There were three horses at the door, one for each of them, both men and women, both old and young.

The first person is full of beard, fierce looking, and carries a waist knife cross-body. The other two, a man and a woman, rode horses on either side of him, both of them did not look very old, the young man had a delicate face, the jade tree was in the wind, he held a folding fan in his hand, and the jade pendant was hanging from his waist, which was a bit of a romantic meaning.

The girl looks like the youngest of the three, and the childishness on her face has not yet faded, but she has also been slim, and her slender figure can already be seen vaguely, and when she grows completely, she will definitely be a beauty.

At her waist, she also wore a black sheath sword, and a precious emerald orb was inlaid in her gauntlet, which emitted wisps of emerald green light in the night.

The three of them raised their eyes and could faintly see the thin horse in the courtyard and a little fire in the main hall.

"He Daxia, there are people inside."

The saber youth reminded.

"Who would stay here overnight in this ruined temple in the wilderness and forest, it is none other than those legendary mountain spirits."

The girl's heart is straight and fast.

She has grown up so big, she has been growing up under the protection of her father and senior brother, and this time she only came out to meet the world with her senior brother and that Qin Gongzi.

The man with the sword surnamed He scolded him, "Senior sister, don't be rude." ”

He said in a deep voice, "Nowadays, when we go out, we are no more comfortable than when we are in the dart game, and we must not underestimate anyone when we walk the rivers and lakes." ”

He turned his head and glanced at the young man with a folding fan again, "Young Master Qin, it's getting late today, why don't you rest here for the night, let's go first to see who the other party is." ”

"Yes", the young man put away the folding fan in his hand, smiled, and nodded slightly.

The three of them tied their horses to the stone pier outside the door, the bearded man walked in the front, the fan boy was in the center, and the sword girl walked slowly in the back.

When they came to the main hall and saw that there was only one young man who was not very old and looked like a scholar, the three of them were relieved.

The other party should just be a scholar who stays here overnight.

With Lu Guan's divine thoughts that have been promoted many times, in fact, he had already discovered the traces of the three of them as early as when they appeared three miles away from the temple.

Seeing the three of them, he suddenly raised his head, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, he hurriedly got up, and asked vigilantly, "What are the three of you doing?" ”

After seeing the appearance of the scholar in front of them, the three of them completely relieved their hearts, and they were a poor scholar who did not understand the world.

The man with the saber raised his hand and clenched his fists, "In Hecheng, Shuobei Dart Bureau, Wangquan County, Xiajingzhou, the three of us are late in our journey today, and we want to rest here for the night." ”

When the scholar heard that the other three were not the robbers who blocked the road and robbed, he was obviously relieved, his face was kind, and he hugged his fists and returned the salute, "It turned out to be He Daxia, disrespectful and disrespectful, this temple is now a borderless place, please take it." ”

However, due to his lack of experience in the rivers and lakes, he pretended to be calm when he hugged his fists, and his bookish anger was too strong, so he looked a little nondescript.

He Cheng didn't care about this amount of courtesy, but asked with a smile, "I don't know the surname of Gongzi?" ”

"In Xialuguan, from the side of the Daling Dynasty, this trip is a trip."

The three of them froze when they heard this, but quickly covered it up.

Lu Guan took in the expressions of the three of them, it seemed that the grievances and grievances in the history of the Daling Dynasty and the Yushui Kingdom had penetrated into the hearts of the people of the two countries, otherwise he would not have shown such an expression when he heard the identity of his Daling clan.

The three of them caught a glimpse of the dry food in the hands of the scholar in front of them, and suddenly understood, estimating that it was a child of an old family who had fallen into the middle of the road on the side of the Daling Dynasty, and he was studying from the orthodox Confucian child.

The three of them disdained this in their hearts, and those barbarians in the north liked to engage in these bells and whistles, and they also advocated ancient rites in the name of advocating ancient rites.

But none of the three deliberately laughed at the scholar in front of them.

After a few words of greeting between the two sides, He Cheng gestured with his eyes, and it didn't take long for the three of them to imitate the young scholar on the other side of the main hall and build a bonfire.

The three of He Cheng sat together, and the bearded man instructed his junior sister to go outside and bring in the food and water on horseback.

The little girl was very attentive, and immediately ran out as soon as she got up.

When she got it back, the three of them sat around the campfire, munching on the dried meat they had prepared and whispering to each other.

The little girl smiled with her eyebrows, and her words were full of novelty, "Senior brother, that person is a Northern Barbarian, a living Northern Barbarian, I have seen it for the first time in my life." ”

Due to the historical grievances between the two countries, even if the border between the two sides is safe now, there is very little mutual exchange between each other, and basically the state of well water does not interfere with river water, and the people of the two countries rarely go to each other's territory, and even if there is, most of them are spy agents who hide identity detection information.

West Dao Lingzhou is divided into north and south by Wangjiang River, for hundreds of years, due to the deliberate rendering of the two overlords of the north and south, the two sides are the same as water and fire, the south is called the north as the Di people, and the north is not far behind by the Dajing Dynasty as the head of a dry country, giving the south a barbarian contempt title.

And because the Daling Dynasty is located in the north of the Yushui Kingdom, and the two countries have a long history of grievances, so the people of the Yushui Kingdom are called the Northern Barbarians.

He Cheng smiled and ate a mouthful of dried meat, chewed it and swallowed it, and then said unhurriedly, "In the years when I was on an errand in our border army of the Imperial Water Country, I was often able to see those northern barbarians on the other side at the border pass. ”

Qin Gongzi glanced at the sword-carrying man beside him in surprise, and said, "I didn't expect He Daxia to have such an experience in the army, can you tell me in detail." ”

Sensing the inquiring gaze cast by the bearded man, Qin Gongzi smiled a little embarrassedly, and he explained, "He Daxia and Miss Zhu don't know, I have always admired the general Qi of our Imperial Water Country, and it is rumored that he sat step by step from a border soldier to the position of a general of a country, so I just want to know about the border military deeds, so as to speculate on the life of that general." ”

He Cheng nodded, agreeing with Qin Gongzi's words, he chuckled lightly and waved his hand, "Actually, it's nothing, the border army, stationed on the border of a country, has a great responsibility, and you must always be vigilant against the possible changes of the northern barbarians, which is hard, and you can only know what the situation is when you get to the place." ”

He swallowed the last piece of jerky in his hand and continued, "Although in the past ten years, the Northern Barbarians have reduced the number of troops stationed on the border of our country due to the pressure of the Northern Dajing Dynasty, and the border between the two sides has gradually become peaceful. ”

"But in my day, it was a completely different story."
