In the sixth year of Xianqing, the third day of the first month.

The beginning of spring has arrived, the sky is still cold, the snow is vast between the mountains and mountains, but on both sides of the canal, there has been tender green breaking out of the ground.

A big ship rode the wind, the flag fluttered on the ship, the huge "king" flag hunted and flew, and dozens of fierce soldiers stood around the ship in armor, and their fierce and cold eyes scanned all directions.

Passing ships are cautiously avoided.

In the pavilion, Wang Xuan calmly flipped through the letterhead in his hand, dressed in a black coat, embroidered with silver jabliflex patterns, although his face was like a crown of jade, but it was full of majesty.

Last year, the government army reported on his work, he was poor, in order to save money and trouble, only took a few people to rush over the mountains and mountains to the city, and now travel, with hundreds of guards chartered boat south, full of style.

It's not that he likes to put on a show, but this time it's about the competition for "Famous Generals", and there are countless pairs of eyes in every move, and he is no longer a nobody.

In addition to him, there were three other people in the Pavilion.

Guo Luquan is old, and Zhang Heng, Liu Shun, Mo Huaixian and others have to stay in Yong'an, so only Mo Yuntian, Mo Yunxiao and Qi Long followed.

Bringing these three people has its own deep meaning.

Mo Yuantian is the younger brother of the Mo Huaixian clan, also from Shanhai Academy, serving as the commander of the Yong'an march, and has experienced several times to show extraordinary intelligence.

Mo Yunxiao is the banner of the Qinglong Soshan Army, proficient in concealment and exploration, with a stable temperament and can take on heavy responsibilities.

As for Qi Long, although his cultivation is not high, he is familiar with the rules of the rivers and lakes and courts, and he is good at speaking.

"Your Excellency."

Mo Yuntian said indifferently: "There is news from the Mojia Mountain City that Mr. Cen Xuzhou has found a few Five Elements Spiritual Apertures, and as long as the production of five-color copper increases, he can go all out to change the clothes of the government army." ”

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, "This matter is not in a hurry, the Kanyuan Mountain Range is still blocked by heavy snow, and the harvest last year has not yet been digested, I agreed with Tu Su Ziming that after the snow melts, we will join forces to open up the wasteland." ”

Qi Long hesitated, "My lord, we were originally scheduled to set off on the seventh day of the first month, but you suddenly advanced, did anything happen?" ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth, "It's a good thing, do you remember the Huang family's secret collection last year?" ”

"The dispute between the Huang family's secret collection, the royal family and the Taiyi Sect found a god platform, dedicated to the sealing of the mountain god Hebo, when the emperor went to the end of the year to enter the Sheji Temple to pray for blessings, he personally ordered the allocation of places in the states as a reward for opening up the wasteland."

"The god of the mountain?!"

When the three of them heard this, they all looked excited.

Qi Long said in a trembling voice: "Since the loss of the method of sealing the mountain gods, the territory of the human race has shrunk, which has caused the current situation, which is a sign that the human race is going to rise!" ”

Mo Yuntian squeezed his fist fiercely, "The new city is located in the southwest mountains, and evil will inevitably breed in the middle, and the government army can only clean it from time to time. ”

"It's not that simple."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said: "Although the king of Bingzhou did not say it, but listening to his meaning, it seems that the number of places for this mountain god is limited, so I set off in advance." ”

The three of them suddenly realized and looked at each other.

"Space is limited..."

Mo Yuntian frowned, "Since the emperor said that it was a reward for clearing the wasteland, then no one in the state can compare with my Yong'an, but it is a matter of sealing the mountain god, I am afraid that the other government troops will not give up." ”

"That's right."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly and looked at the secret letter in his hand.

On the twentieth day of the fifth year of Xianqing, the Shenji Pavilion of the Xiao family rebelled, and the three ancestors of the Xiao family killed them, but there were shape-shifting old demons who infiltrated to help, and there were many escapes...

On the twenty-seventh day of the fifth year of Xianqing, the Xiao family suddenly reported that Xiao Cheng, the military captain of Ningfeng County, was disabled, and Xiao Zhongmou took over as the captain, and at the same time, Marshal Xiao Jianqiu's 500 pro-army troops were stationed in the Ningfeng Mansion Army...

……

And the state capital city, Kangyuan.

When night falls, the cities in the north and south are still brightly lit.

To say that the New Year has just passed, it is the time to visit relatives and friends and recuperate, but Kangyuan City is becoming more and more lively.

Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Kangyuan, as the capital city of Bingzhou, will hold a grand lantern festival, which inevitably brings together three religions and nine streams, and the influx of traveling merchants from all directions.

Of course, another topic has been added this year: "Famous Generals".

It is inevitable that people will gossip, there are Shanhai Academy "Talent Spectrum" in the rivers and lakes, and Qinglou has "Hundred Flowers Spectrum", and various rankings are talked about.

But these are all listed by the folk rivers and lakes, and the "Famous Generals" was set by the Dayan Imperial Court, which is of extraordinary significance.

Although in the eyes of insiders, this thing is a joke, after all, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but the people are not tired of it.

"Yong'an Wang Xuan, known as the fierce tiger of Bingzhou, what I want to talk about today is his attack on the ghost city of Shanyin, it is said that in the late spring of last year, bloody robbers were rampant..."

In the teahouse, Mr. Pingmen spat and flew.

The tea guests below listened with relish.

Commenting on the story, it is inevitable to exaggerate, saying that "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Lantern" is extremely terrifying, and the Yong'an Mansion Army is like a divine soldier descending from the sky, the fighting methods of the two sides are dark, and the tea guests below are applauding continuously.

Poof!

A scar-faced man who had just arrived couldn't help laughing, and said with disdain in his eyes: "It's just a county captain, you are more powerful than the marshal of the army over there, and you are not ashamed to take this money..."

"Fuck off, what are you!"

Immediately, someone stared, "Lao Tzu likes to listen, what's wrong?" ”

A group of people around him started to heckle and drive the scar-faced man out.

If you want to say that the people of Fucheng, their perception of Wang Xuan is really good, after all, the figure of fighting alone and saving the old man last year is still in my mind, and later won a series of victories, just like the characters in the book.

In the Accord on the second floor, a man and a woman watched coldly.

The man's face is dark, his body is tall, and his beard is like a steel needle upside down, while the woman's body is bewitching, and her charming eyes seem to be affectionate, but from time to time flashing green light.

The man snorted twice, and said vaguely: "We have achieved success in cultivation, and we all hide from XZ, and we don't dare to be famous, so as not to be seen as weak, but these people find a way to become famous... I really don't understand. ”

"You're not human."

The woman smiled slightly, and her pupils instantly turned almond-shaped, "The ancestor said that the cultivation of the human race is mostly for fame and fortune, and greed is the reason why it grows, but this fame and fortune is also their weakness. ”

The man was a little anxious, "I don't understand what you said, don't talk nonsense, hurry up, if the midnight mansion goes out on patrol, we can't hide it." ”

"Look scares the hell out of you, okay..."

The woman glanced at it, slowly got up and went backstage.

An old man was drinking tea leisurely, and when he saw the woman, his pupils shrank, and he arched his hand with a solemn face: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

The woman's handkerchief covered her mouth and smiled slightly, "I'm looking for you to talk about the deal." ”

With a wave of his jade hand, a blue cloth bag suddenly appeared and slammed on the table, making a sound of Ding Ling clanging against metal.

The old man's face was ugly, he really didn't want to take this kind of business with his head and tail exposed, but the other party didn't miss a trace of Qi, but it was creepy, obviously the Taoist was much higher than him.

Taking a deep breath, he unwrapped the blue cloth bag, revealing a pile of bronze and moon silver ingots, shining brightly under the candlelight.

"Yo, generous enough."

The old man said a word, then picked up the book next to him, and after looking through it a few times, his eyes gradually became solemn, "There is such a thing... Could it be that your Excellency is a member of the Xiao family? ”

The woman didn't speak, looking at a secret door in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The old man's face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth, "I'll take this job!" ”

"You're interested." The woman smiled and turned away.

Rumble!

The secret door exploded, and several men rolled out, covering their lower bodies and their faces were flushed, "What a powerful charm, master, who is this?" ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "This person wants me to build momentum for the Xiao family and compete for the ranking of "Famous Generals", as for who it is, the old man can't guess it." ”

"Taiyi Sect Hongyuan Zhenren asked me to build momentum for Wang Xuan, and now the Xiao family has made this one again, this year... I'm afraid it's lively. ”

On the other side, the black-faced man and the bewitching woman left the teahouse, took advantage of the night to leave the city and came to a no-man's land, turning into billowing black smoke and heading towards the distant mountains...

……

The sky was slightly bright, and the Kangyuan City Wharf was already crowded.

The Shangyuan Festival is approaching, and the cargo ships are becoming more and more dense.

"Hey, look!"

"It's a Pai Jiao boat, and there is a 'king' flag on it, could it be that Yongan Wang Xuan?"

"Oh, what a show."

Many people stopped what they were doing and stopped to watch.

Soon, the ship docked, and there were already men from the Mo family shops in Fucheng waiting with the carriage, and a team of government soldiers got off the ship in an orderly manner, loaded large and small boxes into the carriage, and then headed for Kangyuan City.

After Wang Xuan took people away, many people immediately whispered.

"Good fellow, that six-eared divine dog is like a cow."

"Sure enough, the momentum is extraordinary, and I didn't dare to speak just now."

"There's a bird, haven't you heard, Xiao family..."

"Alright, okay, let's get to work..."

In the convoy in the distance, Wang Xuan silently looked at Kang Yuancheng in the distance,

Next to him, Mo Yuntian bowed his head and said: "My lord, there were rumors in various teahouses yesterday that the Xiao family is bound to win the first name of "Famous Generals". ”

"Imperative?"

Qi Long was happy, "The Xiao family only cared about entanglement with bloody thieves last year, and in terms of the income from the wasteland, it is still far from the adults." ”

Mo Yuntian shook his head and said, "My lord, this matter is a little troublesome, let's talk to you in detail after we settle down." ”

The Mo family is now wealthy, and they have already rented a three-entry mansion in Xingye Fang in the south of the city, and they have also hired many servants.

After the government army settled in, it was naturally busy, and the high-level officials of the government army gathered in the backyard wing.

Mo Yuntian's face was a little ugly, and he arched his hand and said: "My lord, this matter of sealing the mountain god, the Xiao family is afraid that it is earlier than we know, and it took advantage of the end of the year to report some discoveries..."
