One day later.

The endless blizzard in the sky is still falling as always.

The dilapidated Beifeng City is already crawling like a giant beast on the only way for the barbarians to go south, but the barbarians who have just completely occupied this giant city have begun to withdraw from this giant city one after another.

They didn't understand the king's order, but because they trusted the king, they still obeyed it.

After the roving wolf cavalry received the war supplies provided by the sect, the huge barbarian army passed by the endless sect camps and headed north under the cover of the blizzard.

The scene of two huge armies that are hostile to each other tacitly understanding each other is as weird as a pantomime.

Both sides are so vigilant, but they also maintain restraint.

And while this weird scene is going on,

In a snow forest two hundred miles to the north, a group of hundreds of remnant soldiers were taking a short rest.

It was very quiet in the snow forest, and most people were silently running their exercises to restore the little energy left in their bodies.

Li Qingyan sat quietly cross-legged in the middle of the military formation, closing his eyes and concentrating, with a tired look on his heroic face.

I don’t know how much time has passed in the swaying wind and snow,

A man in a purple python suit floated down in the blizzard, with some lightning arcs still surrounding him.

As soon as Li Zhaoyuan landed, a woman wearing a red unicorn official uniform immediately stood up and bowed:

"Your Highness."

Li Zhaoyuan glanced sideways at her:

"Mengxi, there is no need to be polite, take the time to adjust your injury."

Xu Mengxi quickly lowered his head and saluted:

"Thanks to the elixir given by His Highness, Meng Xi's injuries no longer affect his actions at this moment."

In a city-defending battle in such a desperate situation, those who have an out-of-character character and are more upright will often suffer the most serious injuries.

Xu Mengxi is not Zhou Chen's sixth brother. When the war started, he deliberately took on the barbarian totem, pretended to be dead, and hid in the rear to recuperate.

In the final offensive and defensive battle on the northern city wall, Xu Mengxi fought to the death. If Li Zhaoyuan had not come to rescue her, she would have been beaten into a puddle of flesh and blood by the barbarian totem.

Li Zhaoyuan's deep black eyes showed just the right amount of softness:

"In the future, we may encounter the wolf cavalry of the barbarians wandering outside. Then don't rush forward."

Xu Mengxi's red lips curled up slightly when she heard this, and when she was about to say something more, Li Zhaoyuan waved her hand:

"Okay, you rest first. I have something to ask Qing Yan."

"Yes." Xu Mengxi looked slightly disappointed, but still nodded, sitting cross-legged and breathing.

Silently walking to Li Qingyan, Li Zhaoyuan slowly sat down.

Li Qingyan also opened his closed eyes at this time and asked:

"Second brother, how is the situation?"

Although he is a nobleman of Tianhuang, as the person with the highest cultivation level among the remaining soldiers, Li Zhaoyuan took over the task of scouting without any complaints.

After a moment of silence, Li Zhaoyuan glanced at the south and said in a low tone:

"The barbarians have reached an agreement with the clan. Now that the barbarians have begun to move north, they are most likely preparing to take over the Houting County area."

Li Qingyan nodded slightly:

"This speed is earlier than I expected, but it will take at least a day."

Li Zhaoyuan pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice:

"Qing Yan, are we still going to Houting County now?"

"Yeah." Li Qingyan nodded.

Li Zhaoyuan frowned slightly:

"There should be people from the sect staying over there now. If the sect in the north really reaches an agreement with the barbarians"

At this point, he did not continue, but the meaning was already very clear.

After being defeated in Beifeng, the reason why they chose Houting County instead of going to the sect camp outside Beifeng City was because they were worried that the sect would sell them directly to the barbarians as bargaining chips.

Today's hundreds of remnant soldiers are no match for those sects.

Once you enter their camp, hundreds of them will disappear quietly.

In other words, going to the Houting County area will also have the same risk.

When the barbarian army arrived, the sect's border troops who stayed in Houting County could also make them disappear silently as long as they were held back.

Li Qingyan's red eyes showed no emotion or anger, and he asked in a calm voice:

"Second brother, do you think the barbarian king will really abide by the agreement he made with the clan?"

"What?" Li Zhaoyuan murmured subconsciously, his eyes a little strange.

Li Qingyan raised his eyes and glanced at the thick snow clouds above the academy:

"Second brother, what the Northern Sect wants to see is that the barbarians fight against the elites of our court, while they sit back and watch, but the ultimate goal of the barbarian king from the beginning to the end is to break the Beifeng City and go south to invade us.

Great inflammation."

"If you put yourself in the position of the barbarian king, I would be more inclined to think that the barbarians would take advantage of the sect's elite squad to launch a surprise attack on them when they enter the city."

"Raid?"

Li Zhaoyuan frowned even more tightly: "The Barbarian King now knows that we have a magical weapon like Yunqi Bullet to dispel blizzards. Without time, if they don't use the city or some geographical advantages to fight fiercely in the wild, their chances of winning are almost zero."<

/p>

Li Qingyan shook his head:

"So the barbarian king waited for a day."

Li Zhaoyuan looked thoughtful:

"One day?"

Li Qingyan narrowed his eyes slightly and his voice was a little hoarse:

"At this time of the day, King Man may be waiting for the sect to offer a higher price, but in fact, I am more inclined to think that he is judging whether the elite of the sect has a third Yun Qi bomb. After all, if there is, the sect will

All we need to do is explode another Yunqi bomb under Beifeng City to disperse the blizzard, and they can only compromise obediently."

Li Zhaoyuan was silent for a few breaths and slowly stood up.

Li Qingyan stopped him:

"Second brother, where are you going?"

Li Zhaoyuan replied naturally:

"Of course we are going to monitor the movements in Beifeng City. If there is a fight between the sect and the barbarians, we need first-hand information."

Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes revealed a touch of amusement:

"Second brother, although your cultivation level is high, if they really fight and the military formation of hundreds of thousands of troops is fully deployed, it will not be difficult for the general to find you. This trip is too dangerous, so let's forget it."<

/p>

Facing Li Qingyan's gaze, Li Zhaoyuan exhaled and cupped his hands:

"In that case, I'd better stay with you, Qingyan."

Li Qingyan smiled slightly, stood up on his knees, glanced at the resting soldiers around him, and said in a loud and powerful voice:

"Form the march formation and continue north to Houting County."

The marching array is a type of military formation. The energy and energy of the soldiers resonate and complement each other, enabling long-distance attacks.

After there was no more sound, a group of several hundred people walked north through the snow.

When approaching Houting County, Li Qingyan suddenly frowned and stopped the advancing soldiers:

"Stop."

The elite divisions all followed orders and prohibitions. The moment she said these words, a queue of hundreds of people immediately stopped on the snowy field.

Li Qingyan's red eyes looked across the white snowfall and vaguely saw two figures standing on a hillside not far away.

Watching,

A voice with a charming smile floated across the wind and snow two miles away and accurately reached Li Qingyan's ears:

"Your Highness Wu Yuan, our parents miss you so much and are waiting for you here."

Hearing this, Li Qingyan's chest rose and fell slightly.

But the next moment,

Li Qingyan glanced sideways at the soldiers behind him, and immediately lowered his voice and said:

"We will arrive in Houting County immediately. Everyone will rest on the spot, form Xuanwu Formation, and wait for my order."
To be continued...
