Chapter 1 The Old Ancient Capital Today's Frontier
Jingguo, Anping 144 early autumn.

In a ruined ancient city in the south, it is gradually feeling bleak, among the ruined walls, soldiers in thorn and rattan armor can occasionally be seen patrolling.

This thorn and vine armor was woven from a kind of tough grass in the south after the founding of the country. Although I don't know how effective it is in defending the enemy on the battlefield, it is cheap and the material is sufficient.

These soldiers are not wearing silver armor but thorn armor, which is enough to show that the troops here are quite weak.

However, to be honest, after the establishment of the capital, there seems to be no city in the south that has enough troops.

Hundreds of years ago, the late emperor went south from the northern grasslands. For most of his life, the Iron Horse King finally took the central plain of the Nanfeng Continent as his country.

Dajing Tribe changed its name to Jingguo, set its new capital as Fancheng, and changed its name to Jingdu.

Great rivers and mountains have been laid down, the so-called "one generation planted trees, and the next generation enjoys the shade", it is the time of prosperity and peace, who wants to waste the good time in this barren city?

What's more, Tianzhu Kingdom, which originally occupied this place, was defeated by the four major tribes in the northwest. At this moment, those remnants don't know which island to fish for.

In a tea shop near the city gate, the old shopkeeper poured a few cups of coarse tea for himself and a few young soldiers who were patrolling and changing the guard.

The old man drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, sighed and murmured to himself, "The ancient capital of Tianzhu Kingdom has turned into a deserted border city today, and the prosperity of the past has disappeared like smoke and dust. It's really a pity..."

Among the young soldiers, there was a young man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, with an imposing manner. Judging from his military rank, he was a small commander. Such an aura seemed out of place in this barren city tea shop.

Hearing the old man's words, his face changed slightly: "Old Uncle Cha, don't talk nonsense! Without wishing the ruins of the old city today, how can Jingdu be prosperous today?"

"Hey...it's a pity..." The old man didn't hear it, and repeated the words slowly.

After finishing speaking, he poured himself another cup of tea, raised his head and drank it, the hand that filled the tea trembled uncontrollably.

The young man seemed to want to say something, but when he saw his hand, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he stopped talking.

It is said that this old man also experienced the disputes between Tianzhu Kingdom and Dajing Tribe in the past. In terms of seniority, he is much older than him, but it is a pity that heroes always have their twilight, and now he can only guard the tea shop to die alone.

The young commander didn't speak, but the young recruits beside him were not convinced.

How dare the old man of this broken tea shop go against their boss?
A recruit stood up and was about to curse when suddenly a heart-piercing howl sounded from outside the city gate.

This howling sound can be described as earth-shattering, like a waterfall falling in the ear, and the roar made people's ears ache.

But this sound is far less clear than the waterfall, on the contrary, it sounds like a strong man pinching his nose.

Could it be that there is a nine-foot giant outside the city gate... crying?
Everyone was shocked, and quickly got up and ran towards the city wall, no one had time to pay attention to this bad old man.

The young commander threw away a large part of the recruits in a few steps, and he used lightness kung fu to directly step on the city wall by using the uneven part of the wall.

Looking from the city wall, the world is vast and the sky is clear, but there is a small black spot galloping from the south on the scorched earth.

Such a long distance, but a sound alarmed the people in the city, I'm afraid the other party's way would not be easy.

The young leader looked intently, and the black spot was rapidly approaching the city wall.He didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so he took a wooden bow from the guarding soldier, raised his hand to draw the bow fully, and pointed the sword point at the giant man who was howling and running towards the city.

"Who is coming, please report your name, and I will spare you!"

But the big man didn't care about it, and the smoke and dust billowed all the way, and the howling sound became clearer.

"Crazy?"

"He looks like someone is chasing him..."

"It looks big, but it's actually as timid as a mouse!"

The soldiers on the city wall were talking a lot, and the big man was already less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.

The young leader was about to shoot an arrow to warn, but suddenly his hands stopped.What does that big man seem to be carrying on his back?
I saw that the big man was wearing an animal skin coat, and the lush fur on his shoulders covered the people behind him.

And he didn't seem to know how to take care of the person behind him, and he didn't make any movements to protect him when he was running, so the young man couldn't see that he was carrying someone behind his back.

At this time, the giant man looked up, and the beast-like light in his eyes was facing the young man.

The young man was frightened by this inadvertent divine light, and felt as if his chest had been run over by something.

Just when the young man's face was pale, the big man stopped and shouted to the sky.

This wailing sound resounded throughout the entire Jiuming City, and the lingering sound reverberated and trembled for a long time, which made people's heart, liver and lungs frightened.

Except for the youth leader, the other soldiers sat on the ground, trembling and unable to speak a word.

The young leader gathered himself together, and looked at the giant man's eyes with pain and pleading.

He was like a beast trapped in a desperate situation, turning around in place, pointing at the person behind him for a while, and pointing at the city gate for a while.

The young leader froze in place. Did the big man ask him to open the city gate?

Seeing that the young leader did not respond for a long time, the big man roared again and rushed towards the city gate!

The young leader changed his mind and quickly ordered to open the city gate.

This is not without reason.

This weird big man looks insane, but his destructive power cannot be underestimated. If he smashes the city gate, the loss outweighs the gain.

In addition, although he is huge, his speed is also extremely fast. The soldiers will no longer be able to catch him when he drills through the vast mountain forest.

If he is introduced into the city, maybe he can be caught in a urn!
The big man wanted to rush in, but the city gate suddenly opened, he lost all strength and fell forward to the ground, smashing a big hole.

The man behind him was so shaken that he rolled off him and fell a few steps away.

The young leader seized the opportunity, climbed over the wall, grabbed the spear from a soldier, and pointed it at the man who fell to the ground.

The big man shook his head and shook his head a few times before standing up slowly, patted his back and found that the person was gone, and then he saw the spear in the young leader's hand pointing at the person he was protecting earlier.

The big man was terrified and furious, and let out an extremely mournful howl, which made the ears hurt and dazzle the listeners, and the pain and sadness in it made people's hearts tense.

The young leader was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to move the spear away.

If he moved the spear away, the big man would probably break his neck.

The two sides fell into a stalemate, and the people on the side did not dare to speak out.

"Ahem..." A weak cough sounded between the two of them.

The young leader's hands trembled in shock, and it was the hostage he pointed at with his spear who made the sound.

The hostage was wrapped in a fur blanket, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, old or young.

"Brother, put the spear...cough cough...put the spear down." The voice of the speaker was hoarse, but he was very young: "Amang didn't mean anything malicious."

Hearing that man's voice, the big man suddenly became quiet, and looked at the young leader without saying a word, as if he had changed from the previous frantic state.

"Who are you? Why did you break into Jiuming City?" the young commander asked sternly while holding his spear, motionless.

"We are from the south, my name is Yunqing, and that is Aman. I met someone who is not a good person on this trip, cough cough..." Although the child coughed heavily, he spoke in a clear way: "Amang is strong, he won Those villains, but they can't stop the crowd. Ahem... We lost everything in our luggage, but at least we saved our lives."

As he spoke, he coughed again for a while, and after coughing, he panted heavily in pain. It took him half a stick of incense to tell the whole story.

Lost his luggage and was in the dense forest in the south, Aman's mind was low and he didn't know how to take care of others.This child is weak, how can he withstand the sun and rain in the wild?

Soon after, Yun Qing fell ill, and in a daze, he asked Amang to find the town to treat him, and then fell into a coma.

Aman didn't know the way, so he ran all the way to the north, and arrived at the Jiuming City in less than half a day, and only then did the scene just now happen.

The youth commander still did not put down the spear, and said loudly: "Send the military doctor!"

There were only so many people in this city, military doctor Liu Shu was actually alarmed, and was standing in the crowd watching the commotion.

Liu Shu was suddenly shouted at by him, his legs trembled, and he ran to the young leader.

He was respectful on the face, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "The commander didn't want me to treat the baby, did he? If he couldn't cure it, the big man couldn't tear me apart?"

"Go and see."

Sure enough, upon hearing the words, the little military doctor had no choice but to bite the bullet and stretch his hand into the dirty fur blanket, but as soon as he stretched in, he felt a cold hand.

Liu Shu's goosebumps started to rise, and he thought that if this kid is so cold, he must be dead.He probed again, but fortunately, although the body temperature was low, the pulse was normal.

"It should be because he suffered from the wind and cold in the mountains, and was overly frightened during the disaster that he became so sick."

"No abnormality?" The youth commander asked in a low voice.

"Report to Commander Song, no! It's just an ordinary wind and cold." Liu Shu replied with a low eyebrow.

"You take him down for treatment."

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Liu Shu threw the blanket over his shoulders.

That child is very light, probably not as heavy as this animal skin blanket.

Amon let out a low howl, a little restless.

"Aman, don't worry, you'll be fine soon." The child who called himself Yun Qing whispered to comfort him.

Liu Shu took the child with unknown history away, and Commander Song took people to take care of the big man himself.

The other onlookers took their places and went about their own business.

The old tea uncle at the tea shop watched the chaos gradually subside, narrowed his old eyes, and took a sip of water.

A deserted city, a group of idiots.

The calculations of the older generation are still far from over.
