Chapter 16: Take the initiative

This is still the range of the Green Pine Mountains, but it is only a foothill area, so the bush is relatively thick.

"Big brother, are they really disciples of the Chuyun Sword Sect?" Just as Yang Ning and the others were leaving, one of the sergeants asked the leader just now.

The leader nodded: "Looking at their appearance, that young man is surrounded by sword intent, and he should be a disciple of the Chuyun Sword Sect." The leader looked at the direction in which the two were leaving, and then said: "Everyone must be in good spirits during this time, and beware of enemy spies passing through." As he spoke, he led more than 20 people and began to be on guard.

As everyone knows, the spies of the Windswept Army have passed through safely under their noses.

After the two of them passed the level of the Ushi Empire, they quickly went into hiding.

"I'm glad you spoke just now, otherwise we probably wouldn't have passed so unscathed." The burning cold has palpitations. Although the cultivation of the more than 20 people just now was not high, Burning Han knew in his heart that once the two of them showed their flaws, they would probably face Zhao Dongyan's army, and then the two of them would definitely die here.

Yang Ning explained: "Although the Chuyun Sword Sect is hidden. But as a disciple, there are still necessary trials, otherwise the Chuyun Sword Sect would not have established Yuci and become the second largest sect. ”

Burning Han nodded, a little curious about Yang Ning's knowledge of the sect, and asked, "Yang Ning, are you really from Qingying Town?" ”

Yang Ning was slightly stunned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nope." Burning Han waved his hand and said, "I just feel like you're quite mysterious." ”

Yang Ning smiled slightly and said, "Brother Burning Han, I directly changed your name for you just now, please forgive me." ”

"It's fine." Burning Han said: "Anyway, my original name can't be used, just as you said, call Ding Yan and forget it." ”

The two of them passed through Yushi's level, and the cold was relaxed for a while.

The identities of the two have already been determined. Yang Ning is the outstanding disciple of the new generation of the Chuyun Sword Sect, and Burning Han is Ding Yan, as Yang Ning's follower. The two of them walked the Yuci Empire just to experience.

"Brother Ding Yan, what direction should we go next?" Yang Ning looked at the flat prairie under the mountain, as far as the eye could see, and he was a little distracted.

For such a prairie, even the well-informed Yang Ning saw it for the first time.

The first feeling for Yang Ning is vastness, followed by emptiness. It's really empty.

Burning Han took out the map from his arms, pointed to the red line on it, and said: "We have just crossed the Heavenly Trench Cliff, and in the Yuci Empire, the closest to here is Baofeng City, and Zhao Dongyan's army is also stationed in Baofeng City, so our primary purpose is to go to Baofeng City." Burning Han pointed to a city on the west side of the red line.

"Bao Fengcheng?" Yang Ning was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the Yuci Empire was not heavily guarded in this Qingsong Mountain Range.

"Yang Ning, you may not know that although our Wind Army guards the Heavenly Trench Cliff, if we want to cross the Heavenly Trench Cliff and invade the Yuci Empire, in terms of national strength, it is simply impossible, therefore, this Heavenly Trench Cliff is actually the natural barrier of our Liuyun Country, but it is not the Yuci Empire."

This is the first time Yang Ning has heard that someone has objectively analyzed the strength of the two countries.

Originally, Yang Ning thought that even if the strength of the two countries was very different, it was within a certain range, but now it seems that it is not what he imagined.

It turned out that the Yuci Empire was so powerful, Yang Ning sighed slightly in his heart.

"How far is this Fengcheng from the Heavenly Trench Cliff?" Yang Ning asked.

"Baili." Burning Han said.

Yang Ning nodded and said, "So, aren't we going to take a detour?" ”

"Detour?" Burning cold was a bit of a surprise.

Yang Ning said: "You forgot? The day before yesterday, the general said that Zhao Dongyan's army was stationed only fifty miles away from the Tianqian Cliff, and Baofeng City, where we were on this trip, was a hundred miles away, so didn't we need to make a detour? Yang Ning pointed to the map in Burning Han's hand.

Burning Han smiled and said, "So that's what you said, we don't need to go around, you come and see." ”

Burning Han said, pointing to the west side of the red line on the map, and said, "Look here now. ”

Burning Han nodded again in a straight line between their location and Baofeng City, and said, "This should be where Zhao Dongyan's army is stationed. ”

"Huh?" Yang Ning was a little surprised: "The marching route of this Yuci Empire, why is it not a straight line?" ”

Burning Han explained: "The U-Grant Empire is famous for its iron cavalry in the Sixteen Kingdoms of Surabaya, so their iron cavalry is very strong, but the most important thing in the iron cavalry is not the soldier, but the horse, so the U-Ci Empire attaches great importance to the choice of mounts. ”

Yang Ning pointed to the location that Burning Han pointed at just now and said, "You mean, this is the breeding point of their mount?" ”

Burning Han nodded.

"I see." Yang Ning finally understood why he didn't take a detour.

"In this case, let's set off and head to Baofeng City." Yang Ning said.

The two of them shuttled through the bushes and soon came to the grassland.

"Brother Ding Yan, here is rich in things and rich in people, why does Yuci still try to go east?" Walking on the prairie, Yang Ning felt the wilderness.

"Although there are rich things and people here, it is for ordinary people, and on this prairie, there are single crops, which is not as simple as you say." Burning Han explained.

"Brother Ding Yan, you said that ordinary people, is there any restriction on cultivators here?" Yang Ning could quickly understand the meaning of Burning Cold's words.

"Yes, although the grassland is vast, in terms of cultivation materials, I'm afraid that Yu Ci is not as good as my Liuyun Country, which is also the main reason why Yu Ci has been trying to go east for many years." Burning Han said that the source of the contradiction between the Yuci Empire and the Liuyun Kingdom was broken.

"It turns out that no matter where you go, people's greed is endless." Yang Ning was distracted for a while.

"Yes, man's desires never end." Burning Han looked at the green prairie, felt the scenery of the grassland, and said softly.

After nearly a day of hurrying for the two, Bao Feng City on the map finally appeared in the field of vision of the two.

"There should be Baofeng City ahead." Burning Han pointed to the faint outline of the castle in front of him.

"It's getting dark, let's get into the city quickly." Yang Ning looked up at the sky, the sun was already setting in the west, and it was about to disappear into the western sky.

The two quickened their pace and walked towards the city.

Baofeng City, it doesn't look majestic. There is some tranquility against the backdrop of the setting sun.

There are three city gates, medium and large and two small, and the city wall is only less than three zhang high, and on the city wall, you can see scattered guard soldiers, and the bustling crowd on the road is in a hurry.

"Brother Ding Yan, this Fengcheng is not as lively as imagined." Yang Ning sighed. Originally, Yang Ning thought that he would see a lively and lively city, but when he saw such a scene, he was a little disappointed.

Burning Han said softly: "The Yuci Empire, nomads are the mainstay, therefore, for the construction of the city, I don't attach much importance to it, this Baofeng City, if it weren't for the garrison of the army, I'm afraid there would be no such city." ”

Burning Han said, pointing to the pedestrians on the street, and said, "Just these people, it's already very good." ”

Yang Ning was a little speechless.

In the city, most of the houses are mainly round-headed, and in some places, tents are directly built with felt.

"Let's hurry up and find an inn or something, so we can sleep tonight." Burning Han said, gesturing to a lit inn in front of him.

Regarding the miserable scene of Baofeng City, Yang Ning quickly adapted. Soon, Burning Han paid and stayed at this inn.

Yang Ning came to the cold room.

"Yang Ning, aren't you sleeping yet?" Burning Han said.

"Brother Ding Yan, let's plan first, how to blend into Yuci's army." The biggest purpose of Yang Ning's trip was to find out the main intention of the Yuci Empire's actions, and if you want to figure these out, you must go deep into the Yuci Army.

"When I came, didn't the general say that we went to the army to test with the Chuyun Sword Sect that entered the WTO, and everything didn't come naturally, why is there any problem?" The cold is incomprehensible.

Although Burning Han does not have the flexible brain of Bo Yan, he can become one of the eight captains and generals, so he naturally has his own advantages, otherwise he would not have been promoted by Qin Feng.

"However, if we go directly like this, the Yuci military will definitely be suspicious, right?" Yang Ning asked.

"Doubt, I'm afraid, is inevitable." Burning Han said: "After all, the First Cloud Sword Sect has not been in the world for many years. ”

"Chuyun Sword Sect, Chuyun Sword Sect ......" Yang Ning kept silently chanting, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Brother Ding Yan, I remember that there seem to be many young disciples in Canglan Sect who are going to go to the army to train, do you say that if we are with them, will it be safer?" ”

"You have a point." Burning Han's face was overjoyed, but he soon became embarrassed and asked, "But the disciples of the Canglan Sect, where are we going to find them?" ”

"Well, that's a hard thing to do." Yang Ning was thoughtful.

Although this Baofeng City looks a little dilapidated, it is also one of the main cities of Yuci, covering a large area, and it is not a simple matter to find the disciples of the Canglan Sect.

"Looks like we need to find a way to lure them out." Burning Han said.

"Makes sense." Yang Ning nodded, agreeing with the statement of burning cold.

"Perhaps, we can use the identity of this Chuyun Sword Sect to make a fuss." Yang Ning was holding the token of the Chuyun Sword Sect in his hand, for this identity, he should be able to attract many people.

"Actually, with the status of the Canglan Sect in the Yuci Empire, we can also follow the vine and get in touch with them to a certain extent." Burning Han said.

"However, in this case, we may be in a passive ......" Yang Ning understood the meaning of what Burning Han said.

As the first sect of the Yuci Empire, the Canglan Sect must be respected by the world, so there is no doubt that they can be found, and with their identity as the Chuyun Sword Sect, it should not be difficult to enter the Yuci Army, but in terms of the situation, it will definitely be much more passive.

"But if we take the initiative, it's tantamount to walking on the tip of a knife and pushing us to the center of the situation......," Burning Han said worriedly.

After a simple analysis, Yang Ning said: "Yes, we will be much more dangerous in this way, but it will also be much faster, after all, we are in the dominant position." ”

"You know, we don't have much time...... Yang Ning finally added.

"Yes, Zhao Dongyan's army is less than fifty miles away from the Heavenly Trench Cliff, and our time is really running out...... "Burning Han sighed and said, "It seems that we can only do what you say." ”

"Okay, I'll do as I say." Yang Ning finally looked at Burning Han and said, "In this way, I will trouble you tonight......"

"Understood." Burning Han patted his chest and said, "You have to be ready, too." ”

Yang Ning nodded.

Burning Han got up: "So I went to ......" said the figure, and the figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
