Chapter 709 I Am Legend (Second)

"drive!"

The sound of horseshoes that sounded like firecrackers, and the whip that screamed across the air made many people look sideways.

The originally inseparable crowd on the street skillfully divided a road, allowing the dragon horse with dragon blood to pass quickly.

On the horse, a knight with mottled dark red bloodstains on his battle armor had sharp eyes, leaping on his horse and raising his whip, even in the king's capital, he still held his head upright, a fierce military aura naturally emanated from him , so that the surrounding people showed envious eyes.

Sensing the gazes around him, Wang Li couldn't help straightening his back.

The eyes looking towards Wangcheng couldn't help becoming more intense.

If it was a year ago, let alone letting him leap and whip in the royal city, the royal capital would have been an unattainable word for him.

As a small soldier at the border, he thinks more about how to survive the next war, how to preserve himself from Wei's attack.

At that time, he was so worried that he didn't stop after his last meal.

The empire is retreating steadily, and will soon retreat past his hometown.

He fought bloody battles on the battlefield, but he still couldn't change the situation.

At that time, the greatest dream he could imagine was to become a general at the frontier and drive Wei people out of the frontier.

But that was just an unattainable dream. He himself knew it was unrealistic, so he didn't dare to say it out loud. Wei's people were powerful and terrifying, and the border was retreating steadily. It was unimaginable to be able to guard the border. Not to mention regaining lost ground.

And everything, the dream he never said, has come true.

The empire is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a steady stream of follow-up troops. Most of the original brave people will only belong to the family, and will never go to the frontier or go to the battlefield. Only those who are poor and unable to survive will go to the border army Find a way out.

And all this changed a year ago.

In the presence of Xuan Mingzi, the master of Legalism, everything changed.

The legalist sage, the great Sima of the empire, had defied all opposition and started reforms a year ago.

Promote martial arts to the world, and everyone can gain military exploits on the battlefield and change their life's destiny.

Princes, generals, Ning Youzhong, this sentence is widely spread among the border. Although they dare not say it out loud, everyone can understand this statement and behavior in private.

Over the past year, a lot has changed.

Originally, he was just a soldier who had gained enlightenment skills. Although he repeatedly killed the enemy in the war with Wei, he was still just a soldier, and all the credit was shared by the upper echelon.

But a year ago, military exploits began to become the most important foundation of the empire.

He suddenly rose up.

He still remembered that day, when the border wars were temporarily suspended, the barracks were rectified, and the grooming and cleaning began from top to bottom.

At first, he thought that as usual, some important figures from the empire would come to the frontier for gilding. He was very familiar with that process.

The big shots that he had never been able to get in touch with in his whole life came from the distant place where everyone in the capital dreamed of, and picked the most outstanding people in the army to meet and give a few words of encouragement.

Then the big man stayed in the barracks for a few days, as if he had never been here before.

In a few months or a few years, get the military merit they are satisfied with, and then just like when he came, return to the imperial capital in a glorious manner, and will never return to the border.

From the beginning to the end, such a character does not seem to have much to do with the frontier.

But this time it seems to be different. The person who came from afar is a grand master of the empire, a terrifying existence who can destroy cities and armies. It is said that he is going to carry out the transformation of the legalist sage.

All the characters who fought bravely on the battlefield will receive the best treatment, teach the top martial arts, and even exchange military merits for titles like those big shots, and finally go to the dreamlike city and king capital.

Wang Li felt that this was fantasy. Every time a big man was coming, there would be all kinds of rumors, some real, some dreamy.

And now this rumor is too dreamy.

"Don't talk about it, it's nothing more than saying that you can get rid of your slave status. It's too bizarre to be able to go crazy and ask for help. The people who made up the rumors this time are too careless."

He said this to his colleagues, but his numb heart still fluctuated violently.

He had already reached the level of fully opened half a year ago, but it was originally just a slave. After making military achievements on the battlefield, he got rid of his original status and became a commoner. He was able to teach cultivation skills, but only The method of enlightenment level.

As a veteran who survived a narrow escape on the battlefield, he clearly knew the importance of cultivating exercises, so he practiced desperately. Fortunately, God seemed to have taken a fancy to him. His talent was very high. In just two and a half years, he It has reached the level of opening all nine orifices.

He has learned that those descendants of the top aristocratic families are cultivated by countless resources, and there are not many who can practice at the same speed as him, and they are rare among them.

He is a legend in the army and a legend among civilians. He killed 210 and seven enemies on the battlefield and survived.

This is also the reason why he dared to dream of being called the border general. He thought his legend would last forever.

But his legend ended here. He couldn't remember the accident because it was too painful, but every time he thought about it, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

He probably remembered that a big man wanted to recruit him and sign a slave contract with him.

The big man made countless promises to him, each of which was extremely dazzling, and it was difficult for any soldier at the border to refuse.

And then...he said no.

He was able to become a legend alive and climb out of the dead because he didn't want to kneel.

He thought that by virtue of his legend, he could communicate with some big figures on an equal footing, but it turned out that he couldn't.

After that incident, he is still a legend in the frontier.

Or at least he always has been.

His task became more and more difficult, so difficult that people at the location level would frown, but he miraculously survived for a year.

It was a miracle among miracles, but Wang Li knew that he couldn't hold on anymore.

What he was facing was no longer a secret attack, but an open murder.

Before the arrival of that master-level character, his next mission was to face a top-notch master of location in the enemy country.

He still remembered that his superior looked at him with pity and regret before issuing this order.

"Hold that master of the four heavens on location for an hour."

Wang Li was ready to die, but after the arrival of that master, everything changed.

He was dismissed by others, but the military achievements thrown in the pile of paper were picked up again.

The master-level person met him in person, was shocked by his legend, and told him that his military achievements could be exchanged for the strongest cultivation method in the empire, which was originally reserved for the royal family.

He ascended to the sky in one step and became an exterior scene, and even his military achievements in previous years made him rise step by step, reaching a level that he could not even imagine.
