A day later, two mountains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The heavy snow had stopped for several days, but the sun had not yet broken through the thick clouds and shone on the ground. Everything around was still covered in snow, and as far as the eye could see, there were two parallel raised mountains standing above this snowy field.

Three carriages led parallel to the wide plain.

It was followed by a two-horse carriage, half the size of which was larger than any of the previous ones. The outside of the carriage is covered with red cloth, which dances in the wind, and looks gorgeous.

Behind the four carriages were the five hundred white-clothed troops of Baifang, as well as the 1,000 soldiers assigned by the Emperor of the Tiangu Kingdom.

Five hundred white-clothed soldiers in front and 1,000 soldiers in the back, like a bump in the snow.

But the 1,000 soldiers were all old, weak, sick and disabled, including 63-year-old men, 18-year-old children, and broken hands and feet......

These soldiers could not go to the battlefield to fight at all.

Ye Cheng and the others were completely toyed with by the emperor of the Tiangu Kingdom, but their appeals were fruitless, and the safety of Xiao An's sister was threatening, so they had to take these 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people to participate in the war.

The carriage came to a stop between the two mountains.

"Come out and see," shouted the princes, who were outside the curtain of a carriage on the left.

Ye Cheng heard the voice and quickly lifted the curtain, stretched his head out, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhu Ziju pointed to the direction to the left of the carriage and said, "Are those people on your side?" ”

At this time, Bai Yingping, who also lifted the curtain and saw it, turned his head to look at the left side of the carriage, looked carefully and said, "It may be the people in that county."

Everyone in the county seat of Tiangu Kingdom is built on the mountain, and because the county seat of these two mountains is relatively close to each other, it is named two mountains.

But their county names are Hum County and Ha County.

Those people walked on the snow, dragging their families with their families, including the elderly, children, and women......

Everyone lowered their heads and looked distressed, and kept walking towards the mountain on the right.

"What's wrong with them?" Ye Cheng also looked to the left of the carriage and asked with a strange expression.

"I'll go and see, by the way, where is the army of Xiao Guo of Xiaoluan Kingdom?" Bai Yingping Road.

Ye Cheng also knew that he couldn't see any reason when he looked at it like this, so he agreed with Bai Yingping's idea.

Bai Yingping burst out with cyan divine strength, and a blue light cut out the curtain of the car and ran in the direction of the people.

"Eighth brother, what should we do now?" Zhu Ziju asked.

"Let's go up the mountain first," Ye Cheng said.

Then the carriage continued to the hill on the right.

An army of more than 1,000 people marched up the mountain road around the mountain, and when the people outside the thatched huts saw it, some of them cowered, and some simply hid in the houses.

The county seat like the Tiangu National Mountain can be roughly divided into three parts.

The first part is the thatched hut, this part of the people is timid and afraid, but they are all coerced, they can only do some menial hard work, often do not have enough to eat, so everyone is skinny;

The second part is a one-story palace-style building, and this part of the people has some status, but it is still in a low status stage. Although they can be fed and clothed, they are still oppressed by people of higher status, so these people are still thin and tall;

The third group consisted of people who lived in palace-like buildings of more than two floors, who were often overwhelmed and fat-bellied, and who were lazy and lazy, using the wealth they had earned to hire commoners to serve them.

The carriage drove on the mountain road around the mountain, and the second part of the people could already be seen.

"Those civilians just now seem to be scared of our arrival," Zhu Ziju said with some concern.

Ye Cheng looked left and right, feeling a little strange.

The people under the thatched hut were still dodging just now, but now these people outside the first-floor palace-style building are behaving normally, normal trading, normal loitering, and there is no sense of crisis at all when the enemy comes to attack the city.

"Didn't they know that someone was coming to attack the city?"

Ye Cheng was suddenly a little frightened, and quickly shouted, "Brother Zi'an, hurry, go to the county order."

"Good" Zhu Zi'an shook the horse rope and "drove"

The horse was whipped in pain, and sped up and ran.

Mountaintop.

If there is no higher official position in each county than the county magistrate, the prefectural magistrate will live on the top of the mountain and be in charge of all things in the county seat.

On the top of the hill there is a courtyard house, built in the woods, surrounded by tall trees, like a forest hut.

In front of the door of the house are two large stone lions, which are carved to life. The beard on the lion's face and eyes are so vivid.

In order to wait for the dispatch to be convenient, 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers and 500 white-clothed soldiers lined up on the mountain road around the mountain.

The rest went to the residence.

Ye Cheng and the others came to the two stone lions, and were immediately stopped by two men standing next to the stone lions. The two men wore a slightly different white robe from the other soldiers, and the word "Servant" was written on their backs.

"Who's coming?" One of the men asked sternly.

Ye Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "We have something important to ask for the county order."

"The county order is what you say you can see, get out," another man shouted.

Zhu Zi'an on the side heard such unreasonable words, and immediately roared angrily, "You guy is so bold, see if I don't beat you all over the ground."

Ye Cheng hurriedly stopped Zhu Zi'an, they didn't come to find fault, so there was no need to make things too tough.

The only thing that Ye Cheng didn't expect was that he would actually incur such treatment in a tattered black suit jacket.

The black suit jacket was the one they had been searching for a long time in the ruins, and when they found it, it was tattered and covered with yellow dust. But Ye Cheng was still reluctant to throw it away, so he patted off some dust and put it on his body, and put on a robe outside.

Perhaps because of this, the two officials considered them to be poor, so they were not welcomed.

Ye Cheng used his back to block Zhu Zi'an's chest, and said respectfully to the two officials again, "I ....."

"Then is my princess qualified to see the county order" At this time, Cao Rou's voice came from behind him.

Cao Rou squeezed through the crowd and walked to Ye Cheng's side, looking at the two officials seriously, holding a golden token in his right hand, and the word "Tiangu Princess" was written on the token. The token looks a little old, and the golden yellow on it looks a little dull.

"This is...."One of the men was a little dumbfounded, and suddenly knelt on the ground in a panic, "Princess spare your life, I didn't know you were coming, please forgive me"

The other man was a little stupid, but soon knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "The princess spares her life, I will report it to the princess."

"No need, I'll go in by myself" Cao Rou put away the token, slowly walked past the stone lion, and walked up the stairs to the door.

Ye Cheng was interrupted before he could say anything just now, and he hasn't eased up yet. He watched Cao Rou gradually walk away, and felt in his heart that he and Cao Rou had a feeling of estrangement, he didn't know why? may be because Cao Rou became a princess.

Then everyone went into the house.
