Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde have been friends since childhood, but their identities are slightly different.
Shi Wentai came from a poor family and learned martial arts since he was a child. Chi Jingde, on the other hand, came from a poor family.
Although Shi Wentai is lonely at home, he still has ways to take care of the family and the children.
Chi Jingde is different. He is already twenty-five years old, but he is still alone, and his mother is very old at home.
Although he wanted to go north to Yongzhou with his friend Shi Wentai, join the army of Zhou Yi, and conquer the Huns in the north to make great achievements, he could not let go of his concern for his mother.
Since Shi Wentai took the initiative to go north to Yongzhou to join the army, many people in Xuanwei City who wanted to make contributions followed Shi Wentai's example of bidding farewell to their families and heading to the North.
Even in Chi Jingde's village, there were several men as old as him who went to Yongzhou together.
His good friend Shi Wentai has been away for three days. During these days, Chi Jingde was doing things in the blacksmith shop in a hazy manner and often made mistakes.
If it weren't for Chi Jingde's strength, the old blacksmith would have kicked Chi Jingde out of his blacksmith shop.
Chi Jingde's mother, Chi Liu, also saw the changes in her son over the years.
Chi Jingde's mother, Chi Liu, knew that she had hindered her son, preventing him from going north to fight against the Huns with his friend Shi Wentai and make contributions.
Chi Jingde's mother, Chi Liu, was very touched by this.
From this day on, Mrs. Chi Liu began to search for rags and rags at home, and began to sew robes for her son.
After working hard for several days and nights, Chi Jingde, who was very nervous, finally realized it late at night.
Chi Jingde asked doubtfully: "Mom, it's already late at night. What have you been mending these past few days?"
When Mrs. Chi Liu finished sewing the last stitch, she patted her son who was lying on his side on the bed and said, "My son, please get up and try on the robe that my mother made for you!"
After Chi Jingde heard this, he jumped up excitedly and tried on the robe his mother had sewn for him.
Although this shirt was made of rags and rags of different colors and looked like a tattered beggar, Chi Jingde felt extremely happy wearing it.
Chi Liu looked at the suit of clothes that fit her perfectly, her face filled with joy, and said, "Okay, okay, as long as it fits, it just fits!"
"My son, put on the battle robe that my mother made for you. I will fight bravely on the battlefield in the future!"
Chi Jingde couldn't help but be stunned, quickly took off his shirt, knelt in front of his mother and said: "Mother, my child is not going anywhere, and I still have to serve you!"
"My mother, I'm not that old yet. If you, a big man, don't go to the frontier to make contributions, you only know how to die in the countryside, what's the point? I heard Liu Ji, the head of the pavilion in the village, said that the prefect of Yongzhou General Jian Tiance is a hero of the highest rank in the world. He twice repelled hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu and Khitan invaders, and protected our people in Dachen from being plundered."
"My mother and your dead father also came here to Xuanwei because of the war decades ago. They also know how cruel the aliens are. If my son can contribute his part to General Zhou and kill him, Several foreigners, even if they die for their mother, they will have a peaceful rest!"
Chi Jingde was still kneeling on the ground, very confused and helpless. At this moment, he still couldn't trust his old mother.
Chi Liu also saw her son's hesitation, and said: "I also asked Liu Ji, the director of the pavilion, and he said that if someone in the family joins the army, the family can be exempted from a lot of taxes. Your mother, I can also go to the city to pick up some You can completely support yourself through needlework.”
After Chi Jingde heard this, he couldn't stop crying. He quickly kowtowed to his mother three times and promised: "Don't worry, mother, I will go to Yongzhou to join the army. I will definitely kill more Xiongnu and make great achievements. In the future, I will make my mother a marquis." May you live a prosperous life."
Chi Liu just smiled knowingly. At this moment, she did not expect her son to make any achievements, she only hoped that he would come back peacefully from the battlefield.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Chi Jingde headed north with more than ten days of dry food and iron bars on credit from the blacksmith shop.
After walking north for three days, when Chi Jingde came to a mountain road, a luxurious carriage suddenly drove towards him.
A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks on the carriage shouted in panic: "Help me, man, help me, man, there are thieves chasing me behind!"
Chi Jingde took a closer look, and sure enough, there were five people behind the carriage, each riding a thin horse, chasing the people on the carriage.
Chi Jingde, who already lacked means of transportation, immediately decided to take action, stop the pursuers from behind, and thought of snatching their horses as a means of transportation.
After the carriage passed by, Chi Jingde immediately dragged the iron rod diagonally to block the road.
The people who were chasing after him felt that they had encountered a brainless person, so they immediately came to kill him.
Yang Xiu, who was on the carriage, looked back and saw the big black man waving the iron rod five times and knocking off the thieves who were chasing him.
Seeing how brave this man was, Yang Xiu immediately asked the driver to stop the carriage, got out of the carriage and went to express his thanks.
"Thank you so much for this brave man coming to the rescue. I'm very grateful, Yang Xiu!"
But Chi Jingde waved his hand indifferently, just minding his own business choosing the strongest horse among the five horses.
At this time, another burst of smoke and dust was set off not far away, and dozens of men riding tall horses came towards Chi Jingde and Yang Xiu.
When Chi Jingde saw it, he felt something was wrong. He immediately got on his horse, and at the same time, he slipped Yang Xiudi onto the horse and said, "Oh my! Good guy, who have you provoked? You are being chased by so many people." .”
After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and ran away in the opposite direction.
Yang Xiu just saw that the dozens of knights were not bandits in the mountains, but Yongzhou soldiers escorting him.
Yang Xiu originally wanted to explain to Chi Jingde, but he didn't want to be picked up by Chi Jingde like a chicken.
When the Yongzhou soldiers in the rear saw Master Yang Xiuyang being carried and slipped onto his horse, they thought they had been captured by thieves, so they pursued him even more fiercely.
A sharp crossbow arrow passed by Chi Jingde. Chi Jingde couldn't help being shocked, and secretly thought: "Who did this old man offend? He even has such a sharp weapon as a crossbow!"
One of the leading soldiers quickly stopped him and said, "Don't shoot me with your crossbow now. What if I hurt Mr. Yang?"
After all, the horse that Chi Jingde snatched was not as good as Zhou Yi's BMW, which was a cross between a sweat-blooded BMW and a Mongolian horse. In addition, there were two more people on the back. Soon a group of cavalry detoured and passed Chi Jingde to stop them. His front.
Chi Jingde changed direction and drove in another direction, only to find that there was a dead end on a cliff.
