The wind is soothing, the tide rises, and the world is unpredictable.

In the blink of an eye, it has been eight years and Jingtai has been twenty-nine years.

The ancient and vast land of Zhongzhou is full of smoke. Eight years ago, the Yongqi Yan and Song Dynasty fought in the Dynasty, which took two full years but both were defeated, so the matter of the princes of Hebei to attack Chu was repeatedly put on hold. Six years ago, Southern Chu fought a battle on the bank of the river, defeated the 28 coalition forces of Jiangbei, and destroyed Cao, Teng, and Gao in one fell swoop with the momentum of swallowing the river, and annexed the three cities of Zheng, but the princes of Jiangbei were united and resisted to the north of Southern Chu. Southern Chu was weak in the north, and turned west into the land of Bacheng, wanting to seize Bacheng to consolidate the rear.

To this day, Dayong and Qiang Qi will break out local wars from time to time because of the tragic battle six years ago. And Yan Guo also committed crimes because of Beidi's performance, Yan Jun was furious, and sent three armies north to chase Di people to the source of the glacier, casting a human tragedy of blood and water melting. As for the Song State, since the Battle of Daiguo, the national strength has been getting weaker and weaker, not only the Xirong people who are far away from the west of the Sunset Mountain Range have taken the opportunity to make a comeback, but even the subordinate countries have changed their flags one after another, and the Song Marquis is very busy.

Big countries are in chaos, not to mention small countries, in just eight years, nearly 100 countries have been destroyed, all the princes of the world today you cut me, tomorrow I will beat you, chaos into a pot of porridge, what's more, was actually killed by their own vassals, and the vassals actually risked the world's greatness, replaced the monarch and called the marquis, although this move provoked the anger of the world, Yonggong personally put on armor and went out to fight, destroy his country, take his head, in order to tell the princes of the world, but the people's hearts have been in turmoil. You know, for hundreds of years, the following crimes have happened occasionally, but there are few who dare to replace them.

It is precisely that the wind and clouds are rising, Jiao has turned into a dragon, and there are many heroic characters.

However, although the world is chaotic, there will eventually be a secluded place, and Yanjing is one of them.

It is another year of pear blossom season, the long pear blossoms quietly bloom all over the streets and alleys of Yanjing, under the gaze of the huge and eternal Xuanyao, the soldiers who returned triumphantly wore cold armor, carried long swords, chanted war songs loudly, and calmly advanced into this ancient city.

"Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are with the Son? How can it be said that he has no clothes, and he has the same enmity with the son? How can he say that he has no clothes, and fights with his son? Tonight and night, the pillow knife is in the throat. Tonight, the green mound is long. Tonight and night, give me up to take revenge. And come back, sleep in the ...... tree"

The high and desolate war song was accompanied by the snow pear flowers floating wantonly in the sky, and every Yan people who heard the war song felt their blood surging, and they couldn't help but push open the door, open the window, and sing loudly.

Yes, the Yan people are not as warlike as the world has rumored, and they are afraid of death, but they are never afraid of war. They love the land, every inch of land is worth fighting, just like the pear tree they like, the roots are deeply rooted in the earth of blood and water, but the flowers are white and flawless. And Yanjing School Palace is the most dazzling flower blooming in the land of Yanjing, it is built in the center of Yanjing City, the shape is just like a Sydney flower, there are five petals of flowers and leaves, respectively representing the Tao, Confucianism, law, soldiers, Yin and Yang five schools, of course, the school palace is not only these five schools, Mo family, famous family, farmer, doctor everything.

According to the rules, whether they go out with armor or return triumphantly, the soldiers will travel around the circular Yanjing Palace, and today is no exception.

The great general Yan stood proudly on the chariot, his face was like bronze, he had been through the vicissitudes of time, but his eyes were as cold as iron, just like the iron armor on his body, the bird's head on his shoulder guard had disappeared, his left chest was deeply sunken, and his right chest was densely covered with traces of swords and arrows.

Behind Yan Qie's were three hundred and sixty soldiers, who did not ride in chariots, but rode alone, without exception, they were all people who had made great achievements in the last battle, and one of them was the most eye-catching.

This is a young man, dressed in ordinary black armor, about twenty years old, his eyebrows are as long as loose, his lips are thin as knives, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, his eyes are the most beautiful, like black and white gems, and he is awe-inspiring in his anticipation, and this is not the reason for his attention, but a flame flying above his head.

It was a soaring bird, which swept up and down like a swimming dragon, and let out a long cry that pierced through the wind and clouds, and it spread its wings two feet long to cast a larger shadow, which happened to envelop the young general.

That shadow was like a pillar of light, moving with the youth.

"Punish evil, punish evil!"

Yanjing people all know that there is such a huge divine bird in Yanjing, it flies from the south, but it takes root in Yanjing, and this, of course, is worthy of Yanjing people to be proud of, they cheered, their eyes are extremely warm. According to the soldiers who returned a few days ago, at the source of the glacier, this divine bird performed miraculous feats, and finally at the critical moment, a mouth pecked the king of Beidi's heavenly spirit cover, and took out the little golden man used by the Beidi people to sacrifice heaven and earth from his arms.

"Yu Lie, Yu Lie!"

At the gate of the Yanjing Academy, hundreds of students and bachelors from all over the world were waiting eagerly, and when the young man rode over on a horse, someone in the crowd waved his hand and shouted loudly.

The young man did not squint, but quietly gestured at the man.

Yan snorted coldly.

The young man's eyebrows were straight, his chest was straight, and his head was raised, as if iron was cast and copper was poured, and he no longer dared to make small movements secretly.

"Mighty, mighty! With such an iron-clad lion, who in the world dares to take advantage of it? The old bachelor stroked his white beard and exclaimed.

"Yu Lie has made meritorious service again, I wonder if I can raise the title again this time?" A student looked at the young man behind Yan Qixie, and his expression was extremely envious.

The person next to the student said, "Didn't he just get promoted?" I remember that it was the Battle of Longshan last year, when he led his retainers and warriors to attack for 800 miles, and captured alive the sons and daughters of the king of Beidi at a small price, a total of more than ten people, and presented them to Yanjun together. At that time, he was already a baron of the second class. ”

Another person said: "I heard that the surprise attack was actually that he got lost, and he ran for three days and three nights, but he didn't want to, but he hit it crookedly, and happened to meet the daughter of Chief Di bathing by the stream, so he let him serve a pot, alas, his luck is really good!" ”

At this time, a bachelor who was listening quietly next to him suddenly said angrily: "It's nonsense, Yu Lie is accompanied by a divine bird and evil spirit, how can he get lost?" Look at your cowardice, could it be that you are dissatisfied with Yu Lie, I can tell you that we Yan people only admire manly husbands, not sour old women who speak ill of people behind their backs. With that, he pressed his sword, turned and left.

The man who was scolded blushed and squeaked, "Who is that person?" How can you be so rude? ”

"Not long have you been in Yanjing?" The student who was the first to talk about Yu Lie raised his eyebrows.

The scolded man said strangely: "How does Brother Tai know? ”

"No wonder you don't know him, don't believe those hearsays in the future, Yu Lie is the most proud disciple of the general, and the art of war is the best in Yanjing, that is, those old masters in the palace also like him very much, and the person who scolded you just now is none other than the son of General Yan, Yan Toe."

The scolded man looked at Yan Toe's distant back, and sighed: "Alas, people are more angry than people, if I have General Yan as a teacher, and for the old masters to value, I can also achieve miraculous achievements..."

"Phew, shaft, it's not enough to speak!"

As soon as he heard this, the students beside the scolded man stayed away from him, as if they were hiding from the plague, for fear that they would be contaminated with his sourness.

……

The rebellion of Beidi was finally settled, the Di people completely disappeared in the source of the glacier in the far north, the soldiers who returned in triumph stood in front of the palace city, Yan Jun summoned the heaven and earth, sacrificed to the martyrs, and rewarded meritorious deeds, Yan Qievil and the young people drove side by side, slowly sailing to the general's mansion.

Behind them, they were escorted by sixteen retainers of Yan Qixie.

Yan said evilly: "Yu Lie, this time Vadi has succeeded in one fell swoop, and you have made great contributions, but the king has not promoted your title, do you have any ideas?" ”

The young man shook his head and said, "In the fifth year of Vadi, Master Yan is the person who has made the greatest contributions, how dare Yu Lie deserve it." Besides, in the battle of Longshan last year, the king treated Yu Lie very well, and he was exceptionally promoted, and he was given ten miles of land. This move has already aroused the envy of people, how dare Yu Lie covet too much, besides, didn't he also give five miles of land this time. As he spoke, he smiled gently, if it weren't for the new scar on his cheek that ruined the charm, he was really a gentle and elegant aristocratic gentleman.

"That's fine."

Yan Qixi's majestic and dignified face finally had a smile, tilted his head, looked at his most proud disciple, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't rush back to the territory, come to the house later, your master and mother have been writing about you, saying that they baked your favorite bracken patty." When the time comes, our master and apprentice will fill up two glasses of wine and invite the fireflies to play a piece of Xun, which is under the big pear tree. ”

After three years of fighting, serving iron armor and cold swords, sleeping in the snow, the young man no longer knew what the bracken patty was, and when he thought of the hot and fragrant delicacy, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "Go now, why wait until later." ”

"Huh?"

Yan raised his eyebrows, rarely, he actually showed an incredible look, and looked at Yu Lie fixedly: "Good boy, are you stupid in the war?" You've been there for three years, and now you're back with honors, how can your fox friends let you go? Ah, look at ......," he said, turning his eyebrows and looking at the row of pear trees in front of the alley.

The young man turned his head to look, at the mouth of the deep alley, under a row of lush pear trees, several figures were hiding, obviously, they were looking for young people, but there was Yan but evil, and they did not dare to step forward, among them, there was the son of Yan Qievil who was unhappy with the young man, Yan Toe.

Yan Qixie didn't seem to see that his sons were also inside, he had a cold face and said, "Go, but you have to remember that Firefly Xue can wait for you at home." Well, by the way, catch those stinky boys for me, I want to study their art of war and swordsmanship, your master and wife said, they have lacked discipline over the years, and they are simply unorthodox. After speaking, the mighty General Yan shook the reins of his horse, and actually bypassed the small alley that was the shortcut to go home, and ran towards another alley.

"Yu Lie!"

"You kid is finally back, hurry up and go, we have already booked a celebration banquet for you in "Qinyulou". If it is a little later, I am afraid that I will not be able to hear the sound of the piano of Cai Xuan, the number one beauty in Cai Guo. ”

As soon as Yan was gone, the group of unlearned and unskilled gentlemen rushed up and surrounded the young man. And the big firebird that had been flying above the young man's head also chirped happily at the young man, and then turned its wings and flew towards a certain place in the city. It seems that it also has people who are anxious to meet it.
