The moon is cold, the cold wind outside Langya Pass is cold, and the northwest wind blows people's cheeks painfully, but the soldiers and civilians who have lived here for a long time have long been accustomed to this style and climate.

This place is the extreme north of the border of the Tianchen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, and it is also the coldest place in the entire border.

Every year from the end of October, the snow in Langya Pass begins to fall one after another, almost without stopping.

This is also the boundary where the most snowfall falls in the entire Southern Dynasty Tianchen, and if you walk a few hundred miles to the south, it will be rare to see clear snow.

Every time inside and outside Langya Pass enters the end of the month, this world seems to be a little colder.

Standing on the city wall of Langya Pass, looking up, outside the city wall is a piece of silver covered in depression.

Hundreds of miles further north, over a few mountain ranges, that is the territory of the Hanyong people of the Northern Dynasty.

Langya guarded Peng Xiao and gently exhaled a hot breath in his palm, and then put down his palm and looked at the sky outside the plug.

His cronie, Langya Guan Guoyi's lieutenant Peng Ying, was following him at this time.

Peng Ying sighed:

"Brother Xiao, you have been in Langya Pass for ten years, and you haven't even been back to Chongzhou in the past ten years.

Who would have thought that you would leave Langya Pass for the first time in so many years, and you would actually go to Zhaoge City to marry a wife. ”

Peng Ying's tone of voice was very casual, because he was not only Peng Xiao's cronies, but also his brother.

He is also the son of the Peng family, the largest family in Chongzhou, and strictly speaking, he should be Peng Xiao's cousin.

When Peng Xiao heard this, his heart was slightly stunned.

Oh, yes.

Before he knew it, he had been in Langya Pass for ten years.

He has changed from the thirteen-year-old half-grown boy to the general of the Southern Dynasty who is now enough to take charge on his own.

Peng Xiao sighed softly and said:

Yes, it was thanks to my uncle that I was able to worship under my teacher since I was a child, and at the age of thirteen, I came to Langya Pass in the north and south with him.

Now that years have passed, ten years of life and death are in vain, and the master is heroic in the sky, I have finally lived up to his old man's teachings. ”

Although Peng Xiao is now nominally the deputy general of Langya Pass, in fact, he is in charge of the military affairs inside and outside Langya Pass.

Because the main general is the county guard Yuan Qinghong of Xunyang County, the largest county next to Langya Pass.

Yuan Qinghong was originally a civilian official, and he also had to coordinate the military affairs of Xunyang County and Langya Pass, so Yuan Daren rarely interfered in the real military.

As for Peng Xiao, the nominal deputy general, he has always been the dominant position in the military of Langya Pass.

Although he is a deputy general, he is actually the responsibility of the lord's general.

Peng Xiao is a personal disciple of Xie Huanchen, the general of the Xie clan in Xunyang, who has been stationed at the border for generations and has made great contributions to the Southern Dynasties, and everyone is respected in the army.

When Peng Xiao was thirteen years old, he came to Langya Pass with his master Xie Huanchen.

Even if Xie Huanchen died on the battlefield later, he still did not leave this barren border pass, but still adhered to the will of his master, continued to stay on this battlefield of sword light and blood, and guarded the northernmost and most dangerous land of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty.

What kind of customs and customs are in his hometown Chongzhou in his memory, he has long since gradually forgotten it.

Only the wind and frost from Tianchen to the north are now the most familiar to him.

Peng Xiao also served in the border army all the year round, so that he was twenty-three years old and had not yet married.

Unexpectedly, after many years, the Son of Heaven would actually issue a decree to give marriage and appoint him as the concubine of the court.

Peng Ying said with a smile: "Langya Pass has been garrisoned by Brother Xiao for so many years, the wind and rain are smooth and peaceful, if General Xie has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely be proud of Brother Xiao." ”

Who knew that Peng Xiao shook his head slowly when he heard this, smiled frankly, and refused to take credit.

"The peace and tranquility of Langya Pass in the past few years is not my work, but the prestige of His Royal Highness Chitose and the High Priest of Nanxu has deterred the young people of the Quartet from acting recklessly and violating my borders.

It is also because hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Xie family army have been divided into pieces and scattered at the border gates in all directions of the country, never forgetting the original intention of protecting the country and serving the people.

And I, just one of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers, just do my duty. ”

Hearing this, Peng Ying naturally had no way to refute it.

Captain Guo Yi, who has just won the championship, came to Langya Pass when he was fifteen years old, and now he has only served in the army for five years, which is the lively young man's heart.

When Peng Ying heard Peng Xiao's words at this time, she immediately said with excitement and envy:

"Ahh Brother Xiao! You said that you entered Zhaoge this time, can you see the 'Chitose Sword Immortal'!

- You are a disciple of General Xie, and now you are going to Beijing to be the brother-in-law of the 'Chitose Sword Immortal', so close to each other, can you finally see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? ”

Peng Xiao was slightly stunned.

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head in disbelief.

I have heard that His Highness Chitose has been in retreat in the shrine of the Shrine for the past two years.

First, it is to pray for the country's stargazing, and secondly, it is also to stabilize the Dao heart and martial arts realm.

I'm afraid that if I am ordered to enter the capital this time, I may not be able to see Chitose. ”

Peng Ying's face was overjoyed when he heard this, he scratched his head, and said:

“…… That's right, after all, the 'Thousand Years Old Sword Immortal' had improved too rapidly in the martial arts realm in the early years, and it was always a little hurtful. ”

Peng Xiao sighed: "Yes, what's more, His Royal Highness Chitose's sword is a thousand-pound 'mountain, river, sun and moon', I'm afraid that under the hard work of practicing the sword over the years, it is inevitable that there will be some chronic old injuries."

A few years ago, the situation in the north and south and in the temple was unstable, and Chitose naturally couldn't calm down and stabilize the Dao heart.

Now that His Majesty can take charge on his own, and Handyong of the Northern Dynasty has been quite peaceful and honest in recent years, presumably His Royal Highness Chitose can finally retreat and recuperate. ”

He himself is a martial arts master in the Mahayana realm, so he naturally knows how hard it is for a young man to become famous.

In the eyes of the world, the martial arts masters are extremely talented, and all of them are the pride of the sky.

But if a person who practices martial arts, if he wants to break through the immortals and become the pinnacle of martial arts, who should not go through the wind, frost, snow and rain day after day and practice diligently?

The astonishing talent of the "Chitose Sword Immortal" who can win the throne of the world's first sword at the weak age of the "Thousand Years Old Sword Immortal" is naturally mixed with countless days and nights of hard work to make her look so effortless.

Although Peng Ying is still only in the Guanyu Xuan Realm, he also understands the difficulties of top martial arts masters.

He thought for a while and comforted his cousin: "Brother Xiao, but even if you don't see Chitose when you enter Beijing this time, it doesn't matter."

When you marry the eldest princess of An Ning in the coming day and take Her Royal Highness the princess out of Beijing, the 'Chitose Sword Immortal' will definitely appear!

Do you think, how rude was Concubine Bai Gui when she was a concubine in the palace and took charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace?

But even so, the eldest princess of Tianchen has never been implicated in the two princesses born by Concubine Baigui, isn't it.

Not only when the eldest princess of Taiping married the eldest son of the Minghe Bai clan under the big wedding that year, Chitose returned to Beijing to watch the ceremony; Even when His Majesty married the queen's mother, Bai Shi, she also personally returned to Zhaoge to observe the wedding. ”

Speaking of this, Peng Ying nodded heavily and exclaimed:

"A person like the 'Chitose Sword Immortal', even if he treats those sisters born from the Bai family's concubines, he still gives them a little bit of dignity and dignity, so as not to embarrass his sisters too much.

There is no reason to come to the eldest princess Anning, the younger sister who has always been polite, but not to watch the ceremony in person. ”

Peng Xiao shook his head with a smile when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness Chitose is the same dust as light, if conditions permit, naturally he will not neglect the eldest princess of Anning.

However, if Chitose is in retreat, I am afraid that such a trivial matter will not be disturbed by the high priest entering the shrine of the shrine and disturbing His Highness's Dao heart.

Therefore, if I can see Chitose, it will be a blessing for my generation, and if I can't, it will be fine. ”

Peng Ying thought about it and had to admit that her cousin's words were actually very reasonable.

The retreat of the martial arts master is the most dangerous, but I am afraid that the high priest of Nanxu may not interrupt the retreat of the "Chitose Sword Immortal" because of some "trivial matters" in Zhaoge City.

Ay.

It seems that Brother Xiao's time in Beijing is not very coincidental, but it's a pity

However, Peng Ying's young temperament, frustration came quickly, went faster, and soon regrouped and said with great interest:

"But Brother Xiao! Even if you can't see the demeanor of the 'No. 1 Sword in the World' this time, it's nothing, you will all be a family in the future!

Do you always want to take 'Mrs. Sister-in-law' back to Zhaoge to save your relatives? I'll see you sooner or later, hehe! ”

Peng Xiao frowned and smashed his fist on the shoulder, the force was not very heavy, but it was not light.

"What nonsense? Don't be disrespectful, what 'sister-in-law'? In the future, the eldest princess of An Ning will be called 'Her Royal Highness the eldest princess'. ”

Peng Ying bared her teeth and grinned, not daring to refute.

The world can only see the illustrious reverence of the horse master, but they don't understand the difficulty of the man who is still the lord after getting married.

They must treat their wives with respect and respect each other as if they were guests, otherwise it would be a great disrespect to the royal family.

Peng Ying was taught a lesson because she was too forgetful, so she had to admit her mistake:

"Knowing Brother Xiao, isn't Her Royal Highness the eldest princess here?

After you and His Royal Highness get married and return to Langya Pass together, I will be well-behaved and will not make a mistake in front of His Highness. ”

Speaking of this, Peng Ying remembered an extremely critical matter, and he was stunned:

"Huh? By the way, this is a day, Brother Xiao, aren't you about to leave for Beijing? ”

Peng Xiao bowed his head lightly when he heard this.

"Yes, I will leave the border for a while the day after tomorrow, and after that, you should pay more attention to all things in Langya, don't make your own decisions if you don't understand, and consult Lord Yuan and the generals in the army. It is half a month, and it is more than a month, and I will return. ”

Peng Ying nodded honestly, patted his chest and swore solemnly:

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao, after you leave, I will go to Lord Yuan's account to obey orders.

I'm just a fifth-grade lieutenant, how can I be presumptuous and make my own decisions? By the way, how many people are you going to bring into Beijing this time? ”

Peng Xiao frowned.

"I'm enough for one person. I am a military general, and it is not appropriate to bring any people with me when I enter Beijing, so as not to attract criticism. ”

Peng Ying also frowned subconsciously.

"Isn't there even a cup of tea and water along the way? If there's any danger—"

Peng Xiao smiled and said, "Even in Langya Pass, I don't need someone to serve me." What's more, where will there be any danger?

The further south you go, the smoother the official road becomes, if you can't even deal with some of the rogue Xiaoxiao on the road, I, the Langya guard, will stop as soon as possible, and how will I guard our Tianchen territory in the future. ”

Peng Ying thought about it, so she had no choice but to say:

"Okay, then I wish Brother Xiao a safe journey and a beautiful woman as soon as possible."

Peng Xiao chuckled lightly, ignoring his brother's jokes.

He just patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then turned and descended the wall.
