Chapter nine hundred and seventy-four: Tiger Roaring Sword
As mentioned before, since the birth of humanity in the Western Land of the Upper Realm, there have been seven dynasties. The names of each dynasty are related to the colors of the rainbow. For example, the current Daji Dynasty refers to purple, and purple means extreme wealth.
Nowadays, in some places, the Great Chi Dynasty is also called the Great Purple Dynasty. The so-called Qing Dynasty in the mouth of the Northern Army Marshal is the fifth humane dynasty, the Great New Dynasty.
The most important feature of the Great New Dynasty at the military level was that it basically wiped out the separatist forces on other borders of the mainland. At this point, the conflict with the tribes in the North became the main aspect of the ethnic conflict, and this conflict continues to this day.
During the reign of the dynasty, many martyrs emerged who fought against the northern tribes, and the owner of the Tiger Roaring Sword was one of them.
When the marshal of the Northern Army talked about this sword, the implication was self-evident. Wu Yi responded: "Is the marshal talking about the tiger-crazy general? When I was young, I often listened to my father's teachings and learned from the tiger-crazy general in guarding.
Northern Territory, powerful to the North!"
Fortunately, the marshal of the Northern Army was talking about this example. This story was widely circulated in the north, and the people in several major counties in the north knew it.
If it were other stories, Wu Yi might not be able to understand them for a while.
"What a pity, the magic weapon is still there, but no one can wield it again!"
The marshal shook his head and continued: "They all said this was a vicious soldier. Didn't it just kill a few more heads of enemy invaders? If this can be considered a vicious soldier, wouldn't it be true that the millions of good men in our Northern Army have weapons in their hands?
They are all vicious soldiers."
"Marshal, don't take heed of mediocre words!" Wu Yi replied. From an outsider's perspective, Wu Yi at this moment must be just like a pug.
"I heard that you are young and mature, and your strength through hard work is unparalleled by others. You might as well give it a try!"
Knowing that this would be the case, Wu Yi declined a few words, but to no avail, so he stepped forward and saluted, "That villain is offended!"
Seeing the front of the Northern Army Marshal, Wu Yi originally wanted to see his face, but unexpectedly he was wearing a copper mask with deep eyes. In addition, the light in the camp was poor, so he could not see anything.
The marshal of the Northern Army took a few steps back to give Wu Yi room to display. In the past, not to mention wielding, but also transporting the Tiger Roaring Sword required four carriages. The history books said it only had 200 kilograms, but it was said to weigh 2,000 kilograms.
He wouldn't be surprised either.
This Tiger Roaring Sword had indeed turned into a vicious weapon. When Wu Yi looked at it closely, he confirmed his point of view.
However, in Wu Yi's eyes, the reason why he turned into a vicious soldier was not because he killed too many people, but because the anger of General Hu Chi was stored in this weapon.
The owner of the Tiger Roaring Knife, General Hu Chi, was a fierce general. He once broke open the copper-iron city gate with his own strength, and his strength was overwhelming. He was the pinnacle of that era. In terms of strength, no one could match him.
It is the pinnacle of physical exercise for mortals.
Such people will either die in battle, be framed to death, be killed by their own country, or be targeted by the enemy, and there will be no other outcome.
General Hu Chi, it should be said, was framed and died in battle. The historical background was the main reason, and his own arrogance was the trigger.
General Hu Chi lives in the middle and late period of the Great New Dynasty. The dynasty faces many crises, such as financial inability to make ends meet, land occupation, and the flight of small households. External crises include the annual invasion of tribes from the North.
The external situation is maintained entirely by people like General Hu Chi, but if internal affairs are not repaired, it is no longer possible to maintain a large-scale military confrontation.
All in all, the dynasty can no longer bear the pressure of confronting the northern tribes, but it is unacceptable to admit defeat and needs to exit with dignity.
In this case, it would be necessary to fight a war that would hurt both sides, or even lead to a small victory, which would make the northern tribes feel pain and dare not go south again, and also make the main war forces in the country feel that they need to recuperate and not continue to wage war.
Now it is difficult to restore the scene at that time, but the result is beyond doubt that General Hu Chi became a victim of this war.
They were obviously a partial force, but they were treated as the main force in the encirclement and suppression. They boasted that they were one against ten, but they didn't know that the number of their opponents was dozens of times greater than theirs.
However, the dynasty's army did not offer any assistance until the last moment. Instead, they marched straight into Huanglong and defeated the Beidi tribe's base camp in one fell swoop.
Let’s ask: After gathering the flowers and turning them into honey, for whom does it work hard and for whom does it taste sweet?
After reaching a peace agreement with the northern tribes, the Great New Dynasty was able to free up its hands to organize its internal affairs, continue the dynasty for more than a thousand years, and avoid an early collapse of the dynasty. From this perspective, the death of General Hu Chi was not meaningless.
The Daxin Dynasty felt guilty and paid a large sum of money to buy back the body of General Hu Chi, gave him a grand state funeral, downplayed the incident, and molded General Hu Chi into a hero who will be passed down through the ages.
But as far as the person involved was concerned, how could he not have any complaints at all? Perhaps it was the resentment before his death that created this vicious soldier.
After the war, the Tiger Roaring Sword disappeared and has been unknown to this day. It was probably collected by someone, most likely the royal family of the New Dynasty. Later it fell into the hands of someone like the Marshal of the Northern Army and never saw the light of day again.
Circulated in the hands of a few people.
The marshal of the Northern Army did not mention a word why General Hu Chi died, but unilaterally emphasized that General Hu Chi was loyal to the country. Wu Yi did not believe that a person of his position did not know why General Hu Chi died.
Chen Yan's father came from a humble background. He was just a clerk and a clerk, but he had extensive knowledge and was especially good at classics and history. Wu Yi was able to know about it now, thanks to Chen Yan's father.
Thinking of this past incident, Wu Yi didn't know if the marshal wanted to train him to be an abandoned son like the tiger-crazed general. All in all, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart and didn't particularly want to lift the tiger's roaring knife.
But the gaze behind him was a little penetrating, and Wu Yi couldn't help but hold the Tiger Roaring Knife in his open palm without even giving it a try.
Wu Yi used up 30% of his energy and prepared to lift it up. The Tiger Roaring Knife indeed only weighed 200 kilograms, but it was so full of evil energy that it could not be used by ordinary people even if it was touched by ordinary people. Wu Yi did this in order to avoid the marshal's attention.
Wu Yi originally thought that even after cleansing the muscles and cutting off the marrow, this body would not be able to lift the Tiger Roaring Knife with even three-thirds of its strength. Unexpectedly, this huge Tiger Roaring Knife fell into Wu Yi's hand, as lightly as if it were nothing.
At this situation, Wu Yi frowned and didn't know what to do. As for the gaze behind him, his gaze became extremely intense in an instant.
"Now that you've picked it up! Why don't you dance! Don't make the magic soldier regret it!" came the marshal's voice, and Wu Yi had no choice but to agree.
Although Wu Yi has never practiced swordsmanship before, he has seen a lot, and his dance at this moment is so majestic that he can't find any mistakes.
With the horizontal sword in his hand, an inexplicable aura enveloped Wu Yi, and no one dared to challenge him.
