Chapter IX Escort Officer
Winter snowflakes drift over the mountains and onto the bumpy roads. The snow was so thick that it was up to your knees as soon as you stepped down. And on this inaccessible road, at this moment, there is a long crowd of people, slowly moving eastward. If you look closely, these people are all wearing thick cotton jackets, with thick strips of cloth wrapped around their feet, and their whole bodies are tightly covered, like bears, slowly climbing on this difficult road.
The destination of these ordinary people is the Great Snow Mountain, and it is also the final place of the great migration ordered by the sea and the sky.
As the holy land of the Tianyun Continent, unlike the Demon Canyon, the Great Snow Mountain brings the world a kind of warmth and peace from heaven. The white snow covered the entire mountain range, like a lightest feather coat. The snow falls all year round, settles down, and does not want to leave. On the mountain, there are mirrors everywhere, reflecting the sun, and from a distance, the entire Daxue Mountain seems to be covered with a layer of golden armor, like a heroic general. For ordinary people, the Great Snow Mountain is the last pure land in the world. Every time the war breaks out in the Tianyun Continent, countless people want to take refuge in the Great Snow Mountain, because the magical white light will protect the weak and reject those who have force and commit violence at will. Therefore, even though the Tianyun Continent has been plagued by disasters since ancient times, the Beihai Kingdom has still been able to stand tall and exist for a long time.
However, this time, even the Great Snow Mountains no longer seem to be absolutely safe.
For a long time, the Great Snow Mountains have been a quiet place, uninhabited. But at this time, the entire snowy mountain was crowded with people, and the voices of people were boiling. Every day, about twenty percent of the disciples of the Mumen have to turn on all their sage power to maintain the large array that drives away the cold qi, so that the old and weak women and children who have migrated to the Great Snow Mountain from all over Beihai will be frozen to death by the low temperature of the Great Snow Mountain. However, even with a large array to drive away the cold, the wooden door can only maintain the temperature at around zero. Since the Chengtian Empire had already issued a general mobilization for war, in addition to the necessary guards, the rest of the Mumen disciples went to the front line one after another under Song Shijie's order to support the battle. At the same time, almost every day, thousands of Beihai people arrive in groups in the Snow Mountains. Wang Haimu of Bohai County was responsible for overseeing the entire Great Migration, while Snow White was personally appointed by her father Haitian as the general responsible for the safety of the people and the logistics and transportation of the Great Migration.
Haitian didn't want his daughter to set foot on the battlefield. However, the strong enemy pressed the border, and the generals in front were short of manpower, so in the end, Snow White became the escort officer responsible for the safety of logistics and transportation, and made every effort to ensure the supply of food and grass for the Northern Navy.
Despite being a daughter, Snow White is a brave girl. Under the fairy-like beauty, he has a heroic spirit that does not lose to his eyebrows. Although Snow White is twenty-eight years old, she has been practicing in Mumen since she was a child, and she is a close disciple of Muyi. In Mumen, in terms of swordsmanship, Hai Xue is second only to her senior brother "Snow Mountain Flying Sword" Song Shijie. Not only that, Snow White is now an upright North Sea ice general, and she can be described as both talented and beautiful. As a result, Haitian will be relieved to let Snow White serve as the escort general and logistics transportation officer of the Great Migration.
Pure white armor, pale pink cloak, in the wind and snow, a heroic female general is patrolling the team that has just arrived at the destination, comforting the people of Beihai who don't know why. Not long after, a middle-aged lieutenant general ran in the distance, holding a spear in his hand, and knelt down in front of the female general.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, all the 50,000 people escorted this time have arrived at the designated place. Now, the Mumen disciples are in charge of placing them. The adjutant general said sweating profusely and panting.
"General Wang has worked hard all the way. In addition to the common people, how have other materials, especially grain and grass, been raised? In addition, I would like to ask the general to explain the situation of the transformation of cultivated land. Hai Xue replied softly, and personally helped up the lieutenant general in front of him.
The lieutenant was flattered and hurriedly got up. This general named Wang Lin is also an ice general, and is currently the deputy general of Snow White, responsible for assisting Snow White and protecting the safety of Her Royal Highness. At the same time, Wang Lin is also the commander-in-chief of the Tianbao Mountain Defense Area, responsible for the security of the Tianbao Mountain Defense Area.
After taking a breath, Wang Lin replied in a positive voice: "Princess Qiyu, as of today, all the newly built granaries on the Great Snow Mountain have been basically filled, and there are a total of fifty large granaries. In order to build these granaries, wooden doors were frozen using a special method that allowed each granary to supply a million people for twenty years. However, despite the abundance of food, with the migration of a large number of people, the land of the counties of Beihai is now in a state of barrenness. In the long run, the last general is worried that he will sit on the mountain and eat nothing. What's worse is that the Great Song Dynasty, who was willing to sell us grain before, has stopped selling grain to our country in order not to offend the Chengtian Empire. Now, there is no food source other than through trading with the small countries of Yunhe. At present, the number of women and children on the snowy mountain is nearly 10 million, and the number will increase as time goes by. According to the current situation, it seems that the king is preparing to move the whole country to the Great Snow Mountain. As for the transformation of cultivated land, the disciples of Mumen had already searched the entire county of Hanshan County, but they had not found a suitable place, and if the entire land of Hanshan County was transformed on the existing basis, this would be tantamount to climbing to the sky. Even if it is a wooden door, there is no countermeasure for the time being. ”
After listening to General Wang's message, Snow White frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and said melancholy: "The strong enemy invades, and my father knows that he is invincible, so he will transfer the people in advance and continue my Beihai." Although the environment of Daxue Mountain is harsh, after all, it is still the home of our Beihai people, even if it freezes to death, it is better to be a slave of the country in the past and suffer from the bullying of others. It's just that I pity those old grandfathers and grandmothers, who are weak and can't come here, so they can only say goodbye to their relatives and can no longer enjoy the joy of family. As he spoke, two lines of tears involuntarily ran down his cheeks and dripped on the crystal snow.
The Snow Princess's tears made Wang Lin suddenly excited, and then said loudly: "The princess doesn't have to be sad, our Beihai men will defend the land and defend the country and fight until the last moment." ”
"Thank you, General Wang. However, now that we can't find suitable land for cultivation, how can this be good?" As soon as these words came out, Snow White and Wang Lin fell silent. More and more women and children are taking refuge, although within a hundred years, the snowy mountains can be safeguarded. However, there will come a time when the grain and grass will run out. At the current rate of consumption, one granary can only sustain all Beihai people for two years. Even if the Chengtian Empire is finally blocked from Tianbao Mountain, a hundred years later, Beihai will once again face a life-and-death decision.
"A hundred years from now, we will all be gone. Shijie, do you say, will we be together forever?" In the cold wind and snow, a pink dream orchid bloomed quietly, watching her hometown alone.
