This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

The disciples of the Jingmen Martial Arts Hall knelt in several rows in front of the door, kneeling down to the team of people who had gone away, of course, the only one in that team of people who deserved their respect was their master, the only head of the Jingmen Martial Arts Hall - Fu Hong.

After that, Fu Hong's eldest disciple followed the master's instructions and found a letter that was burned with fire paint and sealed tightly in the secret compartment under the futon where the master meditated and practiced all day.

After reading it carefully, everyone suddenly felt that as early as a few years ago, when Zhu Yunfeng had not yet reached the top of the army, he sent someone to find General Fu Lao, and wanted to invite him out of the mountain to give him some guidance on the affairs of the army at that time, but Fu Hong did not take it to heart, but felt that Zhu Yunfeng was not a simple person, and he could find himself hidden in the market without much effort.

Later, Zhu Yunfeng also visited him in person, but none of the disciples paid attention to this person, and perhaps received him as an infrequent visitor.

But after this visit, Zhu Yunfeng climbed high step by step in the army, and all the battles he led swept thousands of troops, and even the "Yin Ghost Army" led by him was the one who forced the previous monarch of the Eastern Xia Kingdom to be seriously injured and depressed.

With this big victory, he took over the military power seal of the Qingzhiyue Kingdom in one fell swoop, and became the first general of the imperial front who has not been crowned for more than 30 years after Fu Hong.

Last month, Fu Hong received a letter from Zhu Yunfeng again, which was an ultimatum to him, but Fu Hong looked at the disciples who were fighting each other on the school field, and he still couldn't make up his mind for a while. Some time ago, many garrisons from all over Lingzhou County came to his martial arts hall to make trouble, but he didn't expect that this time Zhu Yunfeng would come in person again.

Today's Zhu Yunfeng is no longer the young man who wore a hat and dressed like an ordinary Jianghu guest back then, his eyes reflected the fierce aura of battlefield killing and blood soaking, as if a single look could immediately take away the souls of those so-called weakling.

Zhang Yingying anxiously looked at the senior brothers with a blank look, clenched his fists, and rushed out with his feet, wanting to find Zhu Yunfeng to theorize again, but before he could run to the gate, he bumped into Zhang Ying, the female magistrate, who was leading the girl who was riding in the carriage with him before, and walked in from outside the door.

"Zhang Yingying, where are you going?" Zhang Ying sighed, and a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to have seen through his thoughts.

"I ...... Where else can I go! Zhang Yingying's eyes widened, his fists clenched even tighter, and he could even hear the sound of bone joints clicking against each other.

Behind him, all the senior brothers followed, and the senior disciples from afar roared: "Ah Xiong, don't be impulsive!" ”

"Yes, Ah Xiong, what's the use of you going?"

Zhang Yingying heard that this sentence was the fifth senior brother who had always been close to him talking.

"I ......" Zhang Yingying could only lower his head after all, gritting his teeth to hold back the bursts of anger that were almost bursting through his chest.

"This little brother, Lord Zhang recommended you to me as a guard before, but now I feel that it is very inappropriate......" Nanshan hugged his arms in front of his chest, and said with an old-fashioned look: "You don't look very good at cultivation, but your temper is quite big, if you really encounter any bandits on the escort road, is it possible that you want to leave me, and then rush up to fight with a group of evil bandits?" ”

"Lord Zhang! Who the hell is this little girl, I'm a heroic man, and it's not her turn to judge this little girl! ”

"Don't be rude, you come with me." Zhang Ying frowned, glanced at Zhang Yingying, and then raised his head and said to the senior brothers behind him: "There are some errands in the county office, borrow Zhang Yingying for a while, and say hello to all the senior brothers here...... As for Fu, no, on the side of the old Qi seniors, I will try to take care of it. ”

She knew that those disciples were very unfamiliar with the name "Old General Fu", in their minds, the Jingmen Martial Arts Hall would always be surnamed "Qi", and she boasted that she could try her best to "take care", in fact, she smiled bitterly in her heart, what could she take care of?

Zhu Yunfeng, how could he be the kind of person who would think of the old feelings and be willing to listen to her as a woman?

took Zhang Yingying, and the three of them returned to the county government together, and the deserted backyard of the county government was Zhang Ying's usual residence.

Along the way, she once again explained Nanshan's identity to Zhang Yingying, and finally made Zhang Yingying, a stunned young man, show a respectful look, but that respectful appearance, no matter how you look at it, how do you feel a little unhappy in it.

There is a high pavilion in the backyard, which is the place where Zhang Ying drinks tea and admires the moon, she has always been poor and honest, and she has no special hobbies, and after the death of her father, she is even more alone, and she has already regarded the county government as the only destination for the second half of her life.

There seemed to be a sharp knife in the cold wind, but there was a circle of transparent glass walls around the high pavilion to block the wind, and at this time, only the sound of the whistling and raging wind could be heard, scurrying around the high pavilion.

Sitting face to face with Zhang Ying, there was only a hook-like crescent moon in the sky, so that the stars in the sky became the protagonist, reflecting a pond in the courtyard as if sprinkled with a layer of fine silver ore.

"Lord Zhang, why do you highly recommend Zhang Yingying? He doesn't seem to have anything special......" Nanshan asked after taking a sip of some light tea.

"Nandian doesn't know, not long ago I took people to the surrounding mountains and forests to suppress bandits, Jingmen martial arts hall also made a lot of efforts, that time I witnessed Zhang Yingying can be one enemy ten, after coming back, I also immediately invited him to join the patrol team, but he was rejected three or four times, General Fu told me that Zhang Yingying is really a rare martial arts wizard in a hundred years, but there is a little bit missing...... Guts. ”

Zhang Ying glanced at His Excellency Gao, and heard the faint sound of shouting in the cold wind, without thinking too much, this must be Zhang Yingying doing his evening class diligently.

"That'...... Then my concerns are right, what if I really meet a thug and he leaves me behind and runs away by himself? No, no, no, tomorrow you go to the martial arts hall to change a few people for me, or, you send a few elites from the patrol team to ......" Nanshan said this, but in a joking tone, after all, she left the Star Temple alone, and it seemed that she didn't plan to bring any guards along the way.

"Nandian, I know you are hiding it, in fact, ......" Zhang Ying hesitated a little and did not continue.

"Do you want me to train him along the way?" Nanshan smiled playfully, at this time, she did not have the majesty and arrogance of being the high priest of the temple, if it weren't for the priceless Star Life Chain around her neck and wrists, she would look more like a kind and lovely girl next door.

"General Fu has explained, whether it is the Jingmen Martial Arts Hall or him, he can only teach Zhang Yingying some qi and blood cultivation, and the breakthrough in the mind, I am afraid that no one in the whole country can compare to the South Palace......" Zhang Ying arched his hand, and he was about to stand up and salute.

"Sit down, you sit down."

Nanshan hurriedly waved his hand, leaned back in the chair, and said, "Do you want him to break through the realm of humanism and rise to the realm of Yihua?" It's strange, what does he have to do with you? You're going to help him like this......"

"Cough, I'm ......" Zhang Ying was stunned, obviously she hadn't figured out how to answer, she also knew that she couldn't make up lies at will, the person in front of her was not so easy to deceive, so she straightened her face, stood up in the end, bowed down and said: "Father has an explanation before he dies, let me take care of it...... Descendants of the Zhang family. ”

This time, Nanshan was stunned, she just drank a sip of hot tea, and almost didn't squirt out, even if she knew the number of celestial phenomena, she definitely wouldn't have thought that Zhang Ying and Zhang Yingying would have such a relationship.

"Descendants of the Zhang family...... Yes, what does that mean? Nanshan still wants to confirm.

"My father told me when he was dying, Ah Xiong is my half-brother, just because his mother is special, so my father even hid it from me."

Zhang Ying told a story of his father's past in a few words, Zhang Yingying's mother was a wandering witch doctor in the East Xia Kingdom, only because of the war at the border, he was seriously injured, and fled to the territory of the Blue Moon Country to hide, and happened to meet Zhang's father, who was transporting supplies to the border at that time, and the two became acquainted.

However, after all, the two countries were incompatible, and Zhang's father couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes about the affairs of his family and country, and when he knew that Zhang Yingying's mother was a subject of the Eastern Xia Kingdom, he immediately and ruthlessly abandoned her. It wasn't until many years later that Zhang's father saw the bullied Zhang Yingying on the street, and saw the token given to the woman from him, that he learned that Yiren had died.

Soon after the woman came to Lingzhou County, she died of illness due to soil and water inadaptability, and the lonely Zhang Yingying could only beg along the street and be bullied.

"Actually, maybe I really blamed Zhu Yunfeng, my father was in a strange Gu, or maybe it was because of that woman's ......," Zhang Ying muttered to herself.

"Hmm, when you say that, I still remember Mr. Zhang's symptoms at that time, and it is indeed somewhat similar to the witchcraft of the Eastern Xia Kingdom." Nanshan touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

Zhang Ying lowered her eyes and saluted respectfully: "Since General Fu has also recognized Zhang Yingying, he may really be a material that can be made, with you by his side to help him cultivate his mind, why worry that one day he will not be able to break the realm of enlightenment?" ”

"Hey, I have to take in an apprentice for some reason, and I don't know if he is protecting me or I am protecting him along the way......" Nanshan muttered in his mouth, also stood up, walked to the side of the glass wall that fell to the ground in a few steps, looked at the stars in the sky and replied with some distraction: "Let me think about it for one night." ”

"Then, then I won't disturb the South Hall for now, the room should have been cleaned up, I'll tell you again......" Zhang Ying bowed respectfully to Nanshan's back, turned around and went downstairs.

Nanshan tilted his head and habitually began to observe the arrangement of the stars from north to south, while feeling that he was really a little sick, and he had already deduced it countless times on the Xingtai before leaving......

Who knows, when her eyes drifted leisurely to the pond in the courtyard, she suddenly felt that something was wrong......

She was shocked, and in her hurry, she even hit the transparent glass wall at once, but she didn't care about the pain in her forehead and nose bone, and slammed her palm on the glass wall in front of her......

As the entire glass wall more than one person high fell down the high pavilion and shattered on the masonry road in the courtyard, Nanshan immediately rushed out with an arrow step, and climbed lightly under her feet, landing on the railing of the high pavilion, and then her whole body rose into the air, and with this moment as if flying to the sky and the moon, she arranged the stars in front of her again.

Zhang Ying, who had not gone far, heard the sound of the glass breaking, and hurriedly turned around to check, but what he saw was already Nanshan hanging in the air, and Zhang Yingying, who was practicing in the corner of the courtyard just now, was also looking at Nanshan with a stunned face at this moment......

Nanshan's lips trembled and she lowered her head, on the quiet side of the water in the pond in the courtyard, there was a star map that was completely opposite to what she had seen in the Wenxing Observatory before.

"This sign is...... Deathmatch? ”

The whistling wind was like countless sharp knives slashing across Nanshan's face, and she only felt that those sharp knives seemed to have pierced her heart in an instant.

"Qingyue is in danger!"

Under the starry sky, Zhang Ying heard Nanshan's almost mournful shout.
