In the northern part of Longdan Mountain, the maple leaves turn red in autumn. There are many pavilions and waterside pavilions on the mountain. In addition, Shuangjiang Palace is located at Longxingkou. With the blessing of the emperor, this place has been a favorite place for literati and wealthy guests. Therefore, it is There are many roads and they are very smooth. There are many Xishan Mountains that can directly lead to Yuanhe Zongmen and Shuangjiang Palace.
Shen Lie stood on the edge of the cliff. There were several small villages at the foot of the mountain, as well as two Wangjiang Towers built a hundred years ago.
The Wangjiang Tower at the foot of Shen Lie was an addition when the Shuangjiang Palace was renovated. It was named Qitian Tower by the late Emperor Mingtai.
Looking down from a high place, Qitian Tower occupies a vast area and is divided into three courtyards by the building complex. The layout is exquisite and the corridors are clear. Twenty miles south of Qitian Tower, you will almost reach Shuangjiang Palace.
Du Xuan saw him when he was passing by, came over and said, "Young Master."
Shen Lie looked back and saw several kettles in his hand, and said, "A hundred steps to the west, there is a source of clean water. I have cut through the ice."
"Okay." Du Xuan nodded, but did not leave immediately. He turned his head and looked forward.
The river in front of me is wide open and frozen for thousands of miles. The view of heaven and earth is extremely vast. On the other side of the river is a vast expanse of silvery white. When winter turns to spring and the frost and snow melt, there will be vast fields and fertile fields.
"What a pleasure!" Du Xuan couldn't help but say.
Shen Lie smiled handsomely and said, "Yes."
"No wonder there are so many literati downstairs in Qitian coming to compose poems. Standing here, sharing the world, I feel really relaxed and relaxed!" Du Xuan said with a smile, "I really want to drink now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes saw a small group of cavalry, about twenty people, walking slowly on the long road in the distance.
"Li's Iron Cavalry." Du Xuan said.
"This is the third one," Shen Lie said, "The two have already passed."
Du Xuan sneered, "It's really awesome, Li's cavalry."
The night before was the first time they fought against Li's cavalry. If they hadn't struck preemptively and attacked first, and the opponent was seriously dispersed, they might not have been able to escape unscathed last night.
This army, which was even more absolutely obedient to the Li regime than the Xuanwu Army, was trained, supported and protected extremely well by the Li family.
The battle of Beiyuan over the years has brought down dozens of aristocratic families in Daqian, and not only the Dingguo Duke's mansion has been annihilated.
As the longevity monuments of the Chung Martyrs' Shrine were erected one after another, what fell behind them were armies made of blood and iron bones.
However, Li's cavalry was intact.
Equipped with the best combat equipment and the most sophisticated training and command system in the entire Daqian, these new batch of young warriors of the Li family's cavalry were wielding their butcher knives at the weak and unarmed refugees on the Guhuai Plain.
Now, they are riding powerful and strong horses, dressed in military uniforms, walking slowly on the road to Shuangjiang Palace, majestic and majestic. Such majesty is bestowed by the supreme ruler of Dagan.
"If this army can be sent to Beiyuan, I don't know how many barbarians can be killed." Du Xuan said.
"This army," Shen Lie said, "will become a nuisance to the world in the future."
"The world is in trouble?" Du Xuan said, after a pause, he nodded slightly, "I understand, the world has been torn apart, and Da Qian is gone."
But the Li family will never quit so willingly. They will definitely come back and compete for the world again. So this Li family's iron cavalry is the best sword of the Li family.
"Young Master," Du Xuan looked at Shen Lie, "The emperor's withdrawal from the capital may seem absurd, but in fact it is retreat in order to advance?"
Shen Lie said nothing, looking at the Li family's cavalry.
Du Xuan looked around and realized that the other party had stopped and was looking up at them.
Separated by the huge floating sky, the two sides were more than a hundred feet apart. In each other's eyes, they were both a little faint.
Du Xuan was stunned and said, "Will they come up?"
"Won't."
"We've been discovered."
"It doesn't matter," Shen Lie said, "the two teams that just passed by also noticed me."
Du Xuan "..."
"Then, what should we do? Everyone has discovered us. If we go there this time, our actions will definitely be unfavorable."
Shen Lie smiled, glanced at Du Xuan, and said, "We killed six people the night before yesterday, which is enough for them to be on guard. It doesn't matter whether they find us now or not."
"That's true," Du Xuan said, "that's the truth."
He shook the kettle in his hand and said, "I'm going to get water first to prevent it from freezing again."
"Um."
Those cavalrymen really didn't come up.
The leader of the team looked away, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and said, "Let's go."
A few soldiers looked up again as they passed by, only to see that the man on the distant mountain had no intention of avoiding it. He was still there, motionless.
"Ignore it," Dui Zheng said, "Let's go."
After all, it was impossible to reason about it. They were too far apart, and they were on top of a mountain hundreds of feet high.
Shen Lie watched them leave, his eyebrows slightly closed.
There is always a feeling in my heart that I will meet Li's cavalry again in the future.
The hot water and soup are cooked, and the dry food has been slightly heated against the pot. In addition, there are several portions of meat.
Dai Yu really wanted to divide his food into two portions, but Shen Lie stopped him and asked him to bring a new portion to the woman.
The woman thanked her profusely and devoured the food.
Shen Lie glanced at the child beside her and looked at Du Xuan, "Let's make some porridge."
Du Xuan paused and said, "Young Master, I don't even have much rice..."
"It's okay." Shen Lie said.
Du Xuan had no choice but to nod and get up to get the millet.
The woman's eyes were red, and she knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, noble man, thank you, noble man!"
Some meat was added to the rice porridge. Du Xuan considered that the child might have been hungry for a long time, so he didn't cook much and made it very thin to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.
Dai Yu watched from the side as the woman fed the baby spoonful by spoonful. The baby, who had been quiet all the way, probably had its mouth burned, and suddenly cried loudly.
The woman was so frightened that she put down the spoon and covered the child's mouth with her hand.
"Don't cry, don't cry!"
The child was still crying and howling.
In a hurry, the woman raised her hand and patted her mouth, "I told you not to cry!"
"Hey!" Dai Yu hurriedly reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Why are you beating her? What do children know?"
"Master..." Du Xuan looked at Shen Lie who was looking at the map.
The woman also looked at Shen Lie, very scared.
"We've already gone up the mountain," Shen Lie looked at the map and said, "The road from here to Yuanhe Sect is all mountainous, so there shouldn't be any pursuers."
"But it's better not to cry too loudly," Du Xuan said immediately, looking at the woman, "It's too noisy and makes your ears noisy."
"Yes, yes." The woman hugged the child tightly, raised her hand to pat her back, and whispered to comfort her.
Dai Yu was a little worried, so he came over and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you really going to be fine?"
"Well," Shen Lie nodded, paused, and raised his eyes to look at Dai Yu, "You don't have to feel embarrassed. Since I agreed to take her with me, I have nothing to worry about."
Dai Yu took a breath and said, "Well, then I'll pack my things so we can set off after we've rested."
"good."
