Qin Xin stopped and pointed at Du Tang's throat with his dyed autumn sword, for some reason, he had an intuition that it would be dangerous to get too close to this pocket man. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The Uncle Qin you are talking about, is that middle-aged man who has an amazing appearance and exaggerated appearance, but has no sense of existence at home, and often claims to be the overlord of the civil service world, in fact, he is basically the only middle-aged man he has called so......

After Qin Xin asked the question smoothly, Du Tang couldn't help but bend over and smiled: "That's right, that's right, it's the middle-aged man who often claims to have seen visitors from another world in his diary and then notes that only people with pure hearts can see it...... Aunt Luo Yu used to tell me as a joke when she came to my house. We saw it when we were kids, have you forgotten? My name is Du Tangerine, and the orange is delicious. ”

"When you were a child?" Qin Xin tried hard to recall, but only various pictures of him playing "Rangers of the Forest" in junior high school surfaced, "I don't remember much. That's what you're ...... People from the Du family? He remembered Long Ming's words, which was also the purpose of his coming to this side of the swampy terrain.

Long Ming specifically told me that he was here because he knew my family? Is it necessary? Luo Xuan is my cousin, and I haven't seen any special treatment of my subordinates......

Du Tang nodded and said: "Well, I am the one who represents the Du family to participate in the twelve big competitions this year, since the two of us have converged, let's go to Gao Ling together." ”

"Twelve Dabi?" Qin Xin heard this word for the second time today, and when he was waiting outside the Guanyue Gymnasium, Li Zilong, who came over with a small salute, seemed to have said the words "Twelve Big Matches" when he said to himself, but what made him care more was the sentence that Du Tang, the man in the pocket, said behind him.

"Gao Ling?"

"Well, the candidates for the three families of this year's autumn colors are me, you, and Gao Ling."

"Wait, wait...... This gentleman named Du Tang. ”

"You can call me brother, I'm a year or two older than you."

Qin Xin Zhengse said: "Brother Du, where we are now, is the venue for the first battle of the individual competition of the 72nd Imperial University Kendo Competition, are you sure you didn't accidentally enter here because you had a serious car accident in a Butterfly Energy Locomotive Racing Tournament called the Twelve Great Competitions, and then luckily the remaining helmet failed to protect your head, causing you to be a little delirious now?" How could Gao Ling's squatting at home who lives by feeding ......?"

The mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate, and after taking it out, he looked down and saw that it was an email: "It's annoying, I don't want to move, the grass here is so high, it seems to be in the south of the arena, you come to pick me up." ”

And the sender is actually Gao Ling?!

Qin Xin gestured to Du Tang that you will wait for a while, and then dialed Zuo Ling's number.

"Hey, Zuo Ling? Gao Ling: Is she in the audience with you now? ”

"No, she's gone since the morning gathering." Zuo Ling replied, and then his tone changed, "I watched your game a little when I was bored, and you want to borrow notes from An Jing's sister?" Do you not know that I have already passed the preliminary qualification exam for the Prayer Butterfly, or do you want to know his sister? In other words, monkey, do you care less about me, or do you want to care more about others? I'll wait for you to come back and explain. ”

Qin Xin, who was hung up by Zuo Ling, had a wry smile on his face, replied to Gao Ling with an email of "squat there and don't move", and then threw the phone back in his pocket.

Du Tang, who had been politely waiting for Qin Xin to finish his call, said: "I didn't lie to you, in fact, I was surprised at the beginning, Uncle Gao would let Xiao Ling participate in the big competition, but it's also very good, it always has to be shouldered, as the responsibility of the children of the twelve families." ”

Qin Xin frowned: "Brother Shi, can you explain to me, what the hell is the Twelve Great Matches." ”

"Huh? Don't you know? Du Cheng said in surprise, "Hmm...... Anyway, it's still early, so it's okay to talk about it. ”

Five minutes later.

Qin Xin opened his mouth slightly and looked at Du Tang for a few seconds, and then said, "Brother Shi, wait a minute, I'll make another call." Even though I'm still in the Empire, I feel like I've been culture-shocked......"

He took out his mobile phone again, flipped through Yan Lan in the address book, and dialed the phone number of Goddess Yan, who was born in the history department of Dongda University, and after connecting it, he heard a noisy sound, and it seemed that there were many people next to her.

"Hello? Qin Xin, aren't you competing, what are you looking for me? Yan Lan said.

"Yan Lan, have you heard of the twelve?" Qin Xin asked.

"I'm sure I've heard of it, isn't that the common sense that you should know as a member of the Winter Forestry University?" Yan Lan said, "Haven't you read the "Concise History of Dongming Forestry University"? The goddess girl had an incredible tone.

A concise school history? Qin Xin's mind came to a large book with a black cover as thick as a dictionary that he had glimpsed in the library.

"Who would look at that kind of thing when they're fine...... Do the Twelve have anything to do with Dongda? ”

Yan Lan explained: "The predecessor of Dongming Forestry University was the academy created by the nobles of the Northland thousands of years ago in order to allow the aristocratic youth to systematically learn knowledge. ”

"Uh, can you tell us a little bit more about the Twelve?"

"You've always heard of the Battle of Bailing during the Lie Dynasty, a frequent visitor to Xue Posen, Mr. Qin Xin, a forest ranger."

"Well, I've heard of it, it's the time when Emperor Liewu Xiao Liu sacrificed 100,000 civilians in Xueposen."

"The Twelve began to appear on the stage of history after the Battle of Bailing......"

More than 2,000 years ago, this continent called Qunsen was still in a period of division between princes. Xiao Liu, the seventh monarch of the Lieguo, a king known for his brutality and toughness in history, soon after his accession to the throne, despite the opposition of his ministers, personally led a large army to invade the Yue kingdom in the northwest of the Lieguo.

Less than three months after the start of the war, the army of Lieguo captured several important cities represented by Bailing in the east of Yue, and the troops approached the capital of Yue, but at this time they were met with extremely stubborn resistance from the army and people of Yue, and the army was in a stalemate with the enemy abroad, and the food and grass materials were about to run out, and the big nobles who were already opposed to the war in China were even more ready to move.

The night before the blood festival, the man who was known as Emperor Ryśmu after his death took a walk in the nearby forest, which was then called Rinmori.

According to the Wild History, during his walk, he chatted with his courtiers about hunting with great interest, and pointed to his feet and said things like, "If the land here is more fertile and the forest is lush, this would be a good hunting ground."

On the second day, he cut off the heads of 100,000 civilians in the occupied city of Bailing and held a festival to pray for victory to the ancestral gods.

The whole world is amazed!

At that time, wars with a total population of less than 30 million and more than 3,000 casualties were considered horrific and tragic...... It is self-evident what kind of impact the sacrifice of 100,000 blood sacrifices to the gods will have on the enemy country.

From the prince to Li Shu, the people of the Yue Kingdom were all panicked, and the army of the Lie Kingdom drove straight into it as if it were devastated, and the Yue Kingdom perished immediately.

This battle is known as the Battle of Bailing.

After the battle, the 100,000-strong city of Bailing disappeared into history, and the forest called Rinmori, where the blood festival was held, was later called "Bloody Posen", and this forest spread under the fertility of flesh and blood, and finally joined the large forest to the east.

Thousands of years later, people call this forest Snow Posen.

It also has a lesser-known name: "Emperor Wu's Hunting Ground".

Emperor Liewu, who returned to the court, was not welcomed by the people and courtiers, and the blood sacrifice touched not only the Yue country, but also his own country. The country's reverence for the tough monarch has all turned into fear, and many of the generals who accompanied Xiao Liu on the expedition are constantly appearing in the nightmare of the king.

Those big nobles who were already dissatisfied with Xiao Liu took advantage of the situation to raise troops and besiege the royal capital, and Xiao Liu, who had just set foot on the enemy royal capital, never imagined that he was about to face the same end.

He did not regret his decision, but he regretted that he had not been able to see his hunting grounds in the north grow, and from time to time during the siege he would stand on the castle tower and look at the north.

At that time, in the bitter cold land of the north, there were quite a few low-level nobles who were awarded the title of martial arts, there were probably eleven or twelve families, they lived in the frontier for generations, cultivated in the barren land of the northland, hunted in the dense forests of the northland, and lived no different than ordinary northland commoners.

Thinking about it, in the eyes of the great nobles in the prosperous and rich land in the heart of the Lie Dynasty, it is still debatable whether these people can be regarded as nobles.

The news that the royal capital was besieged by the great nobles was in danger only reached the ears of the eleven or twelve lower-ranking nobles after four or five days, and this was still thanks to the blessing of the snow falcons they raised, and there were not even a few well-equipped post stations between the northern land and the royal capital at that time.

These low-ranking nobles, who were no different from the people of the northern borderlands, sat around the fire to eat meat and drink wine as usual after farming and hunting on this day, and began to discuss the affairs of the royal capital thousands of miles away.

Some of them participated in Xiao Liu's army to conquer the Yue Kingdom, and they also saw the scene of the blood sacrifice with their own eyes, but they were not afraid, but felt strange to those who had nightmares after the blood sacrifice.

"Only such a man can dominate the world." Someone said.

"If we can dominate the world, we will be able to farm and hunt more widely." Someone chimed in.

By this time they had drunk some wine, and something hot in their chests was on fire.

"How far is the royal capital from us?"

"More than a thousand miles, probably."

"Is a thousand miles far away?" Someone asked.

A lot of laughter followed, and the bonfire burned brighter and brighter that night, dyeing red and lighting up the cold night sky of the Northland.

The next day, the twelve lower-ranking nobles left the place where they had been farming and hunting for generations, with their retainers and private soldiers.

Many years later...... The world became their hunting ground.
