Chapter 91: Breaking the Ice

In less than an hour, after walking on the wind and snow back to the palace, Yang Xi could clearly feel Qin Yuexi's joy and sighed silently, "This county lord Xueyi enters the palace every day, I don't know how honorable it is."

"This life." This is the first time Qin Yuexi calls this life.

In this life, he appeared. After listening to the instructions, the new emperor's internal strength was so strong that he was not inferior to him.

"Tell me about Shadow Guard." It would be a waste to follow him like a shadow every day.

I was stunned for a moment, sorted out the information, and said for a moment: "The Shadow Guard was personally selected by several elders from Yushan Yuangu. Only those who have passed the training are qualified to become Shadow Guard and sent to the imperial city to protect His Majesty."

For the safety of the royal emperor, there was a special place. Depending on the situation, only those who knew that they had existed were those who ascended the throne and became emperor. It was considered a secret matter of the royal family. "How many shadow guards are there in the imperial city in your hands?"

"Twenty people will be rotated every three years. If you fail to return to Yuangu, stay in Yuangu and train again, and there will be new people to replace you." You know, this is the Shadow Guard's assurance to the emperor.

Twenty people? It can be seen how strict the training of this Shadow Guard is, and all of these twenty people must be masters. Qin Yuexi thought for a while and said, "Who is the person in charge of Yuangu now?"

"Three elders."

"Contact them, I want to see them." This place is used to train the Shadow Guard. No matter how well he trains, he will only save him and comfort him. When he deserves to die, no one can keep it.

I was a little embarrassed in this life. This was the first time I heard that the Lord of the Lord met the elders and didn't know how to answer for a while. He couldn't make the decision and thought about it: "There is a regulation in Yuangu that the elders must not leave Yushan half a step."

It wasn't just that he had been staying in that Yushan all his life. Qin Yuexi frowned, "Then I'll go in person another day." After busy for a while, it doesn't matter who will meet anyone, and he has something to ask for, so he can clearly feel that this so-called Yuangu is definitely not a retainer or something.

I thought the young emperor in front of me would get angry, but I didn't expect that this sentence would be a little embarrassed in this life, so I could only say with a grudge: "Yuan Gu has an agreement with the royal family that the royal family must not step into the jade mountain."

Yang Xi, who was standing by, was also shocked. He also said something about Yuangu when he followed Emperor Yongyuan, but he only knew that there was such a place, but he didn't expect that there would be such rules and agreements.

This family cannot come out and you cannot go in, what should I do? Qin Yuexi can now be sure that Yuangu just has some kind of agreement with the royal family, and it is definitely not an organization that is loyal to the royal family.

"Where is Yushan?"

Seeing that he no longer bothered who saw whom, he hurriedly said in this life: "Yushan is not far from the imperial city, and it is a day away in a deep mountain at the junction of Dazhou and the imperial city." The reason why we can tell everything is because we know the place and outsiders can't get in.

"Yeah, I understand, go." After asking clearly, he stopped asking.

He disappeared immediately in this life, and he said everything he should say. His Majesty asked what he should do, and he should not care about what he should do.

Qin Yuexi picked up the memorial and started reading it, as if what had happened just now had not happened. Yang Xi silently lit up the oil lamp. The new emperor's mind was hard to figure out, so he just took care of him.

The news from the border was also received. Zhou Datong was so angry that he was full of breath. The turtle tycoons in Beiji did not fight them, but they just refused to let them break the ice. If the ice was not broken, they would not break the ice now and they would not break it. They would definitely attack the city in a few days.

I really remember walking around the city platform. Qin Yueyuan and Yan arrived. The soldiers felt much more at ease. At least the court still thought about them at this time and knew their difficulties. It would be worthwhile to sacrifice their lives to guard the Qiang City in the snow and ice.

"The Tunxi River is so wide." Qin Yueyuan entered the city and went straight to the garrison mansion. Before the water could take a sip, he asked Yuan Qing to lead him to the city platform to find Zhou Datong.

Zhou Datong shook his head and sighed, it wasn't that wide. When he saw the mirror-like lake surface, his eyebrows were knotted, "Prince, the emperor is here... Then now?" As soon as he said that, Yuan Qing and others turned their heads to look at Qin Yueyuan.

"Anxin, the prince has ascended the throne, and his reign is Yuanjin. The Ministry of War is now under the leadership of the eldest son of the Luo family and Luo Lixun. Your Majesty knows your difficulties and sends me to calm the morale of the army. This Qiang City is crucial to my Dayuan. I will work with you and will defend even if I die." Qin Yueyuan looked at them with a firm look.

The princes who enjoy wealth on weekdays can rush to the frontier. If they can say such words, Zhou Datong and others immediately had some hope for the current court and His Majesty.

"Prince, the last general will be guarding Qiang City when he dies. But in a few days, they are afraid that they will attack the city. I wonder what good plans the prince has, so we can prepare early." Zhou Datong has been guarding this Qiang City for many years, but he couldn't do it.

Qin Yueyuan waved his hand, "General Zhou, don't say that. You and Lord Yuan are more familiar with everything about Qiang City than me. I will not command blindly. I come here, first, to tell the frontier soldiers and the people, the court and Your Majesty have never forgotten you in their hearts, and second, to come for the frost of this ton of Xihe."

When Zhou Datong heard this, he felt anxious in his eyes, "Prince, Your Majesty and the others know that this ton of Xihe is frozen? Can you bring good advice."

Yuan Qing, who was standing beside him, also looked at Qin Yueyuan with an anxious look on his face. If he knew that he would send someone again, what would he do?

"Master Yuan, please ask someone to go to the river to set up a pot to boil water. You must have a big pot. Whoever wants it to boil it hot?" Qin Yueyuan saw that they were anxious, and did not go around the corner and directly ordered.

Boiling water to boil ice? Yuan Qing hesitated and said directly: "To be honest, we have used it, and this method is useless. Then pour boiling water on the ice surface and it will turn into ice in a moment. There is no need to be the other side of the imperial city. The temperature here is too low." He blew the air into ice.

Qin Yueyuan had already experienced the journey, and the colder it became. When he arrived at the city gate, he stood outside for a while, his eyebrows were covered with frost, and his eyes could only be exposed. "It was either boiling water to melt ice, but salt. The more than ten trucks of salt brought in were used to melt ice. As long as he started to pour it continuously and sprinkled with salt, the ice would melt quickly.

"Salt?" Yuan Qing then remembered the dozen carts of salt that he had with the prince.

Zhou Datong slapped his head, "Salt can melt snow, why didn't I think I could try it by melting ice? If the boiling water is poured down, the salt particles will not freeze instantly, they just need to keep boiling water."

"This is easy to deal with. We don't have much other things. There is so much snow, and snow is also water." When Yuan Qing heard that it was feasible, he immediately ordered someone to prepare firewood.

Seeing Yuan Qing busy preparing things, Zhou Datong stared at the Ten-Xihe River in the yard, "Go and take a team of people to help, move all the pots in the cooking room. If you can't do it, you can borrow them from the people, and you can't stop boiling water."

The deputy general next to him immediately turned around and took someone to help. Zhou Datong's face was still a little worried, "I'm afraid the other side won't let us boil water."

Qin Yueyuan also looked outside the city, "Don't go out the salt truck first, wait until the water is almost boiling before going out. Wait for a while for a while, General Zhou may arrange someone to block it."

Now I can only buy more time. Zhou Datong also thought so, "When the water boils and needs to be sprinkled with salt, I will take a team to the front to block it." How precious the salt is, the court can send these dozen trucks of salt, so it must not be wasted.

"General, there is a team of soldiers at the inner city gate saying it was Ye Zijun, and he was ordered to help." A small soldier ran up to the city platform to report to Zhou Datong.

Zhou Datong was stunned for a moment, "Ye Zijun?" What army? I haven't heard of it before, and looked at Qin Yueyuan in confusion, "Prince, is it an arrangement by the imperial court?"

Qin Yueyuan was also stunned. Ye Zijun was not far away in the southern suburbs of the imperial city. His second brother had never mentioned it to him. He was wondering when the soldier handed over a letter that the leader asked him to hand it over.

"Give it to me." Qin Yueyuan took it and saw that it was Qing Jin's handwritten book, saying that this was Ye Zijun who was staying in Mushan. He transferred two thousand to help, and there was no need to make a statement, otherwise Mushan would be unstable.

"General Zhou, let them enter the city. It is Ye Zijun, who has just been recruited in the court." Without further details, Qin Yueyuan put the letter in his arms. Thinking of the person who wrote the letter, he couldn't help but feel respectful, bold, careful, far-sighted, and capable of dispatching troops.

After hearing this, the court sent troops to help. Zhou Datong was so excited that he expressed his feelings. His eyes felt wet. His heart, which was already a little cold, suddenly became warm. The court did not forget them or this Qiang City.

Lin Zhe, who came with two thousand Ye Zijun, was the current commander of Mushan. Qing Jin asked Min Xuexuan to be calm and calm at that time, with good skills, and quite strategic, and a general.

Qin Yueyuan and Zhou Datong went to greet each other in person, watching the two thousand soldiers and horses outside the city, with strong soldiers and horses. The soldiers on the horse were all in spirit, orderly and without looking sideways. It can be seen that the military discipline was strict, and Zhou Datong himself was a leader, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, when did Dayuan have such a soldier?

"Lin Zhe has met the prince, General Zhou." Min Xue has explained in his letter that he will follow the letter of the lord and just look for this prince if he has any questions.

The two of them immediately bowed their respects and thought of leading them into the city. "Prince, the general has already given a military order. After we arrive at the city, we will go out of the city directly from the outer gates in the city, and go around the flanks to cover you to break the ice. Once the other party notices, it will lead troops to destroy it, so there is not much time. Prepare ten pots of hot oil. When I bring people back, I will immediately pour the oil onto the ice surface and throw the firewood that boils water over."

"General Zhou, increase the manpower and break the ice quickly." Qin Yueyuan understood that they were used to be bait, give them time, and told them that if they were not moving quickly, they would not be able to do so at this time.

Zhou Datong immediately understood, "The last one will bring the soldiers guarding the city together."

Qin Yueyuan looked at Lin Zhe and Ye Zijun behind him and bowed, "Looking for triumphant return." Although she had known for a long time that Ye Zijun was probably hers, she was willing to give up at this critical moment.

Lin Zhe nodded, turned around and walked into the city with two thousand men and rushed towards the outer city gate. The city gate had already opened wide, and two thousand men quickly left the city and quickly crossed the river. The ice surface was trampled by horse hooves. Seeing that the ice surface was so strong, the siege car could pass in a few days.
