" Boom, boom, boom!" On the plains at the border of Qin and Zhao, two thousand-man teams of Dragon and Tiger Cavalry charged forward like a huge flood, bringing with them a cold and murderous aura.
They were the King of Qin's most loyal guards, the symbol of the Great Qin Empire's strength, and the sharp blades of the Empire's conquests. They represented the highest honor of the Empire's soldiers.
The soldiers who could enter the Dragon-Tiger Cavalry were all warriors who could fight against ten people at once. They had three horses and were wearing heavy armor made of bronze. They had already traveled a long distance of 800 miles, but they were still neat and orderly. This was something that the armies of the six countries in the east of the country could not compare to.
The reason why they were dispatched today was to capture the traitor, the traitor! This was what their most respected general, Meng Tian, often warned them," Anyone who blocks the empire's hegemony is an enemy. Anyone who dares to betray the King of Qin is a traitor.”
Now, in the eyes of this ferocious army, Yan Dan was a traitor. They needed to capture or kill him to swear their loyalty to the Empire and defend the glory of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry for three hundred years.
Meng Tian was the leader of this generation of this troop. At this moment, he was riding a thousand-mile dark horse at the forefront of the troop. He was wearing the ancestral Goose Feather Armor and the Seven Star Ancient Moon Blade that the King of Qin had bestowed on him. There was no fatigue on his cold face, only the joy that war had brought to him.
" Clang, clang, clang!" The cries of falcons came from the sky. This was a method that the Meng Army had learned from the Xiongnu in their early years to train the falcons to pass messages. They could send letters or messages through their cries.
"Phew!" Meng Tian whistled and the falcon descended at high speed. Meng Tian's empty right hand reached out and grabbed a sheepskin letter and a wine glass.
"Send my order---Discovered the rebel Yan Dan five miles ahead, all troops, speed up the pursuit. Meng Tian destroyed the information and shouted at the messenger cavalry.
Orders and prohibitions were carried out.
" Boom!" In just a breath, the Dragon-Tiger Cavalry's speed increased by three times. This was the iron order of a soldier.

There was a blue starry sky, and the stars had gradually disappeared. The first ray of morning light peeked out from the clouds and slowly sprinkled on the ground. In the slowly flowing clouds, a huge vermillion bird was slowly moving. However, what was surprising was that there were five people standing on the red bird.
A swordsman was wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe. The black cloak on his back was embroidered with auspicious clouds, making people feel mysterious. However, the aura emitted from his body was as gentle as spring, making people unconsciously feel close to him.
It was a beautiful young woman, about 26 years old. She was dressed in simple white clothes and wore hemp shoes. Her black hair was casually tied up behind her head. It did not look messy, but it revealed an endless gentleness and sweetness.
A girl in red was about 15 years old. She was wearing a red dress, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall. Her eyebrows were curved, her nose was delicate, her lips were like pearls, her waist was like a floating willow, and her skin was like ice. Coupled with the bright red sword at her waist, she was incomparably beautiful and had a heroic aura.
He was a macheteman with an inconspicuous rusty iron saber hanging at an angle at his waist. He held a green calabash in his hand. From the fragrance emitted from the calabash, one could tell that it was definitely a 30-year-old top-grade wine. If one were to walk on the street in tattered clothes, one would definitely say that he was a beggar, not a macheteman.
An old man with gray hair and beard was controlling a giant bird. Why did birds need to be controlled? This was because this giant bird was one of the four guardian divine beasts of the Mo family, the Vermilion Bird.
" Master Ban, how long until we arrive?”The black-robed man asked.
"Giant, we will reach the place we agreed on with the commander in an hour.”The old man replied.
"Master Ban, can you hurry up? Young Master and the others might be in danger.”The young girl's voice was urgent, and there was a hint of pleading.
"Hongyu, it's not that I don't want to be fast, but the wind here is too strong. If I go any faster, the Vermilion Bird will be in danger of disintegrating.”
Hearing this, the macheteman tightened his grip on the wine jug. The young woman frowned as she spoke.
"Yu 'Er, sit down and rest for a while. You were injured when you broke out to report. If you don't rest, your wound will rupture at any time.”
"Aunt Nian Duan, Yu 'er is not tired. I'm just a little worried about the safety of Young Master and the others. After all, the Dragon Tiger Cavalry of the State of Qin is not easy to deal with.”
"Yu 'er, auntie knows that you and Hong' er are childhood sweethearts and is naturally worried about him. However, you are currently injured and if you don't rest, how will you deal with the Qin country's minions?”
" But…Young Master, he…"
"Alright, stop talking. Sit down and rest.”Nian Duan reprimanded with a stern face.
Everything returned to normal. The only thing that hadn't changed was that the macheteman was still drinking his wine.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Near the border of Qin and Zhao.
Dozens of warriors in plain clothes were guarding a simple carriage. The warriors formed a circle around the carriage, using their flesh and blood to build a human wall for the people in the carriage.
"Where is Yan Dan? Come forward and answer!"
Cold weapons and glinting crossbows were aimed at the carriage. Meng Tian stood out from the crowd, brandishing her saber and pointing it at the carriage as she shouted.
General Meng, Yan Dan is here."
A moment later, Yan Dan walked out of the carriage. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes and hemp shoes. He tied his hair with a cloth towel. He looked calm and fearless in the face of the world-famous Dragon and Tiger Cavalry.
When Meng Tian saw this, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He was an outstanding talent.
Yan Dan stood still and looked into Meng Te's eyes. The exiled Crown Prince, Ye, couldn't help but sigh.(In the past, he had heard that the Meng family had two outstanding talents, Meng Tian and Meng Yi. Now that he saw them, they really lived up to their reputation.)
"Yan Dan greets General Meng." He was neither servile nor overbearing, naturally free and easy. Although he was deeply trapped in the enemy's battle, he did not lose the demeanor of a country's prince.
"Your Highness Yan Dan, Meng Tian is right. May I know where you are going after leaving Great Qin in the middle of the night?”Preciseness, calmness, and magnanimity. This was the great general Meng Tian, whose name had been passed down through the ages.
"A few days ago, Yan Dan received news that Mother was critically ill. He left the city at night just to see Mother.”With his left hand on the hilt of his sword, he answered naturally," Oh? Empress Yan is critically ill, and Your Highness is a hostage in Qin. The first to receive the news should be the Great Qin's King, not Your Highness. May I know where Your Highness Meng Tian got the news?”
She sheathed her saber and waited for Yan Dan's answer. Meng Tian did not believe that anyone in the world could escape the siege of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry. Unless it was an army of 50,000, the 2000 Dragon and Tiger Cavalry would not be afraid of any enemy.
"General, you already know about Yan Dan's intention to leave. Is it really not convenient?”
Hearing this, Meng Tian raised her eyebrows. She ignored Yan Dan and shouted at the carriage,""Little friend Yan Hong, can you come out and meet me?”
There was a noise in the carriage, and then a young man walked out. It was the Lord of Shangyuan, Yan Hong, who the King of Qin had made an exception to win over Yan Dan.
"General Meng, you are right."
"Meng Tian greets Ruler!" It was a standard Qin country military salute, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Ruler, are you going back with Prince Yan Dan?”His sharp gaze softened. There was a hint of inquiry, pity, love, and determination in his eyes.
"General Meng, there's no need to say anything more. The north is my old country. This time, I must return north with my parents.”
Anger rushed to the crown, leaning against the railing, the rain stopped.
He looked up and roared into the sky, strong and fierce.
Thirty years of fame and fortune, dust and soil, eight thousand miles of road clouds and months.
Don't be idle, white youth's head, empty sorrow.
The chaos of the foreign tribes was especially peaceful. When would the hatred of China be resolved?。
He set up a long chariot and trampled through the gap of Helan Mountain.
Ambition hungry to eat Hu Krupp meat, laughing and drinking Xiongnu blood.
From the beginning of the oath, Yang Hua Xia Wei, toward the sky.
" This poem was written by my little friend. This style is my own creation. It is a song that speaks of one's aspirations. The king pities my little friend's great talent. You and I are both registered disciples of General Wang Jian. After the six countries are pacified, wouldn't it be great for us to attack the Xiongnu in the north together? Why must we sneak back to Yan Country?”
"It is my lifelong wish to expand the territory of China, but today, no matter what, I must return to my homeland.”
"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Meng Tian's tone had already returned to being cold and stern.
Yan Hong didn't answer, but shook his head lightly.
"Good! All troops, listen up."
"At-"
"Capture the rebellious Yan Dan and the others. Remember, the king wants them alive."(Junior Brother, this is all Brother Meng can help you with. The rest is up to you.)）
Yan Hong looked at Meng Tian's expression and his nose could not help but turn sour. (I, Yan Hong, have found a good master and four good senior brothers, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Li Xin, and Wang Ben.)
All troops, listen up! Kill!"
"Kill!"
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
An hour later.
"Yan Dan! Do you still want to resist?"
"Meng Tian, Yan Dan has already said that he will die on the way back to the country.”
The two sides had been fighting for an hour. The plain was already covered in blood. Broken halberds and swords were everywhere. There were also warhorses that had been shot to death by random arrows. There were only five guards beside Yan Dan, and all of them were injured. One of them had his left arm cut off, but he still used his sword to support his body and not fall. This was the loyalty of the men of sacrifice and the blood of the men of Yan Country.
There were only three people who were not stained with blood. They were Meng Tian, Yan Hong, and the Crown Princess Consort of Yan.
"Clang!""Yan Dan, die!"”
Clang! A sword blocked in front of Yan Dan. The one who was thrifty was Yan Hong!!
Meng Tian was slightly stunned. She changed her sword stance from stabbing to poking, wanting to push Yan Hong's sword away. Yan Hong did not panic when he saw this and used the principle of Tai Chi to draw a circle to reduce half of Meng Tian's strength. He passed the sword from his right hand to his left hand and raised his hand to stab at Meng Tian's throat. Meng Tian was shocked and the Seven Star Ancient Moon Blade spun to block Yan Hong's long sword. Then, her left foot exerted strength through her waist and her arm to block Yan Hong's sword back. Then, she slashed at the back of Yan Hong's neck. Yan Hong saw the urgency of the situation and dodged the attack with a metal bridge. He slipped past Meng Tian's crotch and changed his sword stance, aiming at Meng Tian's back.
However, it was as if Meng Tian had eyes on the back of her head. She stuck her saber to her back and caught Yan Hong's long sword. Then, she did a forward somersault and leaped into the air. She slashed the saber in her hand across Yan Hong's right chest and a bloody scar appeared. The pain from the wound made Yan Hong's legs go weak. After all, Yan Hong was only seven years old. He endured the pain and looked up to see Meng Tian falling from the sky. The tip of the saber was pointed at the top of Yan Hong's head. Yan Hong's heart tightened. He knew that if he took this attack head-on, his arms would be crippled. He wanted to fall to the ground and roll, but the pain in his chest caused him to break out in cold sweat. (Is it about to end? Farewell father and mother, farewell giant boss, farewell red jade, if there is a next life, I hope we can meet again).
Just as he was about to close his eyes and await death, he was suddenly pushed back by a powerful force.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Hong Yu!"
Hong Yu used her long sword to block Meng Tian's long sword. However, due to the immense force, all the wounds on Hong Yu's body split open. Blood seeped through her clothes, and her originally bright red clothes turned dark red in the blink of an eye.
Yan Hong's eyes were about to split open. Hong Yu gave Yan Hong a poignant smile.(Young Master, let's meet again in the next life. I hope that in the next life, we can hold hands and walk together in the world.)

Laughing and laughing, beads fall from my bright eyes. I don't know how sad I am.
Don't ask the past and future generations, how many melancholy feelings do you have in your life? Drink up the river and be willing to be a pair of birds. Why not forget?
Between the eyebrows and the heart, the water moistens the lower part, the same as life and death.
When spring comes, I know that my body is always there. Under the eaves, I gave wine to make a good marriage, and the vast world searched for traces of fragrance.
Drink again swallow the sun and moon, why swear, soft intestines hundreds of knots, everywhere, together jade broken. In the past, we did not fly together with colorful clouds. It is difficult to enjoy the grace of a beauty. It is difficult to cut off the unfulfilled love with a sword.
