When I was busy, I didn't know that it was late, and I felt hungry when I held the lamp.

After Qin Kangyi finished dealing with the day's affairs, he washed his face with the water sent by his own soldiers, and leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed. I took off my armor, took off my military boots, and searched back and forth in my mind like the mountain road of Giant Elephant Mountain, where there were still omissions. The meal is placed on the table, a simple meal and a dish, and the soldiers all know Qin Kangyi's habits, if there is no special day, what the sergeant eats, General Qin will eat.

"When will Mr. Huo arrive?" Qin Kangyi asked suddenly.

"When the sun went down, Mr. Huo came once, and when he saw that you and the generals were busy, he went to go around the Huokou River, and according to your instructions, the two brothers followed him every step of the way. I should go back to the hospital at this point, or the general will go and invite Mr. Huo over now." The soldier was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied.

Qin Kangyi hummed lightly, nodded, and still didn't open his eyes.

"I'd better go by myself, this Mr. Huo, it's not simple."

When the soldiers were about to go out, they heard Qin Kangyi's voice.

Time goes back to the twenty-two of last month.

The weather in Hump Pass was not as warm as it was at this time, and most of the soldiers patrolling the pass were wearing big hats and covering their faces.

It was also sunset, and a scholar came to the pass, with a green shirt and a simple face, covered with dust and frost, and it seemed that he had rushed a lot of roads, and he was about to hump the guards of the pass when he opened his mouth.

In troubled times, who has the least?

The least number of readers.

In the years of melee, life is the biggest, eating is second, this is the most simple truth, except for the rich family of the minister, who has the leisure to study.

Can reading a book fight hunger? Can reading a book ensure that you don't get killed while fleeing the famine?

", everyone has to see the general, and the general must not be annoyed to death every day. Look at your body, but think of this hump pass as a soldier to eat? Can you pinch a chicken to death? ”。 The soldier on duty was coarse, holding the spear in his hand and making a gesture to hurry.

The Hump Pass guard thought that this scholar was desperate to join the army, and there were more young people who joined the army every day, but it was rare for scholars in their forties to join the army.

"Please ask this military master to give this a bow and hand this to the general, and the general will meet him." The scholar was not in a hurry or annoyed, and handed over a small sign engraved with "Anlan" engraved on the front and "Walker" engraved on the back.

The guards are also illiterate, and they will be suspicious when they take the sign. The two looked at each other, and one of them said, "Then you wait, I'll report to the general."

A moment later, the scholar came to Qin Kangyi's lobby.

"Anlan is high, why did you come to see the general?" Qin Kangyi played with the small sign in his hand, "You must know that in the barracks, knowledge is not worthy of thousands of soldiers."

"Huo Dingzhi, a walker, has seen the general." The scholar's voice was clear, neither humble nor arrogant, and he bowed slightly. "There are two things I want to discuss with the general."

"Anlan Academy is hidden in the fog, not asking about the world, more than 6,000 miles away from the Hump Pass, there are actually two things to find the general? Come! "Whether it's a general or a soldier, it seems that he is born to be a scholar and a scholar. Who let the saying "Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable to explain" has been passed down through the ages. Qin Kangyi had heard of this Anlan Academy, but it was far away from Fengguo, so he didn't take it to heart, and there was no respect in his words.

"This first thing is that there will be a battle between the Hump Pass and the war in the near future. Dingzhi felt that the general was still well prepared. In the troubled times, life and death are common, but the Daye Dynasty is too angry, the soldiers are pointed, there are few birds and beasts, and the first three passes and the last three passes of the hump joint system, once the pass is broken, it is still the people who suffer. Although Anlan Academy doesn't care about the world, it can't bear the wild spirit of Qianliwo behind the Hump Pass. ”

"This second piece is related to the general, and he is determined to be brave and wants to borrow the chief's sword for three years." Huo Dingzhi was not in a hurry, and he told it eloquently.

"Bold!" Qin Kangyi glared angrily, slapped the table in front of him, the teapot and teacup jumped to the ground, and the tea splashed Huo Ding's body.

"Zhen'an has seven dangerous passes, the road is strong, and the birds are difficult to cross. There are 100,000 soldiers, and they will be like stars, how can the Daye Army fight. As for this twisted chieftain treasure knife, it is cast by the cold iron of the East China Sea, cut gold and jade, and does not get stained by drinking blood, witnessing the ancestors of my Qin family assisting the emperor to establish immortal feats. Who gave you the guts to make you so presumptuous here, should you really be reluctant to kill you? At the end of the words, Qin Kangyi had already lifted his hem, drew the knife in his hand, and was furious. The soldiers in front of the hall moved when they heard the sound, and surrounded Huo Dingzhi with guns, just waiting for the general's order to tie this scholar of unknown origin into dozens of transparent holes.

"The general Hugh was angry, and he did not dare to speak falsely. Dingyi came by the way, on the Daye Qingyuan Mountain, which is more than 200 miles away from here, I saw the military tents next to the Whip Lake, and there were no less than 10,000 military stoves. According to them, all hot spring pastures where horses can be grazed are not allowed to graze herds. Dare to ask the general, the Daye Dynasty has been fighting against the Great Mu Dynasty on the northern front for more than ten years, but this time the army is hoarded here, if it is not for the plot of Dafeng and the country, what is the intention? ”

"As for the borrowing of the sword, it is indeed presumptuous. Dingzhiya traveled for half a life, only to see a pleasing seedling who wanted to be accepted as a disciple, this child is young, but the helpless physique is the vein of Jiuyang, if you don't use cold weapons to help suppress it, the future martial arts will be a dead-end road. In the past few decades, I have never done anything wrong, and I can't imagine that in the end, I will have to be selfish, I want to tell the general about the march of Daye, I want to make a good fate, borrow the treasure knife for three years, and set it to be guaranteed in the name of the walker, and when the three years come, the things will be returned to the original owner, and I hope the general will agree. Although Huo Dingzhi's face did not change, it seemed that he was embarrassed to say this.

"Daye is gathering heavy troops in the area of Horse Whip Lake?" Qin Kangyi couldn't care about being angry for the time being, and seemed unwilling to believe Huo Dingzhi's words.

Zhen'an Road borders with Daye, from Zhen'an Road into Daye, the terrain gradually changes from mountains to wasteland, more than 100 miles ahead is a vast uninhabited area, Whip Lake is backed by several mountain ranges, blocking the humid climate from west to east, plus all over the year-round inexhaustible hot springs, the climate is warm, the grassland is evergreen, it is a rare excellent pasture in Daye.

According to convention, the closest Elephant Trunk Pass scout to Daye is no more than to sneak to the edge of the uninhabited wasteland, without the leadership of the locals, throwing corpses in the wilderness is an inevitable outcome.

The wasteland uninhabited area is the natural military demarcation line between Daye and Dafeng, therefore, for many years, a small group of repulsors and cavalry have tested each other, and there has been no large-scale conflict, and Daye's main combat direction is located in the north of Damu, all want to occupy the two states sandwiched in the middle, with strong strength, back and forth for decades, each other has won and lost.

Qin Kangyi was skeptical, but he also knew that Anlan College was named after the Big Dipper, and there were seven departments in one hospital, corresponding to practice, learning, agriculture, art, medicine, technology, and martial arts, each with its own strengths. Therefore, countries have a more or less high regard for Anlan College. The travelers of this department mainly spread the skills studied by Anlan College in the world, distinguish the false and retain the true, remove the chaff and keep the essence, and constantly calibrate the research direction of each department, which is famous for his sincerity and never lies. According to Huo Dingzhi's words, Daye's gathering of heavy troops at Whip Lake can only be aimed at Dafeng.

"If the general does not believe it, he will bind himself to this, after the beginning of spring, the weather will become warmer, and if Daye starts a war, it will be within a month. If the misfortune is condemned, I ask the general to have mercy on my disciple and lend the sword for three years, and I will be grateful." Huo Dingzhi seemed to be determined to borrow a knife.

"Then please ask Mr. to stay for a few days, so that I can hump my head to discuss the knowledge of Anlan Academy." After all, Qin Kangyi is a general who controls hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he was born in Jiangmen, his mind is not as impulsive as he shows, he neither agrees nor refuses, and arranges Huo Dingzhi in the small courtyard on the south side of the pass, and tells a few soldiers to follow closely every inch. Walkers have always known everything and said everything, and they have some real skills, in case this war starts, it is better to ask for advice nearby.

Huo Dingzhi settled down on this hump, arranged three meals a day, read books in the courtyard peacefully, played the piano and made tea in his spare time, and planted some vegetables and fruits next to the courtyard, asked the soldiers who were watching some old tents, cut and surrounded two square vegetable and fruit fields, dug two deep ditches horizontally and vertically in the ground, and burned them for two hours with dry branches and charcoal chips every day.

Huo Dingzhi has nothing to do recently, and every time he thinks about the black boy who refuses to recognize himself as a master, he pulls the corners of his mouth knowingly.

"I, Huo Dingzhi, have been standing alone for half my life, and the disciples I fancy can't run if I want to." Thinking of the black boy who is far away in Jingguo, Huo Dingzhi's heart that has been cultivated for decades still inevitably has the heart to win.
