The mountains in the southwest of Yuezhou City are continuous, this mountain is called Heiyun Mountain, separating the two places of Jianghuai, towering into the clouds, covering the sky and the sun, so it is named Heiyun Mountain.

The ancients and sages traveled here, when the morning light was in full bloom, it was like the sky cracking, the golden light was shining, like the heavenly soldiers pressing the city, sighing and sighing, the poem said:

"The black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun."

The court was unkind, Emperor Li Dai neglected the temple, connived at the demon queen to confuse the court, and the people were unhappy and complained.

Under this situation, there are many righteous people who build their own armies to resist the mediocrity of the imperial court and the suffering of the people's livelihood.

A person named Wei Nianyao in Lingnan Road, this person was originally a five-list jinshi in the twelfth year of Xinkang, and he was appointed as the prince of Guozi as a young protector.

Later, due to the armor case in the capital, Yanwang Jicheng was beheaded by trumped-up charges, Wei Nianyao was heartbroken, completely lost confidence in the imperial court, and resolutely dismissed the official and returned to his hometown, abandoned the pen and followed the martial arts, and was inspired to kill the corrupt officials he saw with a sword in his life.

In the eighteenth year of Xinkang, the heroes from all over the country rose up, Wei Nianyao also had a lot of prestige in Lingnan Road because of his chivalrous deeds over the years, and held high the banner of the Yellow Sky under the general trend, and formed the Anxing Army in Jiaozhou, Lingnan Road, and he proclaimed himself the king of Anxing, and his power grew rapidly under the support of the people, and the north and south of the imperial court, and even faintly had the momentum of fighting against it.

The greater the power, the more unable to control his greed, Wei Nianyao began to immerse himself in his power and could not extricate himself, and gradually became addicted.

In the end, it was not as profound as the Dali Dynasty, and different voices soon appeared in the Anxing army, and under the coercion and temptation of the imperial court, the Anxing army began to collapse.

Anxing Wang Wei Nianyao escaped to Huainan Road in the rebellion, and the remnants of the soldiers were stationed in Heiyun Mountain and set up Heiyun Village, just waiting to regroup one day.

At this moment, in the Anxing Army Conference Hall, a middle-aged man with a long beard fluttering, his face sinking like water, his cyan robe was windless, and he twisted his beard and looked at a military map of Huainan Province on the table.

This person is Wei Nianyao, the king of Anxing who openly confronted the imperial court in the past.

"Back then, this king was an official in the court, I thought that it was the time when the demon queen was in power, and then he went into exile in the rivers and lakes to know that all this was the imperial trick of the new Kangdi Li Dai, and the court would not allow a powerful vassal king to sit on one side, and this vassal king also held heavy troops, and his prestige in the army was even more vigorous."

Anxing Wang Wei Nianyao looked at the military map and shook his head:

"Yan Wang Jicheng commanded the sixteen states of Yanyun, resisted the Mongols and Khitans with the strength of one army, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yanyun is his, it is precisely because of this that Li Dai does not allow him to live."

On the side, there was a middle-aged Confucian scholar, named Lin Xian, with his sleeves reaching to the ground, and playing with a piece of jade jade pendant in his hand, which was engraved with the words "Death at the end of the morning" with an ancient seal.

"Won't he fight back?"

The middle-aged Confucian Lin Xian asked, over the years, he always sighed whenever he recalled Ji Cheng's heroic appearance, life is only a hundred years, but in these hundred years, there are a few people who can make the hearts of men all over the world yearn for it, Li Canglan, the immortal in the rivers and lakes, and Ji Cheng in the temple is counted as one.

"Hmph."

Wei Nianyao snorted coldly, as if he had disdain and regret.

It is precisely because of Li Dai that he knows that anyone can oppose it, but he Ji Cheng will not oppose it. The Ji family has lasted for 400 years, and it has always been the humerus of the dynasty, and it has reached its peak in the generation of King Yan. Ji Cheng is not dead, Li Dai is uneasy, even if this person is dedicated to Da Li. ”

After a long silence, after a long while, Wei Nianyao said:

"Huainan Road is the place where I regroup, the failure of Ji Cheng is the benevolence of his woman, and I Wei Nianyao will not repeat the mistakes of the past, compared to the great cause of this king, it doesn't matter what thousands of people die, even if these people are just ordinary people, they will succeed and their bones will wither, as long as they can take Yuezhou City in one fell swoop, with its natural danger, plus this place is the throat of Jiangnan and Huainan, controlling Yuezhou City is the lifeblood of the entire Dali."

"When are you going to get started?"

"Just after the beginning of summer, rectify and rectify, Xiaoman sent troops."

Lin Xian bowed and slowly withdrew from the conference hall, before leaving, he looked back at Wei Nianyao inside, he was still staring at the map, with a crazy smile on his face.

"The green shade paves the field for new light, and the wind is long at the beginning."

In the sixteenth year of Xinkang, the two met for the first time, one held a sword in the rivers and lakes, the sword cut uneven things, and the other was a lupine scarf, drunk and tasted the temple.

It's just that he is not the same person he was yesterday.

Inside the city of Yuezhou.

Outside the wine shop, hearing Xiao Er's disdainful words, Xu Yue patted the shoulder of Wei Zigeng, the young man next to him, and really had a fox and a fake tiger face.

"See, master, I'm here to introduce business to you today, this son is the son of a family from Yuzhou City, do you see the knife on his waist? It's more than enough to buy you ten wine shops, so hurry up and serve wine to the master. ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to squeeze his eyebrows at Wei Zigeng on the side, and the young man was not angry, compared to some scholars who seemed to be upright and gentlemen, he liked to get along with people like Xu Yue who had no heart.

Xiao Er of the wine shop glanced up and down at the young man beside Xu Yue a few times, and saw that his weapon was magnificent, handsome and extraordinary, and then he looked at the pure white narrow long knife on his waist that was even more exquisite, even if it was just for decoration, it must be worth a lot, so he put away his contempt for the two of them, and said with a flattering smile:

"What do you want from us, this guest officer? The most famous thing in our store is our Yuezhou specialty, pomegranate flower stuffing, sweet in the mouth, soft and long......"

Wei Zigeng interrupted his introduction, took the wine gourd from the belly of the mule, handed it to Xiao Er, and said:

"Give each of us a pound of pomegranate flowers in your mouth, fill my wine gourd, and then show us some snacks, and by the way, take my mule to eat some forage, and add carrots."

After speaking, he threw him a grain of broken silver, which was as much as three taels.

"Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll make up for it, and if it's more, the rest will be a reward for you. ”

Xiao Er took the broken silver and wiped it on the linen clothes excitedly, three taels of silver were almost two days' worth in their wine shop, and the corresponding eyes of Xu Yue were much more enthusiastic.

"Enough is enough, the second master will wait a minute, the wine and food will be here soon."

The shopkeeper secretly thought in his heart that there was a wronged man who didn't know firewood, rice, oil and salt, and turned around and entered the wine shop, while Xu Yue on the side looked at Wei Zigeng on the side with some surprise.

"You are stupid, three taels of silver, no matter how much we eat and drink in this wine shop, we can't spend three taels."

Wei Zigeng took off the saber from his waist and put it on the table, took the tea cup on the table and brought himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "My family is in the inn business, can I still suffer a loss?" ”

On the wine table on the side, a big man stood up, his face was full of beard, and his whole body showed that he was not a character to be messed with. He raised his glass and walked towards the boy with heavy steps, but his eyes were only the long knife that looked like something extraordinary at first glance.

Coming to the table, the big man stretched out his hand to the long knife on the table, and said loudly: "Hahahaha, good knife, good knife, good knife." ”

The guests at the surrounding tables turned their heads to look at them with unkind smiles.

The young man turned his head slightly, glanced coldly, put one hand on the scabbard, and the other hand was still holding the tea cup, drinking tea leisurely. The big man grabbed the knife and lifted it hard, but the blade did not move.

"Huh?"

He drank the wine in the glass, smashed the glass, and changed his hands together, and the spectators went from smirking to surprise, and the wine in the glass spilled on their clothes without noticing.

"He's a master?"

Wei Zigeng calmly drank the tea in the teacup, grabbed the long knife resting on the table with one hand, and with a twist of his wrist, the big man spun around twice and then slammed on the ground, and the two front teeth were knocked out by the bluestone slab, and the blood in his mouth did not stop.

", I don't want to kill people today."

The big man stood up and covered his mouth, and the few people at the table with him followed him with a little trepidation, and left in a huff. Xu Yue re-examined this young man who had just met him, and said secretly in his heart:

"Alas, if only I had the ability of him, I wouldn't be unable to eat in this small place."
