In the early morning, as the gate of Gucheng slowly opened, the flow of people who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time immediately rushed up.

Although it was not wartime, since the General's Mansion had issued martial law half a year ago, everyone, regardless of their status, stepped forward one by one in order to be interrogated, if not, the guards on duty would arrest you on the spot on charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Due to the extremely strict entry and exit of the city gate, the speed of the flow of people is not fast, when the sun hangs high in the sky, the queue like a long dragon not only did not decrease, on the contrary, it was a few points longer.

When Tie Xuan and his party came to the city gate disguised as bodyguards, looking at the almost endless flow of people in front of them, Wen Shan, the leader, couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Damn, according to this check, when will we be able to get out of the city? Wen Shandao, who was short-tempered, took a sip fiercely, with an anxious look.

"What's in a hurry, you have to be patient in everything, just wait slowly. The veiled black widow said coldly.

"Yes, the lord is not in a hurry, you are in a hurry. The black dove said with pity.

Listening to the conversation between the three of them, Tie Xuan, who was sitting on the back of the unicorn on the side, couldn't help but feel that this trip was worrying, the people were not aligned, and the task was arduous, he really didn't know where Ye Xiao got the confidence to complete his plan. However, when he thought of the secret mission that Wuyue had entrusted to him, he very much hoped that Ye Xiao could succeed, and only in this way could he create a chance for him to get that thing.

While thinking about his own thoughts, Tie Xuan also set his eyes on the carriage not far behind him, where Ye Xiao, the organizer of this operation, was sitting.

"Brother Xiang, now that the city gate is overcrowded, see if we come back at another time. Wen Shan rode his horse to the carriage and hugged his fists.

Although Wen Shan lowered his head and looked respectful, anyone with eyes and ears could see the pride on his face and hear the sarcasm in his words.

"No, show this token to the chief guard of the city gate, and he will let us out of the city first. An indifferent voice came from the carriage, and a pitch-black token was thrown.

Wen Shan took the token, and when he saw the words 'Great General's Mansion' engraved on the token, his expression immediately became extremely shocked, "Hey, this is, the highest pass order issued by the Great General's Mansion?"

"What, the supreme order, isn't that a token that only the great general Meng Changqing himself can issue, how can it be in his hand?" Hearing this, the black widow who was waiting to watch the play had round eyes, and her face under the veil was full of disbelief.

"Sure enough, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if this person has been expelled from the family, the rest of the background is not comparable to those of us who are loose cultivators. The black dove sighed, with a rare look of helplessness and loneliness.

"The highest pass order, isn't this a token that only wartime generals will issue to the most trusted generals under their command, how can Hall Master Ye have it, can't he have any outstanding friendship with the general?" Hearing Wen Shan's words, Tie Xuan's heart also had doubts, his eyes focused on the carriage, and at this moment, the people in it were a little mysterious in his heart again.

Wen Shan rode his horse to the gate of the city, and before he could get close, several city guards had already come over, and then he saw the leading middle-aged man with a spear in his hand, and looked at Wen Shan coldly, "If you want to go out of the city to line up, if you want to break in, don't blame me and other subordinates for being ruthless." ”

"This person is dizzy, dare to make trouble in this solid city, don't you think that you are great riding a unicorn. ”

"That is, the general who entered and exited the gate of this city had issued a strict order, unless he had a pass order, otherwise anyone who trespassed would be sentenced to death. ”

"Look at his eyes above the top, don't you think this is in his home, it's really an act of looking for death. ”

Seeing Wen Shan and the city guards facing each other, the crowd immediately discussed, and many bored people who were waiting to get out of the city turned their eyes here, with a look of watching a good show on their faces.

"Hehe, this commander is not in a hurry, let's see what this is first?" Wen Shan said, with a smug smile on his face, he suddenly showed the pitch-black token in his hand.

"What, the Supreme Order?"

The middle-aged man looked at the clear handwriting on the token, and suddenly his somewhat angry face turned into a respectful color, and he hugged his fist towards Wen Shan and said, "I'm sorry, it's reckless." Then he hurriedly turned sideways and ordered, "Get out of the way." ”

"No!"

Hearing the commander's words, several city guards immediately lined up on both sides, and then, in the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Wen Shan rode a unicorn and took the lead towards the city gate unhurriedly.

"Why let them go first, I've been waiting here for two hours. ”

"Yes, there has to be a first-come-first-served in everything, but speaking of which, what is the iron card?"

"You stupid, the city guards have always been the elite of the Great General's Mansion, and only the orders of the Great General are followed, so if it is not the order of the Great General, no one has the right to let them show favoritism. ”

"What does this brother mean?"

Seeing that Tie Xuan and his party ignored the rules of the queue and cut the queue to advance, the crowd suddenly became discussant, most of them were indignant because they didn't know it, only a small number of people noticed that the commander was released after seeing the token, and their hearts suddenly understood.

"Silence!" Hearing the noise around him, the middle-aged man suddenly shouted, his eyes scanning the crowd like lightning, and his voice was like thunder, and the audience was immediately silent.

"I didn't expect this person to look ordinary, his cultivation is not inferior to mine, and even the momentum exploded stronger than me, this solid city is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Seeing that the middle-aged man shouted loudly and shocked the audience, Wen Shan's somewhat lazy face became a little solemn, his eyes were shining, and he sighed.

"This is natural, Gucheng is the first line of defense against Da Liao, and it is also the strongest line of defense, if it is lost, then the Great Song Dynasty is only afraid that the troops will be rampant immediately, and the people will be miserable. The black dove said coldly.

"It's a pity, the stronger this solid city, the more jealous the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty is of the Great General's Mansion. The black widow sighed slightly, her eyes fell on the crowd of people waiting to leave the city with some pity, she knew that as long as the city was broken, few of these people in front of her would survive.

Although the voices of the three of them were low, they did not shy away from Tie Xuan at all, after all, in their opinion, even if Tie Xuan was a member of the warrior battalion, his loyalty to the Great General's Mansion was estimated to be very small, otherwise he would not have walked with them.

So to some extent, they are one type of people, and what kind of people they belong to, that is, other people's lives are not lives, but their own lives are lives.

Wen Shan's thoughts Tie Xuan naturally didn't know, but if he knew that he was turned into a class of people by the other party, he probably wouldn't refute it immediately. After all, being a man is not something that can be concluded by words, and the result must be proved by actions after all, and he will use his actions to tell the three people in front of him at a certain moment how he is different from them.

However, the content of the three people's words still attracted him, because Tie Xuan had never thought that there would be such an inside story in this war that was about to break out, which couldn't help but make him feel that no matter what happened, the filthiness of people's hearts seemed to never stop.

Tie Xuan didn't know very well what war was, he only knew that since he was a member of the warrior battalion, he should contribute to the general who gave him money. At this point, it has nothing to do with the level of his strength, but he never wants to owe it to others, and as for who wins and loses in the end of the war, he doesn't really care much in his heart.

However, when he occasionally thought of those people in Tiejia Village, he knew why he was still in Gucheng and willing to carry out this almost death-defying mission, although he never said it in his mouth, but in his heart he still hoped that they could live in peace.

If you want Tiejia Village to be protected from the war, then you must defend the solid city, and to really defend the solid city, it means that his task this time must be completed.

The procession was still advancing, and due to the presence of the Supreme Order, there was no obstruction along the way, and in a short time they were out of the city gates.

This is not the first time Tie Xuan has gone out of the city, but when he saw the vast and boundless desert in front of him, a shock still inevitably hit his heart, because this step represents stepping on the land of Daliao.

At this moment, Tie Xuan, who was in a complicated mood, suddenly flashed a dusty picture in his mind, a dream that he should have forgotten but couldn't let go.

"Master Mo, what's on the other side of the mountain, where the sun lives?" asked the seven-year-old child's immature little finger, pointing to the last light on the towering peaks in the distance.

"Naturally, the other side of the mountain is still a mountain, but if one day you climb over all the mountains, then you will definitely be able to meet the person you want to see the most. The old man beside him looked at the distant sky with deep eyes, and said calmly.

"Then when I grow up, I must climb all the mountains. The child clenched his fists in front of his chest, his gaze dark and clear, the afterglow of fire flowing in his pupils.

"Hehe, let's talk about it when you grow up, now we should go back, or your grandmother will definitely be in a hurry. The old man looked at the young man beside him lovingly, and smiled indifferently.

On the mountain path, an old man and a young man walked slowly, and the sunset stretched their figures.

At the end of the road, smoke rose from the houses of dozens of families, scattered in circles between heaven and earth.

"Tie Xuan, now you should know what's on the other side of the mountain. ”

A soft sigh sounded in Tie Xuan's ears, and he silently looked up at the sky, and his thoughts tumbled violently for a while.
