Chapter Ninety-Seven: Northern Qi (Single)

Outside the pass, there are cards everywhere.

Qi Liang was in a tight confrontation, and he couldn't bear how many fine works were splashed on the land like water, haunting the walled cities on both sides of the border.

So the interrogation was very heavy, almost three steps and one sentry, and ten steps and one post.

On the official road, the bustling merchants and pawns in the past have become very few, and occasionally they meet many sergeants dressed up and wielding long knives in a domineering manner. There are a few people who come here alone or in groups, all of whom are bold and gamblers, and want to fight for a rich road to the border.

In the end, there are a few people who regard wealth as their fate, Chen Yu traveled unimpeded all the way, there were not a few people, and there were only a few caravans.

Not far in front of him, there was a team, surrounded by one or two hundred people, forming a queue, and the leaders of the few people rode across the big horse and looked at the wolf with a ruthless expression, obviously from the army.

The light swayed, and the others couldn't see the young Taoist near in front of him, so he only walked straight to the big mountain pass near the battlefield with a solemn face on his face.

Dashan and Jiufeng belong to one of the four passes, of which Jiufeng was originally owned by Nanliang, and was captured by surprise soldiers not long ago.

In this way, Dashan Pass has become the front line closest to the front line.

These people may be the nearest team, and I don't know which of the soldiers under their command was summoned.

Chen Yu glanced at it a few times and then retracted his gaze, bypassing the two camps with a solemn atmosphere and going to the back of the sideline, the air was finally less hurried and nervous, and the checkpoints became sparse.

After traveling for 100 miles, there was no hurry, and there was no mention of driving the clouds and the sun.

It was the first time he had seen the scene at the time of the battle, and the military attachés of the Northern Qi were different from those of the Southern Liang, such as the armor and clothes.

I saw a lot along the way, but I didn't set foot on the battlefield.

Except for secretly rescuing a few dilapidated households, punishing the thieves who took advantage of the situation, and some Qiu Ba's activities, which were so lax in military discipline that he couldn't even look at them, there was no superfluous action.

Chen Yu experienced the chaos of this earthly world, and at the same time digested the heavenly thunder he absorbed during the second thunder crossing not long ago, and constantly used his mana to evolve its characteristics, trying to explore the meaning of thunder on top of the magic image in addition to the 'mountains, rocks, grass and trees', so as to use this thunder in all aspects.

Spells, formations, realm cultivation, and even the cultivation of spiritual materials and spiritual plants can be used.

Fortunately, he has plenty of time.

Looking back behind him, the sky was empty and his mind was ethereal. If it is said that getting off Qingtai is to untie a shackle and really walk in this world, then after leaving Nanliang, which is the most familiar in memory, it is not another way to jump out of the barrier.

The immeasurable magnificence of the sea comes to mind, with the waves ups and downs, gathering and scattering.

The sky is high and the earth is far away, and this place naturally cannot be limited to a small corner, but should be farther and farther.

He looked out to be seen, and then to the east and to the west.

"Heaven and earth should be spherical, but I don't know what size the stars will be under our feet."

Facing the ocean to the east, combined with the sea surface as he could see, he confirmed that this world was not a round place as the ancient legend, but a state of 'muddy chicken'.

As for the specifics, he has to look more to know clearly.

After walking for a few hours, there were people not far ahead, and Chen Yu, who was still thinking about other things, came back to his senses, it was a small village.

With two fingers on his waist and abdomen, the Xuanyang Void Sensing Technique floated near his side, and the blue and purple faint light flowed, weaving a new appearance with his thoughts.

The mixed body was out of the dust, a circle of messy hair grew out of thin air, the clothes were stained with mud, and the trouser legs were stained with a lot of grass seeds.

Although he looked down, in the eyes of outsiders, he looked like a dusty person, and Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, so that the illusion of the five senses fabricated by the spell was not so young.

Then they walked slowly towards the village, and the villagers saw a tired man who seemed to have not corrected for several days, coming out of the forest by the roadside.

A few shouts were heard, and the village began to assemble.

After all, it was wartime, and the bandits in Qidi were indeed not as fierce as in the south, but this place was really close to the border, and sometimes there were 'bandits' who came to fight the autumn wind.

Or the border soldiers put on their coats and eat in the countryside, or the people of the Southern Liang sneaked into the customs to make trouble.

This has been the case for decades, if it were not for the relocation of the land, I am afraid that there would have been no village left here, Rao is like this, and now there are few young people in the village, most of them have been arrested and enlisted in the army, and some have escaped with the acquiescence of the villagers, and it is better to leave their hometowns than to die in a small place.

Chen Yu came to inquire, and the alarmed other party was vigilant, if more than one person seemed to be weak, there might not be so many dozen people in the village gathered at the entrance of the village.

Not surprised by this, he just had a few conversations, asking how the situation was in the neighborhood, how many towns there were, and where they were.

He also asked a few medicine pickers in the village who often went in and out of the city to sell mountain goods whether there were any local specialties, such as unique medicinal materials that were rare in other places.

There are still a lot of open spaces in Qinghao Mountain, and he has been pondering the cultivation of spiritual materials recently, so he has put a lot of thought into this aspect. Although it is well-informed to go to the big city, there are still some herbs with unique effects but few medicinal uses, so they are not taken seriously, and they are not well known in the city, and they have to consult the old people who go in and out of the mountains and forests all year round.

The people in the village have lived here for generations, and the output around them is eloquent, but when it comes to the surrounding situation, they can't go out of the nearby 100 miles.

"Thank you, uncle."

After hearing about several medicinal herbs that might be local specialties from the mouths of the crowd, Chen Yu kept it in mind, whether it was true or not, and went to see it by the way, it was always out of the way.

He didn't stay for a long time, and the spell only worked for half an hour, and the active spirituality in the sublimation naturally affected him, so that the people of the village had a lot of closeness to him.

Even if he deliberately controlled it after discovering it, in the end, everyone's eyes became a lot softer, Chen Yu saw it in his eyes, and had some thoughts about the changes after spiritual sublimation.

Putting his guess to a halt and declining Muramasa's invitation to take a break, he left the place and walked west along the official road.

……

Fifty years ago, the Northern Qi Dynasty was founded, and the first war at the beginning of the country tossed the then Great Zhao into pieces, and the north and the south have confronted each other since then.

In the past few decades, when it comes to changing dynasties, there is something to say in the south, from Zhao and Song, from Liang to Song, seeing that the Great Liang Dynasty is also about to collapse halfway, I don't know when I have to change another stubble, which is not infrequent.

However, when it comes to the force of conquest, the Northern Qi Dynasty, with its vast grasslands and several cavalry towns, has actually always had an advantage.

The reason why he has never been able to cross the Henan expedition is because the two places outside the Saiwai and the Northern Desert are full of dozens or hundreds of fierce and cunning alien races.

The so-called alien race, from passers-by, sounds like Ru Mao sucking blood and wearing wild skins, Chen Yu is noncommittal, thinking that it should be not much different from Yidi in the previous life, they are all clans that are very different from the Central Plains Dynasty in all aspects.

The barbarians have always longed for the prosperity of the south, so they often raid the border, and the north is attacked, so they move away with their families and flee, and the limelight returns to the original state once it passes.

It is like a maggot attached to the bone, which cannot be cut and killed.

It is precisely because of this force that the south of the river has a respite, and the troops in the north can stand down.
