In the White Horse Academy in Ningxiao City, the lights were still bright, and the children of Ningzhou gathered together to discuss the matters in the map of tomorrow's mountains and rivers.

Most of them were full of excitement, it was the map of the mountains and rivers of the Tianque Realm, and it was rumored that there were countless opportunities, as long as they could get a little benefit from it, it would be a huge benefit for them. And all of this was brought to them by Xiao Mu and Ah Cheng, who were standing in front of the crowd at this moment, and Wei Lai, who was not present, and everyone looked at the two of them with a heavy scorching color.

The emotions of gratitude and longing are beyond words.

Although everyone had not yet had time to eat dinner because of the discussion of tomorrow's plans, no one complained about it, but they were all enthusiastic and gave their opinions on tomorrow's actions as much as possible.

Xiao Mu caught a glimpse of this situation, and was secretly relieved in his heart, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen Ningzhou like this - work together and unite as one.

In the past ten years, the heavy pressure of the imperial court and the retreat of the state pastor have dispersed most of the qi that Ningzhou gathered when fighting against foreigners, and today's Xiao Mu seems to have seen Ningzhou that once defended the country with death, he thought that as long as there is this qi, Ningzhou will always be that Ningzhou.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu's heart couldn't help but feel a little hot, he sank his eyes, and said, "Everyone!"

Still discussing tomorrow's affairs enthusiastically, everyone heard the words and silently closed their voices, and it could be seen that Xiao Mu had enough prestige in everyone's hearts at this time.

"I have discussed several plans with you about tomorrow's mountains and rivers, and I will summarize them for you here first, if you have any objections, you can put them forward later, and we will discuss them. ”

"First of all, according to the information we have obtained, every time the mountain and river map is opened, the environment inside will change, and it is said that it may be that people are being introduced to some ancient ruins for everyone to find opportunities. The bottom line is that everyone's position is random, which means we can't guarantee that everyone will be in the same place. ”

"And on the Tianque Realm's side, this time they are obviously prepared, and they are likely to have some methods that can get in touch in the mountains and rivers map and converge. The first thing we have to do is to avoid the disciples of the Heavenly Que Realm as much as possible, and then converge together to prevent them from being broken one by one. ”

"So how to converge, there are currently two plans...... Xiao Mu said seriously, explaining the methods summarized by everyone as much as possible in a way that everyone can understand and implement.

But at this time, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his eyes looked at a certain place behind the crowd.

There a man who looked like a house slave tiptoed into the crowd, and whispered something in the ear of a Ningzhou child, only to see that Ningzhou child's face changed after hearing the words, and subconsciously looked up at Xiao Mu, the eyes of the two met, and the face of the Ningzhou child swelled up with a little hesitation, but after a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and made a decision, turned around and withdrew from the crowd with the house slave, and left without looking back.

That Ningzhou disciple is not surprising among everyone, whether it is cultivation talent or family background, whether he is gone or not does not have much impact on tomorrow's plan, but Xiao Mu's heart is a little uneasy. He glanced sideways at Ah Cheng on the side, but saw that the woman's brows were also furrowed, obviously having the same worries as Xiao Mu.

But at this moment, Xiao Mu was not able to express such thoughts after all, he calmed down and was about to continue his speech. But at this time, several servants came from a distance, and after stepping into the crowd, they found Miss Gongzi in their respective homes, and said a few words in their ears, and those people suddenly showed the same hesitant expression as the person who left before, and then made the same choice, and left with an apologetic or reluctant expression.

And all this seemed to be only the beginning, and soon more servants and some people dressed as quacks arrived, and they found their own people, or children from Taurus Town, who were either kind to persuade or sharp in words, and in the end they all got their wish and took them away. However, in a quarter of an hour, there were only a few dozen people left in the academy hall that was still crowded with nearly two hundred people.

After such a change began, Xiao Mu silently shut down, neither stopping everyone from leaving, nor asking them the reason for their move.

He understood that for whatever reason, since they had chosen to leave here and now, they were making their position clear.

And behind such a position, it also means that some things that are still churning in Xiao Mu's heart are now time to cool down - relying on the unity of interests, in the face of greater interests, is destined to collapse.

As for the rest of the Ningzhou disciples, compared to Xiao Mu's calmness, they all seemed a little at a loss, or they looked at each other, not understanding what had happened in this quarter of an hour.

"Now, is there anyone else leaving" At this time, Xiao Mu's voice sounded again.

He looked around at the people in front of him with a calm gaze, and his face was a little gloomy and terrifying.

Everyone was silent, but at this moment, a sound of armor colliding came, and a soldier dressed in the armor of the Sanxiao Army stepped to Xiao Mu's side, and gave a military salute to Xiao Mu, and then said: "General, the head of the family invites you to go home for a while!"

......

"This is the resignation below. ”

"This is the account of the various incomes of the officials for more than 30 years, as well as the bills left over from the military salary, and of course, the silver bills. ”

"This is the commander of the Qingxiao Army, 30,000 Qingxiao troops are still stationed in Manhong Pass, these cubs are very obedient, as long as the state pastor sends someone to take over, there will be no change in the future. ”

In the governor's house, in the dimly lit study.

Ning Luyuan, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, said methodically while presenting everything to Jiang Huanshui one by one.

And when he had done this, he stepped aside, bowed his head respectfully, and quietly waited for the old man's response.

The old man, who was thin and gray-haired, glanced at the few things in front of him, and after a while, he asked, "When are you leaving?"

Ning Luyuan's head lowered even deeper, and he responded in a respectful tone: "I'll leave when it's over." ”

"Is it so urgent?" asked the old man again.

"The news from Xiaochuan's side, Longding Mountain has already arranged for us, vacating a boundary for our Lu family to settle down, since we have to leave sooner or later, it is better to go there earlier, settle down one day earlier, and take the clan to recuperate one day earlier. Ning Luyuan replied again.

"Hmm. The old man who heard this nodded, "It's okay, when you get to that place and settle down, remember that the message is safe." ”

The old man's calm voice echoed in the study, and it was difficult to hear the joy and sorrow, and it was even more difficult to see what was going on in his heart at the moment.

Ning Luyuan's brows furrowed, this is the most frightening and disgusting thing about Jiang Huanshui - you can never know what he is thinking, no matter how many years you have been by his side, this scholar who came out of the Qingyin Academy Palace will always be a mystery to anyone.

In the past, Ning Luyuan would only think cautiously and guess silently alone.

But today, when he was about to leave, Ning Luyuan couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart after all, he gritted his teeth, and finally raised his head to look at the old man, and asked, "Haven't you really reflected on why Ningzhou has fallen back to the point where it is today?"

The old man's calm face like an ancient well shook a little strange, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What extent?"

"The ears and eyes of the adults are all over Ningzhou, how can I not know that the Jin family got the permission of the imperial court, and sent Jin Buyun to Ningzhou with 100,000 Cangyu guards, at this moment it is estimated that he is already on the way here, on the surface it is to enrich the border defense and inspect the people's livelihood on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but in fact it is to seize the hosts, suppress all ethnic groups in Ningzhou, and restore Ao Xiu's position as a righteous god. ”

"The prince was bent on winning over the Tianque realm, forgetting the business explained by His Majesty, and the Jin family took advantage of the situation and got the opportunity to compete with the prince for the first merit in Ningzhou. The flames of this battle for succession finally burned to Ningzhou, and I heard from my subordinates before I came that Yuan Zhichun was furious when he learned the news, and he had already asked Han Mi to transfer the elite of the Black Wolf Army, and spread the word to the children of Ningzhou who would participate in the battle of mountains and rivers tomorrow, if they dared to appear in front of the Hanxing Monument tomorrow, the Black Wolf Army would have to review their clan. Everyone in the world knows that the Black Wolf Army wants to investigate the people, whether they are innocent or not, they can always find some culpability, and it is estimated that at this moment, there are also a large number of clans who are still waiting to recall the disciples in their own clan. Compared with the chance, it is obvious that the fate of the clan is more important. And Yuan Zhichun probably also understood that he had lost the opportunity to suppress Ningzhou's first merit, and all he could rely on was the Tianque Realm, and for him, who had lost his mind, it would not be too much to do anything unbelievable in the future. ”

"Today is just the beginning, under the confrontation between the crown prince and the Jin family, there are not many opportunities left for the various clans in Ningzhou, either flee or cling to ......"

Saying this, Ning Luyuan's head suddenly raised, his fists clenched, and he stared at the old man in front of him suddenly, with a gaze that he had never dared to use before.

There was so much wrapped in that gaze—unwillingness, confusion, anger, and a faint hint of sadness.

"But my lord obviously has a chance, there are countless opportunities for Ningzhou to unite, so that Ningzhou can return to the era of rejecting Daqi in the north and reaching the ghost Rong in the south, and shocking Dachu. ”

"But the adults chose to watch from the wall again and again, choosing to let us fight and be jealous, and in the end, no matter how much unwillingness, the Lu family didn't dare to gamble with the adults anymore...... The Lu family can't afford to lose this battle. ”

"Let's take it as a parting gift, can the adults solve this puzzle for Lu?"
