The Suwei Army is stationed in the middle of this grassland.
Behind this grassland there are twelve border towns of the Great Qin Dynasty. Compared to the size of Yinshan Mountain, these twelve border towns are as small as twelve pearls scattered in the grassland.
The border town closest to this grassland and the farthest from Yinshan Mountain is called Shanglao City.
This city was originally the outermost border city of the Great Qin Dynasty, and it was built by prisoners sent here in the past.
At sunrise, a tall man appeared above the gate tower of Shangprio City.
He was wearing a bronze-colored armor, but he couldn't see any patterns, because the armor was covered with various sword marks.
The density of these deep and shallow sword marks, new or old, is like dandelion flowers blooming on the surface of the armor.
Especially under the sunlight, some metal sections continuously shone with golden light, as if there were strips of cold electricity swimming inside.
Some sword marks are several inches deep, but they are still not penetrated, which only shows that the thickness of this armor has reached an astonishing level.
The most important thing is that these sword marks are too dense. Under the pressure of these sword marks, the metal texture of the armor itself seems to have changed, and some crystalline light even appeared in the metal.
This tall man also had a big face, which looked rougher than the men in Guanzhong. On his back were two long knives interlaced instead of swords.
The scabbard is made of leather, it is simply sewn, and even the long hair on it has not receded. It should look like wolf skin on the grassland.
The handle of the knife is light yellow, with some moist purple red, not like metal, but like some kind of jade.
The man's pupils are also like gems, shining with a natural blue luster, as pure as the sky on the grassland.
Looking at the grassland in front of him from a distance, he knew that the guard army would not be able to arrive at the border town until at least this afternoon.
He came here because of the young man who was in the guard army, but he knew very well that his battle would end before that young man arrived.
A morning wind blows.
The wind came from Yinshan Mountain, carrying a chilly air, adding some sense of chill out of thin air.
The wind brought the smell of cattle and sheep dung in the distance, and the withered grass blades surged like waves in the ocean.
The man standing on the top of the city gate narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smear of blue appeared from among the withered and yellow grass leaves.
Shao Renren, who was wearing the sapphire robe of the Minshan Sword Sect, stepped on the dry grass, and slowly walked towards the gate tower along the road formed by the trampling of galloping horses on weekdays.
…
In the center of the prison city, there is a large open space.
This open space was originally used to execute prisoners, but at this time, there were countless people kneeling, most of them women and children.
There was only one handsome man standing.
This man seemed to be afraid of the cold, he was wearing a white fox fur coat, but this coat was covered with dust, as well as the yellowishness that could not be washed away by the long-distance trek.
At his waist was a long sword.
There are many luxurious gems inlaid on the hilt.
These gemstones are carved in the shape of skulls.
The handsome man raised his head slowly in the wind with the smell of cow and sheep dung, and then casually glanced at the women and children kneeling in front of him.
At this moment, at the other end of the square, there appeared a man with a very ordinary face, who was easily forgotten even standing in the crowd.
It's just that this man was also wearing a sapphire-colored robe.
The man in the white fox fur coat smiled faintly, and said, "It is said that Ren Tu regards human life as worthless, but I didn't expect this trick to work for you too?"
"Who can truly regard human life as nothing?"
Geng Ren looked at the man, and said without any particular emotion, "But you, Yelu Canglang, the third prince of Donghu, who is very important to the whole Wuzhi, took the risk to appear here, after all, do you regard other people's lives as worthless? Or do you regard your own life as worthless?"
Yelu Canglang restrained his smile, and naturally showed a trace of coldness, "I am the most important person in the Wuzhi army, so naturally I must appear in the most important place. Is there anything better than preventing people from the Minshan Sword Sect from entering?" Are there more important things on the battlefield?"
After a pause, he looked at Geng Ren and laughed at himself, and then said: "If people from the Minshan Sword Sect don't appear on the battlefield, so what if I die here?"
Geng Ren looked at him and said something that only the two of them could understand at this time, "If you decide to do this, we may become the prey of others and all die here."
"So I didn't kill these people, but I want to leave some conditions for talking with you. You just want to escort that disciple who is very important to your Minshan Sword Sect to Donghu, and I can let him reach Donghu safely. Yelu Canglang smiled faintly as he spoke, "We can even go to the Donghu border with you, but the condition is that we must leave together. The condition is that any practitioners of your Minshan Sword Sect will not enter again. We are Wuzhi country."
Geng Ren pondered for a moment, then said: "We also don't want to enter Wuzhi Kingdom."
Yelu Canglang took a deep breath and said, "I understand how you Minshan Sword Sect feel, so I think it is possible to talk to you."
Geng Ren looked into his eyes and said, "Without our protection, he will be very dangerous in Donghu."
Yelu Canglang also looked into his eyes and said, "Ling Shan and I have arrived here, if we fight to the death today, he will be even more dangerous, even your Minshan Sword Sect will be very dangerous."
After a pause, Yelu Canglang then said slowly: "And he went to Donghu, I can assure you that none of us Wuzhi will deal with him."
Geng Ren said slowly: "Are you so assured that he is on the Donghu border?"
"That's the matter of Donghu and Chu." Yelu Canglang sarcastically said: "If even a five-realm practitioner who has lost the protection of the Minshan Sword Sect can change everything there, then Donghu and Chu themselves can't treat us. The war with Daqin will cause any impact."
Geng Ren thought about it.
Yelu Canglang glanced at him and said, "You probably don't have much time to make a decision, because I didn't expect you to attach so much importance to this young man that even Shao Murderer came here."
Geng Ren knew what he meant very well. In a few tens of breaths, either the strongest general of the Wu Clan on the top of the city would kill Shao Murder, or Shao Killer would kill the other party. It's just that anyone who survived on either side would be afraid. Not easy.
He didn't hesitate any more, nodded very simply and normally, and said, "You guys go to Donghu with us, and then come back."
Yelu Canglang smiled slightly.
He let out a clear whistle.
At this time, Shao Killer had already arrived in front of the city gate.
The man in armor on the city gate tower had already grasped the handle of the knife with both hands, but when he heard such a clear howling sound, he shook his head with some regret, and said to Shao Killer: "I can't fight."
Shao Killer's figure disappeared among the yellow leaves.
The man who looked like a god general also disappeared from the gate tower.
The figures of Yelu Canglang and Geng Ren in the city also disappeared.
Those women and children who were kneeling densely began to sob loudly.
Not a single eagle or vulture in the sky.
Looking down from a high altitude, there is a circle of black and red low walls inside the walls of this border city.
The black ones are the remains of the Qin army in black armor, and the corpses of the black vultures that usually fly above here.
The red one is the blood flowing out, which has not yet completely solidified.
Apart from these women and children, there is no one alive in this border town.
