Shout out: "Just like you are standing, can you use your strength? Still want to kill people? You can't kill an ant! Hands, use a little more force! Back straight up, two legs stand firm, and I can stand up to you!" I can't kick it!" He raised his leg and kicked his calf.

Chi Heng fell forward and almost hit the ground.

His face was pale, beads of sweat rolled down drop by drop, without saying a word, he retreated to the spot and continued to stand, squatting on horseback and maintaining a sideways posture, with his eyes straight ahead.

The training place is in the wilderness dozens of miles east of Yizhou City. The terrain is spacious and camped on the spot.

This time, thousands of people were recruited in the name of Yan Wangjun.Most of the people joined the army just to have a meal, and at a glance, all of them were sallow, emaciated, and listless.Liang Qianlie was not in a hurry, he set up the big pot first, let everyone eat a few meals, and waited for the energy to recover before starting to practice.

Liang Qianlie was born with a tough face, he said one thing, raising his eyebrows can scare the timid to death, he scolds people hard, the listeners feel ashamed, and the punishment is even more ruthless. Get up the next day, continue to practice while waving the whip.When he got off the training ground, Liang Qianlie was very friendly and mingled with everyone without hesitation. The soldiers respected and loved him and called him Liang Huzi behind his back.

There are two kinds of these thousands of soldiers, one is ordinary soldiers, there are nearly a thousand of them, practicing military discipline, formation, carrying weight, running, jumping, bow and arrow; Join the Black Wolves.It is said that the Black Wolves will be cavalry and archers in the future, specializing in forwards and attacking tough battles.Among the hundreds of people, they are all sixteen or seventeen years old. Liang Qianlie said that the bones have not grown hard, and half-grown people are not afraid of anything and can practice well.

Liang Qianlie's training rules are just one word: practice!

Practice to death!Practice even if you die!

Especially for the one hundred black wolf soldiers he selected, he practiced two things in half a month: squatting and running.Ordinary soldiers practice five hours a day, while black wolf soldiers practice seven hours a day; they get up before dawn and go to bed at midnight.These hundreds of black wolf soldiers knew that Liang Qianlie placed high hopes on them, so they practiced even more vigorously. They were willing to be beaten and scolded. Looks good.

Chi Heng is very thin, standing in a hundred people is not impressive.

He practiced everything hard, but he was trained by Liang Qianlie the most, because he didn't seem to understand, he couldn't get the point of standing and squatting, and Liang Qianlie kicked him for several days, almost Kicked and broke a leg bone.The same goes for running. Liang Qianlie said that he was just fast, lacking momentum, and lacking appearance. He corrected it for several days for running.

Chi Heng held back his energy, no matter day or night, whether Liang Qianlie was with him or not, he practiced hard.Even when he went to bed at night, he had to wonder why Liang Qianlie was so tough, and he was not even one-tenth of him, whether it was skill or something else.

The late spring cold in February and March was colder than the twelfth lunar month, and it rained after a while, and the black wolf soldiers were all wearing thin clothes, and they were drenched in a short while.

Small mud puddles splashed on the ground, and my feet sank into the mud.

Liang Qianlie didn't issue an order to disband, and he also stood in the wind and rain.Hundreds of people were motionless in the bitter wind and rain. Staggering was not as hot as running and jumping. The cold wind was blowing and the cold rain was pouring. After a while, their lips were blue from the cold.Chi Heng practiced hard these days, didn't sleep much, and had an empty skeleton. The cold rain poured into his eyes and mouth, causing pain, and his legs soon became weak.

Liang Qianlie's eyes were bright, and he strode forward: "That year when I guarded the border, it was freezing cold in the severe cold season. I wanted to pour a ladle of water on the city wall, but the water froze in the ladle when I went out. On such a cold day, the house was frozen. The dead were all one by one. The general said, attacking the enemy camp at night! With this sentence, our twenty-something black wolves went out. The mountains were covered with snow, and the horse's legs were frozen, and we were scrambling and crawling. When we arrived at the enemy camp, we took advantage of the unpreparedness and destroyed all the rations and chopped off the head. Twenty thousand enemy soldiers starved to death and froze to death in that place! As for us, brothers No. 23, we died in the scuffle. Ten of them died, and three died of illness when they came back. Eight of them had frozen legs, and only Lao Tzu has survived until now. Is it bitter? We don’t know cold? We don’t know how to build a fire to roast How comfortable! But thinking about this battle, the border will be peaceful. Thousands of brothers in our military camp can survive with all their hands and feet, and we will carry it to death! [-] people killed [-] enemy troops, and we value!"

His voice was so loud that the sound of wind and rain was choked.

"Don't think that Hei Lang listens to the prestige! Others can't make it through, Hei Lang will go; the most difficult thing, Hei Lang will go; in the end, if you can't make it, Hei Lang will still go! Why do I have to train Hei Lang again? Just let everyone Look, what is one enemy against a thousand! What is invincible! What is invincible! We are not dead soldiers, we have to hold the belief that we must die and come back alive!"

The voice of grief and indignation resounded through the wilderness!

Chi Heng stared at Liang Qianlie closely, a wave of heat surged up in his heart, all the cold, all the tiredness and all the burnout were swept away.

That night, they stood at midnight, and the wind and rain did not stop.

When the warm water washed his face, Chi Heng's blood boiled, as if his body was constantly pumping out energy, he couldn't hold it back no matter what, he didn't even want to sleep.He was afraid of disturbing outsiders, so he went out of the camp to have a quiet time.Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Liang Qianlie patrolling the camp, riding on a black horse, alone.The horse walked very slowly today, not as majestic as usual.

"Lieutenant Liang!" Chi Heng cupped his fists.

"It's fine to call Brother Liang. You're still very polite. That kid Zhong Xu doesn't care at all." Liang Qianlie got off his horse and patted Chi Heng on the shoulder. Man, he used to look like a thief, so he had no ambition, and he wanted to fight when he saw it."

Chi Heng chuckled and smelled a strong smell of liquor.

Liang Qianlie let go of the reins, and the black horse found a piece of wild land to eat and draw grass. Liang Qianlie pointed to the east: "Yesterday, King Yan's army attacked Yuanzhou, lost [-] troops, and returned in defeat."

Chi Heng was taken aback for a moment, in his imagination, King Yan's army was invincible.

"Chi Heng, do you know what is more powerful than a black wolf?"

Chi Heng shook his head.

"Back then, our black wolves wiped out 23 enemy troops, not by brute force, but by strategy. Among the [-] of us, there was a strategist who had never fought. What advantages and disadvantages did the opponent have, and what was the layout of the barracks? We knew it clearly beforehand; destroying food and grass first, then beheading the enemy, attacking them by surprise, and winning by surprise, is the reason for our victory. A person with only two hands and two legs, let alone one enemy with a thousand, is surrounded by fifty You can pull you down even if you die. Therefore, the head is more powerful than the black wolf. But why rebuild the black wolf? Because there are some things that only the head can’t do. Most people can’t even crawl to the enemy’s camp. , only our black wolf can do it!" Liang Qianlie patted his chest.

The smell of alcohol became stronger, and Liang Qianlie's voice became more desolate.

"Yan Wang's army has won hundreds of battles at the border. Why did they lose when they quelled civil strife? Do you know? We guard the border with one heart: to resist foreign enemies. But what is the situation in Yuanxi Kingdom now, the princes are divided, and the people are struggling to survive; There are intrigues. There are victories and defeats in wars. But Yan Wangjun’s defeat, I’m afraid..." Liang Qianlie suddenly stopped, "Eat carrots and don’t worry! Laozi and Zuo Zhao guarding Yizhou well is a big deal! When my Liang family's army is capable, no one will be afraid! Kid, go to bed early, when I was 15 years old, I killed people so much that the knife was on the edge!"

After saying that, he took out the long knife as if sighing.

"I'm also proficient in all eighteen martial arts, and the only ones I commonly use today are meteor hammers and knives." Under the dark night, the knives shone coldly and radiated cold air.

"Brother Liang, do you know how to use a sword?"

Liang Qianlie put his two fingers together and slid on the back of the knife: "Swords are not for killing people on the battlefield. Swords should be elegant, but they are thick and thick. Why do you use the sword as an axe? To relieve hatred, you have to use a knife! One knife, it's dripping with joy. That's what you want on the battlefield. Boy, do you have any hatred in your heart?"

hatred?Chi Heng shook his head and nodded again: "I hate those who serve in the military."

Liang Qianlie said with a smile: "I really don't know how you messed up, so you don't hate someone who can really be hated! Those who run rampant, corrupt officials who search for the people's fat and anointing, you can hate any of them!"

"Never met."

Chi Heng really doesn't know who he hates. When he comes out of the mountain, he sees a troubled world. Today this one is king, and tomorrow that one dominates. They are all mighty and domineering at the beginning. It won't be long before their heads hang on the execution ground. It's hard to say. .

Liang Qianlie said with a smile: "Boy Zhong Xu said that you are ruthless, but I don't think you are ruthless at all. This is not acceptable. On the battlefield, you not only have to fight with strength and sword skills, but also with energy and aura. You are ruthless." , others are afraid. The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, and the hard ones are afraid of death! If you have a soft heart and a soft hand, you won’t be able to go to the battlefield, and if you do, you will be destroyed by others.”

Liang Qianlie said all these things during his military training.Chi Heng stroked his hair and smiled.

"Boy, I'll practice sword skills tomorrow. It's not okay to be soft, but if you're a man, you'll be hard!" Liang Qianlie slapped Chi Heng on the back hard.

His hands were so strong that his back hurt from the slap, and Chi Heng stood motionless.

"All right, don't be so tense all the time, you should sleep well. By the way, boy Zhong Xu sent a message a few days ago: let you go to see him when you are free. When you have free time, you give me a good time in the camp." Stay!" Liang Qianlie grinned, he liked Zhong Xu a lot, he was clever, bold and unscrupulous, with a very sweet mouth, he was more and more able to help Zuo Zhao, and he was much more enlightened than Chi Heng.

The stricter it was, the more convincing it was. After a few days, Liang Qianlie's prestige was unshakable.

When Liang Qianlie drew his knife, the black wolves held their breath and were silent.Knife, the sharp weapon for cutting, the courage of a hundred soldiers.Liang Qianlie strode forward, holding the long knife tightly in both hands, and slashed at the void in front of him.There was a whistling wind, and the saber energy overflowed.Although it didn't hit anything, it made people stunned.

This is the simplest move, Shun Dao.

For three consecutive days, Liang Qianlie only taught horizontal chopping and vertical chopping.

However, Chi Heng couldn't wield the momentum of a long knife. Liang Qianlie scolded him many times just for the way he held the knife.Liang Qianlie almost grabbed him by the ear and taught him a lesson: "You! Are you tired of eating? Can you be like a man? Be ruthless, be ruthless!"

The author has something to say: Hold your head up to the clouds floating in the northwest, and rely on the sky to have a long sword thousands of miles away. ——Xin Qiji

However, Chi Heng couldn't wield the momentum of a long knife. Liang Qianlie scolded him many times just for the way he held the knife.Liang Qianlie almost grabbed him by the ear and taught him a lesson: "You! Are you tired of eating? Can you be like a man? Be ruthless, be ruthless!"

Seeing that he was about to fall behind, Chi Heng could only practice day and night.

This day, Chi Heng, who had been scolded by Liang Qianlie again, became more and more angry. He picked up a knife and stood outside the camp in the middle of the night to practice knife skills.

A young man saw him, took a knife and followed him.

This boy is called Cen Pojing, only 17 years old, his eyebrows are like distant mountains, his lips are thin, his body is taller than Chi Heng, he is very talented in learning knives, he is fierce in wielding knives, and won the praise of Liang Qianlie.On weekdays, Cen Pojing and Chi Heng are best friends.Cen Pojing made a few chopping movements to signal, but the more anxious Chi Heng practiced, the more something went wrong.

Practicing swords during the day, the whole body is tense, and some people can't hear the wind and grass. A soldier who was awakened shouted: "Let's not sleep, the sound is too loud, and practice."

Chi Heng and Cen Pojing had no choice but to go to a place where no one was around.

Beyond the camp is a small forest.

At that time in March, there was a pale moon in the sky, it was extremely quiet, the trees were sparsely shadowed, and the breeze rustled.Holding a long knife in his hand, Chi Heng repeatedly practiced straight chops against the void.And Cen Pojing already knows how to use the knife skillfully: cutting, cutting, piercing, and advancing, very freely.

They both practiced until they were sweating profusely, so they lay down and rested on the spot.The weather was warm in March, and the breeze was so refreshing that the two of them fell asleep with their heads leaning against each other.

But it was said that Chi Heng just fell into a dream, and he felt hot and uneasy, and the sound of crows and birds would always surround his ears, making him unable to sleep peacefully.Tossing and turning, half-drowsy and half-awake, with his ear on the ground, he suddenly heard footsteps of 咜咜, he suddenly woke up, and there was no one around.

Quickly put his ears on the ground again, the sound of 咜咜 came closer, coming from the west, the footsteps were very chaotic, about twelve or three people.

Chi Heng hurriedly pushed Cen Pojing to wake him up, and hissed him to listen.

Not understanding what happened, the two took their long knives and walked towards the west camp lightly.Both of them are people who are used to hiding from officers and soldiers, so they are familiar with this matter.After a few dozen steps out of the woods, I saw figures swarming under the moon, no more, no less than 12 people, one of them had already lit the fire.I don't know what the primer is, but it ignites at one o'clock. Fortunately, the fire is not big due to the tide of March.

The man wanted to add something to it, so Chi Heng yelled: "Catch a thief!"

Shocked.

The people in the camp were still in a daze, and the dozen or so people all carried big knives and approached Chi Heng and Cen Pojing.Chi Heng didn't run away, but opened his voice and shouted even louder: Thief caught, fire!Catch a thief, catch a fire!

Strange to say, usually there is a movement and everyone wakes up quickly, but Chi Heng yelled a few times, but there was no movement at all.

Seeing the fire start.

There were two of them who were the strongest, and rushed to the front and swung their big knives and slashed at Chi Heng.As soon as he was about to fall to the top of his head, he heard a clang, and a knife was crossed. It was Cen Pojing who withstood the immediate disaster for him: "Chi Heng, run!"

Only then did Chi Heng come back to his senses, he gripped the long knife tightly, and slashed at it.

In the half-light and half-darkness, one person collapsed.

When the thieves saw this, they became enraged immediately, and slashed at the two of them wielding their big knives.Cen Pojing brandished his saber, desperately resisting the two of them. His saber was fast, fast and sharp. Although he had never killed anyone, he tried his best not to let those people get close.

Chi Heng can't wield a knife, he can only chop a knife like chopping wood.

Seeing those desperadoes were all ruthless, Chi Heng's eyes were also red. Seeing someone trying to get close to him, he yelled, grabbed his long knife and jumped forward, and the big knife slashed down.

There was a scream, and someone slammed across the ground.

Earlier, Cen Pojing blocked the knife for him, seeing that two people were injured, Chi Heng became more and more courageous as he fought, he didn't care that the sword was in front of him, he had the courage to stand in front of him, he roared loudly and slashed forward, regardless of whether he couldn't hit it, It's a ruthless chopping knife!

Not to mention the scuffle here, let's say that someone in the camp finally woke up, and responded to all calls, firefighters, emergency rescuers, and ran over with the guy.Seeing that the situation was not right, those thieves stopped chasing Chi Heng and Cen Pojing, but fought and retreated hoping to get away.How could Chi Heng let them go, he raised his knife and slashed again, someone rolled to the ground in an instant.There was another one who was cornered by Cen Pojing and fell to the ground. Chi Heng stepped forward and stabbed him without saying a word.

After all, the two couldn't surround these people, and finally two of them abandoned their swords and fled.

Chi Heng stepped on one, touched the blood on his face, and reached out to stop Cen Pojing: "Don't chase, let them go."

The soldiers came out with torches and shone on the two of them. Blood was all over their faces, and the bright red was dripping down. Cen Pojing panted heavily, waved his hands and said, "It's all other people's blood, I'm fine. Chi Heng ,And you?"

Chi Heng shook his head: "I don't know."

He really didn't know, he didn't feel pain all over his body, he just slashed forward desperately, forgetting that it was a knife with no eyes, and forgetting whether he would be injured.Fortunately, he was not injured, but his grip on the knife was too tight. Even when he stopped, his joints were still bent and twitched. After a long while, he could finally let go.

Liang Qianlie rushed over, looked at the scene of bleeding all over the ground, and praised him a few words.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the camp and fell asleep.

It was only dawn the next day, and the two had just woken up when they were told that Lieutenant Liang let them go.I met several people along the way, and they all nodded to them, especially the black wolf soldier, who couldn't do without a few compliments, which made Chi Heng very happy.When I passed by the prisoner's hut, I ran to have a look. Only one person was tied there, and when I saw two people, I was terrified and trembling.

So unmotivated!

Chi Heng thought in bewilderment: With such guts, he dared to commit murder and arson?What about the other thieves?

He poured two cups of tea and put them on the table. After Chi Heng finished drinking happily, he was informed that except for the two who escaped and the one who was tied up, the other nine people died.

The two were so shocked that they couldn't speak, Chi Heng said: "...we didn't kill him."

Very desperately, but most of them only cut a knife.

"Is this your first time to kill someone? Don't look at the corpse." Liang Qianlie said with a smile on his face, "Three people, one knife in the front, killed; three people, one knife in the back, killed; three people, chest and neck, respectively. Count the swords and die. Such a clean sword technique is rare!"

It took a long time for Cen Pojing to say: "If the wound is long, it will be Chi Heng's. Most of my injuries are on the heart and neck."

"Sure enough, I saw you right. Cen Pojing, your saber technique is very accurate, and your sword is deadly; Chi Heng, you are brave and fearless." Liang Qianlie laughed generously. , we lost more than just food and grass.”

After a long time, Chi Heng said: "I won't die, I only cut one knife, everyone."

One knife is enough.

Seeing that the faces of both of them were not very good, Liang Qianlie gave them a day off and allowed them to walk around.After leaving the camp, Chi Heng was unhappy, and Cen Pojing walked side by side in the field with him. It was dark last night and he couldn't see clearly. He thought he was just slashing someone, but he didn't expect...the place where the decisive battle was green and there was still a lot of blood The traces, I am afraid that the next heavy rain will wash away the blood.

Cen Pojing straightened his waist: "Someone will die on the battlefield. If you didn't swing your knife desperately yesterday, I might have died."

Chi Heng looked at him puzzled: "You are stronger than me, you were the one who protected me yesterday."

"But if they don't die, my sword is no match for so many people. If I make a careless move, I may be injured or defeated. They are all desperadoes and will not survive. Killing is not only for oneself , and also for the companion. I am very glad that it was you yesterday." Cen Pojing has a clear outline, deep-set black eyes, sharp eyes, looking at the side of his face, cold-blooded but righteous.

After being comforted by him, Chi Heng's heart gradually eased.

Seeing him stretching his eyebrows and eyes, Cen Pojing suddenly smiled, and quickly said: "No wonder Liang Huzi asked me to reassure you, saying that you are ruthless, but soft-hearted, you don't know how to do it when you do it, and you are most likely to regret it afterwards."

But he didn't know that Xiaowei Liang saw him that way, Chi Heng was embarrassed.

Cen Pojing said again: "I don't think so. It's not that you are ruthless, but that you don't know how to use force. When you handle the sword like a hand, you can draw and release it freely. I heard people say that someone wielding a big sword will The tofu has been cut into shreds, thinking how soft and tender the tofu is, it will be smashed with a knife, so it can be seen that the most important thing is the mastery of kung fu."

Chi Heng thought about it, it was indeed the case.

"Lieutenant Liang also said that I really can't let me take you to see Faxiao in Yizhou City, do you still want to go?" Cen Pojing laughed.

Fat?Could it be the clock sequence?Chi Heng shook his head: "You're right, my sword skills are far behind, and I only hurt people with swords. It's not too late to practice now. I saw you practiced very differently a few nights ago."

Cen Pojing didn't hide it either: "Liang Huzi loves to dance swords, so I hid aside and watched, and kept it in my heart to practice secretly at night. Later, he found out, didn't say anything, and even corrected my posture. You If you want to learn, let's go together."

"You can practice again and show me."

Cen Pojing smiled: "It's too much to say, why didn't you ask me when you saw it earlier?"

While laughing, he drew out the long knife and swung it.The knife was extremely fast and whined like a strong wind.Cen Pojing walked with him, and after a while, he saw the blade shining brightly, with a menacing aura that dazzled people. After dozens of strokes, the blade gradually slowed down, but the murderous aura of the blade did not weaken at all.The last move is the green dragon reflecting the moon, turning around and retracting the saber, although the body does not move, there is still a cold wind hitting people.

After watching it intently, Chi Heng sighed sincerely: "That's great, it's exactly the same as what I saw secretly."

Liang Qianlie didn't avoid people too much when he was practicing swordsmanship, and his photographic memory is not something everyone has. Cen Pojing smiled and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you. I feel very lonely by myself."

Chi Heng shook his head: "I have to practice the first knife first."

Just a straight cut would give Liang Qianlie a headache, and this whole set would probably piss him off. Although he was envious, he still had to keep his feet on the ground.

After that day, I thought that Chi Heng's sword skills would make great progress.

Who knew that to everyone's surprise, Chi Heng's saber was even weaker, and he was weak in handling the saber, no matter how much he kicked or scolded him, it was useless.

After that day, I thought that Chi Heng's sword skills would make great progress.

Who knew that to everyone's surprise, Chi Heng's saber was more sluggish, his handling of the saber was weak, no matter how much he kicked or scolded him, it didn't help, the wind of the saber was weaker than before.Thinking that Chi Heng practiced harder than others, Liang Qianlie taught him to practice fiercely swinging the knife every night: "I thought it was hard enough, but I didn't expect to go back."

The other black wolves had learned to swing their sabers forward and lean on the momentum to lower their sabers, but Chi Heng was still in place.The more urgent and slower, Liang Qianlie tried everything, but he just couldn't get it.

In this way, another ten days passed, Liang Qianlie stopped scolding him, and only frowned frequently.

Chi Heng felt uneasy.

One day after the first rain, Liang Qianlie called him to the tent and said, "The carriage is going into the city to transport some grain, so you follow along and hand this secret letter to Zuo Zhao. Don't miss it."

Chi Heng got the order to put the letter away.

Sitting in the carriage, Chi Heng thought about it for a while, not saying whether the letter was important or not, and it was his turn to deliver the letter.In the one and a half months since joining the army, more than [-] unqualified black wolf soldiers have been transferred to ordinary soldiers.That saber is really not something that can be picked up casually, he practiced diligently and didn't save half of his energy, so many blood blisters occurred in his hand, but it still happened.

The camp was not far from Yizhou City, and the carriage arrived in no time.

Chi Heng jumped out of the car and ran into the yamen mansion quietly. He ran around looking for Zuo Zhao, but he didn't see Zuo Zhao.The beams in the yamen mansion are high, and swallows with mud in their mouths fly in and out from time to time, not knowing the world.

He was looking up, when suddenly he was slapped hard on the shoulder: "Hi! Why are you here!"

It wasn't Zuo Zhao, but Zhong Xu, Chi Heng was surprised and delighted.Although it has only been more than a month, the clock sequence is quite different from before.In the past, his clothes were torn and his face was sharp, so he looked pitiful.Now she is dressed in clean blue clothes, her face has grown, and her cheeks have flesh. She looks taller and more mature than before.

Zhong Xu tilted his head to catch everyone's attention: "Chi Heng, why did you become like this?"

At the age of 16, it was the time when his body was growing. Chi Heng had to eat five bowls of rice every day in the military camp, and practiced desperately. His skeleton was much stronger and darker than before.People used to call him a child, but now they have to guess at the first glance.Chi Heng was aware of his changes, and grinned: "How has it changed? Didn't it scare you?"

Zhong Xu honestly and unceremoniously grabbed Chi Heng's hand: "The crime can be over."

The palms and backs of Chi Heng's hands were cracked, and there were scars one by one, which were caused by the cold wind. The south wind blowing these days only healed them.Calluses from both the belly of the fingers and the mouth of the tiger cut the hand when touched.

Zhong Xu couldn't help but said distressedly: "You are really determined, does it hurt, and you don't know how to apply golden sore medicine?"

Chi Heng didn't care: "It doesn't hurt."

Zhong Xu reached out and took the letter out from Chi Heng's body: "It's from Vice Captain Zuo, I'll give it to him."

Zuo Zhao just came in from the door with a smile on his face, greeted Chi Heng, and was about to enter the house.Zhong Xu quickly caught up with him, delivered the letter, and whispered a few words.Zuo Zhao glanced at them both, and said with a pleasant expression, "Okay, don't play too crazy."

Just like releasing the wind, Zhong Xu excitedly dragged Chi Heng to the street.

He was the first to go to Dafang, and besides medicine for sores, he also bought some medicines to stop bleeding, remove blood stasis, and treat colds.The old man in the pharmacy wrapped Chi Heng one by one, saying: "Brother, you are the captain's soldier, right? You have to protect our Yizhou well, and it's finally peaceful."

Not only the pharmacies have medicines for sale, other shops in Yizhou City have opened one after another, and there are also some small stalls.People don’t know where they come from, there are a lot more, and the sun is warmer in April, and they all walk slowly under the sun, which makes people feel the illusion of peace and prosperity.Chi Heng has never seen what it looks like to be "hustle and bustle". When passing by the embroidered rouge shop, there are many pink women picking up rouge delicately, and the voices of Yingying and Yanyu are very pleasant.

No wonder people say: I would rather be a dog in a prosperous world than a man in a troubled world.

It turns out that Taiping is like this.

The haze in Chi Heng's heart was dissipated a lot. Holding the medicine bag, it became hotter and hotter as they walked. When the two reached the bridge, they heard the lively sound of horns and suonas, and then a long line of greetings came out from the stone road. All the people are dressed festively. The head groom is riding a horse with a large red flower made of cloth tied on his chest. He is wearing a red dress with colorful clothes and a spring breeze.

Chi Heng suddenly remembered that there was also a person in red, but he looked much better than this.

He was too busy to think about it.

Zhong Xu tugged at his sleeve, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at the oil on the groom's face, it's enough to cook a dish after scraping off."

Chi Heng couldn't help laughing: "You are the only one who is clean."

"Look at your lustful look just now, do you want to see how beautiful the bride is? Are you thinking about going into the bridal chamber? Is it..." Zhong Xu's words were crisp and bright, scattered all over the ground like beads, attracting People crossing the bridge looked sideways.

Chi Heng was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down, who would think so?"

"Then you didn't roll your eyes just now!"

"I'm not, I'm not, I don't want to ride a horse." Chi Heng argued hastily, his voice getting lower and lower, remembering that the sword has been practiced like this, when can I ride a horse?

Zhong Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's about the same. That's right, last time Captain Liang came back and praised you severely, saying that you are good at killing the enemy. He has trained so many soldiers, and this is the first time he has seen you like this." , purely natural attack, no skill but so powerful."

Unexpectedly, being praised by Lieutenant Liang so much, Chi Heng felt a sense of guilt that "it's hard to live up to his reputation".

Weakly said: "I am a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse."

"Don't be humble, I've heard him say that even though you were protected by another black wolf, you were not harmed by so many people besieging you, which shows that you are good at dodging; secondly, you can kill a wolf with one blow." , it means that you have good eyesight and are quick enough. Also, your saber technique, ordinary people can only chop off an arm and leg or something even if they are chaotic, but the person you kill is either a straight knife from the head to the abdomen, or the back of the head A straight cut to the tailbone, how could it be such a coincidence." Zhong Xu spoke eloquently.

Chi Heng was startled, he had never seen the deceased, and this was the first time he heard the death of the deceased, he did not expect such a bloody scene, which made himself terrified.

That night was dark, he only saw those people jumping to the ground immediately.

Zhong Xu saw that he was dumbfounded again, and knew that he had slipped the tongue: "Forget it, let me just say it. When Captain Liang came back a few days ago, I asked Zuo Zhao to persuade you that killing people is nothing. , don’t act like a sinner, it’s a troubled world, everyone is in charge, each depends on his ability, and he can’t blame anyone. I begged Zuo Zhao, so I dragged you out to relax.”

It seems that they already knew it, Chi Heng stopped smiling and stood on the railing, watching the stream under the bridge swell.

"Actually, those people are really bad people. What they want to burn is not just military rations—think about how much military rations the camp can have. Besides, they can be transported from the city after burning, right? And it's not just marching thousands of miles, You can't live without the rations." Zhong Xu approached Chi Heng and whispered, "What they want to burn is Lieutenant Liang's post, don't mention it, there are a lot of tricks here."

After listening to Zhong Xu's explanation one by one, Chi Heng knew the whole story.

It turns out that the destruction of military rations can be a big or small crime for a general. If it is serious, he will be dismissed from office and beheaded, and if it is light, he will be demoted.This means that if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, Liang Qianlie will definitely not be able to secure the position of captain.

"According to what you mean, isn't it the fault of the rebellious army?" Chi Heng asked back.

Zhong Xu nodded: "This is a disaster for Xiao Qiang! You have also seen that Colonel Liang is so powerful that the remnants of the rebel army dare not act rashly; Zuo Zhao has a well-regulated state, and now Yizhou has begun to prosper, and there are even some wealthy families in neighboring states Unbearable to be displaced in troubled times, envious of Chuping here, and want to migrate here. Some people don't want Liang Xiaowei and Zuo Zhao to stay in the important land of Yizhou, and want to drive them away."

"Many good generals and famous ministers were destroyed in internal fighting."

"The relationship is complicated. I have to do a lot of things now. Apart from dealing with various case files, I'm also learning strategies such as dissension, rebellion, and crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. We just let others bully us, don't we?" Seeing him interested , Zhong Xu Xu Xu talked about many unknown things, Chi Heng listened with gusto.

The two talked more and more vigorously, Zhong Xu dragged him to a quiet corner.This is a very old ancestral hall, covered with tiles all around, with a three-foot-square patio exposed in the middle.

The sunlight leaked down, shining on a bottomless ancient well in the center.

By the well, Zhong Xu was silent instead, only holding Chi Heng's hand and not letting go.Chi Heng's heart seemed to be shining into the sun, although it was still cold, there was warmth.The two looked at each other, but smiled without speaking.There is an old saying: "The stronger is the stronger generation, and in the end it will be empty and wrong." Competing for strength will always be tiring. How can it be like this, hand in hand with friends, even for a moment is comfortable.

The two stayed for less than a cup of tea, and someone came in from the ancestral hall.This man was wearing a straw hat and sleeves, as if he was going to burn incense.After walking around, he wanted to go out without offering incense, getting closer and closer to Chi Heng and his wife.

A gust of dark wind hit, Chi Heng's body was faster than his brain, he pushed the clock sequence away and flew up.

Kick in the thigh.

The man backed away hurriedly, and the straw hat was overturned on the ground. It turned out to be a man with sallow hair, who looked like a villain.

Seeing Chi Heng's quick movements, the yellow-haired man was shocked, and drew a sharp knife from his waist.Chi Heng sneered, stepped forward, and kicked with such momentum that the yellow-haired man fell to the ground, only knowing that he was holding the sharp knife tightly.Chi Heng wanted to go forward to grab the knife, but was stopped by Zhong Xu: "Let him go."

The yellow-haired man ran away like shit.

Zhong Xu laughed loudly, and boasted to Chi Heng: "Such good legs and feet, I will treat you with admiration after three days."

Chi Heng laughed: "It's not that I'm good, it's that he's too crippled."

Zhong Xu waved his hand and said, "You just don't know it. Let me ask you, if that man was very skilled just now and tried to hurt me with a knife, what would you do?"

"Of course I protect it with all my might." Chi Heng squinted at him, "Can it still make you suffer?"

"What if, like us, he is an innocent citizen?"

"Everyone is innocent in troubled times, I want you to survive." Chi Heng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why did that person want to harm you?"

Judging from the target of the man's attack, it must be Zhong Xu, but he didn't expect Chi Heng to be good at it.Zhong Xu smiled indifferently: "Because I also do things that hurt people. Last time I helped Zuo Zhao think of a few ideas and made several people miserable, so... I don't leave Zuo Zhao easily now because I am afraid of being attacked. "

Chi Heng was surprised: "Really?"

"I'm also a half-counselor now. Since I'm in King Yan's army, I'm naturally facing King Yan and Yizhou City." When he said this, Zhong Xu said very proudly, "I told you just now, internal fighting. We have to deal with it At the same time as Yizhou, we must deal with the treacherous officials under the emperor, they are looking at the treasure land of Yizhou, waiting to take it for themselves."

This is, not just fighting?

Zhong Xu shook Chi Heng's hand: "I don't want you to go to war, even if we wander for a lifetime, we will definitely not starve to death, maybe we can live a happy life. But Zuo Zhao convinced me, since in troubled times, you can steal EY
