Lu Shaoxi and Qin Ruxuan were stunned, they didn't expect Yan Tianbei to take the initiative to mention Yan Shuai's matter, but what does it have to do with the blood-colored skeleton?

"Yan Shuai has indirectly dealt with you, and you must have found a lot of information. Yan Tianbei was not surprised by the surprise of the two, and touched the bottle of wine and handed it to Lu Shaoxi.

Lu Shaoxi took it without thinking about it, opened the cap and touched the wine bottle in Yan Tianbei's hand, and took a sip with his head raised. The liquor was so hot that his throat almost burst into flames, and his face immediately smelled of alcohol, but his eyes remained clear.

Yan Tianbei's eyes flashed with a look of approval and relief, and he continued while drinking: "But you estimate that you won't be able to find out if you find the southwest side, and you will even think that Yan Shuai is me, and I guess my teacher thinks the same way, right?" The corners of Yan Tianbei's mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling, but the expression under the thick beard was a little gloomy.

Qin Ruxuan said: "Yan Shuai is mischievous, but Senior Brother Yan is a manly and true hero who stands up to the sky, how can you be alone?"

Yan Tianbei smiled dumbly, the atmosphere immediately relaxed, he shook his head and smiled: "You girl, you are really a ghost, when you say this, if I think I am Yan Shuai, wouldn't I destroy my image?" He paused and said slowly: "I am indeed not Yan Shuai." ”

Lu and Qin suddenly felt relieved, with these days of getting along, Yan Tianbei's character is very clear to them, dare to do it, he will never deny it if he is Yan Shuai.

However, Yan Tianbei changed his words and continued: "But I know what Yan Shuai has done. Without my acquiescence, his power would not have been able to grow in the southwest. ”

Lu Shaoxi was puzzled: "Senior brother, I don't understand why you would allow Yan Shuai to operate and develop his power on the southwest border?"

Yan Tianbei's gaze fell on the distance, and instead of answering, he asked, "Do you think who has kept the safety of the southwest border of Longxia all these years?"

The border of Longxia has its own military strength to defend, but in many places of poor mountains and bad waters, it has to rely on the Jingwu Alliance indirectly managed by the state to garrison it, because these places are like natural dangers for ordinary people, but they are like covering the ground for those who are strong in martial arts, and they are the best places for enemy countries to spy, infiltrate, and intrude.

The southwest border of Longxia stretches for thousands of miles, the wind and sand are endless, the land is semi-desertified, and the mountains and highlands are dangerous, the water resources are scarce, but it is also the border with Shade, not only the warriors of Shade often invade out of nowhere, but also the rogue and horse bandits are rampant, and the conditions are very difficult.

Therefore, even if the salary is several times that of the rest of the place, the warriors of the alliance branch stationed on this border either try their best to transfer out, or they do not work hard to make a living, which makes the border people of this land miserable, and it was not until ten years ago that Yan Tianbei went to the southwest branch and defeated the elite of Shade's martial alliance, which turned the situation around in one fell swoop and made the southwest gate impregnable.

Lu Shaoxi thought of Yan Tianbei's various exploits, and couldn't help but say solemnly: "Naturally, it's you, senior brother." Without you, how could there be peace in the southwest today?"

Yan Tianbei laughed: "Little junior brother, you think too highly of me." When it comes to the credit for keeping thousands of miles of the southwestern border, my brothers and I can take at most half of it. ”

Qin Ru's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he asked, "It's not Senior Brother Yan, is it Yan Shuai?"

Yan Tianbei nodded: "It can be said that without Yan Shuai, the southwest border would have been eroded long ago." ”

Lu Shaoxi and Qin Ruxuan glanced at each other, both in disbelief, but since Yan Tianbei said so, they didn't believe it.

Yan Tianbei looked out the window at the red sunlight that was pouring down at dusk, slowly took a sip of wine, and continued: "When I first arrived in the southwest, there were nearly 11,000 people in the border branch, and now there are only 2,537 people left, including the disabled, the elderly, the weak, women and children, and miscellaneous servants, and there are no more than 1,500 people who can really fight the enemy, and none of them belong to the 'Flying Dragon'. And the large and small intrusions of Shad, there are never less than 2,000 people who are strong in martial arts and can easily cross mountains and mountains at one time. ”

The magnitude of the attrition is truly staggering. Lu Shaoxi couldn't help asking, "Senior brother, why is the attrition so serious? There is no additional personnel at the headquarters?"

"Supplement?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Tianbei's mouth: "Since the supply was cut off seven years ago, all the funds and food of the Southwest Border Branch over the years have been solved by ourselves." ”

"Senior brother, you are contributing to the country, how dare the headquarters cut off supplies? The southwest is located in a key area, in case there is any accident, they are not afraid of blame from above?"

Yan Tianbei said lightly: "The money and grain they nominally allocated to the southwest have always only increased, but before they reached our hands, they were intercepted by several nearby branches. As long as some procedures are done well, they will not really be traced to the end. ”

Qin Ruxuan raised her eyebrows: "Are they trying to force Senior Brother Yan out of the southwest?"

"That's right. Yan Tianbei secretly said that this Second Miss Qin was worthy of being from the ancient royal family, and she was extremely sensitive to these conspiracies, he took another sip of wine, and continued: "Originally, they transferred me to the southwest, just to think of borrowing a knife to kill people, and borrowing the power of the Shadewu Alliance to get rid of me. ”

Lu Shaoxi and Qin Ruxuan thought that ten years ago, the leader of the Shadewu Alliance personally led the elite to invade, and it was indeed a few days after Yan Tianbei went to the southwest, the then branch governor refused to fight, but sneered at Yan Tianbei, and ordered him to take his men and horses to fight the more than 10,000 Shade warriors alone, which was obviously to put him to death. It's just that Yan Tianbei is brave and invincible, resourceful, and took advantage of the time and place to defeat the Shadewu Alliance in the "first-line sky", but he made an immortal feat and gained a firm foothold in the southwest branch.

"Later, I gained a firm foothold in the southwest, they wanted to transfer me back to Yandu to monitor house arrest, I refused, and they used all kinds of overt and covert means, but I didn't expect that I still survived, and I also made a lot of reputation in the southwest, and in the end they simply cut off the supply and transferred away all the people who could be transferred. ”

Yan Tianbei didn't say what the means were, but Lu and Qin couldn't have imagined how much dirt and despicability there were, and their hearts were heavy.

"People who practice martial arts have a large amount of food, and the southwest border is all semi-desertified land, and even the local people have difficulty living, so how can they have food to supply us? I am a big old man, not good at business, the only way is to sweep the border bandits, but the large-scale bandits were quickly cleared, and the rest of the small bandits are wandering in the vast desert, we have no way, in the end we can only farm the land by ourselves, from time to time the Shadewu League also sent people to intrude, that day is bitter...... My kid didn't grow tall because he didn't have enough to eat at that time. ”

Yan Tianbei put down the wine bottle heavily, the wine spilled out, he smiled self-deprecatingly again, released his true anger, gathered all the wine that was scattered in the air without leaking, and took it back into the wine bottle.

Lu Shaoxi and Qin Ruxuan saw it in their eyes, and suddenly understood why Yan Tianbei ate every grain of rice in the bowl every time he ate, and even understood why Yan Lingtian's face was yellow and thin, as if he was malnourished-it turned out that Yan Tianbei, the only son of the Alliance, couldn't even eat enough when he was a child.

With this "understanding", the two of them felt a heavy discomfort in their hearts.
