I miss Dongting Lake in the south and Yanmen Pass in the north. Rice and millet are both lovely, flying away and returning again.
The autumn sky is high and the sounds of the mountains are silent. Zhao Changhe rides his horse to Yanmen Pass. Looking at the scenery in the distance, he suddenly feels that this poem is quite suitable for him.
Just like the geese flying north and south, but they are not flying for food.
As for the poem about the scenery, I'm stuck at the moment and can't think of a single sentence. It seems that some things require a certain mood.
Yanmen is not just a mountain pass, it is a whole county, and there are many counties under it. The barbarians' attack on the pass was not a quarter-long battle, but a continuous harassment. The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and there are countless battles of all sizes inside and outside, which is a battle-level span.
It seemed that the entire army had retreated, but in fact they suddenly came back. This was rare in battles in the Central Plains, but it was very normal for the Hu people.
Now is the autumn harvest season, and the Hu people are moving more frequently. If the battle is to end, it will probably be in the near future. Zhao Changhe has always wanted to come to Yanmen just to catch up.
Arriving at Yanmen County City, which is considered the rear area of Yanmen Pass, although we did not face the Hu people directly, the whole city had already been under martial law. There was no restriction on entry through the city gate, but the number of people entering the city was extremely small, and we only saw one or two occasionally.
The inspection at the city gate was also extremely strict, and it was equally severe for those coming from the south and the north. Zhao Changhe rode his horse closer, and even from a long distance away he could feel a group of soldiers' gazes falling sharply on him, looking at his swords and horses fiercely. The atmosphere was solemn and tense.
Huangfu Yongxian's ability in commanding the army can be seen from this.
Zhao Changhe pulled his horse back at a distance of one arrow and said, "Warriors from the Central Plains are heading north to fight against the Hu people. I heard there are many like-minded people on the road, and there are special camps for this purpose. I wonder how I should get there?"
The guard looked at him again, and suddenly thought of someone, and his expression became a little strange.
"The Knight Camp is indeed in the city, but we need to check your pass before we can let you pass."
Zhao Changhe knocked his head in pain. He forgot too much about his mother. He should have asked Tang Wanzhuang or Huangfu Qing to get him a pass in Beijing. He didn't remember that he had suffered a loss when he entered Beijing. He could have quietly entered the city to do business without attracting any attention, but his identity was exposed and he was in a mess. What about now? Is it exposed too
It is said that the generals of Yanmen are from the Wang family. Isn't it just looking for trouble to shout through Zhao Changhe to enter the pass
Seeing his hesitation, the guard seemed to be used to it. "Many of you heroes come from the outlaws. You don't have a pass and don't bother to get one. You think you are not bound by rules... But why bother? There's nothing wrong with following some rules. We won't say anything to this passionate hero. How about this? Tell us a familiar fellow traveler and we'll have someone go in and ask him to come out and identify the person."
Zhao Changhe thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Situ Xiao went north."
"Although he went north, he said he was impatient to stay in the camp and went to do his own thing."
"Han Wubing?"
"I haven't seen this person." The guard had a hint of smile in his eyes, and thought to himself, looking at this relationship chart, you must be Zhao Changhe, right
Zhao Changhe was helpless: "These two bastards... Forget it. I know someone must be there... Can you ask Yue Hongling to come out and meet him?"
The guard finally laughed out loud: "Lady Yue is even more elusive... But seeing your Excellency's attitude, why don't you just say the name of the leader of the Knight Camp? I guess you know him too."
"Who is it?"
"Cui Yuanyong."
They were all acquaintances... Zhao Changhe suddenly felt that this was the Yanmen version of the Qianlong gathering.
It should be so. The frontier is in turmoil, and the hidden dragon is heading north. This is much more meaningful than organizing the Langya Sword Contest at this moment. In this matter alone, Wang Zhaoling was outshined by his brother-in-law and was crushed to pieces.
Just when he was about to ask Cui Yuanyong to come out and identify the person, Cui Yuanyong came out by himself. He poked his head out from the top of the city wall and took a look: "I knew who it was. You should have come earlier. Let the person in. I guarantee this idiot."
Zhao Changhe didn't mind being called an idiot, because it would be your sister who would have to face this in the future anyway.
It’s not impossible for you to use it if you want.
He led the horse into the city and said with a smile, "Who has possessed you? Is it your place to say such foul language? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by your father?"
"This is the first time you heard me swear?"
"I've heard it before, but it wasn't this exaggerated when I was wrongly accused."
Cui Yuanyong came down from the tower and accompanied him inside. He sighed and said, "I finally understand why you were always swearing. This thing is really contagious. I haven't been with a group of gangsters for a few months. Now I feel like I can't speak without using swear words. Besides, you're staying in a mountain village. Come to think of it, you look a lot better now, right?"
"It's a little better. After all, the people I'm dealing with are different."
"For example, Tang Wanzhuang?" "Hmm..."
Cui Yuanyong glanced at him and said, "What idiot told me that Tang Wanzhuang will never get this man?"
Zhao Changhe looked up at the sky: "I didn't get this either."
No wonder this guy speaks so rudely. Never mind. I won’t bother with you.
"Bah." Cui Yuanyong snorted, "She was the one who sold my sister to Beimang, and now she is the one who has suffered the same fate. I don't have time to go to Beijing, otherwise I would ask her if she regrets it. Damn, she should have suffered the same fate earlier. Isn't this just cheating my sister?"
Zhao Changhe thought to himself, "Actually, if you ask Tang Wanzhuang, she still thinks that it is in the best interests of the empire for me to marry Yangyang, and she herself does not want to marry. But now that she is saying this, it is unknown whether she is being hypocritical."
Anyway, after talking with Xia Longyuan, I felt that these things were boring. Others were just watching the monkeys, and Wan Zhuang's scheming was just a joke.
He sighed: "Let's not talk about this, okay? What is the routine of this Knight Camp? What can I do?"
"Why don't you go to the grassland to play by yourself like Yue Hongling and Situ Xiao?"
"You want me to tell the truth?"
"Go ahead, I won't laugh at you."
"Because I've never been out of the border before, and I'm completely blind, should I just wander around or starve to death? It's better to find an organization, at least I know what I can do."
Cui Yuanyong laughed in silence, then sighed: "This is what makes you different from ordinary people in the martial arts world."
"Well?"
"They are all self-righteous, thinking they are very powerful, unrestrained, unwilling to be arranged, and go out to work on their own. Countless people have died outside, and we can't persuade them." Cui Yuanyong said helplessly: "These are all passionate patriots. It's a pity that they died, but what can we do? Damn, they all think they are Yue Hongling... You are much better than them, but you can know yourself and be clear-headed. You know what you can do... Or from another perspective..."
"Um?"
"Are you more used to having a group? Although you prefer to act alone, you are not a lone ranger at heart. You are completely different from Yue Hongling and Han Wubing. You are more like Tang Wanzhuang."
Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Because of who you think I am, that's how you think of me."
"Maybe." Cui Yuanyong stopped and pointed to the restaurant next to him: "Let me treat you to a meal first, and we can talk while we eat. I have something to do here, and I think it's suitable for you to do it."
Zhao Changhe was about to say something when a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky.
The two looked up in surprise.
"August, Autumnal Equinox. The Four Elephants teach the Vermillion Bird to slay the mad lion He Lei in Beimang."
"The seventh on the Earth Ranking has fallen, and the ranking has moved accordingly."
"Originally ranked 8th on the Earth List, Jian Lu Shi Wu Ding was promoted to 7th... Originally ranked 1st on the Human List, Vulture Lie Ya was promoted to 36th on the Earth List... Xue Canghai of the Blood God Cult was promoted to 72nd on the Human List."
Looking at the long list of names being promoted and replaced, Cui Yuanyong half opened his mouth, feeling a little trembling in his heart.
Fallen on the Earth Ranking... Still number seven.
Not only was he trembling in his heart, but the whole world was probably trembling! How many years had it been since the Earth Ranking fell? At least at this moment, the Hu army was probably in chaos, and the morale of the people was severely hit. There might even be power disputes within the tribe.
Si Xiang Sect Suzaku... Why would they suddenly kill He Lei and help him so much? General Huangfu must have laughed so hard that his teeth fell out.
Zhao Changhe had his hands clasped together and his face expressionless. It was not surprising that Zhuque killed He Lei. He Lei wanted to kill Miss Winged Fire Snake first. His whereabouts were discovered by the Four Symbols Sect. It seemed that Huangfu Shaozong and the Demon Suppression Division were not as efficient as the Four Symbols Sect to encircle and suppress them. With Zhuque taking action personally, there was no way He Lei could escape.
I was a little suspicious about whether Huangfu Qing was Zhuque, but now the suspicion has dissipated. Huangfu Qing said that he would not leave the capital with him, and then Zhuque killed He Lei, which did not seem like a person.
His mind was not completely focused on the fall of the Earth Ranking like everyone else, after all, it was expected... His eyes were more focused on the name at the end of the Human Ranking, and his expression was quite strange.
Long time no see, Master Xue, you have made great progress.
At that time, Master Xue said that he was at the ninth level of Xuanguan, but in fact, he was beaten by the eighth level, which was far from the level of the human list. Now he may have learned from his mistakes and improved a lot, and he was even on the human list. This time, it seems that it will be a little more difficult for me to ask the Blood God Sect for the skills
