Daqingshan, the exercise ground.

More than a dozen stones about one meter wide and three meters long were erected. Two hundred meters away from Tiaoshi, Qin Li was fiddling with a group of strong horses with a group of strong winds. Behind the team members, hundreds of officers and soldiers from Daqingshan gathered together, looking at these strange weapons in front of them with curiosity.

"If this strong beast is really as powerful as you say, then the strength of Daqingshan's defense will be doubled. Yang Zifeng looked at the strange weapons in the distance with great interest, and said to Xuanyuan Yu beside him. He was a veteran who had fought countless battles in his life, but had never seen a weapon of this kind on the battlefield, which could be called a strengthened version of the bow and arrow.

"In a few minutes, you'll be able to tell. Xuanyuan Yu smiled indifferently.

"You've worked hard this trip!" Yang Zifeng thanked from the bottom of his heart, "This kind of defensive weapon is exactly what Daqingshan needs most right now." I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea of sending us these weapons?"

"Xiao Qi, that kid felt that he was not sure to accept your money, and he always wanted to do something for you, so he urgently recruited a large number of craftsmen to drive out this batch of strong horses. However, because of the rush of time, this batch of strong horses did not meet his requirements in terms of quality and quantity, so you should use them first!" Xuanyuan Yu replied.

"You mean, this batch of strong horses was just driven out?" Yang Zifeng was surprised.

"Hmm. I rushed to work day and night, and finally rushed out before Meng Yi did anything to you. As soon as I returned to the barracks, he told me to send it to you quickly, and at the same time I was responsible for teaching you how to do it. Xuanyuan Yu nodded.

Yang Zifeng was silent.

Recalling what Zhu Xiaoqi said to him when he was in Daqingshan, he understood one thing: Zhu Xiaoqi not only saw through the conspiracy of the Rising Sun Empire from a trace of clues, but even accurately deduced where they would start. He showed the old wolf's head of the appointment on Daqing Mountain, which was actually a warning to himself.

Now, Meng Yi is really here under the banner of suppressing bandits. In the face of a huge threat, Zhu Xiaoqi and his men fearlessly chose to stand firmly with the Qingshan Wandering Spirit. As for the reason, there are no more than two points: first, he Yang Zifeng and the backbone of his gang used to be General Mu Bai's subordinates. Second, the conspiracy of the Rising Sun to annex the wolf clan is related to the safety of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but before the blade of the Rising Sun is not revealed, the soft-spoken Zhu Xiaoqi seems to be powerless to change the status quo, and can only rely on the strength in his hand to deal with Meng Yi. This righteousness, this courage, this courage, and this wisdom made him faintly feel in his heart: no matter whether this battle is won or lost, more than ten years after the death of General Mu Bai, the Li family of Jiangmen will give birth to another brave general.

"Meng Yi is here, what does the young master have to tell us?" Yang Zifeng suddenly asked. Inadvertently, he changed his name for Zhu Xiaoqi.

"Not really, but he asked me to bring you a word. ”

"What?"

"In this game of chess in the north, there are games in the game, there are games outside the game, and the spirit of Qingshan is the eye of chess. All the struggles will revolve around Daqingshan. Xuanyuan Yu smiled.

"So, should I attack, defend, or retreat?" Yang Zifeng was confused and asked with a frown.

"Do you have anyone with outstanding writing?" Xuanyuan Yu didn't answer his question, and threw out a question like a fairy flying out of the sky.

Yang Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and only replied after a while: "Yes." ”

"The battle ahead will be exciting. Ask your people to keep a battlefield diary and record the course of each battle. Xuanyuan Yu smiled.

"Battlefield diary, young master useful?" Yang Zifeng asked curiously.

"Hmm. Xuanyuan Yu nodded, "I guess, he wants the world to know what a strange war is going on in the northern land of the wolf clan, under the Daqing Mountain!"

Yang Zifeng seemed to have realized something. The exposure of the sun will make all conspiracies hidden, young master, stand high and look far away!" he secretly praised in his heart.

At dusk, several horse-drawn carriages galloped to the border checkpoint.

"Stop!" there was a loud shout from the sentry post, and two sentries with swords at their waists stepped out of the sentry post and blocked the middle of the road.

The convoy came to a halt with a sudden moment, and a burly man jumped out of the front car.

"Sentinel, please inform, Blackwater City Iron Zheng has arrived. He walked over to the sentry and said loudly.

"Lord Castle Lord, wait!" a sentry saluted him respectfully, turned and ran briskly into the camp.

"Very imposing!" Tie Zheng said with a smile as he looked at the other young sentry. The soldier didn't speak, looking curiously at the legendary Blackwater Overlord, feeling that this man was not as terrible as people said he was, at least he didn't show any anger after being stopped by them. He was even surprised to find that this mighty man did not actually look like a strong man who dominated one side, and his actions and demeanor revealed a kind of ability and toughness that only a soldier can have.

"It seems that there is really a future for following the stationmaster!" The Blackwater City Lord's admiration made him feel a strong sense of pride in his heart. He never imagined that there would be a moment in his life when the heavens of Blackwater City appeared in front of him, and he could calmly stop him with a proud posture, instead of trembling and kneeling in front of him, shouting respectfully and respectfully shouting Long live the city lord. This kind of change is the result of Zhu Xiaoqi's repeated education, because he has branded a sentence in their minds: "Sentinels are sacred and cannot be violated." Even if the old man of the emperor arrives at the gate of the border checkpoint, you have to stop him for Lao Tzu!"

"Brother Tie, why are you here in person?" Zhu Xiaoqi quickly came to the gate with the sentinel who had been announced, and greeted loudly when he saw Tie Zheng.

"When I received a message from my brother, I thought something was out of the ordinary, so I came over in person. I've brought you some of the best doctors in Blackwater City, what's going on?" Tie Zheng stepped forward and shook his hand, pointing to the carriage behind him, and asked with concern.

"Let's go inside. I'll take them to see the wounded first. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled bitterly.

While the doctors were nervously checking the condition of the wounded, Zhu Xiaoqi briefly told Tie Zheng about the injuries of several team members.

"Meng Yi, this guy is so evil?" Tie Zheng asked with a solemn expression after listening to his words.

"Not only is it evil, but its strength is quite terrifying. Zhu Xiaoqi sighed.

"Your gale can easily kill Liu Dashanren, the strength of the team members is quite considerable, I didn't expect his people to be able to hurt them with reservations. In this way, our plan is very difficult!" said Tie Zheng.

"I don't know how many of Meng Yi's subordinates there are. But judging from the current situation, Gale may not be able to fight them alone. Zhu Xiaoqi nodded.

"Sect Leader Ruan and I also have many masters above the martial arts level. But these are the last cards in our hands. Once this card is played, the hand is over. Tie Zheng said calmly, without a trace of timidity in his expression.

His words made Zhu Xiaoqi feel very reassured, and he couldn't help but look up at the city lord who didn't have much contact, his eyes were full of appreciation.

"Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?" Tie Zheng asked with a smile as he looked a little uncomfortable.

"I just noticed one thing out of the blue. Zhu Xiaoqi also smiled.

"What's the matter?" Tie Zheng asked curiously.

"I am not the only one in this world who does not know whether to live or die. ”

As soon as the words fell, the two couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

"It's not like I don't know what to live or die for. This matter is related to the safety of the empire, and as the lord of a city, I have the obligation to defend the land and protect the border, so naturally I can't sit idly by. ”

"However, Meng Yi is not attacking Tianlong at the moment!" Zhu Xiaoqi asked tentatively.

"Our Tianlong bandits, it's not his turn to suppress them. Tie Zheng smiled indifferently.

"You said you were going to kill them earlier, which turn will you get him? Zhu Xiaoqi quipped.

"I don't think I'm a good person, but I also have loyalty in my heart. Although the spirits of Qingshan are bandits, they are all righteous men for the country, the army and the people. How could I do such a stupid thing as an enemy who is happy to be a relative? Besides, the ambition of the Rising Sun Wolves, even if they don't have the Aoyama Wandering Spirit, they will find other excuses. The only and most effective way to break their minds is probably to cut off their outstretched wolf claws!" Tie Zheng said angrily.

Although he didn't know which camp Tie Zheng belonged to, his words won Zhu Xiaoqi's favor. However, it is easy to say, and the next key depends on his actions.

"So, what are your plans now?" Zhu Xiaoqi asked.

"The command of this battle has been handed over to you, and I am at your disposal at any time. Tie Zheng said simply, "I can't guarantee that my people will fight like soldiers, but I can guarantee that as long as you don't give the order to retreat, then I will only accept two endings: either kill the enemy on the way to the charge, or fall on the way to the charge!"

"If the fight goes that far, it only shows that I am incompetent. Then, whether it is to hell or heaven, I will be with you. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled and stretched out his hand to him.

The hands of the two men were tightly clasped together. Before the battle began, a kind of friendship of life and death quietly grew in their hearts, laying a good foundation for them to fight side by side.

"Wearing this uniform means that you have to take on more missions. Work hard, look forward to your appearance on the battlefield!" Tie Zheng let go of his hand, looked deeply at the military uniform on Zhu Xiaoqi's body, and said earnestly.

From his gaze, Zhu Xiaoqi read some feelings - there are memories, attachments, regrets, and heartaches, which are intertwined and mixed into an unforgettable feeling. Zhu Xiaoqi couldn't help but wonder if this heroic man had ever had an unforgettable military life. But Tie Zheng's eyes made him dare not ask questions, so he could only hide this guess in his heart.

"Actually, when we go into battle to kill the enemy, whether we wear military uniforms or not, we are all soldiers of the empire!" Zhu Xiaoqi sighed lightly.

"That makes sense!" Iron Zheng laughed, "Let's fight for a bright future together!"

The two were chatting in high spirits, when a doctor came over with a sad face, and his expression was like a basin of cold water poured on their heads.

"Lord Castle, after we checked the wounded, we analyzed the injuries together. "We can be sure that they do have a poison in their bodies. Unfortunately, our knowledge is limited and we can't tell what kind of poison it is, so there is no way to detoxify them. ”

"A bunch of waste!" Tie Zheng was furious when he heard this, "I usually blow very well one by one, but when it comes time to use you, I tell Lao Tzu that I can't do it!

"Lord Castle Lord, we've done our best!"

"My lord, this poison is so strange, we really have never seen it before!"

"Lord of the City, spare your life, we are doctors, and we will never die without help, not to mention that they are still the people you want to save!"

His words made the expressions of several doctors change dramatically, and they all turned to look at him and pleaded.

"Brother Tie, don't blame them, I believe they really can't help it. Although his heart was full of disappointment and pain, Zhu Xiaoqi still spoke out to calm Tie Zheng's anger.

"Hmph, you idiots!" a cold snort came from Tie Zheng's nostrils.

"How long can they hold out?" Zhu Xiaoqi looked at the doctor in front of him and asked softly.

"After the onset of this poison, it will gradually erode the internal organs with the blood circulation. If the situation is good, it can hold out until dusk the day after tomorrow, and the worst situation, such as the wounded, is estimated to be able to hold out until noon tomorrow. After the doctor finished speaking, he pointed to the sleeping Chen Xiaotian and said sadly.

"Okay, thank you! You can go back!" Zhu Xiaoqi nodded to the doctors.

The doctors felt a little calmer, but they all looked at Tie Zheng and didn't dare to take a breath.

"Get out!" Tie Zheng snorted coldly.

The crowd came out as if they were fit for amnesty.

"Brother, big brother didn't help you, I'm sorry!" Tie Zheng sighed, "You hurry up and think of other ways!"

"Good. Thank you, Brother Tie, please go back first!" Zhu Xiaoqi nodded gloomily.

"If something really happens to them, I will definitely accompany you on the battlefield to recover this blood debt from the enemy!" Tie Zheng finished speaking, and strode towards the door.

The room was quiet, and several of the wounded were unconscious.

This silence made Zhu Xiaoqi feel suffocated.

He used to be a weak man, so he could only watch his father drag his one arm and walk alone on the battlefield of blood and fire, he could only reluctantly accept that his beloved Xiao Min was lost in a big battle, he could only let the people in hell impose all kinds of torture on him, he could only wander alone and be bullied and pretended to be crazy and stupid in order to survive. Later, he had his own strength, Gale, he had close comrades-in-arms by his side, he entered the military camp and became the righteous son of the Li family, he embarked on a smooth path of cultivation and obtained an immortal opportunity, and he even had a happy revenge during the new training period and received a reward from the royal family. The road became smoother and smoother, and he gradually felt that he had become very strong, and his self-confidence swelled wildly.

However, at this moment, in the face of his sleeping comrades, in the face of these Gale team members who he and Xuanyuan Yu tried their best to fool and grow up under their tempering, he found that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

When they were shrouded in the shadow of death and desperately needed his salvation, he could not do anything about it. The pain of watching his brother die and not doing anything could do anything about it, like a thousand knives slashing at his heart, made him want to go crazy.

"Meng Yi, Lao Tzu is going to kill you sooner or later!" he let out a painful roar when he looked up to the sky, and tears glistened faintly in the tiger's eyes.
