The end of the world, the penal colony.

Although Bu Yangying repeatedly asked to join the cavalry patrol, Yan Beixing did not agree, "Whether you can join the cavalry team or not requires the approval of Lin Mang, the head of the recruit army." Old man Yan said.

But obviously, Bu Yangying seems to be difficult to get Lin Mang's approval, on the contrary, he has been "taken care of" by Lin Mang many times, the night watch on the high wall, the cleaning of the training ground, or the polishing of weapons.

Bu Yangying had no choice but to continue to mingle with the recruits.

Fortunately, he had real comrades-in-arms in exile, the black-bearded fat man Chao Meng, Ding Busan, Ding Busi and Xiaoyan Musheng, and now, it seems that even the pock-faced Dane and the big-eared Huhan have changed their attitude towards him.

Bu Yangying was instructing several of his brothers to practice swords, and the black-bearded fat man stopped and opened his eyes wide: "God, Brother Shadow, take a look." ”

Bu Yangying turned, and through the narrow eyes of his helmet, he saw the fattest boy he had ever seen in his life standing at the door of the armory.

By visual inspection alone, this person is about three hundred and fifty pounds, and his fat chin completely covers the fluffy neckline of the embroidered jacket. The round face was like a full moon, and a pair of pale eyes on the full moon were turning around awkwardly, and the sweaty fat fingers were rubbing on the velvet coat.

In contrast, the fat man with the black beard and the boy are like a wild boar to an elephant.

"They told me to come here, saying I was training. The fat boy puffed up his courage and said.

"Brother Gongzi," Xiao Yan Musheng said, "Eighty percent of those from the south are from the territory of the Murong family. "Little Eyed Musheng once followed the troupe around, claiming that a pair of small eyes are enough to distinguish where others come from and what they do for a living.

The fat boy wore a fluffy coat with a deer embroidered on his chest with gray and black silk threads, and Bu Yangying did not recognize this emblem, which should be a vassal from a certain family.

Lin Mang's sect leader looked at him, a novice, shook his head and sighed, "It seems that there is a shortage of thieves or robbers in the south, and it is not enough to send a pig.

Some of the onlookers laughed heartily.

The fat boy resigned himself to Lin Mang's instructions and went to the armory to change his armor.

This created a huge problem for Gan Tie, the head of the armory, who had to disassemble the two breastplates, and then put them on his front and back, and tied them with thin ropes on both sides. Even the largest helmets were still too small, and the leather gauntlets and leggings were so tightly tied to the limbs that the fat boy could barely move.

When fully armed, the new kid looks like a lassoed balloon that could burst at any moment.

"I hope your strength isn't as useless as you seem," Lin Mang, the head of the recruit coach, said, "Dane, try how powerful the pig-headed general is?"

Bu Yangying frowned immediately when he heard this, Bu Yangying and Dane had made friends many times, and knew that this guy was cruel and had no mercy.

"Someone is going to be out of luck now. Little Eyed Musheng muttered, and things were indeed as he said.

The fight ended in less than a minute. The fat boy fell to the ground, the armor didn't know whether he had broken it himself or by Ma Tie, it was scattered, the helmet had already flown far away, blood flowed from the fat fingers on the back of his head, and he fell to the ground and trembled all over.

"I surrender!" he cried out, "stop fighting, I surrender." ”

Ma Tie and the big-eared Hu Han and several veterans laughed together.

Even so, Lin Mang, the head of the recruit coach, still did not give up. "Get up for me, General Pighead," he called, "pick up your sword." ”

Seeing that the fat man was still lying on the ground, Ma Tie said to Dane, "Keep beating him until he gets up." ”

Dane tentatively tapped the fat man's raised cheek. "You don't think that's all. Ma Tie said sarcastically.

So Dane held the sword in both hands, and slashed down fiercely, with such force that although he used the spine of the sword, he saw that the middle of the fat man's belly was sunken like a valley, and the fat recruit wailed in pain.

Bu Yangying took a step forward, and the fat man with the black beard hurriedly reached out to grab him, "Brother Shadow, don't meddle in your business." Hei Hu glanced at the sect leader Lin Mang and whispered.

"Don't get me up yet. Ma Tie said again, the fat boy struggled to get up, but he slipped and fell heavily to the ground.

"The pig-headed general almost succeeded," said the head of the sect, Lin Mang, "and get up and fight again." ”

Dane held his sword and prepared to continue, "Kill the pig for the New Year!" Ma Tie gloated.

Bu Yangying shook off Blackbeard's hand. "That's enough, Dane. ”

Dane turned his head to look at the head of the sect, Lin Mang.

"Little white face came out again?" said Lin Mang, the head of the recruit sect, in his sharp and cold voice, "Don't forget, this is my territory. ”

"Dane, take a look at him for yourself," Bu Yangying deliberately ignored Lin Mang, "He has surrendered, what do you mean by falling into a well like this?" He squatted down beside the fat recruit.

Dane lowered his sword, "Yes, he surrendered. He muttered a repetition.

Sect leader Lin Mang stared at Bu Yangying with his yellowed eyes, "It's okay to fight unevenly, but well," he said while watching Bu Yangying pick up the fat man, "I'm afraid you have to fight for him." ”

Bu Yangying had no choice but to show his sword, which was also expected, but he was confident that there was no opponent in this group.

But on the opposite side, there were five people who flashed their swords at the same time, Ma Tie, Dane and Hu Han, as well as two tall and strong veterans.

Lin Mang didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it, even if the battle in front of him was unfair.

"Hide behind my back. Bu Yangying said to the fat recruit. He'd never played five at the same time on the training ground, and he knew he'd probably be scarred when he went to bed tonight, so he held his breath and prepared to make a big move.

Little Eyed Musheng suddenly appeared beside him, "I want to come and play too." Xiaoyan flashed his sword and said happily. Bu Yangying didn't even have time to thank Mu Sheng, and the black-bearded fat man also stepped forward with his sword.

The whole square fell silent. Bu Yangying felt the eyes from the sect leader Lin Mang, and it was not friendly.

"Are you waiting for dark?" Lin Mang asked Ma Tie and the others without difficulty.

However, the first to strike was indeed Bu Yangying, Lin Mang's words were still there, and the sword attacked Ma Tie, and Ma Tie almost had time to block.

Two tall and strong veterans cooperated with Ma Tie to besiege Bu Yangying, Mu Sheng fought against Dane, and the black-bearded fat man and the big-eared Hu Han fought together.

Bu Yangying maintained a constant attack, so that the three of them could not successfully surround him, forcing Ma Tie to retreat step by step.

To understand your enemies, Bear Face used to teach him this, and Bu Yangying knows Ma Tie well, he is fierce but impatient, and he is not good at defending. As long as he continues to attack layer by layer, he will soon open the door and be full of flaws.

The battle of the others is also going on sonorously. A week ago, Mu Sheng was probably not Dane's opponent, but after Bu Yangying's many instructions, he held his position steadily, which gave Dane a big headache.

The fat man with the black beard is not so good, the big-eared Hu Han is flexible and agile, and the black beard has no use for all his strength, and he is dizzy by Hu Han, and he is about to suffer.

Bu Yangying's tight attack forced Ma Tiejie to retreat and defend with all his might. But I saw that Bu Yangying's sword suddenly swept behind him, and swept a tall veteran who followed behind him with the spine of the sword, and the veteran fell to the ground in response.

Bu Yangying, who broke through the three of them, switched positions, strode to the side of the big-eared Hu Han, and saw Bu Yangying and Hei Hu beckoning to Hu Han with their swords, Hu Han was not ambiguous, and without saying a word, he learned to be a fat recruit, and hurriedly retreated and shouted: "Don't fight, I surrender, I surrender." ”

The tide of the battle turned in an instant, from three to five to three to three.

Bu Yangying and Hei Hu shook their spirits, raised their swords and turned around to meet Ma Tie and the veterans who rushed over, Ma Tie was weak for a while, and he had no fighting spirit, and secretly scolded Hu Han for being spineless.

Sect leader Lin Mang looked around the audience with a disgusted expression: "You little devils have been playing tricks for too long, and today's practice is over." With that, he walked away, and the day's practice was over.

Ma Tie picked up the veteran who was knocked down by Bu Yangying, glanced at Hu Han fiercely with his eyes, and left angrily.

At the end of the battle, Bu Yangying's shoulder, covered in armor and leather, felt a faint pain, and he put away his sword and tried to remove his helmet, but as soon as he raised his hand, he grinned in pain.

"Let me do it. A voice said. Thick fingers nimbly untied the belt around his throat and gently lifted the helmet, "Is it serious?"

"It's fine, it's not the first time, and it won't be the last. Bu Yangying touched his shoulders and frowned, except for a few of them, the training ground was empty.

The fat recruit had a clotted blood clot in his hairline, thanks to Dain.

"My name is Nalan Invincible, and I'm from ......" he paused to lick his lips, "I mean...... That I ...... I 'was' from the Southern Nalan family, but now, I volunteered to come to the penal colony. My father is ......" he didn't continue.

"Your name is invincible? haha. The little eyed Musheng looked at the figure of the fat man "Wei'an" and smiled unkindly.

"My name is Wu Ying, an orphan. Bu Yangying said.

Nalan Invincible nodded. "I ...... Call me fat if you want, I don't feel comfortable calling me by my name, obviously, I don't match my name. After the fat man finished speaking, he lowered his head.

"This is Mu Sheng, Chao Meng, Ding is not three, Ding is not four. Bu Yangying briefly introduced.

"The ugly one is Ding Busi. Mu Sheng said.

Ding Busi said with a displeased face: "Where are you handsome? At least others can see my eyes, unlike you, it's just a slit." ”

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The fat boy said.

"Why didn't you stand up and fight back just now?" Mu Sheng asked him.

"I want to, really, but I'...... I just can't do it. I don't want to be beaten all the time. The fat boy looked at the ground, "I...... I guess I'm a wreck, my father used to say. ”

Everyone is in the local area, even Mu Sheng can't speak, and he has always liked to express his opinion on everything, how can anyone claim to be a wreck?

Nalan Invincible must have read their thoughts on their faces, and as soon as his gaze met Bu Yangying's eyes, he immediately turned away like a wounded animal.

"I, I'm sorry," he said, "I don't want to do that, I'll drag you down." He walked heavily towards the armory.

Bu Yangying said to his back, "You're injured, you'll improve tomorrow." ”

Nalan Invincible turned his head sadly. "No," he said, holding back tears, "I'll never improve." ”

After he left, Mu Sheng frowned. "Everybody hates cowards," he said uncomfortably, "knowing we weren't going to help him." ”

Bu Yangying didn't speak, and quietly walked to the armory, hung up the matching sword, and took off a sword-scarred armor.

Life in the penal colony had a fixed pattern: sword training in the morning and work in the afternoon. The penal colony gives recruits a variety of different errands to judge their suitability.

Occasionally, Bu Yangying would be ordered to take Bai Shan out hunting and add dishes to Yan Beixing's dinner, he cherished this opportunity to go out very much, but unfortunately this kind of opportunity was very rare.

More often than not, he spent most of his time in Gan Tiesheng's arsenal, turning the whetstone, helping the unique blacksmith sharpen his blunt axe, or agitating a hair dryer while Gan Tiesheng was hammering the sword.

Of course, in his spare time, Gan Tiesheng is also willing to teach Bu Yangying to play with swords, this former sixth Andrew is extraordinary, but he can't explain it, so he can only dance and demonstrate it alone.

Coincidentally, Bu Yangying has a very high talent for martial arts, which seems to be innate, he is born for fighting, he often watches Gan Tiesheng dance again, and he can highly imitate.

Not only that, but he often found flaws in Gan Tiesheng's swordsmanship and improved them, and after the improvement, the swordsmanship was swayed again, which made Gan Tiesheng amazed again and again.

Coming out of the armory, Bu Yangying was ordered by the guard commander to take four buckets of freshly crushed stones to the lifting iron cage, responsible for laying the gravel onto the frozen walkway of the high wall, even if there was a white flash, it was still a simple and boring thing, but Bu Yangying was so happy.

If the weather is clear, standing on the high wall, it seems that half of the world is in full view, not to mention that the air here is always fresh and cold.

He can think quietly here.

And when he came up, he found that Uncle Hai and Qingqiu were also sick, and after Qingqiu came to the penal place when he was sick, he was accompanied by Uncle Hai, and the place where he came the most was the high wall at the end of the world.

"Haha, the fat boy of the Nalan family has also come to the penal colony. Qingqiu was sick and saw Bu Yangying coming over and said, "It seems that you get along very well, but don't expect his father Nalan Gangfeng to be grateful to Dade." "Obviously, Qingqiu was sick and stood on the high wall and saw what was happening below.

"His father is Nalan Gangfeng, I still know this," Bu Yangying put down the stone bucket and said, "What, you know?"

"Think about it, that kid must be the fattest guy in the Seven Kingdoms, but he's good for nothing," Qingqiu was sick and obviously saw Bu Yangying's displeasure, and continued, "Don't look at me like that, this is not what I said, his kid and his father said it." ”

"He's also an illegitimate child or an adopted son? Bu Yang was puzzled.

"Uncle Hai, you can explain it to this kid. Qingqiu was sick and threw the conversation to Uncle Hai.

"This is sad to say, the Nalan family is a vassal under the Murong family in the south, this fat boy is the son of the Nalan family, and he is the eldest son, and he is going to inherit his father's title," Uncle Hai said as he looked under the wall, and saw that Nalan Invincible below was carrying luggage to receive cold items.

His father, Nalan Gangfeng, named his son Invincible, but you can imagine how much he valued this kid and what expectations he placed on him. Uncle Hai shook his head lightly as he spoke.

"Then why did you come to the penal colony?" asked Bu Yangying.

"I can only guess this, only the fat boy knows, but his father Nalan Gangfeng is an extremely strong and courageous person, it is precisely this Nalan who is invincible, fat and cowardly, and it is not as he wishes, two years ago, I heard that the Nalan family has added another son, presumably the title of the Nalan family has a new heir, hey, and he, where else can he go?"

"This, that's ridiculous. Bu Yangying said.

"Ridiculous, boy, you've been in the cold wind of the north for a long time, you really should go around the Seven Kingdoms and try to see if you can encounter anything that isn't ridiculous?"

"Well, he also admits to himself that he is a wreck. Bu Yangying shook his head helplessly.

"It's so obvious," said Aoqiu, "as long as anyone who is not blind thinks so." ”

"What do you think?" Uncle Hai came to ask Bu Yangying.

"Most people would rather deny the facts than face the truth, there are too many heroic cowards in this world, but it really takes a little weird courage to be able to admit himself like him. Bu Yangying said.

Uncle Hai smiled but did not speak.

Bu Yangying stopped chatting with the two of them, and he came to the high wall to still have his work.

He carried the stone to the end of the high wall and began to lay the stone, his shoulder still hurting, so that the progress was slowed down, and his heart was desolate and sad.

I came to the penal colony because I couldn't find my parents, and Nalan who was born in a family was invincible, and my parents were there, so I actually came here.

Could it be that the bustling world of the Seven Kingdoms is colder than the cold wind at the end of the world?

After the four buckets of stones were paved, it was already a bleak sunset, and Uncle Hai and Qingqiu were sick and nowhere to be seen, so they must still be returning early.

Bu Yangying lingered on the high wall to watch the sunset, watching the setting sun stain the western sky a blood-red color, and it was not until night fell that he packed up the iron bucket, walked back to the iron cage, and walked back to the penal colony.

By the time he walked to the room with Hyaksam, dinner was almost over, and a group of penal brothers from the penal colony were gathering around the fire to drink hot wine and play dice.

His friends sat on benches under the west wall, laughing.

Small-eyed Mu Sheng is telling stories with a colorful voice, Mu Sheng once wandered with the opera troupe, good at imitating various sounds, listening to him tell stories, as if he was in the scene, he would imitate the official, and then become a pig guy, when he learned to be a tavern maid or a show girl in the boudoir, the high-pitched falsetto always made everyone laugh and tears, and he pretended to be a eunuch like the extremely exaggerated Lin Mang sect head.

Bu Yangying likes to listen to Mu Sheng's nonsense as much as everyone else, even though he has listened to it many times.

But this time, he didn't join the crowd.

Because in the corner of the east wall, far away from everyone, Nalan was invincible and sat alone, lonely.

Bu Yangying took his wolf and walked towards Nalan Invincible.

As Bu Yangying sat down across from him, Invincible was eating the last pork pie the cooks had prepared for dinner.

The fat boy saw Bai Flash, and his eyes were wide open. "Is this a wolf?"

"It's the Northern Stygian Snow Wolf," Bu Yangying said, "You can call him White Flash." ”

"This is a she-wolf," the fat boy glanced at Bai Flash, and said seriously, "It can grow to at least three meters long, I'm afraid it can be bigger, God, this wolf has disappeared for a thousand years, how did you get it?"

The fat boy couldn't help but reach out to touch Bai Shan, who stuck out his tongue and licked the oil stains on his fat fingers.

Bu Yangying was stunned, he had never seen Bai Shan treat a stranger so kindly.

The snow wolf of the Northern Stygian, who is known for his fierceness and keenness, shows extraordinary courtesy to this bloated, fat, timid and cowardly outcast who was even swept away by his parents.

Bu Yangying watched quietly, he understood that people would look away, but his wolves would not.

From this point of view, this Nalan Invincible must have something he has not been known about, in the stormy Seven Kingdoms, in the troubled times when the catastrophe is approaching, what kind of legend should this fat boy come out of?
