Galloping horses cut through the cold wind and snow. Dark skin, burly figure with a scimitar and light armor. The Chinese people who have lived in the Ji Dynasty since childhood seem a little short in the eyes of these Northern Desert people.

Because of this, the Northern Desert warriors who wore the armor of the Chiyan warriors could be said to have no sense of disobedience. However, the reality is that not everyone is qualified to wear the armor of the Akayan samurai. After all, it was a relic of the "Heroic Warrior" who believed in the god of daylight.

Compared with those horses in Dongzhou, the war horses of the Northern Desert are also the same as these Northern Desert people, tall and strong. This will also mean that the war horses of the Northern Desert will be able to wear heavy armor that the war horses of the Eastern Continent cannot wear.

But in order to reach his destination on time, Mungo did not choose to do so. He chose to coat the horses that had followed them from the northern desert south in light armor, and then brought more supplies with him.

As the old saying goes, "Before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first".

After learning of the fall of Yaoguang City, Yun Fan, after a preliminary assessment of the current battle damage and casualties of the Thousand Thunder Country with Gu Yina, was expected to surprise the Thousand Thunder Country immediately after the fall of Yaoguang City. This also brings a rare time as a buffer for their next layout.

Compared with the harsh living environment of the Northern Desert.

The snow in Jibei now is nothing to Meng Ge and the others, who set off as the advance troops. Except for the slightly heavy snow, it basically doesn't have any effect. This also allows them to reach their destination so quickly and set up camp.

Right now, Mongo was standing in the wind and snow staring at the burning Star City in the distance. Behind him, the "Shuofeng" Iron Cavalry of the Sa Department who came with him, under the guidance of Xin Zaima, was building military tents and arranging supplies in the manner of the Dongji people.

Before leaving, Guyna systematically taught Sinzaima how to operate and made reasonable arrangements. Sinzaima, who has never had a good memory, wrote down all the things that Guina said on a sheepskin that she carried with her, and then taught them step by step according to what was written on the sheepskin.

The process must be a little slow, and if they had traveled with a long-cherished countryman, it might have been much faster. But according to the speed of their march, it is estimated that the Shuguo may freeze to death halfway through.

To put it bluntly, Mongo doesn't like to be dragged down.

Not anyone. This is due to his personality, and it is precisely for this reason that Mungo has always liked to be alone, just like "hidden". However, unlike Hidden, Mungo is a warrior, while Hidden is an Assassin.

If the animals of the northern desert are compared to Mongo, the wolf is the best symbol. Sinzaima resembles a leopard, Akzati is an eagle soaring through the sky, and Hidden is a lizard that changes with its environment.

As for Yun Fan, he was the one who tamed them.

As a family that has been loyal to Sabe for generations, the Montessori family has retained the most original surname. Legend has it that the barbarian king of the Northern Desert in the past, Asalanti, was a descendant of the Li clan of the Ember Dynasty, and later Emperor Mu Jing of Jiwu seized the world of the Li clan. The remnants of the Liclan fled to the Northern Desert under the escort of their retainers, which gave rise to the later Ten Marquis of the Northern Desert.

The difference is that the Asaranti bloodline is directly inherited from the Ember Emperor Lishen, while the Montessori clan is only loyal to the Li's lineage. No matter how many ups and downs this line has experienced in the following centuries, they have always followed it steadfastly.

This also made the Mengshi clan also suffer a bloody suppression after the destruction of the Sa tribe, and in the process became the slaves of the Ten Marquis of the Northern Desert. It wasn't until Yun Fan later went to the Northern Desert that he broke the shackles that imprisoned them.

Tall figure, dark complexion, strong physique. Even after hundreds of years, some characteristics of the Chinese can still be seen on Menggo's face. Compared with those natives of the Northern Desert, Menggo's eyebrows and eyes are as delicate as those of the sons from the Dongzhou family, but he has never liked to take care of himself, which also causes him to look like a middle-aged man with vicissitudes of life now.

A mouth full of beards, always frowning. His deep eyes are always looking at strange things, so that others can't guess what he's thinking. The posture as straight as the barrel of a gun, straight into the wind and snow. On the face that seems to have been shaved by a knife, the high bridge of the nose looks like a mountain that has never been conquered.

If he is willing to shave his beard, even in Dongji, it is not an exaggeration to describe him with a sentence of "great appearance". Unfortunately, Mungo didn't like shaving. In the previous story, there were all kinds of rumors and interesting stories about Emperor Mu Jing's army, one of which was that Mu Jing couldn't stand the so-called "body hair and skin, and parents of the Ember Dynasty", so Mu Jing after the establishment of the Ji Dynasty began to "change customs".

As a "remnant" of the Ember Dynasty, Mungo retains some of the traditions of the Ember Dynasty. Although he often cuts his nails now, his beard is basically not shaved. A beardless man is as annoying to him in the eyes of a man as a eunuch. This is also the reason why he doesn't like to deal with the Chinese people of the Ji Dynasty very much.

At this time, the busy Sinzaima noticed that Mungo had been standing in the wind and snow for a long time, so she quickly gave the sheepskin in her hand to one of the generals who accompanied her, and walked straight to Mungo to ask him what he was doing.

Sinzaima's steps were so light that there was no way to spot them if you didn't listen closely. At this moment, she is like a leopard approaching its prey. However, just as she was about to reach out and pat Mongo on the shoulder, Mongo easily dodged it.

"What's the matter, speak. ”

The ruthless man asked Sinzaima coldly.

Sinzaima was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "It's nothing else, I'm just curious about what you're doing standing here alone." ”

Mungo did not answer Sinzaima's question.

Sinzaima followed his gaze into the distance, the City of Dots that was burning with flames. After a moment of silence, Sinzaima sighed, "How long has it been, and this Star City is still burning. ”

"It's an ancient city, after all. Meng Ge said lightly, "If it is divided according to the geographical location of the Ji Dynasty, my ancestral home should be in that Dian Star City that was ignited by the fire. ”

Sinzaima was surprised: "Are you Chinese?"

Meng Ge said lightly: "It used to be, but now it is not." ”

Xin Zaima frowned: "No wonder when I first came to Shuguo, I always felt that those Chinese people looked as if they had seen them somewhere. ”

After hearing this, Meng Ge smiled: "It's all one nose, two eyes, two eyebrows and one mouth, even if there is a difference, how big can it be? If you really want to study it carefully, we Beimo people are born tall and burly, which these Chinese people in Dongzhou can't envy at all." ”

Sinzaima sighed: "But they are really good-looking, both men and women. Especially when you wear those beautiful clothes, you are like the immortals in the primeval mythology!"

Mungo: "You're no worse than them in those clothes." Be confident, Sinzaima. ”

After receiving Menggo's praise, Sinzaima looked at this "big brother" who was only two years older than herself, and said suspiciously: "You're not 'flattering' me, are you?" ”

"Flattery?"

Mungo looked at Sinzaima suspiciously.

The word "flattery" is not found in the Northern Desert. At this moment, the two were communicating in the language of the barbarians. So when Sinzaima was pronouncing the word in barbarian, it might have been a bit of a problem with the pronunciation, so Mungo didn't understand what she was saying.

Sinzaima corrected: "It's just pandering!"

When Meng Ge heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Who have you ever seen me cater to?" But to be honest, I prefer to see you wear the current armor than to see you wear the clothes of the Chinese people in Dongzhou. ”

Sinzaima was puzzled: "Why?"

"Because the clothes of those Dongzhou Chinese people are not worthy of the best warriors of our Sa Division. It will only make you tied up and look a little nondescript. As he spoke, Mungo turned his gaze back to the burning Star City in the distance, "And, you have to remember one thing. No matter what we do or how we change, we will always be uncivilized barbarians in their eyes. This is the deep-rooted inferiority of the Chinese people in Dongzhou. So, I'm not pandering to you, but I also hope you can understand that they are not noble. ”

Sinzaima: "Did I cater to them?"

Meng Ge didn't answer her words, but said lightly: "Whether in terms of physique or strength, we Northern Desert people are better than them, which is why they have been so jealous of us since ancient times. ”

Sinzaima: "According to what you say, then why did our army in the Northern Desert never set foot on the Gulong Pass before the appearance of the prince?"

"If our White Wolf King Asalanti hadn't died back then, perhaps this land would have been the sphere of influence of our Northern Desert Sa Department by now. Speaking of this, Meng Ge suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that we, the people of the Northern Desert, are not as united and cunning as their Dongzhou people. ”

Sinzaima wanted to refute, but held back.

From the conversation with Mongo, she could feel Mongo's strong hostility towards the Chinese people in Dongzhou. Originally, she had heard Lu Yuan's Lu Weixian, and Mr. Lu had said that pride and prejudice were the common enemies of the human race, not each other with different skin colors.

Xin Zaima agrees with Lu Weiwen's opinion, and at the same time, she also understands that with just her own words, there is no way to change the "sophisticated" big brother in front of her. Although she and Mongo are the same six generals of the Sa Division, Mongo, who is only two years older than her, does have much richer experience than Sinzaima.

So in order to avoid embarrassment and conflict, Sinzaima changed the conversation and asked Menggo something else: "By the way, where did you go in the almost two months that you disappeared?"

Mungo frowned at Sinzaima: "Why did you suddenly ask me this?

Sinzaima was asked by Meng Ge like this, and suddenly her face was hot, "What, you can't even ask?"

Mungo asked rhetorically, "Didn't the military tell you that I was going to carry out any important things that the prince had given me?" ”

Sinzaima lowered her voice in embarrassment: "In other words, I asked you a question that I can't ask now, right?"

Seeing this, Mungo smiled: "Not really. ”

Sinzaima looked at the man in front of him curiously, but listened to him say slowly: "Now that the wood is in the boat, you will soon know what will happen." ”

Xin Zaima guessed: "Quick, tell me secretly! Is it related to the next battle in Liuyun City?"

Mungo smiled and turned to look behind him. As a result, they unexpectedly found that those soldiers from the Northern Desert had set up some strange-shaped military camps according to the sheepskin handed to them by Sinzaima. Then he hurriedly reminded Sinzaima and said, "Look back." ”

Hearing this, Xin Zaima turned his head, but scolded directly: "These stupid people, they have all told them the method, and they can't even get along." You also say that we are better than the people of Dongzhou, at least in terms of these fames, the vast majority of us are really inferior to them!"

Mungo said lightly: "We were born warriors, not carpenters. With these in mind, can we survive in such difficult conditions as the Northern Desert? No? There is no comparison between the two. ”

"I won't tell you this, I'll help them. Sinzaima sighed and turned to leave. Looking at the back of Sinzaima leaving, Mongo's eyes suddenly appeared with a rare worry. Just as Sinzaima felt his strong disdain and hostility towards the Chinese people in Dongzhou in his words, Meng Ge also found Sinzaima's good feelings for those Chinese people in Dongzhou from his conversations with Xinzaima.

Meng Ge feared that one day, Sinzaima would be used by the Chinese of Dongzhou, and then easily shatter their trust in each other with just a few words, just like the rebellion against Asalanti by the Ten Princes of the Northern Desert.

Thinking of this, Mungo tightened his grip on the scimitar at his waist.

When the snow falls inadvertently, it is embellished with deep eyebrows. Mungo still stood alone in the snow like a straight spear. It's just that this time, his eyes are no longer the Dian Star City that was ignited by the fire, but turned to the direction of the Flowing Cloud City that was about to be attacked.

......

When Zhai Wenli woke up, those Blood Tiger Riders who had been ordered to go to the Juelong Mountain Range were taking him with them. It stands to reason that Ao Xian should have taken Zhai Wenli to the front line with him, but considering that Zhai Wenli might bring some of the things he saw in the barracks back to Ao Chun, the lord of the Xia State.

Moreover, Ao Chun was worried that with Zhai Wenli here, those Wind Tiger Riders who were handed over to Han Zhao by him might be disobedient. In order to prevent this kind of accident from happening, Ao Xian chose to let these blood tiger riders who were inexplicably turned to be in charge of "logistics", and took Zhai Wenli to the Juelong Mountain Range to fill the pit.

Zhai Wenli, who woke up from a hangover, thought he was dreaming. He looked at everything in front of him suspiciously, as well as the snowfall, turned his head and asked the soldiers beside him, "Where is this?"

Seeing that Zhai Wenli had woken up, the soldiers accompanying him hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Hui, we are on our way to the Juelong Mountain Range. ”

"Go to the Juelong Mountain Range?" Zhai Wenli frowned, looking at the general in front of him who was talking to him suspiciously. He subconsciously pinched his nose and asked, "What are you doing in the Absolute Dragon Mountain Range?"

The soldier said: "Naturally, it is an important thing. ”

Zhai Wenli asked, "What about His Royal Highness Ao Xian?"

The soldier said: "I have already led the army to the front." ”

Zhai Wenli was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then turned to ask, "What are we going to the Absolute Dragon Mountain Range to do now?"

The soldier smiled secretly, and responded to Zhai Wenli lightly: "General Zhai, don't worry, we will be there soon." Then you'll know what we're going to do. ”

The soldier's words made Zhai Wenli feel a little displeased. As a result, before Zhai Wenli could get angry, a series of mountain ranges rose up to the sky, casting black shadows to cover this blood tiger rider from the Xia Kingdom.

Seeing this scene, Zhai Wenli's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Even the snowfall in Jibei today can't completely coat the mountain range in front of you, which is not a series of mountains, in a snow-colored coat.

It is a string of mountains, but it looks more like a wall carved by the gods to imprison the Terrans who live in this land. And Zhai Wenli naturally didn't know that the origin of this Juelong Mountain Range had been mentioned in ancient mythology.

It was the body transformation of an ancient demon god who was killed by the Emperor of Heaven with the "Heavenly Fang". Today's Jingwei Pass in Dongji is built on the wounds of this ancient demon god. And that "wound" has become the only checkpoint between Dongji and Xiji today.

This was the first time Zhai Wenli had seen the legendary Juelong Mountain Range. When Jingwei Pass met the alliance, Ao Chun, the lord of the Xia State, did not bring him with him, so this made Zhai Wenli have time to sigh and be shocked now.

I don't know how long it has been since then.

The Blood Tiger Rider, who stepped into the "shadows" of the Juelong Mountain Range, sped up his pace against the wind and snow. During the process, Zhai Wenli no longer said anything to the soldier. Because he didn't know what to say. The "shock" from nature made Ben a little puzzled why Ao Xian, the son of the world, wanted to split his own Zhai Wenli, and instantly left these tedious things behind.

He began to try to find out with the naked eye whether there was a "commonality" between the so-called "primeval demon god" and the primeval mythology at the confluence of this mountain range, known as the "death of the demon god". After all, since the "Chiyan Rebellion", the faith of the people of the world has been lost in the flames of war and displacement.

This was also the beginning of the collapse of the rites.

As time passed, the hustle and bustle of life gradually caused them to lose their devotion to their faith and their reverence for the gods. However, this is not the case for everyone. Even though it's hard to live.

Thinking of this, Zhai Wenli realized that he had been carried all the way. Although there was frost and snow in the face, it was definitely much more comfortable than sitting in the saddle of the tiger. This made Zhai Wenli, who was going to make things difficult for the accompanying soldiers, to restrain the meanness in his heart.

In fact, those soldiers around him can understand Zhai Wenli's mood at the moment. Nominally, he was "borrowed" to take away the military power, but in fact, he was robbed of the military power, and now he is still running here with them, obviously to break Zhai Wenli.

Zhai Wenli, who had just woken up from a hangover, would definitely not be able to think of so much for the time being, but these most basic things would definitely be understood when he was fully awake. But before that, Zhai Wenli probably didn't have the time to think about this.

Because, the Juelong Mountain Range, which has always been difficult to break through with swords, suddenly appeared a huge hole at this moment, and as their army approached, it changed from small to large. Before Zhai Wenli could speak, the accompanying soldiers took the lead in speaking: "General, we have arrived." ”

Zhai Wenli was puzzled: "This is here?"

"This is our new entrance and exit to Dongji and Xiji. The soldier looked at the cavern, which grew larger as they got closer, and said, "That's what we're here for." ”

Zhai Wenli looked at the soldier in confusion, and after a moment, he frowned, turned to look at the accompanying blood tiger riders around him, and then said in surprise: "Could it be that you plan to ......?"

The soldier smiled slightly and said to Zhai Wenli.

"Next, we will all listen to the general's arrangement. ”
