Nightfall

Weicheng is the hometown, the closer to Weicheng, the more timid the feeling

Looking at the Tucheng in the distance, and thinking about the years spent here, even if the indifference is indifferent, it will inevitably produce some emotions. His eyes crossed Weicheng and continued to look south, knowing that there would be It ’s Minshan, Hebei County over there, Chang’an City over there, Datang over there, and the Academy over there.

Over there is his and Sang Sang ’s home country, but he cannot return, cannot enter, or does not want to enter, because neither he nor Sang Sang wants to bring the thick cloud above his head into Datang, and bring disaster into Datang.

The black carriage stopped outside Weicheng for a period of time, and then set off again, going around the east, turning all the way, avoiding the seven fortresses, and constantly avoiding the patrol cavalry of Beidaying

The Zhengbei Army has been stationed in the frontier for many years, and is responsible for monitoring the powerful and ambitious Golden Horde King Court. It is well-trained and has played countless hard fields. Whether it is from the ordnance and military qualities, it is the four big border troops of Datang. The strongest army in the world is even stronger than Xiahou ’s tens of thousands of iron riders

Ning Que was once a member of the Northern Army. Of course, he knew what kind of difficult situation he would face if he was discovered by the patrol cavalry. He did not have the confidence to escape from the cavalry charge in the mountains and fields of Beidaying.

And he did n’t want to fight with the same robes at all, so he became extremely cautious and planned the route precisely according to the military map. He has been walking in the buffer zone between the control area of ​​the Tang Army and the Golden Account King ’s Court, relying on the wasteland and the North The familiarity of the military passed

As the escape continued, the two in the black carriage felt colder and colder, and the walls were covered with a shallow layer of frost again. This had nothing to do with the gradual freezing of Atami. Because Sang Sang's body is getting colder and colder, his breath is like ice cubes

And the black carriage has been going north

...

...

Minshan, which spans the entire northern continent, is divided into a north and a south by a narrow gorge. The Central Plains people used to call it the people at the northern foothills of Minshan and the southern foothills and some people in Daomen. They used to call the southern foothills Minshan , And the northern foothills are called Tianji Mountain, which means Haotian abandoned mountains.

At the west entrance of the narrow gorge that disconnected Minshan from there, there is a huge Qiqi township with a height of more than one hundred feet, named Helan. That narrow gorge is also known as Helanshan Que

The location of Helan City is already in the depths of the wasteland, very close to the Golden Horde, but it still belongs to Datang. It is the farthest piece of land in the Datang Empire. It is accurately described as an enclave.

The distance between this place and Chang'an City is more than a thousand miles long. If you want to transport the grain from the hometown of Datang, the road is far away and consumes a lot, and it requires a lot of cavalry escorts to avoid the threat of robbery by horse thieves or fake horse thieves. Wang Ting's tens of thousands of cavalry still have the ability to cut off this food channel at any time

Consuming so much resources and risking so much, the Datang Empire is still difficult and persistent to maintain the existence and normal operation of Helan City. This is not because the psychological ills of the Great Hi Gong from the top to the bottom are causing trouble, but because Helan City is very important for Datang

This majestic walled city in the far wilderness is the power and spiritual symbol of the Datang Empire in the wilderness. It is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty ’s merchants to conduct business in the wilderness. The most important thing is that this male town guards the only road leading to the eastern wilderness. The passage is extremely important to Datang business, and it is like a sharp and thick knife, inserted between Tianji Mountain and Minshan, and cutting the King of Gold Account and the King of Zuo Account. It has an extremely important strategy. significance

Looking at the towering city walls between the two cliffs in the distance, Sang Sang remembered Chang'an City, but the wall of Helan City was built between the steep cliffs, giving a visual impact and shock.

When the cold wind entered the window, she coughed twice and looked at Ning Que and asked, "Go north or east?"

Going north from here, following the deserted mountains, it will deepen into the wilderness. The cold area is sparsely populated. If you go further north, you can reach the Mozong Mountain Gate. If you continue to go north, few people have ever been there. Snowfield

If the place without people is the safe place, Ning Que should choose to take Sang Sang to the snowfield north. In that case, no one can find them except the grand priest of Xiling Temple or the monk of Xuankong Temple.

I do n’t know why, but Ning Que chose to continue eastward.

The further east you go, the closer you are to Helan City, and the nearer the mountain, the white head on the top of the mountain gradually becomes clear snow in the field of view, and the steep cliff gradually reveals its true content.

Dark clouds enveloped Helan City, white clouds were floating on the towering city wall, hundreds of Tang troops appeared on the city wall, and even the sound of the noose pulling and the crossbow buckling could be heard

There are thirty or forty heavy carriages under the wall, but for unknown reasons, the gates of Helan City are closed and the caravan is not allowed to enter. The atmosphere under the city is very tense

Ning Que glanced at the dark clouds above his head, naturally knowing why Helan City was closed, thinking in silence, it seems that it is impossible to achieve the goal of mixing into the caravan.

The wheels rumbling, but the battered land is still full of boulders. Under the Helan City, the deacons of the business group are shrinking in the carriage to avoid the cold, thinking about how to contact the generals in the city, hurrying into the city, listening to the sound of the wheels , Could not help but look back, when they saw the black carriage, the expression could not help changing suddenly

Through the decree of the Xiling Temple and the portrait annotations of the courts of various countries, this black carriage is now very famous. Everyone knows that the legendary Pluto daughter is on this carriage

Panic under Helan City

The shouts of merchants and guards came one after another. The long-distance tired horses were frightened and sizzled again and again. Someone saw the machine very quickly and ran to the Helan City, desperately patting the gate

The gate of Helan City is deeply wedged in the mountain and is made of iron and wood. It is very heavy and thick. The palm of the businessman falls on the gate, just like the wings of a mosquito fan on the stone, and can only make a very weak sound.

Even if officers and soldiers in the walled city heard this voice, it would be impossible to open the door at this time

When the dark clouds approached Helan City, Helan City closed the gates, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. What they were guarding against was the black carriage. How could the black carriage leave a chance to rush into the city

The black horse-drawn carriage passed by the consortium of caravans, and the scared riders repeatedly raised their reins, moved the carriage far away, and gave way to the black horse-drawn carriage. After the scene was a little chaotic, it was absolutely quiet, even deadly.

Ning Que ignored the merchants and guards who were facing the enemy. He drove the carriage to the front of the mountain, walked out to the gate, and looked up at the two gates like mountain peaks.

Above the city walls, the sound of the crossbow machine wriggling gradually subsided, and several defensive crossbows struggled to adjust the angle, aiming at Ning Que under the city. Hundreds of archer crossbowmen aimed at the black carriage farther away, ready to shoot at any time, even even Can hear the sound of burning oil and stone, Tang Jun in the city actually prepared him as a siege force

Faced with so many well-trained Tang army guarding the city, even if the cavalry and priests of the King of the Golden Horde came out of the nest, they would not be able to attack the city in a short time.

"I am Ning Que, I want to cross the city" he looked up and said

His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the head of the city and reached everyone ’s ears. Then he continued: "I used to be a member of the North Army, I have made countless military achievements, these are in the army You can find it in the Ministry ’s archives. I do n’t want to fight with you. I just want to use those military merits for one pass. "

...

...

Helan City is extremely important to the Datang Empire. The highest military chief is habitually called General Helan within the military, ranking second only to the four kings and the few old generals in Chang'an City.

This general, General He Lan, has a surname of Khan and has been stationed in the bitter cold city for more than ten years. This person has half of the barbarian blood, but he has won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and is so important.

Under the guard of more than ten shield players, General Han Qing came to the city wall and looked at Ning Que below: "Datang soldiers, shamelessly talk about taking the daughter of Pluto into the city for rewards.

"I am not going to the city, I am going to cross the city"

"This road doesn't work"

"Why doesn't it work?"

"As Tang Jiang, how can you bring this demon girl into my Datang City?"

"In the opinion of the general, my wife will bring disaster to the world, so don't let us live?"

"Good"

"The horse and carriage crossed the city and left Tang Dynasty. Even if it was a disaster, it would only bring disaster to others. What's the point? If you go to Donghuang, whether you are dead or alive, I accept my fate, but I don't want to be in my own country. Was killed by someone "

General Han Qing seemed to be touched by Ning Que's last sentence, silent

A lieutenant general said anxiously beside him: "General, what are you hesitating about? This person is so foolish that he dares to scold under the city, and quickly throws arrows and rocks, and seizes the opportunity to kill this person."

Another lieutenant frowned slightly and said, "Where is Ning Que so murderous?"

"No matter how powerful a practitioner is, it is impossible to kill"

"I said bad killing doesn't mean killing ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ but within the realm of Tang, no one wants to do it. Don't forget that he is Mr. Thirteen of the Academy. These days, watching the clouds coming, the military and Peking University are both Quite deadly, I did n’t search for this black carriage seriously, why? Just do n’t want to take this responsibility, do we have to bear it? ”

"Are you really ready for him to bring the daughter of Pluto into the city?"

"Of course it is not possible to enter the city, but this is the practice of the practitioners. If you want to kill them, wait for Tianshu and Nanmen to see people."

"The daughter of Pluto will destroy the whole world. This is not the practitioner's own business, but also the responsibility of all of us. As soldiers, how can we be so cowardly and retreat?"

"Don't be noisy"

General Han Qing shouted: "Whether it is killing or letting go, or blocking him outside Helan City, waiting for those practitioners to start, it is not something that Helan City can decide for itself."

"General, what are you going to do?"

"Of course your majesty"
