The moment the lotus lamp was held by him, the wind seemed to have eyes, and the center of the circle quietly condensed into a spiritual barrier, isolating the noisy voices around him.

"Xiao ......" He gently turned the wick and looked at the small words inside, waved his hand to Luo Qi, the respectful general of the White Tiger Legion beside him, and said with emotion, "General Luo, you think this should be a girl's name, right?" I heard that he is very good, and after only half a year of coming back, many matchmakers have come to the door to propose marriage, don't you already have a heart? That's going to disappoint and break the hearts of many young ladies! ”

Where did Luo Qi still have the heart to care about such an inconsequential thing, the man who was over half a hundred years old had a bitter face, his eyes and eyebrows were squeezed, only the slightly raised corners of his mouth remained as flattering as ever and smiled bitterly, and asked in a low voice: "Grand Commander, what does the Governor mean this time?" ”

This person has a feminine face, a smile with a charm that even a man will sink into, playfully stuck out his tongue at him, shook the lotus lamp in his hand and smiled: "Luo Qi, you are also a veteran of a hundred battles, the Governor's mind will not be guessed, right?" In the past few years, the crown prince has been working against the governor openly and secretly, especially in the matter of fighting for military power, I will not go around the bush with you, if Xiao Qianye succeeds in subduing the White Sect this time, then the position of the lord of the military pavilion is his, and you all have to come down when he goes up, weigh it yourself. ”

After that, he took out a thick stack of investigation reports from his arms and threw them over, pointing to the words on it with great interest and continued: "Xiao Qianye has only been back for half a year, and the crown prince asked him to go to the Eighth Hall of the Military Aircraft to participate in adaptive training, you can see for yourself this record, not only did he win all twenty-one battles of the three armies, but sixteen of them were won within ten moves, and the remaining five games did not exceed thirty moves, this kind of outstanding skill is absolutely unmatched in the whole territory of Feiyuan, right?" Hehe, the Governor also arranged for someone to secretly observe his weaknesses at first, and then directly refused to let his henchmen go up to compare with him, if he loses the throne of the pavilion master, he can't keep it. ”

Luo Qi was frightened into a cold sweat by his words in the ice and snow, and hurriedly looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more pale his face became - among the three armies of the empire, although the military pavilion in charge of the four realms and the forbidden army in charge of the imperial city were at odds with each other, but the two sides had been able to limit each other, until the balance of power gradually began to tilt after the ascendion to the throne of the Holy Lord, because Emperor Tianquan was originally the fourth son of the emperor, and he killed his father and brother to snatch the throne with the support of Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army. Since then, Gao Chengchuan has finally gained great power under one person and above ten thousand people!

But the former military cabinet master Xiao Lingyun is not a general, when he was repeatedly excluded and embattled, the cabinet lord who was well versed in the survival of officialdom had to make a compromise, he replaced half of the high-level generals in the cabinet, and gave this part of the seats to the royal relatives and nobles who also held power.

He Luo Qi entered the military pavilion in that kind of situation, and it was clear that the results of the trials in the Eighth Hall of the Military Aircraft were not ideal, but he still relied on his superior background to obtain the position of the general of the White Tiger Legion, although Jia Luo is a ghost place with an extremely harsh climate in the ice and snow, and the camp where the White Tiger is stationed is very close to the White Sect General Altar Qianji Palace, fortunately, the Tiangao Emperor is far away and he is happy to be idle alone, even if the top repeatedly sends troops to capture the White Sect, he only needs to pretend to act and retreat.

Until the Dark Commander under Governor Gao appeared in front of him in person, he didn't pay attention to this attack on the White Sect at all, the founder of the White Sect was the legendary Feng Ji, the head of the hundred spirits, and the sect leader and the Great Commander were all aliens with strong blood, and the defeat was reasonable, and he didn't care at all.

"General Luo, it's normal for a few people to die on the battlefield." Seeing that his face was tense, the Grand Commander just smiled quietly and leisurely, "General Luo will take a closer look at the content of this investigation report, although the sparring of the Eighth Hall of the Military Aircraft is a complete victory, but he has not been on the Eighth Hall of Law Cultivation, it is said that the reason he himself gave was that he had not practiced spells, and several main lecturers wanted to test it, but they were stopped by the crown prince again, and in the end, they really didn't let him play." ”

Luo Qi continued to look at it in disbelief, muttering to herself: "Maybe you want to hide your true strength?" ”

"If you really want to hide it, he won't win twenty-one games in a row, and he won't leave any affection for his opponent in a clean and neat manner, he is going to the position of the pavilion master, and in this way, he tells everyone that he is the best choice in that position." The Grand Commander snorted coldly and retorted, a cold and sharp smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "But the most powerful thing in the White Sect is all kinds of dangerous spells, blood spells, bone spells, insect control techniques, and soul splitting Dafa, each of which can be defeated by one against a hundred, plus the blessing of foreign blood, it is reasonable for him to have no return, right?" ”

Luo Qi smiled awkwardly, and said tremblingly: "Great Commander, no matter what he says, he is the second son of Tianzheng Mansion!" If he dies in the White Cult...... I can't afford it. ”

"The Heavenly Expedition Mansion has been destroyed." The man answered calmly, every word was like a gravel smashed into the backwater, "Today's Tianzheng Mansion is just the end of the crossbow, Xiao Yibai dropped out of the imperial capital a long time ago, and he has not been concerned about power for so many years, this kind of thing will not come back if he misses it, he has no chance to get involved in the high-level power, and now the Tianzheng Mansion wants to turn the tables and can only rely on Xiao Qianye to get back the position of the military pavilion master, they must win the battle of the White Sect, the governor said that they must not be allowed to succeed this time, otherwise the initiative will fall into the hands of the crown prince, You can't eat and walk around. ”

"Great Commander, although Xiao Yibai is not interested in his official position, the relationship between him, him and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ...... It's a bit unusual. Luo Qi wiped the sweat from her forehead, obviously disagreeing with such a statement.

The man smiled mockingly, revealing a subtle demeanor full of interest: "There were rumors in the imperial capital a few years ago that the crown prince seemed to have some unspeakable quirks, and the object of this scandal on the cusp of the storm was none other than Xiao Yibai, the eldest prince of Tianzheng Mansion. Not long ago, he was still teasing me, asking me if Xiao Yibai died, would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really be sad? ”

Luo Qi's face was terrifyingly pale, and the hand that grabbed the paper trembled violently: "Lord Governor means ......"

The commander put the lotus lamp in his hand back into the glacier, and there were thousands of lotus-shaped lamps floating on the river, reflecting the sparkling water surface, as if he could really send lovesickness and blessings to another world, but this person's eyes were like a dark night without the slightest light, and his tone gradually took on a murderous aura: "Death of one is death, death of two is also death, the death of a soldier on the battlefield is glory, and the country and the people will remember their sacrifice." ”

Luo Qi's heart was pounding, and when he reacted to the murderous intent hidden behind this sentence, the man in ink had already moved in front of him like a ghost, took out a small wooden box from his arms and stuffed it to him, and smiled again: "This is a gift from the Governor to General Luo, and it is two fire beads." ”

"Away from the fire beads?" Luo Qi was flattered to take it, and as soon as he opened it, he felt a faint warmth wandering through his body, making him close his eyes comfortably on the bone-chilling snowfield and take a deep breath, but in the next second, he understood that this must not be a gift to himself, and he couldn't understand what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he had to cover up the past in embarrassment, and asked in a low voice, "The fire bead is a wonderful fairy grass raised by the rock snake clan in Yudu, and the core of it is called after it blooms and bears fruit." Away from the fire beads', wearing it on the body can resist the cold, but this thing has a long growth cycle, and the yield is not high, one can only maintain a temperature of about a year, so it has not been officially put into armament, I haven't used it for several years, why did the governor suddenly send me this treasure over? ”

Before the words fell, he heard a shameful laugh, and the Grand Commander raised his hand and pointed at his forehead, his cold fingers seemed to be able to poke directly into his heart, and he shook his head and sighed: "It's really a shame that Emperor Jia Luo Tiangao has been able to let such a 'kind' person as General Luo sit back and relax for so long, right?" Then I'll say it bluntly, these are two fire beads that have been manipulated, and the core contains the newly developed poison of the dark department, you go and send it to the two brothers of the Tianzheng Mansion, as long as they urge the internal force, the poison will not be saved. ”

"I'll send it?" Luo Qi's eyes widened and he swallowed nervously, the smile of the Grand Commander was a little vicious, and the words in his mouth were spit out one by one and scattered into the cold wind, nodding without the slightest hesitation, "If you don't send it, will you let the Governor personally send it?" ”

"But......" Luo Qi looked at him for a moment, and a man over half a hundred years old suddenly had irrepressible tears flashing in his eyes, and said incoherently, "Great Commander, they are the people of the crown prince!" If something happens to find out and blame me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let me go! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't let you go, so will the Governor let you go? I can't afford to offend anyway, so it's better to pick a good speech to offend, maybe I can pick up a life? The Grand Commander had a hippie smile on his lips, his eyes were even more aggressive, and he reminded without hurrying, "Although General Luo is in the military pavilion, he has taken a lot of benefits from the Governor over the years, right?" If you turn your elbow out, you'll have your entire arm torn off. ”

Luo Qi stayed in place, and the commander looked at this man who had been scared out of half of his soul with interest, and finally muttered and added: "General Luo rest assured, the Governor also knows that the crown prince is not easy to deal with, so this time in addition to me, I specially arranged for others to come over to help you, in addition, the first brigade of the forbidden army in the imperial capital vacated a seat last month and was worried that there was no suitable person to take over, no matter how high the emperor is far away, after all, the climate is cold and the materials are scarce, it is better to go back to the imperial capital city to retire comfortably, hehe, that's all I say, Think about it. ”

Luo Qi's heart moved, and when he came back to his senses, there was no longer that person in front of him.

The Great Commander of the Shadows walked down the glacier, the wind still surrounding him forming an invisible barrier, as if he had been touched by distant memories, he suddenly paused and glanced in the direction of the Thousand Machines Palace of the General Altar - almost thirty years, right? When he was ordered to infiltrate the White Sect, he not only found out the terrain map and the distribution of disciples, but also successfully stole one of the four forbidden arts, the "Soul Splitting Dafa", which he still clearly remembers the grass, trees, bricks, and tiles there, as well as ...... Heart-wrenching despair.

He is a rare alien whose bloodline is comparable to the current Flying Shadow Sect Master, but he was exterminated since he was a child, and was arrested and reduced to slavery before he formed a complete memory, and his special bloodline made his body stronger after experiencing a long period of drug destruction by humans, and I don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, he was fished out of death row by Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army, and brought into the shadows, he didn't have his own name, and some were just a cold number code "thirty-three", until he successfully infiltrated the White Sect and made great contributions to Governor Gao. It was only the killers who also hid in the darkness that they could not see him that they began to call him "the Great Commander".

Perhaps because his bloodline was affected by drugs, he didn't make the Lotus Shrine have any reaction thirty years ago, and I don't know if it was because of this reason, he didn't see the legendary head of the hundred spirits, Feng Ji, in the end.

Thirty years ago, the White Sect did not have a deviant sect leader like King Garan, and naturally it did not have the cursed eyes on the top of the Thousand Machines Palace now.

"May I never turn a blind eye after I die, and see when the sect leader will regret it, and see when the white sect will die...... Hehe, interesting. The man whispered these words, and a subtle expectation flashed in his sharp smile—he was actually expecting Xiao Qianye to step on the White Sect, the sacred and inviolable Divine Sect that stood in the hearts of foreign peoples, and also the deepest part of his heart...... The infinitely expanding tumor.

Then the indifferent smile on his lips disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly looked down at the mottled lotus halo on the glacier, obviously there was some strange sadness and pain in his expression, but the light in his eyes brought a kind of bitter viciousness, he looked at his own amazing face that had been transformed on the water, pulled the corners of his mouth and hooked a temperatureless arc, and his fingertips hooked out a touch of spiritual power into the water, with the silent light closing of his lips and teeth, this holy river that flowed through the snowfield and would not freeze suddenly faintly flashed a trace of dangerous color.

At this time, Xiao Yibai was strolling along the river with his younger brother for a long time, the night was getting deeper, but the crowd was more crowded, I really didn't expect that a festival that originated in the Central Plains would be greatly sought after by the people of Jialuo after flowing into Feiyuan, Xiao Yibai painted and talked all the way, but Xiao Qianye always looked restless, and turned his head from time to time to look at the lotus lantern floating down the river, as if his heart was also unconsciously far away.

He jumped a step and stood in front of his brother, tilted his head, put a finger to his lips, and asked maliciously, "What are you thinking?" You looked like you couldn't give up all night, let me guess...... Are you thinking about the girl you like? ”

"Nope." Xiao Qianye retorted in a low voice, and a smiling face shook uncontrollably in front of him, making his already unable to concentrate mind disperse again, Xiao Yibai deliberately came to him, and his tone had a slight meaning: "The love is across the mountains and seas, take the initiative to find someone else?" ”

"Not really!" Although his cheeks were flushed by one sentence, Xiao Qianye still stubbornly defended a few words, but there was a touch of loss in his eyes.

It has been more than half a year since he went home, but he has not received any letters from Kunlun Mountain, and whenever he wants to take the initiative to put pen to paper, he will be terminated by all kinds of concerns.

A year before he decided to go to Kunlun Mountain, he was sent by his father to his friend and Admiral Bailifeng to exercise, and the seven-year-old child sat on the deck bored, looking at the unchanged blue sky and white clouds around him, and suddenly, something passed lightly by the side of the ship, and a man stepped on a sword against the current and killed a sea devil! Before the stunned child could realize what it was, the long sword swept into the clouds like lightning, and the dreamy figure disappeared from his field of vision.

"What's that?" Curious, he pointed to the sky that had returned to calm, and turned his head to ask the marshal who was napping with half-squinted eyes beside him, Baili Feng was used to seeing it and said, "It should be the sword immortal of Kunlun Mountain in the Central Plains, if our ship crosses the Biluo Sea, it will enter the Central Plains region, as for Kunlun...... I don't know where it is, it is said to be a fairy mountain, very high, ordinary people can't go up when they arrive, the one just now is a sword fairy, you can fly up directly by stepping on the sword! ”

"Fly?" His heart was pounding, Baili Feng didn't notice the bright luster in the child's eyes, and nodded, "Our bluebird can also fly, but it's not that fast, of course, no one flies high, and it takes a lot of time and energy to raise bluebirds, if you want to be a sword spirit, at least you don't need to feed it, right?" Hahahaha, that's a lot of money! ”

Baili Feng caressed Su and muttered to himself, while he gritted his teeth at the end of the sea, a seven-year-old child, silently planning his future in his heart.

A year later, he told his family that he was going to Kunlun Mountain, and then of course he was opposed, in addition to Feiyuan is a closed sea country, Yun Qiushui, one of the main culprits in the Shenyue theft case, is also his father's biggest concern, fortunately he has a mother who spoils him, and finally persuaded his father to agree to his request, he came to the majestic snow-capped mountain as he wished, and was accepted as a disciple by the master, and began ten years of practice.

Yun Qiushui is his uncle, although she didn't say a word about Feiyuan's past, but she didn't have the slightest problem with this child who came from Feiyuan, and has always taken care of his daily life, her only daughter Yunxiao, later became her own little sister.

After so many years in Kunlun Mountain, he never felt that the Shenyue theft case was an extremely serious matter, until he came back this time, a full half a year had passed, and the little junior sister who followed him like a shadow had evaporated from the world and did not write a letter to him.

It should have been stopped by Uncle Shi, right? Since Uncle Qiushui once served as the chief secretary of the White Sect, she should know what kind of country Feiyuan is in a country where class contradictions are on the verge of breaking out, and not letting her daughter get involved is something that every mother will do.

Once such a thought appeared in his mind, he silently put down the pen and paper in his hand again and again, maybe for A Xiao, he was only suitable to be a temporary guest in her life.

On the third day of his return, he was summoned by the emperor, and bluntly inquired about Shen Yue's whereabouts, and after not receiving a satisfactory answer, he obviously saw a touch of irritability in the emperor's eyes, but fortunately, the crown prince quietly helped him out of the siege, and no one asked him about the relevant things.

Xiao Qianye shook his head in disappointment, Xiao Yibai saw that he looked worried, and when he wanted to tease a few more words, he caught a glimpse of Binghe provoking a small wave, and he looked over again with puzzled eyes, but this time he didn't see anything.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qianye followed the eldest brother's gaze and looked together, without waiting for Xiao Yibai to answer, the two saw a familiar figure trotting over at the same time, Luo Qi waved his arms and greeted politely: "Two sons!" What a coincidence to meet you here! ”

The brothers exchanged glances in tacit understanding, knowing with their toes that this could not be a chance encounter.

Luo Qi wiped the sweat from her palms, smiled skillfully, and after a few words of greeting, she finally gritted her teeth and took out the box containing the fire beads from her arms and handed it over: "The climate in the snow field is cold, and the two sons must be very uncomfortable when they first arrive, right?" Come and take it, this is a fire bead, you can keep warm from the cold with it, but don't freeze. ”

Although he didn't have a good impression of this inactive White Tiger Legion general, Xiao Qianye remembered what his eldest brother reminded him before, so this time he smiled kindly and stretched out his hand to take it, and asked tentatively, "Is General Luo also here to see the Snow Lake Festival?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm here to survey the terrain, and I'm going to go back." Luo Qi hurriedly shook his head, for fear that he would lose his words, so he immediately found a reason to smear oil on the soles of his feet and slip away.

Xiao Yibai held back a smile and looked at the fast figure that didn't run back with his head, and said jokingly: "Although this guy has average skills, he is very sleek in dealing with people, and the fire bead is the product of the four realms of Yudu, growing in the depths of the Charm Mountain, one of the seven forbidden places, and the people of the Rock Snake Clan guarding day and night, although it can keep warm from the cold, but it is too difficult to obtain and has not been invested in large-scale armaments, he will be a man, this rare treasure is not used by himself, and he will send it to you directly." ”

"I'm not afraid of the cold." Xiao Qianye stuffed the two fire beads to him with his backhand, "It's that you are wrapped in so many clothes inside and outside, what have you been doing all these years, is your body so weak?" ”

"It's a snowy field! Running around in a single clothes like you is a brain disease, okay? Xiao Yibai justifiably defended himself, and before the two of them could say anything, the splash jumping on the glacier just now suddenly set off a huge wave, and when everyone was in an uproar, it was actually a Snow Yaksha who jumped out of the bottom of the river with bared teeth!
