North of Misty Peak.

At the junction of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains and the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang, there is a piece of land where woodland and wilderness meet, known as the Northern Wilderness.

At this moment, a Central Plains cavalry team with a total of nearly a hundred people is galloping across the wasteland.

In this team, everyone has eyes full of gods, and there seems to be an indescribable fiery belief in them.

They are all muscular and burly, and at first glance they are the kind of experienced soldiers with many battles, and among them, there is a middle-aged man who is particularly eye-catching.

Presumably there is no adjective that would suit this man better than the word "strong".

Even though he was wearing Daming's thicker general's armor, he could still see the slightly protruding muscle lines on his body.

Observing his appearance, he is estimated to be around 30 years old. There are some obvious wrinkles on his dark face that has been sunburned for a long time, but it makes him more majestic.

Under Daming's armored helmet, the black locks of the man's exposed hair were combed very neatly, and his deep black eyes shot out a resolute look like a sharp sword.

The lieutenant general who was marching side by side with him suddenly said to the middle-aged man——

"General Yuchi, we are almost at the first village to be inspected."

"Ah."

For a simple response, it seemed that one more word would be extraordinarily abrupt.

This is the head of the most proud generals of the Four Pillars of the Ming Dynasty——Yuchiwei. He was ordered to lead a team to seek rebellion, but he has not seen any shadow of the enemy yet.

Yuchiwei tried his best to suppress the eagerness in his heart, and drove the horse under him to keep it at a certain speed.

This speed is maintained at a level where the horses can move fast without overtiring the horses.

But even so, as a laborer who has already marched here from the royal capital Yanjing, a little fatigue has penetrated deep into the bodies of Yuchiwei and others.

I believe it is the same feeling for the war horses under them.

The lieutenant general beside Yuchiwei looked towards the direction of the village ahead, and slowly said to himself——

"...Hopefully, nothing too bad will happen along the way."

There was a little uneasiness hidden in the words of the deputy general, and Yuchiwei who was a little ahead also felt the same.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the order given to the Zhu Kingdom General Wei Chiwei and others is——

"Someone found at the border that part of the scattered cavalry of the barbarians in northern Xinjiang harassed and looted the people. If the witness is true, go immediately and lead the army to conquer."

Originally, it would be faster to send soldiers from Shanhaiguan, which is closer to the Great Wall, but considering the fierce folk customs and strong soldiers of the barbarians in northern Xinjiang, today's weapons and armaments are more complete than ever.

Enemies of this level are very different from those newly recruited Shanhaiguan garrison soldiers who can only be used to defend the city and lack combat experience.

In the huge Ming Dynasty, the only thing that could rival the fierce cavalry of the northern Xinjiang barbarians was the "black cavalry" directly in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, if there is another one added, Yuchiwei's immediate family, the head of the generals of the Four Great Pillars, must also have this ability.

just
Having said that, it seems a little uneasy that Yuchiwei is now in charge of enlisting the enemy and guarding the northern land of Yanjing!

Perhaps before Yuchiwei and the others leave Yanjing and reach their destination, they can try to mobilize soldiers from other passes to protect the surrounding villages. If it is not good enough, they can also try to organize a militia patrol team, which can at least help the villages resist for a while. .

There are many other feasible methods, but none of them are done. No, it should be impossible to do so.

Yuchiwei, who knew one or two of the secrets, couldn't help feeling even more anxious at this moment.

Yuchiwei tightly held the rein of the horse, trying not to use force, but even so, it was still difficult to suppress the faint anger that was almost burning in Yuchiwei's heart.

"General Yuchi, do you want to wait until we arrive before starting to search for the enemy? If we do this, I'm afraid we will miss the plundering route of the northern Xinjiang barbarians."

The deputy general accompanying Yu Chiwei said so.

After taking a peek at Yuchiwei's expression hiding in the shadows, the lieutenant continued to say——

"...Moreover, not only that, if you can also bring His Majesty's 'Black Rider', you will be more confident, right? Or recruit escorts and fairy masters from all over the wilderness of the Northland, as long as you have enough money, entrust them to help search for the Northland Xinjiang barbarians are also acceptable. Why take the most stupid way now?"

"Enough, Li Xian."

Yu Chiwei, who had not said much, reprimanded Lieutenant General Li in a rare way: "If those people know that the barbarians in northern Xinjiang have been able to appear in the territory of the Central Plains, the situation will only become more unfavorable than it is now."

"General Yuchi, there is no one else here. There is no need to talk about the scene. I hope you can tell me the truth."

Lieutenant General Li obviously didn't believe Yu Chiwei's words. While he was speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something again, a slight contemptuous smile appeared on his face, and there was no sense of kindness in it——

"I'm afraid, it's those high-level gentry in the capital who are making trouble again?"

Facing Vice General Li's disdainful speech, Yu Chiwei did not reply in time.Because... that's what it is.

"Those damned guys actually want to use the lives of the people in the Northland as a pawn in the power faction struggle! You know, this is the territory directly under the Ming Dynasty, and it is now the period when the crown prince is in charge of the country. If something really happens, Those guys can use this to participate in the impeachment of the prince."

"Not all the gentry have this kind of thinking." Yuchiwei tried his best to calm down and tried to refute, but he seemed a little pale and weak.

"Perhaps, General Yuchi, you are right. Among the gentry in the capital, there are also people who think about the common people. But the number is simply very few."

Lieutenant General Li continued to speak, seemingly on a whim, and asked tentatively——

"If, the subordinate means that if His Highness the Crown Prince can take over the throne as soon as possible and monopolize the power, I believe that with His Highness the Crown Prince's wisdom and the gap between him and the gentry, he will be able to ignore or even eradicate those selfish and stupid guys. So you can really think about the people!"

"Li Xian! Are you trying to conspire against me?!"

Yu Chiwei suddenly reprimanded in a low and cold voice, still denying Lieutenant General Li's thoughts in his words.

After seeing the latter slightly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, Yuchi Wei continued——

"...Your ideas are too aggressive, and it may trigger a war to split the dynasty. At present, Ming Dynasty is facing the crisis of neighboring countries' ambitious and continuous expansion of territory. If such a war of division occurs, it will be the real misfortune of the people of Ming Dynasty. "

"The subordinates also know, but, General Yuchi"

"Let's put this matter on hold for now, if you let me"

Halfway through Yuchiwei's words, he suddenly stopped.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if a candle was flickering in them, he stared sternly ahead.

Curls of black smoke billowed from the small hills in the wilderness ahead, and it wasn't the sparseness of one or two wisps, but the terrifying scene of wolf smoke everywhere.
All the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were present at the scene had experienced the baptism of many wars, and there was not a single one of them who did not know what this scene meant.

Yuchiwei was slightly stunned, he couldn't help but gasped in a low voice, and put slight pressure on the horse's belly with his legs.

After galloping to the top of the small hill, at this moment, Yuchiwei and the others saw the unexpected appearance——

There are ruins of villages that have been turned into scorched earth. Among the broken walls and ruins, there are only a few remains of burned roofs, standing here silently like tombstones.

Yuchiwei's words got stuck in his throat, he paused for a while, and then he quickly ordered in a firmer voice than ever——

"Everyone listens to the order and quickly launches a search! Find survivors, act quickly!"
