After the divorce, I pursued the Ninth Prince 100 times.

The three kingdoms of Xining, Donglai and Nanjiang even offered sacrifices to the heavens and chose an auspicious day, preparing to attack the capital of North Vietnam in one fell swoop on that day and end the long-standing confrontation between the four countries.

It became a three-way balance of power, and there was no North Vietnam anymore.

Before this day arrived, in the remote mountain valleys of North Vietnam, the Mingwei Cavalry was carrying out their final brutal training.

The so-called auspicious day finally arrived.

When the Three Kingdoms army was about to attack the capital city like a whirlwind, they encountered elite cavalry rushing down from the mountains on both sides in a long canyon on the way.

This was the first battle of the Mingwei Cavalry.

For the first time, the cavalrymen pointed their swords at living people, their sworn enemies who wanted to destroy their homes!

Amid the thundering sound of war drums, the Mingwei Iron Knights were in high spirits and fought bravely, annihilating the vanguard of the Three Kingdoms' army in one fell swoop.

Corpses were scattered all over the ground and the mountains were stained with blood.

Mingwei's cavalry won the first battle.

After that, the Mingwei cavalry was like a god, winning every battle and conquering every city. In just two months, they drove the armies of the three countries out of the territory of North Vietnam.

It took another eight months to double the territory of North Vietnam.

Another year passed, and the territory of North Vietnam had expanded to more than seven times its original size.

Later, whenever the enemy heard the name of Mingwei Iron Cavalry, they would flee and would not even dare to fight.

The three countries sent representatives to North Vietnam to negotiate peace. Each country paid a large amount of silver and money to North Vietnam before North Vietnam signed a ten-year peace treaty with them.

For ten years, neither side will invade the other's territory.

A period of peace finally arrived, allowing North Vietnam to recuperate. The late emperor improved governance and improved people's livelihoods, and North Vietnam became increasingly prosperous.

The Mingwei Iron Cavalry is still entrenched in the original mountain valleys, and as usual, they insist on regular training and exercises day after day, as well as regular assessments, to ensure the survival of the fittest.

But everyone knows that the Mingwei Iron Cavalry was founded by the national defense general Xu Mingwei. It is his private army and only obeys his orders.

As time went by, the late emperor could no longer sit still.

Before his death, he finally summoned the national defense general Xu Mingwei.

He offered to give him the imperial sword, which he could use to kill treacherous officials and behead tyrants.

Even without saying it, the implication was clear in his earnest eyes.

Xu Mingwei had no choice but to disband the Mingwei Iron Cavalry.

Although they were disbanded, the cavalrymen who originally belonged to the Mingwei Iron Cavalry were engaged in agriculture, emerging businesses, or became various craftsmen, but they still spontaneously trained and fought on a small scale on a regular basis to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

So the Mingwei Iron Cavalry dispersed in form but gathered in spirit.

When there is nothing to do, he hides in the city; when there is something to do, he only needs to call out and hundreds of people will respond.

Tears welled up in the old man's eyes. "Ever since the Mingwei Iron Cavalry disbanded, the Donglai Kingdom has been tentatively harassing our border cities, but they're somewhat concerned about the peace treaty."

"Now that ten years have passed and the contract has expired, I'm afraid the same crisis of national destruction will come again. By then, the Mingwei Iron Cavalry will have emerged once again."

"South Star!"

The old man suddenly became agitated, almost a little crazy. His white eyebrows raised, his eyes bloodshot, and his hands pressed on the shoulders of the well-behaved little girl in red before him.

"Nanxing, you must listen to your grandfather and practice martial arts well. If your martial arts skills are poor, even if you have a military token, the Mingwei Iron Cavalry will definitely not recognize you, let alone obey your orders!"

"You must practice martial arts well!"

The old man was already on his deathbed, his eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and his nostrils were flared, which was truly horrifying.

Little Nanxing burst into tears, crying so loudly that it shook the whole sky.

He lifted up the ugly thing made of black iron and tried to stuff it into the old man's hand.

"I... I don't want it... Wuwu! I want my mother and grandfather... Wuwu..."

"Woo woo, Brother Yu..."

The old man clenched his fists tightly and refused to take the military token.

His eyes widened, his breathing quickened: "Nanxing, take it!"

"Quick! Take it! Don't tell anyone..."

Xiao Nanxing didn't get the military token back, and she cried anxiously, her cries getting louder and louder.

The three uncles and grandmother who were guarding outside finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke in against the old man's orders.

My grandmother was an old lady with silver hair. When she walked in and saw the little girl in a red dress crying very sadly, she hugged her in her arms.

While pointing at his grandfather's nose, he cursed: "You old man, you said you wouldn't live for a few days, and your only wish was to see Nanxing. We finally brought Nanxing to you, and you're so good! You scared the child!"

The old man ignored her and just stared at Xiao Nanxing with his eyes wide open, unable to swallow his breath.

"Dad, dad!"

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Dad, why are you glaring at Nanxing? Nanxing is still young. Even if she makes you angry, don't glare at her. Look how scared you are!"

The three uncles gathered around the bed, talking to each other.

But the old man ignored everyone and just stared at the little girl in the red dress with his eyes wide open.

Xiao Nanxing cried for a long time and then hiccuped.

But while no one was paying attention, she quietly stuffed the ugly black thing into her arms with her little hand.

After putting it away, she went to see the old man on the bed.

The old man's brows relaxed, and his terrifying eyes no longer glared at her. He even pursed his lips slightly and smiled at her.

But that pale and ferocious old face looked terrifying even when he was smiling.

Xiao Nanxing was thinking that he had secretly hidden the ugly thing and no one had seen it, and his grandfather must be satisfied.

He likes to hear me call him, why don’t you call him again?

"Grandpa!" The little girl wiped her tears with her sleeves and called out sweetly in a soft voice.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud thud as something heavy fell.

My grandfather passed away with a look of relief on his face.

Her three uncles and grandmother no longer cared about her. They swarmed around her grandfather's bed and cried heart-wrenchingly.

She was the only one standing there in a daze, touching the hard, ugly thing on her chest with her little hand.

The thing was pressed against her chest, it was a little prickly, and it made her heart feel hot.

Xiao Nanxing went home with the ugly thing in her arms. She didn't dare to tell anyone and walked around the house again and again, looking everywhere but she was still not satisfied.

Finally, he turned to the yard, thought for a moment, and sent the maid away. Then he squatted beside the small tree with his butt sticking out, digging a hole with a grunt.

He held the ugly black thing in both hands and placed it solemnly into the pit.

Then he started digging the hole again.

After the burial, the little girl was sweating profusely and sat down on the ground tiredly.

Suddenly he burst into tears.

She would never see her grandfather again!
