The Sacred Ding

Yi Celestial Emperor 70 On the last day before the five-six-hundred year pass, a huge team of five-six hundred people slowly marched out of the city of Tieliuguan.

Outside the Wengcheng, there is a section of paved avenue. At this time, there is a thick layer of snow, and the ruts are rolling over, and the rumbling sounds, as if rolling on the human heart.

Tieliuguan is the last pass out of Hexi and the last pass out of Yanzhou, but the chariots driving out of Wengcheng in Tieliuguan, even if they step into a foreign land.

Dong Ning opened the window of the car, and the wind and snow poured in from the window, blowing her face like a cut, blowing her eyes and tears. Looking back, I saw the black Guancheng built in the narrow valley within the valley. It’s so cold, it’s so ruthless. Looking east, the rolling mountains are covered by snow, dozens of fortresses are separated from the difficult terrain, and the shadows are like a giant lock, which completely locks the Jinzhou brutal enemy in the iron stream. West of the Ridge.

And the hundreds of thousands of soldiers standing like a sculpture on the city’s head cast countless line of sight here, but in the tangled and complicated gaze, they are mixed with mercy, or An expression of anger, unwillingness, or resentment, but there is no trace of sympathy for her.

“The princess, Dong Duhu’s horse team has returned to Guancheng.”

Ranhu, Yun Qiwei, who escorted Dong Ningxi to marry, rode over and talked to Dong Ning through the window. speak.

Dong Ning is not very familiar with the clan uncle of the General Protector of the Tieliu camp. He only had the opportunity to meet his grandfather when he was young or when he grew up, but he did not remember what he had done before. He said that he was one of the few Dao Pill powerhouses of the Dong clan, and said that he was in the position of Dong clan and Hexi, only under the father Qin Muhou.

Is power really that important to men?

“Are we on the road now?” Ran Hu asked Dong Ning in a daze.

“Oh! Let’s go then.” Dong Ning complied, put down the curtain, and sat back in the warm compartment covered with brocade couches where the incense burner was steaming.

Listening to Dong Ningkong’s falling voice, Ran Hu felt uncomfortable in his heart, but the wind and snow were so heavy, if the chariots continued to delay before Tieliuguan, they would not be able to rush into the night. Before arriving 200 li away, the Yuguan fortified camp camped overnight.

In that case, such a heavy snowstorm camping directly in the wild, people can sleep in a tent, but the horses are afraid of frostbite.

The westward journey is long ten thousand li or so. It is still very tight to get married in West Qiang country by the Chaimu Lake in two months.

The marriage between Dong Ning and the young king of Xiqiang country can be arranged after the spring of the next year, when the ice and snow melt, spring and blossom, ten thousand li or so, it only takes one month to arrive. Western Qiang country, but Hexi is eager to form an alliance with Western Qiang country to relieve the threat from the west. It can’t even wait for half a year, but it has to rush in the coldest season of the year, rushing in ten thousand li, freezing and freezing cold. During the season, especially when he left his homeland to go west one day before the New Year’s Pass, Ran Hu felt chilled.

It’s just that as a son of the Ran clan, he is only Qiwei Yun in the Hexi Wuwei Army. There is no room for him to intervene in this matter.

“After Chen Hai handed over Juquanling, he left the book and resigned. It has been more than a month since he left Juquanling. No one knows his whereabouts. Young Lady, you say he Wouldn’t it come over suddenly and stop Young Lady from marrying to the Western Qiang country?”

At this time, Dong Ning’s personal waitress, Dong Xing’er, asked in a low voice from the carriage.

Ran Hu couldn’t help but prick up his ears, and he couldn’t calm his mind: Chen Hai suddenly handed Juquanling to the clans, and the Hexi side was like a calm lake being thrown away. A huge boulder came in and disturbed for a while, but the overwhelming majority were all accusing Chen Hai.

Ran Hu, who returned to Hexi from Yanjing at the beginning of the year, doesn’t know what Chen Hai thinks, but Chen Hai, as the dísciple of the Taiwei sect in Hexi, is fortunate that Hexi has long been deployed in Tongbei Prefecture. For the chess piece of Shichengling, he did not say that Juquanling was completely handed over to Hexi. In the end, he only shared Juquanling with the Miao clan of Northern Domain and Zhao clan of the Southern Domain. In this situation, it is no wonder that the overwhelming majority would accuse Chen Hai. Forget about the ancestors.

Ran Hu didn’t know why Dong Xing’er said Chen Hai would come over suddenly. He thought to himself, this bastard really wanted to run over and cut his way. He wanted to grab his collar and ask, why did he want Reject, why do you want to do such a jerk thing!

“Hey…” There was a heartbreaking sigh from the carriage at this time. Ran Hu felt uncomfortable when he heard it. He knew that the princess Dong Ning did not expect Chen Hai as a bastard to appear. .

Instead of being humiliated in public by others, and don’t want to hold a sharp blade to chopped up ten-thousand times by a thousand blades, even if it’s polite, how can you expect the other person to appear?

At this time, I saw Yehe, the military veteran of the Western Qiang State who was responsible for welcoming his family and escorting his horse, approaching him. It seemed that there was something to show the lord of Yuecheng, Ran Hu was lightly coughed to remind the lord Dong Ningji Myolie Dong doesn’t want to discuss Chen Hai anymore.

Dong Ning was rejected by Chen Hai in public, so Dong’s face was naturally dull, and it would not be a good thing to let the people of Xiqiang country listen to it. The West Qiang country was undue contempt.

Damn Chen Hai.

All of this was caused by Chen Hai. If Chen Hai hadn’t refused to marry him in public and Dong Ning would have no face to stay in Hexi, how could he offer to marry in the ghost place of Xiqiang?

The Dong family has many children, so you can pick a daughter to marry in the West Qiang country, why let the pearl of Taiwei Mountain be thrown into the dust in the bitter cold land of West Qiang?

Although Ran Hu was a general in Chen Hai and admired his ability to rule the military and soldiers, he was also annoyed that he was such a cold and ruthless person. Since then, he has been with Zhaoyang Pavilion The people in the Hou Mansion broke off friendship and stopped contacting each other.

“The West Gorge Corridor is more than ten thousand li long, with Wushaoling and Yujin Mountain at ten thousand zhang in the south, and the Gobi desert to the north. Although the Demonic beast in the depths of Wushaoling and Yujin Mountain It is extremely stubborn and terrifying, but the real threat to us is the few horse thieves that haunt the deep desert. Ran Hu must be prepared for the danger of this trip!” Xi Ye He, Wuwei, the capital of Qiang, was appointed by the monarch of Xiqiang to welcome his relatives in Hexi. At this time, he and the guards who were sent off by Ran Hu had only more than five hundred elite soldiers and horses.

Ordinary horse thieves in the depths of the desert, they naturally have nothing to worry about, but they benefited from the Celestial Emperor 20 years ago. They were injured in the Western Expedition, and the soldiers and horses in Hexi were forced to abandon the Xixia Corridor. Soldiers, retreating to Tie Liuling, on the north side of the ten thousand li Xixia promenade, deep in the desert, one after another horse thieves, occupying a few oasis deep in the desert, springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain come out.

Some of these horse thieves were the remnant forces that were wiped out during the Celestial Emperor’s West Expedition 20 years ago, and some were forces west of the Western Qiang Kingdom. They wanted to extend their hands to the east, but also to the west. Qiang glare like a tiger watching his prey ……

If the swordsmen of Hexi and Western Qiang were not sharp, these horse thieves would have to enter and occupy the promenade of Xixia, completely cutting off Hexi and Western Qiang. got engaged.

After listening to Ye He’s words, Ran Hu hummed slightly. If Hexi hadn’t been focusing on the east of Tieliuling in recent years, he devoted himself to managing the land of the three counties and the Xixia Corridor, where are these? Where is the horse thief raging?

Of course, although Ran Hu is a well-known figure in the younger generation generals in Hexi, he has the capital of proud and arrogant, but it is also true. He knows that this trip will not be particularly peaceful, after all All the forces hope to see Hexi and the West Qiang country join forces. I believe Helan Sword Sect and the Huang clan standing behind the Hexiang Army are one of them.

I also know that this trip will not be peaceful. Except for the more than 100 elites from the Western Qiang Kingdom, the other 400 horses are the most elite Daoya soldiers in Hexi, even if there are three or five. Thousands of horse thieves swarmed in, and Ran Hu was confident that he could tear these horse thieves to pieces.

Taiwei mountain range At the northwestern foot of the mountain range is Mazong Mountain, and to the west of the continuous mountains of Mazong Mountain, there is the endless golden state desert.

Yenjing is not at all Jinzhou’s detailed map. There are only a few cultivation travel notes that contain fairly detailed records and descriptions of the Jinzhou Desert.

From Wushaoling, Yujin Mountain, Black Mountain and other extremities to the north, the vast Gobi Desert, East, West, North, and South all have 780,000 li vertically and horizontally.

Only the southern edge of the desert where Wushaoling, Yujin Mountain, and Black Mountain are connected, because a large amount of extinct glacier meltwater flows down, forming countless lakes and oasis, which multiply hundreds of Qiangs There are also many vassal states that connect thousands of miles to the tribes, and the Western Qiang State is only one of them.

Continuing to the north, except for a small amount of rain, no large rivers extend in. The oasis in the depths of the long desert has drastically reduced both in scale and number, except for large horses or Apart from the remnant forces that failed in the Golden State’s struggle for hegemony, few real vassals or small states have appeared.

Continue to the north to the northern edge of the Golden State Desert. It is an area where the demon is quite active, and human traces are even rarer.

Between Xichang State and Tieliuguan, as it is close to the northern foot of Wushaoling, there are hundreds of streams and rivers dumping from the depths of Wushaoling. A series of large and small oases are formed in the long and narrow area of ​​three or four thousand miles.

This is also the main channel for Yanzhou to enter Jinzhou from Hexi to the west, and the world calls it the Xixia Corridor. Since history, whether it is the rise of Yanzhou and expansion to the west, or the joint movement of the Qiang tribes of Jinzhou, the Xixia Corridor has been a battleground for both sides.

However, as the two most important forces in the Xixia Corridor, Hexi and Xiqiang have failed in recent years due to various reasons such as internal trouble and outside aggression. It is not a pity to completely control the Xixia Corridor.

After Chen Hai left the Hexi, not at all walked the Xixia Corridor, and entered the west of Mazong Mountain directly into the boundless depths of the Golden State Desert.

But he also despised the formidable power of the vast Gobi Desert. After walking in the depths of the desert for more than ten days, he was also very sleepy. He was also spotted by a group of iron-backed sand wolves with hundreds of heads. .

Chen Hai was sitting behind a huge boulder that can shelter from the wind and snow, took out the meat and bite it twice, and swallowed it with the wine. At this time, several iron-backed sand wolves emerged from the wind and snow. The silhouette of Chen Hai is staring vigilantly, not approaching, not giving Chen Hai a chance to kill them, but not leaving. It seems that after Chen Hai is exhausted, the wolves behind Summon will surround him and eat Chen Hai. There must be no bones left.
