The cold current outside the Great Wall blows through the Liuji Mountains, the frozen Longyuan River, across thousands of mountains, and the frost-white mountains and forests.
Located at the junction of Wanlong and Jiangnan, Taipingfu City, which has rarely experienced wind and snow for hundreds of thousands of years, is also silvery white both inside and outside the city.
However, the cold current outside the Great Wall has lost nine percent of its intensity, and the bits of white frost have not even condensed the rivers.
On the Ruoshui River that passes through the city, there are still rows of painted boats undulating. In the night, the lights are bright, and the lingering sound and the fragrance of makeup fill the river for more than ten miles.
It seems that the wars in the world and the overthrow and change of dynasties have not affected this place at all.
Huhu~
The boat was drifting with the current, and rows of small boats carrying people, either one or two, or groups of three or five, were chasing the boat.
In the distance, among the rumbling sounds, the voices of literati and poets seemed to be speaking loudly.
Bang!
Suddenly, somewhere outside the painting boat, there was a sound of a knife, which startled the guests inside the painting boat.
There was a guest in silk silk who shouted loudly:
"Whoever is blind and dares to come here and act arrogantly, doesn't he know that this painting boat is covered by Master Wu?!"
Zhengzhengzheng~
Inside the boat, warriors holding swords came out one after another, looking coldly at the small boat in the river.
On top of the boat, stood an old man and a young man. The one who drew the sword was one of the young men with a frosty face.
"Take it easy!"
When the situation was about to break out, half of the old ladies in the boat hurried out. They first shouted at the strong men and then looked at the few people on the boat.
She is well-informed, and at a glance, she can see that although these people are dressed crudely, their aura is very powerful, and they are extraordinary at first glance.
Especially the old man, who walked like a sick tiger and stood like a sleeping eagle. He looked like he was no ordinary person, and he immediately complained secretly in his heart.
smile apologetically:
"We won't accept these guests unless we have them. In fact, this boat has been booked by Mr. Zhang. We are hosting a banquet for the great scholars in the house. If you don't have invitations..."
While she was speaking, a window on the boat was pushed open, and a shirtless young man, full of drunkenness, stuck his head out:
"The old man is full of fishy smells. I think he comes from a martial arts background. I don't know his last name in the army. I would like to give you my name. It would be convenient if I heard about it!"
"Master Lin, you..."
The lady screamed secretly and was about to speak when her vision blurred. The old man who looked like a sick tiger had already climbed onto the deck.
He looked around the boat and suddenly sneered:
"These past years, I have been busy killing people, but I forgot that you bunch of bed bugs haven't been crushed to death yet!"
Phew~
His voice was as sonorous as the friction of swords, and his words seemed to be filled with blood and fire. Just one sentence seemed to freeze the entire boat.
"who?!"
In the boat, there were sounds of surprise and suspicion, and a young man with disheveled hair staggered out. When he saw the old man, his face turned pale and he fell to his knees:
"Qin, General, spare your life!"
Big, big general?!
The young man's voice was not loud, but it frightened everyone inside and outside the boat and turned their faces pale.
The person who leads an army is called a general, and the person who is stationed in a state is also called a general.
But the only person named Qin who can be called a general by Mr. Wu is...
"Qin Lihu!"
When such a thought flashed through his mind, not only this boat, but also the whole long river, all the eyes that were attracted were fixed.
"Trouble is coming..."
Some people fought with each other, some people retreated carefully, and more people's eyes flashed with excitement.
In the past ten years, the most famous person in the world was Yang Yu, the king of the northwest, followed by the tiger and eagle under his command.
Sick Tiger Qin Lihu!
Osprey Wu Changbai!
At this moment, the old man standing with his sword in his hand was none other than Qin Lihu, and the one kneeling at his feet was Wu Changbai's youngest son, Wu Shou!
"Wu Shou!"
Qin Lihu glanced across the river with cold eyes, and his eyes fell on the young man in front of him who was covered in makeup:
"Who picked your name, and what does it mean?"
"Back, back to the general..."
Wu Shouzhan was trembling and sweating profusely:
"My nephew's name is Princess, Princess..."
"You, the generals in the army, and the heirs of the ministers in the palace are all given the name Princess. Your name is Wu Shou. Princess means,
Be careful and don’t act rashly!”
Qin Lihu nodded, drew his sword and struck down:
"Don't forget it in the next life!"
Spare your life!!」
Accompanied by a scream, the bloody smell spread across the river, instantly dissipating the powdery smell inside and outside the boat.
There was a dead silence inside and outside the boat. Qin Lihu slowly raised his head and looked at the boat that was coming through the water at an extremely fast speed.
On the small boat, a middle-aged man with slightly white temples, his face as dark as water, shouted angrily from a distance:
"What a sinner, how dare you pretend to be in my name and do such a thing that violates the law! General Qin kills well, kills well!"
"Is it really good?"
Qin Lihu looked indifferent:
"Wu Changbai, don't you think I came here today just to kill your evil son?"
Phew~
A small boat stopped in the river.
"well……"
Wu Changbai sighed:
"Wu, I really don't know what's going on in Taiping Mansion. I knew you were coming, so I came to greet you...
"really do not know?"
Qin Lihu sneered:
"Not only this Taiping Prefecture, but also the eight prefectures in Haozhou, you almost ate them all. Your appetite is too big!"
"There are more than 74 million households in the eight prefectures of Haozhou. Are you taking them to become king?"
"Twenty years of hard work in training the new army, nineteen years of conquering cities and territories, and endless battles..."
Wu Changbai took a deep breath and exhaled:
"We just want a wife and a son, but over the years, has he ever given us half an inch of land?
Now, the world will be at peace, not to mention outside the Great Wall, there are thirty-six states in the world, and Wu only wants one state, is this considered greedy?!"
"The land is not enfeoffed, and even the laws set by the prince, are you only aware of it today?
Let’s talk about conquering the world. The prince swept twenty-one states by himself and subdued the martial saints of the world. You and I picked up the pieces and made some small achievements. The rewards we received were enough to carry on your family for eighteen generations. Am I treating you poorly?!"
Qin Lihu almost laughed.
He looked around, and there seemed to be figures flickering in the shadows. He felt inexplicably disappointed:
"That's it, that's all! It's useless to talk more. Call all your people out!"
"Brother Qin, the friendship between you and me for nearly forty years as colleagues, today's matter ends here!"
Wu Changbai's face twitched and his tone lowered:
"I will not interfere in the slightest in this land of Bozhou!"
"Hahaha! You are a cowardless waste! You, a pig and a dog, do you deserve to be named the same as me? Ridiculous!"
Hearing this, Qin Lihu laughed loudly and said with anger:
"I'm going to capture you with my hands free, and I will deal with it on my own according to the rules of the government!"
boom!
On the river, the waves surge.
Above the houses on both sides of the bank, in the shadows, countless shadows flickered, and there seemed to be many masters among them.
"Qin Lihu has served for forty years, and has been on the offensive for nineteen years. Wu has fought hundreds of battles, and his achievements are no less than yours! Why do you want to take me?!"
Wu Changbai looked around coldly, his eyes cold:
"You want to take me? Ask Yang Prison to come in person!!"
"Bold!"
Qin Lihu was furious, and just when he was about to take action, he heard what seemed to be heavy air explosions in the sky.
During the howling wind, Wu Changbai seemed to hear something, and his face trembled violently.
Buzz!
There seemed to be a stream of light piercing the night sky.
Along both sides of the river, various
Many people looked up and saw a person walking with a knife high in the sky.
Walk in the sky!
Huhu~
The night wind whistled, blowing the mysterious clothes, Yang Yu lowered his eyes and looked down, indifferent and calm:
"Wu Changbai, do you want to see me?"
"he……"
When I saw the people coming, there was a huge chaos on both sides of the river, and there was no sound on the small boat.
Like a small insect falling into the rosin, Wu Changbai's whole body was frozen in place, and only cold sweat was squeezed out from the 84,000 pores all over his body...
"Your Majesty..."
Amidst the inaudible moans, Wu Changbai fell to his knees, his face bloodless and his voice hoarse:
"I, was bewitched..."
"Some people say that your destiny is purple and you were born to be a king. You were supposed to tear apart the earth and become the king. Is that true?"
No one could see it clearly, but Yang Yu appeared above the river, and his voice was calm and clear:
"That man's name is Lu Chen. He made an appointment with me to fight next winter. You are the letter of challenge he used to urge me.
He didn't lie to you, your life is indeed the same as the various rebel kings who died at my hands in the past eighteen years..."
"General, I understand..."
Wu Changbai's face was pale, his hands were placed between his eyebrows, and he immediately knocked heavily on the boat.
He was already dead from anger.
Dang rang~
From the shore, there was a sound of swords falling to the ground, first one sound, and then thousands of sounds. In a few moments, hundreds of soldiers in the army were all kneeling on the ground.
"Act according to the law, only kill the first evildoer, Wu Changbai, give him a generous burial."
Yang Prison spoke.
The young men who were bowing in front of Qin Lihu already responded and turned around to go ashore.
"Your Majesty..."
Looking at the lifeless Wu Changbai, Qin Lihu knelt down on one knee:
"I have neglected my duty and am guilty."
"Lu Chen takes action, what does it have to do with you?" He stretched out his hand to help Qin Lihu, Yang Yu's expression was silent.
Although Wu Changbai has the qualities of a hero, he has never done any serious evil. Over the past few decades, he has been promoted many times. First of all, he took advantage of his destiny and felt guilty.
Secondly, there is no need to test the destiny.
now……
"The prince is going to Fangcun Mountain." After fighting for many years, the sadness in Qin Lihu's heart flashed away and he said in a deep voice:
"You are the lord of the northwest and the lord of the world. You are the most capable general in danger..."
Yang Yu waved his hand and interrupted him: "Last autumn, for your 100th birthday, did you leave me a glass of wine?"
"This, I have to ask first..."
Qin Lihu was slightly startled:
"Here, this prohibition on alcohol seems to have not come out of the Northwest Road yet, right?"
"You should be careful..."
Yang Yu was speechless and immediately shook his head: "The world has not yet been settled, and the law of the northwest has not yet reached the world!"
"Then, of course there is a cup left!"
Qin Lihu immediately laughed.
The two of them walked away arm in arm and drank for the rest of the night.
When it gets daylight, the eagle crows in the sky, its golden feathers flutter, and the goshawk is waiting.
Click!
In the room, Yang Yu crushed a fruit and watched as all the energy poured into the sleeping Qin Lihu's body before turning around and leaving.
"This is……"
Qin Lihu's body trembled. He suddenly woke up and noticed the huge changes in his body. He was almost stunned.
Immediately opened the window.
A golden thread cut through the sky and disappeared into the clouds and mist. In the distance, the mysterious suit seemed to be visible.
