Lin Tong, the lord of Hongxia County, the youngest daughter of Hou Lin Yuanting of Daizhou, the sister of Princess Jiaping, the county lord is always loved, and his parents and brothers and sisters regard him as a treasure. In the first year of Dayong Longsheng, the twenty-fourth year of the Northern Han Dynasty, Princess Jiaping went to Qinzhou to help in the war, the barbarians attacked Yanmen very urgently, Shi Yuanting was sick, the second brother Cheng Yi died in battle, there was no owner in Daizhou, the lord stepped forward, led the people to resist the barbarians, although the lord was young, but the majesty and courage were not inferior to his father and sister, so he was supported by everyone as a general to resist the barbarians.

- "Yongshi; The Legend of Hongxia County

Lin Tong was dressed in red, standing on the head of Yanmen Pass, and quickly passed down the military order, ordering to resist the barbarians who attacked the city fiercely, although they did not have enough siege equipment, but with the courage and good fighting and the advantage of numbers, it still caused huge pressure on Yanmen Pass, in order to effectively kill and injure the enemy, Lin Tong accurately chose the time to cast the boiling water stone. The enemy's attacks became more and more fierce, although the barbarians were good at riding and shooting, but after many years of fierce battles with the Daizhou army, they also learned the skills of siege, the use of ladders and catapults made them more likely to break through, and even barbarians who were good at lassoes used ropes to climb the city. Lin Tong could feel that the barbarian forces were getting stronger and stronger, and presumably the barbarian tribes of the entire grassland had gathered to cooperate in attacking the city, breaking through the Yanmen Pass, driving straight in, and looting all the time, so as to tide over the difficulty of the lack of rations this spring. Finally, the barbarians who had suffered heavy losses began to retreat, Lin Tong breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that it would not be long before the barbarians would regroup their forces and come to attack, even so, they finally got a short rest, which was enough to comfort.

In order to boost morale, she has not taken a step down from the city tower for three consecutive days and three nights, and her red clothes are like flames, always burning on the city, inspiring the army to fight bloodily. Since the elder brother went out of the city and was ambushed, he was killed by an arrow in front of the pass, his father was ill, and the eldest brother Lin Chengyi could only fight, the army was slightly sloppy, and the surname was impulsive, and the generals in the army were worried, and they had to respect Lin Tong as the main general. This was originally an expedient measure, but who knew that Lin Tong supported the overall situation with a weak body, and commanding the battle was the way, not inferior to the generals of a hundred battles, so after a few days, the military and civilians of Daizhou had already regarded Lin Tong as the commander who could replace Lin Bi.

Speaking of which, although Lin Tong has never commanded a battle before, she is smart, likes to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and is very interested in the things of battlefield battles. After the incident in the East China Sea, Lin Tong suddenly grew up, and he was very attentive in military strategy, coupled with accompanying Lin Yuanting to command at Yanmen Pass a few days ago, with talent and humility, Lin Tong became a qualified commander in a short period of time. Even if there are some small mistakes, with the help of the uncles and brothers of the Daizhou Army, it is enough to make up for it, and Lin Tong was born astute and has a very proper grasp of the battlefield, which has made him the famous name of the county lord of Hongxia. Of course, Lin Tong didn't care about these at all at this moment, and he didn't realize that everyone had regarded her as a stand-in for her sister, and was just trying to think about how to deal with the barbarians.

Dragging heavy steps, Lin Tong ignored her tiredness, patrolled the city, inspected the defense, and comforted the wounded sergeant, until she finished handling the military affairs, she found a stomp, sat down against the city wall, wrapped her cloak around her body, hugged her knees with her hands, and prepared to take a nap. Not long after, Lin Tong had already fallen asleep, and at this moment, she naturally didn't know that there was a pair of eyes silently watching her.

The sergeants and Minzhuang guarding the pass are divided into two rounds, and this round has gone down to rest, and the sergeants and Minzhuang who have been rotated to guard the pass have begun to accept defense, and Daizhou Minzhuang is also trained according to military standards, organized into a corps, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner. Among them, there is a team that is a little different, their actions are obviously a little scattered, this is the Daizhou army requisitioned by the foreign county militia, every year when the barbarians invade, the Daizhou army will recruit the young and strong people from other counties here, and use the art of war to restrain them, one is worried that there are barbarians in it, and the other is to enhance the combat power, these people will be organized into a military brigade, and the old army of Daizhou will be the commander of the army, and the old army of Daizhou will be the chief of the army, and the brave will go to the pass to resist the enemy, and the weak and incompetent will carry the pulp and water below, and the old soldiers of Daizhou who are responsible for commanding and monitoring them are experienced warriors on the battlefield, These people can be cowardly and greedy, but they have absolutely no chance to exercise their duty of annihilation.

This is only about 100 people of the people are the young and strong people who are recruited this time, and they have no fear of going into battle to kill the enemy, so they will be sent to Guanshang to assist the Daizhou military and civilian defense, and the team name is Lin Yuanchong, who is Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old today, and is the son of the side sect of the Daizhou Lin family, if you talk about the generation, it is Lin Bi, Lin Tong's uncle, although the army is slightly mediocre, but after many years of bloody battles, he is an outstanding junior officer, and he is very careful, and he is the most suitable for commanding and monitoring these quite brave people from other counties. He commanded everyone to start arranging, although there was some disorder, but it was still within an acceptable range, and besides, these people were all good hands, and guarding the pass for a while could play a big role, so he was still quite satisfied. His eyes inadvertently fell on a mediocre-looking young man, Lin Yuanchong frowned slightly, this young man Wang Dalang is the person he pays the most attention to, although his performance is remarkable, although he is brave, but it cannot be compared with the Daizhou warriors, there is neither excessive fear nor abnormal performance of excitement and impulse for killing, but with the perception of many years of fighting, Lin Yuanchong always feels that there is a faint dangerous aura on his body, which makes him feel depressed every time he approaches this person's side.

Secretly paying attention to this young man without a trace, in fact, if you look closely, this young man's facial features are delicate and handsome, but somehow they are put together and become plain and ordinary, and there is a little feeling of dejection, his face is fair, and he seems to be a little weak, but his slightly rough skin and agile limbs let people know that he is not weak. Although it is said that he is not conspicuous, he often performs well in battle, obeys military orders, assists his comrades, and can defeat enemy warriors, which are the characteristics of people who have had a military career. He is usually silent, but at critical times, a sentence often has a deafening effect. All this made this young man who came to Yanmen a few days ago in the name of searching for relatives and friends and was requisitioned, covered with a layer of fog.

Of course, Lin Yuanchong would never believe that this young man was a barbarian, only seeing his hot hand when killing the enemy, and assisting him to command everyone calmly, unless the barbarians were fools, he would never send such a character undercover, instead of letting him lead the army to tackle the problem. Seeing the young man sitting there resting with his sword in his hand and his eyes slightly closed, this is again inconsistent with his identity, only a battle-hardened warrior knows how to do his best to maintain his strength in any leisure time, instead of looking out nervously like the other chicks, fearing that the enemy will attack. Lin Yuanchong retracted his gaze, no matter what strange the identity of this person was, as long as he was not a barbarian, it didn't matter, as for the future, he had to drive the barbarian away to have time to think about it.

Although his eyes were slightly closed, everything around him was reflected in his heart, and he was looking at the person who was heartfelt from the gap in his eyes, and Chiji was not as calm as he seemed on the surface. Just used some small disguise methods, a little modification of the facial features, so that the original handsome appearance lost its brilliance, deliberately did not show the edge, although in order to fight, it is inevitable to show some color in this team of 100 people, but I believe that Lin Tong, who commands all the Yanmen defenders, will not notice a small outsider. Chi Ji blended into the Daizhou Army in this way, Lin Tong's side, he naturally knew that it was not that no one was suspicious of him, but he knew something about Daizhou, and knew that as long as he didn't show signs that it might be a barbarian, no one would interrogate him in detail, and smiled slightly, and when the barbarians retreated, it didn't matter if the Daizhou Army wanted to settle accounts after the autumn. If Lin Tong was still alive at that time, even if he killed himself, he would have no regrets, if Lin Tong died, Chi Ji felt a pain in his heart, and believed that he would definitely go with her. In this case, why should he be cautious everywhere, anyway, although Gongzi hopes that he can go back to see him alive, Chiji himself does not have such extravagant hopes. Since he came to Daizhou, he can be said to have betrayed Gongzi in a sense, as a member of the Eight Horses, he will take the will of the Son as his own will, and the moment he chose to fight side by side with Lin Tong, his position as the head of the Eight Horses has been shaken. What's more, Dayong will not let Daizhou go to secession, the Yongjun army will definitely suppress Daizhou, and Chiji himself definitely does not want his sword to be stained with the blood of his beloved and his relatives.

After a while, Chi Ji was aroused, it was his turn to go up to monitor the enemy, he stood on the gate, his eyes were burning into the distance, but his hands were doing the same work repeatedly, taking out the sharp arrows in the quiver around him, from his waist to a gourd, and then taking out a square scarf, and taking out a pair of deerskin gloves from his arms and putting them on, and then pouring out the black liquid from the gourd, soaking the square towel, wiping the arrows with the square towel, his movements were sensitive and light, after the arrows were processed by him, the arrows showed gray black, And while he was doing this, a few young men around him tacitly blocked the eyes of others until he finished these tasks.

As soon as he tied the gourd back to his waist, a pleasant voice with a slightly hoarse voice came from behind him and asked, "What are you doing?" Chi Ji's heart trembled, but his movements did not lag at all, and he turned around and bowed down: "The villain is quenching poison on the arrow." ”

Lin Tongfeng said with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Why bother quenching poison, our army warriors, whose arrows can't take the enemy's surname immediately, quenching poison is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is not very useful." ”

Chi Ji said in a changed accent: "The villain is not a native of Daizhou, although he can also shoot arrows, but his strength is insufficient, and he is often unable to kill people when he penetrates the enemy's leather armor, so quenching poison on the arrow also increases the possibility of killing and injuring the enemy." ”

Lin Tong suddenly said: "I see! She said with interest: "Who are you, how can you make poison, it is very troublesome to quench poison like you, but there is a way to make a large amount of poison and quickly make poisoned arrows." Get up and speak, and don't kneel. ”

Hearing this, Chi Ji calmed down his emotions, stood up, lowered his head and said: "The villain Wang Dalang, it is You Fang Langzhong, and he also knows some medical skills, this poison is prepared by the villain, and the throat is sealed when he sees blood, but it is also very troublesome to use, and the poison on the arrow cannot last, so the villain will only quench the poison now." The county lord guards the pass, which requires a large number of arrows, and it is indeed time-consuming and laborious to make poisoned arrows. However, as far as the villain knows, Daizhou bow and arrow workshops abound, which have a large number of lacquer, the lacquer has its own poisonous surname, if the county lord let people soak bundles of arrows and arrows into the lacquer, and then dry, if such arrows are shot and injured, the wound must be itchy and swollen, and it is difficult to heal. ”

Lin Tong's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked carefully at the young man in front of him, only to see that although he was neither humble nor arrogant, he lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, and he didn't peek at himself, as if he was a very restrained person, but the words he said were with a faint murderous malice, which made people feel cold in their hearts, and couldn't help but say: "You raise your head." ”

Chi Ji raised his head slowly, Lin Tong looked at his face, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, the face in front of him was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember, she was about to ask again, and the guard behind her said: "County Lord, Old General Qi is here." Lin Tong relied very heavily on this father, and turned around to prepare to greet him. Halfway through, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her heart, and she already remembered that the appearance of this young man was actually similar to the person in her heart, but the difference in expression and bearing, as well as the difference in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, made her unable to remember for a while, the appearance is so similar, it can't be that person is Chiji, Lin Tong paused. For a moment, Lin Tong smiled mockingly, how could it be Chiji, Dayong Tiger swallowed mountains and rivers, Chu Xianghou is the glory of the scenery, he must be serving by the master's side, and the future is bright, how could he come to this dangerous Daizhou to fight with the barbarians, besides, since that person has the ability to fight in the Northern Han barbarians, he must have some tricks, how can he appear in front of him with a ninety percent similar face, and he doesn't even change his surname, why should he be cranky.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tong stopped, turned around and asked, "Wang Dalang, do you have compatriots and siblings?" ”

Chi Ji showed a look that seemed to be a little confused, and said, "Back to the county lord, the villain has no brothers and sisters. ”

Lin Tong said abruptly: "Yes." Turning around and continuing to walk forward, she quickened her pace, raised a smile, took a few steps to meet the old general Qi, and said with a smile: "Uncle Qi, can you please preside over the arrow and paint the arrow of the arrow in black?" ”

Looking at Lin Tong's agile back, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Chiji's mouth, before this departure, Gongzi once told himself that if he went to the battlefield, he would definitely not be able to pay attention to his appearance anytime and anywhere. Sure enough, even Lin Tong, who was most familiar with him in the Daizhou Army, was only suspicious, and immediately because he had too many "flaws", he would not think of his identity. Although Lin Tong would easily recognize himself if he got along for a long time, Chi Ji believed that Lin Tong might have a grudge against him, and he should deliberately avoid him. Although there is a faint sense of pride, Chi Ji also has a faint regret in his heart, the end of the world, what is more frustrating than this.

Half an hour later, when the quenched poisoned arrows were half ready, a barbarian figure covering the sky appeared outside the Yanmen Pass. After Chi Ji sent out the warning signal, a cold light flashed in his eyes, judging from the totems and costumes of the barbarian army this time, the eight major tribes on the prairie have all arrived, this time, the barbarians are ready to start a general attack. The barbarians lined up according to the tribes, and one of the tribes suddenly raised a golden banner painted with a black wolf totem, and a handsome young man wearing the yellow Khan King's costume raised his arm under the banner, and then an earth-shattering cry came from outside the Yanmen Pass, "Long live the Great Khan, long live the Great Khan!" Tens of millions of people shouted in unison, and everyone turned pale when the gate of the wild goose was closed. The golden wolf flag, the call of the Great Khan, this shows that the various departments that fell apart after the Central Plains army was defeated by the Central Plains army in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the appearance of the new Khan King shows that this time the barbarians are already bound to win Daizhou. Chi Ji can estimate that the barbarian army in front of him is 60,000 people, remembering that when he ran around the various departments on the grassland, the various departments really had a tendency to reconcile, and the handsome young man was originally the chief of the Grad Department, Wanyan Najin, he was famous for his prestige on the grassland, known for his wisdom and decisiveness, and his courage and good fighting, but most of the chiefs of the other departments were his father's contemporaries, and Chi Ji definitely did not expect that he would be able to dominate the grassland. Now that the barbarian Khan's court has been rebuilt, Daizhou is just their first goal, Chi Ji was thinking nervously, and there was a sound of the blade falling from his side, but it was a big man with him who was pale and frightened by the barbarian's voice.

Chi Ji frowned, looked around, even the Daizhou army couldn't help but look panicked, and was thinking about how to boost morale, Lin Tong jumped lightly, had already jumped on a wall and stomped on it, pointed to the barbarian Wang Qi and said loudly: "Are you all scared, these barbarians have scared your guts, you listen, after the Yanmen Pass, it is our family flesh and blood, the Daizhou warriors who are standing here wielding knives, your parents, wives and children are watching you from behind, now the imperial court is competing with Dayong for territory, we have no reinforcements outside Daizhou, and the inside is empty, Except for us, no one can protect themselves, if the barbarians break through the Yanmen Pass, Daizhou will turn into a hell between Chengren and Ren, are you men not as good as me A little woman who is in battle for the first time, even if we die, it is better to die than to watch my father and fellow villagers die under the butcher's knife. ”

Lin Tong's fiery anger and heartfelt words made everyone look ashamed, and the old general Qi raised his arms and said loudly: "The county lord is still so brave, we are dignified men, will we still be greedy for life and fear death." Unless none of my Daizhou men die, the barbarians will not want to break through Yanmen. I will not retreat from the fight to the death, and I am invincible. Everyone was in high spirits, and they all shouted: "I will not retreat from the fight to the death, I am invincible." The sudden upsurge in momentum in the city made the barbarians who were shouting long live look at each other and couldn't help but stop shouting.

At this time, under the banner of the king, the king of the Khan Wanyan Najin trusted, as soon as he raised his hand, a personal guard handed over a giant bow more than one person high, Wanyan Najin rode out of the battle, everyone only felt a flower in front of them, Wanyan Najin had already gone out of the battle alone, and galloped to a position close to Yanmen Pass 500 steps, and opened the bow and shot arrows between breaths, and the three wolf tooth arrows were connected end to end, shooting at Lin Tong who was standing at a high place like a phantom. Almost instantly, the first wolf tooth had approached Lin Tong, Lin Tong turned over and fell, avoided the first wolf tooth, pulled out the waist knife, and wanted to block the second wolf tooth, the wolf tooth was extremely strong, Lin Tong only felt that his arm was numb, and the wolf tooth actually shot through the hundred steel knife, but the third wolf tooth was less than ten steps away from Lin Tong, but Lin Tong could no longer move his body, seeing that the wolf tooth was about to penetrate Lin Tong's delicate body.

In the exclamation of everyone, as if through endless time, a feather arrow suddenly appeared and shot the wolf tooth arrow, but the strength was obviously far apart, the feather arrow rebounded and fell, everyone was eager to become empty, and couldn't help but lament in unison, who knew that at the moment when the first feather arrow rebounded, the slightly deviated wolf tooth was shot to the body of the arrow by the second feather arrow, and then, the third, the fourth, until the fifth, the five feather arrows were almost a little apart from each other to shoot the powerful wolf tooth in turn, and the water drops pierced, The wolf's tooth arrow was finally redirected, swept past Lin Tong's cheek, and brought up a wisp of blood, piercing deep into the city wall behind.

Although the strength of these five arrows is not strong, the accuracy and speed are rare in the world. Not only did the Daizhou army shout like thunder, but even the barbarians outside Yanmen Pass also heard the sound of praise. Lin Tong fell to the ground, several guards had already protected her with heavy shields, Lin Tong didn't care about the slight scars on the jade cheeks, and looked at the young man who was about to shoot dozens of steps away, one bow and five arrows, no matter what changes he made this time, Lin Tong had already recognized his identity, two lines of clear tears fell, and they were dried by the wind on the closed Yanmen in an instant, Lin Tong shouted softly and resolutely: "Chiji!" ”

Chi Ji smiled slightly bitterly, after his identity was revealed, he didn't need to hide it anymore, he casually took out a pill from the treasure bag on his waist and crushed it, wiped it on his face, removed the small amount of disfigurement medicine, and then smiled calmly: "Lord Hongxia, it's gone." added a bit of handsome appearance, as well as a chic and handsome, slightly cynical smile, which made him instantly reborn and stand out from the crowd. Everyone couldn't help but sigh, such a change in the fish and dragon made them feel like a dream.

Only Lin Tong said without surprise: "Why are you here?" Dayong has the upper hand, why do you need to be an undercover agent, what the hell does your master have in mind? ”

Everyone looked at Chi Ji in shock, and the gratitude in their hearts immediately turned into doubts, he was Dayong's secret spy, and now Princess Bi is fighting against Dayong, how can this person have any good intentions. The requisitioned young men standing beside Chi Ji retreated, and the Daizhou army slowly surrounded them, but this person had just saved Lin Tong, and those people hesitated in their hearts, and they didn't want to do it immediately, so they all looked at Lin Tong.

At this time, Wanyan Najin's eyes flashed in the eyes of Wanyan Najin, who had been taken back to the camp by the guards, although it was a long distance, but standing at the head of the Yanmen Pass, the person who read alone, was clearly a person he knew, he said loudly: "Who does this king think, it turns out to be Mr. Bole Divine Doctor, although you are also from the Central Plains, but you are famous in my grassland, in the past, on the vast grassland, the chiefs of all departments treat you as a guest, you are not a native of the Northern Han Dynasty, rather than being regarded as an enemy above, it is better to come to serve under the king's account, this king is willing to treat you like a brother and brother, Glory and wealth, women's gold silk, let you take it at will, what do you think? ”

He surrendered so openly, and there was a faint hint of instigation in his tone, even those young men from other counties who were not very hostile couldn't help but clench their blades and look at Chi Ji with a tigerish gaze.

Chi Ji smiled slightly bitterly, turned around and looked down, and said in a loud voice: "Chief Wanyan, in the past, I went down to your Gel Department, and was treated well by you, I cured my beloved horse for you, and you taught me the art of riding and archery, and you and I friends intersected, and the affection was not shallow." However, personal feelings can't harm justice, I was originally a native of Southern Chu, and now I am a citizen of Dayong, which has nothing to do with the Northern Han Dynasty, but whether it is Dayong, Northern Han or Southern Chu, they are all in the Central Plains, and the Han family is orthodox. Today, if you are the king of the Khan who travels to my Central Plains, you will definitely treat each other with courtesy and treat you as a distinguished guest, but now you are waving your army south and invading the land of my Han family, and you are my enemy. However, in the next reading of the friendship of the past, persuade the Khan King, now my Central Plains is about to be unified, although the Khan King is brave, but not my Dayong enemy, if the Khan King really thinks about the grassland departments, it is better to stop the army and stop the war, so as not to turn the ambition into ashes, and the grassland blood into a river. ”

Wanyan Najin sneered: "It's not a matter of time for the Central Plains to fall apart, and now it's a civil war, where is there still the strength to stop my army from going south, this king is not greedy, as long as you take Daizhou, let the people of the Central Plains be powerless to stop my iron horse, if you don't surrender, don't blame the king's subordinates for being ruthless." ”

Chi Ji smiled coldly, took out a feather arrow, folded it into two sections, and said loudly: "Today, I swear to break the arrow, you and I are gracious, although the Khan King came to attack Yanmen, I will die under the Khan's arrow, and I will die without complaint, but if the Khan King dies in my hands, don't blame me for being wrong." ”

Wanyan Najin raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "You are killing yourself, no wonder this king has started to attack the city!" Under his order, the barbarian army rushed towards Yanmen Pass.

After Chi Ji said this, he looked back, he was worried in his heart, he didn't know if these people would be able to accept him to fight side by side with them, as soon as he turned around, a bag of feather arrows was stuffed into his hand, he saw Lin Yuanchong's enthusiastic smile, looked up, everyone's eyes were warm, Chi Ji only felt tears, but he couldn't speak. Everyone looked at Lin Tong, after all, whether Chi Ji could stay or not still had to be decided by Lin Tong. Lin Tong turned his face away and said lightly: "Don't go to defend the city yet, the barbarians are coming up." Chi Ji was excited in his heart, holding his bow and arrow tightly, and tears rolled down.

At this time, Wanyan Najin sighed softly, he knew a lot about that Wang Ji, and when he met in the past, he felt that this person was talented, but unfortunately although he was ambitious at that time, he was hindered by the lack of strength, and he could not openly force the Bole Divine Doctor, who was respected by everyone on the grassland, and could only accept it with affection. This time, he took advantage of the serious damage to the various ministries, and took the opportunity to use the hoarded grain to control the various ministries, forcing them to form a bloody alliance, rebuild the Khan court, and restore the glory of the Wanyan family in the past, but Wang Ji had disappeared without a trace at that time. When Wang Ji rescued Lin Tong and sabotaged his prestige, he was angry in his heart, and wanted to use the contradiction between him and the defenders of Yanmen to ruin this person, so as not to have a bad impact on his plan to attack the state, but unfortunately it fell short. Aren't the people of the Central Plains the most fond of infighting, Wanyan Najin thought a little depressed.
