Border nights are always cloudless and the moon is as bright as jade.
However, today is different from the past.
Clusters of clouds drifted in from nowhere, blocking the moonlight again and again.
The town flickered with light and darkness.
Just like in Liuhe Tower, everyone's thoughts are uncertain.
People come to watch the fun.
From being full of expectations to being intrigued.
The truth has not yet been fully revealed, but just a few appetizers made them feel anxious.
A sense of unease begins to linger in their minds.
They have to wonder whether they are also trapped in a big conspiracy and their lives are in danger at any time.
At the moment, they all held their breath and stared nervously at the handsome man with an evil smile but no trace of anger in his eyes.
Wait for him to announce the exact identities of the eighteen people in the hall.
In their opinion, all the men under General Shi Xin of the town are brave and good at fighting, and there are absolutely no cowards.
And the handsome man said it first. These eighteen people were a mysterious force with a special organization, which undoubtedly covered them with a veil full of danger.
They didn't know whether they should stay in Liuhe Tower to find out.
It's better to leave as soon as possible and pretend that you have never been to Liuhe Building to save your life.
Many people had already moved away and were about to get up and leave, but it was too late.
The handsome man picked the right moment and said word for word: "Dark, shadow, ten, eight, ride."
Yu Le knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, no one could move.
Those who have heard the name "Eighteen Shadow Riders" will definitely be shocked.
Those who have never heard of it will be locked in their seats by their damn curiosity.
Sure enough, there was silence in the hall for an instant.
Those who know it will be shocked in their hearts and speechless.
Those who don't know are secretly speechless and wait for the next words.
Xue Qinghuan blinked, her eyes wandering, as if she was trying to think of something, but to no avail.
Yu Le said: "Master Xue Pavilion, does it seem like you have heard it somewhere?"
Xue Qinghuan did not deny it and said: "It is true, but in Xue's impression, the Eighteen Shadow Cavalry seems to be a figure in the world. Now that I know that he is actually the Tiger and Wolf Division under General Shi, I am a little surprised."
Yu Le said: "It's no wonder Master Snow Pavilion. If he wasn't someone who travels around the southwest all year round, he probably wouldn't have heard anything about the Eighteen Shadow Riders."
"It seems that the Eighteen Shadow Riders only exist in the shadows." Xue Qinghuan held her chin, trying to figure out the meaning behind Yu Le's words, "Now that we have talked about this, Mr. Yu might as well tell Xue What is the background of the Eighteen Shadow Riders?"
Xue Qinghuan has long been a public representative. Although he claims to be answering questions for himself, in fact, as long as no one raises objections to the questions he raises, he represents everyone's opinions.
Yu Le is not a stupid person after all.
When everyone was in high spirits, he was the one who caused everyone's trouble, and then with Xue Qinghuan's analysis, he successfully diverted the trouble away.
When everyone is extremely anxious, if they continue to make secrets, they will undoubtedly completely annoy everyone.
For the current plan, it is better to open up rather than block. It is best to break the cracks that have appeared in everyone's psychological defense and let everyone direct their anger at Luo Piaoling.
Therefore, Yu Le replied simply: "It is not difficult to introduce such a tiger and wolf army that has never suffered a defeat, but it will take a lot of words. There is a way for you to understand the Shadow Eighteen in a few words. Have a clear understanding of riding.”
Xue Qinghuan said: "Then I will listen attentively."
Yu Le said: "The Master of Snow Pavilion doesn't know much about the Eighteen Shadow Cavalry, but he must be familiar with the 'Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun', right?"
Xue Qinghuan's eyes flashed, and she was slightly surprised and said: "Young master Yu, are you talking about the legendary Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry founded by Sui Hou?!"
Yu Le said: "Master Xue Pavilion should understand that some things can be passed down orally for thousands of years and are not just legends."
Xue Qinghuan said: "It is rumored that the territory of Zhongzhou was far smaller than it is now, but the Sui Marquis who guarded the northeast was a generation of iron-blooded generals. He not only guarded the northeastern border for Zhongzhou, but also defeated Lihan with only three thousand troops. The country has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and makes them submit to Zhongzhou."
Yu Le said: "Since the Master of the Snow Pavilion has heard about this past incident, he must also know the details about Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry."
Xue Qinghuan said: "They are an elite cavalry brought out by the Sui Marquis. They wear cold clothes, carry scimitars on their waists, wear barbarian riding boots, and carry large bows. They move around the desert grasslands and the barbarian tribes in the Northeast all year round. . Their appearance means death, and killing to stop war is their purpose. They also maintain the temporary tranquility of the border area through this black method."
Yu Le said: "It's a pity that the Zhongzhou area is rich in land and products, which attracts foreign barbarians from all over the world. We can prevent it for a while, but not for a lifetime."
Xue Qinghuan said: "So, Lihan State carefully planned and planned for ten years before raising its troops to launch an invasion of the northeastern border of Zhongzhou."
Yu Le said: "Lihan Kingdom knows very well that Zhongzhou is very powerful. If it cannot attack the city in a short period of time, it will be difficult to achieve anything after Zhongzhou reacts. Therefore, it leads five thousand elite soldiers to march five hundred miles in secret every day. They cannot camp and cannot do anything. Set up camp and launch a surprise attack when the last five hundred miles are left."
Xue Qinghuan said: "As everyone knows, the Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yanyun have detected these secret actions of Lihan Kingdom in advance."
Yu Le said: "However, they did not have enough time to go back and report the news, so they decided to use the abilities and experience of eighteen people to resolve the attack of five thousand enemy troops."
Xue Qinghuan said: "Five thousand elite soldiers of the Lihan Kingdom were fooled around by eighteen people in three days and three nights, and thousands of them were killed or injured. It was during this period that there was a lot of commotion, which alerted Sui Hou. , led his troops out of the city and killed or captured the remaining less than 4,000 Lihan soldiers."
Yu Le said: "Then the Marquis of Sui was ordered to go to Lihan Kingdom, with Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry as the vanguard, and thousands of cavalry following up, and defeated Lihan again. In this battle, Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry marched alone into the hinterland of Lihan Kingdom, Kill all the men, women, and children in the villages along the road, leaving no one alive. Because of these two deeds, the Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yanyun became famous and were regarded as masters of death."
Between the words of the two, the "Master of Death" from thousands of years ago seemed to appear in front of everyone again, making people feel fearful.
Xue Qinghuan took a deep breath, still in disbelief, and said: "Aren't these false?"
Yu Le said: "The Sui Dynasty is not fake, the Yanyun Eighteen Riders are not fake, and these deeds are not fake."
Xue Qinghuan shook her head, knowing that there was not much meaning in pursuing whether what happened thousands of years ago was true.
The focus has to go back to the Eighteen Shadow Riders.
Yanyun's Eighteen Riders are famous for their ferocity, and the Eighteen Shadow Riders are expected to follow suit.
But his actions are secretive and few people hear about them.
If the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun are really as scary as the legend says, what about the Eighteen Cavalry of Shadow?
What "great achievements" did they have?
Xue Qinghuan's eyes stayed on the raven.
His hands were clenched tightly, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his face looked slightly pained, as if he didn't want to recall the past.
Xue Qinghuan did not ask, but Yu Le said directly: "Although the Eighteen Shadow Cavalry are not as outstanding as the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, they were based on the template of the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry when they were born. Trained.”
Yu Le seemed to think of something he thought was extremely interesting, and a smile emerged from the corner of his mouth, saying: "They are orphans who have been exiled to death. They were gathered together and imprisoned in a place ten feet square. These children, in the beginning, It’s not just eighteen people, but hundreds of people.”
Xue Qinghuan saw that the raven had closed its eyes and clenched its teeth, so she asked: "And the food given to them every day is less than a hundred people."
Yu Le laughed out loud and said: "That's right. At first, the children still had good intentions and shared some food with each other so that everyone could survive."
Unknowingly, Xue Qinghuan also clenched her fists and said: "After all, life like this cannot last forever."
Yu Le said: "In less than a month, out of hundreds of children, only the eighteen with the strongest desire to survive will be left."
Although Yu Le explained it simply, Xue Qinghuan could still imagine how cruel and contrary to the law of nature this process must be.
He had to close his eyes to resist the urge to rush up and give Yu Le a good beating, and asked, "What happened next?"
Yu Le said: "Later, they were first sent to those Jianghu sects to learn skills. After they grew up, they went to the barracks to hone their skills. Then they were taken to the palace for secret training, and finally they were sent to General Shi Xinshi for training."
Xue Qinghuan said: "It is conceivable that after such devilish training, the team is indeed a team that combines martial arts skills, strict discipline, and strong tactical execution."
Yu Le said: "Master Xue Pavilion has seen it very clearly. Speaking of the war between barbarians from outside Zhongzhou more than ten years ago, although the Japanese in the east and the Wala people in the north were the main ones, the southwest border was not calm. There were many barbarians ready to make a move. Waiting for the opportunity. At that time, it was the Eighteen Shadow Cavalry who descended from the sky and annihilated Luohuang. The thousands of light cavalry from the Weinan tribe suddenly launched an attack, which bought enough time for General Shi to deploy defenses in the southwest."
Xue Qinghuan said: "So, Brother Raven and others are really heroes of Zhongzhou."
After saying that, Xue Qinghuan stood up, bowed respectfully to Raven and the others, and then sat down alone.
Raven and the others were stunned when they saw this. Before they could recover, they heard Yu Le slowly say: "They can be called heroes, but once they are used by traitors, wouldn't they be weapons that bring harm to the world?" ()
