Under the night sky, a silver ribbon of water flows across the endless grassland.

This stream is the natural boundary between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Wu Kingdom, with the kingdom of Wu on the grassland at one end and the border city of Great Qin at the other.

The upper reaches of the stream slowly floated a wooden barrel.

A strong man with shaved hair and a long beard grabbed the floating wooden barrel, and when he saw that the barrel was old but clean, he carried water and gave water to a gray-white horse behind him.

There was the sound of footsteps in the grass.

The long-bearded man looked at the voice, and his thick eyebrows slowly provoked provocatively.

A black heavier than the night appeared in his eyes.

It was a Great Qin border soldier who was much shorter than him, wearing black leather armor and a very ordinary Xuantie sword.

"That's my drinking toilet. ”

The Great Qin border soldier walked to the edge of the stream, looked at his provocative gaze, his face instantly turned cold, and he nodded at the wooden barrel behind him and said.

The long-bearded strong man looked at the sergeant who was half a head shorter than himself with disdain, and said, "If there is a wooden barrel floating on it, you will say that it is yours, and if it is a princess floating on it, you will also say that it is yours?"

The Great Qin sergeant shook his head coldly and said, "You princesses on the grassland don't want to give me anything, I just want my wooden barrel." ”

When the bearded man heard this, he immediately became angry, his face turned red, and he said angrily, "What did you say?"

Sergeant Daqin didn't look at him, just looked at the wooden barrel behind him, and repeated, "Give me back the toilet." ”

"Really?"

The long-bearded strong man laughed angrily, took a step back, grasped the handle of the long knife hanging from the saddle, and said with a cruel smile: "Then you have a kind of crossing the stream to get it?"

A strange look flashed in the eyes of the Great Qin Sergeant, and he said slowly, "You forced me." ”

The long-bearded strong man smiled, he didn't think that this Great Qin sergeant would dare to cross the border.

On the next breath, however, his smile froze.

The black-armored Great Qin sergeant began to wade through the stream.

There was a loud roar of "Zheng".

When the Great Qin sergeant's footsteps stepped on the solid ground, the long knife of the long-bearded man was already unsheathed.

The long knife in his hand reflected the moonlight, pointed straight at the chest of the Great Qin sergeant, and said coldly, "Go back." ”

The Great Qin Sergeant's hand grasped the hilt of the sword, and he didn't look at him, just looked at the wooden barrel, and said, "What if I don't retreat?"

The long-bearded strong man froze for a moment, and said sharply: "If you don't retreat, I'll kill you." ”

Sergeant Da Qin sneered disdainfully, he held the hilt of his sword in one hand, and stepped forward to get the drinking toilet.

"Look for death!"

The long-bearded strong man shouted angrily, and the knife in his hand was sent forward, his original intention was just to scare the Great Qin sergeant, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he gave the long knife, the Great Qin sergeant didn't even avoid it, and with a pop, the long knife in his hand penetrated the body of the Great Qin sergeant.

The long-bearded man froze for a moment, and his face quickly turned extremely pale in the moonlight.

"You..."

He looked at the long bloodshot that overflowed from the mouth of this Great Qin sergeant hanging on his knife, he couldn't believe it, and he was speechless for a while.

"Is it worth it just for a drinking toilet?"

The Great Qin sergeant didn't look at the barrel again at this time, but looked up at the moon sky above with some nostalgia, looked at the bright full moon, and muttered this.

A terrifying scream pierced the night sky.

Looking at the Great Qin sergeant who fell and died with his own sword, this usually brave and good fighter of the Wu Clan trembled all over.

He didn't understand what was going on.

......

The territory of the Great Qin Dynasty was vast.

From the border with the Wu clan to Changling, even if it is a flying eagle, it is not known how long it will fly.

In the moonlight, a young man walked into a very elegant mansion and sat down in the pavilion by the lotus pond.

A delicate-looking maid walked up behind him.

The young man didn't turn his head, but said lightly: "Since it's the queen mother looking for me, why didn't she come to see me?"

"I'll be there later. ”

The delicate-faced palace maid responded softly and stood aside.

The boy's brow twitched slightly.

The moonlight and starlight seemed to brighten up suddenly.

The boy turned around and saw the queen mother walking slowly, describing it as perfect to the extreme.

Only then did the young man look solemn, bowed to the queen's mother, and said, "An Baoshi has seen the mother." ”

The queen's face was still shining with an indescribable porcelain light, she looked at An Baoshi, without any other opening remarks, and said directly slowly: "The Yue clan has been subordinated, and the Wu clan is still left, if Donghu is leveled again, there will be no future troubles with Yan and Qi in the future." ”

An Baoshi was stunned, he was just a breather, and he somewhat understood the terrible meaning implied in the queen's words.

He frowned slightly, but did not answer.

"Some people are useful, some people are not. ”

The queen looked at him and continued, "I would like to hear your opinion. ”

An Baoshi thought about it, laughed, and said: "In a person's life, what you have to do is to do great things, and what you have to do is the biggest big thing in the world." ”

The queen was very satisfied with his words, and smiled, but her smile also shone with a porcelain-like cold light, without any joy.

......

Qingteng Sword Academy.

A swordsman arrived at the courtyard gate.

His sword was wide and big.

The rest of the swordsmen in Changling were all carrying swords on their backs, holding swords in their hands, or wearing swords at their waists, but he walked on his feet.

He is Guo Dongshan.

The queen asked him to take Zhang 15 to the Great Floating Water Prison, but because of the problem of passing the order, she went to intercept the cultivators of the Killing God Army.

A hermit cultivator who is not famous, but many powerful people know that he is a very powerful grandmaster.

The late night visit of such a grandmaster naturally has a deep meaning.

Di Qingmei, the dean of the Qingteng Sword Academy, appeared in front of Guo Dongshan for the first time.

Guo Dongshan is very humble.

He first put away his sword and saluted Di Qingmei, but then, his face became stern, and he said slowly: "Dean Di, the war between Great Qin and the Wu Clan will start tonight. ”

"What!" Di Qingmei's face changed, and he even thought he had misheard.

"The previous words are all nonsense I said, and you will forget it after hearing it. Now the world doesn't know that the war between my Great Qin and the Wu Clan will start, but three days later, my Great Qin Dynasty will be at war with the Wu Clan, and it was the Wu Clan that triggered the next war tonight. ”

Guo Dongshan looked at Di Qingmei quietly and said, "This is the battle of the dynasty, so the queen has an order to order all the sword masters and students of the Qingteng Sword Academy, except for all the lecturers who teach daily courses, to rush to the border of the Wu Clan, including Dean Di." ”

Di Qingmei's body shook violently, and he looked at Guo Dongshan in disbelief.

"Don't worry, it's not like this in the Qingteng Sword Academy. ”

Guo Dongshan took a deep breath, looked up at the bright full moon, and said slowly: "All Changling's cultivation places will be like this... In the future, Qingteng Sword Academy and Baiyang Cave will continue to exist, but in the future, students will have to accept the order of the Terracotta Division and serve our army. ”

said that he was relieved, but this sentence made Di Qingmei even more shocked to the point that it was difficult to attach, even he, who usually did not dare to disobey the meaning of the hostess in the deep palace, couldn't help but tremble: "Are you crazy?"

......

"Crazy?"

This night, someone else was saying the same thing.

It's just that this person's feelings are very calm.

This is a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes, and behind him is a very old Taoist temple.

There are a lot of very old artemisia grass growing on the eaves of the Taoist temple.

These artemisia grasses are very unique golden yellow, and they will not wither in the winter snowy weather, as if they are emitting precious light.

This Taoist temple is the Baoguang Temple.

Standing in front of this middle-aged man in plain clothes was an officer of the Terracotta Division.

The rank of this official should be high enough.

Because the aura on his body was strong enough, so powerful that it almost enveloped the entire Treasure Light Temple.

"This is true not only of the Treasure Light Temple, but also of all the places of practice. ”

"Baoguangguan was built by the emperor in the first emperor's time, and in Changling City, Mr. Lu, your generation of grandmasters, should understand that everything should be done according to the sky. Hearing the plain-clothed man's response, the official's expression was also very calm, and he said patiently.

The middle-aged man in plain clothes shook his head, laughed, and said, "I only heard that there are some things to do, and some things to do." ”

After a pause, he looked at the official and continued, "You are also a cultivator, so you should know that what many cultivators want is not fame and fortune, but freedom of mind. ”

The high-ranking official of the Terracotta Division narrowed his eyes slightly, and was about to speak, but the plain-clothed man interrupted him again, "Don't think about using any righteousness to suppress me, you have to understand that the vast majority of cultivation places are like that Zhao Jian Furnace, if you are willing to be strong, what is the difference between external enemies and internal enemies?"

The high-ranking official of the Terracotta Division took a deep breath and said, "Are you already decided?"

The middle-aged man in plain clothes didn't say anything more.

A pure sword intent emanated from his body.

A plain natal sword quietly appeared in front of him, and the sound of a huge mountain moving began to be heard in the sky.

However, just then, he raised his head.

He looked at a corner tower.

At the top of the turret, a force came out, as if the whole turret was pouring down on him.

(If I say that a book lover friend came to Wuxi today, and I want to have dinner together in the evening, I'm afraid there is only this one watch today, and tomorrow's four watches, will everyone ask to cut JJ directly?)
