Chapter 336 Going south
"Why, you want to go alone?"
Tian Yan glanced at him sideways, half-closed his beautiful golden pupils, and glanced up and down at Xu Yuan: "However, with your cultivation level, Third Young Master, going south alone, I'm afraid there is a high probability that you will die on the way."
Hearing her gunpowder-flavored words, Xu Yuan felt contemptuous, and retorted in a low voice:
"Tsk, so many warriors who have tempered their bones and veins dare to operate in the northern border, my cultivation base of Concentrating Soul is actually not weak."
Li Qingyan pressed the curtain above his head, and the black gauze swung lightly:
"Since that's the case, Chang Tian might as well go south alone? If this is the time to go south and travel through the northern border alone, Chang Tian should gain a lot."
“.”
Xu Yuan smashed his mouth.
He felt something was wrong.
It took half an hour to detour back to the barracks from the city wall, shouldn't these two women be pinching each other when they are alone? How do you feel that he, the referee, is being targeted?
Thinking, he glanced at Xiao Bai who was following behind with his head bowed.
Bai Muxi felt the gaze, raised her bright eyes, glanced at two beautiful figures, one tall and one short, in front of her, her eyes flickered for a moment, and said in a low voice:
"If the young master is willing to go south alone, Mu Xi is willing to go with the young master."
唰—
After finishing speaking, two cold eyes looked at her at the same time.
Xiaobai lowered his head without any hesitation:
"If His Royal Highness Wu Yuan agrees."
The girl in palace costume was very dissatisfied by ignoring someone directly in her words. She slightly frowned, and stared at this strange woman with a bit of unkindness.
Li Qingyan's gaze under the curtain was very interesting when he heard the words.
Xu Yuan's face remained unchanged, but he was satisfied in his heart.
He is obedient and sensible, and knows how to use the fragrance of tea to attract hatred for him at the right time.
With a light cough, Xu Yuan whispered:
"Okay, Mu Xi, don't provoke discord, Qingyan and Tianyan are just angry words."
Bai Muxi bowed immediately when she heard the words, without any excuse:
"Mu Xi knows his mistake."
"This is not an example."
"yes."
“.”
Turning his eyes back, Xu Yuan looked at the second daughter, but before he could speak, Tian Yan suddenly spoke, with a clear and indifferent voice:
"Xu Yuan, I haven't heard you introduce this Miss Bai yet."
Xu Yuan's eyes showed surprise, he looked at Li Qingyan, and asked with doubts:
"Didn't you introduce it just now?"
Li Qingyan watched the fire from the other side, and said briefly:
"Just now I ordered her to tell the saint that she is willing to follow you because of your great kindness."
Xu Yuan looked back at Tian Yan:
"Isn't this already introduced? I owe her a favor, so she follows me, it's as simple as that."
“.”
Tian Yan's eyes flickered, and his eyes swept over Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi.
The former took it for granted with a calm face, while the latter lowered his eyes obediently.
The expressions of the two of them gave her a grievance that she had nowhere to vent.
Obviously the relationship must be more than that, but she has no position to ask him.
Looking at the silent girl in palace costume, a smile flashed across Li Qingyan's eyes, and suddenly he spoke softly:
"Chang Tian saved Si Ming's family, and she did everything she could to repay her, so...um...hehe."
“.”
Xu Yuan's eyes froze, and he turned his eyes to look at Li Qingyan bit by bit, with a touch of disbelief.
Hiss. Are you plotting against me?
Under the curtain, those magnificent red pupils blinked at him.
The feeling of being on his back made Xu Yuan realize that he had underestimated a woman's desire for revenge, no matter how sensible a woman is, she would hold a grudge against her.
But Xu Yuanjun's handsome face remained calm, because he knew that Xiaobai would make a move.
As expected,
As soon as Li Qingyan's voice fell, the soft voice of Bai Muxi who lowered her eyes came quietly:
"What Your Highness said is right. Mu Xi really has nothing to repay this kindness, but... this is just Mu Xi's wishful thinking."
"Stop acting."
Tian Yan's clear and beautiful voice interrupted the performance of the three of them. He took a deep breath and turned his face away: "Even if it's not wishful thinking, I... have no right to say anything anyway."
It is hardest to bear beauty's grace.
Seeing her desolate look in the wind and snow, Xu Yuan sighed softly, but did not try to comfort her. Instead, he looked at Li Qingyan and asked:
"Where shall we go south together?"
Li Qingyan glanced at Tian Yan, shook his head in his heart, and said via voice transmission:
"You are really cruel."
Xu Yuan didn't reply.
"Do you want me to leave for a while?"
Xu Yuan still didn't reply.
Just kidding, Yan Tian Jue comes with its own spy voice transmission.
Seeing this, Li Qingyan didn't say much on the matter, but instead said:
"Let's go south to Guangyang Mansion."
Guangyang Mansion, the state capital of Damangzhou, is a northbound transportation hub controlled by the imperial court, where more than a dozen official roads converge.
"Guangyang Mansion?" Xu Yuan murmured, and asked softly, "What are we going there for?"
Li Qingyan glanced at the south through the black veil of the curtain:
"The front of the army has moved, and the battle has begun. Send you there, and I will return to the army."
Xu Yuan hesitated slightly:
"Aren't you going back to Imperial Capital together?"
"Why, you don't want to miss me?" Li Qingyan smiled, and said via voice transmission: "If you don't like Chang Tian, you can consider staying with you."
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and remained silent.
Li Qingyan shook his head boredly, and without further sound transmission, he said leisurely:
"Going back to Di'an City is nothing more than the messy things of my family. Hmph, once my identity enters the capital, I will definitely be involved in it. Compared with these power struggles, my palace is needed more on the battlefield in the north."
The breeze raised the curtain, and after a glimpse, she could clearly see the helplessness in her jewel-like red pupils.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:
"Is this trip in a hurry?"
Li Qingyan was suspicious:
"Do you need time?"
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, then laughed in a low voice:
"When I first came to Beifeng, I said that I would erect a monument for the soldiers. Have you forgotten?"
Li Qingyan's red pupils were a little surprised, and there were little ripples in his heart, and he shook his head:
"I thought you forgot, but there's no need."
“.”
"This matter, the second brother of the palace, has already done it, just in the south of the city. After the defeat of the barbarian army, he spent ten days and ten nights engraving all the dead soldiers recorded in the book on the south wall.
"Now this matter has probably spread all over the world, and now he has a good reputation in the military."
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes, then sighed:
"Since this is the case, then so be it."
"I thought you would be angry." Li Qingyan looked into his eyes: "After all, this good name should belong to you."
When the group of four first came to Beifeng, it was the man in front of him who first proposed to erect a monument, in order to let those who died leave traces in this world.
"A good name. This good name is a bit fake on my head."
Xu Yuan laughed softly, then shook his head lightly:
"Anyone can do this. The purpose is to let future generations remember the soldiers who died in the barbarian war. Since Li Zhaoyuan did it, let him do it."
Li Qingyan took a deep look at him:
"Grassroots soldiers and generals don't understand the struggle for power within the palace walls, they only think that the second brother is a nobleman"
"I know." Xu Yuan interrupted softly.
The royal family is supreme in the eyes of all the common people in the world.
In the previous life, there was Wu Qi's gangrene, not to mention the extraordinary world where the gap is too big to make up.
In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, Li Zhaoyuan is the king of benevolence in their eyes after this trip, and even the future benevolent king.
but
Xu Yuan looked in the direction of the south wall, as if he saw Li Zhaoyuan's flamboyant handwriting on it, and smiled softly:
"too late.
"If you want to get involved in the army, this monument is indeed a good entry point, but it's too late. If you used Li Zhaoyuan's character and methods ten years earlier, you might really be able to make a difference in the army, but there is no time in the current situation. Give him the layout."
"However, since Li Zhaoyuan has already done the erection of the monument, there is no point for us to stay here in Beifeng. Let's go."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yuan walked into the snow curtain without looking back.
Looking at his back, Li Qingyan half-closed her phoenix eyes, and pursed her lips with complicated emotions.
Tianyan Zhanjin's pupils saw her expression clearly through the curtain, and sighed softly:
"It's like this again."
The sky is vast, the mountains are rolling, and the endless snow is deadly silent.
A huge lion eagle with a wingspan of more than 30 feet pierced the void between the snowstorms and landed towards the ground. There were overgrown forests among the snow-capped mountains, its wings swung, the wind crushed the treetops, and the snow on the ground danced wildly. For a while, it was like Qionglou Wonderland.
When all the dust fell to the ground, the lion, eagle and beast lay flat on the ground, and the wind and snow remained.
There was a slight "squeak" sound of pushing the door, accompanied by a gentle male voice complaining in this silent halfway up the mountain:
"This second-level military monster is really embarrassing, and I can't hold on to the cold."
Pushing the door open, the bleak cold wind blew like a knife, Xu Yuan hurriedly performed his exercises to keep out the cold, his body warmed up, he glanced around, and sighed leisurely:
"At this speed, we don't know when we will be able to rush back to Guangyang Mansion."
"Slow?"
The clear and melodious female voice answered, and a girl in palace costume who was standing in the air followed the man in the brocade robe to the platform of the attic, and said softly:
"If it weren't for someone with a low level of cultivation and not using monsters to travel, we might have arrived in the past few days. Are you right, third son?"
"." Xu Yuan.
Clear and beautiful, but yin and yang strange.
Xu Yuan squinted at the expressionless girl beside him, and smiled:
"You can go first, our destinations are different anyway."
"." Tian Yan snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan stretched out his hand to caress the scattered hair at her temples. Tian Yan sensed it, and snorted in his heart, but he didn't hide, but this movement was still interrupted by another low, rustling female voice:
"Let's find a place to stay. Although this griffin is resistant to cold, it doesn't have enough stamina. Rest for a night before continuing on the road."
Xu Yuan withdrew his hand without a trace, and looked back at the tall and beautiful figure who appeared at the wooden door.
She has already changed into plain clothes, her jade legs are slender and straight, her **** are not covered, and her curves are enchanting.
Hanging in mid-air, the girl in palace costume who was at the same height as her cast a cold sideways glance at the breast-wrapped princess who deliberately no longer covered her breasts:
"Rest in this attic?"
Li Qingyan didn't answer, but looked at Xu Yuan, signaling him to make up his mind.
Xu Yuan thought for a while, then laughed softly:
"Go down and walk around, stay in this broken attic every day, my waist hurts from sleeping."
Tian Yan shrank his eyes and pupils, as if thinking of something, an imperceptible blush appeared on his fair face.
Li Qingyan said with a smile:
"Chang Tian, your waist needs to be well maintained. Have you ever taken the pill that I sent you in the Imperial Capital?"
Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he replied with a smile:
"Heh, being able to speak well is not real skill. Anyway, I have learned how His Highness can tell the truth."
Tian Yan listened to the conversation between the two, snorted coldly, and interrupted their conversation:
"So, third son, where are we going? I remember that you need to sleep as a strong soul congealer. Do you want to be crushed in this snowy day?"
When it came to the last four words, she almost said them through gritted teeth.
Looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan blushed without heartbeat, and said softly:
"Although it's good to be seated, it's unsightly. You still have to have a sense of ritual when you sleep, and find a place to stay."
Tian Yan heard that Zhan's golden pupils glanced around along the mountainside, and directly penetrated the snow that filled the sky:
"There is a mountain village three miles to the west, and a cave two miles to the east, but there is a bear demon inside, where to go?"
"The caves where monsters live are usually very smelly."
Xu Yuan said something in a low voice, and then asked curiously: "However, there is still a mountain village in such a heavy snowfall?"
Tian Yan replied blankly: "A mountain village without living people."
“.”
The words fell, and suddenly there was no words.
"Such heavy snow makes life difficult for cultivators, let alone mortals."
Li Qingyan said softly, "I want to go to the mountain village to have a look. This lion and eagle will stay here, and it will look for food by itself."
Xu Yuan sighed and nodded.
Called Xiaobai who was practicing the Dianyuan Liuxing Jue in the corner of the attic, and dragged the soul-condensing strong man with Yuan Qi, and a group of four galloped along the mountainside towards the west.
After ten breaths, the place arrived, but what Xu Yuan saw was not a mountain village, but a mountain depression completely covered with snow.
Standing in the void, Tian Yan's lips and teeth are slightly open:
"wind."
The sound fell, the wind suddenly picked up, and the snow in the mountain pass fluttered, revealing the dilapidated stone houses below.
Mountain village houses are not gathered in one place, but three or two houses are gathered in one place and stretch for several miles to form a village.
Falling into the courtyard surrounded by the stone fence, Xu Yuan swept across the room with his mind, and said softly:
"No one, it seems that they should have gone out early to escape the snow disaster. I remember that the court issued a disaster evasion order at the beginning of the snow disaster"
"impossible."
Li Qingyan's light voice interrupted Xu Yuan, and sighed softly: "The imperial power does not go to the countryside, let alone this kind of mountain village. Judging from the layout of this family's home, it should be a hunter family. There is a high probability that they will not be able to survive, and they will escape by themselves." gone."
"The bodies of their family are all in the bear demon's cave."
Tian Yan interjected abruptly: "These mountain people cannot survive the natural disaster here."
Xu Yuan was silent for a while, and said:
"The people in the city are also having a hard time. A large part of the relief rations issued by the imperial court are disguised military rations. The food and clothing of ordinary people cannot be guaranteed for one meal a day."
Tian Yan glanced at the two of them, and said calmly:
"Xu Yuan, Your Highness, as high-ranking court officials, you two should be very clear about what mobilizing troops means to the people at the bottom at this time, right?"
