"There are righteous people in the Kanto region, and they raise troops to fight against the murderers. In the early days, the alliance was in Jin, and the heart was in Xianyang. The forces of the army were uneven, and they hesitated and walked wildly. Snobbery makes people fight, and heirs fight each other. The title of Huainan brother is engraved in the north. The armor is full of lice, and all surnames die. The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines. ”

Cao Mengde, the master of the Three Kingdoms, traveled in a poem of Artemisia, which exhausted the tragic scene of the conquest of the candidates in that era and the vast world.

On the border of Yanzhou County, across the Niujiaozi Mountain from Tangling County, it is a barren land.

This desert area, which is about 300 miles wide, not only has no grass, but also has no water source, so there are no people living there at all, and there are no living creatures. Here, it is Jiwutan, and the name of Jimingtan is taken from Cao Mengde's artemisia line.

One end of Jiming Beach is connected to Niujiaozi Mountain in Qian County, and on the other side, it is connected to Dongping Mansion in Yanmen County.

Dongping Mansion is the real border, Dongping Mansion is one hundred and twenty miles forward, is Yanmen Pass, out of Yanmen, it is out of the Tang Dynasty's boundary.

"I don't like it here, why did I come here!"

Standing on a rock on the edge of Niujiaozi Mountain, looking at the pale desert, Tie Jun asked puzzled.

"Isn't it good to come out and relax?" is still a gray coat, no different from when he first came to Tanglin two years ago, but Tie Jun can still feel it, his mental state is much better than two years ago, and it doesn't seem like the feeling of decadence and death, but it's usually silent and tight, sometimes the gods are chattering, and I don't know what Lu Dao is doing, and only in front of himself can he let go of some, but this kind of letting go always gives Tie Jun a little headache, because he always makes some weird behaviors in front of him, The whole child is a typical example of a young man in the first and second B.

"Scattered, if I have this time, I can practice my marksmanship again!" Tie Jun's dedication to martial arts is incomprehensible to Xie Bai, just as Tie Jun is incomprehensible to Xie Bai's hatred, isn't she just a woman, as for being like this?

"I've heard that the way of martial arts is relaxed one by one, has the owner recently encountered a bottleneck in cultivation, and is a little nervous, this is not good, it is not conducive to the breakthrough of martial arts!"

"I'm in some trouble!" Tie Jun smiled bitterly and rubbed his head, it had been two years since he broke through to a third-rate master.

He completely stabilized his cultivation, and even had a good growth, and the galloping power of fifteen fierce horses allowed him to sit firmly in the position of the top ten masters of Dengzhou Mansion.

The so-called where there are people there are disputes, this year there are endless martial artists, martial arts is changing with each passing day, there are more people, there are more good deeds, in the past, the ranking of martial arts masters in this kind of place is only in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains will come out, but now it is gradually spread to this remote house, almost every prefecture has good people fiddling with this ranking, but there are many martial artists, but the masters are very few, so generally speaking, that is, the scope of a prefecture can get enough masters, so, The ranking of such masters is generally based on the county government, and there are generally only ten of them.

What are the top ten masters of a certain county, the top ten masters of a certain prefecture!

Tie Jun defeated Gao Jing, the eighth-ranked Changkong Arrow Gao Jing in Dengzhou Mansion a year ago, and successfully squeezed into the top ten masters, with a prominent reputation.

Changkong Arrow Gao Jing, is the guy who clashed with Tie Jun in Niujiaozi Mountain two years ago, a master with the galloping power of eighteen fierce horses, and Liu Heng, the founder of the Iron Plate, is also known as the two generals under Jiang Kun under the command of Jiang Kun, and the archery is superb, and he is famous in Dengzhou Mansion.

However, because of the matter of the secret scroll of the supernatural powers, he has not dealt with Tie Jun, and from time to time he will secretly stumble on Tie Jun, and Tie Jun is not a person who is easy to back down, the anger between the two is very great, which makes Jiang Kun a headache, after appeasing him a few times, he really can't be appeased, so he has to agree that the two of them will solve the problem in the way of martial artists, and whoever loses will retreat.

The result was very unexpected, Gao Jing was defeated, and Tie Jun took this opportunity to squeeze into the so-called top ten masters.

Then he felt the great inconvenience and benefit that fame had brought him.

Over the course of the next year, he faced six challenges, but they also honed his martial arts. In particular, his sword technique has improved rapidly, and he has already fused the battlefield knife technique of the night battle Bafang and Chen Jiu with his own Five Tigers Broken Door Knife.

He has shown great talent and interest in martial arts, and his favorite thing to do now is to drill into the Crouching Tiger Village in the Niujiaozi Mountain, of course, now it is called Crouching Tiger Village to practice, and it is ten days and half a month to go, and he didn't even go to the Captain's Mansion, and he threw all the affairs to Xie Bai, the master, anyway, Xie Bai is extremely capable, and he can rest assured that he will throw things to himself, Xie Bai is indeed very good, and he has no complaints about all this, just burying his head in his own affairs to do his best, As if he wanted to resolve the grief in his heart with heavy work, of course, perhaps for him, the work of Tanglin, a small county, could not be called heavy in any case.

But early yesterday morning, the master, who had always been dedicated and responsible, threw down the matter in his hand, spent a day, entered Niujiaozi Mountain, ran to Crouching Tiger Villa, pulled himself out, and followed a path in Niujiaozi Mountain through this small mountain range, and came here, and then he lay on a big rock like a dead dog and stuck out his tongue for half the night before recovering.

"The owner knows, where is the other side of this Jiming Beach?"

"Dongping Mansion!" Tie Jun Dao, knowingly asked, this is not a secret, people with a little common sense know it.

"Yes, Dongping Mansion, but do you know who is in charge of this Jiming Beach? Is it Dongping Mansion or Dengzhou Mansion? ”

"Here?!" Tie Jun was stunned, looked at the barren Jiming Beach, turned his head and asked, "Are you interested here?" "Two years of contact has given him a deep understanding of this second B young man, this is a wilted guy with a bad belly, who has always been a thief, and pulling himself here is by no means to let him see the scenery of Jiming Beach, such a character, I don't know how Lu Dao was yin by others back then, I can only say that there is a mountain and a mountain high.

"Jiming Beach is Dengzhou Mansion in the south, Dongping Mansion in the north, and Moyunling in the east, there is no problem with these three sides, the key is the west, his west is actually bordering the Tara Desert, and the border of the Tara Desert is the end!"

"And?!" Tie Jun looked puzzled, he had never heard of this, "It's not the state capital of the Tang Dynasty, right?" ”

"And the end is one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, not the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions?" Tie Jun was a little stunned, he didn't expect this.

In Chen Jiu's memory, although the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions claim to be countries, they are all barbarians, and a country is at most similar to a government in the Tang Dynasty, with a small population and no powerful figures.

"Even if it's the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, so what?" Tie Jun still didn't understand, to the west, there were more than a thousand miles of land, too far, could it be that he had taken a fancy to this road.

Sure enough, I listened to Xie Baidao, "Although Jiming Beach is desolate, there are no checkpoints along the way, and the sixteen countries of the Western Regions are rich in spices and jewelry, and they can be transported to Datang through Jiming Beach, but they can make a big deal." ”

Smuggle!!

"In this way, Brother Xie has taken a fancy to this trade route!" Tie Jun smiled bitterly, "However, this trade route is nearly thousands of miles away, and it is in a desert area, so it is not easy to swallow it!" ”

Xie Bai glanced at Tie Jun strangely and said, "The owner really has such a big appetite, he actually wants to swallow this business road!" ”

"Ugh!!"

Tie Jun blinked, as if he realized that he had said something very stupid, the road of Jimingtan seems to be difficult, but as long as you are fully prepared, from west to east, it will be a month or two at most, and there is no checkpoint in the middle to collect taxes, it can be said that it is a golden channel, and it is impossible for such a passage to be unattended.

"This road is controlled by the northern border army, and no one else can interfere in it, except for the bandits in Jiming Beach!"

"I see, so what do you want?" Tie Jun was puzzled for a moment, Bian Jun, that is an existence that is countless times more powerful than the six gates.

If the six doors are the police, then the border army is the army, and it is also the kind of field army, the two are not on the same order of magnitude at all, and Tie Jun's knowledge in the past two years is also broad, and he knows how high the sky is and how thick the ground is.

In the six gates, an innate qi refiner like Zhu Lao is already regarded as an elder, and he is offered as a living ancestor, but in the army, a general is taken out at random, and they are all innate qi refiners, if you don't have innate strength, don't be a general, otherwise, you will be hacked alive as soon as you go to the battlefield, this is a system that emphasizes strength more than the six doors, and it is also a more unreasonable than the six doors

system, so Tie Jun doesn't want to provoke, at least not now.

"After a while, a batch of goods will be shipped, and I want to tell the owner to intercept this batch of goods!"

"Wouldn't it?!"

Tie Jun was thinking about the strength of the border army just now, and when he suddenly said something from this person, he suddenly had an urge to beat him up.

"Brother Xie is joking with me, I'm going to touch the goods of the border army with this crop, it's just looking for death!!"

"It's not the goods of the army, it's the goods of the merchants!" Xie Bai corrected, "The border army just controls the entire trade route in their hands, and all the goods that pass through this trade route must pay fees to the border army, which is actually equivalent to paying taxes to the border army in a centralized manner, although it is much heavier than the normal tax rate, but because it only needs to be paid once, so in general, the oil and water are still very rich, so many merchants will choose this trade route, going back and forth between the Tang Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions, it is precisely because of this prosperous trade route that there are often bandits." ”

"So you're going to let me make a cameo appearance as a bandit?!" Tie Jun said unhappily, he is an official of the imperial court, and it is really a loss of official reputation to let him make a cameo appearance as a bandit.
