The next day, the withered man left alone, Xiang Tiancheng, who had been talking all night, also returned to the barracks, leaving only Chen Changge and the three of them to stay in this cross-courtyard, if the three of them had a few words of idle chatting on weekdays, it could not be called boring and dull, from Xiongzhou City to Tianmen Pass on the way to run thousands of miles, and experienced two hard battles in succession to overdraw the mind and energy, especially on the day of the military and political yamen, if it were not for the talisman that had been worn for more than ten years, I am afraid that I would not have the opportunity to meet the friend who was looking for thousands of miles, the talisman was given to Chen Changge by the sloppy master more than ten years ago, at first the young Chen Changge was hung on his chest and was heavy, and the sloppy monk blew his beard and stared at the young children to wear it day and nightAfter several twists and turns, the child can be regarded as obedient, and this talisman has not left his body day and night for more than ten years, so that he can survive today.

Chen Changge took advantage of this long-lost leisure to nourish the spiritual power and touch the feeling, familiar with the familiar from one to two, and the marksmanship under the moon, until the withered man left, and several people didn't know his name.

Compared with Chen Changge, Liu Yuanshan is more busy, and the turmoil along the way to find friends is also complete, and he has resumed the appearance of a flattering little guy, serving tea and water to Tian Baiyi all day long, and taking out the dagger given by the man in his spare time to appreciate it, which can be regarded as achieving Liu Yuanshan's dream for many years, the beauty is on the side, holding the divine soldier, but this peerless beauty on the side does not ignore it, and the divine soldier in his hand does not know how to use it.

Seven days after the withered man left, the light cavalry who went to Hongyong Mansion to look for the name of the soldier returned, and brought back a news that shocked the north.

At night, seeing that the city gate was about to close, a horse roared to the wind and dust, crossed the guards of the city, and went straight to the palace of the commander of the Qinguan army without saying a word.

The light cavalry seven days ago according to the military order, overnight to Hongyong Mansion recruiting office to inquire about the name of the army, three days of attack, day and night, late at night three watch to know Hongyong Mansion, just entered the city less than an hour, then learned that the Hongyong Mansion Governor Lu Zhen was captured by the master of the palace, cut off his feet and imprisoned in the prison, Xiongzhou Jingluo personally to interrogate overnight.

The prefect Lu Zhen stayed up for a day and a night, and finally on the afternoon of the third day, he couldn't bear the cruel external punishment of the ape wearing a crown, completely confessed, and was loaded by the wooden cage prisoner car to go to Fenbi Mountain to find that feasible way.

Outside the commander's mansion, the light horseman's face was blue, his lips were white, his cheeks were full of red frozen color, he staggered off his mount, the Xiongzhou horse fell to his knees and fell to the ground, the horse's nose neighed, his hooves trembled and died of exhaustion, the light horse did not dare to close his eyes for two days and one night, he was afraid of missing the military situation ahead, and he didn't care about the report, and went straight into Qin Xiong's study, holding the text in both hands, and before he could speak, he fell to the ground and fainted.

-

On that day, the Xiongguan army, which had been quiet for half a month, was boiling again, and the main general Qin Xiong personally ordered 20,000 elites to be ready to go, and the Qianyuan man, who had been silent for half a month, was waiting for an order from the burly general on the Chinese military platform.

-

On the same day, a guard sent Chen Changge and the three out of the Commander's Mansion.

On the morning of this day, the sky was bright, Wang Laohan, who set up a wine stall at the gate of the city, opened his shop early, and waited for the first batch of drinking guests with a sleepiness that did not wake up, and it was still cold in front of the wine stall for more than half an hour, and Wang Laohan, who was boiling the cold, warmed a bowl of rice wine to warm his body, and Wang Laohan, who was drinking, suddenly came to the spirit, only to see that day's handsome girl driving a horse from the city slowly, and the two handsome young men who accompanied him that day were still accompanying him, but the young man in white had changed a little, and the cold spear in his hand was missing, and there was a six-foot-long white cloth strip on his back。

Wang Laohan was so obsessed to look at the three horses out of the gate of heaven, until the handsome girl disappeared, only to come back to his senses, just about to drink the bowl of rice wine, but saw a familiar figure, it was the knife officer who gave more money that day, and did not ride a horse on foot and walked slowly to the city gate, Wang Laohan thought of the overcharged silver that day and felt a little embarrassed, and wanted to give a bowl of warm rice wine to warm up the well-meaning guest officer, and shouted loudly to the guest officer, let this Wang Laohan shout, the knife-wielding young man turned a deaf ear, and followed the horse's hooves in that place out of the gate of heaven。

The weather in the Tianmen Pass is always gloomy these days, there is little sunshine in the daytime, it may be that the Tianmen has been silent for too long, a morning time, Chen Changge and the three of them rode horses for seventy or eighty miles, the return journey is not as good as when they come, when they come, they are worried about the safety of their friends, and the strength of the horses is unconsciously heavier。

In recent days, I have been familiar with the feeling that Tinghan is divided into two and merges into one, so I simply took some white cloth and tied Tinghan on my back, which is a lot more convenient on weekdays, otherwise carrying a spear always attracts the attention of the people.

The three of them rode slowly, and they no longer deliberately hurried to avoid any more bleak things about staying in a lonely house in a deserted temple at night, Tian Baiyi was not as cold as before when they got along for ten years, and occasionally there were some small smiles, her smile didn't matter, but it was beautiful Liu Yuanshan, and when this guy saw the woman's smile, he was like a spring platform, and he was always disgusted enough to choke Chen Changge.

But in any case, the gloom in my heart dissipated, I felt that this ice and snow were extraordinarily amiable, and I felt that most of the jackdaws on the trees and the frost flowers blowing in the wind were full of splendid silver and picturesque, and I always had the urge to sing a song about the snow in the north.

The three of them walked side by side, black and white clothes sandwiched Tsing Yi in the middle, Liu Yuanshan was chattering to Tian Baiyi to preach some old things in Xiongzhou City, rendering some panicked scenery that women had never seen, it was strange to say, the cold as ice Tian Baiyi especially liked to listen to these old things and the scenery of the summer in Saibei, Liu Yuanshan saw that he liked it, and he talked even more endlessly, and his mouth was dry and non-stop, Chen Changge was offended by his friend's noise, and he eased the reins, and was a few distances away from the man in black who had an extra mouth.

Pulling away from the two of them, Chen Changge's ears were finally a lot clearer, just about to enjoy a moment of purity in the cold winter and snow, Chen Changge suddenly grabbed the reins, and the white horse stopped in place with a neigh, Chen Changge's eyes were like a sharp and slightly sideways glance behind him, and he took out two pieces of listening to the cold from behind him and held them in his hand, and put his mind very slowly to feel the changes in the qi behind him.

Liu Yuanshan, who was talking endlessly, subconsciously looked back when he heard the sound of horses, and saw that the young man in white was upright, with the spear in his hand clenched, so he stopped holding the long sword at his waist with one hand and gave him an inquiring look.

Chen Changge vaguely noticed that the mysterious breath that had appeared many times in the Tianmen Pass that day appeared again, but it disappeared in a flash, not giving Chen Changge the slightest chance to capture the position.

Liu Yuanshan and the two of them returned uneasily and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is following us. ”

Liu Yuanshan was shocked when he heard this, and asked with a loss of color: "Someone else?"

Chen Changge felt the changes in the qi around him, shook his head lightly and said: "It shouldn't be, this person has appeared in the Tianmen Pass, and the war outside the gate has ignited, and the people dare not appear in the Tianmen Pass blatantly." ”

Tian Baiyi's cold eyes narrowed slightly, looked around, and asked coldly, "What now?"

Chen Changge quietly probed for a while but still found nothing, the mysterious breath seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the snow behind him was empty, and he couldn't help but worry: "Let's hurry first, this person's breath is very well hidden, every time it flashes, I hope it is not for us." ”

The hearts of the three people who were originally clear were full of remnant clouds, and they lost the noisy mood before, and rode their horses to distanced themselves from the mysterious atmosphere.

Horses' hooves splashed with wind and snow three horses rushed away, more than ten zhang away from the position of several people stationed on the horses, there was a stout tree, the old locust tree with a hundred years of thickness at all times, the leaves on the locust tree could not stand the cold winter snow and withered, and then the bare branches were left to carry the snow that fell from the sky, and the two jackdaws stood on the branches and looked high, looking at the food that could satisfy hunger.

A young man in Mai flashed out under the tree, the young man was holding a single knife with a heavy fist calloon in his hand, and a shallow scar on his right cheek, looking at the wind and snow on the road that was swung by the horse's hooves, the corners of his mouth were slightly provoked, revealing a playful smile The breath of the qi machine that was restrained slowly exhaled, and the jackdaw on the branch was disturbed by the breath and flew up suddenly, scattering and fleeing.

Since that day and two long talk overnight Xiang Tiancheng is considered to be a normal soldier back to the ordinary soldiers, since the promotion of the guard this half a month Xiang Tiancheng day and night, day by day by the unknown seniors taken away, Mr. Bai Seng gave the ancient books were also accepted by the seniors, half a month, Xiang Tiancheng has been following the withered predecessors, let the meditation and meditate let the sword practice the sword, the early days of the half-understood ancient books are also solved by the withered predecessors, the original obscure words in the man's mouth are extremely simple practice, three or two sentences on the Xiang Tiancheng Daigo empowerment suddenly epiphany, only half a month Xiang Tiancheng felt that his head straight up a lot。

That day, he went out of the city with his predecessors to collect qi, and when he came back, the dry eyes of the man passing by the military and political yamen flashed, and his figure flashed at the door of the military and political yamen to block a dagger for a bystander, Xiang Tiancheng followed, and saw two friends who had not seen him for a long time fell in the military and political yamen, and there was a long talk all night afterward.

Knowing that the two of them had traveled thousands of miles to find news about themselves, and that his father was seriously ill at home, Xiang Tiancheng's heart was bitter, but as soon as he entered the barracks, there was no turning back, so he could only write a handwritten letter and a personal token for his friends to hand over to his father, barely reassuring his father.

Early the next morning, Xiang Tiancheng didn't dare to say more to his friends for fear of being tugged at by the two, so he came again without saying goodbye, and returned to the barracks for six or seven days with the camp exercises.

Most of the people didn't expect that this seemingly thin young man could open a hundred catties of iron tire hard bow, and it seemed that there was still enough strength left, and the military camp was originally respected by martial arts, and this young man was not more than enough to be a guard with such divine power?

Within a few days, Xiang Tiancheng's legion was personally appointed as a vanguard, and he was in the camp looking forward to a life-and-death battle with those northern soldiers.
