The Tang army in Dongshengzhai actually watched their military exploits being snatched away by the Xiling Guardian Cavalry, and apart from scolding a few words, they didn't even draw their knives to chase the other party to the point of? He was puzzled and couldn't help but be indignant, and after a while his mood calmed down, thinking that far away from Tuyang City, it would not be an exaggeration for the Tang army generals to keep a low profile and be conservative.

He shook his head, looked at the wasteland in the distance of the lake and said, "If I lead the troops into the wasteland to collect firewood, and those god stick thugs in Xiling dare to come and grab firewood, you see how I clean them up." ”

Situ Yilan didn't say anything, and walked slowly along the lakeside with her hands behind her back beside him, when suddenly she stopped, turned to look at him and said, "A letter from Chang'an's family said that she wanted to arrange family affairs for me.

The slightly cold weather made the breath spit out of the girl's lips quickly turn into white mist, adding a little beauty to her refreshing face, Ning Que looked at the mist in front of her and the girl's face, and asked for a moment: "Then?"

Situ Yilan shook his head, turned around and continued to walk along the lakeside, and said, "I don't want to marry." ”

Hearing her reply, Ning Que's mood became a little lighter, and suddenly became a little heavier, and he felt a little uncertain about finding the direction inexplicably, he looked at the girl's back and said, "This kind of thing should indeed be cautious." ”

Situ Yilan didn't look back, and said with a smile: "I heard that many ministers in Chang'an City want to recruit you as a son-in-law. ”

With Ning Que's current reputation in Chang'an City, not to mention the glory of the master's personal discipleship, just saying that His Majesty's appreciation and love for him was enough for countless courtiers to start thinking about selling their daughters and granddaughters to him.

Ning Que smiled and said, "General Yun Lu wouldn't have such a meaning in the future. ”

Situ Yilan glanced back at him and said, "Father knows that I am familiar with you, and I really had this idea. "Daybreak update group Xiaoyi starts.

Ning Que felt that his cheeks were a little hot, and he subconsciously touched it, not knowing how to answer.

Situ Yilan stepped on the white cobblestone by the lake with his hands behind his back and continued, saying, "But I didn't agree. ”

Ning Que looked at the black braids that were shaking behind the girl in light armor, and after a moment of silence, he finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and the certain affection that could not be declared, and asked, "Why...... What?"

"Hehe, because I don't want to get married. ”

The girl's answer was very concise and powerful, and the crisp laughter woke up the thin ice film on the surface of the lake: "Over the years, there have been no female generals in the empire, and I want to be a female general, so where is the time to want to marry such a thing." Just read the novel~"

Ning Que listened to her confide in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, kicked a white stone with a strange shape in front of his boots into the lake, and said, "I'm dedicated to cultivating, and I don't have time to think about these things. ”

Situ Yilan turned around, watched the stone that smashed the thin ice slowly sink to the bottom of the lake, and after a moment of silence, smiled heartily, looked at him and asked, "If you have time to think about it, what kind of woman do you like?"

Listening to this question, Ning Que couldn't help but think of the conversation with Chen Pipi in the mountains behind the academy, and after thinking for a long time, he rubbed his chin and said seriously: "I like beautiful girls, with white skin, red and phoenix eyes, a little red lips, the best plump body, and it is best to be smart in terms of temperament, don't keep me thinking about things." ”

Situ Yilan looked at him and shook his head, and sighed: "Your requirements are really not high, and the ideas of most men in the world are similar, no matter how you look at it, you can't see some new ideas." ”

Life is a very uninspiring thing, whether in Chang'an City or in the Yanbei Wasteland, what is the essential difference between climbing the building every day and wandering around every day?

The students of the academy who practiced in Dongsheng Village had their own combat missions, and it was impossible to accompany Ning Que to visit the village every day to eat, drink and chat, so he had to go to the village alone to eat and drink and chat with himself, which was monotonous and boring to the extreme.

After a few days, he finally couldn't bear such a boring life anymore, so he secretly took out the big black horse, avoided the sight of the dozens of inseparable cavalry, and walked out of the walled city to the blue lake to relax.

There were no more dozens of cavalry not far behind him as the second sun, Ning Que walked a little farther today, ran two or three miles east along the Bihu Lake, and stopped at a quiet lakeside.

He unloaded the heavy bag from the big black horse and slapped it hard on the buttocks.

The big black horse rarely had such a good time to relax and relax, and with a roar of joy, splashed with black mud and rushed towards the lake, and then retreated to the shore of the lake with a roar of anger.

It trembled slightly, purring its thick tongue and rumbling its lips, obviously frozen by the cold water, and the taste of salty water was really bad.

"I've never seen you so careless about your war horse. ”

Ning Que looked at it with a smile, pointed to the Mengmeng Mountains and Forests not far away, and said: "Idiot, there is a lake and naturally a tributary, run over there by yourself, see if there is any water to drink, stay for a while and come back early." ”

The big black horse shook his horse's head in dissatisfaction, kicked his hind hooves, shook off the icy lake water on his body, and ran in the direction he pointed. om

Ning Que built an earthen stove, boiled a pot of fresh vegetable soup, smelled the rising fragrance, and sat down on the shore of the quiet and uninhabited lake, now there is no Sang Sang by his side to serve himself, he has to serve himself, fortunately, when Sang Sang was young, the two of them needed him to cook, and his skills were still skilled, and he never forgot jì.

In the north of the wasteland, especially in the middle of the Central Plains and the prairie, the northwest wind blows all year round, and it is very cold. He was wearing a thick cotton jacket and a black windshield shirt, and he sat by the lake like this, not knowing if it was the bowl of warm vegetable soup that worked, or if he had gained something from his cultivation, but he didn't feel too cold.

The shallow part of the lake near the shore is very transparent, and you can clearly see the white stones and trees that have fallen for hundreds of millions of years at the bottom, and the lake becomes more and more blue in the distance, surrounded by mountains and low cliffs on both sides, slender and long, with no end in sight, and stretches to the depths of the wilderness in the far north.

Ning Que sat on the stone and looked at the beautiful lake scenery in front of him, thinking that yesterday he felt that this blue lake was like a waist, which was really indecent, in fact, it should be a woman's weak waist that is less than a hand.

The gently swaying water of the lake is like a blue jewel about to melt, turning the thin ice that has been condensed by the cold air...... Pushing one piece at a time to the lakeshore, some gradually dissolving, others overlapping each other, and it is believed that as the winter becomes thicker, the thin ice will eventually turn into thick and hard ice.

Looking at the thin ice that fluctuated with the waves of the lake, Ning Que thought of the legendary people who stood under the ice, and remembered the things he talked about when he and Situ Yilan were walking by the lake a few days ago, and his face couldn't help but show self-deprecation. Daybreak Update Group Xiaoyi starts.

When people in the world reach a certain age, they always have to consider the marriage of men and women, he has never seriously considered it before, and he really did not have any wrong thoughts about Situ, but when he heard that Situ refused General Yunlu, he still felt a little unhappy. When he was at the Beishan Road Pass last spring, he also had this kind of affection, and at that time he knew very well that there was absolutely no possibility between himself and Her Royal Highness Li Yu, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but when Li Za left from his shoulder and slowly stood up to restore his graceful appearance, there were still a lot of indescribable feelings in his heart.

Filling a ladle of lake water, extinguishing the remaining flames in the stone stove, he sat down on the shore of the lake again, looked at the thin ice that was not like glass but more like hippie, and said to himself with a slight mockery: "I forgot who said that there are only two kinds of women in the world, their own and others', are men like this?" (...... This sentence was said by Yanagishita)

However, he had been educating Sangsang to remind himself that anyone who talked about feelings, especially love, was an idiot, so it didn't take long for him to be immersed in this self-deprecation, and he was awakened by the terrifying prospect that he might become an idiot, and began to take advantage of things that he now thought were more meaningful.

It has been more than a month since he came to the Yanbei Wasteland, and he has never seen Xiahou, so naturally there is no way to go to see him on behalf of His Majesty, although Tuyang City is close, he is really not sure whether he should go or not, and he doesn't know what problems will arise when he meets Xiahou now. And on the wasteland, although sporadic battles have been happening, but the upper echelons of the Yan Army know his identity and send dozens of elites to protect him, and he can't kill a few battles to his heart's content, is time going on like this?

As a young man who survived with great difficulty and is getting better and better, Ning Que knew very well what he relied on to do this, so he would not allow himself to waste too much time, thinking about meaningless things like men and women by the lake, thinking about things like Xiahou that were meaningful but couldn't be helped, and then began to meditate and practice.

The cold wind blew from the surface of the lake, blowing the thin ice piled up on the shore, blowing the eyelashes on his closed eyes, and a slender Pu knife resting on his lap, as the meditation deepened, the invisible heaven and earth vitality gradually gathered beside him, and then gently and softly covered the blade.

The simple rune lines carved on the knife seemed to sense something, and the shadows caused by the natural light suddenly became deeper than the previous moment, and then began to hum and vibrate strangely.

A leaf of withered grass that was swept up by the lake wind from nowhere, just fell on the surface of the knife and was bounced into the air, and was instantly torn into hundreds of extremely thin grass strands by that invisible force, and then fell into the lake and disappeared.

The Pu knife on his lap was shaking slightly, and the clear water between the white cobblestones on the lakeside in front of him was also shaking slightly, and the thin ice that seemed to be fragile but was actually soft and sticky gradually shattered, and spread out aimlessly along the lake, reflecting the sky, as if dozens of identical characters appeared. Daybreak Update Group Xiaoyi starts.

The big black umbrella, wrapped tightly in coarse cloth, lay silently beside him.

I don't know how long it took, Ning Que finished meditating, looked at the broken ice cubes between the white cobblestones in front of him, and knew that he would not stay in the Confusion Realm for too long, and had already begun to approach the Cave Xuan Realm.

At the beginning, he realized the Tao on the Vermilion Bird Avenue, and then quickly broke through the second realm of the initial realm of perception, and directly entered the confusion, even he didn't know how to do it, so now he didn't have any understanding of the cultivation of the realm at all, and at this time, he felt that he was about to break through the realm, but he didn't know what to do.

He was a little confused and said, "Do you want to go to Tuyang City to send rune letters to the senior brothers of the academy for advice?"

Thinking like this, he suddenly noticed more and more thin ice piles in front of him, and looked into the distance in front of his right, only to see that many thin pieces of ice that shimmered like mirrors were slowly flowing over.

After living in the wilderness of Gangshan for so many years, he is very familiar with the wild lake, just a few glances, he knows that there must be a hidden current in the lake, and will push these thin ice over, but this piece of blue sea like a beauty's waist, looking at the calm waves, where does the hidden current come from?

Knowing that no barbarians dared to come to this lakeside mountain forest, and there should be no safety problems, he suddenly thought of the idea of exploring the secluded, stood up, put on his heavy bag, and went up the river along the thin ice like a small mirror.

Swimming against the current, is there a beautiful woman on the other side of the water?

After walking along the shore of the lake for about a few miles, I could faintly see that there was a water current in front of me that was impacting the peaceful surface of the lake like a jewel, knocking out countless beautiful small whirlpools, but the dense forest next to the billet was thick, although the branches and leaves had already fallen, but it still covered the movement behind the forest, and the stream could not be seen.

Ning Que knew that it was the peach source he was looking for, smelling the faint smell of sulfur coming from his nose, and guessing that there might be a hot spring there, he couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, a touch of jade white came into his eyes, and then a touch of blue flashed, like this lake.

Ning Que's eyes suddenly gave birth to a look of vigilance, not because of the blue color that was deeply reflected in his eyes, but for other reasons, he pulled his bow and arrow like lightning, aimed at a certain place in the dense forest, and said in a deep voice: "Come out." ”

There was a sound in the forest, and more than a dozen young people walked out slowly, some people also aimed at Ning Que with bows and arrows, and more people looked at him vigilantly, holding the sheath in his left hand and the long sword hilt outside the sheath in his right hand.

Ning Que didn't pay attention to the sharp feather arrow aimed at him at all, but calmly aimed at the youngest girl among these young people, the boxwood hardwood bow in his hand was as steady as a mountain, the string was as tight as the moon, and the feather arrow was as quiet as a lake stone, but it gave people a feeling that as long as he was willing, the quiet feather arrow on the string would definitely shoot through the girl's chest in the next moment.

This feeling was so strong that the nervous expressions of the teenagers who were aiming at Ning Que stiffened, and the hands holding the slender hilt of the sword turned slightly white, as for the young girl who was targeted by Ning Que's bow and arrow, her face was even pale, and her slightly bulging chest fluctuated violently.

A young man bravely jumped in front of the young girl, bent his left knee forward, took a forward arrow step, grasped the scabbard with his left hand, his thumb faintly pressed against the ebony sword, and his right elbow was bent back and raised his wrist.

Ning Que looked at the posture of the young man holding the sword, and then glanced at the clothes and ornaments on these young boys and girls, guessed where they came from, and his mood relaxed a little.

He looked at the young man with the sword and said with a smile, "The slashing arrow style is useless against my arrows." ”

The young man was despised by the enemy, and his face suddenly became angry.

"I'm a Tang man. ”

Ning Que said where he came from, then put down the boxwood hard bow in his hand, didn't look at these young people who were looking at him nervously, and took the feather arrow back into the quiver by himself.

Since he guessed the origin of this group of young boys and girls, he knew that there would be no problem, but because the other party obviously had no combat experience, he put down his weapon first, so that the other party would not make a mistake because of nervousness.

Sure enough, hearing that he was a Tang person, the expressions on the faces of the young boys and girls who had been vigilant a moment ago suddenly became relaxed, and they put down their bows and arrows and let go of the hilt of their swords.
