Moya Continent, southwest of the Bangbang Plateau.

A ray of pale gold rises from the gray sea, reflecting the pre-dawn warmth of the dark sea, and the jagged white cliffs stretch out from the beautiful shore and then hang straight into the sea. As the sun rose higher and higher, the tall iron-gray city standing majestically on the cliff was slowly soaked in a touch of gold, but the huge ice lan in the middle of the city gate reflected a cold slaughter.

The Castle Lord's Mansion is the largest building in Binglan City, and its solid walls are densely wooded, with heavy houses, blue bricks and gray tiles, dotted among them. Looking from afar in the early morning haze, it is indescribably solemn and solemn.

The crisp rooster crow broke the tranquility, and the city lord's mansion, which had been silent all night, was a little more lively, and the servants got up one after another, carrying water to cook, washing and cleaning, performing their duties, talking and laughing, and starting a busy day.

There is a cross-courtyard on the west side of the city lord's mansion, and the courtyard door is closed at this time, silent, as if the bustle outside has nothing to do with this place.

A young man who looked to be seven or eight years old, who had been reading the "History of the Bohemian War" for most of the night, rubbed his tired eyes, got up and moved his slightly stiff hands and feet, and then gently put the book back on the shelf and slowly walked out of the door.

The air in the early morning was exceptionally fresh, and the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of magnolia, which made the young man clear and indescribably comfortable.

"Young Master, you're up!" Seeing the young man walk out of the door, the maidservant who had been waiting on the side smiled and got up to say hello, and brought hot water for washing with her hands and feet.

"Hmm!" The boy nodded.

"Madame asked the kitchen to send some cod and lotus seed porridge to the young master this morning, all of them are hot for you, you can eat more later!"

When she saw the young man, the maid chattered non-stop, and the handsome little blushed and fluttered.

"Oh, okay!" The boy didn't seem to wake up from sleep, and he didn't have the slightest bit of agility and vibrancy.

"Young Master, are we going to the Flower House today?" After the boy had washed up, the maidservant brought breakfast and put it on the table, and asked casually.

"If you don't go out today, just practice in the house, if you feel bored, go to Sister Min'er to play later!" The boy said with hot cod porridge in his mouth and expressionless.

"Really? That's great! The maid's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and cheered, and then muttered quietly, "Save yourself from seeing that vixen again!" ”

The boy who was drinking porridge suddenly gave her a blank look.

Seeing the young man's eyes, the maid immediately smiled again: "Me! I'm not going anywhere today, so I'll accompany the young master to practice, I think the young master's sparrow skills are the most powerful! ”

"Uh-" The boy almost squirted out the porridge in his mouth: "Little confused! I warn you! Don't follow Samber and talk nonsense in the future! ”

"Yes, yes! Young master, don't be angry, Xiaorou won't dare next time! After speaking, the maid showed a look of grievance, and shrunk her hands and feet to hide behind the young man.

"Humph! Pretending! The young man pursed his lips and ignored the maidservant, for six years, he had long been accustomed to the other party's pitiful expression.

The maid's real name is Xiaorou, an orphan, 14 years old this year, just the same age as the boy, is a girl bought by his wife from the market six years ago, born smart and well-behaved, likable, for some reason, the boy wants to call her a little confused.

"Next time, I'll send you to work in the kitchen, and see if you dare to talk nonsense!" The young man drank the fragrant porridge, smiling secretly in his heart, and his face was still expressionless. It's just that he didn't know that the frightened look on the little confused face behind him was long gone, and he was looking at his back at the moment, revealing a complex look of pity and pity.

The little confusion is actually not confused at all.

The boy's name is Sang Nan, the youngest son of Sang Baihua, the lord of Binglan City, Sang Baihua has three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Sang Dong is 20 years old and belongs to the 2nd Army Corps of the Northern Border Army, the second son Sang Bei is 15 years old and is now a reserve soldier, the third son Sang Nan is 14 years old, and his daughter Sang Linger is still babbling.

In Binglan City, Sang Nan is an out-and-out celebrity. He was extremely intelligent from an early age, and his memory was particularly impressive. When he was six years old, his calligraphy teacher, the university scholar Gu Yuan, once said to Sang Baihua, "This son is amazingly talented, he can read by eye, he can touch the class, and the good will become a great tool!" If you are not good, you will become a demon! Conclusive. For a while, the entire Binglan City knew that the city lord's family had a talented prodigy.

But fate is often full of drama! When he was 8 years old, this prodigy young master got a strange illness for no reason, and since then he has never grown taller. You must know that the men of the Sang nationality have always been known for their high and healthy height, tough facial features, and strong temperament, whether it is Sang Baihua, or Sang Dong and Sang Bei, they are all born with burly bodies and outstanding appearances, and they are famous great male families in the Kasha aristocratic circle. Therefore, for a 14-year-old San boy, his height of 1.3 meters will undoubtedly make him a joke in aristocratic circles!

In order to treat Sang Nan, Sang Baihua invited famous doctors, and even the patriarch Sang Haiyuan personally came forward and invited his friend Zhao Liangchen, a famous doctor from Moya, to Binglan City, but they were all helpless about Sang Nan's condition.

It may be possible to imagine what Sang Nan, who was only 8 years old at the time, had experienced, the gossip of the mediocre people in the street, the indifference and contempt of the servants in the house, and the teasing and ridicule of the villains in the clan...... Gradually, this originally smart and well-behaved young man began to have a strange and cruel personality, and often did some crazy things, those who teased and mocked him to his face, within a few days, his nose and face were swollen, and his hands and feet were broken, and even the Frost City Lord's own son was not spared. Of course, when this kind of thing happens, the city lord of Sangda will generally adopt a more "good-will" adjustment method, and the other party is at fault first, and he can only consider himself unlucky.

Later, all the ruffians in Binglan City understood one thing, that is, the dwarf of the Sang family was not only extremely smart, but also ruthless! Don't provoke!

In the main building in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man with a burly figure, dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a blue robe was sitting at the dining table at the moment.

On the dining table, there are fumigated ham, golden silk meat buns, lean white porridge, and a few steamed buns, all of which are homely breakfasts, but they are prepared by his wife, after more than 20 years of marriage, his taste has not changed, he only likes to eat the breakfast made by his wife, but today he has no appetite.

"Bai Hua, do you have anything on your mind?" Lou Danfeng retreated, looked at her husband who was full of worries, and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a small group of bandits appearing!" Sang Baihua replied casually, but there was imperceptible worry in his eyes.

"What kind of bandit is so powerful? So much so that our Sangda City Lord can't even eat? Lou Danfeng slowly approached and teased.

The fragrance on his side struck people, which made Sang Baihua's expression soothe slightly, he knew that his wife had always been wise, so he had to smile helplessly: "Okay, I know that I can't hide it from you!" It was the news from Brother Yun of Ice and Snow City, saying that a few days ago, a businessman was robbed by bandits on the official road outside Ice and Snow City, so he ran back to the city to report to the official for help, Brother Yun heard that there were not many people on the other side, so he sent a cavalry team to chase after him, who expected that the whole team would not return! ”

"Oh? Who is the other party? It's not easy to defeat the bandits of the cavalry squad! Lou Danfeng was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Brother Yun hasn't figured out the details of the other party yet!" Sang Baihua's face was slightly gloomy: "But it's the Sang Shi team who went on a mission this time!" ”

"Mulberry Squad? The one from last year's Clan Soldier Competition? Lou Danfeng's eyes widened, and she was obviously a little shocked in her heart.

The Sang clan is armed with martial arts, and the quadrennial clan soldier competition is a long-standing competitive tradition of the Sang clan, which is used to test the children of the clan, including bows, horses, royals, fights, games and many other items, which are deeply valued by the children of the clan. The Sangshi team can be called a dark horse in last year's competition, the bow horse is skillful, the style of play is brave, as the captain of the Sangshi is a rare young warrior, although in the end it was regrettable to lose to Sang Lan, who is known as the "show general", stopped in the quarterfinals, but Lou Danfeng still remembered the resolute face, fierce temperament of the young man.

"It's Sanshi's nephew! Although there are only twenty people in the Sanshi team, the members are all children of the clan, and their combat power can easily defeat ten times their own ordinary soldiers, even if they are defeated, at least they can call for help, and they disappear silently, how can they not make people scruples! ”

"And Brother Yun, they found the corpse of the Sangshi team in the cedar forest thirty miles outside the city, and the whole team had no arrow wounds all over their bodies, all of them were fatal with a knife! It's disgusting! ”

Sang Baihua's expression was a little cold at this time, obviously the news that the Sang Shi team was killed made him a little resentful.

"What! Only knife wounds? ”

Lou Danfeng's heart was full of shock, he was killed in a hand-to-hand encounter, and he didn't even have time to ask for help, which can only show that the strength of this gang of bandits is far superior to that of the Sanshi team.

"This thing is strange from the inside out, Brother Yun's obedient Ice and Snow City is garrisoned by 5,000 clan soldiers and 20,000 armor soldiers, and the other party has no reason to do this, could it be that there is something mysterious in this?"

Sang Baihua has full confidence in the combat strength of the border army, and in his opinion, the other party's behavior of provoking the legion is no different from seeking death.

Lou Danfeng stroked the jade bracelet on Hao's wrist, frowning and thinking deeply: "This can be said, not only did the Sanshi team not escape, but they didn't even make a call for help before they died, which means that it only took a few breaths for the other party to kill them, and with such strength, I'm afraid only the army or mercenary group can do it!" It can't be a bandit! ”

"You mean to say?" Sang Baihua's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at his wife.

"I think the other party is a soldier!" Lou Danfeng's face was as pale as water, and his eyes were full of wisdom and depth.
