Fengzhou is the northernmost state capital of Izumo Province, although it borders Liangzhou and Yingchuan, but it has not been able to get any help from the two adjacent states, but because of the barrier of Fengzhou, Liang and Yingzhou continue to live a good life with more peace of mind.

Although there has been no large-scale war between Izumo and Northern Hungary for many years, it has been harassed by Northern Hungarian rangers every year, and the friction on the border has never been interrupted.

Thirteen peaks in Izumo are located at the junction of the two countries, serving not only as a border divide, but also as a barrier to the northern Hungarians, and each peak is equipped with beacons for early warning, and if an enemy is found in any place, wolf smoke will be released, and warnings can be seen throughout the entire territory of the city.

For hundreds of years, the beacon smoke has not really stopped, and this year the situation is the most critical, and it is the first time in history that thirteen beacon towers have risen at the same time.

When he first entered the boundary of Fengzhou, Yun Hao was a little surprised, he thought that the people here would be frightened and not go out because of the war, or pack up their softness and prepare for the escape at any time, but all the way I saw was that the people lived as usual, and they were not affected by the border war at all.

What surprised Yun Hao even more was the folk customs here, both young and old wore swords, even the women who were washing clothes by the river, they also had a washing stick on one side and a hunting knife on the other, and even the children's usual toys were real weapons.

When a country even needs women and children to take up arms, it is by no means a blessing for the country, but this country should be glad that there are still such people, when the imperial court allows foreign races to rob the border people, there can be these people who are still defending the country, they do not complain about the heavens and people, do not steal their lives, do not betray their homeland, they use the knife in their hands to let the raiders know that this is the closure of the state, the murder stopped.

When passing through another small town, Yun Hao also found a strange phenomenon, that is, almost every household is holding a banquet, just like the village that passed before, weddings and funerals account for half of each other, and even two adjacent families, one is a daughter-in-law and the other is hanging a mourning flag.

Red and white clash is a taboo thing, but the people here don't seem to think so, originally Yun Hao thought that the village had special customs, who knew that it was a similar situation after a few towns.

When passing by the current town, I happened to meet a team of marrying relatives, there were not many people in the team, there were only seven or eight people, not even a sedan chair, and the bride on the back of the groom official did not have a bright wedding dress, only a red head rope bento was a hijab, but everyone was enthusiastic and elated, and even the people who beat the gongs and drums were very energetic.

Shangguan Luoyi, Wanyan Duxue, and Hua Yanxi couldn't help but stop and watch when they saw the wedding team, looking at the happy and sweet appearance of the couple, and their eyes showed envy and blessing.

At this time, Yun Hao noticed that there was a ragged and unkempt person in the distance, who was barefoot and caught up with the marrying team, only to see him take out a suona from his waist and play it, don't look at him sloppy but the suona is wiped very brightly, but the tone that blows out is really not flattering, like an old donkey pulling a broken car is extremely harsh.

But the strange thing is that the wedding procession does not seem to be disgusted, and the gong and drum corps in front of it also cooperates with the beating, so that the original joy is all out of tune, and the bride and groom laugh even more happily.

"Isn't this here to make trouble? Why are these people so happy? Yun Hao gouged out his ears, trying to pull out all the piercing joy.

Hua Yanxi sighed at this time: "I know this person, he is very famous in Fengzhou, whether it is a red or white happy event, as long as he knows, he will definitely appear, at first everyone drove him, but then after knowing his story, he couldn't bear to drive it away, and then it slowly became a habit, if he didn't show up one day, this red and white thing seemed to be missing something, so before marrying or mourning, people would go out of their way to inform him." ”

Shangguan Luo Yi had always been interested in this kind of strange news, and immediately asked, "What kind of story does he have that can make everyone treat him like this?" ”

Hua Yanxi said: "I also heard it, and I don't know if it's right, it is said that this person was originally a junior colonel in the army, although he had never been on the battlefield but was very eager to go into battle to make meritorious contributions, and then he finally waited for an opportunity、、、"

Xiao Colonel was originally just a member of the food protection team, and he was almost destined to be unable to go into battle to kill the enemy, but one day he received the task of going to the front line, and he was so excited that he couldn't do it, but after receiving the order, he knew that going to the front line was to go to the front line, but not to let him

Kill the enemy, but escort a team of musicians to the front of the battle to boost morale.

Although he was unwilling, the little school could only act according to orders, but he looked down on these musicians from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't believe that those few broken instruments could boost morale, so he didn't give a good face along the way.

It was on the third night of their entry into the prairie, after the campfire had been lit, the little colonel hid in the hay heap as usual, he did not like to mingle with the musicians, especially on that day when he was also contaminated with the wind and cold, so he hated the scene of commotion.

Just when he was dazed by the cold and fever, he felt that someone was feeding him water, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was an old musician among the musicians, and the old musician took care of him regardless of his previous suspicions, which touched the little school very much, and the two began to chat with each other.

The old musician also jokingly told him that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and the Northern Huns are even more murderous and kill Zhongzhou people when they see them, but the only thing is not to kill the musician.

The school asked curiously why? The old musician told him that the Northern Huns believed that shamans were good at music and dancing, so if they didn't kill the musician, they would have a musical instrument on their bodies to save their lives.

The little school jokingly asked the old musician to teach him a song to save his life, just when the old musician taught the little school to use a musical instrument, the fire of the camp attracted the attention of the Northern Hungarian scouts, and in an instant dozens of war horses rushed into the camp to kill people when they saw them, and the small school dragged the sick body and carried the knife to want to fight with the Northern Hungarian cavalry, but was knocked out by the old musician and hid in the hay.

When the colonel woke up again, he found that there was not a single living hole left in the camp, and the old musician was also lying in a pool of blood, and before he died, he was still holding the steel knife that he had taken from the colonel's hand, and the knife wound on his body could prove that he had fought bravely until he died until he died.

And the school also found that there was an extra suona on his waist, a life-saving suona、、、

After that night, the school with a high fever walked on the grassland for three days and three nights with the old musician on his back, and when he entered Fengzhou, the people were already burned and confused, and then the grain transportation team lost a small school full of ambition, and Fengzhou has since had an out-of-tune crazy musician.

After hearing this story, Shangguan Luoyi's eyes were slightly red, and he just muttered, "I really want to go and have a glass of wine." ”
