In the white expanse, there are three lines of footprints. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Cowhide boots creaked in the shallow snow that was about to freeze into ice chips, and in front of two squires armed with scimitars and leather armor over black cotton suits, tall and burly warriors walked like flies, camel hair and white fox tails on their shoulders swaying gently behind their backs.
"Great Khan, by the time the scouts arrived at us, the Dark King's army had already defeated Asyan's men, and Toknahan's cavalry had dispersed. In this way, they still want to rush to this side of Yandang Mountain. ā
"Got it. ā
The samurai in front of him did not stop.
"Great Khan, the people of the Asyan tribe are all waste, and they die when they die. But if something happens to Toknahan, we don't have cavalry on this side of Yandang Mountain, within five hundred miles, and if the other tribes haven't gathered to Baisha Mountain, this battle won't be very ......."
The samurai raised a hand.
The two attendants immediately stopped and followed him in silence.
It was getting dark, the snow seemed to be covered with a layer of ash, and the cold wind began to roll up, but it was just in September, and the wind was already bitterly cold.
The samurai suddenly stopped, the scimitar hanging from his waist collided with the six strung bone rings, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze resting on the darkness in front of the wind and snow.
A little fire suddenly flashed there, reflecting in his eyes, and in this icy and snowy place, the cold on his body was instantly expelled.
"Whenever I came here, he would have someone light a torch. The samurai chuckled under his breath.
"I've asked him many times how he found out about my arrival, but he never told me. ā
When the three of them came to the felt tent, a thin black old man held a torch and slowly knelt down in front of the samurai.
"It's been three years, old Guan Bu. The samurai took a few steps forward, grabbed the old man's arm, and lifted him up, "You can bend down, it seems that your legs can still be used." ā
"Great Khan, Mr. Chu's medicine is a divine object, and I should be lucky enough to die in an open hood. ā
The samurai laughed, "There are few people on the prairie who are as lucky as you. ā
He took the torch directly from Guan Bu's hand and threw it into the snowdrift beside him.
"Go into the tent and talk. ā
Kanbu turned around and raised the curtain for him, and the samurai strode in, looked at it, and smiled again.
It was a double-layered felt tent, and there was a curtain hanging in it, and on the ground between the two curtains, there was a large copper stove, and the fire in the furnace was so hot that the inside of the tent was like summer.
"It's the same as in the past, in the winter, and you're a pink rabbit that hasn't grown its hair yet. ā
A gentle and slightly weak voice came from the tent, "The Great Khan, as in the past, likes to talk like this, and it sounds very kind. ā
"Hahaha. ā
The samurai laughed, pulled off the large coat and shawl behind his back, threw it to Guan Bu, and walked very close to the copper furnace.
When the robe in front of him was hot, he turned around again and waved his hand.
"Barth, Choketu, your hands aren't stiff yet, are they? ā
"Yes!" The two attendants, in addition to A, also stepped forward.
The samurai turned his head sideways and asked, "My High Priestess, how is your body?"
"I think I have one or two years to live, right?"
"So......" said the samurai, after a pause, "I'm sad. ā
"It's good, I'm still alive compared to those who died in the apocalypse that day. ā
"In my heart, you have always been the strongest great warlock of the human race, and with your help back then, I had the confidence to raise troops to the south, and I also had a land of a thousand miles in the north of Yang, which can grow good food, and many people can no longer graze. ā
"It's just that the luck is right, there is no way for the great merchants, and it is the destiny of the Great Khan to go south as the king. ā
"You know, like Baili, I don't believe in this. ā
After those two words were spoken, both of them suddenly fell silent.
Feeling the chill on his body fade, the warrior lifted the curtain and walked in with Balth and Choketu.
The temperature in the inner tent was even higher, as if it could scorch the hairs on his face, and in the middle of the large bed covered with layers of fur, a man half covered with a thick blanket, leaned on the head of the bed and looked at the samurai. His face was pale and his cheeks were thin, but he still looked young, but he was no longer masculine, and there were a few layers of wrinkles around the corners of his eyes.
"Now I can't touch a trace of coldness, Dahan's heart is actually very fine. He laughs.
"I'd rather lead the army all the way to the territory of Sharan in the south, where it is said that the people worship Suzaku and there are patches of burning fire trees, right? If you were there, wouldn't you ever feel cold again?" the samurai stared at him.
"You are Chu Yunsheng, a traveler of the Dragon Palace, and a unique magician in Shenzhou, with your ability, you can be more than an emperor. But you chose to be my high priest, and I watched you die one by one in this hellish place where there is nothing but grass but grass, and I have not brought glory to you. The samurai said as he sat on the edge of the bed, stroking the six bone rings around his waist with his hand.
Chu Yunsheng smiled and shook his head, "The Great Khan doesn't need to blame himself for these things, when he doesn't come to the end of his life, everyone else is just a passerby." ā
"You always like to be reasonable, and we have argued many times before, and everyone has a different view of the world. However, there is a sentence in Baili that is very right, no matter who it is, in the deepest part of the heart, there is a firmest idea, and many people have found it after a long time. ā
Chu Yunsheng nodded and said, "It may be so." He took the medicine bowl handed by Guan Bu, picked it up and drank it slowly. The samurai's gaze swept over the bowl, looked at the jet-black potion inside, and shook his head.
Chu Yunsheng put down the medicine bowl and continued: "When I stepped into the world, I hoped to bring peace to the world, and after establishing this, I took it as my belief in this life. So I will do whatever it takes to clear the obstacles that stand in my way, and no one can stop me. This is also the reason why I agreed with the Great Khan at that time to go to the Apocalypse and kill Baili. ā
"I will not deceive you, I am different from you. The samurai shook his head.
"I know. Chu Yunsheng said with a smile.
The samurai said: "I own all the land in the Northern Wilderness, and I can reach three Yangbei and two Dongzhou. However, my people have cultivated a fifty-mile radius of wilderness, and they have not been able to add up to a single acre of farmland where grain can be grown. Like them, I used to want to guard my cattle and horses, and hold my hunting bow and die with them......"
"But!" said the samurai, puffing out his chest, "we have given most of our harvest to the gods, but the gods still do not favor us, they wilt the grass and dry up the water, and we fight over a pile of cow dung that makes a fire! ā
"I am the Frost King, I can't make the grass green and let the underground springs gush out, I can only wield my sword and let the cold wind send my brothers who fought with me into the arms of the gods!"
Chu Yunsheng looked at him calmly, "What the Great Khan did is actually not wrong. ā
The Frost King waved his hand at him, "I don't have the same eyes as you and Baili, I can only look at my grassland. Baili is right, I am a coyote, I will always keep an eye on the prey that can bring me flesh and blood, bite them to death, swallow their flesh in my throat, and then go back and spit it out to my children, and watch the cubs run around in circles......"
"Now, in the eyes of the Great Khan, is there any prey?" Chu Yunsheng asked.
"The Dark King's Army......" the Frost King's gaze seemed to penetrate the felt tent, "a herd of antelopes full of fat and thinking they were running fast...... I'm waiting for them to come to the depths of the steppe and peel them off little by little. In the end, the whole of Yangbei is ours. ā
"Is this the Khan's final wish?"
"It's not. ā
"That being the case. Chu Yunsheng stretched out his palm to the Frost King, "Then I will also sweat for the last time." ā
The palms of his hands shone with a dark golden light.
"Baili's bones...... Frost King's eyes narrowed, "he is really an old fat sheep, after death, his fragments have made us into the God King, and I will always be grateful to him." ā
"On that day, Baili was tormented on the cannon burning copper pillar, and then his little girl ......" Chu Yunsheng smiled and continued: "That girl knows that it is my formation, and my whole spirit is on the Apocalypse Protector Array, she knows my thoughts, but she still chooses the way to make me hurt the lightest. In the end, she didn't take away Baili's bones, golden bones, and also achieved many people. However, most of the fragments of Baili are still in the hands of Sword Emperor He Chong......"
"I naturally know that He Zhong should be close to the final realm...... It's just, what do you want to say?"
"Dongzhou, Wangbei City, the jurisdiction of the Yin Dynasty of the Qilin King. Chu Yunsheng withdrew his gaze from the palm of his hand and looked at the Frost King, "A hundred-mile skeleton is being sent there." ā
The Frost King narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of invisibility in his eyes.
"You think, it's ...... A piece of meat. ā
Chu Yunsheng smiled, "Now, everything has nothing to do with me, the world I can see is a wrong world that is about to collapse." Hundreds of miles away, he was right...... However, it is useless to say this now, and the Great Khan does not need to care...... For this piece of skeleton for a hundred miles, it only depends on the thoughts of the Great Khan. ā
"It's a piece of meat. ā
The Frost King stood up suddenly.
"Baili, and your ideals have been shattered, this world is a battlefield like this copper furnace! I will take you to the warm southern frontier at the end of your life, and scatter your ashes on the burning wilderness. ā
Chu Yunsheng smiled weakly, "I will look forward to that moment." ā
"Thank you for everything, my brother. ā
The Frost King glanced at Chu Yunsheng deeply, then turned around and walked out of the tent.
Finally, the Frost King Dolyan Murbone turned around and stretched out his arms.
"Time is a grumpy donkey, and I, I want to put shackles on it, drive it, turn the millstone of the world in my direction, and crush all those who try to obstruct us below!"
