#635 - Far and Near - I am the villain in the book

The next day, early morning, the extreme north of Tianshan.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master, wake up!!"

As Zhang San's urgent voice rang in his ears, Wei Changtian was still diligently practicing the Falling Sky Sword in his dream.

Last night, he had just mastered the thirty-fourth move, and was only one move away from perfection, allowing him to challenge the thirty-sixth move, which was rated as a "pseudo-immortal" level by the system.

Because of this, he was in a very good mood.

"Heh~ What's wrong?"

He slowly opened his eyes, yawned, and asked, "Did Liu Shi go back?"

"No."

Zhang San quickly shook his head, pointing towards the direction of Nanshan County City of Ji Country.

"Young Master, you'll know when you go take a look."

"Oh?"

Standing up and brushing the snow off his robe, Wei Changtian teased as he walked, "Zhang San, when did you learn to keep me in suspense?"

"This lowly one knows his mistake."

Zhang San followed behind with his head lowered, happily replying, "But after all, it's a good thing. Young Master will definitely not blame this lowly one after seeing it."

"A good thing?"

Wei Changtian curled his lips, while also arriving at a boulder with an unobstructed view.

Last night, he had stood here to look out at Nanshan County City, but he couldn't see anything clearly because it was dark.

Now that the morning sun had appeared, with no wind and no clouds, the distant scenery was finally fully revealed before his eyes.

Hmm?

The head of the dragon had already traveled dozens of miles outside the city, while the tail still connected to Nanshan County City. The dense rows of long spears reflected the sunlight, turning into countless points of light like dragon scales, giving this dragon an indescribable imposing aura.

Looking at the vast flags standing in the formation, Wei Changtian was stunned for a long while, a smile slowly appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"They've finally arrived."

Although it was slightly earlier than expected, this army was undoubtedly the vanguard force of the Jue and Ji countries intending to invade Da Ning, and also the target of Wei Changtian's group crossing the Tianshan Mountains.

Therefore, after seeing this imposing dragon, he not only didn't feel nervous, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

By keeping an eye on this army, the movements of the Jue-Ji allied forces could no longer escape his notice, and the things he had been worried about could be smoothly resolved.

In other words, it didn't matter which direction the enemy army attacked Da Ning from now.

Anyway, as the defending side, as long as the intelligence was timely, the speed of troop deployment would definitely be faster than that of the attacking side, so there would be no "divine soldiers descending from the sky" situation no matter what.

"Young Master, thanks to your decisive decision to cross the Tianshan Mountains! Only now can we grasp the enemy's movements!"

Beside him, Huang Sheng promptly offered flattery: "If we win this battle, Young Master should be credited with the greatest contribution!"

"Hahaha, Colonel Huang, you also have merit."

Wei Changtian laughed heartily and heavily patted Huang Sheng's shoulder: "If it weren't for you leading the way, we wouldn't have been able to get here so quickly."

"Don't worry, after this battle is over, I will definitely ask General Han to reward you!"

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Slightly different from his attitude before departure, Huang Sheng, whose mission had now been successfully completed, no longer pretended to be reserved and immediately cupped his fist and thanked him happily.

In his opinion, now that they had waited for the enemy's vanguard, there would be no more problems after that.

After all, the object of their surveillance was not one or a few people, but an army of eight hundred thousand.

Even if the movement of such a large army was fast, it would never be as flexible as the three of them, so the thing like "losing track" was absolutely impossible to happen.

Obviously, Wei Changtian had the same idea, so after watching for a while, he casually ordered:

"Zhang San, send a message to Uncle Liang."

"Tell him that we have already seen the enemy's vanguard, and that we will send him the latest movements of the enemy army every day at Chen Shi, Wu Shi, and Zi Shi."

"."

He finished speaking with a smile, but the expected response didn't come for a long time.

Wei Changtian and Huang Sheng were stunned for a moment and turned their heads to look at Zhang San, only to find that the latter was holding the mother-child jade and remained silent.

Hmm?

Wei Changtian knew that Zhang San was just receiving a message, which was why he didn't respond to him in time.

This matter was nothing in itself, but the latter's expression caused a trace of uneasiness to rise in his heart.

He gave Huang Sheng a look, asking the latter to continue staring at the army slowly advancing towards the Tianshan Mountains below, while he strode towards Zhang San.

As Wei Changtian saw Zhang San's breathing become more and more rapid, the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.

Then, he heard a sentence.

"Young Master, the scouts sent by General Liang found General Lu an hour ago."

The snow covered the plains, and the long military formation was like a black line, winding and extending in this boundless white, even with a bustling crowd, it still seemed insignificant.

The mere three figures standing on the top of the snow mountain were even smaller.

After an incense stick's time, Zhang San had already recounted the events that happened in the Mountain God Temple last night in their entirety, without a single word different from the message sent by Liang Zhen.

He originally thought that Wei Changtian would be extremely excited and angry after hearing it, or at least become anxious.

However, the reality was not like that.

Wei Changtian just lowered his head and didn't say a word, his calm appearance even made Zhang San inexplicably feel a trace of fear.

The sky was like a dome, covering the white wilderness.

Wei Changtian didn't speak, and Zhang San didn't dare to speak either.

Even Huang Sheng in the distance, although he didn't know what had happened, could see that the atmosphere was not right, and didn't say a single word.

Just like that, time passed little by little. Besides the sound of the wind, there was no movement on the entire mountain peak.

Until a plain voice slowly sounded.

"Send a message to Uncle Liang, asking him to send another person in to see if he's dead or alive."

"."

"Yes!"

Zhang San was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out the mother-child jade to send a message.

After dozens of breaths.

"Young Master, General Liang said that he will arrange it immediately ."

"Hmm."

After responding, Wei Changtian sat cross-legged in the snow and gently closed his eyes.

Zhang San looked at him, then exchanged glances with Huang Sheng in the distance, holding the mother-child jade, not daring to let go for a moment.

He didn't know how long had passed, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour, before he finally received a reply from Liang Zhen again.
