Chu Chen Kee

The seasons on the grassland are always distinct. When the grass grows and the grass dries up, it is a spring and autumn.

This year's winter came a little earlier, and it was colder than previous years. It has not yet entered the deep winter, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the vast grassland.

A river that winds and coils across the vast grasslands has been frozen over with a solid layer of ice.

This river originally flowed through Ulanda, but later changed its course due to three interruptions. Now it passes along the outer city wall of Ulanda, bypassing the relatively fertile city.

The newly appointed King Guifang once considered the inconvenience of water in winter, and ordered people to dig a canal along the old river channel to flow into the city from under the city wall before the land was frozen in winter, which solved the problem of water for the people. .

It's just that this year's cold was unexpected by everyone. The canals in the city have been blocked, and many soldiers are digging ice every day. There are many people queuing up to receive ice water, so many residents near the city wall are still I chose to go out of the city to fetch water, firstly to save time, and secondly to relieve the pressure on the canals in the city.

It was noon at this time, when the sun was at its hottest, many people in Guifang wore thick leather jackets and carried wooden barrels and water bags on their backs, leading mules and horses to the river bank in small groups. Prepare to dig ice to transport water.

For the people in Guifang who have been accustomed to working for many years, this kind of intensive labor is nothing.

The people on the river are working in full swing, and everyone seems to be very involved in this work.

The clansmen of Guifang, even the nobles, are used to life on horseback, but now that the grassland is covered by heavy snow, they will not be able to graze on the grassland for at least five months. Somewhat at a loss.

But it will not be very boring, the people here will also prepare for the New Year, but their New Year customs are very different from those of the Central Plains.

Most people in the Central Plains spend New Year’s Eve eating, drinking, visiting relatives, and visiting lantern temple fairs.

What the men on the prairie here like is horseback riding, archery, wrestling and other competitions where they can vent their strength that they have nowhere to use.

Before the New Year's Eve, these people began to dig ice as a way of exercise.

In the distance, two figures, one black and one green, walked over here.

The soldiers on the top of the city immediately became vigilant.

Since their royal city was raided by the despicable Yue clan a few years ago, Guifang's clan didn't treat foreigners very much.

Although they regained their own city from the hands of the Yue Clan later, their vigilance has never been lowered.

Immediately, two teams of patrolling soldiers blew their horns to remind the nearby soldiers to pay attention.

Those two people were alone, they didn't look like people in a caravan, and they were still walking on the grassland in such bad weather, they were probably wizards of the Yue Clan!

The soldiers of the two patrols quickly gathered into a team, and then each soldier put their arrows on the bowstring, and aimed closely at the two people who were 200 meters away.

The captain at the head was about to ask about the other party's identity, but suddenly his eyes widened in surprise, and then he immediately got off his horse, folded his hands in front of his chest, and made a big salute: "I have seen Lord God Envoy and Lord Bai Yi."

Bai Yi's memory has always been good, he glanced at that person and smiled: "Sarna? I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have grown into an adult."

The young man in front of him was full of vigor, his black eyes were full of life like a little black sun.

Li Yuchen once said to Bai Yi that this young man has a ruthless streak in him, he is willing to be ruthless to himself, but he is very righteous to his friends around him. He admires this little guy very much.

At that time, Li Yuchen gave some pointers to Sanar in private, and taught him a few simple ways to exhale and breathe. Now it seems that this young man is indeed as good as Li Yuchen said, and he did not relax his practice at all. I haven't seen him in three years, and he is a little bit about to reach the peak of the day after tomorrow.

For ordinary people who practice boxing and kicking kung fu, the top masters in the general arena are just the peak acquired, which is the legendary realm of picking leaves and flying flowers to hurt people.

The so-called true qi in the internal martial arts is the ray of vitality after introducing qi into the body. It is only cultivated according to various exercises, but it is only inferior in the end. The speed is different from ordinary people, and it can only fly three to five feet in the air.

Xuanyuan also saw the young man in front of him through the Xuanguang mirror, and when he saw this, he just nodded slightly, and said: "We are going to the city to spend the night."

Sanar heard the words and hurriedly said: "The two lords have already arrived in Ulanda, do you want to live in another place? Our king has been missing you two for the past two years. The two are great benefactors of our tribe. Your Majesty If you can know that the two adults are coming, you must be very happy."

What he said was a little urgent, but it was enough to show the truth.

Bai Yi and Xuan Yuan came here not to visit their old friends, but to find something. According to the geographical map of mountains and rivers, this thing will appear near Ulanda, just because it appeared early, so The exact place is uncertain.

That's why the two of them thought of strolling around, but unexpectedly they wandered to the gate of Ulanda city.

The soldiers at the back were so excited to see their squad leader, they also retracted their bows and arrows and dismounted.

At first it was because they were too far away to see clearly, but now they take a closer look, and most of them were trained under Li Yuchen's hands back then, and naturally they will not forget that fierce and handsome god-like man My lord.

Therefore, many people dismounted and saluted, and then followed closely to protect the two.

Bai Yi could not help feeling a little headache looking at the soldiers around him who were following suit.

He raised his forehead and turned his head to look at Sarna: "The two of us can go in alone, there is really no need for so many people to follow."

Upon hearing this, Sarna immediately lowered his face and said, "The rest of you, return to the original team and continue patrolling."

The soldiers immediately scattered and divided into two patrol teams, one went east and the other went west.

Only then did Sarna turn his head to look at Bai Yi and Xuan Yuan, and showed that happy smile again.This boy from the Guifang tribe was in awe of them from the bottom of his heart.

When Bai Yi saw it, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Then please lead the way."

After Sanar leaned over and made a gesture of invitation, he asked the two to walk in front, and he followed behind, saying as he walked: "You two adults don't know, since we returned to Ulanda, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Helped us a lot.”

Bai Yi knew that there was only one Emperor of the Tang Dynasty that Saner was talking about, and that was Li Chenhuan.Li Chenhuan's methods of buying people's hearts are still unabated.

So Sanar told the two of them about the help provided by Li Chenhuan and the changes of the Guifang tribe in the past two years.

Some careless teenagers didn't realize that the person behind him who he thought was the envoy of God had changed from inside to outside.
