It is impossible for such a large number of troops to march without disturbing the prefectures on the way.

But the places close to the northern border rely on Ming Ye's army, so they will definitely do this after knowing the news.It's a long way to go, and it's not far from Cold Mountain City. The reputation of Yanran people as vicious and brutal has spread since the city was broken, and now I have no lips and teeth. I only hope to drive them out as soon as possible, so as to prevent myself from being the next one..

It was a journey day and night, and the journey went smoothly.

When he reached Zhezhou near Cold Mountain City, Akeno stopped and did not attack immediately, but collected information first.

He was born as a Jinyiwei. Although he didn't work for long, the Jinyiwei under him is really good at sniffing out news.Cold Mountain City suffered such a catastrophe. When the city was broken, it was extremely chaotic, but there were some courageous people who escaped knowing that the consequences of falling and losing would be unimaginable.But there are family members or private property in the city, so they stay around temporarily, not daring to go far, hoping for another turnaround.

There are quite a few people like this, but there should be some spies of Ranren in the city. Ming Ye sent people to collect information and find useful people, and it took a few days.

One afternoon, someone was ordered to walk up to Ming Ye and report the urgent report from High Capital: "The long princess has set off eleven days ago to go to Cold Mountain City to marry her."

There was silence all around, and it was noon at this time, the sun was strong, and there was no autumn wind, but it made him feel a chill.

After a while, he heard the general reply: "Yes. Got it."

So calm, so biting.

September, Cold Mountain City.

Under the rustling autumn wind, the common people were robbed of their wealth and imprisoned.The northern border people knew that the long princess promised to make a marriage, and made a promise that they would not wantonly massacre the people.But every day, many fresh corpses are transported out of the city, thrown outside and burned, turning into blue smoke that floats into the sky.This is the custom on the grasslands. As the victors, they have no mercy for the defeated Dayin people. They burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of evil.

Often the blood of the predecessors on the street is still wet, and the blood of the descendants is sprinkled on it again, and the whole street is filled with the rusty smell of blood.

For such a thing, the leader of the Yanran clan, the fourth prince Shen Zhi who led the army this time, didn't care. He was happy to see the success and encouraged his subordinates to plunder more wealth.

The prefect's mansion has long been occupied by the invading northern border people.There are seven tribes in the army that came this time, but only the Yanran people are the main ones. The fourth prince Shen Yi lives in the prefect's mansion with his servants and counselors.

The lights in the mansion are brightly lit, day and night.Many people who have fought all their lives but have never set foot in the land of Da Yin are amazed.They have seen the Da Yin people outside the northern border, and they feel that the land there is not much better than the grasslands or their hometown.get strong.

It turned out that the real Da Yin looked like this.It turned out that Khan said that he must lay down this land.This is a gentle town, even the wind in autumn is warm.

In the middle of the night and the dew was heavy, Shen Zhi was in the room with his subordinates and staff to advise on the next route.

He has a cruel and cruel nature, is not calm enough, and does not know Da Yin's characters. He can only rely on counselors to translate the map into a language he can understand, but he has never come into contact with more signs on the place.I don't know the meaning of it, and the rivers all over it seem to be obstacles.

Of course, people don't know how to build ships, and they don't have any research on water warfare.

But none of these undermined Shen Ying's self-confidence. The battle in Cold Mountain City made him understand what a real Dayin man is.Will tremble with fear.

Shen Zhen said: "In a city, there are 100,000 young and middle-aged men who have no power to fight back, and dare not even try to resist. They can't be regarded as human beings."

The counselor said: "What the prince said is very true."

Shen Zhen laughed loudly: "They are only worthy of being our pigs, dogs, cattle and horses, not even servants."

The Yanran people regarded other tribes on the grassland as their slaves, but in Shen Qian's mind, the Dayin people were not strong enough to farm and do business with peace of mind, so they didn't even have the qualifications to be their slaves.

He was so contemptuous and couldn't understand the complicated Da Yin characters, so he just said: "Don't worry so much, the emperor of Da Yin will give everything away!"

"Be careful!"

An old and stern voice came from the dark room without lights. Shen Chen turned his head and saw his father, the leader of the Yanran people, the khan of the thirteen tribes on the grassland, and Ke Zhengchan walked out of it.

Ke Zhengchan was not at the northern border at all, he arranged his remaining sons there, but he came to Cold Mountain City with his fourth son.

Because he knows that this battle is a huge opportunity, and in the current situation, it is far more important than the northern border.So he abandoned those, hid his whereabouts, and waited for the real war.

Cold Mountain City is just the beginning.

After capturing Cold Mountain City, Ke Zhengchan devoted himself to researching the next route. Only a few people knew that he was here, and the outside affairs were all handed over to Shen Ying.

His fourth son was far inferior to his fourteenth son.But the fourth son died two years ago, at the hands of Dayin people.

Ke Zhengchan didn't want to avenge him, but felt that it was a pity that Damnya was more useful than Shen Ying in front of such an opportunity.

What a pity.

When Ke Zhengchan first received the news from Fei Jinyi, he thought it was either a fake or that the emperor of Da Yin was crazy.

But Fei Jinyi persevered. Compared with the territory and the city, he wanted to use external force to kill the children who competed with him for power.

Ke Zhengchan couldn't understand it, but he chose to accept it, because he broke through Chongwei Pass with the traditional method.

Akino is a tough guy, and Ke Zhengchan was waiting for him to expose his weaknesses, but the time was too long, and he really couldn't wait any longer.But now there is a better chance to spare Ming Ye, as easy as blowing off dust, and win half of Da Yin's country.

Fei Jinyi's promise was more than just a cold mountain city, which didn't impress them. He promised a lot, but Ke Zhengchan wanted more than that.

Da Yin's interior is empty and there are not many troops, so it can go straight down.But Ke Zhengchan didn't do that, he just waited for the arrival of the long princess.

This is a deal and a handle.

Once the long princess is in their hands, Fei Jinyi's handle will also be firmly grasped by them.Ke Zhengchan will not kill the long princess, but raise him and let him have children for Yan Ran.At the same time, Fei Jin was also accused of treason in their hands, so he had to help them secretly and withdraw the guards. By then, he would be able to obtain a large area of territory without a single soldier.

Then he stopped at Fei Jinyi's psychological bottom line, stalemate with Dayin, and recuperated.Use the captured Da Yin people to provide wealth, and also reuse Da Yin people to make them display their talents.Talented people are not necessarily gentlemen, anyone can have them fairly, and talented villains will bow down for money and power.

So he really intends to kill the people in Cold Mountain City, but not all of them, just to make an example to the monkeys, not to leave the old, the weak, the sick and disabled, and raise other Dayin people to work for him.

The Dayin people are different from the Yanran people. They have some skills that the Yanran people don't know, but they have no ability to resist under the iron cavalry.

Ke Zhengchan planned well, the only change was Ming Ye.

If the northern border hadn't occupied other places, Akeno led the army to rush directly, they might lose Cold Mountain City, and the entire army would be wiped out, and everything that followed would become a mirror image, impossible to achieve.

A counselor raised this point, and Ke Zhengchan revealed the results after careful consideration.

During the confrontation for more than a year, although Ke Zhengchan always underestimated Mingye's only twenty years old, he did not really take him seriously. He spent more time on Mingye than on any other son.many.

Ke Zhengchan said: "Mingye will not come here regardless of everything. Because he is very shrewd and very calculating. This is his greatest advantage."

Ke Zhengchan was over sixty years old, but he was still able to fight on horseback like young people. He was the most experienced hunter, so he knew young opponents well.

Shen Xing still doesn't know why, why his father is so sure.

Ke Zhengchan took a sip of the spirits and drew a big circle on the map: "After he knew that some of the troops had come to Cold Mountain City, his first reaction was that the northern border was now in emptiness. On the one hand, he was traveling a long distance, and he didn't know whether he would win or lose.on the other side is what he thinks is the foundation of our deserted people, he will choose the most beneficial one, and he will completely wipe out the remaining people in northern Xinjiang."

Ke Zhengchan's three sons stayed behind at Chongwei Pass, and he ordered them to stand firm, even if they were defeated and fled in the end, it didn't matter, it was enough to drag Mingye there.

Shen Cheng finally understood. He said, "That bastard won't know that the grassland is our real home. The foundation of the northern border is something that can be given up."

For this reason, Ke Zhengchan is willing to sacrifice a few more sons. He has many sons. They are his blood and his brothers, and they are weapons that can be used to consume.

Ke Zhengchan's eyes are set on Da Yin's territory, those lands that he dreams of, as long as he has enough time, he can take them, and Ming Ye has no power to recover.

He was so sure that the greatest wish in life was about to come true.

Then, Ke Zhengchan suffered the most tragic defeat in his life.It was even more tragic than when he was twenty-two years old, leading two thousand soldiers to conquer neighboring tribes, and only a dozen or so people fled back in the end.

In this battle, Ke Zhengchan lost everything.

For the second time in less than a month, the gates of Cold Mountain City have been breached.

Soldiers came from all directions and poured into this not-so-large city. The people enslaved as pigs and dogs dared not move, they didn't know what happened.

Ke Zhengchan couldn't believe it, but Mingye actually gave up the easy-to-reach northern border and came all the way to Cold Mountain City.

Except Akino, no one can advance so calmly but ferociously, like a unparalleled sharp knife that will cut through all obstacles wherever he goes.

Ke Zheng analyzed it so easily and unexpectedly.

But he did not admit defeat.After realizing that the current situation was irreversible, Ke Zhengchan personally ordered hundreds of the most elite Qingqi, and ordered his fourth son Shen Ying to cut off his heir.

This is the case on the battlefield, there is always something to give up.But as long as one life is saved, there will be a time to start again.

He is only sixty years old, and he can reach eighty years old. When he is unable to mount a horse, he will hand over his authority to the next successor.

Although no one loses, the warriors on the prairie will never fail.

It's just that Akino really can't stay anymore, how can he be killed.Even on the way to escape, Ke Zhengchan did not stop thinking.

Until he saw the pursuers not far away.

Ming Ye rode on the horse and almost caught up with him.They had never been so close, so close.

Ke Zhengchan could even feel the flying dust pouring into his nostrils, suffocating him.

Akeno held a head in his hand, and threw it towards the galloping light cavalry.Ke Zhengchan didn't have time to take a closer look, but only recognized the turquoise embellished on the braid of that head, which was his fourth son.

Ke Zhengchan has no time to grieve.Soon, the head was trampled into a pulp by the horse's hoof, and it was never found again.

There is no difference between people, before and after death, both Dayin people and Yanran people are made of flesh and blood.

Mingye drew his knife, and the sharp blade cut off Ke Zhengchan's head.

From the beginning to the end, Ke Zhengchan never thought that he would die here, at the hands of Ming Ye.

Akeno grabbed Ke Zhengchan's hair, his expression was calm, he threw it back casually, and fell into someone's arms, hugging him like a treasure.

Soldiers blow their horns—Cold Mountain City Victory.

The whole city cheered, they were saved.

This is not the end, there is still work to do.

The prefect of Cold Mountain City has abandoned the city and fled, and the higher-ranking officials have been slaughtered by the deserters. Just after another big battle, the city must be in chaos and has to be taken care of.

Candles were lit again in the main hall of the prefect's mansion. There were more than a dozen officials who were barely found, as well as some generals and subordinates who were able to come here this time.

The guard found some clean teacups, but before making tea, he boiled some hot water and handed it to Mingye, asking him to use it.

Ming Ye sat in the main seat with his sleeves rolled up, and the military doctor beside him was bandaging him.When the city was broken, he took the lead, so he would inevitably be injured.But fortunately, it wasn't serious, just now he used his arm to block the flying arrow, the arrow was embedded in the flesh, and the blood was still dripping.

The officials next to the seat first kowtowed and knelt to thank the General for saving his life, and then reported the current situation in the city.

After listening carefully, Akeno gave orders to everyone, and each performed his duties.The first is to rescue the people and resume daily production, and the second is to wipe out the remnants of the soldiers, and they cannot be allowed to escape.

Akeno took no prisoners.On the battlefield, life or death.These wild people are strong and hold sharp weapons. If they are not eliminated immediately, they will only cause disasters around Cold Mountain City.He ordered a team of hundreds of people to search for deserters, no matter why, no excuses, and everyone who saw them would be killed.

It took two or three hours to make such an arrangement, the sky outside was already bright, and the officials in the main hall were exhausted, only Mingye seemed to be the same as last night.

Ming Ye casually wiped the wounded blood with the handkerchief handed over by his personal guards, looked at the 300 guards who had been picked out and still had spare energy, and prepared to set off again.

The judge didn't know what he was going to do, so he asked, "Where is the general?"

He also said arbitrarily: "It's dawn at this time, and the general has just fought a tough battle. It's better to take a rest in the city and rectify it before busying with important tasks."

In fact, he was afraid that Ming Ye would not be able to suppress the remnants of the northern border if he was not in the city.

Ming Ye said: "There is something. It is very important."

The transportation in ancient times was inconvenient. This is the first time that Rong JIan has traveled so far and sat in a carriage for such a long time.

In addition to the exhaustion of the long journey, it is more psychologically difficult.

As they gradually approached Cold Mountain City, except for a few people sent by Fei Jinyi to supervise and the accompanying Ranran, almost everyone fell into despair.

And Zhang Sanchuan, who was in charge of the guard, hinted more than once to Rong Jian that Shoufu meant that he could escape with the eldest princess as a last resort, so that the green hills would be left without worrying about no firewood.

What exactly will they face once they reach Cold Mountain City.

Rong Jian is still waiting.

I always find it difficult intellectually, but believe it completely emotionally.

But it can't go on like this, Rong Jian is trying to find a place to keep Ling Song and Si Fu, at worst let them wait.

Akeno will come, and he will go back to pick them up.

Rong Jian closed his eyes, leaning against the wall of the car, thinking about these things, without moving, the twin bells on his ankles suddenly rang.

In the past year and a half, Rong Jian has tried countless times to shake the bell, but it seems to lack some parts, so it will never ring.

A very slight sound, which should have been drowned out by the sound of horseshoes and ruts, appeared so abruptly in the carriage.

Rong JIan couldn't believe it, and felt like falling into a dream for a moment.

But the skirt was very complicated, and he tied the bell on the ankle of the girl, but he couldn't take it out for a while.

While Rong Jian was tangled and hesitating, the curtain was suddenly lifted.

Rong Jian was stunned, turned his head, and opened the curtain to find a black scabbard, which was different from Mingye's before. He was momentarily lost, and suspected that he was hallucinating just now.

Then, he saw Ming Ye riding a white horse, holding the rein with his left hand, and opening the curtain with the scabbard with his right hand, just by the window of the car, looking down at himself in the car.

It's normal, like every time in the past.

Da Yin's custom is to cover her face with a fan when she gets married, but in a hurry, Rong Jian didn't even take the fan, and they just met face to face without any barriers.

Rong JIan's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, he bit his lip.

Akeno looked down at him with a very serious expression.

Perhaps no one has seen Akino who is so serious and afraid of losing.

On the way to get married, although Rong Jian didn't suffer a lot, he was still not in good spirits after the long journey, his face was pale, like a thin glazed porcelain that was about to shatter when he touched it, and his facial features looked more delicate and beautiful, is a fragile, unreal beauty.

He was wearing a wedding dress.

The autumn sun is no longer scorching hot, nor is it so warm. The color shining on the earth is closer to barrenness, and everything becomes bleak.

Rong JIan's wedding dress is red, such a strong color, a bright red wedding dress that flows like blood in the setting sun.

It is also flowing in Mingye's heart.

After a year and a half, they met again, in full view, in front of everyone.

Without too many scruples, Akeno let go of the rein, stretched out his hand, and cupped Rong Jian's face.His hands were cold, and there were some fine scars on his palms.

Rong Jian raised his face submissively, he looked at Ming Ye, his heart was beating so fast, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak.

Ming Ye called his name: "Rong Jian."

The voice is not high, but the volume is not deliberately lowered, and everyone around can hear it.

This is the maiden name of the long princess that no one can mention.

They stared at each other like this for a while, Rong Jian blinked slowly.Because Mingye's back was facing the sun, he had to look directly at the scorching sun when he looked at Mingye, his eyes became sore, and he continued to cry physiological tears, but he still refused to move away.

Ming Ye is condescending, seeing everything clearly, he knows that Rong Jian is enduring the pain for him, he knows that Rong Jian's tears are not only because of the sun.

Finally, he blocked the sun for Rong JIan, and said, "Your Highness."

Rong Jian gave a soft "um", tears rolled down Ming Ye's palm.

Everyone present, whether it was the Jin Yiwei next to the princess or Ming Ye's close guards, all lowered their heads, no one dared to look directly at this scene.

The author has something to say:

In front of Ming Ye, Rong Jian will always cry qwq
