Cangyun wears the book strategy

Chapter 39: Goose Crossing Pass

The team led by Ye Ya has been marching northward for more than ten days, and the closer it gets to the northern border, the more desolate and cold it can feel.

By the time they arrived at Yandu Pass, heavy snow had already begun to fall in the sky.

The tall and desolate city gate stands in the vast snow field, and occasionally some dead branches and leaves of plants can be seen in the snow.Looking from a distance, you can see a winding and fast-flowing river behind Yandu Pass.

The river originally had no name, but the monsters living in the northern region called it "The Wild Goose Can't Cross".

Once you cross this river, you will enter the area that connects with the demon world, and you will also enter the former activity range of the false demons.If the northern snowfield is barren, then the barren land on the other side of the river is so dead that even the flying geese in the sky are unwilling to cross the river.

Later, the Jinlin Dynasty built a pass in the north, and only took the first and last words of this river, which is Yandu Pass.

And the Jinlin Dynasty did achieve this in the war of decades. The large-scale invasion of the false demons was disintegrated, and they were driven into the gap between the demon world at the farther north.Therefore, even on the other side of the river, the Jinlin dynasty's army would often go there to inspect, and the false demons that used to be active on the other side became no longer common.

But since the beginning of this year, the false demons that have been silent for decades suddenly began to show signs of activity.

For example, when Yan Gui went from Lanxing Pavilion to Jinlin King's Capital, the small town that was targeted by false demons was one of them.According to what Ye Ya said, the false demon who came back this time did not know what method was used. Both the magic energy and strength of his body have been improved a lot, which is more difficult to deal with than the false demon decades ago.

Moreover, the false demons seem to be quite afraid of Yanduguan. Several small-scale attacks did not appear in the northern border, but chose a small border town in other directions to attack.So this time, Ye Ya was sent to Yandu Pass, firstly, for training, and secondly, to communicate with the guards of Yandu Pass, and to guard against the false demons who are ready to move.

The news that Ye Yai led troops to Yandu Pass had already been sent from the capital, so when Yan Gui walked to the gate, he could look up and see the defenders and generals waiting on the gate wall.

Ye Yai handed over the decree given by the demon emperor Ye Linhan to Ahri, and asked her to verify with the guards in the city first, while he took [-] soldiers to stop at Yanmen Pass and wait for a while.

"Yanduguan is a place run by the Xueyuan Wolf Gu family for generations. When the Yan family, the king of Zhenbei, was still there, the prestige of the two families together deterred the northern border. Since the war with the false demons decades ago, the last generation of the Yan family Almost all the generals were killed in battle, and although the Gu family also suffered a lot of losses, they still have more than half of their base left." While waiting for the city gate to open, Ye Yai talked to Yan Gui who was beside him about the situation of Yandu Pass, " Now the guard of Yandu Pass is the old general Gu, the head of the Gu family, he is old and experienced, but he has heard others say that he has a bad temper..."

"Squeak-"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a hoarse sound of heavy objects rubbing against each other.At the same time, the frosty and snowy gates of Yandu Pass slowly opened.

As soon as the city gate opened a distance enough for the two of them to pass through, a tall and burly monster rushed out on horseback.There are two very prominent scars on his right eye, and the hair under the armor and the beard on the chin are both gray and white, but not too dull.The obviously aged face looks a bit fierce, but it is also very energetic.

All in all, it's a bad character.

Yan Gui looked at him, and guessed that he was probably the Old General Gu that Ye Ya just mentioned.

"Little bastard—!" An angry scold came from General Gu's mouth, which seemed to make the snow on the entire snow field tremble three times.

Seeing Old General Gu rushing towards him aggressively, Yan Gui tightened the reins of Ba Hongchen in a dazed manner, thinking that this old general had a grudge against him?Or did you get the wrong person?

Facts proved that Yan Gui had misunderstood, and Old General Gu rode his horse and galloped past Yan Gui, heading directly towards the end of the team.

"What's going on?" Yan Gui turned his head to look at Ye Yai beside him, only to find that this kid looked confident.

Looks like it was premeditated...

Ye Yai raised his chin: "Here, isn't Gu Tu in the back? Old General Gu probably has some family matters to settle."

Gu Tu and Old General Gu, family matters?

"Didn't you say that the Gu family of Yanduguan is a snowfield wolf?" Yan Gui didn't think the two together at all, because Gu Tu is obviously a rabbit!Even if they have the same surname, why are rabbits and wolves a family?

Yan Gui's heart was roaring.

"I also discovered it by accident." Ye Yai said, "Didn't I take Gu Tu to the prison department to be a witness before? I asked the other side to help find out his identity, and it turned out that this investigation found out He is actually the grandson of General Gu."

Yan Gui forced himself to accept this unscientific setting, and asked another question first: "So you deliberately let him come with you as an adjutant because of his status?"

"This is half of the reason. After all, many people told me before that General Gu has a weird temper and is difficult to get along with. With Gu Tu, I think some things may be easier in the future. As for the other half of the reason, it is I think Gu Tu is indeed a good choice. Regardless of skill, character or quality, even if he is not the grandson of Old General Gu, there is no problem in being my adjutant."

After hearing these words, Yan Gui suddenly felt that Ye Yai probably had a little dark potential.

But looking at it from another angle, Ye Yai, who was crowned king when he was young, has been under the influence of Ye Linhan all year round, so he should also learn some methods on how to use people's hearts reasonably.

"Then Gu Tu...why is it a rabbit demon?" Yan Gui finally asked this extremely unscientific question.

Ye Yai smiled heartily: "I'm also curious about this, why don't you ask Gu Tu himself when the time comes. As for now, I think we should save him from the fire and water, after all, Old General Gu really has a bad temper."

After speaking, Ye Yai rode his horse and chased after Old General Gu, and Yan Gui also let Ba Hongchen who was sitting down catch up.

Although poor Gu Tu looked cuter because of the lopped ears on his head, he was still an imposing seven-foot man. Now that General Gu grabbed his ears, he was ashamed and startled, and his face was almost red.

But because Old General Gu was indeed his elder, Gu Tu became stumbling even when speaking: "Gu, Old General Gu, you... you, let go of my ears first, and speak up if you have something to say!"

However, Old General Gu was unmoved at all: "What do you call me, little bastard? After going back to my hometown for decades, I don't even know your grandfather anymore?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Tu's face turned even redder. He looked as if he was about to be steamed even though he was in the vast snowfield.After a while, he had no choice but to call out dejectedly: "Grandpa..."

"Hmph." Old General Gu let go of Gu Tu's ears as if he was satisfied, "Didn't I tell you to stay in your mother's hometown? Why did you come to the north again? You fucked yourself up in the last war." Do you remember what it was like? How many people were brought in to get you out that time, do you want to do it again?"

A series of questions fell down one after another like a boulder, and Gu Tu was almost out of breath.

"I won't be like last time!" Gu Tu seemed to have been poked in a sore spot this time, and his eyes were dyed red with anxiety, "Anyway, I came with His Highness this time, not counting Yandu. Guan Bing, you can't control me!"

"Hey? It's been so long since I haven't seen you, kid, my wings are stiff." Seeing that General Gu's temper was coming up, he was about to deal with him, but was interrupted by Ye Yai who came riding his horse.

"Wait a minute, Old General Gu." Ye Yai pulled the rein and stopped the horse between the two of them, "If you have something to say, why do you do it? Even if it's for my sake, calm down and wait for me Let’s talk about the past slowly after this team enters the city.”

Yan Gui also followed up and said to help: "The weather in the northern region is cold, and now it is snowing heavily. Our team came from the capital, and I am afraid that we still need to get used to the weather. I hope that General Gu will be sympathetic."

The two sang together, even with General Gu's temper, it's hard to get angry again.

"The physical fitness of the young people nowadays is really not as good as that of the previous generation, and they are still afraid of the cold." Muttering these words in a low voice, Old General Gu finally gave in a step, and brought Ye Yai and his party of three thousand soldiers into Yandu Pass.

As Ye Yai, he naturally wanted to go with Old General Gu, and by the way, exchange some pleasantries.

Yan Gui stayed at the end of the line, took out the thick black cloak and threw it to Gu Tu.

It's just because Gu Tu's face is not only blushing fiercely, but his eyes are also red, like bright red drops of water, and it seems that he is about to shed tears in embarrassment.

Yan Gui remembered that when he first met Gu Tu in that border town, he seemed to be full of sunshine and vitality, which was quite different from his current appearance.Only then did he realize that it was very possible that Gu Tu, who had served as a soldier in a place like Yandu Pass, was hiding some unbearable memories.

Gu Tu was lowering his head, suppressing the sobs in his throat, and dropped a cloak from his back.

Although the black cloak looks a bit cold from the outside, the inner lining is indeed soft and warm, making people feel inexplicably safe in a world of ice and snow.

"If you don't want people to see it, just block it." Yan Gui didn't deliberately look at Gu Tu, but kept his eyes on the teams entering the city ahead, "But I can only give you a little more time, if you can't catch up with the city Close the door, and we'll both have to spend the night in the snow tonight."

Gu Tu touched the tip of his red nose, and finally obediently covered his head with the cloak.

Gu Tu didn't want others to see it.

Seeing him so useless—just like on the battlefield back then, he was like a fool watching other people fall at the hands of false demons, but he was helpless.

For decades, his desire for revenge has never been extinguished, so when Ye Ya asked him if he would like to come to the northern border again, Gu Tu agreed cleanly and neatly.
