096 It's very lively in the snowy mountains
The vast snow-capped mountains have been a natural barrier between the Chu State and the vast mountains since ancient times. The vastness of the snow-capped mountains is unimaginable to ordinary people.
There are scenic valleys, dense forests, rolling streams, and the occasional small plain. The people who live here are definitely happy.
It is a pity that there are too few such places to live with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. More of the endless wind and snow and thousands of cliffs.
On an unnamed checkpoint in the Great Snow Mountain, two Blizzard guards were standing in a wooden tower at the top of the mountain, watching the slowly marching army on the opposite hillside.
The slightly fatter internal guard tightened the bearskin coat on his body again, and said with a shrinking hand.
"We're starting to increase our troops again, and we've delivered a lot of supplies this time..."
The thin inner guard also looked at it for a while, "But isn't it, the entire plank road is full of... Look, isn't that Elder Shi's banner? He's back?"
"It's really, these two guys are consumed by the vast mountain... You say, what's been going on for more than 10 years? Well, why has the fight become more and more intense?"
"Yes, I remember when I was a child, the orcs in the vast mountains were quite honest, why did they work with us desperately for more than ten years?"
"Who knows? But I heard rumors that this war actually depends on our creation of the Huamen, it seems that more than ten years ago, there was an expedition team that ran into the forbidden land of the orcs, angered the orcs, and the fight ended..."
The skinny inner guard changed his face when he heard this, and he felt like he was covering the fat man's mouth.
"Why don't you want to die?" After speaking, he quickly looked around, for fear that there were other people around.
The thin man was a little suspicious, their sentry was at the top of a mountain, and no one patronized them at all, let alone people, except for the regular changing of the guard, and even the beasts were not willing to run here to drink the northwest wind.
The two looked at the continuous flow of teams on the opposite trestle, bored by the charcoal basin.
"Huh, look, isn't that the banner of the Jade Family? It's still the Qilin Flag, and the Jade Qilin is actually here..."
"That's, that's it, don't you see that Li Feiyang's Flame Banner? He's also on the front line..."
What these two brothers said is really right, Jade Qilin and Li Feiyang are struggling in this team.
The trestle was built more than 10 years ago and is now somewhat old. Li Feiyang looked at the abyss under the trestle bridge, holding the stone wall on the right with his hand, and scolding in his mouth.
"It's still like a bird, and I don't know how to fix it, build a guardrail, a handrail or something. So many resources have been allocated to the Hou family and the Shi family, and it seems that they are all in their own pockets..."
Before Li Feiyang finished complaining, the jade unicorn next to him spoke.
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? It's not easy for Uncle Hou and Uncle Shi to support this situation, what are you making noise about?"
After speaking, he looked back and forth nervously, and when he saw that the front and back were his own guards, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The jade qilin said softly, "Shut your mouth, we are on someone else's territory now, you don't cause trouble..."
As he was talking, a neighing of a pack horse suddenly came from the plank road ahead, and when I looked over, I saw a pack horse falling into the valley because of the horse's hooves slipping.
Fortunately, the horsemen were clever and clung to the planks of the trestle at the moment they fell into the valley.
Li Feiyang looked at it and shuddered, "The fifth, today I fell five horses and three people in one day." This is really not a place for people."
The jade qilin looked at the front coldly, and said contemptuously, "Who can be blamed for that, I am not good at learning..."
The words of the jade unicorn are too cold, and the cold makes people feel cold. A few outer disciples who were closer to him listened to the words of the Jade Qilin, and their hearts were like drinking ice water again in the third and ninth days.
What are you doing? Don't you just rely on having a good father? So many resources make you wasted, so you have piled up your position as the number one in the inner door.
If you have the ability to throw away the magic weapon, let's fight empty-handed, who is afraid of whom.
It seems that the slander is not the henchmen of his two families, and it is estimated that they are a few peripheral members who are not willing. The members of the personal guards beside the two young masters didn't dare to think so.
Although they didn't dare to complain, everyone had resentment in their hearts. After all, the road is too difficult to follow, and it is extremely dangerous. There are a lot of supplies being escorted, and everyone can't rely on spells to pass quickly, so they can only move forward little by little.
It took a day for everyone to cross the boardwalk and enter a small valley where they would camp tonight.
Taking advantage of the afterglow before the sun went down, everyone hurried to set up tents. The snow-capped mountains at night are going to freeze to death, and even the awakened can't bear it.
Jade Qilin and Li Feiyang sat on a boulder, looking at the busy crowd in the valley, and whispered about something.
"Damn, Shi Zhongxing is a personal vendetta, I can see it, this is helping the fire to beat us..."Li Feiyang said.
Yu Qilin smiled, "You just saw it?" Along the way, Shi Zhongxing talked to the two of us several times, and they all revealed the maintenance of the flowing fire, and it seems that the water jade of the flowing fire really came in handy..."
"Brother Yu, you have a lot of ideas, think of a way, we can't watch the fire be arrogant, if nothing else, we have to do it."
"Wait, we're not in Zhongzhou Mountain now, and the whip can't reach it..."
The more Li Feiyang thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he picked up a stone and threw it out, hitting the head of a tent guard. The guards didn't know the situation, so they turned around and glared and were about to scold the street, but when they saw that it was Li Feiyang, they quickly shrank their necks and went back to work.
Li Feiyang stood up, pointed at the guards and scolded, "Damn, you dare to stare at Lao Tzu... I'll smoke you to death..."
After speaking, he wanted to find a horse whip, but the jade unicorn was not in a good mood, so he dragged his shirt and pressed it to the stone again.
"Okay, I know you're upset, but those who achieve great things must have calm, you sit down for me..."
Suppressing the angry Li Feiyang, the jade qilin didn't know what he whispered in his ear.
Jade Qilin and Li Feiyang are calculating the flow of fire, and now there is also a group of people who are calculating the two of them. Just outside the camp in this valley, in the hidden place of a mountain peak, several figures were quietly observing them.
"Did you see it? That stinky boy of the Jade Qilin actually dared to play his own banner and embroidered a Qilin on it. Haha, I haven't won a battle, I actually dare to tree a flag, and I really think of myself as a baby unicorn..."It was the Ninth Master who spoke.
The ninth old man's side was Lord Feng, and after listening to the dirty old man's ridicule, he also smiled.
"Don't talk about the Yu family, even Li Feiyang's kid dares to plant a flag, the three flames embroidered are as ugly as the three bubbles of..."
The jokes of the two adults were so funny that even the guards behind them couldn't help but laugh.
The Ninth Master smiled, "What do you think? are you going to go down and teach them a lesson? These two boys are not causing trouble for your son..."
Lord Feng shook his head, "Good steel is not afraid of refining, and it can't be relented without a little tribulation." Actually, I would like to thank them, if it weren't for the two of them pressing step by step, they wouldn't have thought of self-reliance with their temper..."
"That's right, Lao Liu is a person who doesn't like to fight for power and profit, and it is estimated that he has instilled indifferent thoughts in your son for more than ten years..."
"Oh, yes. Are you really going to pass on this business to Xuanwu? Don't you keep it for your son?"
The Ninth Master's question seemed to be of great concern to everyone, and even the guards behind him widened their eyes and wanted to hear Lord Feng's answer, after all, the question of the successor was related to the interests of everyone in the dark ones.
"No, I won't let Liuhuo take over this business, he should have his own way. And he's on his way now..."
The ninth master was silent for a long time, "Then we have to prepare well, after all, that is my eldest nephew, and we can't lose him too much... I've heard that his mine has been in a bit of trouble lately..."
At this time, a guard behind him stepped forward, "According to the intelligence feedback of Lord Suzaku, Lord Liuhuo has pacified the civil strife in Peishui, and the resettlement of the displaced people is very good, and the more than 60,000 displaced people we drove over have all been successfully digested." Moreover, Lord Liuhuo has also trained a new army and opened two schools, and now both sides of Peishui are very prosperous..."
"However, some time ago, I heard that Lord Flowing Fire was looking for blacksmiths all over the world, and it seems that he wants to create something?
The Ninth Master thought for a while, and then thought, "Why does the little guy want a blacksmith to build weapons, or let's give him the hammer..."
After speaking, he also looked at Lord Feng with an inquiring gaze.
Seeing Lord Feng nodding, the Ninth Master asked the guards to go down and make arrangements.
"Jade Qilin and Li Feiyang, let's keep an eye on them. Go back and reveal some clues to those tribes, since they are here, we can't do without a greeting gift..."
"It's okay, this time while they are supplying supplies, let's plan and take advantage of the chaos to fight back. First, you can grab some supplies. Second, I can still drag these two boys and make the pressure on the Liuhuo side less..."
"The more powerful the orcs in the vast mountains attack, the more time we have to develop. By the time we dark ones stand in the sun... Creation Gate, just wait to weep..."
The Ninth Master listened to Lord Feng's bold words, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. is really worthy of being a madman back then, that is, he can have the ambition to change the world. Thinking of this, the Ninth Master said.
"I heard that Liuhuo exchanged a lot of water jade for gold, and relied on the water jade transaction to tie up with the Shi family and the Hou family, so we can't just watch it. Although I don't know why Flowing Fire wants so much gold, he must have his reasons, do you think it will help him?"
"You mean, let half a tael of gold come forward?"
"Yes, you speak. Let the half tael set up a counter there, with the influence of the half tael gold in the secular world, it is difficult for the fire not to get rich."
The moon was cold and the wind was clear, and the night of the Great Snow Mountain had finally arrived, but the cold mountain wind did not weaken the enthusiasm of the two people to talk, but the more they talked, the more excited they became, and they didn't pay attention to the army in the valley at all.
Just as the two were talking, a guard hurried from the darkness and knelt down on one knee and said.
"Report to your lordship, the Granny Wood of the Endless Swamp has suddenly arrived, and she is waiting for her in the camp behind the mountain..."
The Ninth Master and Lord Feng looked at each other, thinking to themselves, why did this reclusive old sister come here to find me? Could it be that something is wrong?
