The Sword Dynasty - 438. Chapter 437
The Su Wei Army is stationed in the middle of this grassland.
Behind this grassland are twelve border cities of the Great Qin Dynasty. Compared with the huge size of Yinshan Mountain, these twelve border cities are as small as twelve bright pearls scattered on the grassland.
It is the nearest border town to this grassland and the farthest from Yinshan Mountain, called Shanglao City.
This city was originally the outermost border city of the Great Qin Dynasty. It was built by prisoners sent here in the past.
At sunrise, a tall man appeared above the gate of Shangjao City.
He was wearing a bronze armor, but he couldn’t see any patterns, because the armor was covered with various sword marks.
These depths, or the density of new or old sword marks, are like blossoming dandelion flowers on the surface of the armor.
Especially in the sun, some metal sections are constantly shining with golden light, as if there are strips of cold electricity swimming in it.
Some sword marks are several inches deep, but they are still not penetrated. This can only show that the thickness of this armor has reached an astonishing degree.
The most important thing is that these sword marks are too dense. Under the squeeze of the force on these sword marks, the metal texture of this armor itself seems to have changed, and some crystalline light even appears in the metal.
This tall man’s face is also very big, he looks rougher than the man in Guanzhong, and he carries two long swords on his back instead of a sword.
The scabbard is made of leather, simply sewn, and even the long hair on it has not receded. It looks like wolf skin on the grassland.
The handle of the knife is light yellow, with some very moist purple red, not like metal, but like some kind of jade.
The man’s eyes are also like gems, shining with a natural blue luster, pure like the sky on the grassland.
He looked at the grassland in front of him from a distance, knowing that the old guard would not be able to reach the border city until at least this afternoon.
He came here because of the boy who was in the old guard, but he knew very well that his battle would end before the boy came.
A morning breeze passed.
After the wind came from Yinshan Mountain, with a chill, it added some sense of solemnity out of thin air.
The wind brought the smell of cow and sheep dung in the distance, and the withered grass blades surging like waves in the ocean.
The man standing on the top of the city gate narrowed his eyes slightly, and a touch of blue appeared from among the withered leaves of grass.
Shao Sharen, dressed in a sapphire robe of Jianzong Minshan, walked on the withered grass and slowly walked along the road formed by the trampling of horses on weekdays and walked towards the gate tower.
…
In the center of Shangjao City, there is a large open space.
This vacant lot was originally used to execute prisoners, but at this time it was densely knelt down and I don’t know how many people, most of whom are women and children.
Only one man with a handsome face was standing.
This man seemed to be a little afraid of the cold. He was wearing a white fox fur coat, but this coat was covered with dust, and the yellowing meaning that even the true essence could not be washed away during the long journey.
There is a long sword across his waist.
There are many luxurious gems inlaid on the hilt of the sword.
These gems are carved into the shape of a skull.
This handsome man slowly raised his head in the wind that smelled of cow and sheep dung, and then casually glanced at the women and children kneeling in front of him.
At this moment, at the other end of the square, there appeared a man with a particularly ordinary face, even standing in the crowd.
It’s just that this man is also wearing a sapphire robe.
The man in the white fox fur coat smiled faintly, and said, “It is said that human beings regard human life as a waste. Didn’t you expect that this trick will also work for you?”
“Who can truly regard human life as a waste?”
Geng Ren looked at this man, and said without any special emotion, “It’s you, Yelu Canglang, and the third prince of Donghu, who are very important to the entire Wu family, risking to appear here, do you regard other people’s lives as ill-fated. Or do you regard your own life as a waste?”
Yelu Canglang narrowed his smile, and naturally showed a hint of coldness, “I am the most important person in the Wu Clan army, and naturally I must appear in the most important place. Is there anything better than stopping the people from the Minshan Sword Sect from entering? Is the battlefield more important?”
After a pause, he looked at Geng Blade and laughed at himself, and then said: “If the people of the Minshan Sword Sect can’t show up on the battlefield, what if I die here?”
Geng Ren looked at him and said something that only the two of them can understand at this time, “If you decide to do this, we may become the prey of others and all die here.”
“So I didn’t kill these people. I wanted to leave some conditions to talk to you. You just want to escort the disciple who is extremely important to your Minshan Sword Sect to Donghu. I can let him reach Donghu safely. “Yelü Canglang said and smiled faintly, “We can even go to the Donghu border with you, but the condition is that we must leave together. The condition is that any practitioners of the Sword Sect of Minshan will not enter again. Our Ushi country.”
Geng Ren pondered for a moment, and said, “We don’t want to enter the Wu Family country either.”
Yelu Canglang took a deep breath and said, “I understand how you feel about the Minshan Sword Sect, so I think it’s possible to talk to you.”
Geng Ren looked into his eyes and said, “Lose our protection, he would be very dangerous in Donghu.”
Yelu Canglang also looked into his eyes and said, “I have arrived here with Ling Shan. If we die today, he will be even more dangerous, and even your Minshan Sword Sect will be very dangerous.”
After a pause, Yelu Canglang said slowly: “And he went to Donghu, I can guarantee that no one of our Wushi will deal with him.”
Geng Ren said slowly, “You can rest assured that he is on the border of Donghu?”
“That’s Donghu and Chu’s business.” Yelu Canglang said slightly sarcastically: “If even a five-level practitioner who has lost the protection of the Minshan Sword Sect can change everything there, then Donghu and Chu themselves will not be able to treat us. The battle with Daqin will cause any impact.”
Geng Ren thought for a while.
Yelu Canglang glanced at him and said, “You shouldn’t have much time to make a decision, because I didn’t expect you to attach such importance to this young man, even Shao murdered.”
Geng Ren knew exactly what he meant. After dozens of breaths, either the strongest general of the Wu family on the city’s head will kill Shao Murder, or Shao Murder will kill the other party. It’s just that anyone who survives on either side will be afraid. Not easy.
He didn’t hesitate any more, nodded very simply and normally, and said, “You go to Donghu with us, and then come back.”
Yelu Canglang smiled slightly.
He let out a clear howl.
At this time Shao Murder had reached the front of the city gate.
The man in armor on the upper floor of the city gate already held the handle of the knife with both hands, but when he heard such a clear howl, he shook his head with some regret, and said to Shao Sharen, “I can’t fight.”
Shao’s murderous figure disappeared among the yellow leaves.
The man who was like a god on the gate tower also disappeared from the gate tower.
The figures of Yelu Canglang and Geng Blade in the city also disappeared.
The women and children who were kneeling in dense numbers began to sob loudly.
There was not even an eagle or a vulture in the sky.
Looking down from high above, there is a circle of black and red low walls inside the walls of this border city.
The black one is the body of Qin Jun wearing black armor, and the body of the black vulture that usually flies above here.
The red blood is flowing out, not yet completely solidified.
Except for these women and children, there is no more alive in this border town.
