While Qin Luo and the mission were waiting for news, Yele Kanger would often come to the mission's tent to sit and talk to Qin Luo. Occasionally, he would take Qin Luo alone to go around the neighborhood. At this time, the snow that had been falling for two days finally stopped, and the weather was a little warmer, and it was no longer as cold as when I first arrived.

"Are you still used to eating and living?" Yelekon asked.

Qin Luo replied politely: "It's okay, it's just that the weather is a little cold." ”

"You should come in the summer, and in the summer, it's the best place to escape the heat." "Many herders like to come to Abu Shenglan in the summer, when the snow in the snow-capped mountains has basically melted except for the summit. My second sister's favorite is to climb Mount Abu Shenglan in the summer and see the scenery at the top of the mountain. ”

When Qin Luo heard this, he looked up at the Abu Shenglan Mountain in front of him, and saw that it was even taller than what he saw on the way here, and he couldn't see the top of the mountain. He asked, "It will take a long time to climb Mount Abu Shengran." ”

"Not really." Yelekon introduced, "At least ten days and half a month, every time the second sister climbs the mountain, she has to bring a team of good hunters, tents, dry food and other things, and when she reaches the top of the mountain, she will live on the top of the mountain for a day or two." ”

"Your second sister goes to the top of the mountain every summer?" Qin Luo asked.

"Yes, since she reached the summit of Mount Abu Shenglan at the age of twelve, she has fallen in love with mountain climbing. I go to the last one every year. ”

Yelekon and Qin Luo were talking while leading him to the foot of the Snow Mountain. He said to Qin Luo, "You haven't come to the foot of the mountain to pay respects." ”

Qin Luo nodded. He has been patronizing negotiations recently, where does he have the heart to worship Xiang Qiang's gods.

"Third brother, you're here." At this time, Ye Leyi came out of nowhere, she approached the two, looked at Qin Luo, and nodded slightly, "Mr. Qin, you are here too." ”

Qin Luo replied, "Young Master Yele took me to see Abu Shenglan Mountain. ”

"Abu Shenglan Mountain is a sacred mountain where the Chiwu Heavenly God lived, and it is the highest mountain in Xiangqiang." Ye Leyi looked at Qin Luo, "You've been here for three or four years, you should know the traditions here." ”

"Of course. It is rumored that after the 'War of the Gods', the Red Wu Heavenly God used his last divine power to create the people of Xiangqiang when his soul was destroyed. And let his envoy come to the grassland, protect Xiang Qiang, and bring civilization here. Qin Luo told what he knew about the history of Xiang Qiang.

Ye Leyi's eyes were really different when she looked at Qin Luo, and she said in surprise: "You actually know the 'War of the Gods'. ”

"I know a little bit about it." Qin Luo said modestly.

"I'll take you to worship the Holy Lan Mountain." Yereyi said this, and got down on her knees, her hands raised above her head.

Seeing this, Qin Luo also knelt beside Ye Leyi, followed her example, raised his hands high, pressed his right hand with his left hand, palms facing down, and bowed three times to the snowy mountain.

After the ceremony, Ye Leyi and Qin Luo got up together. She looked at her younger brother behind her and said to Yelekoner, "You go back first, I'll take Mr. Qin for a walk." ”

Yele Kang'er naturally would not object, he nodded and said, "Second sister, Qin Luo, then I'll go." ”

Qin Luo and Ye Leyi walked in the snow, their feet on the snow, "creaking". None of them spoke, and for a while, the snow-capped mountains were thousands of miles away, and they were silent for eternity. It was as if there were only two of them left in this white world, walking quietly in the snow.

Qin Luo looked sideways at Ye Leyi, this time she didn't wear the red skirt or any jewelry, just a red cloak, heroic and cool, a bit of the style of the racetrack back then.

"See what?" Ye Leyi has also practiced martial arts, although she doesn't squint, she can still feel that Qin Luo is looking at her.

Qin Luo smiled, "I heard Young Master Yele say that the second young lady likes to climb mountains. ”

"Yes, I do like it, the higher the mountain, the harder it is to climb, and the more I want to get to the top." Yeleyi said calmly, "When you look down from the top of the mountain, it is like standing on the top of the world, overlooking the sky. The world is big, and I am the only one. ”

Qin Luozhen didn't expect that Ye Leyi would have such a mind and ambition, he remembered a poem, and involuntarily read it, "It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance." ”

"That's right." Ye Leyi nodded, "It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance." That's how it feels. ”

"The second lady doesn't let her eyebrows shave, and she admires it." Qin Luo said.

Ye Leyi smiled and didn't say anything, she pointed to the front and changed the topic: "In front is the Chishui River, which is the holy water of the Snow Mountain that nourishes our Chishui Department, let me take Mr. Qin to take a look." ”

The news of the defeat in the first battle of the Zhanlu Prairie reached the Golden Palace, and Tuoba did not sleep for three nights. He and his second brother Tuoba Ling were studying the playing style around the map every day. Tuoba said in a low voice: "Don't blame Alam for this battle, the Black Panther Cavalry is too strong, and only our Qingyun Iron Guard can resist it." ”

"It was indeed unexpectedly that Mozangdag let the Black Panther cavalry go into battle as soon as they clashed. And we don't dare, the Qingyun Iron Guard is responsible for guarding Danyang City, defending the Khan and the Golden Palace. Tuoba Ling also had to admit that it was really courageous for Mozang Dag to directly call his own descendants. In this battle, Qingyun was convinced.

"Send troops to support again?" Tuoba asked.

Tuoba Ling said pessimistically: "The Qingyun Iron Guard is our last hole card, and it cannot be easily mobilized. There is no news from the Chishui Ministry yet, and when Qin Luo talks to them, I don't know when it will be. ”

"Then what should I do, just let Alam fight with the Black Panther Cavalry?" Tuoba Yan asked, "If you continue like this, you will definitely lose." The Zhanlu steppe will definitely be lost. ”

"As long as Danyang City is kept, Qingyun will not perish." The more difficult the time, Tuoba Ling became more and more calm. He knew that the loss of the Zhanlu Prairie was only a matter of time, and the most important thing now was to keep Danyang City and the Golden Palace.

On the Zhanlu steppe, the soldiers and generals collapsed on the grass. Just went through a fierce battle, and everyone was exhausted. Some people fell asleep on the ground without removing their armor. Some people were cleaning their wounds, and when they didn't have any powder, they bandaged them with strips of cloth to stop the bleeding. Some people looked at Mount Abu Shenglan and prayed that Qingyun would be victorious and that the war would end soon......

The Great Khan of Mozang was no longer a frontal attacker, but preferred to sneak attack. Especially at night, when they had just fallen asleep, they heard the sound of iron hooves, and Mozangdag led his black panther cavalry, and the cavalry swept towards him with spears and horses, like leopards.

As soon as he heard the movement, he immediately asked all the soldiers to get up, the cavalry quickly mounted their horses, and the infantry took up their shields and lined up in order, waiting for the arrival of the great battle.

The Black Panther cavalry was terrifying, shouting, brandishing their weapons, and rushing forward. Qingyun's ordinary soldiers were already suppressed by its momentum, and even their legs kept shaking. Seeing that the Black Panther cavalry was about to rush over, the soldiers in front threw their guns, but they dodged them lightly.

The speed of the Black Panther cavalry was extremely fast, and they broke through the infantry formation at once, easily breaking through Qingyun's defense. The two sides were caught in a scuffle. Gilicarang has been shouting in the army: "Keep the formation, keep the formation." "Unfortunately, some people were frightened and began to flee in all directions.

The two sides fought each other in the dark, and they couldn't see the situation clearly. At this moment, Alam led the cavalry and rushed over from the flank, blocking the attack of Black Rock. Behind him, waving his spear, Abtai raised his hand to knock over one of the opposing cavalrymen. With his amazing horsemanship and archery skills, Alem rode his horse and shot at the opposing knights.

Alem and Abutai cooperated, rushed into the battlefield with cavalry, and went on a killing spree.

Seeing that the other side was starting to counterattack, Mozang Dag of the Black Rock Department accepted it when he saw that it was good, and Mingjin withdrew his troops. They don't expect to kill all the Qingyun soldiers at once, they prefer to fight a war of attrition and slowly consume Qingyun.

After Alam and Abutai pacified the wounded, they immediately went to the military tent and discussed countermeasures with Jili Karang.

Alam said: "Black Rock is planning to consume our army. Although we outnumbered the Black Panther Cavalry, we couldn't stand their frequent sneak attacks. And the Panthers were so fast that we couldn't react at all. ”

"Historically, all the armies that fought against the Black Panther cavalry have failed. Now the morale of the army is unstable, and many soldiers tremble when they hear the name of the Black Panther Cavalry, and they have no confidence at all. ”

"It would be nice if the Qingyun Iron Guard was here." Alem said.

Ji Li Kalang smiled: "It was really a historic moment, the Qingyun Iron Guard against the Black Panther Cavalry, it is rare to see it in the ages." If I could witness this, even if I died, I would have no regrets. ”

The three elites on the grassland, the Qingyun Iron Guard, the Black Panther Cavalry and the Shuangchi Army, have not really confronted each other. No one knows which of the three is the most powerful. After all, the elite is used as the last line of defense, and it is easy not to go to the battlefield. It's still the first one to do it like Mozangdag.

Alem also smiled, he knew that it was impossible for the Khan to send the Qingyun Iron Guard, otherwise Danyang City would be in danger. You must know that Danyang City is very close to the location of the Mozang family, Parjia Xitang, and the Khan has to guard against it.

"It's dawn." Looking at the rising sun in the east, Jili Karang said to Alem, "Let the soldiers rise up and face the battle for the new day." ”
