Chapter 1: Farewell to the Summit

On the wide loess official road, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man drove a simple and elegant carriage forward. Although the road was uneven, the carriage was slow, and the people in the carriage did not suffer any bumps.

"Ahem~" An abrupt light cough broke the silence on the trail.

The handsome young man in the car, who was originally leaning on the wall of the car and reading quietly, put down the book in his hand, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, moved his somewhat numb body, and lifted the corner of the window to look out.

"Young master, the road is windy, let's put down the curtains!" The man sighed lightly and persuaded.

Hearing this, the young man retracted his gaze, covered the regret and loneliness in his eyes, lowered the curtains, and picked up the book on the side again, but his consciousness drifted away a little.

"Uncle Yinyue, those little twelve horsemen are about to start class today, right?" The words couldn't get into his heart, so the young man simply opened his mouth and chatted with the man.

"Yes, young master, at this time, Lixing must start teaching!"

"I heard there's a little girl in there?" The boy's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"Well, it's the little girl of the Glimpse Family, when the girl was still in her mother's womb, Miss Li told her about Miss every day, so that the little girl said all day long that she wanted to grow up like Miss!" The nostalgia in Yinyue's eyes flashed, and then she explained with a smile.

"Nian Chu, good name! Like a sister? I'm afraid it's hard to have a woman as charming as my sister in this world! The boy muttered, his thoughts flying farther and farther away......

Ten years ago

"Xiao Chu, my sister, you have been smart since childhood, gentle and humble, but I and you are the opposite, stupid and conceited, unclear about people, and really wrong, so that your reputation is ruined, and you are forced to die and leave home, and your father and brother are more tired and the Bai family is full of families, and your reputation is lost, and you can't die well! Now I have repented of the evil fruits, full of remorse, and I have taken the first step. May you be well! If there is an afterlife, I will do my best to protect you to pay for what I owe in this life! Sister Wan Yu stayed"

Xu Mengmeng put the blood-colored silk handkerchief in his hand into the pocket of his clothes, and sighed slightly, it is really sad since ancient times!

"Miss, the city is ready!" A man dressed in black and with an ordinary appearance pushed the door in and bowed slightly to Xu Mengmeng.

"Let's go! Qingli, remember to call me young master in the future, if you are wrong next time, you don't have to appear in front of me again in the future! ”

Xu Mengmeng picked up the silver mask on the table and knocked on his face, straightened his back and strode towards the door, half a month's hard work was not in vain, every move revealed a man's free and easy, with a cyan dress, he was a young man, and the words he said were also cold and dumb.

"Yes, young master, Qing Li knows his mistake!" When the cyan figure disappeared from his sight, Qing Li breathed a sigh of relief and followed, and the anger on the young lady's body seemed to be heavier.

"Young master, Xiao Qi found out that most areas of the Western Chu Kingdom have suffered from drought this year, and the losses have been heavy, and there are even no harvests in many places, recently, some spies have found that the strength of Shicheng outside the Xixia Pass bordering Western Chu and my Eastern Jin Dynasty has increased a lot, and Western Chu has also made frequent moves in the country!"

The one who opened his mouth was Yinyue, who was also dressed in black and looked ordinary, he was the eldest of the twelve white ghost horsemen left by General Bai to the original Bai Wanchu, that is, the oldest, in fact, he was only twenty-four years old.

"What is the terrain of Xixia Pass?" Xu Mengmeng skillfully turned over and got on the horse.

"Although Xixia Pass is located between Yicheng on the border of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Shicheng on the border of Western Chu, the terrain is flat, whether the Eastern Jin Dynasty wants to attack Western Chu from here, or Western Chu wants to come over to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is effortless to take the border city! And because the two countries have been friendly since the previous dynasties, both countries have privately abided by an unwritten rule - the strength of Yicheng and Shicheng shall not exceed 5,000! ”

What Yinyue didn't say was that in order to make peace with the family, the first emperor and the previous monarch of Western Chu sent people to fill in the only obstacle in Guanzhong, Liuyun River, and now if Western Chu sends cavalry to attack it, I am afraid that it will be easy to win in less than half an hour and take Yicheng.

"Stone City is now ......"

"Miss, please take the slave and maid with you! The slave promised the old lady to take good care of the young lady! The slave promises not to cause trouble to the young lady! ”

Without waiting to ask Yinyue for more information, an emerald green figure stopped in front of the horse, Xu Mengmeng stroked his forehead with a headache, he was most afraid of this kind of die-hard person!

"Zizhu, the Bai family is full of loyalty, but the crime of collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion was raided and exterminated, fortunately, my father's old friends tried their best to save Junning, the only seedling, you and I grew up together since childhood, I have long regarded you as a sister in my heart, and now Junning is young, I can only trust you!

I can't avenge the family's feud, but I vow to wash away the Bai family's grievances! But if there is anything else in the world that I am worth caring about, it is you and Junning, so promise me to take care of yourself! Take care of Junning! Driving~"

After Xu Mengmeng finished speaking, he tugged on the reins hard, the horse turned around in pain and walked away, the wind passed through his ears, and Xu Mengmeng let the tears fly down.

"Miss, take care, woo~" When the blue color was no longer seen on the mountain road, Zizhu couldn't help but sit on the ground and cover his face and cry softly. Miss, the slave will definitely live up to your expectations and take good care of the little master!

"Sister Zizhu, the second sister won't be like her father, she will definitely come back, right! cough~" Out of the room came a half-human tall boy dressed in blue with a pale face, he stood quietly beside Zizhu, a pair of deep eyes staring at the mountain road that the horse was running on.

"Well, Miss is so smart, she will definitely be able to avenge the General's Mansion soon! Little master, you are weak and the wind is strong on the top of the mountain, please come into the house and put on your cloak! Uncle Zhong and I have already packed up, so let's hurry up and hit the road while it's still early, so that we can find a remote small county town to settle down as soon as possible! ”

Thinking of the young lady's previous arrangement, Zizhu got up and wiped away the tears on her face, took the boy's hand and walked towards the house.

Half an hour later, the master and servant stayed on the top of the mountain with only a piece of ashes left for a moment and then headed down the mountain.

"Qingli, when you come to us in a while, you remember to say what we have discussed in advance, and act according to my eyes in case of emergencies!" In the gap between queuing up to enter the city, Xu Mengmeng glanced at Yinyue and Qingli beside him, the hand holding the reins tightened, and whispered to the right side again.

"Stop, who's who?" Suddenly stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, Xu Mengmeng's already nervous little face tightened.

"Hello to a few poor masters, isn't it the end of the year, my lord asked the young master to take us to Rongcheng to visit relatives, this is our identity document, a few poor masters, please take a look!" Qing Li unhurriedly took out a few pieces of yellow paper in his arms, and handed them over with half a tael of silver.

"Registered, you guys go over! Remember, you can't ride a horse in the city, you know? The guard shook the silver in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes, yes, thank you! A few bad men have worked hard! Qing Li put away the paperwork returned by the guard, and handed over half a tael of silver without a trace, the guard's hand waved to show that he was allowed to go, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and led their horses to the city.

"Wait!" Seeing that several people were about to enter the city, a deep voice suddenly came in from the side. Xu Mengmeng and the three of them stood still in place, and a middle-aged man in armor stopped in front of them, and the hearts of the three of them instantly lifted, and a little cold sweat broke out in the palms of their hands.

"You, take off your mask!" The middle-aged uncle walked around Xu Mengmeng and looked directly into her eyes and ordered, being watched by a pair of sharp eyes, Xu Mengmeng's breathing couldn't help but light a little, his legs couldn't help but tremble, the fist behind his back tightened, and the pain of his nails embedded in his palms made him sober up a little and slowly regained his composure.

"My lord, my young master's appearance is really ......, please save him some face!" Qing Li grabbed the middle-aged uncle and winked at him, his expression was quite indescribable, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly showed clear eyes.

"What are you talking nonsense to tell the truth, Ben Shao has always known that he is better than Pan An, and he is the idol of thousands of girls, even the charm of Cuiyue Lou is also obsessed with Ben Shao, how many times has Ben Shao said that this time I should go back to visit relatives to be low-key, low-key understand? You kid actually praised me for having the world's posture in front of so many people, how can I be low-key when you call me young master! How low-key! ”

Xu Mengmeng picked up the folding fan on his waist and chased after Qing Li and slashed indiscriminately, the original tense atmosphere dissipated at once, everyone covered their mouths and laughed, but at this time, Yin Yue, who was acting as an invisible person on the side, also muttered in a low voice, and the corners of everyone's mouths suddenly cracked even bigger.

"It's not that Mei Niang who knows that the young master is generous, otherwise she would have been kicked out by Cuiyue Lou with her face!"

"Yinzi, what are you muttering nonsense?" Xu Mengmeng was tired of beating people, and immediately aimed the artillery at Yinyue on the other side, and performed an arrogant and narcissistic noble son in front of everyone.

"Young master, temperament, temperament!" Yinyue is also the first time to see her own young lady like this, she is nervous and funny, but she still looks like a dog's leg on her face.

"Well, temperament!" Xu Mengmeng immediately straightened his back and put his hands behind his back, if he hadn't just seen the scene just now, everyone thought that this was a cold young man.

"Since everyone wants to see Ben Shao's flower and moon appearance, Ben Shao is in a good mood today, so I will fulfill you! Although my mother said that I should not take off my mask casually, lest you think about my face and suffer from lovesickness, and I will not eat or drink, but my father also said that beautiful things should be displayed......"

Xu Mengmeng muttered while untying the secret button behind his head, seeing this, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, except for Yinyue and Qingli who were full of vigilance, everyone else was curious.
