Where the end begins, end here

Previous Chapter

Under an old kui tree at the end of the alley, Xu Mingyuan looked at the woman holding the guqin in front of him, was silent for a while, and said: "King Xiang's Mansion has fallen, although King Xiang is not dead, I will definitely hunt him down to death." What are Miss Su's plans for the future? ”

Su Yimeng, who was dressed in purple, had a little red eyes, bowed to Yingying, and said softly: "The son avenges the little girl's family, the little woman has nothing to avenge, if the son does not give up, he is willing to serve the son in the future." ”

Xu Mingyuan stretched out his hand to help Su Yimeng, looked at her and shook his head and said: "Miss Su doesn't have to be like this, King Xiang has his own way to die, although he avenged the blood revenge of your Su family today, it is not only because of this." The world is so big, if the girl has a place she wants to go and something she wants to do, she can do it, and she doesn't have to tie the rest of her life to repay her kindness. ”

"The world is big, but there is no place for me, there are many things in the world, but there is nothing I can do. If the son dislikes Yimeng's humble background, Yimeng will not dare to ask for his son's right and will, and he hopes that the son will cherish it. Su Yimeng shook her head lightly and said, her eyes were full of confusion and sadness, she hugged the qin, turned around slowly, and was about to leave.

Xu Mingyuan suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed her wrist, and said softly: "Since I saved you at the beginning, why is it difficult to give you another place to stay." ”

Picked her up with a horizontal waist, and the light under her feet had already landed on the horse's back, and rode the horse towards Yongxingfang.

The horse stopped outside the delicate small courtyard, Xu Mingyuan looked at the people standing in front of the door, and the undisguised murderous aura, his eyes shrank slightly, and the hand holding the reins couldn't help but force a little.

Qi Haobo clasped his hands in front of his chest, smiling cheaply, completely looking like he was watching a good show.

Qi Yueru stared at Xu Mingyuan and Su Yimeng, who was hugged by him on horseback, a little surprised.

And Xiao Xia had an expression of admiration, but his eyes fell on Zeng Qingyi, who was beside him with a somewhat cold face and a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he showed a little schadenfreude.

Yes, the source of Xu Mingyuan's fear came from Zeng Qingyi, who was standing at the door at this time, and the red snow that trembled slightly in the scabbard.

"Hello, Miss Zeng." Su Yimeng got off the horse first, looked at Zeng Qingyi and said softly.

"Hello, Miss Su." Zeng Qingyi nodded slightly and said, although her expression was not enthusiastic, it was quite natural. However, when she looked at Xu Mingyuan, her face suddenly became much colder, and she pouted: "I just returned to Chang'an, but I am very busy." ”

Xu Mingyuan jumped off the horse, felt that his scalp was a little numb, and threw the reins to Qi Haobo, who was gloating on the side, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just came back, I was a little busy." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Xia on the side again, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xia, is dinner ready?" I'm so hungry that I don't go into a restaurant on the way, but I just come to eat your food. ”

"The meal is ready, Brother Xu, you better think about how to enter the door first." Qi Yueru said with a smile, stepped forward and took Su Yimeng's hand and said with a smile: "This sister, let's go in first, your guqin is so beautiful, and your hands are so beautiful, can you play a song for me?" ”

Su Yimeng turned around and nodded slightly at Xu Mingyuan, then looked at Zeng Qingyi again and said, "Miss Zeng, the son saved my life and avenged my family, and I will be the slave of the son in the future." ”

"Really?" Zeng Qingyi looked at Xu Mingyuan with some meaning and asked.

"Miss Su, go and rest first, you must be tired today." Xu Mingyuan didn't expect Su Yimeng to announce his ownership in such a hurry, and hurriedly said, glaring at Qi Yueru.

Qi Yueru comprehended, and led Su Yimeng towards the courtyard.

Qi Haobo led the horse to the courtyard next door, and gave Xu Mingyuan a vague thumbs up when he entered the yard.

"Is it okay over there in Zengfu? Zeng Beichen, that kid didn't cause trouble, right? Your dad wasn't angry when he was locked up by you, was he? Without waiting for Zeng Qingyi to speak, Xu Mingyuan had already asked three questions very quickly.

"They're all right, so can you tell me what happened just now?" Zeng Qingyi glanced at Xu Mingyuan, and did not spend too long on the question raised by Xu Mingyuan.

"Tomorrow I'm leaving again, going to the northwest to kill someone." Xu Mingyuan did not answer Zeng Qingyi's question, but changed the topic.

Zeng Qingyi heard this, raised her good-looking eyebrows, was silent for a while, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said, "I'll go with you." ”

"Chang'an has to be guarded by someone." Xu Mingyuan shook his head.

"Why should I keep it? You are not Mr. Xu, and I am not Mrs. Xie, are you still the same as you were twenty-five years ago? Zeng Qingyi looked at Xu Mingyuan, but she didn't retreat at all.

"You know, I'm actually a good person, if I can do something for the people in the world, as long as I don't want to die, I'm willing to do it." Xu Mingyuan looked at Zeng Qingyi and said with a smile.

"Those who died in your hands don't think so, your so-called people in the world are just the people of Dawan." Zeng Qingyi ruthlessly exposed the shortcomings.

Xu Mingyuan shook his head indifferently and said with a smile: "You know, I'm pretty selfish sometimes. ”

"If you die, then I'll let that palace bury you." Zeng Qingyi looked at Xu Mingyuan, was silent for a long time, stretched out his hand and pointed to the palace that was shining in the setting sun.

"That seems a bit unreasonable." Xu Mingyuan said with a somewhat strange expression.

"You know, I'm often unreasonable." Zeng Qingyi said calmly, turned around and entered the courtyard.

"It's true." Xu Mingyuan nodded approvingly, but the words were not spoken.

This meal was quite harmonious, after all, Su Yimeng was not Shi Yuexin, and he did not have the same strength, and Zeng Qingyi would not let Hongxue move at every turn.

After eating, Xu Mingyuan asked Qi Yueru and Xiao Xia to make arrangements for Su Yimeng to stay, while Zeng Qingyi went back to Zeng's mansion first.

Xu Mingyuan and Qi Haobo pulled two reclining chairs in the courtyard, looked up at the starry sky, and were silent.

After a long time, Xu Mingyuan looked sideways at Qi Haobo and said, "Why didn't you die, Bai made me sad for a few days." ”

"Have you shed any tears?" Qi Haobo looked at Xu Mingyuan, shook his eyebrows and asked.

This night, the two of them talked a lot, from Shuzhou to Chang'an, from forgetting worries to Micang Mountain, from Mr. Shuyuan to the head of the Jincheng Sword School.

"Tomorrow there should be someone from Jiangnan to Chang'an, you give him the second prince and the information from the north, and the second prince will be handed over to him." Xu Mingyuan stood up, looked in the direction of the palace, and exhaled lightly.

"No. 1 in the world?" Qi Haobo also stood up and said with a smile.

"Li Taibai is now in the sky, then he is indeed the first in the world." Xu Mingyuan looked up at the sky and said with a smile.

"You stay here tonight, and you're going to kill some people tonight, where did you get that holy decree really good." Qi Haobo smiled and patted Xu Mingyuan's shoulder and said.

took two steps to the door, looked back at Xu Mingyuan and said, "Mr. Xu is really your father?" ”

Xu Mingyuan nodded.

"Then you kid have to call me uncle, haha, I called Mrs. back then, but I called me sister." Qi Haobo laughed, and then disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye.

Back in the room, Xu Mingyuan took out two almost identical jade cards, put them on the table, and after a long time, looked at the jade cards and said: "The game is still the overall situation, since you have laid it, I will help you continue." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Mingyuan, who got up early to take a cold shower, wore a black light armor sent by Qi Haobo in a hurry, and Su Yimeng helped him tie up his hair and tie it tightly with a black cloth, looking very energetic and quite a bit of general's majesty.

The horse was also sent by Qi Haobo, and the sweaty BMW obtained from the Western Regions was a little slender, not in captivity in the palace, but by the group of horsemen who were specially trained by the Yuntai Division for Heiyun to ride horses.

Although the sweat and blood horse is a precious horse and has the reputation of a thousand miles of horses, the sweat and blood horse's weight-bearing capacity is too poor and is not suitable for the black cloud riding wearing heavy armor, so the black cloud riding side only raised two or three, and no one uses it on weekdays.

Xu Mingyuan turned over and got on the horse, and the light armor that just fit was not bloated, but it looked extraordinarily vigorous.

"Gone." Xu Mingyuan smiled at Su Yimeng, Qi Yueru, and Qi Haobo who were standing at the door, clamped the horse's belly, and rode away.

Xu Mingyuan rode out of the Jinguang Gate of Xicheng, a thousand black clouds rode on both sides of the official road outside the city gate, all dressed in black suits, one person and three horses, and two auxiliary horses, one of which was used to carry dozens of pounds of heavy armor.

"Xu Mingyuan, come back alive, otherwise I will do what I say." A shadow appeared at the top of the city, and a playful voice shouted.

Xu Mingyuan looked up and said with a smile: "My life is not worthy of a state funeral." ”

"If I say it's worth it, it's worth it." Zeng Qingyi said undoubtedly.

"Then shall I come back and marry you?" Xu Mingyuan looked at Zeng Qingyi and said, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression was rare serious.

Zeng Qingyi's heroic face flashed with a blush, hesitated, coughed lightly, and said, "You can talk about it when you come back." ”

Xu Mingyuan laughed, his eyes swept over the black cloud riders with solemn expressions, but his eyes were fiery, and he said loudly: "Black cloud riders, go!" ”

One horse rushed out, and a thousand horses and three thousand horses came out later, like a black torrent, surging along the official road, the ground trembled slightly, and the momentum was amazing.

The black torrent disappeared on the official road, and one person carried a heavy sword on his back and entered Chang'an from the Vermilion Bird Gate.

--------------------------------------------

Ten days later, in Liangzhou, on the official road that was not smooth, thousands of horsemen stood solemnly.

One man was left with only two horses, one on horseback, and one on his back.

Everyone was tired, but the sharp momentum did not diminish at all, and everyone's eyes fell on the figure at the front of the team.

"Black Cloud Ride, Change Horse and Armor!" Xu Mingyuan, who was standing at the front on horseback, slowly rolled up the secret letter in his hand, put it in his arms, and said loudly.

A thousand black clouds rode silently and changed horses, wearing heavy armor.

Five miles away, 10,000 cavalry stood solemnly, divided into a road, entered with two carriages and a dozen horsemen, and then closed again.

At this moment, a tall lama dressed in a red and yellow robe walked slowly on the official road.

He held in his hand a string of gabala that had been smoothed by years of caressing, and a gabala drum hung from his waist, and he stood thirty zhang away, crossed his legs, and turned the gabala in one hand, and gently placed it on the gabala drum with the other.

Xu Mingyuan rode forward twenty zhang, looking at the lama who was tall, couldn't tell his age, and had a compassionate look on his face, and squinted his eyes slightly, "I heard that you are very capable of carrying it?" Very good to play too"

The lama looked at Xu Mingyuan, shook his head and said, "Today is only to prevent you from killing people, not to kill." ”

"You lamas who eat human blood and suck human bones, why do you behave like this?" Xu Mingyuan shook his head, looked at the string of Buddha beads and the drum he was holding in his hand, his expression was slightly cold, and he pursed his lips and said: "The Buddha beads are made of human bones, and the drums made of the skulls of sixteen-year-old and twelve-year-old boys and girls are also made of human skin, right?" ”

"Thank the Buddha for the past life, pray for the Buddha in the next life, and be a Buddha in the next life." The lama replied with a calm expression.

"Li Taibai is right, you can't become a Buddha without ruthlessness, that's a demon." Xu Mingyuan pouted, looking at the string of bone Buddhist beads in the lama's hand, with a look of disgust on his face: "I heard that the woman loved you for ten years, and she was defeated in the hands of Li Taibai that year, so you took her finger bones as Buddha beads." ”

The lama twisted the rosary in his hand, looked compassionate, and said no more.

Xu Mingyuan stretched out his hand and drew his sword, flung out of his hand, and with a sword out, the wind rose, and the three-foot cyan sword qi attached to the sword, and appeared in front of the lama in an instant, bringing out a one-foot-deep ravine on the ground.

However, the long sword stopped three feet away from the lama's heart, and the three-foot sword qi dissipated, and it still couldn't advance a single bit.

"Isn't King Kong bad?" Xu Mingyuan pursed his lips, jumped out from the horse, took a few steps in front of the lama, stretched out his hand to hold Qingshuang, and advanced an inch, and then he couldn't advance a single inch.

"This road is not passable, the donor can retreat." The lama's expression was still calm, and he was not half angry because of Xu Mingyuan's previous words, and he seemed to have no joy or sorrow.

Xu Mingyuan put away his sword, stood still a zhang away, looked at the old monk, nodded and said: "It is indeed very resistant, in the whole world, maybe only Liu Shaoqun may be able to shoot you to death." ”

"I also knew that I might not be able to kill you, so I borrowed a sword earlier." Xu Mingyuan continued, then stretched out his hand to the sky, and a long sword came up from the sky and fell into his hand.

The lama glanced up at the sword in Xu Mingyuan's hand, and for the first time there was something else in his eyes, memory, and dazedness.

"Swords are not human after all." After a moment of silence, the lama spoke.

Xu Mingyuan held the long sword with a somewhat quaint style, and stabbed it out with a sword, but it was still the position of the heart, only an inch away.

"The sword is indeed inferior to a man." Xu Mingyuan nodded, agreed with the lama's words, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled a little strangely: "But this sword is borrowed, so it has to be returned after all." ”

The lama's face, who had been calm, finally changed color slightly, and as soon as he raised his hand, the string of Buddhist beads was already blocked in front of the long sword, and as soon as his left hand slapped on the bone drum, a substantial ripple surged towards Xu Mingyuan, and a layer of golden light appeared on his body.

At this moment, a white light suddenly lit up on the original simple long sword, and then the string of bone beads shattered, and then the bone drum also shattered, and the layer of golden light was instantly annihilated.

The incorruptible body of King Kong, which is known as unbreakable in the world, is like a piece of paper, torn by a long sword, and then penetrates.

The long sword roared by, and people from five miles away could see a long sword like a dragon, soaring into the sky and disappearing without a trace.

Xu Mingyuan took two steps back, looked at a fist-sized hollow lama in front of his chest, shook his head and said, "Even the sky was killed by Li Taibai, how can you people who are attached to him and forcibly collect the world's creation."

Tibet is too dirty, since you have poured out of the nest, then all stay here, how many temples there are in that land, how many will be toppled in three years.

Afterlife? It's more than those monks in the Second Pagoda Temple. ”

Xu Mingyuan put away his sword, walked to the horse, and turned over on the horse.

"Black Cloud Ride, Charge!" Xu Mingyuan shouted loudly, flicked the reins, and rushed out first.

A thousand black cloud riders, spear in hand, wearing heavy armor, followed behind Xu Mingyuan silently and began to charge.

With thousands of horses against thousands of horses, there is no timidity, and no one will retreat from the battle.

Twenty-five years ago, the Black Cloud Cavalry pierced through the entire Northwest, and twenty-five years later, how could it be timid because of 10,000 horses.

Today, the number of heavy cavalry is not much, each heavy cavalry is piled up with money, and the money for raising one heavy cavalry is enough to raise ten ordinary cavalry, so in addition to Dawan, there are two thousand cavalry heavy cavalry, and only the North Li semi-heavy cavalry.

The Black Cloud Rider began to charge, and the 10,000 Riders also began to charge.

After 10,000 horses, more than a dozen horses galloped, a hundred miles away is Liangzhou City, as long as you enter the city, a thousand black clouds no matter how powerful they are, they can't fly to the city wall.

And these 10,000 horses do not seek to annihilate thousands of horses, as long as they can be dragged and let the nobles from Chang'an enter Liangzhou City, then these 10,000 horses will be dead, and it is not a pity.

The black cloud rode three horses in parallel, followed behind Xu Mingyuan, and crashed into the ten thousand horses, like a knife piercing into the taut cloth, almost unhindered, it was directly broken.

Half a quarter of an hour later, thousands of horsemen were killed, everyone was bathed in blood, and a bloody road behind them, thousands of horsemen were killed.

In a quarter of an hour, Xu Mingyuan looked at the dozen or so horsemen outside the hundred zhang, stepped out from the horseback, and slashed three swordsmen who rushed back with a sword, and with a few light strokes of his body, he landed in front of the sweaty BMW in the middle, and smashed it on the horse's head with a punch.

The galloping horse neighed and was knocked to the ground with a punch, and the young man in the purple robe on the horseback was thrown off the horse and threw himself to the ground, his gorgeous clothes stained with mud, looking a little embarrassed.

With two swords in his hand, he killed the remaining guards, Xu Mingyuan took two steps forward, looked at the young man who was straightening his clothes, and said loudly: "It's a family matter, why bother opening the door to lure the wolf?" ”

"If it was a family matter, why did Mr. Xu get involved twenty-five years ago? Why are you here today? Xiangwang Yanhong stood up, patted the dust on his body, looked at Xu Mingyuan with some sadness and smiled.

"Twenty-five years ago, he was a better choice than you." Xu Mingyuan looked at Yan Hong and said after being silent for a while.

"And now? Could it be that little kid who doesn't understand anything is still a better choice than me? I just want to get back what is supposed to be mine, why are you all holding back? Yan Hong pointed in the direction of Chang'an, looked at Xu Mingyuan and asked.

Xu Mingyuan shook his head and said, "He is not as good as you, but for me, it is indeed a better choice." It may not be the best choice for the people of the world, but for the bureau they set up twenty years ago, it is the only choice. ”

Yan Hong listened to Xu Mingyuan's words, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he turned around a little stunned, looked at Liangzhou City, which could already see the outline not far away, and smiled a little lonely, "It turns out that since twenty-five years ago, I have been just a chess piece, a chess piece that has been raised. ”

"Let's hit the road." Xu Mingyuan looked at Yan Hong and said calmly, he didn't know what to say about this man.

The tragedy of this person's life began with Mr. Xu and ended with him.

"Bury me in the capital of Tibet." Yan Hong took out a dagger from his sleeve, looked at Xu Mingyuan and smiled miserably, and then stabbed into his heart.

"Within a year." Xu Mingyuan took a deep breath and nodded.

Yan Hong's face finally showed a smile of genuine pleasure, closed his eyes, and fell backwards on his back.

Xu Mingyuan looked at Yan Hong, who was out of breath, his face was calm, but his mood was a little complicated.

"Commander!" Han Hongtao led the black cloud to stop outside Sanzhang, looked at Xu Mingyuan and shouted.

Xu Mingyuan walked to Yan Hong's side, cut off his head, held it in his hand, turned to look at Han Hongtao and said, "Collect the corpse of King Xiang, people can die, but the corpse cannot be lost." ”

"Yes!" Han Hongtao replied loudly, dismounted and walked over quickly, carrying the headless corpse of King Xiang directly on his back and tying it with a rope.

"Let's go down to the city." Xu Mingyuan glanced at Han Hongtao, who was carrying the headless corpse on his back, turned over on his horse, and pointed to Liangzhou City and said.

Thousands of horsemen rushed to ride thousands of horses, and the Black Cloud Cavalry was reduced by eighty, and there were even more wounded. Of course, the Northwestern cavalry, which died at their hands, was attrition more than ten times.

Under the city of Liangzhou, the city gate is closed, on the city wall three zhang high, are all soldiers holding bows and crossbows, on the city tower, there are more than a dozen veterans and strategists wearing long robes, Hexi Jiedu makes Liang Qian impressively in the column.

Xu Mingyuan motioned for Heiyun to ride twenty zhang away, stepped forward alone with the head of King Xiang, and stopped at ten zhang away.

"King Xiang is dead." Xu Mingyuan looked at the people on the city tower and only said four words.

When everyone on the city tower heard this, they were in an uproar.

That Liang Qian shook his body even more, almost to the end, but fortunately, the person next to him supported him.

Xu Mingyuan turned the horse's head, raised his hand, and the head had already fallen on the city tower.

"A year later, the border of Tubo Xibu is the border of Dawan, and the world is Dawan." Xu Mingyuan thought in his heart, rode his horse away, and Qianqi followed.

A day later, on a high slope 100 miles northwest of Liangzhou City, Xu Mingyuan drew a line from east to west on the map, looked at Han Hongtao and said, "Chisel through him." ”

Han Hongtao nodded, thought about it and asked, "Do you need to chisel it back again?" ”

Xu Mingyuan shook his head and said: "If you are in a hurry, maybe you can meet acquaintances as long as you chisel halfway, what should you do when the time comes, you act cheaply." ”

"Yes." Han Hongtao nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Find a place to remember and bury him first, and let the people from the Suzaku House take it back, don't carry it on your back." Xu Mingyuan glanced at the headless corpse that was still carried by Han Hongtao, felt a little panicked, and shook his head.

"I'm going to go south, half of the troops in the northwest have been taken away by Liang Qian's old horseman, plus the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Tubo, I'm afraid it won't be long before I resist." Xu Mingyuan rolled up the map and handed it to Han Hongtao, turned over on the horse, looked at the black cloud rider who was gnawing on dry food, and then looked at Han Hongtao and said, "Take more brothers back." ”

"Yes." Han Hongtao was answering, a seven-foot man, his eyes were already slightly red.

Xu Mingyuan flicked the reins and rode his horse to the southwest.

------------------------------------------

Ten days later, outside Nanzhao, Taihe City, and the Imperial Palace, on the white jade steps that hundreds of officials could only walk on, a young man wearing black light armor and holding a cyan long sword slowly climbed up.

Along the way, the guards fell to the ground, but there was no blood, more than 100 guards crowded in front of the hall, dozens of bows and crossbows aimed at the young man, there was a panicked look on his face, but he did not dare to retreat an inch.

"Xu Mingyuan, ask to see King Nanzhao." Xu Mingyuan stood still, did not continue to climb up, and shouted loudly.

The guards were all relieved to see that he was no longer advancing, and after a while, a little eunuch walked out quickly, waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Xu Mingyuan will enter the palace to meet you." ”

Xu Mingyuan handed the long sword in his hand to a guard and followed the little eunuch towards the palace.

A quarter of an hour later, in a richly decorated hall, a tall middle-aged man wearing purple clothes sat on a large chair, looked at Xu Mingyuan, and said with a smile: "When I saw it back then, I never thought that I would see it again today, I don't know if my long body is still tough?" ”

"Master has always been in good health." Xu Mingyuan nodded and said, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the little eunuch who was standing with his head hanging on the side, looking at Nanzhao Wang Juele Feng, "Xiangwang Yanhong is dead, 100,000 soldiers and horses and grain and grass in Jiannan Road have been prepared, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Tubo are pressed on the northwest border, and they have been entangled in the four towns of Dawan Anxi and the soldiers and horses of the Northwest Province, and the troops in Tubo are empty. ”

King Nanzhao didn't accept the letter brought by the little eunuch, looked at Xu Mingyuan and shook his head with a smile and said: "Little master, don't worry, let's not talk about state affairs first, I want to meet the Taoist chief back then, he said that I can be the king of Nanzhao, and today Nanzhao is indeed in my hands, and the Taoist is really a god." ”

"The war in the northwest is stalemate, and King Nanzhao wants to talk about private matters, but he can talk about it after state affairs." Xu Mingyuan shook his head, glanced sideways at the shadowy figure outside the door, and said in a slightly cold voice: "Although it is difficult for a martial artist to disturb the country, if you want to kill someone, it is not difficult. Xiangwang Yanhong was among the armies, and he died. ”

"Little Master is threatening me?" Jue Lefeng looked at Xu Mingyuan, but he was not flustered at all.

"No, I'm trading with King Nanzhao." Xu Mingyuan shook his head, looked at Jue Lefeng and continued: "Nanzhao sent troops, and the fertile land in the southwest of Tubo was all returned to Nanzhao. ”

"Little Master's words may be counted?" Hearing this, Jue Lefeng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Mingyuan and asked.

Xu Mingyuan nodded and said, "If you can't count, you don't have to travel thousands of miles to come here today." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, Nanzhao sent 100,000 troops to attack Tubo with the strength of the whole country." Hearing this, Jue Lefeng patted the chair and said.

"I hope that in a year, I can have a drink with King Nanzhao on the southwest border of Tibet." Xu Mingyuan arched his hand.

"Good!" Jue Lefeng laughed, and ordered the little eunuch on the side: "Set up a banquet, I want to entertain Lord Xu." ”

------------------------------------------

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Mingyuan, who was dressed in a loose green shirt, rode out of the imperial city, left Taihe City, and went all the way to the northeast.

Three days later, on the official road outside Shuzhou City, the sun was setting in the west, Xu Mingyuan glanced at the small city not far away, and his heart seemed to be a little restless after nearly a month of running, and it seemed that he was much quieter all of a sudden.

Looking up at the not very high Micang Mountain, Xu Mingyuan tied his horse to the thatched hut where Lao Huang used to live, plucked two handfuls of hay and threw them in the stone trough, and climbed along the path full of dead leaves on the mountain towards the top of the mountain.

In the late autumn of Micang Mountain, the red maple turned yellow and fell to the ground, without a sense of loneliness, and fell in Xu Mingyuan's eyes, showing kindness.

The small Taoist temple on the top of the mountain is still so defeated, it seems that Zhou Binjie often comes to clean it, so it is quite clean and refreshing.

Walking to the gate, Xu Mingyuan looked at the figure sitting cross-legged on the futon, with his back to him with white hair, wearing a half-used Taoist robe that had not been washed for a long time, and seemed to have fallen asleep, without making a sound, standing quietly and watching for a long time.

Half an hour later, Qing Xuan Lao Dao woke up slowly, got up and looked at Xu Mingyuan, and grinned: "Why, I haven't come back for a year, and I don't know the place?" ”

"No, I just want to see Master, after all, I was deceived this time, but I almost didn't come back several times." Xu Mingyuan shook his head with a smile and said.

Qing Xuan Lao Dao waved his hand and said: "I have already taught you the ability, this is no wonder to me, I don't carry this pot." ”

"Come on, I knew you would say that, if you're hungry, do you go to Shuzhou City to eat, or do you do it yourself?" Xu Mingyuan pouted.

"The little fat man just sent someone to deliver food in the morning, and they are all in the kitchen, so I think the teacher will count you back, and the time is accurate." Qing Xuan Lao Dao pointed to the kitchen on the side and said.

After eating three dishes and one soup for dinner, Xu Mingyuan put the bowl to the end of the kitchen, and he didn't bother to wash it, so he moved a small stool and sat down next to the master who was sitting under the old Panasonic and flossing his teeth, and looked up at the sky with him.

"Master, do you say that you can win this battle?" After being silent for a long time, Xu Mingyuan still asked out loud.

"If you can't win, you won't play like that back then." Qing Xuan Lao Dao took out the gourd, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

Xu Mingyuan looked at Qing Xuan, frowned, and said, "If the world is chess, is it really right to go like this?" Isn't it unfair to those who don't want to be pawns? ”

"The word fairness is relative, and for the people in the world, choice is a luxury, and it is even more difficult. And the world is chess, but you are a chess player, why do you have this kind of thinking? Qingxuan put down the wine gourd, looked at Xu Mingyuan and smiled.

"You taught me how to play chess, but it's really not good." Xu Mingyuan pouted.

"I taught your father and that one chess, although I also played a few bad moves in those years, but there are not many people in the world who can play better than the two of them."

"You compare me to those two, and you think too highly of me......"

"You kid is poor, if you want to play chess, you are actually better than both of them, after all, you have been with me for the longest time, and you have scored eight or nine points."

"You're boasting about yourself......"

Micang Mountain fell into silence again, Xu Mingyuan reached out and took the wine gourd in Qingxuan's hand, and poured two sips, the taste of Jiannan spring burning in the south of Shuzhou City.

"After the incident, still stay in Chang'an?"

"Although Chang'an is big and prosperous enough, it is less at home after all, so let's go back to Shuzhou after the incident, and stay here comfortably."

"It's like your father, but he doesn't feel like home in the whole world, so he tries to go back."

"He walked in style, and all the stacks of love debts were lost."

"Come on, the two of you are not bad at this, when you return to Shuzhou in two years, you are not eaten to death by Zeng Yatou."

"If you go back to Shuzhou, you have to pick up a few people back, and some things can't escape."

"Then you are better than your father, but in the future, you will still live in Shuzhou City, I see you all martial arts every day in the province, and out of sight is pure."
