The ancient Xiongguan stands on the ice field, the ancient city gate is absolutely heavy, the simple and deep color, just looking at it from a distance, it is difficult for people to rise and shake the heart.

At this time, this ancient and towering city gate has been completely opened, on both sides of the city gate, a team of soldiers wearing battle armor are standing solemnly, even under the pressure of Cang Yan's fierce aura, the blades in their hands have not wavered, and the leaders of several generals are standing in front of the city gate early, with a very cautious expression on their faces.

Outside the city gates, more people looked at the red beast that was slowly approaching, and their faces were sluggish, and these people were not as orderly as those soldiers, lying on the ground in a horizontal and vertical manner, looking disorganized.

Most of them were ragged, unkempt, and carrying boulders on their backs, and at this time, they watched Cang Yan's huge body slowly walk, one by one, they were either stunned in place, or whispering.

Ye Han could guess their identities when he saw the heavy shackles on each of them. Yes, these people are the prisoners held in the Demon Gate.

At this time, those people were standing together in groups of three or five, and some even fell directly to the ground, and a boulder next to them fell into the cold ice, obviously exhausted.

Behind those worldly people, a sergeant with a long whip frowned, but due to Cang Yan's terrifying might, he didn't directly whip people, but obviously when Ye Han left, their subordinates would definitely not show mercy.

Seeing this, those death row prisoners clung to this glimmer of respite, and fell down one by one, not even caring about the cold and biting ice under them, and taking advantage of the opportunity when those prison soldiers did not dare to breathe, desperately recovering their exhausted physical strength.

Ye Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw these prisoners with yellow faces and thin muscles and numb eyes.

It is a very ancient rule of the Hanyu Dynasty to make the prisoners on death row in each city be assigned to the border passes, the walls of the border passes, the traps outside the city, and the ravines to protect the city, these are not small projects, if they all rely on the soldiers who defend the city to do, I am afraid that the loss is unbearable for any army.

Therefore, many years ago, the Hanyu Dynasty had a rule of escorting those criminals who committed the most heinous crimes in various cities and states to the border to make up for the loss of people.

Perhaps in the eyes of those in power, these are damned people, and instead of using a butcher's knife in the city to make it bleed all over the ground, it is better to throw them into this demon pass to repair the city fortress and exert the residual heat of the cheap life, which is naturally more cost-effective.

And this distribution border pass, naturally has two poles, one south and one north, the south is the town south pass, and the north is the demon pass.

Although they are both border passes, as long as they are in the Hanyu Dynasty, they all know that there is a world of difference between the two.

Although Zhennanguan has been fighting all year round, there are rivers of blood all day long, and corpses are everywhere, but for those death row prisoners, the big deal is the word "death".

But the Northern Demon Pass is different here, although the Zhennan Pass is in constant war all year round, and it is also full of dangers, but at least the people who are fighting there are still human beings, and if they are cut down, the soldiers on the opposite side are all people who know pain and will bleed.

But on the northern side, the confrontation is against terrifying monsters. Let's not mention the geometry of the war dead, even if they are lucky enough not to die under the claws of monsters, in the year-round labor, it is indispensable to get out of the city pass, and even out of the scope of the enchantment of the city.

Although the demonic qi outside the Demon Barrier is not as rich as the depths of the demonic realm in the northernmost part, for these prisoners who are shackled and imprisoned by the Yuan Force in their bodies, these wisps of demonic qi are all deadly things.

It's okay once or twice, but if it takes a long time and accumulates more, they will inevitably go berserk and fall into the devil's path, and then their only fate will be to be beheaded by the soldiers who oversaw the work behind them.

In this huge city pass, the laborers all day long do not know the geometry, and the nature of the corpse ice field is not a few, almost everyone when they walk out of the city gate, they don't know if they can walk back, it is the real human life is like a mustard.

Ye Han sat on Cang Yan's back at this time and looked up into the distance. Looking along the ancient and majestic city wall, those prisoners who were shackled and numb in their eyes could hardly see the end at a glance, and such a terrifying number made him feel stuffy in his chest.

Although according to the decree of the dynasty, the people who are assigned to the border are all heinous people, but to tell the truth, I am afraid that there are not even half of the truly heinous people.

Not to mention anything else, it is just a dispute between the party members of the dynasty, and the innocent people implicated in this do not know the geometry.

Ye Han shook his head slightly, no longer looked at the numb expressions of those people, and looked up at the back of the barbarian king, with a slight hint of thought in his eyes.

Now he has come to this county town, but the prince has never said a word, which makes Ye Han can't help but be surprised in his heart.

Originally, according to his inference, no matter what the prince's plan was, there would always be some clues before entering the city, but how could he be so calm, could it be that he really just planned to invite himself into the city?

Ye Han's mind flipped for a moment, and soon he didn't think about it anymore, no matter what the idea of this prince was, now that he was ready to fly, there was no reason to turn back. He wanted to see what this No. 1 Xiongguan in the north looked like.

However, just when Ye Han's heart was no longer entangled, in the sea of his consciousness, the system that had been silent for a long time came from the voice again, which made him stunned slightly.

On the left side of the city gate, among the prisoners, a thin young man cowered in the corner, the shackles in his hands were quite heavy, and the sight of his small body made people feel sorry for him.

But if someone looked close to him, they would notice that the aura on his body was not as bad as his appearance. Although he was also gray-headed, his face was not as numb and dull as many prisoners, especially his eyes, which were still very bright under the cover of dust.

At this time, his eyes were staring at the giant beast in the distance, which was red as a flame. Cang Yan's body was already more than twenty zhang, and he was definitely a behemoth, even if he was far away from him, he could still see the figure sitting cross-legged on the back of the giant beast.

It's him!

Chu Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, he naturally remembered this huge crimson fire beast, when he was building the outer wall at the side gate in the west of the city, he suddenly saw the generals patrolling the city at that time jumping down from the city wall, and led all the soldiers under his command to form a defense in front of the city gate.

And he was mixed in with the commotion of the prisoners, and he had seen this huge beast bypassing the city gate and heading north with the breath of red flames.

The city patrol general, who was high in his eyes, had a look of joy on his face when he saw that person go away, and the expression that seemed to be the rest of his life after the catastrophe made Chu Yuan remember it deeply.

This young man, who was originally born in a family of generals, originally had the greatest wish to devote himself to the military, hoping to become a general as famous as his father.

But when he saw the warrior who was no less inferior than his father clasping his fist and saluting at the distant back, he couldn't help but be planted with a deep seed in his heart.

If I have his cultivation, who would dare to exterminate my family and exile me to the frontier?

During this period of time, that little seed had already taken root and sprouted, and although that thought was buried deep in his heart, it would come to his mind in the dead of night, lingering.
