On Chinese New Year's Eve, the highest guard tower at Huangmen Pass.
Ning Yue, who climbed here, finally understood what kind of scene the lights of the ten thousand homes in Fang Huanlan's mouth were.
Under the starry moon, the mountains south of the border pass were dim, but in the distance, a little light dotted the land, breaking the darkness and stretching into clusters. At first glance, I thought it was a galaxy falling into the mortal world.
Looking at the hint of surprise on Ning Yue's face, Fang Huanlan smiled: "When I saw this scene for the first time, I also felt shocked. At that time, I was completely determined that even if I was a woman, I would take over the glory of my father, and be willing to sit in this bitter cold place in order to protect the people behind me. ”
Ning Yue nodded and replied, "Seriously, I admire you very much, and I admire your will. Even, a little tempted and didn't want to leave. ”
"It's just a little tempting, isn't it?" Fang Huanlan sighed lightly, suddenly turned her face to the side, and said again: "He told me everything that grandpa told you before." He's like that, I hope you'll forgive me. is obviously the northern marshal of the megatron side, but sometimes he has a temper and makes children sexual. ”
"Huh? He's going to tell you? Ning Yue was stunned, what surprised him the most was not that Marshal North had told Fang Huanlan, but that Fang Huanlan would tell him that he knew.
"As long as it's not a military secret, he can't hide what he says, and the most accustomed thing is to talk to me."
The muttering voice began to decrease, and Fang Huanlan seemed to reflect what Ning Yue really cared about.
Next, the two were speechless, just quietly looking into the distance. Fang Zhuosheng, who came up with them, didn't know where to retreat for a long time, and there were no other people in this area.
"Well, it's a little cold up there, let's go down, your leg injury isn't healing, don't freeze."
Finally, Ning Yue opened his mouth to break the silence.
Fang Huanlan didn't move, continued to look at the night scene in front of her, and muttered in a low voice: "This time, when will you come back?" ”
Ning Yue shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It depends on the situation." When I think of you former companions, I'll definitely come back to check it out. I just hope that when the time comes, don't let me in. ”
"As long as you don't mind, no matter how long it takes...... I'll wait for you ......"
Fang Huanlan's voice was even quieter, as thin as a mosquito's chirping.
In this regard, Ning Yue didn't know why: "What? ”
"Nothing. Let's go down, it's a little cold here. ”
Under the tower, Ning Yue helped Fang Huanlan to carefully step down the steps, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow crashing into him, and he didn't have time to dodge, only to feel a warm body hit his chest.
"Hey, Ning Yue, the rice wine brewed by the soldiers here tastes really good, can you have a drink too?"
That person turned out to be Chang Xuanxuan, with a drunken face, and a large wooden cup in his hand was shaking, exuding a faint sweet aroma of wine.
"Xuanxuan, I said that you are not allowed to drink so much. And don't go to Ning Yue for a drink, don't forget the laws of the empire! ”
In the rear, Twilight Yinyin grabbed Chang Xuanxuan's hair and pulled him back.
During this period, Ning Yue felt that the other party still glared at him with a little resentment in a trance.
"It's fine. Outside the generals, the military order is not subject to it. It's Chinese New Year's Eve again, it's so cold, it's good to warm up with a few glasses of rice wine. ”
Suddenly, a warm wooden cup was stuffed in Ning Yue's hand, and when he turned his head, it was General Lu who persuaded him to drink. Behind him, he could vaguely see Marshal North with a group of soldiers, directly holding the jar and drinking freely.
"Didn't you feel a little cold just now? Drink a little and warm up. ”
Ning Yue handed the wine glass to Fang Huanlan, who hurriedly caught it and responded softly.
In the distance, under the festive lights, the joy and hustle and bustle continued. This is probably the most lively time when there is no war here.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
On the first day of the new year, it should not have traveled far, but for many caravans who have stayed here for too long, it has passed Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is almost on the road. It is doomed to be delayed in business, but at least the money must be earned and rushed back to reunite with the family that has been separated for a long time.
Naturally, there was no caravan going to Chaowu Prefecture by the way, but one of the caravans would reach the edge of the border of all countries, the Wuxi Empire bordering Chaowu Prefecture, and Ning Yue's request had already been mentioned to the head of the caravan, and the other party readily agreed.
After staying in this pass for so long, there are some things that these caravans have naturally heard of, and they know how much about Ning Yue's military exploits. The war outside the gate is temporarily suspended, but it is destined to remain unpeaceful, and it is likely that there will be a small group of ringing horses or demon stragglers, and it is too late for them to be happy to have such a strong person with them.
"Everyone, take care."
After jumping on the horse, Ning Yue waved goodbye to his companions who came to see him off not far away, no matter what he said, he was more or less reluctant in his heart. After getting along for so long, fighting side by side all the way to this, how can there be no sadness at the moment of separation.
Seeing the reluctance in his eyes, Chang Xuanxuan beckoned: "Hey, if you are reluctant, don't leave at all, isn't it okay to go back with us?" ”
"Your home is in this Snow Dragon Empire, and you have concerns. But I'm different, and the only thing I have for this time is my best friends. There is no feast in the world, and when there is gathering, there is separation. Every time you are separated, you can also be more happy when you get together again. Since there is fate, I will definitely see you again. Guys, let's go. ”
Ning Yue waved his hand and smiled, and set off with the caravan. He didn't dare to turn back, for fear that he would have a little more attachment because of this, and he was really reluctant to leave.
Glaring at the back, Twilight Yinyin turned her head and snorted, "Hmph, just go, pretend to be handsome." The experience does not mean that you can still do it when you go out and travel, and the next time he comes back, I will let him understand what the gap is. ”
"Something like that, like you said it a few months ago. I remember that at that time, you were thrown away a lot by Ning Yue. Chang Xuanxuan took a step closer and grinned.
"Xuanxuan, do you have to mention that stubble?"
Twilight Yinyin feigned anger, raised her hand and shook her small fist in front of Chang Xuanxuan,
"What about that stubble? You were able to defeat me at the beginning, and you threatened to overpower me forever. However, the last time we met again in Xinghuang City, they lost to me. On the side, Xiao Ao also interjected with a smile.
Twilight Yinyin glared at Xiao Ao and said, "Xiao Ao, believe it or not, I'll go back and tell Sister Di about your case?" I think, if you didn't want to go back to see her, maybe you would have left with Ning Yue, right? ”
Who knows, Xiao Ao shook his head without thinking and replied: "Of course not." I think about the same as you, and I'll let him know the gap when we meet again. Still, I'm sure I'll do it. ”
"Hmph, then before he comes back, let's compare!"
And when they were angry with each other, the caravan and the escort sent by the border soldiers had gradually left the customs, and the escort team would not be too far away, but at least it would ensure the safety of the border area of the Snow Dragon Empire. If you go further, stepping into the vicinity of other empires' borders will inevitably cause misunderstandings, and you must return early.
Ning Yue had heard General Lu mention these before he set off. It's just that what he didn't expect was that it was Fang Huanlan who was in charge of the escort this time. But since he set off this morning, the other party seems to have been deliberately avoiding him, and he hasn't even greeted him.
"Brother Ning Yue, you seem to care about that female general very much. I've vaguely heard that you're old friends, and this time you should be at the border together. ”
Noticing Ning Yue's gaze, Di Hu, the son of the director in the caravan, leaned over and smiled playfully. He is the same age as Ning Yue, and this time he followed his father to go to business not only to familiarize himself with the business process, but also to act as a half of the guard. As a result, he became familiar with Ning Yue all of a sudden.
Ning Yue told the truth and replied: "Yes, I met at the Imperial Academy of Silver Wing City, and I have been friends with her since that time. So ......"
At this moment, Dihu interrupted and said, "If you really care, don't go, stay with her." I see that she deliberately avoided you today, obviously angry. But don't worry, since she is willing to come out to send off, there is still a play. Maybe I'm going to take this to see what you think. ”
Stretching out his hand and pushing the other party's head away, Ning Yue turned his face away and said, "I finally understand why your name is Dihu, and there are some nonsense in your mouth." ”
Dihu's head was pushed, but he was still shouting, "What is nonsense? I'm a year or two older than you, and I followed my father to go on business, and I can see the world, and of course I know better than you. Listen to my brother's advice, some things can't be delayed or waited, otherwise you will regret it in the future......"
In this regard, Ning Yue chose to ignore it, rode his horse forward, and rushed directly to the front of the caravan. Further ahead was the escort in charge of opening the way, if it was another caravan member, they might stop it from coming forward, but since it was Ning Yue, they naturally chose to let him go and let him go.
However, he did not stop at the forefront, but overtook all the escorts and continued to gallop forward.
"Ning Yue, don't rush too far ahead."
Seeing this scene, Fang Huanlan finally spoke out to stop it, which was also the first thing she said to Ning Yue today.
Hearing this, Ning Yue stopped at this time, turned around and shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
"I saw the vastness of this wasteland for a while, and I stayed in the city for a long time, and I couldn't help but let go and run."
"I've had the same feelings. If you don't go to this northern wasteland, where can you see such a vast view. But don't forget, those nomadic tribes don't really have to be far away, so it's better to be careful. ”
"Understood."
However, Fang Huanlan's worries seemed to be completely superfluous, and the road was very calm, except for the birds in the sky above, there were no other creatures at all, let alone pedestrians.
In the afternoon, the sunset appeared in the sky, and Fang Huanlan, who had been riding side by side with Ning Yue all the way, finally spoke again, saying: "It's almost time to reach the border of the neighboring country, and we can't continue to send each other." These caravans roamed the area all year round, and they should have been in contact with the border guards of the rest of the empire, so they knew how to walk safely. At this point, it's time for me to say goodbye to you. ”
"Thank you for all the way. Unexpectedly, the last one to say goodbye was you. Take care. ”
Ning Yue arched his hand and replied, bowing slightly.
"Take care."
At the same time as returning the salute, Fang Huanlan made a move with a horizontal spear, and hundreds of iron horsemen under his command stopped together, and their movements were almost the same. However, she herself did not stop and continued to move forward.
"I'll send you again, if it's just me, it should be fine."
Glancing at the other party's civilian clothes, not armor uniforms, Ning Yue understood in his heart, just smiled and nodded, and did not reply.
After walking another five miles, finally, Fang Huanlan also stopped her pace, looked at a land boundary monument near the intersection of the mountain range in the distance, and finally shook her head.
"Ning Yue, I can't step over, take care."
"Take care. In the future, I will definitely go back to the deserted gate to find you. I just don't know if you were already the Marshal of the Imperial North at that time. ”
Ning Yue waved and smiled, and also stopped walking.
Fang Huanlan replied: "Then how long do you plan to come back and see?" If it was twenty years later, maybe I would have taken my grandfather's place. ”
"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting that long."
Waving, Ning Yue rode forward again.
"Hopefully, we'll meet soon."
Turning to leave, Fang Huanlan drank, and the war horses under the seat rushed out with all their might, running against each other.
"Hey, is that really going away?"
Seeing Ning Yue catch up with the caravan, Dihu shrugged his shoulders.
Ning Yue replied: "Is it possible, go back after walking so far?" Okay, don't talk nonsense about you, she and I are just friends, we just fought side by side so far, and we have a deep friendship. Well? ”
At last, he suddenly let out a cry of doubt.
I saw that in the distance ahead, there was still a caravan clinging to the stone wall of the mountain range, which was more than ten large carts, moving slowly and slowly.
"Dihu, why do I think that caravan looks a little strange?"
