Volume 1 The Dragon Goes Out of the North Chapter 51 The Gate of the City
"Why are you leaving so soon, staying a few more days?"
At the south gate of Xunyang City, Gu Nanfeng and Xie Shengwan, the master of the Stork Pavilion who was leading the horse, walked side by side. Because Gu Nanfeng had Su Mantang's warrant, the guards at the city gate quickly let him go.
After sending a group of people to the City Lord's Mansion with Su Mantang last night, Xie Shengwan and the others made a short stay in the City Lord's Mansion. Early this morning, Xie Shengwan found Su Mantang to resign. After politely declining Su Mantang's warm invitation, Xie Shengwan took a group of people and met Gu Nanfeng who rushed to hear the news on the road.
Xie Shengwan said: "No, there are still a lot of things to deal with in the mountain hall, originally I rushed here this time to save the emergency, but I didn't think of any help, I really have no place to put my face if I stay." ”
Gu Nanfeng shook his head and said very sincerely: "Where is it, if it weren't for Mr. Xie and you, I really don't know what would have happened in that kind of endgame situation at that time." If I don't mean to compliment, I can honestly say that you even played an important role in turning things around last night. ”
Xie Shengwan accepted Gu Nanfeng's kindness, but still said: "After all, it is something that anyone can do." ”
Outside the city, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a scene full of desolation, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the leaves are falling one after another. In the distance, there were many people waiting on horseback, it was the rest of the Stork Pavilion, still in their special night clothes, with their faces masked, and they were leaning down on their horses.
It's a group of people who won't let go for a moment.
Xie Shengwan said with a rare smile: "It's not bad, there are a lot of good knives in this generation, and they are all the pillars of this pavilion in the future." Sometimes I even had a headache about what kind of task to send them out, and sometimes it was very troublesome if the knife was too good, and the watchman often had nothing to do. ”
Gu Nanfeng smiled and agreed.
Xie Shengwan said again: "But this time it seems that we have encountered obstacles here, and when we face the sincerity of the ten directions, we don't even know how to break through his posture, and we are ready to die when we charge." Although it was not our turn to die in the end, how can I say it, is it a bad thing? Not necessarily. Is it a good thing? I can't say it. But in general, it is a fortunate thing, after this incident, the proud young people will be a little more restrained, and then they will be able to really shoulder the next generation of this pavilion and this mountain hall. ”
Gu Nanfeng said: "I heard that there is a very energetic young man in the Assassin Mountain Hall, who is the little apprentice of the current sect master. It's so good, it's no wonder that the Assassin Mountain Hall will get stronger and stronger every year, for a sect, having a legacy is the best thing, no matter what difficulties you go through, you will survive. ”
Xie Shengwan looked up to the south, as if he saw Kunlun Mountain, which was far away from the two states, and he said with emotion: "Yes, he is a very interesting little guy, and the old men like him very much, which is very rare." The mountain hall has already set out to build a new Qinglong Palace, which is to create a new atmosphere on the mountain with him as the leader. ”
"His name is the eighth son, and he is very similar to your group, if he has the opportunity to be a guest in the mountain hall in the future, he will definitely fall in love with him."
Gu Nanfeng nodded, and then arched his hand and said, "Then I'll congratulate the Assassin Mountain Hall here first." ”
Xie Shengwan laughed.
Glancing at the young man named Gu Nanfeng, the old man hesitated a little and said, "Although it is not a topic that I can get involved in, but judging from the current situation, you are really planning something terrible, even the ten parties are involved, and the old man who appeared at the end." To be honest, it's not that I'm humble, I can't do it anyway at your age. But it's good, it's good for young people to be ambitious, and it's even more so when like-minded people get together. ”
Gu Nanfeng smiled: "See it." ”
Xie Shengwan sighed with emotion, this young man named Gu Nanfeng, from the first meeting to the later fight outside the city, to the secret letter that was delivered in time, until now the two are walking side by side outside the city, they have shown no leakage, such a young man can make people hopeful. What surprised Xie Shengwan even more was that this group of teenagers gathered did not seem to be headed by Su Tiantian or Gu Nanfeng in front of him.
I really want to get to know a young man named Sikong Yulong, what kind of person will it be? Last night in the Magnolia Building, there was a person who seemed unwilling to admit defeat, after Su Tiantian and the other person fell one after another, he could still turn around to avoid the assassination sword, and he never fell until the end.
Xie Shengwan thought in his heart, with some expectations.
Su Tiantian's little guy gathered a lot of quite amazing people around him.

Zhao Longcheng only felt a chill behind his back now.
When Gu Qianqiu began to tell him about the history of the Northern Desert, he didn't care at first, but as the narration deepened, the old history pages were opened, and some unknown pages that were glued together by blood were forcibly torn apart and spread, and he realized that what he knew before was just the deeds that everyone knew in the historian's pen, and more secrets that could not be known came out of the mouth of this old man, and some of them Although he had some understanding before, more of them were plans and bloody history that Zhao Longcheng felt numb in his scalp. Only when these historical facts are connected in series to form a long chain with blood stains can it be a complete northern desert.
And what Zhao Longcheng didn't expect the most was a shocking secret that the historians of the past dynasties had never written down and the Northern Desert Emperor was unwilling to reveal, that is, the first bead in front of this long historical string, that is, about the origin and opening of the Northern People.
Zhao Longcheng quickly sorted out the information he heard in his mind, then looked at the old man and said cautiously, "What Mr. Gu just said is true?" ”
Gu Qianqiu replied casually: "Otherwise? Why don't you go back and ask your emperor dad to see if these ugly things he refuses to let go of his mouth are fake? ”
Zhao Longcheng smiled bitterly, if these historical facts that can never appear in the official history are really told to Zhao Kongyan, it is estimated that he will have to suffer the loss.
However, with the support of these historical facts, Zhao Longcheng is convinced that the Northern Clan and Qiyang are indeed not a dead end, but in this situation, if he wants to find the only way to live from the intricate chessboard, he really can't find it, and even if it takes another thirty or fifty years, Zhao Longcheng does not dare to say that he is sure that he can find out. Because he is not convinced, there are indeed many ways to go, but no matter which one it is, Zhao Longcheng sees a heavy fog, this is not a way out that can be seen by the city government or scheming, but also needs to have a clear and complete history, intelligence and deduction of people's hearts at large and small nodes.
The more Zhao Longcheng thought about it, the more he felt that the old man in front of him was unfathomable, it was a kind of mystery that could contain all information and secrets like the deep sea, a kind of heaviness that could carry all the pressure and history like a mountain, and a terrible feeling that seemed to be able to grasp everyone's hearts and future.
This trip was really right, Zhao Longcheng was a little lucky, but at the same time he felt scared and powerless, that is, even if Gu Qianqiu told him a path now, and told him all the choices and final results on this road, he didn't seem to dare to believe it completely. It's not that he is not worried about the old man's plan, but he has doubts about the authenticity of these words, especially the final result, because what Zhao Longcheng is worried about is whether these trends will be another bigger situation, and when Zhao Longcheng walked on this road unconsciously, he was already moving towards the next goal expected by the old man. And that goal is something that the old man will definitely not reveal to himself.
Gu Qianqiu looked at Zhao Longcheng, who was full of thoughts, and suddenly said: "These worthless wild histories, just forget it after hearing it, just know what is going on." Here's the real highlight, listen up. ”
Zhao Longcheng hesitated, but still gritted his teeth and asked, "May I ask Mr. Gu, will the next words become the premise of a certain conversation in the future?" And the ending of our Northern Desert is really the final ending? ”
When Gu Qianqiu heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a disdainful smile, "I know what you're thinking about." But Zhao Longcheng, I want to ask, did you unconsciously bring yourself to a dominant position. ”
Zhao Longcheng suddenly had a roar in his mind.
Gu Qianqiu continued: "The kid who brought you here just now did a better job than you, no matter what I said, he thought about it as a certain branch of 'what could happen', and then regarded these things as a help for him to really do his own thing." In the final analysis, who can assert that they are always right, can calculate everything. And what is your so-called ending? Finale? Is it that all the people in the Northern Desert will be dead by then? The so-called ending is that your history is closed and will never change, and that is called the ending. ”
The young man on the other side trembled.
Gu Qianqiu waited for a while, until the young man's mind slowed down a little, and then he continued: "Okay, let's get down to business, about the future direction of your Northern Desert......
The old man's words were like a magical whirlpool, sweeping all of Zhao Longcheng's thoughts into it. As the plots are spoken, it seems to bring the future to an unknowable destination.
Finally, after the old man said the last word, the young man, whose back was already soaked, stood up suddenly.
"Mr. Gu, this ......"
Gu Qianqiu interrupted the young man, "I just provided an idea, whether you want to go, follow you, how you go, whatever you want, whether you want to use these directions as a stepping stone or an intelligence network, or all with you." So Zhao Longcheng, the road ahead is yours, not me, you should go. ”
The old man finally said: "In this way, the Dragon King of the Northern Desert is a bit out of character. ”
————
"Okay, just send it here, I'm going to ride a horse, you can't chase after it."
Xie Shengwan said a joke and said goodbye to Gu Nanfeng.
Gu Nanfeng hesitated, but still said: "Actually, Su Tiantian should have come to send you, but you also know that kid, you can't pull your face, you want to save face, so I will do it on my behalf." Also, he actually cares a lot about you and the Assassin Mountain Hall, the little apprentice of the sect master, I still heard him mention it......"
Gu Nanfeng was about to say more, Xie Shengwan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know, Su Tiantian is staying with you, we are all very relieved." ”
The boy stopped talking and clenched his fist heavily.
Xie Shengwan nodded, jumped on the horse, and rode forward.
After meeting with the people in the Stork Pavilion, before preparing to gallop the horse, Xie Shengwan glanced back and saw the young man standing straight at the city gate, waving silently.
