It turns out that the blue and white turn red is really beautiful... I'd love to see it again

Chapter I

There is a quiet small city on the side of the Cangjiang River, called Blue and White City, because the city blooms all over the light blue and white in late autumn every year, there is a poem that once said: "The autumn wind blows the chrysanthemum residue, and the dark fragrance of the blue and white flowers blooms", so it is named after the word "blue and white".

Because it is located on the riverside, the transportation is developed, and the transportation is convenient, there are often businessmen from other countries who come here to do business, and the people in the city are also rich in food and clothing.

In the winter of the first year of Dadu, the king of Jin died of illness, the prince was young, the king of the south Zhao Qi intended to rebel, waved his troops north, passed through the blue and white city, the generals who defended the city escaped, the soldiers in the city were leaderless, and soon broke the city, and suddenly made a mess, the next day the city guard Chen Yi arrived with the troops, repelled Zhao Qi's soldiers and horses, the imperial court sent troops to rehabilitate, and soon ended the war.

Early in the morning, Zhang Shoude of the bun shop secretly poked his head out of the door to observe for a long time, to make sure that there was no danger before slowly going out, wanting to see what his shop was damaged, he was fifty-five years old this year, he had experienced several wars, sighed while walking, thinking that he could see such a scene a few times, passing by the corner of the alley suddenly heard sobbing, followed the reputation to find a boy about four or five years old sitting on the steps of his own bun shop door crying, hurriedly walked over and asked: "Child, what about your family? Why are you sitting here crying?" ”

The boy slowly raised his head and choked: "I... My dad and my mom were quilted... Killed by bad people... Killed... After speaking, he cried even louder.

Lao Zhang's heart tightened: "Alas, what a sin! Don't cry, child, come, let's eat something first." ”

After saying that, he took the boy's hand into his shop and made a few steamed buns for him to eat, the boy cried while eating, Lao Zhang looked at him and remembered his son, fifteen years ago the Yi people rebelled, the son just turned 16 years old and was conscripted to serve as a soldier, and since then he has never returned, his wife also fell ill after learning of his son's death, and he left after two years, and he lived alone in a bun shop. . . Looking at the boy in front of him again, he suddenly wanted to take care of him, and asked softly, "Child, what is your name?"

"I... My name is Lin Yuanqing."

"What's going on in your house?"

The boy's body shook, the bun in his hand suddenly fell, and tears poured out again, "Yesterday... Last night we had a sudden break in our house... Several masked people broke in, and they all had them in their hands... Take the knife and ask Daddy to hand over the valuable... Things, Daddy doesn't want to, and they fight... Fight.,My mother dragged the bad guys.,Big。。。 Shouting for me to run outside, I... I was scared, I kept running, I ran outside for a long time, and when it was almost dawn I came back... When I went home, I saw my father and mother lying on the ground motionless, flowing... Bleeding all over the place, woo woo... After Lin Yuanqing finished speaking, he lowered his head and sobbed.

Lao Zhang said fiercely: "Damn bandit, aren't you afraid of retribution?!" He touched Lin Yuanqing's head, "Child, do you have any other relatives at home?", Lin Yuanqing shook his head silently.

Lao Zhang wiped his tears for him, handed him a bun and said, "Child, you will live with grandpa in the future, grandpa will not let you go hungry." Lin Yuanqing lowered his head and nodded without saying a word.

Since then, the young Lin Yuanqing has lived in Lao Zhang's house, helping to run the bun shop, and going to the dock to help when he is not busy, eight years have passed, Lin Yuanqing often listens to stories in the teahouse next to the dock, and loves to listen to the story of the storyteller Mr. Tell the story of the people in the martial arts, the thief is shocked to rob the rich and help the poor, Wudang Qijie Taihang Mountain and the Western Regions Devil fought for three days and three nights, Renyi Zhuang thousand taels of silver flower bonus only for martial arts justice, etc., listening to the blood boiling, he often fantasized that he would fly the eaves and walk the wall to fight for righteousness, once thought of finding a martial arts person to learn the arts, and the neighbor Brother Zhao drank together and talked about it, Brother Zhao laughed after listening to it, "Xiaolin, look at yourself, although you are strong and flexible, but which martial arts master will accept a child who can only do buns and dock helpers as an apprentice?" Everyone has everyone's life, this life is set by God, no one can violate it, come and come, don't think about it, drink and drink. Lin Yuanqing blushed and wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to say the words to his lips, so he held back for a long time and muttered in a low voice: "It's all said in the book, heroes don't ask where they come from", and after finishing speaking, he drank the wine angrily.

Lao Zhang's neighbor is called Zhao Youcai, in the early years of Shandong famine fled to the blue and white city, and a farmer's daughter married, five years ago his wife died in childbirth, leaving him only a daughter, since then the father and daughter depend on each other, because they are neighbors, Zhao Youcai went to the field to farm during the day, and took care of his daughter Zhao Taotao's affairs to Lao Zhang, Lin Yuanqing will also help take care of it when he is free.

Today, Zhao Youcai came to Lao Zhang's house to pick up Tao Tao's face was a little solemn, Lao Zhang asked him what was wrong, Zhao Youcai said: "When I came back just now, I saw the city gate set up a card, and I inquired before I knew that Liang Guo in the west was coming to call again." ”

After hearing this, Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "Alas, this peaceful day has not passed for a few years, and there will be a war again, my old bones are nothing, just look at Yuan Qing and Tao Tao, which are still young, if they lose the battle, what will they do?"

Lin Yuanqing listened to it next to him and hurriedly said: "What are you afraid of, I heard that our guard General Chen is like a god, the last time Zhao Qi, the king of the south, was beaten back by General Chen after only two days in the city, besides, Liang Guo is 108,000 miles away from us, and there are a lot of martial arts factions such as the Wudang faction, the Tianshan Sword faction, and the Shendao Tang in the pass, they are all heroes and will not sit idly by." After speaking, he straightened his chest, as if he was one of these martial arts decency.

After listening to this, Lao Zhang smiled and patted his head, "Stinky boy, do you still have a martial arts dream? As long as there is a war, we ordinary people will suffer, those martial arts decency you said will not care if we live or die, and they usually fight and fight, this time the other party is the army of a country, I am afraid that it is a mantis arm blocking the car, there is wealth, eat at my place tonight, Yuan Qing, you go and get some wine, let's drink some." ”

Lin Yuanqing touched his head and said unconvinced: "Ying Tianhao, the head of the Tianshan Sword Sect, can fly with a sword, and take the head of the enemy general thousands of miles away, what is the little Liang Guo, hmph, I will also learn to fly with the sword in the future and be a hero." After speaking, he made a grimace at Lao Zhang, and ran out to drink.

Since that day, Lin Yuanqing will run to the city gate every day to inquire about the war, hoping to hear the heroic deeds of the heroes in his mind to protect the enemy and protect the country, but unfortunately only the refugees who are waiting for him, and in just two months, the Liang army broke six cities in a row, although those martial arts factions sent a lot of disciples to participate, but still did not resist the pace of the Liang iron hooves, heavy casualties, seeing that the Liang army is about to hit the blue and white city, the city is also a panic, many people have taken refuge out of the city, at this time the emperor even issued thirteen holy decrees, ordered the guard Chen Yi to defend the blue and white city, the imperial court sent three reinforcements are also coming, but also stabilized the hearts of most people, the people also see some hope.

On this day, Lin Yuanqing was working at the wharf, and suddenly a team of soldiers came to recruit soldiers, and many people signed up, and Lin Yuanqing also signed up with everyone. I went home at night to drink with Zhao Youcai, and talked about it: "Brother Zhao, now that the whole city is under martial law, you can't take care of the crops outside the city, the emperor's army is almost here, plus the prestige of General Chen, it is estimated that Liang Guo will have to be deflated this time, you can also sign up for conscription like me, and you can get a five-dollar silver every month, which is more cost-effective." ”

Zhao Youcai took a sip of wine and said, "Brother, I'm not afraid, brother, I'm afraid that if there are three long and two short, it will be bitter for my daughter." ”

Lin Yuanqing's eyes lit up and said: "Didn't I say it just now, the reinforcements will arrive soon, we are empty gloves white wolves this time, maybe we don't even need to go to the battlefield, the Liang army was repelled by General Chen, even if you go to the battlefield, if you are lucky, you can kill one or two of him, and then it is easy to say that you will be promoted and rewarded with silver." ”

Zhao Youcai pondered for a while and said: "... Also, when the time comes, let's stand at the back, and when we meet a lone Liang Jun, we will kill him one by one, and I will also save a dowry for Tao Tao, and I will also sign up tomorrow, anyway, you haven't told Uncle Zhang about this yet, have you?"

Lin Yuanqing spread his hands: "Do I dare to say it?!" Grandpa knows that this matter has to discount my legs, tomorrow we will leave a note for my grandfather, let him take good care of Tao Tao, let's go to report quietly, and then wait to come back with a big bag of silver to make them happy, and they will not be able to say anything at that time." ”

The two hit it off, got up early the next day and went to the army to report, the barracks were full of people, they each received silver, because the body is relatively strong, they were assigned to the "assault battalion", the assault battalion is the first time to fight with the enemy when the two armies are fighting, in order to scatter the opponent's formation, but also the most casualties, Lin Yuanqing and Zhao Youcai do not understand the military system, only feel novel, equipped with short knives, shields and armor, due to the development of iron ore mining in most of the capital, good at iron, weapons, The armor is made of pig iron, which is very heavy, and after receiving the equipment, you are notified to report to the team you belong to.

The two of them quickly found their team, and after registering at the Wu Chief's place, they let them line up, Lin Yuanqing observed the situation around him, the whole team had a total of ten people, and the others seemed to be curious about the surrounding environment to fight the tension of the war, and kept discussing the money, equipment and the upcoming war, there was no nervousness at all, it seemed that it was the first time to join the army, Lin Yuanqing also discussed with Zhao Youcai in a whisper, and suddenly a burst of shouts sounded: "Quiet!" Everyone shuddered together, turned their heads to look over, only to see that Wu Chang was wearing a dark red old armor, the armor was crisscrossed with traces left by unknown weapons, there was a scar on his face from the left ear through the nose to the right ear, his face was dark, he looked at them expressionlessly, about six feet tall stood motionless in front of them like a big mountain, what made Lin Yuanqing feel uncomfortable the most was Wu Chang's eyes, not big, but the eyes were very dark, and there was no trace of emotion when looking at them, as if he was looking at an ant, his eyes slowly crossed over everyone, when he saw Lin Yuanqing, Lin Yuanqing broke out in a cold sweat, his hand seemed to be involuntarily on the hilt of the knife, Wu Chang noticed his action, and the corners of his mouth slowly grinned, this smile made the scar on his face look more terrifying, and also made his face more hideous, he pointed at Lin Yuanqing and said, "Boy, what's your name?"

Lin Yuanqing opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but found that he didn't make a sound, so he hurriedly coughed and said, "Report to Chief Wu, my name is Lin Yuanqing." ”

Wu Chang nodded and said, "Well, your kid has good qualifications, but it doesn't seem that he has practiced martial arts." After speaking, he glanced around again, "I am your commander, my name is Hong Er, from now on, I will train you in basic combat methods, all put the tricks in the highlights, once you are on the battlefield, it is all based on your own strength, fighting is not fighting, either you die or I forget, don't have a trace of softness on the enemy, otherwise it will be you who die, okay, check your equipment, get dressed and start training!"

So Lin Yuanqing and they began intense training, in the morning on the school field for individual combat knife training, swinging, chopping, slashing, stabbing, etc., in the afternoon with other teams to conduct formation exercises, all day long down everyone was tired and fell asleep, Lin Yuanqing originally fell on the bed and didn't want to move, but the internal urgency was so strong that he had no choice but to endure the pain and get up and go to the thatched house, and after releasing the easy walk out of the thatched house, he met Hong Er, Lin Yuanqing suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Wu Chang, how can you tell that I haven't practiced martial arts?"

Hong Er glanced at him and said: "The standing posture and the way you hold the knife are not right, and then look at your hands, there is no callus at all, and you can see that you have not touched the weapon at a glance." ”

Lin Yuanqing looked suddenly enlightened, and asked again: "Then Captain Wu, you must have practiced martial arts and seen people in the world, can you tell me, where did you practice martial arts, and what is the scar on your face?"

Hong Er said impatiently: "Aren't you tired after training all day today? Then I'll increase the amount of training for you tomorrow." ”

"Tired, but I've wanted to learn martial arts since I was a child, be a hero, be a chivalrous man, what kind of sword flying, and taking things from the air, I've just heard from Mr. Storyteller, I've never seen it, and I'm very excited when I think of hearing the heroic deeds of my predecessors, and the scars on your face are left by the war?"

Hong Er was stunned for a moment after hearing this, looked at him with a complicated expression and said in a deep voice: "You said you want to be a hero? Don't have this dream, there has never been a sword flying, let alone chivalry, and those who tell stories are all lies." After saying that, he looked at the sky and continued: "My previous name was ' Hong Xiaotian', ten years ago from the Tang Sect to learn a teacher, full of enthusiasm, but also want to be a hero, rob the rich and help the poor, just heard that the southern king Zhao Qi rebelled, hurriedly summoned the brothers to come to Qinghua City to support General Chen, and when the two sides were in the melee, I was besieged by a team of soldiers, the battle is about the effect, no moves, every blow is to hurt the enemy, simple and rude, and I learned all kinds of swordsmanship against them but overstretched, suddenly fell down, a careless face was slashed. He pointed to the scar on his face, "I can't remember anything in my head after being slashed, I only vaguely remember being rescued, and most of the brothers I brought with me died, and I didn't have the face to see the master and them, so I changed my name to 'Hong Er', and then I fought a few battles with General Chen, and found that the martial arts I spent years learning were so useless, and I slowly forgot about it." ”

Lin Yuanqing was stunned as he listened, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Hong Er looked at him quietly and said, "So don't dream about it, think about what to do next after you come back from this battlefield." After speaking, he patted Lin Yuanqing's shoulder, turned around and left, and in the next two days of training, Lin Yuanqing behaved listlessly, and Hong Er only shook his head silently when he saw it in his eyes.
