[Shadow Guardian] The Wind Rises from the Wild West

That night, a bonfire was lit on the cliff, and barbecue and meat were enjoyed.

The rebels at the bottom of the cliff couldn't attack, and couldn't walk, so they could only continue to surround.They tried to shoot with bows and arrows-but they just sent arrows to the cliff.Also tried to attack with rockets - there is nothing to burn on the bare rocky mountains.I also tried to set fire to the mountain - it just rained for a few days, and it was still wet everywhere, so it couldn't burn at all.In the end, we could only build a camp around the edge of the forest, which was densely surrounded, for fear that people on the mountain would escape at night.

Hong Han sat on the edge of the cliff with one leg bent, still looking like a very naughty bandit.He pointed to the dotted camps below, and said, "How about it, is this scenery pleasant?"

At this time, the twilight is deep, the dark blue sky shows the shadow of the mountains, the cold sky in late autumn has a few scattered stars, and the edge of the dense forest below is a group of bonfires.The scenery is naturally excellent.

Yun couldn't help laughing, it was clearly a scenery, but Honghan liked to ask 'is it good'.Yun just remembered that in the grassland, Hong Han had also said this while pointing to the lights in the thousand tents.

Yun replied: "Very good. Very cool." Hong Han once asked him what he wanted, and he replied that he wanted to travel to many places and see many scenery.Hong Han seemed to be leading himself to do it one by one.

Hong Han laughed lowly. "I didn't expect that Bi Wujian could still appear in this world, let alone the inheritance of the blue bird is on you."

Yun shot Bi Wu's arrow in full view and called him the lord in full view.Not only did it break the slanderous words that were sung and shouted before, but it also announced to the world that Honghan has God's help.

After today, this matter will naturally spread widely.In Xiyan Kingdom, who else would dare to doubt Honghan's correctness?In the Central Plains, who else can underestimate Xiyan?If the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth, and if the words are not smooth, nothing will be accomplished.Now that the blue bird has converted, why worry about the hegemony?

Honghan turned his head, his eyes glowed in the night, "There is a fish in the dark north, its name is Kun, I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is. It turns into a bird, its name is Peng, and it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. "

Yun knew that this was the opening sentence in Getaway.

Hong Han looked at Yun and said, "You are to me what fins are to a kun, and wings are to a peng."

Yun was quite surprised.

Honghan said again: "After returning to Yancheng, you will be Zhu Qing of my Xiyan Kingdom."

Zhu Qing is the minister in charge of sacrifices, similar to the witches in the grassland, with a very detached status, and has always been in charge of the most noble noble family.

Yun was a little stunned. He looked down at the brand mark on the back of his hand and said, "Master, please think twice about appointing a slave as Zhu Qing."

Hong Han smiled and said: "Think twice! I can invite Mr. Baili to be the doctor of Wuyang, why can't I ask you to be Zhu Qing? Am I someone who cares about status so much? You have the ability to do nothing, who dares to say anything! "Honghan is thirsty for talents, and he has always been regardless of his background.Mr. Baili is the old man that Yun met earlier, he was bought by Honghan in the Central Plains with five black sheepskins, he is very talented.Honghan appointed him as Wuyang doctor to take charge of Xiyan's internal affairs.Now, he handed over the position of Zhu Qing to Yun.

Everyone knows that Yun has the brand of a slave, and everyone knows that Bi Wu is alive.It couldn't be more appropriate.

Yun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, but did not answer, which was regarded as acquiescing.He raised his eyes and was about to speak when he suddenly paused and said, "My lord, please allow me to leave for a while."

These words sound familiar.On the way back to Yancheng, whenever an assassin came to harass him, Yun was the first to find out, and then he left with a blank expression, and dealt with the assassin lightly.

Hong Han immediately asked: "Are there assassins?"

Yun nodded and stood up.

Hong Han grabbed the young man's waist, "Are you just a decoration for other bodyguards? Do you still need Zhu Qing?"

Yun smiled and said: "They are climbing the cliff at night, it would be too dangerous for the guards to go. I will come as soon as I go." Those who dare to climb the cliff must be kung fu masters, and the guards are not good at this.

As soon as Hong Han let go, the young man's figure leapt up, and sneaked into the night like a light smoke, like a black bird in the dark night, he went down the cliff silently.

Hong Han didn't know how many people came, there must have been quite a few, so he rushed down and shouted anxiously: "Can you handle it alone?"

There was a whisper in his ear, which was delivered by Yun Yong's inner strength. "Not afraid. Who am I?"

His voice was very soft, but his arrogant tone was just like Hong Han's.Hong Han couldn't help laughing.who is he?He is Yun, my shadow guard, the inheritance of the blue bird, the strongest arrow, the sharpest blade, and the strongest shield!

"It's so arrogant, I like it!"

Neither of them got much rest that night.Of course, the people on the mountain have to be on duty in shifts to prevent them from being attacked by surprise.The people down the mountain were even more worried and frightened.The assassins sent never returned, and the people who went out to communicate have not returned for a long time. Some city lords and nobles who planned to participate in the grand event all remained silent, and there were fewer people in the camp after dawn—— Many timid people took advantage of the night as deserters.

Honghan shook his head as he watched from the mountain, if these people persevered to the end, he would respect them as men.Can things be accomplished even if they go back and forth like this?Can such a person be a pillar of the country?

When the smoke and dust rose from the valley, the encircling army had already arrived.Honghan gave an order, and the guards on the mountain rushed out.With two strikes and one flank attack, the already precarious rebel army was defeated.Drop down, die down.

A rebellion started vigorously, but ended so absurdly and bleakly in the end.

Back in Yancheng, Hong Han stood in the main hall condescendingly watching his nephew who was tied into a rice dumpling and pushed into the hall - the new king elected by the rebel army.However, he is only a 12-year-old half-grown child. His body is quite strong, his face is still childish, and his neck is very stubborn.

Yun looked at this scene from the side, feeling familiar.

Hong Han is the king who took over from the eldest brother. According to the thinking of the Central Plains people, many people think that the position of the king should be given to the elder brother's eldest son.However, according to the customs of Xihuang, if the son is underage, it will be passed on to the younger brother who is in the prime of life, so as to preserve the family.The dispute is buried from here.

Hong Han looked at his kneeling nephew, and said in a deep voice, "What can you say?"

The nephew was not caught, but he asked himself to be tied up to plead guilty.But with a displeased expression on his face, he knelt on the ground and straightened his waist and said, "I was bewitched by others and did something rebellious. I have nothing to say. If you want to kill uncle, kill him!" He kowtowed and said loudly : "It's just that I have a group of people under my command, please treat my uncle kindly!"

Hong Han laughed out of anger, and thought that you can do it, kid! "Why?"

The nephew said confidently: "That's the talented person left by my father. My uncle recruits talents and claims to be tolerant. Shouldn't he be kind to them?"

Hong Han laughed for a while, noncommittal.He crossed his arms and asked, "If I don't kill you, what are you going to do?"

The nephew's eyes widened, he didn't expect that he might not die after rebelling.He said loudly: "Please allow me to go to Xijiang alone! My uncle went to Xijiang when he was 15 years old, and he did a lot of things. In the west, he is the leader. I really admire him. Now the foundation of Xijiang is not stable. , Xiao Xiao coveted on the border, please allow me to go to the western border to establish achievements!"

Hong Han said in his heart, boy, you are straightforward in your flattery, and your demands are straightforward enough. ——very angry with him.

"Okay, I will allow you to go to the western region. But if the tribes in the western region refuse to accept it, you will not be able to return to Yancheng."

"You need to remember one thing, our Hong family's blood is not for fighting in the nest!"

The nephew was overjoyed and showed a look of eagerness to fight.He straightened his body and said in a loud voice: "I, a man of the Hong family, should wipe out the barbarians and open up the territory!"

Hong Han went down, swung his knife to cut the rope, and said simply: "Fuck you."

It sounds like a curse, but the meaning is also very clear.The nephew kowtowed and left without hesitation.The excitement was as if he was not exiled to the frontier, but was really entrusted with the important task of going to the frontier to expand the territory. —Who can say it's not true?

After Honghan finished dealing with this matter, he turned around and saw Yun looking at him with a complicated expression. "What's wrong?" He thought that he had shaved his beard, and there was nothing on his face.

Yun shook his head and smiled, seemingly a little envious and a little relieved. "It's okay, you're fine. Hiroshi Xiyan, you're fine."

After this rebellion, Honghan finally consolidated his position as the lord of the country, and successfully made his first pot of gold.He unceremoniously took back the territory of the rebel nobles, and ransacked their homes, digging out a lot of wealth accumulated over the years.Xiao Bing, who was about to repair the embankment, was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, and Doctor Wuyang, who had been struggling with internal affairs, was able to smile with his beard.

Armaments and trade in various places have been developed in succession.

Not only that, after the rebellion, nobles and lords everywhere were terrified and never dared to confront Uncle Xi Yan again.Either donate money, or donate land, or silently transfer property and flee to other countries.In other countries, there are also a large number of people who saw opportunities here through Xi Yanbo's various measures, and migrated with their families.

The originally lifeless Western Wilderness is like a trade wind blowing by.Development and opportunity coexist, risk and wealth coexist.

When Uncle Xi Yan was busy dealing with state affairs, Yun still watched silently from the side.He is already Zhu Qing, basically he has nothing to do with mundane matters, he just needs to be a good mascot that brings auspicious signs.

So busy, at the end of the year, the season of heavy snow, the New Year is coming.

On this day, Hong Han was working.Yun sat on the side of the hall reading a book as usual, and the charcoal in the brazier occasionally made a beeping sound.In such silence, Yun suddenly stood up and said softly: "Master, someone is here, I will go back as soon as I go."

It had been a long time since there was an assassin, and even Hong Han felt a little lonely, so he followed along.

As soon as Yun walked outside the door, a blue shadow floated down from the snow-covered roof, shouting crisply: "Master!"

Yun was stunned, the little girl had already crashed into his arms.

Ah Jin is here, Ah Jin from Qishan, the current sect master of Shadow Sect.
