Chapter 129: Seeing Through
For the ordinary people of the Northern Plains, hope is such a strange word, they have no power and power, they can't get any resources from the Northern Underworld Sect, many things are really forced to do so, and now that there is a good way out, how can they not be overjoyed.
Looking at the young man beside her who was full of sunshine, Shangguan Li had a new understanding of him, and she couldn't help but think that this might be the reason why the predecessors of the War Spirit liked him, right? Maybe one day, he would really be able to be generous and brilliant in this era of the end of the spirit!
Shangguan Li turned around and got on the horse, Cheng Xiaoxi was still standing on the sand sea looking at the direction of the robbers' retreat, Zi Ye may have been wronged by the war spirit, and rushed to Cheng Xiaoxi's side at this time, "woo" and screamed, and the war spirit disdained it and put his head to the side.
"Not up yet?"
Shangguan Li's voice came from behind him, Cheng Xiaoxi took a few breaths, then turned around, and looked at the woman in front of him with a crimson face and a shy expression, he coughed, pretending not to understand: "Where did you come from?"
The four eyes next to him watched, Shangguan Li felt embarrassed, and took the initiative to invite all her determination, but she didn't expect this thing to ask knowingly, pretending to be simple and ignorant.
She gritted her teeth and said loudly, "Isn't it that you giving away that horse to settle your heart?"
Seeing that he was recognized, Cheng Xiaoxi simply didn't pretend, Shangguan Li's ice and snow intelligence was not fake, he smiled "hehe", and then tiptoed over, seeing him coming, Shangguan Li stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Come up!"
Cheng Xiaoxi's heart warmed, giving birth to infinite warmth, he took a deep breath, and then pressed his full heat on Shangguan Li's soft and cold hands.
The horse was really galloping this time, carrying two people on its back, which directly added a lot of burden to it, feeling the heat behind it, as if it was about to melt all the coldness of Shangguan Li over the years.
She blinked, a smile on her lips, and then closed her eyes and let Cheng Xiaoxi hold him in her arms.
Love, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, sometimes shy, Shangguan Li and Cheng Xiaoxi are the last at this time, the two remain silent like a heart, allowing each other's body temperature to pass emotions back and forth.
Under the blue sky, a horse struggled to open its four hooves, and kept approaching in the direction of the sword gate, and immediately covered with a transparent light curtain, in a circular shape, and the two of them were like chicks in the eggshell, so demure, natural and extremely harmonious.
In the sky above the desert, their conversation kept coming.
"Xiaoxi, you're really bad at learning!"
"What a thing. ”
"Hmph! You used to be shy when you saw me. ”
"Uh, really?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Maybe I pretended to be it!"
"Oh?"
"Shhh...... Don't pinch, don't pinch, it's because I've changed. ”
"Then I want you to change back!"
"This ......"
......
The two of them flirted and scolded, but the predecessor of the war spirit took its newly recruited followers to the front, no way, its old man has not lived enough, if he stays with these two people, he is afraid that it will not be much better if he is not soured to death, but how can this kid become so slippery, even its old man has not seen his true face, it is really terrible.
The war spirit galloped forward hatefully, and every now and then it was about to open its mouth to curse, and not far behind it was the purple night following closely, and the two of them could no longer see their shadows.
"Since you follow this kid, you have to do the duties of the people around you, from today on, as long as these two meet, you will ......"
Although Zi Ye couldn't speak, he also opened his mind, and he didn't dare to disobey the words of the predecessor of the war spirit, and even he felt that it made sense, the war spirit was gushing in front, and it nodded and echoed in the back, and the two reached a consensus on something very casually.
The commander of the Xiling guards died, and the Shangguan family did not continue to appoint people to hold this position, and Shangguan Li would not allow anyone else to take over Wei Zisheng's position, so the position of the commander of the guards became a swan song, and it was idle forever, and Wei Zisheng's name was engraved on the wall of Jianmen Pass for all Xiling people to mourn and worship.
The three big characters are made of gold, located on the outer wall on the left side of Jianmen Pass, two zhang high from the ground, each of which is the size of a dustpan, with incense candles and the like below, and a few rows of small characters written under the name, recording Wei Zisheng's origin, position, and his brilliant deeds.
At this time, there were dozens of people outside the wall of Jianmen Pass, led by Liu Zheng, all of whom held different positions in the army, and their expressions were different, or sad, or regretful, or reminiscing, or angry, and they made such a move to mourn Wei Zisheng.
Retracting his gaze from looking outside the gate, Liu Zheng raised his head and looked at the three big characters on the city wall and said in a low voice: "Zisheng, your princess is back." ”
No one answered him, Wei Zisheng's three big words bloomed quietly, Liu Zheng shook his head, and sighed again: "Yes, you kid is like this, except for talking a lot in front of the princess, it is this dead to everyone." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Zheng repeated twice excitedly, "Dead!
After saying that, Liu Zheng shook his hands and walked towards the galloping horse, and when the horse got closer, Liu Zheng's eyes shrank suddenly, but he saw two figures on the horseback.
He had seen Cheng Xiaoxi in southern Xinjiang, this son was also an unborn genius, and the image left for him was not bad, but no matter how outstanding Cheng Xiaoxi was, he couldn't see this person so close to the princess, let alone in front of the generals, in front of Wei Zisheng, who did not hesitate to die in order to protect the princess.
Liu Zheng quickly controlled his emotions, he greeted the horse, first stretched out his hand to hold Shangguan Li down, and then said to Cheng Xiaoxi, who was still on horseback: "How can Lord Cheng have time to come to my Xiling, isn't it that the affairs of the clan have been resolved?"
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Li's pupils shrank suddenly, and she stared at Liu Zheng's face very unexpectedly, wanting to see some clues from his face, but Cheng Xiaoxi didn't seem to hear the meaning of Liu Zheng's words, and said heartily: "I'm tired of General Liu's memory, everything is fine in the clan." ”
Cheng Xiaoxi came to Xiling for the first time, and he didn't have any contact with this Liu Zheng in Southern Xinjiang before, because he didn't know where he offended him, but no matter what, this Liu Zheng was an elder, and he worked hard for the Shangguan family, so he could only behave without losing etiquette, and as for other things, he would ask Shangguan Li later.
Liu Zheng looked at the young man in front of him, even he had to admit that Cheng Xiaoxi was excellent, he gently bowed his head, hugged his fists and said, "That's fine." ”
Liu Zheng grew up watching Shangguan Li, his personality is calm, and he is extraordinarily kind to everyone, I don't know which tendon is wrong today, and he suddenly asked Cheng Xiaoxi like this, completely ignoring Shangguan Li's feelings.
Shangguan Li looked at Liu Zheng for a long time, and then looked at the dozens of generals behind him, these people were old and young, but they were all pillars of Xiling, and they all had a white cloth strip wrapped around their arms.
Seeing this, Shangguan Li understood why Liu Zheng was like this, the three words on the wall of Jianmen Pass were so radiant that she couldn't open her eyes.
She nodded at Liu Zheng, and then said to Cheng Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, follow me to meet Commander Wei." ”
"Good!"
Cheng Xiaoxi nodded, and then looked behind him, there seemed to be wind and sand on the desert, and the yellow sand was all over the sky at a glance, where could he see the traces of the two, he didn't say anything, but hugged his fists at Liu Zheng and the dozens of generals, and then walked past the crowd and followed Shangguan Li down the city wall.
Looking up at the three words on the wall, a thick memory appeared on Shangguan Li's face, and after a while, she took a breath and said, "This is the commander of my Xiling Guards, he is no longer alive now......
Cheng Xiaoxi saw her expression and knew that there was another story in it, so he listened to her quietly without making a sound.
"After retrieving the elixir, I was chased and killed, and finally besieged by the seven elders of the Northern Hell Sect, seriously injured behind me, unconscious, Zisheng's brother appeared at this time, he fought to death, and even burned his own realm, fighting against the seven elders with the strength of one person, delaying time for Uncle Liu, and finally besieging the army, the seven elders had to retreat, and I also fell into the hands of the Northern Hell Sect. ”
Looking at the three golden characters, Cheng Xiaoxi had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know this story, and he didn't know that there was such a person who forgot to die for Shangguan Lishe.
