In the early morning, the snow finally stopped, the sky and the earth were white, and the grass and trees were frosty.

Suddenly, a round of the morning sun, like a girl's beautiful face, slowly jumped out of the hill, across the sky, presented under the gaze of the mountains and rivers, revealing an extremely brilliant light, dispelling the annoying snow and dust, shrouding the wide Juma River.

For a time, on the Juma River, the sun was shining; The vast riverbed, mixed with the fierce north wind, faintly, set off the Jingbei military camp that stretches for dozens of miles on both sides of the strait.

Yongping City, Jingbei camp.

Nowadays, it is the middle of December, Gyeonggi in the deep winter, Yan Yan is clean, outside the city of Yongping, the field is a withered yellow, as if it has just been washed, washing away the cold in the cold winter wax moon, as if there is nothing.

At this moment, the sun is rising, the blue sky is vast, the Juma River is frozen for thousands of miles, and a majestic Jinzhou Qingbailuan flies through the air, as if it was shocked by some powerful momentum, let out a clear roar, and flapped its wings to fly to the north.

On both sides of the Juma River, there is a camp in Jingbei that stretches for dozens of miles and looks like a long dragon. I saw that the front of the camp was covered with snow, and the king was hunting; The roaring northwest wind, enveloped in a fierce roar, swept up a vast snow mist, covering the sky and the sun, blowing through the continuous military camps under the city of Yongping, bringing the bloody flesh of Huma from the northern grasslands.

At this time, the morning mist was rising, the sky had not yet brightened, and the entire imperial capital of Shangjing was still silent in sleep at the moment, and even the sun in the sky had just climbed up the hill, only slightly revealing a little faintly visible light.

The sun is faint, and in the huge camp, the three majestic Jingbei Army Corps stand impressively, and these three legions are the three main forces that condense into more than 200,000 Jingbei Army: the North Camp, the East Camp and the West Camp.

Among them, the Beidaying is the descendant of Xiao Changling, the king of Qin, who followed His Royal Highness the King of Qin all the year round, went north to conquer, went south to attack Chu, and killed the Rouran barbarians, which was a strong force that Xiao Changling relied on to dominate on the battlefield; Dongdaying is also the division of a hundred battles, the old department of the Qin family father and son for 20 years, and the combat power is self-evident; As for the Western Battalion, this is Xiao Changling's unified reorganization on the basis of the three troops of the Yanjing Battalion, the Northern Hebei Cavalry and the Six Towns Garrison, merging these 83,000 soldiers into one part and giving it the name "West Battalion", and the two armies of the Beidaying and the East Battalion are collectively called the "Three Major Battalions".

In this way, the 200,000 athletes of the three battalions jointly built the famous and invincible Jingbei army under Xiao Changling.

In an instant, the military academy field was killed, with spears like a forest and flags like a sea; Under the glow of the winter sun, thousands of cold spears and spears, with the help of the reflection of the morning glow, shine with layers of sharp guns, the long wind blows, pulls the flag, and beats the rumbling sound like ocean waves.

In the forest of sharp guns, thousands of war horses, standing still, countless black cavalry, wrapped in the armor that has not seen a trace of light, riding a high-headed horse, the straight posture, the fierce eyes, as if in the silence set off the murderous aura of Qi Tian, so that the birds are frightened, and the beasts escape.

Heaven and earth, sun and moon, all condensed for it.

This is the black cavalry of the Northern Battalion, a blood-devouring iron cavalry that has killed countless people, with black armor and fast horses...... The butcher's knife passed through, but there were only corpses everywhere.

The vast military academy field is divided into three sections: left, center, and right. The tens of thousands of black horsemen, riding horses and condensing in the middle of the school field, and the positions on both sides are not empty, there are two armies, one is the 3,000 "white horse volunteers" belonging to the east camp, and the other is the 2,000 "tiger and leopard horses" of the west camp.

The most elite iron cavalry of the three Jingbei armies, black and white, some are covered in black armor, and some are dressed in white armor, like a black and white game on a chessboard......

It was only at this time that the last touch of gloom on the horizon completely faded. The bright sunshine gently lifted the layers of clouds, projected on the vast land in front of him without reservation, projected on the military academy field, reflecting the cold light on the top of the tip of the Jingbei boy's gun, bringing infinite light to this world.

The camp is very large, very large, looking at the layout of the joint camp of twenty miles, the military village is like a cloud, the camp tent is in the shape of a full moon, the most central area, it is the Chinese army shogunate of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, it is not very far from the camp gate, climb the mica watchtower, you can overlook the entire Jingbei camp, where the field of vision can reach, there is a large area of flags covering the sun.

As soon as the sky was bright, in the depths of the huge barracks, there were crowds of people, and the sound of pots, bowls, scoops, and basins came from the kitchen. In the sky above the barracks, the king flag with the word "Xiao" stood in the morning breeze, hunting and flying, raising a long black shadow.

At this moment, 200,000 Jingbei soldiers are ready to go. Because, three days later, this team that has just conquered Dragon City and raised its power outside the world, under the leadership of the king of Jingbei, will once again embark on the mighty Northern Expedition, shining swords in the desert, and fighting hand-to-hand with the tyrannical and self-proclaimed "steppe falcons" of the northern barbarians, duel with men and women, until they admit defeat, and no longer dare to plunder an inch of the territory of the Great Zhou.

Although it is an expedition of the army, everyone is lightly armed, with a majestic posture of holding their heads high and looking forward to it; At this time, for these 200,000 sons, the wind and frost outside the plug, the neighing of Huma, and the long journey cannot withstand the pride of expanding the territory and the majesty of the desert. Because, they firmly believe that the Jingbei boys, who came from the north, all the way to the golden iron horse, the blade of the blade, created the Great Zhou Empire that swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger......

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

Outside the tent of the Chinese army, the roar shook the sky, and the flag of Xiao Ziwang flew in the wind.

In an instant, I heard the sound of drums. On the other side of the camp, countless black-armored wolves howled and guarded, with the drumbeat one after another, one after another, pestle the long halberd in their hands. With the roar of shouting and cheering, this sound of a halberd slammed into the ground, like a war drum that sounded like a clanging war, and the momentum was magnificent.

In the midst of the iron cavalry of the spear and halberd, under the fierce gaze of a group of wolf howling guards, two tall and upright figures broke into everyone's sight:

The sun shone all over the barracks.

Xiao Changling held the sword, the sword aura was like a rainbow, the cold light of the blade flickered, and it collided with Xue Lancheng's blade abruptly, banging, and from time to time there were faint sparks.

I saw that this unborn king of Jingbei was still in white-clothed armor, holding a long sword, his angular face, with a few locks of flowing black hair, flying wantonly in the cold wind of the extreme north, a pair of dark eyes like ink, condensing the cold light of Senran, like waves hitting a stone cliff, rolling up a thousand waves.

Under the royal flag, Xiao Changling, dressed in white, rose with a sword, slightly bent his peugeot Yangyue lips, and the sun poured on his handsome face, shining and sublimating, making him more and more heroic and quiet.

At the same time, standing opposite Xiao Changling was Xue Lancheng, the general of Jingbei, wearing armor and a blue cloak like the wind.

The sword is the Chengying sword, and the knife is the Jingbei sword.

One sword and one sword, the jade dragon cold blade, and one sword frost and cold fourteen states.

The masters are in a position, and most of them are not very gorgeous; What's more, whether it is Xiao Changling or Xue Lancheng, they are all on the road of the most rigid to the yang; After a few temptations, Xiao Changling raised his hand, and the sword blade immediately became clear, and the sword qi outside the tent suddenly ran horizontally.

Boom!

The swords struck each other, and the cold light was cold.

Xue Lancheng held the knife in both hands, the blade opened and closed widely, and he wanted to pick up the knife and cut off Xiao Changling's sword like a dragon and snake, but Xiao Changling saw through it at a glance. Xiao Changling held the sword with his backhand, and Chengying suddenly attacked, and this light sword actually forced Xue Lancheng to retreat three steps in a row.

"Good!"

The wolf howling guards surrounding the shogunate of the Chinese army, as well as some heavily armored knights of the Tiefu Tu, all applauded loudly, not only to cheer for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but also to cheer for the Governor of Xue.

The two went back and forth a few times, Xue Lancheng gradually fell into the wind, his internal breath began to be disordered, and his footwork was slightly weak; At this time, the first tiger general of the Iron Floating Slaughter, who had led his troops to attack Dragon City and swept away the Tiger Silu Duo, was also helpless when facing the fierce sword wind of His Royal Highness King Qin, and he was reluctant to block several times, and even the tiger's mouth trembled slightly.

Seeing that he couldn't fight for a long time, Xue Lancheng seemed to be a little impatient, he suddenly shouted, the whole person jumped up in the air, and the Jingbei knife slashed down in the air, and the awe-inspiring knife momentum flashed with a knife, and went straight to Xiao Changling's door.

Xiao Changling's voice did not move, his expression was as cold as ice, but he flicked his wrist slightly, and the tip of the sword of Chengying was like a poisonous snake spitting out the core, and it was lightly picked at an extremely strange angle, close to the blade of Jingbei, and cut out a dark sword shadow, and the sword momentum was like thunder, and it broke through two sword lights in a row.

The two blades directly intersected several times, striking out sporadic firelight.

The sound of the blade rubbing and the shaking of the armor swept up like the wind in front of King Qin's handsome tent, and it resounded all over the gate.

Xiao Changling and Xue Lancheng, the two come and go like the wind, their bodies are as light as swallows, their steps are as fast as electricity, and they are like no one. Xiao Changling made a sword, and his swordsmanship was hearty; Xue Lancheng used a knife and danced vigorously, attacking and defending each other.

But when it comes to the sharpness of the moves, Xiao Changling is still better. His swordsmanship, chic and arbitrary, is like a waterfall practice, pouring down. Seeing that the Jingbei knife attack was unavoidable, Xiao Changling turned sideways, easily dodged Xue Lancheng's blade blow, and immediately lifted the long sword, bounced off the sword wind of the Jingbei knife, and borrowed his strength; In an instant, a snow-bright sword blade with cold light, like an arrow breaking free from the bowstring, went straight to Xue Lancheng's chest......

As soon as this sword move came out, Xue Lancheng was forced to retreat again and again, and he didn't even have time to raise the knife, so he could only take a defensive position; Seeing this, Xiao Changling hurriedly withdrew the sword in his hand, so as not to really hurt the other party.

For a moment, outside the silent tent of the Chinese army, a thunderous cheer erupted.

"The king is mighty!"

"The king is mighty!"

At this time, Xue Lancheng put the knife into the sheath and stepped forward to respectfully clasp his fists and salute. Xiao Changling stood with his sword in his hand, took the hot towel handed by his own soldiers, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile.

"Lan Cheng, Lone is not yet seventy or eighty, you don't have to deliberately let Lone."

Xue Lancheng smiled.

"The king is heroic and powerful, and his swordsmanship is outstanding, and the last general can hardly parry!"

Xiao Changling looked up to the sky and laughed, slammed the Chengying long sword to the ground, and patted Xue Lancheng on the shoulder.

"Lan Cheng, you are the chief general of Tiefutu, and you are the great hero who swept through Longcheng, this time in the north, I hope that the general can make persistent efforts, make meritorious contributions to the Great Zhou, and raise the prestige of my Jingbei army!"

"The last general is willing to follow the king to the death!" Xue Lancheng clenched his fists and replied loudly.

"I'm willing to follow the king to the death!"

Countless Jingbei soldiers were excited, and the cold wind was howling, which made the Jingbei children more interested and angry.

In the camp, the chanting of tens of thousands of people and the beating of war drums blended into one. The sound of songs, drums, and wind, accompanied by the sound of the pestles and halberds of the Jingbei soldiers, gradually became a vast ocean.

This song is written by Xiao Changling, the king of Qin, and composed by Queen Dugu Yuanji, a Jingbei war song ,—— "Stepping on Kyushu".

This song is so subdued and frustrated, cracking stones and flowing clouds, resounding through the Juma River.

"Thousands of mountains and wilderness,

The wilderness is boundless, and the river is locked.

Lock the big river and slash the wolf.

and his son went to the country to die.

Thousands of mountains, lock the river.

Kill the wolf and go to the country.

Bury my bones beside the high mountains.

Lead me to shoot the black sun with a longbow. ”

……

At noon, the north wind raged.

The wind carried the snow and dust, blowing through the continuous military camp, rolling the king's flag crackling.

The tent of the commander of the Chinese army, the lights are dim, and there is a pot of charcoal burning in the tent, and the flames are crackling. A handsome figure in white stood beside the fire, and the firelight floated on his body, as if coated with a layer of rainbow shadow and draped in a red robe, which was pleasing to the eye.

Suddenly, dressed in white, he turned away from the fire and walked slowly towards the military case.

At this moment, Xiao Changling took off his armor and changed into a white dress with narrow sleeves and tight body, his hair was tied with a crown, the wind god was handsome, and the two sword eyebrows were obliquely inserted into the temples, looking heroic; Xiao Changling, dressed in white, sat in the tent of the Chinese army, and was looking intently at a topographic map spread out on the case.

At this moment, a wolf howling guard in black armor hurriedly broke into the big tent.

"My lord, someone outside the tent wants to see you."

Xiao Changling didn't look up, still staring at the topographical map, and a cold sword light rippled between his eyebrows.

"What people?! The army is about to start, and no one will be seen! ”

Wolf Howling Guard glanced around, then lowered his voice and said cautiously.

"It's ......, it's Miss Four."

Wan'er!

When he heard this familiar name, Xiao Changling raised his head in astonishment, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his keen and calm eyebrows; From Shangjing to Yongping City, although it is only an eighty-mile foot, Wan'er is a woman after all, and she can't ride a horse, Xiao Changling doesn't understand, how did she come to Yongping City......

But soon, Xiao Changling retracted his slightly startled eyes and reprimanded him.

"Why didn't you tell Lone earlier!"

After that, Xiao Changling stood up and didn't look back, leaving only the stunned wolf howling guard, standing in the tent in a daze, while he himself walked out of the tent quickly; However, when the King of Qin left, Wolf Xiaowei couldn't help laughing, up and down Jingbei, everyone knows that this King of Qin in his own family seems to be cold and arrogant, dissolute, and has a son's temperament, but in fact, he is extremely gentle in his bones, especially once he has someone who wants to protect him desperately, he will do his best to do anything for her.

Sure enough, Xiao Changling walked out of the camp tent and stared at it, but saw that a bright and beautiful shadow was standing outside the gate, it was her, definitely her! The beautiful face, the long hair like a waterfall, and a pair of eyes full of affection, like the daffodils in the painting, are like shadows and illusions, presented in front of Xiao Changling's eyes.

The winter light and shadow are mottled, illuminating Miss Xie Si's peach blossom eyes, on the smiling and delicate cheeks, the ink eyelashes are moving, the red lips are closed, the extremely noble state, the beautiful color, a smile, as if they are all Jiayi Emperor Ji who walked out of the Danqing picture scroll, the eyebrows are flowing, there are quiet, elegant, coquettish, and more flawless and pure ......

Seeing Xiao Changling standing outside the camp, looking forward to it, the tension and joy on Xie Wanxin's face couldn't help but become a little stronger.

The sun was shining, and on the young man's cold face, two points of golden light were sprinkled, one on the eyebrows, and the other on the corners of the eyes; His white clothes are better than snow, shining as in the past, and his eyes are like white jade and his body is like a mountain.

At this moment, Xie Wanxin vaguely remembered the scene when she first met Xiao Changling that day.

I still remember that at that time, he was the king of Rencheng who was freshly dressed and angry, the jade tree was in the wind, and the posture of the dragon and phoenix; On the bank of the Jade Belt River, he was dressed in white and fought with a sword, protecting himself in front of him in a chic manner, facing the horse bandits alone. Under the reflection of the spring and March, he spurred his horse, rode the dust, dressed in the spring morning light, and only smiled at her on the horse, just such a glance has made her unforgettable for life.

"How did you get to the camp?" Xiao Changling had a smile on his face, and slowly walked to the gate, but when he saw Wan'er's eyes slightly blue, guessing that she must have not closed her eyes all night, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and sighed.

"Alas, I've been busy with military affairs these days, and I can't spare time to see you, so you can't rest well."

Xie Wanxin's hands trembled slightly, and her eyes were sparkling with tears, engraved with indescribable attachment and reluctance.

"I came out without telling my family. I know that Erlang is going to go on the expedition in three days, and I just want to take a look at you before you leave. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Changling smiled even more, and gently pinched the thin cheeks of the woman in front of him.

"You, naughty ......"

As she spoke, Xie Wanxin suddenly took off a cyan jade pendant from her slender waist, put it in Xiao Changling's hand, and slowly closed her hand and covered it in her palm; Xiao Changling's posture is upright, and his hands are also very slender and durable, with distinct roots and bones, and there is a great masculine beauty.

Quietly, Xie Wanxin's eyes were slightly red, and she stared affectionately at Xiao Changling's warm face covered under the cold and desert exterior, as if she wanted to imprint his appearance in the bottom of her heart.

"Erlang is the god of war in the world, and he is also Wan'er's Erlang. Lang Jun galloped on the battlefield, Wan'er is a weak woman, can not accompany Jun's side, only send this thing to Lang Jun's side, this is when I was born, my father asked for me in the White Horse Temple, Erlang saw this jade pendant, just like seeing Wan'er. I only hope that Your Highness will take care of himself, turn evil into good fortune in everything, and win the victory. ”

Suddenly, the corners of Xiao Changling's lips moved slightly, he had a thousand words to confide, but he didn't say anything after all. He just raised his hand slowly, gently caressing Xie Wan's beautiful jade face, and the cocoon on the palm of His Royal Highness King Qin was as hot as a soldering iron.

Xiao Changling was silent.

After a long time, he gradually lowered his arm and tied the jade pendant to the hilt of Chengying's sword; Since then, His Royal Highness King Qin's portable sword, the head of the "Four Famous Swords in the World" that has devoured countless blood, has an extra green jade pendant sword spike out of thin air, adding a different kind of bright color.

"Erlang, you have to promise me one thing." Xie Wanxin's long eyelashes flickered slightly at this moment, and her cheeks revealed a bit of ruddyness.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Changling was quite curious, and looked at the woman in front of him with a deep gaze that he had never seen before.

"This expedition, no matter what the final result is, promise me that I will come back safely."

Xie Wanxin's sentence doesn't have too much affection, it's just an ordinary sentence that can't be more ordinary; This simple sentence conveys the care of a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love with her lover.

When he heard Wan'er's tender words, Xiao Changling smiled heartily, he stretched out his hand, tightly held Xie Wanxin's soft and Hao wrists, and attached them to the palm of his hand.

"Wan'er, don't worry, I've never seen any tragic battles after so many years of fighting in the south and the north?! But if it's not a triumphant return, you believe me, this time is no exception. I, Xiao Changling, will not only return safely and stand in front of you safe and sound, but also take my Jingbei Army and return with great achievements. ”

Xie Wanxin raised her head, just touching Xiao Changling's burning gaze, the girl's delicate bright eyes rippled with the tenderness of a summer night, and two lines of tears were gurgling down her eyes.

Xiao Changling wiped away the tears from her face, suddenly picked up Xie Wanxin's crimson cheeks, hugged her into his arms, and stroked her soft and flowing long hair.

"Wan'er, when I come back, we will get married, I want three books and six ceremonies, and marry you."

At this moment, Xie Wanxin's eyes were already full of tears, quietly snuggling in Xiao Changling's broad embrace, silent, only hoping that this moment could last forever.

At this time, Xiao Changling lowered his head and intersected with Xie Wanxin. Although she only applied a little powder today, the pale cyan dress set off her picturesque eyebrows, and she was extremely beautiful.

The snow has not melted, reflecting the shadow of the two kissing, looming.

Facing the vast sky and the vast earth, the two made a vow sincerely.

"The emperor is above, and the thick soil is proof! I, Xiao Changling, only want to marry Wan'er as a wife in this life, one generation after another, two hearts promise, accompanied by Qing, this life is unswerving! ”

"A lifetime from generation to generation, two hearts promise each other, and the king will grow old for the rest of your life!"

This night, the night is in bondage.

……

The next day, the imperial court issued an edict:

Youzhou Mu, Du Du You, Hebei, and the military of the three states, and the marshal of Xingtai in the north - Xiao Changling, the king of Qin, with the title of general of the expedition to the north, was awarded the hussar general, led the captain, gave the jade seal and gold charm, ordered the army, and led the 200,000 troops out of the customs in a few days, waved north, and pointed the sword at the court.
