Chapter 303: The King of the North

Pengcheng is thousands of miles, and the ambition is not in a corner.

The wings are ready, dare to cross the four seas.

The female madman in the Hanlin Academy, whether she really saw the strategy in the hands of the great strategist, don't care about it first. At this time, the matter must be put to a close for the time being. Because, there is another thing that is thousands of times more important than it, which is quietly happening in the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty...

It will be another fulcrum of the great changes in Datang in the near future.

Follow the birds and fly higher, continue north, and then go tens of millions of miles.

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of snow drifting, the wax statue of Yuanchi, the world is vast.

Thousands of miles of Xiongguan are dangerous, and hundreds of miles of wild pythons are lurking. The military town is the bone, the company camp is the scale, the hunting python banner flies with the wind and snow, and the forest wall is hundreds of miles away, guarding the north line!

No matter how heavy the wind and snow are, it can't hide the iron and blood here. No one doubts that the one who is silent under the snow will be a giant python that can devour the heavens and the earth at any time. Because, this is the first day of the Tang Dynasty, the North Pass!

"Smack. ”

The birds carrying the letter can't stand the cold of the Northland, and have been on the way for tens of millions of miles in the past, changing lanes or landing to slow down...

In the vast snow clouds, looking at it, there were only nine huge Peng birds left that were still flying above the nine heavens at this time. Peng bird spreads its wings, up and down nearly ten zhang, flapping its wings and flying quickly, a breath for several miles. On Peng's back stood a number of officials dressed in imperial robes, each carrying dozens of finely crafted mahogany boxes, as if they were sending something to someone. When they approached the forbidden area of Beipiguan Baili, the nine Peng birds all retracted their wings in tacit agreement and slowed down, lined up in front and back, and broke through the wind and snow clouds in an orderly manner.

"Who?"

"Squeak..."

The Peng Bird that landed was still some distance away from the Beipi Inner Pass, and the black-armored generals who were guarding the city tower had quickly put out the flag order and shouted loudly. With the order, several miles of city walls, stretching thousands of crossbowmen should be ordered to draw their bows, and a piercing string sounded, and the arrows pointed at the nine Dapeng birds that had come near.

"Papapa~"

Peng Bird has landed in an orderly manner...

Above the head bird, a black-robed official walked first.

Around forty, with a square face and short ears, a high nose bridge, and a literary rhyme in the eyes, it can be regarded as a dignified appearance. He straightened the snow from his shoulders and waist, and then took out a gold-lacquered token from his bosom and held it high towards the gate.

"This official is Yu Gong, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, who came to announce the decree by the edict of the Son of Heaven, and invited the governor of the northern part of the town. ”

Looking at the golden lacquer token from afar, the black-armored general on the city tower thought for a moment, and then whispered a few words to the deputy general beside him, as if arranging something. The adjutant nodded and hurriedly turned around and ran down the tower, mounted the big bird that was prepared downstairs and flapped its wings and flew into the city. After the deputy general left, the black-armored general Fang was looking back at the city pass, although his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't let the people under the pass do anything, and he also didn't let the thousands of crossbowmen on the city wall retract the full bow, which was quite rude.

Under the city gate, the black-robed official frowned slightly, and the displeasure was on his face. But he knew the key point here, and he had already heard of the soldiers in the north, so he didn't have any complaints at this time.

The snow is falling like rain.

The ice and snow in the north are different from those in the Central Plains, and the snow becomes ice when it falls, and even if you have a thick jacket, you will feel cold to the bone. Soon, less than half a quarter of the time, the snow that the black-robed official had cleared gradually covered his shoulders again, and just as he was about to remove the snow from his body again, the lieutenant general who had entered the city flew back from the marshal building in the city.

"Bang Bang..."

The big bird flapped its wings in the air and did not fall.

The lieutenant who stood on the back of the bird raised his fists and shouted: "The governor of the capital is invited, my lord, please ride the bird, and follow me into the city!"

After speaking, the deputy general turned the bird's head and led the way. The black-robed official under the closed door suddenly darkened his face, and his displeasure suddenly turned into anger.

He lifted it up and took it, and drank the word: "Wait!"

The lieutenant general of the mid-air imperial bird turned around and asked impatiently, "What's the matter with your lordship?"

Duan Su was angry, and the black-robed official raised his fists in both hands to the sky, and said in a righteous voice: "I am an official of the imperial court, and I came here with the edict of the Son of Heaven. If the governor cannot go out of the city, this is unreasonable, and it is also against the courtesy of the monarch and ministers. ”

The adjutant general laughed silently and contemptuously, and replied disapprerovingly: "My lord's words are serious, the weather in the north is cold, and the Metropolitan Governor has been suddenly infected with a cold wind and cold recently, and it is inconvenient to go out to welcome the Saint. Don't put on a show, just go with me. ”

“......”

The soldiers in the north are fierce, and they are really true.

I don't know whether the adjutant general's words are true or false, but the deputy general who guards the door dares to contradict a court official like this, I really don't know if he is ignorant, or if the master behind him is fearless. All in all, he made the black-robed official's fists so angry that both hands were clenched with green tendons, gritted his teeth, and raised his eyebrows angrily.

Dare to be angry and not say anything...

"What's the matter? My lord's shelf, why don't you have to wait for me to carry it?"

"Haha... The adults from Kyoto have big shelves, so I can't lift them. ”

"Hahaha... When this is his house, he still wants me to carry him into the city..."

"Hahaha..."

Seeing that the black-robed official did not move for a long time, the lieutenant general of the mid-air imperial bird thought that he was really putting on an official show, and then ridiculed and drank, and the officers on the city tower were very tacit, and they laughed and agreed.

"Humph!"

The black-robed official is really knowledgeable today.

On weekdays, when he worships an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can anyone dare to be so presumptuous to him? Not to mention that he is just a pawn?

Today, however, he is under the roof and has to bow his head. Moreover, the holy decree he brought by the emperor's order this time, as long as it is announced, it will allow him to bow his head to this big black python in the north pass...

Thinking of this, the black-robed official snorted angrily, not daring to complain anymore. Turning around, he strode back to the back of the Peng Bird, made a gesture of indignation, led the other eight Peng Birds behind, and spread his wings again and flew into the air. In the sky above the city tower, the deputy general of the royal bird saw the acquaintance of the officials, and no longer ridiculed, and made a gesture of padding his fist with his hand, and then led a group of Peng birds, and flew into the inner city of Beibi Pass one after another...

"Bang Bang..."

Ice and snow salsa, cold to the bone.

Drink and kill, a hundred miles of a piece.

The bird walks with the wind, looking down from high in the sky, and the Baili Xiongguan Pass.

Thousands of miles of company camps were covered in heavy snow, but their black outlines were still faintly visible. The camp tent is neat, the building is tight, one flag in one hundred steps, and one sentry in ten steps. A general platform is set up every few miles, four martial arts fields are set up next to each other, there are generals on the general platform, and the martial arts field is trained, and there are countless sergeants in array to drill and practice, and they fight each other with shields and swords. Bursts of drinking and killing, like a wave hitting the shore, wave after wave of unfinished waves, continuously, hitting this ice and snow. What's more, hundreds of people are a group, shirtless, holding sticks in the ice and snow, crawling and rolling, wrestling and fighting, and fighting a bloody snow and still not stopping. Or hold knives, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons, in the chiseled ice stream, full of energy, sink into the water, and break the ice to practice!

It gives people the feeling that these soldiers in the northern pass don't seem to feel the coldness at all, and they are extremely fierce! In just a few breaths, the anger in the hearts of the black-robed officials was completely consumed by the current scene.

The official meditated in his heart, everyone in the world said that the north was a fierce soldier, and today it seems that there is indeed a reason for his fierce soldier. If we had not been able to defend the land of heaven and earth, I am afraid that we would not even be able to survive the ice and snow in front of us, so how could we talk about defending the city and fighting a war? It is no wonder why the Taifu did not choose a few places in the world that were prosperous, but chose the frozen mountains and rivers in the north and further north as the foundation of the resurgence of the East Mountain.

That, it is simply a holy land for forging the world's first-rate lion and tiger warriors!

Twenty years of glacier sharpening the sword, its edge is bound to be sharp. If the Northern Tiger goes south in the future, in addition to the black python in front of him, looking at the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that even the most elite armies, Tiance Mansion and Cangyun Castle, etc., will not be able to be its soldiers...

"Bang Bang..."

"My lord, what are you thinking? Please take a seat and enter the hall..."

"Uh..."

I was fascinated by it, and I wanted to be fascinated.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred miles will pass.

Before the black-robed official's thoughts were clear, the group had already flown into the city from the city pass for nearly a hundred miles, and came to the gate of a heavily guarded palace.

This palace is not high, only one layer of dozens of zhang, but the momentum is very magnificent. The walls of black iron and steel bricks, the gray-brown solid wood is carved with python patterns for doors and windows, and the pitch-black temple tiles are stacked in pieces, and at first glance, the whole palace looks like a huge black python coiled up. The python head is the door of the house, and the python letter is the black iron plaque on the door, and the plaque is written with the scarlet three words of "Military God Temple".

"Uh, yes. ”

Coming back to his senses, the black-robed official neatly arranged his clothes and hats, and then respectfully took a bright yellow silk roll from the official behind him. This silk scroll is finely woven with gold wire, embroidered with three golden dragons, lifelike. The black-robed official held the silk roll in front of his chest with his hands upright. He walked down the Peng Bird, went up the steps against the temple door, and walked into the palace.

At this time, in the palace, there was already a person standing before the handsome case.

He is burly, in his fifties, with thick eyebrows and thick lips, and a big nose and high forehead. The tough face is like an ice sculpture containing wind and frost. His eyes are like torches, and he is not angry but mighty. Dressed in black steel armor, the armor is inlaid with gold silk waves. Black and gold belt, disc black dragon. The shoulder armor on both sides of the dragon claws is grasped, and the battle helmet has a black dragon with angry eyes, and he is dressed in the costume of a commander of ten thousand armies.

This person can only be the governor of Zhenbei and the son of the god of war - Hong Potian.

Looking at the black-robed official who was involved in the hall, he didn't make too many movements, just clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes were shining and calmly examining the past. The black-robed official walked into the main hall with a roll, and he also didn't make too many movements, raised his head with his chest up, and walked straight towards Hong Potian.

When he was nine steps away, the black-robed official stopped. Holding the bright yellow scroll in his hand, he stretched his voice, and preached: "The Son of Heaven's edict, the capital of Zhenbei Hong Potian, listen to the seal!"

"Da!"

Hong Potian clenched his fist with one hand to support the ground, and simply knelt down on one knee.

The black-robed official glanced at Hong Potian, who was kneeling on the ground, and then carefully spread out the scroll with both hands, and read it out loud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." The Black Python God Army, the brave champion of Kyushu, has defended the country for 20 years without fear of hardship. Refusing to be reckless in the country, sheltering the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, is indispensable, and loyalty is indispensable. Today, Hong Potian, the governor of the northern part of the town, was crowned as the king of Dongzhou Shenwu, rewarded nine tins, gave the sword of the Son of Heaven, and gave 1,734 counties of Dongzhou, in charge of the families of all ethnic groups, and was glorious for generations.
