Chapter 3 Dawn

The target to be assassinated this time, it seems... It's called Shao Nian?

In Kagami's mind, countless fragments of information emerged with her thoughts.

Shao Nian, the youngest general of the human race, went to the battlefield with his father at the age of nine. Now the town guards the Qingmen Pass, which is where the mirror and Bai Yu will go. He was only sixty years old, but he had the cultivation of the peak of the Seven Heavens.

He was very young, too young, nearly half a hundred younger than the second youngest general of the Liang Dynasty, but no one in the army dared to challenge his authority.

It is rumored that when he first became a general, several lieutenants in his pen who were several times his age were not convinced and threatened to challenge him.

The lieutenants decided he wouldn't take on the challenge.

First of all, because of the issue of generation. In terms of age, those lieutenant generals can be regarded as Shao Nian's parents or even grandparents, you must know that it is extremely normal for cultivators to live for hundreds of years. According to this calculation, if Shao Nian really makes a heavy hand, he must not be called a deceitful teacher and an ancestor.

Second, it is a relationship of face. In that challenge, if Shao Nian loses, then there is definitely no reason to stay in the position of general anymore, and he will definitely give way.

This challenge, won or lost, will have an impact on his reputation to a greater or lesser extent. So, those challengers gave him one last way.

That is, abdicate yourself. Whether it's calling it sick or dying in battle, it's good to retreat. This is acceptable for both parties.

But Shao Nian just didn't follow the routine. Without saying a word, he took on the challenge, and won without any suspense.

And then... Without any scruples, he strangled those who dared to challenge him on the spot.

Reason: Disobedience to military orders. I don't know when he set up a military order not to challenge people with higher ranks than himself, and he came to the yin.

Now, no one can grasp his handle.

Since then, no one has challenged Shao Nian without being very sure.

This is indeed the reason why his soldiers are obedient to him, but it is only one of them.

More importantly, he himself led the army to fight with his authority.

Forty years ago, when Shao Nian was just twenty years old, the city of Lancheng, which he had ordered to garrison, was surrounded by two times as many ghost troops as the defenders.

Everyone gave up, even His Majesty, thinking that it was impossible for him to survive.

His fighters told him to flee first, and they covered for him.

He refused: Where is the reason for a general to abandon his army and run first?

Not only that, but every time the ghost army attacked, he rushed to the front. Behind him were the Terran defenders, who had lost most of their dead and wounded.

One day, two days... One week, two weeks.....

In the end, he persevered. The Shao family sent reinforcements.

From the siege of the ghost army, he persevered until the ghost army was afraid of him alone, and persevered until the ghost army collapsed.

At that time, in the bloody storm, after his soldiers saw the piles of corpses killed in Shao Nian's hands, they deeply realized how terrible their generals were.

He alone can withstand thousands of troops.

Now, almost all of the surviving soldiers have become his private army. In the army under his command, the edicts issued by the emperor were not as useful as a sentence from General Shao.

Even if the position is different, when Jing Zai first learned about Shao Nian's deeds, she was deeply impressed.

When did he seem to think about fighting him on the battlefield as a shadow sister?

It's just a childhood fantasy. Now, he can only assassinate him by the means he despises the most.

Kagami sighed inwardly. Who would have thought that something like this would happen to the Shadow Gate a few years later?

She rolled over and was about to fall asleep, when she suddenly caught a keen message.

He... Surname Shao?

The surname Shao is rare in the human race, but it is very famous. Because, one of the five major families of the human race is the Shao family, which is called Shao.

Moreover, it is rumored that Shao Nian is extremely good-looking and handsome, which makes all women fall in love with him, but strangely, none of the women have had any scandals with him.

Shao Nian is not young, and his appearance is chic and handsome, but he doesn't even have a confidant, which is definitely not normal.

Broken sleeves? impossible. How can he, a general, have time for such a thing.

Then there is only one possibility, he is a member of the Shao family. The Shao family, on the other hand, did not allow him to have an improper relationship with any other woman before he got engaged to the young ladies of several other families.

Then it all makes sense.

Why did the Shao family send an army to rescue him when he was besieged by the ghost army and had no chance of winning? Why did he never favor any of the beautiful women around him?

The answer is: he is from the Shao family.

Kagami rubbed his forehead, a little headache. Originally, I just sorted out the information of the assassination target again, but I didn't expect that so many things would be involved.

Since he is a member of the Shao family, he can only be the second young master of the Shao family.

The reason is very simple: the eldest young master of the Shao family retreats and cultivates in retreat and never shows up. The third young master of the Shao family lingered in the flowers, and there was no woman in the Qinglou who could not recognize him.

And the rest is only a mysterious second young master of the Shao family who has never appeared on any occasion.

That's even harder. was originally a general guarding the frontier, with terrifying strength, and now with a huge family background, such a person really has no way to start.

You know, the people who want him to die are not just people from the ghost clan.

If that's the case, then you can only lurk around him first, become his cronies, and then watch it.

So, when you arrive at Qingmen Pass, let's go and see if there is any need for conscription.

Thinking like this, the mirror fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, although Bai Yu had already laid down, he was still not asleep. In her hand, she fumbled for a token without any marking, and her fingers kept subconsciously rubbing against it, looking extremely tangled.

Finally, she made up her mind, got up, looked sideways at her glasses, and turned to leave.

After a while, she returned, carrying two hares in her hands.

White Feather roasted the two hares over a flame that had not yet been extinguished. Then she paused, looked at the sleeping mirror again, hesitated.

After a long time, she no longer hesitated, and with a flip of her right hand, a small jade bottle appeared. She uncorked the bottle, and poured it down towards one of the haes, which had been roasted.

What was in the jade bottle was actually a kind of powder.

As soon as the powder touched the hare, it blended together, and nothing unusual could be seen.

Bai Yu has been gone for a long time, and at this time, it is dawn.

It seems that just in an instant, the sky that was still dark just now has been flooded with a piece of fish belly white, like the sky is divided, the Milky Way is rolling, or the sleeves of the gods are swaying, sprinkling frost and snow between the sleeves, dyeing the sky, deep and shallow white.

It's dawn.
