The winter of the empire was still as cold as ever, and the strong winds from the north suddenly roared from the sky.

Gyeonggi, 700 miles away.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast plain with no end in sight.

Blue sky, white clouds, give people a feeling of purity; The north wind and the flying snow give people a wide range of feelings. It is this vast universe, the wonderful nature, that alone bestows a preference on all things in heaven and earth.

The broad lines, up and down, like the beautiful patterns on the cheetah's body, are intermittently dotted on the field; The originally thick snow surface seemed to have been carefully swept at the moment, but there was still a slight residual snow, floating on the black stone walls on both sides.

I saw that on the hills in the distance, gray and white were intertwined, looking sparse and smart, full of visual beauty, depicting a desolate, magnificent, and extraordinarily breathtaking capitalized artistic conception.

The cold wind howled, and the sound of the wind was like ice blades, cutting the earth.

The clouds were dense, and the shadows of the clouds were like lead ingots, crushing the field.

The huge cold armor suddenly shattered, the snow water slowly flowed out along the cracks, and the land that had been dull for a long time was once again exposed to the cold air, and at this moment it was being swept by the cold wind, bearing the ruthless ravages from the sky.

Suddenly, a rugged mountain road appeared beyond the vast wasteland; Speaking of which, this abrupt mountain road is really steep to the extreme, the sharp cliffs and steep cliffs chiseled with axes, and the dangerous peaks towering, as if to penetrate the obstacles of the clouds, making people only feel daunting.

And the two sides of the cliff are deep ravines and ravines, exposing hideous rocks, hanging in the air and building according to the stones, looking down, it is actually an abyss of dozens of zhang, making people's legs weak, intuition a dizziness in front of them, a little careless, will fall to pieces, death has no place to bury; The stone walls distributed in the air, pressed on the back, are like the pavilions in the palace, as high as the whole mountain is about to collapse, aggressive; On the top of the towering mountain, the dense forests put a big felt hat on the steep cliff.

On the winding mountain road, the pines and cypresses are lush and green, the peaks and peaks are stacked, and the mountains are surrounded on three sides, leaving only a narrow pass, squeezing the space here smaller and smaller, at first glance, it seems that the heaven and the earth are embracing.

The wind is strong.

The hills are undulating, and the beautiful scenery of the mountains is not distinguishable at all, only the mountain rocks at the top are still standing still in the wind, which together outline the rounded lines and reflect countless dazzling white rays.

Under the reflection of the skylight, the stone walls of the mountains are glowing with a green jade-like luster, as if everything on this land is an uncarved piece of jade, whether it is a river, or flowers and plants, it is like growing in this huge jade, faintly flowing, and faintly visible dark lines.

……

It wasn't until dusk fell that the wind grew lighter. A blood-red sunset, already so bleak that it seems to be nothing, shining on the outline of the mountains and rivers, reflecting an imperfect red, making people feel lifeless.

The dusk in Gyeonggi is very different from the snow on Mount Genting. The remnant sun of the setting mountain, as if it had just been washed by the sea, is pure and beautiful, flashing with the unique softness and gentleness of winter, and in the gentleness, it is mixed with a bit of solemn and cold air.

"Shhhh

"Shhhh

At this moment, I heard two sharp neighs of horses on the stretching mountain road, resounding through the nine heavens, breaking through the silence of the mountains and ravines, startling a flock of perched jackdaws, and making an annoying noise; Immediately afterwards, the horses raised their hooves, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded "da-da", like the dragon war drums during the battle of the princess's tomb.

After a long silence, at such a moment, the sound of stirring the wind and clouds was born, which evolved from far and near, from light to heavy, and then from heavy to strong, gradually extending and spreading to the depths of the white clouds.

With the sudden rise of the sand, a thick cloud of smoke rose on the empty horizon in the distance, some pale blue, some yellow-brown, and some gray...... For a while, the wind and clouds changed color, from light to heavy, and from ethereal to majestic, as if they were using a god-given force to tear the oppressive canyon hard.

The stirring sound was the sound of horses' hooves in the sky. The iron hooves, as dense as a torrential rain, and as strong as a thunderbolt, until they are deafening and beating a gripping rhythm; It was as if at this moment, the earth was shaking, and the clouds were swirling, telling the many dusty pasts of this land in such a wild way.

Suddenly, I saw, one red and one purple, two tall and majestic horses, driving thousands of miles of wind, stimulating the most domineering speed in their lives, on this steep mountain road, indulged in wild running, has bypassed several mountain passes, through the cliffs; The traces of the horse's stepping on the snow turned into two bright sword lights, rolling up a veil-like mist, piercing the silence of the deep winter and stepping out of the momentum of thousands of troops.

Two horses, a "peach blossom horse" and a "sa dew purple", are all unique horses in the world, especially the "sa dew purple", galloping between heaven and earth, snow-white four hooves, stepping on the dusty sand and gravel ground, there is no sound, as if walking through the depths of the white clouds, and just like a leap, soaring into the air.

The neighing of the dragon horse, riding in the dust, carrying the demeanor of a heroic sword, and the spirit of a heroic battle; And the owners of these two horses are naturally those two unborn heroic commanders who have amazed the whole world.

Immediately after the peach blossoms, it was Xiao Yingxue in black clothes, and on the purple dew, it was Xiao Changling in white. thinks that back then, he once crossed the northern frontier of the town, and she once swung a sword to set the west; Now, he is the king of Jingbei who commands 400,000 iron horsemen, and she is already a northwest female marshal with an army of 300,000.

At this moment, this pair of sisters and brothers, who are famous in the world, are riding side by side, riding one in front of the other, shuttling at the end of the endless mountains; The afterglow of the setting sun is projected straight down, reflecting the vigorous backs of the Xiao family sisters and brothers, who are galloping with their backs to the sunset.

In terms of riding, this sister and brother are comparable, although Xiao Yingxue is a woman, she can use her thin body to control the peach blossom horse just right, as skillful as flowing water; Compared with the eldest sister, Xiao Changling's riding skills can better show the Qin king's long-term battle formation, galloping on the battlefield's heroism, because of his young army, he rode on a horse, which can always reflect his tenacity and strength as a commander, and with a white dress to win the snow, it will more and more set off the awe-inspiring majesty of the lord of Jingbei Iron Cavalry.

Because of this, the two have not been separated by a large distance.

"Ahu, you're riding too slowly!" Xiao Yingxue tugged on the reins, and while riding a horse, she turned to look at the second brother behind her and smiled at him teasingly.

Xiao Changling, who was alone on a horse, rode his own "Sa Lu Zi", flicked the reins with his left hand, held the horsewhip with his right hand, and "Chengying" was hidden deep in the sheath, staring at the invincible eldest sister in front of him, and said with a faint smile. "Sister, you have to be careful, I won't let you."

"If you have the ability, you can catch up with me first."

After that, the eldest princess clamped the horse's belly, and the whole person rode forward.

At the same time, seeing Xiao Changling's angular and resolute face, I don't know when, a very strange peace was revealed; He looked at the eldest sister who was in the lead, and the brilliance of the sharp sword blade flashed in his eyes, and at this moment, he seemed to have returned to the battlefield of the Jin Ge Iron Horse.

However, he was not in a hurry. When Xiao Yingxue led the horse and was about ten steps ahead of him, Xiao Changling suddenly lowered his upper body and took a deep breath; With a long neighing of an angry horse, Salu Zi jumped high, and suddenly burst out with the power of piercing the clouds and cracking stones.

Xiao Changling rushed out alone.

The cold wind blew head-on, blowing the black cloak behind Xiao Changling, crackling. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Changling, the king of Qin, who had just been thrown away, was already half a horse's head ahead of Xiao Yingxue at this time; When Xiao Changling rode past the eldest princess, he turned his head slightly, and the corner of his eyes looked at the eldest sister's heroic cheeks, and smiled, showing off a little bit of show off in his smile.

Seeing that she was overtaken by Xiao Changling, although Xiao Yingxue was slightly shocked, her face was still calm without waves, she raised her horsewhip and jerked it fiercely on the horse's buttocks, and the peach blossom horse roared, and chased straight after Xiao Changling; But it was too late, and in a moment, Xiao Yingxue, who had just gained the upper hand, had already been thrown out five steps away by the white clothes in front of her.

"Sister, what's the matter, I'm not kidding you, am I?!" Xiao Changling looked back, and the whole person laughed heartily, and the look of laughter and scolding seemed to be back to the young man in the past.

"Stinky boy, don't be complacent!" Xiao Yingxue glanced at him, and scolded angrily.

Xiao Changling grabbed the horse and galloped.

Xiao Yingxue also flicked the reins to follow.

As the sun sets, the two siblings, who are four years apart, chase me on the winding cliff of the road, showing their superb equestrian skills.

Looking back at the past, the Great Zhou Dynasty generals were like clouds, with countless tiger and wolf divisions, and also gave birth to famous generals such as Li Yunchao, the king of Zhongshan, and Liang Shiyan, the king of Kaiping, but those who can combine outstanding military exploits and peerless demeanor, in addition to the eldest princess of Pingyang, who is a generation of genius women, there is only Xiao Changling, the king of Qin who is always dressed in white!

After a while, Xiao Changling and Xiao Yingxue, two of them, rode through the rugged mountain road and set foot on the fertile soil of the Gyeonggi Plain.

Jingbei, the "Xiao" word Wang Banner, hunting and rolling in the wind.

In the north, behind the two commanders in the west, on the endless plain, a 200-cavalry heavy-armored "Tiefutu", plus a 300-strong Ganzhou battalion light cavalry, a full 500 iron cavalry, is advancing forward with a Ling Ran momentum, like a rolling iron stream......

The cold murderous aura and battle intent shrouded this reckless plain.

……

At dusk, the north wind howled.

At the foot of Genting Mountain.

On the wide, flat Le Plain, the water of the meandering river has already formed a thick layer of ice due to the cold weather, which is dozens of miles long, and the ice is also dozens of miles long, encompassing the entire plain.

The still river, in this place designated as the camp of the Tiefutu, was forcibly squeezed out of a crack by a row of bare poplar trees along the shore, and gradually shrank into a shallow bay; On both sides of this narrow bay, densely packed, countless spacious tents have been set up, and at a glance, it looks like a natural black castle, standing on the other side of the glacier,—— here is the camp place of the 3,000 Iron Floating Tu.

At the moment, the Guanhe River is shining on the township at dusk, and the remnant sun is like blood on the horizon.

The station of Tiefutu under the mountain, is located in the west of the Le Plain, adjacent to the undulating Yunding Mountain, there is a big river in the middle, the Jinji Ridge where the camp is located, the terrain is dangerous, the gorge is twenty miles long, the cliffs are towering all around, the gorge road has been roundabout to the north, and the enemy towers on both sides are inlaid together.

On the slopes on both sides of the main camp, there are countless stone piers, and there are dense troops and defense facilities. Above the Guan Tower, the pair of eyes lurking behind the arrow stacks, gradually revealing countless fierce eyes, are staring at the vast northern frontier thousands of miles away with a fierce gaze.

In the distance, there is a mountain that is neither high nor low, and across the wide river, it can just be seen from the Tiefutu camp under the mountain; If you stand there, overlooking the huge barracks, the neat and orderly barracks and the staggered big tents form a picture with the style of the side, as if people are in it, unable to extricate themselves.

At this moment, the world is silent, Xiao Changling and Xiao Yingxue, sisters and brothers, dressed in white and black, riding on horseback and standing on the mountain, facing the biting north wind, letting the hair on the cheeks be blown messy by the wind; As commanders, they left their backs after the bloody battles to the twilight of the sunken, but they cast their resolute eyes on the vast land.

Sister and brother riding horses.

Mountains and rivers are lonely into my arms.

In front of them, there is a majestic military camp, standing in the center of the world, showing a majestic outline shaped like a mountain of thousands of miles, and the cold wind blows in, sweeping through every corner of the stretching military tent. This silhouette is the upright posture of the Iron Floating Warrior; This wind is the surging roar of the Tiefu Tu warriors.

At this moment, the man in white who was sitting on horseback, a faint smile appeared on his elegant appearance, and his cold expression was as high and profound as the Nine Thousand Mountains, as if he could not find the slightest discomfort from the face that was like a crown of jade; He first glanced at the eldest princess beside him, then leaned down, stroked his beloved horse, and then raised his head slightly, his eyes were calm.

Immediately, Xiao Changling held the reins, gently raised the whip, pointed at it from afar, and swept the tip of the whip across the camp; That fixed gaze slowly closed from the horizon and locked in the large military camp tent that stretched for dozens of miles in the distance.

Xiao Changling opened his mouth in a deep voice, and in his thick tone, there was a sonorous sound of Jin Ge's intersection.

"Sister, this is my camp in Tiefutu, how about it?"

"You're going to set up the camp here?!" Xiao Yingxue's face was cold.

Perhaps, he heard the disdain in his sister's words, but Xiao Changling was not angry, but subconsciously raised his sword eyebrows, and saw that there was a thick smile on that handsome face; He raised his right arm, pointed into the distance with his horsewhip, and drew a few circles in the air, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, dressed in white, seemed to be in the bloody Shura field at this moment, and ordered troops on the battlefield in a chic manner.

"I think it's good here. You see, surrounded by mountains in the north, Yongping echoes in the south, and it can be attacked and defended when it retreats, and it is a good place to use soldiers; What's more, it's safe here, it's far away from the capital, if I put my people in the capital, believe it or not, the imperial history in the court doesn't know how to join me in front of that person. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yingxue turned her head slightly, sat on the horse, just whispered "oh", and then cast a mysterious gaze at the man in white beside her.

"It's been a long time, you turned out to be playing this little abacus."

This time, Xiao Changling smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Xiao Changling raised his head proudly and looked deeply at the dim twilight on the horizon; Then, he turned to face the eldest princess and asked in a deep voice. "Sister, how many soldiers and horses did you bring with you to Beijing this time?"

"Didn't you ask knowingly! I brought 2,000 people this time, all of them were light cavalry from the Ganzhou battalion, didn't you see them all that day? Xiao Yingxue glanced at him.

"Two Thousand ......"

Xiao Changling put down the horsewhip and gently pressed the black sword hilt of the "Chengying", and the two elegant sword eyebrows gradually condensed into a line of coldness, just like the blade of the long sword in the general's hand, entangled with the murderous aura of the soul devourer.

"Then you don't have as much as I do. Sister, don't think your brother is verbose. Let me remind you, if you are recalled to Beijing this time, it should be our Majesty's plan to invite the king into the urn, if this is the case, then you should be careful. ”

Hearing Xiao Changling's words, Xiao Yingxue immediately frowned slightly, and her expression became faintly uneasy, "What are you talking about!" I entered Beijing this time to sweep the tomb of my father, how can it be so evil as you say?! Ah Gou, are you a little bit of a villain's belly? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Changling remained silent, raised his eyes slightly, and there was a chill in his eyes; The moment he stared at it, two sharp gazes like swords pierced straight out along the eyes of the white-clothed god of war, as if they were about to pierce the treacherous haze with a sword.

Xiao Changling's cold gaze swept across the mountains in the distance, swept through the huge military camp, and swept across the sky for thousands of miles; Wherever the eye can see, although it has not reached the extremely cold snow mountain, you can still feel the bleak cold that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and a cold sneer immediately oozes from the corner of your mouth.

"Gentleman? He Xiao Changyao is a gentleman?! Sister, you're too naïve. Over the years, my Jingbei Army, your Zhenxi Army, has always been his confidant, others don't know him, I know too well, he dreams of taking back the military power from us; Sister, I might as well tell you that so far, I don't know how many chess pieces he has arranged in the Jingbei Army, and I estimate that your Zhenxi Army is also indispensable to his handwriting. ”

The depressing atmosphere and heart-piercing words made Xiao Yingxue silent for a while, she looked at his younger brother with an unbelievable look, she didn't expect that even after so many years, the hatred in Ah Xuan's heart still hasn't diminished in the slightest, and the knot in his heart has still not been untied; But after all, she is the commander in charge of an army of 300,000, and more than ten years of iron-blooded killing have made her forge a cold and hard heart comparable to that of a man; Soon, Xiao Yingxue came back to her senses, immediately changed the topic, and asked with a little majesty in her identity and tone as a sister.

"Ah Pu, how did I hear that you killed all the thirty Imperial City Divisions outside your mansion not long ago, is there such a thing?"

"It is true." Xiao Changling nodded, as if this had never happened, his eyes were so cold, and his tone was so indifferent.

"You're too daring!"

Hearing this, Xiao Changling's eyes suddenly became hazy, and the past Jin Ge Iron Horse, the eventful years, was like a huge picture scroll, unfolding little by little in front of him; Countless Jingbei men, riding horses into battle, swaying to kill the enemy, they shed all their blood and paid for their lives in order to defend the Great Zhou Dynasty, but behind them, only hundreds of nameless and nameless tombs were left.

"I just want to tell him that Xiao Changyao, the Jingbei Army, is my Xiao Changling's Jingbei Army, no one should think about fighting it, if he really has the ability, he can take back my military power; If you don't have it, then don't be delusional. ”

"But have you thought about it, after all, he is the emperor of the Great Zhou, and life and death are all in his hands; He can tolerate you once and endure you twice, but if one day, he thinks that you will threaten his throne and threaten the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou, will he continue to be indifferent? Sister is afraid, your brother will really not have a little room at that time......" Xiao Yingxue said, the gloom on her face became heavier and heavier, and she only felt as if her throat was blocked by something, so she couldn't say any more.

At this time, I saw that the green tendons on Xiao Changling's forehead suddenly bounced violently, and the two black and white eyes, as if spewing scorching flames, melted into a raging volcano in just a short moment, as if it was about to erupt at any time.

"Sister, don't forget, I still have hundreds of thousands of horses. If you force me Xiao Changling to be anxious, my hands are black, and I can do anything; When the time comes, I will slaughter all the men and women, old and young, in this palace, and I will have no one left! ”

The bone-chilling air enveloped the entire gray sky at this moment.

……

When he landed, the sky suddenly darkened, and countless mournful and mournful geese chirped, and the twilight along the sunset fell faintly; A group of broken geese and lonely birds, like clusters of black clouds, swept through the twilight and heavy mist, swept like a bloody sun, leaving a shallow trace.

Fei Hong stepped on the slush.

Looking at the flock of geese returning to the south, Xiao Changling looked up to the sky and laughed, and a lot of pride arose; He let go of the hilt of his sword, and immediately took up his iron bow and drew his arrow. The wind howled, raising his fluttering white clothes, making his inky black long drae, flying like ocean waves, looking extremely dazzling.

Xiao Changling held a longbow in his hand, a wolf's tooth carved arrow, tightly fastened on the string, and the cold arrow was aimed at the group of southern flying geese in the air.

"Whew!"

With a loud sound, sharp arrows burst out of the air, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, as if it could easily break the gate of heaven and shoot through the universe violently.

The long arrow pierced the sky, and the lone goose at the head of the row fell in response.

The bleak sky finally faded to the last touch of the sunset, and the dark and dreary night descended on this sacred land, silent, without breath.
