Chitose words

Chapter 429 Frontier Fortress
Eight months later.

The sunset was as red as blood.

Xie Zhaozheng was cooking in the northwest wind on top of the city.

Unexpectedly, after taking a bite of the dirty half of the cornbread in his hand, the messenger soldier ran away quickly, shouting as he ran:
"——Chitose! Repay!"

Xie Zhao immediately took three mouthfuls and two mouths at a time, then forcefully stuffed the cold, stiff, hard half of the woofou into his throat three times and two times.

She chewed and swallowed at the same time, without even drinking water. She was really a cruel person.

"What's the matter?"

The messenger soldier loudly reported back: "I am reporting to Chitose, the soldiers have been working all night to repair the damaged half of the outer wall of the North City Frontier Fortress."

Xie Zhao's voice was a little hoarse.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After finishing speaking, she murmured to herself again:

"However, the wall that has just been repaired and filled may not be of much use under the Northern Dynasty's 'Mighty Dragon Cannon'."

After standing on the city wall for a day, when the war started, everyone just shouted.

Nowadays, Xie Zhao's internal strength is not good enough. Speaking while standing on the city wall naturally relies on his vocal cords instead of his abdominal cavity, so it is strange that his voice is not hoarse.

At such a close distance, the messenger naturally heard her words. He hesitated and said:

"Chitose, General Zhou Shen just said that I'm afraid the wall won't be able to be dried through tomorrow!

If the Northern Dynasties take advantage of this opportunity and attack with their useless artillery, I'm afraid our newly repaired city wall will be in danger again. "

Eight months ago, the people of the Northern Dynasties were just testing the reality of their borders with the Southern Dynasties.

Be careful when taking action and don't dare to go too far.

They attacked the Tianchen Dynasty with the ridiculous excuse that the "profiteers" of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty were making money unethically in the Northern Dynasty by taking advantage of the rare goods in their hands, and forced Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty to completely open up trade.

He also made the rude request that the eight imperial merchants in the Tianchen Huainan region must transport goods to the Northern Dynasty for sale at the same price as in the Southern Dynasty.

You know, businessmen are in business to make profits and make money.

The cost of transporting goods from north to south is extremely high, and most of the precious items are damaged or damaged on the road.

Therefore, merchants from the Southern Dynasties spent a lot of effort and manpower, borne trade tariffs, and took countless risks. Naturally, the price of the goods shipped to the Northern Dynasties could not be the same as that sold locally in the Southern Dynasties!
Hanyong of the Northern Dynasty clearly knew that Tianchen of the Southern Dynasty was determined not to surrender his power and humiliate the country by agreeing to their unreasonable demands, otherwise it would chill his own subjects, but he still insisted on this request, which was obviously intentional.

Sure enough, after the Tianchen Temple of the Southern Dynasty officially rejected the request of Han Yong of the Northern Dynasty, a vigorous war between the North and the South that had been away for more than ten years began tentatively again.

In the early stages of this war, the Northern Dynasty's offensive was relatively conservative.

Tianchen Langya Pass in the Southern Dynasty has been managed by the Xie family of Xunyang for hundreds of years. It has long been in its own line and is impregnable. It has been at its peak in the early stage.

In addition, Princess Tianchen personally visited the frontier to boost morale, and Peng Xiao of Langya Pass worked hard and actively prepared for war. Therefore, the situation in Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty was very good for a long time. Even in the Southern Dynasties, most people in temples and among the people felt that this battle would not be fought in a real sense.

Although Princess Tianchen came to Langya Pass, she did not personally participate in the war or go to the battlefield.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the peerless masters of the Southern Dynasties did not participate in this secular dispute between countries.

The "Chitose Sword Immortal" only defended the city to boost morale, while the "Shintai Priest" stuck to the Zhaoge Shentai Palace. Therefore, the "Sword Immortal Tomb" Fuji Castle in the Northern Dynasties naturally remained stationary.

Of course, although everyone with a brain knows that, just by looking at the Yuwenbu jumping most cheerfully in this battle, we know that it is most likely the Yuwenbu, the leader of Hanyong's thirty-six divisions, who is secretly leading the war.

Fortunately, Yu Wenxin, the eldest son of Prince Xing of the Yuwen Department, the "Lone Wolf Sword Immortal", has been hiding behind the scenes to hide his merit and fame, and has not publicly joined the war.

But this is also reasonable.

——Because for thousands of years, the world's peerless masters have long been reluctant to disturb the secular order. This is an established rule among these top martial arts masters in the world.

Thousands of years ago, a shocking tragedy occurred.

A peerless master from a certain dynasty was ordered by the emperor to take the life of the enemy emperor in the inner courtyard of the palace. Later, in order to avenge the shame, the enemy dynasty actually used a martial arts secret book that had been collected by the royal family for generations to invite another peerless master to take action. He used his methods to retaliate against others, and then killed the emperor and empress of that dynasty, avenging the emperor of his own country.

As a result, the two big countries were in a melee, and the new emperor was young, and the young king was doubtful.

Later, after the two sides fought for decades, their national strength became weaker and weaker, and both of them fell.

Later, the heroes competed with each other, which led to the rise of the Tianchen Fu clan in the Southern Dynasty and the Tuoba clan in Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty.

Therefore, since then, both the secular royal family and the peerless master of martial arts have understood that there is actually no good for a peerless master to be too tainted with everything.

Moreover, for most martial arts practitioners, getting too involved in worldly matters will only tarnish the Taoist Heart and Sword Heart and stagnate the martial arts realm.

——Of course, except for people like Xie Zhao, who have been born with exquisite bodhicitta for hundreds of years.

Therefore, most of the existence of peerless masters in each country only serves as a deterrent, warning other countries not to act maliciously and recklessly.

But when it comes to pulling the plug and actually using force to violently kill the emperors of other countries, there are almost no peerless masters.

Not only because the endings of the two previous dynasties are the best lessons for the future; but also because once a peerless master takes the lead and openly breaks the balance between countries and the martial arts world, it will inevitably lose its morality.

On the one hand, being criticized by other martial arts masters, but on the other hand, using force to bully those who have no grievances and no grudges also loses the dignity of a martial arts master.

Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, no matter what "Lone Wolf Sword Immortal" Yu Wen believes in his thoughts, he will not openly participate in the war. At most, he will only make troubles behind the scenes.

Because of this, in this battle between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the masters of both sides never really joined the battle, and the initial friction on the border between the two countries was only a minor fight.

However, until six months ago, it was said that a humble sword slave next to Yu Wenyi, the second young king of the Yu Wen Department, found an ancient scroll deep in the Arruo Grassland by chance!
That ancient scroll actually recorded in detail the production method of an ancient machine-expanded cannon!

Since then, the Northern Dynasty has become even more powerful, and its ambitions are no longer concealed!
Not only did the offensive become more fierce, but the "Mighty Dragon Cannon" in the past two days actually broke through half of the outer wall of the north city of Langya Pass!

This has never happened in ten years!
