The rising country, which has suffered an unprecedented virus, did not fall, but collapsed with a bang, driven by careerists.

It's not just this country that is divided, the whole world is at the tipping point of falling apart, everyone is staring at the food in other people's mouths, and the whole human race is standing on the edge of the cliff, and someone is about to push it gently.

The New Year of the old calendar has not yet arrived, and on February 1 of the new calendar year, the snow finally stopped in Shuofang Province.

Ningdong Town, which is located less than 300 kilometers outside the capital of the Star Moon Divine Kingdom and belongs to the jurisdiction of Shuofang Lingzhou City, was the first military town of Shuofang in ancient times.

The town is surrounded on all sides by zero-hour earthen walls, which are filled with scrap cars and sand, and are so rammed that they look like a thick earthen bag from a distance.

The dry cold wind kept blowing the old clothes on the windows in all directions, and then fell on the simple barracks playground, on the heads of the soldiers who were training, and the whole world had only such a little color, and the whole world was a white and vast land.

In the winter of the frozen ground, when the snow stops, it means that you can go out to forage for food and make a sacrifice, and today is a day that is warmly welcomed by the sergeants, and the beating fire from last night to the present seems to be the desire in everyone's eyes.

At least Ma Mengxiang's eyes were flashing with strong longing at the moment.

As the highest military governor of Ningdong Town, his attitude at this time was very humble, although he was a little dissatisfied with the dirty footprints on the only clean blanket, but he successfully transformed that dissatisfaction into the surprise and stunned arrival of the distinguished guest in an instant.

He looked closely at the dirty white robes next to the table, and he knew that this was a silk silk man's robe that could only be worn by the Pope of God and nobles, and it had a specific name, called "Distash", such as wearing a white robe with a white hat or a turban, called "Kufiye".

The color of ordinary people's hats is mostly white, which is at the lowest level, but in addition to the highest level of black, the few people in front of him are in a green and only a red hat, it seems that the status of the old man will not be lower than that of the four royal families, and he is the existence of a precedent.

Ma Mengxiang has nothing to do with the Ma family, one of the four major royal families, and is not a believer in the Star Moon Alliance, but just takes their salaries and guards this area for them.

He whispered in a pleasantly humble tone: "Respected preacher, I don't know what other needs you have, if you insist on setting off tomorrow, then you can send a centurion of centurions to serve as a guard at any time, and I will immediately send a telegram to register at the military headquarters." ”

The old man in the red hat waved his hand and smiled gently, and pointed his finger to the inside of the military tent, indicating that he had no opinion.

At this moment, an indifferent and arrogant female voice came out of the military tent: "No need, just do a good job of guarding the town, don't think about it." ”

Early this morning, just as everyone was about to go out to look for mutated game, the other party's convoy broke into Ningdong Town with ice crystals, and Ma Mengxiang didn't take much time to guess the identity of the nobleman in the Spin RV, so he had no opinion on the other party's indifference and arrogance, and he didn't dare to have an opinion.

The people in the tent were silent for a moment, and the figures were crowded, and they suddenly spoke: "From Ningdong to Wangting Dragon City, I am afraid that the highway near Helan Mountain will be completely blocked by heavy snow, and the road will be difficult to navigate...... You find me a local sergeant to act as a guide. ”

Ma Mengxiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a certain hateful guy, and after a moment of silence, he realized that it seemed very impolite to look at the tent directly, and immediately lowered his head and said, "There is a good candidate..."

......

In the kitchen of the barracks, several lieutenants stopped their lives and looked at each other, although the expressions on their faces were different, but they all showed a strange feeling, it was obvious that they did not expect that Ma Mengxiang would assign that person to be a guide for the nobles.

"General, are you really going to send that guy away?" One of the lieutenants asked in surprise.

Ningdong Town originally had more than 5,800 residents and nearly 1,000 soldiers, but after the energy base and oil fields stopped production due to equipment and personnel problems, they underwent another major transfer, and now there are only 500 people, of which 200 are soldiers, and the so-called general is just a major.

However, Ma Mengxiang's prestige is very great, and his temper is also very great, he likes others to call him a general, so even in front of his henchmen, they will call him the word general.

Ma Mengxiang wiped the ice ballast on his cheeks, looked at the vast white expanse outside the window, and sighed with emotion: "You can't drag him to die in the loess snow with us!" A few months ago, I went to beat people in Qinchuan and went to the county town, clamoring that the Guanzhong Plain could be included in the territory in March, but now the fart benefits have not been reaped, and the people are not returning together, and millions of heads are left there to build a Beijing view for others! Anyway, if you send him to Xingqing City, you should leave a seed for the Ningdong Army, and there is the identity of that nobleman as a pass along the road, so he won't be blackmailed and killed, right? ”

"I don't think that star and moon nobleman is a good lord, just the temper of a pony...", the second lieutenant said angrily.

The iron door of the kitchen behind everyone was pushed open, and the cold wind poured in at once, and just as everyone was about to scold, a maid wearing a black robe and mask looked at them and said coldly and arrogantly; "Take me to the guide."

In the end, it is the person next to the nobles, although Ning Dong can't supply resources now, but it is the frontier of the empire, and Major Tama can be regarded as a frontier officer, and this maid spoke to him with a proud tone.

Ma Mengxiang didn't ask much for the nobleman, and immediately called a soldier who was chopping garlic and told him to take the maid to find someone.

A few months of heavy snow stopped, there was no one to clean the snow everywhere along the way, making it extremely inconvenient for people to travel, at this time some people remembered the good days at the beginning, although they made less money, but after all, they were Taiping people, and it was understandable to be a Taiping dog, and now they didn't want to be the people of the Star Moon Divine Kingdom, but they lost their cars and highways, trains and high-speed rails, and they couldn't go out of a radius of dozens of kilometers with a life, so they could only stay where they were.

Although it was difficult to walk, fortunately, Ningdong Town was not big, and after walking a few steps, she arrived at her destination, which was a small store converted into an extremely simple but extremely lively outpost.

Before he entered, he heard a chaotic and noisy shouting sound from inside the iron gate, the maid frowned slightly, it is forbidden to drink alcohol up and down the stars and moons, is there still a sergeant who dares to violate the ban in broad daylight?

The iron door creaked open, and the sound inside suddenly became clear, it was really drinking and gambling, but it was just playing meat jokes and punching, and listening to the content made the maid feel disgusted.

The maid's face was blocked under a black mask, but it must have been extremely ugly, so the soldier of the cooking squad standing next to him also looked embarrassed, he pinched his forehead and prepared to be reprimanded, but the maid sternly stopped him with those only eyes.

At a glance, she saw a young man in the midst of a group of ruffians, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he talked about meat jokes, which made all the soldiers who had seen them blush or laugh.

The young man turned his head with half of his face and glanced at him, and the maid saw that he was wearing a black blindfold on his left eye, and a shocking scar extended from the eye to the back of his head, which looked hideous and terrifying.

Soon the young man stumbled out of the outpost with the bottle of Xifeng wine he had won, and along the way in those small shops that had not yet opened for business, he either reached out for a piece of dried meat, or teased the owner's daughter-in-law and daughter, and returned to the barracks with a smile on the way.

The place under the walls of Ningdong Town was really not very big, and the two followed the boy to his own residence.

It was a small, detached house, surrounded by a half-meter-high wall of loess.

And in his yard, a young woman was boiling water in the water tank of the snow shovel, the thin body was holding an axe while chopping wood and boiling water, and when she saw the boy coming back, she wiped the sweat on her forehead and poured tea for him, and then continued to clean the snow in the yard, and when all this was done, she wiped the dirt from the window before the winter with a rag, and suddenly the whole space became full of humanity.

Obviously, these jobs are a woman's daily routine, although she is covered in sweat in winter, but the woman looks very pleasant, and with that beautiful face, it is easy to make people feel pity.

The soldier of the cooking squad introduced: "Didn't you go to fight Qinchuan before, this child was pulled out of the dead pile near Danxia Mountain, and the woman was also pulled out of the dead pile by him, the military camp is understaffed, this kid joined the army, the only requirement is to bring this woman in, the situation is a little special, Ningdong Town is so big, you can't force people to die, and then they depend on each other like this." ”

The soldiers and civilians of Ningdong Town are accustomed to this kind of daily matching, so there is nothing strange about it, the maid standing outside the earthen wall has her face like frost, and when she hears the words "depend on each other", the whole person becomes extremely cold.

The boy has a name given by Ma Mengxiang, called Ma Mengqi.

But his real name is Ding Mang.
