Chapter 3: Sunset Xiongguan

At night, the valley is different from the silence of the past. It is as if all life www.biquge.info die with the setting of the sun. And in the dark cave, the sound of the dog's rapid heartbeat was the only movement in this dead silence.

You can't get into this cave no matter how you go, but you can't get out of it. No matter how you walk, it's pitch black, and no matter how you go, it's so quiet.

On the face washed by the rain, the slightly dark skin gradually diffused with a large faint black gas.

Lost? This cave has been going back and forth so many times in the past that it will actually get lost. It's a damn hit.

The old people in the village often say that after death, people will enter reincarnation, free from the shackles and fetters of life, and free from the pain and suffering of life. Abandon the flesh that is already scarred. In boundless happiness, reincarnation. Or turn into wind, or turn into rain, or turn into wildflowers, or turn into trees, and after several reincarnations, re-incarnate as humans.

In these short seven or eight years of life, he has experienced too many misfortunes. I have experienced too much suffering and witnessed too much misery. So he was not afraid of death, and he was never afraid of death. Perhaps, death is more akin to a kind of relief and a kind of luck for his small life. After all, he was tired and desperate of this world. I was so tired in my previous life, but I am even more tired in this life than in my previous life. It's just that I haven't seen all the magic of this life, and I'm really unwilling to die.

Give up, I'm too tired. He just lay straight on the cold ground. Quietly waiting for death. Oh, I'm going to die before I can expose the old man's lies, old man, you're really sorry for me. The bronze sword in his hand also fell to his side like an abandonment. In the palm of the young palm, there is a rich black gas. On his belly, a word gradually became clear.

After a long time, the sound of whirring wind and the sound of water droplets falling to the ground gradually sounded in my ears. There is a hint of noisy human voices. He struggled to open his eyes, blinking them with all his strength. Will blur the line of sight and find out a focal point.

People, people everywhere, people in armor and helmets everywhere, Qin troops everywhere.

This cave, which used to be a little lonely, is now almost filled with all kinds of Qin troops. They gathered around a few black-robed people, pointing around the not-so-large wooden bird. Those black-robed people with their backs to him seemed to be extremely excited, and erupted into bursts of exclamations from time to time.

Alas, damn it, the Qin army still found here. He tried to reach for the bronze sword he had dropped, but found that his entire right hand was completely devoid.

The whole body was unusually heavy, like a 10,000-ton boulder pressing and suffocating. The pain of burning all over my body was like being torn apart by a wild dog.

Just as he was struggling, he suddenly saw a figure in the corner of his eye that he would never forget---- Widow Li

Widow Li, who is in her twenties, is wearing a white dress with her hair in a bun, although it is a little rough, but she still can't resist the temptation of her body and the spring love in the corners of her eyes. As the saying goes, a woman should be pretty and filial. Widow Li, who changed out of her usual coarse cloth clothes, looked particularly bright and moving. Especially the smile on his face with an obvious flattering color, it seems that he is more delicate than flowers.

"My lord, this is the wooden bird that the folk girl said, do you think it is still agreeable?" The sweetness in the words seemed to lift the human heavenly spirit cover, and pour a full of wild honey into it.

The man in black at the head glanced at her, and a smile appeared like a reward. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips as if they had just been filled with blood, and a slightly slender face lined with long black hair, which looked even more pale and terrifying. It's obviously a man, but it's more charming than a woman.

"Then sir, 、、、 look" Widow Li looked at the man in black with a little infatuation, half-exposing her breasts and wanting to show her unusual style with which young girls.

"Reward" The man in black flicked the jade pendant on his waist, and several black-armored sergeants walked over to Widow Li, looking at the beautiful Widow Li proudly and condescendingly, all kinds of seductive gestures seemed to these two or three armor soldiers to just look at a bunch of red and pink skeletons: "Follow me"

"Oh, Lord Xie, Lord Xie" Widow Li glanced around with silky eyes, and suddenly noticed the dog baby lying on the ground, and suddenly restrained her smile, revealing a trace of disgust. With a light snort, he turned and followed the sergeants deeper into the cave to receive their rewards.

After Widow Li left, the man in black turned his head to stare at the dog baby who had woken up. His eyes seemed to have the power to seduce the soul, and the dog baby gradually lost in his eyes, and gradually fell asleep again.

In the dream, he dreamed of Widow Li, bleeding and her clothes were broken.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know when it started to rain again. The cold rain and mist were blown by the wind, and it poured into the thin clothes. The dog baby sat on the throne of the carriage and looked blankly ahead.

The plants on both sides, from trees to shrubs to trees, have gradually moved away from the direction of the village. The road ahead is thin and long, and I don't know where it leads, and I don't know where to go.

Just like the heart of the dog, in addition to being confused, it is still confused. The only relative in this life is gone.

In the past few days, the people in the convoy have also become familiar with this taciturn little imp, and from time to time the talkative coachman will tell him why the Qin army stepped out of the Sunset Pass a few days ago and went to this small village that is not marked on the marching map.

A few days ago, Widow Li heard about the wooden bird in the mouth of the old man, so she secretly conveyed the news to the Qin army on the border while the old man was busy working in the back mountain during the day. Qin Jun killed the only relative in his life. Widow Lee betrayed them. It's something to hate. But the dog baby can't hate it, after all, this woman is just trying to survive better, this kind of filth, I have seen too much in my previous life. Maybe betraying an old man who likes him can get back the chance to escape from that purgatory, why not.

She's just trying to survive, alas. It's a pity that this braggart old widower who wanted to push the cart for five or six years was crushed by the car.

The past life and too many experiences in this life have long made the dog's heart almost like an old man in his fifties and sixties, and he saw through the red dust prematurely.

The only thing worth grieving is the death of the old man.

Qin has a law, all border people, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. If the order is violated, it will cause trouble to the neighbors.

Who let them reincarnate on this damn frontier.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qin and Xirong are connected by a long border. Among them is a small Lying Niu Mountain. There is only one small road that is not wide in Woniu Mountain to connect with the outside world, and along this road you can go directly to the westernmost Xiongguan of the Qin army: Sunset Pass. The Sunset Pass garrisoned 30,000 troops, led by a military marquis with inhuman strength, and was the checkpoint with the largest number of soldiers stationed in the western part of the Qin army. On both sides are high mountains that are difficult for birds to cross.

Such superior geographical conditions allow the Qin people in the Sunset Pass to live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about the border troubles in Xirong.

With the sound of wheels and stone slabs colliding, the group gradually approached the first Xiongguan in the west.

If it was a sunny day, I would have seen the bloody sunset shining on the city walls, as well as the armor-clad soldiers on the walls.

The slightly dilapidated blue-gray city wall, like a monster that has been accumulated, is entrenched in the middle of the road, watching pedestrians pass by with its indifferent and empty city gates.

A gust of wind blew, blowing the huge banners on the city walls. Dou Da has a Qin character, floating above the city tower.

The convoy gradually approached the city wall, and an aura that could be called a war spirit rushed towards it. The dog's already somewhat sick face was dyed even paler.

As a border city, most of the buildings in the city are made of sturdy boulders, and there are not many pedestrians on both sides of the streets. The occasional group of people and horses walking by is either a sergeant covered in armor or a slightly strange mysterious person dressed in black. The wide streets, which can accommodate eight horses in parallel, are in stark contrast to the slight scarcity of people.

The dog baby looked back at the city wall, the giant crossbow guarding the city, and the black-clothed armor soldier floating in the air, looked particularly powerful against the backdrop of several huge bronze mirrors. This is Da Qin! As one of the thirteen most powerful countries in the Great Zhou, Da Qin is invincible! It is also the Great Qin who constantly hurts him.

On both sides of the street, there are not too many shops, but a few medical halls and blacksmith shops. Bright swords hung on both sides of the street. Bundles of arrows were lifted by the sergeants, placed on wagons, and transported to the storehouse under the city walls. Occasionally, there were one or two one-man thick arrows, surrounded by runes and incantations, which were clearly the special arrows used by the giant crossbows on the city walls. Such a huge arrow, if it is shot on a person's body, it is estimated that there will not even be minced meat left.

Little by little, the convoy moved down the streets towards the inner city, unhurried, and occasionally a few curious or conscientious soldiers were ready to come forward to investigate, and once they saw the mark of the black water snake on the convoy, they would stand on both sides until the convoy was far away.

After a long while, the convoy stopped in front of a large mansion in the inner city. A group of sergeants who came out of the door transported the wooden birds, which had been disassembled into parts at the back of the convoy, to the courtyard.

The man in black he had seen before beckoned to the dog.

The dog baby jumped out of the carriage and walked towards him in silence.

Without waiting for the dog to come to him, the man walked quickly towards the courtyard.

"Come with me" An old man with a long beard and a slight hunchback walked over and looked at the dog baby with a smile: "Lord Xi has ordered, in the past few days, all the activities of the little brother will be arranged by me, you can call me Qin Lao"

The dog baby looked back to the northwest. One day, I will return, and Daqin will be buried with you with a million! This is the first promise I made in this life!

The dragon takes off the shallows and rushes into the sky, and the tiger returns to the mountain town for thousands of miles. This Great Qin, but he doesn't know what kind of enemy he has provoked!
