I don't know how long I walked in the snowfield, but the endless white almost made people lose their way. As if he had been here, Xie Ling rode a horse to lead the way, and those women from the Akabane Division, perhaps after a few days of travel, had gradually faded away from their heart-rending wounds. Although there are still occasional sobs, it is a great improvement compared to the scene of dozens of people crying collectively at every turn a few days ago.

Suddenly, hundreds of people appeared in the snow on both sides, and they aimed their bows and arrows at the group vigilantly.

With Qin Fei's cultivation, he had already discovered that there was an ambush here, but since he didn't say anything, Qin Fei didn't bother to say it. He is indeed a very lazy person, and if there is really any danger in the ambush of hundreds of people, of course, he will solve the problem by solving the bell.

The woman of the Akabane tribe was once again frightened and touched her tear ducts, and she cried bitterly.

Xie Ling pressed the horse's head and shouted, "Is it a man and a horse in the tendrils?" Is your patriarch Aini or Harik now? ”

The hundreds of people in the encirclement looked at each other, but they didn't expect a strange Jiangnan woman to call out these two names in one bite! While he was hesitating, one of them replied loudly, "Now the patriarch of the tendrils is neither Aini nor Harric, but me...... Batur! Hey...... My God, is it Sister Jieling? God bless the snow mountain, my sister really came to see me again......"

Xie Ling smiled and nodded at him, and called softly: "It turned out to be the younger brother of Batur back then, and now he has grown up and become the patriarch!" ”

The man walked quickly to the bell, excited. Qin Fei looked at him coldly, the tendrils really lived up to his reputation, this man's face was full of thick beard, almost blocking half of his face. The beard is curly and intertwined, and the mouth is barely visible when you speak. He was very tall, with a round waist and a four-foot-long mace in his hand, and the shining spikes were chilling, and the weight was forty or fifty pounds? For an alien, it is rare to be able to wield such a heavy blade.

Batur's expression was a little gloomy, and he whispered to Xie Ling: "Sister Xie Ling, they are all those hateful devils of the Chu State, my grandfather died in battle, and my father also died in battle." Now, I can only lead the tendrils to continue the fight. Until one day, all the tendrils were killed, or all the devils of Chu were killed. ”

"It turns out that Ani and Harrick are dead......" Thinking that the two old acquaintances were no longer there, Xie Ling couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Qin Fei was so screamed by Batur's sister that goosebumps all over his body were messed up. If you only look at the appearance, Xie Ling is in his twenties, but Batur looks at least forty......

"Where's Uncle Shui? Didn't he come? Batur asked curiously, and looked at Qin Fei twice.

He ...... was plotted by a traitor, and he is no longer there! Xie Ling's expression darkened, and he said faintly: "This is Qin Fei, who can be regarded as the heir of the clear sky." ”

"How is that possible? Uncle Shui's cultivation is so high, even if he has an army, it is impossible to harm him...... It must be a trick set up by the devils of the Chu State! It's so hateful! I'm going to avenge Uncle Shui...... Who killed Uncle Water......"

Batur shouted angrily, but Xie Ling said flatly: "Revenge? Of course I'm here, you and Qin Fei are close! ”

"Brother Qin!" Batur came up with a bear hug.

Qin Fei had at least seventeen or eighteen ways to dodge, and there were seventy or eighty ways to throw Batur out, but Xie Ling glared at Qin Fei, and the town governor had to reluctantly hug Batur in the Western Regions.

"Batur, these women!" Xie Ling pointed to the women behind him: "They are the only people left in the Akabane Tribe." The Northwest Army went on a killing spree in the Red Feather Department, and it happened that Qin Fei and I were passing by, and it was Qin Fei who rescued them. In the future, these poor people, I hope that your tendrils will be able to take them in. Don't let them become slaves of other tribes! ”

"Don't worry, sister!" Batur let go of Qin Fei and turned back to those archers and scolded, "Put down your bows and arrows and welcome our most honored guests back." Hurry up, send someone back to choose a little lamb to be roasted fragrantly. Take out all the good wine and meat......"

Xie Ling smiled and shook his head: "Don't be so polite. ”

"Yes, yes!" Batur was already smiling and rushing to lead the horse for the bell.

It wasn't far from here to the tendrils, and the men and horses walked slowly. Xie Ling drove Batur to lead the way, and then said to Qin Fei: "Twenty years ago, I traveled around the world with Clear Sky, saw all the famous mountains and rivers, and was naturally full of curiosity about the snow-capped mountains that no one had ever crossed. On the way to the snowy mountains, I saw all kinds of violence in the Northwest Army. Well, I have also formed friendships with many tribes. The tendrils are one of them. When I first came to the tendrils, I was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and Batur was still an eleven or twelve year old. The patriarch at that time was his grandfather Aini. ”

"You say he's in his early thirties? Make no mistake, right? Qin Fei muttered, "I think he looks like he can be your father......"

"Begging for a beating!" Xie Ling raised his horsewhip to make a gesture, but he still put it down: "Snow Mountain is really no one can cross, my cultivation was still shallow back then, and the clear sky has just stepped into the realm of the Great Grandmaster." Before I was halfway up the mountain, I couldn't stand it anymore. Clear Sky tried it alone, but it didn't work. He told me that when he climbed the mountain, at first his steps were fast, and he thought that the Great Snow Mountain was nothing more than that, but then it became more and more difficult, and in the last few miles, almost every step he took required a huge amount of True Qi to support. There was nothing he could do, so he came down the mountain......"

Xie Ling was smiling, and the reflection of the sun through the snow-capped mountains shone on her face, looking extremely holy.

"At that time, we made an appointment, and when I set foot in the Great Grandmaster Realm, we would join hands to conquer the Snow Mountain. Now, I'm here, but he's gone! ”

"If Master Shui is still here, with his cultivation today, he must have a much greater chance of success." Qin Fei sighed.

Xie Ling smiled sadly and quietly changed the topic: "You have seen the Northwest Army's violence against the Red Feather Division. Okay, what do you think? ”

"Is this the behavior of a group of soldiers, or is it the same for the entire Northwest Army?" Qin Fei asked.

Xie Ling sneered, and from her mouth, an amazing inside story was revealed.

When the state of Chu was in place, it had borders with Wei, Tang and Wu, and there were wars with each other. The soldiers and horses of the Chu State are not excellent, and they always lose more and win less. About a hundred years ago, a Chu emperor came up with a genius idea with a pat on his head, and later formed a routine. After the Chu army was conscripted in various places, after several months of training, it was first replenished to the Northwest Army. At that time, there was no war in the northwest, and the aliens who were still nomadic fishing and hunting, and used bronze weapons, lived silently in this snowfield.

They lived by grazing, fishing, and hunting, and the tribes occasionally fought, but they never challenged the Chu army, which they seemed to be extremely powerful. At that time, the Northwest Army did not undertake the task of garrisoning the border, but more to trade with foreign races, exchanging war horses and other items.

As soon as the Chu Emperor slapped his head, the northwest became a place for military training. The recruits who had just enlisted lacked combat experience and were sent directly to the Jiangnan camp or the Wei-Tang border, and they were easily defeated by the opponent's veteran soldiers. However, after that, the recruits of the Chu army first launched large and small wars and massacres against foreign races in the northwest, saw blood on their bodies, and trained in actual combat......

"This ......" Qin Fei was stunned.

Xie Ling said coldly: "Where there is oppression, there is resistance." At first, the Chu army could easily beat the aliens to the ground, rob their horses, cattle and sheep, kidnap their women, and sell their children. Aliens who wield antique weapons are no match at all. ”

But more than a hundred years have passed, the wishful thinking of the Chu army is getting worse and worse, and the aliens have experienced a hundred years of war, although they are not yet the opponents of the Chu army. But they had learned to use iron weapons. At the beginning, the aliens knew that they lined up, and once they found the Chu army, they howled and mustered up the courage to rush forward. As a result of the battle, either the Chu army was killed to the point of blood, or he was killed so much that he cried his father and mother. Of course, they beat twenty times, and nineteen times they cried for their fathers and mothers. ”

"The aliens are different now, their tribes are communicating with each other, and there are gradually leaders who are good at using soldiers. Luring the enemy, encircling, and concentrating superior forces to completely annihilate a small group of Chu troops became their favorite tactics. They also began to avoid a head-on confrontation with the powerful Northwest Army. As in the previous scene, it may be that the tendrils spies spotted the anomalous horse team, and then their warriors hid in the snow wrapped in cloaks. If this is a cavalry team of the Chu army of dozens of people, in the face of a surprise attack of hundreds of people, a round of arrow rain is enough to kill half of the people! ”

Qin Fei said slowly: "The masters are all played, and the generals naturally grow up on the battlefield. ”

"It's nothing." Xie Ling said with a smile: "I heard that the tribes in the northwest are interested in forming an alliance, electing the Great Khan, leading them to fight against the Northwest Army, and retaking the Northwest Snow Plain in their hands. Don't underestimate it, if all the tribes really united, their Great Khan would have more than 100,000 troops, and almost all of them cavalry. At that time, the Western Regions frontier of the Chu State was really going to have a headache......"

Qin Fei pinched his fingers and calculated, the standing army horses in the Western Regions were only seventy or eighty thousand, and most of them were new soldiers. If the alliance between the clans succeeds...... The Western Regions will sooner or later become the second northern frontier.

Xie Ling called Batur and asked, "Batur, when is the Great Khan going to be elected by the various ministries of the Western Regions?" Are you sure you will choose? ”

Batur waved his hand again and again: "Sister, don't make fun of me, all the soldiers in the tendrils add up to more than 7,000 people, ranking fourth in the snow field." Neither my martial arts nor my prestige, nor my tribal strength, is enough to convince the public. The position of the Great Khan, where will it be my turn? ”

Qin Fei pointed at Jieling with a wicked smile and said to Batur: "If your sister Jieling is willing to help you, just a sweat position, for her, it's just a job of hooking her fingers." ”
