The wind rustled the leaves, and Cao Shuang and his party went away, leaving only the shadow stretched by the sunset. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info looked at Cao Shuang who was far away, and the black shadow said in his mouth, "Go all the way, we will meet again one day." ”

The shadow leaned forward, as if it were on a leaf. The wind blew gently, and the black shadow did not move. The silver hair on his head seemed to show the cruelty of life, and the black shadow took off the hood he wore on his head, revealing a very handsome face, without any expression on his face, he didn't seem to be able to smile, and the corners of his mouth moved very unnaturally.

Turning his head to look at Chang'an, the black shadow's eyes were full of memories. In an unknown mountain village near Chang'an, only a few families live here. A young man who was not tall walked towards the village with a bamboo basket on his back. From afar, he found that there was a thick smoke rising from the village, which was not the smoke from cooking, and the young man ran towards the village. In a hurry, he didn't even care about the medicine hoe that he took off.

When he entered the village, he was devastated, and Aunt Li, who had given him eggs, was leaning weakly against the low wall at the moment, with a few chicken feathers in her arms. Every few steps, a familiar figure appeared in front of him, the young man's lips trembled slightly, and he ran wildly towards the grass hut in the middle of the village, "Master! Master! ”

Although he didn't dare, the young man still opened the door, only to see a white-haired old man leaning against the wall, smiling warmly, "I'm waiting for you." Before he finished speaking, Lao Dao spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.

The young man called the little monkey hurriedly stepped forward, took Lao Dao into his arms, and cried, "Don't speak, let me see your injuries." Looking at the dying old Tao in front of him, the little monkey's tears couldn't be stopped, he was humiliated back then, if it wasn't for the old way, he would have died in the hands of that group of scoundrels. It was the old Taoist who taught him to read and write, taught him martial arts, and for decades he felt the warm love of the old Tao.

"Little monkey, don't cry. explored the heavens in vain for the teacher, but he didn't count his death. Lao Dao wiped the tears of the little monkey, "It's just that I pity you, I will be alone again in the future." As a teacher, I can't take care of you anymore, so let's go out of the mountain. ”

"I'm not going anywhere, I want to guard the master, and I have to be filial to the master." The little monkey cried so much that only the crows outside the house crowed a few times to echo it.

"Little rabbit cub, you will eventually meet your nobleman, how can you stay in this deep mountain." Lao Dao patted the young man and repeatedly advised, "Rise when you meet Cao, and die when you see Wei." Remember! Remember! ”

"Master! Master! The little monkey shouted hysterically, and Lao Dao's hands hung weakly on the ground, and a serene smile hung on his closed face.

From the master's hand, the little monkey took out a jade pendant with a Xuanyao engraved on it. The voice of the jade pendant was torn off, and he didn't know that the master had such a jade pendant, and there was only one explanation that it was left by the person who killed the master, and he put the jade pendant away. Looking at the master beside him, who was no longer breathless, he licked the blood on the back of his hand with his tongue, what kind of taste is this, it is actually a little salty, and there is an astringent taste.

At this moment, the little monkey is the crazy monkey, and the crazy monkey is Li Pet. He watched with his own eyes as the fire devoured his master and devoured the mountain village. A fire engulfed the entire mountain village, and also swallowed Li Chong's once quiet and beautiful life. Speaking of the waning moon scimitar that Master had built for him, he left the village, the mountain village with which he had to stay for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, a trace of tears flowed from Li Pet's cheeks. A drop of blood dripped from the scimitar behind Li Chong's back, fell into the spring water, and scattered.

"Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will kill you. If I don't kill you, I will not be a man. Li Pet held the Xuanniao jade pendant and roared loudly, startling the birds resting in the forest. Countless birds rose into the air, and Cao Shuang, who had already gone away, was also attracted by the birds flying behind him, and stopped his horse to watch.

"Childe, let's go quickly." Xiahou Shan was worried that the black shadow just now would catch up, so he hurriedly urged Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang nodded, and continued to hurry, and at the same time, he also kept the black shadow in mind, and he must find out who he is.

The Western Liang army traveled day and night, and finally returned to Liangzhou after leaving the customs. All the Xiliang troops embarked on the journey back to their own territory, and the ranks of the Xiliang army became smaller and smaller. After Ma Chao suffered a heavy blow, he was drenched in heavy rain and couldn't afford to be seriously ill. Ma Chao ordered to find out the identity of the black shadow at all costs, and he was unwilling to lose to the black shadow and didn't even know the name of the other party.

"Lord, Ma Chao has returned to Huaili." Yan Xing walked into Han Sui's study and reported the news he had just gotten to Han Sui.

Han Sui rubbed his eyes, saw that it was Yan Xing, and waved his hand to sit down, "Yan Ming, what did Fei Ke say?" ”

"Fico said that if the lord can get his place, he will help." Yan Xing transferred Fei Ke's original words to Han Sui on the throne. Fei Ke was the leader of the largest Qiang tribe around Jincheng, and during this period of time in Chang'an, where Ma surpassed the army, Han Sui asked Yan Xing to bring gold and silver treasures to make friends with the Qiang leaders in Liangzhou, and the effect was also very satisfactory.

"Send a letter to greet Ma Chao for me, this kid is still too young." Han Sui sat and stretched his waist, moving his muscles and bones. Although he was concerned about Ma Chao, his tone was full of ridicule.

Yan Xing arched his hand and didn't say much. Following Han Sui for many years, Yan Xing has done more than he said, and he has carried out Han Sui's orders to the letter. This is also the reason why Han Sui regards Yan Xing as a confidant, and is ready to marry his daughter to Yan Xing.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go back and rest." Han Sui waved his hand and sent Yan Xing away. Han Sui held the map of the oil lamp in front of him, and analyzed the form of Liangzhou with the faint light of the oil lamp. After looking at it for a while, Han Sui felt that his eyes were very dry, and he sighed turbidly, "Time is not forgiving." ”

Yan Xing led a group of guards back to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, someone reported that Mr. Lin was waiting in the living room. Yan Xing handed the snake spear in his hand to the guard, and ordered no one to approach the living room. Yan Xing was silent, and his own personal guard was also natural, guarding not far from the living room.

"Mr. Lin, you're back." Yan Xing had a smile on his face and said very kindly, judging the two of them with a cold expression just now.

The person known as Mr. Lin hurriedly got up and saluted towards Yan, "It's so late, and you are still here to disturb General Yan, and I hope that the general will not blame." ”

"What are you talking about, Mr. went to Chang'an alone, I have to thank Mr." Yan Xing took Mr. Lin's hand and sat down, "I don't know Chang'an and his party, is Mr. okay?" ”

"Thanks to the general's blessing, Lin Ze is safe all the way, and General Lao remembers it." Lin replied, "I don't know if the general is good?" ”

"Many Qiang leaders have promised the generals that they will help them when the time comes." A gleam flashed in Yan Xing's eyes, and he said in a low voice, both of them understood the meaning of the other party's words, and they answered each other fluently.

"The relationship between Ma Chao and the rest of the generals is very bad, if we can take advantage of this, it will not be difficult to unify Xiliang." Lin went for Yan Xing to inquire about the news, and brought back the detailed map depicted along the way, "The most important thing is to deal with the relationship with Cao Cao." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Yan Xing bowed his head and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Lin Ze leaned closer to Yan Xing and lowered his voice, "I have some doorways that are in contact with that side, and news will come back soon." ”

"Sir, you're a wonderful man." Yan Xing had a smile on his face and praised Lin Ze with his thumb.
