At this time, I was lying flat in the cold sarcophagus, dark and without a trace of light. The back of the neck was in severe pain, the limbs gradually became flexible, reaching out to touch the cold stone wall, the coffin was constantly surrounded by piercing ice water seeping in, fortunately, the stone cracks were small, the water flow was not very large, and it was not enough to fill the huge sarcophagus for a while.

I struggled to get up and sit up, my forehead hitting the slab before I could fully straighten up. The already weak body slipped his hands and lay down heavily. The whole body is cold, the cold air hits the bones, and this cold feeling is the same as ten years ago, which makes people powerless to resist.

Unconsciously, my consciousness began to blur, and I still remember that it was May of that year, and the warm sunshine sprinkled on this northern fortress, Bingma County. It was the Dragon Boat Festival that day, and the Taishou Mansion was very lively, and the servants were all over the place to prepare lunch dishes. My father and my master were in the council hall early in the morning, and they didn't come out for a long time.

When I saw that everyone was busy, I secretly ran to the hut in the southeast corner of the Taishou Mansion, holding the dice cup in both hands and shaking it, and constantly observing the people with my eyes. All around me were sturdy men, all staring intently at the dice cup in my hand, holding their breath, staring at their eyes, quietly waiting for me to drop the cup.

I deliberately wanted to watch this group of gamblers for a while and enjoy the anxious look of the group. With a "snap", the dice cup was buckled on the table, and everyone placed bets one after another. One of the men was twenty-seven or eight-year-old old, lean and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow hips, a square face and big eyes, named Yang Jie. This man was always the last bet, and there was no one waiting for him. Seeing that everyone had finished making bets, he did not hurry and pressed all the remaining two taels of silver on the leopard.

Seventeen or eighteen leopards have been opened in just half an hour, and the previous two rounds have opened two leopards at three and six points in a row, and everyone in this game has pressed the silver on the size, only Yang Jie has pressed the silver on the leopard. I saw that everyone here had already bought and left, sighed lightly, opened the dice, and it turned out to be three or two points, or a leopard, and the men were in an uproar and sighed.

A bright smile appeared on the corner of Yang Jie's mouth, and he was about to get up to collect the money, when suddenly, the wooden door of the hut was pushed open by a person, and there was a "bang", which made everyone's eyes look in the direction of the door. Because he had been in the dim hut for too long, he was so blinded by the dazzling light that he could only see the outline of a human figure, like a god, accompanied by a dazzling light behind him.

That kind of figure can never be forgotten in this life, just now I was still a sophisticated style, I wilted, like a mouse seeing a cat, slipped off the table, walked to the man, and said with a smile: "Mother, how did you find here." ”

The sturdy men gradually adapted to the strong light, and saw this person clearly, the long green silk hair was neatly combed, there was no decoration on the bun, only a silver hairpin inlaid with emerald gemstones, round eyes and curved eyebrows, bright teeth, white cheeks, about thirty years old, looking at me with a majestic face. This person is my mother, the main room of Bingma County Taishou Lu Qian. And I am Lu Qian's son, Lu Yun.

Qiu Fenghua reprimanded sharply: "I became addicted to gambling at a young age, how did I get it when I grew up." Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the house is busy, I can't take care of you for a while, and your father will be busy later, see how to clean you up. ”

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Don't be angry, mother, I have already read through the poems and books taught to me by my husband, and I can answer them fluently with my husband." I read a lot of military books and ancient books, and when I was tired of learning, my eyes saw that there were double shadows around me, so I got up and moved. Unfortunately, when I came here, I saw that it was lively, so I went up to help them shake the dice cup, and as soon as it was served, you came. As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Fenghua with a pair of big watery eyes, pretending to be innocent and pitiful.

Qiu Fenghua looked at Lu Yun like this, and his heart softened, and he wanted to reprimand him harshly, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips. only said to many strong men: "Lu Taishou ordered, today's Dragon Boat Festival, everyone is dressed neatly, and there is a big banquet at noon." ”

The men nodded in agreement and dispersed. Qiu Fenghua took Lu Yun's hand back to the room and changed into a bright dress for him.

In a short time, more than 40 round tables were set up in the wide courtyard, full of wine and food, and 13 or 4 people at each table were seated neatly. Lu Qian came out of the council hall at this time, his face solemn and worried. followed by the master, and his face was even more ugly. Qiu Fenghua walked to Lu Qian's side and tidied up his clothes, looking very affectionate.

The two came to the courtyard together, Lu Qian's face was full of clouds that had dispersed, he cleared his throat, and said loudly to everyone: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, all of you here are your own relatives and brothers, so you don't need to be formal. You've been waiting for me for a while, and you're all hungry. Without further ado, everyone enjoyed the wine and meat. All the relatives and guests responded one after another, raising their glasses and drinking them all.

Lu Qian also followed the glass of wine, and was about to say something more, but before he could say anything, he felt that the sky was suddenly dark, and when he looked up, he saw arrows in the sky raining down, and in an instant, twenty or thirty people in the courtyard were shot through by arrows, and they were killed on the spot, and everyone present was immediately panicked.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qian knew that it was not good, and stretched out his hand to pull Qiu Fenghua to hide under the table. Qiu Fenghua was worried about Lu Yun and shouted loudly. I only heard someone not far away responding: "Mother, I'm fine." Following the voice, he saw Lu Yun hiding under the table, which made Qiu Fenghua let go of his hanging heart.

With a loud "bang", the gate of Taishou Mansion was smashed open by a siege tree, and the two doors were smashed to pieces. One hundred and ten men in armor and with swords and spears in their hands rushed in, and they could not help but say that they would kill anyone they saw. Nearly 400 sturdy men in the courtyard saw that the arrows in the sky had stopped, and they opened the table and rushed out, without a blade in their hands, only holding a bench and using the table as a weapon, desperately resisting.

Lu Yun quickly crawled to Lu Qian's side, the three of them hid under the table, Lu Qian pulled Qiu Fenghua with his left hand, pulled Lu Yun with his right hand, and rushed out in stride, shouting in his mouth: "Rush out." ”

Many of the sturdy men roared wildly and responded one after another, many of them had already snatched each other's swords and spears, and rushed forward, like a trapped beast rushing to the exit, and the force of speed was powerless even for those in armor to resist.

Lu Qian likes to dance with guns and sticks on weekdays, and these strong men are all dead soldiers raised by Lu Qian in the mansion, four hundred people, each of whom is one in a hundred.

When the dead man and Lu Qian's family rushed out of the Taishou Mansion, they found that this place was surrounded by layers of tightness, the silver armor was dazzling, and there were thousands of people. The leader is a thirty-five-year-old man, riding a tall black horse, wearing dark black armor, his hair is neatly combed back, and a pair of eagle eyes are staring straight at the gate of Taishou Mansion, this person is Kong Hao, the king of Beiling who has guarded the northern frontier for generations. Seeing that someone inside rushed out, he ordered loudly: "The Lu family is a traitor, and there is no one left alive." Before the words fell, many Beiling troops shot together.

When Lu Qian saw the King of Beiling, he understood in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Go north, there is an answer there." When the dead heard this, they rushed northward.

The land of northern Xinjiang borders the blue wolf country, and there will be some small men to fight in five or six years, most of the soldiers are just soldiers who eat for a while, and when they see so many dead soldiers who don't want to die and Beiling soldiers who are cut to the ground, where they dare to step forward, they are just two strokes and let go, and some are lying on the ground and pretending to be dead.

Even so, the dead broke out of the encirclement all the way, and most of them were killed and wounded. Lu Qian's relatives were not as strong as the dead soldiers, and most of them died tragically halfway. The king of Beiling was a clear-eyed person, and when he saw the soldiers being so negative, he shouted loudly and sent seven hundred elite cavalry with him to chase and kill all the way.

The dead soldiers beside Lu Qian also have seven or eight first-class masters, all of whom have snatched swords and guns in their hands, Yang Jie is also one of the dead soldiers, a fast knife is rare in the world, seeing the cavalry galloping, jumping up and down for life, the knife in his hand, a cavalryman's head rolled to the ground, sat on horseback, and pulled the military horse.

Seeing this, many dead soldiers followed suit, and for a time, they captured thirteen military horses. At this time, the cavalry of the Beiling Army chased them one after another, and there were only one hundred and ten dead soldiers left, all of whom were desperately resisting. All the way to the north, it is the land of the northern frontier, and thirty miles to the north is the grassland, the boundary of the blue wolf country.

Lu Qian practiced martial arts on weekdays, with some kung fu on his body, holding Qiu Fenghua on the horse with one hand, and lifting Lu Yun with the other hand to turn over the horse, the three of them rode on a horse, and the rest of the family members also got on the horse, and the dead man followed to the north on the side. Yang Jie grabbed a centurion's tall red horse, charged in front, hooked the stirrups with both feet, and waved the double knives in his hands, and all the cavalrymen in close proximity were cut down under the horses.

The Beiling cavalry is also brave, coupled with excellent weapons and equipment, and they cooperate with each other in an orderly manner, and they are always in hot pursuit, and they must kill all the Lu family before they stop. The spears were very close, and although all the dead soldiers were martial arts practitioners, it was a pity that there were too many cavalry, and they couldn't defend the left side but the right side. The dead had little cooperation with each other, and could not cover left and right, and in a short time fifty or sixty people were killed or wounded.

At this time, it has entered the northern grassland, the territory of the blue wolf country. The cavalry hesitated, not as desperately as before. The Lu family and his party only had eight relatives and thirty-four dead soldiers, all of whom were covered with wounds, blood flowing, and exhausted.

There were more than 600 cavalry of the king of Beiling who were chasing, and they did not dare to go too deep into the blue wolf grassland, so they slowed down after entering the grassland, and stopped after chasing more than ten miles. Lu Qian and his entourage didn't dare to stay, and went all the way north, deep into the blue wolf grassland.

I don't know how far I run, I look at it, the grass is green, I look around left and right, and I can't see the shadow of the Beiling cavalry, so I feel a little relieved. At this time, it was almost dusk, and the sky was gradually darkening, and even with good eyesight, he could not see a hundred or ten steps away.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of "whooping" not far away, and the sound was getting closer and closer, only to see a group of black shadows heading straight here. When I got closer, I could see clearly that this group of people were all patrols of the Blue Wolf Country, thirty-five or six people. Lu Qian has lived in northern Xinjiang for a long time, learned the blue wolf language, got up and said: "I have an appointment with Zabusu, and I will meet here." ”

There are dozens of tribes in the northern grasslands, large and small, and these tribes are the descendants of the oldest blue wolf clan, and the tribes have fallen apart over time. But these tribes all claim to be the real blue wolf clan, and they all regard the wolf as a totem, respect the wolf, and fear the wolf. The blue wolf tribe in the north fought bravely and often went to the Central Plains to plunder, but only because the grassland tribes often fought each other did not form a strong military.

When the wolf cavalry heard this, they looked at each other and laughed, and one of them said: "We don't know what Zabusu is, we only know that you Central Plains people have come to a place where you shouldn't come." As he spoke, he took out the scimitar on his waist and slashed at Lu Qian.

The Blue Wolf Clan is naturally tall and burly, with a fierce temperament. Lu Qian and his party already had countless wounds on their bodies, and even a master like Yang Jie was hungry and thirsty all day and very tired. At this time, he didn't care about this, the thirty-four dead soldiers each faced the blue wolf cavalry, and a steel knife with a curly blade in Yang Jie's hand was still so powerful, even if he couldn't cut off the head, it would be smashed together with the neck bone.

Qiu Fenghua desperately protected Lu Yun in his arms, Lu Qian fought left and right, there was no blade in his hand, his arms had already been flesh and skin, and his flesh and blood were blurred. Qiu Fenghua was also injured by the scimitar in many places on his body because of his dedication to protecting Lu Yun, and the blood stained his entire clothes. Although Lu Yun was only eight years old, he was not afraid, but his eyes looked straight at the tragic scene outside, but he was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of disaster had happened to his family to become like this.
