Chapter 102: The Black Horse and the White Horse
A person who looked like a team leader stared at the lightly drooping snow with blazing eyes, but seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his coming, and under the reminder of his companion, he suddenly came to his senses, and after coughing dryly, he pretended to say:
"Well, who are the three of you, where are you from, where are you going, and why do you want to run away when you see me and others looking panicked. ”
Hearing this, Wang Quan suddenly said coldly: "We just don't want to enter the city, why did we get into your mouth and run away." Besides, which eye of yours saw us look flustered?"
As soon as Lin Xiu heard Wang Quan speak, he secretly said that it was not good, but he only hesitated slightly, but he did not stop it.
Who is Wang Quan? A disciple of the Netherworld Prairie, the Tianjiao of the Holy Land today. His arrogance comes from the bottom of his bones, and it is not his heartfelt admiration for someone, otherwise, no matter how you turn the clouds and rain or the pride of the world, he will not bow his head at all, let alone these shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of him?
It can be said that if it weren't for the fear of causing trouble to Lin Xiu's next trip, with Wang Quan's temperament, he would have drawn his sword a long time ago.
The person who looked like the team leader was obviously stunned when he heard Wang Quan's words, as if he didn't expect the other party to be so tough in the face of officers and soldiers, but he had seen many people of all kinds at this city gate every day, so he had some eyesight.
He didn't speak immediately, and even stretched out his hand to stop the urge of the people around him to draw their swords, and began to re-examine Lin Xiu and the three of them, and after a while, his eyes inadvertently fell on the two black horses led by Lin Xiu and Wang Quan, and his face suddenly froze......
A look of panic flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly took a deep breath and waited until he exhaled slowly...... The ruffian on his face was gone. He stood up straight suddenly, a solemn look appeared in his eyes, and then shouted to the people around him, "Get out of the way!"
After the surrounding guards flashed to the side with a puzzled expression, the team leader suddenly bent down and bowed his head, and said respectfully to Lin Xiu and Wang Quan almost flatteringly: "Two adults, the younger one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope that the adults will atone for their sins when they have offended a lot before." ”
This sudden change not only made those guards look dull, but even Lin Xiu's eyes flashed with a thick doubt, especially the sincerity and that thick fear in the other party's eyes did not seem to be fake, but why did this happen?
Lin Xiu frowned slightly, this was actually just contemplation, but this scene fell in the eyes of the team leader, but it was a different situation.
This adult is upset!!
After realizing this, where can he take care of any face, his face is pale, his knees are weak, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said like crying: "Adults spare their lives, it's the little ones who should be damned, please read that there are still old and young people who need to be supported in the small family, and the life of a small dog is around!!"
After speaking, he actually kowtowed. Seeing this scene, his companion turned pale with fright, knelt down in a hurry, and kowtowed with the leader regardless of what happened......
Lin Xiu and the three of them were completely stunned, no matter what, they couldn't imagine how the situation could evolve like this.
But at this time, after all, it was at the gate of the city, although there were not many pedestrians in the past, but it had already attracted others to stop and look sideways, Lin Xiu and Wang Quan glanced at each other, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "You guys get up!"
Those people were relieved when they heard this and stopped kowtowing, but no one dared to get up, just kneeling on the ground and looking at Lin Xiu pitifully.
Lin Xiu felt a little helpless in his heart, his voice suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I said...... Get up !!"
This move was obviously extremely useful, and when the people heard it, they bounced off the ground at a jaw-dropping speed, and then stood up straight with a snap......
Lin Xiu stiffened his head and said, "What is your duty...... There's nothing wrong with that, it's just ...... Next time, pay attention to the method and tone. You are soldiers...... Not a ruffian. ”
Hearing the teachings of the "adults", several people straightened their chests and raised their heads in unison, and at the same time, their right hands fell on their left chests, making a huge sound of a giant mallet falling drum, and then shouted in unison: "Obey!"
Lin Xiu's face was a little unnatural and said: "Okay, let's go to the city, you can also continue to carry out the mission, that, my trip is confidential, so you know what to do." ”
Hearing this, the team leader showed a look of "sure enough", and then lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, my lord, our brothers are very strict-mouthed. Please enter the castle with peace of mind. ”
Lin Xiu nodded, hesitated slightly, and then reached out and patted the other party's shoulder twice, his eyes full of deep meaning...... After a while, he and Wang Quan, who had strange faces, turned their horses' heads and walked towards the city again.
When the figures of the three disappeared at the gate of the city, the team leader, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief, his legs were weak, his body shook slightly, and his eyes were both afraid and excited, and there was a faint ecstasy.
He wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said with some rejoicing: "It's so dangerous, I almost lost my life!!"
It was only then that his companion asked with a puzzled expression: "Head, who are those people......?
The team leader interrupted him with a disdainful expression, pouted and said: "Will you still order it? If you wait for someone to come up with the order, we will still have our lives?
"How many times have I told you, what is the most important thing in our business, eyesight !! no eyesight, and I don't know how to die when I die. ”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly said, "Head, you can talk about it!"
The team leader's face was proud, but he was immediately alert, and after looking left and right for a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you, do you know what Lao Tzu used to do?"
Everyone looked stunned, and shook their heads in unison.
The team leader said with a mysterious face: "Lao Tzu used to feed war horses in the army. ”
The faces of the people froze, and a strange look appeared in their eyes, as if they were a little strange that this was not a high position, why their heads were proud and proud.
However, the team leader didn't care about the expressions of several people at all, his eyes showed a look of remembrance, and he muttered: "You don't understand, because the war horses in service need to wear heavy armor, so after a long time, the fur covered by the heavy armor will fall off significantly, revealing the rough skin underneath. The longer the warhorse is in service, the more pronounced this situation becomes. ”
"The black horse led by the two young men just now, I knew that it was a war horse when I looked at it, and looking at the roughness of the surface, it had been in service for at least ten years. Do you know what that means?"
Everyone asked in unison, "What does it mean?"
The team leader took a deep breath and continued: "The average war horse has serious wear and tear, and in order to maintain the peak physical strength, the service time is usually only three or five years. Only the war horses of those high-ranking generals will be able to exceed ten years. First, they rarely charge into battle, and secondly, their war horses are also one in a thousand, and their physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary war horses. ”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and looked at the team leader's eyes with admiration.
The team leader sighed lightly and said, "If it weren't for Lao Tzu's eyesight today, you say, would you all have to braid?"
Everyone immediately showed a look of gratitude, and thanked them again and again, as if they had forgotten that today's incident was caused by the other party's lustful heart...... Some people even decided to feast each other, and they didn't get drunk and didn't go home. But these proposals were rejected by the team leader, and he turned pale and said in a deep voice:
"You pig brains, are you still fucking drunk and don't go home in this situation? Don't blame me for not reminding you, from now on give me a little stop, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all those messy things are not allowed to touch, if you don't touch the tip of the knife with long eyes, hum ......"
Seeing the fear in the other party's eyes, the team leader showed satisfaction, and then said: "Let's go, continue to defend the city, uh, by the way, that should pay attention to the way and method, we are soldiers, not ruffians know?"
After saying this, in the slightly strange eyes of everyone, he took a step towards the city gate, and actually walked out with a trace of the iron and blood of a soldier
......
Some things that are lost are not really lost, maybe they are sealed in the bones, or they may be hidden deep in the soul...... Just wait for an opportunity, a fate, a casual encounter...... It is possible to wake it up
......

Heavenly Grace City
Wang Quan, whose face was still strange, said suspiciously: "What do you say is wrong with them?"
Lin Xiu's complexion at this time was still the same as before, he glanced at Wang Quan, and chuckled: "There's nothing wrong with them, but their eyes are too poisonous!"
Wang Quan was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiu smiled slightly, and angrily pouted in the direction where Xue Yan was, Wang Quan turned his head to look, but found that Xue Yan was pouting at this time, not knowing what he was sulking.
Wang Quan was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"
Xue Yan snorted, but did not speak. Wang Quan looked at Lin Xiu with a dull expression, and said puzzledly, "Did I offend her?"
Lin Xiu lowered his voice and said, "It's not you, it's those city guards, didn't you notice that they were called two adults just now, and they were only respectful to you and me?"
The doubts in Wang Quan's eyes were even greater, and he said puzzledly: "So what?"
Lin Xiu suppressed the smile in his eyes, and his voice was lower: "Perhaps...... People treat her as our maid. ”
"What?maid?" Wang Quan's voice suddenly became a little high, which made the smile in Lin Xiu's eyes suddenly stiffen, and then he glared at the other party speechlessly, don't turn his head and stop talking. At the same time, Xue Yan snorted coldly.
Wang Quan was stunned for a moment and asked, "But, why is this happening?"
This time, Lin Xiu didn't pay attention to this product at all. But Xue Yan said coldly: "I'm different from you."
Wang Quan re-rang and subconsciously said: "It's different? No, doesn't Dayun also have female generals?"
Xue Yan snorted coldly, suddenly turned over and got on the horse, and with a "snap" slammed the leather whip in his hand on the horse's buttocks, and the crisp sound hurt when he heard it...... The horse was evidently in pain, too, and, after a burst of neighing, galloped with its hooves raised.
Wang Quan said with a sluggish face: "What's the matter?
Lin Xiu really couldn't stand it anymore, and sighed: "That's because her horse is different from ours!"
Wang Quan blinked his eyes twice and muttered, "The horses are different, we are black horses, and hers is a white horse......?" What can be seen from this?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiu's face froze, and then he supported his forehead with his hand, and he turned over on the horse with a collapsed face, and whipped away, as if he didn't want to stay longer for a moment.
Only Wang Quan was left alone, with a strange expression, and after a while, he said angrily: "What's wrong with these two people?"
......
......
Dize City
Yun Liantian sat in front of the desk, his face calm, and the index finger of his right hand was constantly tapping lightly on the desktop. Below it, there were two people, Long Ziming and Sword Saint, and at this time, the former was bowing his head and saying something.
After a long time, Yun Liantian finally frowned slightly, and his gaze was no longer as calm as before. He was silent for a while, then suddenly got up slowly, crossed the desk to the window, and quietly looked at the flowers and plants outside the window that were still full of spring even in early winter, without saying a word.
Long Ziming and the Sword Master lowered their heads, and the atmosphere in the field was a little depressing.
After half a ring, Yun Liantian suddenly said softly: "Dao Zun's sword...... It's too ordinary, after all......"
Hearing this, Long Ziming and Sword Saint Di Shan glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Perhaps they thought that Yun Liantian would be more concerned about the fact that they would be killed by the mountain ghosts and Youluo of the Netherworld Grassland.
Sword Saint Di Shan suddenly took a deep breath, a look of unbearability flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, and said as if he was stubborn: "Your Majesty, Roger may just be confused for a while, and he will come back after a while when he understands it." ”
Yun Liantian didn't speak immediately, he still looked out the window quietly, and after a while, he suddenly sighed and said, "When you think about it, all thoughts disappear...... At your current state, your will has long been extremely firm, where can there be such a thing as a change of heart or confusion."
Hearing this, Di Shan was suddenly shocked, and a gloomy color flashed in his eyes. Although he and Roger have different ideas, the two have been friends for many years after all, and their love is there.
Yun Liantian was silent for a moment, and said softly: "The position of the commander of Roger Huang Yunying's camp will be relieved." After saying this, he slowly turned around, and then a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said to Long Ziming in a kind tone: "Ziming, you will work harder, and after the new commander is elected, temporarily replace Huang Yunying."
Hearing this, Long Ziming was slightly stunned, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He muttered, "Your Majesty, this ......"
Yun Liantian raised a hand to interrupt what he was about to say, and said softly: "I know what you want to say, but the matter of the Netherworld Prairie is obviously deliberately done, and in that case, you are also forced to be helpless." I don't blame you for this, you don't have to pay attention to it, I will take care of it. ”
Long Ziming nodded slightly, but his eyes were still full of doubts, he really couldn't think of how the other party would deal with this kind of thing. After all, the mountain ghost and the ghost are not shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the two of them are the high-level of the Netherworld Grassland, and they are the mainstay of the Holy Land. This kind of hatred that is almost endless, why would Yun Liantian say it so lightly?
But since the other party said it, Long Ziming obviously wouldn't say more, he took a deep breath, and hurriedly said, "Yes!"
Yun Liantian chuckled and said, "Okay, this trip to Xihuang Mountain has been hard for both of you, hurry up and go back to rest!"
Long Ziming and Di Shan hurriedly retreated, but when they left, their eyes were extremely rich and strange...... They always felt that Yun Liantian's reaction to the series of changes that happened during the two of them on their trip to Xihuang Mountain seemed to be too bland
......
......
After the two left, Yun Liantian sent someone to summon the star soul in.
Star Soul said respectfully: "See Your Majesty, I don't know why Your Majesty summoned Weichen to come."
Yun Liantian was silent for a while, and said softly: "Star Soul, I have to retreat for a period of time, and during this period, the affairs of the court and the central government will be handled by you. ”
The star soul was slightly stunned, and doubts appeared in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed the doubts and said respectfully: "Obey!"
Yun Liantian said again: "Other...... You've heard about Roger, right?"
Star Soul frowned and nodded, "I've heard of it somewhat. ”
Yun Liantian nodded lightly, and said as if extremely casually: "Send the order to Liantian Tower...... Let Wei Jinglong send someone to find Di Shan......"
Hearing this, the star soul just wanted to nod yes, but suddenly his eyes were slightly stagnant, his brows furrowed, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in a little panic: "Your Majesty, this ......"
Yun Liantian said leisurely: "Roger is old, and he can't hold the knife anymore...... I don't want his prestige to be ruined in old age...... So...... Let's make the sword a legend for future generations as soon as possible."
Star Soul set off a turbulent wave in his heart, although he knew that the emperor was ruthless, but he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, he took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down the violent fluctuations of his mind, and then made a final effort and said: "But Your Majesty, General Yunlong has been ...... all these years It doesn't seem to be very ...... Uh, the minister is worried about ......"
Yun Liantian said with a smile: "Hehe, Jinglong has just misunderstood me over the years, so it is inevitable that there will be some emotions, it doesn't matter, you just need to send a message, I believe Jinglong still has a number in his heart!!"
When the star soul heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times...... can make Yun Liantian say that the other party's several disobedience are in an emotion, and I am afraid that there is only one person in the world, Wei Jinglong, the general of Yunlong.
In this way, with great sighs and feelings, he was ordered to leave......
Yun Liantian stood quietly by the window for a long time, and suddenly said softly: "Liyang, has there been news from the cold moon?"
Suddenly, an ethereal voice came from the air: "The princess and those two young men have arrived in the City of Heavenly Grace!"
Yun Liantian nodded, then frowned slightly, and suddenly whispered in a deep voice: "I've been a little restless lately...... Liyang, you can also go for a trip, you are at the same time as the cold moon, I can rest assured. Remember, no matter what, you must not let the princess step into the Falling God Peak. ”
The voice said yes, and fell silent, as if it had quietly left.
Yun Liantian frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly took a deep breath and muttered, "I hope it's not a ......."
After a moment, he said again, "Looks like I have to go to the Netherworld."
......
