The mountains of Nandaoling stretch slowly, there are no tall and steep peaks, and there is no solitary peak that goes straight into the sky, the mountains are like a giant dragon lying on the Tianyan Continent, and the world's first male city, Kyoto City, is surrounded by it.

The green mountains, the lush trees and the vast blue sky, and the ethereal clouds form an elegant and light-ink landscape painting.

At night, the undulating greenery of the mountains becomes a green veil like cicada wings, obscuring pedestrians and tourists hidden beneath the mountains.

On the side of Nandaoling, young men and girls who had just experienced a life-and-death battle walked together, bathed in moonlight and starlight, stepping on grass and rotten leaves, and staggering forward among the rugged mountains and forests.

They didn't know what kind of anger those desolate warriors would have after the initial surprise and embarrassment, and what kind of power would erupt in this kind of grievance after being played, so they fled in a hurry.

From daytime to late at night, Xu Zi'an himself did not know how many mountains and forests he had heard, how many leaves he had heard, and how many newborn weeds or wildflowers on the mountain paths had been trampled.

Duoduo lay on his shoulder, his eyes as bright as stars were closed at this time, and his steady and gentle breathing showed that the girl was very tired and tired at this time, and she slept very sweetly.

Since the first encounter with the team, her mind has been extremely tight, and she has never really rested, and at this time on the young man's shoulder, for some reason, she has become very relieved.

Xu Zi'an glanced at the cute appearance of the girl in her sleep, raised her head and looked for the star in the extreme north from the gap in the dense leaves, and continued to flee.

Earlier, on the road, Duoduo told him the approximate location of Kyoto, the stars are eternal, and walking along the starlight will naturally not go wrong.

..................

On one side of the ridge, young men and girls walked on their backs, while on the other side of the South Ridge, a well-equipped cavalry was stationed in the forest.

The fire outside the tent had been extinguished, and only some torches for lighting were hung from iron guns, which were placed in a relatively open area to prevent unnecessary fires caused by sparks falling in the wind.

The whole barracks was unusually silent, revealing the unique solemn atmosphere of the army, but there were no soldiers on duty outside the barracks, but a few scouts could be seen wandering in front from time to time several miles away, but it didn't look like they were exploring the path ahead, but more like they were waiting for someone to arrive.

Hundreds of horses rested beside the camp, unsaddled or unloaded, seemingly in a state of readiness to go.

But the ashes in front of the fire were thick, and the new ash was covered with the old ashes, burying the unburned black charcoal in the deepest part.

It can be seen that although the cavalry has been in the urgent moment of standby, it seems that it has been camped here for some time, and there are no soldiers on duty at night, which means that this temporary military camp is not worried about any foreign enemy sneaking attack at night.

Yes, this is the jurisdiction outside the city of Kyoto, it is the real hinterland fortress of Dali, and there are countless powerful people of the dynasty, how can anyone dare to sneak attack? I'm afraid that even if the Wild King's brain is broken, he will not have such thoughts.

"I don't know if the Mountain Emperor's brain is bad or not, but I know very well that His Royal Highness Duoduo is in the Nandao Ridge at this time, and as a general of the dynasty, he has always been here and waiting for the handover, don't you think that your name alone can scare the ambition of the desolate people?"

In the barracks, in one of the largest tents, several generals in armor stood in line and on both sides, and there was a temporary carpet in the middle, the footprints on the carpet were not messy, but they were heavy, not only stepping on the carpet one after another, but even stepping on the soft and damp ground under the carpet.

The soldiers in the military tent were silent, and they all looked down at the footprints on the carpet like a deep ravine, as if those footprints stepped on not only the carpet and the cold mud, but their own hearts.

The scene became very depressing, and the sound of the wind blowing the oil tent was no longer poignant, it was very faint, and it seemed to be afraid of the man at the end of the carpet.

The man was not wearing armor, he was dressed in a light military uniform, and his eyebrows were very thick, like ink silkworms, like short ge, and several white frosts could be seen at the tips of his eyebrows, just like the silk formed by the ink silkworm before it died in spring, and the snow that was broken between the short ge.

The man squinted his eyes over the faces of the approachers, and finally stopped on the face of a young general in front of him, his gaze a little low and gloomy, as if disappointed.

The young general felt the stern gaze that fell on him, his heart was slightly bowed, and he said in a deep voice after saluting with his fists. "Report to the Grand Commander, it's not that we are derelict in our duties, but we haven't waited for the news from the military aircraft, and we don't dare to rush out of the camp to find Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The young general never looked up when he spoke, I don't know if it was because of the shame of being a soldier of the dynasty but not completing the task perfectly, or the awe of the great commander in his heart.

But no matter which one it is, it can't hide the respect and fear in the young general's heart, because the man who is not wearing cold armor is actually Xu Shu, the great commander of the dynasty and one of the real three giants of the military.

The Dali army has always been the first lion in the world, there are three great commanders in the entire army, under the great commander are the seventeen god generals, during the battle of the pavilion, Zhong Shankui, who led the three thousand Xuanjia heavy horses, is one of the seventeen god generals.

The mountain emperor in the mouth of Xu Shu's commander is the king of the barren clan.

Xu Shu's face became more and more gloomy, gloomy as if he could drip water, he looked at the young general in front of him indifferently, his eyes were not so cold, but for some reason, which young general suddenly felt as if he was in the coldest cellar.

"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Yuan Jingli, you joined the northern army of my town during the cold year, and in a few years, you have been promoted to the rank of captain."

Yuan Jingli stood solemnly when he heard this, ignoring the cold stabbing of his skin with the iron armor, and replied.

"Appreciation of the Commander-in-Chief"

"It's not that I appreciate it, the dynasty will never bury any talented people, you are very young, brave and resourceful on the battlefield, and naturally have a bright future"

Grand Commander Xu Shu straightened up slightly, looked at the young general's iron-like face polished by the brutal battlefield, and continued.

"In the battle of Gongyuan, our army was trapped in the canyon, you led the troops to break through the siege at the risk of death, bought precious time for the army, and the right army was able to bypass and raid the desert tribe, in that battle, your credit was the greatest, and what did the dynasty reward you at the post-war merit conference?"

"Ten thousand taels of gold, countless fertile fields, officials to the captain of the cavalry battalion, from the four products"

"A few years ago, when the empire dismissed the army, what did it do to appease you and other meritorious generals?"

"Specially press the general in the Imperial Forest Divine Army, reward a mansion, and recognize the captain of Hualin skirt, and be the third product"

The young general replied with some hesitation, and there seemed to be a lot of inexhaustible meaning in it.

There was a windproof oil lamp in the tent, and the oil lamp hung in the center, and the light was a little dim, and the eyes of the commander-in-chief who reflected it were like thunder and lightning and ice were becoming more and more gloomy.

"In this way, the dynasty has always treated you well"

In just a few years, from the sergeant of the pioneer battalion to the captain of the cavalry battalion, and finally became the captain of the Imperial Forest Divine Army, Yuan Jingli's career as a military general is like a Dapeng after spreading his wings, and countless other colleagues and officials are envious and jealous but helpless.

The dynasty will not bury any talents, let alone cast another pearl in the dust, if this young general is given a certain amount of time, the future will be limitless.

Therefore, Commander Xu Shu asked very lightly, like a feather swaying in the air and not knowing where it fell.

But Yuan Jingli listened very seriously, because he had already determined where the feather had fallen at this time.

He was already uncertain when the Grand Commander's eyes fell on him, and the next few questions made him more and more sure............ Sure that some things are like this tent after all, no matter how tightly it is closed, there will always be a glimmer of light and a night breeze coming through the cracks.

It seems to be an ordinary question, but there is actually the most dangerous edge in it, and the edge is hidden in the scabbard, which seems harmless but the most terrifying.

Because people don't know how many inches long this cold light is, and how many inches short it can be cut.

But he was clear.

"In the early morning, you should be the one who prevents the barracks from sending troops"

The Grand Commander finally asked this question!

He didn't know how to answer, so he had to remain silent, letting the dark light hit his iron armor, and under the cold iron armor, the whole person was extremely hot, as if it had been distilled by boiling water.

"The dynasty has taken you a lot, why do you still betray"

After a long time, the Grand Commander finally asked that question!

..................

The other colleagues in the tent looked up in shock and confusion for a moment, looked at the young general, and after a little thought, their eyes gradually turned from doubts to anger, and finally cold.

It was finally clear why the Commander was asking questions that seemed superfluous.

According to the itinerary plan for returning to Beijing, yesterday was the last day of the handover and replacement of the Imperial Forest Army, but yesterday night did not see the whereabouts of His Royal Highness's convoy, which made the soldiers on duty anxious, and discussed the first disregard for the imperial court order, sent troops into Nandaoling to find His Royal Highness, if Her Royal Highness the princess only delayed the trip on the road, it was a big deal to be convicted by the imperial court of leaving his post without permission, but it was necessary to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness on the road.

However, at the last moment of the early morning, Yuan Jingli, the largest military officer, suddenly insisted on refusing to set off, and threatened with military orders, so the whole flag army general would stay in the mountains and forests until the arrival of the commander Xu Shu.

It is better to punish the body and the god than to punish the heart, the words of the commander at this time are undoubtedly word for word, you are a military general of the dynasty, the court treats you well, and the future is unlimited, in this case, why did you insist on preventing the military camp from setting off to find Her Royal Highness the princess in the early morning, and you blocked the military plane like this, for what?

There is only one reason for this.........

He is a traitor, a shameful traitor!

Several generals choked and drew their long swords, pointing at Yuan Salute, the cold sword knocked the oil lamp into confusion, and Yuan Salute's head was so low in the light that it seemed to be able to touch the armor scales on his chest.

The atmosphere is no longer serious, but hostile, shameless, angry, and slaughtering.

Xu Shu waved his hand to the generals and looked at Yuan Jingli without saying a word.

After a long time, the young general finally moved, he unfastened his armor, placed it on the table, raised his head, and smiled very sadly.

This is the first time he raised his head after the commander of Xu Shu entered the account, and he lifted it very heavily, and it seemed that the head without the armor of the dynasty was not liberation, but a deeper sin.

The dynasty brought him as kind as a mountain, and the commander treated him as gracious as the sea, how could he betray?

But how could he not betray?

After all, his hometown is in the middle of the wasteland.

He didn't choose to resist at this time, he just wanted to die.

The world is safe and perfect?

He risked his life to break through the siege in order to buy time for the army of Da Li, and he did it, in which battle, the army of the army annihilated tens of thousands of desolate people, and the corpses alone were stacked with several Jingguan, and the wolf smoke burned for three days before the sky of the wasteland was quiet.

He looked at the wolf smoke in the sky, but his heart seemed to be scorched by flames, and it was only by that battle that he was able to quickly stand out in the barracks.

Now to prevent the cavalry from leaving the camp is to buy time for his people, he knows very well what Her Royal Highness the princess means to the Dali Dynasty, what it means to the war between the Desolate Clan and the Dali that has lasted for thousands of years, in order to be able to completely leave Her Royal Highness the Princess outside the city of Kyoto, in order to completely break the ambition and ambition of Emperor Wu, and in order for the Desolate Clan to not be trampled by Dali with iron horses before the next night attack, he must do this.

"Is Your Highness okay?"

Yuan Jingli said heavily, and as he spoke, his body made a fine popping sound, which was the sound of the bones of his body after breaking free from the shackles of some secret method.

His body began to grow strangely, and after a few moments, it reached the top of the tent, and his face cracked like the molting bark of an old tree, which looked extremely terrifying.

The barren man is tall, completely different from the humans in the Tianyan Continent, the more powerful the desolate warrior, the bigger the body will be, I heard that the most powerful and mysterious high priest of the desolate clan, the body is even more majestic than a hill.

Thinking of the hexagram in the Tianji Pavilion, this great commander who had experienced countless ups and downs saw through the heart hidden under the tall body of this general who had followed him for countless years, and said softly.

"His Highness is still on the other side of the mountain"

"That's good"

After a long time, Yuan Jingli said quietly, there was no unwillingness after exposure, nor anger after failure, but very calm and relieved.

He looked at the Da Li military armor that was placed on the table, his eyes were as gentle as the first time he saw her in the tribe, a blood flower flowed from his eyes, and then, the whole burly and tall body began to shrink, and thick black blood flowed out from between the lush hairs of the skin, like ink like night, like plum like old vinegar.

Da Li treats him with the grace of recreation, he can't repay it, the desolate clan has blood relatives in him, he can't do anything, perhaps, this is the biggest sorrow after being a saucer but meeting the master.

Yuan Jingli died, and he was very relieved and at ease, but the dead were liberated, but for the rest, this was just the beginning.

Xu Shu bracked his jaw and looked at the corpse on the ground coldly, his heart was painful and angry flashed in his sword-like eyes, and after a while, he looked at the rest of the generals and said coldly.

"I don't need you to apologize for your death too, because Your Highness is still fine, but if you can't see any trace of Your Highness within three days, you ......... Don't get out of this big green mountain."
