Chapter 298: The Sea of Winter

The arrival of winter, the biggest benefit to the Great Wall is...... It's a lot cleaner. The snow that covered the mountains and fields pressed heavily on the ground, forming a thick blanket, and the four fields were covered in silver.

In the past, no matter how spotless and clean you were, if you wandered around the Great Wall for a while, you would end up covered in loess.

It's just that compared to the bad weather and the thick layer of ice in the water tank, if you want to get water, you have to use a hammer to smash it, this benefit is really not worth mentioning.

The guards at the head of the city wore thick cotton clothes, patrolling back and forth, and did not dare to stop for a moment, they held the knife in their hands instead, and after a little longer, they could freeze off a large piece of skin.

The house is not much better, the vegetation in the desert is scarce, there are not even a few wooden houses in sight, and the same is true for firewood.

Many soldiers hid in the barracks, and in the houses, they were all dressed in the thickest clothes of each other, crowded together, people were crowded, people were crowded, most of them gathered together, and they could spend their days in it, and they could free up many empty houses.

And this, there is still the Great Wall under the protection of the Four Seasons Sword.

In other places, it will only be colder than the Great Wall.

......

King Lanling squatted in the snow nest, his expression slightly frightened, and there was a kind of astonishment that his worldview had been broken, because he found a corpse that had been eaten by vultures in the river valley by the Great Wall.

Although the two eyeballs still have a large area of skin, the muscles have been pecked clean, and the already dehydrated body has not had time to be devoured by the maggots laid by the flies, and it is buried by the heavy snow.

So he can still clearly distinguish his identity, whether it is the mark on the mandible, or the skin on his back, "Everything is empty, everything is allowed." "Tattoo ......

He's a nightmare.

If you talk about the whole of Hasassin, there are only two people who can make him feel fear.

And both of these are Hassan.

Put these two people in a second place, and the nightmare is a cut above the wise old man, both in terms of horror and danger.

He muttered, "Nightmare dead?"

"Will this demon actually die?"

He really couldn't believe it, and he was thinking about how long he would have to fight without sleeping, and he would also kill Nightmare. This kind of talk is the same as "I will kill the king of heaven when Lao Tzu comes", which is purely cruel words.

He never imagined that such a terrifying existence as Nightmare would actually die.

He looked at the Great Wall under the snow.

Because he remembered that the nightmare seemed to tell him that he was going to the Great Wall to kill people, and it turned out that the demon's body was picked up by him near the Great Wall...... That is, he was killed by the people in the Great Wall?

Who is it?

Mulan? impossible!

Su Lie?

Warrior armor of the West?

Xuan Ce's brother who is good at sniping?

Neither!

King Lanling thought of the character he had never wanted to mention, as if he had been hit hard.

If there is anyone else in the Great Wall who can do this...... Excluding 10,000 impossibilities, only he remains.

"Li Taibai. He chewed on these three words, and a burst of anger and grief suddenly appeared in his heart, "Li Taibai!

A sudden gust of wind and snow blew at him, and he sat down in the snow in a dejected state, and the young man behind him crept over and patted him on the back.

Gao Changgong said softly: "Xuan Ce, go away." ”

Baili Xuance was stunned, he knew that the master who cared about his image very much didn't want him to see him so embarrassed, but he still didn't leave, just patted him on the back over and over again, as his brother did back then.

Gradually.

He faintly heard a low sob.

"Father, the child doesn't want to return to the kingdom. ”

"Child...... Tired. ”

The Northern Qi Dynasty was the first state established by the Han Chinese in the Western Regions, and once fought alongside the Great Wall Guards, but later, Emperor Taizong subdued the Great Wall Guards, and the two became enemies ever since.

Xuan Ce's heart fell into the abyss in panic.

He never imagined that his master, who seemed to have always been rich and jade, would show such a posture that was almost collapsed, let alone say something like "I don't want to return to the country".

Isn't it the master's long-standing wish to restore the country?

His red eyes turned to the Great Wall, looking at the fluttering phoenix bird flag, vaguely understood something, but there was a trace of fear of women in his heart, sure enough, what my brother said was right.

When he peeked at Aunt Li next door taking a bath, he didn't let him see it for his sake.

Woman, it's really scary.

......

The Great Wall, the General's Palace

Hua Mulan slapped the table fiercely: "You just came back and you want to leave again, I don't allow it!"

Li Bai gently stroked her back, like soothing a fried kitten: "We can't give the Beiyi people a burial, if it goes on like this, I don't know how many Li people near the Great Wall will freeze to death, and the patrolmen will also come to an end." Compared to the Beiyi people who are used to living in the north, we won't be able to last long. ”

Hua Mulan was silent, and said after a while: "We can withdraw, we can't bear it, and the Beiyi people and the Hu people can't carry it for long, and when the cold wave recedes, we will come back in the spring of the next year." ”

Li Bai shook his head and said: "Impossible, the imperial court did not give an order, and your unauthorized evacuation is a big crime of the Yi Jiu clan, even if there is a reason for it, you will definitely be held responsible." It doesn't matter to you and me, but you have to think about your parents and brothers in Chang'an. It cannot be withdrawn. ”

She was short of words, and after a while, she said fiercely: "This is a celestial phenomenon, which cannot be changed by human beings, what is the use of you going?"

"Coincidentally, I happen to be very good at changing this celestial phenomenon. Li Bai recalled that at the beginning, on the ancient battlefield, the majestic avalanche set off by the white lord of Qingqiu with his own strength.

But with such a force, it is far from setting off a celestial phenomenon that will sweep most of the Eastern world.

So he changed his words again: "Just take a look from afar, and if it really can't change, I'll come back." Soon, there won't be much danger either. ”

Mulan clenched her fists: "Do you think I am an ignorant shaft?"

The Far North is a very dangerous place for any human being, even if they have lived here for generations, and the Beiyi people, who are as strong as the Beiyi, will set up camp every winter and make a living by sticking to their livestock or plundering the farming peoples of the south.

And here is not the most dangerous.

It is said that in the sea of winter farther north, there are white-haired winds that can blow out the fire of life when it blows, there are glaciers that are thousands of meters deep and can fall if you step on them, and there are giant bears with white hair......

In that ocean, there are whales that reach hundreds of meters in size, and an unconscious tail swing can cause tsunamis and natural disasters, and some people say that if you walk in the snow for a long time, you will become blind and blind......

To the north of the Sea of Winter, there was originally only a small island, not much larger than Fuso.

But extending from the land, over the course of a long enough time, the sea has gradually eroded, and the sturdy and towering glacial ice caps cover most of the winter sea.

In the wilderness, it is not uncommon for herders to unknowingly break into the sea, and then walk and walk, step into the air, and fall into the abyss or icy waters, usually ending in death.

Li Bai gently pinched her little face: "It's not when you're ignorant...... Since my shoulders are broader, I should bear more, and the burden on you is already heavy. ”

"Then I'll go with you. She said stubbornly. "This time, I will never part with you. ”

Li Bai stared at her for a while before he said, "Okay, leave the matter here to Su Lie and them." ”
