The mountain flowers linger in the valley and the deer muntjac is born, the eyebrows and the moon hang in the sky and the stars are distinct;

Kong Ji's family and a group of women and children who were in distress suffered in the mountains, and Yi Yi returned to Shan Yuting's court, only to realize that the chaos in Shan Yuting's court was getting bigger and bigger! First, the brothers Wu Dan and Liu Hujin fought, and finally they relied on Kong almost in mid-air to learn from the big Shan Yu military ministers to disintegrate Liu Hujin's soldiers and horses; and then Yi Pheasant helped Liu Hujin to kill Shan Yuting under Wu Dan's rule again. After several months of trouble, most of the people who fled became starving or directly became prisoners of both sides, and only a few people were able to escape with their lives.

Although Yi Yi was not afraid of the rain of arrows gathered by both sides, he just saw that one by one the vigorous strong men became headless ghosts in an instant, and a good body lost his soul in an instant, and was torn clean by wild dogs and wolves, and vultures and crows picked up bits and pieces of flesh and bones, and then surrounded the crowd and did not give up. He simply got into the merchant tent with the army outside the city, out of sight and out of mind, and continued to communicate with people in the dark. Now Yi Yi already has the confidence to win, in the battle of Shan Yuting for a few months, inadvertently, he won more than a dozen tents, tens of millions of cattle and sheep, more than 100 horses, and became a rich man!

Yi Pheasant Evil also laid down a single Yu Court at this time, the prince of Udan escaped from Lu, life and death were uncertain, Yi Yi took his large herd of livestock, dozens of slaves, one by one embroidered with brocade ribbons, riding horses. Look at Yi Yi himself, wearing a brocade crown with a shining pearl, wearing an embroidered satin robe with a purple gold and jade belt around his waist, suede boots on his feet, a newly inlaid iron palm, and a Dawan horse on his crotch. Covered in snow white. Not a single stray hair. People are handsome and extraordinary. The horse is majestic, and the people who watch it are speechless, pointing and pointing, and they don't know which prince and which country the prince is. He was going to follow the army of Yi Pheasant Evil into Shan Yuting.

When they arrived at the city gate, a group of warriors blocked the way, and a small leader came over and said with a smile: "Boxian." Why do you want to enter Shan Yuting? The king has an order that Han people are not allowed to enter Shan Yuting! Otherwise, he will be killed!" "Bo Xian has been given his name by the people in the Bo field for a few months, which means that he has an outstanding character, like a man among the immortals, and he is also very skilled, so he has not lost much. That's what everyone calls him. Yi Yi took a look, most of these people had gambled with him, and they were all familiar with each other, and he knew that he was right. smiled: "It's not authentic for this Yi Pheasant to do this." You can tell him. That's what I said, if he wants to live for a long time. He can't be so hostile to the Han people and look for trouble with the Han people everywhere! Otherwise, he will regret it one day. He turned around and ordered his subordinates: "Let's go!"

A person turned out from the side and said with a smile: "No hurry." I haven't seen you for a few days, how can you become a Bo Immortal? How can a character like you not be exempt from vulgarity, and you have to get such a vulgar name? Isn't it insulting the title of Immortal!" Yi Yi felt that his head was suddenly big, and it was absolutely not good for this person to appear, and when he saw his smiling appearance, he wanted to whip him. Holding back the anger in his heart, he said coldly: "These days, I haven't been thinking about you all the time! How dare you come to see me?"

Although those warriors felt very good about him, they didn't expect him to dare to talk to Huyan Jimeng like this, and their faces changed drastically, some of them had already held down the handle of their swords, and some of them took off their bows. Huyan Jimeng was not angry, and said with a smile: "Yo, this kid is getting bolder and bolder. Okay, you deserve the title you guys gave you!, but I won't have time to compete with you. The Han envoy has accepted my challenge and wants to have a keju battle with me!How about it? If you are interested, you can join the Han envoy team, and we will go to the bow field to pass the foot!" His eyes were fixed on Yi Yi with a smile on his face, but Yi Yi felt that his smile was cold.

Keju, he is no stranger, it's just the competition between the Han envoy and Huyan Jimeng, I'm afraid it's not so simple, there are too many things hidden in it, and it won't be something he can understand for a while. However, he couldn't show weakness now, he sneered: "Oh! yes? If you are not afraid of death, just come, and the master should accompany you." Huyan Jimeng sneered and left, he just wanted to solve the trouble caused by the Han envoy once and for all, so as long as the people related to the Han envoy, he had to serve it in one pot, no matter who the other party was!

Yi Yi led people to find a clearing, set up the tent, watching his subordinates busy, his butler came over, this is a man who has no hair on his head, but his beard is extremely thick, covering his mouth and nose, Yi Yi has always wondered, he ate and drank to swallow the beard also. His name is Sheng Jizi, he was a person who traveled inside and outside the Great Wall, stole and sold items from the Han land into the Xiongnu, and sold the famous horses and bows of the Xiongnu into the Han land. Sheng Jizi said to Yi: "Does the lord really want to participate?"

Yi Yiman replied, "What? What do you think?"

Sheng Jizi smiled: "The lord is a casual person. When I get to the same place with the Han envoy, what will I do in the future? Will I follow the Han envoy or leave? I'm afraid it won't be easy. ”

Yi Yi also understands that if he really ends up playing against Huyan Ji League and them this time, Hu Yan Ji League will be followed by Yi Pheasant Evil, and Yi Pheasant Evil will be the Hun Da Dan Yu, not to mention whether he can win, in fact, whether he can play alive is a mystery! Not to mention that after Keju, he just survived by luck, and the Han envoy was bent on going west, as his entourage, can Yi Yi give up everything he has now? Can his personality follow the Han envoy all the way to the end? It is unknowable.

Kong almost appeared, and he said happily: "I heard that the Han envoy and the Huns have a competition again! Brother Yi is an expert, and he must not miss the opportunity to show his talents!"

"Do you want to play too? Why are you in such a hurry!"

"Hey, I don't have that ability! Or I'll be the first to play. However, I have contributed my treasures, and I will definitely be able to make the Han envoy Ju team win. ”

"Hmm. This whetted Yiyi's appetite, he didn't believe that there was any other art of war formation to play Keju, and he didn't think it was necessary. But since he is so skilled, let's see and see, so he came to the Han envoy's tent. Meet the Han envoys.

Zhang Qian was very happy. took out the Keju atlas that Kong almost sent. I saw small people, round and square dots, and a few arrows pointing to different points. After watching it for a long time, he, like others, didn't see the fame. Zhang Qian knew that he was smart, put away the map, but handed it to Yi Yi, "You still have this secret map." If you dig a little deeper, you may be able to find a way to defeat the enemy. It's useless to put it with me. He turned his head to Kong and said, "Brother Kong, isn't it?"

Kong almost smiled: "Rouge is given to beautiful women, and swords are given to warriors." ”

Yi Yi didn't want to take it, looking at the Han envoy smiling, Kong almost and the others were full of eagerness, and they couldn't bear to brush off everyone's will, so they had to take it and put it in their arms. Zhang Qian said: "Huyanji's covenant is to end up with eight people. I remember when I was in Chang'an, I saw a competition in the army. Most of them are in a team of more than 10 people. Did the juju show change the rules when it arrived in the side court?"

Yi Yi looked around everyone, Zhang Qian is an angel. It can't be stopped; Gan's father's hair is gray, like an old man, with old arms and legs, and he can't get out; Kong is almost weak, not to mention being hit by someone, even if he accidentally falls, it will take him half a day to get up; only the three-legged cat seems to be more clever. I can't help but sink in my heart, no one here can make up enough!

Zhang Qian seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "People, we haven't made up enough, but it shouldn't be a problem." As long as we say it, a great crowd of people will come in. ”

Yi Yi smiled bitterly: "What the adults said is true. However, this Keju is the same as others, and if you haven't played it, you won't be able to enter the door for a while! Since this Huyan Jimeng dares to come up with such a question, he knows it in his heart, and we don't have enough people. Zhang Qian was skeptical, "Isn't there so many ways to do this? Isn't it just that you just kick the ball into the door?"

"That's what I thought. Later, I saw a few Huns playing, extremely complicated, we are used to playing by oneself, very casual, casual, can also play a variety of tricks, fascinating, but can not compete with others! After all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, you alone is a great ability, people come up, Ju'er is lost, to the feet of others. ”

"What should we do? Shall we just admit defeat? We will not have time to gather people and learn from scratch!"

"What day did he and the adults agree to compete?"

"May 15. There are less than ten days to go. ”

"In this way, we still have room to turn around. There are a few people who are middle and high-handed, I can find him, and everyone knows them, that is, a few of them are veterans, but they are older, and it is not certain whether they can enter or not, but you can consult them when you come. There are still a few people in Yuting Shan Ting, all of whom are Han, but they dare not show their heads now, for fear of being beaten to death. They had to be bought first. ”

Zhang Qian Yile, "If you need me to come forward, I'll go." However, I don't have much money on me, so I can't buy people. The crowd laughed. Yi Yizhi said that what he said was the truth, most of the things he had brought with him over the years had been given to people, and nothing of value could be kept. also smiled: "Buy people, you don't need adults to come up with one." I did it myself. There are three mountains on the sea, I want to invite adults to take a trip, although those few have a deep hatred with Hanting, in the face of great rights and wrongs, I think they can still get by. ”

One sentence reminded Zhang Qian, "Oh! By the way, I've always wanted to visit them." Haven't they been impacted by such a big mess?"

"Money is a god. In addition, they have very deep roots, unlike Cheng Tiexuan, although the scene is huge, they have no foundation, and they have been uprooted. ”

"Where is Cheng Tiexuan now? I'm afraid his loss this time is not small. Also, his lost son, I heard that he also came back, and he also became an official in Shan Yuting, which is said to be extremely good. I'd love to meet you too. ”

"They were the first to be plundered, and the men ran away, but the wealth was empty. I've seen him twice more and the old guy is in good spirits. Looks like I'm going to bow to him. The people did not know about the festival among them, and thought that he was deliberately taking a shelf.

Yi Yi found Cheng Tiexuan here and told him what happened. Cheng Tiexuan said angrily: "Since you Yi Yi is here, I will naturally give you enough face, and return to the court to compete with Huyan Jimeng! If it is someone else, even if it is the Han envoy in person, I may not sell his face." ”

Yi Yiyi smiled: "I am really ashamed to let you go through the wind and frost again! What do you always call in the future, I am duty-bound and do my best to contribute to you!"

Cheng Yi looked at the two of them. He asked, "This Keju." I also played it when I was a kid. Do you really need to make such a big move? Can't you just find a few people to go up there?"

"Nope. This juju was created by our Chinese ancestor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and it was performed according to the army's art of war formation, and it was not a joke from the beginning! Since ancient times, famous generals led their troops to fight and practiced soldiers on weekdays. This juju play, in the superficial play. There is a very deep truth, not a famous general, not a master, it is difficult to understand, and it will not achieve the purpose of the exercise. What you usually see is that some gentlemen have fun by themselves, and they are no different from cockfighting and lackeys, but they are just the stuff of Bo disciples! This juju drama has been a little declining in the Han court army over the years. First, there are no famous generals, and second, big officials oppose it. I heard that I still like these things today, but I don't know if I can rebuild the majesty of the day. Cheng Tiexuan explained to him.

Yi nodded: "I don't know when." This juju was passed into the Xiongnu, as well as the West. On the contrary, these fanhu are serious and follow certain rules, have a decent game, and play a very good chapter. I've seen them play a few times, and the shock in my heart is indescribable. So this time, when I heard about the war book under the Huyan Ji Alliance, I didn't know the bottom of my heart. ”

"When I hear you say that, my heart is also cold! A few of us old fellows go up, and we may be kicked in a few strokes. Heh, it's a big loss now, I really shouldn't have promised you kid. ”

Yi Yi knew that Cheng Dao Cheng Tiexuan was joking, but his heart was also uneasy, these people could have spent the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they could have lived their old age in peace, but because of themselves, they re-entered the dangerous situation, if they were injured or disabled, they would not be able to redeem themselves! What kind of map of yours, take it out and let's take a closer look at it and see if there is anything in it that can break the enemy. ”

Yi Yi took out the atlas that Kong almost got from Prince Xifan, Cheng Yi looked at it, and only felt that there were people running non-stop, some forward, some backward, some to the left, and some to the right. I couldn't help but nod and smile. Yi Yi didn't expect that he hadn't seen many famous names after studying for a long time, but when he came to him, he saw through it, and he was shocked. Cheng Tiexuan and the others also nodded slightly, although they had not seen these maps, they were familiar with the art of war, especially Cheng Tiexuan, although they were in the middle of a business trip, they were very good at studying the art of war. Although Cheng Yi has not really studied the art of war, he read a lot of military books in the school when he was a teenager, and he also dabbled in Qimen and gossip, so when he saw the map, he could immediately associate it with others. Although Yi Yi is smart, he just reads too little, and at this time he shows his shortcomings.

Don't say that Yi Yi was shocked, but said that Cheng Yi, at the beginning, he just nodded frequently, feeling that he saw the mystery. I didn't expect that the longer I watched it, the more thrilling my heart became, and dense beads of sweat gradually appeared on my head. Cheng Tiexuan only felt that his heart was agitated, and his chest was extremely uncomfortable, so he didn't dare to look at it anymore and turned his head away. Jiang Zitong and the others had already turned their heads away, not daring to look at the picture, and everyone looked at Cheng Yi with concern, worried that he couldn't control it and something would happen.

Cheng Yi looked at the map, and gradually seemed to be in it, and he also ran and jumped with the people on the map, someone kicked in the back, he shook it gently, someone stretched out his legs in front of him to block, he crossed high, a person Taishan pressed the top, the whole body swooped down from above, he avoided it sideways, easily kicked the ball up and down, his heart met with God, and God acted with him. He no longer felt upset, but as if he was on the court, chasing the wind and electricity, he only felt happy, dodging one difficulty and danger after another, avoiding the hidden sinister plots, and bypassing one person, two people, and three people、...... There was no one around him to stop him anymore, so he raised his foot lightly, twisted his body slowly, and kicked it out against the ball, and the ball entered the door in response! At first, everyone just saw that his face was sweating, and they were very worried, but at this time, seeing him smiling, they knew that he had seen the doorway, and they were all relieved.

Cheng Yi breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted, "Okay! Good guy, it's really dangerous!" Everyone didn't know that he had already experienced life and death, and thought he was just bluffing. He didn't say much, because no one believed what Zhilu Dao said! He rolled up the bow score and handed it to Yi Yi. Yi Yi waved his hand and said, "Just leave you there! Besides. That's something close to the hole. He gave it, just hoping to make a difference, and now that you understand it, it will work. Cheng Yi had to take it and put it in his arms.

Cheng Tiexuan thought for a moment and said to everyone: "I always feel that something is wrong, everyone, how does this Ju score seem to have a method of gossip? Could it be that the people of the West Pole also understand gossip? Or is this Ju score made by me from the East Tu?"

Jiang Zitong said: "I'm also strange. I feel as if the people inside are moving in a certain direction. Now that the eldest brother says it, it's really a gossip map! Maybe this figure maker has learned gossip, maybe he can't say. ”

Lu Zhiyan smiled and said: "Look at this skin, the time must not be close, I'm afraid it has been hundreds of years, and the graphics are still so clear, as if they are stabbed, it must be the work of a fine stabbing master! I don't know if there is such a stabbing master in the West Pole of the Dao Dao, I just think that unless it is a royal family in Han or even a royal assassin, it can be done!" Everyone nodded, and Yi Yi was dumbfounded. These people could see so much from a shabby atlas that he could not have imagined. couldn't help but admire Cheng Tiexuan and the others, and the little nostalgia in his heart disappeared.

Cheng Yi smiled, "This is most likely the work of the people of the West Pole." I've seen a few people from the West, and they are also extremely fine, and their embroidery skills are also extraordinary, and I am not the only one who can do it. We should not be arrogant at this point! Besides, the above bow diagram is not necessarily gossip and nine palaces, and what else must be saved in the middle, striking the head and tail, and hitting the tail and the head, these are just common things in the army, I heard that there are several big countries in the West Pole, and they have fought frequently for many years, and there are also excellent commanders and famous generals, and only famous generals and masters in Juzhong plus special assassins, all three are indispensable, and this small piece of Ju map can be produced! I can't think of a few hundred years in the Han land, all three are fine. ”

"He doesn't have to be all three. For example, I am a general, and there may be people around me who are good at juju play, and there are people under the account who are good at embroidery, and all three are ready. Yi Yi disagreed with Cheng Yi's statement, Cheng Yi shook his head, "It is possible for three people to complete such a picture together, but it is never so exquisite." ”

Yi Yi was about to argue, but someone came in from outside and shouted: "Cheng, big official! Your old boy is hiding here and is a turtle with a shrunken head! I don't know that the sky is boiling outside the road, and I don't care that there are dead and wounded outside!" Cheng Yi and Yi Yi's faces changed color, and they wanted to go up and beat this guy.

Cheng Tiexuan didn't wait for the two to speak, he stood up first, ran to the man in a few steps, hugged the man, knelt on the ground, looked excited, choked up, and then said: "You, your old man, great! Great! I didn't expect you to be alive!" Even Bi Xinxuan and a few people were staring at each other, not knowing which person in front of him was to get such a big gift from Cheng Tiexuan!

The man sneered and pulled him up, looked up at the arrangement of the big tent, and sneered silently. Cheng Tiexuan gradually regained his composure, helped the man to sit on the top, accompanied him sideways, and ordered: "Quickly bring something!" Someone successively brought rhino horn cups, jade plates, marigolds, home-brewed pure mash, deer tongue, bear's paws and other delicacies. The man was not polite, he did not refuse to come, and before the person who served the food left, the food in the plate was gone, and Cheng Tiexuan kept pouring wine into the cup, and the man was also in his hands! Everyone who watched secretly laughed, but they were shocked: This person has such a big belly!

Finally, his movements slowed down, and he had a big burp, which smoked so much that the people around him couldn't open their eyes, but Cheng Tiexuan didn't seem to know what to do, and still sat still, his respectful expression became more and more solemn.

The man seemed to be finally satisfied, and then he spoke: "Tie Daguan, you are okay, unlike some people, who hide when they see me! You are a conscientious, but don't blame me and scold you!"

"Well, it should be. Whatever you say is for my good. ”

"Well, this is your son Xiaoyi, right? He looked at Cheng Yi, and his color was much more pleasant. Cheng Yi nodded, and Cheng Tiexuan hurriedly said, "Yes." This is Cheng Yi. Hurry up and kowtow to my grandfather, if it weren't for your old man's family law to see him, I wouldn't dare to let him see you. "It's as if Cheng Yi kowtows to him is a great honor. Cheng Yi reluctantly knelt far away, puffing in his heart. "I heard that your kid is also very beautiful, and he is still a captain in Shan Yuting! Why don't you do it?"

Cheng Yi felt awkward in his heart, and said in his heart: Who are you? Why do you worry a lot! Cheng Tiexuan smiled and said, "The old man asks you something! He is not by my side, and he doesn't like to talk much." ”

The man rolled his eyes. I saw Yiyi. Suddenly smiled: "Why is this kid here?" Yi Yi was stunned. Why didn't he have any impression of him?

"Oh, this brother is here for something. The Han envoy Zhang Qian asked him to come. ”

The strange man was also surprised when he heard this, "What? You still have dealings with the Han envoy?" Yi Yi suddenly remembered that there was an old immortal Hu Lianzi in the Bald Department of the Huns, and his heart moved, and without waiting for Cheng Tiexuan to speak, he said: "These days, Shan Yuting has come to an old fairy who is said to have lived for hundreds of years, do you know if you have heard of it?" Cheng Tiexuan hurriedly stopped him with his eyes, but it was too late. The strange man shouted, "What old fairy! That deceitful guy has reappeared, hasn't he? I saw that he was beaten with a beard, not a beard, and not a tooth!"

"Hmm. How did I hear that Hu Lianzi was going to catch a man, knock out his teeth, and stuff them between his toes, and pull off his beard, stuff it into his own mouth, and seal it so that he could graze in the future!" Add another fire. The strange man's eyes were wide open, and the few hairs on his head stood on end. The messy beard moved without wind, obviously already angry, and suddenly his body didn't move, and he actually came to Yi Yi lightly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Yi Yi's wrist like an iron hoop. Yi Yi bared his teeth one by one, endured the sharp pain in his wrist, and the shock in his heart was irrepressibly revealed. The strange man seemed to be extremely satisfied with his shock, and nodded, "Boy, I don't believe you can hold back the pain!" Cheng Yi was also annoyed at this time, and hit the strange man silently with both hands. The strange man seemed to be fully aware of the sneak attack of Lu Dao, and shook Yi Yi's body and met Cheng Yi's hands. Cheng Yi had to retreat, he thought that his father must lose his temper, but he didn't expect Cheng Tiexuan to have no words, knowing that his father was not angry, and he became bolder.

The strange man felt that Yi Yi's wrist was strange, although he increased his strength, but found that the bones in his hand were slippery and did not leave his hands, and he was so soft that there was no place to focus, he was horrified, took off his hand, stared at Yi Yi, and asked: "Boy, when did you practice such a one-handed thing! Grandpa can't control you." He generously admitted that he couldn't control Yiyi, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Yi Yi sneered: "Your little three-legged cat skill is just to be a blessing in front of us juniors! If you really get to the masters of the world, you will be left to run away, and your beard will be ripped off! Your buttocks are swollen, your legs are crippled, your mouth is crooked, and your eyes are disabled......" He also wanted to say, but he didn't expect the strange man to shout wildly, "Which one dares to beat me! It turned out that this person hated someone who said that he had slapped his eyes, and Yi Yi inadvertently said that his eyes were crippled, but he was talking about his sore spots, and his eyes became what they are now, that is, he was beaten by someone, and even Cheng Tiexuan didn't know about his painful past.

In the midst of shouting, he suddenly grabbed Yi Yi's wrist again, Yi Yi thought that he was ready, and the other party could no longer hold his wrist casually like the first time, but he didn't expect to dodge it, and was easily grabbed by the other party's wrist, and couldn't help but feel lost, and his heart was shocked inexplicably. The strange man grabbed him, didn't stop, and pulled Yiyi out of the tent of Shiro. Cheng Tiexuan was shocked, if Yi Yi had three long and two short, he would not be able to explain to the Han envoy Zhang Qian! Hurriedly rushed out, but saw that there was no trace of the two of them, not even a sound! Cheng Yi and the others followed out, but they were also at a loss. Everyone shook their heads, and Cheng Yi said, "I think, he shouldn't be embarrassed by Yiyi." By the way, who is that man, and why is Daddy so respectful to him?"

Cheng Tiexuan smiled bitterly: "I hope Yi Yi is fine." Speaking of that man, you should also know the Tao, when you were born, he came to our house, and your name was given by him. ”

Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, surprised and delighted, "That's, it's just, what should I call it?" He didn't know how to phrase Lu Dao. "It doesn't matter what it's called." You just need to know that he is an elder, even if he has a lot of problems, you have to tolerate it everywhere, after all, there are not many old people in my Cheng family, right?"

Jiang Zitong and the others had already understood, Cheng Tiexuan had talked to them privately, his Cheng family was huge, but it was also the same as other families, there were many big branches and branches, good and bad, and there were a few unsuccessful ones, which brought huge pressure and uneasiness to the family. Among them, there is a grandfather of Cheng Tiexuan, who cultivates in the mountains, and somehow the princes heard that he has cultivated the body of a half-immortal, and they flock to worship under the door, and there are many cultivators around. The officials in the government kept going around every day, and relatives came to warn them. At that time, Cheng Tiexuan was still young, only seven or eight years old, but he fell in love with that person and followed him all day long. Their family is already Tie Xuan's grandfather, and they feel that he is so careless, it is likely to bring disaster to the family, so they strictly rectify it, and the two have a lot of trouble. In a fit of rage, the man broke up with his family and entered Taihang Mountain, and then there was no news. Emperor Xiaojing heard that Sanhe Haojie had many illegal things, and he was furious, and ordered the government to strictly govern and investigate, and the Cheng family suffered the first catastrophe and wanted to be punished by the clan. Cheng Tiexuan was taken out of prison in the dark night, and even Jiang Zitong didn't know who rescued him. Many years later, Cheng Tiexuan became a hero in Handan, with a prosperous family business, but he received many ways to help the people who traveled to the Tao, and traveled with all kinds of real people and feathers, and the rivers and lakes were very puzzled. Everyone thinks about it at this moment, I am afraid that it has a lot to do with him, an ancestor master, but seeing that he doesn't want to say more, everyone is not good to ask.

Haojie has a long body into the bush, and there is never a knife or gun outside his eyes; (To be continued......)
