Chapter six hundred and twenty sixth wind and frost
"Bang!"
An exquisite jade cup was directly smashed to the ground and exploded.
"Lin Yi is simply arbitrary. Before, even my people dared to rob him. Before I had time to settle the score with him, I didn't expect that even the people of the King of Linchuan dared to rob him now!"
The man in gorgeous clothes who smashed this exquisite jade cup hard was a man with no anger and self-importance.
The man had dragon patterns on his clothes, but he was not a real dragon, but a hornless dragon on his head.
In the Southern Dynasty, those who could wear such dragon-patterned clothes were also real kings and princes.
This person is Chen Kun's senior brother, Xiao Jinyu, the king of Nanlu.
Although the surname of Nanlu Xiao Jinyu is Xiao, it happened to be the imperial surname. He actually has no blood relationship with Xiao Yan and Xiao Hong, and he is not even a distant relative.
In many notes from the Southern Dynasty, he even had the title of Prince Moldy Rice.
The reason was that when Xiao Yan raised his army, Xiao Jinyu was an official in charge of the granary in the area of Nanling County. He was worried about the grain reserves that had been accumulated in the granary for many years, but the Liangzhou army was short of food at that time. In this way, Xiao Jinyu made great contributions as if he was providing timely assistance to the Liangzhou army.
This is of course very lucky.
But no matter how he became a king and a prince back then, he was a prince back then. Over the past six or seven years, Xiao Jinyu was no longer the grain official back then. His palace also collected countless talented people and strangers.
"Don't calm down!"
At this time, seven aides gathered in front of him. One of the tall and thin gentlemen, who looked like a master, looked at the broken jade on the ground, frowned, and said, "Lin Yi is in great moment at this time, and Lin Wangbei is returning to Jiankang. He will definitely try to restrain his old subordinates along the way. Although Lin Yi is hateful, if he fights head-on and burns his jades, it will be useless to the prince. What's more, now that he is close to the Chen family, Chen Baxian has attracted people to speak for him before, and Wei Rui and the border generals also deliberately win him over."
"Of course I know this, but Chen Kun is in his army, I must get this person Chen Kun." Xiao Jinyu said with a gloomy face and cold voice, "You should also think that after the Battle of Zhongli, since Chen Kun was exposed, in Lin Yi's heart, I am naturally his opponent. I am afraid that if I don't deal with him in the future, he will deal with me."
"This son can even conquer Wei Guanxing. He is really a brave man who observes his actions."
An old man in a black robe nodded, but laughed, "But the prince, we don't need to do anything to deal with him."
The old man said this, and the other staff members flashed their eyes and instantly realized. However, Xiao Jinyu was still angry at this time, but he was too lazy to think about it. He just looked at him and said, "Mr. Qi, please tell me in detail."
"We knew that Chen Kun was the leader of a private salt dealer before, so we also spent a lot of effort to track his traces. This man was very cunning. He had wasted several years before, but he did not gain anything. At least we also have many acquaintances in Dangxiang."
The old man, known as Mr. Qi, smiled and said, "Now he is the general of Zhenxi, and everyone knows that he will not settle on the border and will definitely enter Dangxiang. The first person to deal with him is Dangxiang people."
"oh?"
Xiao Jinyu immediately reacted, his face disappeared, and he laughed, "Yes, as long as he tried to reveal his whereabouts to the Dangxiang people at all times, why should we deal with it?"
Seeing these staff members smiling and silent, he became serious and continued: "But... I must remember that those Dangxiang people must know that Chen Kun, I want to live. It doesn't matter if I cut off my hands and feet, and it doesn't matter if I lose my cultivation, but he can't die. He must bring all the things on his body back."
...
The river water is flowing quietly, and an old pine tree covers the sky like an umbrella.
Lin Yi and his group took a break under this old pine tree.
The mountains not far away are all white.
Occasionally, something shiny came over in the mountain breeze. Lin Yi stretched out his hand, and a shiny thing fell on his palm and quickly turned into water.
This is the wind and frost, the frost mixed in the wind, and the glaciers in the distance.
Very strange.
The air here is not cold. Even because of the high terrain, the skin is still a little hot and painful after being exposed to the sun for a long time. However, the wind blowing from the high altitude brings the ice and snow in the distance.
"There are local microclimates here. The terrain reaches a certain height and there are glaciers. The temperature difference between day and night is amazing. Dangxiang is not all ice and snowy. There are no people living in the high mountains and bitter cold areas. Dangxiang's densely populated cities are all in the low areas where the cold wind on some glaciers will not flow through. Many of them are like spring in all seasons. But what needs to be noted most in this microclimate is that the temperature does not change slowly like Jiankang, but it is several seasons a day. Some places are obviously very warm, but after a moment, it may be very cold and dripping water turns into ice."
Fei Xu looked at Lin Yi. Although he knew that Lin Yi was not brave but incompetent, he was still a little nervous when he walked along the way, as he saw that Lin Yi did not mention any military equipment, he was still a little nervous, afraid that Lin Yi would be too proud and careless.
In his opinion, if it weren't for these natural obstacles, it would be too difficult to overcome. I'm afraid that countries like Dangxiang would have been conquered by the southern dynasties a few dynasties earlier.
But the more glorious the dynasty was unable to conquer the Dangxiang, the more it meant that the harsh climate was the biggest killer of the army.
"Don't worry, you'll know tomorrow."
Lin Yi knew what Fei Xu was worried about, so he couldn't help but smile, but his eyes fell on the ancestral snake at the end.
After more than ten days of trekking, they had already crossed Ailao Mountain and entered the Beiyin Plain.
The Northern Yin Plain is located at the junction of Tuyuhun, Dangxiang and the Southern Dynasties. Although it is a territory of the Southern Dynasties, there are only a small number of nomads moving, and there has never been a large town that naturally formed. In order to guard against the sudden invasion of Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, the Southern Dynasties only established two border cities in the Northern Yin Plain, one called Jiangyoucheng and the other called Guchuancheng.
In addition to the border troops with thousands of rotations in these two cities, there are also some scattered Wu people around, living in the military and civilians who were exiled here, and many of them were the families of exiled soldiers.
Most of these exiled soldiers were punished to such extreme border towns after committing crimes in the army. If they cannot give enough benefits on the way, they often die on the way out. When they arrive here, they will almost die on their own and will not have the chance to return to their hometown.
This kind of border town has little resistance to the invasion of Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, and at most it will serve as an early warning function.
However, Tuyuhun and Dangxiang were also very aware that these border cities and Wurencheng were not well-off. Even though Dangxiang was ready to move, a large army entered the Beiyin Plain, they did not attack any border cities.
Following the route of the Tie Ce Army, the Tie Ce Army traveled to Furukawa Castle and met them in Xinxu outside the Korukawa Castle.
Xinxu was also a city of Wuren before. However, in the early years of the Nanchao Tianjian, it was already unable to satisfy itself due to the continuous decline in population. All the population in the city moved to the nearby Xiyan City. Although there were still city walls and houses left there, only nomads would pass by occasionally when they grazed.
The ancestor snake has been following him, and the longer he has followed him, he seems to be more and more aware of some of his words and gestures, and the injuries in his body seem to have completely healed. There must be no problem in moving forward and reaching the Dangxiang border, but I don’t know if I can travel through those cold areas.
Fei Xu held back all the way, and only then did he remind him indirectly when he got here. However, seeing Lin Yi's expression, he immediately realized that Lin Yi was prepared, so he couldn't help but smiled with a self-deprecating smile and said, "It seems that I'm too worried."
...
Desolation is an eternal melody on the Beiyin Plain. Although the plants and trees are abundant, they are endless, and there are even traces of cattle and horses, and the sky seems desolate.
Qi Zhuji and Tie Ce Army members have just entered the Beiyin Plain.
Compared to Lin Yi and others who walked directly through Ailao Mountain towards Koichi Castle, they were slightly slower.
The Yuning River is one of the largest rivers on the Beiyin Plain. The water source comes from the melting snow of glaciers in Dangxiang. The milky white river water rushes all year round.
Many dandelions grow on the tidal flats on both sides of the river bank.
Unlike the dandelions in the fields outside Jiankang City, the dandelions here are tall like reeds.
When they were walking, they had just a little more puff, and the white tundra of the big buns drifted with the wind and spread to the distance.
They do not need to deliberately avoid densely populated areas like Lin Yi, who has taken the ancestral snake. What's more, after leaving Ningzhou, it became increasingly wider and sparsely populated. The so-called official road is just a slightly wider dirt road.
They are following the official road.
Just looking at the rushing river water ahead, Qi Zhuji frowned.
There are many broken vine ropes on several thick wooden stakes.
The broken hole of the vine cord looks very new.
On the march map, of course there is a bridge here.
Although it is just a vine bridge, it is strong enough that even the caravans transport heavy objects can ensure passage.
But it is obvious that the vine bridge was deliberately destroyed before they arrived.
"It's been peaceful along the way, but it doesn't look peaceful forever."
Qi Zhuji arrived in front of Chen Jinru's carriage and smiled sarcastically, "When it comes to an uninhabited land, some people can't help it."
"Relax the wolf."
Chen Jinru said three words in an extremely simple manner.
Qi Zhuji and Wei Guanxing, who was close to him, looked at each other, nodded, and said nothing.
Several wolf smoke quickly rose up on the banks of the Yuning River and rushed into the sky.
With Taoist Yuan here, even if Lin Yi is not here, no one in the world can eliminate their Tie Ce Army here. However, the conscription within the Tie Ce Army plan has been completed. If the other party does not want to destroy the Tie Ce Army at all, but just wants to kill and injured some of them, it will have a great impact on the Tie Ce Army.
