Mrs. Li’s letter arrived in August. Before that, although the two sides had exchanged information, there were very few direct letter exchanges. However, Li Cheng enthusiastically wrote several letters to Ye Xingyuan, and Ye Xingyuan also replied one by one.

Ye Xingyuan was the top scholar in high school, and his official position was in the sixth rank, and his status was even more noble. Although Li Cheng received the help of his wife, he barely completed his birthday gift and was promoted to the next level, he was just an eighth rank sesame mung bean little military officer.

The two have become increasingly different identities. Li Chengxin said that he was almost the subordinates, and he said "marked" one by one. Although Ye Xingyuan was not used to it, he thought of his cooperation with Mrs. Li and the current situation in Xifengguan and Qiongguan County, so he acknowledged the existence of this subordinate relationship.

In the letter, Li Cheng initially expressed his fear of Ye Xing's departure from Beijing, but later he became a village with dark and bright flowers. He heard that he was going to work in Xifengguan, but he was not far from Ye Xingyuan, and his joy was almost beyond words.

Ye Xingyuan had already learned the result from Mrs. Li, but was not surprised, but he was more confident in the ability of their Yao family.

Mrs. Li's actions were quick. After completing Li Cheng's official position, she quickly invaded the Western Army and found the real flaws in Xifeng Pass. She followed her husband to take office in August. Before leaving, she sent a secret message to Ye Xingyuan, calculating the date and they should arrive in September.

Before they came, Ye Xingyuan also made some investigation and preparations for Zi Yan's tomb.

Unlike Gao Huajun who was buried in his hometown, Zi Yan also practiced the ideal of "wrapped corpse with horses". He has been on the front line of the northern battle against the demon barbarians, and finally died on the battlefield. He was buried outside Qiongguan County and passed through the demon clan settlement area, approaching a wasteland in Xifengguan.

Zi Yan was originally a literati. Although as a personal disciple of a saint, he must be proficient in the Six Arts and cannot be regarded as having no power, he is definitely not a brave warrior like General Pei.

This man was engaged in warfare, with his strategy as his best, and his strategy as his shortcomings, so he defended the city as solid as a rock. At the beginning, he used thousands of old and weak soldiers to resist 100,000 barbarians. Without rescue outside and lacking food and grass inside, he kept the city alone for two months without losing it.

It is precisely because of this that Xifeng Pass was once regarded as an unbreakable heroic pass - but three thousand years have passed and the times have changed. After all, it is people who guard the city, not relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers. In the eyes of the demons, Xifeng Pass is probably no different from a sieve full of holes.

The treasure provided by Gao Huajun is the tickling cloud boots representing "filial piety", and General Pei's treasure is the treasure sword representing "courage". Ye Xingyuan speculated that Zi Yan's treasure may represent "loyalty" among the five virtues, which can also be said to be a portrayal of this person's life. Whether it is loyal to the king, loyal to the people, or loyal to the people, Zi Yan has left many popular stories.

If, as Ye Xingyuan expected, how to obtain Zi Yan's recognition and obtain this treasure of five virtues, there is no idea yet.

After Gao Huajun's Mausoleum, Mrs. Li also gained more experience. In addition to mastering the methods of entering the mausoleum, she also began to consider how to obtain treasures. Ye Xingyuan was recognized by Gao Huajun, which can be said to be a mistake, and this kind of success is basically impossible to replicate.

Moreover, Ye Xingyuan and Mrs. Li both believe that the afterlife world formed by Gao Huajun's trembling personality may not have any commonalities with the other three disciples. If you want to obtain a tomb, you will encounter real tests and real dangers if you want to obtain a tomb.

But when it comes to how to prepare and act in detail, Ye Xingyuan was still helpless. In the letter, Mrs. Li said that she had some slander and would discuss in detail with Ye Xingyuan when the meeting was met.

Ye Xingyuan could only rely on her in front of the tomb. The saint's spiritual bones matter was too confidential, and Ye Xingyuan could not even call the power of the Jinyiwei, so as not to arouse suspicion. His desk investigations were also done by the way when he was in the county affairs, and it was the first priority to not attract attention.

On the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, Li Cheng arrived at Xifeng Pass. After the handover, he arrived in Qiongguan County that night. In order to cover up, Ye Xingyuan brought Qin County Chief and Fang Dianshi to welcome the couple in the Mutton Valley.

However, in just a few months, the situation in Qiongguan County changed drastically, and the number of merchants coming and going seemed to increase slightly, so the Mutton Valley was of course even more lively.

On the first day of Ye Xingyuan's arrival in Qiongguan County, he also clashed with a captain in Xifengguan here. Today, he invited a banquet here. Although his grade was not high, the other party was respectful to Ye Xingyuan. The Qin County Chief and Fang Dianshi secretly praised him, and only felt that those who could do everything.

Although Li Cheng was a military officer, he was actually a little literary and elegant. He was also a subordinate. He was often angry and could talk to Qin County Chief Fang Dianshi. The three of them had similar status. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they were very enthusiastic. They unknowingly drank a few more jars, and in the end they were drunk and unconscious.

Mrs. Li saw it from afar and did not stop it. It could even be said that she was deliberately pushing it. When they were drunk, they sent a car to send them away separately and began to have a secret talk with Ye Xingyuan.

"Mr. Ye has only been here for a few months and has done great things. He is really a great man!" Mrs. Li sincerely exclaimed: "No, it's time to change his name to Lord Ye. Others have to learn to be officials, but Lord Ye seems to be born to know his own knowledge. The five virtue treasures of saints should be obtained by you."

Ye Xingyuan smiled bitterly. He knew his own affairs. In his previous life, he was a scholar. He just read a few more books and understood the historical officialdom thoroughly. Only then can he apply what he learned after traveling through time. Who can really know it?

However, he did not intend to explain to Mrs. Li, and said lightly: "Don't talk about these gossips, but talk about the serious business. Zi Yan's tomb is remote. When I was in charge of the county, it was just a justification for saying that I would go to pay tribute by chance. But when will we set out? Have you ever been prepared?"

Mrs. Li nodded slightly and shook her head again and said, "What I face is unknown when exploring the tombs of the four major disciples. How can I say that I am fully prepared? But this time, of course, it is much more sufficient than when I entered Gaohua Jun Mausoleum.

In my opinion, there are many dreams in the night. If Lord Ye can get free, we would better go to Ziyan’s tomb within these few days and try it out first.”

Ye Xingyuan certainly wouldn't be so simple to listen to her and then go on a risk, asking: "The after-death world of Gao Hua Junling is what he expects in his heart. Zi Yan is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Where will his ideal place be?"

Could it be Xifeng Pass, which is besieged from all sides? This kind of place is much more dangerous than Gaohua Junling, but judging from the virtues of the four major disciples, it is really possible.

Mrs. Li expressed disagreement, "Although Xifeng Pass is a famous place for Ziyan, it is not Ziyan's most difficult situation to defend the city with thousands of old soldiers and fight against the 100,000 barbarians. If you really have no way out, it should be a battle to cross the city."

When Ye Xingyuan heard this name, he felt a bitter taste on his tongue. His eyes were straightened for a while, and finally he smiled a little, "I have already worked hard enough in the battle at Xifeng Pass, but I forgot to cross the city with bitterness.

In that kind of place, when we go in, we will die without life, do we really want to try it? Mrs. Li, are you sure that his ideal after his death is to fight this war again?"

Kudu City is the most difficult battle to defend the city in history, in which a kind and gentleman talked about it. In terms of the huge gap in troops, perhaps Xifeng Pass is not inferior to the resistance to 100,000 barbarians.

However, Xifeng has no food for at least three days, while Kuducheng has no food for three months.

Legend has it that Zi Yan first killed his beloved horse and asked the soldiers to share it with them. Finally, he killed his beloved concubine for the soldiers to eat, and finally resisted the siege of the demon clan.

This story is shocking enough with the moral concept at that time. Although everyone admitted that Zi Yan did something amazing, cannibalism was still too terrible and contrary to the teachings of the saints. Therefore, although everyone knew the battle of the city, they could avoid it in historical records, and there were few positive narratives and comments.

But as long as this battle is true, Ye Xingyuan also feels that Mrs. Li’s prediction will not be wrong, and it is very likely that she will encounter this test in Zi Yan’s tomb.

Mrs. Li sighed: "What mortals seek for peace in the world after death is nothing more than the enjoyment of glory and wealth, but for wise men like the four great disciples, what they seek is more spiritual.

Gao Huajun was extremely filial, and what he wanted was to be able to stay with his father for a longer time. And his son was loyal to the country, and his mind was probably to fight Kudu City better no matter what."

Kudu City was too tragic. Although he achieved the final victory, Zi Yan must be very dissatisfied with the sacrifice he had made. He would definitely want to fight better.

Ye Xingyuan's eyes lit up and said, "If so, if we can help him reduce his sacrifice, maybe we can get his recognition?"

From this perspective, it is easy to guess Ziyan's needs and tests, which is more direct than Gao Huajun. But the problem is... It is almost impossible to reduce the sacrifice of Kudu City.

Zi Yan himself is a master of military tactics. He encountered a desperate situation in Kudu City. With his ability, determination and perseverance, he could win this battle that he had no chance to win.

Even Ye Xingyuan faced the same desperate situation, he would never dare to say that he could do better than Zi Yan. If he didn't kill horses and people, what would the extremely hungry soldiers do, and Ye Xingyuan would have no way to predict.

Faced with the siege of powerful enemies that are several times higher than you, the city has no food and no reinforcements to rely on, it is a luxury to defeat the enemy in this case, let alone have to worry about it?

Ye Xingyuan said with a grim face: "It would be great if he could bring modern weapons or enough food..." The first point is of course a fantasy. If he has a Maxim machine gun, he will naturally not be afraid of siege. If he is rich enough to rival a country, or if Qiongguan County is richer, he may be able to find a way to do it.
