There was an inscrutable smile on Luosh's lips, and he didn't answer me. He just sat on the floor, looking at the barbecue sizzling on the fire, and suddenly said: "You were not used to eating barbecue before, but now it seems

, you are used to it."

I frowned: "Habit is just a kind of helplessness, it does not mean that I like it."

He sneered: "Once you get used to it, you no longer know whether you like it or not. You should get used to it."

When I heard this, I looked up at him. Losch took out his dagger and cut off a piece of meat and ate it. Then he clapped his hands and said, "You should also eat more. After this meal, the next one will come."

The way down is not so easy."

My expression changed and I looked at him in astonishment. I saw his eyes slowly moving to the other end of Yunling, to the north.

I also slowly turned my head and looked over.

Here, it is already the extreme north, and the Yunling Mountains that stretch for dozens of miles have reached the end. I raised my head and passed through the thick mist in the mountains at dusk. I could vaguely see a place far in front of me. There seemed to be something there.

A tall shadow.

The mist slowly dispersed, and it turned out that there was another mountain range lying in front of it, lying on the grassland, and the incomplete ruins on the mountain range were the Great Wall that had resisted countless foreign invasions. But because the Pei family went south to seize

After taking over the Central Plains regime, the entire border line was moved much further north. It was very easy for people from Shengjing to enter the Central Plains before this war, and the Great Wall lost its role in resisting foreign enemies.

But now, seeing the Great Wall in the vast wilderness, I feel an indescribable feeling of panic.

This place is also different from other places. These are two sections of the Great Wall. In the center of the mountain, there is a strange peak protruding, towering into the clouds. The Great Wall could not be built and was cut off abruptly. However, because of its height, it became an ideal defense against foreign enemies.

Natural barrier.

However, that strange peak is too high, and the weather gets colder as you go further north. The top of this mountain is covered with white ice and snow, and it looks chilly from a distance.

Luo Shi said: "That is Tianzi Peak."

Tianzi Peak...?

I muttered these three words, and it turned out to be as steep and domineering as a mountain. But for some reason, I had a strange feeling about this place. I turned to look at him and said, "We want to cross this mountain?"

"Behind Tianzi Peak, do you know where it is?"

"...Shengjing."

"That's right." Luosh nodded, stood up and looked towards the dangerous mountains. From his eyes, I saw unparalleled arrogance and full self-confidence. It seemed that everything in the world could be achieved as long as he wanted to.

At your fingertips.

Although I still don’t know what he wants, the uneasiness in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.

The next day, we climbed over the mountains.

Except for the towering Tianzi Peak, the Great Wall on the mountains is just an ordinary ruin without garrison guarding it. It is not difficult to cross there, but I found that after we passed the Great Wall, Luoche was nearly half

The army stayed here to garrison the Great Wall!

I wonder if this is an irony. The Great Wall, which was once used to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, is now being used by foreign enemies.

When I was going down the mountain, I kept looking back and looking at the mountains under the setting sun. The golden sunset coated the broken walls with a layer of gold, making them appear thicker and more ancient. Among them, I saw something.

An inevitable decline.

That evening, we arrived in Shengjing.

Because I arrived at night, I did not see the whole view of Shengjing, but the towering city wall still cast a shadow in the night like a crouching lion, showing the aura of a grassland overlord. Even the palace here, although there is no imperial palace in the capital,

The pavilions and pavilions are magnificent, but they also have a majestic and majestic appearance.

I was taken into the palace by the people from Butu, where I freshened up a bit and lost the fatigue and dust from walking through mountains and ridges these days. Their maid put me into clothes handed down by people from Shengjing, and then I was taken to the palace.

Brought to the entrance of a large hall.

This hall is majestic, with dancing candlelight shining through the large open door. As soon as I walked past, I heard an old man's voice coming from inside: "You actually retreated like this? An army of 400,000 people returned without success.

, is this the purpose of your sending troops this time?"

I heard for a moment that this person was talking to Luosh. It seemed that he was a person with more status than him.

There should not be many people like this in Shengjing. I walked slowly to the door and looked inside. Luo Shi had also put on another set of black gown, with a tight belt and a neat collar.

His jaw is as strong as a rock, he has the waist of a wasp, and his body is strong. He is sitting in the seat with one leg casually on the chair, like a cheetah, elegant but dangerous.

Standing in front of him is a man with gray hair. He looks very old, but he is tall and strong. He seems to be a good martial arts practitioner even when he is young.

Losch was sitting in a chair, playing with something with both hands. Listening to the old man's reproachful words, he slowly raised his eyes and curled his lips: "Why should my father be so angry?"

Father?! This old man is—what Pei Yuanhao said back then, the Iron Arrow King among the Eight Heavenly Kings of Shengjing!

The Iron Arrow King said: "How can I not be angry? You think the dispatch of 400,000 troops is so easy. You don't know how much food and grass have been consumed in more than a month. If you return without success, how are you going to treat the others?"

Your Majesty, tell me?"

"Why should I explain to them, let alone-" He sneered: "Even if I explain, how many of those mediocre people will understand."

"You——"

"Father." Luo Shi raised his head and said with a smile: "I know that the lack of taxes in Jiangnan will make life difficult, but I always feel that just taking things from other people's hands would be too boring.

It’s your own, that’s what makes it interesting.”

My heart was shaken when I heard that. Even the Iron Arrow King seemed to be shocked. After a while, he slowly said: "Even so, if you withdraw like this-"

"Of course I have my own reasons for withdrawing the troops. What's more, I found what I wanted this time, so why not give them some time to relax?"

"What do you want? What do you want?"

As the Iron Arrow King said, he seemed to suddenly hear my breathing. He turned around and saw me standing at the gate, holding on to a thick pillar with one hand, looking at them in astonishment.

This old man is over fifty years old, with a dark and rough complexion, and a pair of eyes that are still bright and clear. He can still see the sharpness of the former "Iron Arrow King". His appearance is very similar to that of Luo Shi, but the young son is more domineering.

, in comparison, he is already in his twilight years.

When he saw me, he was immediately startled. He looked me up and down, then turned back to Lose and said, "Is this what you want?! A woman?"

Luosh looked up at me and sneered.

Iron Arrow King even said angrily: "A woman, there are no women on the grassland, and you just for a woman, actually——"

"Father, there is no need to be angry," Luosh lowered his head. The object he was playing with on his fingertips was illuminated by the candlelight, and a golden light flashed past my eyes. He said lazily: "I have said before that others may not understand what I want. Father,

You, the king, don’t understand either.”

"You——!"

The Iron Arrow King gasped with anger, but facing such a son, he had no room for action. He could only wave his sleeves fiercely, turned around and walked away. When he passed by me, he gave me a fierce look.

.

I watched Iron Arrow King leave angrily, and his back quickly disappeared into the night. Then I slowly turned around, looking at the lazy but dangerous figure in the hall, and walked in slowly. When I walked to

When he was in front of him, he finally saw clearly that what he was holding was a golden dart!

Huang Tianba’s golden dart!

When I spoke, my voice was a little hoarse: "You are deliberately leading them to send troops."

Lose looked up at me.

"You clearly knew that the emperor could not exchange Nangong Lizhu for me, but you deliberately offered such conditions, waited for him to refuse, and then you withdrew your troops. You deliberately led them to send troops and lure the enemy deeper."

"..."

"You are here for——"

"This is not a clever strategy," he interrupted me, his falcon-like eyes shining shrewdly in the dim light: "It's just that if he wants to come, no one should be able to stop him.

Live."

"..." I just felt cold on my fingertips, and all the blood in my body was frozen by this night.

I have been speculating on other possibilities, maybe because of tactics, maybe because he has other intentions, but no matter from which aspect, I have not guessed this possibility, because I don’t want to believe it, and because I don’t dare to believe it.

Anger couldn't help but ignite in my heart.

I was staring at him angrily, and suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, and I remembered what he just said——

I naturally have my reasons for withdrawing my troops. What's more, I found what I wanted this time...

He found what he wanted, but it was just an accident, but it was not the real reason for this withdrawal, and his real purpose has not been revealed yet!

I suddenly raised my head and stared at him: "Besides him, what other purpose do you have?"

Luo Shi looked at me with a sneer and said nothing.

And when I looked at his smile, I felt more and more panicked. The 400,000-strong army returned without success. What a plan. But if this is the price, then what he is plotting is a far bigger plan than this! <

/p>

What was that time?!

The war in Dongzhou City continues, with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood flowing. When I think that the scene may spread from Dongzhou, all the way south, maybe the entire China and the hinterland of the Central Plains will fall into such a situation, I just feel like my whole body is trembling.

Loudly said: "What on earth are you going to do?!"

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and strangled me by the neck.

"Ah - uh, uh -!"

It was difficult for me to breathe, and I tried my best to squeeze his hand, but I couldn't move the steel-like fingers at all. He looked at me coldly and said, "I thought you were not that first-rate mediocrity, and you were of some use to me."

, so I have always been very polite to you, but you have to know that there are not many people who can make me really want to stay."

"Uh-uh--!"

"So, before my plan succeeds, you'd better not let me give up your shortcut."

I just felt that my eyes were going dark, and his voice sounded like it was coming from a deep, dark valley. Just when I was about to faint, rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind: "Prince!"

Luosh's hand loosened and let go of me, and I suddenly fell to the ground, covering my neck and coughing hard.
Chapter completed!
