The large iron ore mine in the Red Valley belongs to the military of the Ivan Kingdom -- like Middle-earth, iron ore is a strategic resource that cannot bypass the military. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Whoever dares to approach the Red Valley, the military will not spare them, and they will pay a large fine at best, or they will be arrested to mine.

But in fact, the guards of the Red Valley are very loose, they are notorious, they don't worry that others will sneak in, and they have to worry about not letting the slaves and prisoners in the valley escape.

The important place they guarded was only about 20 miles away, there was the mouth of the mine, and other places, they could inspect once a day, even if they were diligent, but in winter, they might not inspect once a month.

Therefore, Li Yongsheng and his entourage of more than 100 people, as well as a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, actually bypassed the guards and entered the Red Valley.

After coming in, it was much easier to hide, Li Yongsheng laid a large barrier on the slope of the sunny side, with a radius of one mile, and those Ivan soldiers would definitely not be able to see the abnormality if they did not directly break into the formation.

After the formation was set up, the day dawned, everyone ate some dry food at will, some began to sleep and meditate, and some went out to inquire about the news--among those who went out even included three Rouran slaves who had recovered relatively well.

Among the dozen or so Rouran slaves, half of them could speak Ivan fluently, while only a few of the people from Middle Earth knew Ivan, and several of them were Gongsun Weiming.

There is no way, nine times out of ten, the cultivators who came with me this time are cultivators from the northwest and due north of Middle-earth, and most of the cultivators who are more familiar with Ivan are in the northeast.

In fact, Li Yongsheng was very curious, how could Gongsun Weiming, as a high-level real person, learn Ivan's dialect -- isn't this too idle? Huyan scholar said with disdain, "He must be trying to make Ivan women." ”

Gongsun Weiming swore that he was not that kind of person, "I'm not used to soaking old hair, the hair is too heavy, and many people have fox smell." ”

Huyan Scholar continued to despise him, ", Rouran women don't take a bath, you don't sleep very well in Chunhua?"

I have to admit that the charm of the unspecified permit is not covered, and the day after crossing the mountain, he and Chunhua both stayed and flew - Rouran women don't like to hide it, falling in love with someone is love, anyway, she has the permission of the eldest lady.

It is said that now Chunhua is looking for death and life, and wants to return to Middle-earth with Gongsun Weiming.

When Gongsun Weiming heard this, he really couldn't bear it, "My Gongsun family and Iwan are in a constant fight, and the elders of the clan will talk to Iwan, in order to know themselves and know their ......."

In short, the Middle-earth people took care of the Rouran slaves, ostensibly claiming that it was to make them recover as soon as possible, but the Rouran people didn't think much about it, and when they encountered the reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, they also took the initiative to say that we would talk to Ivan and were willing to help investigate.

Li Yongsheng took such a guy and went out to find out the news -- he didn't search for the soul of Yi Wan, he could only talk softly.

The two of them were riding on the road, both of them were dressed in Yiwan's clothes, but when others looked at their faces, they knew that these two were Rouran.

I met several groups of people along the way, and when I saw them, they all showed disdain, and the status of Rouran people in the country of Ivan was really too low.

However, no one deliberately provoked them - the Rouran people who dared to walk on the road with such a swagger must have no problem with their identity.

In fact, even the biggest horse bandit leader in the Beijia grassland, the white wolf's team, has many Rouran outlaws.

When they were about to get to Smuk, someone finally stopped them.

It was a troop of Rouran cavalry, escorting three wagons to Smuk, and the wheels of the largest, four-horse carriage in the middle, got bogged down in the mud.

The roads here have always been poor, covered with snow in winter, and although the ground is hard, there may be ravines and deep potholes below, and in summer you can see the road clearly, but once the water passes, the land becomes wet and muddy.

This team of horses, almost a hundred people, were all tall horses, and on top were heavily armed Ivan cavalry.

Of the three carriages, the front and rear were both two-horse carts, and only the middle one was four-horse-pulled.

The identity of this group of people looked like they were either rich or expensive, and when Li Yongsheng and the others approached, two Ivanguo cavalrymen rode over, directly blocking their way, and muttered arrogantly.

Li Yongsheng didn't understand Iwan's words, so he saw the muddy water stepped on by the other party's horseshoe and splashed on him.

The Rouran slave spoke quickly, "My lord, they want us to go over and help with the cart. ”

Li Yongsheng looked at the mud spots on his body, "Hold the grass, what are you?" Tell him...... Get out!"

The Rouran slave quickly talked to the other party for a few words, but as a result, the Ivan cavalry whipped his horse whip and whipped at the Rouran slave.

As soon as Li Yongsheng raised his hand, a big white hand grabbed the opponent's whip, and with all his strength, he directly dragged the opponent off the war horse, and the opponent's right foot was still hanging on the stirrup, and he directly fell into the mouth and gnawed on the mud.

The Ivan cavalry on the side, who was originally sitting on their horses with a smile and watching, scolded angrily when they saw this, and four or five people rode over and raised their sabers.

As soon as Li Yongsheng raised his hand, he took off his spear and shook his hand to prick out a spear flower.

The Rouran slave was also a little bold, and even pulled out a scimitar.

Seeing that they had desperate plans, Iwan reined in the reins of his horse, and someone shouted at him.

The Rouran slave immediately translated, "My lord, they said that the carriage of Grand Duke Tiefu's family was stuck in the mud and asked us to help. ”

His voice trembled a little, this is Grand Duke Tiefu, the Grand Duke of the Ivan Kingdom, qualified to start a war between countries!

Li Yongsheng glanced at the carriage and scolded in his heart, the people in the carriage did not come down at all, and there were seven or eight of the Ivan cavalry around him who were pushing it, but it was obvious that the soldiers in the cart were the lowest existence in the army.

The onlookers of Ivan's cavalry, their riding boots were shiny, and even their spurs were spotless, and some people wore white gloves and looked at the soldiers for a long time.

Of course, most of everyone's eyes are now looking at the two Rouran people.

"Tell them, get out!" Li Yongsheng spoke arrogantly, in a soft voice, "I am an honored soldier from Your Majesty, and I do not accept any non-war call-up from the Grand Duke or below. ”

The Rouran people are in Ivan, and there are also people who mix well - strictly speaking, they are the Rouran race.

Like Middle-earth, Ivan is a multi-ethnic country, and the Ivan is the mainstream, but in fact, the Ivan is only a regional definition, with mixed bloodlines.

Compared with Iwan, the Rouran race is relatively short, but it is also a race with strong combat effectiveness, and in the army of the Ivan country, there are even generals of the Rouran race.

Ordinary Rouran soldiers are a little worse - basically the goods that push the carriage now, but the honored soldiers given by the king are different, although such honored soldiers are not few, and the military rank is not high, but they are all explosive in combat effectiveness and have made great contributions to the Ivan country.

Thanks to the master of forgery Zhang Laoshi, he made such a waist card for Li Yongsheng.

The Ivan cavalry on the opposite side was also stunned for a moment when they heard the words of the interpreter - the status of the honored soldier is indeed very high.

However, it is obvious that they are the Iwan people of one color, and they look down on the Rouran people in their bones, so the cavalry leading the team spoke arrogantly, "Take your waist card!"

After inspecting Li Yongsheng's waist card, he casually threw the waist card back and spoke loudly, "Since you are an honored soldier, why can't you speak Chinese, could it be a traitor?"

Li Yongsheng sneered, "Meritorious soldier, qualified to bring an interpreter, this is His Majesty's will, is it the Grand Duke of Tiefu...... Set your own set of rules?"

He can't be wrong, but strictly speaking, it's not particularly timely.

This rule of the Ivan Kingdom has been around for a long time, in order to motivate the soldiers to fight bravely, even if the foreign soldiers who are obedient cannot be promoted for various reasons, but they will also create good treatment for them.

However, since the war followed the southeast and had a major friction with Middle-earth, the country of Ivan has not had too many battles in the past twenty years, so there are very few honored soldiers.

And the honored soldier of twenty years ago, where is there still who can't speak Ivan?

So the officer Ivan who led the team also sneered and waved his hand, "Come on, capture this spy for me!"

He wasn't sure that the other party was a spy, but he was a personal guard under the Grand Duke, and seeing that the two Rouran trash dared to put on such a score, he had to let the other party understand what the dignity of the Grand Duke was.

Gray cattle are gray animals, and even if they are honored soldiers, they are still of an inferior race.

Li Yongsheng snorted coldly, threw a stone to the Rouran slave, shook the spear in his hand, and shouted, "Open the Shadow Stone, I'll ask again...... Doesn't Grand Duke Tiefu recognize the honored soldiers of the Empire?"

Where had this Rouran slave ever seen such a high-grade Lingering Stone? He had only heard of the Lingering Stone.

After he hurriedly took the Shadow Stone, he didn't rush to translate, but exclaimed, "This is the Shadow Stone?"

Li Yongsheng sighed in his heart, you are also the interpreter of the honored soldiers, don't look like a turtle like this, okay?

He calculated it, but he still didn't calculate it, and in the end, it was this guy who dropped the chain.

There is no more than one big battle.

However, what he didn't expect was that Iwan was stunned.

Among the Iwan people in front, there are also people who understand Rouran's words, and after hearing the words "Shadow Stone", someone shouted in Iwan dialect, "Be careful, the other party has a Shadow Stone in his hand!"

Then, the Rouran slave translated Li Yongsheng's words.

The officer Ivan who led the team was a little blind, the Shadow Stone was not terrible, what he was worried about was that if the other party escaped and reported the matter, he would have a hard time.

Iwan has always been harsh and arrogant to the people below, and he doesn't take human life seriously at all, however, once Grand Duke Tiefu is angry because of this, his small life is like an ant in the eyes of the Grand Duke.

Just to enlist two soldiers to help with the cart, to take such a big risk, it seems...... It's a bit of a no-deal.

At this moment, he didn't think about it, the other party was a spy, and he dared to do it to the Grand Duke's officers, who had such a big boldness?

He was ignoring it when he saw the side of the muddy carriage in front of him move, and a slender palm lifted the curtain of the side window.
