Icefield City.

It was about fifty zhang away from the sentry post under the mountain, Chen Ran stopped with a few scouts, and he was able to get close to this place entirely because the black martial general he didn't know gave him a topographic map, and the topographic map was drawn in detail from where he approached the ice field city and would not be seen by the lookout from a high place, and it was impossible to get close to this distance at this time to observe without a topographic map.

"There are too many people."

Chen Ran lowered his voice and said.

There are at least about 200 black warriors at the checkpoint intersection at the foot of the mountain, and the camp near the checkpoint can see that the scale can be at least about 1,000 people.

According to the news given to him by the black general, the inside and outside of the ice field city are now guarded by about 5,000 black warrior troops, more than 1,000 people below, and more than 1,000 people in the distance, there are at least more than 2,000 black warriors in the city, the black warrior general is called Da Ma Ge, although the military rank is not high and he is not a nobleman, but this person's martial arts are very strong, just because he is not from a noble background, so it is not good to mix in the army, otherwise Dedetuo will not run away alone, and hand over such a big piece of hot potato to him, which can be regarded as a backpot.

Chen Ran quickly drew a sketch on the paper, then waved his hand to signal the others to retreat first, and looked back at the snow mountain: "I'll see if that road can really go up, you guys are waiting in the forest over there to pick me up." ”

According to the topographic map, there is a path that almost no one knows about in the snowy mountain, and if you go up the mountain for a while, you will see three very strange-shaped trees, there is a cave behind the three trees, which has been covered up and will not be discovered, and the cave can go through it directly to the ice city, which is the retreat prepared by Qin Se for the child and herself, and few people know about it.

Chen Ran must find out whether this road exists or not, if he can indeed enter the city, it will be easier to rescue the brothers of the invincible Qin Se and Liuyun Society, but if this road does not exist but is a trick of the black warriors, Chen Ran does not want the tea master to encounter danger, so he must try.

"Remember, if I don't come down for two hours, don't wait for me any longer."

Chen Ran pulled his hat down and his scarf up, revealing only a pair of eyes, and turned around and walked towards the snowy mountain.

Topographic map Chen Ran drew another one, relatively simple, but the approximate location is marked, where is the observation blind spot of the lookout on the city wall, especially clearly marked, he climbed the stone and climbed the tree all the way up, it was very simple, after half an hour, he finally found the location, Chen Ran raised his head and looked, these three trees are really worthy of the strange shape of the four words.

One of them is bent very much, it is not an ordinary bend, the middle forks to the top and grows together, the arc of one side is large and the other side is straighter, it looks like the circle is more like a D, the other one is more normal, but there are too many bends, zigzag and twisted, it looks like an S, the last one is complicated, from a distance, it is bifurcated and connected, as if the shape of the first tree is stacked up and down, two Ds.

Chen Ran looked at the three trees and felt the magic of nature, he looked left and right to make sure that no one was following, moved the weeds to the side, and sure enough, he saw a black hole, not big, people bent down to get in, after entering, he turned around and gambled on the hole with branches and weeds, blew up the fire and followed the road, the cave is very long, from time to time something drills over, it should be mice, and they can't freeze them to death in such a cold weather.

Walking along the waist of the cave cat, at least after walking for half an hour, Chen Ran felt that his eyes were slightly brighter, and he cautiously walked to the entrance of the cave, and the wind blew in from outside, faintly with some smell, Chen Ran said in his heart that the entrance of the cave was not near the livestock pen, he moved the things piled up at the entrance of the cave, the light in front was greater, and there was no sound when he listened carefully, Chen Ran saw that there was a stone slab in front of him, and the light leaked in from the gap on both sides of the stone slab.

Chen Ran held the slate with both hands and tried to test his strength, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he fell out......

"I'll go."

Chen Ran subconsciously screamed, but fortunately the voice was not loud.

Where is the slate, there is a thick quilt hanging here, the outside must be painted the color of the rock, the quilt is stuffed with a lot of pictures, sprinkled with grass seeds, and it is true that there is some dead grass outside.

Chen Ran didn't hold on to him and fell from above, his reaction was first-class, there seemed to be something in front of him, anyway, he grabbed it with both hands and held it there...... Then I saw clearly that it was the roof of a latrine, and there was a dung pit under him, no wonder there was a faint smell, this is the season, if it was the hottest time in summer, it should not be faint.

Chen Ran took a sip, and said in his heart that fortunately, this is a special fragrance type, if the strong fragrance type is already hanging here.

Climbed to the roof of the latrine with difficulty, fortunately there was no one in the latrine, he went down lightly from the roof, looked carefully, and found that there should be no difference between the latrine of the Heiwu and the latrine of the Ning people......

Chen Ran shook his head, and said in his heart that he was thinking about something messy, he looked out from the door of the latrine, and occasionally saw a black soldier passing by in the distance, this place should not be the latrine of the barracks, there are too few pits, and the ranking is not enough.

Already in Icefield City, Chen Ran thought about going back at this time, but after another thought, if he could contact Qin Se, he would make an agreement with her, and it would be easier when he came up again.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran tightened his clothes and quietly moved forward, moved to the corner and looked out again, there was a row of wooden houses outside the corner, which looked quite simple, there were six or seven black soldiers guarding the outside of the wooden house, the security was not strict, those few people stood there chatting very casually, and two squatted in a distant place to chat.

Chen Ran was just about to think about how to avoid this when he heard a roar coming from one of the rooms.

"What about people?!"

It was Ning people shouting.

Chen Ran was startled and shrank back.

Then I heard the man continue shouting, and his voice was very heavy.

"It's been three days!"

Chen Ranxin said something for three days.

"It's been three days since anyone came to beat me, and my skin is itchy! Which grandson came and beat me! ”

Chen Ran's heart shook violently a few times, and this voice sounded somewhat familiar.

His mind was racing rapidly, and after a while, he suddenly reacted, isn't this the sound of the clouds breaking? Immediately after Chen Ran, there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, breaking that they were not dead yet, not dead!

"I'm hungry!"

There was another shout in the room, which frightened Chen Ran's heart, and his heart was broken, why can't you stop shouting.

"I'm hungry! Lao Tzu wants to eat meat! ”

The voices that came from the room grew louder and louder.

And at this time, in the room.

Broken kept shouting at the outside, and his voice was almost hoarse, but his eyes were staring at the outside all the time, as if he was guarding against something, beside him, several other people were struggling to rub the hemp rope tied to his hand on the stake, but the hemp rope was too thick, and the stake was relatively smooth, so if he grinded like this, he didn't know when he could break the hemp rope, and he didn't know how many days he had been grinding.

Outside the room, the few black warriors who were chatting looked back in disgust, and one of them said a little irritably: "I don't know what the general thinks, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't move, and these miscellaneous Ning people don't kill, it's really annoying to shout here every day, and you still need to be polite to these Ning people?" ”

Another person said: "You don't know, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is forced to die, if she kills these Ning people, she will commit suicide, if she has any accident, the national teacher can chop up the big horse monkey and feed it to the dogs." ”

"Be quiet."

A black soldier said with a smile: "If our big horse monkey general hears it, he will have to chop you up and feed it to the dogs first." ”

Da Ma Ge is actually not very prestigious in the army, he was born in a poor family, and he has his current status as a general by not dying, but he is still looked down upon by those who are from noble backgrounds, and because of his ugly appearance, even the soldiers secretly laugh at him, and he will be angry when he knows the conversation, and over the years, I don't know how many soldiers have been beaten by him, and how many leather whips have been broken.

But the more this happened, the more the soldiers disobeyed him, and no one became more awe-inspiring because of this.

"I really want to go in and fight again."

One of the black warriors couldn't help it, strode to the door of the room, and shouted inside: "If you speak again, I'll cut off a few of your fingers first!" ”

The broken and other people in the house all stopped, and after waiting for a while, the black warriors outside did not come in, and they began to grind the rope again, the rope was tied tightly a few days ago, and it was difficult to move up and down on the stake.

The people outside did not come in after a few curses, but they scolded him at the top of their throats to hide the sound of grinding ropes, and the door creaked, and everyone who was tied up in the room stopped at the same time.

The black warrior strode in, raised his hand and slapped the broken face a few times, and the sound of snapping was extremely loud.

"Aren't you a?"

The black warrior grabbed his broken neck: "Shout, you shout again?!" When I hear you cry again, I'll cut out your tongue. ”

Broken's face was swollen, but he didn't seem to be angry, he just squinted at the black warrior soldiers in front of him, the expression that seemed to be smiling made the black warriors nervous, many soldiers died when they caught these Ning people, so they still had a little fear of these Ning people in their bones, especially Broken, when those eyes looked at him, the black warriors felt a chill down their backs.

He punched the broken lower abdomen, and another black warrior hurriedly pulled: "Don't fight, the team sent from Star City will arrive before dark today, if nothing happens, these Ning people will have to be taken away or executed early tomorrow morning, maybe not until tomorrow, when the Sword Gate Great Offering arrives at night, these people will be chopped up and fed to the dogs." ”

The black soldier who beat the person took a sip and went out scolding.

looked at the others, and their faces became solemn.

Outside the house, Chen Ran, who was hiding there, also heard it, so his face became solemn.

The people of the Sword Gate are coming at night?

He raised his head and looked at the sky, if he rushed back at this time, he was afraid that it would be too late.
