In fact, for Ning Xiaochuan and others, there is another heavyweight in Guijun, that is, Renguo Gong Cheng Yuan, that is, Ning Xiaochuan's sister-in-law Cheng Shuangshuang's father.

Long before the filing of Taijiajun, that is, in the fourteenth year of Taijia, General Cheng Lao quarreled with Qin Wanzun because he was dissatisfied with what Qin Wanzun did in the court.

But what made him chill was that Gao Zhen did not stand on his side, but chose to believe in Qin Wanzun, so Cheng Yuan asked Ying to go to Jiaozhou in a fit of anger to guard this border place that others could not avoid.

After this departure, he never went back, and it was just like this that Cheng Yuan, the Duke of Renguo, slowly faded out of the officialdom, and did not care about Yindu.

In Cheng Yuan's words, Qin Wanzuka will not die, and even if he dies in Jiaozhou, he will never return to Yindu.

Jiaozhou, Zhennanguan.

After a short rest of three days in Zhennanguan, Ning Xiaochuan and the others decided to leave for Zhuo Xigui County, this time Ning Xiaochuan did not choose to take Su Su with him, but decided to leave Su Su in Zhennan Pass.

This is also taking into account the danger behind, Guijun is the last place mentioned by General Shan before his death, whether this place is safe or dangerous Ning Xiaochuan They don't know, Su Su is the only remaining bloodline of the Shan family, if something happens, then Ning Xiaochuan can't explain to the family, after several considerations, it was decided to let Su Su stay in Zhennanguan.

"No, I don't agree." Hearing Ning Xiaochuan say that he would let him stay, Su Su was very reluctant and directly rejected Ning Xiaochuan.

"Susu, you know the stakes of this, it's the best choice to stay here." Ning Xiaochuan said helplessly.

Su Su looked at Ning Xiaochuan with red eyes, "I'm taking care of you all the way, when I left home, my lord and wife told me a thousand times, and I was asked to take care of you, so you put me here now, what will happen to your daily life in the future, who will take care of it?" ”

It can be seen that Su Su is reluctant to Ning Xiaochuan, Ning Xiaochuan smiled, "Don't worry about Su Su, I'm not a child of a big man, and I'll pick you up when we are sure that Guijun is not in danger." ”

Yu Xining also said beside her, "Yes, Sister Susu, don't worry, I am here, and I won't let Ning Xiaochuan be wronged." ”

Zhou Bingye sighed, others took care of Su Su before, when was it Su Su's turn to take care of others, "Miss, or you just listen to Ning Gongzi, stay in Zhennan for a while, and wait for Ning Gongzi to figure out the truth back then, you are looking for him, it is Renguo Gong Cheng Yuan who sits in Gui County, and Ning Gongzi is more or less in-lawed, I believe this trip will not be too long." ”

Even the old general Zhou Bingye said so, and Su Su had no need to continue to insist, and if he continued like this, he would really become a mess of nonsense, which was not only bad for himself, but also embarrassed Ning Xiaochuan.

Seeing Su Su bow her head and be silent, Ning Xiaochuan knew that Su Su had silently accepted all this, and then turned to look at Zhou Bingye, "Old general, Sister Su Su will ask you, in time, I will definitely come to pick her up." ”

"Ning Gongzi, don't worry, as long as I am here, Miss will not suffer a little grievance." Zhou Bingye said.

Just as everyone was debating when to leave for Gui County, a soldier broke in, looking hurried and his tone was extremely anxious.

"Report ......" After the soldier came in, he knelt down on one knee and arched his hand and said, "General Qiyu, someone is going to get out of the customs." ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Bingye got up directly, over the years, he had encountered countless Shanyue barbarians who wanted to enter the customs and harm the people, but this was really the first time he had seen him who took the initiative to ask for the customs.

Ning Xiaochuan and the others were also a little curious, who the hell is this, so brave, he actually wants to get out.

Everyone followed Zhou Bingye to the pass, and the soldiers on the pass were already ready for battle, and on the hill opposite the pass, a young man dressed in a green shirt, with long hair tied behind him, and a sword behind him, was sitting on the stone and playing with the broken stones in his hand, and he also held a grass root in his mouth very casually, giving people a feeling of unruly and debauchery.

Zhou Bingye shouted at the man, "Who are you, you can know the danger outside the customs, and there is an official ultimatum when you leave the customs." ”

After hearing Zhou Bingye's words, the man got up and clapped his hands, and then shouted at them, "I don't have an official ultimatum, so I want to go out and meet those barbarians, and I hope the general will make it convenient." ”

"According to the decree of Dafeng, without official documents, no one can be released from the customs, child, go back, the outside of the customs is not as good as the inside, you can't imagine the danger there." Zhou Bingye shouted loudly.

However, the man didn't seem to plan to leave, but got up and jumped up, and came to another mountain with a slight jump, "Don't worry, general, I will suffer whether I go out of the customs this time, whether I live or die, and I hope that the general can make it convenient." ”

Zhou Bingye shook his head helplessly, and Ning Xiaochuan also smiled secretly, there is no official document notice, Zhou Bingye will not let people out no matter what, looking at the man's age, but he is profound, at least here in Ning Xiaochuan, his strength is by no means under Kong Zhenxuan and Nie Hongyi.

"The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, please don't embarrass the old man, go back and forth from where you want." Zhou Bingye said aloud again, and at the same time, the archers on the pass had already aimed their arrows at the young man.

The young man was helpless, got up again, and came directly towards Zhennan Pass, Zhou Bingye frowned, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand, looking at this kid's appearance, he was going to force his way into Zhennan Pass, and Zhou Bingye would never allow this kind of situation to appear.

Ning Xiaochuan was also extremely cautious, when the man approached, he saw the man's appearance clearly, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the appearance was handsome, he was dressed in a strong body, and the long sword behind him did not feel ordinary, the man was just close to them, Ning Xiaochuan could detect the sword qi on the sword.

The man landed in a dashing manner, and the soldiers around him instantly surrounded the man, the man smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to break through, I just want to discuss with your general guarding the pass about my exit."

Zhou Bingye walked out of the crowd, came to the man, and said with a look of no anger and self-authority, "The old man is Zhou Bingye, the guard of Zhennan Customs, as long as you have official documents, the old man will never stop you, but if not, then please don't embarrass the old man." ”

The man shook his head and brushed the hair from his eyebrows behind his ears, "Old General Zhou, I don't have official documents, is there any other way to get out of the customs?" I've come all the way here, and if I can't get out, I'll go back, but I'll be laughed to death by my family. ”

"Why do you have to go out of the customs, just to save face at home?" Ning Xiaochuan couldn't help but say on the side.

The man looked at Ning Xiaochuan, looked him up and down, and then nodded, "What this prince said is very true, but other than that, he wants to go outside the gate to see how those barbarians live, and see why they keep violating Dafeng." ”

"What is the purpose of a barbarian, it is nothing more than to make money and food." Zhou Bingye snorted coldly, "Okay, don't say more, go back quickly." ”

The man took a step back, then looked at Zhou Bingye and said with a smile, "Old general, how about we gamble, let's fight, let me go out as long as I win, and go back if I lose." ”

"Hahaha......" After hearing this, the soldiers at the pass laughed, which was too naïve.

"Brush."

I saw the young man suddenly pull out a three-foot long sword from his back, the sword body has fine lines, it is not ordinary at a glance, and the sword body is full of sword energy, this is the sword qi that can only be seen when practicing swords all year round, the sword qi is fierce, but there is a trace of murderous and ruthless that the swordsman should have, to put it bluntly, it has not been baptized by the rivers and lakes, and it is flashy.

Kong Zhenxuan came behind Ning Xiaochuan, stuck to Ning Xiaochuan's ear, and whispered, "Childe, look, this sword has the signature of the Situ family. ”

Being reminded by Kong Zhenxuan, Ning Xiaochuan looked at it, and sure enough, there were two almost invisible words "Situ" engraved on the hilt of the sword.

"Situ Sword Pavilion ......" Ning Xiaochuan's mind instantly popped out these four words, Situ Jiange's status in Jiaozhou is equivalent to the status of Sushan Palace in Xiangzhou, Situ Jiange, as a force in the rivers and lakes that stands by the sword, has a long reputation in Jiaozhou.

The first master of Situ Sword Pavilion was a swordsman, he was a chivalrous man when he was in the Central Plains, he liked to rob the rich and help the poor on weekdays, once he robbed the local rich man to prepare a congratulatory gift for his father, and the rich gentleman of the anger directly sued the chivalrous guest to the state capital.

The state government had no choice but to send a large number of masters to arrest the knight, but the government also knew that this rich gentleman was a well-known local tyrant and bully, and could not bear to execute the swordsman, so he sent him to Jiaozhou.

After the knight came to Jiaozhou, he saw the barbarians around him attacking and harassing the people, so he stepped forward and protected the local people for decades with one person and one sword, and later he realized that he could not protect the people of Jiaozhou on his own.

So in the name of his surname Situ, he founded Situ Sword Pavilion, and taught what he had learned all his life to the disciples in the sect, so that they could shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting Jiaozhou and protecting the people.

Over time, Situ Jiange has become one of the most powerful forces in Jiaozhou, there are countless disciples in the door, in addition to the local people in Jiaozhou, there are many people in the Central Plains who went to learn art, Situ Jiange established the door with swordsmanship, and there was no shortage of swordsmanship masters in the door.

Legend has it that the Sword Saint Yi Zitui had a battle with the Situ Sword Pavilion Pavilion, and the two sides fought for 3,000 rounds and it was difficult to distinguish the victory, and in the end, the Sword Saint was superior in skill and narrowly defeated the Situ Sword Pavilion Lord.

But this also made Situ Sword Pavilion even more famous, after all, he could fight with the Sword Saint for 3,000 rounds without falling behind, and there were not many people in the rivers and lakes who had this ability.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at the man, no wonder this man was so fearless, it turned out that he was relying on Situ Sword Pavilion behind him, and he had such a cultivation at a young age, even in Situ Sword Pavilion, he was a rare genius.

It's a pity that in the face of this genius's provocation, Zhou Bingye didn't buy it, only to see him shake his head helplessly, looked at the young man and said, "Child, with your kind of heart, I can't let you out." ”

"Why?" The man withdrew his long sword and looked at Zhou Bingye with a puzzled expression.

"If you don't take it personally, you have to pay a price." Zhou Bingye shook his head with emotion.
