The story of their grievances began three days ago.

The Qisheng Dynasty had a vast territory, bordering Beiying in the north and facing Nanhao across the Huanshui River in the south, occupying all the rich land in the Central Plains.

Hulao Pass, located at the northernmost end of the Qisheng Dynasty, is known as an iron wall and is guarded by the Yebei Army.

The walls of the pass were high and the defenses were strong. Beiying had fought 20 battles, big and small, to capture Hulao Pass, but they could only sigh and return home.

Especially after the Battle of Manyue, Beiying was almost destroyed due to the slaughter, and after signing the treaty, they did not dare to set foot in the Central Plains for twenty years.

Only after the new Wolf King took the throne did he tear up the treaty and provoke a war three years ago, and ultimately perished together with the elite troops of the Yebei Army.

Beiying finally calmed down.

Years of war have left this important border town with a murderous atmosphere in the air. Men, women, and children in the town have learned how to use swords, guns, sticks, and clubs since childhood, and are good at riding horses. It can be said that everyone is a soldier, and the people are tough.

Ever since the elite Yebei Army was annihilated three years ago, the once mighty arrogance of Hulao Pass seemed to have disappeared as well, leaving only the new Saibei Army and the old Yebei Army's side branches struggling to hold on.

Fortunately, Beiying was also severely damaged and was unable to march south again in a short period of time.

There are still three years until the Full Moon Treaty expires.

Hulao Pass is located in the bitterly cold area of ​​the northern frontier. It is only September now, but snowflakes are already falling.

That morning, just after daybreak, the cold wind biting into the bone, freezing the gatekeeper's hands red, so he could only wrap himself tightly in his winter clothes.

The strange sound of wind that came from time to time made him extremely nervous and he dared not relax for a moment.

At this time, amid the sound of wind and snow, one seemed to hear faint sounds of horse hooves and neighing, but when one listened carefully, one could not hear them clearly.

The gatekeepers suppressed their anger and forced themselves to climb up the city wall with their frozen legs to look out.

There was a vast expanse of white in the distance, and then a gust of wind blew the ground away, and nothing could be seen.

He climbed down the city wall cursing, and before the gatekeeper could even take a bite of his frozen, hard-cooked biscuit, he heard someone banging on the door, one sound louder than the last.

"Who is coming?" Reluctantly putting down the sesame cake, he became alert and shouted in his hoarse voice.

But the wind was too loud and the sound of smashing the city gate continued.

The soldiers guarding the gate became alert. After three years of peace, they thought that Beiying might invade again.

The remaining blood of the soldiers swept away the coldness in his body, and he suddenly grabbed the drumstick.

Three years later, the sound of war drums once again resounded through Hulao Pass.

As soon as the inspiring voice sounded, the gate of Yebei Military Mansion, located not far from the city gate, suddenly opened.

When Gu Junwen's grandfather Gu Kaijiang first built the headquarters at Hulao Pass, he said that the Yebei Military Headquarters must be built as close to the city gate as possible.

If unfortunately the enemy breaks through the city, unless all the Yebei soldiers are killed in battle, we must not let the enemy penetrate into the city and hurt any civilians.

In less than an incense stick of time, teams of soldiers wearing iron armor and holding spears poured out of the Yebei Military Headquarters and headed straight for the city gate.

Although the elite troops of Yebei Army have been destroyed, the military spirit and flag still exist. As long as there is one person left, foreign enemies will never be allowed to set foot in Qisheng.

The military flag flutters in the wind, and the word "night" sways in the wind.

"Deputy General Shen." The gatekeeper trotted over and bowed to the general at the front of the team.

"What's going on." Deputy General Shen held a spear in his hand, looking majestic and full of murderous aura.

"Reporting to the deputy general, someone is banging on the city gate. At this time of year, I am afraid that it is Beiying who is invading, so,"

"Ridiculous!" Deputy General Shen Ze was in a bad mood and kicked the soldier to the ground. "How can you be so shameless! You beat the drum without finding out the military situation. Do you know your crime?"

"Deputy General!" A soldier who had already climbed up the city wall to check the news came running to report.

"There are a thousand soldiers outside the city gate, all of them are wearing cotton robes and coats, unlike the clothes of the Northern Ying people."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ze glared at the gatekeeper and said, "Have you asked the identity of the visitor?"

"I claim to be King Ye Nanyi of the South. I have come here in compliance with the imperial decree and am ordered to take one person away." The soldier repeated everything.

"Ye Nanyi, the imperial decree." Chen Ze's eyes dimmed and he said loudly, "Open the city gate!"

With a creaky sound, the heavy city gate slowly opened.

Through the wind and snow, a man riding on a snow-walking horse, which was famous for its speed, appeared in everyone's eyes.

He was wearing a scarlet cotton cape with water patterns and a rain-silk brocade robe. He looked like a young man from the south of the Yangtze River, without any trace of military life.

This is the wealthy young man of Nanjing Metropolis, Jiangnan, who was raised under the desperate protection of Ye Beijun.

The Southern King Ye Nanyi.

Ye Nanyi on the horse pulled the reins, took out the yellow cloth scroll, slowly opened his lips, and said in a magnetic and low voice: "Here is the imperial edict, where is Gu Junwen?"

When Chen Ze led the soldiers to kneel on one knee, he suddenly remembered that he had not seen the figure of Major General Gu Junwen when the drum sounded this morning.

He knew something was wrong.

Everyone in Saibei knows that Gu Junwen, the Major General of the Yebei Army, was born to be on the battlefield. He became famous in one battle at a young age, and his military deployment seemed to be assisted by gods and ghosts.

It’s a pity that after being rescued at all costs three years ago, Gu Junwen became depressed and stayed indoors, and he also developed a strange habit: fear of cold.

Growing up in the bitterly cold land of the northern frontier, and as a tough guy of the Gu family, it would be a joke if the news that Gu Junwen was afraid of the cold got out.

In fact, it was not Gu Junwen's fault. Before she traveled through the book, she had lived in the beautiful Jiangnan area, where even a few snowflakes were rare. She had never seen the bitter cold land of Saibei with wind for three days and snow for two days.

What's more, Xianyu doesn't have big dreams. She just wants to live a life of idleness and wait for death in peacetime.

As long as Beiying was not invading and the country was not in danger of being destroyed, she would never want to step out of Yebei General's Mansion.

"It is just as the rumors say," Ye Nanyi, who was riding on his horse, chuckled softly, "If that is the case, then I will personally go to General Gu's house to receive your order. Go!"

The people of Hulao Pass all remember that day when a white horse carried a handsome man straight to the Yebei Military Headquarters.

Not long after, the man dragged Gu Junwen, whose hands and feet were tied, out quickly and threw him into the accompanying carriage.

That thud sounded painful.

"It's unfortunate for the Gu family." The auntie on the street kept shaking her head and sighing, but when she thought of the recent rumors, she backed off.

"In compliance with the emperor's decree, we urgently summon Mr. Gu from the Gu family to the capital. There must be no mistake." After the soldier unfolded the scroll and read it aloud, he bowed, turned his horse's head and returned to the team.

"I obey your order." Chen Ze and other former members of the Yebei Army could only watch as Gu Junwen was tied into a carriage and disappeared in the wind and snow.

Chen Ze looked quietly in the direction of Kyoto. He loved and hated the people in that city.

Young General, I just hope you can survive in the fierce situation in Kyoto. You have been preparing for three years.

If Gu Jun heard what Chen Ze was thinking, he would be so angry that he would jump to his feet.

Let me emphasize again that she, Gu Junwen, is just a lazy person with no ambition.

Damn it, why do people have to speculate about her for no reason? Isn't it nice to just eat and drink every day?

"Zhang Xing!" Shen Ze stood up.

"I'm here!" a tall man answered loudly.

"Go tell An An that the Major General is coming to Kyoto."

"yes."
