When Ning Que woke up, it was still dark, and it was dark on the shore of Sobi Lake, so he poured the remaining mutton into the ashes of the bonfire in front of him, walked back to the carriage with Sangsang in his arms, and then let the big black horse start to go south.

The black carriage was no longer as fast as it had been a few days before, and it set out before dawn, and it was almost noon when it came to the outskirts of the earthen city south of the southern part of Subi.

Sangsang had already woken up, leaning on the car window, looking at the increasingly familiar scenery, and did not speak, until he saw the border city surrounded by loess in the distance, and his expression changed slightly.

Ning Que looked at the small city in the distance and said, "Look twice, we may never see it again in the future." ”

The life of the two in Minshan since childhood was full of cold and bloody betrayal, until they came to Weicheng to serve in the army, they finally had a relatively peaceful life, and for the first time they tasted the warmth of the world, in this border city, they lived for many years, and they had their own home and many debts.

Weicheng is their true hometown.

......

......

Ma Shixiang has been a general in Weicheng for many years, because he has no family background, there is no major war between the Tang Dynasty and the Golden Horde, and it is extremely difficult to accumulate military merits, so he has never been promoted.

In another year, he will leave the border army and return to his hometown in Yaoyu County, which he is very satisfied with, because he has accumulated a lot of silver taels over the years, and the only regret is that the money for firewood has decreased a lot in recent years.

Since that guy left Weicheng with his maid, Weicheng's luck seems to have deteriorated, and the pressure of the Golden Horde on the wasteland on the Tang border has gradually increased, although the Golden Horde still does not dare to violate the border. However, the cavalry of those large tribes often pretended to be horse thieves and attacked the logistics horse teams heading to Helan City, which made the Seven Cities, including Weicheng, and even the entire northern border army feel overwhelmed.

What bothered Ma Shixiang even more now was another thing, he looked at the dark clouds that were gradually drifting over Weicheng, his gray hair trembled slightly, and he thought to himself how to deal with those big people in the city?

In Weicheng today. In addition to hundreds of experienced cavalry, there were also many big names a few days ago, two real generals of the Emperor's ** Department with dozens of crossbowmen, and more than a dozen officials from the Tianshu Department. and the three adults of Qin Tianjian, all of whom came to this inconspicuous border city for some reason.

It is said that the situation is similar to that of the other border fortresses in the Seven Cities. It's just that Weicheng is obviously the focus of the surveillance of the bigwigs in Chang'an City, and among the more than ten officials of the Tianshu Office, there are several strong people in the South Gate.

The powerful yamen in Chang'an City seemed to have drawn all their forces over and took over the jurisdiction of the border very directly, and surprisingly, the Beidaying did not react violently to this.

There is no secret in the world that can be absolutely kept, and the reason why these people came to Weicheng has been spread two days ago, and the people in Weicheng are very shocked, but they have to accept it. Because they all saw the edict issued by the Xiling Temple, they knew that it was true.

As the dark cloud got closer and closer, Ma Shixiang's mood became heavier and heavier, and he didn't know what he should do and what he could do. When the military officer issued the military order, he was surprised not to hear it.

"General Ma, did you hear me? Immediately lead the cavalry out of the city, rush to that cloud, and stop the black carriage for me at any cost!"

The military officer shouted in a deep voice.

Ma Shixiang was in a slightly calm mood. "Just need to be driven away?"

A south-gate Taoist with a gloomy expression said: "If there is a chance to kill the daughter of the Hades King, of course you can't miss this opportunity, and let your subordinates act when the time comes, and cooperate with us." ”

......

......

Hundreds of horses rode out of Weicheng, there were several carriages in between, the horses on the front horse were very silent, and the cavalry of Weicheng were also silent, and the team came to a slightly higher meadow in a silent and depressing atmosphere.

The jet-black clouds had already crossed the meadow, extremely wide, and the front end was already about to enter Weicheng, but the last one seemed to be still near Sobi Lake, stretching for an unknown number of miles.

The cavalrymen looked up at the clouds overhead, still silent, but the expressions on their faces were extremely complicated, and when they looked down, they saw the black carriage slowly walking under the clouds, and let out a burst of exclamation.

Several lieutenants and hundreds of cavalrymen, at the same time looked at their commander. Ma Shixiang pulled the reins in his hand, the green tendons were faintly visible, but his face was expressionless, and there was no order.

An official of the Heavenly Pivot Division stepped out of the carriage, looked at the black carriage in the distant wasteland, his expression suddenly froze, and he found that the cavalry around him did not move, and shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for?"

Ma Shixiang said: "The military order I received was not to let the black carriage enter, and now it has not yet entered, so naturally we can only wait." ”

The Nanmen Daoist shouted sharply, "This is a great opportunity to kill the Underworld, what are you hesitating about? Do you want to let that carriage go?"

Ma Shixiang was still expressionless, and said: "I am a Tang soldier, and I only carry out military orders. ”

The Tianshu officer hurriedly walked to a carriage behind, watched the military officer waving his arms angrily, and shouted: "The military must cooperate with our actions, you immediately order the cavalry to attack!"

The military officer was silent.

The official of Qin Tianjian had the lowest status, and he persuaded him: "Although the imperial court issued a document asking us to monitor and drive away, His Majesty's decree did not say that we should take the initiative to attack. ”

Ning Que and Sang Sang reappeared in the world and were on the run, which caused a big storm in Chang'an City, but the forces within the empire had different views on this matter.

Zhuge Wuren, the chief official of the Tianshu Department, is a close confidant of the queen mother, and he is bent on gathering the power of the empire, destroying the black carriage, killing Ning Que by the way, and removing a piece of heart for the queen mother.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, Li Yu, is friendly with Ning Que and Sang Sang, but in the face of the catastrophe that may come to the whole world, the more so. The more she had to remain silent, it was just to everyone's surprise, the strongest and most important military, and they were not very positive about this matter, for example, the military officer had not spoken at this time.

The status of the Tang military is extremely high, and they only obey the will of His Majesty and the military orders of their superiors, so the military officer does not speak. No matter how anxious and angry the officials of the Tianshu Department and the Taoists of the South Gate Temple were, there was no way to forcibly order Ma Shixiang to attack with the Weicheng cavalry without the protection and cooperation of the Tang cavalry. How could they dare to approach the black carriage?

The Weicheng cavalry stood on the meadow, looking at the black carriage, while the people in Weicheng stood on the earthen city. Looking at the black carriage, inside and outside the city, the feelings are all the same complicated.

The people in Weicheng watched Ning Que and Sang Sang grow up, and they never imagined that after Ning Que left Weicheng, there would be such a big commotion, and his little maid actually became the daughter of light.

Ning Que and Sang Sang are now well-known celebrities in the world, and they are the biggest celebrities that have appeared since Weicheng, and they are the biggest pride of Weicheng. It is the object of everyone's talk, and it is the light of Weicheng.

The owner of the gambling shop held on to the earthen arrow stack, looked at the black carriage in the distance, and sighed and said: "He still owes me more than a dozen gambling debts, and it seems that he will not be able to recover it in this life." ”

An aunt with a black face looked at him and said mockingly: "Ning Que and Sang Sang send the silver from Chang'an City every month. But did all the money you give to the dogs be fed by all the people of the city?"

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, then said a little nervously, "It's just a joke...... Speaking of which, thinking of the hard work of the little girl who came to buy wine every day with a wine jug in that season, who would have thought that she would later become the daughter of light, and finally become the daughter of the king of Hades. ”

People on the earthen walls of Weicheng. The love was already very complicated, many people looked at the black carriage in the distance, they were very frightened, and when they listened to the daughter of the Hades, their faces were even more pale.

The aunt looked at everyone's expressions and spat under the earthen wall: "I'm sorry! Ning Que has a bad stomach, and the whole Weicheng knows about it, but Sangsang's girl has a good heart, how can it be the daughter of the Hades King?"

"That's what the edict of the Xiling Temple says. ”

"Xiling Temple also said that we Tang people are guilty, why don't you jump down and commit suicide to atone for your sins?"

......

......

The memorial quarrels and even insults in Weicheng did not affect the hundreds of cavalry on the meadow, and there was still silence, an officer who only came to Weicheng this year to take up his post, some could not bear the oppressive atmosphere in the field, and there was strong pressure from the officials of the Tianshu Department, and whispered beside Ma Shixiang: "General, killing the daughter of the Hades King is a miracle, even if it is worth taking some risks." ”

Ma Shixiang glanced at him, did not speak, then looked at the black carriage again, frowned slightly, suddenly whipped the reins, and circled back to the direction behind the meadow, ready to return to the city.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed down the meadow.

A South Gate Guanyu man swept in front of Ma Shixiang's horse, his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip, and he shouted loudly: "Ma Shixiang, what are you going to do!

Ma Shixiang shouted: "Your Majesty has a will, I will send troops, Your Majesty has no will, you are a miscellaneous old man?"

The officials of the Tianshu Department rushed over and sternly reprimanded: "You scattered the cavalry formation, why did you stop the carriage outside the city?"

Ma Shixiang said: "The carriage will not enter Weicheng. ”

The official shouted sharply: "Ning Que wants to go back to the academy, how can he not enter Weicheng!"

"You know the hair. ”

Ma Shixiang looked at the Tianshu official and said contemptuously. Then he grabbed the horse's belly, knocked the official away, took hundreds of Weicheng cavalry, carried smoke and dust, and entered Weicheng a moment later.

That night, Ma Shixiang and several adjutants, as well as all the cavalrymen who had participated in the wood-cutting activities at Subi Lake, squeezed the only restaurant in Weicheng into an airtight atmosphere.

Everyone told the story of Sobi Lake, the dilapidated courtyard, and the little maid who carried water, to reminisce about the wine, and soon drank all the wine stored by the restaurant owner.

Ma Shixiang was the military governor of Weicheng, and no one dared to fight with him, so he drank the most, and when the wine became drunk, he looked at the people in the restaurant and said: "When Ning Que left Weicheng, he said three words to me, and for those three words, I would not use a knife against him." ”

An adjutant burped and said, "I asked you at the beginning, what are the contents of Ning Que's three sentences, you have always refused to say them, can you say it now?"

Ma Shixiang stroked his beard and said, "Don't say it, don't say it." ”

That night, Ma Shixiang was drunk, and Weicheng was drunk.
