Jianshui City is not a majestic city. As the first-line city facing northern Xinjiang, there are only a few thousand people here and an army of 5,000. The ratio of military to civilians is almost one to one.

A river winds like a jade belt and flows past Jianshui City. It is called Jianshui, which is why Jianshui City got its name.

From the city's founding to the present, Jianshui City was only severely beaten by a group of arrogant generals at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the city was directly destroyed. Since then, there have been several dangers, but at least it has been defended.

Nowadays, the Northern Liao Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful. With the power of one country, the suppressed Northern Xinjiang dare not raise its head. Under the good situation, the soldiers and civilians in Jianshui City are also quite leisurely and relaxed.

The city gates are opened every morning, allowing the people in the city to come in and out... either to find firewood, to graze, or to do business...

Carts came and went from time to time, and the people on horseback galloped after leaving the city gate.

The weather is not good, a bit cloudy.

When it rains in this weather, it is basically the same as winter. If you don't have rain gear in the wild, such a rain can kill you.

In the distance, four people squatted and looked at Jianshui City.

"The city gate defenders are lax. If they have a hundred cavalry, they can break through." Yang Xuan felt that the opportunity was really good.

"A hundred riders will be discovered before they get close." Liao Jin squinted in the direction of the city gate.

"That's right." What Yang Xuan thought of was disguise.

But the target of one hundred cavalry was too big, even in disguise it would be difficult not to arouse the vigilance of the defenders.

"You can't get in during the day." Liao Jin looked at it for a while, then stood up and said, "Go back and find a place to rest."

After the four people left, several herdsmen passed by.

"It is said that two nobles of the Tang Dynasty were captured, one of whom is the governor."

"No, one of them is a prince."

"Prince? That's all right."

"You are the prince. Didn't you see that as soon as the city gate opened the day before yesterday, a messenger went to Ningxing? This is to ask for merit."

"Xiang Wen will be promoted and make a fortune now."

"Xianwen seems to have no wife."

"That's just right! Getting promoted, getting rich, and marrying a wife are the three great joys in life."

The two of them left, and several scouts slowly returned.

"How?" asked the sergeant at the city gate.

The scout did not dismount and said lazily: "They all ran away, faster than the fastest horse on the grassland."

"Tang Jun is a dog!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone laughed.

The atmosphere is extremely comfortable.

No one thought that the Tang people would dare to sneak into Jianshui City, not even the most daring imagination.

The scouts went to the city guard's mansion.

Yeluxi is interrogating.

"To my son, do you know the recent resolution of the Tang Dynasty regarding the Liao Dynasty?"

Pan Zheng lowered his head: "I don't know."

Yelu smiled happily, "This is Daliao, I advise you to be honest."

Pan Zheng raised his head, "I'm just a playboy who has been playing around for the past few years."

Yeluxi smiled and said, "Do you want me to play with you?"

Pan Zheng shuddered, "I swear I'm not telling lies."

"If a man doesn't suffer, he won't know how high the sky is." Just as Yeluxi was about to get someone to take action, the scouts came.

"The Tang army fled far away."

Yeluxi smiled and said, "It seems you are not important."

"Because we are traveling with the deputy envoy from Northern Xinjiang, otherwise they will definitely risk their lives for us." Chen Zimao was worried that the other party would underestimate the two of them, so he became ruthless and hurriedly explained the reason.

"Deputy envoy to Northern Xinjiang...Liao Jin?"

"yes."

"Why did Liao Jin come in person?"

"It's just because our family is a noble one."

"I see."

Yeluxi suddenly realized it, and the logic behind it all became self-consistent.

"What about you!" He pointed at Chen Zimao.

Chen Zimao said sternly: "I don't have any important positions in my family, but there are many dignitaries among my relatives."

"So...you are useless?" Yeluxi stroked his riding crop.

Chen Zimao looked ugly.

"take into custody!"

Yeluxi waved his hand, and someone escorted the two of them down.

The generals under his command held their hands in congratulations.

"Xiang Wen has captured the son of a prominent figure in the Tang Dynasty. This time he is going to make his mark."

"If you give it to the son in trouble, Ning Xing will definitely find a treasure."

"But don't torture, otherwise you will die."

"External injuries can easily lead to death, but they can cause internal injuries!"

"How to injure yourself internally?"

"Put a mat on your chest and beat it with a stick. Also, use a stick to beat your body. Be careful not to break any bones. There will be no external injuries and you won't die."

“Excellent.”

"You can also fill it with manure water."

"Good means."

"It's uncomfortable to hang upside down."

"If you let a few ugly girls in, these young men will definitely cry and beg for mercy."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

There was laughter in the lobby.

Since returning three days ago, every interrogation has brought everyone a lot of fun.

…

Thirteen-year-old Xiao Jing's biggest wish is to become a general, that is, to be stable.

Aniang said that he was still young and would be sent to the army after he turned fifteen to hunt with His Majesty in the Tang Dynasty.

Yes, every Bei Liao person looked at Datang with green eyes, as if looking at a fat sheep.

"Auntie, I'm going to practice martial arts."

Xiao Jing's home is a three-room earthen house. The middle room is where the family spends their daily activities. On both sides are the bedrooms of Xiao Jing and his parents.

"Come back early."

"oh!"

Xiao Jing went to the city gate first and looked at the soldiers' armor and weapons with envy.

The sergeants were also accustomed to the envious looks of the children, lazily leaning against the wall to rest.

In Daliao, the first-class career was to join the army. If you want to be an official, it was a dream only for the best people.

If you join the army, you won't have to worry about food and clothing. If you are brave and brave in the military, you will be promoted and make a fortune. Moreover, women also like to find soldiers to marry.

The next level are merchants, and the next level are herdsmen and hunters.

Xiao Jing's father is a hunter, and autumn is his busiest time. He went out a few days ago and has not returned yet.

Xiao Jing was envious for a while and practiced swordsmanship behind the city wall.

The knife was cut by my father from wood and was a little thick. My father said that it needs to be thicker and heavier to be close to a real long knife. Otherwise, once you get a long knife in the future, all the knife skills you have practiced before will be in vain.

He was sweating profusely from practicing, and then he was ready to go back.

"Xiao Jing, are you finished practicing?" The sergeant guarding the gate also became familiar with this boy and asked with a smile.

"Practice is over." Xiao Jing held his head high and chest out.
