More than 100 miles northeast of Bian'an City, plain, official road.

Although it is winter now, it is extremely rare that there has been no snow in the recent period, and the earth has exposed barren grass and ancient roads, withered branches and crows, and a bleak scene.

On the official road, a pair of rich men in brocade robes are riding side by side, the horses' hooves are not in a hurry, and it seems that the two are enjoying the good winter light.

It's just that there is a faint cold and fierce killing aura on their bodies, which makes people know that the two of them are real pawns in a hundred battles.

Not to be underestimated.

It was the night of the Lantern Festival that assassinated Lu Muchu's two people in the Qi Realm.

I don't know how they escaped from the closed gates of Bian'an City.

It's just that they are blatantly driving on the official road, all the way to the north.

Naturally, there is no fear.

It's trust in one's own disguise.

But in their hearts, there is still a lingering shadow.

That, a boy who is as fierce as a tiger.

Obviously, they were about to succeed, but the young man suddenly burst out, and his aura was arrogant and unruly, as if he was crazy.

But the huge river of air currents knocked them mercilessly down from the third floor, and when they reacted, they could only feel the trembling of the attic.

Immediately, the two took refuge to safety and saw the sight they would never forget.

Cupola pillar.

Break the clouds and cover the moon.

This failure was their miscalculation of the boy.

When I go back, I have to talk to my general.

Those who spy on the military, they are fucking damned.

"Da, da, da......"

The earth trembled slightly.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in front of him.

The sound of horses' hooves is like light thunder, and it must be a high-headed horse.

The two men looked at each other, then pretended to be calm and moved on.

Now that they are empty, since they dare to take the official road, they are naturally not afraid of being seen.

In the distance, twelve black-clad riders came fiercely.

The body shape and temperament are very similar to these two people.

Both sides noticed the other side, and at a distance of half an arrow from each other, they stopped and looked at each other.

There are temptations and doubts in the eyes.

"Greedy wolf?"

"Breaking the army?"

confirmed each other's identities, these two people who belonged to the "greedy wolf" of the Xuanbei Army, but they did not relax their vigilance, and their eyes were still cold.

Like a wolf.

A wolf in a brocade robe.

Because they know what an ulterior the task they are carrying out.

That is, the task of assassinating His Highness.

Twelve men and two people nodded to each other, and then each prepared to move on.

Anyway, although the Xuanbei Army is in the north, there are many people who perform tasks in various places.

At this moment, an inconspicuous black bird landed on the shoulders of the leaders of the twelve.

The leader was emaciated, but capable, and his eyes were always smiling, and for some reason, he was so dense that he had six or seven knives on his thighs, and he looked like a ruthless fellow.

When he saw the black bird, the leader's eyes swept over the two brocade robes.

The two brocade robes tightened their hearts, and put their right hands on the knives.

Slight bulge of blood vessels.

The leader took off the pendant on the bird's leg, took out the secret letter, and looked at it carefully, but his expression did not change in the slightest.

The two brocade-robed people, for some reason, did not move forward, and seemed to be secretly on guard.

After reading the secret letter, the leader released the bird and smiled at the two people: "The two of the 'greedy wolves', since they are on a mission, let's reply as soon as possible." ”

With that, the twelve men got out of the way.

The two brocade robes breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to ride forward.

Unfortunately, just as they were passing by the leader, the leader suddenly burst out and punched the soft underbelly of a brocade robe, instantly smashing him out fiercely.

One punch, broken bones.

Domineering.

At the same time, a blindfolded and indifferent middle-aged man put his hand on the chin of another brocade robe, directly crushing the bones there.

Although the two Qi Convergence Realm people were seriously injured, they were still solved in an instant.

The leader turned around and pointed: "You eight, escort these two people back to the Northland, remember, only the Second Highness can see these two, understand?" ”

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy smiled and said, "Boss, there are only four of you, is it okay?" ”

The leader put his hand on the young man's head and said gently: "Remember, we are going to meet the Third Highness, who dares to disobey." ”

The young man seemed to be a little distressed: "But boss, didn't the Second Highness say that you want us to slaughter someone in the martial arts?" ”

The leader snorted coldly, "What about the martial arts hall?" I killed a traitor in the Northland, and he Zhao Ponu still dared to make trouble in the Northland? ”

"Brave enough, he'll try."

……

Southern Xinjiang, the base camp of the Cangnan Army.

Ouyang Xun held the letter, his face was a little worried, his brows were furrowed tightly, and even his mustache was twisted into a ball, looking very entangled.

His lieutenants and attendants were on both sides of the tent, a little worried.

Ouyang Gongzi, who has always been afraid of heaven and earth, would show such an expression.

It's weird.

At the end, Ouyang Xun seemed to have finally made up his mind, stood up and faced everyone, his face was steady, and he bowed his hands.

Everyone below was shocked, Ouyang Gongzi was so gifted, there must be something unusual.

To put it bluntly, Ouyang Xun is a descendant of the Luochuan Ouyang clan, but there is no trace of the son's style in the army, and he always takes the lead in battles without ambiguity.

Fight with him, and be happy.

When these people saw Ouyang Gongzi's abnormality, they had already made a decision in their hearts.

On the one hand, Ouyang Xun is a good boss, and on the other hand, the Luochuan Ouyang clan is also flourishing, so everyone arched their hands and said: "Ouyang Gongzi has difficulties, I will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up." ”

"That is, Brother Ouyang usually treats me like a brother, and this moment must be the time for us to repay."

……

For a moment, everyone was excited, Ouyang Xun smiled lightly and stretched out his hand, and everyone was silent.

Looking at his subordinates in the Cangnan army, Ouyang Xun smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, it's just that there are some things in my family, I need to go home, and I can come back in a hundred days at most. ”

As soon as they heard that it was just an ordinary homecoming, everyone's hearts fell to the ground, although Ouyang Xun didn't say what it was, but he could return in a hundred days, and it was not a big deal.

Cangnan Army, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Cui Jiuling looked at Ouyang Xun, then looked at the letter in his hand, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "What, you Ouyang Xun don't tell me the truth, and you're afraid that I won't let you go?" ”

Ouyang Xun faced Cui Jiuling, he never had an arrogant mind, in his eyes, the most terrifying person in the entire Cangnan Army was not the unfathomable forest capital Du Wanli, but the wind department commander Cui Jiuling.

If you make a comparison, the former is like a deep well, and it is difficult to see the bottom of the well in the dark, then the latter is the boundless sea, you can see its majesty, but you also know that its breadth is insurmountable in your life.

Cui Jiuling looked at the letter paper and sighed a little, "Lord Shoufu is very old, and he is seriously ill at the moment, as a descendant of the Ouyang family, you should go to visit your grandfather." ”

Immediately, Cui Jiuling picked up the seal and stamped it on the passage paper.

With the passage documents, Ouyang Xun, as an incumbent officer, would be able to move unimpeded within the empire.

Ouyang Xun didn't say anything, and bowed his fist and retired.

Cui Jiuling's lieutenant looked at Ouyang Xun's figure, a little puzzled, and he whispered: "Dutong, over there, there is no news about Ouyang Zhiyuan's serious illness. ”

Cui Jiuling had a little headache and waved his hand, "Ouyang Zhiyuan is the first assistant of the current dynasty and the actual head of the Luochuan Ouyang clan, his serious illness is naturally a major news of the empire, and it is impossible to leak it easily." ”

However, thinking of the forest department, Cui Jiuling smiled a little bitterly, "This Du Wanli, when he was leaving, he actually recommended Lin Xiuwen of the Lingnan Gang to be the next commander of the forest department, it's just nonsense, the capital of the empire, where you want to do it." ”

The deputy general thought for a while and said tentatively: "In the past, the crows of the forest department often cooperated with the Lingnan Gang, so Lin Xiuwen's reputation in the forest department is actually good, and now he has Du Dutong's recommendation, why don't you let him take over temporarily?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Cui Jiuling reprimanded without doubt, and he continued: "I don't care what the situation is in the forest department, but if you want a young gang leader of the Lingnan Gang to temporarily take over the forest department, the other three departments will not be convinced." ”

At the end, this Cui Jiuling, who is famous for his elegance, grinds ink, and seems to be thinking deeply, thinking deeply about what is the connection in this series of things?

……

Ouyang Xun rode a horse and walked to a high place, he turned his head and looked at the Cangnan army camp, a little nostalgic.

Winter dust, the sun is dark.

He hadn't left for four years.

In the past four years, I have been looking at the gloomy weather in southern Xinjiang, but I have become a little nostalgic.

It's just that although his grandfather is old, from the past letters, the old man's health has always been good, how could he suddenly become seriously ill?

Could it be that grandpa has always been in poor health, and his family has hidden something from him?

Ouyang Xun's heart had a hint of gloom.

He turned and rode his horse north.

In the end, it was ignored.

The scenery in his eyes just now was the last time he saw it in his life.
