Just as Zhang Kaifeng was recovering from his injuries, the fortress at the border ended the battle. The fortress at the border that had experienced storms was broken under the iron hooves of the barbarians. The veteran who had once unloaded his armor walked up to the city and devoted his last life to the cold battlefield.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, ten thousand black armored spirits arrived. Lin Yuanhe saw the city wall full of corpses and wreckage, and his anger shot into the sky. He directly commanded ten thousand black armored spirits to launch a ruthless rush, regardless of any tactics.

The soldiers of Dayan were so sad and angry that they rushed to the sky. After several captures of the barbarian cavalry that broke the city, they were already exhausted. Facing ten thousand black armored cavalry, how could they have the strength to resist? The situation was instantly one-sided. The shaman tribe that came suffered heavy losses. In the end, only a small number of cavalry emerged from the siege, and the battle was completely over.

Not only the male veterans died in the fortress, but even some elderly women rushed to death. The streets of this small village were stained with bright red blood, and the houses collapsed, and the scene of post-war chaos. Some children cried endlessly with the dead veterans, and the old grandparents who laughed with them on weekdays were killed in battle. Some strong men were also killed in battle, which greatly reduced the villages with very few populations.

The children and women were arranged to hide, but they survived but lost their relatives. This was a heart-wrenching pain, and they could not stop crying and screaming incredibly desolate. The black armored cavalry warriors who came came were filled with tears in their eyes. They blamed themselves, but as soldiers, they could not protect the people, which was a dereliction of duty.

Lin Yuanhe has become more mature in the past four years. Standing on the messy battlefield, he clenched his fists, trembling all over, dark skin, strong body, and every move is majestic, but his eyes still couldn't help crying. Seeing the little girl in red keep shouting, many soldiers came forward to comfort her, but the little girl was stubborn and the little red shoes she was wearing had long been tattered.

"Luohe, Luohe---where are you?" A woman and a little boy were searching aimlessly on the battlefield.

"Dad---Dad, don't throw away the little tiger."

"Dad!"

"elder brother!"

"Xiaoyuan!"

"Teacher, teacher, teacher----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“------.”

The tender voice echoed between heaven and earth, and those who heard it were crying and those who listened were sad. The war was fierce, and even the teacher went to the battlefield in person, which made the soldiers of the Black Armored Cavalry even more angry. Why didn't the state government send troops to support it?

"Little girl, let's go." Lin Yuanhe walked forward, grabbed the little girl's hand and said softly.

"I don't--I'm going to wait for the teacher to come back." The little girl in red was Niu Niu. Her little face was covered with heartbreaking tears and her big eyes were red. She had grown up carefree at their age, but it left a shadow on them.

"What's your teacher's name?" Lin Yuanhe asked softly.

"The teacher's surname is Zhang, and his name is Kaifeng." Niu Niu said Zhang Kaifeng's name.

Lin Yuan and his body were shocked, and they were confused for a moment, and they were muttering in the south and south. The long-lost name was, four years ago, and they thought that the name was silent since then. Unexpectedly, when they heard it again, they would be separated by heaven and man again. Two times, twice, he could not protect him and let him die in the battlefield.

"Your old teacher is my brother." Lin Yuanhe suppressed the roar of grief and followed the little girl in a trembling tone, saying, "It is his glory for him to sacrifice his life for the country, and we must be happy for him. Besides, your teacher may not be dead. Let's go back first. When you find him, you will cry and cry, and then your teacher will not recognize you."

"Is the teacher not dead? Is it true?" Niu Niu's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lin Yuanhe's hands tightly.

"It's true, your teacher must not be dead." Lin Yuanhe turned around and left the battlefield with the little girl in his arms.

There were many people who died on the battlefield, but the black armored cavalry did not give up and kept searching, but they were all desperate. The brothers who had drunk and talked about each other in the past had turned into cold corpses, lying next to the war horse. After death, they still held the sword tightly and did not let go, and opened their eyes. Even if they died, would they fight against the enemy in the underworld?

Holding the cold corpse and pushing it out of the dead, the soldiers were all howling and crying. If they had come one day earlier, they would not have been like this. Sorry, brothers.

Fortunately, the sky had eyes and did not let all these people die. However, only a few people survived, but they were seriously injured and kept a breath. Lin Yuanhe immediately ordered them to be saved at all costs. At the same time, the house was repaired, the people were appeased, and the court immediately reported.

The night was very thick, and the wind was cold and cold, and the black armored cavalry did not all enter. This was Lin Yuanhe's order to let the people withstand the war, and they had no face to enter.

The atmosphere in the camp was extremely solemn. This was a depressing rage. Once released, it would be enough to start a prairie fire. The officers in the camp had sad faces, but more of a murderous intent.

"With the deputy general, the subordinates led their troops to completely annihilate the shaman tribe and avenge their dead brothers." An officer finally couldn't help but ask for his orders on the spot.

"I can't make the decision on this matter, so I'd better wait until the general comes back before making a decision!" He said helplessly.

"With the deputy general, we will go too."

"And with the deputy general!"

"And with the deputy general!"

Once the silence atmosphere was broken, the officers in the camp asked for a fight one after another. Everyone was filled with anger and wanted to attack. Kill the barbarians of the shaman tribe and avenge the dead people and colleagues.

"I don't understand the mood of being arrogant. But I didn't ask the court to attack without permission. This is a serious crime of beheading. As soldiers, you don't know the military rules?" He and the deputy general looked dark and said, "Besides, if you attack rashly, do you know that other barbarian tribes will not support you? What should you do if you ruin a large number of brothers?"

Touch! An officer punched the ground and said in pain: "Can we do nothing? Are our brothers dead in vain?"

"Do you think the general is cold-blooded? Are you questioning the general?" Lin Yuan and the deputy general beside him shouted angrily: "Do you know that the general's cousin also died in battle here, is he so sad?"

"The general's cousin died here in battle, and he has not even found his bones yet. You don't understand the pain in the general's heart." The deputy general's face darkened.

"What general's cousin?" The officers were stunned. They rarely heard about Lin Yuan and himself, only knowing that he was of extraordinary origin.

"The Demon Sword, Zhang Kaifeng is it." He and the deputy general expressed a name that had disappeared for four years.

"Descendants of the Demon Sword, a treason." An officer spoke.

"Shut up and pay attention to your words and deeds." The deputy general's eyes ejaculated and said coldly: "I don't care what the people outside or the world think of him, but his life is dedicated to the battlefield to protect the people. You are insulting him. If I hear similar remarks again, there will be no place for you in the Black Armored Elf Cavalry."

"It's the deputy general, I understand." The officer's expression changed, and he felt several cold gazes wandering on him.

And at this moment, a messenger walked into the tent: "The general has an order, and you will immediately lead a thousand black armored cavalry to the state prefecture to capture the state prefecture officials. If there is any resistance, you can kill them."

"Yes!" Everyone in the camp was stunned and then agreed in unison. Then, everyone was full of murderous intent, causing the people to be slaughtered by the barbarians' iron hoofs, and the prefecture was responsible for the main responsibility.

Under the arrangement of the deputy general, an officer from a black armored elite cavalry led two thousand elite cavalry to take advantage of the night to rush to Chongzhou.

In the capital, the night was already very thick, the cold wind was gentle, and the lights were bright in the palace at this time. In the Taihe Hall, the ministers who had already handled the official duties for a day were recalled. The atmosphere was very serious, and everyone swallowed quietly. They did not dare to breathe. Although it was already summer, they were sweating profusely, and the hot sweat drenched their official uniforms.

On the Hall of Supreme Harmony, on the dragon throne, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown looked like a torch, and his gloomy face was about to twist out of water. Looking at the ministers below, they were all silent and their faces became even more gloomy.

"Why, everyone is silent. On weekdays, they always claim to be how good the political achievements under the governance are. Now that this is the so-called political achievements? The so-called famous ministers." Emperor Dayan almost roared, and his face was even more ferocious.

"And your Ministry of War, in front of me, does not mean that the military and political affairs of all regions are strict and obey orders. They get money from the court every year, but when it comes to war, they are a group of cowardly and soft-hearted guys."

There were thick military newspapers on the desk, which were already covered with dust at this time. The emperor was furious when he looked at these military newspapers. He slapped the flying military newspapers with his hands and slapped them hard on the faces of the ministers.

"Look at these, none of your troops take it seriously. If you deceive your subordinates and hide it from the superiors, this is the Ministry of War with strict military discipline. Oh, this battle is a shame for the Dayan Dynasty and yours. If the people are ravaged by the barbarians, are you incompetent or if I have no way to govern the country?"

"Why are you talking, why are you all mute?"

"Okay, if you don't say it, then let me tell you. From now on, the Ministry of Justice will send someone to investigate the case thoroughly. All corruption in various places will be arrested. After the trial, I will make a decision. "The Emperor's eyes flashed, and his tone became even colder: "The Ministry of Justice, you will thoroughly investigate the six departments. If someone dares to obstruct, report to me immediately. I will punish you severely and not lend me a debt."

"There is a good minister who obeys the order." The head of the Ministry of Justice left the hall after receiving the order.

"This time the barbarian tribe was invaded, and the Ministry of War neglected his duties. The military newspapers that had been in trouble for many years were even ignored and were responsible. All officials who took over the intelligence were arrested and arrested for trial." The emperor continued: "From now on, those who leave the capital casually will be punished by the nine clans without my will."

"The rest of the departments shall cooperate with the investigation. All salaries will be collected this year." After the emperor issued the last decree, he announced his retreat to the court.

In the early morning, the sun had just risen, but there was a storm everywhere in the capital. Although this border war was not as good as a major battle, there were many things exposed in it, and many people began to feel uneasy.

In the back garden, Emperor Dayan, who had not rested for a night, was squinting his eyes and taking a nap. The eunuchs beside him retreated far away, fearing that they would disturb him. The warm sunshine fell, which gradually calmed down his gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is here." Eunuch Gao walked over and whispered.

"Call him in."

"yes!"

After a while, a young man in a python robe came over. He was more mature than Yan Zhen four years ago, and his every move was as majestic as a prince.

"My son bows to my father."

"Get up!" the emperor opened his eyes.

"I don't know what instructions did my father summon my son minister?" Yan Zhen stood up and asked.

"You are still blaming me, blaming me for not wanting to rehabilitate Zhang Kaifeng." Emperor Dayan sighed and said.

Yan Zhen's expression remained unchanged and said, "My son dare not."

"You brother and sister, since that incident, Qingqing has not been as happy as before, and you even withdrew from the court." Emperor Dayan said with a wry smile.

"If the father is not there, the eldest brother and the eighth brother are both talented and practical. With them being assisted by the father, how could the great Yan Dynasty be unstable?" Yan Zhen explained when he heard this.

"Oh! I won't talk about this today. The reason why I called you back is to let you thoroughly investigate the case." Emperor Dayan said in a deep voice: "It's about Zhang Kaifeng's life and death."

"What! He is still alive?" Yan Zhen was surprised and said, "No one can survive after falling from the Valley of the Burial Gods, but since he survived, how could he endure it with his personality?"

"How could I not know that Zhang Kaifeng had the same temperament as his father. If he had not encountered great problems, he would have come back." Emperor Dayan sighed and said, "He appeared in the border town four years ago and lived the life of an ordinary person. Just a month ago, the barbarian invaded and he fought with the border army, and his life and death are still unknown."

"The father means to find him and ask the whole story of that matter." Yan Zhen frowned.

"Yes, with the situation of his client, he will definitely be more able to grasp it." Emperor Dayan said.

"However, with his own understanding of Zhang Kaifeng's nature, even if he finds him this time, he will not agree to help-------." Yan Zhen did not continue to say that he was not qualified to comment on Emperor Taizu's will.

"I know, it depends on your ability. And this time you have to go out quietly and investigate secretly." Emperor Dayan's eyes shot out cold light and said, "It's time to pull out these tumors."

"Did the Father say that he wants to implement the new policy?" Yan Zhen's expression changed and said, "In the past, the Father's new policy was opposed by those ministers. Now he wants to take advantage of this matter to implement it. I am afraid that the resistance is still quite large."

"There is a big obstacle? But this policy is imperative and unstoppable." A murderous aura flashed across the face of Emperor Dayan.

Yan Zhen saw a firm look in the emperor's eyes, and did not persuade him too much, and then he left the palace quietly and received the order, but he went to a place first.
