Behind the ruined temple was a small forest, and behind the woods there was a road, which was large enough for three or four horses to walk side by side, and the official road was lined with mountains.

Xu Changan carried Qian Laosan on his back and helped Su Qing, and the three of them stumbled out of the woods, Xu Changan looked at the uncovered official road, and then looked at the mountains on both sides, gritted his teeth, and ran along the official road.

He had no choice but to gamble that the pursuers would think they would run towards the mountain.

They had only walked on their front feet, and a man and a horse appeared at the edge of the woods, smiling.

"Xu Changan, you are really smart!" a smug smile appeared on the eldest prince's face.

He touched his chin and thought for a long time, then smiled softly, his thin and scarlet lips could not stop his white teeth, and his white hair moved with the breeze.

"In that case, then I'll choose a cemetery for you, then it's in the border mountain!"

......

The border mountain is also called the Manxue Mountain, or the Manxue Mountain.

Because this is the border between Tongzhou and Beiban, the people of Tongzhou call him the border mountain. The people of the Northern Barbarians call him the Snow Mountain, because as long as you cross this mountain, you will reach the bitter cold land of the Northern Barbarians, a place where there are three seasons like winter in the four seasons of the year.

Therefore, the people of the Holy Dynasty also called him the Wild Snow Mountain.

The snow-capped mountain has long been covered by heavy snow, the snow that has not passed the knees of ordinary people makes this mountain like a trap, you never know how deep it will be when you step on it, and it is more uncomfortable than the fear of crossing the river by touching the stones. Even if it is the soldiers of the Northern Barbarians, they do not dare to run around on the snowy mountains on a snowy day, unless there are old herdsmen who have survived on the snowy mountains for decades to lead the way, and those old herdsmen, with their eyes closed, can know where there are pits and where there are holes within a hundred steps.

An old shepherd was very excited, and he wore a brown hat made of cowhide, and a large, red nose, which was not made red by drinking.

The Beiban Mountains are high and cold, so most of them have big noses, and they are very strong, but a little short. The shepherds who graze freely in the northern barbarians carry leather whips with them, and with leather whips, those cattle and sheep with long hair will be obedient.

This old shepherd has lived alone on this snow-capped mountain for a long time, not because it is conducive to grazing. It's just that his wife and children died a long time ago, and he had a bad temper when he was young, and he didn't have many friends, so he could only come to the snow-capped mountains to graze, and he couldn't grab the rest of the places, and sometimes he was quite envious of those southerners of the Holy Dynasty, and heard that their court would distribute land, and there was really no land to work for the landlord's family.

But today, he didn't envy the people of the Holy Dynasty at all, he felt that he had finally paid off after holding on to this snow-capped mountain for more than ten years.

A group of people approached him, about forty or fifty. They are still showing their arms in this snowy season. Seeing their strong and dark arms, the old shepherd subconsciously touched his already thin arms.

It wasn't just the young and powerful men who excited him even more, it was their mounts.

The white, foal-sized wolves were no different from the big dogs that the herdsmen used to graze, and the men jumped down, and the wolves sat down obediently.

"It's so good, it's used to herd cattle and sheep, do I think those cubs still dare to run around?"

The snow-white wolf seemed to understand the old herdsman's words, showing his scarlet gums, and looked at the old herdsman with bared teeth, and the old herdsman was taken aback.

A stout young man approached, his upper body also bare, and he held a long whip in his hand. The old shepherd saw that he had jumped from the strongest and most powerful wolf, and it seemed that he was the leader.

"Hello Your Royal Highness, may I ask what Your Highness commands?"

Mo Han raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man.

"How do you know I'm a prince?"

The old herdsman smiled slightly, bowed forward and said: "I have lived here for many years, and when I go down the mountain, it is the territory of the Central Plains, and I occasionally use cattle and sheep to trade with them, and I know a lot of news." I heard that the eldest prince went to Tongzhou, and he also beat the eldest prince of the Central Plains, and raised the prestige of my northern barbarians. Moreover, these wolves are the descendants of the barbarian gods at first glance, and His Highness came down from the head wolf, so you don't need to think much about it. You are Prince Mohan, the youngest snow wolf rider in the entire history of the Northern Barbarians, and you will also lead our Northern Barbarians back to glory!"

Although Mo Han is young, he has been riding and crawling for many years in the snow wolf, and waved his hand without caring about this useless compliment: "Don't say it if you don't have it, if you can bring my brother back smoothly this time, I will give you a large piece of good grassland, give you 10,000 cattle and sheep, and even help you find another mother-in-law." ”

When it comes to the mother-in-law, the old herdsman's eyes shine, he has been lonely and widowed for more than ten years, and he has almost forgotten the warmth of home.

"Do you know what's your use?" Mohan's expression was solemn, he didn't want to find a stupid and stupid guide.

"Yes, yes. The old herdsman immediately nodded and said. "I don't dare to say the rest of the place, on this snow-capped mountain, I know even with my eyes closed, and I will never let you adults and wolves suffer a little loss. Mo Han nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the wooden house built by the old herdsman himself, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The tent of the Northern Barbarians is like faith, but today I saw a Northern Barbarian living in a wooden house, but Mo Han didn't think much about it.

He waved his hand, and forty or fifty men immediately took some packages from the wolf, and soon the tent was set up, and Mohan ordered his men to send some food and daily necessities to the old herdsman, and the old herdsman was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Mo Han clapped his hands, and the soldiers of the snow wolf rode also clapped their hands. Mohan's mount heard the signal from his master, barked twice at the rest of the snow wolves, turned around and disappeared into the mountains.

The wolves got the signal from the head wolf and immediately dispersed.

Seeing the situation outside through the window, the old herdsman tiptoed out of the house, and he kept his footsteps very low, for fear of alarming the tent not far away.

He went to a hidden place, took out a falcon from behind him, and tied a note to its feet. Soon, the falcon disappeared into the snow.

in tents.

Mo Han sighed and took out a secret letter.

The secret letter contains the specific steps and time of the frost test operation, including how to raid and how to besiege, and the entire frost test plan is in this small secret letter.

The frost test plan can be regarded as one of the most important plans of the entire Holy Dynasty this winter, and it fell into the hands of Mo Han like this, if the nobles of Chang'an knew about it, it was estimated that they would be angry.

In fact, if it weren't for this secret letter, Mo Han wouldn't have dared to personally lead the team out, let alone arrange for the army to press to the border.

After all, today's Shuohe Department is not as good as it was back then, even if it has the world's famous snow wolf ride, it can only be self-preservation.

If it weren't for the payment on this secret letter, he wouldn't dare to press to the border and lead a pair of snow wolf riders to raid by himself.

He had no choice, for the sake of his brother, he could only choose to believe in the payment, even if it was a trap, he admitted it.

There are only three words on the inscription, and there is no seal.

"Xu Zhenwu. ”

......

When Qian Laosan woke up, it was already dark, and they stayed in an inn, for some reason, when they arrived at Zhenmanfu, there was not a single wanted warrant for them.

Qian Laosan struggled hard, but it didn't play a role, Xu Changan sealed his limbs, and with Xu Changan's cultivation at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm, restricting an ordinary person is not hand-to-hand?

Qian Laosan slowly quieted down, looking at the ceiling with blank eyes, his body seemed to be quiet, his lips kept buzzing, and the upper and lower lips pulled out a trace of sticky threads, and a large tear fell from his eyes after decades of crawling and rolling without crying.

Xu Changan looked at Qian Laosan and sighed slowly, Su Qing propped up one foot on the stool, took a sip of wine, and sighed leisurely.

"You promise me not to get excited, I'll untie it for you. Xu Changan said softly.

Xu Changan said and put a little on Qian Laosan's limbs, and Qian Laosan's limbs felt a feeling of soreness and numbness, and the tense person suddenly relaxed.

Xu Changan was still guarding against him at any time, for fear that he would do something excessive, but he didn't expect Qian Laosan to just turn around and fall asleep facing the wall.

It was getting late, and nothing happened in the afternoon, which made Xu Changan more and more uneasy, he knew that the eldest prince would not give up so easily, but today was as ordinary as an ordinary day, the snow was still heavy outside the window, and the water boiling on the stove in the house was boiling, and the lid of the pot was constantly knocking.

Seeing that the night was getting thicker, Xu Changan looked around, glanced at Su Qing, one of them took the sword, and the other took the knife.

"Where are you going?" the two of them were about to go out when the voice behind them stunned them.

Su Qing glanced at Xu Chang'an, turned his head, sat down, and leaned against the window.

"We want to clean up the bones of our brothers......," Xu Changan said quietly, after all, the group of people died for them.

Tears appeared in Qian Laosan's eyes, and he stood up tremblingly, like an old man who was about to die.

"Okay......" He was only halfway through his words, and immediately shook his head desperately: "No, no, you are not allowed to go." ”

Xu Changan was confused.

"You can't go, and if you go, your brothers will die in vain. ”

Qian Laosan shook his head dejectedly and leaned against the bed: "People like us have no intention of returning to their hometown since they did this errand!"

......

The inns are on both sides of the road, as the saying goes, it's not that the enemies don't get together. Xu Chang'an is also an inn opposite their inn, if Xu Changan pokes his head out of the window, he will definitely see an acquaintance.

Opposite the inn.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the one-armed man turned to look and knelt down respectfully: "Meet Your Highness." ”

"They've rested enough during the day, how are they going to be lively at night?"

The voice of the Great Prince rang out.

"Second son Zhao?"
