Fu Canglu

Chapter 516 She Was Alone

The West Kansai barrier is wide open!

The sky above the city lord's mansion was thunderous, and the dark clouds were cleared away. Three long lines came out from the top, middle and bottom, and the iron cavalry stepped on the ground like a torrent.

Qing Jiaru will sit on the back of a horse, and the thin swordsman beside him is not riding a horse, but has a long breath, one hand gently rests on the side of Jiang Qingyi's horse's head, his feet keep trampling the ground, and his long hair keeps flowing ups and downs.

Ren Pingsheng has not long been promoted to the realm of master.

He has always had the habit of raising swords, and his sword spirit needs to be tempered.The so-called hard work is practiced every day, and even if he is on the road, he still half-closes his eyes, as if sleeping and waking up, and the sword box of Jiuhen behind his back rises and falls with his temples.

The speed of the three-way army marching towards the Western Regions is not fast.

At least Jiang Qingyi's central route is not fast, the three armies are separated by only a few miles, if anyone is ambushed first, he can retreat unscathed.

Both Dong Yun and Guo Youzhi are literary generals.

The three generals appointed by Jiang Qingyi went to the three-way long line, while Dong Yun and Guo Youzhi each carefully rode on their horses and followed Jiang Qingyi on both sides.

"This is the war horse of Xiguan. It is different from the one in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It has a strong temper. It needs to be handled carefully, otherwise it is easy to fall off the horse." Two people: "Both. It seems that you don't want to come with me?"

Dong Yun remained silent.

Guo Youzhi said in a low voice, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't."

"When a country is so big, military generals charge forward, kill the enemy and drink blood; scribes sit behind the scenes and give advice; each of them performs his own duties." Guo Youzhi narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "Master Jiang is a man with both civil and military skills. Why not, but Guo has no strength to restrain a chicken, if he goes to the battlefield and encounters a monster, he can only be buried here."

He paused, and said word by word: "Guo is not afraid of death, but if Guo died on the front line of the battlefield, it would be a waste of a good head of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Jiang Qingyi smiled.

If these words were placed two years ago, he really didn't know how to respond.

At this moment, he smiled, but he just smiled.

Dong Yun suddenly said: "After another three miles, you will leave the border of Xiguan, and you will arrive at the area of ​​the Western Regions covered by the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

There is a buffer area outside the west wall, just like the beacon tower.

Similar to the "terracotta" outside the Great Wall of Fengsui.

The children of the scout camp who escaped from the tiger's mouth in the Western Regions not long ago escaped back from this long line.

Jiang Qingyi's voice was not loud, but he could hear it clearly: "The brother of the scout camp who fled back at that time left the information after he came back, and was rushed to Misty Slope for treatment of his injuries."

"After that."

Jiang Qingyi's tone was dull: "In less than twelve hours, he died of exhaustion."

Guo Youzhi suddenly constricted his pupils.

He looked at the Governor of the West Barrier in some astonishment.

"It's a bit strange, isn't it?" Jiang Qingyi raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said thoughtfully: "He came back to Xiguan just to pass back this news, just like someone sent him back, just to pass back this news letter."

"So he did it, and he was able to escape smoothly from the snowfield hundreds of miles away."

"Even the Monster Race's "Shan Hai Jing" failed to save his life."

Jiang Qingyi narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "It is said that he was blessed and fateful, but after returning to Xiguan, he died on Misty Slope, but in the world... how can there be such a coincidence?"

Guo Youzhi pursed his lips.

He heard the Confucian general, who had obviously washed away his immature temperament in the flames of war, speak calmly and call his name.

"Guo Youzhi"

Trance.

"Do you think the owner of this name should be in the temples of the Northern Wei Dynasty, preferably in the imperial capital of Luoyang, where he is admired by thousands of people, and the clothes should at least have peacocks tattooed on them, preferably cranes." Jiang Qingyi said slowly: "And in this way, even if you have done your best, you can share your worries for His Majesty, govern the Northern Wei Dynasty, devote yourself to death, and die. In this way, this head can be regarded as a peaceful death, right?"

Guo Youzhi opened his mouth slightly.

He didn't know what to say.

He didn't deny it, it was true.

Who wouldn't like this?
He is not a hypocrite.

So he didn't shake his head, but said in a low voice, "Yes."

Jiang Qingyi smiled: "I thought so too."

Guo Youzhi was slightly taken aback.

"There are hundreds of thousands of miles of floating soil in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there are four major pass gorges."

"There are millions of soldiers!"

Jiang Qingyi asked indifferently: "Then if you have studied, you should go to Luoyang? If you have a sword, you should go to the border to die?"

Guo Youzhi shook his head.

This is not the reason.

"Listen up to Guo Youzhi, Dong Yun!"

Jiang Qingyi slowly raised his voice.

"I know you're not like everyone else."

"You have an extra thing called a brain."

"But you think war too well."

"When a city is surrounded, not only the soldiers, but even the elderly and women inside must raise their weapons, let alone scholars?"

"You think I'm unreasonable?"

"I just don't make sense."

"Where is the truth in this world?!"

"When you come to Xiguan, you must accept the principles of Xiguan"

This sentence rolled like thunder.

The whole army could hear it.

"My man from Xiguan must wear a sword no matter whether he is civil or military! He must go to war!"

"Life is life! Death is death!"

Jiang Qingyi's voice was cold, and then suddenly lowered to the point where only a few people could hear it.

"You two. Xiguan is at a time when there is a shortage of people. Now that you are here, don't even think about going back."

Guo Youzhi and Dong Yun looked dull, staring blankly at the young Qingjia Confucian general who changed his face quickly.

These roars have already stopped the two of them, and they are stunned.

Jiang Qingyi regained a gentle smile on his face.

"How can Xiguan be better than Xiguan in the days of Luoyang?" He said with a smile: "Xiguan has endless battles and merits, so it's settled. After a while, the two will separate and each lead a battalion. Practice."

Jiang Qingyi's speech speed did not slow down, and he continued to lower his voice, which was like telling a little secret.

"In Xiguan, if you want to convince the public, you can only do so."

He squinted his eyes, and the narrow and long eyes flowed, "One battalion has one thousand, a total of three thousand. This battle is too little to pursue, and it is almost dead. Since I dare to go out, I will not let Xiguan lose the camp."

Guo Youzhi suddenly realized.

The Qingjia Confucian general in front of him is really tight.

"Luoyang is waiting for my news, and Xiguan is the same." Jiang Qingyi said softly: "Xiguan can do anything, just can't stare."

"This trip, if we encounter a beast horde, we will retreat."

"If we don't meet the beast tide," Jiang Qingyi raised his eyebrows, "I have to figure out one thing."

Ren Pingsheng, who was gently supporting the side of the horse's head with one hand, stopped suddenly.

Frozen earth and yellow sand splashed away.

Jiang Qingyi suddenly raised an arm.

"stop"

Following Ren Pingsheng's stop and Jiang Qingyi's gesture of raising his arms, the entire army slowly stopped advancing.

Jiang Qingyi looked into the distance.

A long line separates them.

In the distance is a continuous snow field.

Western Regions.Yaozu.

Qing Jiaru will get off his horse.

"That scout escaped from the Western Regions from here, and was discovered by the guards of the Xiguan." Jiang Qingyi raised his eyebrows: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas in the Western Regions can isolate the breath of the monster race."

"There is one thing I can't figure out, and now I have to figure it out"

Jiang Qingyi's voice did not finish.

Dong Yun, who had been silent all this time, said softly, "How far is Bachi Mountain from here?"

Jiang Qingyi didn't raise his head, but lowered his body, picked up a handful of broken soil, and kneaded it carefully.

"Very far. Very far."

Jiang Qingyi's eyes wandered over the broken soil.

"If Xiguan wants to reach Bachi Mountain, it will take dozens of days just to advance with large troops."

Dong Yun hesitated for a moment, and said, "How much area can the Classic of Mountains and Seas cover?"

The young Qing Jiaru general frowned.

He shook his head, a little confused: "I don't know."

Ren Pingsheng explained: "It stands to reason that it should not be able to cover the border of Xiguan from Bachi Mountain."

Dong Yun lowered his brows and eyes, just like Jiang Qingyi, picked up some broken earth, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.

He frowned, but didn't notice the difference.

"Master Jiang, what are you doubting?" Guo Youzhi also squatted down, picked up the broken soil, and crushed it carefully, but found that there was no difference.

Jiang Qingyi glanced at Guo Youzhi: "You don't have cultivation, you can't smell evil spirits."

Ren Pingsheng took Jiang Qingyi's words, and said quietly: "Qingyi suspects that there is a big monster outside Chitu who has come and planted Gu in that scout's body. From the beginning to the end, that scout didn't leave a word, but only with Ban Ban Bloodstain wrote a long letter. The content of the letter is only a few words, '20 beasts are heading south'."

Guo Youzhi looked serious.

Ren Pingsheng continued: "But there is no trace of evil spirit overflowing here."

He looked into the distance, frowned, and said, "If we go further, with the Mountain and Sea Classics separating us, we should not be able to detect the evil spirit."

Jiang Qingyi hummed.

He looks into the distance.

Frowning.

"I suspect that the letter is a misleading one."

"It's true, the information in the letter is true."

"The 20 beast hordes in the Western Regions all went south to fight beacons."

Jiang Qingyi took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind.

He was a little confused.

Is all this really just a coincidence?

"Dong Yun."

"Guo Youzhi."

He said softly: "You have one battalion per person. Let's go back to the house and discuss it."

Three Battalions.

Jiang Qingyi watched the third battalion commander swarming like fish, and began to move slowly.

There is a string in his mind that doesn't fit.

Why is there no trace of evil spirit in the frontier line?
Wait, it's normal to have a faint evil spirit, so how could there be no trace of it left behind?

At this moment, the inspiration flashed.

There was a bang in my mind!
Jiang Qingyi suddenly opened his eyes.

Jiang Qingyi, who had figured everything out, realized that he woke up too late.

Ren Pingsheng beside him looked serious and let out a low drink.

"someone is coming."

The vast snowy land in the distance.

There is a fiery red figure, dragging the heavy snow all over the sky, stepping on the ground with bare feet, rumbling and dragging the heavy snow in the sky.

Come from afar.

Thousands of troops rushed to the west wall.

She is alone.
