Chapter 1016

(monthly ticket!)

There are not many boats on the river. Although the war has left Luoshui, the shadow of the war is still there. Most of the fishermen on both sides of the Strait have moved away. If they can't go far, they try to move to the place controlled by the black flag army on the West Bank. Perhaps people are the most difficult to recover after the war. Compared with the green trees and flowers on both sides of the Strait, most of people's hearts are still haze gray.

There are four Huanglong express ships in front, and so are the rear. In the middle is a giant ship, which is a large ship that has not been transformed, and the ship building is still there.

After leaving Xinyang City, the fleet went upstream and went north along Luoshui. After the intersection of Luoshui, Yangtze River and huangniu River, go east to Yong'an canal. There are two wide waterways to be taken. If you go west along the Yangtze River, you can turn into Yishui. Yishui Luoshui, the line that turns a corner is the boundary separating the Central Plains. To the west of Luoshui is the southwest roads controlled by the Fangjie black flag army.

After the Yangtze River, along the Yishui River and through the Mangdangshan mountain, it is the barren northwest land. I don't know why the composition of the earth is so magical. The southwest is the land of fish and rice, and the northwest is the land of bitter cold. The more you go north, the more barren it is. When you get to Shandong Road, it's basically warm for a few days all year round.

After crossing Shandong Road, to the north is the mountain range from langru mountain. Langrushan turned about 90 degrees from north to south to East-West in the north of Shandong road. However, after crossing the wolf Rushan in the north, it is still a grassland, but even the kuoktaimeng family are too lazy to take care of it.

Then pass through this area that is already the grassland boundary, which is the 100000 mountains that the northern Liao people once lived in. If the cold in fangucheng is tolerable, the cold in 100000 mountains can only be borne by the northern Liao people who have lived there for generations.

If you change other nationalities, I'm afraid you won't last long.

It's hard to tell why the 100000 mountains are so cold. Just as no one understands why the northwest of the great Sui Dynasty is so barren, no one can understand why there are 100000 mountains in the world. It is said that at the beginning, the people of the northern Liao nationality had always wanted to submit to the great Sui Dynasty, but the emperor of the great Sui Dynasty did not give a clear answer. The Great Khan of the northern Liao Dynasty sent people to the north to explore and try to find another place suitable for people to live.

But to their disappointment, the farther north, the colder it was. The farthest team went out for three thousand miles, but they could not see the stone mountains, but the frightening icebergs.

In this way, the people of northern Liao were completely dead.

When Fang Xie had nothing to do on the ship, he spread out the map of Da Sui to have a look. There was no news from Gyeonggi province. Even if he was uneasy, he had no way. However, he left Xiang qingniu and Wu Yi to calculate the distance. Xiao 19 has also received the message to rush here. There should be no big trouble.

The map of the great Sui Dynasty is quite detailed. In such an era, it is actually a very difficult thing to draw a detailed map, which is much more than the road that emperor Yang Jian, Taizu of the great Sui Dynasty, took to build an empire. It takes a lot of human, material and financial resources and takes several years or even decades to complete.

The map in Fang Xie's hand was newly added during the reign of emperor Zhenzong of the great Sui Dynasty, which is much more detailed than the map drawn by Emperor Taizong in his later years. The map also added areas around the great Sui Dynasty, and the map drawn in the reign of Taizong only marked out who controlled those places.

Fang Xie's finger moved on the map and went north from the south end of Luoshui, that is, where Yunnan road still has to go east. After reaching the Yangtze River, he turned a corner to Yishui and then went north.

It is said that the birthplace of Yishui is on langrushan, which runs from east to west. It is said that there is a Tianchi Lake on langru mountain, which is very vast.

However, because the terrain is too dangerous, it is not very clear. In fact, it is difficult to verify where the source of such a big river almost runs through the north and south. The people sent by the Ministry of industry of the great Sui Dynasty simply can't go to langrushan.

"What are you looking at?"

Sang Sa Sa sat down with Ning'er beside Fang Xie and asked.

Fang Xie reached out to take Ning'er over and hugged him in his arms. The little guy has adapted to his father's arms these days. Without teasing her, she looked at Fang Xie and grinned. Fang Xie kissed her on the forehead, which made her feel particularly satisfied.

"I've always had a problem I don't understand.

Fang Xie stretched out his finger and pointed to fan Gu: "to the west of fan Gu, crossing the wolf milk mountain is the grassland. The grassland is rich and beautiful. Why is there almost no grass in Shandong? Further north, I can't go far. Crossing the mountain is still the grassland. Although I haven't been there, Yunshu said that the grassland there is OK."

He stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the position of Shandong Road: "it's only across a mountain... Further east, Shandong road is the most barren, and the more East, the better the environment. When he arrived at Hexi Road, it's basically not much different from Hedong road. The most painful thing is Shandong road."

Sang Sa Sa looked at Fang Xie's fingers for a moment and nodded: "if you don't say it, you haven't noticed. It's really strange. Why is the grassland in the west of langrushan nothing, and it's so barren in the east? If it's cold, it's also cold in the grassland in the west of langrushan, but it doesn't affect the growth of grass."

"Is there a big monster living underground on the other side of Shandong road?"

Fang Xie said with a smile.

Sang Sa Sa also smiled: "if there is such a big fierce beast, where can people live? I came from there, and the natural environment there is very bad. My strength is also the weakest in Shandong Road, and I can hardly borrow much natural power."

Fang Xie was slightly stunned and thought of something, but the idea flashed away, and he couldn't think of anything again.

……

……

Wanyan Yunshu took a piece of exquisite cake in his hand and fed it to Ning'er little by little. While feeding, he recalled: "it's really strange to say that people from other places can't stand the cold of 100000 mountains except our beiliao people. According to my father Khan, we beiliao people lived here in the earliest time."

She pointed to the long and narrow grassland north of langru mountain and south of 100000 Mountains: "Although this place is also very cold, there is no problem with herding horses and sheep. Later, after the establishment of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, wolves rode on a wide territory. Although our tribal warriors were very strong, they could not defeat a large number of Mongolian Yuan wolf riders and had to retreat into 100000 mountains. Many years later, our people have adapted to the cold, and even the war horses gradually Adapted. "

"So you have cold cavalry."

Fang Xie said with a smile.

Wan Yan Yunshu nodded: "Father Khan said that the horses brought into the 100000 mountain in the first time almost died, and only a few dozen horses were left. The people guarded them as if they were treasures. Later, few ponies survived. In the fourth year after the tribe moved into the 100000 mountain, there were only two horses left in the tribe. Fortunately, one male and one female... Strangely, the regenerated ponies It seems that horses are naturally not afraid of cold and can gallop on snowy mountains. During this period, the tribe has sent people to small tribes on the grassland to plunder. They use the robbed war horses to mate and breed with the war horses in the tribe. They don't have horses again until many years later. "

She wiped Xiao Ning'er's mouth with a handkerchief: "For a thousand years, the tribe lived so hard that they didn't dare to let the Mongolians know about our breeding of horses. Until more than 200 years ago, the scale of horses had been too large to hide. However, at that time, we were not particularly afraid of the Mongolians. When they came, we ran to the mountains. When they left, we plundered on the grassland."

"In order to suppress our tribe, wolf riding will launch a siege to our tribe almost every few years."

She sighed and thought of her parents.

"I don't know if father Khan and his family are living well in their new home. I haven't heard from them for a while."

"That's right"

She seemed to suddenly think of something: "do you remember that there was a Han man in the tribe."

Fang Xie naturally remembered and nodded.

"It's so cold on the mountain, but I don't know why. There are always Han people coming. After one has left, one will come again soon. Father Khan once guessed whether there is any secret in the mountain. Those Han people pretended to stay in the tribe to teach ethnic knowledge, but in fact they were secretly exploring something."

"What can there be?"

Seeing Ning'er sleepy, sang Sasha held her in her arms and gently patted, "what can be hidden in 100000 mountains?"

"I don't know"

Wan Yan Yunshu shook his head: "The father Khan just speculated that our tribe was not like the Chinese practitioners with great skills, so he could not explore the secrets of the mountain. However, the Han in our tribe left every other day and came back every other month or two. Therefore, the father Khan speculated that he just regarded our tribe as a temporary home because he needed supplies Come down. "

Fang Xie thought for a while, but he couldn't think of what could be hidden in such a cold place as 100000 mountains.

"What if it's not a treasure?"

Sang Sasa suddenly said: "What we've been thinking about is that the Han people in Yunshu tribe passed through the Central Plains. However, why can't they come out from the depths of 100000 mountains? Maybe some practitioners went there a long time ago and thought it was quiet and free from worldly strife, so they stayed to practice hard. But they didn't want to live in isolation, so they sent people out to inquire about news from time to time "The Han man in Yunshu tribe may be a sentry sent by the practitioners in 100000 mountains to observe the outside world."

"Sentry?"

Fang Xie repeated it and smiled.

Sang Sa Sa's statement is somewhat unimaginable, but it is not likely.

"That man's cultivation is not high."

Fang Jiedao.

Sang Sasa said: "naturally, people with high accomplishments are not high. Do they want to be sentinels? If it's what I speculate, they are also sent disciples, and they are not the best disciples. Naturally, this kind of hard work is done by disciples who don't have much future, or they are not pleasing."

"Anyway."

Fang Xie said, "if you can stand the pain, 100000 mountain is really a good place for practice. It is the most pure and undisturbed. If you really think like Sa Sa, maybe there are some great practitioners living in 100000 mountain."

After Fang explained this sentence, something flashed in his mind, but he still didn't catch it.

He always felt that he had overlooked something.
