Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 287 The Boy on the Back of the Wolf
"I am no longer the commander-in-chief of the Wolf Sealing Army, you don't need to perform such a great gift." There was a look of relief in the man's eyes, and his tone was calm and indifferent.

The group of soldiers said in unison: "We have always regarded the general as the commander of our wolf army."

The man smiled and said nothing. He knew this group of people. They were all brothers from the former Wolf Army.

"Duoduo, congratulations, you have become the commander-in-chief of the Wolf Sealing Army."

The general named Duoduo took out a cloth scroll from his arms and said, "General, your majesty has issued an order, please return to the royal court."

The man took the scroll, held it tightly, and did not open it. He could guess what was inside. Although there was still a little smile on his face, the depths of his eyes slowly dimmed.

He said, "What needs me to do?"

Duoduo hesitated for a moment before saying: "Your majesty just thinks that you have stayed in this miserable place for more than ten years, and I am here to invite you to return to the royal court and share the prosperity with him."

"It's not miserable here, but very comfortable."

The man put his hands behind his back, looked at Doduo quietly, and said: "Duoduo, don't lie to me, if it is not for some difficult things to solve, our king will not think of me .”

Duduo lowered his head and frowned slightly. After a slight hesitation, he raised his eyes and said to him: "A mysterious thing was discovered under the Winter Lake. Everyone in the royal court is helpless, so I asked you to discuss a strategy together."

The man shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I'm afraid they want me to be alone in danger."

Duoduo's face suddenly became serious, and he said: "If the general is unwilling, I will return to the royal court immediately. If the king remembers the old relationship, I will not blame you."

But he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I will go back with you, and I will treat it as repaying the kindness that spared me from death."

Duduo breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "General, I still think that you were not wrong about that incident."

The man looked up at the bleak sky, and said sadly: "How can it be correct to be a collaborator with the enemy?"

Duoduo said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma. You just fulfilled the duty of a friend."

The luster in the man's eyes gradually dimmed, and he said, "But I still haven't been able to protect him well."

……

……

He is known as the son of heaven, and he is destined to be extraordinary in this life since he was born.

When the news that he was about to return was sent back to the royal court, various states emerged in the royal court, some were happy, some were worried, and some secretly speculated.

The happiest person should be Bei Wang himself, at least he looked like this on the surface, and ordered the entire royal court to start preparing for his banquet, and all officials should be accompanied.

The Northern King's Court has not been so lively for many years, perhaps because there has never been a son from heaven like him, or perhaps those who came after him have never been able to impress the Northern King again.

The Northern King and his were not only kings and ministers, but also brothers. In the past, when he was not exiled, he and the Northern King were inseparable. They talked about everything every day, from the affairs of the country to the common people and even those mythical legends.

His name is Tie Yuan, and he was originally the commander of the wolf army.

He has made great military exploits, helping the Northern King to unify the Northern Territory regime that had been divided for many years. He also resisted the Great Zhou cavalry many years ago. The [-] Wolf Seal Army under his command are so brave and skilled that no one in the Northern Territory army can compare with him. , the Northern King even gave him the title of King Master.

And half of the credit for this title is entirely due to Tie Yuan.

Although he no longer served as commander-in-chief for more than ten years, the Fenglang Army is still invincible under the leadership of Duoduo, but without Tie Yuan, people always feel that there is something missing in the Fenglang Army. It seems that the soul is missing.

This soul is Tie Yuan, the young general riding on the back of a wolf.

When Tie Yuan returned, some people who had been good friends with him in the past were naturally overjoyed, but some others began to feel frightened.

Once he returns, it is very likely that he will regain control of the Wolf Sealing Army. Although they are also in high positions, compared with Tie Yuan, they are obviously inferior in the eyes of the Northern King.

A luxurious banquet was set up in the main hall of the king's court, and everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, and the east wind was Tie Yuan who had returned from a long journey.

But to everyone's shock, Tie Yuan did not appear, but Tuoduo sent a letter to the Northern King.

He was unwilling to participate in such a lively gathering, and asked the king to meet in a secluded place.

"A secluded place?"

The King of the North was almost angry, and he refuted him as the Lord of the North in front of all civil and military officials. In the entire North, Tie Yuan was probably the only one with the courage.

He still left the banquet, he knew that the secluded place that Tie Yuan mentioned was the place where they used to whip their horses together in the past.

Twenty miles south of the royal court, there is a small hillside with green grass, but there is no trace of snow, and a big tree grows tenaciously.

Tie Yuan stood under the tree with his hands behind his back, looking up at this towering tree grown from a small sapling, he couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

"It's so fast, it's grown so big." He patted the tree trunk and murmured to himself.

"You kid, you are finally willing to come back!"

While Tie Yuan was in a trance, a thick and joyful voice came from behind him. He looked back and saw a burly figure coming up from below.

"Meet your majesty."

The man had already walked in front of him, and Tie Yuan respectfully performed the courtesy of a king and a minister.

Seeing Tie Yuan making such a great gift, the Northern King immediately turned a little ugly, pretending to be displeased and said, "My brother, you don't need to give such a big gift, haha."

"Hahaha!"

Tie Yuan also laughed. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for many years. They hugged fiercely and slapped each other hard on the back. It only felt that the harder the pats were, the deeper their relationship would be. .

Bei Wang supported Tie Yuan's arm with both hands, and said, "I've lost a lot of weight these years."

Tie Yuan smiled lightly and said, "My lord, you are becoming more and more wise and powerful."

"When did you learn to flatter!"

The Northern King gave him a blank look, and took two steps forward. He looked up at the tree and said, "Look at this tree, it has grown so big."

Tie Yuan looked at the vast snowfield and said, "I remember when we first planted this tree, it was a sapling no more than a few feet tall."

Just a few greetings, the two fell into silence.

They obviously have a lot to say after being separated for many years, but they have nothing to say. Both of them are aware of this problem, and their eyes have become a little empty at the moment.

How could this be?
Bei Wang thought like this, and Tie Yuan also thought like this, this kind of thing that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words will indeed make people feel sad.

After a long time, a faint voice came from Tie Yuan's mouth.

"Your Majesty, tell me about the situation under Winter Lake."

……

……

Tang Ge, Long San, plus nine young men from Wanghu Village, exactly 11 people, formed a team with the team leader.

Under Long San's intimidation, the team leader led 11 people to the army camp stationed at Cold Winter Lake.

The Northern King stationed tens of thousands of troops at Cold Winter Lake. Looking from a distance, countless military tents were like white clouds, surrounding the jade-like lake. Such a beautiful scene had a chilling meaning.

Every day there will be rotating soldiers guarding or patrolling the areas they are in charge of. At first, everything was normal, but after a long time, some people began to have doubts. Did the King of the North make a big deal out of a molehill?

Some generals even began to worry that the 300 taels of silver here would happen again.

But this is the king's order, and they can only carry it out. Although the king of the north seems to be irritable on weekdays, he actually has great ambitions, and he is a very deep-rooted man. Maybe he really has other ideas.

The Northern King ordered Tieyuan to investigate the secrets of Lindong Lake, and gave him a lot of authority. The tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the lake were at his disposal, but he refused.

The reason is that there are too many people and it is troublesome.

Bei Wang was stunned at first, but then his mood became more comfortable, and the guard in his heart eased a lot.

With the decree from the King of the North, Tie Yuan went to Lindong Lake alone.

……

……

On the west bank of Cold Winter Lake, in the large tent of the Chinese army, Tie Yuan was in the lower position, sitting cross-legged, and in the first seat above him, sat a general exuding the aura of a tiger and wolf, with a hint of cunning in his brows.

Moti, the commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Winter Lake this time.

"Brother Tie Yuan, you have been working hard on the long journey. Why don't you take a good rest today and explore Cold Winter Lake tomorrow?"

Moti stared at Tie Yuan with a half-smile, with a playful look on his lips.

Obviously, Moti looked at this son of heaven who had been demoted for many years and suddenly returned.

Tie Yuan drank the fine wine in the copper cup, said with a light smile, "General Mo Ti, I came here to investigate the secrets of Cold Winter Lake, and to relieve the king's worries, so there is no reason for me to relax."

The wine in the copper cup is the unique longevity wine in the north.

Tie Yuan likes to drink this kind of wine very much. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "I haven't drunk longevity wine for many years, and it's still so delicious."

Hearing this, Mo Ti's eyes gradually turned cold, there was something in Tie Yuan's words, which was clearly hinted at by the events of the year.

In the past, Tie Yuan was so heroic and heroic, riding on the back of a wolf to conquer the world. Even the king had to give him three points of courtesy. Now, when he comes to this Chinese army tent, he only gets the treatment of longevity wine.

"Haha, if Brother Tie Yuan likes it, I'll prepare some more for you."

Moti laughed loudly, but his smiling eyes were gradually covered by a touch of coldness.

Tie Yuan didn't speak anymore, and casually threw the Northern King's decree on the table.

Seeing the decree, Moti's expression darkened, and he said, "I don't know what I need to do?"

Tie Yuan looked up at Mo Ti, and said calmly: "I also ask the general to help me find some soldiers with good water skills and strong body, not too many, but fine."

Moti raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay."
