The north wind reverberated over the North Underworld.

In the early hours of this morning, the Yuwen family arrived in the North Underworld City with eight hundred cavalry and nearly three thousand infantry from the territory of Fufeng City, and the tips of the spears glowed coldly in the pale sunlight.

A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly through the marching procession, and on it was a war drum about the size of the car, "Knock, Knock, Knock......", striking a slow, heavy marching rhythm.

Bu Yangming sat in a wooden hand-pushed chair, pushed by Peng Wanli, from the towering tower where he lived through a doorway to the huge wall of the Northern Underworld, he quietly watched the approaching army.

The army of Fufeng City was led by the vassal Yu Wencheng in the north, followed by his powerful general Bai Yiwu on horseback, and above them flew a banner with a snow-white background and an angry black bear as the emblem.

Historical records record that the Yuwen family has the blood of the Buyang family in its body, which can be traced back to a marriage hundreds of years ago.

However, in Bu Yangming's opinion, these people really do not have the shadow of the Buyang family, they are all tall and large, their faces are black and hard, their hair is scattered and messy, and their cloaks are directly made of whole bear skins and wolf skins without decoration.

Bu Yangming knew that this should be the last batch of troops. Other vassal lords have arrived with their troops.

He was full of hope to get on his horse and dance with the warriors, to see the horn company camps lined up outside the city, to see the drill square with swords clanging and horses neighing, to see the alleys stamped with rutted horses' hooves.

But Bu Yang Fei didn't allow him to leave. "It's too chaotic outside and we can't make sure you're safe. Bu Yangfei told him.

"I'll take me with me tomorrow, and Peng Wanli will protect me. Bu Yangming argued.

"Brother, please don't be childish," Bu Yang Fei's confidence was a little lacking, he himself was only sixteen years old, but he continued to say to Bu Yang Ming, "You know very well what we are going to face, if I put you in danger again, let alone my mother, I can't forgive myself." ”

Bu Yangming knew that there was no room for maneuver, because when his brother said this, he used the tone of "Northern Underworld City Lord".

In fact, Bu Yangming knew in his heart that this must be because of the incident in the snow forest before.

Looking back on it now, it can still be a nightmare.

He is as helpless as a newborn baby, and in the face of the enemy's attack, he can only rely on others to rescue, and he is likely to bring his rescuers into danger.

He was deeply ashamed of this.

He is only a few years younger than Bu Yang Fei, and now his brother has gathered the northern vassals for his father's affairs, and he is not yet able to protect himself.

A year ago, none of this would have been a problem.

No matter how high the wall is, I am afraid it will not be able to stop him.

In those days he could jump over all the walls and gallop without anyone else tying himself to the saddle.

Now they can only sit on a push chair and watch from the corner of the city wall.

After arriving in the North Underworld, each vassal lord who arrived in the North Underworld would hand over the banner embroidered with his family crest to the North Underworld City for safekeeping, so as to gather the pieces and unite under the banner of the Buyang family's wailing snow wolf to form a wolf war group.

Master Su Beihe hurriedly came and handed over the flags of various emblems to Bu Yangming.

Bu Yangming looked through it, there were the red maple leaf dance flag of the Shentu family on a white background, the golden sailing flag of the Chisong family, the crescent moon flag of the Duanmu family in the Flying and Misty Canyon, the Big Dipper Seven Star Flag of the Baili family, the golden battle axe flag of the Kunwu family, and the terrifying black skull flag of the Taishi family......

In just a few days, the vassals of the northern realm have led the generals, think tanks, cavalry and infantry who can fight well to the northern underworld to participate in the hunt, and Bu Yangming remembered their appearances.

But even the vast Yin'an Hall in the Northern Underworld City could not accommodate everyone at the same time.

So Bu Yangfei entertained these invited vassal lords separately, Bu Yangming usually sat in the glorious high position to the right of his brother, and there were always some lords looking at him with strange eyes, as if questioning how this stinky child was qualified to sit on their throne, let alone a cripple.

"How many people have already come?" Lord Yuwencheng and his generals asked Master Su Beihe as they rode through the city gate.

"About 48,000 people. ”

"What about the cavalry?"

"Very little. Master Su Beihe said worriedly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to form a few cavalry phalanxes." However, these lords and their generals are all battlefield generals with one enemy and one hundred battles, and they should be able to fight. ”

"How many?" asked Bu Yangming.

"About five thousand," said Master Su Beihe with a sigh, "there are no spare horses left, and if one horse is lost, there will be one less cavalry." ”

"Lord Yuwen Cheng is the last to come," Bu Yangming said thoughtfully, "Brother will have a banquet for him tonight." ”

"There is no doubt about it. ”

"How long will it take for them to leave?"

"They must move as soon as possible, as soon as possible," Master Su Beihe said, "This place is already overcrowded, if this army stays here for a few more days, it will eat up all the food stored in the North Underworld City." What's more, along the way, there are also heroes from Beiwang Canyon, Juelong Ling, and Green Forest Parking waiting to join in. The flames of war have been ignited, and your brother has a long way to go. ”

"Yes, Master Su. Bu Yangming said.

He handed over the emblems and banners of each family to Master Su, "It's better for you to keep it, I'm going to pray under the sacred tree, senior Peng Wanli, please take me there." ”

"Little Lord Ming," Master Su Beihe said when Bu Yangming was about to leave, "Aren't you going to the dinner party that welcomes Lord Yuwen tonight?"

"I won't bother my brother, and say hello to Lord Yuwen for me. Bu Yangming turned to Peng Wanli and said, "Let's go." ”

Many parts of the North Underworld have been specially modified to make it easier to get in and out of the trolleys. Peng Wanli has amazing strength, and when he encounters a ditch that cannot be passed, he usually hugs Bu Yangming with a car.

In the past two weeks, due to the frequent entry and exit of people and horses, Bu Yangfei ordered the iron gates of the inner and outer cities to be raised, and the suspension bridges outside the city gates were also lowered, even at night.

When Bu Yangming was pushed down the city wall by Peng Wanli, a long column of heavily armored cavalry was crossing the moat, they were the team of the Yuwen family, and they followed their master into the Northern Underworld. The team wears black helmets with masks and a white sheepskin cape with a black bear emblem.

Bu Yangming smiled at them as politely as he could, and the cavalry swept at them with strange eyes and passed quickly, and Bu Yangming heard someone laugh roughly.

The laughter disturbed Bu Yangming's mind.

But there's no way around it. The people of the North worship martial arts, and no one respects a child in a wheelchair.

If he stayed on the bed in the bedroom, he could naturally avoid this embarrassment, but Bu Yangming didn't want to spend his whole life in bed, let alone die in bed.

As he passed under the gate, Bu Yangming put his finger in his mouth and whistled a sharp whistle. Tomorrow will immediately come from an unknown corner. Suddenly, the cavalry team next to it was messy, the horses were in chaos, and the pikemen of the Yuwen family had to try to keep their balance. One of the horses screamed and raised its front hooves, and the samurai riding on it cursed so loudly that he almost fell off his horse.

Unless it is used to it for a long time, the horses will usually be frightened when they smell the breath of the snow wolf, and it will not be until tomorrow that the cavalry of the Yuwen family will return to normal after following Bu Yangming away.

For the first time in my life, I saw the overcrowding of the North Underworld. The yard was filled with the clash of swords, the wheels of carriages, and the sound of commanders' commands.

The armory door was wide open, and Bu Yangming caught a glimpse of the blacksmith standing by the forge, pounding and pounding, his bare chest dripping with sweat.

I've never seen so many strangers in my life, and they're pouring in from all over the North for their father, who is still in the City of Light.

Peng Wanli pushed him through a long, dark alleyway, and walked briskly beside him tomorrow, looking up at him from time to time, his eyes like golden yellow coins.

Bu Yangming really wanted to touch it, he stretched out his hand, but he didn't touch it, and tomorrow he took the initiative to lean over.

In the past few days, if the North Underworld is a pot of boiling water, then the sacred tree is a peaceful harbor.

"I want to be alone for a while. He said to Peng Wanli.

"Then I'll walk around the neighborhood. After Peng Wanli finished speaking, he quietly retreated.

Bu Yangming sat quietly under the sacred tree, from which he had fallen, and the tree had awakened him.

Tomorrow stands at Bu Yangming's side, like a vigilant sentinel. He scratched the wolf's chin, and for the rest of the day, the little boy and the snow wolf were immersed in the serene and serene tree.

Bu Yangming has always liked this sacred tree, even after a sudden accident, he has come here more and more often.

He can find solace from here. The deep and silent under the trees helped him clear his mind.

Since falling from the tree, Bu Yangming has often fallen into deep thought: thinking, dreaming, and talking to the prophet.

"Please don't let my brother go," he murmured softly, reaching out to pluck a cold, low-hanging leaf.

"Please let him stay, and if he has to go, let him return safely with his father, mother, and sister. ”

Master Su Beihe also suggested that Bu Yangfei stay in the North Underworld City, and Bu Yangming had already spoken to his brother more than once in a serious adult tone and even begged.

"I don't want to go, but I have to. Bu Yangfei said.

Bu Yangming deeply understands that it is not easy for his brother. The life and death of his father in Guangming City is unknown, and the people of the Buyang family always have to do something, which is understandable for Bu Yangming, but it is not necessary for his brother to go out in person, he can hand over the command to Lord Yuwencheng, Lord Shentu Palace, Lord Lijue or other vassals.

Master Su Beihe also suggested the same, but his brother did not listen. "This is the Buyang family's business, I think even if my father is here, he will never send others to die, but he is hiding in the North Underworld like a coward. This is the answer of the elder brother.

The elder brother's words were completely the tone of the Northern Underworld City Lord.

For Bu Yangming, Bu Yangfei now seems to be half a stranger, as if he has really become the master of one party, although he is only sixteen years old.

The vassals of the north also noticed his condition, and many of them pretended to be stupid and tempted.

Duanmu Ba recklessly asked him to lead the cavalry, Chi Songyang made a similar request with a smile, and Tai Shi'an, who was stout and gray-haired, unceremoniously said that Bu Yangfei was old enough to be his grandson and was not qualified to criticize him...... And he has a better proposal, he just has a granddaughter who is not yet married and can marry Bu Yangfei; Kun Wurong, who speaks in a literary manner, directly brought his daughter over, she looks good, but she eats round meat, and is far more interested in the food in front of her than Bu Yangfei......

Bu Yangfei calmly and politely agreed one by one, giving them courtesy with the attitude of Lord Buyang, and gradually convincing people's hearts.

Bu Yangming thought to himself, even if it was his father, he could only do this.

At one of the banquets, Bu Yangming was also present. At that time, Duanmu Mountain, the righteous son of the Duanmu Overlord from the Misty Canyon, known as the "Grumpy Ape", was a huge guy with a height of nearly two meters, and he drank a few glasses of wine and made insulting remarks, claiming that if the troops of the Duanmu family were allowed to rush to the front and die, he would immediately go home.

The elder brother said he was welcome to do so. "But when we're done cleaning up the Qingqiu family," the elder brother assured the other as he stroked the wolf's head of the north wind. "When that day comes, I'll pull you out of your damn canyon and hang you in public. The irascible ape Duanmu Shan screamed after hearing this, he blew his beard and glared and said that Bu Yangfei was just a newly weaned doll, and Bacheng was still wetting the bed, and a few Northern Warriors went up to stop him, but he overturned two, and then kicked over the table, pulling out the biggest, ugliest, and most terrifying sword that Bu Yangming had ever seen.

However, Bu Yangfei looked at him coldly and patted the wolf's head. Hearing a roar from the north wind, Duanmu Shan didn't have time to raise his sword when it pounced, and two fingers were bitten off by the north wind, and the sword flew three feet away, and the irascible ape fell to the ground, blood flowed from his hands.

"My father said that drawing a sword in front of a lord who swore allegiance was immediately punishable. Bu Yangfei said, "But I think you may have drawn your sword to help me cut through the roast meat." ”

Bu Yangming watched in horror as the big man struggled to get up, put his severed finger in his mouth and sucked, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and unexpectedly, the big man actually laughed, "Good boy," he yelled, "Crazy than me!"

Since then, the irascible ape has become the right hand and the staunchest supporter of the flying, and he is talking everywhere that the new lord is young, but he is a real man, and everyone who knows him is obedient.

However, on the night of that banquet, the elder brother came to Bu Yangming's room with a pale face and trembling all over.

"I was so scared that he was going to kill me, and he ran into two samurai with his arm raised, and it scared me to death. But this guy is not the most troublesome, Duanmu Mountain is just a brave man. Lord Taishi'an didn't say a word, he just stared at me, and I was all about the room in his castle, where it was said that they had cut off the flesh of their enemies, leaving skeletons hanging all over the room. ”

"That's just legend. Bu Yangming said, but he actually believed it a little.

"I don't know. The elder brother finally took off his disguise in the dark of night, revealing what a sixteen-year-old boy should look like, "I hope so...... I hope my father is here. ”

In the end, the two brothers reached an agreement: they hoped that their father would still be by their side.

But Bu Yangchen is thousands of miles away, in prison, and may have become a wanted criminal at the end of the world, or even dead.

What the truth is, no one knows, the version passed on by everyone is different, but each one is more terrible than the other.

So, later, when Edelweiss brought her sister Bu Yanglin's letterhead, it was stamped with the seal of the wailing snow wolf.

His brother read the letter to him. "She said that her father's attempt to seek imperial power and to hand over the throne to the king's younger brother was already like treason," Bu Yangfei continued with a frown. "Let my mother and I go to the City of Light as soon as possible to swear allegiance to Huangfu Zhang. She said that we must remain loyal, and when she marries Huangfu Zhang, she will ask the emperor to spare her father. ”

After Bu Yangfei finished reading the letter, his facial features were distorted, his anger was abnormal, and he directly tore the letter to shreds, "She didn't mention how her father is now, and she didn't even mention her sister Bu Yangnan, but she only cared about telling us to surrender, is this Bu Yanglin crazy?"

Bu Yangming's heart is half cold.

"My sister doesn't have a wolf anymore. He said softly, "Brother, she left the Northern Underworld with her wolf, but the royal family did not allow her to raise wolves, and he actually agreed to kill her wolf, do you remember?"

"How could I forget. Bu Yangfei punched the wall.

The two brothers remembered the remains of the four warriors who had returned from the City of Light and brought back the remains of the wolf of Buyanglin, and the north wind and tomorrow wailed all night.

Now, Bu Yangming sits alone under the sacred tree, chattering to the sacred tree and telling all his heart.

Bu Yangming's grandfather Bu Yangyu went to Guangming City and never came back, and now his father Bu Yangchen is also in danger in Guangming City, and his mother has not returned since he went to Guangming City.

"If my brother has to go, please protect him. "Under the ancient god tree, Bu Yangming prayed to the gods.

"Please take care of his subordinates, take care of Yu Wencheng, Shentu Palace, Duanmu Ba, Tai Shi'an and other lords, please help my brother win the Qingqiu family and bring my father and sisters home. ”

A gentle breeze swept through the sacred tree, like a deep sigh, the thick branches swayed, and the leaves rustled.

"Did you hear them answer?" a voice asked.

Peng Wanli came over at some point.

Bu Yangming raised his head and looked at Peng Wanli in confusion, "They didn't answer, but the wind was blowing and the leaves were ringing." ”

"Who do you think sent the wind?" Of course they heard it, and answered. Peng Wanli said.

"What are they talking about? Can you understand?"

Their voices were filled with sadness. Peng Wanli said, "If your brother goes to the south, the tree gods of the north will not be able to take care of him, just as they cannot take care of the rest of the Buyang family." ”

Bu Yangming didn't expect this. He was afraid, if the patron saint of the north could not favor his brother, then what hope was there?

Maybe Peng Wanli heard it wrong, Bu Yangming thought, maybe he didn't know how to talk casually.

Bu Yangming tilted his head and listened, this time he heard the sadness in the wind.

He heard the grief, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Two days later, when the morning light stained the thin clouds in the sky, the north wind was fierce.

Bu Yangming was tied to the back of a fallen leaf and said goodbye to his brother outside the city gate.

"My brother, now you are the Lord of the Northern Underworld. Bu Yangfei told him.

Bu Yangfei rode on a sturdy horse of maroon, the shield hung on the left side, and the wooden shield, covered with iron sheets, depicted with the head of a wailing snow wolf. He was dressed in fur leather, silver chain mail, a long sword hanging from his waist, a short knife in his boots, and a cape trimmed with fluff trim on his shoulders, embroidered with the Buyang family crest.

"Thou shalt do my office as my father's office until we return. ”

"I know. Nine-year-old Bu Yangming replied pitifully.

He had never felt so lonely, so scared.

The relatives left the North Underworld one after another, and now, he is left with a child who can't walk.

"Listen to Master Su Beihe's advice, my mother is coming back soon, I will bring my father back, I swear with my life. ”

After Bu Yangfei finished speaking, he turned the horse's head.

The sturdy figure of the north wind followed him, running beside the war horse.

The Northern Underworld City is composed of more than a dozen families. Outside the city, there was a cheer, this is the people of the North Underworld City are flying in the middle of the farewell, farewell to the lord of the North Underworld.

The flying cloak fluttered in the wind, the north wind galloped beside him, and behind him were tens of thousands of tigers and wolves.

In the days that followed, this picture was deeply fixed in Bu Yangming's mind.
