Although the guards not far away wanted to do something, they all knew Nan Tianzi's character, and if Nan Tianzi didn't move himself, they must not disturb him. Otherwise, a stinky scolding is small, and when Nan Tianzi is in a bad mood, he will even be sent to the corner of the road, and he will do the work of raising pigs and fish and washing toilets day after day; A dignified warrior, how can he live his life so absurdly.

Nan Tianzi had been standing under the waterfall for more than two hours, and the robe and cloak outside had been completely frozen; His hair and long eyelashes were covered with frost, and his skin was red from the cold.

In the nervous and anxious waiting of the crowd, Nan Tianzi's hand was finally raised with difficulty. In such a cold weather, his clothes were wet again, and he was already frozen, so he could only notify the guards here through this action.

Although the guards stood motionless for more than two hours, they were dressed in furs, and had thick robes and cloaks to protect them from the cold, and they were not wet by the water, so they did not feel very cold.

Seeing that Nan Tianzi moved, You Lixi hurriedly asked the guards to bring the screen and the bath bucket and hot water that had been prepared.

A few screens stitched together a small makeshift room in the city, blocking the wind and snow and the splash of the waterfall.

Nan Tianzi's clothes had already frozen into ice, and the maid could only put the clothes into the bath bucket together, and only took off his clothes when the ice melted.

Soaking in warm water, Nantianzi gradually warmed up; When he opened his eyes, he asked the maid, "What time is it?" Nan Tianzi used to not move when he was thinking, as if he had settled down, and every time he came back to his senses, the first thing he asked was: "When is it?" ”

The maid said, "It's more than half of the time, and Your Highness, you've been standing under the waterfall for nearly three hours. ”

Nan Tianzi also seemed to be surprised, and said, "Oh! Is it already so late, it's getting dark, let Youli Creek camp nearby. ”

You Lixi received the order and immediately ordered the troops to camp by the river.

Jiumen Huishui Cliff is famous for its high mountains and rivers, cliffs, and nine tribes living on the side of the nine mountain streams, and there are often fierce beasts in the mountains and forests; From time to time, news of caravans of travelers going missing here comes out; If it weren't for the large number of people, I would never dare to spend the night here.

However, Nan Tianzi and his party don't have to worry, they are all the elite of Nan Tianzi's guards, and Nan Tianzi is a famous wizard in Baiyue, even if the nine tribes want to attack, they are definitely asking for their own hardships, not to mention those beasts.

The only difficulty was that it was difficult to find a place to accommodate so many people camping, and the tents had to be set up along the river, lined up; However, in such a camp, once they are attacked by the enemy, they will be very passive.

You Lixi looked at the camp and was very worried.

I had to report to Nan Tianzi and said: "Your Highness, do you want to find a more suitable place to go forward, the terrain here is narrow, once you encounter the enemy, our army will be very passive." ”

Nan Tianzi was still bathing, and when he heard You Lixi's report, he pondered for a while, and said, "It's here, it's almost dark, and it's very dangerous to walk in the mountains at night." ”

You Lixi is a veteran of the battlefield, who has experienced hundreds of battles and climbed to today's status after killing tens of millions of people; He knew how dangerous the deep mountains and wild forests were after dark; Not to mention enemy attacks, the beast is a big threat!

There are all kinds of possibilities for advancing and retreating, and he can only trust the judgment of Nan Tianzi.

Because of the complex terrain, you must arrange it in person.

Nan Tianzi felt that his body was still a little stiff, so he asked the maid to add some hot water to the bathtub.

Nan Tianzi soaked in hot water for more than an hour, and finally stopped feeling cold. Dressed neatly, his expression has returned to normal.

At this time, the snow is still heavy.

The sun on the horizon broke through the clouds and came out of the head, and the dim sunlight sprinkled down, reflecting the snow in the sky, and the sky and the earth were covered in gold and jade at first glance.

The cold wind blew, and although the people in this world were wrapped in their clothes, they couldn't help themselves with excitement! Just because such a beautiful scenery is really rare, just because the beautiful scenery at this time really gives them too much encouragement.

Nan Tianzi reached out from the tightly wrapped robe cloak and caught the sunlight and snowflakes. The snowflakes quickly melted in his palms, and the daylight gradually dimmed; It was clear that he didn't catch anything, but his heart was filled a lot. The rubble that had been blocked in my heart for a long time seemed to be emptied at once, and a smile appeared on my face, and I said to myself: "Darkness will always come, and it will always pass, what is there to fear!" ”

Night finally fell, and darkness enveloped the world.

During the day, I can see mountains, forests, snow, and flowing water, and I don't feel anything; At night, all this is hidden by darkness, and the mountains and fields become eerie; You can clearly see the dancing flames and patrol figures, and you can clearly hear the sound of water and wind; But it makes people feel that this mountain is extraordinarily quiet and lonely.

In the tent, under the dim light, Nan Tianzi wrapped his clothes tightly, holding a geographical chronicle in his hand, and was fascinated by it; You Lixi shouted outside the account: "Your Highness, Tanma returned to the camp, have something important to report?" ”

Nan Tianzi put down the book, sat up straight, and shouted, "Come in." ”

You Lixi shook off the snow on his body, and tidied up his clothes a little before entering the tent; He was followed by a man dressed in white, wearing a white robe, and wearing a white mask.

The two of them walked to the middle hall, knelt down and saluted: "The son of the south is Sheng'an! ”

Nan Tianzi asked, "Get up." What's going on up there? ”

Tanma replied: "There has been a scuffle and conflict between the nine tribes, and the Nine Holes Bridge has been closed, so I am afraid that it will not be passable for the time being." ”

Nan Tianzi frowned and asked, "What is the reason?" ”

Tanma hesitated for a moment and replied, "I don't know if it's true or not, but the news that my subordinates found out said that it was because of a young pig; At some point, a big fat pig came on the mountain, and the nine tribes wanted to take it for themselves, praying for blessings, and refusing to give in to each other, and finally yesterday, the quarrel turned into a scuffle. ”

Nan Tianzi was surprised, his face was like frost, and he said in a deep voice: "Jiubu was originally a brotherly clan, but they actually started a war for a young pig, and behind this matter, someone must have done something in secret. ”

Tanma said: "My subordinates also think so, and they have sent people to various tribes to inquire about specific news." ”

Nan Tianzi nodded and said, "You did the right thing; In addition, if you work harder, immediately rush to the Nine Tribes to pass on my order, asking the Patriarch of the Nine Tribes to personally present the golden pig to the king in front of the Nine Holes Bridge tomorrow; If he does not obey the order, the king will pursue the nine tribes for contempt of royal power. ”

Tan Ma rang for a moment, his face surprised. But nothing was said; Although he felt that it was inappropriate to do this, he only needed to carry out Nan Tianzi's order, and as for right or wrong, it was not a matter for him to consider.

Tanma took the order and went down, and You Lixi said: "Your Highness's move, your subordinates don't understand it, and you dare to ask questions to Your Highness." ”

Nan Tianzi said: "Born in sorrow and dying in peace, the reason why the Nine Divisions go to war easily is because there is no external threat; Now that the king has his sword on their necks, the brothers can continue to kill each other. ”

You Lixi said: "My subordinates still can't understand that His Highness's move doesn't put himself in danger; The Nine Tribes were originally disobedient, but now that His Highness has robbed them of their golden pigs, and someone has secretly instigated them, how can those savages give up. ”

Nan Tianzi said: "So tomorrow, you must also prepare to fight with the Nine Divisions." ”

You Lixi was shocked, Nan Tianzi was gambling with his own safety, and knelt down and admonished: "Your Highness think twice, please ask your subordinates to recover the Tanma and make another plan." ”

Nan Tianzi did not agree, and insisted: "This king's will has been decided, and there is no need to say more. ”

You Lixi knew that since Nan Tianzi had already said this, there was no possibility of recovering his fate, so he had no choice but to go down to prepare for the war. Kowtowed: "The minister retires." ”

Nan Tianzi waved his hand, and picked up the geography book again and put it under the light.

You Lixi came out of the big tent, didn't go far, and stood straight outside the big tent; He was thinking about how to deter the Nine Divisions tomorrow so that they would not dare to make trouble, and he also hoped that Nan Tianzi would suddenly change his mind and let him go to recover Tanma.

After standing for a long time, Nan Tianzi did not change his mind, and he did not think of an absolutely sure countermeasure, so he called the captains of the guards and said, "Jiubu did not obey discipline in the first place, and he will never bow down to orders this time; We bear the heavy responsibility of the king's safety, and we must not be negligent in the slightest; Be sure to keep your spirits up during the vigil. ”

The horses came and went in a hurry, and they all saw it; Things were unpredictable, and several squad leaders smelled the smell of blood and asked, "General, can we know about the twists and turns?" ”

You Lixi pondered for a while, but still told them what happened. And said: "Jiumen Huishui Cliff is the courtyard of Jiubu's own department, which can be attacked and defended, once the battle is very unfavorable to our army, so tomorrow in front of the Jiukong Bridge, the main thing is to coerce, and the war is the next policy." Do you get it? ”

Several squad leaders looked at each other, and they all knew that it was a bit reluctant for the troops on this line to start a war with the Nine Divisions; However, since Nan Tianzi has already given the order, they only need to carry it out, as for whether it is right or wrong? What's the point? That's not what they're supposed to think about.

The abnormality of the military camp, the wizard sent by Wulian Peak also noticed it, and saw that You Lixi and several guard captains were together to discuss, and they also came over. Knowing the truth of the matter, the leader said: "Nan Tianzi has always done things without leakage, this matter must have been asserted, we don't need to worry too much, just follow the order." ”

You Lixi took a long breath and said, "The wizard is reasonable, but I am worried that the Nine Ministries will be instigated, and the king intends to quell the civil strife between the Nine Ministries, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army and the Nine Ministries to be good." ”

When the leading wizard heard this, his face became solemn, and it was not surprising that Nan Tianzi would ignore himself for the sake of Jiubu and the liberation. After pondering for a while, he said, "If you start a war with the Nine Divisions here, the entire plan will be disrupted. ”
