The Cambrian Pass guards Gao Zhuxu, who has a long reputation in the Nine Provinces Alliance, and the army is subordinate to Hou Feng Wang Shen Zhengfeng, but has military and political power independent of the princely system, and can command any affairs of the Cambrian Pass without passing anyone's orders. During his tenure for more than ten years, the Southern Rejection of the Qin Dynasty invaded hundreds of times, and he won surprisingly victories in many key battles, and was known for his long-term victory.

When Gao Zhuxu stood here, the people in the street couldn't help but be solemn, in the Cambrian Pass Gao Zhuxu's name is noble and noble, because it is he who protects the country's borders hundreds of thousands of people to survive, it is not an exaggeration to say, Gao Zhuxu is the god of the people of Cambrian Pass, no one can slander, no one can slander.

The four of them stopped one after another, Jiang Ming watched the changes in the expressions of the people around him, and his evaluation of Gao Zhuxu became complicated again: "The number of white bones of soldiers piled up in the Lost Age Peak is not caused by him? Or, what kind of hardship does he have? The people love and trust him so much, what kind of person is he?"

Liu Tianba and Zhao Pengfei walked over with ashamed faces, and without saying a word, all the previous domineering spirit dissipated, and at this time, they were like children in a depressed mood.

"As a high-ranking general in the army, he disregarded military law and wantonly fought with the people and destroyed the livelihood of the people, do you know the guilt?" Gao Zhuxu said in a strong voice, and the vicissitudes and calmness that should be in the year of confusion were vividly expressed in him.

Zhao Pengfei and Liu Tianba bowed their heads and said: "We are willing to lead the army for sixty years, and the economic losses of the people will be deducted from our money." ”

Gao Zhuxu nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Stand down!" The two walked away stupidly, although they were arrogant and arrogant, they only had obedience in front of Gao Zhuxu.

"Jiang Ming, I came to invite you myself this time, would you like to go to my military camp for a banquet?"

At this time, the battle was temporarily suspended, and Wen Yaliang and Shen Yiwei walked to Jiang Ming and Lin Han together, not only to show their positions, but also to show their identities.

"General Gao, I don't know what you have to advise?" Jiang Ming treated people politely, after all, Gao Zhuxu was not comparable to Liu Tianba and his ilk, if he was angered, this Cambrian Pass would have no place for them.

"Do you know Jianying?" Gao Zhuxu's words made Jiang Ming's face change slightly, if he was an enemy or a friend, where could he know this title?

Lin Han and the three of them were stunned when they saw Jiang Ming, speculating about Jiang Ming's identity in their hearts, Shen Yiwu took a step forward at this time, bowed down and said, "Uncle Gao, can you allow me to save face and let Jiang Ming go?"

Gao Zhuxu smiled indifferently and responded: "Did I say that I would embarrass him?" Jiang Ming, if you are willing to come, you will come to the barracks to find me in a while, I have something to ask you, if you are not willing to come, forget it. After Gao Zhuxu finished speaking, he waved his hand to instruct his subordinates to retreat, and he stood in the middle of the street, clenching his fists and said: "Ladies and gentlemen of Cambrian Pass, today is my discipline of my subordinates is not strict, if it causes losses to you, please go to the government office to register one by one, and I will compensate you for the truth!"

After a while, the sergeants and civilians dispersed, and Jiang Ming and the four walked unnaturally on the street, watching the night slowly fall like a curtain.

"Jiang Ming, if you can't be sure of his purpose, don't take risks. Lin Han frowned, and he was also secretive about the so-called Cambrian Customs barracks.

"Otherwise, don't go, seeing that you are so arrogant, if you really do something to offend Uncle Gao, it won't work with a few words from me. You know, the general treated me with respect, only when I was a relative of an old friend. Shen Yi was worried for a moment, and worry was already written between his eyebrows.

"The Yin Qi of the Ageless Peak gathers, maybe it is his reason, if you take the risk to go, there may be some accidents. "Although Wen Yaliang is a scholar, he is extremely thoughtful.

Jiang Ming smiled, rolled up his sleeves in a free and chic manner, exhaled lightly, and said, "Don't think about it so much, I've been hungry for a day, hurry up and eat!"

Jiang Ming still went to the barracks, the four of them had dinner very little, Jiang Ming comforted a few people one by one, and Wen Yaliang went to a friend's house, Lin Han also returned to the previous house, but Shen Yiwei insisted on following on the grounds of knowing a few people in the army.

The Cambrian Pass barracks garrisoned 50,000 soldiers, infantry and cavalry stationed in the north and south respectively, forming horns to take care of each other, and forming a double calyx to achieve rapid support for the Cambrian Pass.

"I'm Jiang Ming, I'm invited to come, please tell General Gao. Jiang Ming and Shen Yiwu stood in front of the high fortifications of the barracks, looking a little overwhelmed, not knowing whether they were shocked by the loud slogans in the camp, or frightened by the thick blood carried by the soldiers guarding the gate.

"You are Jiang Ming, good boy, even our two generals dare to fight, haha, admire and admire. The general has already explained, I'll take you there!" The gatekeeper did not make it difficult for them, but laughed arrogantly and started gossiping, and that kind of heroic and broad mind was extremely obvious in this ordinary soldier.

Jiang Ming didn't dare to boast anymore, and made a helpless shrug at Shen Yiwei, and followed the soldiers towards the depths of the barracks.

The neat team of the phalanx ran past Jiang Ming's eyes in turn, and the majestic posture made Jiang Ming a little envious and fascinated, they may not be his generals alone, but the entire army together is like an undefeated lion, not to mention the martial arts masters of the eighth stage, even some strong people in the status realm can't help but change color.

The soldiers who practice cavalry archery and cavalry combat are in good shape, the soldiers who practice spearmanship and knife skills are as steady as a rock, the war horses gallop and step on the dust, and the swords and guns dance in the cube, these soldiers who have lived in the border pass for a long time push the training method to the peak with a resolute and fierce attitude, and what is presented in front of Jiang Ming is an extraordinary iron-blooded army.

"You envy these soldiers?" Shen Yiwu asked tentatively when he saw the different colors in Jiang Ming's eyes. Jiang Ming's eyes shone with an indescribable light, he stopped, and said, "You say that people are born, what is the meaning of existence? However, some people are poor all their lives, and they feel happy with a spoonful of food and bean soup, while some people are rich and rival the country, but they suffer from gains and losses, and they cannot live in fear. Just like these border soldiers, life and death are in the war, half of their lives drink blood and half of their lives heal their wounds, and they are still happy and happy. Therefore, this person should have his own meaning. ”

"What does it mean to know yourself? Do you have to go through it before you know it? Do you have to try the Fa to understand? If you still can't find it after all this life, what should you do?" Shen Yi raised his eyebrows into willow leaves, and his eyes merged into a crooked river, but he was still puzzled.

Jiang Ming patted her shoulder, as if to relieve the distress in her heart, his eyes were fixed on her eyes, and he said quietly: "'Your meaning should be to wash away this melancholy, just like your name, you can only really pick up your happiness." Even if you can't do it completely in the future, you should have no regrets. ”

Shen Yiwu realized something, and muttered for a long time, which can be regarded as a note, the words of this seemingly ordinary man may be her only comfort for the rest of her life. "And what is your point?" she asked.

Jiang Ming hooked Shen Yiwu's shoulder with one hand, pushed her to walk, and said with a complicated look in his eyes: "I think, I should be looking for it." ”

In the ancient city outside the Cambrian Pass, a man and a woman wander through the bustling street market, and tonight happens to be the annual Lantern Festival, and the streets that crisscross the city are extremely lively. The woman is about seven or eight out of ten, she is in the prime of flowers, she looks extremely lively and youthful, and with a light green dress and a beautiful face, many men on the street look sideways.

The woman suddenly stopped the lotus step, picked up a hanging tag carved from poplar wood, shook it in front of the man who followed closely behind her, and said with a smile: "It's not good-looking, the mountains and rivers above are comparable to the works of some painters." In the future, when you go to the Wind Yin Sect, you can make a thought, and I heard that you can also engrave your name for free. ”

The man smiled dismally, and said, "Miss, or you will engrave my name as well, and I will wait when you go there in the future, and this wooden sign will also be my meaning." ”

The smile of the woman in the green skirt collapsed instantly, she silently put away the wooden card, and asked hopefully, "Can't we really go together?" Even if we are not a personal disciple, it is better to have you as my companion than to be separated." ”

The man clenched his fists in pain and said in a deep voice, "The Fengyin Sect is a high-class sect with strict laws, and it never accepts those with inferior talents. I also bothered to ask Elder Fan Ye to probe my talent for me, but I couldn't reach that dividing line at all. But there is nothing, the young lady can just rest assured to follow the elders to practice and break the barriers in my heart, and I will wait outside the Fengyin Sect, not leaving an inch. ”

I will stand alone, and I will no longer be a burden to anyone. The woman recalled many memories of the past, and her heart was turbulent again, the person who was a childhood sweetheart, the person who brought her expectations and pain, her eyes became firm again, if she couldn't be independent, where was the meaning of her life?

The man carefully observed the woman's expression, and after all, he smiled again, how could the outside of the Wind Yin Sect allow unrelated people to live? His waiting was destined to be a long way away. However, he recalled that day, in a ruined temple, he hid many jars of bitter bad wine, and celebrated his freedom and abandonment in sip after sip, and he thought that if he was drunk, he would not be drunk, but he was not drunk. Until the old man with the same bleak eyes came to him, he just handed over a jar of wine, and said, I don't happen to exchange it for good wine, I only have this bitter man's bad wine, no money. So the old man drank with him, probably because he was a sad man, and a thought was enough to make friends and forget the year. The old man said, I quit my desire and purify my heart, for a promise back then, and you should also be a flower idiot, and you can be regarded as a lover.

Perhaps, waiting, that's what he's all about.

It is said that the real land of the three walls is favored by Vientiane, and the people are rich and prosperous, and it is the center of the entire Yuanye realm, which is more than a hundred times more wonderful and grand than what night city and ancient Ye city. The Nine Provinces Alliance is located in a corner of Zhu Tianye, and there is still some deterrent power in this northwest continent, but it is still unable to do five miles and one fire, ten miles and one pier, and one hundred miles and one city, and it is naturally several levels away from the prosperity of the three walls, so the fortification of the city is more important.

Cambrian Pass is the world's Xiongguan, there is a long victory general Gao Zhuxu garrison, over the years has not lost half an inch of territory, relying on not the support of the back of the rain state and Hou Fengwang, but the concerted efforts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, so the world often says, "water can carry boats".

Gao Zhuxu had already set up wine and meat in the camp tent, there was no grand occasion of hundreds of swords and axes outside the Hongmen that Jiang Ming and the others thought, and there was no martial artist who intended to take anyone's life with the intention of dancing with a sword, and even the other guards were retired, leaving him alone with an expressionless face pulling the sauce beef on the plate, and from time to time he raised his head and poured a sip of spirits.

"You're here, huh? Shen girl is here too? Come and eat and drink to warm up, after all, it's winter, and it's a little cold outside, right?"

It was like homely gossip, without any pretensions, and the original vigilant mentality was instantly relaxed. Shen Yi leaned close to Jiang Ming's ear and whispered, "I'll just say that Uncle Gao treats people well!" Then she pulled Jiang Ming to sit in the lower seat without taboo, opposite Gao Zhuxu.

Gao Zhuxu smiled indifferently, picked up the wine jug himself, poured two glasses of wine, and said, "Boy, this is the strongest west wind in my Cambrian Pass military camp, but it is not comparable to the soft and collapsed valley Baiyue!"

Jiang Ming raised his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and suddenly felt a hot pain in his throat, as if it was a fire, and it took a long time to ease it before it became more natural, and he knew why the drinking had to slowly enter his throat, so he pursed his lips and said, "The general knows the identity of Yi Wei?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, usually calling Shen Yu directly, but I don't know why she was so close today, which made her extremely uncomfortable. Gao Zhuxu said with a smile: "This title is only called by her parents, Shen Yatou is blushing, you really have an unusual relationship!" Jiang Ming was also quite embarrassed, looking at Shen Yi, she was really blushing, even if she didn't have the physical characteristics of a woman, but she was Chu Churan's moving and alluring posture after all.

Gao Zhuxu chewed a piece of beef, and said: "Her father is a big hero of their family, and he was also a very good friend with me in that era, Shen Yatou doesn't want to go back now, so she can only come to me to avoid the limelight, if I don't know her identity, it will be too unkind." It's a pity that I don't have the ability to correct his father's name, and the person who died in a black assassination for no reason is like suffering from heaven's curse, and the three elders of the Shen family took the opportunity to seize power and control the entire Shen family in the palm of their hands, and the Shen girl could only be regarded as a victim of the family and relatives. The three elders are all powerhouses in the status realm, and I can manage to get her out of here, and let her hide here is the greatest ability. ”

"It turns out that the man in black who helped me when I escaped was someone sent by Uncle Gao?" Shen Yi bit his lip tightly, stubborn and grateful. Jiang Ming, who was on the side, heard such a secret, and was more sympathetic to the woman in front of him, and gently grabbed her clenched fist, and said loudly: "And my friend." ”

Shen Yi held back his tears and looked at Jiang Ming and smiled miserably, like a snow lotus ravaged by wind and rain.

"Don't talk about that. Jiang Ming, do you know why I invited you here?" Gao Zhuxu's mood was also quite sad, so he took a sip of wine.

Jiang Ming said, "Is it for the Yin Qi Gathering Array of the Lost Age Peak?" or General Gao, your true identity?"

Gao Zhuxu said: "Five years ago, there was a person who said to Ben General that Cambrian Pass kills all year round, and hundreds of thousands of souls cannot be separated here, and it is advisable to build a soul tower to converge souls, so that the yin qi can retreat and live a long life." When I saw that the Taoist man's words were enchanting and not good, I ordered his men to be expelled from the camp, but unexpectedly, the Taoist rose up and stabbed me with a broken sword, and although he was wounded, he killed the Taoist and killed him, but turned into a wisp of yellow smoke and flew away, but I fell seriously ill and almost died on the bed. Fortunately, I saw a lizard demon in my dream, and asked me to throw all the dead soldiers in the south of the Lost Age Peak, and after thinking about it in pain, I felt that it was not as ethereal as building the Soul Tower, so I ordered someone to set up the tomb of ten thousand generals with the mountain as the tomb, and since then my illness has also been cured. After that, I looked for a profound yin and yang sorcerer to explain the truth, and there was a Taoist who called the 'burning festival' and said that yin and yang are harmonious, and the north and south of the mountain divide people and ghosts, so the yin qi is scattered in the yellow court, and the yang qi is prosperous in the sea. Later, I sent someone to inquire that this Burning Festival Daoist had established a sect in Youtianye, called the Yin Destiny Gate, and the Daoist who was supposed to have died and I killed with my own hands became his neighbor, and also established a sect called the Yang Soul Gate. You should be curious to know the name of that Taoist, his name is Burning Song. ”

"Burning Song Daoren!" Jiang Ming finally heard the name again, the piety of the fanatical believer in the past before his death was also done by this Taoist. When you approach his territory in the future, you will inevitably touch his mold. Jiang Ming thought like this, it was considered to sort out the causal meridians of the Ageless Peak, but he still had another question.

"I don't know what the relationship between General Gao and the black-clothed tooth catcher is?"

Gao Zhuxu laughed, swept his beard lightly with his big hand, and said, "I am the three commanders of the black-clothed tooth catcher, and the Fang Bingzhu you have seen is the senior brother of this general." ”

At the beginning, the black-clothed tooth catcher Ren Jianying and Fang Bingzhu had secretly said that they were recruited, but Jiang Ming only refused politely because he was too restrained.

Gao Zhuxu seemed to see through the unnaturalness in his eyes, and explained with a smile: "Do you think that I am going to forcibly invite you to join the black-clothed tooth catcher? Although you are still talented, you can't make the power of a country overwhelmed, I don't mean to deny you anything, I will inform you of the situation of the Shen family, and I will also remind you of your purpose." This wilderness realm is too big, and there are thousands of martial artists in the human realm, but the real leaders and rulers are the immortals in the status and even the heavenly realm, and in their eyes, we are like an ant. After the Battle of Huangshi, I went to visit my senior brother Fang Bingzhu, who had ordered Huangquan, the purple-robed man, to tear his organs apart with a sword, even a doctor with great medical skills. But he told me at the end that if there is a chance, I will win you into the black clothes and catch the teeth, even if it is a sign, you will have something to do with the black clothes and the teeth. ”

"Did Commander Fang lead him to death?Why did you choose me instead of others, isn't Ren Jianying your most trusted junior?" Jiang Ming felt unclear about the words, and at the same time felt that Fang Bingzhu was far from being as simple as the Ninth Rank Human Position, although he had a very good impression of the organization of the black-clothed tooth catcher, but the doubts in it made him hesitate.

"I don't know why. If you trust us and come to our barracks to watch the exercises for the next 10 days, and if you still don't want to do so after 10 days, how about you just let the matter go like this?"
