Chu Chen Kee

Although the flood season in the upper reaches of the Surrey River has passed, the current below the river is still turbulent.

The snow water left by the high mountains in the distance is bitingly cold, across the Soli River, the royal city of the Yue Clan can be seen from a distance.

Bai Yi stood on the hill in the distance and looked down.

The surface of the river here looks calm, and it is full of blue, as clear as the blue sky.The white clouds reflected on the lake, floating leisurely, leisurely and comfortable.

Unknown wildflowers are in full bloom nearby, and the red and blue ones are spread on the green grass, like a gorgeous splash-ink painting.

In the distance, a dozen or so horses graze leisurely on the pasture, and occasionally trot for a while, and a small herd of cattle and sheep slowly drink water under the care of the shepherd.

"It doesn't look like a problem." Li Yuchen observed for a moment and said.

A hint of hatred flashed across Yuan Xiang's eyes, and then he gritted his molars: "The Yueshi King City is very well-defended, and it is divided into the outer city and the inner city. Ordinary people can only enter the outer city, and the inner city belongs to the Yueshi king." Only trusted nobles and ministers can enter. It will be very difficult if we don’t startle the snake.”

Li Yuchen also knew that his method might not work here, after all, it might not be possible for the opponent to have helpers from the Wu Clan.

Yuan Xiang paused again, and then said: "But if you want to go in, there is a chance right now."

He deliberately stopped, but found that Li Yuchen and Bai Yi were both looking at him calmly. They had no intention of asking questions, so they could only touch their noses boringly and said, "King Yueshi is collecting all kinds of treasures now. If we In the name of presenting treasures... I think we can still get close to the inner city."

For a while, everyone was silent.

Li Yuchen was worth a lot of money except for the Heaven-breaking Sword he brought out from the Sword Tomb, so basically he could not count on it.

Yuan Xiang?He, a down-and-out prince, pointed at Bai Yi and the two of them for dinner!

So, the two of them turned their attention to Bai Yi at the same time.

Bai Yi was a little depressed when he was stared at by these two people.

He thought for a moment, then took out a shining orb from his kit, and said, "Is this okay?"

"This is the Suihou bead?" Li Yuchen immediately remembered its origin when he saw this bead, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and pursed his mouth a little unhappy.

"I didn't have time to go back." Bai Yi said lightly, "Now it can come in handy."

He also didn't explain that he wanted to use this bead to increase the speed of Li Yuchen's cultivation.

This bead was given to him by Prince Li Chenhuan, and he returned to Kunlun Mountain before returning it.Now that I remembered it, it was convenient to solve the problem at hand.

As long as they pretend to offer treasures to King Yuezhi, it will be fine if they sneak into the inner city.After the matter here is over, Suihouzhu will naturally have to return it to Li Chenhuan.

"That would be great!" Yuan Xiang said overjoyed, "We can sneak in, find out what the hell King Yueshi is up to, and avenge my parents!"

Li Yuchen looked at Bai Yi sourly and said, "If you don't like to lose it, just lose it. If you like beads, I can find them for you."

Bai Yi's expression froze, and then he said flatly, "Stop talking nonsense."

After several people changed into the robes that members of the Yue clan often wore, they covered their mouths and noses with face scarves, crossed the Suoli River and walked towards the king's city.

Although this is a grassland, there is also wind and sand, so it is very common to dress up with a cloth towel covering the face. In the direction of the king's city, they also saw a few people wrapped in black cloaks all over their bodies. Compared with them, their three People are really inconspicuous.

Xiao Miao shrinks into a small milk cat the size of a palm, and comfortably sticks to Bai Yi's chest, making Li Yuchen next to her jealous.

The scale of the Yuezhi King City can almost be compared with the prosperous towns in the Central Plains.

The towering black city walls give people an infinite sense of constriction and depression. The gaps between the jagged giant stone walls are poured with molten iron to fill the gaps tightly, and there is a military fortress with copper walls and iron walls.

Under the tall city gate is a narrow and deep city gate.

The heavy iron gate was suspended and turned into a passageway enough for pedestrians to pass through.Once the war broke out, the smoke of war broke out, and the ropes of the iron gate were cut, this place would become an impenetrable fortress, and no army could conquer it.

First, it took too long to transport large catapults, and there were no conditions to obtain materials locally. Second, even if there were trebuchets, there were no large enough stones to attack the city. Third, there were no high enough ladders. For soldiers to fight on the city wall.

The soldiers under the gate of the city were all fully armed and hid in black armor from head to toe. The eyes behind their masks were cold and stern. When they were patrolling, the surrounding people avoided them in fear, but they were in a daze. If not noticed.

The helmets on the soldiers' heads are shaped like evil wolf heads with strange shapes, and their sharp fangs are like bloodthirsty beasts, making passers-by frightened.

Although there were many passers-by, they were all silent, so there was silence here.

Here, it is as quiet as an empty city, but there are tens of thousands of garrisons and more people.

King Yuezhi is like a spider sitting firmly in the middle of a spider's web, controlling his huge grassland empire, using severe and high-handed means to make his people bow down and make the surrounding tribes gradually fear him.

Once there is a slight disturbance in any place, he can use the high efficiency of his cavalry to wipe out the opponent like a storm.

This powerful and mysterious man, with the strong iron castle at the center of his empire, showed everyone the ambition of this tribe.

"That's King Yuezhi's elite Iron Wolf Army. He has three of the most powerful troops on the grassland in his hands, the Iron Wolf Army, the Silver Leopard Army and the Black Falcon Army." Yuan Xiang said, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice.

When those devil-like iron wolves trampled on his homeland and chased after him, he couldn't help being afraid of these cruel troops who had no normal human emotions and could only kill.

Hearing this, Bai Yi frowned slightly, and there was a little twinkle in the eyes behind the veil.

This King Yuezhi is already the most powerful tribe on the grassland, but judging by the size of his royal city, it is clear that his ambitions do not stop there.

"King Yuezhi once declared that even the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty could not break through this city." Yuan Xiang did not ignore the astonishment in Bai Yi's eyes, and said, "King Yueshi spent ten years building this city wall." , indicating more than 20 slaves and prisoners of war, and almost lost all the money of the Yuezhi."

"Is this preparing for a big war?" Li Yuchen raised his eyebrows slightly, "You just watch them grow bigger day by day?"

Yuan Xiang looked at Li Yuchen a little excitedly: "How do you know that we have not fought? My father wanted to stop them, which aroused the dissatisfaction of King Yuezhi and caused the disaster of extermination! But the other tribes on the grassland Just watch, do nothing..."

He clenched his fists in pain, but in the end he just held his head weakly: "They were afraid of offending King Yuezhi, so they didn't do anything. And our tribe has become a victim..."

Bai Yi glared at Li Yuchen, then comforted Yuan Xiang in a slow voice, "It's okay, I will do my best to help you."

Yuan Xiang raised his head, with tears in his eyes and a little shame, but he pursed the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

Li Yuchen looked up at the majestic monster-like city in front of him. After a while, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "To build such an invincible city on the grassland, it seems that King Yuezhi's ambition is not enough. It's really not small!"

"King Yuezhi also promulgated a law that whoever gave birth to a son will be rewarded with one sheep, and whoever has two sons will be rewarded with two sheep, and the tribe will raise one of the children on behalf of the tribe, and so on. They will be brought up by the tribe in a unified way, and they will be designated for marriage when they are 16 years old. This will revitalize the population." Yuan Xiang said sadly after recovering.

"If you only look at these laws, you have to say that King Yuezhi is not a mediocre person." Bai Ze said.

"It's a pity that I didn't choose the right path." Yuan Xiang looked at the city wall bitterly and said, "Fishing in a dry marsh will bring about your own destruction."

"If the Yue clan had made these actions, why didn't the Tang Dynasty see any reaction?" Bai Yi didn't go down the mountain for a long time, and if he went down the mountain, at most he would only buy some items from the traveling merchants wandering around these tribes, so he could only ask Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang shook his head with some disdain and awe, and said: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty indulged in cultivating immortals, and even gave himself the title of Master Jiuxuan. There are mixed forces in the court, the prince holds great power, but the frontier officials have With the heart of disobedience, they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have time to care about this place?"

Bai Yi looked at Li Yuchen, opened his mouth and swallowed back the question that flooded his throat.

"Let's go into the city." Li Yuchen saw that soldiers were already looking at the gate of the city, so he pulled Bai Yi forward a few steps.

A group of people stepped into the Yuezhi King City in the dead silence under the afterglow of the setting sun.

The streets in Yuezhi City are all paved with bricks and stones, pedestrians look in a hurry, and there are few people walking slowly on the streets.

There are mostly iron shops on both sides of the street, and the sound of blacksmithing can be heard endlessly.There is also a leather goods shop, the smell of tanned leather goods is extremely strong, plus the cheese and milk dregs that people here love to eat, Xiao Miao buried her head in Bai Yi's chest in pain.

It is a spirit beast, and its sense of smell is ten thousand times more sensitive than that of humans, so it feels even more painful.

Suddenly, a pair of guards of honor came from the opposite side, and someone rode a horse in front to open the way, waving a long whip in his hand with a crackling sound, and the pedestrians in front hurriedly got out of the way.

Those pedestrians in shabby clothes were staggered, but they didn't even dare to wipe the blood. They crawled to the side with hands and feet, making way for the carriage behind.

The streets here are not wide, and the stalls on both sides take up a lot of space, so even if they avoided quickly, many people were whipped, their skins were torn apart and blood flowed, but they just groaned a few times , not daring to cry out the pain, and shrank to the corner of the wall even rolling and crawling.

And the person who opened the way for the guard of honor behind was still expressionless, raised the whip in his hand high, aimed at a woman next to him who was holding a thin girl, covering her head and face.

Snapped!

The whip was stopped by a big hand.

Bai Ze stood in front of the guard indifferently, and when he pulled harder with his hand, the man on the other side rolled off the horse.

Yuan Xiang helplessly covered his eyes with the back of his hand.

It seems that this time they don't have to worry about how to enter the inner city.

People who offend such a big show, whoever they are, will be thrown into prison.

It is said that there is only one prison in the inner city of Wangcheng...
