The Sword Dynasty - 506. Chapter 505

A heavy snow has covered the north of Yinshan Mountain.

After the defeated Qin army retreated to Yinshan, it stood firm. With the arrival of a large number of practitioners and troops, it gradually became a counter-offensive. However, as the Wu’s army shrank back to the depths of the wasteland, Qin gradually flourished. The army was only blocked by the thick snow from the counterattack.

The Changling Mausoleum has not yet frozen, but the temperature on the Wu’s border has already reached the point where the breath has turned into ice, and the scalp is frozen. Thoughts may not be able to remain clear, let alone travel long distances to fight.

An astonishing number of troops camped around several frontier cities, not only for the transportation of soldiers and horses and the ability to dispatch food and grass, but also the consumption is extremely alarming.

On the more distant border between Donghu and Da Qin Dynasty, the temperature was even colder.

Some saltwater lakes have already frozen to the bottom, and the blowing wind has rolled up the icicles, making them white.

This kind of wind is called white hair wind, which not only blows the pain like needles on the face, but also blocks the line of sight. When the wind blows, it is easy to get lost.

Occasionally there are lakes that are not frozen at the bottom, which are extremely deep freshwater lakes. The water temperature in the depths of the lake is close to the freezing point but not frozen, and a large number of fishes gather in it, almost hibernating.

A certain elite frontier army of the Qin Army was stationed on such a lakeside and relied on fetching fish in winter to solve the food problem.

Several flying swords entered and exited on the ice, screaming in terror, and the large chunks of ice were cut open, and then completely destroyed by the strong sword energy into fragments, sputtering like an explosion.

Beside these cut ice caves, huge winches were erected, and ropes were used to drag fish nets into them.

The huge fishing net will be dragged under this ice surface for more than an hour, and every time a net is dragged, it will be a large fish of thousands of catties.

“No one knows what she is thinking. If the war with Wu Clan was just to force so many practitioners into the frontier army in Changling, then the price would be too great. So many troops are stationed there. Do you still want to wait until the beginning of the spring to fight at Wu’s border?”

“Suddenly ruined so many cultivating grounds, it was a fisherman.”

“Guanwaixuerong waited until late April at least, this short half a year…not to mention, hundreds of thousands of extra mouths were there waiting to eat, I don’t believe that the grain will be shipped.”

The vast majority of the people in the Da Qin dynasty had an attitude of awe and hatred towards Empress Zheng Xiu, especially the frontier army far away from Changling, and their attitude towards this Da Qin mistress was even more direct and sharp.

At this time, when it was close to the fish, it was related to the food for this winter. Several regiments were sitting on the carriage. The Qin generals, who wore thick black cotton robes under their black armor, did not look at the ice that came out of the fish. Kukou, but got together, talking about some of the latest military information.

“Is there something I don’t understand.”

A slightly immature but majestic voice sounded from one side because of the coldness on the extremely cold ice surface, “Although my Daqin has destroyed Han, Zhao and Wei, most of them are responsible for your practice. Naturally, it is also clear that in some cities, a few swords paved the way. In particular, the Han, Zhao, Wei and the three dynasties were the closest to my dynasty. Even after so many years of fighting, the road to the grain-carrying cart of the Great Qin dynasty was not too far away. Just like doing business, when a new shop opens, even if the same goods are particularly good for sale, it also needs to be sold slowly in small batches to see if the delivery of goods and the subsequent workshops can keep up, and whether it goes smoothly. In our industry, it’s called “can’t turn it”. This can turn it, and it turns smoothly, and then slowly increase the amount. Often we still have to do a few big deals before we can see if the current workshops, buddies, and shopkeepers are in line with this set. It can be equipped for the next bigger business. If Daqin’s army only reaches the border on a large scale, the soldiers and horses will not be able to keep up with the dispatch. Then in the future, our Daqin army will go to the farther Chu Yanqi and go so far. How will it be transported later? Can you keep up? Zheng Xiu is not stupid. Fighting Wu Shi means practicing, and he turns smoothly. Then if he defeats Chu Yanqi, he will also smoothly.”

Several regiments sat together in the lead, startled, and then all raised their heads together and looked at the young generals who were directing some carriages. One of the generals took up a wine pouch warmed in his arms and threw it away. First he laughed and cursed: “Xie Changsheng, you actually compare this march to war to business, but this description is apt and reasonable. I think this is true of the queen. You are right. She is so stupid. If we speak of resourcefulness, we are not as good as her finger.”

The young general’s face was immature, but he was always a little dismissive, with some mocking expressions… This Xie Changsheng was the well-known Xie Changsheng of the Guanzhong Xie family.

Xie Changsheng raised his eyebrows, unscrewed the wine bag and took a sip, and said, “This wine is too bad. I’ll get some good wine in the spring.”

If this Donghu Border Pass is not for war, it is difficult for people to smoke for hundreds of miles. Fish and meat are usually easy to get, but wine is extremely rare. In the army, this spirit is the greatest reward for high-ranking generals. The wine was not good, these generals were stunned, but they couldn’t help laughing.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the white-haired wind on the lake. It seemed that there was a different sound of the wind. These generals took a breath, but in the next moment, there were several short whistles. These few generals looked slightly relaxed, but they were puzzled.

Looking towards the place where the sound was made, the true essence of these several generals was flowing, and their eyesight was naturally greatly improved.

I saw three figures slowly revealed in the white wind. When the first two figures were bowed down, their bodies were a little rickety under the blanket of thick white fur, but behind them was one that looked a little slender. The figure seemed to be wearing an ordinary leather jacket.

“Don’t worry, we are also from Guanzhong.”

Xie Changsheng’s cultivation base is naturally inferior to those of these generals, but he only vaguely saw the outline of the thin figure, he sneered and said.

“Guardian?”

These few generals gradually saw that the thin figure was also a young man about the same age as Xie Changsheng, and they were a little bit confused. However, when the young man got closer, the hearts of all of them were horrified. The sword intent that this young man had cultivated seemed a bit extraordinary.

“Originally, Ding Ning was the last disciple of Baiyang Cave, but he squeezed in and became the last student of Xue Wangxu.” Xie Changsheng straightened his collar and threw the wine bag back. At the same time said.

“Shen Yi?” These several generals suddenly reacted.

“Xie Changsheng, you really are here.”

“In this kind of weather, look for someone in this place. Do you think you are a practitioner of the seven realms? You are not afraid of freezing directly into ice scum.”

When the two young men met, one was pleasantly surprised and the other sneered again and again.

Seeing Xie Changsheng’s attitude in this way, Shen Yi suddenly stagnated.

“What are you doing?” Xie Changsheng turned his head, not looking at him, only looking at the place where the fish came out.

In the ice caves of the trawling nets, white air was lingering, and there was already a faint sound of big fish splashing in the water.

Shen Yi stood frozen for a moment, his voice trembled slightly: “Brother Ding Ning, he…”

“If you came here only to tell me that your brother died in Zushan, then I can only say that you are too stupid.” Xie Changsheng really sank his face, and the cold sound directly interrupted his words: “Since I can get to the Donghu Frontier Army, do you think I don’t know what’s happening outside?”

Shen Yi raised his head, his eyes seemed to be reddened by the wind, but he looked at Xie Changsheng stubbornly and said, “I didn’t want to tell you this, but I have a few words to tell you alone.”

Xie Changsheng frowned, but did not speak, just nodded to the generals, and walked towards the downwind.

He walked until the surroundings were white, and the cold wind whizzed past his ears like a knife, before he turned around and stopped, looking at Shen Yi and said, “Let’s talk.”

“It’s impossible for you, don’t hate the queen?” Shen Yi looked at him and said seriously.

Xie Changsheng frowned deeper, “What idiot did you say?”

“What you did is not only on your behalf, but also drags down the entire Xie family.” Shen Yi looked at him and said slowly, “If… if my brother wants to kill the queen or even the saint, what will you do?”

“Everyone is dead, you still tell me if…” Xie Changsheng sneered, sneered very loudly, without any concern for others to hear it, because he didn’t need to keep any secret of this sentence.

“Because my senior brother also asked me this sentence.” Shen Yi looked at him, but said softly: “He also told me that if it is said that he is dead, don’t believe it.”

Xie Changsheng was stunned.

“You answer my question, and then I will say the following to you.” Shen Yi said while looking at him.

“Isn’t this an idiot question?” Xie Changsheng breathed hard, controlling his own voice, “Helping my relatives and not helping me. This is Xie Changsheng. I care about the Holy Queen and the Great Qin Dynasty!”

“If you don’t listen to the arrangement, you ran to Donghu border early to wait for my senior, but my senior was forced to go to Donghu and didn’t get here. But before my senior left, he also gave me a letter and told me about this matter.”

Shen Yi’s eyes were redder, “He expected you would not listen to anyone, help your relatives and ignore them. If something happens to him, you must have something wrong. If he doesn’t treat you as his own, you have already treated him. He’s his own, so he asked me to give you his money bag, and he asked me to tell you, don’t you spend the most money, then you will spend all the money in his money bag.”
