(The first update, there will be a second one.) ）

Somewhere on the border of sandalwood and seclusion.

The hot summer is coming, and the climate in the north is still very cool, no more than the current drizzle in the south, and there is still less rain in the cloudy land. Today is a rare rainy day, but it is also a light rain, as thin as a fishing line of rain falling from the sky, weaving this generation of picturesque rivers and mountains.

The rain sprinkled on Zhao Wu's face, knocking down some bloodstains. He rushed out of a mountain trail and rushed to the official road, his face was grim, and before he could wipe the sweat on his face, the fatigue caused by the long-term running and the ruptured and bleeding wounds made his feet weak, and his body fell involuntarily.

As he fell, an arrow from an unknown source flew almost against his scalp.

Zhao Wu rolled on the spot, and when he stood up again, he found that he was already under siege. He gasped and stood with his knife in his hand, staring coldly at the dozen or so people who were blocking his way. Because of the detachment, his chest rose and fell violently, and the red blood stains on his chest made him look embarrassed.

"I really didn't expect that outside the town army, the general would raise so many private troops in private, and I have been with the general for many years, and I have never found any clues!" Zhao Wu had a calm face and looked at the humanity in front of him.

"How can my father's wisdom be understood by a reckless man like you!" A young man with a ruthless and disdainful look in his eyes put away the strong bow in his hand, replaced the horizontal knife in his hand, and looked at Zhao Wu, who was on guard, his eyes full of mockery. "Song Li let you go, do you really think you can get away? My father wants your life, no one can save you, and even if the king of heaven comes, not to mention the help of His Royal Highness Yelu! You desperately escaped and fled so far, but you can't change anything except kill Song Li. Song Li was originally a person valued by my father, but now he is also dying because of you, you say, you don't die, is it intolerable? ”

"You killed Team Song?!" Zhao Wu gritted his teeth and pointed a knife at the young man, the anger in his eyes seemed to be able to burn the mountains and forests, and asked word by word.

Zhao San smiled contemptuously and said, "If he doesn't obey his father's military orders, he deserves to die!" Father's military law, don't you know? ”

Zhao Wu shook his head slowly, his body couldn't help but tremble, he tried his best to control it, looked up at the sky, and roared, "Why, why?!" ”

The mockery in Zhao San's eyes was even stronger, and he looked at Zhao Wu's demeanor as if he was teasing an ant, "You know that we are going to vote for the Khitan, you know that His Royal Highness Yelu has entered Danzhou, and you know how they are going to deal with Li Congjing, any of these three, you know, you have to die!" ”

Zhao Wu still shook his head, desolate and sad, "I didn't ask this, but asked you, Zhao San, as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty and a citizen of Youyun, how can you ignore the righteousness of the country, ignore the deep enmity between the border people and the Khitan, not be a Han Chinese, and be willing to betray the country for glory and be a dog of the Khitan people?!" If you do this, aren't you afraid that once the commander knows, he will bring all of you to justice? ”

This made Zhao San angry, his face flushed abnormally, and the cruel color in his eyes was even worse, "Military marshal? What is Li Congjing, it's too late for him to enjoy power in Youzhou now, where does he have time to take care of our small place? He sneered again: "Zhao Wu, this son originally wanted to keep you alive for two more moments, so that he could know how stupid he was, but since you are so insistent on begging for death, I will fulfill you!" After speaking, I wanted to do it myself, but seeing that Zhao Wu's waist was straight, the horizontal knife in his hand was as stable as Mount Tai, and he still had the strength to fight, and he thought of the other party's bravery, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, so he stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhao Wu, beckoning left and right, "Up, give me a knife to chop into minced meat!" ”

The entourage around him swarmed up and rushed towards Zhao Wu.

"It is not a pity to die of a certain puppeteer, but the military commander is heroic, and such a traitor as Er will die at the hands of the military commander in the future!"

"Today, I want you to know what it means to know the times as a handsome person, in the face of power, the righteousness of the country and the deep hatred of the sea of blood are not worth mentioning, because you don't have that life at all, to hold these things in your hands!" Zhao San sneered, "Zhao Wu, you are also cheap, what is so good about Li Congjing, he humiliated you like this, you still have such high hopes for him?" If he really can, you let him come now, and this son is willing to offer this head on his shoulder! ”

Zhao Wu didn't have time to answer him, he was busy dealing with the enemy in front of him.

The people who rushed up to besiege Zhao Wu only took a few steps, and suddenly someone rushed over from behind, hurriedly stopped in front of Zhao San, pointed behind him, and said with a frightened expression: "Gong...... Childe, there are, there are people! ”

Zhao San was very unhappy, "What about someone?" This son didn't tell you, but if anyone dares to disturb our affairs, they will be killed! ”

"No, it's not ......" or because of emotion, the mouth is slurred.

"What's not?" Zhao San frowned and said impatiently.

"They, they're killing our people, we can't stop it!" The man finally got his mouth out of what he was about to say.

"What did you say?" Zhao Sanyi grabbed the man's collar, lifted him up, and scolded angrily: "You're fucking crazy, aren't you? I ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a movement behind him. Turn around and look, stay there immediately. As soon as his hand was released, the person who came to report fell to the ground, and he did not notice it.

Countless knights, like wolves, swarmed in.

All the people who stood in front of them, those private armies that Zhao Tianhe had cultivated with countless efforts, were like scarecrows, they were easily killed by the coefficients, and they fell down one after another.

His people are numerous, and his deeds are also beneficial, and he is as powerful as a god, unstoppable.

Zhao San was dumbfounded for a while, and before he could react, his private army was slaughtered. Those who besieged Zhao Wu also stopped and looked back. In an instant, those Tsing Yi knights rolled over with the momentum of a tiger fighting a rabbit, surrounding Zhao San and the others in the middle.

Zhao Wu was also stunned, completely unsure why.

Zhao San was angry and frightened, forced himself to calm down, and couldn't help but ask: "Who are you waiting for, dare to kill the border army?" ”

At this time, he knew that he was a border army of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tsing Yi knight headed by him, standing tall like a green mountain, holding the reins of a horse, sitting on the back of a horse, looked at Zhao San condescendingly, without any expression, just asked lightly: "Are you Zhao San?" ”

Zhao San was surprised, facing the strange knight wearing six knives in front of him, he found that his back was full of chills, and when he touched the other party's eyes, his heart trembled for no reason. Rao was like this, but still forced a breath, "So what? Who are you, and who know who I am, and why did you kill me? ”

"On the orders of the military commander, I have come to take your life!" The knight with six knives suddenly had a cold look in his eyes, and his body suddenly jumped up from the horse's back, and he was in mid-air, and the long knife was already in his hand, and he slashed at Zhao San head-on!

"Li Congjing?!" Zhao San was shocked, his heart was shocked, and in a panic, he hurriedly raised his knife and raised it, wanting to block the long knife of the incoming person.

With a "snort", Zhao San's horizontal knife had not yet been raised, and his head and body had been cut out of the middle line by the long knife. Everyone only felt that a phantom flashed in front of them, and when they looked at it again, the movements of the Tsing Yi swordsman had stopped, and the long knife had already left Zhao San's body. In the shocked and shocked eyes of everyone, Ding Hei got up and put away the knife, and after an instant, Zhao San's body spewed blood and fell weakly.

Ding Hei, who stood up, didn't look at Zhao San's entourage with straight eyes, and said lightly: "All of them will be killed on the spot!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the knights passed by him, and within a moment, those Zhao family's private troops who tried to resist, escape, or were still stunned were all killed.

Ding Hei stepped through the crowd and came to Zhao Wu, who was still in shock, glanced at him, and said gently: "You are Zhao Wu?" The commander wants to see you. ”

The great changes in front of us only happened in a moment, and there was not even too much conversation, and ordinary people may not have figured out what was going on. Zhao Wu came back to his senses from his surprise, listened to Ding Hei's words, and fell into a deeper surprise, "The army and the commander want to see me?" The commander is coming? ”

"Hmm!" Ding Hei nodded, "Come with me!" After saying that, he turned around and took the lead in the first step.

Zhao Wu was so excited that he was a little at a loss, and it wasn't until Ding Hei turned around and walked away that he reacted, and hurriedly saluted and sang a promise, "Obey orders!" ”

A moment later, Zhao Wu climbed a hillside and saw Li Congjing standing on the slope overlooking in the distance. Seeing each other again in recent years, Li Congjing was still not wearing armor, Zhao Wu did not dare to approach, and bowed five steps away, "Zhao Wu, the lowly Shuntian Town team, has seen the military marshal!" ”

Li Congjing turned around, motioned for Zhao Wu to get up, and smiled: "How is the injury?" ”

The first sentence was Li Congjing's concern for the injury, Zhao Wu was greatly moved, and hurriedly raised his chest and said: "Don't worry, the commander is only a small injury, but he can still go into battle to kill the enemy!" He was excited, cramped, and nervous, and blurted out the same set of words.

Li Congjing didn't care about his inappropriate words, and his smile became more and more gentle, "When we met last year, you forcibly married a people's daughter, which made Ben Shuai angry, and the order to take away your military status was the order of Ben Shuai himself." I never thought that after more than half a year, you still have military status. The border army is difficult to govern, and the soldiers are arrogant and fierce, and they have only heard about it before, but now they are seeing is believing. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wu thought that Li Congjing was to blame, and his heart was suddenly uneasy, and he hurriedly bowed down, "Military marshal, this is a crime of lowly duty, and lowly duty should be punished, but the responsibility is all on the lowly position, and I hope that the military commander will not be angry...... Checkmate. ”

Li Congjing waved his hand, walked up to Zhao Wu, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "Ben Shuai doesn't mean to blame, you don't have to be nervous." Not only that, Ben Shuai is also happy. If you are expelled from the barracks that day, the commander will not know your loyalty and courage at this time, and the Datang border army will also lose a general, which will be a great loss! Your guilt will be pardoned today. ”

Li Congjing's move moved Zhao Wu, and he said: "Xie Junshuai, I am grateful for my humble position!" ”

"Listening to your words, I still don't want to blame Zhao Tianhe. Zhao Tianhe asked people to kill you, but you are still willing to intercede for him, which shows that the two of you have a deep friendship. That being the case, Zhao Tianhe is a thief and treason, how can you desperately leave him? Li Congjing then asked.

Zhao Wu was shocked when he heard this. Li Congjing's words show that he already knows about Zhao Tianhe's defection to the Khitan. How Li Congjing knew, Zhao Wu didn't know, but this did not prevent him from answering Li Congjing's question, and he said in a sonorous tone: "As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, it is an inherent responsibility to defend the land against the enemy. Over the years, we have not achieved anything to protect the border and fight thieves, how can we be thieves and forget our ancestors? Although he has a deep friendship with General Zhao, his own selfish relationship cannot be compared with the righteousness of his family and country! In the face of national enmity, there is no compromise and no selfish interests! ”

Li Congjing saw the resolute light flashing in Zhao Wu's eyes, and knew that what he said was true, and couldn't help but sigh even more. This reckless man who once relied on his high merits and married a people's daughter with dignity and strength has such a pure heart.

However, there are not many ordinary soldiers in the border army. They may have such and such flaws, but the righteousness of the country and the insistence on treating foreign criminals as enemies are so shocking.

Before Li Congjing asked Zhao Wu to go down to treat his injuries, he said to him: "Zhao Wu, this commander wants to choose you to join the Hundred Battles Army, are you willing?" ”

Zhao Wu was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic.

How is Congjing Lee? It is the blessing of the clouds, and the hope of the soldiers and civilians in the border areas to protect the border and fight the thieves.

How about the Hundred Battles Army? It is the most powerful weapon in Li Congjing's hands.

Joining the Hundred Battles Army is the dream of countless border soldiers who respect Li Congjing. For these border armies, it is a great honor to enter the army of a hundred battles.

"I am willing to follow the army commander to protect the border and fight thieves, and fight in all directions!"
