"That's right. Back then, my father asked the shop owner to forge a good sword, and it took more than a year to forge it. I couldn't wait any longer, so I ran to the shop. The blacksmith took a drop of my blood, and the sword was forged. "

Yan Xing spoke plainly, but his heart was full of thoughts.He was only ten years old at that time, rolled up his sleeves, put his wrist in his mouth, and bit hard at the light blue blood.I saw blood gushing out from the pulse, as gorgeous as a red thread.Regardless of the burning of the flame, he stretched his hand into the furnace, and the blood went straight to the red sword as if he knew how to find his way.In an instant, the sword and the fire burned fiercely, blood and fire intertwined, the blood and the sword blended instantly, and the radiance of ten thousand zhang blazed forth.

Chi Heng, Cen Pojing and the others didn't know such details, and seeing Yan Xing sighed, they couldn't figure it out.

Yan Xing continued: "At that time, the blacksmith took a large piece of rare black iron from Mang Mountain, so not only forged my Yintian Sword, but also forged a knife. But when the knife was finished, I don't know Whether it’s the wrong time or something, it’s made very blunt—that’s it, too unique to remember.” After finishing speaking, he touched the heavy knife blade again, puzzled.

Chi Heng smiled, it turned out that his saber and Yan Xing's sword were of the same clan.

Cen Pojing explained: "A knife is not what it looks like. This knife looks blunt, and it can't even chop tofu, but once Chi Heng uses it, it's no exaggeration to say that it will shock the world!"

Yan Xing pondered for a while and said, "Maybe this forging material is bloodthirsty."

Afterwards, Yan Xing held his sword and thought hard, Cen Pojing went to test it again, only to find out that he had seen Chi Heng's sword dancing, and he had some enlightenment, maybe he was thinking hard about a new sword technique.Whether it is practicing swordsmanship or meditating, it is useless for Yan Xing to be distracted by others.

Cen Pojing also practiced swordsmanship, and he and Chi Heng practiced equally.

Yan Xing watched it with relish, and quickly integrated the two's saber skills into the sword skills. He even stepped on the water and fencing the sword to stir up thousands of waves. The line is tightly covered.When Cen Pojing and Chi Heng saw each other, they were astonished, he was facing the lake, if he was facing the crowd, there would be no survivors where the sword pointed.

Fortunately, Yan Xing only focused on practicing swords, and never focused on killing people.

Unknowingly, the three of them entered Yizhou, and the north side of Yizhou, shouldering Feng Zhencang, had already been ruined to the point of shame.A little way to Yizhou City, the tranquility returned.Yan Xing didn't say a word about separation, Cen Pojing reminded: "Yan Xing, your residence goes north to Fenzhou? We went south to Yizhou."

Yan Xing was surprised, looked at the two of them calmly and said: "Yizhou? It's not far away, it's good to go all the way."

Cen Pojing couldn't laugh or cry.

Yan Xing has always been calm and calm, as if his original itinerary was like this.Seeing that he looked like an outsider and ignorant of world affairs, Chi Heng privately said to Cen Pojing: "I'm afraid Yan Xing has always been isolated from the world. He practiced swordsmanship by himself and didn't know how big the world is. Now Seeing that the two of us are good at swordsmanship, it can make him enlighten to swordsmanship. Enlightenment is addicted, so he is reluctant to leave. Persuasion doesn’t work, it’s harmless anyway, follow along.”

Cen Pojing was speechless: "Could this be someone who followed casually? It's not a person on the same path."

Yan Xing is willful and casual, never caring or caring about other people's eyes.So even though Cen Pojing was very entangled and tactfully said words to persuade him to leave several times, Yan Xing didn't realize it.

On the contrary, Cen Pojing stopped talking. One day, Yan Xing himself said suddenly: "I have gained a lot in the past few days. I want to find a place to practice swordsmanship. You go first, and I will arrive later."

Then he disappeared suddenly, making Cen Pojing so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry.

Along the way, Chi Heng didn't rest, in addition to understanding everything Cen Pojing knew, he also understood other world affairs.The war was in turmoil, as long as it was about the war, rumors ran very fast, there were all kinds of rumors, and Feng Zhencang's name was heard a lot.

At the end of March at that time, the warm wind was warm, and the warm fragrance came with the wind. Unknowingly, it was close to Yizhou City, on a high ground, and the mountains were like peaks in the distance.If you don't want to face it, you have to face it, Cen Pojing asked Chi Heng: "Chi Heng, have you thought about it clearly? Liang Huzi is our mentor, he treats us well, and there is still a position as a general."

Chi Heng replied calmly: "In troubled times, you must either choose the Ming Lord, or establish yourself as the king. Ming Lord, I will not recognize anyone except... General Lang! It is no problem for Liang Huzi to lead the army, but he has no ability. Becoming the overlord of a strategizing party can also be seen from the fact that Yizhou was suppressed by Feng Zhencang and had no power to fight back. He is my mentor, and I will never forget his kindness in my life, and I will never be against him. If I meet you in the future, I will kneel down and apologize!"

Cen Pojing said with emotion: "You stayed for a short time, and you can harden your heart. Liang Huzi is so kind to you and me, I can't bear it. However, you are right, we have to Don't go and see Liang Huzi? It's really unreasonable to pass through the door and not enter!"

"What if he keeps it?"

"..."

"If he asks to stay, I can't refuse. Once he agrees, he must go all out. A mentor is one yardstick, and following is another yardstick. Once you make a decision, you can't go back on your word, otherwise it will be inhumane. Therefore, I will not enter Yizhou City!"

"When we go to Rong Yue, we are depending on others."

Chi Heng was full of confidence: "Rong Yue is different. Let's go to build a state. For Rong Yue, it is not two more generals, but like a tripod that can hold the position of hegemony at once. Cen Pojing, are you willing?" Follow Liang Huzi, or do you want us to fight the world together?"

Cen Pojing took a deep breath, and smiled: "I've been looking for half a year, but it's not for breaking up now!"

Riding on the horse, Chi Heng looked at the city wall of Yizhou City from a distance. On the wall, the flag of King Yan's army was still flying with the wind. sorrow and grief.

Chi Heng whipped the horse very fast.

Cen Pojing was still lingering very much, he rode his horse to catch up with him for a long time, even if that was the case, he turned his head and looked wistfully until he never saw Yizhou City again.

After crossing Yizhou and Yishan Mountain, he arrived at the land of Leizhou. When he first entered Leizhou, Chi Heng received a lot of battle reports.People who asked passers-by only knew that Leizhou belonged to Yan Wangjun, and Leizhou was dominated by Rongyue, but not many people knew that Yan Wangjun was no longer Yan Wangjun.

Chi Heng and his two galloped to Shicheng, Leizhou.

Even if it was a Maxima, it took a month, and the two of them were already unkempt and dusty.At that time, it was night, Shicheng was still Shicheng, but it was no longer Cen Pojing Chiheng's territory.The guards were all unfamiliar faces.But after hearing the two people's names, they were immediately introduced to the mansion.

Rong Yue lives in the Luo Mansion.

The Luo Mansion is magnificent and graceful. There are so many gatehouses and houses, so many rockeries and so many verandas.

Not long after, Chi Heng heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching, but no one saw him, and the hearty and excited voice came first.

"Chi Heng, Po Jing!"

Rong Yue almost rushed over, and slammed his fist hard on Chi Heng's chest.

My ribs hurt.

Chi Heng smiled and waved his hand to punch him twice.I haven't seen him for more than a year, Rong Yue is still so wild and unruly, his face is full of arrogance and self-confidence, but the outline of his eyebrows and eyes are a little deeper, maybe he just fell asleep, his clothes are still opened so presumptuously, and the green dragon at his waist shows a claw.

Rong Yue led them into his backyard, and it was much more spacious in an instant. There were no fancy rockery and clear springs, only woody flowers blooming on the ivy frame, and the emerald green was dotted with white. Cen Pojing couldn't help but mutter: "It's gorgeous outside Grand, how did you enter your yard, it suddenly became much cleaner, and there is an indescribable smell."

Chi Heng looked around and smiled: "It smells like Zixingtai."

Zixing Terrace is a Taoist temple, so it is clean and quiet, and the scenery is quiet. This backyard has the same effect.Rong Yue laughed: "I didn't make it like this on purpose, it just looks like the courtyard is relatively spacious." Although there is no quietness in his nature, but he has heard and seen, and unconsciously, some things have subtly changed.

The three sat around a stone table.

A jug of wine.

The three drink together.The wine is flower wine, and the aroma is striking.Rong Yue didn't ask where Chi Heng had been this year, poured wine and poured three big bowls of Chi Heng, only filling Chi Heng to the point of begging for mercy, and finally rioted, and Rong Yue poured three pots to each other, talking nonsense Angrily.

After the three pots passed, Rong Yue put down the bowl: "Pojing, have you thought it through?"

Cen Pojing smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Rong Yue turned to Chi Heng: "Chi Heng, have you thought it through?"

Chi Heng is addicted to alcohol, he has been sober and ascetic all year, and occasionally drinks sake, how can he stand this kind of strong wine that tastes sweet in his throat, but his mind is clear, he asked back : "Have you thought it through again?"

Rong Yue smiled: "I don't have a second way. Yesterday, I wrote the last letter to Liang Huzi, clearly stating that Leizhou belongs only to General Lang's Yan Wangjun and will not seek refuge with anyone. However, Leizhou does not Fortunately, I defended very hard, and I only dispersed the group of troops sent by Feng Zhencang two days ago——Feng Zhencang is crazy."

Rong Yue dipped his fingers in the wine and drew several arcs on the table.

"Chi Heng, Po Jing, you don't need to worry. Yan Wang's army in Leizhou is not like other places. The soldiers here are all recruited by us, and I personally trained them. The generals were all promoted by Chi Heng at the beginning—I The idea is very simple, whether it belongs to Duan Di or Liang Huzi, I am not willing, since they stand on their own flagpoles, why can't we!" Rong Yue put the pot on the stone table and looked at Chi Heng.

Chi Heng pushed the wine bowl: "We can't stand with one base."

"you are not willing?"

"Did you know? Zheng Yi swallowed Anzhou and Ningzhou within a year, and Feng Zhencang also swallowed the huge Muzhou. What Feng Zhencang is most anxious about: swallowing Yizhou, but he couldn't swallow it all at once; What Zheng Yi is most anxious about is to take down Yuanzhou, but he is beyond his reach. So at least within half a year, Liang Huzi and Duan Di can still hold on. However, if things go on like this, Feng Zhencang will definitely be able to swallow Yizhou It's because Feng Zhencang governs the three states, while Liang Huzi only takes Yizhou to bear it."

"We only have one state, too."

"More states and fewer states are not necessary for the chances of winning. Liang Huzi has no strategy of connecting horizontally or expanding outwards at all. He just carries it hard. Can he pass it? Duandi is the same, but he is just tired of coping. It is the same if the base state , It’s definitely not exhausting to fight hard. And the longer it takes, the greater the odds of Feng Zhencang’s victory.”

Rong Yue was silent.
