In the narrow river valley, the Wucheng River lies quietly on the edge of the cliff, and the river surface is covered with a thick layer of ice. The entire valley is less than thirty meters wide, and everyone walks slowly on it, flanked by towering cliffs, which is a deep canyon.

The entire Qinyu region is surrounded by towering mountains, but only this river valley leads to the outside world, and few people generally know that those two mysterious little kingdoms are hidden here.

After more than an hour of walking through the canyon, the tour leaders Cook and Miller finally saw a section of the wall at the end of the canyon.

The city wall was full of soldiers, and on the northwest half of the wall, there were soldiers in yellow and green uniforms, and on the southeast half of the wall, there were soldiers in blue and yellow uniforms. Miller had only met a merchant from Qin Yu, but he hadn't really been here, and for this strange phenomenon, Miller couldn't help but ask, "Why, do the people of each of their legions wear different colors?" ”

Cook glanced at the city wall, then chuckled and said: "What, it is said that people are two small kingdoms, and the scale of this fortress is not small, it is estimated that each of their two kingdoms guards half of it." ”

"Oh!" Miller nodded suddenly and said: "It makes sense, the people of their two countries are really close, exactly like the legend." ”

Cook ignored him, rode straight to the gate, and asked the guards on the north wall, "Captain, may I ask you which country's guards you are?" ”

The guard replied enthusiastically, "Yo, isn't this the legendary Knight Knight?" Hello Hello, we are the guards of the Qin State, and welcome to us. ”

Miller also rode into the city wall, but he came to the southeast side, and he also asked the guards on the city wall, "Lord Guard, are you the guards of the Yu Kingdom?" ”

The guard also replied enthusiastically, "Yes, this side is full of our Yu guards. If this Lord Knight wants to come to my Chongqing country as a guest, we are very welcome, and if you are coming for the Qin country, then we will not be reluctant. ”

Miller hurriedly explained: "Ah, we are here to visit your Yu Kingdom, but we have a large number of people, is it convenient?" ”

Miller stretched out his hand and pointed to the canyon behind him, and at this time, more and more knights slowly walked out of the canyon, and they slowly gathered in the open space in front of the canyon, and the appearance of a large army began to gradually form.

Seeing this, the guards of the Yu Kingdom were shocked, and hurriedly rang the gong hanging on the city wall, warning everyone of the enemy's attack.

Soon more soldiers were gathered with arrows at the head of the city, and even the catapults were pushed up the walls, so frightened that Cook and Miller hurried away from the walls.

At this time, an officer appeared at the head of the city, and he saluted Cook and Miller and said, "I am the commander of the army of the Yu Kingdom, and I have always regarded Qin and Chongqing as friends with the Knight Kingdom. Today, all the intriguing knights are here, I don't know why, do you have to come to attack our Qin and Chongqing countries? ”

Miller replied with a salute and explained very cautiously: "Hello, Dear Commander of the Yu Kingdom. I am Miller of the royal capital, and since we Knight are being baptized by war, and now there are barbarians everywhere, our Duke has nowhere to go, and wants to borrow your national treasure to rest, and I don't know if I can. ”

The commander of the Yu State sneered and said, "I'm afraid that if you come, you won't want to leave." You have so many knight armies, even if you want to occupy our Qin and Chongqing countries, it will be a matter of a snap of your fingers. ”

After listening to the great urgency, Miller continued to explain: "We definitely don't mean this, why don't you believe us? ”

The commander of the Yu State replied: "It's not that I don't believe you, the state is a big thing, and nothing can be played with. If you're just a handful of people, we're hospitable. But I'm afraid you're only coming with a whole knighthood, and I don't dare to open the gates of the city to let you in anyway, so I ask your forgiveness. ”

Cook had long been impatient to hear it, and he rebuked at the commander: "Where is all this nonsense, can you represent your king?" I warn you, we knights of Knight do what we say, and if you doubt our credibility, you will be insulting to us. You should know what we knights value the most, and if you provoke us, you're afraid that you can't afford the consequences. ”

The commander's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly changed his attitude, and replied very respectfully: "Everyone, please calm your anger, I definitely didn't mean that. Our Majesty the King has long set the rule that no one from the knightly kingdom in a procession of more than fifty is allowed to enter the city. So please ...... also"

Before the commander could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a woman's voice from the northwest side of the city wall, and the woman said, "You have so many rules in Chongqing, and you actually turn away guests from afar, is this the so-called friendship between you and Knight?" ”。

The commander lowered his head in shame, and he respectfully saluted the woman and said, "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Qin Kingdom. ”

Unexpectedly, as a princess, she would personally come to the head of the fortress to inspect the defense, which surprised everyone, and they were very surprised by the affairs of their Qin Yu Kingdom.

Then the princess of Qin left the city, and soon she appeared at the gate of the city, leading a team of guards to walk over.

Miller glanced at Cook, and the two hurriedly led the knights to salute the princess of Qin: "See Your Royal Highness the princess of Qin!" ”

The princess of the Qin Kingdom looked majestic, she slowly stretched out her hand and said: "You knights have worked hard all the way, since they don't welcome you in the Yu Kingdom, then please come to my Qin Kingdom as a guest, our Qin Kingdom welcomes knight friends from Knight very much." ”

Miller is very aware of the situation in Qin and Chongqing, compared to Chongqing, Qin's national strength is slightly weaker, and so many people going to Qin may cause some pressure on their food supply. However, now everyone has nowhere to go, and if they return to the territory of Wucheng, not only will they have no food, but they will also have to face the army sent by Cologne to encircle and suppress them. Thinking of this, Miller felt a little guilty, and wanted to be polite to the princess, but he was afraid that the princess would regret taking everyone in after listening to the number of people in the team, so Miller had to swallow all the words that came to his mouth.

However, Cook was a straight man, he didn't think about it so much at all, and said frankly to the princess: "Dear Royal Highness the Princess of the Qin Kingdom, there are more than 2,000 knights in our party, and more than 10,000 ordinary people loyal to the Duke. The number of people is indeed a bit large, but it doesn't matter, we will pay your country gold coins according to the daily consumption, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can borrow your country's treasure land for us to stay temporarily, and I promise that it will not affect the lives of the people of your country. ”

After hearing this, Princess Qin's brows tightened slightly, and she muttered, "There are so many people, this is a big deal." ”

After hesitating for a moment, the princess of Qin's expression returned to normal, she smiled and said: "It's okay, although my Qin country is not a big country, but my Qin country is strong and the people are rich, and the treasury grain reserves are very sufficient, and there is no problem in entertaining everyone for a year and a half, please don't be polite." As for what gold coins, then there is no need, you are distinguished guests, and it is an honor for the people of our Qin State to entertain you. ”

Hearing the princess say this, Miller's hanging heart relaxed.

Then the gate of the city wall on the north side of the fortress was slowly opened, and under the leadership of the guards of the Qin State, the knight army and the people drove the chariots and horses into the territory of the Qin State.

Along the way, the princess personally explained to everyone: "Don't laugh, everyone, compared to your knight kingdom, our Qin country is just a small country. Now that our king is old, I will take care of all the affairs of the kingdom. If you need anything in the future, just send someone to tell me, and I will do my best to entertain you. ”

After speaking, the princess pointed to the walls of the capital and said, "I will immediately send someone to set up a place for everyone to live in the city, but you need to give me a little time to make arrangements, after all, there are many people." ”

Miller hurriedly replied, "No, no, no, how dare we go into the city and disturb it." For us, we are just a bunch of displaced refugees, content to have a place to stay. Now, Princess, please divide an area for all of us outside the city, and we will set up a tent in the field, so that we will not disturb the people of your country. If Her Royal Highness the princess does not agree, then we will have to return the same way, and we will never be sinners who disturb the people of Chongqing. ”

Princess Qin smiled sweetly after hearing this, she nodded again and again and praised: "Sure enough, it is a knight of Knight, everything is based on the people, not bad." Well, it's just a matter of wronging the knights, and I'll send someone to divide the area for you right away. ”

After saying that, the princess beckoned to her guard, and then whispered to him.

Soon, on the west side of the capital of Qin, the Knight people got a huge open space, and Robitt and Cook immediately led everyone into the open space, set up a camp tent on the spot to house the carriages and horses, and temporarily built a simple camp.

When the camp was built, Cook gathered everyone together, stood on a high platform, and warned everyone to strictly observe discipline, and ordered everyone not to leave the camp without permission. Cook then assigned patrols to the knights to prevent anyone from going out over the walls to cause trouble, and Cook tripled his manpower on the patrol to prevent any mistakes.

After everything was settled, Cook accompanied Robitt and Miller to the surrounding area to see the terrain.

I saw that the land of Qinyu was flat, and the high mountains in the distance were faintly visible, and the top of the mountain was covered with snow, enclosing the land of Qinyu into a huge basin. The climate here is very different, and the outside world is cold winter before coming. But after entering the land of Qinyu, the world here is still flowers, birds, cordyceps and grass, and the earth still shows a piece of spring. Legend has it that the land of Qinyu is evergreen all year round, and this sentence is not wrong at all.

But it wasn't the most beautiful view, and when they got up early the next morning, they saw a thin layer of mist on the ground. The mist is shrouded and fills the four wildernesses, just like a real fairyland on earth, and the beauty of the scenery is rare in the world.
