The body of Hua Langyue is the thousand-year-old corpse king, and the tomb exists in a group of mountains north of the mouth of the Lotus River.

Thousands of years ago, it used to be a prosperous capital city called Qiming City.

Qiming City is the capital of the Northern Cavalry Kingdom, and the people here are all princes and generals.

Hua Langyue is the only son of Hua Qiyuan, the first general of the Northern Riding Kingdom.

Hua Qiyuan has countless military exploits in his life, but he only marries one wife, has children in old age, is pampered, has practiced martial arts since childhood, has extraordinary talent, can ride a horse at the age of three, and can shoot arrows at the age of five.

But when it comes to uniqueness, it has to count his swordsmanship.

Hua Qiyuan studied swordsmanship all his life, and he taught him an only son.

At the age of 15, Hua Rongyue had already grown into a deputy general who could take charge of himself, and leading the Northern Expedition was even more victorious.

At the age of 18, he was canonized by the monarch as a general to protect the country, and the title inherited from his father and was supported by the country for generations.

But the young man's heart was stimulated.

This year, Hua Langyue was 19 years old.

Location, a small town not far from Qiming City.

The town is right on the Lotus River, and the scenery is very beautiful.

In another month, the war of the Northern Expedition will be started, and this war is also the first time that Hua Rongyue has been a general.

His father was 80 years old and could no longer fight, so his son succeeded his father and commanded the three armies.

And at the moment, he has a month's vacation.

The three armies were revised and military rations were prepared. And he also started his vacation in this town.

The town is not big, and there are some leisure people fishing here in the small harbor by the lake.

Hua Langyue usually has no hobbies, that is, practicing swords, and he immediately found a place under the willows and began to dance.

Dancing the sword in the early morning is a habit he has developed since childhood.

From time to time, people pass by and stop to watch, and some people who know how to swords will clap their hands and applaud, and even pick up branches to have a game.

Although the ending is a fiasco.

this day.

"Brother, do you like sword dancing very much?" A young woman didn't know when it started, leaning against the willows by the river, staring at Hua Langyue.

"Hehe, yes, it may be that I have sword intent flowing in my blood, if I don't touch this long sword for a day, my heart will itch and feel uncomfortable. Hua Langyue danced with her sword and turned her head to smile at the young woman from time to time.

The woman's green silk hangs down her shoulders, and she looks dusty in a light gauze, which is very beautiful.

"Brother, what are you learning swords for?" the woman asked again.

"Of course, it's to protect your own things, and there is nothing more important than protecting what you want to protect. Hua Langyue said without thinking.

Between the sword dances, the long sword in his hand brought up waves of qi, and the surrounding soil was stirred up from time to time.

The woman didn't seem to be surprised by this imposing sword intent, and still leaned lightly against Yang Liu and asked, "Protect what you want to protect?"

"Yes, what I want to protect is this country, this country has protected my home and allowed me to grow up to this day, and I have to protect it. Hua Rongyue added.

The woman didn't speak, just smiled and stared at the young man in front of her, as if she was in some kind of intoxication.

Hua Langyue continued to practice for two hours, but she was also a little tired, and wiped the sweat from her forehead after putting her sword into the sheath.

Only then did he find that the woman who had been chatting with him from time to time was gone.

"Hehe, what a strange girl. I don't know whose eldest lady it is, no one should recognize me when I'm on vacation here, right? Hua Rongyue shook her head, but she didn't care.

In this way, for a week, the woman came over every morning to watch the flower and the moon dance sword, but she never said anything again, just quietly leaned on the willow and looked at the person in front of her.

Hua Langyue doesn't need to care about this audience, after all, he has grown up in the stars since he was a child, and such a star never lacks eyeballs.

There are only two days left for a month's vacation.

Hua Rongyue didn't dance the sword today, and he didn't know why.

Maybe I'm used to the audience.

The woman doesn't seem to have come today, is she too early?

Looking at the shadows on the ground, it seemed that the time of my arrival was no different from that of a normal day.

"Brother, why don't you dance the sword today?"

Hua Rongyue was thinking about it, a nice voice came, he looked back, wasn't it that woman? It turned out that he was thinking too much. I don't know why, I care a little about this audience.

"Just as we were about to start, you're here again. ”

"Well, because I'm here for you. The woman walked under the willow tree that stood every day, returned to that position, leaned against the willow tree, and smiled from time to time at the flower that came to see him.

"Are you here for me? Hehe, I'm really honored. Hua Langyue turned over a few times and jumped in the air, and today he seems to have integrated some special feelings into the sword dance.

"Brother, you said that you were carrying a sword for protection, so would you participate in the Northern Expedition the day after tomorrow?"

Hua Langyue was shocked that this woman actually knew her identity. But why ask. So he said: "Why did the girl say this, since you know my identity, you should naturally know that I am the general of this battle." ”

"Yes, of course I do. General, is the Northern Expedition also a guardian?" the woman's tone was still the same, and she said lightly.

"The Northern Expedition is the meaning of the monarch, and this battle is imperative, and the Southern Barbarian State has invaded our dynasty many times. The monarch is now old, and he can't bear to cause external troubles after his crown prince succeeds to the throne. It will make us spend no expense to overthrow the barbarians and eliminate future troubles forever. Hua Langyue stopped her movements, wiped the sweat stains on her forehead, and said.

Do you know how many barbarians have resisted the invasion of the barbarians for you? The reason why your barbarians have stopped taking the initiative to provoke wars in the past few decades is because of the appearance of overseas bandits. "The young woman seems to know a lot.

"You're not from my court?"

The woman nodded.

"Hey, in fact, I have heard a little about the thieves, but I just listened to the words of the king, the thieves are less than five feet tall, thin as a monkey, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Hua Langyue said with a sigh.

"You and I are at war, and we must let that thief take advantage of the situation. General, did you ever think that your sword would ruin your country?" said the light-shirted woman as she walked up to Hua Rongyue in a few steps, staring up at his face slightly.

"The king's order is hard to disobey. ”

"This is not your original intention, your kendo will stop because of this, and you will ruin everything for you. The woman said again.

"Oh, you know kendo very well?" Hua Rongyue raised his eyebrows, this was not contempt, but he faintly felt that the woman in front of him was somewhat correct in what he said in a reasonable way.

The woman shook her head, not wanting to continue the conversation, leaving her back and slowly leaving.
