The first reaction of the Beihu cultivators was naturally to flee.

The Great Wall was only three or four miles away from here, which was really not a long distance for Qi Realm cultivators.

Their strategy to get out is also simple and effective: disperse and break out.

However, the results were not satisfactory. All the Beihu cultivators present were unable to get rid of the pursuit, and the elite who ran the farthest only ran out less than five hundred steps before being caught up by a mid-Yuan Shen Realm.

In the end, more than a dozen Beihu cultivators, except for those who died on the spot, most of them were captured alive.

Before they were escorted back to their original places, Zhao Ning, who had received the "Condor Shooting", had already come to the hillside.

Helped Zhao Qiyang, who saluted according to the family rules, to his feet, and seeing that he was not fatally injured, Zhao Ning took out a bottle of pills and asked the other party to distribute the pills to the injured soldiers present.

"I heard some time ago that you were coming, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. How did Brother Ning appear here?" Zhao Qiyang swallowed the pill, his complexion quickly improved, and he patted Zhao Ning's shoulder and laughed heroically.

He is Zhao Ning's cousin, although he is a concubine and his talent is average, his own family naturally has the closeness of his own family.

"I just want to see the guards at the border pass before I get to Yanmen Pass, I've been wandering around the Great Wall for the past few days, and it's lucky to meet you. Zhao Ning replied with a smile.

He walked day and night on the border of the Great Wall these days, in order to understand the situation at the bottom of the border army before taking up his post, and by the way to find out if there were any slackness and loopholes in the defense of various places.

When he arrived at Yanmen Pass, although Zhao Ning is not currently the main general, he has a master's mentality.

As of tonight, Zhao Ning is ready to end the inspection, and will rush to Yanmen Pass tomorrow, and has not found any obvious problems. From this point of view, his father Zhao Beiwang, although he is loose by nature, is still qualified to govern the army.

Of course, there will also be credit for his mother, and it is estimated that the credit is greater than that of Zhao Beiwang.

When Zhao Ning was gossiping with Zhao Qiyang, the soldier who was about to cut off his left hand by Meng Tu before limped over and saluted, "Thank you Zhao Gongzi for saving your life, your humble duty is unforgettable!"

"Your family doesn't have to be polite. ”

Although this cultivator is not from the Zhao clan, he is also in the Yanmen Army, and it is not an exaggeration to say "his own family".

Soon, those elite cultivators of the Zhao clan brought by Zhao Ning brought over all the Beihu cultivators who were not killed.

Now, the arrogant ones have become the soldiers of the Yanmen Army, and the ones who are mourning are the seriously injured Beihu cultivators, Zhao Ning glanced at them indifferently, and said in a light tone:

"I will also give you a chance to tell the purpose of your trespass on the border of Daqi. If I ask, you will answer, and if the answer does not satisfy me, I will kill one of you.

"Don't worry, I'm a child of the Great Qi family, educated, and won't eat your flesh - I'll let your companions swallow your flesh piece by piece. ”

As he spoke, his fingers picked out a random person, "You, answer my question." ”

Hearing Zhao Ning's words, the faces of the Beihu cultivators all changed drastically, some showed horror, some eyes were full of hostility, some were panicked, and some swore to die.

After waiting for two breaths, Zhao Ning didn't get an answer from the other party, so he turned his head and glanced at a cultivator beside him.

The latter is a middle-aged man with a thin face, unkempt, looking a little sloppy, and his deep eyes are not shocked, as if he has wisdom that can break through the red dust.

This is exactly Zhao Xun, who was framed by the death of a Qing Qier and once adopted Zhao Yujie in the Zhao murder case.

Zhao Xun walked out silently, came to the Beihu cultivator who didn't answer his question, ignored the other party's curses and roars, grabbed the opponent's neck with one hand, and drew the knife indifferently with the other.

The screams tore through the lonely night of the barren mountains.

After the third Beihu cultivator was Ling Chi, and the rest of the Beihu cultivators were all flesh and blood, Zhao Ning got the answer he wanted.

As Mengtu said before, they came to Daizhou to find out whether the Yanmen army was preparing for war.

At the same time, I also wanted to find out as much as possible, in addition to the Yanmen Army, whether the Great Qi Dynasty had sent the Central Forbidden Army to the border pass to prepare for war. Others, such as whether the Yanmen army has increased its troops, whether there has been an increase in military rations and ordnance, are also within the scope of their investigation.

A team like Meng Tu, the Tian Yuan Royal Court sent more than one. And without the team led by the Yuan Shen Realm, there are even more.

The positions of these teams are very scattered, and there is a sequence of entering Daizhou, all of them are high mountains, and the action time is strictly limited, and they will not stay in Daizhou for too long, so there is no particularly big movement.

Through the situation in front of him, Zhao Ning quickly deduced the situation: the Tianyuan Royal Court was worried that Daqi would send troops to the grassland.

After Xiao Yan's crime was committed, the relationship between Daqi and the Tianyuan Royal Court suddenly dropped to the freezing point.

After losing Xiao Yan and the fine forces under her command, the Tianyuan Royal Court had no source of information in Daqi, because it was worried that Daqi would send troops to retaliate, so it had to risk sending many spies to the front line of Daizhou to spy on the news.

At this time, no matter how you look at it, the situation facing the Tian Yuan Royal Court is very complicated.

Zhao Ning and the others didn't stay in the barren mountain for too long, and after the cultivators' injuries were under control, they went to the nearby Great Wall Fengsui to rest together. Soon after, the support of the Yanmen army rushed over, and the two sides converged, and did not leave Fengsui at night.

The next day, Zhao Ning rushed to Yanmen Pass first, while Zhao Qiyang took the wounded to slow down behind.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Ning arrived at Yanmen Pass.

There are nine stops in the world, headed by Yanmen.

The east and west mountain rocks are steeply pulled, there is a road, circling and rugged, the top is placed at the top, and it is called the Yanmen Pass. The city is not a thin city wall, but there are several walls inside and outside according to the mountain, and the whole pass defense system is more like a "square city".

The origin of Yanmen Pass can be traced back to the Warring States period.

When King Wuling of Zhao carried out the military reform of "Hufu Cavalry Shooting", he defeated the invasion of Linhu, Loufu and other clans, and established Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun. Then Li Mu was stationed in Yanmen, and became a generation of famous generals because of the defeat of more than 100,000 horsemen of the Huns in World War I.

After the unification of the Great Qin, the First Emperor ordered Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to go out of Yanmen, attack Beihu, successfully recover the Hetao area, drive the Xiongnu to the north of Yinshan, and then build the Great Wall.

In the Han Dynasty, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others all defeated the Xiongnu inside and outside Yanmen Pass.

At the beginning of the Great Qi Dynasty, the country withered, and the Beihu royal court that unified the grassland repeatedly invaded the border, the most serious one, the Beihu Khan personally led more than 300,000 cavalry, and broke through the Yanmen Pass, plundered several states in the border and returned.

Taizu was ashamed of the Snow Country, and he fought hard for several years.

Then, with the ancestor of the Zhao family as the commander of the three armies, he led nearly 200,000 troops out of Yanmen Pass to conquer Mobei; at the same time, the ancestor of the Sun family led the division out of Shanhaiguan, and the ancestor of the Wei family led a strong army from Liangzhou to the north, echoing on the left and right flanks.

With the cooperation of the Mountain Navy and the Longyou Army, the ancestors of the Zhao family won seven battles and seven victories in Mobei.

In the end, the ancestor of the Zhao family personally led 8,000 elite horsemen to run for hundreds of miles on a snowy night, unexpectedly broke through the Beihu royal court, beheaded the strongest man in Beihu at that time, and cultivated to the late stage of the king of the extreme realm.

More than ten days later, the ancestors of the Zhao family caught up with the Northern Hu Khan, who fled in panic, and captured him alive and escorted him back to Yanping City.

Since then, Mobei has been pacified, and there is no unified royal court in the grassland, and the big and small Hu tribes all bow down to the Great Qi, make pilgrimages every year, and pay tribute every year.

The ancestors of the Zhao family also made this contribution, and the official worshiped the governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the people of the Zhao clan have guarded the Yanmen Pass for generations since then, deterring Mobei, and it has been 116 years so far.

Standing in front of the majestic wall, looking up at the towering city tower, his eyes swept over the soldiers wearing iron armor and holding halberds, and their eyebrows and eyes were as tall as swords.

The brilliant exploits of the sages always make the latecomers fascinated and feel honored.

The martyr's Jin Ge Iron Horse always makes the young juniors enthusiastic and agitated, eager to immediately put on armor and sharpen, go into battle to kill the enemy, and establish immortal achievements.

For Zhao Ning, Yanmen Pass is not only a hero pool, but also a sad place. In his previous life, Zhao Beiwang and a large number of elite cultivators of the Zhao clan, as well as countless Zhenguan soldiers, were spilled with blood here and turned into white bones.

But at the moment, Zhao Ning's mood is relaxed, relieved, and happy.

Because he knew very well that because of his efforts in Yanping City, the tragic battle situation in his previous life would never be staged again in this life. Without the cooperation of Xiao Yan's meticulous forces, Yanmen Pass is still a Xiongguan moat, and it is not so easy to fall.

And what he has to do next is to let the Beihu army never break through this "first pass in the world" that has witnessed countless heroes and heroes.

Zhao Ning was thinking like this, and a bearded man appeared out of nowhere next to him, and he didn't make a sound, with his hands behind his back, leaning forward, and looking up and down around him with a strange gaze, his mouth snorting from time to time.

It seems to be very impressive.

Zhao Ning came back to his senses, and before he could speak, the bearded man had already stretched out his hand as big as a fan, like an eagle scratching a chicken, pulling his head left and right, as if he wanted to break open his skull to see.

When Zhao Ning was about to be tossed and dizzy, Dahan asked him strangely:

"Tell me, how did you grow this head? I don't look special, why is it different from mine?

"I think I, Zhao Beiwang, am also a generation of heroes, open-minded, and the moon is high, why did you make you scheming, like a dog-headed military advisor?

After saying that, the bearded man began to be amazed again, and looking at Zhao Ning's gaze, there was a bit of suspicion.

When Zhao Ning couldn't cry or laugh, Zhao Beiwang pulled Zhao Ning's head and was slapped off, and then, Zhao Beiwang was twisted and turned around because of his waist, and his body was also distorted, so painful that he grinned and inhaled cool air.

"You come and tell me, is Ning'er your son? You kill a thousand knives, what do you mean by this? You are as stupid as a pig's head, and you are not allowed to give birth to your son smarter? Zhao Beiwang, if you don't make it clear today, don't blame me for losing your face in public!"

The person who spoke was visibly fierce and irritable.

But she was a delicate-looking woman.

The guards on the city had already looked elsewhere, or looked at the white clouds, or admired the beautiful scenery of the mountains, as if they had not seen or heard anything.

This strange scene in front of him did not make any waves in Zhao Ning's heart, he had long been accustomed to it, so he straightened his clothes and solemnly saluted the two, "The child has seen his father and mother. ”
