twin moon

As the night passed, the blizzard finally subsided.Although there were still thick dark clouds entrenched overhead, at least General Yan and Luqiu Borong, who were not completely buried alive by the ice and snow, and their respective soldiers were able to escape.

The Red Flame Army and the Guan Ning soldiers also stopped fighting with each other.Although they quickly divided into two distinct teams after getting up from the thick snowdrift, the anger that had been on the verge of daggers had been extinguished long ago, and everyone was like seedlings beaten by frost, abandoning their armor and dragging their troops, dejected.

After counting the number of people, Jiang Yan arranged for the soldiers to rekindle the fire to keep out the cold, and at the same time ordered people to prevent the riders from digging out his dead mount under the snow that was as high as a person.It is these horses who understand human nature that save everyone's life.It's better to let him sleep forever in this ice and snow world, and no longer be disturbed by others.

However, it is obviously impossible for the army with many wounded to move forward immediately.Among the thousands of people, the old injuries suffered during the previous confrontation had not been effectively healed, and countless new injuries were added in the night of snowstorm.Frostbite is more difficult to heal than ordinary injuries. The fingers and toes of nearly [-]% of the soldiers are now as black as charcoal, without any feeling.Not to mention the large and small bleeding wounds left on their faces and bodies after the frozen brittle skin was torn apart.

But there is always luck in misfortune. The grassland people are not like the southerners who need a large number of civilians to transport food, grass and luggage.Each of them is a team of ten people, and they not only bring their own water, but also a light marching tent.It was these marching tents that once again saved everyone's lives at this difficult moment.

Jiang Yan cast his eyes on Luqiu Borong not far away, and found that the embarrassed Emperor Daxin was also looking at him.The two gave each other a wry smile in embarrassment. Although they didn't speak, they immediately understood what was in each other's mind, and then nodded in acquiescence.

The tent with the bonfire turned into gold on the ice field in a blink of an eye, which is extremely precious.Driven by the survival instinct, Guan Ning's military soldiers and Chi Yanjun also put aside the many conflicts that could not be reconciled with each other, and squeezed into the camps closest to them, not caring at all whether the people around them were compatriots Or interracial.

Jiang Yan and Lu Qiu Borong met again in the same tent, and there was no more grand pomp like before, and there was less of a barrier of mutual wariness.The two found a corner and sat down, looking at the warriors from both sides gathered around the bonfire to keep warm, filled with emotion.

"The ancestors would never have imagined that in this way, we successfully resolved the feud that had been formed for a hundred years without using any words."

Emperor Daxin looked at the dark-eyed young man in front of him and murmured.She suddenly felt that if she had married and had a child according to her father's arrangement many years ago, the son she gave birth to would probably be the same age as the other party.

The young He Han didn't say anything, he just played with a willow-leaf-shaped flat iron piece in his hand in a daze - it was originally a gold danglu tied in front of Wuchen's forehead, and the black iron was mixed with gold. It is the pattern, the white deer is on the top, the gray wolf is on the bottom, and the sun, moon and stars are in the middle. After the wedding, Tuya specially ordered a craftsman to make it.

But now, none of the people and horses related to this thing is in the world.And the young man who continued to walk alone left only endless pain and hatred in his heart.

"Have you ever noticed that the wind and snow suddenly weakened last night, and it seems that someone is secretly helping us."

The young man suddenly spoke, and Luqiu Borong immediately nodded:
"That's right. Fengxue seems to have consciousness, and it circles around us. But who can manipulate the weather, and why does he want to help us?"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yan suddenly clenched the palm holding Dang Lu, and the flesh on his cheeks moved up and down:

"It can only be that person!"

"I don't know who you are talking about?" Emperor Daxin asked again.

The young Hehan said awe-inspiringly: "It must be that Mr. Kun!"

Speaking of this name at this time, the only time he met the other party when he was in Yujing Yongyang Palace once again appeared in his mind.However, when he thought of it at this moment, he still felt a biting chill crawling up from his back, making his hair stand on end.

Luqiu Borong suddenly became confused.She couldn't figure out why that mysterious enemy who raised galloping wolves and tried to get rid of him at the Suoyang Pass, would come to his aid at a critical moment of life and death.

The young man spoke with certainty:
"It must be true. Except for Mr. Kun who turned the entire Dasheng, and even the entire grassland, into a pool of muddy water, who else in the world can have such a scheming, such a method? He is like a bird waiting for an opportunity." Viper, and we are all his prey!"

"What do you mean—he will save us on purpose? Why? Since he has such supernatural power and a pack of galloping wolves, what good is there to keep his enemies behind? Why don't we let us Fend for himself in last night's snowstorm, no one will stop him."

Luqiu Borong couldn't help frowning.From her point of view, this is a wrong move that has no benefit at all, but will bring endless troubles.

However, Jiang Yan does not think so:

"You are all political strategists who have exhausted all their means. It is impossible not to understand the so-called stratagem. It is to use the way of swaying and do everything. The place where the power of the ancestors is always hidden must be extremely dangerous. Then If we come down, the other party will probably use all means to force us to act according to his arrangement. Today, we have become the stones in his hands to explore the way!"

The young Hehan finally saw through Kunjie's scheme, and the emperor Daxin on the opposite side couldn't help but gasp.

While the two were talking, they heard an exclamation from outside the tent, followed by a heart-piercing scream that quickly went away, as if someone had encountered an accident.

"What happened off the account?"

The two exchanged glances, and immediately ran out of the tent one after the other, asking in unison.But I saw several puddles of blood on the ground, which looked like ink splashed on white paper under the night light.Near the bloodstains, there were scattered pieces of blood-stained armor and cloth.

"Yes, it's Chi Lang!"

I don't know whether it was due to nervousness or the cold, a Guan Ning military soldier in charge of the patrol responded trembling uncontrollably. The knife he was holding tightly in one of his hands had actually been broken in its sheath.

"What I expected was right, that guy surnamed Kun is near us now!"

Jiang Yan's complexion changed, "How many wolves are here? How many casualties?"

"There were only three or five wolves, and they attempted to kill, but took two of them away."

A Red Flame Army replied, his face pale as paper.

The young Hehan knew that [-]% of the weapons were destroyed in the previous confrontation between the two armies.Even if they are as brave as the soldiers and the Red Flame Army, they will still be uncontrollably afraid when facing those fierce beasts driven by lunatics.

"Bodu, where is Bodu? Immediately call a few brave brothers and come with me to save people!"

The black-eyed boy didn't hesitate for too long, and gave the order loudly.However, he shouted several times, but he didn't see Qianhu under his command coming out of the account.

"Among the two who were taken away by wolves, there may be the general you are looking for... He saved me from the minions of those wild beasts, and stabbed the back of one of the wolves with the iron rod at the end of the flagpole. leg!"

A wounded soldier staggered forward, weeping.

"Since they are injured, those beasts probably won't be able to run very far right now! Come to two teams of ten immediately and come with me to save people!"

Jiang Yan yelled, and saw more than a thousand Chiyan troops rushing out of each tent, and lined up in front of him with a huff.Seeing this, Luqiu Borong couldn't help being frightened by the well-trained grassland cavalry, and secretly admired their loyalty and bravery.

However, she stretched out her hand and gently pressed Hehan's wrist beside her:

"You said just now that Mr. Kun will do everything possible to make us act according to his ideas. How do you know that Chi Lang's sneak attack was not a trap deliberately set by the other party?"

Jiang Yan turned his head, looked into the other person's eyes, and spoke again after a moment of silence:
"I don't know. But the missing person is my comrade who was born and died together. Their life is like my own!"

After finishing speaking, the young man held the black-golden long knife upside down, and led the crowd to chase into the wind and snow along the bloodstains on the ice.Luqiu Borong, who was left behind, looked at his retreating back, but did not order the troops to follow. Instead, he put his hand into his bosom, and tightly clenched a bloodstained old silk fan:
"Fu Aiqing, let me be selfish for the last time. After all, it is recorded in the ancient scrolls found in Yongyang Palace that the power of the ancestors can even bring the dead back to life..."

On the vast ice field, General Yan, who led the Red Flame Army and the soldiers to part ways again, saw a few shadows straddling the ice in the night from a distance.

But the surrounding light was too dim, and he couldn't tell whether those shadows were wolves or humans.The young man who was eager to save people raised his knife and boldly stepped forward, but when he saw it, he was terrified.Because those shadows are nothing but the piles of residual limbs left after being torn and devoured by giant wolves.

Young and Han's hearts sank, only Dao Bodu and another soldier who was dragged away were in trouble.Just as he was about to withdraw his troops and go back, he heard bursts of high-pitched laughter coming from the depths of the empty ice field.

That laughter sounded miles away, but it was very clear in the silent eternal night, it was Bodu's voice!Jiang Yan immediately led the crowd to follow the sound, but he didn't think about what he saw, but it was horrifying.

Bodu was not eaten by Chilang.

Now, he is holding half of the leg bone of his dead comrade tightly in his hand, standing on the ice field, looking up to the sky and screaming.At its feet, there were three corpses of beasts whose throats were pierced by sharp stubble from the leg bones.

The prairie people were really brave. Bodu killed three giant beasts with his own strength, but he only suffered some flesh wounds, which were not fatal.Jiang Yan immediately roared, calling out the opponent's name.

Hearing someone's voice behind him, Bo Du just slowly turned around.It wasn't until this time that the young He Han noticed that his armor was soaked in wolf blood.Beads of blood rolled down to the feet, smudged on the ice surface, soaking the Zhangxu land under Qianhu's feet.

"so cold……"

Bodu's whole body trembled violently, causing the crimson armor to rub against each other, making strange creaking noises.

There was no cold wind blowing in the sky that could kill a person in an instant, but the blood on Bodu's body condensed into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then formed a dark red hard shell on his body .Even on the edge of the armor, slender icicles hung down.

"Light the fire! Get the hot water bladder!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yan immediately ordered to the left and right, while he rushed forward and grabbed the opponent's arm.Unexpectedly, Qianhu on the opposite side shook his hand away vigorously, and while stepping back, he started to untie the armor on his body:

"Dahehan, there is something weird in these wolf blood, don't get it on your body!"

Hearing this, the black-eyed boy subconsciously looked at the iron-fingered hand that he just touched.I saw the human blood stained on the palm, and countless white ice crystals formed in an instant.

He clenched his fists tightly, and when he looked up again, he saw that Bo Du had already removed all the blood-soaked armor from his body, and stood naked in the snow and ice.

Even so, however, it was too late.The wolf blood seemed to be alive, and it penetrated under his flesh early in the morning.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bodu's body quickly lost its blood color, and then gradually turned into a corpse-like bruise—the blood all over his body was completely frozen while speaking, and he stopped breathing in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, Jiang Yan also felt a tingling pain in his palm.He quickly lowered his head and removed the iron finger from his hand, and threw it far away.Fortunately, there was not much wolf blood on his hands, and he was not seriously injured.

"Where are you hiding, get out!"

Jiang Yan yelled at the ice field under the night, and besides being angry, there was a sense of powerless desolation.However, in the void, there was no one to respond at all.

After an unknown amount of time, the young He Han accidentally noticed that there seemed to be a dim light moving under the ice not far in front of him.The light and shadow change, blurry and difficult to distinguish, but if you look closely, you can find that the light group that alternates in strength and weakness actually reflects many figures running around the ground!

The young man immediately followed the direction of the figure in the light group, and only then noticed that there was a huge city half buried under the ice just a few miles away.Even though it was buried deep under the ice sheet, the city still exposed the tips of the skyscraper pillars on the ice, making the young man and his Red Flame Army stare dumbfounded.They suddenly realized that it was the city of the ancestors that they had been looking for all this time!
Before seeing this legendary city that had been frozen for thousands of years, the young Hehan had no way of judging whether the beasts that attacked the camp were lone wolves alone, or scouts sent by the enemy deliberately.However, at this moment, the young man felt faintly that maybe it was Mr. Kun who deliberately used the galloping wolf to lure him here.And his previous judgment was not wrong, the other party just planned to let himself and his soldiers be bait to eliminate dangers on the road leading to the ruined city buried under the ice!

However, before he gave the order to retreat, he heard a loud bang in the ice layer under his feet, and then the ground shook violently.From under the cracked ice crack, a strange blue-purple flame rose into the sky, rushing out of the ice as high as ten feet, illuminating the night sky and even the faces of everyone on the ice.
