The wind is far away, some people say goodbye and some people stand. The twilight is long, some people light up and some people go out. I often think of some people. It's not as sticky as I miss, it's not as hot as I want to be, it's just a thin memory. - "The Book of the First Emperor of Chu"

A layer of mist hung in the air over the hundreds of miles of wasteland, faintly visible to the eye, and farther away was hidden in an endless white.

Xiang Zhuang's white clothes floated in the early morning breeze, and the hem of the clothes gently floated left and right with the wind.

He was a light sleeper, and he had already opened his eyes when the Black Riders were packing their bags at the very beginning.

After a brief freshening up, he stood here motionless and looked at the figure of the black knights, and he found something very interesting.

Every move of this black riding team is in accordance with a kind of rules and regulations, one board and one glance, and no one has crossed the invisible bottom line.

Therefore, everyone has their own responsibilities, acts quickly, and there will be no mistakes, but in the eyes of others, no one knows what he is thinking, maybe he is simply looking at it in a daze.

The pure black battle flag slammed into the air, and the white wolf embroidered on the flag seemed to have regained its life, looking up to the sky and roaring, as if it was about to get out of the flag in the next moment, and the inky black crow was also spreading its wings and volleying in the air, soaring above the white wolf's head, like a guard.

A black cavalry warrior raised his head and blew the horn, and under the sound of a desolate and reckless horn, the other black cavalry warriors quickly organized a formation under the leadership of the extremely burly deputy commander of the black cavalry.

When the commander of the black horse, who was alone in front, heard the sound of the horn, he glanced back at the formation that had been organized, turned around his horse, and with a sharp lift of the reins, he was already running towards the formation of the black horsemen who were about to leap out.

When the black cavalry commander rode past Xiang Zhuang's side, he didn't slow down at all, but just held his head high, and the two seemed to be strangers at all, and they didn't even look at each other.

"This person really doesn't have a little human touch, Mr. Xiang, you also saved his life, he didn't say anything at all, why didn't he even say goodbye when it came to separation!"

Seeing those figures disappear in the vast white fog from a distance, Wu Shisan slowly slipped to Xiang Zhuang's side, his tone was full of worthlessness and complaints about Xiang Zhuang, but Xiang Zhuang chuckled and shook his head.

"They are all people who are running on this road of life and death, who hasn't had an accident yet, he is a cold person, I know what he means, he just doesn't know how to say goodbye to me, and if he doesn't say anything else, he wants to meet again one day."

Wu Shisan, who was standing sideways, shrank back, sneezed, rubbed his nose and said inquiringly.

"Mr. Xiang, these wolf-like military masters, we won't meet again on the way forward, right?"

Xiang Zhuang turned his head sideways and picked up the bamboo box again, and when he heard Wu Shisan's question, his eyes wandered, and he said with emotion in an inexplicable tone.

"No, if I'm not mistaken, we will meet more and more armies, whether they are wild armies or princes' armies or private armies kept by the great families."

Xiang Zhuang saw the puzzled face and explained in a low voice, "Don't you see the hooves of those horses, they are all wrapped." ”

Before Wu Shisan could open his mouth to ask why the horse's hooves were wrapped up and they would meet again on the road ahead, a figure of riding a horse suddenly rushed out of the white mist in front of him, and the figure was already whistling like the wind.

The black cavalry commander slammed the reins on the horse, the war horse under the crotch raised his head high and neighed, the black cavalry commander and Xiang Zhuang looked at each other deeply, and the black cavalry commander endured the pain in his chest and bent down slightly: "I also want to ask for Mr.'s name, so that I can repay Mr. in the future." ”

"Xiang Zhuang, Wuyuan people's family, living in no fixed place, is on the way to travel, the general doesn't have to say anything to repay, who can avoid all the accidents when he goes out, it is his duty to help when the road is uneven." Xiang Zhuang smiled softly, but his eyes were extremely calm.

"But the name doesn't matter, we'll meet again."

The Black Cavalry Commander sat on his horse, his face solemn, his eyes still as bright as usual, and he nodded calmly.

"It's inconvenient to tell my real name to Sir, but when I was a child, the head of my family valued me and gave me his surname, and I was the eldest, so Sir can call me Chu Da.

But as Mr. said, the name doesn't matter. ”

I don't know if Wu 13 looked up at his eyes or was in a trance, he actually saw a warm smile on that perennial frozen face, and there was also reverence in it, that was when the Black Horse Commander mentioned his leader and was given his surname.

"But here Chu Da has another reminder, whether you listen to it or not, it depends on Mr.

If you want to live, don't go any further, turn around and go back, there will be a Shura field in front of you, and the people who enter it will probably never come out alive. ”

Wu Shisan's face was full of shock when he heard this, and Xiang Zhuang on the side fell into contemplation before he could speak, Wu Shisan hurriedly asked, "How do you explain this sentence of the military master, and I hope that the military master can give advice without hesitation, so as to solve the confusion in the villain's heart!" ”

"You just have to remember to go back the way you came, don't worry so much!" , Chu Da, who was on the horse, said a word to Wu Shisan coldly, and then turned his head to say to the silent Xiang Zhuang.

"I know that Mr. has some means to act unscrupulously, but the road ahead is not as simple as Mr. thinks, that is, if a grandmaster like me breaks in rashly alone, I am afraid that there will be death and no life."

"That's no longer a place where you can pass unimpeded because you are powerless, sir, Chu Da is all he says, if I don't die one day, we will see you again, Chu Da will invite Mr. to drink the good wine of my hometown!"

Chu Da's face was calm, and after saying this sentence with a slight arch of his hand, he suddenly turned the horse's head, grabbed the horse's belly, and rode away quickly, and disappeared into the vast fog in the sky after a while.

Wu Shisantie sighed deeply with a blue face, touched the line on his waist, and felt that the wind in the morning was extremely cold.

Xiang Zhuang was just stunned for a long time, and after a while, he came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled lightly, and continued to turn back to pack his bamboo box, but there was still a little solemnity in his eyes.

I thought that I had already had the worst guess in my heart about the situation in the Imperial Capital Sanfu and the Huanghuang Imperial Capital, but the words of which black cavalry commander Chu Da just now made him a little more worried about where he was going.

Even such an elite iron cavalry is uncertain about the future of the road ahead, and has no plan to survive, which shows the number of participating forces, the strength of the troops, and the complexity of the situation.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the 800-year-old Guozuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to be buried today, Xiang Zhuang smiled bitterly, carried the bamboo box, and looked at the hundreds of miles of wasteland in the distance, as if his eyes wanted to penetrate the vast wasteland and the fog that covered the sky, and looked at the grand imperial capital where the voices were boiling.

"It's good to be buried, this troubled world has come, otherwise where will I use this dragon slaying book, hahaha, Shura Field, I just want to break into this Shura Field, where is life in the world is not Shura Field!"

Xiang Zhuang's thoughts gradually became clearer, but he didn't think about it so much, but his interest was even higher, the divine meaning in his eyes was shining, and he put a bamboo box on his backhand, and he was about to step forward.

"Sir, sir, you wait for me, the villain will carry a bamboo box for you, don't be tired!"

Wu Shisan, who was on the side, listened to the words of the black cavalry commander Chu Da and was still hesitating whether to go any further, although his goods could not reach the imperial capital and could only be bought at a loss, but it was better to throw his life away in a foreign land.

But I really can't let go of my own goods, that is, I bought my own property to buy a batch of fresh goods in Wanzhou, if I run back like this, it won't be a bamboo basket to draw water!

When the time comes, how do the people in my hometown think of me, Wu Shisan's thoughts flew in just a few breaths, and he thought about so many thoughts, and his eyes turned around, but he never thought of a perfect solution.

Wu Shisan was hesitating here, but he didn't notice that Xiang Zhuang on the side had already strode forward, and then he came back to his senses and made the most bold decision he had ever made, and hurriedly shouted, "Sir, wait for Thirteen!" ”

"Why are you following me, aren't you a businessman?"

"Oh, where is the gentleman saying at this time, the villain is willing to serve the gentleman!"

"I don't need someone to serve!"

"Mr. has learned a lot of profound, exquisite skills, thirteen dare not think much, only wish to be able to serve Mr., to be a tea boy under Mr.! Please take it in, sir! ”

"There is no need for a tea boy!"

"Sir, why is that?"

"You're drinking too much tea!"

Wu Shisan made a bitter face, followed behind Xiang Zhuang, and said through gritted teeth.

"Sir, since you said so, the villain will drink less in the future!"

"Don't!"

"Why is this, sir, the villain is full of sincerity, the villain is willing to offer all the goods of the villain with both hands, and only ask the gentleman to accept me as a boy!"

"Don't, you're too cowardly!" , Xiang Zhuang said teasing with a smile.

"Sir, sir, you go slowly, villains can be bold, don't worry, sir......"

The two of them slowly disappeared in the vast white mist, only there were some residual echoes in the wind that the two walked through.

This time, I don't know what the road ahead is, I only know that some people laugh and some people must cry.

Hanzhou, the southern border of Shuofeng Plain.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, there is only a happy growth of pasture grass and the edge of the azure sky.

A burly old man sat between the long grass and the blue sky, looking into the distance.

The fiery red curly-haired lion horse is quietly gnawing on the tender green grass behind him, its name is "Fire Burning Cloud", and it is a famous war horse in Hanliang and Liangzhou.

Huoyun is very anxious now, it is a war horse, although it is a little old like its master, but the hot blood rushing all over the body of the war horse makes it yearn for galloping infinitely, yearning for the howling wind, and also longing for the invincible warrior wielding the snow knife on its back when galloping.

But it had been standing silently on the Shuofeng Plains for an afternoon with its master, and it preferred this endless Shuofeng Plain to the stables in the deep palace, so it hissed high and snorted.

The old man under the horse's neck looked into the distance, as if he had seen through the edge of azure, through the towering Tongyun Mountain, and through the end of the grassland.

At the end of the grassland is the sea, the Tiantuo Strait, and after the sea is the land, the land is full of brown and yellow barren soil, and the sky above the soil is always faint and high.

A little farther away there was the Hidden Continent, a distant Hidden Continent, a place that worried and worried him.

His only son is there at the moment, fighting for it.

"The summer breeze is up, you say, will Azule come back when the autumn wind rises?"

The old man stroked the fiery cloud that came to his face, this was the war horse that had accompanied him in battle all his life.

Someone approached from afar, making a slight noise, and Huoyun glanced at it vigilantly, and hissed lowly.

The black iron armor perfectly enveloped every inch of flesh and blood on the warrior's body, leaking only a pair of eyes.

The person who came from afar gradually changed from a small black dot between heaven and earth into a slender black figure in front of the old man, his face armor covered his face, leaving only a pair of bright and surprising eyes, he leaned down and bowed, waiting for the old man's summons.

The old man didn't get up, and the warrior wrapped in iron armor didn't speak, he just lay quietly on the ground like a worm and waited for the old man's edict in front of him.

"Isn't it a good road? I heard that some people in Youzhou City deliberately blocked the coastline of Youzhou in order to deal with him? ”

The old man quietly touched the head of the burning cloud, and the soft fur of his palms itched secretly.

The old man had the bulging muscles typical of a prairie child, and his long curled brown hair was carefully tied back at the back of his head, but his tone of voice at this time was particularly gentle.

The old man's current mildness has also made later historians deeply doubt what role he played in the bloody battle of Hanzhou, and in the absurd romance, he is even considered to be a very benevolent monarch.

Only the armor soldiers who fought with him in the battle known as the "Blood of Hanzhou" would understand what kind of power was contained in this now old body, and what a terrible thing it was to become his enemy.

"Yes, there are several families united in Youzhou and sent troops to block the coastline in case we lead our troops to land on Youzhou and become reinforcements for the prince!"

The warrior who was prostrate on the ground said calmly, "The massacre of the prince in front of the gate of Liuyue City caused some people in the city to panic, so much so that they united to purge the prince first."

"Cleaning? United? The smile on the old man's lips was a little strange.

"How many people arrived?"

"There are three thousand crow columns that have arrived in Liuyue City, but the prince did not keep them more, but sent them all out of the city, as if they went to the land of the imperial capital Sanfu, and the other subordinates of the prince did not dare to do more investigation!"

"Really?" The old man whispered, the light in his eyes like the stars in the sky, "It seems that he is sure to face these small alliances in the city?" ”

"Presumably, the son of the world is already sure in his chest." The warrior stood up after seeing the old man's signal, "Before I left, the prince of the world had already led his command of Bai Ma Yi to repel the offenses of those people in the city several times, presumably the prince was waiting for an opportunity. ”

"Hahaha, I'm waiting for an opportunity, what does the Youzhou Wu family say?"

The old man patted the burning horse's head, also stood up, turned his head and asked, his tone a little unkind.

"The Wu family sent someone to bring your will, but they seem to be swaying from side to side, and the intentions of the head of the Wu family don't seem to be clear."

The iron-clad warrior bowed his head and reported what the old man had explained.

"Hmph, the intention of the bullshit is unknown, they just don't want to bet in advance, how can they openly team up before the situation is unknown!" , The old man snorted coldly, "Tell them, if you don't stand in line now, you won't need a team in the future!" ”

The old man rode on the Burning Cloud with the support of the warrior, and turned his head to look at the boundless Shuofeng Plain, "By the way, send someone to tell Azule that if you don't arrive at Shuofeng Plain before the beginning of autumn, I will let Tiefutu go to sea, and you let him decide for himself." Since he wants to break through, then arrange for someone to tell them that the people of the Eastern Continent are in Youzhou! ”

"So? Isn't it...... At risk? ”

"It's okay, there's an old ghost following him."

"That's down!"

The old man nodded slightly, signaling for the warrior wrapped in iron armor to leave, and then took out an arrow from his waist and shot straight into the air.

In less than a few breaths, it seemed that the entire land of Shuofeng Plain was shaken, and hundreds of black-armored iron horses rushed towards the old man under the control of Shuofeng cavalry.

At this time, the figure of the warrior had just disappeared into the horizon. The old man rode on his horse without looking back, and slowly grasped the hilt of the knife on his horseback.

The handle of his sword was hidden in the saddle, and only the worn handle peeked out of the old leather, which his great clan had made for him, and he was not willing to change it, and now he could only gently caress the traces of the past.

The Iron Horse Cavalry swept across the Shuofeng Plain like a whirlwind, and hundreds of fierce horses surrounded the old man and stopped for a hundred paces.

The burly and lean warriors on the back of the iron horse roared and reined in the horses, their jet-black armor decorated with leopard fur and iron mirrors with the motif of a white wolf's head on their chests.

It was Shuofeng's most elite guard, the Feather Forest Iron Guard.

"Maharaja!" The knight at the head of the knight rolled his saddle and dismounted when he was still a hundred paces, and half-knelt at the feet of the old man according to the etiquette of the steppe, with a very respectful expression.

"Let's go, go back to the city!"

The old man shook the reins, and the fiery cloud slowly walked to the front of the iron horses, and the horses were also afraid of the majesty of the horse king, and none of the horses dared to go beyond its head.

The old man suddenly let out a high-pitched long song, and the fiery clouds were extremely excited in his roar, as if he had returned to the days when he had galloped on the grassland, and the old man rode his horse and galloped, and behind him was the endless azure.
