Zhao Gonglian practiced martial arts, initially forced by the sinister environment in his hometown Zhao Zhuang, and later started to compete with his younger brother, and then grew up and matured, clearly and firmly shouldered the epoch-making responsibility, knowing that as the founding emperor, he could not go on a horse and kill the enemy.

There are too many overt and hidden enemies who want his life, forcing him to have the ability to protect himself in case of emergency.

His grandmother, Ning, once taught him that people's hearts are unpredictable. It is better to rely on no one than on yourself. San Lang helps you, the elder brother, to lay down the country, and he will turn to what he is most interested in and wants to do. If you want to sit firmly in the country, obedient grandson, you have to be outstanding in both civil and military skills.

Practicing martial arts strengthens the body, and also greatly enhances physical strength, energy and self-confidence.

Zhao Gonglian tasted the sweetness, and he was also used to practicing martial arts every day, and he insisted on it until now.

The rangers rushed to the next side, the Hengshanzhai, and were also unconsciously approaching the death trap.

Hengshanzhai is a large border village, stuck in the valley where the only chariot and horse army in Hengshan can go south unimpeded, the walled city is more than ten meters high, built with stone cement, very strong, and has never been breached since the day of completion. There are more than 300 soldiers guarding here.

The leader of the Hengshan team is called Guo Danian, a nearly forty-year-old Qingzhou veteran, who speaks a little wooden, sometimes loves to be really sticky in small things, and has a nickname Guo Lao Sticky in the army, but he has been a soldier for too long and is familiar with the military, has the ability, is simple, and has good popularity, but he was not allowed to be appointed in the Qingzhou Army in the past.

After Zhao Gonglian took office, he vigorously rectified the border fortress, and needed to be familiar with the situation of the enemy and the enemy in the border fortress, and the backbone veterans with a sense of responsibility and leadership went to preside over the early warning and defense of the border fortress.

Guo Danian also lived up to expectations and was full of spirits. Motivated, it is reported that he has done a good job, and he has quite a reputation among his subordinates.

There are still a few days to go before the New Year, and there are still four border villages that are not close to each other that have not been inspected. Otherwise, Zhao Gonglian, the number one leader in the military and government, would not have been able to go back to arrange various tasks during the festival years ago. But the weather was getting colder and colder, and the snow covered the desolate wilderness of the frontier, and everywhere was a white expanse, with only the height undulating, and it was difficult to distinguish the path. Wind and snow also greatly limited the horse's speed.

The bad weather has made the already desolate border pass more and more desolate, and it is difficult to see people along the way. There are only the occasional birds that fly in the sky. There are only traces of wild beasts, birds, and finches passing by or foraging for food on the ground. In this climate, even the poorest and hungry people do not come out to fetch firewood. The officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and only Zhao Gonglian, who was ambitious and worked hard for the founding of the country, would work tirelessly. Other officials. Even if he is a famous general who loves the people, Zong Ze is afraid and unwilling to suffer this crime.

Zhao Gonglian's 100 rides this time, the road is always more than a row of parallel rides, Jiao Ting, who is old in the rivers and lakes, is the front, the Miao brothers Miao Zhenglong and Miao Tianhu are responsible for the break, Zhao Gonglian is naturally guarded in the middle of the team, there is a guard on the left Tong Gang, and on the right is Han Shizhong, who is specially arranged.

This is Zhao Gonglian's expression of trust and closeness to Han Shizhong, and it is also convenient to have more contact and more familiar conversations. Accelerate the promotion of understanding and affection.

Lightly armed Jane from the dangerous side, Zhao Gonglian knew very well that he did not have the terrifying force and self-protection ability of his younger brother. I can't be like my younger brother who can go around alone and take a huge responsibility, and I won't be brave enough to risk my own safety.

He is also a special home-made full cold-proof cotton armor and cotton helmet dressed as a soldier.

Armor, one mode for the whole team, light and strong. Warm and well-defended, even the neck has a vertical collar that covers it straight under the mouth. The weapons and equipment of the whole team are warhorses, and the appearance is almost the same. The visor of the visor was lowered, revealing only a pair of eyes.

The guards are too familiar with the Hou Ye. You can accurately identify it without looking at your appearance. It is too difficult for outsiders to determine which one of these people is Zhao Gonglian. If the enemy wants to place long-range weapons on the road, sneak attacks or ambush master assassinations, it will be difficult to determine accurate targets.

Hurrying as fast as possible, the snowflakes finally saw the majestic mountain card danger sandwiched between white and black and green.

Many of the guards breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of ghost weather is uncomfortable to travel. Staying vigilant all the way is also tiring. When you arrive at the level, you can relax your tense nerves, drink hot wine and eat a hot meal.

But suddenly, the deputy guard Chang Jiao Ting, who was leading the team to explore the way, raised his hand to signal the cheers to stop.

Disciplined, well-trained teams stagnated in response.

The guards guarded Hou Ye tightly, their eyes vigilantly surveyed the surroundings, and they had erected shields to prevent assassins from ambushing under the snow and stabbing with strong crossbows.

Jiao Ting circled the horse and said in a low voice: "Lord, the last general feels wrong. ”

The guard Chang Tonggang's eyes narrowed, the sword and shield rose slightly, and his whole body was in a state of outbreak at any time, and he was on high alert.

He was by Zhao Gonglian's side, and his first task was to block any attack on Hou Ye at the first time, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for this, even if it was a siege crossbow, he would pounce on it without hesitation to block it, and then he commanded the guards to respond to the battle and escort Hou Ye to quickly get out of the danger zone.

Han Shizhong subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife, frowning slightly, his expression seemed to be thinking, and he seemed to be sensing something.

Zhao Gonglian didn't squeak, and calmly only asked with his eyes.

Jiao Ting pointed to the road where the war horse came out, but he was still concise: "There is blood under the snow." There was more blood in this area. ”

Han Shizhong sighed and said: "There are a lot of blood stains, although it has been a few days and it has been hidden under the thick snow, it has been trampled by war horses and mixed with mud and snow, and it looks like black mud in the snow." There will be a sense of foreboding in the end. But I don't feel like there's any danger. ”

Jiao Ting relied on the vigilance, carefulness and experience cultivated by walking the rivers and lakes, and a high sense of responsibility, to detect the abnormality.

Han Shizhong made his judgment based on the premonition of crisis and experience formed on the battlefield for a long time.

This sense of crisis exists in many soldiers with strong survivability on the battlefield. This is an important guarantee and reason why too many brave soldiers have died on the battlefield, and the soldiers whose combat effectiveness may not be very high or even very poor, but they can survive many dangerous battles.

Jiao Ting and Han Shizhong have different experiences, but they both sense that something is wrong with their own advantages.

After the team, Miao Zhenglong came over and said, "Our brother didn't notice that there was danger here. ”

Tong Gang nodded slightly and said, "Young Master, I don't feel like there's a threat here." ”

The Miao brothers relied on the keen senses of beasts to make judgments. The two of them grew up in a small village in the mountains, and since they were children, they have been hunting with their fathers, and they have been fighting against wild beasts that are hidden and attack quickly in the deep mountains and forests for a long time, forming the ability to perceive danger keenly.

And Tong Gang judged it by his experience of being a guard for too long. (To be continued.) )
