The decay of the true behavior comes from the big orders, and they are integrated into one body. They are as dense as the arsenal of spears and halberds. The wind god is stricter than Zhishui, and the polish is less than that of Yu Shinan. , He looked at the two kings, he could be moved, but he was frightened to jump into the horse, and he did not avoid danger, which hurt his elegance." ~
