Chapter 1 One Year

In the southeast direction of Nanli's borders, it is 'claimed' a hundred thousand flood famines.

The rolling hills lead to the sea, and the climate here is hot and humid, and the vegetation is unusually lush. The dense forest is entangled with vines, and unconsciously, the hills are woven into a 'cage', the wind is impervious to the rain, and the fallen leaves and branches fall into the ground, and they rot layer by layer, turning into countless foul-smelling swamps for thousands of years...... Snakes and scorpions breed between the mountains and marshes, poisonous beasts are rampant, and there are often poisonous miasma raging, such a harsh environment, even the mountain stream barbarians do not want to go, preferring to stay in Nanli, and live closer to the Han people they hate.

And among the 100,000 savages, there are hordes of terrible monsters, coming and going like the wind, ferocious and bloodthirsty. This is not a myth of ghosts and ghosts, but it is true.

Three hundred years ago, the fire erupted in the depths of the wilderness, and the monsters were frightened, and they swarmed out of the wilderness and deep into the human realm, causing countless killings. The previous dynasty suffered from it, learned from the pain, imitated the ancient emperor to build a long wall, and wanted to block the disaster forever once and for all, but the project was too huge, and the previous dynasty collapsed and perished before half of the construction, and the project died.

Three hundred years of wind and rain, in the past, most of the remnants of the wall collapsed, but there are also a few strong forts to be preserved, repaired every year, there are garrisons in Pingshuli, and they are not expected to be able to block the attacking monsters, as long as they pay attention to the observation, as soon as there is a movement, it is enough to report immediately.

The White Drum Tower is one of them.

Being stationed here sounds tingling, but it's actually ...... The monsters were terrifying, but they had only been killed once three hundred years ago, and they hadn't moved since. There was no war here, coupled with abundant supplies, generous wealth, and loose discipline of the distant army of the Emperor of Shangao... In addition to being a little lonely, it is definitely a beautiful thing to be able to come to the White Drum Tower.

Hua Yan, the guard of the White Drum Tower, is not lonely, he secretly took over his wife and children two years ago, so his errand is truly perfect, General Hua can't wait to never be promoted, and he will stay here all his life.

Huayan is not a person who only cares about himself and does not think about his brother, several times he wrote a good article to the court, and his heart of serving the country jumped on the paper, as if as long as my emperor looked at the mountains, he immediately killed into 100,000 wilderness and opened up territory for Nanli. And in the righteousness, the suffering of the soldiers on the border is also hidden between the lines, and there are blood and tears hidden under the faint emotion, and the sadness is not enough for outsiders...... Finally, a year ago, the imperial court issued a gift, and along with the supplies, they were sent a few camp notes. The appearance is really a little flattering, but it is finally a young woman, and everyone is happy this time, and the morale of the male soldiers on the border of the White Drum Tower is like a rainbow, and they line up every night...... At dusk, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and all kinds of game were placed on the barbecue forks. Every ten days and a half they will go out to hunt, the deep mountains and old forests are eerie and terrifying, but they are all far away, and there will be no danger to hunting only at the edge of the mountains and forests.

Seeing that the game was burned by the flames, dripping, and making a soft sound, all the soldiers of the White Drum Tower were smiling, and at this time, a whining horn suddenly sounded on the castle tower. The soldiers instinctively let out a cheer and rushed towards the campfire, but as soon as they took a step, they reacted that it should be the bell that called for the opening of the meal, how could it be replaced by a horn?

What is the sound of the trumpet? After a breath, everyone finally came to their senses, and then everyone changed color!

The horn is the main battle, this is the sound of vigilance.

With a bang, there was chaos in the camp, the captain shouted loudly, ordered his soldiers to carry swords and bows, General Huayan's face was pale, he ran quickly to the sentry platform, and asked urgently: "Why do you sound the horn?" Although the military discipline is lax, but the errand still has to be done, no matter rain or shine on the sentry tower of the White Drum Tower, there will always be someone on duty, the officer on duty stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and his voice was dry: "My lord, please look, yes, is it a savage?" ”

Following his fingers, he saw a group of more than 20 people, their clothes were ragged and covered with mud, and their hair and beard were scratched, so dirty that they couldn't see their appearance at all.

Especially panicked, these people saw the tower from afar, and burst into cheers in unison, hugging each other and laughing and jumping, I don't know what kind of ceremony it is, don't they think that there is fresh human flesh here, so they are so happy?

General Hua regretted endlessly, he shouldn't have done it, he barbecued wild game in the camp, it must have been the aroma of cooked meat that attracted them, legend has it that savages have a dog's nose, they didn't believe it before, and now they have been retributed.

General Hua gave a loud order, the tower war drums rumbled, and all the soldiers entered the defense and were on strict alert.

The savage in front is just a small team, but perhaps, there are thousands of troops hidden in the forest, General Hua did not dare to slack off, turned his hand and drew his sword, pointed at the savage from afar, and shouted: "Nanli's solemn realm, stop here, if you move forward again, ten thousand arrows will pierce your body!" "Although I never thought that I would fight, but if I really want to fight, General Hua would rather die than retreat.

With the general yelling, all the soldiers of the White Drum Tower shouted in unison, and the two words reciprocated: retreat, retreat, retreat!

Only the adjutant who followed Hua Yan whispered to the general: "I'm afraid they can't understand Chinese......

Unexpectedly, in the group of savages, a loud voice suddenly exploded, overpowering the shouts of all the soldiers, and the words were in the official words of the Han people: "When the Fenglong Emperor of the Southern Li Kingdom drove the Emperor of the Southern Li Kingdom, Lord Hu, the left prime minister, is here, and you must not be rude." ”

The man who spoke stepped forward, blocking his companion behind him, and he also held a longbow in his hand, his gaze was stern and cold. There was another person, who stepped forward side by side with him, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but judging from his figure, he should be a young man, especially eccentric, he actually carried a big guy like a coffin board behind him.

It wasn't until the young man untied it and held it in his hand that General Hua could see what kind of coffin board it was, with a golden long handle and a red blade... It was clearly a murderous huge war knife.

At this time, one of the old men in the 'savage' said something, and his voice could not be heard, and the young man with the big sword said: "In front of the White Tower, General Huayan is there?" A few years ago, when the old man was inspecting the south side, he met him. ”

After passing the word, the young man added with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, we are not savage monsters, we are all Nanli people." ”

…… At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and it is nearly 99 Double Day.

Song Yang and his entourage first drifted on the sea for more than three months, Su Hang only sent them to land, but did not go with them, Song Yang wanted to say something, she only sent a soft and warm hug, and whispered in his ear: "Go with you, go to see those things I don't want to see?" ”

Su Hang shook her head, hugged her very tightly, but leaned back hard until she could look directly into Song Yang's eyes: "Now I know, you are not stupid at all, I can rest assured." ”

With a soft voice, a gentle smile, and a gentle kiss, Su Hang let go of Song Yang, hugged Amber again, and finally smiled at them: "I'm out this time, I won't come back if I can't find chocolate... If you can come back, please eat candy! ”

Seeing the big ship sail away again, Song Yang and the others identified the direction and turned their heads into the reckless flood.

The terrible desolation is terrifying, one is the ferocity of the beast, and the other is the poison is raging, but among the group, there are not only great masters like Luo Guan, but also poison and medical saints like Amber, and Mr. Bo, Gu Zhaojun, Shi Xiaoxiao, and Nan Rong are all strong people, and there is also Song Yang, who has both poison and martial arts, and there is nothing to worry about in terms of safety.

The trip was arduous but calm, that is, when it was time for Luo Guan to 'die', the situation was quite embarrassing, half a year had passed, Luo Guan was very puzzled about the fact that he was still alive, and frowned to ask Amber, Amber didn't even give him a pulse, and responded directly: "I'm not dead... Heart purple fever is a disease, among tens of millions of sick people, maybe one or two can be cured without medicine, there is no reason to say, you are one in ten thousand, not bad. ”

Luo Guan trusted Amber, but he was not a fool, and when he heard this, he narrowed his eyes again and turned to look at Song Yang. Song Yang pretended not to see it, and did not make eye contact with the Great Grandmaster for several days, ignoring him.

There are really 'monsters' in the forest, Song Yang and they have encountered countless along the way, in fact, they are all uncivilized savages, their bodies are much shorter than the Han people, more apes than humans, because of the different living conditions, the claws and teeth have evolved to be extremely sharp, and the movements are sensitive and the strength is also good.

Normally, they don't take the initiative to attack, after all, Song Yang and the others are huge and full of danger in their eyes, and if they can, they won't fight, they just monitor and track, and wait until Song Yang and his party leave their territory.

Along the way, it took seven or eight months, but when it was easy to reach the edge of the flood and was about to return to the world, Amber refused to go anymore, called Song Yang to his side, and smiled kindly: "You guys go, I want to stay." ”

Song Yang was taken aback, but before he could speak, Amber continued: "After walking for a few months, I suddenly felt... The scenery here has a unique taste, I want to stay for a while to have a good turn, rest assured, I don't never go out, and when I have fun, I will naturally go back to you, Yanziping, I remember. ”

Amber's temper is even more stubborn than Su Hang, she is an elder, and the things she decided are completely dissuaded by others, after speaking, she took out a booklet from her satchel, and smiled even more: "I wanted to hand it over to the princess and daughter-in-law with my own hands, but now... It's up to you to hand it over. You can also see that it is best for the little couple to practice together, and if you count it, this is also the ability of the bastard You Li. ”

Double cultivation cheats, the treasure of the baby.

There is no conflict between practicing double cultivation and pregnancy, but the key is that if you want a doll, you can't 'do it' according to the cheats, and the 'two things' can't be done at the same time, as long as they are staggered, they won't backlash.

Amber suddenly became serious: "Did you remember the prescription you were prescribed before?" When you return to Nanli, you must remember to take the medicine according to the prescription and take it on time, without the slightest deviation. ”

Song Yang had been seriously ill once, and when he had just been selected as a Qishi and returned to Yanziping Province, Sanguan burst out with cold air, and his whole body stiffened and he couldn't move a little. After encountering Amber, Song Yang's mind was all about rebellion, and when he got on the ship and set sail, he consulted Amber about this illness.

His own son is sick, Amber attaches great importance to it, but after careful examination, he relaxes, his illness is a backlash after being forced to break through the three levels and skyrocket, and it is not too serious, Amber prescribed a prescription, as long as he takes the medicine according to the prescription, he will be fine.

Then, Amber called Luo Guan and Shi Xiaoxiao to a secluded place alone, and whispered for a long time, not knowing what to entrust.

After all the explanations were said, Amber could not be retained, nor could others follow, just alone, turned around and walked into the depths of the wilderness, with a relaxed and happy footsteps, 'One hundred thousand wilderness', the world heard of the poor and vicious place, the playground in Amber's eyes.

…… Four years ago, Lord Hu was ordered to inspect the southern boundary, Prime Minister Zuo had an outstanding point, seeing people almost unforgettable, even if the position, identity is very different, and after a long time, the old man saw the 'signboard' of the white tower, or immediately remembered Huayan.

Soon verified the identity of the 'wild man', the White Drum Tower was in chaos again, General Yan's head was so big that he almost burst his hat and helmet, he couldn't figure it out anyway, how could Lord Hu suddenly appear. Is the microservice unannounced visit and investigation of the border gate? Even if this is the case, it should come from the 'inside', how can it come from the 'outside'? Unfortunately, there are countless game games in the camp...... Twenty or so 'wild men' entered the camp, first did not care about nonsense, saw that the clean water was closer than anything else, washed up before returning to the big tent, after sitting down, before he had time to speak, suddenly footsteps, a seven or eight-year-old doll, holding a wooden knife, shouted 'where is the wild man', rushed into the house.

General Hua was eager to punch himself, and it was his precious son who rushed in. In fact, in Pingyu, the doll and her mother lived a mile away from the barracks, and Huayan was bold enough to take his wife and children to the border, but he didn't dare to let them live in the camp after all.

But today just returned from hunting, there are good things in the cronies and subordinates specially went to take the mother and son to the camp, just now the nobles entered the customs, the white drum tower was in a mess, no one paid attention to the little doll.

Without waiting for General Hua to speak, Master Hu pulled the doll over and smiled lovingly: "If there are really wild people, what will you do?" ”

The child was not sensible, but after all, he was behind the door, and replied loudly: "Hold a knife and raise an arrow, come and kill one by one!" ”

Master Hu nodded with a smile, and turned his eyes to General Hua: "How can there be a doll in the border gate and guard barracks?" ”

General Hua swallowed: "He, he is the son of Yingji." ”

Before the words fell, the curtain of the door flickered again, and a woman with a bit of a posture rushed into the ...... in a panic General Hua really wanted to die, and it was his daughter-in-law who came in this time. Hua Shi knew that the matter was serious, maybe if the nobleman sneered, his son and husband would be beheaded, but the mother couldn't leave her son alone, and rushed in to prepare for the family to die together.

Master Hu pointed at Hua's family, and then asked General Hua, "Who is she?" ”

General Hua had cold sweat on his back, after all, he was a man, and he could say that his son was the 'son of Yingji', but he refused to say that his daughter-in-law was Yingji, and replied indiscriminately in a hurry: "She is an old bustard!" ”

I had never heard that Yingji was still worthy of the bustard, Lord Hu was stunned at first, then laughed, sent the doll to Fahrenheit, waved his hand and smiled: "Hurry up!" Then General Xiang Hua instructed: "Before the summons, the station is ready to answer, and then the carriage and horses are prepared, and we will set off directly after dinner, and we will return to Beijing." ”

Not long after, Song Yang and his entourage pedaled on the horse, and when they were leaving, Master Hu seemed to be chatting, and smiled at General Hua, who had always been a little worried: "Your son is more like a father than a mother." ”

With a bang, General Hua fell directly to the ground, Lord Hu's smile dissipated, and his voice was cold: "Military orders are like mountains, as a general who takes the lead in violating them, do you really think that the imperial court is so easy to deceive?" Go to the military department and confess your guilt. ”

Immediately, Master Hu's tone softened slightly: "Hold a knife and raise an arrow, and kill one by one...... It is this sentence of your doll, which saved the lives of the two of you, I will take care of it, keep your surname, make meritorious contributions, and hope that General Hua will not live up to his officials. ”

After speaking, Prime Minister Zuo gave an order, and the convoy set off overnight and rushed to Phoenix, and from beginning to end, he didn't look at Hua Yan again.

…… Halfway through the journey, Mr. Bo and Gu Zhaojun left the team, both of them were the leaders of one side, they hadn't come back for a year, and their subordinates couldn't tell how many things they had squeezed, so they had to contact their subordinates as soon as possible to understand the situation. Luo Guan also left with them, but he did not stay away, but just turned from the light to the dark, still following Song Yang and the others. Luo Guan's 'rebellion' is a pin, his identity is too sensitive, in case Tianjingtai forces Fenglong to make friends, everyone is embarrassed, it is better to let him 'escape' halfway.

Twenty days after setting off from the White Drum Tower, Phoenix City was in sight, and everyone in the mission was very excited, and on the way, Lord Hu had already found out that Dayan had not waved his army south, and he had not even sent a letter of reproach, as if a fight had never happened. On the contrary, Nanli went to Zheqiao and Hongcheng several times to increase troops, and he was so nervous that he couldn't be more nervous.

Since Dayan did not make trouble, the Nanli Imperial Court only had to give the mission and the Qishi a meritorious service, and the Qishi returned with meritorious service, so they were naturally happy and happy.

At this time, in the front of the city gate, suddenly rushed out of more than ten horses, the red armor and red tassels are gorgeous and eye-catching, and the unique dress of Nanli is the only one, you don't need to look at the flag to know that they are the generals of the Hongbo family.

A group of Hongbo guards in the center, surrounded by a young woman, straight to meet the team of the mission, the young woman dismounted, to the left prime minister to salute: "Chu Rong to see Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu this trip to show off the country's prestige, all the way to the hard work, Hongbo Mansion all admire, my father specially came back from Xiguan to pass the book, ordered Chu Rong to be sure to welcome out of the city, on behalf of the wait." ”

Prime Minister Zuo returned from a long trip, it is not an accident that the magnates in Beijing greeted him, since yesterday morning, the envoys have greeted a wave of Beijing official greetings, and it is normal for Ren Churong to come on behalf of Hongbo Mansion, but looking at the Hongbo Wei around her, all of them are strong men with big shoulders and round waists, and their eyes are looking for them from among the strangers, how do they look like they are here to fight.

Master Hu snorted: "The prince is so thoughtful, he is really ashamed of the old man, the king of Zhenxi supervised the battle on the western front, led the soldiers to fight bloodily, and made it difficult for Fanzi to enter Nanli for half a step, this is the real merit for the country and the people, the old man is far behind!" ”

The county lord and Lord Hu greeted each other casually, coming and going to praise each other, talking and laughing, Ren Churong changed the topic: "Uncle Hu forgives the sin, Chu Rong still has a small matter to ask for......"

Master Hu was shrewd, and he had already seen that Hongbo Mansion was not coming for him, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Who do you want to ask the county lord to ask for, but don't take too long, long live the will already have a will, and everyone will go to the palace to see the driver as soon as they enter Beijing." ”

The old man didn't expect that the county lord of Chenghe wanted to find whom, just looking at Hong Bowei's posture, as if he was afraid that he would kill one or two before he stopped, so he raised the gold-lettered signboard of 'Holy Decree'. Anyway, now he is still the chief envoy, and it doesn't hurt for the juniors of Hongbo Mansion to make a little trouble, but if he really wants to take anyone away, Lord Hu will never agree.

Ren Churong smiled, his eyes were like crescent moons: "Thank you, Uncle Hu, Chu Rong Xiao is measured, please wait for a while." As he spoke, he bowed again, and when he got up again, his smile remained unchanged, and he looked at the queue: "Mr. Song Yang Song, please take a step to speak." ”

Lord Hu made a gesture and led the others to continue to advance, going down to the city gate and waiting for Song Yang to return.

When the mission team walked a little farther, Ren Churong stretched out his hand and pointed at Song Yang, who was standing alone in the same place, and shouted to his subordinates: "Hit him!" ”

A group of red wave guards pounced out like wolves, but they didn't even take their blades, Song Yang laughed when he saw this, his face was fearless, and he ran away.
