C155 Three Mountains and Two Lines of Sky

"Young master, you … Are you speaking the truth?! " At this moment, Su Yu was so excited by Yun Feixue that he didn't know how to react. He simply couldn't believe what he had just heard. If Yun Feixue was going to put an army of one hundred and fifty thousand in his hands, then that would be a joke, but if it wasn't, then it was even more shocking.

"It's not true, I won't come find you. You have this ambition, but no platform to use it on, so I'm giving you this opportunity now. But there are some things I need to explain to you clearly, this army is not that easy to manage." Yun Feixue said.

"Young master, please tell me. If Su Yu doesn't back down, then he'll definitely overcome this obstacle." Su Yu's glowing eyes were filled with excitement. Yun Feixue also explained the situation.

"Are you saying that it's possible that these hundred and fifty thousand men will only obey the orders of these four deputy generals? We won't really obey even if we take them over!" Su Yu said.

"That's right, that's what I'm worried about the most. Although Xiao Gan gave me the transfer order in name, we didn't have the chips to make these 150,000 people obey orders. In the end, they will all return to Xiao Gan because even the emperor can't watch a group of soldiers disobey orders go to war. And even if you train well, I suspect that Xiao Gan still has other methods to get them back to him." Yun Feixue said.

No matter what the final result of their army was, they would only listen to the orders given by Xiao Gan and his son. There was no reason for Yun Feixue or Su Yu to take control of these troops, so no matter how much effort Su Yu put in, it would only be a waste of money.

After a while, Su Yu suddenly raised his head and said, "If you're confident, then let's go to the barracks to take a look and we'll know the result!"

"Alright, I'll go with you."

"But not now."

"When?"

"It's the latter half of the night."

Although he didn't know why Su Yu wanted to go three days in advance or even after midnight, Yun Feixue had unhesitatingly agreed to his request. It was because he had absolute trust in Su Yu.

What reason did he have not to trust a person who did not forget to learn martial arts in such a remote mountain village that was as remote as a primitive forest?

This year, Su Yukong, who was already forty-five years old, had a set of ambitions that he didn't have anywhere to display. However, how many useless fellows were living in Hidden Dragon City, yet sitting on top of the high walls, enjoying the glory and wealth of the world?

The Hidden Dragon Army Camp was about 30 miles outside of the Hidden Dragon City. Over a hundred thousand soldiers trained here day and night. For the soldiers, four days vacation every month was a form of liberation.

However, to the military camp here, there was not much of a difference between a day and a day off. This was because they had not been in contact with any battles for far too long.

This long period of peace had already made them completely at ease. Every day, they would just do some necessary tasks, while the rest of their time was spent in entertainment.

"I bet heavily that if I lose again, I won't play anymore …"

"If you bet too much, your father will crush you too little. This time, you can open it too little …"

"Hurry up, the bets have all come faster, buying big or small …"

A great ruckus could be heard from one of the tents in the army camp as over a dozen people gathered in the tent. Each one of them had a crazed and malevolent expression on their faces.

The most popular dice shaking game in the military camp was on the table in the middle. It was similar to the rules of Full Moon Restaurant.

What was even more shocking was that there were actually three or four women inside. They were all lying in the arms of a few soldiers, and the soldiers' hands were restlessly moving back and forth inside the clothes of these girls, causing them to constantly emit heavy gasps.

"What's going on with all of you? I told you guys to be more quiet these past few days, why did you set up another show?" Suddenly, the thick tent flap opened as a middle-aged man walked in with a frown on his face. At first glance, it was one of the four deputy generals that had accompanied Xiao Qian to the Yun manor.

"Boss, it's fine. Didn't they say that he would be here in three days? Besides, how could he be here in the middle of the night?" A soldier hurried over and said.

"Just in case, this brat is very deceitful. You should all restrain yourselves. After this game is over, hurry up and go to sleep." The middle-aged man scolded in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, boss." After the man left, everyone continued to bet like crazy.

This scene played out in many places in the camp. This was how they spent almost every single day, and because they had received the notice that Yun Feixue was likely to come to the camp to inspect, they did not dare to act recklessly during the day.

"How is this even a military camp? This is simply a bandit's nest!" No one in the entire campsite noticed that on the peak of a nearby mountain, several figures were overlooking the brightly lit campsite.

The night wind blew, the bone-piercing cold wind stirred the snow that had accumulated on the ground, but these few people stood unmoving like a pine tree, the young man in the lead was Yun Feixue, the one who was currently speaking was Hong Yan who was standing beside him, how could he not be angry when he saw this scene?

Yun Feixue had clearly anticipated this situation. It was already good enough that these soldiers would be able to gather here on time. As for this matter, it was a common occurrence.

Aside from Hong Yan, Di Xiu, and Su Yu, Yun Feixue was being accompanied by a few soldiers whose cultivations had long since broken through to the Tenth Layer of the Rigidity.

According to Di Xiu's request, they could no longer continue to raise their cultivation base. There were only these ten people in the entire Residence of Yun who were trained by Di Xiu. The rest had already been sent to the Forest of Sword and Tiger for combat training.

Originally, Di Xiu wanted to follow them, but now, he had to stay by Yun Feixue's side. He couldn't guarantee that the assassin from the Black Hunting Pavilion would appear out of nowhere and stab at Yun Feixue.

"But in the end, this kind of situation only accounts for a small portion of the military camp." Su Yu's eyes seemed to be emitting a wise and farsighted light as he scanned the surroundings of the army camp.

"But just this small portion alone is enough to affect the entire army camp. Even if the remaining soldiers take up the majority, no one would dare to say no. These people are all either big or small, and the other soldiers don't dare to say anything at all." Hong Yan gritted his teeth as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. He could not wait to charge up and hack those fellows into a thousand pieces.

Su Yu didn't say anything further. His eyes were still scanning the surroundings. He could clearly see that the patrolling soldiers weren't alerted in the slightest. They were just there to complete the daily tasks they had to do.

"Only about a tenth of the brightly lit tents are lit, but have you noticed that the rest of the tents that are not lit up are empty?" Di Xiu said.

Only after hearing his words did Yun Feixue notice this important point. His attention was completely focused on the soldiers who were playing around. He originally thought that the dark tent had already fallen asleep, but he did not notice this point.

"Come, let's find someone to ask." Yun Feixue, with furrowed brows, took a step forward as the others also followed closely behind.

Several figures scuttled forward like ghosts in the dark night, their speed so fast that they did not cause any commotion. In addition, these soldiers were not on guard at all, so it was impossible for them to discover Yun Feixue and the rest.

After randomly catching a patrolling soldier, Yun Feixue went straight to the point, "Where are the other soldiers?"

"I... "I …" Yun Feixue and the rest were like demons that were eroding his soul in the night. How could he, who had never experienced such a thing before, bear with it? Being able to stand still while still standing at the same place could already be considered quite a psychological quality for him.

"Don't say 'you, you, me'. Just say it." Hong Yan shouted angrily.

"Yes, yes, they …" "He's gone to repair the wall …" The soldier quickly replied.

"Repairing the wall? What wall is it? " Yun Feixue asked.

"Then... "It's just three mountains and two lines of sky. There, they went to build a wall …" The soldier said again.

The so-called three mountains and two lines of sky referred to a fortress that was 50 kilometers southwest of Hidden Dragon City. The terrain was rugged and if there were any enemies attacking the fortress, that was the best defensive position, but it was also the last defensive area of Hidden Dragon City.

This was because a few towering mountains were connected to each other, just like the guardian of Hidden Dragon City.

Between these few mountains, there were two exits with a span of only about 500 meters. If the enemy wanted to attack Hidden Dragon City, they would have to cross these two areas. The late emperor also chose to build his capital here based on the topography around Hidden Dragon City.

"Two-line Heaven's Wall?" Hong Yan was also puzzled by these words.

"Bring us there." Yun Feixue's voice was even more cold and detached. Everyone once again glanced at the tent, which was still busy eating and playing, and then quickly rushed over.

Before long, the fortress of Hidden Dragon City appeared in front of them. Just as the patrolling soldier had said, there were a lot of people gathered in front. They were working on a vast project to build a wall.

In front of him, between these two mountains that were thousands of meters tall, there were countless people carrying round logs, pushing wheels, and carrying boulders as they carved into the mountain.

Originally, the gap between these two mountains was about four to five hundred meters, but at this moment, Yun Feixue and the rest clearly saw that this distance was no longer there. Replacing it was an artificial wall that was at the same level as the mountain peak.

Seeing this scene, Yun Feixue finally understood what the construction of the wall was like. It was as if these soldiers were creating two huge gates and then locking the Hidden Dragon City inside, as if this was the safest thing in the world.

Then, he would open up these two massive doors and place a large amount of ranged weapons. If the enemy wanted to break through this barrier, they would undoubtedly cause a huge amount of damage, which was theoretically true.

But even so, Yun Feixue's heart was ignited with anger. You generals don't want the soldiers to train painstakingly, instead, they have to work hard here. Doing these completely meaningless things, what in the world are you thinking about?

Even if this gap was blocked, and even if it could withstand a few waves of enemy attacks, wasn't using one's own strength the most correct way to go about it?

It was likely that at this moment, Hong Yan and the rest had exactly the same mentality as Yun Feixue. At the very least, they were soldiers; they shouldn't be doing such manual labor here.

Military is the core of a powerful country, yet you are taking them to do all these things. Are you afraid in your bones, or are you just playing around with the fate of the Hidden Dragon Empire?!

"Does the emperor know about this?" Yun Feixue turned to ask the soldier.

"I... I don't know, I'm just following orders... "I should be coming here to change shifts in two days …" The soldier lowered his head, not daring to look at Yun Feixue.

It had to be known that the winter was not over yet. There was still a thick layer of snow on the ground, but a lot of soldiers were already on the battlefield. Behind them, soldiers wearing heavy cotton-padded jackets were using whips to whip those who were already exhausted.

Seeing this scene, Yun Feixue felt his heart ache for no reason. These people who were supposed to go to war, and even if they died, they would die on the battlefield, so what right did they have to receive such treatment?

If Xiao Gan hadn't come looking for him, Yun Feixue might never have known about this matter. It was only at this moment that he truly understood why Xiao Gan was willing to hand over the military transfer order.

Although these soldiers were young and strong, Yun Feixue could clearly see that they were exhausted due to their fatigue. Some of them had probably become ill from exhaustion long ago, and no matter how well he trained, it would be of no use.

This door was basically already completed. Regardless of whether or not Dongfang Jianxiong knew about it, the credit would not fall into Yun Feixue's hands. On the contrary, he would have to take over this mess.

In addition to these soldiers who had accumulated a lot of work and also those who enjoyed themselves in the military camp, no matter who was in charge of it, it was impossible for them to manage it.

"All of you, stop." Yun Feixue took a deep breath and stepped forward. The true essence within his body gathered together, and his voice was like a tiger's, shaking the entire world.
