Chapter 41: Strange Clouds [2]
Shushan, forbidden land.
Yu Feng had been standing in this cold wind for an hour, her body was covered with a thin layer of frost and dew, and the white snowflakes in the sky had gradually turned into pieces of goose feathers, but there was still no response from the high and desolate stone wall.
Whew-whew-", the wind howled, the trees shook in the wind, and the branches whipped in the air like whips dancing wildly.
The pine trees stood verdantly in the white snow, swaying with the bitter northwest wind, and let out a sharp and piercing whistling, as if deliberately defying winter.
In the early winter, like a beautiful, noble, reserved princess, dancing her magical veil, sending gusts of cold wind. Although there is no charming birdsong and flower fragrance in spring, no spectacular lightning and thunder in summer, and no attractive fruits in autumn, it also has a subtle beauty dedicated to nature, frozen snow, the whole world has become a big refrigerator, the mountains are shivering coldly, the river freezes and freezes, and the air seems to solidify.
But at this moment, Yu Feng had no intention of watching this beautiful mountain snow scene, and as time passed, his heart became more and more anxious.
The heavy snow came with the cold winter, the mountain road seemed to be made of silver, so bright, so bright, the long icicles hung in front of the eaves like a crystal short sword, and Yu Feng's breath also turned into a puff of white smoke.
He still stood there, and in a few moments the hot air that erupted from his mouth and nostrils condensed into layers of frost flowers, frozen around his fur hat like a silver helmet on his frozen red face.
The cold wind was blowing. The bare trees, like bald old men, could not withstand the attack of the northwest wind, and swayed in the cold wind.
The snow kept drifting and floating, and a good person turned into a 'sculpture' in the silver glow of the swan feathers, but he still waited, and there seemed to be such a strong belief and perseverance in his heart.
I don't know how much time has passed, Yu Feng's body seems to be really about to lose consciousness, but suddenly he feels a gentle warm current wrapping himself around, and a trace of soothing temperature like a hot spring slowly seeps into his body from his pores.
The snow that originally wrapped Yu Feng's body tightly turned into a little mist, and it started to steam directly from his clothes, and a little mist steamed up around his body, enveloping his entire face in it and making it difficult to distinguish. In the end, even the whole thing was wrapped in it, as if it had formed a solid cocoon.
In this way, after another stick of incense, the thick mist gradually dissipated, and Yu Feng's eyes were already radiant, but the look on his face was even more respectful.
"Disciple, thank you elders for your care, now that my Shu Mountain is in danger, please ask the elders to relieve me of the danger of Shu Mountain!" After speaking, Yu Feng knelt down on his knees and kowtowed respectfully.
As soon as the words fell, the waterhole on the opposite side seemed to be boiling and tumbling, and bubbles the size of soybeans stirred on it, and the water vapor condensed into the air, and it actually began to converge between Sumeru and merged into an eight-foot-tall figure, which was suspended above the waterhole.
"Junior, what is your position in the clan, and what is your business? Ask to see me? β
"Great Elder Qiyu, disciple Yu Feng, in the clan in the position of priest of Si You, now my Shushan is besieged by the Qin army, Shushan is in danger, and I also ask the elders to help and protect my future generations." After saying that, the priest bowed on the ground again, and his expression was extremely religious.
The tall figure hanging in the air did not answer immediately, but just stood there quietly, although the expression on his face was blurred, the priest seemed to sense that the elder was thinking about something, and it took a long time for the elder to speak again.
"Oh? Qin Jun...... I can't think of the Ying family's lineage, or refuse to give up, the old man and all the brothers obeyed the heavens that day, and never stopped him from the Ying's lineage to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and never thought that there would be today's disaster......"
"Great Elder Qiqi. The Qin army besieged my Shu Mountain with 20,000 elite soldiers and horses, and now that Phoenix Mountain has fallen, the mountain city is also in danger, and the great elder is invited to make a decision as soon as possible. The priest said earnestly.
"Well...... Go back, and I'll make my own decision later, and there's no need to rush it. β
After saying this, the phantom of the water vapor suddenly collapsed, and countless water vapor turned into flowing water and fell into the waterhole again, and the waterhole between Sumeru was calm again, not boiling, not rising, and not seeing the slightest sign of freezing in this ice and snow, the left and right water veins were still so murmuring into the water, and the qiΔ just now seemed to have never happened.
The priest slowly stood up and threw himself deeply towards the steep rock face, before turning and walking out of the corridor.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Qin army battalion.
The teams of Qin troops were still doing their duty in the camp in full order, their shoulders had already been dyed with snow, and hoarfrost could be seen on their hair and temples, and the cold knives and guns were also biting cold in their hands, but they still stuck to their posts.
At this moment, all the generals who were originally gathered together have already dispersed, and only Princess Yuyang and Jiang Yu are left in the camp tent, because Princess Yuyang has just issued an order, and the battalions immediately return to the camp to rest, leaving only a thousand men and horses to garrison the mountain city in case of a surprise attack by the Shu army.
In the mountain city, the children of Shushan have long been cleared, the dead have long been buried, and the living have been escorted to the prisoner of war camp to be strictly guarded.
The 2,000 Qin troops rebuilt fortifications and battlements in the mountain city, and even re-collected stones and rolling wood, and burned boiling water tung oil, as if they were ready to go, and even the few houses in the city were demolished, but this was mentioned by Jiang Yu.
Most of today's houses are wooden structures, at this moment the snow is falling and the two sides are truce, if the next day is fine, the Shu army releases flints and rockets, then these wooden houses will become a good accelerant, so although the Qin army entered the city, they still honestly lived in tents, and the wooden planks that were dismantled became the materials for their heating at this time.
The curtain of the Chinese army's tent is also closed at this moment, the hour is getting late, the candles on the four walls have already been lit, and there are two quite large braziers in the middle, the raging flames keep the cold of this early winter out, Princess Yuyang and Jiang Yu have not eaten, nor have they read, nor have they even spoken, they sat so quietly.
Jiang Yu's left hand was very on the desk, but his right hand was unconsciously tapping the table with his fingers, stopping and stopping without rhythm; Yuyang crossed his hands to support his forehead, closed his eyes and said nothing, but his eyelids kept shaking, obviously uneasy.
Suddenly, a report from the pro-soldiers came from outside the tent, "Your Highness Qiqi, sergeant, Xiangjun and Mrs. Xiang ask to meet." β
Princess Yuyang's spirit suddenly perked up, and she stood up to "Xuanββ! β
