March 15.

Appropriate: cleaning, bathing, seeking medical treatment, and curing diseases.

Don't: Marriage, trading, opening a business, burial.

It is the day when the "Dingxi Overview" is released once a year.

At the junction of Ding and Heng states, a hidden courtyard.

A carrier pigeon landed on the ridge of the roof.

"The jade foot ring is a message from the son. ”

Several people came out of the house and took the letter from the pigeon.

"The five towns on the border of Dingzhou have been reduced to war zones. The steppe wolf rode fiercely, and He Youjian, the governor of Dingzhou, led the army to resist but was still defeated. The wolf rider rushed into the town of Jiying and slaughtered him, but was stopped by two townspeople. At present, these two hidden masters are cultivating in the official post of Dingzhou, ready to go to the border at any time to fight for the defense of Dingxi. In addition, due to the continuous deterioration of the situation on the border of Dingxi, most of the masters of the rivers and lakes also arrived in Dingzhou in secret. One of them practiced swords in the snow under the moon, and he moved his sword in all directions, which was enough to rank among the great masters of swordsmanship. He also took the opportunity of the release of my "Dingxi Overview" to the swordsman Xuan of the world and said: "The so-called one person and one sword are not heroes, in the battlefield of this border grassland, see who is the great swordsman who dominates the throne!"

"Dingxi Overview" can be said to be the publication with the largest circulation in the territory of the king of Dingxi. Every year on March 15, there will be a pile of burdens in major restaurants, inns and even street vendors. This overview is not priced, it all depends on the eyes of the watchman. If you look good, reward a few more children, and if you don't look good, no one will say anything about you. But its history is not long, only a dozen years.

The overview is divided into two parts. The first half talks about things, summarizing the major events, important events, and special events in the five states under the king of Dingxi in the past year. The second half talks about people, and details what the big names who have come under the rule of King Dingxi this year have made some fame.

So on this day, almost everyone goes out early. Groups of three or five met to buy and see the freshly baked "Dingxi Overview". However, this year's overview was not so punctual, and it was not officially launched until the end of the year.

In previous years, the overview was thick, after all, there were so many things and people who happened in a year. Even after screening, there is still a lot left. 、

But this year's overview is only a thin page and a half.

One page talks about things, and half a page talks about people.

Inside the palace of Dingxi Wangfu.

Huo Wang's hand also held a copy of "Dingxi Overview".

From the first day of the publication, he was very concerned.

After all, he was talking about the things and people in his territory, and he also wanted to see if there was any big discrepancy between what he knew and what he knew. For so many years, Huo Wang has always laughed at the content and just watched it lively. But today, he has to take it seriously.

"In my impression, there is no one in the Five Prefectures who use a sword except for Zhao Huihan, the governor of Yuezhou, and his two apprentices. As for the masters in the rivers and lakes......"

It's not that Huo Wang hasn't checked the details of "Dingxi Tonglan", but in the end, he only knows that the organization responsible for editing and distributing is an organization called Liuguangguan.

The Liuguang Pavilion is secretive, and there are traces of activities in the five prefectures of Dingxi. But even the king of Dingxi couldn't find out who the main messenger behind it was, and only knew that the people in the pavilion called the owner of the pavilion Gongzi.

However, in addition to the annual release of the "Dingxi Overview", the Liuguang Pavilion has no other actions. Over time, Huo Wang let himself go.

Yesterday's abnormal movement of the Star Diaphragm Sword made him still uneasy in the bedroom, and in today's overview, it is said that Dingzhou has gathered several masters of the rivers and lakes, and there is one person's swordsmanship that can be called thorough. But why did such a master come to the border Dingzhou? He also made an appointment to fight the world's swordsmen here. This is what Huo Wang doesn't understand.

But what he was interested in was the swordsmanship's swordsmanship, if it was really as depicted in the general reading, then this person must have a star sword with a higher ranking than the star diaphragm, which was an opportunity that Huo Wang could not miss.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

With the circulation of the swordsman's declaration in the "Dingxi Overview", the rivers and lakes suddenly became turbulent. In particular, some young people who have created a name based on themselves are even more hurried to Dingzhou under the stars. Even some sword masters who have long been out of the world have come out of the mountain. I want to see who has such a big breath, and wants to win the supreme kendo in the world in one fell swoop and dominate the rivers and lakes.

"Childe, is this really good?"

"It's a good time to live and work, but it's not the time I need. Since ancient times, heroes have been born in troubled times, even though I am not quite a hero, but the more chaotic I am, the more stable I am. Pulling a big lie to this Dingzhou, although it will hurt the splendid beauty of this great river and mountain, it can exchange me for 20 years of stability and peace. Worth. ”

"How long is Childe going to endure it?"

"If this wolf rider is not extinguished, Dingzhou can survive for a day, and the position of the state can also be safe and stable. If the wolf is wiped out, the king of Dingxi will naturally have nothing to seal and reward for Dingzhou. How can you do such a thing that benefits the world? I hope that Mingyao will fight for some energy, and it will be good to continue like this. Besides, I originally thought that it would be the time to go out of the mountain after taking control of the soldiers of Dingzhou Mansion, but now it seems that I am very wrong. Huo Wang is not a martial artist, on the contrary, his mind is finer than the embroidery needle. ”

Jiying Town, Xiangteng Restaurant.

Liu Ruiying walked into the hall and couldn't help but be in a trance in an instant.

The hall was empty, with no people drinking and merry.

The stage was empty, and there was no play in sight.

Xiao Er was also bored lying on the account table, and when he saw Liu Ruiying walking in, he only raised his eyelids slightly, and he didn't have the same courteous appearance as before.

"My lord, the small shop can't entertain you. As soon as the evacuation order was given, the radius of hundreds of miles was already clean. The governor was stationed in the town again, and all the things and drinks stockpiled in the small shop were bought out by the grain officials. ”

The shopkeeper came out from behind and said. didn't blame the shopkeeper for his negligence, even if the person who came was the Zhongdu Investigator.

"Then why are you still here?"

The shopkeeper smiled and did not answer.

Liu Ruiying realized that she had asked a very stupid question.

If all the causes encountered by the Investigation Division have any relationship with Xiangteng Restaurant, they should be reported level by level according to the law, and then the highest official of the province will personally try it.

Although Liu Ruiying is a special investigation envoy in the northwest, it is obvious that his rank is far from enough. The shopkeeper naturally needs no explanation.

"The situation in Dingxi has changed abruptly, and the investigation makes the adults act carefully. ”

Liu Ruiying got up and wanted to leave, but the shopkeeper said coldly.

Jiying Town, the Chinese army.

After the patrol sergeant at the gate passed on his identity, He Youjian came to the gate with two government commanders and welcomed Liu Ruiying in.

After everyone was polite, the guests sat down. Liu Ruiying asked about the current battle situation, and He Youjian knew everything about it, and said everything. Liu Ruiying was a little surprised at first, he was ready to be troubled, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

"According to Governor He, this time the wolf rider has indeed had such a big impact?"

"yes. The investigation envoy has been in the central capital for a long time, and he should not know much about the border situation. This steppe wolf rider does not treat us as human beings at all, only as a ration for the wild wolf they sit down, so it is extremely cruel. Since the envoy had already come to Jiying Town before, he must have seen the stone handle at the mouth of the Xiangteng Restaurant. Alas, that time we committed a border attack because we were careless and underestimated the enemy, which caused hundreds of people to be in different places, and the five towns on this border were full of blood. Tang Zhoutong is also a good official who loves the people like a son, so he immediately issued an evacuation order as soon as there was a stir this time. However, the people have evacuated, but the main army of the left and right Lu is gathered outside the border in front of me, and the total number of soldiers and horses on the left and right sides of the border is millions of soldiers, and my 200,000 soldiers can't resist it no matter what!"

He Youjian clenched the hammer case and said with great backup.

"But as long as there are still people to fight in Dingzhou, I will not give an inch in this business. It's as firmly rooted here as a nail, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, it can't let the wolf ride break through this border five towns one step!"

Liu Ruiying was moved by He Youjian's impassioned statement, and unconsciously choked up. After drinking a few glasses with the three generals, he went back to the camp to rest, and he wanted to check the Tianmu Province of Si Tianmu in the report he saw today. But after he calmed down, he thought about it carefully, and there was no key information in what He Youjian said. Regarding some of the more confidential things proposed by Liu Ruiying, He Youjian skillfully covered up the past.

"Tell Childe. Everything is seamless, airtight. ”

He Youjian explained.

Dingxi Palace.

Huo Wang did not sit on the throne in the main hall.

Only a few people know that there is a hidden place under the palace. Huo Wang called it the palace of the palace.

"Take a closer look at this year's "Dingxi Overview", what is your impression of the swordsman described in it?"

Huo Wang stood in a dark corridor, with prisons made of stainless steel in front and behind. Every room is locked up with people.

All of them are masters of the rivers and lakes who have dominated his territory over the years, but at this moment, they have all been reduced to prisoners. Judging by their appearances, they have been held here for quite some time.

"Hey, hey. The surname is Huo, what's the matter, you're scared of this halfway monk?"

One of them said with a sneer.

"Haha, Huo Wang, when you sent people to attack and kill us day and night, it was just to find out our swordsmanship moves. And you sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for the rabbit, waiting for work, you are not worthy of a sword at all!"

Another scolded.

"What is your impression of this swordsman?"

Huo Wang clenched his teeth, tried his best to calm his mind, and asked again.

"I don't recognize it, I don't recognize it! Even if I do, do you think we'll tell you? In the name of the outside world, you have defeated all the masters of Dingxi with your sword, but in fact you are a shameless person who will do everything to sit on the throne!"

"Now someone can finally defeat you with a sword, this is called the reason of heaven, the way of the sword is clear! A person of your heart is destined to not be able to reach the top of the way of the sword!"

Huo Wang smiled lightly, turned around and left the dungeon. What is there to be angry about the complaints of a group of losers?

Back on the ground, Huo Wang jumped up to the roof of the main hall.

Drawing out the Star Diaphragm Sword, he slashed towards Dingzhou.

In a sparsely populated wasteland hundreds of miles away from the royal city,

The two unlucky pedestrians suddenly felt depressed about the mountains, and the day was dark and sad in an instant. There was thunder and anger in his ears, and his eyes seemed to be the condensation of the river and the sea......

"By the way, let's send this knife back to the house. But don't remove the string of jade beads on it. From this day forward, I will forsake the sword and use the sword. ”

"Yes, Childe. ”

The way of the sword is thousands of years, and I am the middle marquis for this.

The sword light is the sun and the moon, and the sword qi is a bullfight.

The cold stabbing stars practiced three feet, and the sun fell and the moon shook the lightning.

I only complain that my body is limited, when will I break the sky and step on the edge of the immortals......

Huo Wang returned to the throne and wrote this poem.
