Chapter 376: Sword in the Snow

Xu Huanzhi walked out of the dark cave, walked past the wide stone lawn of Hongming Academy, passed through the library pavilion without entering, and did not even cast half a glance at the old man on the rattan chair.

For him, it no longer makes sense to enter the library or not.

The direction that Xu Huanzhi looked at for the last time was Baicao Courtyard, but unfortunately, he knew that Lu Yu would definitely stay there, so he couldn't go.

Sighing softly, Xu Huanzhi's gaze became calm again, calm and unfazed, and then he put his hands behind his back and walked from the top of Shenmu Mountain to the front of the academy mountain gate.

It's like an ordinary old man taking a leisurely walk.

Just like the moment he broke into the mountain.

There, there were a group of teaching academicians waiting for him, and Bai Jianqiu was also waiting for him.

Not to welcome him, but to see the result with my own eyes.

Zhu Xi, a bachelor farther away, also saw Xu Huan's figure descending the mountain, so he rode his horse and whipped up, and without looking back, he rushed to Huizhou Mansion.

The army of the Holy Inquisition's Courtyard can be pulled out!

The scene when Xu Huanzhi walked down Shenmu Mountain was seen by many people, and then spread to all parties at the fastest speed.

The Yicheng Imperial Palace received the news, the Horse Mansion received the news, the Tang family compound received the news, and the little marquis of Cangzhou Mansion also received the news.

So the entire Weiguo was like a sleeping giant beast, and suddenly opened its eyes.

Overnight, the entire patriotic country became solemn and quiet, and in the cold and awe-inspiring snow, the courtyard army assembled by the towns and prefectures of the Holy Inquisition officially advanced from the Huizhou Mansion to Bishui Pass.

The Xu family's private army also left Cangzhou Mansion immediately. However, compared to the actions of the Holy Inquisition, the Xu family seemed to have deliberately slowed down the pace and lagged far behind. Not in a hurry.

In addition, there is also an iron-blooded army that is quietly leaving from the Yumen Pass of Liangzhou Mansion and waving its army south.

Weining Army!

The three major border passes of the country, Bishui Pass, Shubei Pass, and Yumen Pass, similarly, naturally have three large armies stationed at the border passes all year round. To defend the country, it is the Zhennan Army, the Rongbei Army, and the last one. Weining Army.

Among them, although the Zhennan Army is known as a winning army, if it really talks about the overall strength, among the three armies, the strongest must be the Weining Army!

Because Bishui Pass is guarding against the invasion of other countries of the human race. And the Jade Gate Pass resisted. But it's the Eastern Kraken!

The war of the races, and the civil war of the Terrans, are two completely different concepts.

Over the years, the Weining Army has the largest number of casualties, and the Weining Army has been attacked by the enemy the most times, but at the same time, the equipment and weapons of the Weining Army are the best in the entire country, and the quality and strength of the soldiers are also the strongest among all armies!

And now. In the face of the wolf ambition of the Canglan Emperor, the troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance are in danger under the city. Emperor Wei actually transferred eighty percent of the Weining Army's military strength out of Yumen Pass!

Is he crazy? Isn't he afraid that the Eastern Regions Kraken will take advantage of the situation and go straight to the national capital!

In the entire Weining Army, no one understood what Emperor Wei thought, but no one made a questioning voice, and the entire army was like an iron plate, and only one person's voice would appear in it.

That's General Weining, Xu Zhan!

As long as Xu Zhan thinks that Emperor Wei's decision is right, then Emperor Wei is right!

As long as Xu Zhan and Emperor Wei work together, the Weining Army will never be chaotic!

At this time, General Weining was at the forefront, and the scar on his face looked more and more scarlet in the bleak wind and snow, but unlike when he was in person in the past, beside him, there was a young man with smiling eyebrows.

"Dad, you said that we went to Huizhou Mansion this time, can we meet Brother Liangshan?"

Xu Zhan didn't answer, just nodded silently, looking at the gray sky in the south, not knowing what he was thinking......

......

The reinforcements from all walks of life that he had been waiting for were finally coming, but what he was looking forward to the most was not the Imperial Court Protector Army, nor could it be the Xu family's private army, or even the Weining Army that had come from thousands of miles.

What he was looking forward to the most was the power from Shenmu Mountain and Hongming Academy.

Because this is an era of the supremacy of literature and Taoism, and Hongming Academy represents the most backbone of the defense of the country!

Whether it is Poor Zhu or Xu Zhan, even if he is the commander of an army, his literary position is only an imperial book, but in Hongming Academy, there are hundreds of teachers with a similar literary rank to them!

Not to mention, now the academicians of the nine branches have dignified qualifications, plus several honorary professors with bachelor's degrees and bachelor's degrees, and don't forget, in addition to Lu Sanjiao and Bai Jianqiu, the other five demi-saints of the country are all from Hongming Academy!

Academies are the foundation and foundation of a country!

Only with the full support of Hongming Academy can this battle be fought!

And at the same time that Zhu Xi, the head of the Holy Inquisition, left, Bai Jianqiu also led the academicians of the academy to walk out of the gate of the white jade mountain and descend the mountain.

Of course, Xu Huanzhi also wanted to rush to Bishui Pass, after all, this was the only reason why Lu Yu let him go, but until Bai Jianqiu's figure disappeared into the snow, Xu Huanzhi did not move.

He walked down the nine hundred and eight bluestone steps, came to the grass house, and pushed the door in.

The grass house was built by Xu Huanzhi half a year ago, but during this period, only five people walked in.

Except for Xu Huanzhi and Ning Bingqing who lived in it for a short time, the flower saint Wang Hao came to visit, and later Su Wen also went in for a while.

But even now, half a year later, this grass house has not been demolished by the state capital, but has gradually become a new scenery in front of Shenmu Mountain, for those students and literati who come from afar to see.

Xu Huanzhi looked down at the spotless hay on the ground, as well as the extra wooden bed, and the wooden table and bench in the middle of the room, slightly surprised.

At this moment, a slight sound came from behind Xu Huanzhi, and a young man in coarse linen clothes, holding a futon in his hand, appeared in front of Xu Huanzhi's eyes.

Seeing Xu Huanzhi, a trace of panic flashed in the young man's eyes, but he was quickly forced down, he first bowed slightly towards Xu Huanzhi, and then walked into the grass house with the futon in his arms, and put it on the wooden bed, then turned around, bowed down and said, "The student has seen Lord Zhenguo." ”

Xu Huanzhi is a half-saint of the Zhenguo of the country, so this title is reasonable.

It's just that Xu Huanzhi looked at the cyan hospital uniform worn by the other party, and he didn't understand what was going on with the respectful look on the young man's face.

Half a year ago, Xu Huanzhi broke into Shenmu Mountain with a brazen attitude, during which in addition to seriously injuring Lu Sanjiao and Bai Jianqiu, the two half-saints, he also killed a student of the Academy named Hetu in Baicao Academy.

Although there were very few people who saw this scene with their own eyes, paper could never contain the fire, so Xu Huanzhi's contempt for Hongming Academy, his challenge to the tea saint Lu Yu, and his blood debt to the students of the academy were soon spread throughout the entire Shenmu Mountain.

At this point, from the branch academicians of the academy to the Gongsheng students who had just entered the school, all of them maintained the greatest hostility towards Xu Huanzhi, except for one person.

This person now appeared in front of Xu Huanzhi and appeared in the grass house.

He is the fifth person to set foot in this cottage in the past six months.

He wears a coarse linen coat all year round, and even on cold winter nights, he wears a thin college uniform on the outside.

He had a dark and heavy woodcutter hanging from his waist, but he had not drunk blood for half a year, and the light was dim.

His name is Chai Nan, and he is an ordinary teenager from Yan Kingdom.

Today's Chai Nan has not taken the national examination, and he has not had the opportunity to obtain the Holy Qi Pill like Su Wen, so he is still just a small tribute, and in Xu Huanzhi's eyes, he is just an ant-like deposit.

But at this moment, maybe it was because Xu Huanzhi was free, so he was in a good mood, or maybe because he was interested in what Chai Nan did, so he opened his mouth and asked Chai Nan three words.

"Why?"

Chai Nan still bowed his head, and when he heard Xu Huanzhi's flat question, he suddenly trembled, but he didn't know if it was because he was nervous or excited.

"The student heard that Lord Zhenguo will be going down the mountain in the near future, so he thought that maybe you would come back here to have a look, so he took it upon himself to add some household belongings, and if it makes the adults unhappy, they hope to forgive their sins!"

This was not the answer Xu Huanzhi wanted to hear, so he was slightly disappointed, but before leaving, he looked at the clean and tidy room again, and seemed to remember some calm and tranquil pictures, so he decided to give the other party another chance.

"Why?"

Xu Huanzhi asked these three words again, and even the tone and volume were exactly the same as before, but in Chai Nan's sound, they were two completely different questions.

So he finally understood what Xu Huanzhi wanted to ask.

The next moment, Chai Nan suddenly sank his knees, knelt down in front of Xu Huanzhi, and said in a low voice: "My name is Chai Nan, and I have a life-and-death enmity with Su Wen, so I hope to worship you as a teacher, and from now on, I will be a knife in your hand!"

This time, Chai Nan no longer calls himself a "student", but "me", which sounds like no difference, but in fact it is very different!

Xu Huanzhi understood Chai Nan's words, his eyes fell on the woodcutter on Chai Nan's waist, and he seemed to be a little surprised, so he smiled faintly: "However, I heard that Su Wen is dead." ”

Yes, many people think that Su Wen is dead, whether it is Bai Jianqiu, Wang Yangming, or Emperor Wei or Lu Yu, but many people still firmly believe that Su Wen is still alive, such as Mu Xi, such as Su Yu.

In many cases, it is not your friends who know you best, but your enemies.

So Chai Nan also knew that Su Wen was not dead.

And I am convinced of it.

He slowly raised his head and said to Xu Huan word by word: "Please believe me, Su Wen must still be alive!"

Xu Huanzhi was noncommittal about this, just raised his hand slightly, and said lightly: "Get up, follow me." ”

When Chai Nan heard this, his face did not show much joy, he just stood up silently, took off the cyan courtyard uniform on his body, threw it into the snow outside the grass house, raised his head, and clenched the woodcutter in his hand.

The next moment, two figures, one big and one small, left from the grass house and walked into the snow, leaving only two pairs of shallow footprints.

All the way, to the south. (To be continued......)
