Xiliang, beyond the Dietrich Pass, is verdant and bewildering.

Shangguan XI wrote with Shen Zangfeng Mingzhi's "Dietrich Pass Fugue" that Dietrich Mountain is "the first pass of Pingxi Liangxi", not only referring to the importance of the terrain of Dietrich Pass, but also its actual geographic location - the west of Dietrich Pass, that is, the continuous, endless The grassland.

From Qiudi into Wei, Dietrich Pass is the first pass. It's the only place within a thousand miles that can be called a choke point.

The town of Donghe, where Shen Zangfeng had fought a fierce battle, was still a hundred miles west of Guanxia.

The boundaries between Wei and the Di are divided as far as the town of East River.

Because there are no more villages and towns further west of Donghe Town, it is not suitable for the stationing of the Wei army. Since there is no army stationed there, the Di people, who come and go like the wind, have taken it for themselves.

Such as these years, such as the beacon without interruption time, East River Town, this kind of stronghold, often a day several hands. Just this kind of change of hands for the overall situation has limited impact, the real decision of the security of the Western Liang, or Dietrich Pass.

Just Di Cui Pass to Donghe Town, all the way to no danger can be defended, and the middle is mostly favorable for cavalry to come and go on the flat land ...... so no matter whether the Donghe Town is in the hands of the Wei people or not, Di Cui Pass will always be on the alert. This is the experience accumulated by countless predecessors with blood and tears.

Though the city was still on guard against raids by the Dinis, none of this detracted from the beauty of Dietrich Pass.

Dicui Pass in the height of summer, inside and outside a green color. Looking up, the sky is clear and transparent, the eagle and harrier high plate, from time to time issued a resounding nine days of clear cry. When the wind moves, inside and outside the pass, there is another wave of green.

The sky above her head was as bright as the ocean, and the ground she stepped on was as blue as emerald - Wei Changying was dressed in red with soapy boots, holding a golden whip in her hand and straddling a carved saddle, and she was in high spirits. With just one loose rein, the snow-white blood horse under his seat spread its long hooves, easily leaving his attendants behind and carrying her towards a small dirt slope in the distance.

"Young lady, please slow down!" Wei Changying's horse was the one that the general of Di Cui Pass had found with great difficulty and had intended to give to Shen Zangfeng. But when Shen Zangfeng came with his wife, the guard brought the horse up, and Wei Changying's eyes immediately lit up - the guard had heard about Shen Zangfeng's favoritism towards his wife, and changed the gift to Shen Zangfeng into a gift for Mrs. Wei. -Wei Changying had a favorite horse, and the Dietrich Pass was such a suitable place for running, so he took advantage of Shen Zangfeng's visit to Shangguan XI to have a gallop.

However, this horse was obtained by the general by all means, but the horses of the guards and maids accompanying her were not as good as this. Especially since the maids had only just learned to ride, they sat carefully on their horses for fear of being thrown off, and were unable to keep up with her at all.

Seeing her running, one of the guards hurriedly chased after her and reminded her, "Not far away is the Di territory, I'm afraid that there are small groups of Di people roaming around, which will disturb the young lady's excitement."

"In that case, I'll just walk around here." Wei Chang Ying answered cheerfully, "This is my Wei territory, and the Di are newly defeated, so they don't think they would dare to come."

The squire thought so, too, and reined in his horse and stepped back half a length to guard it from the side and rear.

The white horse on the green felt was sturdy and majestic, trotting gracefully and smoothly, Wei Changying squinted comfortably against the cool summer breeze coming from the grassland.

Unintentionally--

In the distance, there was a long, distant whistle.

The guards, who are long-time residents of Western Liang, are very experienced, and immediately changed color at the sound of the voice, and urged their horses to catch up with Wei Chang Ying, while loudly reminding: "Young lady, please be careful! There are Di people ......."

Before she finished speaking, Wei Changying already let out a cry of alarm - the white horse under her seat almost let out a long, happy neigh at the same time as she whistled, and then she was no longer under her control, spreading her hooves and rushing toward Di's realm as if it were a gust of wind!

"That horse!" The guard snapped to his senses, and without saying a word, he took off his saddle-side longbow and swished three arrows one after another towards the white horse that he could no longer catch up with!

"What are you doing?" Because of her terrible riding skills, Zhu Yin, the envoy who had barely caught up with the guards up to this point, screamed, "What about the young lady if you shoot the horse?!"

"The Di people are ferocious, if the young lady is brought into the hands of the Di people, will she not be fortunate?!" The three arrows were about to shoot down the white horse, who knew that the same three arrows flew diagonally from the side, extremely precise, cutting off all three arrows intended to kill the horse! The white horse was so divine that it ran out of the range of the arrows in such a small amount of effort, the guard's face turned blue as he turned back towards the crowd and shouted, "Quickly send someone back to the pass to report! Take down the guardian first, and ask the Prince to preside over the defense of Heguan - beware of the Di people holding the young lady hostage and attacking!"

One of the guards, who was good at riding, turned his horse and left without saying a word - but then a guard with good eyesight called out low, "Look!"

When the people looked between the horses, they saw that the white horse that was originally running fast and furious suddenly stumbled and seemed to be hit by something, and Wei Changying, who was originally sitting on its back, was then thrown out, and fell far into the long grass, and his life and death were unknown!

The white horse threw off the rider, struggled to take a few steps, seemed to cry out sadly a few times, and also fell heavily to the ground!

"Young Lady has even killed people, how could she not be able to kill a horse?" Zhu Yin was stunned and snapped out of it, screaming at the guards, "Quickly! Go after them and protect the Young Lady!"

In the long grass in the sky, a small piece of black dots also appeared, running with all their might towards the place where Wei Changying had fallen!

"Shen Yi, your archery skills are the best, have your bow ready!" "Echinocereus" the shi leader of this shi team estimated the distance between the two sides, and said sternly, "If we can save the young lady, then we will save her! If we can not save ...... you immediately follow the rules! The people of this clan, no matter male or female, old or young, can be killed but not humiliated!"

The guard named Shen Yi said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

Meanwhile, under the cover of the long grass, Wei Changying suppressed her beating heart and moved step by step in the direction of Di Cui Pass. She hated herself for choosing this colorful pomegranate red dress, and she hated herself even more for not listening to the guards' advice to change into a lightweight men's dress before she left the pass, but still wore this cumbersome and heavy noblewoman's robe even though she was confident in her riding skills.

At this moment, on the turquoise-colored grassland, the fire-like red dress could be imagined how attention-grabbing it was. Even if she carefully ambled in the grass to move, but the noble dress is so cumbersome ......

The earth shook beneath them, and the grass jumped with fine gravel and dust-it was the riders on both sides who were rushing this way like mad.

If the first to arrive is the "thorny hedge", it would be fine ...... If the first to arrive is the Di people, Wei Changying eyes flashed a cold aura, gripping the only remaining gold hairpin in his palm.

When she was led by the white horse towards the Di border, she was caught off guard and did not react, so she instinctively grabbed the reins. When she found out that the guards tried to kill the horse but were stopped by the Di people, Wei Changying was reminded of this and immediately, without hesitation, used one of the pair of gold hairpins inserted in her bun to nail the horse's head, killing the white horse that she actually liked very much.

The gold hairpin remained inside the horse's body to this day, and now the only one left was the last sharp weapon at her side.

"Kill!" The shouts of killing came from not far away, it was the people from both sides who had gotten very close.

The swishing of arrows went on unabated.

Followed by the sound of men jumping off their horses, slapping away the long grass with their swords and bows, and searching toward them with great strides.

Wei Changying stopped his absconding and slowly raised his hand, focusing on the sound that approached him.

Fear and attachment to life made this moment infinitely distant from heaven and earth, and the whole world was left with only heartbeats, and the sound of searching, drinking and cursing that were getting closer and closer, as well as the screaming and struggling of people who were constantly falling down.

Wei Changying's entire body was tense, like a bow poised to strike - everything he had heard taught about fighting and killing at Jiang Zheng's place since he was five years old slid through his mind like running water.

A bow from behind the slanting back to set aside the grass, turquoise bushes, gorgeous and colorful pomegranate red dress, so that the owner of the bow subconsciously let out a cry of joy, and was about to turn his head to tell his companions, the next moment, he has covered the throat desperate struggle ...... This Di has not yet completely died, and felt the waist is empty, and his last thought was: "Not all said that the Wei people are weak, the women are as weak as a lamb, the more honorable the more useless. How is this woman ...... trap?"

Pulling out the knife at the Di's waist, Wei Changying regretfully realized that it was a scimitar that she had never used before, and although the blade was freshly sharpened, it still looked inferior to her eyesight, which was accustomed to seeing fine blades.

But it's better than nothing.

Although the gold hairpin is sharp, it is too short and can only be used in close quarters, except as a concealed weapon. Wearing a full set of noblewoman's clothes and fighting with the Di in close combat on the grassland at the busiest time of the year, regardless of honor, is also an absolutely stupid thing to do.

Wei Chang Ying got his sword and rose slightly, no longer completely prone in the grass, trying to find his guard's movements.

In fact, she did not need to find, the dense grass, while fighting each other while looking for the crowd has long been found that the sudden fall of the Di people, have embraced over ......

In the midst of the melee, Wei Chang Ying finally rejoined the guards by personally killing the two Di men who had surrounded him first, and was immediately protected in the center.

But that's when they realized that the Dionysians far outnumbered them.

Wei Chang Ying was saved for the time being, but he was surrounded by the Di people along with his guards.

Dietrich Pass in the distance, but there were no reinforcements sent out yet.

The swords in the forest exuded a cold and intimidating edge under the sunlight, and the leader of the Di people wandered around outside the circle of swords, shouting and shouting in the Di language. Even though he didn't understand the Di language, Wei Changying understood that what he was saying was to persuade him to surrender.

"Young Lady, I am Shen Tian." The people in the "Echinocereus" knew the Di language, but no one was translating for Wei Changying at the moment. The shichang's hand on the sword was as solid as a rock, and he said in a slow, cold tone, with his back to Wei Changying, "There is a rule in the Xiliang Shen clan, and I don't know if the young lady knows it or not: no matter if it is male or female, old or young, a member of the clan can be killed and not humiliated! and cannot be humiliated!"

Wei Changying tightly gripped his scimitar and faintly said, "I don't know!"

Shen Tian frowned and was about to continue his persuasion, but he heard Wei Changying continue, "But I received the court's training when I was young, and the Fengzhou Wei Clan teaches its sons and daughters that they can be killed and not humiliated!"

"My subordinate's incompetence is inconvenient at this moment, when the nine springs are below, my subordinate shall then ask for the young lady's pardon!" Shen Tian sighed in relief and nodded gratefully.

At this moment the Di people on all sides have set up their bows and arrows, only a round of arrows rain - even if at this moment Di Cui closed the door wide open, the defenders out of their nest will not be able to save them!

Wei Changying glanced at the still closed door in the distance, and then looked over Dietrich Pass to the direction of the imperial capital, sighing softly, "How good would it be if I could see Guang'er one more time?"
