Chapter 19: Nothing in the Snowy Mountains

Hua Shanyue glanced at the dense forest around him, and then noticed the many corpses left by the enemy in the forest, looking at the traces of blood and fighting, especially after taking the thin handleless sword, he knew how tragic the sniping that happened last night, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

He motioned to his subordinates to prepare their horses and said, "Your Highness, the reinforcement team has already hit the road, we should leave quickly." ”

Princess Li Yu nodded, agreed to his arrangement, and walked over under the heavy arch of the heavy cavalry.

At this time, Hua Shanyue glanced coldly at Ning Que beside the fire, there was no emotion in his eyes, which made people feel a little cold, he was guessing the real relationship between this young soldier and Her Royal Highness the princess, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this soldier could not pose any threat to himself, so his gaze became more and more faint.

The indifference in this gaze actually hides a lot of possibilities, Ning Que is very aware of this, he quietly looked at Hua Shanyue's back, thinking of the burning and tenderness in the eyes of this person before, knowing that he would not be bad for the idiot princess, but it seems that this possessiveness is really too strong.

The young general's fanatical love for Her Royal Highness the princess, to be honest, really has nothing to do with a soldier of Ning Que's level, but Ning Que doesn't like the indifference in Hua Shanyue's last glance, he knows that this kind of indifference represents a kind of killing at any time with a strong strength as the background, and it represents a kind of disdain, two or even three looks.

Ning Que didn't like it, so he stood up, looked at the woman who was about to get on the horse, raised his chin and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, in fact, since I was in Weicheng, I have always had a sentence I want to say to you......"

Huashan Yue Huo Ran looked back, the beautiful princess on the white horse in the morning light frowned and turned around, quietly looked at the young soldier by the fire, seemed to want to reprimand a few words, after all, he just said lightly: "Let's talk about it after returning to Chang'an." ”

Before leaving, Hua Shanyue asked the head of the guard a few words in a low voice, probably understanding what happened to the princess since she entered the country, and also knowing Ning Que's appearance in last night's assassination, he was silent for a moment, walked up to Ning Que and said with a calm expression: "You have made a great contribution this time, and the court will be rewarded after returning to Chang'an...... Good job, little guy. ”

Ning Que took Sangsang to the simple tent on the gentle slope to pack his luggage.

Sang Sang re-tied the big black umbrella on his back a little awkwardly, suddenly raised his pointed chin, frowned at Ning Que and asked suspiciously, "Young Master, did you say it on purpose just now...... Do you have a message to say?"

"yes. Ning Que scraped off the blood stains that had solidified on the blade, and replied casually: "That guy named Hua Shanyue is too hypocritical and boring, and I am unhappy when I look at him, so I have to make him unhappy." ”

"Young Master, what were you going to say to Her Royal Highness the Princess just now?" Sang Sang stopped what he was doing and asked curiously.

"How do I know. Ning Que inserted the knife into the sheath, looked at her and shrugged, and said: "In short, it is impossible to say that from the first day I saw you in Weicheng, I was deeply fascinated by you and fell in love with your ...... feverishly"

"But Lieutenant Hua may think so, Your Highness...... Maybe I really thought you wanted to say that. ”

"It's not surprising that idiots have idiotic thoughts. Ning Que replied.

The little maid looked him in the eye and said, "Do you think that sometimes you are bored?"

Ning Que bias indicates default.

Sang Sang shook his head, looked at him again after a moment, and asked, "Young Master, is it true that in your eyes, everyone else in the world except you is an idiot?"

Ning Que thought seriously while strapping the scabbard, and after thinking for a long time, he replied seriously: "This problem is not me, but that there are always many idiots in this world who do idiotic things. A proud person like Hua Shanyue can't be considered an idiot, but he actually believes in something like love, and he will inevitably be an idiot. ”

Sang Sang pointed his index finger at his nose and asked seriously, "Am I also an idiot in your eyes?"

Ning Que looked at this swarthy little face, and Yan replied seriously: "You are not an idiot, you are stupid." ”

Before everyone left the North Mountain Pass, there was a small episode.

The cavalry of Gushan County left several horsemen to guard the scene, not to investigate the case, because everyone knew that the dead soldiers who dared to assassinate the princess of the Tang Dynasty would definitely not leave any clues, but to protect the bodies of those companions, and then transport them back to Chang'an for burial after the follow-up troops arrived, which was the iron rule of the Tang army.

The corpses of the comrades were carefully lined up in the forest, and the corpses of the enemy were piled up in one place to be burned to ashes by a fire, and when dealing with the corpse of the middle-aged scholar in the green shirt, the cavalry was a little hesitant, they knew that this was a great swordsman, and they thought that they should give the other party's body corresponding respect.

Hua Shanyue groaned slightly, and decided to bury this great sword master, at this moment, Lu Qingchen whispered that this person has entered the demon path, Hua Shanyue heard the word demon dao, his face was slightly condensed, and when he looked at the corpse wrapped in green shirts, there was no respect, only disdain to hide disdain.

"Throw it in and burn it. ”

......

......

In the early morning, he drove out of the exit of the southern foot of Beishan Road, and met with the large army of Gushan County going north at noon, under the heavy protection of hundreds of elite cavalry, Li Yu, the fourth princess of the Tang Dynasty, and his party continued to march towards the capital Chang'an, and at this time, whether it was within the empire or external forces, it was no longer possible to assassinate Her Royal Highness the princess who had returned from afar.

In the next few days, Li Yu and the little prince of the barbarian tribe stayed in the carriage and did not appear in front of everyone, although there were hundreds of light horse guards, the surviving guards and grassland barbarians still ignored their injuries and insisted on riding horses to guard around the carriage, the old man Lu Qingchen was in the second carriage, the seriously injured guard barbarian was in the back few carriages, as for Ning Que and the little maid Sang Sang, they still sat in their own simple carriage, far behind.

In the border area of Gushan County, all the heavy horses have been replaced by light horses, and the speed of the team has suddenly become faster, and the sturdy carriages in front of them can still keep up, but the carriages of Ning Que's master and servant are struggling.

A cavalryman galloped up to their carriage and exclaimed, "You are too slow, speed up!"

Just like the spring breeze journey in the first few days after leaving Weicheng, Ning Que was sitting on the wheel and sleepy at this time, looking crumbling, looking like he might fall down at any time, all relying on Sang Sang to support him with great difficulty.

Hearing the cavalryman's annoyed scolding, Ning Que opened his eyes and glanced at him, smiled and didn't speak, with the temperament of a young man, he naturally wouldn't apologize for this, and it was too idiotic for him to apologize for something he couldn't do.

Looking at the back of the cavalryman, Sang Sang wiped the three or two beads of sweat on his forehead, squinted at the pair of willow leaves and said, "Young master, we seem to be disliked." ”

"The word disgust is used well, and if you use the words forgotten, it will seem too sour and complaining. ”

Ning Que glanced at the carriage at the front, thinking about Her Royal Highness the princess who had never shown her face again, and said with a smile: "For poor guys like us who are desperate to survive, any sour and sour commotion is disgusting. ”

That night sitting side by side with the princess by the fire and telling fairy tales, this kind of thing is impossible to happen whether it is in Chang'an or the grassland, that kind of picture is a real fairy tale, not real.

A small border city soldier saved a noble man by chance, and got the corresponding reward afterwards, and then the heavens and the earth never got along, this is the story in the real world.

There are heroic epics in this world, but there will be no fairy tales, and if Romee is not the son of a nobleman but a dung digger, presumably Juliet's psychological struggle will be much more intense when she dies for him.

Ning Que has always thought that he is very sober in his understanding of this kind of thing, and he knows that the side face of the girl by the fire is just a false image, and the most important thing is that he has never really been moved, but he has some appreciation for such a woman and such a moment, so there is no emotion in his heart.

......

......

After replenishing supplies in Gushan County, the team escorting the princess did not rest but continued all the way south, and it seemed that someone was really eager to return to Chang'an and return to his loving father.

That Huashan Yue Lieutenant should have also figured out Ning Que's background, knowing that he was just the most ordinary border city soldier, and he would not misunderstand what was really between him and the princess, so Ning Que was not subjected to any trouble.

Just at night, Sang Sang made a fragrant dinner, and the two of them ate happily, at this moment a man in a cloth shirt walked in, looked at the scene in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "I started to ask you to go over there to eat a big pot of rice, but you didn't do it, a few of us thought you were resentful in our hearts, and now it seems that you think our food is too poor, and there is such a capable little maid, I really don't know if it is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Such praise is actually a bit too much for a lowly maid, but Sang Sang didn't feel anything, smiled and continued to bury his head in eating, and Ning Que had a natural expression.

The man who walked in was the leader of the Tang Dynasty guards, his name was Peng Guotao, and he was deeply trusted by the princess. It's just that he took his subordinates to follow the princess deep into the grassland for a year, and when he returned to China, he encountered a series of bloody battles, and there were only seven loyal subordinates left, and his mood at this time must have been complicated and sentimental.

The two sides are comrades-in-arms who have lived and died together in Beishan Road, and the friendship poured out of blood is much more solid than that of ordinary interactions, and Ning Que's appearance in the battle made the guards very impressed, so the carriage that was disliked by the cavalry of Gushan County these days often welcomed Peng Guotao and the rest of the guards.

Those steppe barbarians had also brought spirits to Ning Que's master and servant, but they were rarely willing to get close to the land next to him, let alone talk to him, I don't know if it was because of the legend of Sobi Lake.

"I know that you have no problem going to the capital by yourself, and it is true that you are not too comfortable to go with the cavalry force, but after I reported your request, there has been no response. ”

Peng Guotao looked sorry and said, "You are a person sent by Weicheng, and if Your Highness doesn't speak, you can't leave." ”

Ning Que scratched his head and said, "Then let's follow it for a while." ”

......

......

The journey to Chang'an seemed to be going to pass without danger and boredom, but on the second night, Ning Que suddenly received an invitation from the second carriage, and the old man Lu Qingchen wanted to see him.

Some surprises and some joy, Ning Que twisted his brows and thought for a long time, and then decided not to think about anything, casually used the fish fillet porridge in the basin to burn out the fire next to the car, and walked forward with Sang Sang.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the dim lights were shining warmly, and Lu Qingchen, the teacher, looked at Ning Que and the little maid saluting respectfully to him, and was a little surprised, and secretly said that this young man should know why he called him to get on the bus, isn't he worried that he is unwilling to solve his doubts because there is a third person in him?

The old man suddenly remembered the past events he had heard by the fire at the North Mountain Road that night, which he couldn't help but want to hear even though he was meditating...... The story of the little boy and the little girl carrying the bow and arrows desperately surviving in the vast Minshan Mountain, thinking that he understood the reason why Ning Que took Sangsang, so he was relieved, and even looked at this young man more and more pleasing to the eye.

In fact, Ning Que didn't think too much about it, taking Sangsang was just a deep-rooted habit.

The old man clasped his hands on his knees and said gently, "You should know very well what I am looking for you for. ”

Ning Que was silent, pressed his left hand on the back of his right hand, then pressed on the floor in front of him, landed on his knees, leaned forward slowly, touched the back of his left hand with his forehead, and performed the heaviest salute of the empire.

There is a great grace before a great gift, although the old man Lu Qingchen has not done anything now, and it is very likely that the old man will not be able to help him, because it is a world that has always been accessible only to truly perverted geniuses, but only a person like Ning Que who has been reading the Taishang Induction Chapter since he was a child and thinking hard but has no way to do it knows what kind of mercy and bearing does a cultivator is willing to instruct an ordinary person who obviously has no potential.

Seeing that Ning Que made a big salute, although Sang Sang didn't understand the young master's actions very well, he quickly moved his knees to the old man's side and bowed down.

The old man Lu Qingchen looked at this scene, couldn't help but smile slightly, then helped Ning Que up, gathered his mind, closed his eyes, and put his dry palms on his chest and waist somewhere, and after a while, the warm melt oil light in the carriage became blurred for some reason, as if there were countless extremely fine gray particles flying in the light.

There was a dead silence.

The muddy oil light gradually became transparent and clear, the old man slowly withdrew his palm, quietly looked at Ning Que, whose face was calm and there was no expectation in his eyes, in fact, his hands were trembling slightly, and sighed softly.

"There is a breath between heaven and earth, and that breath is the so-called vitality, and the practitioner can perceive the existence of the vitality, and it is all based on the mind, so whether or not you can step into the realm of cultivation depends first of all on whether your mind can accumulate manifest qualities. ”

"I went to see you when I was in Weicheng to make sure that there was not the slightest breath fluctuation on your body, and today I carefully inspected your body and found that it was indeed the case, your snow-capped mountains and the sea of qi were empty. ”

“...... Nothing. ”
