This year is the sixth year that Zhu Ying has been trapped in the swamp of Beiyanze, and this unexpected winter snow hit the border before late autumn elsewhere.
Zhu Ying had an unpleasant temper because he was abandoned by his parents when he was young, so he went to work in his uncle's house. His uncle was a snobbery, and his job was to drive horses for the wealthy people of the Yuan Dynasty. After many years, he became He also has a small reputation, and the business of this horse farm is quite prosperous, but he has actually been immersed in the business field for many years, and he is quite mercenary. Zhu Ying was admitted to the family for no reason. Since food, clothing, housing and transportation cost a lot of money, and she was not from the family, she had to be beaten and scolded a lot. Therefore, she had a gloomy complexion and was taciturn since she was a child.
Whenever there were people he didn't know very well, Zhu Ying would always say a few words, saying something that was very unpleasant to listen to. Therefore, even though he was outside the border gate of Beiyanze and had bravely killed many monsters, although he had never entered the spiritual practice, his spear and stick skills were indeed among the ordinary martial arts. The heavy responsibility of the newcomers at Beiyanze Border is also placed on Zhu Ying's shoulders.
As time goes by, others also know that Zhu Ying has had such an unpleasant temperament since he was a child, and few people have ever argued with Zhu Ying. After all, he is still a kind person, and at most he can barely be considered difficult to get along with. Therefore, Zhu Ying would often say a few words that would dampen the interest of others, so he would not argue with him, but let him speak briefly, which was a pleasure.
However, Yun Yiliang, Liu Qing and others all valued Zhu Ying's words very much. Just the fact that the front line received the food and grass baggage shipped from Qi Qi, others were rarely happy, but they never got involved in this. Zhu Yingyin, who was waiting for something to do, sneered and said that his own safety could not be left in the hands of others. If the emperor of Shangqi could really provide an endless supply of money, food and supplies outside Beiyanze Pass, then I am afraid that this master would be in trouble in the future. To be remonstrated by the courtiers, in the final analysis, to unite the world, it is by no means the emperor's family, and the constraints are too heavy, so it is better not to be happy so early.
As Zhu Ying said, after the prince came to Beiyanze, the supplies of weapons and weapons sent by Qi had been reduced by half, and even the food and money were cut again and again. Beiyanze was once again unable to make ends meet. In such a situation, Zhu Ying is highly regarded by several people just because of his extremely brilliant vision. Now, Zhu Ying is often invited to the commander's tent to talk and listen to some suggestions.
No one knows where Zhu Ying learned his skills with a gun and stick, and no one knows how this master who was supposed to make a big name in the world came to Beiyanze on his own. Whether it was a violation of the law, or whether he really had such ambitions to be the first in the world, Zhu Ying was too lazy to say more, and did not want to say where he came from. In such a hurry, he became an old soldier in Beiyanze, guarding him all day long. Outside the Beiyanze Pass in the bone-chilling cold, I looked at the boundless swamp in silence and coldness.
Some people say that Zhu Ying may have committed a serious crime that should be punished, or he may have killed many people before entering Yanze Pass in the north. Some people once said that this person was a rare gun and stick instructor in the army, and he died after that. Knowing that he had offended a general in the army, he came to Beiyanze to avoid being chased and intercepted. Zhu Ying never bothered to argue against such rumors. Even if she happened to meet others discussing the matter, she would just lower her stinking knife-handled face and not argue at all. ..
First it suddenly cleared up for three or two days, and then there was snow falling all over the place. There was something strange about the sky. It was said that we should be more vigilant no matter what, but based on Qingpingjun's estimation over the years, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and there had never been any monster attacks. There is a precedent, but behind this is not necessarily a good thing. The monsters outside Beiyanze seem to be getting smarter every year. From the beginning, they only knew how to rush into the city recklessly, and forced themselves to the city gate with their majestic numbers. The monster-like creatures came together under the cover of the sky to cover up the attack, and now they actually have some tactics. Although they are not familiar with the art of war, at first glance, the front line of the monster tide has already taken shape.
It has been a long time since the monsters all crossed the Beiyanze Border Pass last time. There were so many generals and soldiers who died outside the Beiyanze Pass. It is for this reason that Lord Qingping set up more than fifty guards. , choose those with very good eyesight. Whenever the demon tide breaks through, these fifty or so people will be asked to carefully watch the monster formations. Among them is Zhu Ying, who can detect some clues from the changes in the demon tide. . When monsters land on the beach, ten will form an army, and hundreds will form a formation. They choose the weakest defense area outside the pass. Whenever the monster tide rolls, they must rely on their own strength.
The monster is so majestic that it can stop the cultivators. It is like an earth dragon rolling over beside the embankment, raising smoke and dust, covering the sky and hiding the sun. It is most difficult to resist. Even if this wave of monsters is fought back, it will still be possible. There were countless casualties.
Even if this kind of tactics is not necessarily unpredictable, it can still keep the number of monsters in an endless stream. Instead of the arrogant and unreasonable physical tricks, the soldiers in Bei Yanze have suffered more casualties, and in the past two years, every time After stopping the monsters from crossing the barrier, the number of casualties was not small, and the situation was getting worse. Although Liu Qing's formation alleviated the problem a lot, it was still a stubborn problem in the minds of everyone in Qing Pingjun.
The monsters are rough-skinned and thick-flesh, and there is an endless supply of them. However, there is only one Liu Qing who is proficient in formations and has a high state of mind.
Even though Liu Qing would always turn pale after a war and say that he didn't need to worry about himself, the other people's state was not much inferior. It can be seen that he was reluctant. There are those who have never entered the spiritual practice, but they can also kill monsters. It is because these masters in the spiritual practice have defended the most dangerous 90% of the threats for many soldiers and soldiers in Beiyanze. However, it has been difficult for many years, even for Jiang Banlang. The other masters also almost lost an arm, so they can naturally see how dangerous the situation is. It is no less than reaching for the knife with bare feet and lying on the fire with bare arms.
From the outside of Bei Yanze, the torches at the top of the city are as small as beans, but these bean-like flames are shaking all day long, but they have been guarding the entire human world for many years, and they are shaking more and more steadily.
Above the city is almost the area where these experts from outside the customs often visit.
Later, Liu Qing and Jiang Banlang never figured out the mystery behind it. Qingpingjun cherished words like gold and refused to talk to others, but Yun Yiliang was really bothered by Jiang Banlang's questioning, and in the end it was Tell the whole story.
Back then, when Lord Qingping's waist and shoulders were much straighter than they are today, Tongyun Yiliang and several others would often sit at the top of the city to drink. It was rare in the army for people to drink happily, so this greedy thing was not a problem. It is really difficult to understand. Lian Yun Yiliang, a patron who is not a greedy drinker, often has to endure the raging alcohol bug due to the cold weather all day long. When there is really no choice, he and Qing Pingjun together with several Friends, they would go to the top of the city together and brag for a long time, or exchange fists and kicks. This had been the case for many years.
Someone once talked and laughed, pointing to the shore of Beiyanze, saying that if you and I follow, we will probably die outside this pass. I don’t know what year or month, and I don’t know how many good years we can still live. But it’s already over. They died in the demonic tide in front of several masters. It might not take many years to come. Those who were punching and bragging on the city wall might not be able to survive.
From then on, the surviving people stood on the top of the city and gazed at the deceased.
Yun Yiliang often said that whenever he saw the outside of Beiyanze Pass, he felt that in addition to looking at the tide of monsters, he could also clearly see those old acquaintances. The people outside Beiyanze Pass were constantly building friendships. But they kept sending away some new and old friends. The newcomers who had just stepped into Beiyanze for less than a few days were disemboweled by monsters and could not be saved. The shrewd and slippery old soldiers outside the border knew how to save their lives. He still often blocks the claws, claws, scales and thorns of monsters for others, sometimes with weapons, sometimes with his body.
Although many years have passed, the two of them, Qing Pingjun, can always vaguely see the traces of their old friend on the embankment, and these traces will only increase in number and never disappear. People who are alive always have to look forward. Almost countless people are willing to use these words to persuade others, but when it comes to the situation of Qing Pingjun and the two of them, there is really no chance of winning. Being lonely and cold, with thin shoulders, it is difficult to support this Beiyanze. I can afford good things, but even disasters are common. How dare you even think about winning and returning in the future?
During the drinking season, Mr. Qingping had rarely had more than a few drinks recently. When he talked a lot, he once jokingly said that he was always on tenterhooks at night and never dared to close his eyes to rest. He could only keep his eyes wide open, which made other people feel uncomfortable when they saw him. It's quite scary, but I never knew the origin of this disease. It's not just the fear of monsters all day long, but every time I close my eyes and have no thoughts in the mourning platform, I can always see countless old friends walking back and forth like a lantern, and there are old people. Some are young, some are tall and short, some are fat and thin.
Liu Qing pushed aside the complicated files piled up between the desks and pressed her eyebrows with one hand. She always felt that the alcohol bug seemed to be ups and downs, and there was always a hidden tendency to cause trouble. She had to put on her thick clothes and walked out slowly.
, called Zhu Ying, who was not far away, and climbed to the top of the city together, intending to share the remaining half pot of Shaodao wine.
This wine is the favorite of those who are on the battlefield. Only by drinking too much can their whole body be like a sword. After being washed clean by the strong wine, they can hold on to their thoughts and face the battlefield where flesh and blood turn to mud. And this north Compared with the people in the marching army, the people in the smoke can't see the dawn. The dark night outside the pass seems to have existed forever.
However, it was rare for Zhu Ying to show joy today.
Outside Beiyanze Pass, Zhu Ying has her own family. She is counting the days, and it is almost time to give birth to an heir. Therefore, even Zhu Ying's gloomy face cannot suppress this kind of joy. It is rare. He took the half bottle of wine from the scholar's hand and drank it comfortably into his throat.
