Lin Xi told the truth and was very candid, and Tang Ke was also very candid. If it had been anyone else, he would have at least never told Lin Xi that Qianxia's border troops suffered casualties every day.
Because according to the lyrics praising Dean Zhang's glory circulated by the outside world, after the battle of Falling Star Tomb, Nanmo Kingdom had no crime in the autumn for fifty years.
Of course, this cannot be said to be a lie, because it was the battle that year that caused the Nanmo Kingdom to suffer civil strife and destroy the country. The powerful ministers replaced the royal court and became the Damang Dynasty. In the past ten years, together with the Dragon Snake Border Army
Those who are constantly entangled are no longer the powerful Tiance heavy cavalry of the Nanmo Kingdom, but the ghost cavalry army of the Damang Dynasty.
But the specific differences are naturally very clear to everyone with a normal mind.
Speaking of these, it is somewhat revealing and disrespectful to Dean Zhang.
It was precisely because of the frankness of both parties that Lin Xi and Tang Ke had a happy conversation. However, Tang Ke still couldn't understand why Lin Ke wanted to cross the Dentian Mountains and enter the barren land filled with ice and snow.
Lin Xi had no way to tell him and the middle-aged uncle that they both came from a completely different world. The stone tablet was in simplified Chinese that he could understand. In this case, Tang Ke would definitely think that he was talking nonsense.
nonsense.
Because of the lessons of those days of arduous trek, Lin Xi and all the freshmen of the Zhige Department had at least two days of rations hidden with them. In addition, they had no intention of going out to explore the secrets rashly, so after passing the rest of the afternoon with small talk,
, on the first night in Zhige Xinsheng Hall, Lin Xi fell asleep peacefully in his room. Compared to Lulin Town, the quieter room and the purer air that penetrated from the wooden windows made him
Slept very sweetly.
…
In the distance, on an unknown hillside, a dilapidated carriage stood.
The two old horses pulling the cart were untied and tied to the edge of a forest. They were lowering their heads and slowly chewing the wet green grass buds on the ground. They were driving the old carriage through a fire next to the carriage.
In a small part of the Yunqin Empire, the old man surnamed Liu who had sent Lin Xi to the shore of Lingxia Lake was concentrating on roasting a cut open hare.
The hare was already roasted to golden brown, and after evenly sprinkled with a layer of salt as white as snow, the old man pulled off a rabbit leg and chewed it carefully in his mouth, with a warm look of satisfaction on his face.
Suddenly, his body suddenly curled up slightly and became even more rickety.
There was a trace of noise traveling through the dense forest, and an arrow struck like lightning, shot over his head, and pierced the carriage body behind him. There was an unusually dull "dong" sound, and the thick body of the carriage unexpectedly
It was almost pierced, with only one tail feather vibrating violently outside.
But even after encountering such a sudden change, the expression on the old man's face still did not change significantly. He just placed the roasted hare and the half-eaten rabbit legs on a piece of wood next to the fire.
Then he stood up with his body hunched over.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!" There was a burst of applause.
Five assassins wearing black night clothes walked out of the forest. The middle-aged man who applauded the leader had a white face, a long beard, and a long sword slung across his back. He looked elegant. However, the old man driving the car did not look at him, but he looked at him
The burly man beside him glanced at him and said coldly: "So it's you."
The burly man's face seemed to have been stepped on hard, and the bridge of his nose was collapsed in a weird posture, which made his smile at the moment indescribably weird and ferocious: "Why, so many people will test in front of the academy?"
I was knocked to the ground, do you think you can leave safely like this?"
"Just for this punch?" The old man's body became more stooped, but there was a trace of ridicule on his face.
The elegant middle-aged man sighed softly: "This punch not only hit him in the face, but also hit the face of Tingsong Academy."
"Tingsong Academy is originally a low-class academy. Even if someone steps on you in the face, no one will care... It's really stupid."
The cold voice coming from the old man's throat and the obvious sarcasm made the middle-aged man hesitate. However, he still bent down and saluted the old man, "In this case, this junior will be offended..."
With this bend, there was an extra space for the arrow to fly between the woods he walked out of and the old man.
call out!
A feather arrow shot from the middle-aged man's back in an instant, hitting the old man between the eyebrows. At the same time, the middle-aged man's right hand was slightly raised, and the long sword on his back automatically slid due to his bending.
He came out and the sword hilt fell into his hand.
These five people are not the only ones. There is also an archer lurking in the woods with excellent accuracy even in the dark. The middle-aged man and the archer also cooperate very well, creating a dazzling sword light.
A few inches are exposed, and it's about to come out.
"puff!"
But at this moment, there was a slight sound of piercing flesh and blood, and the middle-aged man's body trembled violently. His right hand seemed to be held down by an invisible force, and he waved it forward very gracefully.
He stopped abruptly.
"when!"
At the same time, the old man's body suddenly bounced up like a curved bamboo pole, and he jumped forward fiercely. An ordinary dagger was cut out between his turned wrists, and it hit the tip of the arrow with incomparable accuracy.
There was a tiny flash of fire, and the feather arrow containing astonishing power was dragged away.
The burly man with a snub nose who just jumped up from the side with a grin on his face, holding a thin but sharp knife, instantly looked towards his chest in disbelief. He saw a blood flower blooming on his chest, a small section of it.
The arrow feathers are still shaking.
"call out!"
At this time, Lin Zhong's second arrow was shot, and the middle-aged man hurriedly fell backwards. On the back of his right hand, there were streaks of blood like earthworms twisting.
"Peng!"
An assassin in black with a cold face immediately stood in front of the middle-aged man, sweeping out his hands and sleeves towards the old man. At the same time, another assassin with a spear stabbed the old man in the waist.
The entire silver-white spear was instantly filled with a layer of oily and shiny green light.
Not just two, but three opponents joined forces to attack, because at this time the second arrow in the forest had also been shot, and the cooperation of these three opponents was extremely tacit, making them more terrifying than some extremely vicious bandits.
But in such a situation, the old man's expression still did not change much, and his body also lit up with a layer of green light. Despite the countless black lights in front of him and the spear piercing his body, and in his hand
The dagger once again hit the incoming arrow.
"Pa!", the assassin who was charging at him from the other side raised an iron shield like a magic trick and blocked the arrow.
However, at the same time as the sound of the arrow hitting the iron shield was heard, the old man's tight body had bounced up in a terrifying manner, and directly hit the arms of the cold-faced black-clothed assassin in front of him.
The assassin howled miserably, as if he had been hit by a giant flying tree, and fell backwards.
Two slender daggers fell from the old man's body. The assassin holding the spear sank his feet into the ground, but he looked horrified. The old man's coat was torn in one place, but there were no wounds on his body.
"Red scale armor!"
Seeing a strange red color in the tear in the old man's coat, the middle-aged elegant man whose expression had changed drastically screamed in disbelief: "You...you are the Black Flag Army..."
"I could have let you live, but you recognized my origin, so you can't blame me."
The old man's dim eyes, which had a slightly sarcastic look on his face, suddenly felt cold. As soon as he uttered the first word of this sentence, his feet had already stepped on the man in black clothes who had turned upside down.
On the assassin's head.
The assassin in black who was flying in the air suddenly turned into a corpse, and the old man jumped into the air like a horse trampling a flying swallow. The dagger in his hand easily blocked the long sword slashed by the middle-aged elegant man with his left hand.
He smashed the middle-aged elegant man's Adam's apple hard.
"You can't even send or receive Qi from your heart, but you still want to compete with others in the Four Seasons Plain... People who come out of an inferior academy are indeed inferior."
Under the stunned gaze of the sturdy and snub-nosed man who was already weak and fell to the ground, he only felt a light touch on his hand, and the long knife in his hand reached the old man's hand. Then his body gradually became colder, and his eyesight became completely dark.
He could not see that the assassins holding spears and the assassins holding iron shields were beheaded in just one encounter.
Then the old man rushed into the jungle with unimaginable agility. In just a moment, a miserable howl sounded in the jungle.
The old man, covered in blood, walked slowly out of the quiet jungle. He first took a pair of clean clothes from the dilapidated carriage and put them on, then sat down by the fire, completely ignoring the thick smell of blood that filled the fields.
Chewing the still warm rabbit meat slowly.
….
"When... when... when..."
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning came through the half-closed window, Lin Xi was awakened by the faint ringing of the Qingyue bell.
The corridor on the third floor of Zhige Xinsheng Hall soon became as noisy as a market.
When every new student, including Lin Xi, opened the door of his room, he saw two sets of blue clothes at his door, including two pairs of brand new ordinary black cloth shoes.
There are strips of embroidery of small swords on the collar and cuffs of the blue shirt.
"Well... during the five-stop period, put on the clothes of the college and come out. Your real first class will begin soon." Lecturer Mu Qing, who was wearing a black robe, accompanied by a sudden rise.
The raised bronze staircase gives a condescending look at these new students.
"It's class...it's class..."
Lin Xi shook her head, expelling those extremely familiar memories from her mind, and picked up the blue college shirt placed at the door.
