Chapter 172: General Chen's Temptation

"I came out and delayed for four and a half days, and I guess I have saved a lot of things waiting for me to do, and I have to go back to the city soon, so I won't go all the way with the Taoist." Wu Nuxia said, "Even if you go all the way, you have to separate when you enter the city." ”

"Heroine, just go and get busy."

"Good!"

"Walk slowly."

"Thoroughly......

Wu Nuxia shouted, and did not hit the horse, and the yellow-maned horse ran on its own, and the horse's hooves splashed with mud flowers.

Although the horses are short, they are not slow.

It's still a horse.

The figure quickly disappeared on the official road in front of him.

Song You withdrew his gaze.

It's just that this woman took herself out for a walk, delayed for four and a half days, and didn't find the doctor Cai she was looking for, not to mention, but also because she was involved in the disputes of the Jianghu people. I don't know if those people who want to take away the painting remember her and whether they will go to her for trouble.

Anyway, I don't want to go.

It's useless to think too much, so I don't want to, and the Taoist just walks slowly along the side of the road.

The girl next to her seemed to be more carefree, but she broke a stick out of nowhere, brushed the head of the weeds on the side of the road, and made a noise on her mouth. Whenever there were dragonflies and butterflies flying on the road, she would jump up and catch them anyway, and when they fell to the ground, they often splashed a lot of mud.

The city of Changjing is getting closer.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of heavy horses' hooves behind me.

"Tosh!"

When I turned around, I saw several high-headed horses coming with whips, and they were riding the forbidden army in armor, and before they approached, they shouted in their mouths:

"Get out of the way! Get to the side of the road! ”

The Taoist hurriedly grabbed the girl's wrist, pulled her to his side, watched the forbidden soldiers beat their horses past, and then followed their words, let them go to the dirt on the side of the road.

Then he turned his head to look in the direction where the forbidden army had come.

A large group of people was slowly approaching.

Three tall horses in the first place.

The two horses that walked in the front, one pure white and flawless, without a single miscellaneous hair, were white jade lions. A horse as black as ink, with a shiny body like black satin, is a black night beast. Sitting immediately were two young men with extraordinary manners, estimated to be no more than twenty years old, dressed in hunting clothes, with outstanding bearing.

These two horses are already majestic and majestic, rare in the world, but the horse behind them is slightly behind them by half a head, but it is a head taller than them, black and white, handsome and extraordinary.

The man on the horse was dressed in a red robe, and under the red robe, he looked majestic, and he was wearing armor on this hot day.

This horse has been seen by people, and people have seen it.

The three of them talked freely, but most of the time only the two young men were talking, one was talkative, the other was elegant and gentle, and the general beside him was silent most of the time, only faintly echoing two sentences when they asked about themselves, as if they were lacking in interest.

There were also quite a few servant sergeants behind him.

The most striking thing is a board cart, which is full of prey, deer, rabbits, goats, wolves and leopards.

The group was getting closer and closer.

The general habitually looked around, but after casually glancing at the Taoist on the side of the road in front of him, he never looked away, nor did he reply to the words of the two noble young men.

Until he walked to the Taoist's side.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The general only grasped the reins lightly and lifted them, without pulling hard or making a sound, and the horse understood and stopped.

"Appeal ......"

Only then did the cries sound beside him and behind him.

The group stopped.

I saw the general stop on his horse, arched his hand sideways, and said to the roadside passer:

"See you again, sir."

The Taoist on the side of the road also immediately saluted and replied:

"I've seen General Chen."

Seeing this, the two young men both had their own ideas.

The older boy's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he knew in an instant who this person was and why General Chen knew him.

The younger boy looked puzzled, but he was also gentle, smiling like a spring breeze, and asked the general beside him:

"The general has met an old acquaintance?"

"Back to Your Highness, it's an old acquaintance."

The general replied calmly and continued to look at the Taoist: "I don't know where Mr. is from?" ”

"Went out of the mountains."

"But you're going back to the city?"

"Exactly."

"It's just rained, the road is muddy, and meeting is fate, I wonder if Chen is lucky enough to ask Mr. to go along?"

General Chen said and glanced back.

Immediately, a forbidden soldier turned over and dismounted, stepped on the mud, and grabbed the reins and walked towards the Taoist.

The Taoist looked down at his feet, shook his head and refused: "Thank you for the general's kindness, but the shoes are dirty, so it doesn't matter, although I want to go back to the city, I am not in a hurry." ”

"Sir, good Yaxing."

"It's not Yaxing, it's really all the way, I've gone too far, and the capital is close at hand, so it's not bad."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The people around him looked at each other again.

But he didn't expect that General Chen Ziyi, who was famous and had heavy troops, would invite him so politely, and some people would dare to refuse.

I saw that the general sitting on the horse nodded, thoughtfully, and then turned around and bowed to the people around him: "Your Royal Highness, the capital is close at hand, Chen is fortunate to meet old acquaintances today, so I asked the two highnesses to go back to the city first, and let Chen have a chat with Mr. Chen, so that it is good to catch up with the old days." ”

"Nature......

The older boy hurriedly replied.

The younger ones wanted to say something more, but when they heard the words, they had to give up, and only looked curiously at the Taoist who was leading the girl to stand on the side of the road.

The large army continued to advance, leaving only General Chen and two of his own soldiers to stop in place.

"Sir, you really don't ride a horse?"

"Good intentions."

"The children around Mr. are young, and Chen can also bring out a horse." General Chen looked at the girl beside the Taoist again.

"We've got horses!"

The girl looked up at him.

"It's fine."

Without thinking, the general turned over, led the horse and approached the Taoist, smiled and saluted: "When I saw him in the palace before, Chen wanted to talk more with Mr., but he couldn't enjoy it, and he didn't think that he would return to the city from this hunt, but he could meet Mr. on the side of the road, which was really fateful." ”

"General, this is ......"

"Accompany the two Highnesses out of the city to hunt." The general looked at the large group of people who were gradually moving away in front of him, and added, "Your Majesty's order." ”

"Then the general will have a problem when he goes back."

"Honestly."

"Why is the general wearing heavy armor when he goes out of the city to hunt?"

"There are many tigers, bears and beasts outside the city, and occasionally there are monsters that have become spirits, so if you want to protect Your Highness, you naturally need armor."

"I see."

Song You smiled and didn't ask more.

The large army went farther and farther, and the forbidden army behind the palace also left, and the Taoist re-embarked on the official road and walked forward, but there was already an additional general and two personal soldiers around him, all neatly dressed and leading the horse.

"In recent days, the city has been full of rumors of the Taiwei Mansion, and some people even say that it is a god who descends to earth and turns into a mortal body to punish traitors and bullies." General Chen laughed, and walked with the Taoist, which can better reflect how tall and majestic his figure is, especially the heavy armor under the robe, "The dignitaries and nobles know more, I don't know how many people have been looking for Mr. these days, but where did I think that Mr. actually went outside the city to visit the masters, I am afraid that they will all be closed." ”

"Do the people of the city know what they are doing?"

"Most don't know."

"That'll be fine."

"It seems that the gentleman is happy."

"Most Taoists like to be quiet."

"Yes."

"How did the general know that he was going out of the city to visit the masters?" The Taoist asked with a smile.

"Previously, in the palace, Mr. asked the national teacher who were the masters in Changjing. Mr. traveled all over the world, and he had the heart to search. General Chen replied unhurriedly, "What's more, this morning, when I walked to the road, I met a group of people from the rivers and lakes with knives and sticks, and I was very embarrassed, and I was stopped by the military academy and asked about it. ”

"I see."

"What a good trick sir."

"It's all done by the snake fairy." The Taoist said truthfully, "But I didn't go to find the snake immortal, but to find the Cai Divine Doctor." They are all in the Beiqin Mountains, one is on the periphery and the other is in the depths. I never thought that I didn't see the demeanor of Doctor Cai in the next place, but I met the snake fairy. ”

"That's fate, too."

General Chen glanced at the long box behind him.

Neither of them mentioned the paintings of the Dou family.

There is no need to mention it at this time.

The world has always been like thisβ€”

This painting is precious, and many people in the rivers and lakes don't even want their lives, but it also depends on where it is placed.

Falling into the rivers and lakes is the source of the bloody rain. The treasure house placed in the important ministers' houses of the DPRK and the central government may also lead to a battle between the open and the dark. But if it is hung in the palace, it will be the talk of the world. Although General Chen has not seen the skills of the Daoist, he can roughly guess one or two, and no one can take it away from him.

"There are still many places that I haven't been to in the downstream world, and I don't know if I can ask the general for advice."

"Knowing everything, saying everything."

"I heard that after the war in the north, the border was ten rooms and nine empty, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." The Taoist asked as he walked, "I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"Really."

A short answer, without the slightest emotion.

It's like a word in a history book.

When the general gave this answer, he did not have the slightest expression on his face, and it was not until he finished answering this word, he was silent, and took a few steps forward, did he speak, and roughly smeared the tragic situation on the border: "The struggle between nations and races is the most cruel, and whenever the barbarians of Saibei come to our place, they will be like locusts crossing the border, leaving no one behind, and it has been so for thousands of years. ”

"And what about us?"

"It's the same."

"I heard that there are many demons in the north."

"It's not a rumor." The general replied as he walked, "Sir is a high-ranking man, and he must know that once a place is uninhabited, it belongs to a demon." And in a place, once many people die, the demons of this place are even more wanton and crazy, as terrible as the plague. ”

"Is there a god in the north?"

"Below is the general of the Dayan border army, who only fights with foreign barbarians, and rarely cares about demons." The general paused, "But I often hear rumors of a priest coming to the world and fighting with the demon night in the rear. ”

"That's ......"

The two continued to talk as they walked.

The Taoist had already heard the story of this general, and he didn't know how many times he had heard it, so why didn't he want to talk to him?

Moreover, there are things in the north that I want to consult.

It's a pity that the last time they met was in the palace, and today is the protagonist, and it is inconvenient for the two to talk too much.

This is a good time.

The general also had something to test him.

So the pace was three points slower than in the past, talking to each other, the Taoist people saw the customs of the north, and also saw this general who was destined to remain in the eternal name, and the Changjing City was getting closer and closer.

"It's almost into town."

"Is there anything wrong with General Chen?"

"Chen should go after the two highnesses."

"This is a big deal, don't dare to delay the general."

General Chen laughed, turned over and got on the horse, sat on the horse, but looked at the Taoist again, and was not in a hurry to leave: "Chen forgot something." ”

"General, please."

"In the previous Northern War, thanks to the national teacher's ability to do things like a god, Dayan was able to win so easily. For the calculation of divination, Chen was really curious. General Chen stared down at him, "Sir is an immortal master who is admired even by the national teacher, I wonder if he also knows the way of fortune-telling?" ”

"I disappointed the general, I don't know how to do it."

"Is this true, sir? But don't lie to me. ”

"I have consulted the general many times, the general knows everything, he has said everything, and he is very grateful for it, and now the general has something to ask, how can he deceive and conceal it?"

The general bowed his head, and the Taoist raised his head.

The two looked at each other, both sincere.

It's all in plain sight.

"Thank you, sir."

"The general is polite."

"I wonder if I can come and visit Mr. next time?"

"Naturally."

"Then I will take my leave."

"Tosh!"

The spotted beast suddenly ran wildly, like the wind and thunder.

Two of his own soldiers followed on horseback.

The three figures quickly walked away.

The Taoist retracted his gaze and smiled, the similarities and differences between the people in the story after they came to reality, the young man at the beginning and the general who the emperor is afraid of now, the comparison between the two is really wonderful.
