The most difficult thing to kill in the world is time.
The best thing in the world to spend is time.
The spring breeze was warm, and I, after a long journey, sat alone on Laotou Mountain, looking south at Lingyuan City.
At this moment, I didn't outline my ambitions, nor did I plan for the world, nor did I feel emotional about the situation. I only did one thing, dazed!
A.D., the spring breeze of Yisi Snake Year, mixed with the fresh smell of new green grass, mixed with the moist smell of spring water, mixed with the thick smell of sweat from the training of sergeants in Hirata at the foot of Laotou Mountain, all together lifted my thoughts and sorrows. .
Time is not forgiving, and in the blink of an eye, the Battle of Fuling Mountain was already a long, long time ago.
Sitting alone and observing my mind when I was quiet, I asked myself, "If God wants to harm others, he must first boast of small blessings." If Jiang Ruisheng hadn't been arrogant, complacent and careless, the corpse lying under Fuling Mountain should be the same as mine. Tools!
In the blink of an eye, a year and a half have passed since the Battle of Fulingshan, in which nearly 7,000 people were killed. The war brought not only trauma, but also a peaceful and beautiful life for the people of Huaxing County.
However, the price of a good life is that thousands of families have lost their backbone, and from now on women can only farm and weave;
It's just that the price of a good life is that Wangnan Temple has several thousand more memorial tablets. I can no longer recall the names and origins of many people, so they can only be collectively called Hirata Yishi;
However, the price of a good life is that I have become cold-blooded after seeing life and death.
The dead are like this, and the pitiful bones are buried in the solitary grave, trying to bring new trends to the world.
My name is Liu Yi. This year, I am sixteen years old.
The year of the crown is still four years away!
...
After this battle back then, I, General Pingtian, had accomplished something, and gained a lot of popularity in the five counties and even the entire Quzhou.
Your Majesty did not keep us waiting for too long. After the Battle of Fulingshan, we had just breathed a sigh of relief in the Pingtian Military Camp at the foot of Laotou Mountain. His Majesty's edict of reward followed us. Everything seemed to have been calculated and precise. And not obtrusive at all.
After all, I am a little-known boy. Because of Hirata's meritorious service, I was awarded the title of Lingyuanbo and received a bounty of ten thousand taels. I continued to perform the duties of General Hirata. Listening to the meaning behind the words, Hirata's army was saved. , As for what the Pingtian Army should do next, as Uncle Lingyuan and General Pingtian, I did not ask anything.
Everything is planned, you don’t know it now, maybe it’s not the right time yet.
As for what form the Pingtian Army will take in the future, the Emperor did not explain at that time, but the supply of food, grass and baggage was as usual, and I could only ask the soldiers to be in good shape and ready for war at any time.
As for the next enemy, I think it should be Jiang Feng!
During the battle at Fuling Mountain, I killed his only son, which has forged an ever-lasting personal feud. As the largest and most powerful family in Quzhou, the Jiang family occupied 10,000 acres in Quzhou for two days. Sooner or later, it will be a scourge for the empire. , Pingtian Army is in charge of Pingtian, and the Jiang family led by Jiang Feng is the gap that Pingtian Army must be happy to get out of Lingyuan and go to the world. Therefore, the Jiang family and the Pingtian Army led by me will have a battle within a few years.
For a year, one thought has been lingering in my mind: If I kill you Jiang Feng, our Hirata Army will become famous all over the world!

Su Daoyun said that Zhang, Sang Zhi, Chai Rong, and Chailing were the four people who could not die. Finally, two of them died on the battlefield of Fuling Mountain. At the end of the canonization edict, His Majesty specially wrote a dense line of small characters, to the effect that "four people" The merits and demerits are balanced, and the past is forgotten, and he can still serve in the Hirata army.
Upon hearing the news, Chai Ling and Zhang showed no joy on their faces. They carried two jars of wine and sat in Wangbei Temple for the whole day. I could guess what they were thinking. Later, I pretended to be confused and asked Chai Ling why he was still unhappy.
"The young general is so smart, why do you need me to tell him personally?"
Chai Ling smiled calmly and said, "The words "equal merits and demerits" are far from the result that my dead brother and I want. We were already wronged, so why should we ask for "equal merits and demerits"? What we want is for the truth to come out '!"
I still remember that after Chai Ling said these words, the courtyard under the sun suddenly seemed to be filled with murderous intent. Chai Ling's eyes were bloodshot and he said to me, "Young general, don't worry, sooner or later I will find you." The evidence will make the Sun family completely defeated, blood for blood!"
I said softly, "Captain Su, don't worry. The truth may be late, but it will definitely not be absent."
Chai Ling stared at me and said seriously, "The Sun family has dominated the northern border for many years, and its strength is comparable to that of the Jiang family in Quzhou. If Ruo Mo is going to verify the facts of that year, on the day of a military confrontation with the Sun family, please ask me The general fulfills the promise made by the blacksmith that day and provides full assistance.”
I pursed my lips and said nothing. I just patted Chai Ling on the shoulder and turned to leave.
We have experienced life and death together on the battlefield and have shown sincerity. Chai Ling has already gained my trust.
I believe what he says, and I clean up his grievances.
This is my basic creed as a person and something I rely on to build my reputation. It’s called integrity.
After the Battle of Fulingshan, Wang Dali and Zhou Fu had not changed much. One spent all day with a silly voice and studied the art of war, while the other was active and active every day, honing his martial arts, and entered the realm of pushing monuments. The two of them put all their energy and spirit into each other. He spent it on recharging his energy and trying to get enough energy to compete.
Over time, the whole Hirata Army has developed a good atmosphere of fighting for military achievements and carrying red flags.
The officers and soldiers actually competed for honors, which naturally made me happy.
According to my father's words, an army without any banditry is like a wolf without claws. It cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered on the battlefield. Therefore, I hope that the Hirata Army will be a pack of wolves that travel thousands of miles to eat meat, rather than a pack of dogs that travel thousands of miles to eat shit.
As for the character and temperament of these people, I borrowed a hen to lay eggs and opened a study class in my father's Zigui Academy. As long as he is a centurion or above Hirata Army officer, he must spend two days every month to go to the academy to listen to his father By giving lectures, I believe that over time, the officers of the Hirata Army will grow into pillars of the country.
My most knowledgeable brother, Li Erniu, showed his sharpness after this battle. With several decent commands on the battlefield, he gained the respect and love of the soldiers. Oddly enough, although Erniu Pingtian doesn't show off the mountains and water, giving people the feeling of an old scalper plowing the fields, he always gives me a feeling of great wisdom and foolishness. He seems to be completely unaware of everything that is happening around him. He felt that he was still studying the art of war and practicing battle formations every day, just like before.
I think: Others are
Showing his strength, he may be hiding his clumsiness.
That kid Guo Yizhi was extremely talented. He would go to Zigui's school whenever he had something to do, and he would stay in his father's small room for a long time. Over time, this kid actually became self-taught without any teacher, and gathered the skills of hundreds of schools of literature. , created a set of writing style between regular script and cursive script, which was euphemistically called "zhi style". This kind of writing style, which is half straight and half straight, half cursive and not cursive, was actually quite popular among Huaxing scholars. Everyone was competing for his popularity, and his worth also rose accordingly.
Guo Yizhi later took advantage and acted like a good boy, and actually made a bold statement: Twenty years from now, I should have a place in the world of literary circles.
At that time, we also mocked him: He was carrying a big knife in his trouser pocket.
Who would have thought that this seemingly unattainable joke in childhood would actually come true twenty years later!
Fang, who was supposed to be an unparalleled lobbyist or eloquent in the future, actually stopped a lot after the war. His crossbow-like mouth no longer went around 'making trouble', and instead he studied "Tai Gong's Art of War". According to his words Said: No matter how much you talk, you can't reach the level of Su Qin and Zhang Yi. It's better to study military books and be his little soldier to be more comfortable.
But within a few days, he still gave up his plan to become a master of military science, and honestly learned the debating skills of famous experts. According to his words: I don’t have the brain to study the art of war! () ()
With Boss Xia as the main leader, Mou's siblings, Huangfu Lu, and Bei Youwan as assistants, Wangnanju is a peaceful group. Wangnan Tower and Wangnan Brocade Village are full of gold and wealth. They are the most powerful logistics for our Pingtian Army. Assure.
In his spare time, boss Xia Qingxia seized the business opportunity and sent mohua seeds to
I boarded some soldiers from the Pingtian Army who were slightly disabled due to the battle, and found a place with lush forests and verdant water and grass in the lower reaches of the Daling River. I found a good and auspicious day to break ground and prepare to open a Wangnan fishery. It is said that in my year I traveled to five counties alone before and not long before I returned today, the Wangnan Fishing Ground had just opened. It won't be long before this is another good business that makes money every day.
Among the old friends, the disfigured Liu Xingyin shined brightly in the Battle of Fuling Mountain. I was not stingy with honors and directly gave him the post of school captain vacated by Sang Zhi who died in the battle. Chai Ling is temperate. It seems that this boy is born to fight. He can handle all battle formations with ease.
The old man is leaving on a crane, and the new man will naturally come. After the Battle of Fulingshan, the world was shaken. Some people with lofty ideals took a fancy to the sign of our Pingtian Army and rushed to defect. Among them, the two who surprised me the most were Chang Chu and Huang Biao.
The two of them were both civil and military. Chang Chu was the son of Chang Yi, the governor of Jiangning County, Fengzhou, who was massacred by the Baili clan. Chang Chu studied with his uncle in Wuling County, and was not in the clan when the Chang family was massacred. , so he escaped a disaster. This man was knowledgeable, kind-hearted, and about the same age as us. After meeting him, we had a pleasant chat. After confirming his talent, I killed him directly. In order to supervise the army, Li Erniu took the place of Chai Rong who died in the battle and became the chief of the division.
As for this yellow form, its background is even bigger!
According to what he said, he was a descendant of Huang Zhong, one of the five tiger generals of Emperor Zhaolie. But at that time, I thought carefully that Huang Zhong’s only son Huang Xu died young and did not leave any trace.
For posterity, this brother may have wanted to use this gimmick to prop up the scene for himself. But regardless of whether Huang Biao is a famous general or not, his martial arts in the armor-removing realm cannot be said to be alarming. A carved bow is fully drawn, and the arrows are not missed. In addition, Huang Biao is quite upright. After thinking about it again, I decided to let him go. He succeeded Liu Xingyin and became Zhou Fu's Zhonglang Guard Chief. Both of them had fiery tempers. They jumped up and down all day long, and the general camp was extremely heated.
Is it high mountains and flowing water or Liu Bang and Lu Wan? I'll wait and see!
After much deliberation, after the Battle of Fulingshan and before leaving, this was all he did.
I remember that in the year of Xuanying, my father once said to me, "A gentleman must learn to be cautious about being alone." I didn't know the true meaning at that time. After settling everything, I rode alone on my horse and visited the five counties again. I lived on the road for a year and returned today.
The wind in Laotou Mountain gradually diluted my homesickness. I touched the hard stubble on my beard and smiled softly: I don’t know when my Yingcheng brother will be able to pass the state of broken city!
Young people don’t know how sad the years are!
Even I have forgotten which snowfall the winter before last blew me out of Lingyuan City.
After the Battle of Fulingshan, I felt deeply confused and couldn't calm down for a long time. My father suggested that I go back to the Five Counties and Pingtian Road. I set off without even thinking about it.
The Sai Red Rabbit held a big radish in its mouth, and I rode the Sai Red Rabbit. The two of us wandered past the Pingtian Camp, past Laotou Mountain, past the Lingyuan Mountains, and all the way to Shuiheguan.
I deliberately found a sunny morning to welcome the winter pines and step on the sheep intestines, and climbed the steps along the old road of Shuiheguan.
In the groggy pine forest, Li Yanfeng was still waving his sweeper at the gate of the temple as before.
But, Li Yanfeng was obviously much taller, and the broom danced more powerfully in his hands.
Those cute and cute civet cats are still playing happily among the piles of leaves. However, the cats have changed from three to many of different sizes. It is obvious that they are bullying the whole family together. 'Li Yanfeng is here!
I leaned against an old pine, not daring or wanting to disturb the tranquility of the moment.
This kind of tranquility belongs to Li Yanfeng and to me at that time.
The mountains are quiet, the people are empty, and the clouds are lonely. If you stay in this kind of scenery for a moment, how can you think of competing for world fame?
Li Yanfeng, who was wearing a green robe with cloud shoes and one eye and one arm, was still very good-tempered. When the cats destroyed the pine pile, he slowly gathered them together again with the broom until the cats lost their interest and dispersed. Please sweep away the pine and snow in front of you.
Seeing that Li Yanfeng had noticed me, I stepped forward without any hesitation, looked at each other, and laughed while holding hands.
I cupped my hands deeply and said with a smile, "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for several years, how come we have only just met? Hahaha!"
In the past two years in Pingtian, I have troubled people a lot. I have never given up my desire to take this Taoist alchemy wizard under my command. Although I have not met each other in recent years, I have always exchanged letters, although Li Yanfeng did not accept my invitation. , but maintained close contact with each other, and also gave me strong support on some things.
Especially in dealing with the Situ family's yin-yang zombie technique, Li Yanfeng was of great help. If the fire array taught by Li Yanfeng hadn't delayed the attack rhythm of Situ Xiangtian's zombie army, the grass on his grave would have been three feet high today.
Thinking of this, I arched
The hands that went down and the waist that bent down fell even deeper!
When Li Yanfeng saw me, he couldn't hide his joy. He threw down the broom and helped me up. He smiled like a spring breeze, "Haha! I said why is there purple air coming from the south today? It turns out that there are distinguished guests visiting. Come, come, let me take a look. !”
After saying that, Li Yanfeng looked me up and down, beaming with joy, and said, "Brother, you are filled with immortal energy and heavenly purple energy. It seems that you must have encountered a great opportunity in the past two years!"
"Oh? Does Brother Li still know the art of looking at Qi?" I asked doubtfully.
"No!" Li Yanfeng smiled stupidly and said with squinted eyes, "I guess, if Liu Pingtian, no, it should be called General Liu! If General Liu doesn't mix well, how can anyone come to my three acres of land? The land is divided! Haha!"
Seeing the statue of Laojun in the distance being restored, I felt filled with emotion: Back then, the great hero Han Li showed his power here twice, but now, although the objects are still there, the people are no longer there, and the original living people have all remained in the books. inside. If he were still alive, I would definitely ask him: Does a person's life deserve it, or is it long-lasting?
I smiled bitterly and shook my head. I am afraid I will have to go down and ask him for this answer myself a hundred years later!
Seeing the change in my expression, Li Yanfeng was afraid that he had guessed what I was thinking. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since you don't want to get emotional about the scene, why don't you and I have a little talk here?"
I secretly admired Li Yanfeng's keen observation of words, so I randomly picked up a step, sat down, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "Recently, I always feel the smell of blood in my nose. When I was feeling depressed, I suddenly wanted to go out for a walk alone, so I took him with me. Sai Chitu is here!"
Li Yanfeng sits
When he came to my side, he chuckled at me, "The wind in Fuling Mountain is so strong that it actually blew into Lingyuan City!"
"You know everything?"
Li Yanfeng suddenly stood up, cleared his throat, put his left hand on his hips, and pointed south with his right hand. His voice was high and sharp, like a storyteller shouting, "Look at that day, when the mountains are covered in heavy fog, and the other troops suddenly arrive, beating drums and fighting. The masters came out one after another, and the red sun, blood, and moon were directly killing the sky and the earth, making the Jiangmen lackeys cry like ghosts and wolves howling to the ground. It is truly the unparalleled Pingtian order in the world, suppressing thieves and punishing evil, what a good boy! 'How about it? I can learn it, right? I can tell you, this is the most popular joke in the entire Zhangwu County. Almost all the storytellers in the streets are telling your Hirata anecdotes. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are famous!"
I smiled bitterly, "The book says it's easy. Brother Li, do you know how many people died in the battle at Fuling Mountain?"
Thinking of Fuling Mountain that day, the smell of blood became a little stronger in my nose.
