The northwest edge of the land is covered with snow and full of Yinchuan. It's almost May, but it's still cold and windy.

The name of the city is very beautiful, it is called Changsu, but it is a place that outsiders do not want to come. Most of the prisoners who were imprisoned by the garrison here were prisoners who had been exiled, and there were no more than 1,000 local people, but there were more than 3,000 prisoners under guard.

The officers and soldiers stationed in Changsu City belonged to Jiuyuan, when Heboduo invaded with iron hooves, Changsu City became a place flooded by war, and the people moved in a big way, until the imperial court regained the lost territory a year ago, and slowly became alive again.

The high mountains outside the city of Changsu blocked the border between the Great Jin and Heboduo with a natural barrier, and since the beginning of the previous year, the imperial court has let people enter Changsu to build a city wall, stretching for hundreds of miles from west to east. Such a huge project naturally required labor, so the prisoners who were assassinated and exiled became the main force.

As soon as dawn broke, the soldiers guarding the city opened the city gates, and there was a mighty group of people waiting outside the gates, led by a young man in his early twenties, who seemed quite impatient because of sleepiness, and when the city gate was opened, he cursed and muttered a few words, and then touched the horse's belly and led the people into the city.

"Lady Tai, you're back. The little soldier guarding the city stepped forward, pushed the things in his hand to the dish, and said like a treasure: "But you are looking forward to returning your lordship, this is a good thing that the little ones have found in the past few days, and you keep it for the adults." ”

"Hmm. He dragged the tail note and pulled at the things, picked out a few of them, and pointed the rest behind the man: "Give my brother a few rewards." ”

"Yo, Lord Xie. ”

"Master Xie. ”

Those few people rushed over to grab it, and then he glanced at the team behind him, and said to Li Changsu, the deputy general next to him: "Bring people back to the camp." ”

"Yes. Li Changsu agreed, and when he saw that he was beating his horse to the west, he hurriedly stopped a guard and asked, "Why don't you see Brother Bai?"

The soldier yawned and replied vaguely, "He's not on duty today, he should have gone up to the mountains to hunt rabbits again." That's right, as long as he is high, he doesn't follow us all the way, he should suffer hardships and poverty, phew. After the man finished speaking, he snorted, and thought of Li Changsu's friendship with that person, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't blame my lord, what we said is the truth." ”

Li Changsu knew that they were used to relying on the power of the vessel for a long time, but that person did not join them after he came, and everyone did not run on it openly and secretly, but that person's martial arts were higher than them, and his official position was higher than theirs, although he was only a small city gate official, he was also their top boss, so it was understandable for everyone to say a few words in private.

"I'll take the men back to the camp first. Li Changsu glanced at the team behind him, beckoned and headed towards the camp.

This time, a total of 320 people were brought in, all of whom were exiled from various places, and in fact, whatever they committed, they were basically abolished at this point. Many people died on the construction site of the city wall because of the harsh environment and living conditions, and there were also those who could not stand the suffering and fled. The people here, the soldiers in the barracks, and the prisoners under his jurisdiction all bowed down to him and trembled, but it was the little city gate official Bai Shaoqing, who was soft and hard, and he was not less angry in the past six months.

I heard that he was originally a person under the command of Mo Han, a famous young general in the DPRK, who had fought in battle and led soldiers, and I don't know why he was demoted to this desolate place in the northwest by the emperor's three gold medals.

It is also said that the people who have led the soldiers through the battlefield have their own pride, and he can stay here quietly, I am afraid that there is a reason why he must insist.

"Keep up. Li Changsu looked back and saw that someone was procrastinating, so he pulled the horse around and raised the long whip.

These people are all guilty of committing crimes to come here, and many of them are not good at stubble, if they don't suppress them at first, I'm afraid that there will be no longer a few people who pick quarrels and provoke troubles later, so they should be beaten mercilessly.

Li Changsu swung his long whip over the heads of several people, and hit the body of the person behind him, who was very tall, and the tail of the whip flicked over his cheek, and the flesh suddenly opened and blood flowed.

"Don't leave yet!" Li Changsu roared, but the man glared at him, and his tower-like body shook suddenly, as if he was about to pounce forward.

"Smack!" was another whip, and Li Changsu also lost his temper. The man's body trembled, and a fierce light appeared in his bronze bell-like eyes, and he couldn't hold it back when he saw it, and Li Changsu's third whip had arrived in front of him. There was an uproar in the crowd, and the confrontation between the soldiers and the prisoners suddenly drew a circle.

"Smack. The end of the long whip was caught by a man with his bare hands. The man who had taken the whip stood beside the man who had been beaten, unkempt and ragged, and with his head bowed.

"Why should adults bother with others, they can't get used to it, there are opportunities. His words were short, but to the point.

It is extremely true that who doesn't know what the fate of the people who come here will be, life is just a breath of life, if such a person is forced to launch a ruthless attack, I am afraid that he will have to pull a few backs until he dies.

Li Changsu's face improved slightly, he pulled back the long whip in his hand, pointed at the tower-like man, and said, "This person has no food for two days." ”

"Yes!" the soldier on the side hurriedly replied.

Li Changsu looked at the person beside him again, thought for a while, and said, "You, raise your head and let me see." ”

The man did not answer him, but still lowered his head, and his unkempt hair covered his eyebrows, looking very sloppy. Li Changsu frowned, jumped off his horse and walked over to separate the crowd.

The whip handle brushed away the man's messy hair, and after seeing the tattoo on the man's left cheek, Li Changsu couldn't help but be stunned.

The man's cheeks were not tattooed with robbers, robbers, bandits, and the like like others, but with a beast's head pierced with green fangs, which looked particularly hideous.

I have never heard of such a precedent for such punishment, but what did this man do?

Li Changsu looked at the man's eyebrows with a puzzled face.

The man's lowered eyes still did not look at him, there was no expression on his calm face, his facial features were very handsome, and he was very young.

"You, what's your name? ”

The man's expression changed subtly for a moment, and a trace of confusion flashed in his dark eyes, and he paused for a long time, revealing a bit of bitterness.

"I ...... No name. Call me...... Big bull is good. ”

There is no longer me in this world, naturally, even the name has disappeared, and from now on, the big cow is me, and I am the big cow!
