For example, outside the cloth market on Tanglin South Street, there is a very small and ordinary noodle shop.

The owner of the shop is called Zhang Sanliang, who was a vegetable farmer in the early years, and later had some savings, so he bought this shop. This man in his forties is honest, usually doesn't talk much, drinks at most three taels, grabs it casually, and the next bowl of noodles is exactly three taels.

"Forget it, don't do it. ”

As usual, he was kneading the dough well, but suddenly he slapped the dough on the table, and drank a little annoyed.

"What's the nerve?"

His wife, a woman in a thin padded jacket with patches and sleeves pulled underneath, was startled and scolded.

"I don't know what's going on, but if there's going to be a war again, there's a big reckless barbarian... What's the point of making noodles and making noodles. ”

Zhang Sanliang looked at the dough in front of him with a calm face, as if it was the reckless army that caused them to live in peace, and he was very anxious.

The neighbors who were waiting to eat noodles in the shop suddenly heard that he wanted to close suddenly, and they were immediately unhappy, and they shouted for noodles one after another.

"Even if you're going to die soon, you're going to be a full ghost!"

"I finally accumulated some copper, is it so difficult to eat a bowl of birthday noodles, I haven't eaten meat noodle soup for a long time!"

Someone banged on the table in indignation and yelled.

Everyone in this noodle shop was a little anxious.

The spring rainy season in the south of Yunqin has passed, and it has not rained for several days, such as some dust flying on the streets of Tanglin... For example, everyone in Tanglin seems to be very anxious.

In the early morning of this day, there was news from the military headquarters and the Mausoleum Governor's Mansion, saying that there would be a big event in Rudongling today, but the people in the entire Lingcheng were inquiring about what major events would happen, but they couldn't inquire at all, and they just said that the news was only coming back from the border pass ahead, but it was rumored that if they left Rudongling today, they would regret it.

In the past year, even if there has been no direct fighting in Tanglin, all ordinary people have already suffered from the war.

Many people fled Rudonglin for fear of defeat in the previous battle, and many farmers did not harvest their farmland.

Many businessmen have a dismal business.

Many people like Zhang Sanliang who just want to do a small business in peace, live a peaceful life, and don't want to be displaced, always feel that they can't even eat and sleep safely, and there are repetitions at any time... Then I inexplicably felt that this day was boring and boring.

......

For example, on the city wall of Tanglin at this moment, there is an ordinary soldier in black armor named Liu Tangtian.

He was originally the same as Zhang Sanliang, an ordinary person like Dongling.

His ancestors have always been long-term workers, and it was not until after the establishment of the country in Yunqin that his father's generation finally purchased a few acres of fertile land, which can be regarded as having his own family property. This kind of peace and tranquility is not easy for his family, so his father named him Liu Farming, hoping that he can farm well and live a good life.

It's just constant fighting, constant dead people... There are many troops passing through Rudonglin, and few have returned, today I heard where the Damang army hit, and tomorrow I heard that it was time to flee... Liu Tangtian, like Zhang Sanliang, felt that this life was boring, so he relied on his strength, trusted his relationship, and joined the army.

If there really is some reckless army or rogues who can suddenly rush to Rudonglin, then it will be forgotten.

At this moment, the city wall is dark, and his hands are full of calluses, and Liu Tangtian thinks so.

However, he never saw any troops, or heard the news from above that the large armies on the front were fighting again.

In the midday sun, he just saw a group of people appear on the official road.

For example, there was an inexplicable commotion on the city tower of Tanglin.

Because all the sergeants on the tower could see that the group was a little different from ordinary people, even if they were far away, they could feel the fatigue of that group of people, and an indescribable edge.

There are many soldiers who have retired from the front line in Lingcheng, some are still recuperating from their wounds, some have already served as instructors of local armies, and some will become captains of some armies, leading some new troops who do not have much combat experience to go to the front again. Among them, there are many who retreated from Qianxia Mountain before, there are many who have experienced the defeat of half of Nanling Province, there are many who have experienced several battles of the Falling Star Tomb, and even those who have participated in the battle of Dongjingling and Shaohualing.

These people have seen many high-ranking generals on the front line, and they have seen the battles of some powerful cultivators on the front line.

As the outlines of those people on the official road became clearer and clearer, the breathing of these people began to rapid, and their chests began to burn.

These people, now for the entire Yun Qin, are repeat offenders.

It's just that they've all seen these people fight with their own eyes.

I have seen them regardless of pain, life and death, even if they are so tired that they can't stand still, they are still fighting to protect the land of Yunqin... How can these people, who even put their own lives and deaths on the line, be criminals?

......

The sense of anxiety in Zhang Sanliang's noodle shop became stronger and stronger.

Zhang Sanliang said in annoyance that there are only those who force good people to be prostitutes in this world, and there are no people who have not been forced to make faces.

Someone shouted even more annoyedly, big brother, I just want to eat a bowl of meat soup Yangchun noodles.

Some people who later walked into the shop and wanted to eat noodles thought that the previous diners had provoked the boss, and began to ask again.

Seeing that this shop is about to fight.

At this moment, suddenly in the streets and alleys outside, someone shouted, "Lord Xiaolin is here, he is outside the city!"

Just with this sound, all the people in the entire noodle shop suddenly froze and didn't move.

"Smell people....smell people and the moon... They were caught by Lord Kobayashi!"

Then, another sound, filled with an indescribable trill, rang out.

"Wenren Cangyue has been caught!"

Then, the whole mausoleum seemed to sound with this voice.

Everyone in the entire shop looked at each other.

Suddenly all the people didn't want to eat noodles anymore.

All people are no longer agitated.

All of them opened their mouths, as if to exhale some emotion from their bodies.

"Click".

Zhang Sanliang was the first to run out of the noodle shop.

He was the one who was most familiar with the threshold of the noodle shop, but he tripped over the threshold and almost fell.

The sound of heavy footsteps, like the sound of a bell, completely woke everyone in the shop.

Everyone screamed and ran out desperately.

There were people running in all the streets.

The whole city seemed to be running.

Most of them didn't know which city gate Lin Xi was outside at all, but it seemed that they didn't need to ask anything at all at this moment, they just had to follow the flow of people.

Some people were in a hurry, and they still had half of the buns in their hands.

Some people run so fast that they don't even notice that one of the shoes on their feet has dropped.

For example, in the barracks in the Tanglin Tomb Governor's Mansion, there are many veterans who are recuperating from their wounds.

Some people are not low in rank.

Among them was an elderly man with a broken arm.

Today, when he heard the news that Lin Xi had captured Wenren Cangyue, the old man laughed.

"Wonderful! wonderful!"

The old man said it twice in a row, and laughed a few times.

He forgot to control the breath on his body for a while, and with a bang, his bed was shattered, and all the medicine jars and other things around him were also shattered.

......

Lin Xi stopped in a clearing outside the south gate of Rudonglin.

It was originally a place where many caravans would stop while they waited to clear the customs. After a long time, the ground was pressed very flat and firm.

Now there are very few caravans such as Tanglin in the past, less than one-tenth of the previous ones, so this place seems to be extraordinarily empty and extraordinarily large.

Among the people who followed Lin Xi at this moment, there were no Zhantai Qiantang and Shi Qian, Nangong Weiyang and others, but there were more Leng Qiuyu and Hua Lonely Yue.

"I'm not going into town. ”

Lin Xi looked at the several top generals in front of him, such as Dongling, and said in a low voice: "I know that you are all brought out by General Gu from the Dragon Snake Mountain Range, and I am a serious offender for the Zhongzhou Imperial City, so I will not make trouble for you." I want to see Meng Bai. ”

After respectfully asking Lin Xi if he had any other requirements, these top generals such as Dongling retreated into the city and organized a cordon at the city gate, but the city tower was opened again, so that those who came from all over the city could climb the city wall and see Lin Xi and the Wenren Cangyue kneeling in front of Lin Xi.

Wenren Cangyue is still alive.

After knowing that it was impossible for Lin Xi and the others to change their decision, he was completely desperate, so he closed his eyes and stopped making any sound.

At this moment, there was no blood on his face, and the flesh and blood on his body were blurred, but the power accumulated over the years, the natural iron-blooded aura, still made ordinary people feel inexplicable palpitations.

All the Rualinites gathered on the city wall began to tremble with anger.

Their lives were boring and precarious, and it was because of the betrayal of this imperial general.

Many people's teeth were clucking and tears were streaming down their eyes, because their families had died in the war against the reckless army led by this general.

Wearing a thin cotton jacket, Meng Bai appeared at the gate of the city.

He walked out of the middle of the separated black-armored soldiers and walked towards Lin Xi and the others.

All the people did not speak.

It wasn't until Meng Bai walked in front of him that Lin Xi looked at the fat man with a little vain footsteps, and said softly, "You are so thin." ”

It's funny to say such a thing to a fat man.

However, everyone looked at the fat man in front of them with a slightly swollen face, and they all wanted to cry.

Meng Bai has been gaining weight since he entered the academy, but now, he is indeed much thinner than before.

"I knew you were going to do it. You'll definitely do it. ”

There was some sweat on his white forehead, and he seemed to be a little cold by the wind, he shrank his body, glanced at Wenren Cangyue, and then looked at Lin Xi, and said. Lin Xi looked at his good friend with some distress, and was a little proud of him.

"We couldn't have done anything like this without you. ”

"We can finally take revenge. He took a step forward, hugged Meng Bai, patted Meng Bai's back, and whispered.

"We are friends. Meng Bai said.

Lin Xi was slightly stunned.

Meng Bai continued: "So I won't say thank you. ”

Lin Xi thought of the first time this fat man came by the shore of Lingxia Lake, and asked himself if he looked like a dirt bag, his heart was a little sour, but it was very warm.

"I know what you mean. ”

Meng Bai ended hugging Lin Xi, he looked at Lin Xi, looked at Jiang Xiaoyi, Gao Yanan and others beside Lin Xi, "This is a very important day for all of us, because after coming out of Biluoling, each of us has changed, and we can't go back." He doesn't die... We don't have any taste for food, and we don't have peace of mind when we sleep. ”

"I know you want me to kill him with my own hands. ”

Meng Bai paused, looked at Lin Xi's eyes, and said softly, "But I don't want to share some of your glory... I dare to kill him, but we still have many enemies. We at Qingluan Academy need more glory to gather on you. I may have been so cowardly that I wouldn't even dare to kill someone. I've always thought if only I dared to kill someone... But I now understand that the greatest courage and audacity is not to kill, as long as you dare to face yourself, dare to do everything for victory and your friends. ”

"Kill him. ”

"It's better to let everyone think that I'm a person who is more timid than a mouse, and doesn't even dare to kill his enemies. Perhaps giving people this kind of misconception will bring us a little use in the future. ”

Meng Bai looked at Lin Xi, Jiang Xiaoyi and everyone else, and said this seriously.

Then he began to tremble.

As if afraid, trembling, retreating.

Then he began to turn around and run like a coward who did not dare to kill the enemy.

"Fool... Isn't it fun to pretend to be a coward?"

Lin Xi knew that Meng Bai was acting, and he even felt that Meng Bai had no meaning in acting, but his eyes were a little blurry.

He looked at Meng Bai's back, he knew that Meng Bai had become strong and powerful, but if he had a choice, he really wanted Meng Bai to always be the carefree and timid fat man who just wanted to mess around, and always had food in his pocket.

He took a deep breath.

He drew the sword he was carrying.

"Those who bear the clouds and Qin, be such a thief!"

He took a deep breath, thinking about those people who could sing and cry, looking at the city in front of him, looking at the picturesque rivers and mountains in the distance, and exhaled fiercely.

In his Qingyue voice, Wenren Cangyue knew that his last moment was coming, and he roared unwillingly.

The cold sword light sprinkled down, his voice suddenly stopped, and his head flew up.

Blood poured out of his neck.

Then the entire world around Rudonglin seemed to fall into absolute silence.
