[Blurb for Book Two]
“What Qilang wants is the realm. What Junu wants is the people.”
“A general who commands an army must not be softhearted, but he must be humane.”
“Listen to me! Without the realm, how can you protect its people? In the end, the realm needs someone to govern it.”
“With the mountains and rivers as witness, and the sun and moon as our light, let us swear this together: I wish to join hands with you, bring order to the realm, and restore peace to its people.”
P.S. Comments are welcome. I gratefully accept medicine, but please spare me the tonics. Go easy on me when you critique ^-^

More than ten years have passed. I wonder if the author still remembers Koma Nu and Qilang in "Wolf Smoke and Beacon Fire"?
Thirteen years have passed, is your wife still willing to give Junu and Qilang an ending? Looking at the previous preview, they can he... Right?
"Don't you see that Kunwu's iron smelting is flying in flames and smoke, the red light and purple energy are all impressive." What a Longquan sword! The title of this article is "The Sword Chapter", which presumably uses objects as metaphors for people. The first protagonist of the article is Guo Guangting, who grew up from a young man in fine clothes in Xijing to a generation of generals with his family, country and people in his heart. He turned the tide when it was about to fall, and supported the building when it was about to collapse. He withstood the hardships of growth and the pain of war, and finally tempered it into a heavenly sword.
It is worth noting that during this tempering process, Xiao Guo's good nature has never been erased, while his uneducated and childish side has continued to recede. The perfection of the process is comparable to that of Nongfu Spring, which has gone through 270 layers of purification, leaving no impurities, but vitamins A, B, C, and D are all left. The halo of the Holy Mother gradually opens up, blessing the moral nine tin~
In contrast, Li Qilang, the second male protagonist in the article (is he really the second male protagonist? Isn't he a set piece?) Is experiencing a process of peeling off his aura layer by layer, and gradually descends from the temple of morality. This downhill path is really depressing and will inevitably lead to the destruction of the country and the family. Qilang is a noble member of the Tian family. Even if he is not the emperor, he is still superior to others. After he gradually lost the rights to protect him, his pride became more and more "tsundere". Maybe in the not-too-distant future, when Xiao Guo becomes smarter, this little pride can turn into the interest between lovers~
Unfortunately, Xiao Guo is too stupid and thinks Qilang is smart, so he can't turn him around. In the eyes of onlookers, it is not a question of whether you are smart or not. His Majesty Shichiro is always in sync with the truth. If he thinks it is a road, even if a toad is crawling on it, he will insist that it is a jeep! And Xiao Guo, before he turns twenty, I'm afraid he will really agree~
Xiao Guo is the favored and destined male protagonist, and his nickname, Ju Nu, also reflects his expectations. Either a sword or a BMW... Judging from the article, this expectation was also given by Shichiro. Li Qilang carefully cultivated Ju Nu, letting him be his beloved pony and his sword. Perhaps it was this kind of affection that had been cultivated since childhood that made Ju Nu unable to leave him. As personal growth experiences and environmental changes change, this love will inevitably be tested.
Some people say that first love is like chickenpox, an epidemic. Once you get better, you will be immune to love for the rest of your life. So, Qilang must have been a serious case of smallpox to Ju Nu~ Even if it was cured, it would still leave serious sequelae.
This smallpox started in Junu's youth. Since Shichiro resembles a peony, it is not surprising that a 14-year-old child is fascinated by beauty. What's more, this peony is not only proficient in writing and music, but also a very beautiful sword dance. In the days of ignorant love, Xiao Guo didn't have to think about anything. He just wanted to love Qilang with all his heart and be his slave. At the beginning of the chapter, everything was so carefree. Even if there were bad guys, Shichiro would wipe them out with a snap of his fingers. Komanu would do his duty even if he did not hesitate to live for Shichiro.
However, the great rivers and mountains were once shattered. Faced with an unbearable situation, Li Qilang, who fled westward in a hurry, also revealed his true identity. Shichiro turns out to be an embroidered pillow~ and Komanu is a hero with bones. Since then, the strength and weakness of the two have gradually reversed. Xiao Guo's persistence in never abandoning Qilang can be learned from this. Qilang lost his country, lost the hearts of the people, and abandoned Chang'an. But Ju Nu had resented him from beginning to end, but never hated him, let alone despised him. Faithful love is even more precious in troubled times.
Guo Guangting seems to have always represented the truest and best. From before the fall of the country, he fought against his superiors with compassion. On the day of the fall of the country, he rose up generously and refused to give up despite repeated blows. His existence and somewhat silly persistence brought warmth to that gloomy world from time to time. Maybe it's the author's inner hope, or maybe it's the expectation of many people for the cruel reality of society - no matter how dark the world is, there must be a ray of light.
Buddha once used a spider thread to hang down into the Blood Pool Hell to save living beings. Guo Guangting's existence is not much different from that thin thread. The article is very ambitious, using many examples to illustrate the darkness of political affairs and the helplessness of reality. Whether it is to enslave the common people in exchange for military merit, or to surrender the people of two capitals to a foreign race for unification. These things all really happened in history. Looking back at Chang'an, I sigh with sadness.
For many things, ordinary people like us would be as shocked and angry as Guo Guangting. But there are few people who can consistently insist on themselves like him, refuse to compromise, and constantly collide with reality. His heart has never changed. Shichiro thinks this is a pure heart, so he likes it. And I think he represents a kind of hope. A positive force that does not change, degrade, or compromise.
People change, but Komanu and Shichiro remain unchanged. There is always a time when people degenerate and follow the secular ways, but Junu did not degenerate and refused to follow the secular ways. If he relied on the emperor's favor when he was young, during the war, he relied entirely on his own choices. Ju Nu always refused to degenerate into secular life until external pressure caused him to fail, such as when he defended Chang'an. But even if he failed, Ju Nu would not compromise. I think that in the future, the world will depend on him to calm it down. Positive force will eventually help the world and bring peace to the world.
Everyone likes this kind of thing. Shichiro likes it, Mohe Chu also likes it, and I guess no one hates it. Guo Cangyu once sarcastically said that after his death, his sons would all praise Guo as a good person. In contrast, Shichiro has lost his beautiful and elegant appearance, and is selfish, stubborn, and suspicious in his heart. He can only be a common thing in the world. Therefore, both Tianxia and Qilang can only wait for Ju Nu to save him~
It's a pity that Mo Hechu is also a perfect figure. A forbearing minority general with superb talents, a poisonous tongue and arrogance, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. A good young man has embarked on the road of cannon fodder. No one can help him take off his shirt. Nuan Chunxiao. What a pity~ The talents that were also wasted include General Changsun. He is such a sick beauty, but there is no pleasant person to serve him at the end of the bed. People look at Chun Xin like a cat scratching her, and there is no other way out except to choke her.
The article is rich in Tang Dynasty style and elegant in diction. The dreamy rain in Chang'an is light and dreamlike, and the atmosphere in the entire first half is so gorgeous. Everything is modeled on the most prosperous and peaceful Tang Dynasty, expressed in poetic language. The characters walking among them are like entering poetry and painting, giving readers a wonderful feeling. What's rare is that many of the supporting characters and details are also carefully crafted. Guo's mother has a humorous personality, but the ending is tragic. Du Jiu's fate was bumpy. I strongly remember the image of his wife, a noble lady of the Tang Dynasty riding a horse in Hufu. General Pei has a majestic appearance, an amiable personality, and a standard image of a gentle gentleman, etc. The author has spent a lot of pen and ink to relatively completely reproduce a picture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and all living beings, including the gorgeous Chang'an and the ice and snow border; the appearance of many generals and civil servants, the customs of minority ethnic groups and the history of the integration of the Han people, etc. It integrates many fields such as history, military, culture, etc., And deliberately studies the changes in ancient and modern times, and strives to discuss the relationship between monarch and minister, relationship between friends and enemies, and relationship between enemy and enemy. Honesty is valuable, sincerity is difficult.
The first part of the article is more successful, mixed but not chaotic; the second part is slightly lacking, as if the details have not been clarified, and there are too many goals, so it is difficult to unify. I hope that when I restart the series, I can further control the rhythm. After all, as the savior in the love story, Ju Nu can't let go of love with his left hand and career with his right hand
I think if the author doesn't write it anymore, he can tell everyone to save the wait.
I don't really like Madonna-type protagonists, but I prefer Shichiro. Although he is relatively cold-blooded, he can only be a big one. . . .
First of all, thank you Mr. Zhibeiyou for writing such a beautiful ancient style article. I like the style of the Tang Dynasty in your works very much. I like Qilang very much! ! !
Overall, after reading this story, I feel that Komanu is too stupid and has betrayed Shichiro's feelings. Shichiro is suitable for being a conservative king in the peaceful era, but not suitable for opening up new territories. I will always remember the scene when Komanu came back to watch Qilang play ball and ride horses. It was so heartbreaking.
Mo Hechu said angrily: "The Tang Dynasty is really shameless and strong-minded - it's a good thing he wasn't there, otherwise he would have been killed alive!".
Haha, Xiao Mo can't have the upper hand now.
It is true that Tang people are shameless and eloquent, but in fact, Han people are more scheming and eloquent. In comparison, Xiao Mo, a "foreigner", is still too simple.
I have no choice but to beat him or scold him, so I can only get angry in vain.
This chapter is dangerous enough. I don't know whether this army is an enemy or a friend.
When Xu Jing was murdered, I couldn't help but feel sad. He was actually murdered by a friend!
I once had a glimmer of hope, maybe that guy had no choice but to do it, and he would do it anyway in the future.
But there is a long history of betraying friends to seek glory, so we can't really hold out hope.
Now it's a critical moment for the survival of the Zhongyi Army. The situation is critical. I don't know what Guo Guangting will encounter this time.
At this point, the characteristics of this article once again make people speechless. Generally speaking, the protagonist is written as a heroic hero. Not to mention that everything is smooth sailing, at least he can often come back to life, and the routine of "a capable person can do anything" is used to the fullest.
And the protagonist Xiao Guo, Han, has been working hard and trying again and again, but he is always hit, hit, and hit again. How pitiful...
But this man's character is really worthy of admiration!
He refused to give up even though he died a hundred times, he is a true hero! !
Came here to take a look again.. I really like this article.
I'm getting old, and I probably won't see the author able to fill this hole in my lifetime.
I don't know if there is still a chance to fill in the gaps. Teacher, please finish writing the second part.
