Looking at Jiang Shaobai's departing back, there was still a trace of cold air left in the wind, Yang Ming stood in place with a blank face, not knowing why, and even a little angry.

"What do you mean? asked me some inexplicable questions, and said that he would definitely win me? What does Childe Jiang Shaobai want to do?" Recalling what Jiang Shaobai said just now, Yang Ming was very puzzled in his heart, so he muttered complainingly.

Xin'er on the side heard the young man's complaint, her little face was a little heavy, she looked up at Jiang Shaobai's distant back, the girl slowly walked in front of Yang Ming, and then said to him: "Yang Ming, you must be very confused by the question that Brother Wang just asked, what he said, right? However, I understand what Brother Wang means." ”

Xin'er paused slightly, and then she raised her serious little face, and there was suddenly a heavy color in her eyes, looking at the girl's solemn appearance, Yang Ming was slightly startled, and then straightened up, and her face became much more serious.

Xin'er said to Yang Ming: "Yang Ming, have you heard the story of my brother Wang? Actually, Jiang Shaobai is not the child of my father Wang, nor is he really my brother Wang, he was actually born in a family of Jiangmen, and is the youngest son of the former hussar general General Ding......

Xin'er told Yang Ming about Jiang Shaobai's life experience: Jiang Shaobai is not a Jiang royal family, his original surname is Ding, and he is the youngest son of General Ding, the former hussar general of Jiang State, and the son of Jiangmen. It happened seven years ago, when because of the border dispute, Rongguo brazenly launched a war against Jiang, the war just began, Jiangguo because of lack of preparation, successive defeats, Rongguo's army took the opportunity to break through the border pass of Jiang, invaded the territory of Jiang, at that time Rongguo's army was in full swing, wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, vowed to occupy the entire Jiangguo in one fell swoop.

More than 30,000 soldiers of the Rongguo army, after capturing the border pass, quickly advanced to the hinterland of Jiang, and within two days, they successively captured 15 cities of Jiang, a total of 32 cities of Jiang, and almost half of the country's land fell. The Rongguo army was like a bamboo, and continued to press towards the capital of Jiang Guoguo, and the Rongjun army soon hit the "Fengyang City", which was the last barrier to protect the capital of Jiang Guo, once the "Fengyang City" was lost, the Rongjun army could drive straight into the national capital. The national capital is in danger, the palace is in danger, and Jiang Guo has also reached a critical moment of life and death. At that time, it was General Jiang Guohussar and General Ding Tai who guarded "Fengyang City". He gathered the defeated Jiang soldiers in front of him, a total of 3,000 soldiers, all of whom gathered in "Fengyang City" and prepared to defend the city to the death.

The city is in the people, and the city is dead!

General Ding Tai personally led the soldiers, fought bloodily, and defended the "Fengyang City" to the death, preventing the invalids from crossing the city one step. The 30,000 troops of the invalids besieged the "Fengyang City" for a whole month, they exhausted all kinds of methods, and even set fire to the city, the invalids destroyed the city wall during the day, and at night, the soldiers of Jiang Guo repaired the city wall with bricks and stones, so attacked for a month, but the invalids were slow to break through the city gate.

At this time, taking advantage of the Invalids' siege of "Fengyang City", Jiang Guo was able to breathe, and the general Liu Chen reorganized the army, and at the same time, Jiang Guo received An Shice's advice and help, and Jiang Guo's soldiers successfully went around the back of the invalids, launched a surprise sneak attack, burned their baggage grain, and defeated the invalids. In the end, the Invalids army was completely defeated, and most of the 30,000 troops lost most of them, and in the end there were less than 10,000 people left, and they fled from Jiang in disgrace.

And when General Liu Chen led the reinforcements to arrive at "Fengyang City", he was stunned by the scene in front of him, the city wall had been damaged for most of the time, and several large holes were broken, supported by a few wooden planks, and next to the wooden planks were the corpses of dozens of Jiang soldiers, they died, but their hands were still tightly supporting the planks. Walking into the city, climbing the city wall, there are corpses of soldiers everywhere, blood stains the city wall red, new blood, old blood, red, and blackened by the fire, all kinds of miserable colors stain the ground, "Fengyang City" has become a dead city.

Liu Chen hurriedly looked for the trace of General Ding Tai, but when he found it, General Ding Tai had already died in battle, his body stood on the city wall, like a monument that could not be broken, he held the flag of Jiang Guo's fierce horse in his right hand, his eyes were wide open, and he was glaring straight ahead, and when he approached, it seemed that he could still hear him giving the order to the soldiers to "hold the city".

"General Ding, we won, and the Rongguo people were defeated. Liu Chen closed his eyes for General Ding Tai with tears in his eyes and ordered his body to be returned to the national capital.

In the battle of "Fengyang City", the three thousand soldiers who guarded the city, only a dozen people survived in the end, and the defending general, General Ding Tai, sacrificed his life for the country, not only that, but also his three sons and two younger brothers, all of whom died in Fengyang City. The boys of the Ding family, except for Jiang Shaobai, who was only seven years old at the time, stayed at home, and all sacrificed for the country. What loyalty!

If General Ding Tai had not led 3,000 soldiers to fight a bloody battle against "Fengyang City," defended the city to the death, and dragged the invalids with their lives for more than a month, I am afraid that the national capital would have fallen long ago, and Jiang Guo would have perished! It can be said that it was General Ding Tai and the 3,000 Jiang soldiers who saved Jiang Guo.

Ding Tai, along with the remains of his family, was sent back to the national capital. When hearing the bad news that Ding Tai and his three sons were killed in battle, Ding Tai's wife was heartbroken, and after Ding Tai's body was sent back to the house, Mrs. Ding died in front of the tablet, and followed her husband to Huangquan together. King Jiang deeply felt the loyalty of the Ding family, and gave "a loyal martyr", and held a state funeral for General Ding Tai, and the whole city was vegetarian.

Pity Jiang Shaobai, who was only seven years old at the time, lost his father, brother, uncle, and finally his mother at a young age. King Jiang remembered the loyalty of the Ding family and his contribution to saving the country, so he brought him back to the palace, accepted him as a righteous son, and gave him the surname Jiang. This is Jiang Guogongzi, Jiang Shaobai!

"When my brother came into the palace, he was only seven years old, and I was only five years old, and I was too young to know anything, but my father had found a new brother to play with me. When I went to greet my new brother with joy, he was sad and had tears in the corners of his eyes, but by the next day there was no sadness on his face and no tears in his eyes, only indifference and perseverance like ice. Xin'er recalled the scene when Jiang Shaobai had just entered the palace and said.

Since then, Brother Wang has never cried or laughed again, and there are only two things he does every day, reading and cultivating. It's like eating and sleeping, no matter how hot or cold it is, for years, he has never stopped. I have never seen anyone who works harder than Brother Wang, and the people in the academy say that Brother Wang is a rare genius in the Martial Arts Academy in a hundred years, but only I know that in fact, Brother Wang is not a genius, he just works harder than others, ten times harder, a hundred times. Every day before dawn, he got up to study and practice, a seven-year-old child, he beat the stone with his fist a thousand times, kicked the stone pillar a thousand times a day, his hands were broken, his feet were rotten, Brother Wang never complained, he has been silently endured. Later, Brother Wang successfully entered the Martial Arts Academy, and it was a blockbuster, and everyone thought that Brother Wang was a genius from heaven, a rare genius, but I know how much blood and tears Brother Wang paid for this day, which was the deposition of five years of hard work. With tears in her eyes, the girl continued.

"At that time, I didn't understand why Brother Wang worked so hard, but when I grew up, after listening to my father talk about Brother Wang's life experience, I understood that Brother Wang has been working hard to become stronger in order to protect Jiang Guo. His father, his brothers, gave up their lives to defend the country. For the sake of Jiang Guo, Brother Wang can't lose, and he won't lose, because Brother Wang has the entire Jiang Country behind him. Yang Ming, I know you are very strong, you are a real genius, but, this time, I don't think you can win against Brother Wang. ”

Xin'er hid her tears and told Yang Ming everything.

After listening to Xin'er's words, Yang Ming was stunned, he stood in place for a long time, for a long time......

The young man understood, why Jiang Shaobai asked himself such a question, "Why do you want to become stronger?", Yang Ming is to reach the top and become the strongest, but Jiang Shaobai is different, he is not for himself, he is for Jiang Guo, in order to protect Jiang Guo, he must become stronger.

Generally speaking, it is better to take the initiative than to be forced, because you are willing, and he is a little "forced to be helpless". However, on the road to becoming stronger, between life and death in battle, "forced helplessness" can burst out with amazing strength, because Jiang Shaobai has no way out, he must become stronger, this "helplessness" can force him to stimulate all his potential, practice diligently, and when fighting, it can make him fight to the death.

Some people say that when you want to protect a person, you can inspire unprecedented power and make you stronger, and when you want to protect a country and protect thousands of people, this is "thousands" times the power.

This night, Yang Ming was lying in bed, but he had no intention of sleeping, compared with Jiang Shaobai, he suddenly felt that he was a selfish and narrow-minded "villain", Jiang Shaobai had the country in mind, and I was just for myself, in fact, Yang Ming also thought about Jiang Guo in his heart, and he also knew the feelings of serving the country, but it was not as strong as Jiang Shaobai.

At this time, Zu Ze noticed that the young man was confused, so he showed his body, he floated in front of the young man, and said: "Young master, you don't want Jiang Shaobai to have such a strong feeling of serving the country, this is also inevitable, because you are not Jiang Guoren." You are the descendant of the family, you want to become stronger, in order to revive the family, your heavy responsibilities are no lighter than Jiang Shaobai's. ”

Listening to Zu Ze's comforting words, Yang Ming was not relieved at all, he shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "This is different." Zu Ze, the family you told me is too far away, too ethereal, and I have never had it. I don't even remember the family you talked about, or my parents. However, Jiang Guo is real to Jiang Shaobai, it is his home, it is the home that his father and brothers guarded with their lives, those memories are deeply engraved in his mind, motivating him to keep getting stronger, motivating him to win, this is not something I can compare with. ”

Saying that, Yang Ming couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "Zu Ze, I'm really messy and nervous now, I even feel scared, I don't think I can win against Jiang Shaobai." ”
