Today's Los Angeles is particularly lively, because half a month of rainy days has finally passed, looking at the golden light that penetrates from behind the clouds, the big roosters outside the city are scrambling to sing loudly.

Every household takes out their damp items and puts them in the sun, and on a good day, the vendors push the wooden carts in their hands and walk the streets and alleys, shouting about their business.

Rows of wooden windows were propped up, and heads of all sizes poked out of them, breathing in the fresh air after the rain.

There is a butcher shop that slaughters fresh pigs for a beautiful day. Cheeks, cartilage, and ribs were displayed on the tables, and the people with oiled paper waited in line, and no one noticed the dark red blood stains in the corner of the street.

On the second floor of a courtyard house, the beautiful woman accidentally knocked down the bamboo pole that supported the window when she opened the window, and the bamboo pole that fell from mid-air happened to hit the head of a rich businessman passing by, perhaps because of the long-lost sunny day that made people feel happy, the rich businessman was not angry, and picked up the bamboo pole with a kind smile and handed it to the beautiful woman who came out of the courtyard door, the two looked at each other under the eaves, with affection, but they didn't know that in the heavy rain last night, there were two men who had just killed people without umbrellas and were silent under this eaves for a long time。

The shops in the north city of the east city have also opened, and the shopkeepers took out a bag of silver from the drawer of the counter after preparing everything, waiting for the people who came to the door to collect the sky-high rent, but they waited for a long time and did not wait for the fierce men on weekdays.

In the tavern of the West Market, the customers who came to drink in the morning praised the cheapness of the drinks, but they did not notice that the store and the shopkeeper had changed a batch of new faces.

The work of the Divine Dynasty is also carried out in an orderly manner, after a purge in the rainy night of the Dao Department, the administrative departments at all levels have come up with strong execution, and the Phoenix Pavilion has not only taken over all kinds of businesses left by the Bear Axe Gang, but also quickly cleaned up the blood stains of the corpses left after the battle, as if nothing bloody had ever happened.

Under the command of Xiao Si, the officials of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites liquidated the property in the general altar of the Bear Axe Gang, and when they saw the white flowers and silver patterns laid under the bed, they couldn't help but sigh Isn't it awkward to sleep on such a bed at night?

The bright side of Los Angeles is harmonious, and the dark side of Los Angeles is even more lively.

After learning of the miserable fate of the Bear Axe Gang, the rest of the gang bosses didn't even care about the concubine lying next to them early in the morning, and looked at the morning sun by the window with messy hair.

The end of a rainy season has changed the rivers and lakes of Los Angeles.

......

......

In front of the East Gate of Los Angeles, the willows on both sides of the wide avenue have become more lovely after half a month of rainy season, and they have all been prompted out, and the eyes are full of soft green.

Different from the early arrival of summer in the south, on this sunny morning, the summer in Los Angeles in the north has really arrived, and the birds with long-tailed feathers are hovering in the low sky of the woods, chirping wantonly, and the sparrows on the branches are twisting their round little hairy heads and looking around, and finally looking at the black crowd in the city gate.

"Master Hou doesn't know when he will be able to return, when I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I will definitely bring two pots of good drunken immortal brew to the big tent in the north and get drunk with Master Hou!"

"That's very good, when the time comes, the first drunk person will have to kill a few more Huns to make amends." ”

"What's so hard about that!"

"Haha!"

About a month has passed since the return of Marquis Xu Fengmian to Beijing at the beginning of the month, His Majesty the Emperor personally met with 300 soldiers and gave him meritorious honors, and Marquis Xu was welcomed by the princes and nobles.

But after all, they are the soldiers guarding the frontier, Los Angeles is just a temporary post station, their destination is still the northern battlefield, as long as the war does not stop for a day, then the frontier is their home.

Today, the Marquis of Xu Fengmian with three hundred personal soldiers is about to embark on the road to the north again, still in the wide avenue of the east city gate, all the ministers have come to see them off, and say some triumphant greetings to each other, and the attendants on the side bring wine, and the Hou Ye and the ministers of civil and military affairs drink heartily.

In the middle of the crowd stood a young man wearing armor with a sword at his waist, looking at the green willows beside the road.

Daoist Shangshu Ji Xunli came over with a fat young man with a bowl of wine, Ji Xunli patted the young man's shoulder and said: "Ximeng, you must take care of yourself after going north, learn more from Hou Ye, don't be lazy all day long, that army is not as good as this Los Angeles, which soldier in there is not full of energy, Xu Hou Ye doesn't like lazy children." ”

Xie Ximeng pursed his lips and said, "You feel like you're sending your child to school, am I a child? Is the north a school? I can tell you, this war doesn't stop, and I won't come back!"

"Don't mind, I've heard that there is a holiday in this town's northern army, don't come back from the holiday!" said the fat young man on the side.

"Why do I think you are more suitable to go to the north than me? You look at your body, after staying in the north for a while, you will definitely be able to lose a lot of weight after coming back, and maybe your physical skills can also be improved. Xie Ximeng patted the fat young man's stomach.

"No, no, my weight is not up to standard, don't you know that the last time Luyang watched the moon, I was stuck on the mountain road, and when I came back, you didn't see the eyes of the old man in my house, and I felt that I could eat me." The fat young man grinned.

"Okay, okay, so many people, what kind of system is it to make a lot of noise. Ji Xunli waved his hand and said, "Do you have anything else to say, just say it together." ”

Xie Ximeng thought for a while and said: "There is really nothing else to explain, that young man named Ning Shu, if you have time, take care of it, as for the matter of entering the Dao Department, it is not very necessary, he is not the kind of person who likes to be restrained by something, but if there is something to ask him for help, he will also agree." ”

"And his cultivation is still shallow, and he has that kind of treasure on his body, I'm afraid that there will be Xiaoxiao who will attack him, so please pay more attention to it. ”

Ji Xunli and the fat young man glanced at each other, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, they knew who the young man named Ning Shu was, and they also knew that he was a genius, but Xie Ximeng and the fat young man in the field were known as the first person of the younger generation of the Divine Dynasty, and the other was known as the unparalleled physical skills, which one was not a genius?

It's just that Xie Ximeng couldn't help but be a little surprised that such a young man in the realm of divine thought was so important.

Earlier, they already knew what happened on that rainy night, so they had a good impression of this young man they had never met, and at the same time, they could see in Xie Ximeng's words that he had a very high opinion of Ning Shu, but they didn't expect to be able to bring it up again when they were about to leave north, and even had a posture of entrustment.

The fat young man nodded solemnly and said, "Definitely, with someone from my Yue here, no one wants to move a finger of him!"

The horn of the departure sounded, and all the soldiers at the east gate were ready to go, and the ministers of civil and military affairs gave them off.

Ji Xunli stepped forward and fiddled with Xie Ximeng's already neatly worn armor with his hand, looked at it with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Go ahead." ”

Xie Ximeng bowed his hand and turned on his horse, following behind Xu Fengmian, with a gust of wind blowing, the phoenix flag and the Xu Zi battle flag fluttered, and the team that traveled far gradually disappeared on the avenue.

......

......

The flowers at the city gate are in full bloom, and the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone pavement is flying, startling the frolicking bees and butterflies on the flowers.

An ordinary cyan butterfly broke away from the butterfly flock, flew with the wind, flapped its thin wings like a piece of paper, and flew into the bustling city of Los Angeles with the crowd coming in and out of the city gate.

Butterflies have no color in their eyes, and the world they see is only black and white.

Black and white crowds, black and white buildings, black and white grass and trees.

It skipped the ears of the girls, evaded the capture of the boys, seemed weak but unusually tenacious, and the wind with the wings of the butterfly could not even blow the flowers on the side of the road.

Ning Shu stood by the window and looked at the green butterfly dancing wantonly in the sea of flowers in the courtyard, brushing the sword at his waist with his palm, thinking about the lazy figure who turned around and walked out of the door in a dashing manner, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He is alone outside, he is a reluctant to speak, such a character will inevitably have fewer friends, Yuan Youtao, who has experienced Luyang and the moon together, is counted as one, and Xie Ximeng, who fought together in the rainy night, was naturally classified by Ning Shu into the category of friends.

But just after I had a friend, my friend patted his ass and went north to the battlefield, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, which does sound a bit regrettable.

Ning Shu shook his head, sighed, got on the bed and sat down, and began a new day of cultivation.

After flying for a long time, the green butterfly in the flowers outside the window also found a white flower that was inconspicuous among the thousands of flowers and fell, gathered its wings with simple lines, and stood quietly on the stamens, like a still painting.
