The black umbrella kept moving in the streets and alleys, turning and turning in the streets and alleys where Luodu seemed to be regular, and finally turned out of the behemoth east gate of Luodu when the lights were on.

The sound of kicking footsteps resounded rhythmically on the official road paved with bluestone slabs, and many active figures faintly appeared in the shadows under the moonlight, but these figures quietly disappeared in the hands of Bo Yi, who was wearing a black robe, waved his hand.

The black umbrella walks very slowly, but fortunately there are few people in the night outside the city, and the black umbrella in the dark night is not so frightening. After walking dozens of miles to the east, I finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.

There is a stone monument at the foot of the mountain, and next to the stone monument is a stone step that winds upward, and the black umbrella stays next to the stone monument and does not go up.

"The Venerable Master seems to have something to say?" Bo Yi smiled, turned to the short old man beside him and asked.

"The old man just feels that it seems a little inappropriate for Mr. Boyi to push Li Xuanxin's nephew to the surface so early?" The man on the black umbrella turned the long-handled black umbrella in his hand and said.

"It's very inappropriate!" Bo Yi said affirmatively.

"However, there is no time to think about it in the long run, and now that I am back, it is imperative to go west, and what the western expedition means to Xuanxin, the Venerable Master must be very clear."

"That's the knot in his life!"

"Naturally, I had to do something for him." Boyi's voice was calm, and he carried the man with the black umbrella to the stone steps, and the two sat down side by side.

The coolness was imperceptibly sprinkled, and in the dense trees, under the light of the night breeze, scattered patches of yellowish leaves.

"Autumn is coming, and there are more things. After the Battle of Jiannanguan until now, the Han Dynasty has not had a formal military operation against the Western Regions, and the minds of the surrounding countries have naturally begun to come alive, and public opinion is sometimes a terrible thing. ”

"Emperor Shenwu can't sit still, so don't even think about sitting down. The new party has been fighting with the old party for so long, and it has not won a charter until now, and war naturally means interests. ”

Bo Yi paused, looked up at the mountain peaks dozens of miles high, and seemed to pass through the obstacles and could see the people he wanted to see on the peaks.

"So everything in Konghou Fang was arranged by you?" The man on the black umbrella picked up the black umbrella, put it in his hand, and asked softly.

Bo Yi nodded and said: "The two girls in the Red Dust Pavilion were specially arranged by me, and it was already my expectation that Xuan Xin would meet Fang Hou's son, the only thing that surprised me was that Yadie's idiot was able to find Fang Hou to make a move on me, but it also happened to save a lot of things." ”

"Fang Hou has been on the border for more than ten years, and this time I am afraid that it will fall short." The man with the black umbrella said silently.

"In fact, after Fang Shouxin's death, I have no grudge with Xuanxin and Fang Hou, but I can't let Fang Hou lead the Western Expeditionary Army this time, the general manager of the Western Expeditionary Army, I can only do my best to leave it to Xuanxin."

"There is no doubt that the Western Expedition will definitely succeed, but only the results of the Western Expedition are Xuanxin, which can make him feel a knot in his heart and make his vow in centrifugation one step closer."

Bo Yi stretched out his hand to pluck the fallen leaves that fell on his forehead, as if talking to himself, and said.

"He only has the True Realm of Refinement!" The man on the black umbrella stared at Bo Yi and said word by word, as if reminding of something.

Bo Yi smiled, stretched out his hand and patted the back of the man on the black umbrella, and said, "That's why I found you, the Venerable Master, the Heavenly Master Dao will always make people reborn in a short period of time. ”

"The affairs of the court are all up to me, as long as Bo Yi is in one day, no matter whether the new party or the old party, they can't shake the way of the heavenly master in the slightest. I will naturally pay attention to the establishment of a state religion on land and water, and strive for fairness. Bo Yi sighed, and lay back without any image, the coolness passed through his clothes, and among the weeds in the cracks of the stone steps, drops of dew fell, wetting his cheeks.

"Fairness, that's enough. When will the Western Expedition start? The man on the black umbrella was silent for a long time, nodded, and asked.

"Everyone is dragging it, and I naturally don't want to be so early, but even if it's late, it can't exceed the spring of the eighteenth year of Shenwu, and half a year later, the western expedition will start." Bo Yi closed his eyes slightly and said.

"Forget it, it's so high, I still don't go up, go back to Donggong Yayuan."

……

The night is getting darker, and the coolness is getting deeper!

A few candles in the hall swayed a few times in the night breeze that occasionally came through the window, and under the light and shadow, a figure with a long shadow sat by the bookshelf, looking at something carefully, and the crackling candle tears did not seem to attract the attention of this person at all.

Li Xuanxin flipped through the books quickly, there were not many bookshelves here, naturally, there were not many books, so it didn't take a long time, and most of the books had been turned over by him.

In these books, there are no mysterious and mysterious magical techniques in the eyes of ordinary people, so they don't sound too precious, but the books that can be collected in the Heavenly Master Dao Indisputable Hall naturally have something unique.

The night unconsciously accelerated the erosion, and when the candle tears finally burned out and turned into dust, Li Xuanxin also closed the last book, he got up and looked at the wooden staircase that revolved to the second floor, and after bowing, he walked out of the attic.

Next to the stone platform, in the mist and shadow, there were two people sitting opposite, Luo An was still dressed in black shirts, and it seemed that he had not moved at all night, while the other person was lying on the stone platform in rags, snoring rhythmically.

The moment Li Xuanxin walked out of the attic, Luo An nodded with a smile and said, "Now it looks like a cultivator." ”

Li Xuanxin also smiled, walked to the stone platform, and said, "In the army before, I have never really seen cultivators, nor have I really understood cultivators. Later, from Jiannan to Luodu, I have seen many cultivators, but I still don't know much about it, until this moment, I don't know that the scenery in this mountain is unique. ”

Luo An nodded, did not speak, and motioned for Li Xuanxin to sit down and wait, and the time passed slowly in the slight silence of the two, until the sun rose, and Zhong Kui, who was lying on the stone platform and snoring, slowly woke up.

"When you're old, you just can't stand the toss, this little pink, it's too prodigal, tsk." Zhong Kui raised his cuffs, wiped the saliva dripping on his chest, and said with a wink.

"Well, by the way, the dwarf mule with the black umbrella asked me to bring you a message, saying that you should at least reach the realm of the second realm within half a year."

"The Western Expedition is about to begin!"

The last sentence is still giggling, but when it comes to the Western Expedition, it is this eclectic cute and respectable old man, who also reined in all his smiles and has a serious face.

Li Xuanxin was slightly stunned, without thinking too much, he knew what Zhong Kui's words meant, and naturally knew that behind these words, there was someone who paid how much.

"You have a good brother, you have a fairly good sect, and most importantly, you have a strong self! There's nothing that can't be done. ”
