Chapter 406: The City of Frost and Snow
After the little man finished speaking, he found that Su Mu was gone, but Tang Tang and the others had already seen Su Mu standing behind him.
When the little man realized that Su Mu was standing behind him, he also felt a chill on his neck, and when he reached out to touch it, he found that his hands were full of blood.
The dwarf then fell to the ground, and the blood from the severed neck quickly spread beneath him.
It's fast! Tang Tang couldn't help but gasp, he knew that Su Mu was the number one thorn in the Xuan Division, known for his speed, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
The moment the little man fell, Tang Tang was even thinking, if he faced off with Su Mu, what were the chances of winning?
The outcome is probably decided at the moment of the shot.
The emaciated giant didn't react to what was going on at all, and he didn't even notice Su Mu standing behind him, but instead slashed directly towards Tang Tang with a giant axe.
Tang Tang was originally sure to take this blow and fight back at the same time, but he was worried that he would take this blow, but the horse he was riding could not bear the weight, so he had to draw his knife and strike, and after cutting off the giant's wrist, he directly cut off the giant's head.
Su Mu and Tang Tang each killed one person, directly shocking the guys around them who were still about to move.
Wu Wei on the carriage in the rear immediately retracted his head into the carriage when he saw this, when he didn't see anything, as a member of the Wu family, he had seen a lot of masters on the rivers and lakes, but he had never seen such top masters as Su Mu and Tang Tang, plus both of them were from the imperial court, which made Wu Wei clearly know that he was not even a foil for this trip, at most it was an ornament.
Cai Qianqing was as calm as ever, sitting in the car and reading a book, deaf to what was going on outside the window.
As for the little bell, she didn't even have the interest in opening the curtain to take a look.
Although the people around were shocked by Tang Tang and Su Mu's skills, there were many strangers and some guys who could be called monsters, so they were still waiting for an opportunity.
For these guys, their opportunity is to take advantage of the fact that others are swarming to grab and fight, and they can steal as much as they can.
Facing this group of guys who don't know if they can see the sunrise tomorrow alive, Tang Tang and Su Mu both feel tricky, although even the coachman in the team is equipped with martial arts, but they can't stand the large number of people in the canyon outside the city, not to mention that there are many strangers among these people.
Tang Tang whispered to Su Mu beside him, "Don't act rashly, they are also waiting for an opportunity."
Su Mu said coldly, "In short, whoever gets close to the convoy will die."
Just when the two sides were tense and the outer city canyon was about to turn into a battlefield, Jiang Danling finally arrived with the army of the Yan Clan's Five Banners stationed in Frost Snow City, that is, the Frost Snow Army in his mouth.
Although the Frost and Snow Army he brought with him was no more than a hundred, these soldiers were strong, and their heavy leather jackets were only covered with a layer of leather armor that seemed to be used to identify their identities, and the leather armor only simply protected their chests and abdomen, and as for the rest of their bodies, there was no protective gear at all.
In the cold land of Ruiyuan, if you wear too little, you will freeze to death, and if you wear too much, it is definitely not conducive to activity, let alone fighting.
Therefore, the warriors of the Yan clan would rather give up the extra protective gear and ensure the most basic flexibility.
Jiang Danling was riding a white horse, the horse was originally very huge, and under the backdrop of Jiang Danling's short and fat body, it looked even bigger, like a mouse riding on a ram.
Although Jiang Danling's appearance looked so funny, it directly dispersed those guys who originally planned to get close to the team.
After those people saw Jiang Danling and the Frost and Snow Army behind them, they immediately returned to their previous place, not even daring to raise their eyes to look.
Jiang Danling pulled the horse to stop, first looked at the dwarf and the giant who died on the ground, then looked at Su Mu and Tang Tang, and then hugged his fists and asked, "Two, I am Jiang Danling, the city lord of Frost Snow City, may I ask who the two are?" Look at the book
Tang Tang did not return the long knife to its sheath, but returned the salute with the knife: "In Wujian, the original fire of Xiahua Yuan, this is my sworn brother Su Mu beside me."
Jiang Danling immediately jumped off the horse instead of turning over and dismounting, because the horse was too tall and he was too short.
Tang Tang
He Su Mu was also very surprised, he didn't think that the city lord of Frost Snow City would be like this, because the Ruiyuan Yan clan was all tall and big, although its level was not as good as that of the Rouyuan people, but it was also much stronger than them.
At the same time that Jiang Danling landed, Whistle Xiaoliu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, lest he lose his balance and fall.
Jiang Danling stood firm and smiled all over his face: "Master Wu, no, Grand Master Wu, I have already received a letter from the summer capital, and I know that a distinguished guest has come to Frost Snow City, and I didn't go out of the city in time to greet him because of my busy official duties, so I ask for forgiveness."
Tang Tang said, "It's okay, it's just that we had to take action because someone tried to loot the caravan before."
As he spoke, Tang Tang glanced at the two corpses on the ground again.
Jiang Danling didn't take it seriously at all: "These miscellaneous people are looking for death, they deserve it, my rules here are very simple, if you dare to harass the distinguished guests of the Yan Clan's Five Banners, you will be killed, but it is a pity that I didn't see the two people who killed these two miscellaneous people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and it became Jiang's regret in life."
Jiang Danling's flattering words made Su Mu sound very uncomfortable, but Tang Tang, as the housekeeper of the Tang Mansion, had long been used to listening to it.
At the same time, Jiang Danling's words also explained that the five banners of the Yan clan regarded the Wu family caravan as a distinguished guest, and they were protected along the way.
Tang Tang said: "Since there is no hindrance, it is the best, and please ask the city lord to lead the way and lead the convoy into the city, because the weather is too cold, the people and horses are tired, and they urgently need to warm up and rest."
Jiang Danling immediately raised his hand and ordered the Frost Snow Army: "The whole army obeys the order, escorts the convoy into the city, and those who dare to approach the convoy will be killed!"
The Frost and Snow Army immediately divided into two teams, quickly rushed into the canyon from the left and right sides, and then protected the sides of the convoy.
At the same time that the Frost and Snow Army rushed into the canyon, the guys who were called miscellaneous people who were originally hiding on both sides immediately dodged, some ran up the ladder towards the top, and some began to climb directly towards the top of the canyon wall.
Two people were stabbed to death because they couldn't dodge and accidentally touched the soldiers of the Frost and Snow Army.
Seeing that the Frost Snow Army did not hesitate to attack these miscellaneous people, Su Mu, a thorn who had killed countless people, was very surprised, as if it was not a person who was killed, but a wild dog that stood in the way.
Su Mu looked at Tang Tang, who deliberately smiled, showing that he was very satisfied with what Jiang Danling had done.
Jiang Danling was naturally very proud, and then stepped on the shoulders of his subordinate Xiaoliu and climbed on horseback, leading the convoy into Frost Snow City.
After Su Mu and Tang Tang rode horses and followed Jiang Danling out of the canyon, they saw a dangerous road built along the ridge that was only two feet wide, and at the end of the dangerous road was the Frost Snow City built on a lonely mountain called Frost Snow Mountain.
In fact, Frost Snow City is a huge castle expanded on the basis of the original Frost Snow Castle, the castle is divided into five parts, four of which are the four floors and towers of the east, west, north and south, and the fifth part is the underground cave of the castle.
Jiang Danling rode a horse to the right of Tang Tang, although he was the master, but this move was a sign of respect for the distinguished guests.
After Jiang Danling gave a brief introduction to Frost Snow City, he turned around and glanced at the convoy again: "The reason why this road built along the ridge is called a dangerous road is because there are no railings on both sides, not to mention a blizzard, even when the wind is stronger, people and horses will not be able to stand steadily, and they will be directly blown into the abyss below."
When Su Mu heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the cliff on the left, and sighed in his heart that the terrain of Xia Ruiyuan was too complicated.
Obviously, it was a flat road before entering the outer city of the canyon, but when you pass through the canyon, it turns out to be a ridge, and below the ridge is an abyss.
Tang Tang sighed, "The terrain of Frost Snow City is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Jiang Danling smiled, "In the history of Ruiyuan, Frost Snow City has never been attacked from the outside."
Tang Tang then said something slightly meaningful: "Fortresses are often breached from within."
Jiang Danling glanced at Tang Tang when he heard this, but he just smiled and did not answer.
Su Mu heard something mysterious from Tang Tang's words, it seemed that Tang Tang also came to Ruiyuan with other missions.
The convoy walked slowly on the steep ridge and traveled for half an hour before it came to Frost
Under Syracuse.
The huge gates of Frost and Snow City can only be opened by pushing them from the inside out, and the two heavy gates should be made of cold iron, which requires manpower to turn the mechanism to open, and it is almost impossible for foreign enemies to attack and smash the gates directly.
It is estimated that even the artillery that the Dachang Dynasty was proud of could not be broken.
Tang Tang and Su Mu entered the Frost and Snow City, looking at the black high-rise buildings covered with snow on all sides, they subconsciously held their breath, feeling as if they had been swallowed by this huge black monster.
It was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a crudely built, yet sturdy and heavy building. This building, which has stood for thousands of years in the wind and snow, makes people feel awe.
What kind of mood did the original exiles have in this harsh environment to build the Frost Snow Castle, and how many lives have they sacrificed to expand it into the Frost Snow City.
The open space in Frost Snow City could hold almost fifty carriages, so the thirty carriages of the Wu family's caravan were more than enough to park in it.
At the same time, Tang Tang and Su Mu also saw a lot of men and women kneeling on the edge of the building and wearing white clothes, who should be servants here.
After Jiang Danling dismounted, he looked at the south building and said, "Eldest prince, your entourage lives in the south building, I have already arranged it, you and Brother Su live in the east building next to it, the east building faces the direction of the sunrise, and it is also the building with the longest sunshine time every day in Frost Snow City, which will be much warmer."
Tang Tang clenched his fists and thanked him: "Thank you, City Lord."
Jiang Danling immediately said, "This is what I should do, I will set up a banquet, and after the son is freshened up, please appreciate his face after a short rest."
Tang Tang said, "City Lord, you are too polite."
After the two were polite again, Jiang Danling said goodbye first.
Tang Tang immediately went to Wu Wei's carriage and informed Wu Wei of the arrangements, while Su Mu went to ask Xiao Bell to get off the car.
But the little bell didn't want to get out of the car, but asked lightly, "When will you leave again?"
Su Mu said honestly, "I don't know, I might stay here for a few days."
Little Bell wondered, "Why?"
Su Mu said, "There are some things I don't know yet, and even if I do, I can't tell you, because it's a matter of imperial court secrets."
In fact, Su Mu only knew that he was here to protect Tang Xiaohao, and as for the rest, he didn't know anything.
Little Bell naturally didn't want to understand why, she just desperately wanted to go to the summer capital, but she thought about it, her goal was to go to Ruishan, judging from the map, it seems that Hucheng is the closest to Ruishan, it is better to rest here for a few days, and after arriving at Hucheng with the convoy, it is not too late to leave by herself.
When thinking about this, Little Bell deliberately didn't think about Tang Xiaohao.
She couldn't think about it, and she couldn't even think of Tang Xiaohao's name in her mind.
Otherwise, she would definitely not have been able to leave.
There are traces that remain deep in each other's hearts, and even the cruel years cannot be erased.
