The black carriage followed the convoy of missions in front of him all the way, and when he was about to approach a county seat, there were more buildings on both sides of the official road, but Ning Que still liked the scenery of the countryside, so he let the big black horse get off the official road and drive on the slightly narrow but still smooth county road, anyway, he was confident that he would not lose the mission in front of him.

The idyllic scenery on both sides of the county road is even more beautiful, and there is still some primitive and simple taste, and I don't know how long I drove, looking at the village in front of me, the black carriage stopped under a big tree outside the village.

I don't know what kind of tree that big tree is, the canopy is huge, and the green leaves are luxuriant, like a big umbrella, covering the blazing sunlight and falling shade.

Ning Que untied the big black horse and let it go to play and relax. He walked under the big green tree, touched the thick bark, and smiled happily.

The fellow disciples of the academy don't like to go out of the mountain, because they care more about their own spiritual realm, and the mere spiritual happiness is enough to make them feel fulfilled, but he is different.

He has lived in Minshan since he was a child, and the mountains and forests are as familiar and close to him as home, and he has become a habit of wandering since he was a child, so he doesn't like to stay in one place for a long time.

He has stood in the mountains and forests countless times looking at the smoke of the village in the distance, and countless times because of fear and silently left with Sangsang on his back, probably because of this, so he is extremely fascinated by these rural scenery, before returning to Chang'an City that year, he chose to hold Sangsang's hand through the fields and villages, it is based on this psychology, at this time he chose a remote county road, stopped outside the village, also for this reason.

Sang Sang got out of the carriage, looked at him a little shyly and said, "I fell asleep before." ”

Ning Que said: "It's so comfortable, I also want to sleep well." ”

Sang Sang obviously hadn't adapted to her role reversal yet, and habitually made her think that she was still a little maid, thinking that she was sleeping by herself like that, which was really a little unusual, in order to make up for this mistake, she tried to remember the last sentence she heard before falling asleep, and asked, "How interesting?"

Ning Que was stunned for a moment, only to understand that she was answering her own question an hour ago, and couldn't help but want to laugh, looking at the serious look on her face, and didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm, she replied: "Before leaving Chang'an City, Chen Qi came to talk to me, he said that this General Xian also mixed in the Fish Dragon Gang for a period of time in his early years, and he had a good relationship with Chao Xiaoshu, and the early years mentioned here were even before Qi Si and them, but later I don't know why General Xian became a general, but Chao Xiaoshu has always lived in Chunfeng Pavilion. ”

"You're saying there's something wrong with this person?" asked Sangsan.

Only Ning Que can understand Sang Sang's words, she said that if a person has a problem, it does not mean that this person needs to be suspected of something, what is worth being wary of, but that this person is not good.

Ning Que shook his head and said: "Even if there is a problem, it is also the arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor back then, even if he is really as the rumors in Chang'an City say, the ambition of the northeast army can only show that he has the pride, self-confidence and ambition that a soldier should have, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch cannot be in a hurry, and we don't have to be in a hurry."

Sang Sang said: "I heard that the queen mother is very unhappy. ”

Ning Que said: "Don't forget it, Your Majesty is also a student of the teacher, which is equivalent to saying that it is my senior brother, that is a really wise person, how can such a person really treat the affairs of the country as a family affair, just to warn some people with the anger of the queen." ”

Sang Sang asked curiously, "Who are they?"

Because in fact she was not curious about these things, she opened her eyes wide at this time, and made a curious appearance, which seemed very deliberate, very childish, and very cute.

So Ning Que kissed her on the little cheek.

Sang Sang was a little ashamed but didn't dodge.

She didn't dodge, not because she was flustered, but because she thought that she was kissed by Ning Que, it was a matter of course, so you have to kiss it.

Looking at the little girl's bright eyes, Ning Que coughed a little flustered twice and continued: "Naturally, it is General Xian who is fighting and suppressing Xian...... No, it would be more accurate to say that His Majesty was warning his daughter not to stretch her hand too deep into the army. ”

"Why? Could it be that His Majesty is going to pass the throne to the Empress's son?"

Sang Sang asked curiously. This time she was really curious, because Li Yu was one of her few friends in Chang'an City, and because she knew that this matter had something to do with Ning Que.

Ning Que said: "I don't know, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us." ”

said that it didn't matter, after all, it still mattered, otherwise how could he think about these problems, just like the girls with red sleeves in the mission more than ten miles away, it was also a problem that he needed to consider.

Jane didn't ask him to take care of those girls along the way, but with the relationship between him and Red Sleeves, if something really happened, he couldn't care less, in addition to the interactions between each other, more importantly, the academy naturally had the responsibility to take care of Red Sleeves - the woman named Xiaoxiao thirty years ago was the fiancée of Uncle Xiao, and she almost became their little aunt and the sister of Jane's family.

More than 20 years ago, the last time the red sleeves performed abroad, was to be invited to participate in the Yu Lan Festival of the Rotten Ke Temple, and it was at that Yu Lan Festival that their little aunt Xiang Xiaoyu died, and now after more than 20 years, the red sleeves will appear again in the Rotten Ke Temple, how can Ning Que not be vigilant?

At this moment, Ning Que suddenly felt that someone was approaching, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, looking towards the big tree, only to see a black shadow sweeping towards this side like lightning.

With his eyesight, he could certainly see that the black shadow was the big dark horse, and what made him feel vigilant was what happened that made the big black horse appear so panicked.

You must know that except for the natural disaster more than ten years ago, the law and order of the people of Datang has always been good, Ning Que is not worried about his safety, and even if there are really rare bandits, he doesn't mind that in addition to being violent and good, he will make a name for the academy, even if it is a cultivator.

First defeated Guanhai and then killed Dao Shi, cut down Liu Yiqing, until he unbelievably defeated Xiahou, someone's strength has been confirmed countless times. Although Wang Jingluo is unlikely to be convinced, there is already a consensus in the current cultivation world that Mr. Thirteen of the Academy is the first person who truly knows his fate

What's more, with Sang Sang, the successor of the Great Divine Officer of Light, by his side, Ning Que had his destiny in his hands, and even dared to fight head-on with the Great Cultivator of the Knowing Destiny Realm. Of course, those great cultivators who have advanced to the realm of knowing fate must be very clear about the identity background of him and Sangsang, who will be idle and have nothing to do to provoke the academy and the Xiling Temple at the same time.

The big black horse ran back to Ning Que and the others, leaving a trail of smoke and dust, constantly wheezing, and looking extremely panicked.

Ning Que looked at the smoke and dust with a solemn expression.

The smoke and dust gradually cleared, and I saw a shirtless man holding a pitchfork and rushing over.

"The thief is running away, see if I can't kill you!"

The matter was quickly explained, it turned out that the big black horse was walking around, smelling the aroma of the village in front of him, he couldn't control his mind, followed the smell to the window of the house, poked his head into the window, stole the farmer's food, and then was discovered by the farmer's owner, which caused this chase.

Ning Que glared at the big black horse fiercely, thinking to himself that you are really a useless fool, young master, I make up for you every day with the yellow elf fruit, and I actually have to steal other people's food!

The big black horse lowered his head in shame, looking very honest, and thought silently in his heart, it was his fault that he didn't hold back from stealing food, if he didn't show some wolf bèi, who knows how it will be cleaned up by you.

Ning Que looked at the farmer and apologized with a wry smile.

The farmer propped up the pitchfork and held his waist, really tired and panting, and said, "This guy runs *** fast, and he is really a good horse! No wonder I boiled a pot of porridge and was swallowed in one bite!"

Ning Que heard that what the big black horse stole was actually a pot of big rice porridge, and he felt even more embarrassed and lost to his hometown, and said with a wry smile: "It's really not good to be used to eating and being lazy." ”

When the farmer heard this, he shook his head in disapproval, and said, "I have never seen anything better than it in the cavalry battalion, not even the general's mount. ”

Datang implements a three-year conscription system, in order to open up the territory, the size of the army is not small, plus the people are martial, so many men have experience in the army, listening to this, knowing that this farmer originally retired from the army, Ning Que was not surprised, took out the silver money from his arms and handed it over, and said: "This bento is the porridge money of the pot of porridge, and the pot must be dirty, and it is also counted in it." ”

The farmer waved his hand in disbelief and said, "Looking at this horse god horse through the window, I guess there should be a master, so I chased it over to see why I was missing this porridge money." ”

Ning Que said with a smile: "If you don't miss this porridge money, why do you want to chase after it?"

The farmer said of course: "That's because you have a good ecological degree, if your attitude is a little sloppy, then I will be short not only of porridge money, but also of porridge wages." ”

This kind of naturalness is common in the academy and in the Tang people, Ning Que likes this kind of naturalness very much, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will not fool you." ”

The farmer looked at the black carriage and Sangsang in the maid's suit, guessed that they were resting here for a while, and invited, "It's not convenient to talk here, go to my house and say." ”

Ning Que is good at dealing with people, and he also likes this farmer's temperament, but he is still the indifferent young man in his bones, and he wants to refuse when he hears this.

Unexpectedly, the farmer insisted again and again, and said, "Since it is a long run, you must always have clean water, if you care, you can give me money when you leave." ”

Ning Que still wanted to refuse.

The farmer looked at him and frowned and said, "I can see your appearance, and I know that you are also a person who has been in the barracks, and how to do things like such a mother-in-law."

Ning Que looked at the perseverance between the farmer's eyebrows, and suddenly remembered Weicheng after a long absence, those soldiers in Weicheng, and the three sentences he left for General Ma before parting.

"Then go. He smiled and said, "But I still have to drink." ”

The farmer laughed and said, "Home-brewed grain wine, no matter how good it is, but it is enough." ”
