"What do you mean?" Jing Ling continued to ask. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Let me tell you this, tomorrow's athletic tournament is very grand, and the generalissimo of the Guangjun and many nobles in the empire will also attend, and this kind of very political athletic tournament is naturally a bit of a sight, so the city lord decided to divide the thousand slaves into ten teams, each with its own color and clothing. Ten teams of slaves will fight in the arena, and the surviving team of slaves will be pardoned and regained their freedom. ”

Jing Ling frowned and said, "Are all ten teams of slaves together?" ”

"Of course, that's what makes it interesting." The horse-faced officer said expectantly, "Like the slaves in the rest of the region, the slaves in your area will also select the strongest hundred men to compete, and if the plan is not changed, your costumes should be blue, and my brothers and I will put gold coins on the blue team." ”

A soldier next to the horse-faced officer scolded: "Damn Leo, I don't know how many strong slaves I killed just now, and if I can give up gambling now, I will be willing to cut half of the gambling money." ”

"What's the fuss, don't forget that the generalissimo has pressed a thousand gold coins on the blue team." The horse-faced officer smiled slyly and added, "I think tomorrow if there is any team with the most elite equipment, it will be the blue team." ”

The soldier who had just spoken patted his head and said with a smile: "Aha, I forgot about this, the generalissimo likes gambling the most, and the city lord will definitely do something to make the generalissimo earn a lot of plutonium in order to please him." Those of us who are small and follow the generalissimo can also dip some light and get some soup to drink. ”

These soldiers were talking and laughing, while Jing Ling had a black line on his face, and scolded in his heart: His uncle, what kind of world is this!

The horse-faced officer did not notice Kyoling's face, he looked through the iron fence at the small window in the stone wall, where the bright yellow sunlight no longer shone, and said wordlessly that night had fallen, and the horse-faced officer once again instructed the three soldiers to pay attention to Leo, and then turned away from them.

Seeing the commander walk out of the dungeon, the three soldiers found a place to start chatting, and finally simply squatted on the ground and threw dice to gamble, while Jing Ling sat on the ground with his back against the stone wall, looking up at the roof of the prison covered with spider silk......

"Brother, what do you want to do if you can regain your freedom?" Jing Ling asked Lin Yan, who was sitting beside him.

"I'm going to be an engineer, I'm going to build the strongest city ever." Lin Yan said proudly.

"Engineer? The ambition is quite big, but any solid city is often broken from within. ”

Lin Yan looked at Jing Ling in a daze, and he said uncertainly: "Big brother knows the art of war?" ”

"The Art of War...... This is what the Chinese are most proficient in, not to mention that I am a soldier. Jing Ling laughed to himself.

But Lin Yan's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Big brother's country allows the art of war to circulate in the market!?" ”

"What's wrong with this, books like Warring States Policy and Sun Tzu's Art of War have long been sold all over the world." Jing Ling felt very inexplicable about Lin Yan's question, but soon he was relieved, and said silently in his heart: By the way, this is a troubled era, and in order to consolidate the regime, of course the people in power will not let the military book circulate in the city. ”

Sure enough, Lin Yan chased and asked, "Is that country called China a perennial state of turmoil?" ”

"No, despite the small number of separatists, our country is relatively peaceful. But when it comes to history, it's an epic history of war, and all thanks to a man named Chen Sheng. ”

"Chen Sheng? Who is he? Lin Yan asked with an interested expression.

"Speaking of Chen Sheng, this guy is awesome, he was originally a small civil servant, and later forced by the bloody oppression of the Great Qin Empire, he was determined to lead the peasants to revolt. But because the ruler mentally created a high impression on the peasant army, in order to make the peasant army dare to challenge the ruler, he said a golden sentence that made future generations of Chinese crazy. ”

"What is the golden phrase of the ages!?" Lin Yan leaned in front of Jing Ling and listened carefully.

"That sentence is - are princes and generals all born!" When Jing Ling said this, there was a momentum of Ling Tian on his body, which made Lin Yan beside him lose his mouth in shock.

"Are all princes and generals...... Born. Lin Yan muttered with a sluggish expression.

Jing Ling shook his head at him and said, "It is because this sentence has given the Chinese in later generations an imperial dream, and according to historical data, there are more than 30,000 people who have taken action for the imperial dream alone." And it is no exaggeration to say that even in modern times, fifty out of every hundred Chinese have fantasized about becoming an emperor, which can also see how great the influence of this ancient golden saying is! ”

"Then the purpose of the eldest brother coming to the Boundless Continent is to realize the emperor's dream!?" Lin Yan stammered.

"When a slave tells you that he wants to be an emperor, will you believe it?" Jing Ling crossed his hands on his hips, leaned softly against the wall, and looked teasing.

"If it was the eldest brother who said it, then I must believe it, not to mention that it is not unheard that a slave is a god king."

Slaves as emperors? Jing Ling was surprised: "The slave really became the emperor? ”

Lin Yan nodded in affirmation: "The previous king of the Black Land Kingdom was born as a slave, and in the Boundless Continent, in order to effectively manage the huge territory, the rulers pursued the land division system, and the emperor divided the land to the lords who were loyal to him, and the lords were responsible for paying taxes and defending the country. More than 40 years ago, a slave named Luo Tianqi rebelled, he swore allegiance to the Albertan Empire, and led thousands of slave troops to fight against the Nolan Empire, and finally brutally defeated the 27 northern cities of the Nolan Empire, thus establishing the current Black Land Kingdom. ”

Seeing Jing Ling's look of interest, Lin Yan continued: "It's a pity that twenty years ago, two legions with a total of 120,000 troops were dispatched to the northern border of Nolan to attack the Black Land Kingdom. In order to protect his family and defend the country, Luo Tianqi led the army of the King of Heidi to meet the enemy at the first time, and the lords of the cities in Heidi also actively responded to Luo Tianqi's army gathering order. However, the long-planned Nolan army has a very strong ability to maneuver, and the Nolan army has already captured the ice city before the armies of all the city-states in the Blacklands are assembled. ”

"The hateful Nolan people burned and looted after capturing the ice city, in order to save the people in dire straits, Luo Tianqi led 30,000 Black Land King troops to attack the city before the army of the lord under his command arrived, and in the end he was killed by random arrows, and the 30,000 Black Land King Army was also defeated everywhere."

"Fortunately, the lords of the other city-states in the Black Land later stopped the invasion of Nolan's army, which allowed the Black Land Kingdom to remain, but Luo Tianqi had died in battle, and it was a question who should inherit his throne. At that time, the prince's name was Rakshasa and he was only five years old, and Grand Duke Patch, a careerist, proclaimed himself regent in the name of the prince's young age, and from then on Patchy began to exclude dissent. All the lords who supported the Luo family were annihilated by his design, and in the end, the Patch family was invincible in the Black Land Kingdom. ”

"But Rakshasa is the titular king after all. Prince, once the rakshasa reaches the age of sixteen, the regent Pache must abdicate unconditionally. Of course, this careerist would not willingly surrender the throne, so one night when the Rakshasa was about to celebrate his sixteenth birthday, the palace suddenly caught fire. All members of the Luo family, including Chu Rakshasa, were burned to death, and this bloody coup d'Γ©tat caused an uproar across the country. ”

"But the unarmed citizens can only submit to the power of the Patch, and the Luo family has been destroyed, as the suzerain, the Albertan Empire does not want the Blackland Kingdom to fall into turmoil, and those neutral lords who hold military power have also recognized the dominance of the Patch under the trade-off, so since ten years ago, the Blackland Kingdom has entered the era of the Pache Dynasty."
