Ning Xiaochuan's sacrifice to the heavens soon spread all over Dafeng, and he became famous for a while.

When the news reached Yindu, Gao Yuan looked at the military newspaper in his hand, smiled slightly, and directly sealed Ning Xiaochuan as the general of Dingbei and led the military division of Xiangzhou.

In this way, it is equivalent to the imperial court recognizing Ning Xiaochuan's status in Xiangzhou and giving him a reason to stay in Xiangzhou's army.

If there was no canonization by the Son of Heaven, even if the Xiangzhou Army accepted Ning Xiaochuan, it would be unjustifiable for Ning Xiaochuan to stay in the Xiangzhou Army, but now Ning Xiaochuan will not have these worries and worries at all.

In the twilight, Ning Xiaochuan, dressed in a white brocade robe, sat cross-legged on the side of the sand dune cliff that was cut by the wind and sand like a woman's waist, and below the cliff was the North Gate Pass of Xiangzhou.

Behind him stood Kong Zhenxuan and Nie Hongyi, the two of them were by his side when they came out of Yindu from Ning Xiaochuan, but they didn't expect to go around and around, five years, they were still behind them.

Ning Xiaochuan was quietly in a daze, and the two behind him accompanied him in a daze.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Xu Muliang, who was dressed in iron armor, hurried over, and when he saw Ning Xiaochuan, he couldn't wait to get off his horse and hurry, "Little boy, are you leaving?" ”

Xu Muliang is also a general, the general of the North Gate Pass, except for Xu Ziqian and Ning Bofeng in the army, it can be said that no one gives face.

even scolded Qi Shangang in front of 20,000 soldiers, but Qi Shangang lowered his head and didn't even dare to say anything.

Xu Muliang's personality is the same as his personality, upright and bold, and he can't see the villains who steal chickens and dogs, and he is even more single-minded to the Ning family.

At that time, when Mrs. Ning was pregnant and gave birth to Ning Xiaochuan in October, Xu Muliang stayed outside the delivery room without leaving, and after Ning Xiaochuan was born, Xu Muliang smiled happier than Ning Zhi.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Uncle Xu and bowed slightly, "Uncle Xu, the matter of sacrificing to the heavens has been completed, I should go back." ”

"I thought of you leaving, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, little boy, I, Xu Muliang, am a rough person and can't say good things, but today in front of you, I still have to say it.

If someone bullies you and suffers grievances after you go back, write to me and tell me that even if I take off this armor, I will help you get justice. Xu Muliang patted his breastplate and said menacingly.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled bitterly for a while, and shook his head helplessly, "What kind of identity do I have, who dares to bully me, but Uncle Xu, you have to pay attention to safety, the border is dangerous, be careful." ”

After hearing Ning Xiaochuan's concerned words, Xu Muliang smiled, "Don't worry, this son, I have been fighting with the old general since I was fifteen years old, and I have been fighting for most of my life, and I am more familiar with the battlefield than my own family, so those barbarians can't help me at all." ”

Ning Xiaochuan patted his ass and got up, and said to Xu Muliang, "Uncle Xu, I'm leaving, you take care of your body, I will come to see you again, and when the time comes, I will have a good time with you, and I won't go home if I don't get drunk." ”

"Hahaha."

Xu Muliang laughed and said, "Okay, my old Xu is just waiting to drink with the little boy, speaking of which, I have never drunk with the little boy in my life."

This time has passed really fast, the little guy who was crying and crying in Mrs. 's arms can also drink with me, I really can't think about it, by the way, how about your drinking, the old general's alcohol consumption is not good, every time you have to let Ning Bofeng block the wine.

There is also the eldest son, he can drink a lot, but every time he drinks to the head of the head he doesn't drink, a little boring, my old Xu family still has a few jars of old rice wine buried under the locust tree, I originally planned to open a jar to taste it in the next few days, but since you said it, then I will wait for the little boy to come and then open, my wine, fragrant......"

Xu Muliang's babbling words were like the reaction of an old man who lives alone at home all the year round after seeing his children, Ning Xiaochuan listened to it, and directly rushed up to give this old general who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round a hug.

This hug made Xu Muliang stunned in place for an instant, and he was unequivocal about getting on the horse to kill him Xu Muliang, but Ning Xiaochuan's hug made him a little at a loss.

The old general's eyes subconsciously turned red.

Ning Xiaochuan let go of Xu Muliang and smiled softly, "Uncle Xu, prepare a good wine, wait for me." ”

After that, he turned over directly on the horse, thinking about the direction of Dunhuang and walked away.

Looking at the direction in which Ning Xiaochuan left, Xu Muliang was stunned for a long, long time, Xu Muliang had a family in his early years, but twenty years ago there was an accident, and his wife fell into the hands of the Northern Barbarian Army.

In order to keep her innocence, Mrs. Xu chose to commit suicide by hitting the wall, and died on the Beiban border together with the three-month-old fetus in her womb, and Xu Muliang was only fifty miles away from the place where his wife died.

Since then, Xu Muliang has never married a wife, looking at Ning Xiaochuan's back, Xu Muliang faintly sighed in his heart, if his children were there, they would be so old now.

……

Ning Xiaochuan and the three of them quickly came to the official road, Chen Xinru, Zheng Guangyuan and others had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Ning Xiaochuan coming, they bowed down one after another, "Little boy." ”

Ning Xiaochuan bowed slightly, "I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"I can see General Xu's heart for the little boy, speaking of which General Xu is also a poor man, he fought for Dafeng all his life, but in the end he didn't even save his wife and children, hey......" Zheng Guangyuan sighed helplessly.

Ning Xiaochuan sat on the horse, looked at the official road in front of him, who couldn't see his head, and said softly: "Uncle Xu's life, everyone is worthy of it, but I am sorry for his wife and children who died at the border, this is what our Ning family owes him, and Dafeng owes him." ”

Everyone was silent, Ning Xiaochuan took a deep breath, and Le Ma shouted, "Go back to Dunhuang." ”

Not long after Ning Xiaochuan and the others left, on the hillside in the distance, Pei Yu landed suspended in the air, standing quietly behind a figure sitting on the edge of the cliff.

The figure on the edge of the cliff was cloaked, sitting cross-legged from beginning to end, with his hands and fingers folded on his abdomen and sitting there quietly.

Pei Yu walked slowly with a fan and stood beside the figure, revealing a compassionate face under the cloak.

After perceiving Pei Yu, he slowly opened his eyes, and a soft female voice came, "After chasing you for so long, you are finally willing to see me." ”

The woman's skin is fair, her lips are bright, her eyebrows and eyes are soft, her expression is compassionate, and the whole person looks like a hibiscus out of the mud without staining, but there is a kind of peony-like elegance between a smile and a smile, and even Pei Yu, who has an extraordinary bearing and graceful demeanor, can hardly hide his noble posture when standing beside her.

Pei Yu shook his fan and was silent.

The woman got up and took off the cloak on her head to prevent sand, "Why are you still avoiding me after you have been out of the customs for so long, if it wasn't for Lu Wei to tell me, I wouldn't have known that you were in Xiangzhou." ”

Pei Yu snorted.

The woman looked at Pei Yu lightly, raised her hands, and wanted to reach out to touch Pei Yu's cheek, but Pei Yu quietly moved to the left.

The woman had no choice but to withdraw her hands, her eyes were red, and she choked up, "Pei Yu, even if your heart is an ice cube, it should be warmed by me, right?" Why are you so ruthless? ”

Pei Yu sighed indifferently, turned to look at the woman, and put away the fan, "Ping'er, you and I are not young anymore, and some things are barely enough." ”

The woman called Ping'er didn't say anything more, and quietly looked at the official road in front of her, "Is it because of "Divine Cry"? I went to Jingzhou and met Lu Wei, who had already told me. ”

Pei Yu's face changed suddenly, becoming extremely terrifying and gloomy, holding the handle of the fan with both hands, but he said stiffly, "No." ”

"You've been lying to yourself for more than a hundred years, isn't it long enough?" Ping'er looked at Pei Yu angrily, and gently pulled up Pei Yu's right hand that was clenching the handle of the fan, his hand was very cold......

"It's all a handful of years, the affairs of men and women have long been forgotten, I Gan Ping has no other wishes in this life, the only thing I want is to spend the rest of my life with you, Pei Yu, my wish is not too much."

A hundred years ago, Pei Yu had infinite scenery, no one on the rivers and lakes knew the name of the Red Flame Blood Sacrifice, at that time, he was a young man, full of spirit, based on the river, and asked who dared to come to this world.

But I don't know when he suddenly found that his male nature was not as good as day by day, and at that time, Pei Yu and Shengxuan Peony Ganping, who was also one of the four masters, had reached the point of talking about marriage, and within a few years, Pei Yu lost his ability to be a man.

That day, Pei Yu got himself drunk and scolded Gan Ping, no one expected Pei Yu to suddenly get so angry.

Since then, Pei Yu began to deliberately avoid Gan Ping, and finally left away without saying goodbye, and the sound of the famous Red Flame Blood Sacrifice in the rivers and lakes became smaller and smaller.

And the four masters were also forced to disband because of Pei Yu's farewell, and it was not until the martial arts war fifty years ago that the four masters reunited, and after the end of the war, Pei Yu chose to live in seclusion, until Ning Xiaochuan came.

Pei Yu, one of the four masters of the Central Plains, can't do the things of Longyang, and this will have a great impact on the rivers and lakes.

And the only one who knows that Pei Yu is not raised, and the source of all this is "Divine Cry".

As a well-known evil skill in the martial arts, "Divine Cry" is indeed a divine skill for martial artists to improve their strength, but as an evil skill, it will naturally cause irreversible damage to the body of martial arts cultivators.

Pei Yu's condition is like this, and there is no cure, unless Pei Yu dissipates his cultivation and becomes an ordinary person.

Pei Yu looked down at Gan Ping, her face full of regret, "Ping'er, our fate has ended since the day I chose "Cry of God", to a certain extent, I am already a waste, even if we are together, I can't live a normal married life, so, I'm sorry." ”

"But I said, I don't care." Gan Ping's tears came out of her eyes, and she held Pei Yu's hand for a long time and did not let go.

"But I don't mind."

Pei Yu said calmly, his eyes were full of reluctance and determination, "I can't accept that I appear in front of you now, I'm really sorry, don't come to me in the future, there will be no result between us." ”

Gan Ping choked and lowered her head, unwillingly let go of Pei Yu's hand, Pei Yu turned around and left, and after sweeping out of several miles, Gan Ping's voice came from afar.

"Pei Yu, I Gan Ping likes you, I'm going to follow you in this life, don't you want to get rid of me, even if you die in Xiangzhou one day, I will be buried with you, I will do what I say."

Pei Yu stopped suddenly, and when he looked back, the woman on the edge of the cliff had long since disappeared.

After sighing regretfully, Pei Yu turned around and chased after Ning Xiaochuan's convoy......
