Shanshui Pass is the checkpoint leading from Xiuli Country to Shasu Country. The caravans lined up in long lines to prepare for customs clearance, and the city gate was constantly filled with Hughli cavalry coming in and out, and although the trade route was not closed, you could feel the tension in the air before the war.

Yan Zefu went to the front to inquire about the news, and came back with a blue face, and told Jiang Anyi in a low voice: "The situation is not good. The 100,000 allied troops of Rong Mi and Jusu have already assembled in the territory of Weiche, and a big war may break out at any time. Our great general, Tsubi, is mobilizing his army and horses to prepare to defend against the invasion. ”

Jiang Anyi asked, "Did the Hugh Li Congress send troops to intervene?" With so many cavalry coming in and out, it shouldn't be taken advantage of the fire to loot. ”

Yan Zefu did not answer, and looked worriedly in the direction of Xinyi City, where his family lived. The area of Shasu is not large, if there is no resistance, the coalition army may attack the city of Xinyi in two or three days, and when the country is ruined, his fate will be the same as that of the old man of Zheng Guo in the carriage.

Out of Shanshui Pass, thirty miles ahead is the border city of Shasu Kingdom, Moyan City, Jiang Anyi asked: "How far is this from Xinyi City?" ”

"There are still two and a half days to go." Yan Zefu said.

"It's been too long," Jiang Anyi said: "The situation is urgent, I'll take someone to go first, and you take the caravan to catch up behind." ”

Yan Zefu wished that Jiang Anyi would go to put out the fire earlier, and immediately called a young man from Shasu, saying: "His name is Xirupa, and he is a servant of the Tule family. Let him take Gongzi Jiang to Xinyi City, and then the old man Tule will arrange for you to enter the palace. ”

Jiang Anyi took Park Tianhao and Chen Han and followed Xilupa's four people and eight horses to Xinyi City, and finally arrived outside the east gate of Xinyi City in the evening of the next day. In the distance, I saw flags fluttering above the tower, and soldiers patrolling back and forth, but the city gate was closed.

There was a pedestrian on the side of the road, and Shirupa jumped off his horse and saluted, and asked, "This big brother, why is the gate closed before the hour?" ”

"Martial law in the city, saying that it is a search for spies, and we must enter the city and wait for tomorrow." The man walked away, leaving the four men face to face.

Having already come to the city, Jiang Anyi didn't want to waste time waiting for the result, and said, "I have to find a way to enter the city." ”

The four men remounted their horses and circled the city walls. Xinyi City is generally arc-shaped, about two zhang high, steep and straight upward, the city wall is made of stone blocks, smooth and without gaps, it is impossible to climb up with bare hands. The weather was cold, and Jiang Anyi noticed that the outside of the city wall was covered with a thin layer of ice, and there was no place to borrow.

Chen Han said softly: "You can use the flying grab to climb in." "Chen Han is a native of the rivers and lakes, and he often travels between the Western Regions and Zheng Guo when Long Wei is on an errand, carrying this essential tool for climbing high and crossing the wall in his bag, and he can also be used as a weapon when it is critical.

Jiang Anyi took the flying grab, and saw that this thing was shaped like an eagle's claws, four toes, three in the front and one in the back. The front three toes are three segments, the hind toes are two segments, and the joints are connected with organs, which can be expanded and contracted freely. The toe tip is sharp enough to hook objects, and the base of the toe is inserted into the toe hole like the palm surface. The palm is placed on a circular iron ring, and a string is tied to the ring, and a rope is tied behind the ring.

Chen Han took it in his hand to indicate the usage, when he used it, he held the flying grab, raised it violently, and the four toes of the flying grasp were unfolded, and when he hit the object, the toes were buckled, and the rope was pulled violently, and the four toes of the string were pulled together, so that he could firmly grasp the target.

After eating and resting for a while, Jiang Anyi practiced flying for a while, and saw that the sky had darkened, and the four of them looked for a place to climb along the city wall. The torches on the city wall were bright, and there was a faint sound of talking, and the battle was imminent, and the guards were very tight. In order to avoid alarming the defenders, Jiang Anyi decided to enter the city alone, and on this trip, Jiang Anyi rode charcoal, brought a thunder gun, a moon-killing knife and a star-shooting bow, all of which could not be missed.

Wait until the second watch, the movement on the city wall is much smaller, now is the coldest time in winter, there is no shelter on the city wall, the cold wind is biting, it is difficult to stand for a long time, those soldiers gather around the brazier in the shelter to keep warm, and the generals who lead the team are too lazy to investigate as long as they go out on patrol on time.

Jiang Anyi quietly came to the city, with the Moon Killing Knife behind his back, and broke into the royal city alone, with a blade to defend himself. Chose a slightly dark place, Jiang Anyi leaned on the city wall and listened, the neat footsteps of the patrol team had just passed, and it was quiet at the moment, and the next shift would be in a quarter of an hour.

Raise your hand to throw the flying grab towards the city wall, the sound of "horn" fell in the city wall, stretched out his hand and tugged, grabbed the hook firmly, and the rope in his hand was tight. Jiang Anyi waited quietly for a moment, did not hear anyone coming to check, and confidently and boldly climbed the rope to the city wall.

The cold wind was howling on the city wall, and there were a group of Shasu soldiers chatting around the brazier in the shelter more than ten zhang away, and no one noticed this side at all. Put away the flying catch, Jiang Anyi took advantage of the flickering shadow of the banner and went down to the city unconsciously. Jiang Anyi was not familiar with the royal capital of Shasu, but he remembered that there was a large square in the city, and when he arrived at that square, he walked east to the Tule family.

The style of Shin-Yi Castle is completely different from that of Aino Prefecture, with buildings made of white and red marble that exude warmth in winter, with tall and sharp roofs or vaulted domes, curved arched gates and inlaid with delicate patterns, and a wide street that can accommodate six horse-drawn carriages in parallel. Jiang walked along the street to the square of Xinyi City, the square is paved with black and white granite, and in the center is a sculpture of water spraying, Jiang Anyi and Luo Na have come here to play, and they know that following the direction of the left hand of the statue is Tulejia.

It was late at night, there were no pedestrians on the street, Jiang Anyi walked on the street of memory, gently knocking on the thoughts in his heart, everything about Luo Na began to recover soberly, and a smile touched Jiang Anyi's heartstrings, making him can't help but smile, imagining the appearance of his unmet son, and his steps became urgent.

In front of Tule was Tulejia, there was a sound of talking in front of the door, Jiang Anyi paused, his figure was hidden in the dark shadow of the arc of the door, and he looked around. There were hundreds of soldiers in front of Tule's house, standing still with knives and guns in their hands, looking like guards. By the light of the torches, Jiang Anyi found that the gate of Tulejia had changed, there were more exquisite flower beds, and the marble floor was replaced by grass, although it was winter, the grass was still green and pleasant, and it seemed that after Luo Na became the princess, Tulejia rose with the tide.

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Anyi felt that it was unlikely to enter from the main gate, but when he turned to the back door, there was actually a team of soldiers at the back door, Jiang Anyi frowned, it seemed that the situation had changed, and Tulejia was surrounded by people. It was difficult for Jiang Anyi to enter the house, so he found a place where no one was around, Jiang Anyi jumped on the wall and fell into the yard. Judging the direction, Jiang Anyi walked towards the place where Tulebu lived. The old man's residence was still lit up, and there were guards at the door, and there was a faint sound of talking. Jiang Anyi appeared and walked towards the light.

"Who?" The guard in front of the door noticed the uninvited guest, drew his knife and asked loudly.

"Zheng Ren Jiang Anyi."

The people in the house heard the voice, the door opened, and the old man Tule and his three sons appeared, and it seemed that the father and son were discussing things in the house. Seeing Jiang Anyi smiling under the lights, Tulebu smiled happily: "Anyi, you are here, Rona is saved, please come into the house." ”

Waiting for Jiang Anyi to sit down, Tulebu said impatiently: "Zan'er, you tell Anyi about the current situation first." ”

Tulezan is the third son of Tulebu, although he is the youngest and the most capable, after Rona became regent, he was promoted to become the minister of state, and together with his two elder brothers, he controlled the government of Shasu Kingdom, Tulebu was hidden behind the scenes, secretly giving advice. Dushera suddenly fell ill, and Tulebu immediately made a decision, wooed the great elder of the Pahuo Sect, Siji, and ordered the maid Jiduo to falsely pass on the king's order in ventriloquism, let his granddaughter Rona be regent, and forced away the prime minister Gai Yinghe, and the Tule family overwhelmed the political opponents and monopolized the dynasty.

However, Rong Mi took advantage of the chaos to raise troops and wanted to annex the Shasu country, but the Qianglan country was unwilling to rescue, and the other countries rode the wall to watch, and the Shasu country fell into crisis. Tulebu remembered Jiang Anyi's courage back then, with such a fierce general leading the troops, why not be afraid of the Rong Mi coalition army, maybe he could take advantage of the victory to ask for some benefits. So he secretly sent Yan Zefu to ask Jiang Anyi for help with his hair on Long Gai, and with his understanding of Zheng Ren, Jiang Anyi learned that Long Gai was his son and would inevitably come to the rescue.

Everything was in Tulebu's calculations, who knew that the general had ambitions, and in the name of resisting foreign enemies, he transferred 20,000 troops into the city, blocked the four gates of Xinyi City, surrounded the palace and Tulejia, and forced Rona to abdicate to Dulonghai. On the condition of preserving the lives of the prince Dulonggai and the Tule family, let Rona marry him.

Fortunately, Lang Luo, as the Marquis, had 5,000 elite soldiers under his command to protect the palace, and the Great Elder Siji killed several assassins who infiltrated the palace, and the situation was temporarily deadlocked. He will send someone to guard Tule's house, send someone to send a message to Tulebu, and let him enter the palace tomorrow to persuade Luo Na, otherwise he will slaughter Tule's family and then enter the palace.

Ren Tule has a thousand clever plans, and there is nothing to do when he encounters a very unreasonable butcher, and the father and son have discussed in the middle of the night and have no good plan, and they are going to enter the palace tomorrow to delay for a while, and it just so happens that Jiang Anyi arrived, and it may be another situation if it is a day late.

Tulebu had high hopes for Jiang Anyi's arrival, and at the first meeting of the Tubao, Jiang Anyi killed the aggressive chief of the guard and the general of the sword, Su Shi, and saved the caravan; In the palace, Jiang Anyi fought fiercely and gave up, which caused the situation to be reversed, and Doshera unexpectedly ascended the throne, but it is said that the fate of the Tule family has changed because of Jiang Anyi. If it weren't for the princess's great significance to the Tule family, Tulebu really wanted to marry his favorite granddaughter, Luo Naxu, to this young man from Zheng Guo.

Later, Tulebu successively learned the origin of this young man from the mouths of the merchants who came and went, and knew that he was the extremely rare champion of the three yuan and the first in Zheng Guo, and the poems he wrote were sung even in Shasu Kingdom; Later, Jiang Anyi came to Huazhou to do the history of assassination, Tulebu admired Zheng Guo's culture, knew Zheng Guo's officialdom very well, and knew what it meant to be such a young assassin, so he firmly believed that the son Longgai born to Jiang Anyi and Luo Na would inevitably become a generation of heroes when he grew up.

His eyes fell on the scimitar that Jiang Anyi put aside, and Tulebu recognized that it was the magic knife that Jiang Anyi took from Su Shi's hand during the Battle of the Earth Fort. Thinking of all the legends about the magic knife, Tulebu secretly sighed that this time the moon killing magic knife was going to drink human blood again.
