Eight months later.

As the sun sets, it is as red as blood.

Xie Zhaozheng was eating under the northwest wind on the head of the city.

Unexpectedly, the half of the dirty nest in his hand had just bitten and before he could finish gnawing it, the messenger trotted away, shouting as he ran:

"—Chitose! Report! ”

Xie Zhao immediately took three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls, and stuffed the half of the nest head that was cold, stiff, and so hard that it could almost smash a person to death, and forced it into his throat.

She chewed and swallowed at the same time, and she didn't even drink saliva, she was really a ruthless person.

"What?"

The messenger replied loudly: "Chitose, the half of the city wall that was damaged by the outer wall of the northern city has been repaired by the soldiers who have stayed up all night to repair the loess. ”

Xie Zhao's voice was a little hoarse.

"Thank you."

After speaking, she muttered to herself again:

However, the wall that has just been repaired and filled is not very useful under the 'Weilong Cannon' of the Northern Dynasty."

He stood on the city wall for a day, and when there was a fight, everyone spoke by roaring.

Today's Xie Zhao's internal strength is not strong, and standing on the city wall to speak naturally depends on the vocal cords, rather than the internal force of the abdominal cavity, so it is strange that his voice is not dumb.

At such a close distance, the messenger naturally heard her words, and he hesitated:

"Chitose, General Zhou just said that I'm afraid this wall won't be able to dry up tomorrow!

If the people of the Northern Dynasty take advantage of this opportunity and push their artillery to hit Na Laoshizi, I am afraid that our newly repaired city wall will be in danger again. ”

Eight months ago, the people of the North were only testing the reality of their border with the South Korea.

Be more cautious between actions, and don't dare to cross the thunder pool too much.

They attacked the Tianchen Dynasty from the bottom of their heads on the basis of the unwarranted ridiculousness of the "profiteers" of the Southern Dynasty Tianchen who relied on the strange goods in their hands and wantonly collected money in the Northern Dynasty, and forced the Southern Dynasty Tianchen to completely open up trade.

He also made an impudent request that the eight imperial merchants in the Huainan region of Tianchen must transport the goods to the Northern Dynasty at the same price as in the Southern Dynasties.

You know, businessmen are in making profits.

The cost of transporting goods from south to north is extremely high, and most of the valuable and precious items are damaged and worn on the road.

Therefore, the merchants of the Southern Dynasties took great pains and manpower, bore the customs duties, and at the same time took countless risks, and the prices of the goods transported to the Northern Dynasties with great difficulty could not be the same as those sold locally in the Southern Dynasties!

The Northern Dynasty Han Yong clearly knew that it was impossible for the Southern Dynasty Tianchen to lose his power and humiliate the country to agree to such an unreasonable demand, otherwise it would chill his subjects, but he still insisted on this request, which was obviously deliberate.

Sure enough, after the Tianchen Temple of the Southern Dynasty officially gave feedback and rejected the request of Handyong of the Northern Dynasty, a vigorous north-south battle that had been absent for more than ten years began tentatively again.

At the beginning of this war, the offensive of the Northern Dynasties was relatively conservative.

Nanchao Tianchen Langya Pass has been operated by Xunyang Xie for hundreds of years, and has long been self-contained, solid, and has been at the peak in the early stage.

In addition, the eldest princess of Tianchen came to the border to boost morale, and Peng Xiao of Langya Pass slept at night and actively prepared for the war, so the situation in Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty was very good for a long time.

Even in the Southern Dynasties, temples and people, most people felt that this battle would not really be fought.

Although the eldest princess of Tianchen came to Langya Pass, she did not personally participate in the war and did not go to the battlefield.

Therefore, the peerless masters of the Southern Dynasties did not participate in this secular dispute between countries in the strict sense.

The "Chitose Sword Immortal" only defended the city to boost morale, and the "Shentai Priest" stuck to the Zhaoge Shentai Palace, so the "Sword Immortal Mound" of the Northern Dynasty was naturally always unmoving.

Of course, although all people with brains know it, just looking at the most cheerful jumping of the Yuwen Department in this war, you know that nine times out of ten it is the Yuwen Ministry, the head of the 36 departments of Handyong, who is secretly dominant.

Fortunately, Yu Wenxin, the son of Prince Xing of the Yuwen Department, "Lone Wolf Sword Immortal", has been hiding his merits and fame and has not openly joined the battle.

But it makes sense.

- Because for thousands of years, the peerless masters of the world have long been reluctant to disturb the secular order, which is a common rule between these top masters of martial arts in the rivers and lakes.

A thousand years ago, there was a shocking tragedy.

The peerless master of a certain dynasty was ordered by the emperor to take the life of the enemy son of heaven in the inner courtyard of the deep palace; Later, the enemy dynasty avenged the shame, and actually used a martial arts secret book collected by the royal family for several generations to invite another peerless master to take action, and then killed the emperor and queen of the dynasty, and avenged the son of heaven in his country.

The two great powers were fighting because of this, and both of them were young emperors, and the lord was suspicious.

Later, after decades of continuous warfare between the two sides, the national strength became thinner and thinner, and both of them declined.

and then to the back, the heroes competed for the deer, so this led to the rise of the Tianchen Fu clan of the Southern Dynasty and the Hanyong Tuoba clan of the Northern Dynasty.

Therefore, since then, both the secular royal family and the peerless masters of martial arts themselves have understood that it is not beneficial for peerless masters to be too involved in everything.

Moreover, for most martial arts people, too much involvement in worldly things will only tarnish the Dao Heart Sword Heart and make the Martial Dao realm stagnate.

- Except, of course, Xie Zhao, who has been a rare person with exquisite bodhichitta for hundreds of years.

Therefore, most of the existence of peerless masters in each country only serves as a deterrent and warns other countries not to act with malicious intentions.

But if it is a peerless master who takes a salary from the bottom of the kettle and really kills the emperors of other countries by force and violence, it is almost none.

Not only because the ending of the two great dynasties of the previous dynasty is the best lesson from the past; What's more, once a peerless master takes the lead in breaking the balance between countries and martial arts, then morality will inevitably be lost.

On the one hand, he was criticized by other martial arts masters, and on the other hand, he had no grievances and no hatred, and he bullied him with martial arts, which also lost the dignity of a martial arts master.

So it is reasonable, no matter what the "Lone Wolf Sword Immortal" Yuwen thinks in confidence, he will not openly participate in the war, at most he will just turn the clouds and rain behind the scenes.

Because of this, in this confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the peerless masters of both sides actually did not really join the war, and the initial friction on the border between the two countries was only a small fight.

However, it was not until six months ago that it was said that a humble sword slave beside Yuwenyi, the second junior of the Yuwen Ministry, actually found an ancient scroll in the depths of the Arro grassland by chance!

In that ancient scroll, there is a detailed record of the production method of an ancient machine expansion artillery!

Since then, the Northern Dynasty has been like a tiger with wings, and its wolf ambitions have not been concealed much!

Not only did the offensive become more and more fierce, but the "Weilong Cannon" two days ago actually broke through half of the outer wall of the northern city of Langya Pass!

This has never happened in 10 years!
