Flourishing times learn literature, troubled times practice martial arts, this is true in any era.

In that chaotic environment, even if you have millions of poems and books in your belly, you can't stop the reckless butcher's knife swing, floating corpses.

After Yang Tianxing joined the army from Rong, he soon began to shine.

At that time, the biggest enemy in the north of Zhao was Hu Nu, those nomadic horse tribes were both brave and cruel, often came to plunder the population and wealth, and slaughtered villages and towns with knives at every turn.

The imperial capital has also sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but the speed at which they come and go is too fast, and by the time the reinforcements arrive at the border, they will already be covered with corpses.

Even if there were already 50,000 elite iron horsemen in the north at that time, there was still no way to put an end to Hu Nu's nuisance.

It is very difficult for ordinary sergeants to join the Jingxiao Iron Cavalry, which is equivalent to the iron-clad army of the Yan State in terms of the Zhao State, the sharp swordsmen of the Qin State and the Wei Wushu of the Wei State. It is the real elite division of the entire Zhao Kingdom.

Yang Tianxing enlisted in an ordinary military town in the north, and the soldiers sent to that place were often called dead soldiers.

The so-called dead pawn is the term of the person who is about to die.

Why do you say that, according to the military report of the imperial capital, the military town is attacked by Hu Nu almost every ten years, and to put it mildly, Hu Nu used that military town as a training ground for their warriors.

In every great battle, many soldiers were killed. And there is not one in ten sergeants who can survive an average of three months in the military town, so the name of this dead soldier comes from this.

Most of the people who came to this military town were some who made big mistakes in other military ranks and were forcibly degraded here. No one came here willingly to join the army.

It would be more appropriate to say that it was to join the army, not that it would be more appropriate to say that it was sent to death.

But Yang Tianxing picked and chose and entered the military town.

As for what the military town was called at that time, I'm afraid no one still remembers, after all, its name is too domineering now, and it was inscribed by the previous generation of King Zhao 'Huzhen Pass'.

As for how Yang Tianxing made the place of death become the current Huzhen Pass, there are rumors in the market that there are different opinions.

Some people say that Yang Tianxing was well versed in the art of war and strategy, and set up a Qimen army formation outside Huzhen Pass, so that Hu Nu's several attacks after that were all back and forth.

Some people also say that Yang Tianxing is a natural fighter, and as soon as he enters the battlefield, he becomes a red-eyed, invulnerable monster, and takes Huzhenguan and a group of soldiers to kill Hu Nu.

Some people even say that Yang Tianxing is not a human being at all, he is the reincarnation of the god of soldiers, and he understands the Taoist spell of sprinkling beans into soldiers.

In short, the later it is, the more divine the statement about Yang Tianxing becomes, and even the Zhao Jun who was far away in Handan City heard about this divine soldier and blessed general that the people had passed on by word of mouth.

It was also since then, on the top of Zhao Ting's hall, that Yang Tianxing officially had a seat.

After all, there were not many people who paid attention to Huzhen Pass back then, and no one thought that such a dead Jedi would become a place of dragon prosperity for a generation of national masters.

It took Yang Tianxing three years to build Huzhenguan into the largest military town in the north of Zhao State, and the world praised it as a 'barrier to Hu'.

It means that as long as Yang Tianxing and this tiger town are locked up, no Hu person will want to make trouble.

Xiang Ming earnestly recounted the life of the king with the surname of the country, and also specifically cited some of his great achievements and wonderful battles in the past.

Not to mention, Xiang Ming really has a bit of a storyteller's feeling when he tells the story, his words are gorgeous, and the scenes are described vividly, and Meng Juntong feels like he is there.

It's just that this redundant article is a little longer, and the sky is about to dawn in a blink of an eye, but he still hasn't talked about the key point.

"Xiang Ming, I think you're playing tricks on me. Although Meng Juntong listened to the story fascinated, she was not brought in, she knew what she was asking Xiang Ming.

Zhao Tianxing, or Yang Tianxing's past is of course important, but what she really wants to know is the matter between this king of the country and Lan Ning, the lord of Baishui City.

Xiang Ming was slightly embarrassed, and coughed lightly: "Isn't this just about to say, this Lan Ning ......"

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the city, and then the fire outside the window lit up, illuminating most of the whitewater city.

The streets were also suddenly noisy, and many people were shouting and making noise.

"Walk the water, walk the water!"

"Wuyang Palace, Wuyang Palace fire, everyone go and put out the fire. ”

The corners of Xiang Ming's eyes were slightly raised, he seemed to have known early in the morning that this would happen tonight, so there was no surprise when he heard the movement outside.

Meng Juntong had already run to the window to watch at this time, and Xiang Ming got up and came to Meng Juntong's side.

"It seems that the situation is much more intense than we thought. Xiang Ming gently tapped the windowsill with his index finger, making a muffled sound.

Meng Juntong turned his head to look at Xiang Ming: "You put the fire?"

Xiang Ming shrugged: "It's not to blame us, you have to ask Lan Ning about this." ”

Yan Fengyi, Xing Bai, and Wei Ling had already run outside the Yunsong Inn.

Meng Juntong jumped down directly from the second floor as soon as he pressed the windowsill, and jumped to Yan Fengyi and the others: "Uncle Yan, do you know what this fire is all about?"

In this city, for Lanning, except for Xiang Ming, who had already laid out, it was Yan Fengyi and his party who sent their relatives.

Yan Fengyi shook his head: "Just now our spies came to report, since the ugly time, Lan Ning's roar has been heard in Wuyang Palace, and it has not been interrupted until just now." ”

Wei Ling hurriedly opened his mouth and added: "The attendants in Wuyang Palace, including those who are attached to Lan Ning's hands, have also escaped from Wuyang Palace. It is said that Lan Ning suddenly went berserk and had killed several martial arts masters in Wuyang Palace. ”

Lan Ning went crazy, and Meng Juntong looked up at the second floor, in front of Xiang Ming's window.

The young man was still standing in Xun'er, looking in the direction of Wuyang Palace from afar.

After three years of poisoning, there was no way to directly poison the Great Grandmaster, and its effect was to make him crazy.

Meng Juntong clenched his fists, and without saying a word, ran directly in the direction of Wuyang Palace.

"Juntong, where are you going?" Wei Ling shouted.

Meng Juntong didn't seem to hear it, ran wildly, and disappeared into the street in the blink of an eye.

Two dark shadows appeared silently behind Xiang Ming: "Young Master, everything is ready." ”

Xiang Ming stopped his fingers that kept tapping on the window railing: "Let's act, remember to protect Meng Juntong." ”

The two of them clasped their fists and slowly retreated.

Before dawn is the darkest hour of the night, and tonight it is not the light of the sun that lights up this dawn, but the blood-stained red flame.
