On the endless plain of the Liaohe River, it is covered with snow.

The sun is rising, and the vast snowfield is covered with a faint red, revealing the charm of the wild everywhere.

A crisp sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the snowfield, and five young men in thick fur robes escorted a man in silver armor and a silver mask to gallop north, cheers and screams resounded through the four fields.

The man in costume is Zhu Qiming, the king of Yue. The five people around him were his close guards.

Suddenly, a masked man rode his horse and stabbed obliquely, blocking in front of the six people.

Zhu Qiming and the others hurriedly reined in the horse, and for a while, the neighing of the horse rang out.

The flush on the snow field has faded, and at this moment, the golden light splashes on the snow, which is extremely dazzling.

The masked man turned his horse's head slowly under the light, full of energy, and said word by word: "This road is open for me, this tree is planted for me, if you want to live from now on, leave the money to buy the road!" ”

The five guards looked around, and immediately doubts erupted.

"Where's the road? What about trees? ”

"Who cut down the trees and buried the roads?"

"If you cut down a tree or bury a road, you have to collect money, which cottage is the rule?"

The corners of Zhu Qiming's mouth exposed outside the mask curved into an arc, and said with a smile: "You have to be a bandit, this hero has mediocre qualifications, he is not born to be a bandit, he can only be a hero, if he is the commander of the guard, then it is very suitable." ”

The masked man ripped off the mask on his head and said blankly, "How do you know?" ”

This person turned out to be Liang Gang, the commander of the Yuefu Guards.

The five guards leaned back with laughter. Amid the laughter, one of the guards quipped: "No, we are almost scared just now, and Commander Liang will have to take out those jars of wine after he goes back to suppress our shock." ”

Zhu Qiming waved his hand and said quietly: "Master Liang leaves the Weining camp, what should I do with the more than 3,000 guards?" ”

Before the New Year, after confirming that the Warat army was far away from the border of Liaodong, Zhu Qiming led two battalions of cavalry to bring their own grain and grass and move to Weining.

Ever since he heard Leng Wuya inadvertently mention the Beihai Condor Gang, the past of the assassination in Lamp City more than ten years ago has been haunting him, and he wants to explore the traces of the remnants of the Beihai Condor Gang, find out the identity and background of the assassin, and re-investigate the old case.

The site of the Beihai Condor Gang is located on Sumeru Island east of the Liaodong Peninsula, and it is said that it has become a ruin, so he selected five close guards of his own age, and planned to rush to the Jianzhou Jurchen realm to find the survivors of the bloody battle between the Beihai Condor Gang and the Tatar warriors, if there are any survivors.

Unexpectedly, Liang Gang, as the commander of the guards, actually left his subordinates and chased after him without authorization, which made him a little difficult.

"The Liaodong Metropolitan Division has a large number of garrisons in Weining, and it is not our turn to do it when we encounter the police, besides, with Ouyang Changshi in charge and Tang Ji leading the army, there will be no chaos. I know a lot about the past of the Beihai Condor Gang, and without me, I am afraid that His Highness will not be able to gain anything. Liang Gang said.

Zhu Qiming felt that Liang Gang was reasonable, and this place was close to the Jurchen realm, and it was unlikely that it would be attacked by a large number of Warat thieves, so he agreed to Liang Gang's request.

Liang Gang had been to the Jurchen realm, although he no longer knew the original path, but the general direction would not be mistaken, so his arrival made Zhu Qiming and others feel a lot more worried.

Before noon, the group came to the Raven Pass.

The east and west sides of the Yahu Pass are continuous mountains, peaks and peaks, but here there is a mountain pass with a dangerous situation, which can lead to the north and south, and is the main passage for the Jurchen tribes to Liaodong and then to the capital for pilgrimage. However, the real fortification of the city here was not until 20 years later, during the Chenghua period, and there are only a small number of border troops here, mainly responsible for taking care of customs and defense affairs.

The group stopped here for a while, ate something, and hurried on the road again.

Because Zhu Qiming held the gold medal given by the emperor for entering and exiting the customs, he traveled unhindered along the way, and the seven of them soon set foot on the Jurchen realm.

In the evening, the seven of them arrived at the western foot of Zaotu Mountain, which was very close to Hetuala and Foala, where the Jurchen people lived.

The Jianzhou Jurchens were divided into three guards, and the leader was given an official position by the Ming court, and the family was hereditary. Among them, Jianzhou Wei is in Hetuala, and the leader is the commander of Tongzhi Li Manzhu. The left guard of Jianzhou was in Foala, and the leader was the commander of Dong Shan. The right guard of Jianzhou is in Gule Village, and the leader is the commander of Tongzhi Fancha.

Li Manzhu, Dong Shan, and Fancha all share a prominent Jurchen surname - Aixin Jueluo!

Dong Shan is the fifth ancestor of the Qing Dynasty Taizu Nurhachi, and Li Manzhu is the grandson of a certain father-in-law of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. Fan Cha is Dong Shan's uncle.

Zhu Qiming didn't want to disturb the Jurchen Sanwei and planned to camp on the spot.

There was a hut built by the hunters nearby, and it was stocked with fodder, so five guards led seven horses and went looking for a hut to feed the horses.

"It is said that the place of the bloody battle was nearby, and for more than 20 years, countless people have come to investigate, but they have never been able to find the scene of the fight, and all of them have returned in vain. Driven by curiosity that year, I came back twice for more than a month and found nothing. Liang Gang looked at the winding snow-capped mountains and immersed himself in the memories of the past.

Zhu Qiming threw down a piece of animal skin and sat down slowly. "I'm only interested in survivors."

"Survivors? Yes, the identity of the Assassin can only be found from the mouth of a survivor. However, it is said that both sides of the bloody battle were killed, and the chances of finding a survivor are now almost nil. Suddenly, Liang Gang's eyes lit up and he sighed: "Eh, the personnel on both sides must be either dead or injured, and if the seriously injured want to survive, they can only stay nearby to heal!" ”

"Commander Liang is saying that there are survivors around here?" Zhu Qiming's eyes widened excitedly.

Liang Gang shook his head and said, "God knows if there were any injured people who survived back then!" Besides, even if there is a survivor, after so many years, they will either die of old age or toss and turn, and there is little hope of finding that person. Your Highness, it's getting dark, I'm going to see the shack, I'm afraid I'll have to stay there tonight. Then he turned around and went east.

The reckless snowfields shimmer in the afterglow of the setting sun. At first glance, the sunset seems to be close at hand, but when you look closely, the sunset is in the first and second mountains······ Outside the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Zhu Qiming was intoxicated by the beautiful evening scene and forgot about his thoughts for a while.

Suddenly, there was a strange laugh not far away, followed by a figure flickering in front of the side, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Perhaps influenced by the wounded or the saying "stay nearby to heal", Zhu Qiming only felt a stirring in his heart, and immediately jumped up without thinking and threw himself towards the place where the figure was infested.

Feet on the ground, he felt a chill down his spine, without waiting for him to react, his feet were tied by two ropes and lifted off the ground, caught off guard, the inertia of leaning forward made him hold the ground with both hands, only to hear the sound of "jumping", his hands were also bound by ropes, and in a moment, his body was suspended a few feet from the ground.

Instinct told him that he had fallen into a trap laid by the hunter.

His martial arts are extremely high now, and it is not difficult to break a few ropes, but his limbs are bound, his body is in the air, and he can't use his strength, and he can't get rid of the trap by himself, so he can only wait for the guards to come to the rescue.

Suddenly, a woman wearing a "Chaoyun Near Fragrance" bun and a red Luo cloak arrived. It looks like she is dressed like a Han woman, but the cunning and brutality floating between her eyebrows can't deceive Zhu Qiming's eyes.

Syros Saihan, you enchantress!

"Jurchen is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the Wara army is coming, this is a provocation!" Zhu Qiming took the lead.

Saihan laughed for a while, and said very softly: "She is just a weak woman, and she brought two or three retinues to Zaotu Mountain to see the scenery, how could she become a large army to invade the Jurchens?" I can't afford it. ”

Weak woman?

Cunning and brutal like you, if you are a weak woman, then Sun Erniang is a lady!

Zhu Qiming secretly complained, and at the same time made doubts: Saihan came from the crowd, what happened?

"Twenty years ago, the Tatar warriors and the masters of the Beihai Condor Gang fought here, and both sides died in battle, and there should be a lot of abandoned martial arts cheats and peerless weapons, which is heartwarming to think about!" Saihan slapped the silver mask on Zhu Qiyue's face with the back of his knife, and continued: "It's been two days since people came here, I thought you would come here to find out, but you were even slower than a woman with small feet, so disappointing!" ”

It turns out that Saihan is here for treasure hunting! However, looking at the look on her face, she knew that she failed to do so, so Zhu Qiming had the pleasure of gloating in his heart.

"You set a trap and plot against this king, this is not a fair and righteous thing." Zhu Qiming said.

"Yo, you're really going to wrong." Saihan leaned closer to the silver mask and stared at it for a moment, and sighed: "People just think the 'four-legged catch' laid by the hunter is funny, and after laughing, they ran away, who knew that your curiosity was heavier than others, now it's okay, it's your wish, right?" Giggle·······"

Zhu Qiming looked at Saihan in front of him, and saw that her eyebrows were like spring mountains talking, and her eyes were like autumn waves, but he felt even more angry in his chest.

Enchantress!

Looks like a demon queen, and her heart is like a femme fatale!
