Dunhuang City is the largest city in Xiangzhou, the main city gate is open to the south, whenever the bell rings in the early morning, the people flock out.

Although Dunhuang City is built on the edge of the desolate Xiangzhou Divine Ghost Valley, it is unique within a radius of 100 miles, because it is a border pass city in the northwest of Dafeng, so the scale is not too bad.

Early this morning, the military came to block the streets, as for what happened, everyone did not know, but everyone did not have much reaction, the street pickers selling onion cakes and snacks are still selling their goods.

Next to a small porridge shop on the street, because there were few customers today, the boss wanted to close the stall quickly, but this came a middle-aged man wearing a coarse cloth jacket, the man had dark skin, and his rough hands were full of calluses.

The boss knew at a glance that the guest in front of him was a country man who sold coolies, so when the man opened his mouth to drink porridge, he subconsciously scooped up some more thick porridge at the bottom of the pot, a plate of small pickles, a plate of peanuts, and a bowl of white porridge.

The man ate very neatly, eating and eating, the city suddenly shook, the wind and sand were everywhere, the people on the street went home one after another, and the boss wanted to close the stall, but the middle-aged man was still not in a hurry.

The boss was anxious and helpless, "Big brother, you can really eat it, there is a fight outside, it is all the true anger of the martial artists, we ordinary people are rubbed to the point and die, my small shop is close to the city gate, if something happens, I can't save you." ”

The middle-aged man put down the dishes and chopsticks, touched his mouth, covered his stomach and said, "I haven't eaten the white porridge of Dunhuang City for a long time, boss, the money is on the table." ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man actually walked towards the city gate, the boss hurriedly persuaded, "Big brother, it's dangerous outside." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, "Don't worry." ”

The boss had no choice but to pack up the dishes and chopsticks and quickly hide back to his small shop, while the middle-aged man stretched his waist, looked at the seven-colored true qi on the left and right sides of his head, and smiled slightly.

In the next second, the middle-aged man disappeared into the street.

The soldiers outside Dunhuang City listened to Ning Xiaochuan's language of knocking on the city, their brows were furrowed, until now the great general Ning He has not been recognized by the eight generals, how could Ning Xiaochuan let the seven generals be willing to knock on the city gate for him in just a few months, is this kid really so terrible?

Zhao Xihe looked at the scenery in front of him, stroked his beard and said, "This is the Mid-Autumn Festival, this old guy is training in Tulong Mountain, and I don't know if he received my letter." ”

"General Zhao, thank you this time." Ning Xiaochuan first thanked Zhao Xihe, and then thanked the other six generals next to him.

Zhao Xihe stroked his beard and looked at the Xiangzhou army in front of him, and shouted at Qi Shangang, "General Qi, what's the matter?" Is the gate of Dunhuang City even impossible for the seven of us to enter? ”

Qi Shangang hurriedly got up and saluted when he heard the sound, "Go back to the old general, my subordinates don't dare, it's just ......"

Qi Shangang also wanted to speak, and a white true qi appeared on the top of the city, splashing dust all over the ground after landing, and it just fell behind Ye Chuyan, Wu Qing and Tian Yi impartially.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, the true qi was permeated, Zhao Xihe looked at the true qi in front of him and showed a burst of smiles, after seeing the identity of the person in front of him, Ye Chuyan's mood became more complicated.

The old man under the true anger walked to the head of the city, looked at Zhao Xihe above the sky, and laughed loudly, "Brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, I haven't seen you for so many years, I didn't expect that our goodbye would be because of the Ning family." ”

Zhang Zhongqiu's voice was very loud, and the voice from the city made Qi Shangang sigh secretly, this Ning Xiaochuan is really capable, and he has invited the eight King Kongs of the Xiangzhou Army, even if Ning He comes, he can't stop it.

Zhao Xihe and the others also laughed, "Lao Zhang, how about a few drinks together when we enter the city." ”

"Then dare to be kind, little boy, you boldly enter the city, I want to see the old man, who dares to stop you." Zhang Zhongqiu's voice was like thunder, and the Xiangzhou army who was present was stunned in his heart, in the Xiangzhou army, you can be disrespectful to Ning He, but for Zhang Zhongqiu, no one dares to be disrespectful to him.

Ning Xiaochuan raised his hand to thank him, "Junior, thank you General Zhang." ”

Some Qi Shangang and Gao Huaili looked at each other with difficulty riding tigers, this was embarrassing, they never thought that Ning Xiaochuan would move to the Eight Great King Kongs, which made them troublesome.

Ning Xiaochuan couldn't stop him from entering the city, but as the general of the Xiangzhou Army, were they going to be slapped in the face like this?

At this time, Ye Chuyan, who was at the head of the city, secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he didn't listen to Qi Shangang's going to block people outside the city, otherwise he would be embarrassed to lower his head below.

On the silent and uninhabited street, a troika galloped past, the carriage was not luxurious, but it was not bad, Qian Xu followed quickly outside the carriage, and there were countless soldiers of the state pastor behind him, Qian Gui in the carriage lifted the curtains, watched the clouds outside the city turn, and frowned.

Qi Shangang clenched his fists, got up and was about to speak, when suddenly the city gate opened, and a carriage rushed straight out, Ning Xiaochuan looked down, wasn't it Qian Xu who he saved in Tianshui City behind this carriage?

And Qian Xu also saw Ning Xiaochuan, sure enough, it was him, and it was Ning Xiaochuan who saved him that day.

Seeing the carriage coming, Qi Shangang and Gao Huaili both breathed a sigh of relief, the coachman lifted the curtain, and Qian Gui, who was dressed in a red robe, walked forward quickly, and said to the few people above him, "Little boy, generals, Qian Gui is polite here." ”

"Master Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time, you guy is also old, I remember that at that time, by the old general's side, you were a scholar with fine skin and tender meat." Zhao Xihe said with emotion.

Qian Gui got up and smiled, looking like a free and easy little old man, "When I'm old, I won't mention anything about my youth." ”

"Lord Qian, Ning Xiaochuan is knocking on the city here, and now the eight generals are here, I don't know if this Dunhuang junior can enter or not." Ning Xiaochuan shouted in a deep voice.

"This Dunhuang City, who will enter if the Ning family doesn't enter?" Qian Gui's face was serious, he took a deep breath and turned around and shouted, "Come on, listen to the orders of this official, open the city gate, and welcome the little prince and the generals into the city." ”

In the next second, the drum sounded, the horn sounded, the two iron doors were opened, and the Xiangzhou army stood solemnly along the way, Ning Xiaochuan laughed and landed indifferently.

Qi Shangang and Gao Huaili got up and came to the gate of the city, bowed to Qian Gui, and the next second, Ning Xiaochuan appeared in front of the two.

The three of them looked at each other, thinking that Ning Xiaochuan would give them a dismount, but they never thought that Ning Xiaochuan raised his hand at the two of them and said, "Thank you for the two generals going out of the city to welcome each other today, and if Ning Xiaochuan encounters something in the future, I hope that the two generals will give me more advice." ”

Qian Gui nodded, this little boy is quite good at finding steps, so that Qi Shangang and Gao Huaili will not be too embarrassed.

Qi Shangang smiled, raised his hand and said, "The little boy is modest, if it is useful to Qishangang in the future, as long as you speak, Qi Shangang will do his best to help." ”

Gao Huaili also expressed the same position.

After Ning Xiaochuan landed, Yu Xining and the three of them also followed, and after seeing Zheng Guangyuan on the side, Qi Shangang's eyes were obviously displeased, but they only returned to normal in an instant.

At the gate of the city, Zhang Zhongqiu put his hands behind him and quietly watched Ning Xiaochuan and others enter the city.

Coming to Zhang Zhongqiu, Ning Xiaochuan raised his hand and signaled, "Old General Zhang, thank you for your help." ”

"The way of the rivers and lakes is still different from that in the army, boy, it is a bit of a hand to enter Dunhuang with the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, but whether you can gain a foothold in the army depends on your own creation." Zhang Zhongqiu patted Ning Xiaochuan's shoulder, which was regarded as expressing his affirmation.

Ning Xiaochuan bowed slightly, "Thank you for the teachings of the old general, the younger generation will remember it." ”

At the gate of the city, the two words of Dunhuang above the head have been winded and sand for a long time, but the two words on the marble have disappeared from the outline of the year, and only the virtual shadow of the two words of vicissitudes can be vaguely seen.

After more than ten years of absence, Ning Xiaochuan entered Dunhuang again.

In a corner of the city, watching Ning Xiaochuan walk into Dunhuang under the escort of Qian Gui and Zhao Xihe, Ning He's heart that had been hanging was also put down, and Ning Bofeng and Xu Ziqian, who were drinking a little wine next to him, looked at each other and smiled.

"Childe, you can rest assured now." Xu Ziqian said softly.

Ning He smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect that in just four months, Xiaochuan returned to Dunhuang, the speed was far faster than I imagined, and the hand was also more clever than I imagined, and it was enough to prove his ability to invite Zhao Xi and the eight generals out of the mountain." ”

Listening to Ning He's self-deprecation, Xu Ziqian next to him said while drinking, "The little boy has just arrived, and this city has entered, but you still need to bring it after that, by the way, the little boy has entered the barracks, what are your plans." ”

Ning He pondered slightly, thought for a while and said, "I want to see what he thinks, with my understanding of Xiaochuan, he doesn't like to get something for nothing, I should have my own ideas." ”

"Hahaha."

Xu Ziqian and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent, and they seemed to know Ning Xiaochuan's next choice, but the three of them all chose to laugh it off.

Entering Dunhuang, Ning Xiaochuan turned to look at Yu Xining and smiled softly, "Take you to see my family." ”

"Huh?"

The little girl's face flushed with shame, and several older generals next to her laughed.

Zhao Xihe is better, but Zhang Zhongqiu next to him is different, the old general said with a haha, "The fifth prince is not young, your eldest brother didn't eat the banquet, you can't forget the old man." ”

Ning Xiaochuan smiled softly, silently took Yu Xining's jade hand and walked forward, and several old generals behind him followed him with a smile.

Wang Lianghu said in a sullen voice, "You talk a lot, you are old, and you still make jokes with others, don't scare other girls." ”

"How come, the woman in the old general's mansion is not a heroine among women, have you forgotten the days when you were chased by the old lady and ran through the barracks?" Zhang Zhongqiu quipped, and after speaking, the surrounding generals laughed.

"You kid exposed my shortcomings, are you embarrassed to say? If you hadn't drunk the wine brought by your wife, I would have done that, old boy......" Wang Lianghu said not to be outdone.

General Zhang Detian, who looked the most serious behind him, pulled the two of them over, with a peacemaker posture, "Okay, I'm old, and I'm still making such a fuss." ”

"Lao Zhang, don't pretend to be a good person here, you also drank that wine......"

"Who hasn't drunk it, I remember...... It seems that Lao Yang didn't drink it. ”

"Speaking of which, I want to say that you guys actually drank all the plum wine, and when I come back from patrolling, there will be an empty jar left."
