March 15.

Appropriate: cleaning, bathing, seeking medical treatment, and curing diseases.

Don't: Marriage, trading, opening a business, burial.

It is the day when the "Dingxi Overview" is released once a year.

At the junction of Ding and Heng states, a hidden courtyard.

A carrier pigeon landed on the ridge of the roof.

"Liufei's foot ring is a message from Childe. ”

Several people came out of the house and took the letter from the pigeon.

"The five towns on the border of Dingzhou have been reduced to war zones. The steppe wolf rode fiercely, and He Youjian, the governor of Dingzhou, led the army to resist but was still defeated. The wolf rider rushed into the town of Jiying and slaughtered him, but was stopped by two townspeople. At present, these two hidden masters are cultivating in the official post of Dingzhou, ready to go to the border at any time to fight for the town to defend the border. In addition, due to the continuous deterioration of the situation on the border of Dingxi, most of the masters of the rivers and lakes have also secretly arrived in Dingzhou. One of them practiced swords in the snow under the moon, and he was a sword with eight sides, and he was undoubtedly a strong man in the Earth Sword Sect. He also took the opportunity of the release of my "Dingxi Overview" to announce to the swordsmen of the world: "As the so-called one person and one sword are not heroes, in the battlefield of this border grassland, see who is the great swordsman who dominates the world, and who can pick up the strongest name of the sword sect in this place!"

"Dingxi Overview"

The publication with the largest circulation in the territory of the King of Dingxi.

Every year on March 15th, there will be a pile of burdens in major restaurants, inns and even street vendors.

This overview is not priced, it all depends on the eyes of the watchman.

If you look good, reward a few more children, and if you don't look good, no one will say anything about you.

Its history is not long, only a dozen years.

The overview is divided into two parts. The first half talks about things, summarizing the major events, important events, and special events in the five states under the king of Dingxi in the past year. The second half talks about people, and details what the big names who have come under the rule of King Dingxi this year have made some fame.

So on this day, almost everyone goes out early. Groups of three or five met to buy and see the freshly baked "Dingxi Overview".

It's just that this year's overview is not as punctual as in previous years, and the team of the pomp and pomp dragon has been waiting until the end of the day.

This year's overview is only a thin page and a half.

One page talks about things, and half a page talks about people.

Inside the palace of Dingxi Wangfu.

Huo Wang's hand also held a copy of "Dingxi Overview".

From the first day of the publication, he was very concerned.

After all, he is talking about things and people in his territory, and he also wants to see if there is any discrepancy between what is written in the reading and his own cognition. Although Huo Wang has always laughed at the content, he should just watch it lively. But today's overview made him have to take it seriously.

"Except for Zhao Huihan, the governor of Yuezhou, and his two state prison apprentices, there are no masters with swords in the five state official mansions. As for the people in the rivers and lakes......"

It's not that Huo Wang hasn't investigated the details of "Dingxi Tonglan", but after checking and checking, he only knows that it is a loose organization called Liuguangguan that is responsible for editing and publishing.

The Ryukokan is secretive, and the members usually have their own business, but they only assemble at the end of February and spend a month and a half to revise and print. They have traces of their activities in the five states of Dingxi, and the people in the museum call the owner of the museum Gongzi. Although the land of Dingxi is not as prosperous and rich as the hinterland of the southeast, there are not tens of thousands or less than ten thousand who may be called sons of the sons.

Over time, Huo Wang let himself go.

Yesterday's abnormal movement of the Star Diaphragm Sword still made him sleep, and in today's overview, it was said that there was a master of swordsmanship who made an appointment with the swordsman of the world, which made Huo Wang's heart itch at the same time. Don't look at this high-ranking king of Dingxi, who is not interested in the red and green things, but the sword and swordsmanship are the peerless beauty in his eyes.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

With the circulation of the swordsman's declaration in the "Dingxi Overview", the rivers and lakes of Dingxi suddenly became turbulent.

In particular, some young people who are eager to prove themselves and make a name for themselves and do not know how to measure them are rushing to Dingzhou with a starry night. Even some kendo masters who have long been out of the world have come out of the mountains. I want to see who has such a big breath and wants to win the honor of the Sword Sect of the world in one fell swoop.

"Childe, is this really good?"

"It's a good time to live and work, but it's not the time I need. Since ancient times, heroes have been born in troubled times, even though I am not quite a hero, but the more chaotic I am, the more stable I am. Pulling a big lie to this Dingzhou, although it will hurt the splendid beauty of this great river and mountain, it can change my peace for 20 years. Worth. ”

"Childe still has to endure for twenty years?"

"If this wolf rider is not extinguished for a day, Dingzhou will survive for a day. If the wolf is wiped out, the king of Dingxi will naturally have nothing to seal and reward for Dingzhou. How can such a thing that benefits the world be done? I hope that the wolf king Mingyao will fight for some energy, and it will be good to continue like this. Besides, I originally thought that if I controlled the soldiers of Dingzhou Mansion, I would be able to influence the situation at the border pass, and that was the time for me to go out of the mountain. Now it seems to be a big mistake...... Huo Wang is not a martial artist. On the contrary, his mind is finer than the embroidery needle. ”

Jiying Town, Xiangteng Restaurant.

Liu Ruiying walked into the hall and couldn't help but be in a trance in an instant.

The hall was empty, with no people drinking and merry.

The stage was empty, and there was no play in sight.

Xiao Er was also bored lying on the account table, and when he saw Liu Ruiying walking in, he only raised his eyelids slightly, and he didn't have the same courteous appearance as before.

"My lord, the small shop can't entertain you. As soon as the evacuation order was given, the radius of hundreds of miles was already clean. The government ordered the lord's line to be stationed in the town again, and the food and wine stored in the small shop were all bought up by the grain officials of the line. ”

The shopkeeper came out from behind and said.

He didn't blame the shopkeeper for his negligence at all, even if the person who came was the Zhongdu Investigation.

"Then why are you still here?"

The shopkeeper smiled and did not answer.

Liu Ruiying realized that she had asked a very stupid question.

The name of Xiang Teng Restaurant is like thunder even in the Zhongdu Investigation Division, and all the causes of the Investigation Division must be reported to the law level by level if there is any connection with Xiang Teng Restaurant, and then the highest official of the province will be personally tried.

Although Liu Ruiying is a special investigator in the northwest, his rank is far from enough, and the shopkeeper naturally does not need to explain.

"The situation in Dingxi has changed abruptly, and the investigation makes the adults act carefully. ”

Liu Ruiying got up and wanted to leave, but the shopkeeper said coldly.

Jiying Town, the Chinese army.

After the identity of the patrol sergeant at the gate was revealed, He Youjian and two government officials came to the gate of Xingyuan in person to welcome Liu Ruiying in.

Everyone was polite and sat down.

Liu Ruiying asked about the current battle situation, and He Youjian knew everything about it, and said everything. Liu Ruiying was a little surprised at first, he was ready to be troubled, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But if you think about it carefully, what He Youjian said does not have any key information. Regarding some of the more core and confidential things proposed by Liu Ruiying, He Youjian skillfully covered up the past.

"According to Governor He, this time the wolf rider has indeed had such a big impact?"

"yes. The investigation envoy has been in the central capital for a long time, and he should not know much about the border situation. This steppe wolf rider does not treat us as human beings at all, only as a ration for the wild wolf they sit down, so it is extremely cruel. Since the envoy had already come to Jiying Town before, he must have seen the stone handle at the mouth of the Xiangteng Restaurant. Alas, that time we committed a border attack because we were careless and underestimated the enemy, which caused hundreds of people to be in different places, and the five towns on this border were full of blood. Tang Zhoutong is also a good official who loves the people like a son, so he immediately issued an evacuation order as soon as there was a stir this time. However, the people have evacuated, but the main army of the left and right Lu is gathered outside the border in front of me, with a total of millions of soldiers and horses, and I can't resist the more than 100,000 people in this area no matter what!"

He Youjian clenched the hammer case and said with great sadness and indignation.

"But as long as there are still people to fight in Dingzhou, I will not give an inch in this business. It's as firmly rooted here as a nail, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, it can't let the wolf ride break through this border five towns one step!"

Liu Ruiying was moved by He Youjian's impassioned statement, and unconsciously choked up. After a few drinks with the three generals, he returned to the camp to rest, and he wanted to investigate the Tianmu Province of Si Tianmu in the report he saw today.

"Report to the childe. Everything is seamless, airtight. ”

He Youjian confessed.

Dingxi Palace.

Huo Wang did not sit on the throne in the main hall, but in a hidden place under the palace, the palace of the palace.

"Take a closer look at this year's "Dingxi Overview", what is your impression of the Sword Sect described in it?"

Huo Wang stood in a dark corridor, front and back of a prison made of stainless steel, each holding a person.

All of them are masters of the rivers and lakes who have dominated the world in his territory over the years, from human teachers to earth sect consummation, all those who Huo Wang thinks are a threat to him, all of them have been reduced to prisoners.

"Hey, hey. The surname is Huo, why are you scared of this little kid who is a monk halfway?"

One of them said with a sneer.

"Haha, Huo Wang! When you sent people to attack and kill us day and night, it was just to find out our exercises. And you sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for the rabbit, waiting for work. You don't deserve a sword at all!"

Another scolded.

"What is your impression of this swordsman?"

Huo Wang gritted his teeth, tried his best to calm his mind, and asked again.

"I don't recognize it, I don't recognize it! Even if I do, do you think we'll tell you? In the name of the outside world, you have defeated all the masters of Dingxi with your sword, but in fact you are a shameless person who will do everything to sit on the throne!"

"Now someone can finally defeat you with a sword, this is called the reason of heaven, the way of the sword is clear! A person of your heart is destined to not be able to reach the top of the way of the sword!"

Huo Wang smiled lightly, turned around and left the dungeon. What is there to be angry about the complaints of a group of losers?

Back on the ground, Huo Wang jumped up to the roof of the main hall.

He drew out the Star Diaphragm Sword and slashed towards Dingzhou.

In a sparsely populated wasteland hundreds of miles away from the royal city,

The two unlucky pedestrians suddenly felt depressed in the mountains, and the day was dark and gloomy in an instant. There was thunder and anger in his ears, and his eyes seemed to be the condensation of the river and the sea......

If it weren't for Huo Wang's deliberate restraint, this sword would definitely be able to shine in Dingzhou!

"By the way, let's send this knife back to the house. But don't remove the string of jade beads on it. From this day forward, I forsake the sword and use the sword. ”

"Yes, Childe. ”
