Northwest, as long as you hear these two words, you can feel the desolation here, the most in the northwest is the wilderness, and then there is the cold mountain, the snow mountain does not melt all year round, it is the cold mountain.

The northwest is just a general term for the borders of the empire, just as there are two counties in the southwest, and there are also two counties in the northwest, the northernmost is Mobei County, one of the nine counties, and the west is Gangneung County.

There is no hope in the desert north, and the ghost crosses the plain.

Unlike Jiangnan, the local war has not been interrupted in the northwest, and under the suppression of Bai Qi in the southwest, only the baptism of successive years remains, and now only the border army in the northwest is left in the naval battle.

They are also human beings, they also have to eat, they also have to dress, and after the fierce battle, they also need some comfort, but according to the laws of Daqin, even the families of the border army are not allowed to enter the barracks, and the frontier army stationed at the forefront of Mobei County, which stretches for more than 2,000 miles, has 200,000 people, and at least 50,000 soldiers are stationed in this Guidu Plain, and their backyard is Guidu City.

The families of the border army, the military personnel, the settled border people, the army treasury, the reception, the border trade merchants, the caravans, the builders of all kinds, etc., naturally formed a small but extremely lively border city in the open area of the rear where it is impossible for the enemy to attack, this is the ghost city, because General Wang is too lazy to take the name, so here is called the ghost city with the name of the ghost crossing original.

Oni crossing, as the name suggests, is naturally a demon crossing, where it was once a barren area, it seems that only ghosts will live in that place.

In the city, some rickety, gray-haired Liang Pocheng paced in the dirt alleys of Guidu City.

There is a blue-walled house in the deep alley in the north of the city, and it is evening, and there is a faint smell of meat inside.

Liang Pocheng walked under the cyan house wall, stepped lightly on the ground with one foot, and easily jumped over the high house wall.

The place where you settle is only a green brick courtyard, and there are two sycamore trees planted in the courtyard, although it is the season of blooming, but there are no sycamore leaves, and the bare poles look desolate.

In front of a sycamore, a merchant in a crimson brocade robe sat on a pine chair, leaning on the chair with a look of enjoyment.

Seeing Liang Pocheng suddenly enter over the wall, this businessman who was about the same age as Liang Pocheng, but his face was full of red light, his face was full of wealth and nobility, and he was a little out of place with the scenery of this ghost city, but then he sat down again, clicked on the open mahogany gate, looked at Liang Pocheng with a straight face and said: "The door is open, why did you jump over the wall?"

Liang Pocheng smiled and didn't answer the question, but mocked: "You are lucky again, you looked like a talent back then, but now you have a fat head and big ears, and you have horizontal flesh on your face, and you really look happy. ”

Shang Jia's face was gloomy, and he said with a dissatisfied face: "When you get older, you will always become ugly, so that you seem to look good, the old man is a handful, I really think that the gray hair is in the wind, I bah!"

Liang Pocheng stroked the little beard that had just grown under his chin, turned his head to look at the wall he had just jumped over, and said with emotion: "You asked me why I jumped over the wall?

"Can the things you did back then really succeed, even if there was no later thing, you think you will definitely survive, it's really a joke, I just don't want to put my life in it. Shang Jia looked at Liang Pocheng with a sneer, and said, "When ** Don't dare to make a move on me, because you know that you may not be my opponent, and my rank is above you, assassinating me is a capital crime, but I don't understand, how dare you appear in front of me now, you have endured it for so many years, why did you come back today, you must know that in order to disgust you, I have endured staying in this broken place for ten years, although you have become much stronger over the years, but I will not be much weaker than you today, and although my rank is one order lower than you, our identities today are far from what they used to be, and you want to kill me, the crime is heavier。 ”

After a slight pause, Shang Jia looked at Liang Pocheng with a calm face and said: "If you just want to catch up with me, jumping this wall can make you feel more comfortable, then you can go out now, I don't want to spoil this rare leisurely interest." ”

"Bi Sheng, you must be in a very worried mood now, I haven't come to you for so many years, but I appeared in front of you at this time, and you are afraid. Lian Pocheng smiled, looked at Shang Jia and said: " You also understand, after so many years, of course I won't get nervous and jump this wall again, the reason why I haven't come all these years is not because I dare not come, but because I really don't have time, the reason why you came here is not because I am disgusted with me, but because you are really afraid, because you are afraid so you can only choose this closest place to me, you are afraid that I don't know when to kill you, you are afraid of the feeling of waiting for death every day, so you will choose here, here you can at least sleep with peace of mind, even if I want to kill you, it will only appear directly in front of your eyes, and I will not think too much, you also know that I am lazy, so I haven't thought about it all these years. ”

Shang Jia narrowed his eyes slightly, the ten fingers in his sleeve trembled slightly, and he involuntarily looked out of the door.

"Don't worry, I didn't bring anyone with me. I won't let those brothers of mine die with me, I know that you are very strong, and you are the chief of the imperial court in the northwest, and when you are the great officer of the fourth rank of the court, if you want to kill you, you always have to pay some price, so I just came by myself. Liang Pocheng didn't have any tension before the killing, but sat down very casually on a stone chair opposite Shang Jia: "You wait patiently for a while, if my news and judgment are accurate, someone will appear soon, and then you will understand what is going on, and I will always let you die to understand that it is not, you always have to calculate the accounts of so many years, don't you?"

Liang Pocheng's tone was very calm, but for some reason, the merchant who had been in a high position all these years, and who had long been immobile for a long time, couldn't help but shudder, although he looked like an ordinary businessman, but he was indeed the general manager of the Northwest Household Department, in charge of the grain, grass and coins of a county in Mobei County, it can be said that he is the God of Wealth for everyone in Mobei.

"Bi Sheng, you must be in a very worried mood now, I haven't come to you for so many years, but I appeared in front of you at this time, and you are afraid. Lian Pocheng smiled, looked at Shang Jia and said: " You also understand, after so many years, of course I won't get nervous and jump this wall again, the reason why I haven't come all these years is not because I dare not come, but because I really don't have time, the reason why you came here is not because I am disgusted with me, but because you are really afraid, because you are afraid so you can only choose this closest place to me, you are afraid that I don't know when to kill you, you are afraid of the feeling of waiting for death every day, so you will choose here, here you can at least sleep with peace of mind, even if I want to kill you, it will only appear directly in front of your eyes, and I will not think too much, you also know that I am lazy, so I haven't thought about it all these years. ”
