I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

There is a stone statue at the foot of the mountain, which is the statue of the barbarian hero Yun Dingmo.

During the reign of the previous emperor, he guarded the border for thirty years, and the western border was as solid as a rock and remained stable for thirty years.

People in several counties and cities near Lingbo Mountain live a prosperous life.

After General Yun left, the Western Barbarians had no scruples anymore, and since they had a new leader, they harassed the people of Western Frontier with impunity.

In addition, the weather has not been good over the years.

People are not living.

Every time there was a big battle with the barbarians, Fang Qing would come to pay his respects to General Yun.

He admired General Yun the most.

A few days ago, a messenger came and said that the leader of the Western Barbarians wanted to make friends with them, but he put forward a condition that Fang Qing could not accept.

Let him send his children over.

His daughter Fang Zhiying is only 15 years old this year. She is beautiful and the apple of his eye.

He disagrees.

The leader of the Western Barbarians took the opportunity to propose that Fang Qing bring twelve people to the place he had agreed upon for two individual competitions. If he lost, he would send his daughter over.

Otherwise, he would gather his troops and destroy Ye County.

The fierce battle half a month ago is still vivid in my mind.

They lost about a hundred elite cavalrymen casualties.

The cavalry of the Great Northern Dynasty was weak to begin with, and they lost so many of them, he was heartbroken.

At that time, a stranger civilian happened to arrive and came to help, and he had good martial arts skills.

But in the melee, there was no trace of him.

He saw the man, but didn't pay much attention to him.

After all, there are many chivalrous people in Ye County.

Since he caught up and died on the battlefield, sacrificing his life for his country, it was an honor for him.

He heard from his men that several people came to the military camp to look for him.

He sneered: Death is death. It is normal for someone to die in the military camp.

It would be terrible if all the family members came to look for me.

If they break into the military camp, they will be killed without mercy.

He rode on his horse, full of thoughts.

It's really not easy to be a border guard.

Outsiders are eyeing us covetously, and the army is short of food and fodder.

The people in the city were short of food and clothing, and natural disasters were severe. Some fled, and some died.

Ye County is in danger.

If abandoning his daughter could bring him temporary peace, he might actually do it.

But the current leader of the Western Barbarians has been committing crimes for many years, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. He is greedy for beauty and extremely cruel.

Sending my daughter there would mean death.

The Western Barbarians will continue to harass the border.

Hey!

He closed his eyes and saw the majestic statue not far away.

This was the house he had renovated a few years ago at his own expense, and he also wanted to build a house for General Yun.

I never had time to take care of it.

He dismounted from his horse, the whistling mountain breeze blew up his robe, revealing the Green Dragon sword at his waist. He walked majestically to the statue and bowed down.

The people accompanying him brought wine and meat and placed them under the stone tablet.

After the ceremony, Fang Qing sat down, poured two glasses of wine, placed one under the stone statue, and drank the glass in his hand.

He sat there for a long time, until the sun went down.

Ji Xiaobei's feet were numb from squatting in the woods.

Originally, their plan was to take action after Fang Qing arrived here.

But when she saw Fang Qing paying homage to the old general with a solemn expression on his face, she didn't have the heart to disturb him.

Fang Qing was just about to mount his horse when Ji Xiaobei came out of the woods with a few men.

The guards surrounded Ji Xiaobei and his men in a flash.

Seeing that they were wearing the costumes of the Great Northern Dynasty, his tense expression relaxed a little.

But when he saw that they were carrying knives, he became alert again.

The Great Northern Dynasty is not stable now.

There were many officials who secretly colluded with the Western Barbarians.

There were also local people who secretly did business with the Western barbarians.

"Who is it!" the guard shouted angrily.

"Guardian Fang, I am Ji Xiaobei from the capital, and I need your help with something."

Ji Xiaobei clasped his fists towards Fang Qing.

Fang Qing was disturbed and looked angry. He took a quick glance and found that it was a woman, which made him even angrier.

"Nonsense, take it away..."

He said this coldly, jumped on his horse, and ignored Ji Xiaobei.

Lang Ning and He Ye drew out their knives with a loud noise.

Fang Qing's guards were ready to go. They couldn't defeat the Western Barbarian cavalry, but they were confident that they could deal with the little Luo Luo from the interior.

Ji Xiaobei didn't want to make too much noise.

She winked at Ronning.

Lang Ning waved the knife, retreated, turned around and ran.

The guard was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on, and then he followed.

He Yelangning and Heita ran in three directions, dispersing some of the guards.

Fang Qing glared at Ji Xiaobei and drew his sword.

"Those who hijack the border guards and disrupt military operations must be killed without mercy!" Fang Qing said, and waved his knife at Ji Xiaobei.

The guards rushed forward and started fighting with Ji Xiaobei.

The guards were going to kill him, but Ji Xiaobei kept dodging, trying not to get hurt.

About ten rounds.

No one was hurt.

Fang Qing watched intently, and every move of Ji Xiaobei was caught in his eyes.

No man can withstand five or six guards against one person.

This woman didn't seem to be struggling at all.

"Stop!" Fang Qing shouted.

"Girl, take three of my moves. If you do, I will give you one minute." Fang Qing said, and swung his knife at her.

Ji Xiaobei was caught off guard and dodged the cold blade.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Damn, Fang Qing’s knife skills are really fast.

If you're serious, I'll stop being polite and fight with you for a few moves.

In an instant, Ji Xiaobei had another knife in his hand.

Fang Qing's knife stabbed again with the wind.

Ji Xiaobei did not dodge this time. He raised his sword and slashed at Fang Qing's knife.

All that was heard was the sound of metal colliding and sparks flying.

Fang Qing felt his arm go numb and he almost threw the knife in his hand away.

He frowned and looked at Ji Xiaobei.

The knife in Ji Xiaobei's other hand had already slashed over, and the light and sharp blade was so sharp that it hurt people's eyes.

Fang Qing stood up swiftly, and the knife flew past his feet.

Fang Qing secretly admired in his heart: This woman’s swordsmanship is pretty good.

Fang Qing threw the knife in his hand away.

Ji Xiaobei was stunned. Was he going to use fists and kicks, or fight hand-to-hand?

Ji Xiaobei threw the two knives in his hand aside and rushed forward with his fists.

Fang Qing was unarmed, and the veins on his exposed half arm were bulging, looking strong and powerful.

Ji Xiaobei's punch was powerful as it came towards Fang Qing.

Fang Qing dodged with his upper body and swept his powerful left leg towards Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei hooked his leg in return, and Fang Qing couldn't dodge in time, and his face turned pale.

Ji Xiaobei stood up gently and supported Fang Qing's back lightly.

Fang Qing stood firmly on the ground.

The two people's kung fu was so fast that others were dazzled.

Ji Xiaobei didn't want Fang Qing to lose face as he was the protector of the western border.

Ji Xiaobei pretended to stumble, then stood firm, bowed his hands and said admiringly: "Master Fang, I was rude! I offended you, please forgive me."

Fang Qing snorted, but the expression on his face was obviously different from before.

The tone was still cold: "Go ahead!"

Ji Xiaobei said, "Half a month ago, Fu Jichang, the Tongpan of Anzhou who came from the capital, happened to encounter the battle between the Border Guards and the Western Barbarians. He wanted to do his bit to help, but he was missing. I ask Lord Fang to help find him."
