He stretched out his hand and picked up the leaf, put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully for a moment, and said, "When was the last time His Majesty summoned you?" ”

"Yes...... It's a month ago. Liu Xuan thought for a while and replied, "Your Majesty asked me about the arrangements for the garrison in Yanjing. ”

Ding Rongyi pondered for a while, dropped the fallen leaves, and stood in front of the window with his hands in front of him, the autumn wind swept outside, and the fallen leaves were like gold all over the ground. ”

"What do you mean......"

"If the fox is not removed, the country will not exist!"

The roads around Gyeonggi are intricately interspersed with fertile fields, the main road has always been full of people, and many of the nearby dirt roads are overgrown with weeds and have been abandoned for many years.

On a field on the side of the road, an old farmer wiped off a drop of sweat from the corner of his forehead, although it was early autumn, the day was still scorching, he glanced into the distance, a few vague shadows danced at the end of the road, and the black shadows stirred up bursts of smoke and dust.

The shadows were getting closer and closer, and the shouts of the young men were faintly audible, and the oxen plowing the fields seemed to be frightened by something, and flicked their heads in annoyance to try to get out of the halters.

The dust was like a curtain, and the farmer saw what it was.

They were knights in armor, with their horses with flying manes and clouds of smoke thrown backwards between their hooves. The mighty armor was a little heavy, and when I got closer, I saw that under the armor were young men who had not yet grown up, and they laughed at each other and instigated the war horses under their crotches, and the horses sometimes danced the magnificent dance steps of the court knights, and sometimes they galloped like wild horses with their manes.

The young knight passed by on horseback, and the leader leaned down in the saddle and asked, "Uncle, how far is it to Yanjing?" ”

"If you go back to the little general, you are already in Gyeonggi," replied the old farmer, bowing and pointing to the front of the dirt road, "and you will see the city wall fifty miles further here." ”

The young man on the horse smiled and thanked him, turned his head and shouted: "Did you hear it, it's coming, work hard!" ”

The surrounding teenagers immediately laughed and said, "Akang, are you in such a hurry to see the young general?" ”

The young man from before turned red, shook his horsewhip and said angrily: "What nonsense? This is an order from the General and His Majesty! ”

"Yes, the General's order!" Several teenagers learned his words in a teasing tone, and one bumped the one next to him with his elbow, pretending to ask in a low voice: "Who did Ah Kang say he wanted to marry when he was a child?" ”

The one was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Ah, I vaguely remember saying it to the young general, it's nothing, young and ignorant." ”

"Yes, yes, young and ignorant!" The teenagers laughed, and the teenager blushed and defended urgently: "Then, that was when I was a child, when I was ignorant......"

The teenagers joked with each other and ran away laughing, and the war horses under their crotches snorted happily.

Ah Kang smiled at the old farmer, always holding the reins in his hand, and shouted violently, and the war horse chased after him.

The sky was cloudy and rainy, and in the Damang camp outside Yanjing, there was a young man standing in the open space. Most of them were dressed in armor, and their heroic faces were sometimes not angry, and they were talking in low voices.

"How can you stand with these fielders? Lost our identity. The young man of Qi sneered.

"Who do you say? Qi Yu! Not to be outdone, the people on the side glared and scolded.

The princes of Dayan are located in the frontier on all sides, the folk customs, the rivers and lakes and seas are different, each has its own characteristics, the folk is known as "Zhongshan Meiji Wu Yue Jian, Qi Chu Bing Gexi Qin blood" said, although the same is for the service of the Dayan royal family, but there is still a deep mutual contempt between the princes, the ancestors of Qi fell into the grass earlier, and then followed the Taizu Emperor to charge into battle, the Jin State has always believed in the god of the shrine, and the country takes agriculture as the first major cause, so the outside world often ridicules the Qi people as "Qi Yu", and ridicules the Jin people as "Tian Sheweng".

The two countries of Qi and Jin are adjacent to each other, and the grievances are quite deep, these hot-blooded young men scolded and red-eyed, and the two sides got closer and closer, and they were about to face each other with swords.

At this moment, although the sound of the "silverfish" iron boots stomping on the ground was not loud, it was very clear to the ears of everyone present.

A team of samurai dressed in dark iron heavy armor walked into the school field silently, obviously a teenager of thirteen or fourteen, but the momentum was like a mountain, and everyone present couldn't help but silence.

In the middle of the night, someone noticed the tiger swallow carved in relief on their shoulder armor, and exclaimed: "It's the Chu people!" ”

"Chu Manzi ......"

"No wonder, it turned out to be a Chu man."

The group of young men in armor looked like knives and swept over coldly, and the crowd of whisperers avoided their sight, and the Qi Jin teenagers who had quarreled before also glared at each other and pushed each other away.

Chu State, the only kingdom with a different surname in Great Yan, is located on the southwest border, nominally a town guard, in fact, it has grown into the "Southwest Emperor", when the Yan Emperor is strong, they bow down to the vassals, and when the royal family is weak, they will take advantage of the troubled times, constantly expand the territory, absorb the population, and pay special attention to military training in peacetime, so although the Chu State has few horses and less steel, it still has one of the strongest soldiers in the world, "trapped in the camp".

The group of young people from the Chu State snorted coldly, and found a place away from the other princes and teenagers next to the school field and sat down, occasionally sweeping their eyes, and they were full of disdain.

It didn't take long for the silence to be broken again, and the rumbling of horses' hooves outside the school yard came from far and near, a burst of shouts, and a few footsteps.

Everyone looked up and saw several young figures at the door, they seemed to have just ridden all the way, their clothes and cheeks were covered with dust, everyone was stunned, and then laughed.

Not for anything else, just laughing at their clothes.

Several pieces of animal skins were nailed with iron armor pieces, and they were connected with hemp rope to form extremely simple leather armor, which was in stark contrast to the iron armor in the school field, especially the young man of Chu State just now.

A handsome young man led by him walked a few steps, and the leather armor on his body flickered, and he actually broke a hemp rope, and half of the leather armor hung down, and the young man of the vassal kingdom laughed even more happily.

A young man in the leader of the Chu State squinted his eyes, and found the cloud pattern and the Xuanniao pattern on those pairs of leather armor, knowing it in his heart, he heard a low laugh of "snort" from his own team, turned his head and glanced at the person fiercely, and nodded to the young man in leather armor with a smile.

But he was the only one who showed his kindness, and the harsh ridicule around him still lasted for a long time, and several leather-armored young men's faces turned red, and they took a step to make a move, but they were stopped by the handsome young man.

"What did the general tell when he came?" He scolded under his breath.

"Akang! Listen! They're laughing at us! Someone retorted.

Ah Kang silently scanned the audience, the expression on his young and immature face became more and more solemn, "We didn't do anything wrong, let them laugh." ”

The teenagers still wanted to refute, Ah Kang glanced at him coldly, there was no usual gentleness at all, although the young man was unwilling, he could only close his mouth, his eyes were firmly fixed on the laughing man, his eyes were like a wolf.

"What are you afraid of, one day, I will make them never laugh again." He whispered.

"Dang!" The sound of the clash of gold and iron rang out piercingly, drowning out all laughter, and the young man of Chu State held two stainless steel long swords in his hands, and the blades shook incessantly.

The teenagers were provoked by him again and again, and their hearts were namelessly on fire, and several of them were already in a hurry, and the weapons on their waists were unsheathed.

The ironclad teenagers of Chu State did not show weakness, and for a while, the swords and swords in the school field lit up.

Only the boy who had interrupted everyone with his sword was indifferent, he dropped the two swords, brushed aside all the boys, and walked over to Akon.

"I am Douchi, and the prince of Chu is with me." He laughed, as if to make a gesture of favor to Akang.

"Nan Yunkang, the black-scaled riding boy is all over."

"Blackscale Rider?" Dou Chi wondered.

Each vassal state relied on its own financial resources to accumulate private soldiers, and some of them were better than Yanjing Yanlingwei, such as the "trapped camp" of Chu State, which was famous for its fierce combat and charging into battle.

But he had never heard the name of the Black Scale Rider, could it be that the remote place of Yunhuang also raised elite soldiers?

"Forgive me for being so lonely." He apologized.

"It's okay," Nan Yunkang just smiled and shook his head in the face of his puzzled gaze, his gaze firm, "One day, the whole world will know." ”

A fluttering sentence didn't make many ripples in Dou Chi's heart at that time. It wasn't until more than ten years later, when he stood on the battlefield, and the black torrent in the distance encompassed the heavens and the earth like an angry wave, he looked directly at the face of the young general who was charging at the front, and his memory suddenly began to churn, many years ago, Nanyun Kang's immature but extremely firm face appeared in front of him one after another.

Someday, the whole world will know.

His words were fulfilled by one person more than ten years later.

The name of the black scale rider is known all over the world.

At this time, the person who said that sentence for the first time had his body firmly locked in the coffin, and his chest was like a forest of arrows.
