If you want to say who this Hu Ji is, the name may not be very loud, but when it comes to the "Central Plains Tiger" and "Northwest Lion", everyone in the world today knows it.

He was the sixth son of the emperor of the dynasty - the sixth prince. The eldest prince died early, and there were four brothers in front of him who were fighting for power, and he became the one who was not concerned by the emperor because of his indifferent temperament.

In addition, Hu Ji has been obsessed with martial arts and the art of war since he was a child, and he does not like power, and when he was fourteen years old, the border was in turmoil, and at his own request, the emperor directly sent him to the frontier as a general. In this way, the relationship between the six princes, who lingered in the Western Regions and the North all the year round, became even more estranged from the court.

However, Hu Ji did not have any complaints, he already scoffed at those who fought for power and intrigued. With a halberd in his right hand and a sword in his left hand, he rode a horse across the Beacon Volcano River, this is what he wanted.

Years of war exploits, the title of the Northwest Lion makes the enemy fearful, where there is Hu Ji, bandits and enemy soldiers are always surprisingly well-behaved.

The emperor was very satisfied, and gave his son a bunch of plaques that were not practical, and sealed a "King Zhang", which was not too big and not small, with obvious meaning, and wanted him to stay on the border for the rest of his life to serve the country.

Of course, some people have to ask, why did the emperor of the current dynasty have the surname "Hu" even though his surname was Li? This starts with a story more than 10 years ago.

In that year, the Western Regions Iron Cavalry attacked, 100,000 soldiers and horses were menacing and unstoppable, and the Yongchang defenders were outnumbered, and the Iron Cavalry entered the pass, connecting fifteen cities. At that time, the border generals were ordered to defend for several months, but failed to counterattack, and hundreds of officials in the court wrote letters to seek peace.

On the occasion of this crisis, Li Ji led 20,000 lightly armored dead soldiers to fight to the death in the Fuling River, with no food and grass, no backup, and fought to the death for 15 days. At the end of the battle, the corpses were strewn all over the field, and the blood flowed all over the field, and only 12 of the 20,000-strong army remained. Li Ji was hit by more than ten arrows, dozens of wounds, and actually captured alive the commander of the enemy army, the son of the Khan of the Western Regions. The Western Regions Iron Cavalry was defeated, Li Ji's division returned to the dynasty, and the Beijing division set up a banquet to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers.

It was supposed to be a perfect ending. But no one thought that this change would happen to the emperor.

Half a year after the war, the Khan of the Western Regions sent envoys to pay tribute to the imperial court, bringing 20 carts of rare treasures and a document for land reparation.

But what made the emperor most excited was a woman who sat at the head of the convoy. Exotic, graceful, charming, and charming.

Khan's request was simple, in exchange for his son, who had been placed under house arrest.

In the court, the officials had different opinions, but the emperor looked at the beauty with a very resolute attitude.

This matter reached Li Ji's ears, and despite his serious injury, he quickly entered the palace to advise his father.

He knew in his heart that the Khan prince was only in the year of dancing when he was captured, and he had already done so when he led his troops to fight. Agreeing at this time is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles in the future.

No one knows what Li Ji said to the emperor in the court that day, only that the emperor was very angry, and in a fit of rage, he ordered the left and right guards to beat Li Ji to the 20th board, and also demoted him to "Hu".

No one in the court dared to speak for this disgraced prince who angered the holy face. Since then, Hu Ji has never returned to the capital. But his deeds were made into nursery rhymes and stories by the people, and circulated in the streets and alleys.

At this time, the people of Heifeng Village were already trembling with fright, and the owner of the village looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he was thinking about how to surrender in order to suffer less.

Xiao Yan and Qi Zehui looked at this man, their dull eyes full of admiration.

"Phew, wearing a dragon robe, he said that he was the crown prince? The real King Zhang had already fought thousands of miles away, and you were scared when you were Lao Tzu?" the fat man before looked up to the sky and laughed, and said viciously.

"My mother, is this guy missing a string in his brain?" Qi Zehui looked at the black man and sighed.

"You can try it. Hu Ji replied indifferently.

"Second brother, don't ...... it" "Big brother, don't be afraid! It doesn't matter if he's really fake, Lao Tzu waved his mace, and the gods have to lie down!

As the door slowly pushed open, the man with a meaty face put on half of his shoulder armor and walked forward with a mace.

Hu Ji still stood upright, and his posture had not changed.

Everyone stared at the two of them tightly, and they didn't dare to come out.

The second master snorted, the muscles and muscles of his arms suddenly stood out, and the iron rod of more than 100 catties was picked up by him like a baby, spinning in the air, he sped up his pace and rushed straight towards Hu Ji.

"Eat grandpa's stick!"

Boom! The tremendous force shook the earth three times, and between the dust, there was the sound of gold and stone clanging.

Hu Ji just turned sideways slightly, and dodged this move. The fat man bent over with a mace in his hand, and his whole body was unguardedly exposed to Hu Ji's side, looking very embarrassed.

"Drink!" The second master was annoyed and angry, picked up the iron rod again, twisted his waist, and aimed at Hu Ji's leg and swept over.

"Hmph. There was a cold snort in the air.

I saw that Hu Ji held the halberd in his hand and borrowed his strength, and jumped three feet high, and the dragon halberd flipped with the body of the sky, reflecting the cold silver light-

Brush!

Before everyone could see it clearly, the man's head had already been picked up, and with a stream of plasma flying like red silk, it landed steadily at the feet of the owner of the village on the watchtower.

Turning over and landing steadily, Hu Ji set his eyes on the people in the Black Wind Village on the sentry tower.

A cold, emotionless gaze.

"Don't! We surrender!"

"It's late. Hu Ji slowly raised his right hand, "All the soldiers of the army, listen to my orders!"

Then he waved down without hesitation: "Follow me, rush in!"

The battle drummed up, and Hu Ji took the lead, leading a group of lightly armored knights to rush to the cottage like a wind.

"Quick, get to the gate, don't let them in!" the owner of the village was already frightened at this time, and screamed hysterically.

But it's too late. The battle-hardened armor soldiers were not a problem in attacking the city, and in the face of the simple wooden stake gate of this cottage, they actually smashed it open with their flesh and blood alone!

"Capture the thief alive, and leave the rest behind!" "Yes!"

With the halberd in his hand, Hu Ji showed no mercy in the face of this group of bandits, and his group rushed into the enemy formation and slaughtered them like wheat harvesting.

"It's really a dog, so powerful!" Qi Zehui's eyes straightened.

"Look, run for your life!" Xiao Yan was so frightened that he picked up Qi Zehui and turned around and fled into the village.

Under the sentry tower, several mountain bandits knelt in place with their village master, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Uncle, you are good, we have arrested the person you want, please treat a few of our miscellaneous pieces as a fart, let it go!"

Hu Ji led two armor soldiers over covered in blood, and stabbed to death a mountain bandit lying on the ground and pretending to be dead on the way. He looked at the two crazy kowtowing minions and smiled contemptuously: "Traitor for glory, is this how you behave in the world?"

The two looked at each other and froze.

"If you protect him and fight to the death, maybe I will really let you go......" The halberd shook, and blood beads spilled in a row:

"It's a pity that you chose the wrong one. Chopped!"

Without hesitation, the two armor soldiers strode forward, and with a flash of their swords, the heads of the two mountain bandits fell to the ground.

"Now......" Hu Ji pulled out his sword and pressed it against the neck of the owner of the village: "Where is that picture? That thing is not something that people like you should hope for." ”

The owner of the village swallowed his saliva, thinking that his Black Wind Village was finished today, gritted his teeth and said, "You... You're looking for the wrong person, what's the picture? I don't know ......."

"Still quibbling?" Hu Ji snorted coldly, unceremoniously raised his sword and fell, the thief screamed miserably, and looked down to see that half of his palm had been cut off.

"Really... There really isn't! there really isn't!" the owner of the village convulsed in pain, but still refused to let go. Now that the cottage has collapsed and his family foundation is gone, he is all counting on the things on that map to make a comeback.

"I appreciate your courage," Hu Ji said, "then I'll be patient with you." Come on, bring the head!"

The assassin outside the door immediately said something to the officers and soldiers behind him, and before the owner of the village could react, he saw an officer and soldier walking over with a bloody fresh head.

If Xiao Yan and Qi Zehui were still here, they would be surprised. Because that was the head of the driver Li Bo who betrayed Chen Gong and Yang Ming.

"Two days ago, this person came to the Nanning Prefecture Mansion and reported that the 'thing' had been intercepted by a group of bandits, and he was the only one who escaped. He said that he remembered the way to the cottage and wanted to take credit for it. It just so happened that the king was resting in the mansion of Lord Assassin, and when he heard the news, he immediately ordered hundreds of soldiers and horses,"

"When he said the route up the mountain, the king immediately beheaded him - he dared to ask for a reward for delaying the military plane, he really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall!"

Hu Ji picked up the blood-drenched human head, with a look of contempt in his eyes:

"So, do you still have to quibble before the king?"

The owner of the village looked at the human head, and was surprised and angry for a while, and felt funny, this guy wanted to make money on both sides, but he didn't know that in the end he met King Zhang, the plague god, and put his life into it.

It seems that it is indeed impossible to hide it. The owner closed his eyes, sighed, and then closed his mouth.

Hu Ji saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly put his hand against the throat of the owner of the village, but it was too late, and a wisp of blood slipped from the corner of the owner's closed mouth-

He had bitten his tongue and killed himself.

Hu Ji took a deep look at the corpse, and ordered in a deep voice: "Search! Thoroughly investigate this cottage! Even if you turn it upside down, you have to find out the picture for me!" Then, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Give the order to go down, pick a place for this person's body, and bury it." ”
