Chapter six hundred and twenty sixth wind and frost
"Bang!"
A delicate jade cup was smashed to the ground and exploded.
"This Lin Yi is simply acting recklessly. He even dared to rob my people before, but I didn't even have time to settle the score with him. I didn't expect that now he would even dare to rob King Linchuan's people!"
The person who smashed this exquisite jade cup was a man in fine clothes who was not angry and proud.
There is a dragon pattern on this man's clothes, but it is not a real dragon, but a hornless dragon on his head.
In the Southern Dynasties, those who could wear such dragon-patterned clothes were also true princes.
This person is Shen Kun's senior brother, Xiao Jinyu, the king of Nanhuang.
Although Xiao Jinyu, the king of Nanhuang, also had the surname Xiao, he happened to have the imperial surname. He actually had no blood relationship with Xiao Yan and Xiao Hong, not even distant relatives.
In many notebooks of the Southern Dynasties, he even has the title of Prince Yeomi.
The reason is that when Xiao Yan raised his army, Xiao Jinyu was the official in charge of the granary in Nanguang County. He was originally worried about the grain that had been stored in the granary for many years and was about to go moldy. However, the Liangzhou army happened to be short of food at that time. As a result, Xiao Jinyu was like He made a great contribution to the Liangzhou army by giving him timely help.
This is of course good luck.
But no matter how he became a prince, a prince is a prince. Over the past six or seven years, Xiao Jinyu is no longer the grain official he was. He has also recruited countless capable people and strangers into his palace.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
At this time, there were seven staff gathered in front of him. One of them, a tall and thin man who looked like a master, looked at the broken jade on the ground, frowned, and said: "Lin Yi is in great power at this time, and Lin Wangbei is returning to Jian. Kang, he will definitely try to rein in his old subordinates along the way. Although Lin Yi is hateful, it will be of no use to the prince if there is a head-on confrontation and both the jade and the stone will be destroyed. What's more, now that he and the Chen family are close, Chen Baxian has already recruited people to speak for him. , and the frontier generals like Wei Rui also deliberately tried to win over him."
"Of course I know this, but Shen Kun is in his army. I must get Shen Kun." Xiao Jinyu said with a sullen face and a cold voice, "You should also think that after the battle of Zhongli, since Shen Kun was exposed, In Lin Yi's heart, I am naturally his enemy. I am afraid that if I don't deal with him in the future, he will deal with me."
"This boy is able to subdue even Wei Guanxing. Watching him do what he does, he is really a bold man."
An old man in black robe nodded and laughed, "But Your Majesty, we don't need to take action to deal with him."
When the old man said these words, the eyes of the other staff members flashed and they reacted instantly. However, Xiao Jinyu was still angry at this time, but he was too lazy to think about it. He just looked at him and said: "Mr. Qi, please elaborate. "
"We knew before that Shen Kun was the leader of the private salt dealers, and we spent a lot of effort tracking his traces. This man is very cunning. We wasted several years before, but it was not nothing. At least we also have party items. Many acquaintances."
The old man known as Mr. Qi smiled and said: "Now he is the general of Zhenxi, and everyone knows that he will not settle at the border, and will definitely join the Dangxiang. The first people to deal with him are the Dangxiang people. "
"oh?"
Xiao Jinyu reacted immediately, the gloom on his face disappeared, and he smiled, "Yes, as long as we try to reveal his whereabouts to the party members from time to time, there is no need for us to deal with him."
Seeing that these staff members were all smiling and silent, he became serious and continued: "But... remember to make sure those party members know that Shen Kun, I want to live. It doesn't matter if my hands and feet are cut off, or my cultivation is abolished. But he cannot die, and all the things on him must be brought back to me."
…
The river was flowing quietly, and an old pine tree covered the sky like an umbrella.
Lin Yi and his party took a break under this old pine tree.
The mountains not far away are all white.
Occasionally something shiny floated in the mountain breeze. Lin Yi stretched out his hand, and a piece of shiny stuff fell on his palm and quickly turned into water.
This is wind frost, ice mixed in the wind, coming from those glaciers in the distance.
Very strange.
The air here is not too cold, and even because of the high altitude, the skin is still a little burning and sore after being exposed to the sun for a long time. However, the wind blowing from high altitude brings the ice and snow from far away.
"This is a local microclimate. There are glaciers at a certain height, and the temperature difference between day and night is astonishing. Not all of Dangxiang is covered with ice and snow. There are no people living in that kind of high mountain and bitter cold zone. Dangxiang's densely populated cities are all
In some low valley areas where the cold wind on the glaciers does not flow through, in many places it is like spring all year round. But the most important thing to note about this microclimate is that the temperature does not change slowly like Jiankang, but changes continuously.
As the days pass by, some places may still be warm, but a moment later, it may be so cold that dripping water turns to ice.”
Fei Xu looked at Lin Yi. Although he knew that Lin Yi was not brave or foolhardy, he still felt a little uneasy when he saw that Lin Yi did not mention any armaments along the way, fearing that Lin Yi was too proud and careless.
In his opinion, if these natural obstacles were not too difficult to overcome, countries like Dangxiang would have been conquered by the southern dynasties a few dynasties ago.
But the more the once glorious dynasties failed to conquer Dangxiang, the more it proves that bad weather is the biggest killer of the army.
"Don't worry, you will know tomorrow."
Lin Yi knew what Fei Xu was worried about, so he couldn't help but smile, but his eyes fell on the ancestral snake at the back.
After trekking for more than ten days, they had passed through Ailao Mountain and entered the Beiyin Plain.
The Beiyin Plain is located in Tuyuhun, where Dangxiang and the three dynasties of the Southern Dynasties meet. Although it is the territory of the Southern Dynasties, there are only a small number of nomads flowing around. There have never been large naturally formed towns. In order to guard against the sudden invasion of Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, the Southern Dynasties only
Two border cities were established in the Beiyin Plain, one was called Jiangyou City and the other was called Furukawa City.
In addition to the thousands of rotating border troops in each of these two cities, there are also some scattered Wuren cities around them, inhabited by soldiers and civilians who have been exiled here, and many of them are family members of exiled sergeants.
.
Most of these exiled sergeants committed crimes in the army and were punished to such a remote border town. If they were unable to provide sufficient benefits during the journey, they often died on the way to exile. When they got here, they were almost
If you are left to fend for yourself, there is no chance of returning to your place of origin.
This kind of border town has little resistance to the invasion of Dangxiang and Tuyuhun. At most, it can serve as an early warning.
However, Tuyuhun and Dangxiang also knew very well that these border towns and Wuren City had little potential. Previously, even though Dangxiang was about to make a move and a large army entered the Beiyin Plain, he did not attack any of the border towns.
According to the marching route of Tiece Army, Tiece Army will march towards Furuchuan City and meet them at Xinxu outside Furuchuan City.
Xinxu was also a Wuren city before. However, in the early years of Tianjian in the Southern Dynasties, it was no longer self-sufficient due to the declining population. All the people in the city moved to the nearby Xining City. At this time, although there were still city walls and houses remaining, there were only tourists.
Herdsmen only occasionally pass by when they are grazing.
This ancestral snake has been following him, and the longer it follows him, it seems to be more and more understanding and smarter of some of his words and gestures, and the injuries in its body seem to have been completely healed. Along the way, it reaches
There is definitely no problem at the Dangxiang border, but I don't know if it can cross those severe cold areas.
Fei Xu had been holding back all the way, and only gave an insidious reminder when he got here. But looking at Lin Yi's expression, he immediately understood that Lin Yi had been prepared, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself and said: "It seems that it's me.
Worry too much."
…
Desolation is the eternal melody on the Beiyin Plain. Although there are abundant vegetation, it is boundless as far as the eye can see. There is not even a trace of cattle and horses, and the sky seems desolate.
Qi Zhuji and everyone in the Tie Ce Army had just entered the Beiyin Plain.
Compared to Lin Yi and others who headed directly through Ailao Mountain towards Furuchuan City, they were slightly slower.
Yuning River is one of the largest rivers on the Beiyin Plain. Its water source comes from the melted snow of glaciers in Dangxiang. The milky white river water flows all year round.
There are many dandelions growing on the tidal flats on both sides of the river.
Different from the dandelions in the fields outside Jiankang City, the dandelions here are as tall as reeds.
As they marched, they only had to fluff their bodies a little, and the big puffs of white catkins would drift in the wind, spread and fly into the distance.
They don't need to deliberately avoid densely populated areas like Lin Yi who brought the ancestral snake. What's more, after leaving Ningzhou, it becomes increasingly sparsely populated, and the so-called official road is only a slightly wider dirt road.
.
They followed the official path.
Just looking at the rushing river in front of her, Qi Zhuji frowned.
There are many chopped vine ropes on several thick wooden piles.
The broken edge of the rattan rope looks new.
On the march map, of course there is a bridge here.
Although it is only a vine bridge, it is strong enough to allow even the carriages of caravans transporting heavy goods to pass.
But it was obvious that the vine bridge had been deliberately destroyed before their arrival.
"It's been peaceful along the way, but it doesn't look like it'll be peaceful forever."
Qi Zhuji arrived in front of Chen Jinru's carriage and smiled sarcastically, "When we reach a deserted place, some people can't help it anymore."
"Let go of smoke."
Chen Jinru whispered three words in an unusually simple voice.
Qi Zhuji and Wei Guanxing, who was nearby, looked at each other, nodded each other, and neither spoke.
Several streaks of smoke quickly rose up along the Yuning River and rushed high into the sky.
With Taoist Yuan here, even if Lin Yi is not here, no one in the world can destroy their Tiece Army here. However, the planned recruitment of the Tiece Army has been completed. If the other party does not want to eliminate the Tiece Army at all, but just
If you want to kill some of them, it will have a great impact on the Tie Ce Army.
The most important thing is that there is a batch of armaments on the way. If someone deliberately harasses them, delays them, and seizes the opportunity to seize the armaments, it will be even more troublesome.
