At dawn, the sun rises and falls.

The sky was vast and the sea of clouds was churning.

A round of the sun rises in the east, the dawn fills the sky, and the wind rolls. The green and yellow grass and trees of the northern wilderness, under the ravages and abuse of the wild sand outside the plug, appear humble, resolute and stubborn, exuding the unique coldness of winter everywhere, reflecting a vast floating light.

In the first month of the second year of Tiansheng, inside and outside Jinyang, it was extremely dry and cold. At this time, just after New Year's Day, a touch of scorching in the cold winter season quickly spread under the backdrop of this gust of cold wind.

Until the night of the twelfth day, in the dark night, an extremely rare southeast wind suddenly blew, the stumps and leaves on the trees were swept away, the wind was summoned, countless monster-like clouds, rolling back and forth in the sky, pressing towards the sky above Jinyang, from time to time flying a group of crows, making a terrible cry, but also added a bit of desolation to the Jingbei Wangcheng of the vast northern territory of the Great Zhou Empire, setting off a large area of gloomy cold, no, to be precise, murderous! Surging murderous aura!

After a while, the black clouds faded, the shadows appeared, and the sky was overcast.

The wind is hunting, blowing the banner of the palace and the city is flying, and the Jingbei warriors are holding swords and standing solemnly.

Under the morning light, the palace of King Qin was silent.

This palace mansion that stands in the central axis of the northeast of Jinyang City, was originally Xiao Changling's "Zhenbei General's Mansion" when he was the king of the city, and then successively changed its name to "Zhengbei General's Mansion", "Hussar General's Mansion", "Taiwei's Mansion", "General's Mansion", "Generalissimo's Mansion", until Xiao Changling was officially named the King of Qin, only on the basis of the original general's shogunate, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were levied and expanded, which lasted three years, and finally completed the current Qin Palace.

It is said to be a royal palace, but the majesty and magnificence of its entire palace city are not only incomparable with the Shangjing Imperial Palace, but even inferior to the Danyang Palace in the south; In addition to the two gardens that are used to handle the important affairs of the military aircraft every day, in the palace of the king of Qin, there are also buildings such as Wutong Fang, Xingqing Hall, Da'an Palace, Ningqing Pavilion, Xuanyuan Towering Tower and Agarwood Pavilion, there are many side halls, with pavilions and pavilions, covering an area of more than 300 acres, and outside the palace, the east wall of Guocheng has added a clamp city, like a sharp blade, the palace and the general's palace are split from it, as for the sandwich city at the southern end of the palace, it is connected with the "Tianzhu Admiral Camp".

Royal Palace, West Garden.

Until the early morning of the day, the sky gradually cleared. The palace of the Qin Dynasty under the shroud of the sun, the grass and trees are verdant, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and among the clusters of gorgeous flowers, it exudes the last touch of thick green; For a time, in the depths of the West Garden, there was the fragrance and fragrance of plum blossoms.

The flowers attack people, through the tall and straight poplar forest, around the lake, the mandarin ducks and water birds live and fly in the wave pool, as soon as you enter the west garden of the palace, the original trees are luxuriant, the lush beauty is swept away in an instant; At this moment, except for the outermost ring of trees, the topography inside has changed greatly:

Two straight erect earthen beam rockeries, from south to north, run longitudinally, a small stream with surging water, sandwiched in the middle of the mound, meandering; And the two earth beams, the more north they get closer to each other, the flat ground, is also less and less, at the narrowest intersection, the two stone pavilions are separated, across the stream and water, showing the trend of horns.

The cold winter has not passed, in the west garden of the palace, although there is no phoenix pavilion dragon tower, but the mountains and rivers depend on each other, the beauty is quiet and quiet, all kinds of wild animals and birds and beasts run in the meantime, it is really like a fairyland on earth; If you are a famous general who has been polished on the battlefield for more than ten years, you can see the mystery without anyone else explaining it at all.

That's right.

The entire West Garden seems to have been transformed into a map of the situation of mountains and rivers that has been reduced by many times, or in other words, a small-scale topographic map of the north. Needless to say, such a layout and such an arrangement must have come from the handwriting of the king of Jingbei, who was meritorious and powerful in the world.

In the distance, a Jingbei guard, dressed in black armor and holding a golden spear, strode forward, passed through the "Bird Mouse Valley" that was squeezed out by two earthen beams, turned the "Songting Pass", which represented the strategic place south of Yanjing, and went straight north along the gurgling stream that symbolized the "Hutuo River".

The clouds gradually dispersed, and the morning sun was shining. Water cones were hung under the corridors, and countless crystal clear frost edges hung down under the palace walls, slowly melting in the rising sunlight; At this time, in the middle of the spacious shooting range, the drums were rumbling, the flags were fluttering, and with the sound of the strong wind, the hunting rolls over, and the "Xiao" character king flag at the top of the platform was clustered.

The day is like a bright day, in the center of the shooting range, there is a figure of Shengxue in white clothes, holding an iron tire bow, standing tall and jade, standing still, as if the rock that has been dried for thousands of years, standing on the top of the peak, after wind, frost, rain and snow, it is still as strong and strong as ever.

This is a tall and handsome, beautiful man in white, with a crown of white jade hair tied on his head, a crown belt tied under his chin, and a figure of eight knot lightly tied.

On the face of the king of Jingbei, there was no half smile, and his eyes were like arrows, as if he was going to shoot straight into everyone's hearts, with a touch of undisguised fierceness and domineering; The majesty of the commander is an innate bearing, which has nothing to do with age or experience. Especially at this moment, when he is not smiling and standing still like a pine, his aura is unprecedentedly powerful.

Half of Xiao Changling's cheeks were all hidden in the depths of a pair of eyes that shone with a sharp light, and the two long sword-like eyebrows on his forehead flew obliquely into a few strands of black hair on his sideburns, adding an awe-inspiring murderous aura; The momentum of not being angry and arrogant, his long flowing hair, as well as his strange ink-colored eyes, his handsome and upright golden body, with a stunning face, is chic, like a Zhilan jade tree, light and wind, indescribable nobility and coldness......

Nowadays, Xiao Changling, who is standing in the Xiyuan shooting range and shooting, opens the iron tire bow again and again, and shoots the arrow into the bull's-eye again and again. I saw that above the red bull's-eye, three arrows were surrounded, lined up in turn, showing an extremely beautiful shape of the word "Pin".

On the shooting range, Xiao Changling held his bow and practiced shooting, and the Jingbei soldiers stayed guard a hundred steps away, so there were only three people around him, a Pingbei general Huan Huan, a Bingzhou assassin Shi Lu Tao, and one other, not Jingbei Qu, but an envoy sent by Feng Hong, the assassin of Northern Yuyingzhou, to ask for help.

In the middle of the field, Huan Jian is a general, Lu Tao is a thorn history, at this moment, I watched Xiao Changling standing there, constantly opening his bow and firing arrows, all silent, just quietly staring at the back of the white-clothed man, looking at the majestic posture of the king of Jingbei bending his bow and arrows, without saying a word.

Finally, it was the envoy who spoke first, breaking the stagnant silence above the range.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the Chongqing army is attacking Xuansu, it is very urgent, Feng Tingshi begs His Royal Highness to send troops quickly to relieve the danger of Yingzhou, otherwise it will ......"

Without waiting for the envoy to finish speaking, he only heard a sound of "swoop", Xiao Changling raised his bow and stretched the string, and released an arrow again, and the feather arrow shot out, and the arrow arc cut through the gust of cold wind, hitting the red heart of the arrow target.

He was dressed in white, his eyes were like torches, his waist was bearing a shadow sword, and his boots were not stained with dust, as if he was wandering in the depths of the Milky Way; Suddenly, Xiao Changling raised his eyes slightly, hooked his lips extremely coldly, and revealed a shallow smile of unknown meaning, which seemed to have the intention of looking down on the world.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Chongqing army?!"

"There are Chongqing troops attacking the city at all four gates, no less than 70,000 soldiers and horses, Gongsun Guiyan personally went to the city, Lu Yi and Zhao Kui are the forwards, according to the detective, Wu Xi's army will arrive immediately, I hope the king will quickly send troops to rescue, a little later, I am afraid that the Chongqing army will break the city." The envoy's expression and tone were extremely anxious.

Everyone saw that Xiao Changling was alone, standing upright on the spot, the white-clothed hunting rolls, the iron bow was slowly lowered, and the pair of dark eyes of the king of Jingbei seemed to have pierced out a Zhongtian sword, and the sword light crossed the sun and the moon.

"Well, Lone knows, come here, take the messenger to the pavilion to rest." Xiao Changling looked calm and said coldly.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, this ......" The envoy was full of surprise and a little incredulous.

Xiao Changling sneered.

"The matter...... Alone has a decision, your envoy came from afar, all the way to the road, or go to the museum to rest first. ”

As soon as these words came out, the envoy suddenly felt five thunders, felt that he had been humiliated like never before, and even felt a little embarrassed; Obviously, the king of Jingbei has publicly issued an expulsion order.

As a result, the envoy's face changed drastically, and his tone gradually became tougher.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, don't you want to see death and not save it?! My lord is sincere, and now that he is in danger, His Highness has stood by and watched, is this how you treat your friends? ”

"Presumptuous!" Huan Huan's eyes were blazing, and he pressed his sword to look at the envoy.

At this moment, I saw Xiao Changling looking up to the sky and laughing, full of pride in his laughter.

Suddenly, Xiao Changling, the king of Qin dressed in white, turned around, and a pair of eagle eyes were as cold as knives, slashing through two extremely cold knife rays, and coldly nailed them to the envoy's thin cheeks; He proudly raised his longbow, unhurriedly drew his bow and set up his arrows, and pulled the bowstring, the tips of which glowed with green light, and locked tightly on the envoy's body.

Seeing this, the envoy's whole body trembled, and cold sweat was already flowing down his spine.

The King of Jingbei smiled charmingly.

"First of all, I would like to remind Your Excellency that the land you are standing on now is the royal city of my Jingbei. If you want to ask for help, it is better to keep your attitude in a better way, and to talk less; If you want to quarrel, let's change places! The lonely iron rider is not a vegetarian. If you have the guts, you can try it. ”

Xiao Changling's gaze became more and more condensed, and the envoy subconsciously took two steps back, but was blocked by a generation of heroes, which shocked his heart.

"Don't move! The bow and arrow in my hand don't have eyes! ”

At this moment, Xiao Changling smiled coldly, and before the laughter stopped, his fingers were already lightning fast, and he easily opened the originally tight bowstring.

After the strings sounded, a sharp arrow whistled clearly into the ear drum of the envoy; The feather arrow flew out of the air, slashing against his ears and temples, cutting a blood groove on the back of his neck, and the blood flowed hot down his neck into the collar, startling the envoy into a cold sweat.

There was another "bell", and the sound was like a golden bell. The arrow swept straight past the Beiyu envoy and nailed to the trunk of a tree five hundred paces away, and the moment the arrow was embedded in the bark, the tail of the arrow still trembled.

For a moment, the envoy's eyes were gloomy, his eyes were blank, and his face was like ashes.

"Take the messenger down!"

Xiao Changling in the eyes of the envoy had a cold expression, a majestic face, and a cold and solemn look in his eyes, as if he was dripping with blood all over the ground, very arrogant and ruthless, and extremely terrifying, which made people unbearable to look at directly.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Qin looked gloomy, Lu Tao understood in his heart, so he made a "please" gesture to the envoy.

"The king still has military affairs, if your envoy has any requests, please go to the Assassin's Mansion tomorrow to negotiate with this town."

After the envoy left, Xiao Changling threw away the iron bow and sneered contemptuously at the end of his nose.

"Hmph, I don't know how to lift things, and I have too much to worry about."

On the shooting range, the solemnity is still the same.

……

"I know what you think, what I think...... But you may not understand. ”

The red sun is scorching, and the bright sun is sprinkled on the vast land. The blade of the spear and halberd reflects the cold light of the forest under the reflection of the sun; The bright and neat armor shows the grand military appearance of the Jingbei Wang Division.

To the north of the palace is Xiao Changling's "Heavenly Pillar General's Camp".

The harrier eagle rises in the forest and soars into the sky.

At the moment, the wind is clear and clear, and the military music in the camp is played, and the song "King Qin's Entry into the Array" is one after another, agitated and sonorous; Under a flower tree, Xiao Changling's face sank like water, sitting upright in front of the wine table, wiping his "Chengying" sword, gently brushing off the rust dust on the blade, and on the table was a plate of green plums, a wine vessel, and a pot of freshly brewed plum wine.

On the side of the king of Jingbei, Huan Yu's crown and sword stood solemnly with his body tensed.

For a long time, Xiao Changling smiled and slowly raised the shadow, the sunlight poured into the sword body, and it was clear and snowy for a while, and the sword light flickered.

"The breeze is like a promise, the sun is shining, it is a good weather to kill!"

After saying that, Xiao Changling quietly put down his sword and asked calmly.

"Don't you think that...... Lone should send troops to rescue Feng Hong?! ”

Huan Yu nodded.

"Yes, King."

"Oh, tell me your insights." Xiao Changling picked up the wine jug and took a sip of spicy plum wine.

"King, Feng Hong is afraid of the strength of the Yu army, so he came to ask for help. Moreover, Feng Hong's move also has the intention of attracting self-respect, and he wants to use our Jingbei military strength to contain the soldiers and horses of Northern Chongqing; According to the last general's opinion, Liaodong is infighting, and it will die this day, in this case, why not take the sheep by the hand, if you send a general today, raise tens of thousands of troops, go north to Yanjing, and join forces with Feng to retreat the Chongqing soldiers, the thieves retreat, and Yingzhou is also harmful, at that time, the king can take advantage of his lack of hardship, surprise troops to attack him, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort? ! ”

However, when he heard the words "self-respect", Xiao Changling frowned slightly, and the fierce gaze of a generation of heroes was like a rain of arrows in the sky, and thousands of arrows fell together, covering Huan Huan's face in all directions, but soon returned to calm and turned into a self-deprecating smile, and there was something in the smile.

"Self-respect?! Is it a cole? ”

Huan Jian knew that what he had just said was really a bit Meng Lang, so he hurriedly defended himself.

"Back to the king, what the last general said...... It was Feng Hong's mind. ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Changling put down the wine jug, put his hands flat on the desk, and did not change color, but let out a wild and open-minded laugh, stretched out his hand and pointed at Huan Yan, and scolded with a chic smile.

"Huan Zhongping, you are a lonely general of Pingbei, every word and deed, you need to have the demeanor of a general."

"Yes, ......, follow the king's teachings." Huan said in a deep voice.

Looking at the faint morning light on the horizon, Xiao Changling got up proudly and slowly left his seat.

"Zhongping, what you said, how can you not know it."

"That'...... What does the king think? ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Changling's face was unprecedentedly calm, and his facial expression did not make waves, only as terrifying as a hellish Shura; Such calmness, such composure, is very much like the dormancy before a tiger hunts its prey, and more like the silence before the swordsman shows his sword, except for silence, there is nothing different.

A look of extreme disdain appeared on Xiao Changling's face.

"Hmph, Feng Hong?! What a thing is he! A dog with a broken spine. Zhong Ping, in fact, you don't say that Gu understands that his surname Feng is really surrendering, he saw that the Great Zhou was getting stronger and stronger, and the Gongsun clan was gradually declining, so he was in such a hurry to change the court. He can betray his master today, and you can guarantee that he will ...... Won't he betray Lone! ”

"That being said, but ,...... King, in the current situation, Beiyu sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress, and with Feng Hong's little strength, he would definitely not be able to hold Yingzhou; If we continue to stand still, we are afraid that the war will gradually deteriorate; King, let's fight, you can't eat the whole sheep, you can nibble on a few leg of lamb! If it's late, it's all someone else's. Huan Jian showed a worried look on his face.

Xiao Changling smiled coldly.

"Feng Hong's thoughts, don't you know when you are lonely?! He claimed to be a famous general in Liaodong, relying on his 100,000 troops and the land of the three counties, so he tried in vain to bargain with Lone. In fact, Gu has long seen that his real purpose is to sit on an equal footing with Gu and rule the territory, rather than becoming Gu's domain. The abacus is good, but he miscalculated, these three states in the north are the world of my Jingbei Army, how can he be allowed to be presumptuous! ”

Hearing this, Huan Yu seemed to suddenly realize, and his expression gradually relaxed, and said, "It seems that ......, the king is already confident." ”

Xiao Changling put his hands behind his back, and his smile became more and more tranquil; The north wind hunting in the distance swept up the white clothes of the young feudal lord Shengxue, and his black hair fluttered in the wind, dancing with an admirable heroic spirit.

"Gu Pingsheng hates being used by others the most, and he hates being used as a gun by others the most, but no one believes it, okay! Since he, Feng Hong, wants to wait for the price and sell, then let him take a good look at who is the master of the three northern states...... Isn't it 100,000 horses?! I joined the army alone and killed countless people, and there were many people who died in my hands, so I don't care how many more lives there are under this sword! ”

This is the confidence of a generation of heroes, and the pride of the world.

- Backed by an army of 400,000.

——There are three states to rely on.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Changling turned around proudly, facing Huan Huan, and a chill suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Zhongping, you are alone in leading 30,000 iron horsemen, concealing eastward, secretly infiltrating Yingzhou, lying in the Moth Mountain with elites, and then ordering an army to seize Montenegro, cut off the enemy's way back, and then ...... Wait for the opportunity. ”

"Yes!" Huan clenched his fists.

"Remember." Xiao Changling waved his hand, "Don't take the official road, try to take the mountain road as much as possible, and avoid startling the grass and snakes; The various jurisdictions and departments must not leave the traitors with a chance to take advantage of them. ”

"The last general commands."

"And. Scatter all your rangers and keep an eye on me. Xiao Changling finally added, and his tone was categorical.

"Yes!"

In the wind, a white dress stands against the wind.

"If necessary, the Lone Society will personally lead an army to help you."

……

Countless elegant white doves, cooing, flew away from the sky above Jinyang, in the cloudless clear sky, swept several times in a row, and then flew towards the vast Liaodong Plain, flapping their wings, and gradually lost their traces.

This is a kind of wanton swaying and transmission from the will of the king.

——Jingbei Iron Cavalry, Thousands of Miles to Liaodong!
