When a person has peerless martial arts, then he always wants to find someone to compete.

When a person has power, he always wants to give it to others.

Petty officials and small officials, heroic people are still like this, not to mention the important ministers of the country and the officials of the frontier?

It's just that people with little energy can't afford to make any waves.

But those who hold great power can often make tens of millions of people suffer from their words and deeds.

In a word, with a sharp weapon, the murderous intent arises.

Speaking of sharp weapons.

So is the knife a sharp weapon?

The answer, of course, is.

Not only that, but when a person has a knife in his hand, then he always wants to cut something.

What is a knife? The knife is a man's guts.

The knife is strong; He also takes the lives of others and his own.

Once you get your life, you are at the end of the road, and there will be no "luck".

Luck.

If you are lucky, you will definitely be unlucky?

After all, some people are happy, and some people are sad.

So, can we be lucky? Tongxi? Nothing to be sad about?

The answer, of course, is no.

For thousands of years, they have all been unhappy, but they are all compassionate......

Let's talk back to the knife.

A knife, a weapon with a very low threshold but a very high ceiling.

In the hands of different people, but in different hands.

Some became cooks, others butchers...... Others became swordsmen.

A lot of people need knives, especially men.

After all, with a sword, a man can do a lot of things, or act chivalrous, be happy and revenge, or dominate the world; Of course, you can also kill people and overtake goods, dictate power, and cover the sky with one sword.

So, what happens when a woman picks up a knife?

Jing Chuwei walked towards the six corpses, her movements were very light, but very steady, like a little flower cat.

She slowly pulled out a shiny dagger from the satchel at her waist, and gently slashed a strange arc around the neck of each corpse.

Suddenly, the blood splashed everywhere, and the scattered blood flowers just shook in the white camellia bushes, and it seemed to be just right, dotted on the petals, white and red, and white in blood, like a mole on a beauty's face, which was very good-looking.

After a short time, the heads of the Turkic swordsmen had completely detached from their bodies, and then Jing Chuwei took out a piece of white cloth dipped in lime and packed several heads, moving skillfully and quickly, like flowing water.

Military merits can be divided into two categories since ancient times, one is the first merit, and the other is the war merit.

The exploits are mainly related to military combat operations, and she Jing Chuwei is a 'scout' who is excluded.

However, in order to motivate these special soldiers, but also to make it possible for ordinary sergeants to be promoted.

The Zisai border army specially issued the "first merit order".

In short, this merit is the first rank, that is, the number of heads killed by the soldier as a reward standard, which is said to be taken from the first-rank title system of the Qin State, and the bloody system that has been retained all the way.

The first merit of the Great Zhou Dynasty is generally different according to the target of the meritorious service, and it is mainly divided into four classes from high to low:

[Rebellion and Rebels] Fourth Rank, [Xirong Beidi] Third Rank, [Southern Barbarian Dongyi] Second Rank, [Bandit and Horse Thief] First Rank, the Zisai Border Army will give different rewards to the soldiers according to the number of heads.

In Jing Chuwei's eyes, it seems that these are not human heads, but all-you-can-eat corn and rice, and strings of hanging money that can be used to create new knives.

"I'd rather be a ghost in a prosperous world than a person in a troubled world."

The post road was very deserted and desolate, dead silent, only the sand wind roared, as if mocking the merciless killing in this troubled world.

Jing Chuwei was beside her, ignoring the headless corpses on the ground.

She just, very casually, found a headless corpse, sat still, and took out a two-inch square round hu cake from her satchel, and rubbed the sesame seeds on the surface with her slender hand, but saw that the white sesame seeds fell into the sand.

It wasn't until all the sesame seeds had been sprinkled on the sand that she stuffed the cake into her mouth.

"This 'Hu cake' came from the Western Regions, and was introduced to the Central Plains along the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, and soon became a staple food loved by officials and dignitaries and ordinary people.

"Qi Min Yaoshu" records the Hu cake - light and high, cooked as a cake, accompanied by Hu sesame seeds, Hu people sesame oil tastes very good.

It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Emperor Ling is good at Hu cakes, and the nobles and relatives of Beijing all compete to eat Hu cakes. ”

In the silence, Jing Chuwei saw a group of people coming from afar. It is said that starting from the outer city of Zisai, it has been traveling along this post road until it comes to an end. The majestic desert can be seen in the distance.

In the first year of Shiguang of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Rouran Khan - Da Tan (i.e., Mu Khan Sushenggai Khan) heard that the Ming Yuan Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty had died, and led 60,000 cavalry to attack Yunzhong of the Northern Wei Dynasty (now northwest of Helinger), killed and plundered the people, captured the former capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shengle, and surrounded the city in the clouds.

At that time, the crown prince, Tuoba Tao, was only twelve years old, but he put Zisai's military affairs in order.

He went to Hetao to defend the Zisai Great Wall and resist the invasion of Rouran, and personally led 20,000 cavalry to the rescue in the clouds. Rouran relied on the large number of people, and surrounded the Northern Wei Emperor Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao and his subordinates who rushed to the rescue. At first, the Northern Wei soldiers were very frightened.

However, this young son of heaven "often stood with the soldiers between the arrows and stones when facing the enemy, and the dead and wounded on the left and right were one after another, and the emperor looked calm." Therefore, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty "serve their lives with human thoughts and move forward". First, the attack launched by the two generals of Rouran, Dana and Shelun, was repelled by the Northern Wei army.

After that, General Rouran was shot and killed by the Northern Wei army in Zhijin, Tuoba Tao took advantage of the situation to lead the army to penetrate in depth, and the Northern Wei Dynasty struggled to assault the Rouran army, and the Rouran army was suddenly stirred up into chaos and fled in defeat.

After that, the Northern Wei Dynasty defended the Pingcheng City of Kyoto, built the Great Wall of Zisai, started from Chicheng in the east, reached Wuyuan in the west, extended more than 2,000 miles, and set up military towns and garrisons.

In order to meet the military needs, Rouran also established a set of military laws until it was defeated by the new steppe overlord Turks.

Later, Rouran's old rival, the Northern Wei, was also split into the Eastern Wei and Western Wei, and was later replaced by the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou respectively, until Emperor Wu of Zhou reunified the north.

Of course, in order to unify the north, but also to ease the relationship between Hu and Han.

Emperor Wu Yuwen Yong chose to be close to the Turks and married the daughter of the wooden pole Khan Ashina Yandu, and the two sides entered a short honeymoon period.

However, those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

Purple plug.

This dividing line between agrarian civilization and nomadic civilization has never stopped the secret war between the two sides.

And in this short seventy miles of desert buffer zone, there is only one foothold, "Erniang Inn".

Merchants from the Western Regions, heroes of the rivers and lakes, and sand bandits and horse thieves all have to rest here.

Past military errands, killers, and darts were mixed in the inn, and the fish and dragons were mixed.

The owner of "Erniang Inn", his name is Jin Erniang.

Of course, those who can open a store in such a barbaric place of tigers and wolves outside the Saiwai can be seen that they are by no means idle.

This "Erniang Inn" is a liquor store on the surface, but behind the scenes, it runs the business of a killer intermediary.

Jing Chuwei was also a "frequent visitor" of the "Erniang Inn" before joining the Zisai Border Army-'Night Doesn't Collect'.

This Jin Erniang, in normal times, is an extremely coquettish and merry woman. But when she turns into a killer intermediary, she will become a fierce and wild middleman.

And the biggest industry of "Erniang Inn" is actually to rob merchants.

Ten years after opening, I don't know how many "fat sheep" died here.

In addition to robbing money, in line with the principle of making the best use of things, the corpse of the "fat sheep" will be sent to the kitchen through secret channels......

As for why her black shop hasn't been seized by the government?

I'm sorry, she has a backer on the official face, a dead husband, a large and small officer guarding the border gates, and officials at all levels in Zisai have her old friends.

As for playing black? This Jin Erniang is the boss of the serious 800 Zisai border passes, licking blood at the knife edge here, robbing houses, killing people and goods, who dares not to give her seven points of face?

However, hob meat like Jin Erniang also has a bosom friend - Jing Chuwei

Every year, Jing Chuwei will go to the "Erniang Inn" to inquire about the information of the Western Regions of the grassland, and the strange things about the government and the opposition in the rivers and lakes.

And Jin Erniang will warmly entertain Jing Chuwei, make a pot of purple stuffed hair, and tell her a lot of stories.

It's just that those stories are all related to the so-called "buying and selling".

And every time she ended the conversation, Jin Erniang would remind Jing Chuwei that at the border pass, in Zisai, doing anything was a transaction.

If you want to get something, you have to pay for it.

But there are many times when the person who sells things also pays the price.

Every time before leaving, Jin Erniang would deliberately explain to Jing Chuwei that the so-called "defending the family and defending the country" and "acting chivalrous and righteous" were actually a piece of.

The distinction between "good" and "evil", "right" and "wrong" is never simple.

Today, because of justice and rightness, you have done a good deed of chivalry and righteousness.

Tomorrow, you will know that the one who is wrong is actually yourself.

By the time you regret it, it's too late, and no one will sympathize with you and pity you......

Jing Chuwei also has a friend who is very good at martial arts, named Cao Wuming.

It's just that Cao Wuming is not a killer.

She was just stunned every year, and she would come to the "Erniang Inn" from the south to find Jing Chuwei and Jin Erniang to drink.

Moreover, the wine that Cao Wuming brings every year has a different name and taste.

Just like this year, Cao Wuming brought a jar of wine called "Pranya Engagement" to the border pass.

According to her own words, those who have drunk this kind of wine, no matter what they used to do, will be able to understand the Tao, realize the Tao, cultivate the Tao, get rid of life and death, and become transcendent and holy.

The Diamond Sutra says: "Detached from all appearances, that is, the names of all Buddhas." ”

Prajna is the wisdom that recognizes all things and the origin of all things.

For example, when the Buddha said Prajnaparamita, it is not Prajnaparamita, but it is called Prajnaparamita.

The Buddha said that it was a last resort, not that the Buddha was attached.

That is, it is the nature of the words that are empty, and it is not for you to take it.

It is a name, because it cannot be broken, and it is destroyed, and everything is just a name.

Do you want everything in the world, which place and point, can be separated from the name? It's always a name that's playing there, and thousands of people in the world who see me, hold on to it, and have different personnel are all on their own "name".

It is obviously said to be famous, but it is obviously illusory and untrue, but fools can't jump out of this circle, so they suffer endlessly.

The Buddha wants us to deeply understand the wonderful use of the non-dwelling, to put everything in the world, such as the worldly law of the birth of the law, gently use the name of the two words, a knife to cut down, straight to the heart, a hundred, the front does not fall, the middle does not fall, and the latter continues to extinguish, like a bird flying in the air, although there are coming and going, but there is no trace to be found.

This is the wonderful use of "prajna" – nothing is unsatisfactory if people in the world can use it in human affairs.

It's just that Cao Wuming originally planned to drink this wine with the two of them, but she temporarily changed her mind, she didn't plan to give Jing Chuwei to drink, but gave the wine to Jin Erniang and handed her the recipe together.

This year's wine, the three of them did not drink.

Before leaving, Jing Chuwei said that Cao Wuming owed her a drink.

Cao Wuming smiled, and threw the sheepskin wine bag on his waist to Jing Chuwei.

After Jing Chuwei got the wine bag, she just sniffed it, but didn't drink it, and threw it back to Cao Wuming.

The two separated at the Zisai border pass, Jing Chuwei returned to 'Night Doesn't Collect', and Cao Wuming went to her hometown, and finally found her friend who traveled the rivers and lakes together, was happy to be revenged, and fought with swords and swords.......

It didn't take long for that friend to leave the house, shave his hair, and see through the red dust.

And since then, Cao Wuming has never returned to that place.

Three months later, Cao Wuming returned to the border and joined the 'Night No Collection', on the day of entering the camp, Jing Chuwei invited Cao Wuming to drink, but Cao Wuming insisted on returning Jing Chuwei's meal first.

After that, she threw the sheepskin wine bag to Jing Chuwei again.

This time, Jing Chuwei did not hesitate, pulled out the plug, raised her head and poured it, suddenly, she looked at Cao Wuming's pretty face in surprise, and said in surprise: "It's water?" ”
