Chapter 197: A Thousand Miles Rush

The floating leaves have a slight study of the topography of the snowy region.

The moon god is the eastern gateway to the snowy region, bordering the Central Plains Empire in the east.

Xiyang City is close to the desert area in the northwest direction of the Moon God, and the Drifting Snow City is in the hinterland of the plateau in the southwest direction of the Moon God. The three places formed a triangular form, and it was too late for the floating leaves to rush back to the Moon God to stop the messenger of Drifting Snow City. So he decided to intercept the messengers sent by the Khan on the way to the Moon God in Snowdrifter City.

On the way from Drifting Snow City to Luna, you will pass through six major towns, and this route is one of the most prosperous trade routes in the snowy region.

The Wujiang Gorge west of the Moon God is the largest canyon in the West Moon Island.

Wujiang Canyon is about 1,000 miles long and runs through many places in the north and south of the snowy area, the deepest depth can reach two or three thousand meters, the whole canyon is different in width, the open place is dozens of miles wide, the valley bottom has formed a water flow similar to the lake surface, the river surface in this area is as calm as a mirror lake, the water flow is slow, and the microwave ripples.

The narrow section of the canyon is less than 100 meters wide, the water flow is turbulent, the drop is huge, and three waterfalls hundreds of meters high are formed within less than 100 miles, where the water is rolling and gushing and exciting, and the momentum is unstoppable.

Merchants from Drifting Snow City who want to cross the Wujiang Gorge from Linchi Town to go to the Moon God must pass through the Tianmen Pass Station.

The town of Linchi is located west of the Wujiang Gorge, where there are hotels and markets for passing merchants. The Tianmen Pass Post Station is located east of the Wujiang Gorge, guarded by a garrison, and also receives people from all over the territory of the Chijin Khanate.

Connecting Tianmen Pass and Linchi Town is a long chain bridge. In order to ensure the safety of the chain bridge, the horse was stopped from passing through the chain bridge. Therefore, anyone who passes through the Wujiang Gorge must change to a new mount or carriage.

Floating Leaf concluded that the messenger from Drifting Snow City would definitely change to a new war horse here and hit the road again, so he galloped all the way towards the Heavenly Gate Pass.

From Xiyang City to Tianmen Pass, there are countless strange peaks and dangerous ravines, and there is no passage at all, but the distance of the straight flight is relatively close, only less than seven hundred miles.

Floating Leaf estimated that his full flight speed should be a little more than two hundred miles per hour, so that he would have time to return to Xiyang City before dawn after finishing off the envoy of Drifting Snow City tonight.

Fushengye came to the Tianmen Pass as scheduled, he stayed on the top of the gate tower of the Tianmen Pass, and let go of his ears to listen to the conversations of more than 100 soldiers in the city pass.

Within a moment he heard useful news. A small leader in charge of reception in Tianmen Pass is reprimanding a slave girl who has done something wrong.

The little boss was punished with ten lashes for failing to clean the room for the slave girl who had come to Snow City.

Fushengye also heard the little leader reprimand the slave girl mention that the two messengers were going to the moon god, so he could basically conclude that the envoys from Drifting Snow City had just left from here.

It seems that the envoy of Drifting Snow City is also in a hurry, so he did not stay at the Heavenly Gate Pass for a long time. They just rested for a while, and overnight they changed to new horses and set off towards the moon god.

The floating leaves immediately spread their wings and flew up, searching for traces of the messengers of Drifting Snow City along the way.

There are hardly any pedestrians on the official road at night, but from time to time you can see wild beasts swaggering upstream on the official road.

The floating leaves flew for more than seventy miles, and found the traces of two fast horses at a place called Taohuagou.

In early summer, the chill on the snowy plateau gradually dissipated, and the peach blossoms in the peach blossom ditch have reached the end of their life.

The snowy peaks in the distance are still covered with snow, and the ruined peach blossoms have fallen like drunken clouds.

The sound of horses' hooves clattered through the woods, and the floating leaves suddenly landed on a hundred-year-old walnut tree.

The envoys of Drifting Snow City were all fast-eyed ensign-level warriors, and they were all startled when they saw a vampire king with red wings suddenly appear on the side of the road, and quickly grabbed the reins.

Fushengye didn't want to show his share, the murderous aura on him already said it all.

The shemales took different paths, and the two messengers of Drifting Snow City unhurriedly showed their sabers, but they were not confident that they would be able to escape under the claws of the vampire king.

Floating Leaf was the first to strike, claws as sharp as knives, and after a brief exchange with the two messengers of Drifting Snow City, he killed the two fast horses first.

When the Emissary of Snowfall saw his horse killed, he knew that the Vampire King was determined to kill them. They all had the determination to die, but they were determined to fight with the floating leaves without fear.

The kindness in Fushengye's heart made him unbearable to kill two innocent people for a while, but he had little time left to save Lan Ye.

Floating Leaf gritted his teeth and severely injured the two messengers, and when his claws grabbed the throats of the two messengers, and he could kill them with a little force, he hesitated for a moment, and did not make a move.

He put away his finger knife and clenched his iron fist with two "dong dong" knocks, knocking the two messengers unconscious. Then they found the letter from Snowdrifter in their bags.

Sure enough, there was a holy decree written by the Red Gold Khan. The content was also the same as what He Laisheng told him, the Chijin Khan ordered Gesang Yuzhen to immediately send someone to escort Lan Ye to the tomb where the seventeenth prince painted his face in Drifting Snow City after seeing this letter.

Fushengye angrily tore the letter to shreds, and then lifted the two messengers and flew up, leading them all the way to the barren mountains outside the Dawn Pass.

Outside Dawn Pass, the Dark Slave Hunters often operated, and the Floating Leaf stripped off their coats and hung them on a tall branch.

In this way, ordinary beasts will not be able to eat them.

By the time they were rescued, Lan Lan Ye should have been far away from the Moon God.

Su Xiao slept soundly in the military camp of the Xiangxiong Department outside Dawn Pass. In the past few days, he has been busy chasing the dark slave hunters, and he is tired and has always cramps in his legs at night.

In his sleep, he seemed to hear the floating leaves calling out to him.

Su Xiao walked out of the tent with sleepy eyes, pretending to urinate and came to the open space outside the tent, and sure enough, he saw a floating leaf in a black robe with a gold mask waiting there.

Su Xiao said excitedly: "Didn't the master accompany the county lord to God?" How did you end up here late at night? ”

Fushengye said: "Don't ask anything, listen to me." ”

Fushengye gave Su Xiao a task, asking him to immediately go to the territory of the Central Plains Empire to find Qi Lanye, and after finding it, he told her to immediately hide her share and rush to the imperial capital.

After Su Xiaode's order, he immediately summoned the fire-spitting dragon, skillfully rode on the dragon's back, and flew to find Lan Ye.

Seeing Su Xiao's such a skilled dragon control technique, Fushengye was full of emotion.

How proud and ferocious the fire-spitting dragon is, if it is not for the coincidence, and with great patience and courage, who can easily conquer a fire-spitting dragon.

After Su Xiao left, the floating leaf summoned a small golden eagle under the twin peaks and brought a letter to the painting heart. He asked Huaxin to put down the unimportant work at hand and prepare to take over the Lan leaves. And told the painting heart that in order to protect the Lan Ye can use all the existing forces, if it encounters obstacles, it can act cheaply.

After receiving the letter from the floating leaf, the painting heart will understand the determination of the floating leaf to protect the blue leaf.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to break with the Chijin Khan, if the Chijin Khanate dared to send people to the Central Plains Empire to chase after Lan Ye, Huaxin could kill those pursuers.

The Central Plains Empire was a vast alliance empire with more than 100 vassal states of various sizes under its rule.

The customs of each vassal state are different due to different regions. The vassal states bordering the snowy region are dai states. Under the rule of Daiguo, there are two states and four counties, the two states are Wanzhou and Yongzhou, and the four counties are Shangjun, Hexi County, Beidi County and Longxi County.

The border between Shangjun and Donghu in Daiguo has been constantly disputed, and the wars at the border have never stopped.

Longxi County borders the snowy region, separated by the Tianqi Mountain Range, and there is relatively no territorial dispute.

Before the rise of Donghu, Shangjun originally belonged to the territory of the Dongyi people, and there are still many Dongyi people living in this area.

The vacuum left behind by the eastward migration of the Dongyi tribe was divided up by various forces, and most of them were incorporated into the Donghu Eight Tribes. Daiguo took the opportunity to occupy the Shangjun area, where he domesticated war horses and trained cavalry.

Daiguo also built the Great Wall on the border of Shangjun, cutting off the free access of the Donghu people to the Guannai.

The king also set up a pass on the Great Wall to control trade, and all merchants who passed by had to pay high taxes and fees to the king.

The act of acting king seriously angered the king of Donghu. Because many of the materials urgently needed by King Donghu were classified as commodities and restricted from circulating outside the customs.

Under the gate of the Great Wall checkpoint, the most common commodity is jade, so the pass on the Great Wall of Shangjun is also called Yumen Pass.

With the prosperity of commerce, Yumen Pass has become a small city with a scale after decades of development.

King Donghu has coveted Yumen Pass for many years, and he has returned with troops several times in vain, which has to make him make another plan.

Fushengye didn't know where King Donghu got the Minghong Knife. The fact that King Donghu, who was so willing to use it in exchange for Yumen Pass, can only show that this knife is indeed not as famous as before.

Although Yumen Pass is important, it is insignificant compared to the safety of the world.

After the acting king learned that the king of Donghu had the Minghong knife in his hand, he was anxious to have this treasure knife.

It is rumored that whoever can get this knife will be eligible to compete in the Central Plains. Since Daiguo got the upper county, because of the abundance of war horses, a large number of infantry have been trained into cavalry.

Relying on his powerful team, the acting king already has the strength to compete with the world's heroes.

How could he be willing to give up Shangjun to others? It can only be said that the attraction of that Ming Hong knife to him is too great.

After Cheng Xinghe returned to the Donghu tribe, he was appointed as a national teacher by the king of Donghu. The first thing Cheng Xinghe did when he became a national teacher was to plan how to steal Shangjun bloodlessly.

He brought back a treasure knife from outside, claiming to be Minghong Knife. Cheng Xinghe dedicated the Minghong knife to the king of Donghu, and offered a plan to use the Minghong knife to exchange with the Daiguo for Shangjun.

After receiving the news of Donghu's envoy, the acting king was afraid that he would miss the peerless sword, so he pretended to agree to Donghu's request.

King Donghu and King Dai each have their own ghosts, and they both want to get each other's precious things, but neither wants to pay the real price.

So a deceitful deal was secretly carried out in the territory of a third-party force, the Dawn Pass.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the king of Dai and the king of Donghu are still unaware, and the transaction they conspired has been sold as a strange story in the Beidi Chamber of Commerce.
