Chapter 723

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin continued to cover as hunters, successfully passed the inspection, and entered Crouching Tiger Pass

If in the past, Crouching Tiger Pass was just a dispensable fortress, then now, it has become an important military checkpoint in Ningguo, the facilities inside are being renovated and rebuilt, the city walls are being heightened and reinforced, and various urban defense weapons are constantly being transported in.

It can be seen that Lin Han has made the worst plan, and in the case of the loss of the county seat, he is ready to use Crouching Tiger Pass as a barrier to keep the wind army out of the pass.

The two took advantage of the short time of customs clearance to carefully inspect the situation inside Crouching Tiger Pass several times, and after passing the pass, Cheng Jin frowned tightly and said in a low voice: "Big brother, Crouching Tiger Pass is a natural danger, if you let the Ning people consolidate it like this, when our army advances here, it may be difficult to break through." ”

Tang Yin nodded thoughtfully, and after walking for a while, he turned over and dismounted, and said as he walked towards the mountains and forests on the side of the road: "Cheng Jin, where are we going." ”

didn't understand what he was going to do, Cheng Jin also hurriedly dismounted, following Tang Yin.

Both sides of Crouching Tiger Pass are high mountains and cliffs, and Crouching Tiger Pass is located in the middle of both cliffs.

The mountains and forests are dense, and the grass and vines are everywhere, and after walking for a while, the horses will not be able to enter. Tang Yin tied the horse to an old tree, then drew his scimitar and walked inside while chopping grass and vines. Cheng Jin followed him inexplicably, and wanted to ask several times, but in the end he held back.

It is not easy to pass through the mountains and forests, and when he came to the cliff, Tang Yin raised his eyes and looked up, okay, the cliff is as smooth as a mirror, if you want to climb up, even a cultivator who is a superb cultivator has to make a lot of effort.

Without warning, Tang Yin's hands emitted a black mist, which instantly condensed into spirit armor, his palm stretched out, and thrust forward, only to hear a click, under his spirit armor, the hard mountain stone was like tofu, and the five fingers were all submerged into the cliff.

His fingers retracted, and he pulled out his palm, and suddenly there was a small hole in the cliff, and there was also an extra mountain rock in his palm. After weighing the weight of the mountain stone slightly, and then grasping it a little harder, the mountain stone shattered in response, and fine stone chips slipped down from the gap in his palm.

Clapping his hands, Tang Yin dispersed the spirit armor, turned back to Cheng Jin and smiled, and said, "Go back!"

It took so much effort to come over, and I didn't see what he did, so he had to go back again, Cheng Jin really couldn't understand what Tang Yin was thinking.

While walking back, Tang Yin said: "Crouching Tiger Pass has been abandoned for a long time, and now it is almost a reconstruction, which requires a lot of labor, we can let the spies of the Sky Eye and the Earth Net pretend to be Ning Ren and blend in in case of emergency." ”

Cheng Jin nodded and said, "Big brother, it's safer for this matter to be handled by the dark arrow, right?"

"Dark cultivators are easy to see through their identities, and most of the brothers of the Heavenly Eye and the Earth Net are ordinary people. ”

"If you take the Scattered Spirit Pill in advance, and be more cautious in ordinary times, Ning Ren may not be able to see the flaws. ”

"En!" Tang Yin thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, you can send some of the Dark Arrow Brothers to blend in, but it doesn't need too much." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. Cheng Jin agreed, and asked curiously, "Why did the king suddenly come here?"

Tang Yin smiled and said, "You'll know later." ”

Through the Crouching Tiger Pass, through several Ningjun fortresses, and then forward, is Kouwan City. Kou Wan City is located in the westernmost part of Xiaoling County, bordering Yunkou County, originally Kou Wan was just an inconspicuous small city, but now with the pressure of the wind army, Kou Wan has become the most lively city in Xiaoling County.

The city can be described as overcrowded, the people of Xiaoling County fled to the west on a large scale, many of them stayed in Kou Wan, the streets and alleys of the city, pedestrians are endless, street vendors are crowds, and the sound of shouting is endless, even when the New Year is celebrated, Kou Wan has not been so lively and prosperous.

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin did not stay in the city for long, replenished food and water, and went directly through the city and entered the territory of Yunkou County.

To Yunkou County, it seems to have returned to Hedong and Hexi, which is one of the most important places for domestic grain in Ningning, and the annual grain output is second only to Hedong. But Yunkou County is a big county after all, with developed industry, commerce and agriculture, and a large population.

Their feeling is right, Yunkou County is the county with the largest number of local troops in Ningguo, the total strength of each county and city is close to 150,000 people, the twelve cities in the county, basically each city has more than 10,000 garrisons, if you add the militia forces in each town and village, its strength can reach 200,000.

Such a large county with a vast territory and a large number of troops is a piece of fat in the eyes of Tang Yin and Cheng Jin, but it is not easy to gnaw.

On the way, Cheng Jin said: "Big brother, although Yunkou County is a plain area, the territory is too large, and the strength of the local army should not be underestimated, I am afraid it will not be easy to fight this battle!"

"That's right!" Tang Yin said with a smile: "It seems that we have one more task to go to Liangzhou this time." ”

"What?"

"We have to find a way to get the local army of Yunkou County away. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Jin was secretly taken aback, then nodded thoughtfully, and said: "If you can get the local army here, Yunkou County will not be worried, the plains here are flat and river, it is very easy to march, if there is no enemy army to stop it, it will only take five days for our army to pass through Yunkou County." ”

"Yes! If it is cavalry, it will be possible to reach Liangzhou in two days. ”

"It's just that Yan Chu will agree to transfer the troops of Yunkou County?"

"Of course not. Tang Yin smiled and muttered, "So, we have to work harder......"

There were no words on the road, Tang Yin and Cheng Jin passed through Yunkou County smoothly, and then walked forward, which was the capital of Ningguo - Liangzhou.

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin arrived in Liangzhou at ten o'clock in the morning, at this time it was just in time for the mist to fall from the sky, and when they raised their eyes, the huge Liangzhou City was shrouded in mist, looking inside, the high platforms and pavilions were lined up, hazy, like a fairyland.

The two sat on their horses and looked a little stunned for a while.

This is Ningdu, where the Ningguo Imperial Court is located!

Who would have thought that just two years ago, Ningguo's army was still besieging Yancheng, the wind capital, and two years later, the spearhead of the wind army had turned to Liangzhou.

After a long time, Cheng Jinfang came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh: "If there is no king, I'm afraid that my wind army will not be able to beat Liangzhou in another hundred years!"

Tang Yin was happy, turned his head and glanced at Cheng Jin, and said, "What is Liangzhou, which is just a mere one?

Cheng Jin looked at Tang Yin in surprise and asked, "Great King...... After the eldest brother destroys Ning, do you still want to use troops?"

Tang Yin said quietly: "The annexation of the eight counties of Ning Country, the territory of my Feng Country will almost be doubled, and the national strength will be increased several times, and whoever dares to disobey the orders of the imperial court will be trampled on his head by the army of my Feng Country!"

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Big brother wants to dominate the world?"

Tang Yin said with a smile: "It's to help the imperial court rule the world." ”

"And then the eldest brother will abolish the Son of Heaven again?"

Tang Yin's body was shocked, he looked at Cheng Jin squarely, and said with a smile: "No, I'm ...... But how can you do such a rebellious thing?"

Cheng Jin smiled bitterly. The king's words seem to be a joke, half-truths and half-truths, but even if the king does not have the intention of ascending to the throne at this time, it does not mean that there will be no in the future, the prince of a country is very different from the emperor of the world, who can say what will happen in the future?

He seemed to say to himself and to Tang Yin, and said, "The Wind Country can change the dynasty, why can't the empire?"

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, didn't speak again, clamped the horse's belly between his feet, and shouted: "Drive!"

The horses neighed, jumped out, and the four hooves climbed on, and went straight to Liangzhou. Cheng Jin didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly urged the horse, following closely behind Tang Yin.

The eastern and southern borders of Ningguo are in full swing, but it does not affect the prosperity and prosperity of the capital at all, even if it is only early in the morning, the people who enter the city form a long queue.

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin mixed among the people, entered the city, walked on the streets of Liangzhou, the feeling of the two is that the first person is many, the pedestrians in Liangzhou City are surging, and the north and south of the world, there are all of them, the second is the pavilion is high, obviously the construction industry of Ningguo is very developed, the four-story and five-story pavilions are rare in the country of wind, and here, you can see it everywhere, Tang Yin also deliberately took a closer look, the general foundation of the high-rise pavilion is made of stone, and the upper floor is wooden, which is very solid, without the slightest sense of crumbling.

After reading it, Tang Yin was also nodding secretly, the civilization of Ningguo is much higher than that of Fengguo, not only the construction industry, but also in various other fields, because of this, Tang Yin is even more covetous of Ningguo, and the annexation of the eight counties of Ningguo will undoubtedly add a large number of talents in various fields to Fengguo, which can make the civilization and national strength of the Fengjun leap forward in a short period of time.

"Big brother, what are we going to do now?" After a dizzying amazement, Cheng Jin gradually regained his composure and asked Tang Yin beside him.

Tang Yin said: "Find an inn to live in first." ”

Cheng Jin nodded, and then said in a low voice: "Big brother, do we need to dress up again?" After all, there are many Ning soldiers who have fought with us, and it would be bad if they were recognized on the street. ”

Tang Yin secretly praised Cheng Jin's carefulness, he raised his hand to lift the sweat towel wrapped around his neck, covered his mouth, and said: "That's it, even if you really meet someone who has seen us, the other party may not dare to admit it." ”

This is true, who would dare to believe that the dignified Wind King would appear in Liangzhou with only one entourage?

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Tang Yin and Cheng Jin found an inconspicuous inn and stayed temporarily. Next, Tang Yin began to choose the object he wanted to woo.

His first target was Zhang Zhihong, the right minister of Ningguo.

In the Ningguo court, Zhang Zhihong and Tang Yin's hatred is deep, Zhang Zhihong's son Zhang Chu was once captured by Tang Yin and tortured into a waste, but it is precisely because Zhang Zhihong hates himself that if he can be brought over and let him do things for himself, it is very convincing.
