With an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't answer me, just sat on the ground, looked at the barbecue squeaking on the fire, and suddenly said: "You weren't used to eating barbecue before, but now it seems that you are used to it." ”

I frowned: "Habit is just a kind of helplessness, it doesn't mean liking." ”

He sneered: "After getting used to it, I don't know whether I like it or not, I should get used to it." ”

I heard that this tasted wrong, and looked up at him, and Losh took out his dagger and cut off a piece of meat to eat, and then clapped his hands and said, "You should also eat more, eat this meal, and the next part of the road will not be so easy to walk." ”

My face changed, and I looked at him in amazement, only to see his gaze slowly move to the other end of Yunling, the north.

I slowly turned my head to look over.

Here, it was already the extreme north, and even the cloud ridge that stretched for dozens of miles had come to an end, and I raised my head, through the thick fog in the mountains under the deep twilight, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a tall shadow far ahead.

The fog slowly dispersed, and it turned out that there was another mountain range in front of it, lying on the grassland, and the broken walls on the mountain ridge were the Great Wall that had resisted countless foreign invasions. However, because after the Pei clan went south to seize the power of the Central Plains, the entire border line was moved to the north a lot, and it was very easy for the people of Shengjing to enter the Central Plains before this big war, and the Great Wall lost its role in defending against foreign enemies.

And now, seeing the Great Wall on the vast plain, I have an indescribable sense of sadness.

It is different from other places, these are two sections of the Great Wall, there is a different peak protrusion in the center of the mountain range, towering into the clouds, the Great Wall cannot be built, it is cut off by force, but because of this height, it has become a natural barrier against foreign enemies.

It's just that the peak is too high, and the weather gets colder and colder the further north you go, the peaks of this peak are condensed with white ice and snow, and from a distance, it is also cold.

Luo Shi said: "That is Tianzi Peak." ”

...... Tianzi Peak?

I muttered these three words, and it was as steep and domineering as a mountain, but I don't know why, I had a strange feeling about this place, turned my head to look at him, and said, "We want to cross this mountain?" ”

"Behind Tianzi Peak, do you know where it is?"

“…… Katsukyo. ”

"That's right." Rosh nodded, stood up and looked out over the treacherous mountains, and in his eyes I saw a pride and confidence that was unparalleled in the world, as if he would have it at his fingertips if he wanted to.

Although I still don't know what he wants, the anxiety in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.

The next day, we crossed the mountain.

Except for the towering Tianzi Peak, the Great Wall on the mountain ridge is just an ordinary ruin without a garrison, and it is not difficult to cross there, but I found that after we crossed the Great Wall, nearly half of the army of Luo Shi stayed here to guard the Great Wall!

I wonder if this is an irony, the Great Wall, which was once used to defend against foreign invasions, is now used by foreign enemies.

When I went down the mountain, I couldn't stop looking back, looking at the mountain range under the sunset, the golden sunset gilded this broken wall with a layer of gold, which became more and more thick and ancient, and I saw an inevitable decline in it.

That night, we arrived at Katsukyo.

Because I arrived at night, I didn't see the whole picture of Shengjing, but the shadow of the towering city wall in the night is still like a lying lion, showing the momentum of the overlord of the grassland, and even the imperial palace here, although there is no pavilion and pavilion of the imperial village in the capital, magnificent, but there is another kind of majestic mountain majesty.

I was taken into the palace by the Butu men, and after a little freshening up, and having faded away from the fatigue and dust of these days of walking through the mountains and mountains, their maids changed me into the clothes handed down by the people of Katsukyo, and was taken to the door of a large hall.

The hall was magnificent, and the open door was filled with jumping candles, and as soon as I walked over, I heard an old man's voice coming from inside: "You actually withdrew from the army like this?" 400,000 troops, returned in vain, is this the meaning of your dispatch this time? ”

I could hear it for a moment, this man was talking to Losh, and it seemed that he was someone with more status than him.

There should not be many such people in Shengjing, I slowly walked to the door and looked inside, Luo Shi had also changed into another set of dark colored robes, the tight belt and the upright collar lined his jaw as strong as a rock, bee waist ape back, strong body, sitting in the front seat, one leg casually stepping on the chair, like a cheetah, elegant but dangerous.

Standing in front of him was a gray-haired man, who looked very old, but he was tall and vigorous, and he seemed to be young and a good martial artist.

Rosh sat in the chair, his hands playing with something, listening to the old man's reproachful words, slowly raised his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Why is my father so angry. ”

Father?! This old man is what Pei Yuanhao said at the beginning, the Iron Arrow King among the Eight Heavenly Kings of Shengjing!

The Iron Arrow King said: "How can I not be angry, the dispatch of the 400,000 army, you think it is so easy, you don't know how much grain and grass has been consumed in more than a month, so in vain, how do you explain to the other kings?" ”

"Why do I have to explain to them, what's more—" He sneered, "Even if I do, how many of those mediocre people can understand." ”

"You-"

"Father." Luo Shi raised his head and said with a smile: "I know that Jiangnan's taxes are missing, and life will be sad, but I always feel that just taking things from other people's hands is too boring, and if everything is your own, then it will be interesting." ”

I was shocked when I heard this, and even the Iron Arrow King seemed to be shocked, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Even so, you withdraw your troops like this-"

"I withdraw my troops, and naturally I have a reason. What's more, I found what I wanted this time, so I gave them a period of relaxation, why not? ”

"What do you want? What do you want? ”

As he spoke, the Iron Arrow King seemed to hear my breathing suddenly, and when he turned around, he saw me standing at the gate, holding on to the thick pillar with one hand, and looking at them with a stunned face.

This old man is more than half a hundred years old, his face is dark and rough, his eyes are still bright, and he can still see the sharpness of the former "Iron Arrow King", his appearance is very similar to Rosh, but the young son is more domineering, compared to him, he is already in his twilight years.

As soon as he saw me, he was immediately startled, looked me up and down, and then turned back to Rosh and said, "This is what you want?!" A woman? ”

Rosh looked up at me and sneered.

The Iron Arrow King was even more angry: "A woman, there is no woman on the grassland, you are just for a woman, actually-"

"Father don't have to be angry," Rosh lowered his head, the things he was playing with with his fingertips were illuminated by the candlelight, and a golden light flashed in front of my eyes, and he said lazily, "I said earlier, what I want, others may not understand, and you, Father, don't understand either." ”

"You-!"

The Iron Arrow King was panting with anger, but in the face of such a son, he had no room to exert himself, so he could only wave his sleeves fiercely, turn around and leave, and glared at me fiercely when he passed by me.

I watched the Iron Arrow King leave angrily, his back quickly disappeared into the night, and then I slowly turned my head and looked at the lazy but dangerous figure in the main hall, and slowly walked in, and when I walked in front of him, I finally saw that what he was holding in his hand was a golden dart!

Huang Tianba's golden dart!

When I spoke, my voice was a little hoarse: "You are deliberately leading them to send troops. ”

Rosh glanced up at me.

"You know that it is impossible for the emperor to exchange Nangong Lizhu for me, but you deliberately made such a condition, and when he refused, and then you withdrew your troops, you deliberately led them to send troops to lure the enemy deeper."

“……”

"You're for—"

"It's not a clever ploy," he interrupted me, his falcon-like eyes shining shrewdly in the dim light, "It's just that if he comes, no one should be able to stop him." ”

"......" I just felt cold at my fingertips, and the blood in my whole body was frozen by such a night.

I've been speculating about other possibilities, maybe because of tactics, maybe because he has other intentions, but in any way, I didn't guess this possibility, because I didn't want to believe it, and because I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't help but burn with anger in my heart.

I was glaring at him indignantly, when suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my head, and I remembered what he had just said.

I withdrew my troops, and naturally I have my reasons. What's more, I found what I was looking for this time......

He found what he wanted, but it was just an accident, but it was not the real reason for this withdrawal, and his real purpose has not been revealed!

I suddenly raised my head and glared at him: "What other purpose do you have besides him?" ”

Rosh looked at me with a sneer, but didn't speak.

And I looked at his smile, and my heart became more and more panicked, the 400,000 army returned in vain, what a big arrangement, but if it was at the price, then what he was trying to plan was far greater than this!

What's that then?!

The scourge of war in Dongzhou City continued, the fields were full of corpses, and the blood flowed like a river, thinking that the scene might start to spread from Dongzhou, all the way south, maybe the entire Celestial Empire, the hinterland of the Central Plains would fall into such a situation, I only felt that my whole body was trembling, and I said loudly: "What the hell are you going to do?!" ”

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he reached out and grabbed me by the neck.

"Ahh

I had difficulty breathing, desperately breaking his hand, but I couldn't shake the steely fingers in the slightest, he looked at me coldly, and said: "I think you are not that first-class mediocrity, and you are still useful to me, so I have always been very polite to you, but you must know that there are not many people who can make me really want to stay." ”

"Uh-hmm!"

"So, until my plan succeeds, you'd better not let me give up your shortcut."

I only felt that my eyes were black, and his voice sounded like a dark valley, and just when I was almost fainting, suddenly there were hurried footsteps from behind: "Prince! ”

Losh's hand let go of me, and I fell to the ground, clutching my neck and coughing vigorously.

He didn't look at me: "What's the matter?" ”
