MTL - I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man-Chapter 194 Rebirth
South of Tianxing Mountain.
A group of people helped the old and the young and quickly ran across the highest east **** of the valley. Everyone's movements were as light and careful as possible, lest they disturbed the suppressed turbid gas below.
This is a request that Qin Nuo conveyed through Lin Jia before. Fast speed and light movement can ensure the safe passage of this mountain road.
After passing through the camp area where the people lived together, the procession was a bit scattered. Many people saw their relatives and friends and fell to the ground. They had become unconscious bodies. The crowd wept for a while, but it did not affect their pace.
The road in the valley was smoother than expected. After walking out of the mountain wall, almost everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the sound of weeping joy floated throughout the ethnic group.
The predicament that was supposed to die was undoubted, and finally escaped the calamity.
Equally cheering were those at the end of the road waiting for a response. Su Heng led thousands of cavalry. They were the follow-up troops sweeping the battlefield. They came back one step behind Tao Yunqing. They wanted to come to meet the people who left the valley. However, they found that the valley became a cursed place. The warriors fell to the ground one after another. Su Heng can only order the soldiers and horses to retreat, waiting outside.
Waiting for despair, I saw the people coming out on their own.
"It's all the goddess' guidance," said the elderly old man in the tribe.
Su Heng and others were also very excited. Although they were standing outside, they also heard the thunderous general loud noise and the miracle of the goddess coming.
It is obvious to the naked eye that after this setback, the faith of the goddess of cross will become the main belief of this tribe again.
But there is one more important thing than faith that makes Qin Nuo feel imminent.
In response to the soldiers and horses, the tribe quickly returned to Xuelie City.
After an overnight break, Su He, the main sacrifice, came to the door and invited Qin Nuo to the temple.
Qin Nuoben wanted to see the high priest, and when he heard the words, he set off immediately.
When he came to the temple, the high priest still looked like that, but the eyebrows were even more embarrassed. This elderly man was too old, after all, the intense emotional fluctuations and the journey were not a good thing for his body. Small burden.
When seeing Qin Nuo entering, the high priest retired all his servants, and even the faithful principal priest Su He retreated.
Inside the hall where the two stood facing each other. The high priest knelt respectfully.
"Thank the goddess for saving the lives of our people, and your rebirth, the entire Xuelie tribe cannot be repaid."
This experienced old man has guessed that the goddess who appeared on the mountain at the time was posing as himself.
Qin Nuo took a step back and waved his hand: "The high priest need not be so polite. It is the people of the noble tribes. The godly prayers and beliefs touched the goddess before the miracle of the coming of the true **** appears, presumably the people within the noble tribes are also Think so. "
The high priest looked up, although his eyes were tired, but bright and intelligent, "His Royal Highness, this is your reward and kindness to our tribe. We will always remember it."
"What is he calling himself?" Qin Nuo said for a moment.
After waiting for Qin Nuo to answer, the high priest continued to say, "Your Highness, you are noble and distinguished, and the knights you follow are outstanding and smart. If a subordinate soldier of the General of the National Grand Army has such a quality of soldiers, Mu ’s Wang Ting has long since calmed down the world, so why is there a chance for us to revive the Xuelie? "
The smile of the high priest carried a hint of slyness. "Before in Panluo City, that Zhongyue knew noble people, and saw you and a few of the leader's knights with outstanding looks. They guessed that they were the noble children who had been trained in the army, and even the accused. Born from Crane Camp. This stupid guy is an insult to Your Highness. Your countless cities and tribes have received orders to search for you, but they have never been able to find it. Because no one can predict that you have been modified to look good. A cavalry under the town's general. "
Qin Nuo was surprised first, and soon calmed down.
Recalling when he was trapped on the mountain before, the old man gave himself the map of the mountain and asked him to look after the actions of young people such as Tao Yunqing. At that time, he had already seen his identity. It just seemed as if he had entered a misunderstanding. He thought he was a female pretending to be men's.
After pretending to be the goddess of crossing the world, he confirmed this speculation even more. This can be regarded as clever instead of being clever.
"The Xuelie tribe never let go of their enemies and never owe their benefactors. After bearing the grace of His Royal Highness, they should be born and die for you and repay this grace. You can rest assured that as long as you are in the tribe, you and you The guards are safe and secure. "
"Thanks for the help of the High Priest." Qin Nuo smiled, be regarded as the default.
"This is not enough to pay back one thousandth of Your Highness's grace, and it is not enough to pay back the assistance and kindness of the Zhou people to us over the years." The high priest sighed.
To the surprise of Qin Nuo, the high priest continued to explain, "In fact, over the years, our Xuelie tribe has been dealing with merchants from the south. Our tribe can be restored so quickly, and a large part of it depends on the kindness of business travel in your country. The cold-tolerant plant crops planted in the valleys are still a gift from those in your country who travel north. "
The high priest paused and continued to bow his head and said, "A few years ago, when the Xuelie tribe was strong, he repeatedly harassed the borders of Da Zhou, fought fiercely with your soldiers and horses, and plundered slaves and wealth. Unexpectedly, after the decline, the tribes that once suffered from us end up coming to plunder, such as a group of greedy evil wolves. Instead, it was the hostile week, using kindness and friendship, to deal with us equally and trade minerals. "
"I have said so much, but please rest assured that even if you did not have this experience of saving the people in the valley, we will never let you be harmed."
The elderly man bent down deeply, solemnly promised.
Qin Nuo lowered his gaze. "The high priest's vision is the tribe's luck, and also the luck of our Da Zhou court."
The words of the high priest just now are very pleasant, full of charity and friendship, but at the same time they have a deeper meaning. The newly-revived Xuelie clan needs a backing and support, which is deeper than the sea. The Turbi people and the ruthless and greedy Mu family, the Southern Zhou Dynasty, were a more kind and reliable choice.
All it takes is the friendship of the Da Zhou Dynasty, which is a steady stream of supplies and all kinds of conveniences, and it also opens up a way for the tribe.
For the high priest and the Xuelie tribe, Ende and friendship are true, as are gains and back roads.
Of course, it is impossible for Qin Nuo to refuse to take the initiative to reach out to the front. Beishuo's territory is too vast. It is impossible in the short term to completely conquer. At present, supporting agents is the best choice.
However, these are long-term plans, and there is still an urgent matter to deal with.
This matter can't be solved, don't say any long-term plan, maybe even fill your life.
This is why Qin Nuo didn't want to rest and hurried to see the high priest.
The volcano is about to erupt!
From the continuously erupting gas to the more and more frequent underground roar, it clearly shows the coming of this crisis.
Qin Nuo briefly sorted out his thoughts and spoke out his most terrifying speculation.
"... According to the historical records of the noble tribe, there was an eruption here. It was more than three hundred years ago. After the eruption, the tribe moved here."
With Qin Nuo's words, the high priest's face gradually showed his fear.
"You mean, the entire area here will be swallowed by hot lava."
Qin Nuo smiled bitterly. "Not only here, but even more distant areas may be affected."
When he was trapped on the mountain before, he took advantage of the gap before departure to read the classics in the study of the temple, where there are many historical records of the beginning of the migration of the Xuelie tribe. Based on those descriptions, Qin Nuo can basically infer that the coverage of this volcano is extremely large. Not only the Xuelie City at the foot of the mountain, but even the more distant Pan Luo City, the Rising Sun City cannot be preserved.
These cities are located on the low-lying plains below the mountains. Once the magma gushes, the volcanic ash permeates, which will be the disaster of the entire area.
In fact, after four or five hundred years, there is not much population here in a barren shoal of sand and gravel. It was the volcanic ash from the last eruption that fell to the ground and accumulated into a thick soil layer, which greatly improved the ecological environment of the region. In just a few hundred years, multiple tribes will migrate here and reproduce. survive. Even more nourish the strong tribe of Xuelie.
Now that this volcano has been silent for hundreds of years, it will once again show its power of terror.
The high priest's face was full of fear, and he lived longer than ordinary people, knowing the terror once the volcano erupted. Volcanic eruption is not the most widespread magma, but suffocating volcanic ash and various poisonous gases, as well as the natural disasters that followed.
"According to His Royal Highness, how far is it from the day of the eruption?"
"I can't say for sure." Qin Nuo shook his head. Like an earthquake, a volcanic eruption cannot accurately determine the time in the future.
"But from several characteristics, this day should not be far off."
Knowing this bad news, the high priest couldn't even say hello to Qin Nuo, and he staggered and rushed into the apse. There is a map around the Xuelie tribe, and the territory outlined by the golden line above it once looked like the heyday of the Xuelie tribe.
The high priest's shaking hand was on Tiansheng Mountain, and then gradually moved from east to west, north and south, thinking about the way out of the tribe.
Only eastward!
After a while, without Qin Nuo's reminder, the high priest immediately deduced the best route.
The southern area is low-lying, all covered by the shadow of a volcano. The northern part is a continuous mountain range. The western part of the region is mostly occupied by the Mu family. The current Xuelie want to challenge the authority of the royal family. Praying arm as a cart.
Only heading east, there is a large area of land that was once the land of the Xuelie tribe, but is now occupied by the Turbi.
This is one reason why Qin Nuo rescued the Xuelie clans.
Moving east is their best option.
*************
In the city of Antu, as a newly captured city, the **** smell of the market has not disappeared. Although the corpses have been cleaned up, the remaining blood stains clearly show that before that, how terrible a war has been here.
After more than ten days of siege, a gap was opened in the eastern wall, and Da Zhou's soldiers stormed into the city in one fell swoop.
The original city main mansion has become the headquarters of the northern army coach.
The war came to an end. These days, the Northern Army took a short break in the city and was preparing for the next war.
The winter has passed, and it is still cold and windy here in the spring weather of Beijing in the big week. Especially in the dark night, the roaring wind penetrated the windows, blowing the oil lamp in the room indefinitely.
Sitting in front of the lamp, Pei Ye was looking through a secret letter.
Leader of the Perak camp, Dai Deyao, stood next to him.
"The urgent order from the palace, let us arrange a soldier and horse to go west to make it look like the success of the princess." Pei Yue put down the secret newspaper and said.
"That being said, the one is still safe. But where did people go?" Dade Yao said anxiously, "these few horses that went to the west a few days ago did not bring back the news."
Since the news of the World War I in Hanuguan Pass, the Northern Army has sent dozens of teams of elite horses in succession, all the way west and north, searching for the news of the 13 princesses and Pei Tuo and their party.
These days, two teams have been successfully hunted down. One of the Perak camp and one of the Pitung camp are soldiers who scattered and fought to protect Qin Nuo and his team.
A dozen people per team. From their mouths, Pei Yan and others already knew that at the end of the First Battle of Hanuguan Pass, the frame of Princess Thirteen was cut off. When she fled eastward, she encountered Pei Tuo and her party, and then the two sides joined forces to move on Already.
But wherever he fled afterwards, it seemed like a drop of water melted into the vast sea and disappeared completely.
They are discussing. Suddenly Cao Qi hurried over the door.
"General, terrible!"
He panicked and looked at Pei Yi, and said quickly: "General, Jiang Erpeng's team leader Erlang returned, and this time he rescued several soldiers in the Pidong camp. They were all in good condition and sent to the paramedics. Side. One of them seemed confused, and muttered in his mouth ... "
Cao Qi paused. It seemed that he didn't know how to describe the big news that shocked him.
Pei Ye looked indifferent, "Is that the emperor is in danger?"
"Uh? How does the general know?" Cao Qi stunned.
Pei Yi set aside her will and sighed.
Since the return of Yujia, although his party's contact with Gongzhong has not been broken, the confidential correspondence has suddenly reduced the frequency. The battle report sent by the Ministry of Defense Zhuo Xinwu was not unusual on the surface, and several of the words were particularly intriguing and repeatedly suggested. There is also a detailed explanation of the battle report sent by Li Yan. Recalling the remarks of the soldiers of the Pidong camp and the Perak camp that were rescued these days, it is not difficult to speculate that it was not the thirteen princesses but the emperor himself who was truncated and fell in the north.
Cao Qi calmed down, "The general already knew it." Then he was particularly annoyed. "This important event, the court wanted to conceal the general." Of course, it can also be explained as the fear of information leakage, which cannot be stated.
"The palace is afraid to have defense against the general," Dai Deyao said with certainty.
Pei Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly. He could understand this precautionary heart. In fact, now that the imperial veins are dying, if the emperor falls to the north and cannot return, no one will succeed, and the government will be chaotic. With hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, he fought out of battle and was unrestrained. No wonder the palace didn't want him to know the news.
"Since a military order has arrived, these days you will follow the command line. Deyao, you will lead 20,000 soldiers and march west to forge the success of the princess ..." Pei Yue simply stated the follow-up action plan.
Dade was ordered to leave.
Cao Qi wanted to follow, but stayed one step behind.
With his eyes narrowing around him, he lowered his voice.
"General, if the emperor is really trapped in the north, and cannot return ..." Beishuo is now crazy looking for the princess lost in the north, and it is difficult to guarantee what kind of news will be received tomorrow.
It can even go further. Now in the northern Xinjiang region, except for the Hangu Pass where the two armies confronted, the rest of the region are under their control, and they speak a dangerous word. In the current situation, they do n’t want anyone to go back, Can't go back.
Pei Yue lowered her gaze. "The emperor will return safely. You don't have to think about it."
Cao Qi was shocked inside.
Pei Yue commanded blandly: "Spread the horse broadly, go for more inspections, and Pei Tuo them."
When mentioning Pei Tuo, Cao Qi had another sorrow, not to mention the emperor. Peo Tuo and Yan Chang were still on the battlefield without any news. If Pei Tuo could not return ...
Cao Qi bowed his head and ordered to leave.
The room was quiet, and Pei Minxin turned on the lamp on the table, staring at the flaming flame. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but reach out to pick up another battle report on the table.
The white paper corners of the battle report are slightly curled, which shows the frequency of being read through these days.
This is a detailed report of the First World War in Hanguguan, including a description of the court's residence, a description of the northern army's horse exploration, and a detailed explanation written by Li Zhi.
Is it ridiculous that the court is still worried about his success? I don't know what else can surpass this battle after such feats. Should I feel comforted or uneasy?
The one who always surprises him, and the last words left in his ears ...
Holding the battle report, Pei Yi had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, but I did not know what it was like.
