The news reached Yanzhou City the next day. Then. The prestige of Xiao Haotian's 'killing god'. Resounded again in the three countries. Nanzhao 200,000 elite soldiers. Nearly 40,000 surrendered. The rest are ready to be killed. It is said that there is a canyon under Yangshan Mountain. It has been filled with the corpses of 140,000 soldiers of Nanzhao.

It's really a success.

And Xiao Haotian brought the glory of victory. and most of the autumn harvest grain of Nanzhao. Calmly withdrew to the north.

In the council hall of Yanzhou City. All the people had gloomy countenances. Grief and indignation. 200,000 troops. In this way, he was wiped out by Xiao Haotian invisible.

Then. An urgent report came from Hengyang, the capital of Nanzhao. Emperor Nanzhao, who was already sick, was slaughtered by Xiao Haotian overnight because he learned that 200,000 elite soldiers were slaughtered by Xiao Haotian. Angered. Seriously ill and bedridden.

The third prince, Xia Wenxuan, heard the news. Anxiety immediately spread across his poetic brow. He hurriedly prepared to leave Yanzhou. Rush back to Hengyang. Before leaving. He looked at Ling Dongwu. "Miss Ling. Are you willing to go back to Hengyang with me. ”

Ling Dongwu looked up at Mu Zicheng. Mu Zicheng bowed to Xia Wenxuan to the end. "The Three Princes. The grass people have a reluctant request. I want to stay here. Worship Lord Lu as a teacher. Teach me how to fight wars and use soldiers. Now is the time for the country to be in trouble. As a man. It should be killed on the battlefield to serve the country. "Mu Zicheng has experienced the destruction of Ganning Mansion. This time, the 200,000 troops of Nanzhao were annihilated by Xiao Haotian. A hot-blooded man. I have long been excited to protect my family and defend the country.

"Good. It's rare that you have such ambition. Lord Lu. Are you willing to take him as a disciple? The third prince, Xia Wenxuan, looked at Lu Zhijian.

Lu Zhijian was also excited when he heard Mu Zicheng's words. Stretched out his hand and touched Mu Zicheng's neck. See this young man's muscles and bones are wonderful. Daxi said: "Okay, okay." I took this apprentice ......"

Xia Wenxuan's gaze swept over Ling Dongwu. Somehow, I felt a little bit of anticipation in my heart. Thinking that she would be willing to leave here with her. Return to Hengyang.

Ling Dongwu was as early as when the city of Ganning Mansion was broken. He had already made up his mind to follow Mu Zicheng. smiled at Xia Wenxuan. "The Three Princes. My brother and I are used to living together. Where is my brother. I'll stay where I am. ”

"It's fine. You can stay in Yanzhou with your brother. No matter what happens in the future. You can go to Hengyang to find this king. ”

Ling Dongwu originally thought that his identity was far away. After Xia Wenxuan returned to Kyoto this time. Maybe it's hard to see each other again. But I heard him say that. I was very happy. The third prince instructed again. It's time to set off on the road.

Everyone sent the third prince Xia Wenxuan out of Yanzhou City. Set off on the road back to Beijing.

Xiao Haotian retreated to Wukou City with a complete victory. There was no movement to invade Nanzhao. It was a surprise attack on the Western Regions twice. A total of 130,000 elite soldiers in the Western Regions were intercepted and killed twice. Easily set fire to many granaries in the Western Regions.

And relatively. Nanzhao was in a peaceful and peaceful life.

Ling Dongwu has lived in Yanzhou City since he lived. Finally lived a peaceful and comfortable life. Lu Zhijian arranged for her to go to an independent courtyard. There is a little girl in it who serves her daily life. And Mu Zicheng followed Lu Zhijian. was arranged in a group of Lu family disciples. Practice martial arts together.

Due to General Lu's busyness. Official business. Just explained some allusions to Mu Zicheng about the art of war and soldiers in his spare time. The rest of the time. He asked his junior brother Yang Mingyuan to teach Mu Zicheng martial arts.

Yang Mingyuan is known as the 'Breeze Hero' on the rivers and lakes. Be upright. Martial arts are strong. No matter how soon you step down. Swords, guns, swords, halberds. Axe hook fork is proficient in everything. And for the popularity of introverted modesty. There is not the slightest shelf. The deep wrinkles at the corners of the eyes bring out a sense of vicissitudes of melancholy.

Mu Zicheng is extremely talented. Regardless of knives, guns, sticks. Learn what you will do; And he is particularly open-minded and studious. Won the strength of the land. Yang Mingyuan and some generals in Yanzhou City liked it. In addition to Yang Mingyuan, he taught him the ability to think. Several other generals in Yanzhou City. See him so smart and studious. also taught him his proud moves.

Chicken whine. Yang Mingyuan would always get up early in the morning to inspect Mu Zicheng's martial arts. After dinner, Lu Zhijian inspected his art of war.

Mu Zicheng studied martial arts during the day. At night, he continued to study the "Art of War" and the actual combat principles taught to him by Lu Zhijian. Inside his house. A lot of shops. It's very simple. But four walls. There are tall bookshelves on both sides. It's literally a private library. If he didn't understand the book, he asked Lu Zhijian and others for advice. Lu Zhijian saw that Mu Zicheng was so smart and diligent, and he liked it very much: "Zicheng." You have to remember. The purpose of studying the art of war is not to talk about it on paper. It's about always cultivating Haoran Qi. Meditation on the wordless book. Even if you are familiar with military books. Those who are full of money will also be defeated. Let's go to war. Yun Tao Bulho. Winning a Thousand Miles...... The way of using soldiers is in Germany. Two in the wide. Only with a broad mind can we look at the world......"

And so time flies. Mu Zicheng not only has martial arts changing with each passing day. Tall. The study of the art of war has also gained in-depth insights.

Ling Dongwu was repairing flowers and plants in the courtyard when he was free at the beginning. Or listen to a lot of girls in the house bragging together. Chat. The head of the house all day long. The west house is short. The days go by quickly. But after a long time, she felt lonely and boring.

Mu Zicheng has a short free time before breakfast every day. Then you will start practicing martial arts. This is the happiest time of the day for Ling Dongwu. She often came with Mu Zicheng to the big garden in the garrison mansion. Sit under the ancient pine and chat, or watch Mu Zicheng read the military book.

This ancient pine tree is flourishing. The morning sun has risen. Ten thousand rays of light seeped through the palm-sized leaves of the tree. Sprinkled on Ling Dongwu's face. It cast a strange glow on her face. When Mu Zicheng was reading. His eyelashes are particularly long when viewed from the side. The eyelashes close the eyeballs. Occasionally, when he looked sideways at her and smiled. It looks like it's beautiful and bewitching.

Ling Dongwu saw that Mu Zicheng was looking at a map. caught her attention. It was the first time she had seen an ancient map. It's the same as in history class. Mu Zicheng was rarely interested when he saw her. He pointed to the map with great interest and explained the current form to her.

A large area of land in the north belongs to the Northern Desert. And Nanzhao is not bad. A large piece of land from Hebei to the south and including Yunnan Quanjing in its own era. Guizhou and Sichuan are all from Nanzhao.

To the northwest is the boundary between the Xiongnu and some small tribes in the Western Regions.

After Nanzhao was defeated by Xiao Haotian of the Northern Desert a few years ago. I had no choice but to adopt a friendly policy. But the relationship did not allow the situation to stabilize for long. Since Xiao Haotian led his troops to capture Wukou City. Now relations between the two countries are starting to strain again. The Eastern Xiongnu in the west have been disturbing the Nanzhao border for many years. Nanzhao had to deal with the entry of two countries at once. There are really some flawless scruples.

And the most tragic thing is that the Western Regions are small countries. The Western Regions, the East and West, the Xiongnu or the Northern Desert. The Nanzhao army attacked the Xiongnu. It is often necessary to pass through these small countries. These small states were caught between the Xiongnu and the Southern Zhao and Northern Desert states. When the Emperor of Nanzhao was angry. They are devastated. The Huns were alone when they were angry. And they were devastated. The Northern Desert Emperor was furious. They will be miserable......

The other small countries of the Western Regions are careful to survive in this crack. One carelessness is the disaster of destroying the country and destroying the nation.

When Mu Zicheng talked about this. In his eyes, he was more compassionate and sympathetic to the small countries in the Western Regions.

Ling Dongwu would spend most of his time going to see Mu Zicheng to practice martial arts. Mu Zicheng saw her wandering around like this all day long. It was proposed that Ling Dongwu also follow Yang Mingyuan and practice martial arts with himself.

Ling Dongwu envied the eaves of the martial arts master in his heart. Chivalrous and righteous. But the thought of having to crow every day. The hard practice of martial arts at sunset. I was stunned.

Mu Zicheng told her about the troubled times. If you don't have a skill to defend yourself. How much suffering will be suffered. If she fell into the hands of Yi Zhikuo. There is nothing they can do about it. There was no resistance. Later, in the midst of the rebellious army in Ganning Province. It's also because there is no martial arts to protect himself. I almost lost my life. Now. There was an opportunity to learn the skills. It should be cherished. Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body. The most important thing is to protect yourself――――――

Ling Dongwu naturally knew the truth. Since crossing over to this troubled world. Just because she is a powerless woman. will suffer a lot of losses. Suffered a lot.

So he nodded and agreed to Mu Zicheng's proposal to let her practice martial arts.

The two of them went to Yang Mingyuan very frankly: "Ling Yatou is sixteen this year." The girl is getting older. The results of learning art are certainly not as good as those of your brother. ”

Ling Dongwu said solemnly: "Thank you, Master Yang, for your outspoken words. The little girl doesn't expect to be a peerless master. But in this troubled world. You can have a skill to defend yourself. ”

Yang Mingyuan nodded. "It's fine. These years of war and chaos. It's not bad for a woman to have a skill to defend herself. Good. From now on. Your brothers and sisters will learn from me. ”

"Thank you, master." Mu Zicheng and Ling Dongwu knelt down together to thank them.

"Sister. Younger sister. It's time to get up. It's almost dawn. Mu Zicheng Qingyue's voice woke Ling Dongwu from his sleep. She opened her eyes helplessly. It's time for the rooster to crow again. Then. A pair of strong hands lifted her up. Ling Dongwu glanced at him. The gentle and caring light in those eyes made her want to play tricks.

Ling Dongwu's face suddenly showed a kind of cunning. And a naughty look. She began to get dressed slowly......

Mu Zicheng finally couldn't stand it anymore. Quickly help her get dressed. A few splashes of water helped her wash her face. Let her refresh too. Then dragged her into the martial arts training ground.

There are already a few soldiers of the Lu family in front of the general's platform. They had just arrived. Yang Mingyuan arrived. "Master early." Ling Dongwu immediately pretended to be positive and greeted Yang Mingyuan.

Yang Mingyuan watched the energetic Ling Dongwu stand in the martial arts training ground early. He smiled at her with satisfaction and nodded.

Ever since Ling Dongwu decided to practice martial arts. Every day when the rooster crows. Mu Zicheng would go and wake her up. Ling Dongwu had to mess around with him every day. Mu Zicheng always patiently helped her take care of everything. And as soon as I arrived at the martial arts training ground. Ling Dongwu left and became a good disciple who was extremely diligent in Yang Mingyuan's eyes.
