The most difficult system to open in history

After thinking for a moment, the old Hubu Shangshu, whose beard and hair were all white, responded directly:

"In the northwest of our summer, the temperature is extremely low in winter, so the household department has always had the habit of storing things to keep out the cold. There is no problem with the basic logistical support, but the temperature in the extreme northern snowfield is even lower, which can be called an absolute domain. It's not too much, so Your Majesty, ordinary soldiers can't keep warm just by relying on animal clothes."

"Of course I know this, but remember, in future battles, the soldiers of the dynasty don't need to travel long distances at all. With the existence of the stone tower, they can come directly to the enemy's hinterland. From the beginning of the two armies of Canglan, every soldier will be a monk who can mobilize vitality, and although the environment in the extreme northern snowfield is dangerous, but with the bonus of vitality, it will no longer be an impenetrable domain!"

The old Minister of the Household Department got up and bowed to Zhao Yu again, and sighed:

"Your Majesty is wise, it is because the old minister's thinking has not changed from the past!"

"Times are changing, and you must keep up with the times."

After the young emperor finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the same old Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and continued to speak to him:

"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon. The Ministry of Industry and the Guanzong have developed war tools in advance to assist in combat in the snow. We know very little about the snowmen in the extreme north, so no matter what, we can't take it lightly.

"Come on, follow your orders!"

"Since I knew the extreme northern snowfield was restless years ago, I have also deliberately mobilized resources to investigate its internal situation, but I never thought that there is such a big cancer hidden in it.

"In the former Ying family, martial arts supernatural powers were almost developed to the extreme. Although most of them were lost in the war-torn era of disintegration, I believe that Shan Wenbai still has a lot of supernatural powers accumulated in his hands. After so many years, so many talented practitioners Sent to the north, combined with these powerful magical powers, it is enough to create an extremely powerful army of practitioners, and if they are not complete, there will be a big killer at the level of the Fourth Army!"

Zhao Yu let out a cold sigh, and the expressions of the ministers and others in front of him were not good-looking.

After Shan Wenbai was put to death, I thought this matter would be over soon, but this hero is only the founder, and the real troubles are yet to come!

Chapter 0703 Can't Wait

In the imperial garden of the White Emperor Palace, Zhao Yu returned to the imperial table and sat down again. He picked up a memorial beside him and opened it gently. Then a calm voice came out:

"Although there is trouble in the extreme northern snowfield, for me and Daxia at this time, it is not yet the time of life and death. You don't have to worry too much. With me, as long as you know, there will be no big waves, and you guys Just do your job well and quit.”

Then surrounded by the emperor's voice, all the officials below Zhao Yu fell to the ground and saluted:

"Your Majesty is wise, I will take my leave!"

Then under the Xuantian tree, after saluting, the officials of various ministries bowed their bodies with solemn expressions, and slowly retreated. Perhaps it was an illusion. When these pillars of the imperial court had just stepped out of the imperial garden, the city of Shenjing, which was still a little lazy at first, Instantly became compact and solemn.

A gust of wind from the north directly entered the entire city of Shenjing from above the nine heavens, and at the same time, it blew the light snow above the sky around, like rootless duckweed, whirling back and forth in the void.

Then the wind brought snow, and slammed into the center of Shenjing city without hesitation. The Xuantian tree that went straight into the sky, but before it could get close, it was completely melted by a green light emanating from the Shenmu, turning into water and being blown away. Absorb them all and nourish the whole Xuantian tree.

The snow in the wind melted, but the wind still blew down, and then directly blew up the hem of the young emperor's clothes under the tree, making a sound of hunting.

got windy.

With the cold wind blowing, Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes, put down the scroll he was reviewing, and said softly:

"The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop."

After finishing speaking, the young emperor raised his hand and waved forward lightly, a silver sea of ​​light spread in all directions like a wave, suppressing the void above the entire imperial garden in a blink of an eye.

The wind is flat and the trees are quiet.

Then Zhao Yu's voice came out again:

"Liang Po, ask the maids of the Xia Palace, has Rouge ever woken up?"

After a while, Liang Po walked in from the outside and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the empress got up very early today. In the early morning, she took a carriage to send the little princess to the Daxia Academy to study. At this time, she was already on her way back and was about to arrive outside the Meridian Gate of the White Emperor Palace."

After Liang Po finished speaking, as if he had thought of something, he spoke again and added:

"In order to ensure the safety of the empress, in addition to the women's department in the Imperial City Guards who specialize in protecting the royal family members, Si Tianta arranged for two female cultivators at the peak of the Dao Realm to secretly protect, and the empress, according to His Majesty's instructions, dispatched Fei Lian, a guard of the guards, was appointed as a personal maid, and at the same time, Shan Hai Tu has allocated a part of the power to pay close attention to it. In Shenjing City, Your Majesty does not need to worry about the safety of the empress."

"It's true that Rouge is about to leave the palace, so she won't let me know."

Zhao Yu shook his head lightly with a smile, but there was not much blame in his tone. In fact, he also knew that since last night until now, he had not rested for a moment. Then the young emperor thought about it and said to Liang Po again :

"Get ready, I plan to go out of the palace too, and take Rouge to the Qiongjiang Restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles."

After Zhao Yu's voice fell, Liang Po nodded, and then he hesitated for a moment, and continued to speak, and the mellow and magnetic voice came out again:

"Your Majesty, there is one more matter for you to decide. There is news from Wanjiange, the metropolitan city where Sima Annan is located, that the young master of Wanjiange, Jiansheng, wants to come to Beijing to face the saint."

As soon as Liang Po's words came out, Zhao Yu's ebony eyes flashed a moment of thought, and after a few breaths of silence, he said lightly:

"Ask Sima Annan to give her a teleportation scroll, and I will meet her at the White Emperor Palace in the afternoon."

"promise!"

In fact, the preparations for the emperor to go out of the palace are extremely cumbersome, and a large number of people need to be mobilized for security and guards, but the efficiency in the White Emperor's Palace is extremely high. After half a quarter of an hour, a black carriage has left the imperial garden. Drive inside to the outside of the palace.

The black carriage arrived outside the Meridian Gate, with no makeup applied, but still dazzling rouge. With the support of the maid, she got off from another carriage, and then entered the carriage where Zhao Yu was. The girl sat beside Zhao Yu, Smiling lightly, he opened the mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, you are a busy person, and you are going to take your concubine to eat noodle soup today. Don't you read the mountain of booklets on the table in the imperial garden?"

Rouge's red cheeks were full of smiles, and his big eyes were narrowed. Thinking about Zhao Yu's move, he was very happy, and his voice was also joking. Afterwards, Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and took Rouge into his arms , raised his hand and nodded the latter's nose, and responded with a smile:

"I know that you have no appetite for anything during this period of time. That's not okay. You are pregnant, so I wondered if the noodle soup in this Qiongjiu restaurant can satisfy your appetite, Rouge, and I am also a little greedy."

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled. Rouge leaned her head on Zhao Yu's arms, squinted her eyes, and looked satisfied. Recently, she became more and more lethargic. It was a normal phenomenon after life, but for some reason, she couldn't sleep alone, she always felt uneasy, and she became more and more attached to Zhao Yu's warm chest.

The carriage that Liang Po was driving was extremely stable, without the slightest shake, and inside the carriage, the young emperor could feel the subtle changes and increased dependence of Rouge in his arms, so he raised his hand lightly, and patted the latter's back rhythmically. back, lowered his voice, and asked softly:

"It's the first time for fry to go to Daxia Academy, but have you gotten used to it?"

"I'm used to it. Yumiao is playful at this age. In our palace, she doesn't even have a playmate of the same age. When I go today, she is very excited to see so many babies."

A soft response sounded from Rouge's mouth, and then she seemed to think of something interesting, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and continued to speak:

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Xiuyu's appearance is favored by the heavens and the earth. Regardless of the young age of the fish fry, they are extremely juicy. Therefore, when we fish fry go, the eyes of those babies are straightened, and a few snots fall into their mouths." It's inside."

"Hahaha!"

After Zhao Yu heard this, he raised his head to let out a burst of hearty laughter, then hugged Rouzhi tightly in his arms, stretched out his thick and slender palms, and gently stroked the latter's belly, carefully feeling the rhythm of the little life inside.

In the vast land of Shenzhou, the Xiuyu clan where the old empress belongs is naturally one of the clans that are favored by heaven and earth, but the Zhao clan that is in charge of the entire Great Xia is even more so.

However, the little guy in Rouge's stomach now is the common blood of the two clans gathered, and the future is even more limitless. Maybe once he makes a move, he will be the so-called child of nature.

Zhao Yu's face was full of love, and his gentle voice sounded softly in the carriage, as if he was talking to the little life in Yan Zhi's belly:

"Little guy, grow up quickly, dad can't wait to see you amaze the whole world."

Chapter 0704 Heaven's Gate Pass

The northernmost state of Daxia is Ganzhou. In terms of geographical location, the entire Youzhou is located below Ganzhou.

If the entire land of Daxia is compared to a house, then the two states of Ganzhou and Cangzhou are the top roofs distributed on the left and right. With the land of the two states, the entire huge house is covered, which is enough to show its large area. .

But Ganzhou and Cangzhou in a broad sense are actually even bigger, because in the north of the two, there are endless stretches of hundreds of thousands of mountains. Countless snow mountains and cold pine forests together constitute the natural northern barrier of the Great Xia. Tiger Crouching Mountains.

This mountain tiger, which is composed of countless mountains, goes straight into the sky and stretches hugely. It firmly resists the cold wind and snowstorm blowing from the north. Also blocked by it, there are also those who are coveting the fertile land of the Central Plains. Snowman tribe.

If you take a bird's-eye view of the entire north of Daxia from the sky, you will find that it is divided into three levels from south to north.

At the bottom are Ganzhou and Cangzhou, where the people of Daxia live. The terrain is relatively flat, and the land is immature and can be used to grow crops.洳愦Wei neon sled  howl  neon 荷荷剑淠菠jue spelling 鄹cong cherry  drinking buttocks magpie difficult ┦ Zang Qin 饫 mace making trouble   Xi Xi  Qiang fade choking burden  Bright and real

Because the extreme northern snowfield is in the polar night at this time, and its night will last for three years!

People in the world often say that although there is still a glimmer of life after nine deaths, the mystery between heaven and earth is that the Dao will never end everything, so the entire northern part of Great Xia was cut by heaven and earth, leaving a scar.

The name of this scar is Tianmenxia!

Tianmenxia is a canyon that spans the Hundred Thousand Mountains from the land of Daxia and directly leads to the extreme northern snowfield, and at the same time divides the entire Ganzhou and Cangzhou prefectures.

The military department of the Great Xia and countless generals in the north of the entire dynasty know that there are two crucial checkpoints in the northern part of the Great Xia. One is the south of Youzhou, which guards the Tiger Leaping Gorge in Shenjing, the capital of the capital. The second is the northernmost strategic throat. Tianmen Gorge.

Whoever controls Tianmenxia will occupy the initiative in the north to attack and retreat. The human dynasties of all dynasties have paid great attention to it. After countless generations of efforts, in the wide central area of ​​​​Tianmenxia, A big city, Xiongguan, was built to cut off the long canyon in the middle. As the northernmost gateway, it has been called Tianmenguan since ancient times.

Since the historical records, Tianmenguan has never missed, and has been firmly controlled by the human race.

After the founding of the Great Xia, Wang Jiang of Bei’an was ordered to guard Tianmen Pass. After [-] years of development, and attracted by the rich resources in the entire [-] mountains, Tianmen Pass at this time is not only a border pass, but also a An extremely prosperous trading city, its area is bounded by the tallest city wall in the north, and it expands and expands towards the south.

It is worth mentioning that when Tianmenguan was expanding the city to the south, the old King Bei'an, who had been indulging in the gentleness of the country all day long and didn't care about world affairs, appeared in a very high-profile manner, and with a big wave of his hand, all the chambers of commerce and the people were all designated. Arriving at the soon-to-be-built Nancheng, hugged the girl, slapped the table and shouted at everyone:

"This king does not object to the establishment of a chamber of commerce in Tianmenxia, ​​and even if you have the ability to go out to the extreme northern snowfield to do business with those snowmen, this king also supports it, but there is one thing, you are not allowed to enter this northern city. It is the barracks and battlefield of my son of the Jiang family and the northern army.

"As for the newly built Nancheng, I don't care about it. My Jiang family guards the frontier and will not interfere in this trade. The imperial court will send people to manage it. I hope you will follow the rules. Whoever wants to extend their hands to In Beicheng, this king cut off his head."

Because of King Bei'an's words, Tianmen Pass has been divided into two parts since then, the South City and the North City, and the development of the two has also undergone extremely dramatic changes.

Nancheng is becoming more and more prosperous, and has gradually become the most prosperous city in Ganzhou, as well as a trading center for snow animal fur, animal meat, etc. The scarce resources on the snow field are traded here, and then sold to various parts of Daxia at high prices. The cold temperature can't stop countless gold rush adventurers from coming.

But on the contrary, the North City is still the cold and deserted North City, where only the Northern Army drills day and night, but the roars from the soldiers in the North City often overwhelm the bustling hustle and bustle in the South City.

There is a wall separated, but it is like two worlds. This is the Tianmenguan of Daxia. This is a pearl that blooms and emits this light on the edge of danger in the northernmost part of Daxia. But for the snowmen in the extreme northern snowfield, this is their dream. land of conquest.

However, the old King Bei'an's life has greatly enriched the after-dinner life of all the people in Daxia. In other words, he has his own gossip. The happiest one is the old prince, who spends almost every day in the dusty place, without asking about things, just looking for fun, and even the prince's mansion in Beicheng will never go back.

Therefore, a storyteller specially created a word for it, which is called deep in the south city, happy to miss the north, and it has been circulated among the people throughout Daxia for a long time.

But everyone in the world knows that the old King Bei'an was romantic, but what they don't know is that for so many years, Beicheng, which has not been noticed by people, will open its gates wide open every once in a while to welcome the return of Jiang's children and the northern army who have gone deep into the snowfield.

The knives hanging around their waists are completely scarlet, the red after the blood is frozen, the red sprayed on the Snowman's head after beheading it.

As the old Bei'an King said, the Jiang family, one of the fourteen surnames Ying, is a soldier guarding the northern border of Great Xia. No matter how the Tianmen Pass changes and develops, this most important mission has never been forgotten.

There is a city wall between the north city and the south city of Jianmen Pass, and there is a main gate and several side gates in the city wall.

The side gate is guarded by sergeants all the year round, and the main gate in the center of the city wall is not easily opened, but once it is opened, it means that there is a big event happening in the gate of heaven.

But just this morning, when the sun had not pierced the darkness above the skyline of the northern border gate, the main gate between the north and south cities of Tianmenguan slowly opened, revealing a man in scarlet armor with a stern face, who was just like Jiang Yue. A middle-aged general with six points of similarity.

Prince Bei'an's first son, Jiang Qing.

After the old Bei'an King ignored political affairs, the real controller of the entire Tianmen Gate, the commander-in-chief of the Million Northern Army, was in charge of northern Xinjiang and granted the title of Marquis of Tianmen.

"Have you checked everything out?"

An extremely sharp voice came out of Jiang Qing's mouth, and then a general behind him stepped forward and said:

"Master Hou, I already have some clues, but I still need to confirm!"

"The White Emperor Palace personally ordered to intervene. This matter is important, but this Marquis personally confirmed it."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Qing directly raised his legs and stepped forward, formally stepping into the border of Nancheng, and behind him, one after another, elite northern soldiers followed silently for a quarter of an hour without stopping!

Chapter 0705 South Chamber of Commerce

As the northernmost city of Great Xia, Tianmen Pass is actually located in the center of the entire Shiwan Dashan. After leaving the pass and going north, passing through the entire Tianmen Canyon, one can step onto the barren and cold extreme northern snowfield.

The polar night in the extreme northern snowfield lasts for three years, and although Tianmenguan has a day and night cycle, in winter, the real sunshine is only a short two hours, but fortunately, there are often dazzling aurora in the sky, It's like strands of star ribbons dancing in the air, beautiful and amazing.

This is also the unique beauty of Tianmenguan!

If calculated according to the standard time of the Great Xia God's capital, it was already the end of the hour, and all the regions in the 36 states of the Great Xia had already shone brightly, but at Tianmen Pass, they were still shrouded in deep darkness.

In Tianmenguan’s large southern city, most of the residents come from the inland, so their living habits are the same as those of the other 36 prefectures, so even if the gorgeous aurora hangs overhead, the entire southern city has recovered before the light comes. And the trade activities in the whole city have already started.

The formation and continuous development of a city requires a strong heart to drive blood circulation. Tianmenguan is remote and dangerous, and its heart that drives the pulse of the entire city is extremely busy trade.

On the central street of Jianmenguan South City, there are many chambers of commerce of various colors. The lit lamps illuminate all directions like daylight. Under the aurora, they dragged the corpses of snow beasts back and forth, and kept communicating and yelling.

These beheaded snow beasts have one thing in common besides the ferocious aura that remains, that is, the thick and white fur, which is as soft as silk and satin when touched, which is warm and comfortable. A beautiful natural material.

A complete piece of snow animal fur, even the lowest snow rabbit, after being collected from Tianmen Pass, is transferred to Shenjing City. , This thousand-fold premium is also common.

Such a large profit has become a super-driver for the development of Tianmenguan South City. There are tens of thousands of densely packed chambers of commerce, and there is a tendency to continue to increase.

On the central avenue of Nancheng, although there are various chambers of commerce and people coming and going in an endless stream, there are still a few families that have a particularly large traffic flow. One of them has a huge sign flying around on the high wall. The word Nanke in red is particularly conspicuous.

South Chamber of Commerce.

The building of this chamber of commerce is also a bit taller than the surrounding ones, reaching three floors, standing out from the crowd on the central street surrounded by two-story buildings.

In Tianmen Nanchengguan, the financial and material resources required to build a house will be hundreds or thousands of times larger than those in the inland areas. Therefore, the height and size of the chamber of commerce house is also a symbol of the financial resources behind it.

The first and second floors of the South Merchant Chamber of Commerce are trading places. It is extremely busy at this time, and there is still a pungent smell of blood in the air. After all, under difficult conditions, everything is kept simple, and most hunting The hunters who came back didn't need to wash at all. They directly took the money handed over by the steward of the Chamber of Commerce with their hands still stained with blood, and left with a big smile.

The price offered by the South Chamber of Commerce is very conscientious, basically three to four points higher than other chambers of commerce, so hunters like to come here for transactions, and the top floor of this chamber of commerce is a study.

In the study room, a pot of charcoal fire was burning silently. Although it was not the Xuantian charcoal known as the gold in charcoal, the heat emitted was quite sufficient, making the entire huge room very warm.

On the left and right sides of the study room, there are two tall crane candlesticks. The whole body of the crane is carved from wood, with one foot upright, standing upright on one foot, and the candle above its head is burning, emitting light. It clearly shines on the face of a middle-aged woman sitting behind the desk.

This woman's face is not gorgeous, but perhaps because she has been in the cold northern border all year round, her skin is fair and delicate, without too many wrinkles, especially her eyes, which contain the color of wisdom, and then the middle-aged man The young woman looked at the steward below, and asked softly:

"Steward Wang, how long has it been since the master left for Liuli City in the extreme northern snowfield?"

After the faint voice of doubt fell, the steward below thought for a while, then clasped his hands and responded:
