Great Sui Guoshi

After seeing the face of the person who came, he hastily moved out of the way, waved his hands and urged his companions to open the gate, bowed down and stood beside him holding the weapon.

"Master, please!"

Yu Wentuo glanced at him, then strode forward with his cape lifted.

"Shi Wansui is in the back camp or the front camp?"

"Report to the grand master, the general is in the front camp."

The soldier followed into the gate and said with a smile: "The general sent someone to look for the grand master, so he stayed in the front camp and waited for the grand master to come back."

As he was talking, he also looked at the grand master striding forward wearing a cloak. He was only ten years old, and he came to the grassland by himself. Not to mention his superb martial arts skills, he would also provoke thunder and set fire. He killed seventeen in two months. There are more than 2 Turkic people in the tribe, and the imperial court even issued an order to confer the title of Grand Master of the East Palace and let General Shi assist.

I heard people say that Grand Master Yuwen also has a master, wouldn't that be even more powerful?

When he was about to reach the big tent of the front camp, the soldier ran forward quickly and opened the curtain for the guarding soldiers. Yu Wentuo nodded to him and walked in.

In the middle of the tent, a general looked good, with a majestic beard, walking back and forth in front of the table with his hands behind his back, glancing at the map hanging on the side from time to time, and seeing Yu Wentuo coming in, he stepped forward and arched his hands.

"The general will meet the Grand Master at the end."

"You're welcome, General."

Yu Wentuo untied Xuanyuan Sword and sat down on the table next to him, made a gesture of 'please', and said in a monotonous and calm tone: "The general called me back, what is the military situation?"

Shi Wansui, who was standing in front of the table, took a letter from the table, handed it to the other party with both hands, and then walked to the map, gesticulating with his fingers.

"The scouts came to report that the Turkic Great Khan Sabolo, who escaped before, has come again. Well... the grand master has killed too much in the past two months, which attracted his attention. The general thought that before his army came, we might as well Temporarily withdraw to avoid being besieged."

"How many people did he take with him?"

"Nearly [-]..."

Yu Wentuo picked up a glass of cold water, took a sip, and looked at the gloomy sky outside the tent, there were scattered snowflakes falling down.

He said softly:

"Just enough."

Not long after, the first snow fell in winter, covering the withered yellow grass sea, but the atmosphere on the entire grassland was oppressive, covering the crystal snow particles on the ground, and gradually shaking.

Countless iron hoofs flew, under the snowy sky, the desolate horn sounded, and the densely packed cavalry spread out endlessly, undulating like ocean waves.

woo~~

In the sound of the horn, the surging 'tide' slowly slowed down as a big banner stopped, and someone in front tightened the reins and stopped the horse.

"Shut up!"

Sha Bo called softly, narrowed his eyes, raised his hand from the cloak, and pointed to the vast distance of falling snowflakes.

"Sui man, is that him?"

The high priest who was following him hurried forward and followed the direction pointed by the Great Khan. A lone figure stood there, unable to see his face clearly, but from the other person, he could feel that the other person was also a cultivator.

"It wasn't enough that one died last time. Another one came to seek revenge. The Great Khan wait a moment. I will go and present his head to the Khan for viewing."

Around, the Turkic cavalrymen who stretched out in formation also saw figures in the wind and snow, fighting across the sea of ​​grass for a long time, and they had never seen a single person standing in front of an army, so they couldn't help laughing.

The high priest asked the attendants to bring a few young men and put them on the ground. He tore off the seals on the mouths of the men and began to practice.

On the back of the war horse beside him, Sabola glanced slightly, nodded with a smile and looked at the figure in the distance.

"People in the Southern Dynasty are really not afraid of death. This Khan will no longer compete with one person like before..."

The north wind stirred the fluff on his cloak, and the high priest who was doing the exercise next to him suddenly stopped, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?" for a moment.

In front of Yu Guang, the figure moved.

The next moment, turning around, the whole person stayed on the horse's back, and even the powerful high priest felt his scalp tighten under the felt hat in an instant.

In the field of vision, a golden light rushed into the sky.

Then, with the loudest voice in his life, he turned his head and shouted at the endless army behind him: "Flee!"

Turning the back of the roaring head, the golden light in the sky turned into a huge sword that pierced the sky and the earth, flashing countless strands of empty carvings, roaring down here.

boom--

The golden light stimulated a circle of air waves that spread in all directions, flattening everything.

Shi Wansui, who was standing on the top of the hill, opened his mouth slightly, and the wine cup in his hand clanged, fell to his feet, and rolled down the hillside.

'8 people...just like that? '

After recovering from the shock, Shi Wansui asked someone to write a letter and send it to Chang'an urgently for [-] miles. The horse galloped through the heavy snow along the official road going south, and then crossed the mountains and forests, entered Chang'an, and entered the imperial palace. , and soon, the news that there was a spell in it was covered up, and it spread from the imperial city again.

All of a sudden, the whole city of Chang'an became a sensation, and it quickly spread to all states.

......

The cold wind whimpered and blew through the mountains and forests, and the first snow fell on the stretch of Qixia Mountain, and the white foothills were covered with snow.

Chapter 398 The Woodcutter on Qixia Mountain

"There is something that the South may not know yet. I just heard it from a resting caravan two days ago."

The bonfire crackled and bounced sparks, floating out of the resting shop, horses neighing and donkeys neighing, people and visitors came in from time to time, shaking off the snowflakes, most of them were passers-by from three mountains and five mountains, and there were also vendors selling goods, temporarily in the shop. Drink here to keep warm, and wait for the snow to pass.

The guy who passed the wine and food yelled: "Guest officer, your hot wine, plus two servings of lamb, please use it slowly!" Put down the wine and a plate of dishes for the guests, return to the counter, and continue what the man said just now.

"Guest officer, what's the news? Let me tell everyone. Could it be that the Turks surrendered?"

On the other side of the fire, the thin black man who had spoken before rubbed his palms and let out a breath of white air.

"Brother, you really guessed right. The big battle at the beginning of the year was really won or lost by the previous month. I heard from the vendor that 8 Turks made a comeback, but they were ambushed by General Shi halfway, and almost all of them were beaten. The army was wiped out, and Sabolo had no chance to escape."

A few years ago, when Zhou and Qi were still there, the Turks were rampant and went south to plunder. Now they are beaten and defeated, and even the Great Khan is gone.

"Who is General Shi?"

"Hey, don't you know General Shi? Then we are a famous general of the Sui Dynasty! He also came when he attacked the Chen Dynasty. I heard that the first one to stand on the top of the city had arms as thick as a column head. Can you not be fierce? "

"It's no wonder that Sui can replace Zhou, it's really elated."

There was a echo in the store, after all, who doesn't want their country to be powerful, and they can stand upright and talk when they go out, but there is also a voice snorting from the corner.

"It's just a sneak attacking rat."

The person talking by the fire tilted his head, and the resting passengers around him also looked there. There were three people sitting at a square table in the corner, all dressed as green forest warriors. There were weapons in the corner of the table, and one of them was holding The wine bowl, with a grin on the corner of the mouth, the person who originally wanted to argue smacked his lips and sat back again.

Seeing that the people around them were afraid to speak, the three people snorted louder. The man holding the wine bowl stepped on the end of the bench and looked across the shop.

"...You are also considered to be from the Chen Dynasty. Your Majesty is still here. You all call yourself from the Sui Dynasty. Are you worthy of the late emperor? If it weren't for the Northern Sui Dynasty's devious attack on crossing the river, you might not have been able to get ashore, and even win over Xiao Moke. Bandit, if it wasn't for him, how could the Sui soldiers come to rule the city?"

The companion next to him pulled his hand and motioned to stop talking, and the man suppressed his anger just now, picked up the wine and ate meat with the two companions.

There was a moment of silence in the store, with these three Green Foresters present, the others did not dare to talk about what happened just now, and some people changed the topic.

"By the way, I heard that Qixia Mountain Lu Lang got married a few days ago."

Most of the passers-by and vendors who rest in this store have passed by here, so they have naturally heard this name, and some of them are still familiar with it. Someone next to him brought a bowl of wine and sat by the fire.

"Brother, your news is all in the Year of the Monkey, and Lu Lang is not married."

"Not married? My brother came back last month and said that Lu Liangsheng was married, and even delivered drinks to Lujiacun with his own hands."

Around, there are also people who walk the mountain road of Qixia Mountain all the year round, and testify for that person.

"It really didn't work. I heard that it was to lure a monster out, so I pretended to be a relative. Many people saw it that day, so it can't be fake."

The three green foresters at the square table in the corner looked at each other when they heard the words 'Qixia Mountain Lu Lang', put down their drinks, and listened with their ears sideways.

.......

"Monster? There are still monsters who dare to go to Lujia Village? Don't die."

"Let's not say that Lu Lang descended from the stars in the sky, and his mana is superb. The eight big men in Guangcun are enough for those mountain spirits and foxes to eat a pot. Thinking of that body, tsk tsk... Let me have a sip of wine first."

"That is to say, Wang Banxia from Fushui County is considered a master of Taoism. If he calculates it correctly, he also worshiped Lu Lang as his teacher? I heard that there are three apprentices. Have you seen it?"

"I've heard of two of them, and they seem to be in Chang'an."

Speaking of the north, the thin black man who was talking stopped talking, and subconsciously looked at the three green foresters. He was afraid of offending the other party, and seeing that the other party did not respond, he lowered his voice and continued:

"I heard that they are all officials in the capital."

The wind and snowflakes blew in, and the people at the bonfire at the frozen door hurriedly avoided. The three people at the table in the corner saw that the snow outside was a little lighter, so they paid for the meal, hugged everyone in the store, put on coir raincoats, Holding a weapon and braving the wind and snow, I walked to the white mountain road.

"The Mr. Lu we are looking for is probably this Lu Lang."

"It should be that if His Majesty said Qixia Mountain, there will be no second one."

"What Lu Lang, Mr. Lu, I heard that they even accepted Sui people as apprentices, hum, I despise him!"

The person who said this was the green forester who held the wine bowl in the store. They came from the southwest direction. To reach Lujia Village in Qixia Mountain, they had to climb a mountain and go to the junction of Tongling County and Fushui County. .

"Your Majesty and Mr. Chen will also come here in two days, so you should say a few words, and be careful not to make His Majesty unhappy."

"Oh, I got it, I got it, let's go!"

The man waved his hand impatiently with the knife on his back, and walked on the vast snow-covered road. The fluttering snowflakes gradually stopped, and the snow that the three of them walked left behind a series of footprints, which stretched across the front The mountains, but the snow is too heavy, and the road that should be there is impossible to see. The further you go, the more desolate, and all you can see is a vast expanse of white.

Occasionally, there is the rustling sound of falling snow accumulated on the branches, which makes people feel palpitations.

"We seem to have lost our way."

Among the three, the middle-aged man with a relatively honest appearance looked at the sky and the map in his hand, and then looked around. In the snow and ice, it was so white that it was difficult to distinguish the direction.

Do we have to wait for the sun to tilt before going north and south?

After the other two got drunk, their mouths felt parched, they put a hand full of snow into their mouths, melted it and swallowed it, and looked around in a daze.

The younger swordsman simply took off his shoes and threw them into the air, pointing in the direction the toes of the shoes were facing.

"Just go in this direction."

At this moment, the man holding the map raised his head, as if he was listening to something, turned around to look around for a while, and then asked his companion in a low voice.

"Did you hear anything?"

The other two stood in place and listened carefully for a while, and they seemed to have heard it too. It was vaguely like a man's voice singing, but they couldn't hear it completely, and they didn't know the words, but the tune was very comfortable.

"Anyway, I'm lost. It's better to follow the direction of the singing and ask the way to get out of this mountain."

Together, the three of them climbed up a mountain ridge to the east in the direction of the faint singing, and the snow fell in the forest, and when they got closer, there was still the sound of copper bells.

"...According to the door to look forward to the return of the old man, when I wake up from a dream, white strands fall on my shoulders..."

An old donkey wagged its tail and kicked its hoofs excitedly in the snow. A pair of copper bells jingled under its neck. The three of them looked over the snow-covered bushes. There was a sound of firewood, a young man in green cloth and linen clothes, with a Futou on his head, was holding a hatchet to shave off the firewood, split it into two roughly, and tied it separately.

"A woodcutter."

"Just asking for directions."

The old donkey playing over there shook his ears, heard the sound of footsteps creaking in the snow, turned around and grunted twice, and the woodcutter also stopped his work. In front of him, three people walked over, with strong figures. , all with guns and knives on their backs, and wearing close-fitting warrior robes.

The first person, with a loyal face, saw the woodcutter looking over, arched his hands and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, little brother, the three of us have no malicious intentions, we just came here to ask for directions."

On the opposite side, the woodcutter looked at the three of them and nodded.

"It's icy and snowy, and it's normal to get lost. I don't know where the three are going?"

The three of them looked at each other when they heard this. The woodcutter looked like he was talking to people in the mountains. One of them said, "Just ask... how to get to Honglian Temple? We came to worship the temple."

"Honglian Temple? Well, my house happens to be nearby, and I've almost got enough firewood. You three might as well come with me."

After finishing speaking, the woodcutter called the donkey over there, lifted up three bundles of firewood and carried them on both sides, took the reins and walked to the front, and the three green foresters followed without hesitation, and their eyes were on the three sides. The communication between people generally means: 'If this guy has any malicious intentions, just do him right away! '

Chapter 399 The Earth Is Round

The mountain road winds and stretches in a vast expanse of whiteness, branches hang down in the forest, heavy snow falls to the ground, and a donkey's hoof steps on it, leaving hoof prints.

Dingling jingling copper bells reverberated, and the old donkey with its mane waving rolled its tongue to lick the snow in the grass by the roadside.

The three people who were more than ten steps behind were staring closely at the back of the woodcutter. From time to time, they also looked at the cliffs outside the mountain road. The snow-covered steep hanging rocks, if you look at it in your spare time, the scenery is quite unique.

After following the woodcutter for a while, his tense expression relaxed a little, and he began to chat and talk along the way.

"The woodcutter, with such heavy snow, he is not afraid of falling off the cliff even if he goes out to gather firewood."
