The valley in the early morning was shrouded in a faint light.
The dewdrops on some leaf tips refracted the colorful luster. Lin Yi, who had taken a short rest, opened his eyes at this time.
A breeze blew from the other side of the cliff, making his face wet.
The night's trek had no impact on his physical strength. He walked with a heavy load and even felt that his strength was increasing, but his stomach was empty again.
He took some mountain water and slowly began to eat his marching rations.
He was waiting for an iron strategy army he had never met before.
The number of people is unknown.
The direction of the military order is unknown.
It is not even clear whether the Iron Ce army will arrive.
Since even practitioners in the realm of spiritual thoughts can die, then in this mountain forest, anyone can die.
…
What he didn't know was that in a forest less than fifty miles away from him, there were hundreds of soldiers and practitioners from the Northern Wei Dynasty staying.
There are several large flowering trees in this woodland. Although they are not spiritual flowers, they are blooming at this time. Not only are the petals on the trees overlapping, like clouds, but also a thick layer of petals has fallen on the ground.
.
Such beautiful scenery does not even exist in Jiankang City. It can only exist in the imagination and paintings of famous painters in Jiankang City.
The beautiful flower trees and petals on the pavement even diluted the chilling atmosphere of the hundreds of soldiers and practitioners of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
All these sergeants and practitioners are wearing black armor. These armors seem to be specially made and are very thin and soft, but the leather looks very tough, and some fatal parts are obviously lined with other materials.
The Northern Wei Dynasty did not seem to have much requirements for aesthetics. What they cared about most was practicality.
Even in the past few decades, the Northern Wei Dynasty had actually learned a lot from the South, including daily life, dressing habits, and even some etiquette.
However, this kind of learning was not recognized by the southern dynasty.
In the subconscious mind of the Southern Dynasties, even though the Northern Wei Dynasty was so powerful, most of the territories were dominated by nomadic and hunting tribes who only knew how to eat dried meat a hundred years ago. Their clothes seemed to be just random furs that were enough to keep them warm.
Pile on the body.
Especially in Jiankang City, which has experienced several dynasties of prosperity, those wealthy businessmen and dignitaries even have to arrange their food with exquisite plating and carvings. Even an ordinary cold-cut mutton needs to be marinated in several different ways.
In the eyes of these people, even the celebrities of the Northern Wei Dynasty were naturally barbarians.
Is it just true?
Those Jiankang scribes who got drunk in the warm afternoon and wrote and wrote may not have seen the real big city of the Northern Wei Dynasty, or the romance of the celebrities in the Northern Wei Dynasty, or even if they knew something about it, they were not willing to do so in their hearts.
I admit that these barbarians in the north have caught up with the south in many aspects.
The decorations on the armor of these hundreds of soldiers and practitioners of the Northern Wei Dynasty are very beautiful, and there are also layers of flowers.
Some parts are for enhanced firmness, while others are for breathability.
Between the petals, the heat and moisture in the nail will flow out when walking.
This kind of decoration is very practical and beautiful.
Even in the entire Southern Dynasties, there were very few light armors comparable to this, and those who could wear such armor were by no means ordinary soldiers and practitioners.
Among the people from the Northern Wei Dynasty who were sitting together in the forest to rest for a while, many of them had calm expressions, not showing any sign of fatigue, and even seemed calm and composed, not feeling the presence of danger at all.
It is unlikely that ordinary practitioners in Huangya Realm and Ming Palace Realm would have such a magnanimous attitude.
However, in the center surrounded by these soldiers and practitioners, there was a young girl sitting.
This girl was wearing the same black armor as them, but unlike everyone else, the others were all sitting on the floor, but she had a chair.
This chair is just an ordinary wooden chair, padded with soft animal skins, and is not tall, but in a place like this, it looks luxurious and even a bit ridiculous.
This girl seemed to be slightly older than Lin Yi, with picturesque features and very beautiful features. However, for some reason, she gave people a chilling feeling.
There was actually no obvious change in her expression.
And she sat comfortably on the chair without any uneasiness, it was natural.
She can hold it.
In the morning light, she was looking through a roster, very naturally, as if she were in the garden of her own home.
"Between Ni Yunshan and Li Moxiao, guess who I will choose next."
She suddenly raised her head and smiled, but her smile had a condescending and indifferent air. She smiled and asked a middle-aged man next to her.
This middle-aged man in black armor is completely in the attire of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even in the manner of the Northern Wei Dynasty. His hair is the same as that of some tribes in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is made into many braids with strips of cloth embroidered with scriptures in various colors, and then tied up.
together.
It's just that this middle-aged man has a handsome face, and he even shaves his beard. He has a bookish air. If he had changed into ordinary clothes, he would probably be thought of as a teacher of a certain college while walking in Jiankang City.
, or a teacher from some private school.
"Ni Yunshan or Li Moxiao, I guess you won't choose either one." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "I guess you will choose Chen Baowan."
"Sir, you really understand me."
The girl closed the roster and threw it to a sergeant beside her. However, she inexplicably restrained her smile and said coldly: "No matter how talented these two practitioners are, they are just geniuses. What matters here is luck."
And their ability to escape, even if they were put together, they can't compare to the rich daughter of the Chen family in the Southern Dynasties."
"Alive or dead?"
A black-armored general in front of her, who had always lowered his head, stood up and asked coldly.
"Of course she wants to live, but it's best to let others think she is dead. Only the Chen family knows she is still alive." The girl raised her head slightly and looked at the few crimson petals slowly falling down.
He said calmly.
"I humbly obey my orders." The black-armored general bowed solemnly.
When he saluted, half of the people stood up and saluted the girl at the same time.
"May the pastures of bravery and ancestors coexist with you forever."
The girl nodded in return and said lightly at the same time.
…
The two sergeants quietly entered Pingfeng Valley.
They were wearing green armor. This kind of green armor looked crude compared to the black armor of the Northern Wei people. It was just a standard armor, not particularly slim, and the materials used seemed a bit too much for this season.
Strong and thick.
So there was sweat on the foreheads of these two sergeants.
It's just that this kind of green armor is more practical than the black armor of the Northern Wei people in such a green place, and it can blend in with the surrounding environment. What's more, the two sergeants have deliberately tied some branches and leaves to their bodies.
.
When they stop and watch, they are really no different from a stray tree. Even if many people pass by them not far away, they may not be able to notice their existence.
"Are you Tiecejun?"
But just as they were quietly surveying the situation in the surrounding valley, a voice sounded softly not far from them.
The two sergeants turned pale and turned around as if they were seeing ghosts, only to see Lin Yi waving towards them, signaling them not to be nervous.
The two sergeants breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Yi's face and clothes clearly, but their minds were still filled with disbelief. They still didn't understand why Lin Yi could discover their existence so quickly.
One of the sergeants did not nod or shake his head, but just looked at Lin Yi, "Who are you?"
"Lin Yi was born in the sixth year of Nantianyuan Tianjian." Lin Yi looked at the two sergeants who were still vigilant and said: "Waiting for Tie Cejun here."
"Is there a command talisman?" It was the same sergeant who asked softly.
Lin Yi nodded, took out a triangular iron talisman from his carry-on bag and handed it to the two sergeants.
Both the attire and the accents of these two sergeants were very consistent with Tie Ce's identity, so he did not have much doubt about the two sergeants, otherwise he would not have come out to meet them directly.
"Where's the password?" The two sergeants just glanced at each other and then said.
"Password?" Lin Yi was stunned and frowned: "General Yan didn't tell me what the password was."
"That's right." The two sergeants breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. One of the sergeants took out a bamboo whistle and blew it, and the sound was a sweet bird song.
"It turns out to be a test." Lin Yi also reacted.
The sound of footsteps immediately came to his ears.
