The further north you go, the denser the mountains become.
When we arrived at Yuesanguan Pass, it was almost evening.
The setting sun gradually sets in the west, hanging in the western sky and dyeing the sky red.
It gradually fell down again, until most of it was blocked by the mountain, and only half of the face could be seen.
The last thing you can see is the brilliant clouds floating on the distant mountains.
Boundless and magnificent.
What Ning Yan saw when she got out of the car was such a magnificent scene.
"Princess, the road ahead is long and narrow and the carriage is difficult to move.
Do you want to abandon the carriage and replace it with horses?"
Qingluan asked.
She smiled and said slowly: "No need, I'll walk over."
After that, she walked forward.
Qingluan quickly took out a fox fur cloak from the car and followed him.
"Princess, there is a strong wind in the mountains, so you should put on some clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Ning Yan stopped and let her put on the cloak for herself.
At this time, they were surrounded by mountains.
It was late autumn, and the leaves on many trees had withered and faded.
However, from a distance, it doesn't seem that desolate.
Ning Yan walked slowly, step by step, and she didn't feel strenuous at all.
He had walked with her through this journey.
But it was just after the severe winter and everything was born.
The mountains all around are still bare and not pretty at all.
She refused to ride a horse and insisted on walking.
When she couldn't walk anymore, she asked him to carry her on his back.
None of them thought that after so many years, she would take this path again, and now she is the only one left.
At this moment, in an inconspicuous small courtyard thousands of miles away in Yuecheng.
"Has the mountain master woke up yet?"
The woman in red clothes said urgently when the middle-aged man with a long beard and white robe came out.
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed: "The backlash is too shocking, and the meridians throughout the body are running backwards.
He must return to the Arashiyama Ice Room to rest as soon as possible.
In this situation, if he takes the Huanyang Pill again, his leg will probably be useless."
Huo Ying was stunned when she heard this, and for a moment she felt that her hands and feet had nowhere to rest.
He opened the door gently and walked into the room, seeing the handsome man lying on the bed and still unconscious.
She took out the handkerchief from her arms and gently wiped the sweat from his head.
But he grabbed his wrist violently.
In his coma, he still muttered: "A-Ning, An-Ning, An-Ning, don't leave, don't" She sheds tears slowly.
You are willing to risk life and death for her, and you don't even care about your own body.
But her heart is so big that you can't even hold it in.
She can't see or care about your life, death, illness, or pain.
And you, when will you be able to let go?
I don't know how long it took, but in the hazy state, a pair of hands gently touched her hair, as if comforting her.
She was startled and quickly looked up, only to find that the morning light was dim.
In a daze, he lay down by his window and slept all night.
The person on the bed seemed to have just woken up, but his eyes were still clear, staring at her intently.
"Why are you crying?"

he asked calmly.
"It's nothing, I just had a dream."
She touched the dried tears on her face, stood up quickly and took a step back.
He seemed to laugh softly: "It doesn't look like a pleasant dream."
"Well, it's a nightmare."
She lowered her head, trying not to show any expression in front of him.
He nodded and closed his eyes: "Go out."
The woman in red bowed and walked out of the room.
There is still unburnt soothing incense on the table, and countless tiny dust particles are floating, spinning and resting in the air.
The man tried hard to activate his energy, but found that his whole body seemed to be frozen, without any movement.
No matter how hard I try, everything remains quiet.
Finally, he gave up trying.
The last time this happened, it took him nearly a year to gradually recover.
How long will it take this time?
He smiled bitterly, unwilling to admit his weakness, but after all, he could not catch up with her flight.
Aning, this time, I may really let go.
Qingluan and Luo Hua entered the customs first with orders.
When Ning Yan slowly arrived, the sky was already dark.
Under this towering barrier that blocked hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, all the defenders held torches and stood silently at the city gate.
When Ning Yan's figure appeared, the whole army said in unison: "Welcome to Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
The surrounding valleys were silent, except this time it seemed like the ground was shaking.
Ning Yan was also startled, but before she could calm down her shock, a man in military armor came forward from the crowd, knelt down on one knee and said: "General Yue San, guard of the gate, Yue Jiang, meets the eldest princess.
The eldest princess is a thousand years old."
Thousands of years old.”
"General Yue, please get back on your feet."
She gave her a little support, then turned to the soldiers and said loudly: "All the soldiers have worked hard.
I went to Yuesanguan on behalf of the emperor, firstly for the ongoing war, and secondly for me.
The sons and daughters of Donghe who have been stationed at the border for many years.
You have fought on the battlefield and fought to the death for our country.
The safety of more than ten cities in the border depends on you.
I hope you can fulfill your mission and fight the enemy bravely."
The valley is not big, and there are people standing up and down the city wall, but Ning Yan's voice reaches everyone's ears clearly.
"Fulfill our mission and fight the enemy bravely" "Fulfill our mission and fight the enemy bravely" For a time, the mountains roared and the tsunami roared, and the soldiers were all excited.
Most of the people here have been guarding Yue San Pass all year round, and after these months of tiring battles, their morale is already low.
The enemy is attacking and we are defending, which is a very exhausting tug-of-war.
What is even more frightening is that the soldiers' fighting enthusiasm gradually wanes.
The arrival of Princess Donghe undoubtedly gave everyone reassurance and greatly boosted the morale of the army.
In Donghe, everyone from the young and old to the young Huangkou, princes, generals, ministers, traders and soldiers all admired the eldest princess.
After the commotion, the soldiers were patrolling or returning to camp.
Lu Li seemed to have received some news and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Ning Yan took Yue Jiang and Yuesan Gate Guard General to the camp to discuss matters.
"Tell me, what's the current situation?"
Ning Yan leaned on the wooden chair in the main seat and took a sip of tea.
"Back to the princess, the Nanwu Army is currently stationed on Sanqing Mountain, thirty miles away from here.
There used to be about 200,000 people.

Recently, according to spies, there are 50,000 horses whose whereabouts are unknown."
Yue Jiang said on a hand-drawn map Clicked on a location.
He added: "All their food and grass should be stored in Xiao Siming Mountain next to Sanqing Mountain.
Our army also wanted to make a surprise attack on their food and grass, but Xiao Siming Mountain was surrounded by cliffs on three sides.
Nanwu sent heavy troops to stand alone on the only way up the mountain.
There was no way. breakthrough" Ning Yan nodded and asked softly while thinking: "Who is leading the army in Nanwu now?"
A young white-robed general standing on the right replied: "Back to Princess, the one who is tackling the problem is General Mingwei Xiao Yuanqi, the retainer of the Ninth Prince Xiao Lin.
The one currently stationed here is the Ninth Prince himself."
Ning Yan glanced at him lightly and said, "How is Nanwu's military strength?"
"Strong soldiers and horses make for a formidable enemy.
And Xiao Yuanqi is unfathomable.
If the general hadn't relied on the natural danger of Yue San Pass, he might not have been his opponent."
Yue Jiang said with shame.
Shaking her head, Ning Yan smiled: "General Yue, why should you be too humble?
I want you to be the guard of Yuesan Pass because I believe you can defend Yuesan Pass.
As for the Nanwu Army, the initial attack was too smooth.
The battle line is too long, and it will be difficult for supplies to keep up later, so the arrogant soldiers will be defeated."
"However, recently, Nanwu is still calling for battle at Guanxia every day.
The general feels that the Ninth Prince is coming back."
The middle-aged general with a Chinese character standing behind Yue Jiang spoke.
"I am afraid that the Ninth Prince will tackle the problem personally this time.
It is said that he is like a god in his military skills.
We can only do our best."
Ning Yan slowly stood up: "You are like a god in using soldiers.
I want to see it first.
When I left the capital, I sent a message to Shen Yu's army.
They will arrive in less than three days.
So, generals, you can relax." ” "We are willing to listen to the eldest princess's orders and we will not give up even if we die."
All the generals bowed down one after another.
Ning Yan smiled and said: "That's very good.
Thank you for your help, generals."
Just as she was about to leave, Ning Yan suddenly remembered something and asked, "If I remember correctly, doesn't your lieutenant have another Cen Jia?"
The tent became quiet for a while, and a bearded man said bitterly: "That bitch Cen Jia has surrendered to Nanwu and is now in the Nanwu army."
"Surrender" Ning Yan's voice suddenly became louder and her face became as cold as ice, "Why didn't I receive any news?"
"Princess, calm down."
Yue Jiang said: "Calculate the time, when the news reaches the imperial capital, the princess will just leave the capital, so she did not know about it."
Ning Yan sneered and said: "Do you think that if you surrender to Nanwu, there will be nothing you can do against him?"
"Such treasonous villains should be cut into pieces with thousands of swords," the general with the Chinese character said through gritted teeth.
Everyone said one after another: "Death by a thousand cuts" "Yes, it is not an exaggeration to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."
Yue Jiang waved his hand to signal for silence.
"Princess, don't worry.
If you encounter that dog thief on the battlefield someday, the general will definitely kill him with a knife.
And hang his head in front of Yuesan's gate to frighten people."
Ning Yan patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "This makes me feel at ease.
In addition, I have to trouble General Yue to send someone to deliver the topographic map of Yuesan Pass and nearby areas to my tent."

"The general will obey his orders" When he returned to his account, Qingluan had already fallen asleep on the couch.
He didn't know what he was dreaming about, but he still had a smile on his lips.
Ning Yan stepped lightly and put the fox fur cloak on her body.
Then he returned to the table, illuminated by the dim oil lamp, and looked through the records of the previous two key research projects, and then carefully examined the terrain near Yuesan Pass.
The situation at Yuesan Pass is very dangerous, with Da Siming Mountain to the south.
There is Cangyan Mountain in the southwest, and Huizhou City is close to the south of the mountain; in the north there is Yingchuan River and Canglan River hugging the pass, and in the west it is close to Mount Emei.
Surrounded by vast valleys and abyss, high mountains and narrow roads, traffic is extremely inconstant, making it difficult for carriages and horses to travel together.
Although Yue Jiang was praised a lot in the camp just now, it has to be said that without the easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain of Yue San Pass, Yue Jiang would probably not be able to defend Yue San Pass based on his combat capabilities alone.
Sighing, in the huge Donghe, only a few generals of Shen Yujun could barely stand alone under her training, and the others were unable to support themselves.
After all, an army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.
If this matter can be resolved, we should reorganize the army and select a few capable people.
He rubbed his eyebrows, it was already early morning.
She couldn't fall asleep even while lying on the bed, so she put on some clothes and walked out of the tent.
There was a warm charcoal fire burning in the tent, but the wind was really biting outside.
As soon as she took a step out, a bit of cold air hit her face, making her whole body tremble.
The howling north wind cut like a knife on her exposed face, and the sharp stinging sensation was no less than that of the Wind Roar Cave in Guilan Mountain.
From a distance, I saw a glimmer of light on the tower, and couldn't help but walk up the tower step by step towards the light
