The journey to the north may seem instantaneous, but it is actually very difficult.

Although there are no checkpoints for soldiers going north, and there is no harassment from bandits and outlaws, the weather is always a natural threat.

Zhao Yifan and the others crossed the plains, crossed the river, and finally came to the last checkpoint to the north, that is, climbing the mountain and crossing the mountains, this kind of thing is not difficult for Zhao Yifan and them, but it is a great threat to Ye Chen.

Because he has no hands.

Of course, there are other ways to get to the north, but if you choose other routes, you will have to take a detour, which will take more time, but what they lack now is time.

If there are only two people, Zhao Yifan and Yang Yu, and there are no people in urgent need of treatment, then they don't care, because they have a lifetime to waste.

Coupled with the bleeding of Ye Chen in the past three days, his body was also very weak, and the weather became very cold, so they had to stop and camp halfway up the mountain to rest.

"Hey, okay......" At this time, Yang Yu sat by the fire, roasting her hands, and the cold air made her shiver.

And Zhao Yifan is much better, after all, his physical fitness is very good, and in addition, if he really can't stand the cold, he can also use "rage" to warm up his body.

"By the way, there seems to be extra cotton clothes in the luggage Ye Chen carried, you can make do with it, don't catch a cold, a cold in the Beishang area will kill people." So saying, Safi took out a mink coat from the small box on the side of the saddle and put it on.

Immediately, Yang Yu and Zhao Yifan put on the clothes brought by Ye Chen.

However, Zhao Yifan glanced at the cotton clothes they were wearing, and then looked at the coat that Safi was wearing, and said with a playful smile, "Hey, why don't you take off your mink, you look like we are all your subordinates!"

However, Safi snorted and replied, "Follow me, you can save yourself unnecessary trouble along the way. ”

The implication is "You should be glad that others have treated you as my subordinate"......

So they rested for the night in a cave at the bottom of the mountain, and then set out on their journey north early the next morning.

Steep hills, cold north winds, long journeys, even in such a harsh environment, they overcame little by little.

However, just as Zhao Yifan and the others were cautiously sticking to the wall and passing by a narrow aisle, the horse led by Yang Yu suddenly stepped into the air and let out a roar, "Bang!"

"Ahh

She is a person with a fear of heights, such a high place, it is already the limit for her to walk, and now there is a problem with the horse, so frightened that Yang Yu does not dare to move and sits on the ground.

"Be careful!"

Zhao Yifan, who was following behind, hurriedly held the horse's hind legs, but just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the road under the horse's right front leg standing on the edge suddenly shattered, and his feet flew into the air, his body was crooked, and he screamed and fell into the bottomless abyss.

"Ahh

Although Yang Yu quickly released the reins of the horse, she was still taken down, and she grabbed the edge with all her might, but the shattered edge told her that it would not last long.

At this time, the other three horses all "snorted" back in fear, their eyes full of fear.

And Safi's grip on the reins of the two horses was also the most dangerous, so he hurriedly shouted, "Quiet, quiet!"

And because Zhao Yifan had no experience, he had to hold the reins and talk about learning, but not only did it not work, but the horse began to struggle with it.

So he hurriedly shouted, "Why, Safi, this is not good! My horse is different from your two!

Click!

"Ahh

At this time, a conspicuous crack suddenly appeared on the edge of Yang Yu's grasp, and at the same time, it sank down, making Yang Yu directly lose his voice and shout.

And when she shouted, the two horses that had been pacified became even more irritable, and the horse in Zhao Yifan's hand directly raised its front hooves and roared and jumped.

"Wait a minute!"

Boom!

Click.

The ground, which was not very strong, was directly crushed by the disobedient horse, and then it raised its hooves again, and wanted to step on it.

Seeing this, Safi hurriedly shouted, "Push it down, or we'll all die!"

Although he was very reluctant, in order to survive, Zhao Yifan gritted his teeth, pulled the reins violently, and threw the horse down directly.

At this time, the stone that was struggling to support Yang Yu finally couldn't resist the burden and fell off directly, and Yang Yu exclaimed and fell down with the stone.

At this time, her mind went blank, and the strength of her body disappeared with the fall of the stone.

However, at the moment when Yang Yu fell, a hand stretched out, and Yang Yu only felt that the sky was spinning, and then he was pulled up by Zhao Yifan in the next second.

Yang Yu looked at Zhao Yifan blankly, obviously frightened, because at that moment just now, she herself felt that she was dead.

But she didn't fall.

But Zhao Yifan just patted the dust on Yang Yu's body and complained, "Tut-tut, if you look at you, you won't climb up by yourself!"

However, in the next second, Yang Yu suddenly sobbed, and cried out with a "wow", pea-sized tears slipped down his cheeks, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Zhao Yifan looked at Yang Yu, who was crying so sadly, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "Oh, what are you crying about, aren't you okay! Okay, stop crying." ”

As he spoke, he hugged Yang Yu, buried her head in his arms, and comforted, "Okay, don't look down, just cry like this, and follow me slowly." ”

And Yang Yu cried while crying, "Woo woo, I want to go home, I don't want to leave, I'm so tired, I'm so tired, I'm in prison, I admit it, please don't torture me, what did I do wrong? I obviously have nothing, I haven't done anything, why do you torture me? Can't you give me a good shot to kill me? I can't stand it, woo woo!"

Yang Yu cried out a lot of words in one breath, and Zhao Yifan's expression also dimmed a lot, and he suddenly became obviously contemplative.

Yang Yu's fear of heights is indeed very serious, and it is already a lot of courage for her to come here, but now that this kind of thing has happened, I am afraid that her fear of acrophobia has deepened again.

However, even if Zhao Yifan knew that it was not easy, he still said calmly, "Okay, okay, we have reached the land, there should be no abyss, don't be afraid." ”

Saying that, Zhao Yifan hugged Yang Yu's hand tighter, because the road in front of him was narrower than the road where they had an accident, and it was enough to let Safi, who was leading two horses in front of him and one in the back, pass.

So Zhao Yifan turned around and glanced at Safi and motioned him to stop, and he took Yang Yu over first, and then came back to help him.

Safi understood, so he nodded and stopped.

Ye Chen, who was following behind, asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Safei glanced at Zhao Yifan and Yang Yu in front of him, then turned around and whispered, "The road ahead is too narrow, it's too troublesome for me to lead two horses by myself, and everything is on these two horses, so I can't lose it." ”

Immediately, Zhao Yifan took Yang Yu to successfully pass through this narrow cliff, and then took her to the wall and said with a smile, "Na, it's wide enough, you have a good rest, I'll be back soon!"

However, Yang Yu sat in place, clasped his hands on his knees, and buried the whole thing in it without saying a word.

Immediately, Zhao Yifan went back again to help Safi lead the horse over, and then the three of them and two horses also passed through the cliff without danger.

After this little episode, their journey was much smoother, because there would be no such dangerous abyss.

However, Yang Yu never came out of the previous panic, and followed behind with Ye Chen silently.

After everyone walked for a while, Safi finally couldn't help poking Zhao Yifan with his elbow and said, "Alas, what's wrong with her?

For people in non-jurisdictional areas, they don't know what fear of heights is, and even if they know what it means, they don't have the concept of fear of heights, so the term is very new to them.

And Zhao Yifan glanced at Yang Yu, and then replied, "It's not a question of whether it's powerful or not, it's a psychological disease, just after fighting with some people, it's a truth that they're depressed and unstable, irritable and irritable, and they are all psychological diseases." ”

Although people in non-jurisdictions do not understand the fear of heights, they know what the traumatic after-effects of war are, because in non-jurisdictions, the last thing that is lacking is war.

So Safi nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't ask, after all, it didn't make sense to ask, because he wasn't afraid of heights.

After that, the rest of the journey was much smoother, because the only steep part of the mountain was the direction they came, and the most dangerous part of the mountain they had also passed, so the rest was simply a climb uphill and then reached the top of the snow.

As long as they reach the top of the snow, even if they officially step into the territory of the northbound region, although it is only the border, it means that they are already half of the battle.

And the road behind the snow top is to go downhill, go down slowly, and then bypass a few mountains, and after crossing the mountains and mountains, you can reach the northbound area, but this also means that the weather will become colder and colder, the climate will become drier and drier, and the problems faced by Zhao Yifan will become more and more troublesome.

And first of all, the first point is, when tearing open Ye Chen's wound, how can he avoid the wound from tearing due to the cold wind.

......

After Zhao Yifan and others went through a series of mountains and mountains, crossing the white snow-capped mountains, they finally saw the shadow of human beings for a long time.

I saw a few strings of light smoke rising in the distance, and with the noon time now, it was not difficult to speculate that there was a small group of people living there.

After a while, Zhao Yifan and the others came to this village where they learned white.

Looking at the semi-circular snow bunkers built with snow blocks, Zhao Yifan couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm a good girl, there really is such a house!"

And this exclamation also startled the rest of the village, and suddenly they all surrounded them with harpoons, knives, guns and sticks with vigilant faces.

Immediately, Safi, who couldn't see his face with a silk scarf wrapped around his face, took a few steps forward and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry everyone, we are just passing travelers, and we want to rest here, I hope you don't suggest it." ”

As soon as everyone heard that Zhao Yifan had no malicious intent, they all immediately let down their vigilance, and they all went what they should do.

"Alas, Lao Zhao, find them a place to rest, and go fishing for a while. ”

"Oh, that's good!"

It was a man with a harpoon coming up with a smile on his face and saying, "Everyone, please come with me." ”

Zhao Yifan, Yang Yu and Ye Chen subconsciously looked at Safi, but Safi nodded, led the horse and followed the man, so the three of them also followed.

The man took Zhao Yifan and the others to a small snow room in the most remote area here, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, it's okay for you to stay for a day or two, but I don't recommend staying too long, you better quickly find a big city to rest, and leave the north as soon as possible." ”

The interior of the snow room is very different from the monotonous shape of the outside, and the furniture inside is very complete, from benches to beds, and there is a fireplace on the wall of the room

However, Safi lit the fireplace in the house, took off the silk scarf on his face, and asked with a frown, "Civil strife broke out again in the north?"

The man didn't look back, just nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, it is said that the new official took office with three fires, and as soon as the king of the ironclad city took office, he directly issued an increase in materials and the collection of money, and he was unwilling at first, and began a cold war to contend with it, but as a result, he killed chickens and monkeys and directly destroyed the three big cities." ”

As he spoke, the man swept the harpoon in his hand, sighed uncomfortably, and said, "Alas, a while ago, it was a militia uprising and a bloody battle in Ironclad City to the end, but the result is also a thought of it, how could a well-prepared Ironclad City warrior lose." Now it's good, the taxes are getting higher and higher, and from time to time there are soldiers who come to patrol, and sometimes they take something with them, it's just a lot of evil!"

As he spoke, the man's expression became hideous, and the anger in his eyes was clearly visible.

It can be seen that the new king of this ironclad city is not a good thing, the people's hearts have become like this, and he is still there to sit back and relax, he is simply not a person.

However, Safi let out a calm "oh", and then asked, "I seem to have heard that the head of the Fifth Knights of the Pope is also here, doesn't he care?"

When the man heard this, he immediately shouted excitedly, "Why don't you care?" Lord Hailong went to negotiate in person, but he never came out again after entering the Iron Armored City!"

Upon hearing this, Safi's face suddenly turned cold, and the air around him began to plummet.

"Presumptuous! This ironclad city simply doesn't take our papal knights seriously!"

When the man heard this, he quickly turned his head, and when he saw it, his legs were weak and he fell to the ground with a "poof" sound, "Uh......! Is that you, Lord Safi?"

The man shouted excitedly, and at this time, Safi's face was cold, his eyes were full of anger, his fists were slightly clenched, and he asked in a deep voice, "What about the people of the Fifth Knights?

However, as soon as Safi's words fell, the man suddenly put one hand on his heart, then knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully, "Fifth Knights, Zhao He, the deputy captain of the vanguard team, reports! From now on, the entire Fifth Knights Vanguard Team will obey Lord Safi!"

This scene really shocked Safi, and even Zhao Yifan and others, who were not very cold, couldn't help but look at Safi and the man.

Zhao Yifan couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's wrong?"

However, Safi raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Yifan, and asked with some surprise, "The vanguard of the Fifth Knights is the only one left with you?"

Zhao He shook his head at first, then nodded again, and finally said, "Tsk, since Lord Sea Dragon disappeared, our Fifth Knights are really leaderless, and several team leaders have disagreements on the strategy of rescuing Lord Sea Dragon, so they acted separately, and finally led to the defeat of the Fifth Knights who were stuck in the north......

At the end, Zhao He looked guilty, and then continued to add, "The captain is missing in order to cover our escape, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead, and now the entire Fifth Knights who are going north are already like a plate of scattered sand, I am afraid that if this continues, the Fifth Knights will likely disappear." ”

Safi's forehead burst into bruises, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and then asked, "What about Divine Doctor Huo?" A few days ago, I received news from Hailong, saying that Divine Doctor Huo was going north and cured his left eye. ”

Although Safi was angry at this time, he did not forget the light responsibility entrusted to him by his idol, von Kevendish.

Although it was a coincidence to learn that Dr. Huo was in Beishan, but in the dark, Ye Chen was injured, and Feng Kevendish entrusted himself with the task of helping Zhao Yifan and them cure Ye Chen, and he always felt that this was an opportunity arranged by God in the dark.

Although Zhao He was very puzzled why Safi asked where Divine Doctor Huo was, after all, he had just given an order, and he had to obey Safei's arrangement, so he replied, "I don't know very well, but since Lord Hailong disappeared, we haven't seen Divine Doctor Huo again, I don't know if he is somewhere else, or if he has also been arrested." ”

Safi looked at Zhao He's eyes, and couldn't see that he was lying, so he turned his head to look at Zhao Yifan and said, "You also heard, the doctor may have been"

"Ah, I hear you. Zhao Yifan got up with a gloomy face and moved his neck.

How can you not hear this, but you can hear it clearly!

"I promised Ye Chen that I would definitely heal his hand, and what I promised, as long as I can do it, I must do it. As he spoke, he looked at Zhang He with a gloomy face and asked, "So what kind of bullshit is this, where is the Iron Armor City? ”
