126 countries will break people to make money
The weather was also sunny, the snow on the mountains outside the city was slowly melting in the sun, and the official road had been crushed by the horse-drawn carriage with the middle finger because of the army's heavy baggage, mixed with the newly melted ice water, and the whole ground was muddy.
Under the sun, Mo Yan and Xue Buyu walked on the side of the road, talking and laughing while rushing to the imperial capital Mantian City.
The majestic and tall city wall has been highlighted in the clear cold wind, like the most brilliant and dazzling pearl on the territory of the green dragon, inlaid in the vast and rich Yingzhou.
Behind the Barbarian Heavenly City, near the distant horizon, is the hazy Ziping Mountain, which flickered in the blue mist at the end of the sky.
There were very few people on the road, and occasionally there were old people holding their children and driving ox carts to the south, and they did not dare to speak loudly.
The young and thin child blinked in black and white, and his big watery eyes looked curiously at the chivalrous warriors and outsiders walking on the side of the road.
These people were dressed in a variety of ways, and many of them were dressed in strange costumes and decorations.
They lowered their heads and walked in a hurry, with only one goal, that is, to respond to the call of the Empire, all the people are soldiers, and rush to the Barbarian City as soon as possible to resist the frozen army.
Two months ago, a sudden snowstorm swept through the entire northern territory of the Blue Dragon Empire, dyeing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with a thick layer of makeup, making it even more lonely and boundless.
This wind and snow blocked the lifeblood of the flow of people in the Blue Dragon Empire, but it also blocked the unstoppable iron cavalry of the Frozen Empire.
After Ziping Mountain, more than 1,000 miles to the north, there is a frozen empire with a cold climate and ice and snow for most of the year.
Logically, the people of the Frozen Empire have long since adapted to the cold weather of their country.
Living in the cold and snow in the north all year round, they felt that the cold winter of the Blue Dragon Empire was just a bleak late autumn, and many people even wore thin autumn clothes and cold armor on the outside.
It's just that where the two countries intersect, there is a vast and boundless, endless stream of secluded mountains, the peaks are as oblique as a sword, and the cliffs are separated from the sky, which is very sinister!
In the meantime, the mountain wind is howling and treacherous, the winding path, the rugged and uneven, the dangerous road in the snowy mountain is slippery, and the transportation of baggage is extremely difficult.
The Frozen Emperor ordered all legions to stand by and attack after the snow cleared.
The Heng Navy, which had broken into the territory of Qinglong, was stationed more than 80 miles north of Ziping Mountain, and confronted the Xianglong Army guarding Ziping Mountain.
In the past few days, Bai Fengqi, the commander of the Henghai Navy, has been quite anxious.
Last year, the army overwhelmed the Qinglong, and the soldiers were invincible.
However, suddenly a heavy snow closed the mountain, the transportation was weak, and the grain and grass could not be sufficiently supplied, so he wanted to retreat back to China, but was blocked by the mountain, and was in a dilemma for a while.
The supply of grain and grass was insufficient, so the Emperor of the Lucky Empire borrowed the way from the Flame Empire and traveled nearly 10,000 miles to continuously transport heavy grain and grass from the Western Flame Empire.
It is also a shame that the sons and daughters are not afraid of death, and they go forward one after another, and the Long Xiang army is beaten into a shrunken turtle, hiding under Ziping Mountain and refusing to fight.
Otherwise, if they make a surprise to cut off the supply of grain and grass, these hundreds of thousands of troops may starve to death in the Blue Dragon Empire.
In recent days, the officers and soldiers who have been delivering food have said that a large number of people in the rivers and lakes in China and some lawless people who know how to do strange arts, under the edict of the state, have secretly infiltrated the Qinglong Empire from the Flame Empire in large numbers to practice the art of the left door and the left way.
I don't know exactly what to do, it's certainly not a glorious thing!
Bai Fengqi was a little disdainful of this, and some gangsters and warlocks on the rivers and lakes wanted to get a piece of the pie in the environment of the national war, and they really didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
But now, he can't enter the army, and there is no credit to be gained, which makes him bored all day.
Although the Long Xiang Army is known as the head of the four major legions of the Qinglong Empire, since the commander of the flying general Ma Yan disappeared inexplicably, the senior generals have been replaced by the henchmen of the prime minister Yu Yi and the protector general Jia Zhong.
These mouths are full of righteousness, and they are full of flowers, and their mouths are full of lotus flowers, as if they can sacrifice their lives for the sake of the country, regardless of life and death.
But when they start fighting, they all run faster than rabbits.
If it weren't for Long Xiangjun, he was trained into a proud soldier in the hands of Ma Yan, all of them were as fierce as wolves.
It was often the army that absconded without a general, and the captain of the team led the soldiers to fight bloodily to defend the only remaining dignity and pride.
The current commander, Long Mengze, is the queen of the imperial generals, and the family has been inherited for more than 500 years.
That day, the emperor feasted his ministers, and for some reason he took a fancy to him.
After getting drunk, he saw that he was majestic and majestic, and his face was majestic, so he hastily ordered him to be the commander of the Longxiang Army, and the fierce battle between all parties for the commander of the Longxiang Army came to an inexplicable end.
Although Long Mengze is young, he has real talent and learning, and he is full of pearls, but there are few powerful generals around him, and he is beaten and retreated.
Fortunately, he commanded well, and although he was defeated, he kept a large number of soldiers.
Now there is still the strength to fight with the Heng Navy.
The two brothers approached the Barbarian Heavenly City, but they saw that outside the walls like copper walls, the displaced people who had fled from all directions, and the large grass huts and shacks built were lying horizontally, like rich and noble people wearing silk and satin, accompanied by groups of ragged beggars, strange and pathetic.
When the two of them walked to the grass hut, they smelled the stench from a distance, and the filth was uncleaned, turning the beautiful snow scene into a filthy pigsty.
Xue Buyu frowned, covering his nose with a white shirt, trying to block the disgusting fishy breath, but the stench in the air was overwhelming and pervasive, and the two of them really couldn't stand it, and their spiritual power worked to block the smell, so they took a long breath.
The snow is not cold, the snow is cold, the cold is like a knife in the homeless area, men, women, the elderly, children, all frozen faces are pale, seeing the two of them dressed thickly, looking at the two of them are full of envy and longing.
Hunger, cold, the threat of the enemy, the gangsters among the homeless, the lack of food, all kinds of diseases, threaten the honest and poor people all the time.
They could have taken refuge in the south, which was far from the battlefield and at least safe for now.
These poor and stubborn people, who deeply love this rotten empire, have an almost fanatical worship of the Barbarian Heavenly City.
This is the imperial capital of their vast country, their spiritual belief, and the last dependence of their souls.
Therefore, hundreds of thousands of people from the county capital near the Barbarian Sky City wanted to enter the Barbarian Sky City to seek protection, but they were cruelly rejected by the rulers of the empire.
They had no choice but to build a place for themselves to live outside the city, praying that they would escape the disaster by taking refuge in the impregnable city when the enemy came.
Xue Buyu couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed, he couldn't bear to look at the miserable and miserable purgatory on earth.
The huge iron gates in the east, west, and north were tightly closed, and soldiers with guns and knives stood on the high head of the city, and every 100 meters, several archers stood guard in the air.
In addition to the Empire's unique bald eagle to transmit information, other birds with no long eyes were mercilessly shot by the archers once they entered the attack range, which effectively prevented the transmission of enemy messages.
The south gate was open, guarded by a team of well-armored guards, scrutinizing everyone entering the city.
Mo Yan shook his head, looking at the long queue of people who handed a large piece of silver to the gatekeeper one by one, before Shi Shiran entered the city, and couldn't help but feel angry.
Turning his head to look at the junior brother with the blue tendons on his forehead, he sighed secretly, when is it? These people are still in the mood to collect money here, and they have the life to take the things that they don't have to spend.
By the time the line reached two, it was already dusk.
As the sun sets, the sunset on the horizon changes and colors are varied, and the orange-yellow sunlight shines on the earth through the clouds, dyeing the earth like a fairyland in a dream.
If you don't have those grass huts!
The leader of the captain had a few bright tail feathers stuck in his helmet, golden armor on his body, and a cloak with white stripes on a yellow background on his back.
The young man was in his twenties, very tall, and with this equipment, he was like a god, and he was mighty and majestic.
It's a pity that he crooked his face, looked at the two of them disdainfully, didn't ask where he came from, didn't check the road guide, snorted heavily in his nose, and stretched out a big fan-like hand in front of the two.
Xue Buyu looked at this white hand, white and tender like a woman's hand, skimming the long sword hanging from the young man's waist, and secretly doubted in his heart whether this hand could swing the long sword to slash and kill the enemy.
Mo Yan took out two fine silver ingots from his pocket and gently placed them in the young man's hand.
The hand sank slightly, the young man's superior face changed, he was a little curious, looked down at the material of the silver ingot, weighed the weight, suddenly smiled, looked at Mo Yi and said: "Uncle, seeing that you two are really not very well dressed, it turns out that you are also a generous person." What's the matter with coming to Heavenly City?"
The young man laughed quite beautifully, but Mo Yan didn't like it in his heart.
He arched his hand expressionlessly, approached the young man and said, "I have a relative who lives in the city, and I have come to visit him?"
"Relative, what's your name, and where do you live?" the young man frowned, his face became serious, and his two big eyes were dripping in his sockets.
Mo Yan smiled, didn't speak, and secretly stuffed two large pieces of silver ingots, just looking into the man's eyes, his face full of worry.
The young officer felt that his hands were heavy and weighty, nodded with satisfaction, smiled at the two, beckoned to the back, opened a way, and let the two into the city.
Xue Buyu's face was very bad, his mood was a little heavy, and he was more angry!
Garrisoning the gates of the city is such an important thing that requires not only sight, but also force.
The young man was gorgeously dressed and brightly armoured, and he looked good.
But those who know know that the armor on his body looks good, but it is actually very thin, not to mention blocking the sword, if you press it hard, the surface will be concave.
The white and tender hands looked like a rich kid who had never practiced martial arts.
I don't know which family's son-in-law is idle, come here to experience life, and don't forget to make a windfall.
Xue Buyu even wanted to leave here, he wanted to tell his senior brother that this empire had been eroded from the inside out, and there was no cure!
Let's go back to the mountains! What does this shameful empire do? Let him fend for himself!
But when he thought of the homeless people and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people outside the city, he suppressed the anger in his heart again, followed his senior brother silently, and walked aimlessly on the wide bluestone pavement.
Mo looked at the bustling street market, the bluestone pavement where sixteen carriages could go side by side, and the faces of pedestrians were full of sorrow and fear, and they came and went in a hurry!
There are many shops on both sides of the market, and a splendid banner is hung in front of each house to attract customers.
The two of them were bored and had no time to appreciate the magnificent buildings of the capital, so they found a Hongyun Inn and rested for the time being.
After sunset, Xue Buyu stood in front of the window and looked at the lights on the street, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
The national disaster, his relatives, and his teachers were revealed page by page like a picture in his mind, and he remembered all kinds of past pasts, and his heart was full of thoughts, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.
