It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 173

Qingzhou, a city in the sky.

There is a lot of water in the sky. This place faces the sea and the river. The fishing industry and the boat industry are very developed. Because it is very far from the border, it is not like the bitter and cold land of Youzhou, which is often harassed by the Rong tribe.

But when Fang Boshan arrived here, far away from the Rong family, it was still difficult for him to be happy.

The city owner of Tianyi City and him are old acquaintances. Tianyi City is very close to Ye Yecheng. The two sides also have a lot of business contacts, and the relationship is usually good. This time, Fang Boshan fled here because he wanted to defect to the other party. After the Rong tribe had killed enough and grabbed enough, he would go back and be his own city lord.

But after a few days, the feeling is not very pleasant.

The other party also performed the friendship of the landlord, and invited himself to have a few meals. During the banquet, he said: "Your brother came to defect to me, and naturally keep you safe. We have a big business here, and you have more mouths." Of course, there is a big family and a big family. There are hundreds of people who want to eat when you open your eyes. You will definitely understand this kind of difficulty, bro.

Understand, Fang Boshan doesn't understand something, since he came to defect, how can he not give the other party a little benefit.

One ingot of gold today, one ingot of silver tomorrow, the lady of pearl jade must also like it, take it, take it...

Dude, I'm so embarrassed, but to be honest, your little nephew still wants a sword, I heard that dude has a sword...

When he took refuge in Tianyicheng, Fang Boshan brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but when he got here, he couldn't help but wonder, is the property he brought with him still his own...

In Fallen Leaves City, he was under one person and over ten thousand people, and he didn't have to look at anyone except the King of Youzhou. And when I got here, I and my family could only live in a small yard, and the cost of food and clothing was naturally not comparable to that of Ye Yecheng. The key was to see other people's faces, even if the other party was just a servant girl. This feeling... made Fang Boshan Some are unhappy.

"City Lord, City Lord..."

Qiao Ye ran in from outside the courtyard.

"Shh, keep quiet!" Fang Boshan looked around vigilantly: "There are ears on the wall, so don't call me that here, lest others think we have different opinions."

"The city owner... there's no need to be so careful, right?"

"It's better to be careful, how is it that I asked you to inquire about things?"

"I asked the people who came from Youzhou. Before they left, the Rong tribe hadn't killed them yet."

"Haven't killed them yet, did they run away after robbing Black Rock City?" Fang Boshan pondered, if that's the case, he should hurry back, instead of relying on others and eating people's eyes.

"City Lord, do you think Cheng Dalei blocked the Rong clan?"

Fang Boshan rolled his eyes at him: "Didn't you wake up in the morning? A few bandits can stop the Rong clan, that's the Northern Barbarians!"

"Since the Rong clan has broken through Blackrock City, there is absolutely no reason not to continue their invasion south. But after so long, they haven't reached Ye Yecheng. Perhaps, Cheng Dalei really blocked the Rong clan."

Fang Boshan was lost in thought. When all possibilities were ruled out, the most impossible became the truth.

But can a bandit really stop the tens of thousands of iron cavalry from the northern barbarians?

"Check again, check again!" Fang Boshan said: "Find out what's going on in Qingniu Mountain!"

"Yes!"

...

Youzhou City, above the city head.

"More hard crossbows and big bows. If you want to defend the city, bows and arrows are essential."

Yang Long stopped wearing his armor, walked quickly on the city wall, and inspected his city.

"The craftsmen in the city have already made them overnight, and within a month, they will be able to make 100,000 arrows." Li Shanyan followed closely behind him.

"In January, will the Beiman Ministry give me a month, fast, fast! There must be no loss in this battle!"

Yang Longting walked quickly and stopped beside a soldier. The soldier looked very young, with a childish look on his face.

Yang Long stopped to look at him up and down, and patted the dust on his hat.

"How old is this year?"

"Your Majesty, Sixteen!"

"Okay, okay!" Yang Longting patted his shoulder heavily: "He's a good man, he's going to fight, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" The soldier straightened his chest.

"Haha, I'm afraid, how can you not be afraid." Yang Long stopped laughing, and suddenly said seriously: "Protect the family and defend the country, don't do it if you're afraid! I'm afraid together with you, when the war comes, this king and Kill the enemy together!"

The soldier stood up straight, his body trembling with excitement.

Yang Long stopped patting him on the shoulder and left with his advisors and generals.

Until Yang Long stopped walking away, the soldiers were still blushing with excitement.

"Hey, that's the King of Youzhou! I didn't expect him to talk to Xiao Wei."

"Our King of Youzhou is a good man. I heard that he was the one who drove away the Rong family back then!"

"Follow him, you can't go wrong!"

Some soldiers were talking, and at this moment Yang Longting had gone far. He really didn't have a good rest these days, and has been checking the city defense.

When the war came, he had to be cautious. Although the Rong family was terrible, the Rong family was also bullied and afraid of the tough. And Youzhou City is the strongest city in the entire Youzhou, as long as they know that it is difficult to fight, they will retreat. Anyway, there are so many cities in Youzhou, so what are they robbing is not robbing, and they don't necessarily want to rob the most difficult city of Youzhou.

"What are so many people doing below?" Yang Long stopped at the city gate and looked down.

"They are all refugees from all over the world who want to take refuge in the city."

"Drive them away, what if there are bandits taking the opportunity to sneak in!" Yang Long stopped.

"They've already sent people over, but they're determined to go into the city."

"Kill if you can't drive it away, do you still need me to teach you such a simple truth!" Yang Long stopped snorting coldly.

"Report!"

A scout climbed to the top of the city and knelt down in front of Yang Longting: "Your Majesty, I have already inquired, the Rong people have not yet crossed Qingniu Mountain!"

"I haven't come yet." Yang Longting frowned. According to the time, it shouldn't be. After all, the marching speed of the Rong tribe is quite fast.

"What about the bandits in Qingniu Mountain, where did they escape?"

"I didn't see them coming out of Qingniu Mountain."

"Hey!" Yang Longting frowned, he subconsciously remembered how Cheng Dalei blocked the road at the beginning, could this fool really want to block the Rong clan.

"Check again, check again! Find out the situation of Qingniu Mountain!"

"Yes!"

Qingniu Mountain is the last dangerous place in Youzhou, and Youzhou is the last line of defense in the northern part of the empire. When Qingniu Mountain is broken, Youzhou has no danger to defend, and when Youzhou is broken, the Rong tribe can drive straight in, and Jizhou, Qingzhou, and even Jingzhou are all in danger.

In the territory shrouded in fear, everyone knew that the Rong tribe had invaded in a big way, and whether the events of 30 years ago would be repeated, everyone was beating drums in their hearts.

Like Yang Longting, many people have sent scouts to sneak into Qingniu Mountain. Invisibly, countless pairs of eyes are placed here: city lords from various places, bandits who are unable to escape, and rich households who are thinking about the little bit of business at home...

The little-known Qingniu Mountain has never been as eye-catching as it is today.

But Cheng Dalei didn't know anything about these things, he was busy sharpening his knives.
