The next morning, the Tianshan Mountains were in the far north.
"Master!"
"Master, wake up!!"
When Zhang San's urgent voice rang in his ears, Wei Changtian was still practicing the Falling Sky Sword in his dream.
He had just mastered the thirty-fourth pose last night, and was only short of the last pose to achieve perfection, and then he could challenge the thirty-sixth pose, which was rated as a "pseudo-immortal" by the system.
Because of this, he is still in a very good mood now.
"Ha~ What's wrong?"
He slowly opened his eyes, yawned and asked, "Liu Shi has gone back?"
"no."
Zhang San quickly shook his head and pointed in the direction of Ji Guo Nanshan County.
"Sir, you will know after you go and take a look."
"oh?"
Standing up and brushing off the snow on his robe, Wei Changtian joked as he walked: "Zhang San, when will you show off?"
"The villain knows his fault."
Zhang San lowered his head and followed behind, and replied cheerfully: "But it is a good thing after all. After seeing it, the young master will definitely not blame the villain."
"Good thing?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips, and at the same time he came to a boulder with an unobstructed view.
He had stood here and looked at Nanshan County City last night, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark.
But now the morning sun has appeared, there is no wind and no clouds, so the scenery in the distance can finally be seen in full view.
Um?
With just one glance, Wei Changtian understood why Zhang San said this was a good thing.
The rising sun shines brightly, revealing golden and red rays of light.
At the junction of heaven and earth, a city like a huge sandbox stands on the edge of the skyline, with fireworks rising thousands of miles.
This is undoubtedly the Nanshan County City of Ji State. Although it is not as big as Shuzhou City when viewed from above, it is still a large city, with a population of at least hundreds of thousands of households.
And just south of Nanshan County, on the large snowfield closer to the Tianshan Mountains, there was a long black dragon slowly moving forward.
The head of the dragon has traveled dozens of miles outside the city, but the dragon's tail is still connected to Nanshan County. The densely packed long poles reflect the sunlight and turn into countless light spots like dragon scales, giving this dragon an indescribable surging momentum.
Looking at Lin Li and the vast array of flags in the military formation, Wei Changtian was stunned for a long time, then a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's finally here..."
...
Although it was a little earlier than expected, this army was undoubtedly the vanguard of the Jue and Ji countries that wanted to invade Daning this time, and it was also the goal of Wei Changtian and his party when they crossed the Tianshan Mountains.
Therefore, after seeing this long and powerful dragon, not only was he not nervous, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.
By keeping an eye on this army, the movements of the Jueji Allied Forces will no longer be able to escape his eyes, and the things he was worried about before can be solved smoothly.
In other words, it doesn't matter which direction the enemy forces attack Daning from now.
Anyway, as the defender, as long as the intelligence is timely, the troops and horses will definitely be mobilized faster than the attacker, so there will be no "magic troops descending from the sky" situation anyway.
"Sir, thanks to your decisive decision to cross the Tianshan Mountains! Now we can know the enemy's whereabouts!"
Next to him, Huang Sheng promptly flattered him: "If we win this battle, the young master should be the first to win!"
"Hahaha, Captain Huang, you also have merit."
Wei Changtian laughed happily and patted Huang Sheng's shoulder heavily: "If it weren't for you to lead the way, we wouldn't be able to get here so quickly."
"Don't worry, after this battle is over, I will definitely take credit for you in front of General Han!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Slightly different from his attitude before departure, Huang Sheng, who had successfully completed the task at this time, no longer pretended to be reserved, and immediately clasped his fists happily to say thank you.
In his opinion, since he had already waited for the enemy's vanguard, there would be no further problems.
After all, the target of tracking is not one person, or a few people, but an army of eight hundred thousand.
No matter how fast the mobilization of such an army is, it will never be as flexible as the three of them, so it is absolutely impossible to "get lost".
Obviously, Wei Changtian had the same idea about this, so he looked at it for a while and then casually ordered:
"Zhang San, send a message to Uncle Liang."
"Tell him that we have seen the enemy's vanguard, and from now on we will send him the latest enemy movements at Chen, noon and Zi every day."
"..."
He finished speaking with a smile, but the expected response didn't come for a long time.
Wei Changtian and Huang Sheng were stunned for a moment, and both turned to look at Zhang San, only to find that the latter was holding the Zimu Jade without saying a word.
Um?
Wei Changtian knew that Zhang San happened to be receiving the message, so he did not respond to him in time.
This matter was nothing at first, but the latter's expression made him feel uneasy for a moment.
Chong Huangsheng winked and asked the latter to continue to stare at the army slowly marching towards the Tianshan Mountains, while he walked towards Zhang San.
Wei Changtian saw Zhang San's breathing becoming more and more rapid, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.
Then, he heard something.
"Sir, the scouts sent by General Liang found General Lu an hour ago..."
...
...
On the snow-covered plain, the long military formation was like a black line, extending zigzag into the boundless white. Even if it was crowded, it seemed insignificant.
The three figures standing on the top of the snow-capped mountains are even smaller.
After burning the incense, Zhang San had already told exactly what happened in the mountain temple last night, and it was exactly the same as the news from Liang Zhen.
He originally thought that Wei Changtian would be extremely excited and angry after hearing this, or at least become anxious.
However, this is not the case.
Wei Changtian just lowered his head and said nothing. His calm look even made Zhang San feel a little scared.
The sky is like a dome, covering the white fields.
Wei Changtian didn't speak, and Zhang San didn't dare to speak either.
Even Huang Sheng in the distance didn't know what was going on, but he could see something was wrong in the atmosphere and never said a word.
In this way, time passed little by little, and except for the sound of the wind, there was no movement on the entire mountain top.
Until a dull voice slowly sounded.
"Send a message to Uncle Liang and ask him to send another person in to see if he is dead or alive."
"..."
"yes!"
Zhang San was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out the mother-in-law jade to send the message.
A few dozen breaths later.
"Sir, General Liang said he would make arrangements soon..."
"Um."
In response, Wei Changtian sat cross-legged in the snow and gently closed his eyes.
Zhang San looked at him, then looked at Huang Sheng in the distance, holding the jade in his hand and not daring to let go of it for a moment.
He didn't know how long it took, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour, before he finally received another reply from Liang Zhen.
"Son..."
This time, Zhang San's tone was even more difficult than before, and his expression was extremely complicated.
But Wei Changtian still looked so calm.
"Say it."
"yes......"
Zhang San's Adam's apple moved slightly and he took a deep breath.
He lowered his head and his voice was muffled.
"Sir, General Liang just sent one person into the cave."
"That person's life card is on his tenth breath after entering the cave..."
