Under Fang today, although Zong Zhou split the soil and divided more than 70 countries, most of the small countries actually only have the power of one city and one county, and they have no choice but to be attached to the big countries, and the major countries in the world at that time are Tang, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Lu.

Since the failure of King Zhao of Zhou's southern expedition to Chu, Zong Zhou collapsed, the rites and music collapsed, the eight faminerals were not satisfied, and the four seas were not subordinate. Large countries frequently fight wars for their ambitions and interests, and small countries sway day and night for survival.

The world is full of smoke, and the people are miserable. In the face of chaos, Zong Zhou not only could not stop it, but relied on the great powers to exercise royal power. Although the big country is strong, it is quite jealous of the secret of the Nine Tripods mastered by Zong Zhou. Therefore, although he disobeyed the king's order, he did not dare to transgress excessively. The land of China is really turbulent and changing.

In the summer of the 13th year of King Mu of Zhou, at the foot of Yushan on the border between Chu and Xu, the two armies were in array.

The sky is cloudless, as clear as a wash. It is now the transition time of spring and summer, and the grass grows and the warbler flies. Hayama is even more forested, full of life. At the foot of the mountain, the dust is flying, the horses are neighing and the beasts are roaring, the knives are like forests, and countless embroidered "Mi Chu" flags are hunting and hunting.

Xiao Yi held the rusty spear in his hand tightly, his whole body shrunk in the woods on the mountain, and carefully showed half of his head to look at the foot of the mountain. Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, the solemnity of his military appearance and the awe-inspiring murderous aura made Xiao Yi feel a cool breeze on the back of his neck.

When Xiao Yi was taken by the Chu army, he heard an old man beside him say hesitantly: "Hmph, presumably this is the Tiger Rider, known as one of the top ten legions in Shenzhou, it seems that this time the Chu demon is really prepared." ”

At this time, the sun was shining, the green mountains were on fire, Xiao Yi felt his throat dry for a while after listening to it, I don't know if it was fear or because he had been in ambush for several days and had not entered, Xiao Yi felt a burst of loss of strength, and was about to faint.

At this time, I felt a warm air flow in my back into my heart and spleen, and it took me a while to ease up, and I calmed down, only to find that a charitable old man was looking at him with concern, and his heart was inexplicably warm.

Xiao Yi has been a kitchen slave in the palace since he was a child, without a father or mother, making a horse for a cow, suffering a lot, and only making friends with a divorced son who is also a book slave. This time, the Chu army suddenly attacked, the national strength of the two countries was very different, and King Xu had no choice but to send slaves to participate in the war. Xiao Yi responded to enlist, that is, he wanted to redeem himself and his son, but he didn't expect to really go to the battlefield to know the fear and hunger here, and he was ambushed here for several days, exhausted and physically exhausted.

Of course, Xiao Yi didn't know about the martial arts and medical theory of true qi healing, but he said that the gods rescued him, so he quickly knelt down at the moment, kowtowed a few times, and said gratefully: "Thank you to the old immortals for saving you."

The kind-eyed old man seemed to be taken aback by Xiao Yi's actions, and hurriedly supported him, seeing that the honest young man's forehead was red, and said in a lamented voice: "Young man, I'm not an old fairy, but all the men in the family died in battle, so I had to go back to the battlefield at an old age, young man, where are you from? Why did you go to the battlefield at such a young age?"

Xiao Yi looked at the old man slightly, and saw that although his clothes were shabby, but the old man had kind eyebrows and white beard, if it weren't for this wolf smoke battlefield, I was afraid that ordinary people would mistakenly think that an old fairy had come to the world, and the sense of reverence for no reason arose spontaneously in his heart, and he was deeply arrested, and said: "Old senior, the kid is a kitchen slave in the palace of Pengcheng, this time in response to the emperor's edict, joined the army to serve the country, and privately hoped to make a small contribution and redeem his freedom." ”

The old man stroked his white beard slightly, nodded, looked at the immature young man in front of him, his eyes were full of appreciation, and said, "Good, good, good, worthy of my Dongyi good man." With that, the old man patted him on the shoulder, and was about to say something, but he shook his head for a while, and paced away. Leave Xiaoyi standing still, confused.

As the sun sets, the tired birds return to the forest. The march of the Chu army continued uninterrupted from noon, and it was not until the evening when the last part of the army left. Xiao Yi was still nervous at first, but after watching it for a long time, his vision became numb. Simply close your eyes and recuperate your strength.

It's strange to think about it, I haven't eaten a drop of water for a few days, and I am hungry, but since the nameless old man didn't know what immortal method to heal himself at noon, not only did he not feel hungry at all, but even the original sense of fear was infected by the old man's inexplicable temperament, and he was full of heart.

A few days ago, Sima Pengzu of Xu Guoda had learned that the Chu army would pass through the Yushan Mountains tonight, and it was a strategy to set up a sound to attack the east and the west, and the main force of 50,000 troops was ambushed here. Therefore, since nightfall, the soldiers who set up an ambush are all eager to try. But for some reason, there was no trace of Chu Jun's baggage. After waiting for a long time, everyone wondered if the information was wrong, and they were impatient for a while, and because they had not eaten for several days, they finally could not wait patiently to look for food in pairs, and the mountains and fields were in chaos.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the night wind is rustling, there is no noise of insects in the summer night, there is no roar of mountain beasts in the summer night, and there is no hope for a hearty fight, everything seems strange and quiet. Xiao Yi was not very hungry, so he went to rest on a huge rock. There is a clear breeze and bright moon, refreshed, sweeping away the tense haze for a few days, the only fly in the ointment is that this stone is not smooth enough, and the whole body is panicked.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi seemed to have figured out something, and rolled down from the stone in fright, only to see by the moonlight that the stone lying down just now was actually a mottled tombstone, and he could only vaguely distinguish part of the bright red inscription: The sky is not benevolent, Kyushu flows eastward, I want to use my own strength to correct the situation, but how to cause the punishment of the sky, the body is scattered, and the deep hatred is extremely cloudy.

Xiao Yi was already young and timid, and he was terrified for a while, and he couldn't wait to leave quickly with wings on his back, but his feet were like lead and he couldn't move, only to see the strip-shaped tombstone oozing blood, and a wisp of black smoke came to his face, and his consciousness was suddenly chaotic, the world was spinning, and he fell asleep.
