General Ren's eyes were cold. What Han Shan said was true. King Qi's fiefdom was located in the south of the Great Yan Dynasty. It had convenient waterways and prosperous business. It was also an important tax collection center for the Great Yan Dynasty. The people here had become accustomed to a peaceful life, and the soldiers were afraid of fighting. If King Yu's army attacked, he believed that they would be defeated quickly.
"This is not something you and the common people should be concerned about, Lingbing!"
"exist!"
"Expel these people from the border. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed without mercy." General Ren said this and turned to leave.
"Yes!" A team of government troops surrounded the wooden house where Lin Feng and others lived.
"Uncle Han, let's go!" Lin Feng was very distressed. This bastard won't give him a way to live!
Han Shan nodded and said to Lin Feng, "Don't worry, little brother. I'll find a place for us to stay after we get out of the customs."
"Do you have a suitable place?" Lin Feng asked.
Han Shan nodded. "My sect's disciples travel abroad all year round, and I overheard them mention it once. Fifty miles east of the Jingmen Pass mountain range, there's a circular mountain that's easy to defend but difficult to attack. There's also a small town on the plain in the middle of the mountain. The environment is quite pleasant."
Lin Feng thought about it and nodded in agreement. They really had nowhere else to go now.
After returning to the cabin, Lin Feng explained the situation.
"Jingyi, after we settle down, we will find a way to notify your family and then bring them over to live with us." Seeing that his wife looked a little depressed, Lin Feng persuaded her.
Come to think of it, she was about to be reunited with her family, but now something happened again. It's a bit sad.
"Yeah!" Yang Jingyi nodded. She was in a bad mood.
"Alas!" Father Lin sighed. This was such a rollercoaster! But what could be done? Now that it had happened, the family had to work together to get through it.
The group packed up their things, put the bicycle frame on Xiao Hei, and then left the pass under the supervision of the government troops.
After passing the pass, the ox cart pulled everyone eastward towards the crater.
We walked fifty miles until it was dark. The road condition was not very good, so we had to set up camp on the spot. We should be able to reach the crater by tomorrow morning.
…
What Lin Feng and others didn't expect was that something happened at the pass after they left.
The black bee swarm attacked the pass in an overwhelming manner, causing countless casualties to the defenders there, and even the civilians suffered. The quarantine compound was also visited by the black bee swarm, and few escaped. Lin Feng and his group were lucky, and they avoided the bee disaster by accident.
The black bee swarm took the lead. After the attack was completed, a team of mysterious men in black robes swaggered into the pass. Then they blew the bone whistle, and the black bee swarms were very obedient and returned to the prepared wooden boxes.
After the man in black robe entered, he waited there. Not long after, a large army arrived at the city wall of Jingmen Pass. The number of them was astonishing.
The neighing of war horses resounded through the sky. The cavalry entered first, numbering more than 100,000, followed closely by the infantry, about 400,000. There were also 30,000 to 40,000 baggage, cattle, horses, and vehicles, and tens of thousands of archers.
These people surrounded a large central military tent. In the tent stood a flag with two big characters "King of the North" written on it.
What is strange is that these people's clothing is very inconsistent. Most of them are wearing fur products and a felt hat on their heads. They don't look like the army of the Great Yan Dynasty at all.
It took the large group of people more than half a day to enter the pass. After everyone entered, the city gate at the pass was closed again and the drawbridge over the moat was raised.
Inside the central army tent, several black-robed men knelt respectfully on the ground. An elderly man in a black robe reported to a middle-aged man, "Reporting to the Northern King, our first step of the plan was successful. The pass has fallen into our hands. I have ordered the guards to be strengthened. We will not allow the Yu King and the Great Yan court's army to enter Jingmen Pass."
The middle-aged man known as the King of the North had a full beard and a pair of bright eyes under his sword-like eyebrows. There was a kingly aura in his eyes. When you looked into his eyes, you would feel frightened and gave people a deep sense of oppression.
The Northern King nodded and said in a cold voice, "Your Liman clan has done well and made the greatest contribution this time. It is precisely because of this that our Northern Barbarian Dynasty was able to capture the Jingmen Pass without bloodshed. I will reward you with the city of Liman so that you can establish your clan."
The old man in black robe said respectfully, "Thank you, King Bei, for your generous reward. We will follow you until death."
The Northern King waved his hand and asked them to stand up and talk.
"Has there been any news from your people?" asked the King of the North.
"Reporting to the King of the North, the tribesmen have sent news that King Yu is fighting a fierce battle with the imperial army. King Yu's army is powerful, and the imperial army of one million is a bunch of idiots. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long." The old man in black robe replied.
The Northern King smiled and said, "King Yu, King Yu, we have been fighting for so many years. Weren't you on guard against us? But you didn't expect that our Northern Barbarian Army has already penetrated the heart of your Great Yan Dynasty, hahahaha!"
"The King of the North is wise and brave, while the King of Yu is a clown." The old man in black robe complimented.
"It's not all due to me, a small Northern King, but also to my wise father! The follow-up army is also on the march and will arrive soon." After the Northern King finished speaking, he saluted towards the north.
Everyone quickly agreed.
"After a day of rest, the army will continue to advance. I want to see how prosperous King Qi's fiefdom is, hahaha!" King Bei stroked his beard and laughed.
"Report! We have captured the garrison commander Ren Gang." A barbarian soldier reported outside the tent.
"Elder Yin, investigate him. If he is of no value, use his head as a sacrifice when we go into battle tomorrow," the Northern King ordered.
