Volume 1 Chapter 18

Spring will die before summer.

In the imperial city of Zhongzhou, there are few people in the high wall and deep courtyard. In addition, the southern expedition is unfavorable. Sometimes, there are blood stained halls. Compared with the outside world, they are more clean and unheated.

Outside the heavy iron gate of the ghost prison, in a side room used by the officer of the criminal division for rest, there are two people talking, one of them is Xu's maxim.

With the support of Jiang family and the support of Wen Shoufu, Xu Jianyan has already had a certain right of speech in the criminal department, and he has already made some friends and intimate friends in the palace.

One of them is Nian Qingchen, the official of rites who is talking to him at the moment.

"Are you sure Lin Xi has appeared in Yanlai town?"

"The maid who served in the Royal study that day was my man. She heard the conversation between the Holy One and the great sacrifice Nianqingchen, a student of Xu's family, looked at Xu's maxim as younger than himself, but he didn't let himself feel frightened. He calmed down as much as possible and said, "there can be no mistake in the news."

Xu proverb said coldly, "is there any expression in the holy kingdom?"

"The holy one was in a bad mood, but under the persuasion of the great sacrifice, he should not do anything." Nianqingchen said, "because Lin Xi is going to the south border."

"Going south at this time?"

Xu Zhenyan's eyes narrowed slightly, showing some needle like cold light, sneered: "want to find revenge for hearing people cangyue and Xu Qiubai? Has his body and accomplishments been completely restored? Even if qingluan college provides him with all kinds of miraculous medicines, he can only go to the level of national scholar at most. Even Xu Qiubai has already been the top practitioner of the grand master. He is going to revenge. He is just looking for his own death. No wonder the holy commune let him go. "

……

Lin Xi has been missing for a whole autumn and winter, plus a spring that will be gone.

However, because he has become the bottom line of the break-up between qingluan college and Zhongzhou Imperial City, at least in Yunqin, no big power has forgotten his existence.

On the day when Xu Zhenyan and the palace official nianqingchen talked about Lin Xi, the three majestic black and gold carriages gathered at the last crossing again.

"Lin Xi appears."

"It's normal."

"But qingluan college is still dormant, which is not normal."

The old men in the three majestic black gold carriages began to talk again.

"It's really an abnormal signal."

"The news that vice president Xia is in poor health seems to be true."

"So Valley heart sound town? Outside Linxi? The outside world of qingluan college is for Lin Xi? "

"It seems impossible But that's exactly what all the signs are like right now. "

"So?"

"No matter what the reason is, vice president Xia and Xiao Mingxuan must have their reasons, so I will not interfere."

"I will not interfere."

"I agree."

Silence was restored in the three majestic black and gold carriages, and then the sound of wheels as heavy as giant walking sounded. The three carriages that could decide many things in the world separated and left.

From the news of the defeat in the southern expedition of Yunqin to the Aojiao mountain in the dragon and snake border to the news of the appearance of Linxi to the imperial city of Zhongzhou, these days, many things have happened in the whole Yunqin empire.

Emperor Yunqin issued a conscription order and began to recruit a large number of soldiers within the whole empire.

A large number of old officials of Yun Qin, who had been in charge since the time of the first emperor, wrote to resign because of the retirement of the Huang family and the failure of the death advice given by the Li Si to Liu Zhaoze.

The town guards from all over the country rushed to the southern border after receiving orders. The unified army who did not pursue Hu Biyi failed, but still let Hu Biyi unify the army. This is probably the place where most officials in Yunqin rarely agree with emperor Yunqin.

Because the great mang imperial city has clearly given the order to recover qianxiashan.

In this period of time, more than one hundred thousand mang troops under the command of cangyue have launched more than 20 campaigns, and the Yunqin army cannot stand firm. The great mang army has recovered and crossed the magic altar. As expected by Zhantai shallow Tang Dynasty, under the condition that the Chinese army under the command of Hu Biyi is incomplete and unable to compete with the great mang army, the remaining total number of the great mang army in the northern border of Yunqin is more than 100000, and the casualties have exceeded 50000.

Even though there are some successor troops in Yunqin, the number and strength of the reinforcements can't match the number and strength of the big mang army to eliminate the Yunqin army. So now the battle situation of the whole big mang north area has arrived, in exchange for the big part of Yunqin escaping and returning to qianxiashan with the blocking and defending of some small troops.

There was no good news on the battlefield of nanfa expedition, only the continuous bad news came back to Yunqin.

In the past day by day, many forces lost Lin Xi's specific trace again.

Because qingluan college seems to remain silent about Lin Xi's appearance, and Lin Xi's going south all the way is just one person, without using any force.

To find a person's trace, naturally, depends on people. If this person is like a lone wolf, like a rogue, and does not contact with people, even the most powerful force, it is difficult to grasp his specific track.

……

……

With the passage of time, Dashan's main force is only five days away from qianxiashan.

In the dusk, a 3000 person Yunqin army suddenly blocked the main road of the big mang army.

In the face of 70000 big mang army, 3000 people are not in an order of magnitude, and there is no hope of winning at all. However, in the face of the overwhelming big mang army, the Yunqin army still chose to stick to the fight.

A five thousand strong elite cavalry quickly rounded the flank of the Yunqin army and began to attack the Yunqin army, which occupied the high ground beside the main road.

At the same time, a Qianfeng battalion of three thousand men, equipped with arrow troops and heavy armour troops, started to attack from the front.

In less than ten stops, the flank of the Yunqin army could not bear the pressure and showed signs of collapse.

However, at this time, in front of the big mang army, there appeared an extremely tall horse in black and red armor like iron.

Above the horse, there was a figure in black and red armor and a long indigo Cape, like a cast iron figure.

This iron cast figure gives people an extremely strong feeling. Obviously, he is not satisfied with such a war situation. Looking at this stubborn Yunqin army, which delays the pursuit of the main force of Dashan, he gives a heavy snort.

In his cold hum, one of the front generals in front of him had a white face. At one command, he first rushed up with a three pronged gun in the color of magma. At the same time, on the two hundred chariots in front of him, two hundred heavy armored soldiers in the armor of the big mang main battle night devil stood up, jumped off the chariot, and then began to face the Yunqin army in front Run wildly.

The battle soon turned into a one-sided massacre.

In the first ten stops, only a few hundred people died in this Yunqin army. In the next ten stops, only the last dozens of the 3000 person Yunqin army were left.

Dozens of Yunqin soldiers on the corpse pile have exhausted their strength. Facing the butcher knives that have been cut to the ground, these soldiers who are unable to resist are just staring at the iron casting demon like body of Dashan army, spitting out a mouthful of saliva.

……

Qianxiashan qianyeguan, General Chen Gong looks pale at the wasteland under the mountain.

Of course, he couldn't see how the Yunqin army, which stood in front of the Dashan army like a mantis arm, died. However, the constant military situation let him know that such a thing happened at the moment. He also knew very well that the exhausted remnant of the Yunqin army under commander Hu Biyi was only a day away from the Dashan army in the rear.

Even though the day's journey was paid for at the expense of many Yunqin soldiers, in the face of some big mang troops who still have the ability of long-distance attack, such distance is still not enough, and many Yunqin soldiers will fall down on the way back to qianxiashan.

Most of the reinforcements from the rear haven't come yet, but in recent days, more and more scattered Yunqin units have been killed and scattered.

At this moment, in the sight of Chen palace, there is a remnant of Yun Qin, who is nearly a thousand people, retreating towards Qianye pass.

This is a completely unbearable picture of defeat for the Yunqin people.

Almost every one of the nearly one thousand Yunqin remnant soldiers was wounded, and almost all of them were coagulated with thick blood color on their armor. In the whole team, there were only more than one hundred horses, carrying soldiers who were too wounded to stand up. These people seem to have reached the limit of their physical strength. On their way, some of them fell down from time to time, while some of the soldiers who went up to help them even fell down on their own.

A cavalry, which had rushed out of Qianye pass, had already met the remnant of Yunqin and began to pick up all the soldiers of the remnant army.

Chen Gong and all the soldiers on the wall of Qianye pass are looking at this picture with a heavy heart. They know that maybe a few days later, they will see most of Yunqin.

The disabled army began to enter the customs. The names of all the sergeants and their respective armies have been registered one by one.

Chen Gong and several generals have also come down to the castle, approaching the remnant army who even has a rotten smell.

I don't know why, if there is a flash of light in his mind, he suddenly feels something wrong In that moment, the experienced qianxia border guard stopped breathing. He had already reflected what was wrong!

The disabled army reported that there was no problem with their troops, their clothes and even their wounds. But this disabled Army Most of them seem to be stronger than the average sergeant!

In the moment when he was still breathing and didn't give any orders, one of the remaining soldiers straightened up and raised his head.

This man seemed to be very withered before. He was not visible in this remnant army. But now he just stood straight and looked up. His body was extremely tall, heavier and harder than steel. Even the blood all over his body seemed to turn into a very hard armor.

Chen Gong's eyes were irresistibly focused on the man. He saw the man's face. Then he couldn't believe it. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.
