When everyone in the Yang family heard that they were going to the gravel slope, they were all very excited.

They are all elites selected by the eldest princess and the old marquis from the juniors, carefully raised since childhood, and when they are old, they have to go to the army for training, and then they return to Yang Shu as an errand.

In other words, they are real soldiers who have fought in battle, how can they not aspire to return to the battlefield?

When Ning Xiu heard about this, he silently pulled his sword out of the piano and wiped it several times.

When Yang Shu came over, the brothers and sisters sat for a while before he asked, "Did you do it on purpose?" ”

"What?"

"If you can find Zong Xu, the Zong family will definitely be grateful to you."

Yang Shu smiled: "I don't deny that there is this factor, but if you want to go to the gravel slope, the main thing is that you don't want to sit and can't do anything." ”

Ning Xiu thought for a moment and nodded.

"Senior brother, do you agree with me?"

Ning Xiu polished the sword body and inserted it back into the piano before saying, "As long as you don't do evil things." ”

Everyone packed up and turned over on their horses.

Yang Shu looked at Mingwei and came out, frowned and said, "Your body is cold, it's such a cold day, don't go out." ”

Ming smiled and said, "You don't want to sit still, and of course I don't want to." What's more, I don't feel at ease if you go like this, even if something happens, it's always good to be in one place. ”

In front of so many people, she said that her face did not change, and Yang Shu was a little embarrassed.

After two voices, he said: "You have to go with it, wear thicker clothes, and don't forget to put soft armor on it." ”

Mingwei wrapped her cloak and said, "Don't worry, I'm all dressed." ”

The gate of Baimenxia was opened again, and more than 30 horsemen went out of the city pass and went north along the avenue.

Zong Rui deliberately came out to see them off, and at this time, he watched their backs slowly disappear into the snow, and he was full of emotion.

"It is said that Yang San is a nonsense, but I didn't expect that at such a moment, he was willing to risk his life to lend a hand."

Hearing what he said, he was also embarrassed to join the army: "I went to the capital a few years ago, and I heard that Yang Sangongzi was famous for his nonsense, and I thought it was a straw bag with a false appearance, but when I saw the real person, I knew how wrong the rumors were." It's a pity, why can't his identity be seen in the light? ”

This soldier is Zong Xu's henchman, and he was also present on the night of the arrest of the black robe.

Zong Rui lowered his voice: "Even if his identity sees the light, he doesn't have that chance." There are several princes, where is his turn? ”

After thinking about it, he said: "No matter how the battle is above, our clan only abides by the ancestral teachings and is loyal to the monarch and defends the country. Don't say that next time. ”

The soldier nodded yes.

He also sighed for a while, and he also knew in his heart that not only did Yang Shu not have the slightest chance, but it was not easy to save his life.

"Let's go, let's go back, the battle report of Ningyi Pass should arrive."

……

Guo Xu was also on the city wall at this time, but he was not with Zong Rui.

Seeing him frowning and looking at the place where Yang Shu and his party left, his nephew asked tentatively, "Sixth Uncle, aren't you happy?" ”

Guo Xu shook his head and said, "I just can't guess, what does Yang San want to do?" ”

The nephew said: "Going to the north in the wind and snow like this, shouldn't it be a trick?" After all, it's the front line, and there are snow difficulties, and if you don't pay attention, you will lose your life. He also said, "I didn't expect Yang Sangongzi to be so righteous, and the Zong family himself didn't dare to send people easily, so he didn't say a word." ”

Guo Xu's brows did not stretch for a minute.

Even, the nephew's kind words made him even more suspicious.

This kind of crisis is a good time to buy people's hearts. Look at his nephew, who follows him every day, and he doesn't have a good impression of Yang San, but now he actually starts to say good things about him.

Guo Xiangye, who was disgraced in Beijing, instinctively doubted everything.

……

The march in the snow was not easy, from Baimen Gorge to the gravel slope, the fast horses were only a day's journey, and they walked for three days before they arrived.

Yang Shu sighed: "If General Zong is really buried in the snow, his corpse will be frozen dry for so many days." ”

Mingwei said casually: "I see that his luck is condensed, and he shouldn't be so unlucky." I don't know where I was blocked by the snow, and I couldn't get out. ”

Yang Shu asked, "Then how is our luck?" He's okay, won't we be unlucky, right? ”

Ming smiled: "Your face doesn't match your luck, how can you see it accurately?" It's bad enough anyway, what's there to be afraid of? ”

Yang Shu muttered, "That's really not good......

"It's not easy to sound good, I'm going to say a bunch of good things now, do you believe it or not?"

Yang Shu hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget it, what kind of god stick should you be." ”

Ming smiled and turned his head to ask Ning Xiu: "Sir, let's go and take a look at the terrain, shall we?" ”

"Okay." Ning Xiu replied simply.

So the group dismounted, found a leeward place to bury a pot to boil water, and rested.

Ming Wei and Ning Xiu performed light exercises, looking for high ground in order to observe the mountain.

The two of them stood on a high slope with an unobstructed view of the surrounding terrain.

Ming Wei said: "The mountain range here is trending, and the gate of the dark formation is closed. Master told me in the early years that the so-called formations all come from the mountains and rivers and the earth's veins, and this is indeed the case. ”

Ning Xiu gave her a strange look.

"What's wrong with sir? Am I not right? ”

Ning Xiu shook his head: "When I was a teenager, my ancestor also said so. ”

Speaking of this, Mingwei asked, "Sir, don't you think that the mystics we have learned are quite similar?" ”

Ning Xiu nodded.

"It's really weird, my master has always been a one-handed ......"

"Me too." Ning Xiu said, "Although the master has accepted two disciples, the occult arts have all been passed on to me, and the junior brother has only learned that swordsmanship. ”

"But Sir didn't study the occult arts."

Ning Xiu said frankly: "I don't have such a deep interest in occultism, and my level is far inferior to that of the first master. Your occult arts are much better than mine, but there are many things in common, and sometimes I feel in a trance that you are the descendant disciple of the first master. ”

Mingwei thoughtfully.

Ning Xiu didn't know that she came from decades later, and with today's eyes, he naturally couldn't guess her teacher.

There are too many coincidences, which can't help but make Mingwei think about a possibility.

In terms of age, Ning Xiu and Shizu are almost inseparable.

However, the master only passed on the name of the ancestor, and I don't know if Ning Xiu was his name before he became a monk.

Calculate the time, the time when the ancestor will return to the inheritance of the master is not far away, and if you pay attention to it at that time, you should be able to know whether this guess is true.

Over there, Ning Xiu picked up a branch and drew a formation map in the snow.

When the painting was finished, he called her over: "Come and see, I painted it right?" There are eight secret doors here, and if you can find the birth gate, maybe you can find the location of General Zong. ”

Mingwei looked at it carefully, added a few strokes a little, and discussed with him: "This is Jingmen, this should be closed here, if you give birth to the door...... It's here. ”

Ning Xiu pointed to another place: "The door is here, the door of death is here." We avoid the door of death, from entering and resting to the door of life, the safest thing is to avoid it. ”

"Hmm. Let's go, we've got to speed up, it's snowing so hard, it won't be good if the eight gates change. ”
