Chapter 429 The Trouble of the World (Part [-])
In the northern part of Longdan Mountain, the maple leaves are red in autumn. There are many pavilions and water pavilions on the mountain. In addition, the Shuangjiang Palace sits at the entrance of Longxing, blessed with the wind of the emperor, making this place the favorite place for literati and high-ranking guests in the past. Therefore, the mountain There are many roads, and they are very smooth. There are many Xishan Mountains that can directly lead to Yuanhe Zongmen and Shuangjiang Palace.

Now the world is icy and snowy, covered with winter snow, Shen Lie is standing on the edge of the cliff, there are several small villages at the foot of the mountain, and there are two Wangjiang towers built a hundred years ago.

The Wangjiang Building under Shen Lie's feet was an addition when the Shuangjiang Palace was repaired. The former Emperor Mingtai named it Qitian Building.

Overlooked from a high place, Qitian Tower occupies a vast area, divided into three courtyards by the building complex, the layout is exquisite, with clear corridors, twenty miles to the south of Qitian Tower, it is almost the Shuangjiang Palace.

Du Xuan saw him when he passed by, and said, "Master."

Looking back, Shen Lie saw a few kettles in his hands, and said, "A hundred steps to the west, there is a source of clean water, and I have already cut through the ice."

"Okay." Du Xuan nodded, but he didn't leave immediately, and turned his head to look forward.

The vast river in front of you is covered with ice for thousands of miles, and the view of the world is extremely vast. On the other side of the river, there is a vast expanse of silver and white. When winter turns to spring and the frost and snow melt, there should be stretches of fertile fields here.

"So happy!" Du Xuan couldn't help saying.

Shen Lie smiled handsomely and said, "Yes."

"It's no wonder there are so many literati in Qitian Building who come to write poems and inscriptions. Standing here, sharing the world, the mood is really wide and comfortable!" Du Xuan laughed, "I really want to drink now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes saw a small group of cavalry, about twenty people, slowly walking on the long road in the distance.

"Li's cavalry." Du Xuan said.

"This is the third one," Shen Lie said, "It's only been two."

"It's really powerful," Du Xuan sneered, "Li's cavalry."

The night before was their first fight with Li's iron cavalry. If they hadn't made the first move and attacked first, and the opponent was seriously scattered, they might not have been able to even retreat last night.

This army, which is more absolutely obedient to the Li regime than the Xuanwu army, was trained, supported, and protected by the Li family.

Over the years, the Beiyuan War dragged down dozens of aristocratic families in Daqian, and the entire army was wiped out not only the Dingguo Mansion.

Accompanied by the erection of the longevity monuments of the Zhonglie Temple one after another, those who fell behind were family soldiers.

However, Li's iron cavalry was intact.

With the best combat equipment and the most essential training and command system in the entire Daqian, these young warriors of the new batch of Li's iron cavalry swung their butcher knives at the weak and unarmed refugees on the Guhuai Plain.

Now, they are riding on mighty tall horses and dressed in military uniforms, walking slowly on the road to Shuangjiang Palace, majestic and majestic, this kind of majesty was bestowed by the supreme ruler of Daqian.

"If this army can be sent to Beiyuan, I don't know how many barbarians can be killed." Du Xuan said.

"This army," said Shen Lie, "will become a disaster for the world in the future."

"The trouble of the world?" Du Xuan said, paused, and nodded slightly, "I understand, the world has been torn apart, and Dagan is gone."

But the Li family will never quit so willingly, they will definitely make a comeback and fight for the world again.

Then this Li family cavalry is the best sword of the Li family.

"Young master," Du Xuan said again, "it seems absurd for the emperor to withdraw from the capital, but is he actually advancing by retreating?"

Shen Lie didn't speak, but looked at those Li's cavalry.

Du Xuan looked around, only to realize that the other party had stopped and was looking up at them.

Across the huge floating space, the distance between the two sides is more than a hundred feet, and they are both a little weaker in the eyes of each other.

Du Xuan was taken aback, and said, "Will they come up?"

"will not."

"We were found."

"It's okay," Shen Lie said, "The two teams that passed by just now also found me."

Du Xuan: "..."

"Then, what should we do? We've all been spotted. If we go over this time, our actions will definitely be disadvantageous."

Shen Lie smiled, took a look at Du Xuan, and said: "We killed six people the night before yesterday, which is enough for them to be on guard. It doesn't matter if they find us or not."

"That's right," Du Xuan said, "That's the reason."

He shook the kettle in his hand: "I'll fetch water first, so as not to freeze again."

"Ah."

The cavalry really didn't come up.

The leading team was looking away, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and said, "Let's go."

A few soldiers passed by and looked up again, but saw that the man on the far mountain had no intention of hiding at all, and was still there, motionless.

"Don't worry about it," said the captain, "let's go."

After all, I can't even think about it, the distance is too far, and they are on the high mountain of Baizhang.

Shen Lie watched them leave, brows slightly closed.

There is always a feeling in my heart that Li's cavalry will meet again in the future.

The hot water and hot soup are cooked, and the dry food is also slightly heated against the pot. In addition, there are some meat dishes.

Dai Yu really wanted to divide his food into two portions, but Shen Lie stopped him and asked him to give a new portion to the woman.

The woman thanked her repeatedly and devoured it hungrily.

Shen Lie glanced at the child beside her, then looked at Du Xuan: "Let's make some porridge."

Du Xuan paused and said, "Master, I don't have much rice..."

"It's okay." Shen Lie said.

Du Xuan had no choice but to nod, and got up to get the millet.

The woman's eyes were red, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Some meat was added to the rice porridge. Du Xuan considered that the child might have been hungry for a long time, so he didn't cook much and it was very thin, so as not to make the child's stomach upset.

Dai Yu watched from the side as the woman fed the doll spoon by spoon. The doll, who had been quiet all the way, probably had her mouth burned, and suddenly cried loudly.

Terrified, the woman quickly put down the spoon and covered the child's mouth with her hand.

"Don't cry, don't cry!"

The child was still crying and wailing.

In a panic, the woman raised her hand and patted her mouth: "I told you not to cry!"

"Hey!" Dai Yu hurriedly reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Why hit her, what do children know!"

"Master..." Du Xuan looked at Shen Lie who was looking at the map.

The woman also looked at Shen Lie, very scared.

"I've already gone up the mountain," Shen Lie said looking at the map, "The road to Yuanhe Zongmen is all mountain roads, so there shouldn't be any chasing soldiers."

"But it's better not to cry too loudly," Du Xuan followed up, looking at the woman, "It's too noisy, and your ears are noisy."

"Yes, yes." The woman hugged the child tightly, raised her hand to pat her on the back, and softly coaxed her.

Dai Yu was a little worried, came over and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you really all right?"

"Well," Shen Lie nodded, paused, raised his eyes to look at Dai Yu, "you don't have to feel embarrassed, since I agree to take her with you, you don't have to worry about it."

Dai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, then I'll go and pack up my things, we can leave after we rest."

"it is good."
