Chapter 1 System Activation

The Great Zhou Dynasty, the northern battlefield.

On the boundless wasteland, there are scattered strands of yellow weeds, swaying with the wind and sand.

A tall figure was walking with difficulty, and the worn brown leather armor was stained with mottled blood.

Sweat was dripping from his resolute face.

He dragged a corpse and dragged a long bloodstain across the wasteland.

The corpse is his robe, and none of them can be left behind.

Behind him, there are six or seven warriors, the same is true.

Even though he followed step by step, he was very firm.

Gives a sense of sadness and desolation.

"Ding, the energy storage progress of the sign-in system has reached 99.9%. It is expected to be officially activated at noon today! The host will receive a mysterious gift pack!"

With the sound of the voice in his mind, Lu Yu exhaled.

It took some effort to drag the palm of the corpse.

Just after crossing into this world called Xianwu Continent, he knew the existence of the system.

But the system has been storing energy, making him very helpless.

Now, it is finally about to be activated, and I can't help but look forward to it.

Because it was his only hope.

after coming to this world.

He became the grandson of the Jingbian general Lu Heng.

When the family sacrificed three months ago, because the eldest grandson of General Jingbian's house was disrespectful to his mother, he couldn't help but contradict him.

Therefore, he was directly dispatched to the border by the General's Mansion and became a long-standing guard stationed at the beacon tower. For three months, under the tempering of the yellow sand and the fire of war, he turned a young man into a predator.

Just now, when Lu Yu was leading his brothers to chop wood, he bumped into the barbarian scout and experienced a small-scale conflict.

Let the standard beacon tower fighters of twelve people die, and the loss of the blood barbarians is only one scout.

It can be seen that the barbarians are strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are one against ten.

If the opponent comes next time instead of a scout, but a team of knights, the entire beacon tower will be destroyed.

In such a dangerous place, it is not an exaggeration to say that the General's Mansion would send Lu Yu to his death.

"Lu Xun is a direct bloodline, a high-grade spiritual body with cultivation qualifications, and has been recommended to the school. After completing his studies, he can worship the fifth-grade official. Moreover, his fiancee is the fourth-grade general Zhenyuan's daughter, and he is the son of his son-in-law. So you have to hold one and kill one, it's really cruel!"

Lu Yu said to himself as he walked.

The northern border has always had the highest mortality rate.

Relying on the eight-thousand-mile Yunling Mountains as a barrier, it is connected with the Iron Blood City in the northern Xinjiang.

The Great Zhou Dynasty and the blood barbarians have been confronted here for 30 years. In the entire northern battlefield, countless soldiers die every year.

The Tianxing Beacon Tower where he is located is thousands of miles away from Tianshi Pass in the westernmost part of the mountain range, although it is not the most dangerous place.

But from time to time, the elites of the barbarians will come to loot. The entire beacon tower needs to be rebuilt three times in a year, which shows how dangerous it is.

The Lu family is going to put themselves to death.

Think here and here.

A flash of determination flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and the more he faced such adversity, the more he had to persevere.

He also has a mother, who has now been kicked out of the family and is waiting for him to return in a cold kiln.

He once said that he wanted to earn her a favor.

"Must persevere!"

Lu Yu used his last strength and said to himself, and at the same time he came under the beacon tower.

It is said to be a beacon tower, but it is actually a small fortress, only the size of an ordinary yard, but the walls are five meters high and one meter thick.

It is built from nearby Yellowstone.

It was covered with marks of slashing with knives and axes.

There is also a little blood, which is said to be left by the last wave of soldiers stationed at the beacon tower.

Now, the corpse of the comrade will be buried under this fortress.

This is the fate of almost every generation of watchmen.

"boom!"

Lu Yu, who was exhausted, fell to the ground together with Paoze's corpse.

Then, he said to the other half-dead warriors who were equally tired all around.

"After taking a break, bury the body as soon as possible, otherwise we will be trapped for several days, or we will be trapped in a while!"

After receiving Lu Yu's order, everyone else nodded.

Then enjoy the rare leisure.

At this moment, I feel extremely satisfied.

Looking at their young faces, Lu Yu couldn't bear it. He had lived two lifetimes, but they, maybe one day, would be buried under this beacon tower.

But then he shook his head, let's take care of himself first, maybe after the system is activated, he can take them to survive.

After a while, everyone stood up consciously and began to bury the bodies. The atmosphere was very dull.

Because, when looking at the corpse, they can't help but think of themselves.

When he came, the same blood, the same passion, Fenghou Baijiang seemed to be right in front of him.

But after experiencing blood and fire, who is not the foundation of this beacon tower?

And just after Lu Yu and a few soldiers buried Paoze's body in a dull atmosphere.

There was a roar behind him.

The sound of the chariot was like rain beating on the slate, and under the scorching sun, a bright and elegant reflection of the carriage appeared.

Around the carriage, it is wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk to block the wind and sand, and the window inlaid with gold and treasures is covered by a curtain of light blue crepe, showing a sense of mystery.

Pulling the cart were two Yunyan beasts covered with black scales, their muscles tense, walking on this wasteland as if walking on flat ground, known as traveling thousands of miles a day.

Nowadays, it is too extravagant to use it as a horse.

In short, this carriage is full of extravagance, which is in stark contrast to the barren frontier and seems out of place.

On both sides of the car, there were eight knights each, and the red-scaled armour leaf flashed an icy light, looking like a beating flame from a distance.

The war spears made of red iron were faintly facing both sides, ready to fight at any time, and the breath on his body was revealed, so that the surrounding soldiers who were guarding the beacon all held their breaths and stood aside carefully, looking extremely cramped.

If they just encountered these armored soldiers, even if they only deal with one, they are afraid that they will already be dead.

Although this car is driving, there is no family badge.

But everyone knows that this must be a noble person in Beijiang City.

Just as the embarrassed warriors flashed uneasiness in their eyes, a woman stepped out of the car.

The first thing that catches the eye is the long red dress, which is extremely dazzling in this desolate desert.

When Lu Yu took a closer look, he saw the woman's long, jet-black hair slipping down.

A crystal clear jade hairpin, pinned loosely behind his head.

There is also a golden step shaker next to it, and the beadwork above it tremblingly hangs down.

Long hair floating between, revealing a beautiful appearance.

There were tiny beads of sweat on the crystal clear forehead.

When he raised his head, Lu Ya realized that he was an acquaintance.

"Sister Ling, why are you here!"

When the voice sounded, he subconsciously took a few steps forward.

However, they stopped a foot away from the woman. The leather armor, which had not been washed for half a month, was covered with blood and sand. The two stood together, and the gap was too stark.

His approach seemed to have become a blasphemy.

This woman is not Lu Yu's biological sister, but in the past it did make him feel the warmth he had never felt before.

The other party's name is Xiao Hongling. The two have known each other for three years, and they treat Lu Yu very well.

Every time he was beaten by the disciples of the General's Mansion, the woman would rub medicine on him and comfort him softly.

In Lu Yu's heart, Xiao Hongling was just like his own relatives.

I just didn't expect that when he was assigned to this place, the other party would actually come to see him.

At this time, the nose could not help a little sour.

"Sister Ling, what are you doing here, the border is very dangerous.

And in such a bitter cold place, it must have been a long journey on the road! "

"It's not your fault. I didn't say a word when I left. Sister, I had to be cheeky and found it myself!"

Xiao Hongling said softly, her crystal-clear palms slapped the dust on Lu Yu's body at the same time, and she didn't mean to dislike it at all.

There was even a hint of distress in the beautiful eyes.

This tenderness made Lu Yu's brothers dumbfounded. After reacting, they slowly returned to the fortress, leaving time for the two of them.

The knights around were also forming a circle from a distance to be on guard.

Try not to let the dust around you disturb the men and women inside.

Lu Yu didn't pay attention to this, just looked at Xiao Hongling with some embarrassment.

"Sister Ling, it's wrong for me to leave without telling me, but I'm the son of my son-in-law, and now I've been sent to the border again, we...!"

"Don't say this, you and I have known each other for three years, do you think I will despise your identity?"

Xiao Hongling interrupted Lu Yu's words and did not let him continue.

She knew the other's temper too well, and was worried that Lu Yu would say something irreversible.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Hongling's voice, Lu Yu quickly shook his head.

An eager look appeared on his face, as if he wanted to explain.

But Hongling didn't give him a chance to explain.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, don't say those unpleasant things.

This time I came here to bring you some changes of clothes and something you like to eat! "

As he said that, he took off a large package from the carriage, which was full of clothes. When Lu Yu was most moved, from the exposed corners, he could see that there were several pieces of underwear inside.

Xiao Hongling's carefulness and thoughtfulness are vividly reflected at this time.

Then there is a huge food box.

This time, Lu Yu didn't enjoy it alone, he kept a few stir-fries made by Xiao Hongling himself.

Everything else was distributed to the brothers under him.

It caused jubilation in the fortress.

Then, under Xiao Hongling's watch, Lu Yu ate the food cleanly.

He knew in his heart that this was what the other party liked to see the most.

Sure enough, a smile appeared on Xiao Hongling's face.

Then, he took out a delicate handkerchief in his hand.

Lu Yu didn't hesitate. After wiping his mouth, he stuffed it back into Xiao Hongling's hands again.

The other party does not dislike it either.

Instead, he looked at him and said softly.

"In addition to seeing you this time, I have another mission.

This time, the Beijing Academy arranged a lot of disciples to come to the border for training, and I was one of them.

So I left after a while to meet up with the teachers and classmates of the school.

After the experience is over, I must find a way to let you return to the city to serve.

You stay for a few days! "

The Northern Academy, which is the largest in the northern border, is no weaker than the Imperial City Academy.

Those who can study in it are either rich or expensive.

After hearing the voice, Lu Yu said slowly.

"Sister, although I don't know what your family does.

But don't be embarrassed by me.

Don't come to this kind of place in the future.

It's too dangerous. I'll come to you when my brother is appointed a prince one day! "

Lu Yu lowered his head and said.

Then, the fragrant wind blows.

"Giggle, you're so ambitious, then I'll wait for the day you'll be named a marquis!"

When Lu Yu raised his head, he realized that Xiao Hongling had already gotten into the carriage.

At this time, he waved towards him again.

"It's just that I'm worried that the time is too long, and my sister can't wait! So you'd better listen to my arrangements first!

This handkerchief is left for you. This is the ten thousand year silk handkerchief that my mother left for me. I gave it to my husband. You can keep it and take it out when you miss me!

If so, if one day you don't like it, or regret knowing me, remember to give it back to me! "

After speaking, a blush appeared on his face.

Then, the carriage slowly drove away.

The back of watching the other party's departure is getting longer and longer.

Lu Yu couldn't help sighing, it was the hardest to accept the grace of a beauty, Xiao Hongling's appearance was like a warm house in the icy world, how could he bear the burden.

When Xiao Hongling and the others' team completely disappeared, Lu Yu returned to the fortress and found a comfortable place to lie down under the envy of the other soldiers.

Holding the handkerchief, feeling the warmth and fragrance conveyed in it, a smile appeared on his resolute face.

"Boss, is that noble person your daughter-in-law? I really have nothing to say to you! If Lao Yuan has such a handsome face, it would be worth dying for her!"

The old soldier on the side said with a smile, his voice was a little hoarse, he stuck out a hideous head, and opened his mouth with no front teeth, causing Lu Yu to suffocate for a while.

He is the only person on the beacon tower who has survived for two years without dying. Even if the beacon tower is broken, he can live unharmed every time. He is definitely an old fritter in the frontier land.

And when he stayed here, the most important task was to maintain the sky mirror, a treasure that could reflect scenes thousands of miles away, and every beacon tower would be equipped with it.

It is also the most precious thing that ordinary warriors can have access to.

Just when Lu Yu was annoyed by this old fried dough stick, he interrupted his thoughts and was about to teach the other person a lesson.

Lao Yuan's face changed.

"No, there are enemies!"

Then, I saw the sky-viewing mirror hanging on the high platform, at this time, it actually emitted a faint light.

Lu Yu didn't dare to hesitate and jumped up.

Follow Lao Yuan towards the Observation Mirror.

When the latter adjusted the angle, an image appeared on the sky-viewing mirror with a diameter of one meter.

"Boom!"

In their ears, there was a faint sound of iron hoofs, and the entire fortress was shaking slightly.

On the sky-viewing mirror, there was a billowing cloud of blood, and dozens of miles away from the beacon tower, a black torrent galloped away, it was a barbarian iron cavalry.

Quantity cannot be calculated.

"Not good! If I guessed correctly, the place where the barbarians go is in the same direction as Miss Xiao!"

Lao Yuan exclaimed, his face turned pale.

The entire fortress fell into silence, and everyone's heartbeat was clearly audible.

Finally, he focused his eyes on Lu Yu.

Want to know the other person's decision.

At the same time, the sound of the system sounded in Lu Yu's mind at the same time.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the sign-in system is officially activated, and the host will receive a system gift package, may I ask if it is enabled now!"
