Martial Cultivator

The confrontation between the human cavalry and the monster cavalry on the Mobei Plain was the first in the entire history of the human race, and it was also the first time in the entire two-hundred-year history of the Liang Dynasty.

The cavalry army that went all the way from the south to Mobei had already encountered more than one battle. Now almost all the soldiers in the cavalry army were exhausted. But when they saw the unparalleled Emperor Liang, they His body, which had been exhausted, became full of strength again.

The Daliang frontier soldiers fought for the human race. In this icy and snowy Mobei, they had no complaints or regrets. But who doesn't want to be looked down upon and praised by others, for no other reason than to be recognized, so even if Even if you die here, you will feel comfortable.

That's why before Li Changling led the cavalry to go on an expedition, he said that after this trip, he would definitely let the scholars in the capital say a few good words to them and write a few articles to praise them. This was supposed to boost morale. action, but at this point, it actually means nothing.

Because they have already met the Emperor of Daliang, the nominal leader of the human race, the real master of the entire Daliang Dynasty, what an amazing big man he is, but now he has come to Mobei to fight side by side with them. .

Such an honor, as long as they don't die this time and go back to talk to the robes, it will definitely be more worthy of bragging than killing a few demon clans.

To put it more simply, this is something that can last a lifetime!

On the other side of the demon army, another army gathered, led by the high priest and the demon general.

They had met the Daliang frontier army before, and originally thought they could stop the cavalry from heading north no matter what. However, they did not expect that in the end, they would be cut open by the cavalry, tearing open the barrier and continuing. Going deep into Mobei, they had no choice but to continue chasing and notify other demon armies to strangle this cavalry army in Mobei.

But it's still a step too late.

Now the human king has met his ultimate loyal follower.

The high priest rode the beast under his crotch to the front of the demon army. He looked at the Emperor of Daliang, who was in a miserable situation now, and said with admiration, "Your Majesty is extraordinary. He was able to leave safely under my lord. Now he wants to come to our demon army." I can’t stop His Majesty, so I just let Him go south.”

As soon as these words were said, countless demon generals present frowned and made noises, unable to understand the high priest's choice.

The Emperor of Liang did not die in the hands of the Demon Emperor. Of course, they could not accept this matter. However, if he did not die in the hands of the Demon Emperor, they did not mean to watch the Emperor of Liang go south and leave. Otherwise, they would mobilize their troops. What is the purpose of sending generals to engage in such a huge battle?

Naturally, it was to stop Emperor Liang, who was destined to be seriously injured after a battle with the Demon Emperor.

But when the high priest opened his mouth, they were all confused.

Why should Emperor Liang go south?

The high priest did not explain. He just waved his hand and asked the demon army to make way for a passage, as if to let Emperor Liang leave.

He knew much more than the other demon generals. Emperor Liang had been intercepted countless times on his way south. Most of the demon armies were suppressed by the demon clan's big demons. But even so, But he still couldn't stop the human king in front of him. In fact, from that time on, the high priest understood one truth, that is, no matter how weak the emperor in front of him was, no matter how exhausted he was, he wanted to completely defeat him. If you stay, you will have to pay a heavy price, and even if you pay a heavy price, you may not be able to succeed.

But it was not just the unparalleled power of Emperor Liang that allowed him to make this choice.

There is another extremely important reason.

There are also Daliang's frontier troops here.

If Emperor Liang left at this moment, it would definitely be a huge blow to the northern border troops.

This kind of heavy damage is not necessarily just swallowing up this frontier army.

…

…

Emperor Liang put away the purple wild flower and said nothing, just facing the demon army in silence.

Yu Xiyi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This Emperor Liang's courage is truly unparalleled in the world, and he can even impress the demon clan!"

Monk Fang Wai has never regarded himself as a citizen of Daliang, so it is reasonable for him to speak like this.

Liu Banbi, who had been seriously injured for a long time, couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, "Silly boy, what do you know?"

Yu Xiyi was startled. He was still immersed in his infinite admiration for Emperor Liang. Now when he heard these words, it was as if all the blood in his body had been poured out by a basin of cold water. Then he asked embarrassedly, "Dare you ask senior to clarify your doubts?"

Liu Banbi glanced at the dark demon army in front of him, and spoke slowly, his voice was relatively gentle, "The demon army is not sure whether it can stop His Majesty. In fact, in your Majesty's state, if you just want to leave, these days No matter whether it is a hundred thousand monster army or a few more big monsters, it will be difficult to stop His Majesty. If such a peerless warrior wants to leave regardless, there are really not many people in the world who can do it. "

"In other words, the high priest is aware of the current situation and is not willing to make more efforts to avoid excessive casualties?"

Yu Xiyi nodded to himself, thinking that if this was the case, it couldn't just be said that he was convinced. Of course, his own calculations were also involved during this period.

"Wrong, it's not that simple."

Liu Banbi narrowed his eyes and said softly, "The demon clan has set up this battle, your majesty will leave or not. If you leave, will you still have the Daliang border troops behind you? Even if these border soldiers can willingly die for your majesty, the demon clan will not be there." If necessary, we must keep them all, kill most of them, and finally leave a thousand people to return to the Great Wall, and then talk about today's events. Look at the military morale that has been condensed in the north over the years. It will not be dispersed by then. Disperse?”

Liu Banbi sighed, "Actually, in this northern territory, other fame and wealth can't keep people. The reason why these people can survive is actually just for a breath. If this breath is gone, it will not be easy to get back together again. When the time comes, At this time, the entire Northern Territory is in decay. Wherever the demon tribe needs to launch a large-scale attack, it will slowly decay from our own side. "

Yu Xiyi was shocked when he heard this. He was just a sword cultivator. He was pretty good at practicing swordsmanship and killing monsters. This kind of intrigues and calculations by the city were really too far away for him. He murmured, "These monsters , has eight hundred minds."

Liu Banbi smiled and said, "In this world, if you want to live without a city, it's actually easy. When your swordsmanship reaches the sky and everything is just a sword, then you don't need to be smart and everything can be solved with a sword." "

Yu Xiyi rubbed his palms and did not answer.

…

…

Above the snowfield, both sides were waiting for the Emperor of Liang to make a choice. In fact, Li Changling had already made preparations. Once the Emperor chose to leave alone, he would lead the cavalry behind him to fight. As for the final result, ,God knows!

But in the end, Li Changling definitely doesn't think there is anything wrong with His Majesty the Emperor leaving alone now. The life of His Majesty the Emperor is more valuable than theirs, so what's the problem with exchanging their lives for them?

What's more, they had already thought about such a day when they went deep into Mobei...

But, there must be some unwillingness, right?

Li Changling looked at Emperor Liang in the wind and snow.

Emperor Liang raised his head and did not speak. In fact, there was no need to speak.

Needless to say, no matter how high the high priest's status was in the Monster Clan, the two of them were still not on the same level as far as Emperor Liang was concerned.

He took two steps forward in the wind and snow, and suddenly waved.

Then the Emperor of Daliang only said four words, which made the silent Daliang border troops feel excited again.

The high priest's face looked ugly.

At that time, the Emperor Liang just opened his mouth and uttered four words.

Follow me to break the formation.

…

…

Half a day later, only about half of the Daliang frontier troops who had cut through the defense line of the demon army were left. In this battle, 200,000 cavalry troops were buried in Mobei, a total of 100,000 people!

The demon army suffered heavy losses, not because they were injured by these human border troops, but because the powerful emperor's realm was too high and his combat power was too terrifying. He just walked through the military formation. , will take away the lives of hundreds of demon clans in an instant.

As for those big monsters, if they dare to fight with the Emperor of Liang, they will pay a heavy price.

The high priest waved his hand and recalled what he was still thinking about at this moment.

The subordinates of the demon tribe are chasing and killing.

The demon general looked at the south unwillingly and said angrily, "Are we going to let them leave like this?!"

The high priest said, "Do you have a better way?"

The demon general was speechless.

"In fact, we should have thought that since His Majesty can't keep him, then we can't keep him either. It's just that the truth is often difficult for people to accept, otherwise we wouldn't have to pay such a high price. Let him go back, he It doesn’t necessarily mean he will have peace of mind. After all, he may not be able to live well in the south.”

The high priest waved his hand, and then between heaven and earth, in the wind and snow, the vast sound of horns sounded. It was the demon clan calling the gold to withdraw its troops!

After fighting in the north for many years, these soldiers had heard such horn sounds countless times, so they naturally knew what it meant. On normal days, they would naturally exclaim with joy, but at this moment, no one spoke. Their bodies were extremely tired, and fighting against the demon clan in heavy snowy weather was not their strong point.

At the end of the battle, he was actually relying on his energy and spirit to support him.

Where is the spirit to cheer now?

Li Changling was covered in blood. He was holding the euphorbia, which he never thought was a heavy object, in his hand. His arms were shaking and he could hardly hold it.

But he was still very excited. Perhaps those soldiers could not fully understand what it was like today, but he knew very well that this battle, no matter what, would be recorded in the annals of history. Countless blood was shed on this land of Mobei.

This time, it was the first time that the demon clan took the initiative to retreat.

This alone is enough to go down in history.

And the one who could enable them to do this was probably the man who was as tall as a mountain.

The soldiers looked at Emperor Liang one after another, with undisguised fanaticism in their eyes. I am afraid that there is no orthodoxy or sect in the world that can make his disciples have such fanatical eyes.

From today on, they have become the most loyal followers of Emperor Liang.

If Emperor Liang said something at this moment, it would actually be a great thing for morale, but he didn't even turn around. He looked south, leaving everyone with a tall back, and then a voice came out in the wind and snow.

"Take the dead soldiers and I will take you home."

…

…

In front of the Great Wall of the North, there was a general with a weathered face and withered white hair, and behind him were all the generals of the general's palace lined up.

Standing in front of the Great Wall, the general's heart was racing. He had been stationed in the north for many years. Facing the monsters, he could only barely resist. Although this war had been planned for a long time and spent countless efforts, in the end it was still considered a secret. , if Emperor Liang hadn't blocked the gap for them, then a defeat would have been expected.

But now the ending is almost the best. His Majesty returned safely and unharmed. Although more than half of the 200,000 cavalry troops who went to rescue were lost, they still returned through Mobei.

Such an ending was something that the northern general had never thought of.

He was in a trance, and the sound of horse hooves sounded in front of him, and an army was already returning.

The general waited until the army was approaching, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, "I respectfully welcome your majesty's triumphant return!"

A group of generals behind him also spoke with excitement.

Emperor Liang came to the general, looked at the withered white hair on his head, and said calmly, "You are old."

The northern border is so windy and frosty. If you stay here all year round, how can you not grow old?

Every day, I have to worry about the demon clan breaking through the Great Wall and going south. When the time comes, all life will be ruined and I will become a sinner of the human race. How can I not grow old if I am so worried?

The most important thing is that the Northern General in front of him has really lived for many years. When Emperor Lingzong was in power, he was already the Northern General for many years.

In fact, when the Emperor of Liang raised his troops, the only person in the world who could change the outcome was actually the northern general. If he chose to use the northern border troops to go south to King Qin of the Divine Capital, the Emperor of Liang would have no chance of winning.

In fact, more than one edict from the deposed emperor came to the northern border, but they were all suppressed by the general.

It's not that he ignored the imperial power after holding military power for a long time, but because the demon clan to his north is the biggest enemy of the human race. In this situation, he does not dare to divide his troops without permission. If he is involved in the imperial power struggle, it will eventually lead to the demon clan. If the clan goes south, the consequences will be much greater than disobeying the imperial edict.

Therefore, in the final battle, he chose to remain silent and sit on the sidelines.

In the end, Emperor Liang won and became the real master of Liang. Everyone thought he would purge the northern general and hand over this crucial position to his cronies, but no.

For more than ten years, the northern border has been like this, with the general having the final say.

Moreover, in the past ten years or so, Emperor Liang has given greater support to the Northern Territory, and has no intention of putting small shoes on this general.

I am afraid that I had this kind of thought in mind when I married the daughter of the Northern General to the eldest prince.

The king and his ministers do not doubt it.

This is an understatement, but it is beyond what ordinary kings can do.

It's just that Emperor Liang's words are old now, but they have given many people a lot of ideas.

Could it be that the sky in the north is about to change at this moment?

In the past, the reason why the Emperor of Liang did not move the general was because he already had a deep foundation in the north. Even if he took the throne, he might not be able to shake the general of the north. But now the emperor of Liang has taken advantage of this unparalleled power and will not touch this again. Is it easier for a general?

The generals kneeling behind the general thought a lot at this moment.

The general looked at the white hair falling in front of his eyes and said, "I am indeed old."

If Emperor Liang said that the general was old because he wanted him to retreat, then if the general said he was old, even the general would be willing to retreat.

What will Emperor Liang do after that?

Just go with the flow and change the situation in the north?

Emperor Liang said with some regret, "It's a pity that I haven't found anyone who can replace you. How many more years will it take?"

The general looked at Emperor Liang in front of him and said softly, "I can't survive much longer."

This sentence means too much helplessness and too much reluctance.

Emperor Daliang was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I understand."

——

In the carriage, Princess Anping lit a small stove to warm up the cold carriage.

"I have trouble using the talismans over at Tianyuyuan, but it is more comfortable to light the stove. Although you are young, your martial arts level is already high, so you are naturally not afraid of the cold. Sister, I am not good at it. This body is incredibly weak. I’m afraid I won’t live for a few more years.”

Princess Anping glanced at the scene outside the carriage. It was snowing heavily at the moment. It should still be in the middle of the night, and it was still a few hours before morning.

As if to confirm what she said, after she finished speaking, she coughed violently, and her face turned unhealthy red.

She didn't care at all, she just took out a small jade bottle, poured out a pill, put it between her lips, and then smiled and said, "It's an old problem, so it's not a bother."

Chen Chao has been silent. He is no longer too resistant to this cousin, but he still doesn't say much.

Princess Anping asked, "I heard that you grew up in Weizhou. Did the flood affect you that year?"

Chen Chao nodded and said, "It happens to be by the Wei River. After the flood, I had to go far away to Cangzhou. I only returned to Weizhou two years ago."

Princess Anping said with pity, "You were not very young at that time. Did you suffer a lot of grievances among the refugees who were fleeing the disaster?"

Chen Chao remained silent. Suffering should not be mentioned repeatedly in the first place.

In fact, most of the big shots in these divine capitals knew the Chen Dynasty's experience clearly. Princess Anping's question was probably just to find some topics to talk about.

Looking at the flames on the stove, Princess Anping was in a trance. After a moment, she slowly asked, "Do you really like that girl from the Xie family? In fact, women who come from a wealthy family are not necessarily good. My sister is someone who has been here and I would like to give you some advice. If only

I have some affection, but I don’t really like her, so it’s actually a good thing to let go now. You have a special status, and you are involved in these aristocratic families. It’s an inexplicable headache. It’s better to find a girl with an innocent family background to save you trouble. most. "

Whether it's the royal family or those aristocratic families, in fact, as Princess Anping said, once you fall into it, it is extremely easy to get into trouble.

Chen Chao was silent for a while and shook his head.

Princess Anping looked at her cousin quietly and suddenly laughed, "You look like your mother."

Chen Chao said nothing.

"But that girl is actually pretty good. She is the leader of Wanliu Huiwen Examination. I don't know about the others, but she must have read a lot of books. In fact, among these aristocratic families nowadays, who can really be so calm and focused on studying? It's really Not too much, but now I heard that I’m going to practice swordsmanship?”

Princess Anping frowned and said, "The talent is not bad, can it be reduced in the future?"

"How about I call her into the palace in a few days and help you beat her so that she knows that no matter how powerful a woman is, it is useless. She still has to support her husband and raise her children."

Princess Anping talked a lot and Chen Chao got more and more headache.

"She goes to study if she likes to study, and practices swordsmanship if she likes to practice. In fact, she doesn't have to live for anyone in her life. She is herself. She can choose what she wants to do and how she wants to live her life. ”

Chen Chao spoke slowly, rejecting Princess Anping's so-called kindness.

Princess Anping was not angry, she just smiled and said, "Whatever you say is what you say. After all, it is the two of you who live together, but I still have to let her go to the palace more in a few days. Your mother is no longer here, and so is the queen mother." , As a sister, I have to look at you more and express more. "

Chen Chao was a little helpless. Regarding this extremely enthusiastic sister, he thought of his aunt across from Tianqing County.

In fact, the woman who has always had low self-esteem because of her body shape is also a rare good person.

"Finally, we siblings have time to chat. You can't just let me talk. You can't say a word here. Tell me what fun things happened in the past few years."

Princess Anping looked at Chen Chao expectantly.

Chen Chao had no choice but to talk about what happened in Tianqing County in those years.

Princess Anping heard a lot and praised, "You are worthy of being my younger brother. As a guardian in Tianqing County, I am also the best guardian in the Liang Dynasty."

But then Princess Anping asked, "What's the name of the man opposite you? Why is he so interesting? He still quarrels with you every day when he sees him?"

Chen Chao said honestly, "Zhou wolfberry."

When Princess Anping heard the name, she thought about it for a moment. Suddenly, all the smiles on her face disappeared, leaving behind some emotions of shock and surprise.

Chen Chao noticed the changes in Princess Anping and asked, "What's wrong?"

Princess Anping remained silent and did not speak.

After a while, she whispered, "You mean, he is already married?"

Chen Chao nodded.

Princess Anping did not respond, but for some reason, Chen Chao felt that the princess in front of him must be extremely sad at this moment.

But logically speaking, a lazy man from a small remote county in the south of Daliang would have nothing to do with the Princess of Daliang, right?

Chen Chao was suddenly startled and looked at Princess Anping in front of him with some curiosity.

He seemed to remember something.

…

…

At dawn, Chen Chao walked out of the carriage and stayed up all night, which was never a big deal for this young warrior.

The tall groom looked at Chen Chao and remained silent.

Chen Chao turned around and walked towards Zuowei Yamen. At this moment, it was snowing heavily and it was still snowing.

In the carriage, it was still not cold.

Princess Anping sat on the bed in a daze, with tears streaming down her face.

No one knew what the princess, who had lived in the palace for a long time, really cared about, and naturally no one knew why she was bursting with tears at this moment.

——

Weng Quan stayed at the Zuowei Yamen all night, remembering what Chen Chao said was that everything was business as usual, so even if there was something unusual last night, he had no change. At this moment, when he saw Chen Chao returning in the wind and snow, he breathed a sigh of relief. After hurriedly greeting him, he whispered something.

Chen Chao frowned, "Are you saying there is something unusual in the area that the right guard is responsible for?"

Weng Quan nodded and said softly, "It was the inspector who saw it, but the commander's order was that everything was business as usual, so he didn't check in depth. Now let's see whether we should report it to the governor's Yamen and see what they think." of?"

Chen Chao shook his head, "In the absence of the guardian, all kinds of monsters and ghosts have jumped out. I don't think it's a bad thing. The current city of God is like a few people throwing a large fishing net, but it's hard to say whether it can be held in the end. "

Weng Quan was confused when he heard this.

Chen Chao said calmly, "You don't need to think too much. Just do what you do on weekdays and do it now. All changes will remain unchanged here. Then when this storm passes, the left guard will still be the left guard."

Weng Quan couldn't understand the pros and cons, so naturally he couldn't ask anything.

But in fact, there is still a risk for Chen Chao to do this. That is, if the storm breaks out and they try to coerce them together, but they are not involved in it, and when the storm passes, the original group of people will win. Then their life will not be easy.

It's just that Chen Chao doesn't care much about this matter now, because the guardian envoy's voluntary departure from Beijing means many things.

And the most critical thing is not these, but whether His Majesty the Emperor can return safely.

If you can really return safely, then everything you do would be worse than not doing it.

This is a clear thing.

Chen Chao glanced at the misty sky, rubbed his cheeks, and said, "I have to sleep for a while. If anyone comes to see me, let him wait."

Weng Quan hummed.

…

…

The wind and snow never stop.

The dean was drinking and eating tofu stew in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, but this time, Wei Xu was not by his side.

So the dean, who was alone, looked somewhat alone.

But soon, someone came outside the pavilion, who seemed to be the dean's guest.

The man walked into the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. He was not polite. He picked up the bowl and picked up a piece of tofu. He said with a smile, "After eating cabbage and rolling tofu, the emperor is not as good as me?"

The dean clicked his tongue and said, "If I tell the world about this, I'm afraid you will have a hard time."

The man didn't care, and took a bite of the hot tofu. When he opened his mouth, his mouth was full of hot air, "Not many people in the world can really see through your Majesty. His realm is like this, and his temper is like this. Everyone is happy to guess other emperors." We use our thoughts to speculate about our Emperor, but in fact our Majesty is different from all the previous Majesties. He may seem indifferent, but in fact he is truly affectionate. Otherwise, how could there be so many people willing to die for His Majesty? ”

The dean rubbed his brow, took a sip of hot wine, and ate another piece of tofu. Then he smiled slowly and said, "People always like to be smart. How do you, the guardian envoy, know that your opinion is not wrong? Maybe Your Majesty is gifted with acting, and he deceived us all.”

It turned out that the person who came was not someone else, but the so-called guardian envoy who was no longer in the divine capital. In fact, he had returned to the divine capital at some time, but he did not show his face, so that outsiders did not know his existence.

The guard envoy said, "The emperor who is acting will not go deep into Mobei alone. That would be really fatal."

After hearing what the guardian envoy said, the dean was silent for a while and did not deny it.

The emperor who went deep into Mobei was probably the only one in history.

"Then you should still worry about whether His Majesty can come back safely. The Demon Emperor is not an ordinary person. If he were so easy to kill, he wouldn't be so troublesome."

The dean took a sip of wine, and then for no apparent reason, he thought of his disciple, Sword Immortal. He had a great reputation, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead at the moment.

The guard envoy said with emotion, "Your Majesty is really strong, there is no doubt about this."

The dean said nothing.

The guardian changed the subject and said, "I originally wanted to let that kid return to God.

They all tried to train him hard, but who knew that a princess would appear halfway through and put an end to the matter. "

The dean smiled and said, "This princess is actually the most like the queen at heart. She is as courageous as she is kind. Now that she knows the identity of that boy, why doesn't she, as a sister, come out and do something? In fact, you said before Your Majesty can't be acting, I think so, after all, this princess is just following the whims of your Majesty and the Queen."

The guard smiled bitterly. He naturally knew the current situation in the city of God. Those people wanted to take advantage of His Majesty's departure to cause trouble. He also wanted to take this opportunity to see Chen Chao. As a result, it was only then that the boy took care of Zuo. Before Wei could do anything else, he was called to the carriage by the princess, where he wasted a whole night.

That was an extremely crucial night.

The guardian sighed.

The dean smiled and said, "Your Majesty chose to go north, and he may not have had such thoughts. Then, what will you, the guardian envoy, do next?"

The guardian raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He just ate a few pieces of tofu and drank a few sips of wine.

The dean suddenly said seriously, "Do you know the news from the North? If you know, please tell me. I don't have much idea about what Your Majesty is going to do, but is my disciple still alive in the North? "

"Liu Banbi?"

The guard envoy said, "In the previous military report, Dean, your disciple has killed many monsters in the north. His swordsmanlike demeanor is not weaker than anyone else's."

The dean said angrily, "It doesn't matter whether he is a swordsman or not, if he can't survive, even if he is a swordsman, what's the use?!"

The guard smiled and said nothing, and suddenly asked, "Dean, with so many disciples like you, you probably have endless worries every day?"

The dean retorted, "You think everyone is Wei Xu, so sensible?"

But as soon as he said it, the two of them looked at each other and fell silent.

Regarding Wei Xu, there may be many people in the world who really think that this scholar is quiet and elegant, but in fact how can it be so simple?

The guardian said, "Both of the dean's students are very good. Oh, and the girl from the Xie family is actually very good. It's just that one of them has been involved in the current situation. If the other one is involved again, I’m afraid that’s the real trouble.”

The dean naturally knew what the guardian was talking about. He said without hesitation, "If Wei Xu really wants to do something, it is his own choice. He should know how to bear the final result. I will not help him." ”

"Are you willing?"

The guard envoy asked with a smile, "Do you think that with Xie Nandu, Wei Xu can be abandoned?"

The dean narrowed his eyes and said, "Everyone has his or her own choice, whether it's what books to read or what path to take. Even if it's me, what can I do? If everyone listens to what I say, that guy won't If I go to the north, the other guy won't go to that damn place, and Wei Xu won't think so much. In the end, I'm just a teacher."

When the dean said this, he was still being humble after all.

How could the leader of scholars in the world be just a teacher?

The guardian envoy said, "Teaching, educating, and governing the world are essentially neither difficult nor easy for anyone."

After a moment of silence, the guard suddenly said, "Secret report from the North, Qingshi Pass was broken, and the overall situation in the North was in danger. Your disciple went to Qingshi Pass, and then Qingshi Pass was broken. He used his sword to penetrate deep into Mobei, and there is no news yet." ”

The dean frowned and suddenly cursed, "Who asked him to go!"

The guard envoy said, "No one asked him to go. He was already seriously injured before rushing to Qingshi Pass, but he still chose to rush to Mobei and contribute his own strength to the battle in the north. Is this a worthy death?"

The dean suddenly turned his head and looked at the guardian. He really didn't want to hear a word of the words "deserved death".

The guardian looked at the dean with some sympathy and said with a smile, "Northern Army reports have always been slow, so at this moment, I guess things have changed. Maybe he is dead."

The guard was serious.

The dean cursed, "This isn't fucking funny."

The guardian sighed and said, "Compared with this news, the news I am going to tell you next is really not funny."

The dean hummed and raised his head to look at the guardian.

"Your Majesty went deep into Mobei and fought against the Demon Emperor alone. Then the general sent Li Changling to lead 200,000 cavalry troops north to find your Majesty."

The guard narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty may return safely at this moment, or he may be buried in Mobei."

The dean was not stupid. He quickly figured out something and said, "So you want to add fuel to the fire?"

The guardian envoy said, "This is your Majesty's wish."

——

A piece of news fell to every house along with the heavy snow, and the big shots in the divine capital had almost received the news at this moment.

In front of the Xie family's ancestral temple, many Xie family descendants were kneeling behind the Xie family ancestor.

"Ancestor, now is a time of great change in the world. What happens to the gods and the beams are all determined by our ancestors. We, the Xie family, must not be one step behind others!"

Someone spoke softly, with worry on his face. Looking at the ancestor of the Xie family who had always been emotionless, he gritted his teeth and continued, "His Majesty has died in Mobei. We must make plans again. There will be a conflict between the two princes." make decisions!"

The ancestor of the Xie family felt a little annoyed after hearing this, so he waved his hand and said calmly, "Everyone, get out."

After hearing this, the man looked at Xie's ancestors in disbelief and asked in a voice, "Ancestor, this is the most dangerous time in the Liang Dynasty for more than two hundred years. Why haven't you made a decision yet?"

After hearing this, the ancestor of the Xie family turned around indifferently and looked at the descendant of the Xie family who was speaking.

The man knew that he had said something wrong and quickly lowered his head, but still said, "Old ancestor, the glory of the Xie family belongs to our ancestor. I hope that our ancestor will think twice!"

The ancestor of the Xie family did not speak, but stretched out his hand, and someone appeared and looked at these Xie family children.

The meaning is very clear. This ancestor is unwilling to make a choice at this moment and tells them to go away and wait.

"I will wait for the ancestor's decision from a distance, but I ask the ancestor to make up his mind!"

After saying those words, the Xie family's children stood up and left one after another, and soon disappeared.

Watching those people leave, the ancestor of the Xie family sat down on the chair, looked at the falling snowflakes, and murmured, "Are you stupid?"

…

…

Wei Xu sat on the threshold of the Wei family's door, holding an old book in his hand and reading through it. Occasionally, snowflakes blown by the wind under the eaves fell on the book. Wei Xu gently blew it off without saying a word.

Someone slowly came up behind him, stayed for a moment, and then began to speak. The voice was not loud and not many people heard it.

Wei Xu remained silent. After he finished listening, he shook his head and said, "I will not leave the Wei family today. No matter who it is, I will not see him."

The man did not hesitate. After waiting for the accurate answer, he chose to leave and quickly went to inform the visitor.

Wei Xu continued to look at the old books in front of him, but his thoughts drifted to the distance. After a while, he came back to his senses and said softly, "It turns out that having a durable temper is such a good thing."

…

…

In the study room of the eldest prince's residence, the fragrance of medicine filled the air. The bloated eldest prince put down the medicine bowl, looked at the secret reports on the table, and was silent for a long time.

A middle-aged steward stood on one side and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, do you want to go to Zuowei again now? Your Highness the Princess has already left."

The eldest prince looked at the steward, sneered, and then waved his hand and said, "Don't be so stupid. My sister's appearance over there is telling me and the second child that this young man should not act easily, otherwise he will not give her face."

The steward frowned and said, "Your Highness the Princess's face is not worth mentioning compared with the major events here?"

What is there to say about Her Royal Highness, a princess who cannot possibly have real power?

The eldest prince frowned and said displeased, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's my sister. When I was a child, I slipped and fell into a well. If my sister hadn't sacrificed her life, would I have survived to this day?!"

The steward was surprised and thought that there was such a thing, why didn't outsiders know about it?
