174. Convergence and dispersion, unchanged here (3/3 - ask for subscription)
The horse's hooves sounded from the sky in the autumn rain, followed by the sound of the wheels, crushing the depression of this autumn day.
Xia Ning had already gotten the news, she wrapped her robe tightly, held an umbrella, and came to the south gate in person to wait, accompanied by the maid Bixia and the mountain father-in-law, as well as a column of secret guards.
In the distance, a carriage finally appeared.
Xia Ning tiptoed into the distance, the corners of his lips had a little curvature, his eyes had some joy, the autumn rain was dripping on the umbrella surface, and the wind was a little cold.
The carriage soon came.
It's just that there are some blood stains on the body, and the queen's expression suddenly turned a little colder, maybe because she was angry, she lowered her head, clenched her little fists and coughed a few times.
At this time, it has been a week since the mysterious horse-faced subdued the harem dryad.
The demonic thing has subsided.
There is a legend of the horse's face in the rivers and lakes.
Everything is back to normal.
When the carriage passes.
The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing the young man's haggard and pale face, he looked at Xia Ning, who was also pale, and said gently: "Sister, I'm back." β
"It's good to come back, you stinky boy, it's... I'm scared to death. β
Xia Ning's eyes turned red in an instant.
The two looked at each other, there were too many things, all hidden.
Xia Ji asked, "How are these days?"
Xia Ning took a deep breath and said, "There was a demon in the palace, but soon a real person came to surrender, and now my body is getting better day by day." β
Xia Ji asked, "Then your face is still so pale?"
Xia Ning glanced at him: "This is called white skin, hasn't your sister's skin always been like this?"
Then, Xia Ji said: "Hey, I'm fine, although I encountered some small thieves on the way, but there are three hundred elite horsemen sent by Diao Zegang, the city lord of Jinzhu City, and the protection of Red Cloud, those little thieves can be defeated with one blow." So I'm traveling in the mountains and rivers, and I've been playing for so long, and it's the first time I've been to Bashu for the first time, and it's really interesting. β
Xia Ninghu said suspiciously: "Then why is your face not good?"
Xia Ji naturally wouldn't say that he deliberately did it... He smiled: "Sister, you know, the people over there in Bashu are enthusiastic, and I am weak." β
Xia Ning suddenly asked, "What did you say the name of the city lord of Jinzhu City just now?"
Xia Ji laughed.
Both of them reported good news but not bad news.
In just two or three months, how many things have happened, how many thrills, but they will not tell each other, if you want to say, it is to understate "I'm doing well, don't worry", and that's enough.
...
...
Return to Tianque City.
The glasses lady is alive.
After cultivating for a few days, I began to continue to go to the school palace to take classes.
It's just that Xia Ji's small collective has dispersed unconsciously.
The Li family sent a letter again and asked for a long leave for Li Yuan'er.
Cui Jue recuperated in Tangmen, and I don't know if he will come back after that.
As for Ye Teng, three months ago, his cultivation reached a critical juncture and stopped at the Academy Palace, but the breakthrough didn't seem to have been successful... Not only did it not succeed, but some of them went crazy.
He took a training mission himself, and then he was gone.
It is said that before leaving, he also stole the kendo notes of Yan Xiaofeng, one of the seven seats of the School Palace, the "Immovable Sword Monarch", which contained almost all of Yan Xiaofeng's sword practice experience.
Now that he is wanted, some people see that he seems to appear on the chassis of the Demon Cult.
As for Wang Ao, it seems that he is still in Bashu and has never returned, and even if he returns, it is not clear what he looks like, after all, this hearty warrior has been greatly stimulated.
Xia Ji suddenly remembered what Zhao Xuanyi said in the town outside the gate before, "So fate is really wonderful, it will lead people to different paths."
Oh, yes...
In this city, his classmates are gone.
It's good.
When Xia Ji "healed his injuries", the early winter had arrived, he wrapped himself in a velvet coat early, yawned, or lay on the Xiaoyao painting boat and listened to Xue Qianrou playing tunes, or slept in the martial arts classroom of the school palace in front of the elementary school brothers and sisters to comprehend the "sleepy Zen", or went to the palace to visit the queen's sister and taste his sister's craftsmanship, or was called by Wang Qiqi to nagging and nagging around.
Before the first snow falls.
The Assassin world, the deepest part of the city's power, is undergoing a turbulent upheaval.
Jiangnan Oil Paper Umbrella, one of the five major assassin forces, came to the royal capital for some reason.
Then began a textbook invasion.
Because the Red Mansion lacked the support of the forces on the next floor, it was completely crushed from beginning to end.
[Jiangnan Oil Paper Umbrella] - [No Celebrity] - [Yama Heavenly Son] vs. [Red Mansion].
This is no longer a two-tier force, but a three-tiered force.
Although there were many branches of the Red Mansion, the headquarters was quickly occupied, and the Red Demon Mask Assassins among them were killed, wounded, surrendered, and controlled.
This group of elite assassins with oil-paper umbrellas who crossed the river with dragons had already occupied the declining Red Mansion before the people of the royal capital were aware of it, and completed the unification of the real underground forces in Tianque City.
The rules of the rivers and lakes are that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp.
The Red Mansion is weak and swallowed, which is normal, but it has left its outer skin, and it is still the Red Mansion to the outside, but in essence it has been manipulated.
When the first snow falls.
The 30,000 blue wolf cavalry also returned from the north, bringing up a monstrous snow and dust, and the earth was trembling, and the murderous aura coming from a distance was enough to suffocate people.
The white-clothed general led by the leader was Luo Guhan, the second person in the military department, and he returned to the royal capital to return to his life.
The blue wolf cavalry was stationed outside the city, and Naluo Guhan entered the city with only two cronies.
When he entered the city, it was morning.
Hundreds of officials are waiting in the court for this strong man in the military department who has made great contributions.
And these busyness has nothing to do with the two.
Xia Ji huddled in front of the fireplace of the Golden Cinnamon Palace.
Xia Ning was lying on the rocking chair invented by Wang Du Qijiang, covered with a thin blanket, although it was already freezing outside the window, but the earth dragon made the house feel like spring.
The queen's pair of snow-white long legs were close together, and she was lazily asleep and returning to sleep, Luo Guhan in the court returned, and the reorganization of the Jianghu assassin world had nothing to do with her.
Xia Ji rubbed his hands in front of the fireplace, and after rubbing for a while, he began to yawn.
His eyes lit up and he looked out the window, "Xia Ning, it's snowing outside." β
"Oh," replied the queen in a daze, "is the snow big?"
"It's big, do you want to build a snowman?"
"Don't pile it up, I've discussed it with your fiancΓ©e these days, you can't keep going like this, it's easy to get injured when practicing martial arts, and those masters are too powerful to fight alone, this time you almost had an accident when you go to Bashu, and there are still some of your classmates who go crazy, so don't learn." β
Xia Ji smiled: "I'm a Demon Slaying Sword Saint, I'm very good at subduing demons and destroying demons." β
The queen also smiled: "Okay, I know, you are not only powerful at subduing demons and eliminating demons, but you can also be sleepy, but you are amazing." It's just that Miss Qiqi has a saying that is quite right, she said that martial arts are difficult and easy to be alone in danger, so it is better to learn the art of war, and then you can lead the troops. β
Xia Jiqi said: "Isn't war more dangerous?"
The queen said: "What's the danger, match you with a powerful general, and a powerful strategist, you don't need to fight, as long as you know a little, you can say a few words." Heck, I really regret letting you learn the sword... Until now, I haven't heard you use a sword. β
Xia Ji said: "I... Otherwise, this time I went to Bashu, and my one person and one sword would be enough to sweep the heroes of Bashu. Moreover, haven't you heard the story of your brother's subjugation of demons in Bashu?"
"I heard that you said a few words to the demons, 'Please give me a face', and the demons retreated, doesn't this mean that you were born with a Dao heart, and when you become the king of freedom and enjoy all the glory, you can go to cultivate immortals. Yawn... Not to mention, I am sleepy in spring, lack of sleep in autumn and nap in summer, and I can't wake up in winter and March, I really want to be sleepy.
Xiao Ji, if you are sleepy with the key, take a quilt by yourself, and there is a rocking chair over there. Say no more, yawn. β
