The snow kept falling, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

Torches crackled and swords slashed.

As streamers cut through the noisy night, wails rose one after another. The frost swords, who were caught in a bitter battle, raised their long swords and rose up. The encirclement that had been defeated by the Thousand Thunder Nation Bear Riders began to reunite.

Before Lian Mu came back to his senses, three more streamers hit Lei Yi's body. Lei Yi, who originally intended to carry out a sneak attack on Lian Mu, completely lost his combat effectiveness in these three streamers.

When Shuo Xue entered his eyebrows, the hot blood stained the silver and white of the heavens and the earth, and gradually turned into ice slag. Between breaths, the bloody blood was mixed with a cold chill.

At this moment, Lei Yi counted the "cloud-piercing arrows" that fell on him, looked at Lian Mu with blood and war as the background, first sneered, and then sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a powerful marksman, I was careless." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I forgot about it. Between the words, Lian Mu looked around at the battle situation around him. Due to the limited number of cloud-piercing arrows, the bear riders of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom were only partially eliminated by Akzati. As for the rest of the bear riders, in the siege of the frost sword commanded by Han Ji, Demo Yan and Pu Jia worked together to gradually occupy the dominant advantage in this battle.

Although the roars of the war bears continued one after another, and the warriors of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom also waved the lava slash in their hands desperately, trying to break out of the encirclement, everyone knew in their hearts that the battle was won or lost.

Lian Mu casually bandaged his wound briefly, and then looked at Xia Hui, who had not yet recovered in the distance: "Hey, it's okay for you!"

Xia Hui was stunned, and then responded: "It's okay!"

Lian Mu smiled and turned his head to Meng Jian in the distance: "Meng Jian! Are you still alive?

"I'm here!" Meng Jian got up from the ruins, crossed over one corpse after another, and then ran towards Lian Mu, who was half-squatting in front of Lei Yi at the moment. Looking at Meng Jian jumping around like this, Lian Mu said to himself: "It's okay." ”

Lei Yi, who was half-kneeling in front of Lian Mu, tried to change his posture. The result came from the piercing pain caused by the five cloud-piercing arrows, which dispelled the small extravagant hopes of this prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom.

Looking at the thousands of thunder country bear riders who followed him to sweep one by one, and were in a desperate situation under the siege of many frost swords, Lei Yi couldn't help but sneer.

Lian Mu looked at the prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom in front of him puzzled: "What are you laughing at." ”

Lei Yi laughed at himself: "I should have accepted it when I saw it." ”

Lian Mu sighed: "You shouldn't have come." ”

The snow was still falling, and the hustle and bustle was gradually subdued.

At this time, Meng Jian and Xia Hui stood side by side with Lian Mu.

Looking at Lei Yi, who was extremely embarrassed in front of him, Xia Hui asked Lian Mu: "Next, what are you going to do with this prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom?"

Lian Mu didn't answer Xia Hui's words immediately, but turned his gaze to the five cloud-piercing arrows that fell on Lei Yi. Each of these five cloud-piercing arrows avoided Lei Yi's fatal point, and accurately pierced into the meridians around him, which made Lei Yi unable to condense his true qi, and with a little force, there would be a piercing pain all over his body.

"Kill him," Lian Mu paused, "it will only invite the revenge of the Thousand Thunder Country." If you don't kill him, how can you pay tribute to your brothers and the people who died tonight? ”

Looking at the corpses everywhere and the devastated Changqing Village, Xia Hui fell silent. At this time, Meng Jian on the side suggested: "Or, take it back first, right?"

Lian Mu gasped, and then slowly spit out.

He didn't agree or refuse, but looked at Meng Jian, who was wearing Luming's clothes at this time, with a puzzled look on his face: "Where did you get this dress, why do I look so familiar?"

Meng Jian: "The son of Lufu." ”

Lian Mu: "Luming?"

Meng Jian: "That's right. ”

"Look at this garment, the position of your shoulder blades should be hit hard. Lian Mu looked at the traces of Meng Jian's clothes that were torn, and then revealed even deeper doubts, "But you said that you were not injured." ”

Meng Jian explained: "Really! I didn't lie!"

Lian Mu pondered and carefully counted the damaged places on the clothes Meng Jian was wearing at the moment: "The four major acupuncture points of Lingxu, Taizhen, Juque, and Swallowing the Sea are all damaged, as well as the shoulder blades on both shoulders. If you're not injured, then Luming is seriously injured. ”

Meng Jian listened, and subconsciously avoided Lian Mu's gaze. This only made Lian Mu even more suspicious: "You haven't told me yet, how did you escape from that secret passage, why did you suddenly appear here, where is Lu Ming now?"

"This... That..."

Meng Jian was hesitant, and his words flickered.

Lei Yi on the side suddenly interrupted: "If I'm not mistaken, your name is Lian Mu, right, the man with the spear." ”

Lian Mu's gaze still stayed in Meng Jian's eyes.

Hearing Lei Yi's sudden question, he didn't turn around, but just asked lightly: "Yes, may I ask what you are doing?" ”

Lei Yi: "It's a man, just give me a good time." ”

Lian Mu smiled: "I'm afraid it won't be as you wish." ”

In the wind and snow, the hustle and bustle gradually stopped.

At this moment, the Thousand Thunder Country Bear Riders who appeared in Changqing Village outside Mingyue City had basically been wiped out by the Frost Sword. During the dialogue between Lian Mu and Lei Yi, Mo Yan and Pu Jia walked side by side, so the task of cleaning up the battlefield finally fell to Han Ji, and Han Ji was very dedicated to this.

"Cut off all the paws of these bears to Ben Gongzi! Let's see if any of these Thousand Thunder Country soldiers who were hit by arrows are still alive. Some of them are all tied up, and I will take them back to the Guang Courtyard later, I want to let them survive and not die!" Han Yu said loudly to all the living frost sword words present.

Mo Yan listened to Han Ji's aura behind him, and snorted coldly: "I didn't see him so majestic just now, but now he is quite arrogant." ”

Pu Jia looked at these cloud-piercing arrows that were sure to hit with one blow, and her expression was solemn: "If it weren't for these arrows falling from the sky, maybe it should be these warriors of the Thousand Thunder Country who should be arrogant at this moment." ”

Mo Yan said coldly: "It is mainly to charge and break the formation, supplemented by harvesting guerrillas." I didn't expect our frost sword to be so vulnerable in front of these bear riders. ”

Pu Jia pondered: "The strength of a war bear is probably at the peak of the ninth order, but with their physique and the special beast armor of the Thousand Thunder Country, one of these war bears can withstand ten of our frost swords. ”

As he walked slowly, Mo Yan's gaze fell on the lava slasher that was emitting white smoke in the snow and making a quenching sound: "Those knives are the 'lava slashers' mentioned in the previous information." ”

Pu Jia nodded, and sighed: "Sharpening iron is like clay, with burns, but the armor of the Frost Sword, I don't know if the armor of those Chiyan warriors in the city can resist these swords." ”

Mo Yan: "I'll tell Han Yu later, let him lead someone to collect these lava slashing knives, and bring back these arrows that turned the tide of the battle by the way." ”

Pu Jia: "Is there anything special about these arrows?"

Mo Yan: "These arrows are "cloud-piercing arrows", don't you know?"

Pu Jia: "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. ”

Mo Yan: "Now you've seen it." ”

Pu Jia: "So what, do you hope that these arrows will stop the coming war?" ”

Mo Yan smiled: "That's not good. ”

......

Between the flickering candles, Yun Ji finished drinking the tea in the cup, and Yun Fan also happened to finish telling the big events that happened in Dianxing City a few days ago. After listening to Yun Fan's story, Yun Ji did not have a trace of waves in her eyes, so naturally there was no reproach between the previous words.

Yun Ji said lightly: "The land of the five battles, burned to the ground, 30,000 blood feather night crows, how much will be left in the end." ”

Yun Fan: "At the moment, it seems that our Su Kingdom has lost a city, but for the Mo Kingdom, they are about to lose their deterrence against the entire Jibei. ”

Yun Ji pondered: "The assembly of the army and the deployment of generals are not difficult, the real difficulty lies in the supply of grain and grass. Most of the northern part of Jibei has rugged and winding mountain roads. Although Dianxing City is located in a mountainous area, it is rare to extend in all directions. Right now, the fire in Dian Star City has just been ignited, and it will be difficult to stop for a while and a half, and the supply line of the Mexican Kingdom will be greatly lengthened. In addition, it is winter now, and it is expected that the consumption of grain and grass for those Mexican expeditionary forces may need to be exhausted to barely supply it. ”

Yun Fan analyzed: "The war and the war situation are changing rapidly, no matter what the next battle situation in Jibei is, the Mexican country has lost the opportunity. ”

Yun Ji listened and fell into deep thought. She seemed to have thought of something, but she couldn't say it. Yun Fan didn't notice this detail, just took a sip of the tea in the cup and said lightly: "After the matter of Dian Xingcheng is finished, why don't we talk about Lu Weiwen." ”

Yun Ji tucked her hands in her sleeves: "Regarding Lu Weiwen, in fact, you should ask the general Gu Yina who returned with you." ”

Yun Fan was puzzled: "Why?"

Yun Ji: "In the days you left, she often went to Lu Yuan to find Lu Weiwen, so she must know more about Lu Weiwen than I did." ”

Yun Fan pondered: "In other words, the fact that Lu Weiwen became Liu Su's disciple was not your arrangement?"

Yun Ji: "In these days, I have more important things to deal with, so I have been lacking in skills. It's just that Tuobu Weilan conveyed the idea that I hope he can succeed Lin Ran and become the new seat of the Department of Justice. In his own way. ”

Yun Fan: "As it stands, he has made a choice. ”

Yun Ji: "It's a good start. ”

Yun Fan: "Although I didn't like Liu Su very much since I was a child, it is not a bad thing for us that Lu Weiwen can become his student. ”

Yun Ji: "Uncle and Lu Weiwen are actually the same kind of people with different personalities. In their hearts, they always regard the Su Kingdom and the Yun Clan as the top priority. ”

Between the words, Yun Fan avoided Yun Ji's gaze.

He originally wanted to refute Yun Ji and have a more in-depth discussion with her about the current influence of the clan on the Shu Kingdom, but after listening to what she just said, he could basically guess what Yun Ji's attitude was on the issue of the clan and the Shu Kingdom at the moment.

After all, the clan of the Su Kingdom is looking forward to the head of the Liu family, and it was Liu Su who helped her to the position of the lord of the country, plus Liu Su is Yun Ji's uncle, and he Yun Fan is just a Northern Desert barbarian with the surname of the Yun family. One day, everyone will know the truth about Yun Fan's background.

In silence, I listened to Yun Ji continue: "A few days ago, I just dismissed Lu You, and divided the functions and powers of Da Si Nong into three parts, and I handed over the distribution of hundreds of officials to the Department of Decree and Law for arrangement, and I troubled General Qin Shen for the preparation of military food and salary, and the cost of city defense was entrusted to General Gu Yina as an agent for the time being. ”

"A bowl of water is flat, which is good. Yun Fan said absentmindedly. For his reaction, Yun Ji was a little puzzled, and wanted to ask, but at this time, a palace person with a happy look on his face sent a battle report outside the city.

Seeing this, Yun Ji thought that it should be good news, so she didn't open it, but handed it to Yun Fan and asked him to look at it for herself. As a result, after Yun Fan finished reading it, he frowned and said nothing.

Yun Ji looked at Yun Fan puzzled: "What?"

"Good news, it is also the final battle report about the Thousand Thunder Country and Hundred Cavalry. The battle report said that although the frost sword had lost more than half, the prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom had been captured by Lian Musheng. Yun Fan said with a solemn expression, Yun Ji looked at Yun Fan at this moment with some puzzlement: "Since it is good news, you should feel happy, why do you see you so sad." ”

"Although the outcome was predicted, the process was a bit surprising to me. Between the words, Yun Fan handed the battle report to Yun Ji, and then savored the tea in the cup, "The tea made in snow and water for many years tastes different." ”

After reading the battle report, Yun Ji didn't ask anything, but turned around: "At present, the main energy of the Mo Kingdom is focused on the invasion of the Thousand Thunder Country, and now the prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom has been captured outside Mingyue City, do you say that the Thousand Thunder Kingdom will turn to us as the target next?"

Yun Fan analyzed: "Based on my understanding of Lei Che, I expect that even if he learns that Lei Yi has been captured, he will still take Yaoguang City, which is now reduced to the territory of the Mexican Kingdom, as his main target. Only by taking Yaoguang City can Lei Che gain a foothold in Jibei. Only when Jibei stands still, can Lei Che talk to us about what to do with this prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom. ”

When mentioning Yaoguang City, Yun Ji suddenly remembered the matter of Jian Ying, Su Xian and others, but for some reason she did not mention it to Yun Fan at this time, but turned to say: "This fire in Dian Star City has now greatly lengthened the follow-up assistance and grain and grass supply of the Mexican Kingdom. In addition, the geographical location of Yaoguang City is remote, and a large amount of materials have been hoarded in the Mo Country. Due to the isolation of the mountains, even if you go to the nearest Liuyun City, you have to go through a long journey between the mountains. ”

Yun Fan: "Right now, the snow in Jibei is getting heavier and heavier, and the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country has already crossed. For these Mexicans who have lived in the south for many years, the next battle may be more difficult than they imagined. ”

Yun Ji: "The Xiji Thousand Thunder Country is located north of Xiji, separated from us by a Peerless Dragon Mountain Range. Strictly speaking, the wind and snow in Jibei did not affect them. ”

Yun Fan: "Therefore, when the two sides of the Mo Kingdom and the Thousand Thunder Kingdom start a war, it is the best time for us to regain the lost territory." ”

Yun Ji sighed: "You have to make a long-term plan, after the Thousand Thunder Country finishes dealing with the Mo Country, they will definitely point the finger at us." Their invasion was an uphill battle for Mexico, and it was also for us. ”

Yun Fan pondered: "This is not in a hurry. By the way, I almost forgot to ask! During the time I disappeared, did the Xia army stationed around Mingyue City have any movements. ”

Yun Ji: "There is no movement at the moment. ”

Yun Fan: "The Thousand Thunder Country Hundred Horsemen appeared around Bright Moon City, they should know about it." But judging from the fact that they have neither intervened nor warned us now, if we start a war with the Thousand Thunder Kingdom in the future, I am afraid they will not participate. ”

Yun Ji: "And it's very likely that they will take advantage of the fire to rob it." ”

Yun Fan: "Therefore, the next change in the pattern of the entire Jibei countries depends on how much value this prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom can play." ”

At this time, Bloody Eyes Frosthoof, who had been sleeping for a while, suddenly opened his eyes, and then lazily interrupted the conversation between Yun Ji and Yun Fan: "I'm afraid, some of these things are not as you wish."

Yun Ji and Yun Fan listened, looked at the bloody eyes and frost hoofs in confusion, and said in unison: "How do you say this?"

Blood-eyed Frosthoof looked at the two siblings, and then yawned, "Actually, it's not a big deal, you'll know in a while."

......

On the tower of Bright Moon City, Akzati slowly put away the "Red Dragon Black Yan", and looked at Gu Yina in great surprise, unable to say a word for a long time, causing Gu Yina to sneer and say: "How is it, is this arrow easy to use?"

Akzati: "To tell you the truth, the moment I plucked the bowstring, I felt like I was in charge of the gods of life and death. It's a pity that the number of these arrows is too small, otherwise I would have been able to wipe out all the giant bears of the Thousand Thunder Country just now. ”

"Gotta get it, almost. Gu Yina interrupted, "Later, you remember to send someone to meet the Frost Sword outside the city gate, we will be allies with them in the future, and we can help with some things." ”

Akzati: "Okay!"

Gu Yina looked at Akzati, who was a little excited in front of her, and sighed: "It's not too early, now that the task assigned by the prince has been completed, I will go back first." The matter of city defense will be handed over to you later. ”

Akzati patted his chest: "People are here, the city is there!"

"Hopefully you'll be able to keep your fighting spirits high every day. Gu Yina muttered to herself helplessly, and then left a silent back, slowly disappearing into the snowy night with the crackling of torches.

As a result, just as she was about to go down to the city tower, an accident suddenly happened in Changqing Village, far outside Mingyue City. The trembling earth, the sonorous armor, the war cry sounded again!

"The Thousand Thunder Kingdom is coming?" After hearing the strange sound in the wind, Gu Yina frowned, trying to see through the night. This time, however, there was nothing to see except the deep night and the frost and snow that blinded the eyes.

Akzati, who was standing on the city tower, also looked solemn after hearing the battle cry in the distance. Gu Yina, who had already left, stood side by side with him again and the Bright Moon City Tower under the snow in the middle of the night: "Can you see it?"

Akzati shook his head and pondered, "Since the appearance of the Thousand Thunder Nation Hundred Horsemen, I have found that the snow tonight is unusually heavy, and other than that, it is too thick in the night. ”

Gu Yina said worriedly, "It's the Black Heaven Sect. ”

Akzati listened carefully: "At present, there is no figure of them in Changqing Village, presumably those women in black are setting up a magic circle in the extreme distance, and then manipulating the long dark night and the frost and snow that covers their eyes."

Guina: "An unsettling force of chaos. ”

Akzati: "It's been a lively night. It is expected that there will be a Thousand Thunder Kingdom War Bears with a number of about 1,000 in the future, appearing in Changqing Village. I believe that Lian Mu can cope with it. ”

Gu Yina: "Are you so sure?"

Akzati: "It is expected that these war bears must have come to save the prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, and they should not fight with Lian Mu for too long." However, I'm more curious about how confident the prince of the Thousand Thunder Country is, and he dares to wander around Mingyue City with a hundred horsemen and war bears, in order to establish his authority?"

At this moment, there was a strange long howl in the wind.

It was like a cry of resentment from beneath the Nine Shadows, mixed with an indescribable low wail, and hidden in the noisy sound of beasts shaking the ground, so that it could not be heard at all if you did not listen carefully.

"Not good!" may have thought of something, but Guina wasn't sure. Her instincts told her that something bigger was going to happen soon tonight.

"What's wrong?" Akzati, who heard Gu Yina's exclamation, wanted to ask Gu Yina about her next arrangements, but when she saw Gu Yina wave her sleeves, she said to a Chiyan warrior beside her: "Pass my order, immediately mobilize 1,000 Chiyan to Changqing Village to support, gather 3,000 light cavalry, and open the way led by Xin Zaima himself, and set off immediately!"

The Chiyan warrior waved his hand: "Order!"

Then, Guina turned and left again.

Behind him, Akzati wondered, "Where are you going?"

Gu Yina: "Save people." ”

Akzati was surprised: "You are going too?"

Gu Yina: "I'm not at ease. ”

Seeing that Gu Yina was about to leave, Akzati hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and then worried: "The current Changqing Village is really too dangerous. I'll go, you stay here and command the dispatch. ”

Before Guina could respond to Akzati, a neighing horse roared from below the castle tower. Then, five hundred bright light armor dressed in silver wolf armor, led by a white-robed young general, drove horses and disappeared into the deep night in an instant.

Akzati: "Whoever is that?"

Gu Yina was puzzled: "It seems to be Qin An, but didn't he go back to the Qin Mansion to see Old General Qin a long time ago......?"

At this moment, Sinzaima suddenly came up from the castle tower and said anxiously to Guyina in the barbarian language: "Sir, those men have just stolen our horse!

Guyna and Akzati looked at each other and fell silent for a moment. But Sinzaima asked, "What should I do next?"

"Keep up with them," Guyna said to Akzati instead, "remember what you said, the people are there, and the city is there." ”

"Do you really insist on going?" Akzati looked at Gu Yina suspiciously, and between the words, the beautiful woman had already dragged Sinzaima and disappeared into the city tower.

When the hooves of the three thousand horsemen were in a hurry, the Chiyan warriors of the 1,000 armor were also ready to go, and went to Changqing Village to support with sonorous steps. Akzati, who has always been indifferent to life and death, looked at Gu Yina going into battle in person, and never let go of the worries in his heart.

"Be safe and triumphant. Akzati muttered to himself, and then he silently closed his eyes, feeling and listening to Shuofeng coming from the wind about the Evergreen Village's every move at this moment.
