Sui Daye seven years. The 160-year clank of iron hooves on the land of the Central Plains is far away. The legacy of the bamboo groves of the Jin and Southern Dynasties and the folk songs of Chile in the Northern and Southern Dynasties are like a dream last night, which was quietly dismissed by the magnificent morning light of the Sui Dynasty. The golden sunset glow of Yanmen Pass is evenly spread on the mountains, and the wind and sand are hazy and graceful, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful.Here Wuyuan, Mayi, Yulin, and Dingxiang are connected by four counties and counties. To the south is the Yinshan barrier, and to the north is the territory of East Turkic.The Shuofeng outside the Great Wall also echoes the eternal feats of the parachutists of the Han Dynasty. Fengzhou at the foot of the mountain has always been an important place for the northern border military.Qin was the northern border of Shangjun, Han belonged to Wuyuan County, Yongfeng Town was established in the Later Zhou Dynasty, and Yongfeng County was promoted to Fengzhou in Sui Kaihuang.

At this moment, the periphery of the execution ground in Wuyuan County, Fengzhou was full of people, and it was the time of You. Nearly a hundred prisoners could be seen kneeling on the ground from a distance, and two rows of executioners were holding their knives high. The middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the top squinted his eyes majestically, and had a sharp hooked nose on his face. He was Cao Zhi, governor of Fengzhou, who was always feared by everyone in the city.Standing beside her was her son Cao Yuanzhen, who was as thin as a stick, with protruding cheekbones that looked fierce.

The criminal officer looked at Cao Zhi, saw him nodding, and shouted loudly: "The time has come, the execution—" "Wait!—" In the dust and sand, I saw a man and a horse rushing forward! The world splashes ink on the paper mountains and rivers, and the figure riding the horse is like a stroke penetrating the back of the paper in cursive script, which amazes the wind and the yellow sand.When you get closer, you can see his eyes as clear as ink, and his elegance as clear as the moon.He reined in his horse and said loudly: "What crime did these three hundred Fengzhou people commit, and they should be sentenced to death?"

"General Jun trespassed on the execution ground to stop Cao from enforcing the law?" Cao Zhi asked slowly. There was a commotion in the crowd, and more people looked at the comer in astonishment—— "General Jun!" "It's General Jun...!" The onlookers were elated. Last month there were rumors that General Jun was demoted to Toyosu, and it turned out to be true! The army of the Great Sui Dynasty implemented the government army system, with twelve generals and twenty-four armies. The twelve guards were not only the forbidden soldiers guarding the capital, but also commanded the soldiers of the world.Among them, Zuoyiwei is the most dignified. His subordinates, Qin, Xun, and Wu Sanshi, govern the Five Army Mansions. , Yulin, Shesheng, and Yifei all follow Xiao Xiao's lead on horseback.Therefore, General Zuo Yiwei can be said to be the man who holds the military power in the world.

Jun Wuwu, the general of Zuo Yiwei, went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. He has become an undefeated legend on the battlefield after ten years of fighting. It is known as "White Clothes Su Sword". "Human life is at stake. This matter should not only be explained to the imperial court, but also to the people of Fengzhou." I saw the legendary general Jun who had outstanding military exploits dismounted from his horse, and his words were like gold and stone. "They are charged with the heavy responsibility of trimming, but they slow down and delay the construction period." Cao Zhi sneered.

"Since the beginning of winter, it has been freezing cold. Migrant workers have to dig three feet of ice every day to fetch water, and trek ten miles to pick up sand and stones. Many people's hands and feet are frostbitten and festered. They work hard every day to repair the border defense. The theory of passive sabotage is definitely not true. Please look into the truth, Lord Cao." Jun Wuyi strode up to the execution platform and put a roll of sheepskin in front of Cao Zhi: "Besides, there may be other hidden reasons behind the delay in the construction period." Only one corner of the sheepskin scroll was exposed, and Cao Zhi's expression had changed.

"Bold!" Hu Meng, the general beside Cao Zhi, drew out his sword, and dozens of guards also drew out their swords in a hurry. Jun Wuyi calmly pushed the parchment scroll towards Cao Zhi's office: "The responsibility of trimming the border is heavy, Mr. Cao should know it best." Thousands of thoughts flashed through Cao Zhi's mind. He secretly transferred 60% of the migrant workers who repaired the border to repair the mansion for himself. How could there be evidence leaked out?Since Jun Wuyi has blueprints in his hands, he just destroys them.I'm afraid that he has other evidence in his hand.I thought that Jun Wuyi was just a dismissed general, a phoenix without feathers, and a tiger without claws, but he didn't expect that he would stir up such a situation when he arrived in Fengzhou.

As soon as his thoughts turned, Cao Zhi's murderous intent was already moving, but he said with a dry smile on his face: "The general's words, I should be taught. But with the emperor's order and the troublesome people by my side, I dare not slack off." Cao's father and son have been intertwined in Fengzhou for decades, and the army is controlled by their cronies. Jun Wuwu also knows that if they expose the matter of their transfer of migrant workers at this time, not only will not save the lives of more than a hundred people, but it will also force Cao Zhi The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and kills to destroy the evidence.

Therefore, Jun Wuyi's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Although it is a crime to delay the construction period, the crime is not punishable by death. Mr. Cao should be punished according to the law, so that the people of Fengzhou will be convinced." "General Jun probably doesn't know that the assassin Cao is not an official title awarded in a peaceful and prosperous age, but a bloody battle on the battlefield. Of course, all the people are convinced. Back then, I fought with Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty in all directions. There are more than a hundred heroes and generals killed!" Cao Zhi laughed loudly: "I almost forgot—the general Jun was still young at that time, and he probably hadn't seen the dangers of the founding of the Sui Dynasty." His words were very meaningful. Ridiculous, but also a threat.

"Your Majesty is mighty and brave, and you have made great achievements through hard work. How can I not have heard of it? Because of this, Master Cao must be more aware of the hard-won peace and prosperity, and know how to be sympathetic to the people." .” Before Cao Zhi could react, there was a sudden chill in his ears.No one could see exactly when and how Jun Wuyi made his move, as if it was just a brilliant stab from the sun, and Jun Wuyi's Su sword was back in its sheath!On the case in front of Cao Zhi, one fallen leaf turned into three—the already paper-thin fallen leaf was cut into three layers, and each layer was in perfect shape and not broken at all!

The guards were stunned, and all the provocations were cut down like thin leaves. Cao Zhi broke out in a cold sweat. If what Jun Wuyi cut off was not the fallen leaves, but his head—now, can his head still be safely on his neck? "Frivolous and wild leaves, how dare they fall on the official case of the governor, disturb Mr. Cao's handling of official affairs, and disturb the eyes and ears of the people." Jun Wuyi casually brushed off the fallen leaves that were divided into three on the table. There were many guards, but no one dared to stop him. Jun Wuyi continued calmly, "This case was handled by Mr. Cao himself, so naturally he knows the details of the case like the back of his hand. Although I know one or two details, it's not enough to prove it. I don't have a few blueprints with me yet, so I don't dare to disturb you." Your Excellency will decide." After speaking, he smiled faintly and stepped aside, standing with his hands behind his back. Cao Zhi has always dominated one side, and no one in Fengzhou dared to say "no". Today, he is restrained at every step and can't do anything. Open Jinkou, this official also attaches great importance to this case, and it is reasonable to thoroughly investigate the case. If there are innocent people who have been wronged, this official should take it for them, and if there are any criminals who make trouble - this official will not I will not forgive you lightly!" "Father—" Cao Yuanzhen's face was fierce and unwilling, but when he saw Cao Zhi's expression, he shut his mouth. "The criminals will be escorted back first!" Cao Zhi scolded coldly, and the criminal officer followed behind obediently, saying repeatedly: "Yes... yes..." Half a month later. There has just been a winter rain in Saibei, and the wind is blowing the yellow sand, and it is freezing cold. It was in the evening when the cooking soldiers shouted: "It's time to eat!" The soldiers took their bowls and lined up in front of the cauldron. The pot was just brown rice with sand in it. Or fish is only available during festivals.Usually it is steamed bread and brown rice, with a little salt and a few vegetable stalks. Jun Wuwu, dressed in white, also stood in the middle of the team. Originally, although he was dismissed, he still had a vacant position as a general. He didn't have to eat brown rice with the soldiers, but he would rather eat and live with the soldiers.But for some reason, the soldiers kept looking at Jun Wuyi with strange eyes. For example, at this time, everyone is crowded together and lined up. The young soldiers punch me and I slap you. They are very affectionate and happy. After a hard day of training, only the time of eating is the most relaxing time-but Jun Wuyi But the front and back were empty, and the others automatically kept a few feet away from him. Joy, shut him out. Although he stood in the middle of the team, his figure was lonely. It was Jun Wuxin's turn, and the cooking soldier scooped up a spoonful of rice into his bowl, but it was obviously more grainy than other soldiers' rice.The other soldiers in the team just pretended not to see it, and each brought their meals to eat. Jun Wuyi walked towards a table with the meal in hand, and the five or six soldiers who were sitting on the table immediately got up and left, and went to the next table as if avoiding something—— Jun Wuyi sat down on the bluestone table at a few o'clock cold rain. When he first arrived in Fengzhou, he would join the group of soldiers chatting and laughing, but after the soldiers avoided him uncomfortably a few times, he felt a little nervous Sad, but he won't go anymore - since he was a child, he would rather suffer some pain himself than watch others suffer. Swallowing a mouthful of rice full of sand, even though Jun Wuyi has always been simple in life, the brown rice is really hard to swallow-but he still forced himself to eat the rice.As he ate, he seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "What are you laughing at?" Suddenly, a voice asked. A tall northern man sat down at his desk. The man looked to be about thirty years old, with eyebrows as thick as a knife. Jun Wuyi was slightly taken aback, this was the first time someone had dinner at the same table with him since he came to Fengzhou. "What are you laughing at?" the man asked again. "I think of a friend," Jun Wuyi smiled, "a friend who never wrongs himself and has a very genuine temperament. This friend lives in the most comfortable restaurant, eats the most suitable food, and wears the best clothes-but chooses The most inconspicuous gray—someone dresses to show others, and he only makes himself comfortable." The smile rippling from those gentle eyes like ink is like spring breeze soaking mountains and rivers. "Eat brown rice by yourself, and think of a friend who doesn't know how to eat brown rice. You are such an interesting person." The man took two mouthfuls of rice vigorously: "My name is Hu Meng." "You have no intention." "From Shaodong, Hunan." "From Lintong, Chang'an." The two looked at each other and smiled! Hu Meng took out a wine sac from his arms, and took a few big mouthfuls of rice, the bowl was empty, and he poured the wine into the empty bowl as soon as he raised his hand.Jun Wuwu looked at him, and followed his example to pick up the rice - the soldiers at the table next to him were all surprised to see how the always elegant General Jun ate like this. Soon, Jun Wuxin put the empty bowl on the table.The man laughed loudly, and as soon as the wine bag in his hand was tipped, the spirits poured into Jun Wuyi's bowl, the sound of the spirits splashing was like a torrential rain! "Damn—!" Hu Meng said loudly, his hoarse voice was bold and dry. "Do it!" Jun Wuyi smiled, her voice resounding like gold and stone. When the two bowls collided, Jun Wuyi drank the strong wine from Saibei, only to feel that the wine warmed his chest, and Lie Shuofeng was not so cold anymore. Hu Meng looked at the red cloud on his elegant face, and laughed loudly: "You haven't drunk our strong bar in Saibei!" "Good wine must be strong." Jun Wuyi smiled: "It's like a friend must be true." A cold moon climbed up the Yinshan Mountain. Hu Meng and Jun Wuyi were still sitting on the stone table drinking, the other soldiers had already gone back to their tents, Hu Meng seemed to be a little drunk, he pointed at Jun Wuyi and said vaguely: "You..." He hiccupped : "Do you know...why do the brothers isolate you? Why are the cooking soldiers harsh on you?" After drinking, Jun Wuyi's complexion was very good, and the thin dew soaked his white clothes, like washing a sheath of a pure famous sword.The moonlight poured into his smiling eyes: "I know." "You don't know!..." Hu Meng hiccupped again: "You only know that everyone is afraid of Cao Zhi and dare not get close to you... You don't know what Cao Zhi wants everyone to do!" Jun Wuwu saw that he was drunk. Hu Meng's neck flushed and he threw the wine bowl to the ground: "Do you know what we have done for half a month? Let's do evil!" His eyes were bloodshot: "Let's go to Chongshan to make traps... When the conscripts pass through the valley, they just need to push down the big rocks that are holding the trap... Thousands of people will all be crushed to death by the rocks falling from the mountain and buried in the ground." there!" The smile in Jun Wuwu's eyes froze. Hu Meng pointed at him drunkenly: "The more capable you are, the more evidence you have, the more Cao Zhi can't let everyone live! You have evidence... Wouldn't Cao Zhi destroy the evidence? Even thousands of Man, he won't even blink his eyes when he kills! Even if you are the king of heaven, you still have to listen to Cao Zhi in Fengzhou!... Can you stand up for us for a while, can you... can you stand up for us for a lifetime? When the time comes There is no way to survive without everyone... You, tell me... Can everyone not blame you?!" "Maybe..." Hu Meng waved his hand in a drunken rage: "One day the emperor will issue an edict to call you back to Chang'an...!"
