Han Ce was in an unhappy mood, and at this time, he was even more angry when he heard that Beiwei Pass and Tongshan Pass were attacked, but fortunately, both levels successfully resisted the attack.

Listening to the introduction of the herald, there are 30,000 or 40,000 enemy troops in Beiwei Pass and 20,000 enemy troops in Tongshan Pass, which makes Han Ce breathe a sigh of relief, at least with the topography of the two checkpoints and the number of defenders, there will not be too much of a problem.

He knew that the intention of the Northern Wilderness was to disperse his forces, and they wanted to allow themselves to send soldiers from here to support, so that they could contain their forces attacking the city of the Far East.

But he had already predicted this situation, and before he could raise troops to attack, Han Ce had sent a lot of defenders at various checkpoints, at least to ensure safety.

Han Ce said to the herald: "Always pay attention to the intelligence of Beiwei Pass and Tongshan Pass, and report it at any time, and there are other checkpoints to report to me at any time." ”

"Obey!" The herald retreated as soon as possible, for fear that Han Ce would find trouble for him.

Han Ce looked at the captain of the pro-guard under his hand and asked, "Do you have any information from the other levels?"

The captain of the pro-guard hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "There is no herald coming!"

"No, what are you eating, and you still haven't found out the situation, do you want me to teach you?" Han Ce took his anger out on the captain of his own guard.

A roar shook the entire camp tent!

The captain of the pro-guard hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, and if he didn't run, he would be cleaned up by Han Ce.

The other generals also tried to withdraw from the camp, but none of them dared to move.

Also receiving information is Ling Yi, now that the battle between Dongsheng and Beihuang has been in full swing, I don't know what the situation is in the state?

After receiving the information, Ling Yi and the others held another meeting to analyze it, just like the conclusion reached by Han Ce, Ling Yi and the others also thought that this was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

This kind of siege did not last, even Han Ce could not withstand such a consumption, only destroyed a few city walls, but he killed more than 3,000 soldiers and injured nearly 10,000 soldiers, such consumption was too great, and he could only wait for the soldiers to recuperate before launching an attack.

So here, the two sides were rarely quiet for four days.

On September 21, Han Ce once again launched a siege, but this time he did not let the soldiers force the attack, but used the siege equipment to continuously attack the city in the extreme east.

The casualties of such a battle are much smaller, but the effect is also limited, and the effect of a one-day siege is not half of the effect of the previous sneak attack.

Ling Yi and they observed the situation for a few days, and there was no meaning, let alone any gain.

On this day, Ling Yi gathered the entire team and began to evacuate in the direction of the east of the city in the extreme east, and there was information on the attack of Beiwei Pass and Tongshan Pass every day in the past few days, but there was no information about the two checkpoints in the northeast.

So everyone decided to go to Bintai Pass and Yanbei Pass to investigate.

For the sake of safety, Ling Yi and the others still spent two days returning to Yanjing Pass first, and after resting for one night, they were ready to investigate the situation along the border.

The more I think about the northeast, the terrain becomes rugged again, and the climate is getting colder and colder, and it is only the end of September, but I already feel a little cool.

It took Ling Yi and them a day and a half to rush to Bintai Pass, where they did not find anything, except for the normal garrison, they did not see a trace of the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness.

It seems that the war in Yanjing Pass is just a war for the independence of that place, and it has nothing to do with this side.

Although Han Ce also had 30,000 soldiers here, they had nothing to do every day.

Then all the way to the north, it took another day, and Ling Yi and the others finally arrived at Yanbei Pass.

When he arrived in Yanbei, in addition to exploring the military situation, Ling Yi also had two purposes, one was to find his cousin Wei Yun, and the other was to meet Yan Chunxi!

When they arrived in Yanbei, Ling Yi and they settled down in the open space outside Yanbei Town, did not disturb the people here, let alone go to the Yanbei checkpoint, and the things that should be explored along the way have basically been explored, and now, he sent Ah Hai and Zhang Cheng out to inquire about information for him.

He always felt weird here, as if he always had a pair of eyes on him.

In the evening, Ah Hai and Zhang Cheng returned, and they shook their heads at Ling Yi.

When they came to Lingyi's tent, the brothers sat together, and Ah Hai and the others began to introduce today's information.

Ah Hai said: "This town is a bit strange, many of the small vendors on the street are martial artists, and the strong ones have reached the martial artist level, the situation is too weird, we didn't inquire about the news of the three princes." ”

Ling Yi nodded and replied: "I also feel weird, as soon as I arrived here today, I felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at me, there should be many strong people here, everyone should be careful." What can make my spiritual power feel threatened, only a Martial Saint powerhouse can do it!"

"Martial Saint?" The brothers didn't expect that there would be a Martial Saint powerhouse here.

"Could this be to protect the Third Prince?" Hao Jun asked strangely.

"I don't rule out this possibility, there are so many martial artists in such a remote place, and there are martial saint powerhouses in the town, unless there is a big force stationed here, otherwise there will not be so many masters, maybe it is really to protect the three princes, it may be sent by the royal family!" Ling Yi also agreed with this speculation.

No longer discussing the issue of the three princes, Ling Yi continued to ask Ah Hai and the others, "Then did you hear any information about Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen?"

Ah Hai said excitedly: "I have heard a lot about this, but it is mostly a legend!"

"What I want is not the legend of the past, what I want to know is, is there a bandit here who claims to be the eighteenth horse of Yanyun now?" Ling Yi asked.

Ah Hai scratched his head and said, "All I heard here are some legends from the past!"

"If not, forget it!" Ling Yi sighed.

At this time, Zhang Cheng, who did not speak, said: "I have some news!"

"What's the news?" Ling Yi asked excitedly.

"I heard from a mass grave, saying that in the bitter cold land north of Yanbei, there is a cemetery, where it is said that the burial of the Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen of the year, in the past few years, that area has been occupied by a group of people, and no one dares to go up again!" Zhang Cheng replied.

"North of Yanbei, the cemetery, it looks like it should be there!" Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief!

"Shall we explore your way tomorrow?" Zhang Cheng asked.

Ling Yi shook his head and said, "No, tomorrow the four of us brothers will go to investigate, and Brother Zhang will be here first, leading everyone to explore the situation!"

"Okay, you must be careful, this is not a state, the bandits are in great trouble, don't clash with those outlaws!"

"Got it!"

The next day, Ling Yi and Sun Ze headed for the north of Yanbei.

"Ling Yi, who are you looking for?" asked Sun Ze on the side.

"I'm looking for Yanyun Eighteen Riders!"

"Is it the descendant of the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun that you mentioned last time?" Sun Ze continued to ask.

"Yes, do you remember the Tutao Mountain bandits?" Ling Yi asked.

"Tutao Mountain? is the same place where you disappeared overnight when we passed through Tutao Mountain on our escort mission?" and then, the bandits disappeared the next day, right?" Sun Ze recalled.

"Yes, that's it, it's nothing to tell you now. In fact, the bandits of Tutao Mountain were the subordinates left behind by the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry back then, and they were the two children who escorted the leader of the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry to stay away from Youzhou before they landed there. ”

"Have you seen them?" Hao Jun asked strangely on the side.

Ling Yi shook his head and nodded again.

"You shook your head again, what do you mean by a nod?" Sun Ze asked on the side.

"I've only seen one, her name is Yan Chunxi, she is a beautiful and elegant big sister, she likes to play the piano, and it is her piano sound that attracts me!"

Ling Yi's face was intoxicated, as if he recalled Yan Chunxi's beautiful piano sound.

"Don't be intoxicated yet, keep talking! You only said one of them, what about the other person?" Sun Ze urged.

Ling Yi had no choice but to come out of his memories and continued: "Sister Chunxi's brother, named Yan Jingfei, he sent Sister Chunxi to Tutao Mountain, and soon after settling down, he rode alone and killed Yanjing!"

"Killed back alone?" Sun Ze and the other two were shocked.

Sun Ze opened his mouth and said: "No wonder you said last time that I would be very happy to meet him, such a brave person, if you don't fight when you meet, I'm sorry for myself!"

"You have a chance, I hope you can find them!" Ling Yi said worriedly, he was afraid that he would pounce!

"Then did Sister Chunxi come back here to find his brother?" Hao Jun asked.

"Yes, in fact, they are a pair of lovers, it was Yan Jingfei who picked up the abandoned Chunxi sister when he was six years old, and then took care of her until the leader of the previous generation of Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry adopted them as adopted sons, and the two ended their lives of exile. ”

"Since they all grew up in Youzhou, I don't think they should be in much danger, at least the Northern Wilderness cavalry hasn't attacked in a big way in the past few years!" Hao Jun said.

"I'm not worried about this, it's just that Sister Chunxi is blind, I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that she will be in danger!"

"Let's go, let's hurry up, find out as soon as possible, and let you rest assured as soon as possible!" Sun Ze rode his horse to speed up, and several other people also galloped quickly!

The land north of Yanbei is desolate, if there are still grasses and shrubs, otherwise it would have become a desert long ago!

According to the direction from which they inquired, the four of Ling Yi went all the way north.

In a small village north of Yanbei, there was a child about four years old who practiced martial arts there, although he was immature, his expression was serious, and his eyes were staring at the scarecrow in front of him who was as tall as himself.

"Drink!" the small fist punched the scarecrow's body, causing the scarecrow to shake slightly.

"Hey!" another kick on the scarecrow's plate.

Constant beating, constant shouting, and the appearance of a child who did not care about the sweat on his forehead.

"Zijin, stop practicing, come back to eat, you have your favorite chicken thighs today!"

I heard a gentle voice in a room not far away.

"Mommy, I'm coming!" Hearing the chicken legs, the child dropped the scarecrow and ran happily towards the house, bouncing and jumping very cutely.

"Eat slowly, there's another one!" the woman said softly to the child, for fear that the child would choke!

"I'll only eat one, and I'll keep the other for Dad!"

"Hahaha, my good baby, you still know how to keep chicken legs for your father?

At this time, a tall man walked in from outside the house, his upper limbs were slender and powerful, and his lower plate was calm and vigorous, but the two scars on his face were X-shaped to destroy a handsome face, but this looks like a deterrent!

"Daddy!" the child cheered, jumped off the table, and ran towards the man!
