Chapter 61: March, Tianxiong Pass
Seeing this, Yun Yu glanced at Mu Qingyue, and did not reach out to take the jade box, open it and study it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Instead, he said with a straight face towards Yu Qi: "Brother Yu Qi, we all know that you are a man who keeps his promises, but if you want to give us such a rare thing, you have to tell us that there are more than four Cheng Dan?"
"Yes, Brother Yu Qi needs to tell the truth, otherwise we will be uneasy if we accept it. Mu Qingyue also answered.
"Haha, I feel happy when I talk about this, this time I entrusted the blessings of the two people, and I actually became six pills at a time, so I sent two directly, and I still have a surplus. Yu Qi replied happily.
Seeing in his heart the reaction of these two to such strange things, he couldn't help but secretly approve. I feel that the hearts of the two of them are extremely sincere, not only do not think about their own vital interests, but also think about their friends, and they are friends worth befriending.
Yun Yu heard Yu Qi's Cheng Dan number this time, so he smiled and nodded, and glanced at Mu Qingyue, who took out a wooden box from the table and placed it on the table.
"Brother Yu Qi, since you are sincere in giving gifts to the door, then we don't need to accept it politely. But the little things in this box, please also ask Brother Yu Qi to accept them. This is a meeting gift for the two of us to Brother Yu Qi, please don't refuse. Yunyu stood up and pushed the wooden box in front of Yu Qi's table, and spoke.
"What is this? Can I open it and take a look?" Yu Qi was originally a cheerful person, and when he saw this, he asked him, he wanted to see what kind of gift it was, if it was not something that was particularly cherished, it would be okay to accept it.
"Feel free, Brother Yu Qi. Yunyu replied.
"Hey, it's ....... Yu Qi opened the wooden box placed in front of him, and saw that it was two black stones the size of a fist, with a slight white light on the surface, and he didn't realize what this thing was, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, Brother Yu Qi, this is the harvest that I and Qingyue have gained on the way back, it is a kind of cherished ore that can be added to the production of high-grade cloud tools. Yun Yu replied, he didn't say that these two pieces of Wuhuang stone were superb, nor did he say that this grade was almost impossible to see, for fear that Yu Qi would not accept it.
"Oh, then you gave it to me, don't you have it yourself?" Brother Yu Qi didn't know the preciousness of this stone, but he was afraid that the two of them would only harvest these two pieces and give them to themselves.
"It's okay, Brother Yu Qi, just like you just said, we also have this stone. Yunyu replied with a smile.
"Okay, then I'm welcome, take it. Come, let's have a toast. Yu Qi no longer shirked and accepted the thing.
Yu Qi then explained to the two of them how to take the Zhu Yan Pill! Let them prepare a large bucket in the room, because after using it, the whole body will ooze a body of oil, let them wash it, and then they can exert the effect of the pill.
Yu Qi stayed in the princess's mansion until the next morning, and then left. When leaving, let the two of them go to Jin Sang Kingdom to find him when they have free time, so that he can also do his best as a landlord and lead the two of them to swim.
......
A hillside top of nearly 100 zhang.
Mu Qingyue stood with Yun Yu and the five deputy commanders, and the other about 100,000 soldiers and nearly 20,000 war horses rested in the plain area under this hillside.
After nearly ten days of rapid marching, the newly established Howling Dragon Army finally came to Tianxiong Pass in the Tianluo Mountain Range, and at this time, there were seven people standing on the top of the hillside, looking at the city wall of Tianxiong Pass not far away.
In the distance, the sky was blue at the moment.
Below, a vast city wall of nearly eighty zhang stretches endlessly, and there is no end in sight. The battlements at the top of the city wall were much higher than where Yun Yu was standing, making it impossible for them to get a glimpse of the city.
"Ah, why is this city wall built so high? The main hall has observed several border gates, but their towers are no more than twenty zhang high, why do they need to be so high here? Is there any special purpose?" Mu Mingyue was surprised.
"Your Highness doesn't know that the walls here need to be built so high. Not only that, this Tianxiong Pass is a barrier to the border between the country and the Tianji Dynasty, and it needs to be strengthened.
Another reason is that it is surrounded by mountains, and the range of mountains is huge. There were bands of robbers who had gathered together into a single force, and each of them set up a mountain as king;
In the past, they often came here to harass the garrison and loot supplies. It wasn't until the military department Shangshu ordered the lord to inspect this place and saw this scene in person, that His Majesty was given permission to build the city wall here with a lot of manpower and material resources. ”
Dong Zhixiong, the commander of the Yellow Dragons, introduced to the others, his voice was loud and his explanation was clear and clear.
"How much manpower and material resources will it take, this city wall can't be seen at a glance!" Liu Gang, the commander of the White Friends team, was surprised.
"Haha, you must have thought that the walls you see here are all made of giant ashlar stones. Then you guessed wrong, the terrain of this Tianxiong Pass is peculiar, originally the bottom of the city wall is surrounded by a stone mountain range, but this mountain range has a degree on both sides, and the height is only about 30 zhang, it is easy to encounter the enemy to climb up.
When it was rebuilt, it was rebuilt with a boulder square to trim it into a straight line, and doubled in height to create its current appearance. Dong Zhixiong responded.
"It seems that Commander Zhixiong is very familiar with this place, I don't know where he got such information?" Yun Yu heard the conversation between the two and turned around and asked.
"Ah, Yunyu Gongzi, this is not from others, this is my own experience. I myself grew up in this city, and when I became an adult, I enlisted as a soldier in order to obtain the cultivator's exercises.
He won a military merit that year, and then he was transferred to the imperial capital. Dong Zhixiong saw that it was Yunyu who asked, and hurriedly replied. The five deputy commanders saw it with their own eyes on the school grounds, and saw Yun Yu with the courage of one enemy and a thousand.
And originally knew that he was the first talented person in the imperial capital, and he was a young talent who was a brilliant leader, and he was respectful of him along the way.
"Oh, I see. This is a coincidence, it just so happens that several of us are very unfamiliar with this place, and with Zhixiong's leadership and guidance, it will save a lot of trouble. Yun Yu responded after hearing this.
"Well, yes, if Your Highness and Prince Yunyu need to know something, their subordinates will definitely know everything! If we want to enter this city, we need to enter through the main gate, and it is impossible for other places to enter. Dong Zhixiong responded.
"Since we can only enter through the main entrance, let's see how the soldiers are resting, and if they have rested enough, let us set out and make our way to the city for the night. Mu Qingyue turned around and ordered.
"Huh!" the five deputy commanders hurriedly agreed, and then a burst of orders were transmitted, and the army set off and rushed to the main gate of Tianxiong Pass.
Sure enough, a huge city gate appeared in the distance, the city gate floated with three big characters of "Tianxiong Pass", the city gate was wide open, and it was clear to see in detail, there were two large rows of soldiers guarding the city standing at the city gate, checking the identity credentials of the people who entered and exited.
"That's?" Mu Qingyue rode on a horse, she was the one at the front of this army, and only Yun Yu was riding another horse beside her.
At this time, when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but wonder, and couldn't understand why only these two teams of soldiers were used to guard the door when the city was so open, as if the enemy country was attacking or the robbers who occupied the mountain were attacking. How can it be protected, that the wall is built so high, doesn't it still lose its effect?
Seeing her ask, Yun Yu hurriedly waved to Dong Zhixiong next to his head and motioned for him to come up and answer.
"Dodo...... , Your Highness, this place is a treasure land, originally in ancient times, there was a spar vein under this mountain range, but it has been mined for thousands of years. The hedron underneath has been emptied. However, the aura here is still abundantly abundant compared to other cities, so this city gate has been built by many array mages themselves.
In the event of an enemy attack, the city gate can be closed in an instant if a cultivator touches the mechanism inside the wall. Prevent the enemy from entering the city in large numbers through the gates. Dong Zhixiong seemed to know what Mu Qingyue cared about?
Then he said: "Moreover, there are also a large number of cultivators hidden in the shadows above the city wall, monitoring the surrounding scene outside the city, and if there is anything abnormal, they will definitely notify the guards of the city gate to retreat and close the upper city gate."
And if only a small number of cultivators came here and wanted to do something bad or intend to cause chaos, perhaps without our military to suppress it, it would have been cleaned up by the cultivators in the city. ”
"Why is this, how many cultivators are here?" Mu Qingyue couldn't help but ask again.
"Your Highness doesn't know that this area is already rich in spars, and spars are the source of spiritual energy that cultivators need to use to improve their cultivation;
Therefore, since thousands of years, there have been many cultivators living in the city, some of them are family-style, some are alliance-form, and more are casual cultivators, and all kinds of shops have been opened in it, and so on.
When his subordinates left the city five years ago, the number of cultivators in the city was about a million!" Dong Zhixiong introduced.
"There are so many million cultivators?, are there any strong cultivators?" asked Mu Qingyue in surprise.
