The day was just dawn, the city gate was opened, Ono Jian was carrying a small bag and waiting in line to get out of the city, looking back at the prosperity of Chang'an City, the golden light smeared by the early sun on the tiles was like an illusory dream, for a moment, Ono Jian gave birth to the determination that I should stay in this dream, and that moment was really resolute, so he turned around and looked at the dream and almost couldn't help but dive into it.

The next breath he turned and came back again, never looking into the city again.

He thought that he would never give up his goal because of the beauty of Daning, and this time in the steamed bun shop made him experience the temptation of food and clothing, it turned out that it was so simple to make people satisfied, just food and clothing.

"I'm going to be a man who will surprise the world."

Ken Ohno muttered to himself, taking a deep breath.

The captain of the city gate guard saw that Ohno Ken's face was different, and walked up to Ohno Ken and looked at it: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Ono shook his head: "It's okay." ”

The lieutenant looked at Ken Ohno's patched clothes, then at his deflated bag, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Come and check." ”

Ono was stunned, he wasn't the first in line, so why was he the first to check him?

"Right now!"

The lieutenant frowned.

Ohnojian's clenched fist loosened, thinking that Ningren was really still so arrogant, and the people in front of him were Ningren instead of Hu Ren, so he had to be called out of the team to check, this kind of discrimination made the resentment and hatred in Ohnojian's heart grow.

He emerged from the queue, walked to the side of the gate, and placed the package on the table as requested, and the lieutenant opened his package and looked at it, and there was another set of clothes that was also full of patches, and nothing else.

"Where are you from?"

"Lou Ran."

"Where are you going?"

"Tibet."

The captain was stunned for a moment and looked at Ono Jian: "Do you know how long it will take to go to Tubo?" ”

"Yes, I'm from Tibet."

Ono Ken's tone was a little chilling: "Excuse me, my lord, can I go?" ”

"Not yet, you wait."

The lieutenant carefully glanced at Ono Jian a few times: "You, are you going to challenge the Hu man who participated in the general competition of the armies?" Your name is Ken Ohno? I probably can't be mistaken. ”

"Yes."

Ohno Jian asked coldly: "Because I defeated several young generals in Daning, I can't leave Chang'an?" ”

"You wait."

The captain didn't explain, he turned around and left after dropping the four words, he left Ono Ken there, and the two soldiers watched from not far away, holding the hilt of the knife in their hands, this was just the norm, but Ono Ken looked like the two people holding the hilt of the knife as if they were guarding him as a thief.

At this moment, Ohno Jian wanted to overturn the Ning soldiers in front of him in a fit of anger and leave, but he knew that it was an extremely irrational thing, and he should endure it.

After a while, the captain came back from a distance, walked to the table and looked at the package with only a set of shabby clothes: "First, I called you out to check because I recognized you, you are already a famous Chang'an, I thought you would stay in Chang'an, and maybe it will be my comrades in the future, there are Hu people in the Daning army, and there are soldiers and horses in the city patrol division, so I think there may be something wrong with your sudden departure." ”

The captain put a bag of steamed buns into Ono Jian's package: "Second, Ning people are not as narrow as you think, how did you get to Tubo penniless?" Find some dry food and you can take it with you on the road, but it won't be enough

You have been hungry since the beginning, you think of Tubo for a future, everyone has their own aspirations, and no one will scold you if you challenge the Daning officers in a legitimate way, don't think so much. ”

He looked at Ohno Jian and said, "If you think that you defeated my general of Daning and caused the Ning people to hate you, then you are wrong, let me ask you, is Chang'an big?" ”

This sudden question made Ono Jian a little unresponsive, and nodded: "Big." ”

"You don't actually know how big Chang'an is."

The lieutenant raised his chin slightly: "Chang'an, it's really big." ”

Ono didn't have time to think deeply about what the lieutenant's words meant, he carried the package and left in a hurry, he thought he was proud to go, but when he went out of the city gate, he looked embarrassed because of the extra steamed buns in the package, as if he had fled.

"Chang'an is really big?"

Ohno Jian looked back again, no matter whether he looked left or right, he couldn't see the end of the wall of Chang'an City, so Chang'an was indeed very large, but the pride of the captain with his chin slightly raised was not only because Chang'an was very big.

After walking for most of the day, Ono Ken felt hungry, so he found a place to sit down on the side of the road, opened the package, and the package should be about a dozen steamed buns. Thinking of the captain's pride, he couldn't help but sneer, and after sending a dozen steamed buns, he sent out a feeling of Pudu Cihang, disgusting.

Disgusting to disgusting, hungry or hungry.

When he opened the cloth wrapped in steamed buns, Ken Ohno's face changed in that instant.

It was indeed a dozen steamed buns, and a silver ticket, the amount on the silver ticket was not very large or very small, two hundred taels, enough for him to pay for the passage to Tubo, he suddenly thought of the captain let himself wait at the city gate, he saw the captain walk to a group of soldiers patrolling the city and said a few words, those soldiers immediately looked at him, at that moment, it was also the time when he wanted to defeat all these Ning people and then leave.

It turns out that he went to borrow silver, so he must have been.

When the soldiers looked back at him, their eyes pierced him like needles, and they thought that they should be killed, but they had gone to borrow silver?

Could it be that the Ning people are the same for every outsider?

Ohno Jian doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to believe it, he doesn't think it's true, how can there be such a person as Ning Ren in the world?

Chang'an is really big.

Ono Ken thought of this sentence again, and suddenly understood...... The greatness of Chang'an lies not in the city, but in the people.

Ning people are really big.

Looking at the silver tickets of those steamed buns, Ono Jian suddenly fell into confusion, the goal in his heart had never wavered before today, and when Shen Leng forced him to leave Chang'an, his goal was even firmer, but now, he became swaying.

What he didn't know was that when he walked out of the city gate, Shen Leng was there.

Soon after he left the city gate, the captain found Shen Leng, who was drinking tea in the tea pavilion not far away, and bowed down: "General, the silver has been given to him according to the order." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Thank you, it's okay, you go and get busy." ”

The captain nodded, and couldn't help but ask again: "General, can't this person really stay?" If you can stay in the army, you must be a brave general who can charge into battle. ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "He doesn't want to stay in Daning." ”

The captain bowed down again and returned to the city gate, Shen Leng looked at the direction of the city gate in a daze, he forced Ohno Jian to go last night, which was the most unreasonable thing he had done in so many years

, He came to send some silver to Da Ye Jian for travel expenses because he was inevitably guilty in his heart, because he was Shen Leng, he was not a villain, no matter what, Da Ye Jian did not do anything that violated the law of Daning, and forced away a Hu man who was already living a very messy life, which is not something to be proud of.

Shen Leng settled the tea money and got up and walked back, two young people back to back, one walked to Chang'an, and the other walked to Weiyang Palace.

At the same time, Eastern Xinjiang.

The general of Dongjiang is no longer Pei Tingshan, but the banner of Pei Zi in the sword battalion has never fallen, every morning exercise, the general Meng Changan will go to the banner of Pei Zi to salute, after returning from the Northern Expedition for more than a year, gradually this has become a tradition among the sword soldiers, every morning, there will be many people under the banner of Pei Zi and Meng Changan to salute the banner together.

Don't remove the Pei Zi Banner, don't set up the Meng Zi Banner, this is the oath that Meng Changan made when he took over the sword soldiers, how could a person like Meng Changan not keep the oath?

Many years ago, when he left Fish Scale Town alone with a small bag on his back, he also secretly swore in his heart that he had sworn that oath deeply in his heart, and he would never forget it in this life, and he should not forget it if he had the next life.

"General."

Yang Qibao, who had been promoted to the rank of general from Sanpin and was also knighted, walked over quickly, holding a letter in his hand: "A letter from Northern Xinjiang." ”

Meng Changan, who was standing on the platform, was watching the soldiers practice, stretched out his hand to take the letter and open it, and the moment he took out the letter, his heart tightened slightly, the handwriting on the paper was so familiar, the moment he saw this handwriting, it seemed that the woman's face also appeared on the letter.

Wide and unbeatable.

"The man I love dearly, did you not think that I would write to you? In fact, even I didn't think that I couldn't help but write to you, the reason why I couldn't help it was not because I missed you, but because I hated you, from the time I was pregnant until the child has learned to speak, you have never asked, and there is no letter of a word, I think, probably you think this child is not important, I think, probably you think I am just your plaything. ”

When Meng Changan saw this, he frowned, not angry, but because his heart hurt.

"Although you don't look like a father, I will still tell him after he is sensible that his father is the sword general of Ningguo, a hero of the world, who has saved his mother's life again and again, but, his father is also a ruthless person, Meng Changan, you have an extra son, he will be as handsome as you, no...... He'll grow up to be more handsome than you, but I'm not going to let him be as cold as you. ”

"I hope my son is a very special person, I will let him learn to hate you but not anyone else, only you, I will even teach him to have the ability to protect his brothers and sisters who have never met in the future, only to hate you, must hate you, his mother has not felt the warmth between brothers and sisters, I want not to let him be the same as me."

"He should be surnamed Meng, don't you think it's ridiculous? Many years later, he will fight with his elderly mother, but it is not the surname Meng that he is guarding, but the vast enemy, and the Black Martial Imperial Family is invincible. ”

Meng Changan let out a long breath, looked at the north and muttered: "May you spend the rest of your life thinking that there is wind when you want the wind, and when you want rain, there is rain when you want it, but you don't experience wind and rain, in this life I am sorry for you and sorry for the child." ”

He looked down at the letter, which had the last sentence on it.

"I will make him as proud as you since he was a child, and I will make him as strong as you, from now on, you are no longer my hero, he is."
