Lu Xiaoxiao rested very restlessly in the city.

At first, he had been holding his sword vigilantly, but when the long-term sleepiness slowly hit, he slowly let go of his hand and fell asleep crookedly on the top of the city.

In the haze, I seemed to see the young man walking up to the city, squatting beside her and shaking her shoulders, and then speaking very sincerely.

Senior sister, it's over, let's go back to Fengqiling.

Lu Xiaoxiao jumped up happily and pulled the boy towards the mountain range in the north.

But strange things happened, Lu Xiaoxiao found that no matter how he ran, he couldn't run out of Nanyi City, so he always went down to the city and went up to the city.

The boy asked if she had forgotten her way back.

Lu Xiaoxiao began to get anxious, scurrying around the city head of Nanyi City like a headless fly.

However, the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't find the direction.

On the contrary, it is going further and further.

So the young man shook off Lu Xiaoxiao's hand, and said very indifferently: It turns out that Senior Sister doesn't want to take me back to the Little White Sword Sect, so forget it.

Lu Xiaoxiao was anxious to chase the boy.

But the boy ran very fast, and the figure holding the black umbrella disappeared into the twilight at once.

Lu Xiaoxiao stood on the city wall sadly and said nothing.

So when she was woken up in her sleep, she was still very surprised and said, "Senior brother, are you back?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu stood there with a blank face, looking at the woman in front of him, scratching his head, thinking to himself when did I become a junior brother?

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoxiao saw the bloody clothes in time, so he reacted and swallowed the words behind, so he didn't let others know that he had a very stupid dream.

Looking at the sky in a daze, it was already dark, and a few stars were faintly twinkling in the sky.

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed, touched his sword from his side, stood up and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "Senior brother, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu originally wanted to ask her if she had any steamed buns to eat, but seeing her like this now, she didn't say it, just smiled and said, "It's nothing, the wind is too strong in the city, if you are tired, you can go back to Nanyi City to rest for a while." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief while holding his sword, if it wasn't for someone from outside the city coming up again, it would be fine.

He shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but my senior brother wants to take a break." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu walked towards Mei Quming's senior brothers and said, "I have already rested before. ”

"Oh."

Lu Xiaoxiao responded in the back.

But he saw Zhang Xiaoyu walk a few steps, turned around again, and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao quietly for a long time, as if he wanted to say something.

"Senior brother?"

Lu Xiaoxiao asked with some confusion.

Zhang Xiaoyu turned his head to look at the city, and then looked back at Lu Xiaoxiao above the city, and said, "If I deceive Nandao away, do you have the confidence to leave him on Fengqi Ridge?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xiaoyu blankly, not knowing what he meant.

Zhang Xiaoyu said very seriously: "For example, I said that my sword was found and fell on Fengqi Ridge, and then you happen to know where it is, I asked him to go back to Lingnan with you, can you trick him and stay there?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, but found that this blood-colored Sword Sect disciple didn't seem to be joking.

But why should that? And brother, don't you have your sword in your hand? ”

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the sword in his hand and said, "This is not my sword." As for why this is happening, I'm sorry, I can't tell you. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and said: "Although we all hope that we can let that young man return to Lingnan to cultivate swords, even if it is just a period of practice and then leave, at least when people mention him in the future, they will also say that he was born in Lingnan." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, shook his head, and continued: "But we don't want to do this. If you deceive him into Fengqiling, you can also claim that he is a disciple of Lingnan, but if you deceive him, he will definitely hate us little sword cultivators in the future. I don't dare bet. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu quietly listened to Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and did not force it, but just smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao said softly: "It's okay, thank you senior brother for remembering my request." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "It's just that it's really difficult." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao also sighed.

Of course it's hard.

Zhang Xiaoyu turned around and left this place.

Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the city wall facing Daze with his sword in his hand and stood for a long time.

The blood on the top of the city had not completely dried up, and when you leaned against the wall, you could smell the rather strong smell of blood.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked down, and the corpses that they threw down had been dragged away by the Huangliang people at some point.

Presumably when you fell asleep on your own?

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know.

The green hills outside the city have been burned by the sword fire, and the dirt and rocks have sparsely appeared, so there is no need to worry about someone hiding inside.

In fact, it doesn't really matter if it's hidden inside.

There are many sword cultivators on the city, and there may be no time to take care of other places during the fierce battle, so at this time, you can naturally have the spare strength to clean up the hidden dangers around the sword.

Naturally, the Huangliang army had already retreated to the edge of Daze, waiting for the second attack after repair.

It was quiet outside the city, only some Lingnan sword cultivators were walking through the night with swords outside the city, searching for the corpses of some sword cultivators in those blood-stained lands and rivers.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at it with some sadness, but suddenly saw that in the distance in Daze, there seemed to be some sword light coming suddenly, and some witchcraft spread on the side of Daze, and the sword light did not mean to entangle, but just broke the witchcraft cleanly and came towards Nanyi City.

It should be those senior brothers who went to Daze before?

How did they get back?

Could it be that something is going on in Osawa again?

Lu Xiaoxiao leaned on the head of the city and thought worriedly.

In an instant, the sword light had already crossed the Daze Green Mountains and landed on the head of Nanyi City.

Lu Xiaoxiao turned his head to look over there, it was where Zhang Xiaoyu and the Sword Sect Senior Brothers were.

They seemed to be talking about something, but Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't hear it that far, so he could only see their lips moving, and their expressions were a little solemn.

Lu Xiaoxiao watched for a while, and then returned to sit under the city wall.

Big things and small things.

People like her Lu Xiaoxiao naturally can't get involved.

Instead of worrying, it's better to take a break.

lest the movement cause the wounds on the body that had only been bandaged in the afternoon to bleed again.

Lu Xiaoxiao yawned and pulled the hat down, covering the starlight.

And Zhang Xiaoyu in the distance, standing in the night in a bloody suit, looked very silent.

The brothers brought back some news that was not very pleasant.

In fact, in today's Nanyi City, there is probably no news that can make people happy.

Zhang Xiaoyu carried Parrot Island on his back and quietly looked into the depths of Daze.

If what the brothers said is true.

Relatively speaking, these armies from sorghum are not so important.

Nanyicheng naturally thought about this issue.

At first, before the fog had cleared, they had guessed what was going on in Ozawa.

Otherwise, he would not have killed Liu Yue, who had returned with difficulty, in the Sword Sect.

Zhang Xiaoyu was silent for a moment and looked back to the north.

I only hope that the northern cultivation world can really pay attention to this piece of Daze, instead of seeing the complete loss of Nanyi City, it is too late.

But the good news is not without it.

At least some of the senior brothers have returned to Nanyi City, and for Zhang Xiaoyu, the pressure at the moment will be much less.

Is that good news?

It's just that there are still some senior brothers who stay in Daze, holding back the reinforcements from the rear of Huangliang.

Zhang Xiaoyu watched for a long time, then also returned to the wall, sat down under the wall, put the parrot island on his lap, and closed his eyes.

......

The North City Lord of Nanyi City, who had not been seen for a long time, was standing by a stream under the Fengqi Ridge.

The starlight in the night sprinkled in the stream, like some sparkling fish.

Beiyuan looked down at the fish in the water.

I feel that it is also like my former self, and it is also my future self.

Of course, Beiyuan didn't want to turn his face with the world like this.

It's just that no one thought that Beitai would find the former generation of the Qingtian Dao at that time.

When he walked out of the city with that wind and rain dao technique, Beiyuan had no time to regret it.

So I had to leave Nanyi City in a hurry on a dark night.

The water of the stream is actually not that clear.

Occasionally, some blood flowed inside, like a thin red silk scarf, and gradually drifted away in the water.

That's because there was a war further ahead, closer to Fengqiling.

It is true that the 200,000 troops of Shanyue City marching to Nanyi City were beaten into old and weak, sick and disabled, but in fact, they were not so tragic.

Both sides know in their hearts that what is happening here is not a war that has to be fought to the end.

So when someone began to retreat, the two sides of the battle gradually stopped.

Then he passed by in silence.

Some to the south, some to the north.

Naturally, the North Park is going north.

So he looked at it for a long time, squatted down by the stream, bowed and washed his face.

On the other side of the stream, a mile further away, there is a green armor heading north in countless nights.

At night, the countless green armor walking at the foot of the green mountains are like flowing low grass.

There was footsteps behind him.

Beiyuan didn't have to look back to know that it was Baihe and Beitai.

"It's time for us to go, father." Beitai looked at Beiyuan, who was washing his face by the stream, and said softly.

Beiyuan wiped his face and didn't express any thoughts, just said quietly, "Okay." ”

Then he stood up, looked at the thousands of green armor under the night sky on the other side, and began to raise his legs and step on the grass on the bank of the stream, heading towards the north.

Limping, looking a little bulky.

Beitai also limped along.

But it is much more energetic.

Maybe it's because of his youth.

Bai He'an quietly folded his hands and stepped forward, following behind the two.

......

When the 200,000 troops with more or less wounded were still bypassing Fengqiling and coming towards Nanyi City, Nanyi City was still quietly located in a post-war night.

Nandao carried the peach blossom sword on his back, like an idle wanderer, walking casually on the long night street.

Occasionally, when someone hurried by, they looked at Nandao and the sword behind him.

Then he walked over with a strange look.

Maybe he was thinking, how could there be such a leisurely sword cultivator?

Nandao didn't know what they were going to think.

Even if I knew, I would only think that it wasn't me who could end this war, wouldn't I?

After wandering around the streets of Nanyi City for a long time, Nandao looked up over the eaves that had fallen silent in the night, and looked above the city head in the south.

It was also quiet there, and there was still no sign of fighting.

Nandao watched quietly for a long time, then lowered his head, clutched the umbrella in his hand, and walked towards the Hanging Courtyard.

Grass for fireflies may still be sitting in a daze or fishing in Jingsi Lake.

But the South Island didn't go to see it.

Yun Hu didn't know that he was on the bamboo forest path outside the library, holding a book in his hand, looking up at the starlight, not knowing what he was thinking.

Although Nandao had already tried his best to step on the ground gently, the sound of stepping on bamboo leaves still woke Yun Hu Zhizhi.

This well-known young scholar turned his head to look at this side, and when he saw Nandao, he was still a little surprised, as if he wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth again, looked at Nandao and nodded and smiled.

Nandao walked over with an umbrella, saluted, sat down on the bamboo chair on the side, looked at Yun Hu and said, "Mr. seems to have some questions." ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to think about it and said, "There are indeed some, but I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Nandao estimated that it should be related to himself, and said, "Sir, please speak." ”

Yun Hu said unknowingly: "I always thought that you had gone to the top of the city. ”

Just such a short sentence.

Nandao was silent for a while, and said, "Sir, think I should go?" ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to smile and said, "No, it's just that I haven't seen you recently, so I subconsciously thought that you went with those Sword Sect disciples, but when I suddenly saw it, I was also a little surprised." ”

Nandao looked at Yun Hu in silence and said, "Surprising that I am actually a teenager who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

Yun Hu closed the scroll without knowing it, and said softly: "That's not it, it's just ......"

Nandao looked up at the night, smiled quietly, and said, "Of course I am a teenager who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Mr. must still remember the scene outside the small bamboo garden. ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to remember.

At that time, the boy was crying messily on the bamboo forest path.

"That's different, of course." Yun Hu sighed and said.

Nandao's gaze stayed on the edge of the umbrella and said softly, "It's the same." ”

Yun Hu sighed, looking at the young man beside him, and felt that he might not stir up this topic.

Nandao just looked at the umbrella in his hand quietly, and said slowly: "You see that I have never taken the initiative to let go of this umbrella, Mr. Yunhu may not know the story under this umbrella, but as long as I still hold the umbrella tightly, then I am still afraid of death." ”

Nanjima stood up as he spoke, holding his umbrella and walking towards the path in front of him that was sprinkled with fallen leaves.

"That's it."

The boy's voice came quietly in the night.

It's a little chilly.

Probably imitating a woman in a white dress?

Yun Hu didn't know.

But he really didn't mean to ridicule or reprimand the boy.

I'm just thinking about that subconscious misunderstanding and trying to say it.

It's just that he doesn't know it.

The boy had been thinking about these things since he left Nanyi City.

Therefore, Yun Hu's words that he didn't know touched some of the entanglements in the young man's heart very accurately.

There is no one who does not want to live with wanton and pride.

But some stories don't allow it.

So the boy held an umbrella and went to the listening platform alone.

Chen He still leaned on the guardrail by the stage with his biography in his arms, and fell asleep quietly.

Nandao thinks it's really good for Chen He to be like this, but he doesn't know that there have been some sad stories here in Chen He.

Of course, no one knows what they want to do.

Each has its own story.

When it comes to gossip, it's gossip.

When I don't talk about it, it's the sorrow that is hidden in my heart.

So Nandao put down his sword and went to Heavenly Town in a dream.

The town is still peaceful and relaxed.

Nandao carried a sword and an umbrella on his back through the town, through the sea of flowers, and came to the edge of the great lake.

There is a grass firefly sitting under the tree, drinking wine and looking at the cliffs of the big lake, quite leisurely.

"So you're hiding here, too."

Nan Dao walked over and sat down next to the young man in green clothes.

Cao Weiying turned his head to look at Nandao, and said with a soft smile: "I was originally from this dream town, and staying here has always been the right thing to do. ”

Nandao was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "So I'm the only one who came to hide." ”

Grass drank wine for Hotaru and said, "That's not true. ”

Nandao heard a snoring sound, turned his head to look at the sea of flowers he had waded in earlier, and found that in some unobtrusive corner, a young man was covering his face with a book, and was sleeping in the tranquility of the fragrance of flowers.

Chen He.

Nandao was silent, and didn't do anything that seemed a little immoral to wake him up.

Just staring at the big lake.

Cao Weiying handed over the wine gourd, and Nandao didn't refuse, and took it and drank it from Tuntuntun.

Cao Weiying looked at him with a smile on the side.

"Why did you come here to hide?"

Nandao put the wine gourd on his lap, and didn't mean to return the grass to the firefly, just quietly looked at the lake, waiting for the drunkenness in the wine to come up.

"Because I stay outside, some people will say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death."

Cao Wei turned his head with a smile, looked at the Cloud Cliff Lake, and said slowly: "Then do you think you are?" ”

Nandao looked at the lake and said, "This is the most troublesome." ”

"Why?"

"Because I don't know if I am."

"Hahahaha."

The grass is very presumptuous, smiling very presumptuously.

Nanjima turned his head, looked at the grass and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Cao Weiying shook her head while smiling, and said, "Since you don't know, why don't you give it a try?" ”

Nandao held the wine gourd, was silent for a long time, and sighed and said, "Okay, then I am." ”

Cao Weiying looked at the young man who picked up the wine gourd and began to drink the wine violently, and said slowly: "Then why are you?" ”

Nanjima took a big sip of wine before stopping, lowered his head and coughed quietly, then looked back at the town for a long time, turned his head to look at the grass for Hotaru and said, "Can I put my umbrella here?" ”

Cao Weiying said very sincerely: "No. ”

Nandao whispered, "So I am." ”

Grass patted Nandao's shoulder and said, "So you'd better be greedy for life and afraid of death." ”
