengchang not to think about preserving your strength. At this time, you just try your best to stop Lou Fan's army. You don't need to think about anything else.
Don't ask about the future...
Naturally, Lin Ye went to help him. No matter how much he wanted to ask, he couldn't find anything. Lin Ye could ask for it for him, but he couldn't ask for it himself.
Yuyu Chengchang is a smart man, he knows what these eight words mean.
He went to work hard on the war, and Lin Ye went to ask for him about the future.
Although Lin Ye didn't explicitly say what he was going to do in the north, he did reveal one or two details. With Yuyu Chengchang's wisdom, he could easily guess that the Supreme Saint was in the north now.
Lin Ye said that to find a future for him, of course he would go to see the Supreme Saint.
Although Dayu now has a new monarch, there is no doubt that the words of the Supreme Holy Lord are still the imperial edict.
"Further forward is the Loufan border. If nothing else happens, the Loufan border is now closed. If you want to get in, you will definitely not be able to get in."
Xumi Pianruo pointed to the outline of the city gate opposite: "However, it can't stop us."
He raised his head and looked, and saw that the big bird was still circling in the sky. This time, not only Lu Junji followed, but also Nie Wuzhi.
Now, no one of the two great Lijiao disciples in Shangyang Palace wants to give up this trip to the north.
Not to mention going to find the Supreme Saint, just going around Lou Fan's territory is also very tempting for the people in Dayu's world.
If you can leave a legend in Loufan, that would be even better.
But over the years, the legendary Great Jade Warrior has been left behind in Loufan. After General Liu Jigong was killed in battle twenty years ago, there was a young man with a sword traveling north alone.
In Lin Ye's mind, the figure was still very clear, but what was clear was the back. It seemed that he could no longer see his brother's face clearly.
He was still very young when his brother left home. The most profound impression he had was that his brother picked him up before going out that day, lifted him up again, and smiled dotingly at him again.
The sun was shining brightly that day, and so was my brother’s smile.
The elder brother should know the outcome of traveling north alone, but there is no trace of sadness on his face.
If there was anything left to miss in this world, it was just the little boy he held up, the reluctance in the boy's eyes, and the boy shouting inarticulately at his back again and again... ....Cauldron.
But he still went north, alone, with a knife, a journey, and a destination.
When Lin Ye just left Wuwei County, he couldn't figure out why his brother went north alone, and why no one else went with his brother.
A while ago, after Lin Ye learned that General Liu Jigong actually died at the hands of Loutai Mingyu, he suddenly realized why all this was happening.
Because Dayu at that time was not strong enough.
Those who are not strong enough will live within the rules, and those who are strong enough can ignore the rules or even modify them.
For example, the rule that strong men in the Official God Realm cannot join the war was already broken when Loutai Mingyu entered.
But the Dayu Imperial Court has never publicized this matter. Is it true that the Dayu Imperial Court doesn’t know about it?
Lin Ye recalled that when he was in Yunzhou, his aunt Xie Yunxi didn't even know about it. Tuoba Lie must have known about it, but Tuoba Lie never mentioned it to anyone, not even to his aunt.
If my aunt knew about it, it would be impossible not to mention it to Lin Ye.
It sounds difficult to understand, but it can be explained in two words.
The country is weak.
At that time, the fact that General Liu Jigong and more than 10,000 elite troops of the cowardly army were killed in Dongbo could not be concealed.
Of course, the court did not want to hide this matter. If the people knew about it, it would arouse hatred, which was a good thing for the court.
But once the people know that Lou Fan broke the rules and sent out powerful men in the Fushen realm to kill the general Liu Jigong, what will the people think? The crowd will surely be excited.
The people will not understand why the Loufan people have broken the rules, so Dayu can't send our masters of the God-endowed Realm to take revenge?
But the court is afraid, really afraid.
Once Dayu's masters from the God-endowed Realm are invited to Loufan regardless of the consequences, it will definitely lead to an all-out war between the two countries.
At that time, Dayu was really no match for Lou Fan.
At that time, it had not been a few years since the rebellion, and it had not been long before Liu Jigong trained the cowardly army.
After the rebellion, although Xie Fuwei secured the emperor's throne, in fact, he only had one and a half generals at his disposal.
One is Liu Jigong, and the other half is Tuoba Lie.
Regardless of the manpower, material and financial resources, Dayu could not compete head-on with Lou Fan.
Therefore, Dayu, who suffered a loss, could only choose to pretend that he did not know that the other party had broken the rules.
They didn't publicize it, didn't deal with it, and even just told the people that the cowardly army was wiped out because the enemy burned the mountains, and they didn't dare to investigate why such a thing happened.
At that time, Dayu was in a precarious situation.
If the people really knew that the reason why the Cowardly Army was annihilated was because of internal and external collusion, it was not only the Loufan people who broke the rules, but also the betrayal of their own people...
At that time, even the Supreme Saint could only choose to endure.
So later he went to Loufan.
He could endure it for a while, but with Xie Fuwei's character, how could he endure it forever?
The forbearance he chose out of necessity will turn into the revenge he takes personally today.
Lin Ye guessed this after learning the truth about the general's murder. To be honest, he didn't blame the emperor. He could feel the anger and aggrievedness in the emperor's heart at that time.
As Liu Jigong's friend, the emperor's approach was obviously not good enough, but as the emperor, Xie Fuwei's choice was correct enough.
However, as a friend, Xie Fuwei didn't do a good job, but was he really less painful, sad, and angry than others?
In the next twenty years, the emperor moved forward step by step, sending an opponent to hell with each step, in preparation for revenge for the humiliation suffered that day.
Until now.
"You will enter Loufan in groups by flying bird."
Lin Ye stood on the high slope and took a picture. Ye Qilin said, "You can find a place to play by yourself, or you can go back to Yunzhou."
Zhaoye Qilin chirped a few times, seemingly understanding Lin Ye's words. It turned around and ran down the hillside without any hesitation.
Ning Haitang seemed to have thought of what Lin Ye was going to do, so she took a step closer to Lin Ye.
"I can just go by myself."
Lin Ye said: "You guys wait for me inside Loufan Pass."
Ning Haitang said: "I know what you want to do, so I can't let you go by yourself."
Lin Ye smiled: "You know what I want to do, but there are still many things you don't know."
He said: "When I was four years old, my eldest brother walked out of the house with a knife. He turned back and smiled at me, as if the sun was shining on my face, but to this day, I can still feel the glare of the sun. .”
When the sun dazzles your eyes, you will shed tears.
"He said, eldest brother is going to do a big thing. That is where eldest brother must go. You will also have places you must go in the future. I know you don't understand. You are still giggling, but eldest brother hopes you remember. .”
"Some things really can only be done by yourself... I will do what I have to do now, and you have to do what you have to do in the future."
Lin Ye said: "That's probably it. Although my memory has been ridiculously good since I was a child, it is still impossible to remember these words word for word."
"You go and wait for me."
Lin Ye put on a bamboo hat, and the quicksand formation knife separated from his armor. He held the knife in his arms and walked towards Lou Fan's border gate.
Ning Haitang took a step to follow, but was stopped by Xumi Pianruo.
"That's his heart."
Xumi Pianruo said: "Let him resolve the knot in his heart."
Ning Haitang stopped and looked at the back with blurred eyes.
Half an hour later, Lin Ye walked to the gate of Loufan's small border city.
As expected, the city gate was closed.
Although the Loufan people still don't know what happened on the Dongbo battlefield, and they don't know what will happen to their millions of troops who left their homes in a mighty way, but they know that Loufan has now reached a very critical moment.
Since the founding of the country for thousands of years, Lou Fan has never been in such danger as it is today.
The border was closed, no entry or exit was allowed, and it was heavily guarded, but they had no time to make the border bigger, higher, and stronger.
In fact, because no foreign enemy has attacked Loufan for thousands of years, the border town looks a bit dilapidated.
The proud Loufan people still don't believe that anyone can attack the doorstep of the Loufan Empire.
This border city, which had existed for who knows how many years, looked like its walls were mottled and not very high, and the number of defenders on the walls didn't seem to be that many.
The battle flag that was supposed to symbolize the majesty and pride of the Loufan Empire had lost its color, and there were even burrs flying around the edges.
There are not many heavy defensive weapons visible on the city wall. Standing below and looking up, all that can be seen are the Lou Fan border troops whose clothes are almost the same color as those on the city wall.
They were also looking down, as if they didn't understand why someone would appear here alone.
Wearing a set of black clothes, a bamboo hat, and holding an unsheathed long knife in his arms, he looked like a charlatan.
A man from the rivers and lakes who dares to come here to provoke Lou Fan's border troops, what else can he be but a lunatic?
"Who are you!"
Captain Lou Fan shouted loudly towards Lin Ye, with a condescending air in his voice.
Yes, no matter what, they are also Loufan people, Loufan border troops, and noble imperial warriors.
"I am a beauty."
Lin Ye actually answered this question very seriously.
These four words made all the Loufan people on the city wall nervous, inexplicably nervous, even if there was really only one person under the city wall.
After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Lou Fan seemed to understand something and started laughing.
He asked: "Are you here to surrender!"
He asked of course.
Their millions of troops have already moved south. When they came out of the customs, they all saw what a mighty team it was and what a domineering expedition it was.
Now a beautiful woman appeared alone outside the Loufan border. Apart from thinking that this person was here to surrender, he couldn't think of any other reason to turn the beautiful woman into a madman.
Seeing that Lin Ye didn't answer, the captain shouted again.
"Are you here to surrender on your own behalf, or on behalf of the Jade Kingdom's court?"
Lin Ye raised his head and answered his question in the most solemn tone.
But that's not the problem.
It was a question that the captain didn't ask... Why are you here alone?
Lin Ye said: "Twenty years ago, the Loufan people broke the rules and sent out a strong man in the God-endowed Realm to assassinate a general in Dayu."
Colonel Lou Fan was stunned by these words.
In fact, even he didn't know what Lin Ye was talking about, who the powerful man in the Fushen Realm was, and who the person who was assassinated was.
"I don't care what nonsense you are talking about, I am warning you now, if you don't leave, I will order you to be shot!"
He said loudly: "Jade, you will never be qualified to come here, and you will never be qualified to be close to the territory of the Loufan Empire."
Lin Ye said: "You are wrong. A beautiful woman came here twenty years ago. The reason why I came today is the same. He came here in the same way at that time."
Lin Ye raised his sheathless sword.
"Today, the monks from Dayufu Divine Realm will go to the appointment that was twenty years overdue."
One knife!
