Chapter 187: The backbone is broken
Originally, with Su Yi's dancing knife skills, even if he couldn't get a high stack, there was still no problem in keeping the qualified line. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But just as the bell for the opening of the exam jumped into my mind, it was accompanied by the largest sound of a dragon cannon so far.
This cannon turned into a heavy hammer, which smashed Su Yi's characterization, Su Yi missed, and only got the second prize of the dancing knife project!
A wave of regret sounded in the stands, and when Su Yi returned to his seat, everyone opened their mouths to comfort him, but Su Yi did not feel too sad, but only felt a faint cloud of doubt hanging over his heart.
Then coincidences happened one after another, and after Su Yi's exam, the cannon fire outside the city also stopped abruptly, and it seemed that Shui Kou was "coincidentally" repelled at this moment.
After that, the exam was orderly, everyone played normally, Han Xiuzhu achieved nine prizes unusually and won the first place, while Xiang Cheng won ten prizes in the dance knife, but because the average score was lower than Han Xiuzhu, he ranked second.
At the end of the exam, when the list was released the next day, Su Yi was squeezed out of the top ten and missed the qualification for admission to the ancient battlefield.
After reading the list, Su Yi's heart was irrigated by worrying water, and when she drove home, she was faintly unwilling in her heart.
But when the faint feeling of remorse was forcibly suppressed by Su Yi, that sense of disobedience rose again.
"I always feel like everything is going in the worst direction since yesterday morning, as if someone is deliberately directing all this, is it my delusion?"
Before he could come up with an answer, Su Yi had already arrived at the door of the house, and Han Kai's father and son were waiting at the door.
Su Yi was about to speak, but the father and son suddenly knelt on the ground with a pop, tears and tears, just to beg Su Yi to agree to cancel the gambling contract in Jiuding Mountain.
Su Yi thought to himself, this might be a good time to turn a fight with the Han family, and besides, he didn't want Han Kai and Yang Junxun to have an endless situation, so he nodded and agreed.
When she turned around to go back to the house, Su Yi didn't notice a grim smile on the corner of Han Kai's father's mouth.
Two days later, the martial arts meeting in South Xuzhou was opened, and Su Yi was invited to participate, but he never thought that the organizer was bought by Han Kai and his son, and conspired with him to drug Su Yi's tea.
The latter washed away the shame of losing to Su Yi, and also made Su Yi's military heart shake, and it will be difficult to form a third military heart in the future.
In less than a day, the conflict escalated and spread to the two elders, and the Han Xiang family launched a large-scale fight in the city, with blood pouring and rivers in the streets.
The opening of Jiuding Mountain was forced to be postponed, and Su Yi's itinerary plan ended without a problem, and because of the conflict in the city, the people were in danger and closed their doors, Su Yi was given special care and temporarily transferred to the garrison fortress in the south of the city, while his family was protected by the Privy Council.
Luo Dudu took action and personally reconciled the contradictions between the two families.
Although Luo Zirui is a flying general, the Han Xiang family also has a flying general, and how can outsiders intervene in the blood feud between the two families? Luo Zirui failed to mediate, but fell into the whirlpool of struggle, and for a time the situation in the state city became even more chaotic, and the only hope was to ask Lao Yuanrong to come forward.
And Su Yi's return was far away, Quan Justice and Liu Beijia were responsible for protecting him, while Qiu Yingyan and Xiang Congliu and others stayed in the city.
"Although the army is not a stable learning environment, it may be an opportunity for you to experience military life, but in order not to attract people's eyes, it is better to ask Master Chang to come forward for you to change your appearance, so that you can integrate into the army more easily. The whole judiciary proposed.
Su Yi knew that whether it was a disciple of a general or a big family, they would look for opportunities to enlist in the army, and in order to deepen his understanding of the art of war, it was also necessary to experience the life of a low-level soldier in person, so he did not refuse.
"Okay, then please arrange it for me. ”
So Su Yi became a member of the army, waking up on time in the morning to participate in rigorous training, and seizing time to study at night.
At the end of April, spring turns to summer, and the heart lake recovers, which is the season for barbarians to mate and give birth.
Most of the barbarians stationed on the north bank retreated, and there were very few barbarians left.
The general stationed at the fortress felt that this was a good time, so he crossed the river with his army and captured the city of Yangzhou on the other side.
Su Yi also naturally fought with the army, and shined in several small battles, winning great praise from above, and was promoted from a small ordinary soldier to a captain of the Jiupin Companion Rong.
Although the army and his personal journey were smooth, the sense of disobedience in Su Yi's heart became stronger and stronger.
"It's really strange, the general only has the authority to garrison, but does not have the right to transfer troops, why can he lead his troops across the river to the Northern Expedition without authorization? Moreover, if this is really a great opportunity for the Northern Expedition, why did the enterprising Qiu Yuanshi, Luo Dudu, and even Chen Lao Yuanrong not make any moves?"
Su Yi couldn't figure it out, so she found a remote place that night and practiced her sword skills alone, not only to prepare for the future war, but also to make up for the regret of losing the dance knife in the courtyard, Su Yi didn't want her sword skills to stop.
As if it was deliberately arranged by fate, the master of the four realms of swordsmanship, Xiang Congliu, the assassin historian, happened to come to the front line, inspected the army, and saw the scene of Su Yi practicing swords.
Xiang Congliu walked over and said: "Your pace is unsteady, there is confusion in your heart, I don't know why you are wielding the weapon in your hand, we practice knife techniques not only to kill the enemy, but also to protect the family and the country, and protect the most important people and things in our hearts, if you want to make the blade sharp enough to kill demons and barbarians, you must first cut off the shackles called 'confusion' in your heart, and set up a goal you want to achieve the most, and the thing you want to protect the most." ”
It was precisely in order to protect his childhood sweetheart that Xiang Congliu burst out of his potential in swordsmanship, so his theory was very convincing, and Su Yi felt that he had benefited a lot.
Su Yi naturally thought of Su Shi'er, so she made great progress in the next exercises.
Unfortunately, peace is always short-lived, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the barbarians suddenly launched a large-scale counterattack, and the human race in order to protect the hard-won Jiangbei position, swore to defend Yangzhou on three passes, to avoid the Northern Expedition base falling into the hands of the enemy.
Su Yi was nailed to the Yangzhou army because of this, missed the Yingzhou Conference in May, and her fate turned in another direction.
It is very "coincidental" that when the news of the worsening of his condition came today, folk rumors arose, and the undercurrents of the temples surged.
Su Yi got the news again, Liu Xinzhao left Southern Xuzhou under the pretext of leaving the capital in a hurry, and Su Yi vaguely guessed her identity.
Three months later, on the eve of the township test, the bad news of the emperor's death spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River and also into the Yangzhou army.
The imperial court completely fell into the hands of the main peace faction, and the local officials saw that the main battle faction had gone, and they clinged to the Zhongshu order, and the land of the main war in the world shrank sharply, leaving only southern Xuzhou.
Three years later, Su Yi accumulated a lot of meritorious service in the army, was promoted to a national sergeant, and returned to her hometown to marry Su Shi'er.
But Su Shier did not achieve the corresponding status before marriage, and after marriage, she was slandered by a rumor that she was clinging to Su Yi and hindering his future.
The gossip soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and everyone poured gold into the Su family; Su Yi didn't care, but Su Shi'er's mood was hit hard, and she faintly felt a little sorry for Su Yi.
Although Su Yi tried her best to comfort Su Shi'er, the better Su Yi treated her, the more Su Shi'er felt a little more guilty in her heart.
Su Shi'er has been weak since she was a child, and her heart disease has become more and more serious, and her body has deteriorated, and she died of depression within two years.
The death of her loved one made Su Yi painful, and she wailed and cried in front of the grave.
At that time, Su Yi opened a small shop, making a living by dealing in goods from the East China Sea, and had many contacts with local officials and businessmen.
While doing business, Su Yi worked hard to climb up, just for Su Shi'er's last words: "When the world is peaceful, I will see you."
In order to create peace for all eternity, Su Yi worked harder than before, and never slackened in all military industries such as the art of war, knife dance, and archery.
Another year passed, Yangzhou City was broken, the Terrans retreated to the south of the Yangtze River again, and the Northern Expedition ended without a hitch.
In that battle, the main battle faction invested all its combat strength to resist the enemy, but it was still overwhelmed, and the main and faction stabbed in the back, and the battle line finally collapsed completely: Xu Liren, Qiu Yingyan, Luo Zirui and other backbones of the main battle faction were all killed in battle, Chen and Wei, the two old Yuanrong, were generous and righteous, and millions of main battle soldiers were unwilling to surrender, and after shouting three times "return my rivers and mountains", they all committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river.
Sun Lao Yuanrong only spared himself, and tried his last strength to send Su Yi to Yingzhou, which was thousands of miles away.
The rest of the Terrans either depended on Zhou Xueshu and achieved the status of slave owners, and those who became slaves and food were their former compatriots, hundreds of millions of people.
Since then, the backbone of the human race has been broken, and in the face of the rule of the barbarians, no one can afford to resist like a walking corpse and being insensitive. The holy way was gloomy, all the books and buildings that carried cultural ideas were shattered by the iron hooves of the barbarians, and the virtues of loyalty, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith disappeared in this battle, and the people who lived secretly no longer dared to call themselves "Han Chinese".
There is only one person.
Spring goes to autumn, and ten years pass in the blink of an eye.
The tide ebbed and flowed, and the clouds stopped, Su Yi stood by a certain beach in Yingzhou, and after bowing three times in the direction of the mainland, she retracted her steps and was about to return.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank, because on the other side of the beach, a middle-aged man was walking slowly.
For the first time in ten years, Su Yi had seen a human race other than herself.
The middle-aged man had a steady demeanor and a glittering brilliance of wisdom in his eyes, which made Su Yi feel in a trance for a while.
"How have you been doing all these years?" the middle-aged man smiled, as if he was greeting a friend he hadn't seen for years. (To be continued.) )
