The location of Xigucheng determines that it is a prosperous city in Xiangzhou second only to Dunhuang City.

There is a mountain in the east of Xigucheng, compared to the yellow sand, dusty other places in Xiangzhou, the Cuiping Mountain in the east is much better, the Qingshui River on the grassland in the west of the river crosses through the mountain canyon, creating the green trees and red flowers of Cuiping Mountain, and the stream is murmuring.

It is spring, and the beasts in the forest are jubilant, birds and insects are singing, and they are full of life.

In the depths of Cuiping Mountain sits a small Zhuangzi, full of green willows, until now everyone has never heard of Zhuangzi has a hostess, and in this Zhuangzi live are some old soldiers who quit the army because of injuries or age.

Nominally, he was a servant of Zhuangzi, but he lived a more nourishing life than the people outside the mountain, with food and clothing and stability, and some old soldiers even got married and took over their wives and children.

The owner of this mountain village was not angry, some children were not stunned when they met the white-clothed general who did not smile, and those women who grew up as girls in the village naturally thought that their owner was the best man in the world.

The spring breeze blows, the mountain breeze makes people feel like the wind in the south of the Yangtze River, delicate and gentle, Zhao Xihe, who has been away from home for two months, finally returned to Cuiping Villa.

This old general from the Xiangzhou Army was dressed in a white robe, and his face was as pale as defeat.

Walking to the villa, sit straight on the stone bench under the willow tree, the manor has no outer wall, if you have to say that it is isolated from the birds and beasts in the mountain forest, it is this circle of willow trees.

Seeing the girl who came back from the male owner sending the cut melons and fruits, or warming some fruit wine on the stove, Zhao Xihe closed his eyes and did not make a sound, the old general who was more than half a hundred years old was sitting in a precarious position, and his chaotic breath gradually stabilized.

When he followed General Ning again, Zhao Xihe was a Confucian general who could write and martial arts, not only familiar with poetry and books, full of strategy, but also attained in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But in the army, it is rare to see him and those scholars chanting poems to talk about the big truth, most of the time, Zhao Xihe is the kind of decision-maker in the army who does not smile, and sometimes even the military advisor Tang Yuntian has to ask Zhao Xihe for advice when making decisions.

When he was in the army, few people guessed what this white-clothed Confucian was thinking, and his generals like Xu Muliang, Qi Shangang and others were just habitually following orders and never doubting it.

Even when Zhao Xihe ordered to enter Yindu, no one objected, of course, this matter was finally stopped by Ning Zhi, if he really killed Yindu, then he would have to do it.

The old general let out a breath of turbidity, leaned the spear in his hand against the willow tree beside him, and slowed down for a long time before he saw the blood on his face.

A few days later, outside the valley, Ning Xiaochuan and Zheng Guangyuan were walking along the path towards the valley, the scenery was picturesque, and Ning Xiaochuan was overjoyed.

"General Zheng, this place is really good, do you say that General Zhao Xihe is inside?"

"It won't be wrong, General Zhao is unique in the Ning family in governing the army and leading the troops, even Xu Ziqian and Ning Bofeng can't compare, but it's a pity that he left the army too early, because the old general refused to support the army and stand on his own, and the old general left the Xiangzhou army after dropping a sentence, 'The blood of 100,000 heroic souls is difficult to cool, and it is difficult to be loyal to Yin to sit on the emperor'.

The eight King Kongs of the Ning family's army, others may have some disputes about the order, but it is undisputed that General Zhao ranks first, if General Zhao does not leave, maybe the current Xiangzhou army will not be like this. Zheng Guangyuan sighed as he walked.

"But didn't you say that my eldest brother asked to see General Zhao three times, and the old general didn't see him, so I went to see him so abruptly, what if I ate the closed door?" Ning Xiaochuan said bottomlessly in his heart.

"But if you don't go, you won't even have a chance to eat closed-door soup, and besides, we have no other way now." Zheng Guangyuan said helplessly.

Ning Xiaochuan secretly made up his mind and followed Zheng Guangyuan into the depths of the valley.

Walking to the depths, a Wang Qingtan appeared in front of the two of them, surrounded by some laundry women and three or two children, after seeing Ning Yan and the two, everyone invariably cast scrutinizing eyes at the two of them.

Zheng Guangyuan walked to the edge of the pond, looked at the woman in front of him, and finally took out his military waist card in the Xiangzhou Army to win the trust of the woman in front of him, pointed them out, and thanked them repeatedly, and the two came to Cuiping Villa.

Surrounded by willows, holding willows in the village, this Xiangzhou army veteran likes willows very much, just when the two were about to enter Cuiping Villa, a rough voice suddenly came from the sky, "Soldiers in the army, stop; If you insist on going your own way, Hugh blames the old man for being ruthless. ”

This old general from the Xiangzhou army didn't wait to see the people in the army, which made Ning Xiaochuan puzzled, but Zheng Guangyuan next to him could see it and shrugged his shoulders, "The old general's temper is like this, forget it, I'll wait outside for a while, you are not a soldier in the army, there should be no problem if you go in." ”

Ning Xiaochuan nodded, clasped his fists and saluted, and shouted loudly, "General Zhao, the junior is not a person in the army, but an ordinary prodigal son of the rivers and lakes. ”

The true qi in the air dissipated, and Ning Xiaochuan hugged his fists and thanked the old general before walking into the Cuiping Villa in front of him.

The valley is quiet, the air scenery is excellent, Ning Xiaochuan enters the village, the village is longitudinal and horizontal, melons, fruits and vegetables are available, just like the paradise in general, if you are an adult, you can have such a place away from the hustle and bustle of the world to retire, it is also comfortable.

Not long after leaving, a servant came and took Ning Xiaochuan to see Zhao Xihe, who was drinking tea and tea under the willow tree.

Looking at Zhao Xi sitting in the idle pavilion under the willow in front of him, the old general in front of him was dressed in white, his temples were slightly white, his eyes were slightly closed, his eyebrows were not angry and arrogant, and his body had an elegant atmosphere.

If Zhao Xihe is twenty years younger, under this white dress, he will not be able to charm many little girls.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Zhao Xihe, and immediately arched his hand, "Junior Ning Xiaochuan has seen General Zhao. ”

Zhao Xihe, who had been closing his eyes and luck, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Ning Xiaochuan beside him, and looked at him carefully, "The surname Ning was brought by the Xiangzhou army again, you are the youngest son of General Ning." ”

Ning Xiaochuan nodded noncommittally, "The younger generation has heard of the general's name for a long time, and it is really worth the trip to meet today." ”

This veteran who left the Xiangzhou army at a young age bowed slightly, "A few days ago, the Northern Barbarians were disturbed, and you were the one who took away the twelve national weapons." ”

Ning Xiaochuan smiled softly, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

"Let the old general laugh."

The old general nodded slightly and said, "You are now a big red man in the Great Feng Rivers and Lakes and the Beiban Rivers and Lakes, since you took away the twelve national weapons, the Beiban Rivers and Lakes have not forgived you, and vowed to kill you to take the national weapons, after knowing the news, countless Dafeng martial arts masters have infiltrated the Beiban and killed them in the Beiban territory, and now the Beiban territory is still not peaceful. ”

"It's still a bit tricky to leave the Beiban alive, if it weren't for the help of the monks, I'm afraid I would die at the hands of the Beiban elders." Ning Xiaochuan quipped.

Zhao Xihe got up and smiled, "It was Jingzhou Shen Guixin who saved you, this monk is really powerful, I met it in Xilin Legge when I came back from Beiman, he said that you have a chance, after saving you, affected by your chance, his cultivation mood has also gone to a higher level."

And because you have an organic fate, although I don't know who grafted you with this fate, there is no doubt that this fate will accompany you throughout your life, whether it is good or bad. ”

It was the first time for Ning Xiaochuan to hear the word chance, but judging from Zhao Xihe's friendly attitude towards him, this chance would not be too bad.

"Dare to ask General Zhao, this door of Buddhism pays attention to chance, what is chance, is it as long as people put a stick of incense in the Taoist temple and worship a Buddha in the temple?

The younger generation is puzzled, if this is the case, then I do have some chance with the Daomen, the last time I saw Master Shen, he said that I have a fate with the Buddhism, what kind of fate is this? ”

Facing Ning Xiaochuan's series of questions, Zhao Xihe got up slowly, and he looked particularly elegant in a white robe.

"After leaving the army, I came here with some veterans who had fought with the old general for more than ten years, built this mountain villa, and at the same time changed from a person in the army to a person in the rivers and lakes.

I've only heard of some chances, Dafeng Changxing for thousands of years, and Gao's family has been sitting for nine or five thousand years, relying not only on the statecraft of the emperors of the past dynasties and the loyalty of the military generals to serve the country, but also on the Yutianjian.

This place, which uses the Yin and Yang Family's Heavenly Star Technique and Daomen Feng Shui Secret Technique as the core to maintain Dafeng's national fortune, is also the guarantee of Dafeng's thousand-year-old inheritance.

This national fortune is a kind of chance, but he feels the fate of heaven and earth based on the dragon vein and the qi of heaven and earth, which is illusory and ethereal.

As for the fate on your body, even if it is not the national fortune, it is not the same, he is with you, shadowless, invisible and intangible, but he can really affect you, from simple martial arts to his own chance, will invisibly bring you unexpected joy, this is the chance. ”

As soon as Zhao Xihe said this, Ning Xiaochuan understood that this opportunity was good luck to put it bluntly, and if you think about it carefully, she was very lucky along the way.

was able to escape from the assassination in Shuozhou, and then to Yindu for many years but never had an accident, and after leaving Yindu, he survived the assassination of Zhongfu and King Jingbei, and finally went to the tomb of King Xiyue in an accident and so on.

Along the way, I have to wonder if my luck is a little too good.

"That said, it seems to be true." Ning Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly, recalling that the person who killed me that he often talked about had not yet been born, and he didn't feel a little naïve, this may be the chance in the dark.

So who gave him this opportunity, a person appeared in Ning Xiaochuan's mind, Zhang Xingrui, the martial arts master.

Zhao Xihe looked at Ning Xiaochuan and smiled softly again, "But I didn't expect that this thing is hard to come by, how did you escape the eyes of those old Taoist priests in Yutianjian with such a big chance." ”

"Maybe they didn't take me seriously at all." Ning Xiaochuan laughed at himself.
