By the time they returned to Xipingguan, the sun had already set, and the group was choked by the cold.

Until he returned to the camp, Su Yi couldn't help but shiver a few times, and muttered: "You said that our entire Qindi has four distinct seasons, but there, only a few dozen miles away from Xipingguan, it is covered with snow all year round." ”

There is nothing strange about the perennial snow-covered mountains, Xiao Yuan said: "We first explored the snow mountains today, only walking on the edge, we have already encountered wolves, the deeper we go, the more dangerous I am afraid, the surrounding villagers, it is not unreasonable to regard it as a forbidden place." ”

As he spoke, he added: "Presumably, this is also the reason why Xirong has never passed through the snow-capped mountains, and there must be fierce beasts in the depths. ”

"What's next for you?" Zhao Mu asked.

Xiao Yuan groaned: "En...... This snow mountain, I must still have to go to it, if I don't figure it out, the official is uneasy, if there is really a snow clan, the woman before must be. However, let's wait for the next batch of supplies from Qinzhou to arrive. ”

He has been stationed in Xipingguan for three months, although he brought a lot of grain and grass before, but he commanded 50,000 soldiers, and now there are more than 10,000 recruits, and the soldiers have to eat every day.

However, on the Qinzhou side, Liu Yuzhi has almost prepared the next batch of grain and grass supplies, and is preparing to be escorted to Xiping.

On the other side, Northridge County.

This place has long been occupied by Xijon, and rows of soldiers can be seen walking everywhere in the streets of the city.

To put it bluntly, this city is a springboard for Xirong to attack Xipingguan, and their rear troops will stop here to rest and recuperate, and then pounce on Xipingguan.

Inside the prefectural hall.

This year, the chief general of Xirong, who was responsible for attacking Qindi, was named Xianda, and he was also the main battle faction within Xirong.

He was about forty years old, with a bushy beard, loose hair, a cord tied to his forehead, and a circular ornament.

Their clothing and etiquette are different from those of Huaxia, at this time the Xirong people will gather, Xian Da also looked around, and said straight to the point: "In half a month, it is the autumn harvest season of the Central Plains, this time, we must enter the territory of Qindi and carry out a large-scale search." ”

As soon as his voice fell, someone said: "General, Zhao Mu of Xiping Pass, it is difficult to deal with, will we still attack this time?" ”

"No!" Xianda pointed directly to the map and said, "This time, let's go from here!" Hit them off guard! ”

"Snow Mountain?" When everyone heard this, they first glanced at each other, and then someone immediately said: "But general, last year, General Zhekang also had this plan, but he lost his troops in the depths of the snowy mountains, and there were too many fierce beasts in it, and our army couldn't pass through it at all." ”

The Zhekang in his mouth was the main general who attacked Qin in the past, but due to the unfavorable war, he could not break through, and this year Xirong was replaced by Xianda.

When Xianda heard this, he said unceremoniously: "That's Zhekang's incompetence!" As far as I know, in the depths of the snowy mountains, there is a group called the Snow Clan, and they have a kind of ability to resist beasts, otherwise, they can survive when the beasts are around. ”

"The general means ......"

Xianda sneered: "After many inquiries, I already have the specific location of the Snow Clan, our army can find them and let them lead the way, won't they be able to pass through the Snow Mountain safely?" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone first glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "The general is wise—"

A few days later, Xianda led an army of 20,000 and set out from Beiling and entered the snow-capped mountains.

They came in from the other side of the mountain, and at first they were not in any danger, but after more than an hour, they reached the edge of the snowy mountain, and they were also confronted by wolves.

Ke Xianda was well prepared this time, not only brought enough dry food, but also had a complete bow and crossbow, which was also expected by him.

There is no doubt that before the wolves attacked, under Xianda's order, the Xijon soldiers had taken the lead in bending their bows and arrows and launching random shots at the wolves.

The whining of the head wolf and the whimper of the pack of wolves rang out from time to time.

The arrows never broke, and the snow wolves were shot to the ground, but they still went forward one after another.

Under the impact, countless Xijon soldiers were also thrown to the ground, letting out a terrible howl.

"Quick! Protect the General—"

"Kill all these beasts!"

Shouting and screaming came and went.

It was a vicious fight, and the white snow was sprinkled with blood.

Half an hour later, a large number of soldiers and countless snow wolves had fallen around.

Seeing this scene, a Xirong general couldn't help but come to Xianda, swallowing his saliva and saying: "General, only on the periphery, we have lost so many warriors, if we go inside, ......"

Xianda glanced at him and said confidently, "Don't worry, although we can't pass through the Snow Mountain, we can reach the place where the Snow Clan lives. ”

Apparently, he had figured everything out before.

Then, 20,000 Xirong soldiers guarded Xianda in the middle and began to set off again, all of them on alert and nervous.

In this way, he stopped and stopped, during which he naturally encountered several fierce beasts, and finally threw down the corpse, and in the afternoon of the same day, Xianda finally stopped.

On the snow, he first looked left and right, then his face was full of excitement, and he pointed forward and said, "After about fifteen miles, it should be there!" ”

"Let's go!" As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Fifteen miles ahead, there were small peaks on both sides, and a small city in the middle, and under the snow, the city was vast, with hundreds of houses, and all of them were peaceful, and the laughter of children could be heard from inside from a long distance.

Inside the city, a woman in white is playing with a group of children.

She is about twenty years old, dressed in plain silk, without any powder, obviously like a cold beauty who does not eat fireworks in the world, but at the moment she has a warm smile on her face, and is playing a game similar to an eagle catching a chicken with a group of children.

From time to time, the laughter of children can be heard.

At this moment, a loud chirp suddenly came from the sky.

It was a snow eagle, hovering back and forth above.

The woman immediately looked up, her expression instantly turned cold, and she turned into the cold beauty again.

"Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden, play with us......" Seeing her stop, a group of children began to shout around her.

"You guys, go home quickly, obedient ......," the woman coaxed, and then raised her feet and walked into the distance.

At this time, a man also appeared out of nowhere, walked quickly to the woman, then knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Holy Maiden." ”

"Inform the clansmen that an outsider is coming." The woman's words were concise and to the point, and the look in her eyes became colder.

In her hand, she was still holding a jade flute, just a red rope decoration on the flute, and she didn't know where it went.
