The north wind is bleak, and the banner is hunting.

The yellow sand outside the high city is all over the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves resounding like thunder in the heavens and the earth, and the annual battle of beating the grass valley is about to begin.

People shouted and horses neighed, swords collided, and the murderous spirit soared to the sky.

After a battle, there were countless figures lying on the ground, many corpses hanging on the walls, and the sound of painful wails everywhere. If you are lucky, you will die on the spot, and the worst thing is that you will feel your life slowly pass until the end.

A group of men who stand up to the sky and the earth guard the frontier, for the people of the world, and for the society of the Liang State.

It's a pity that Taiping was originally set by the general, and the general was not allowed to see the peace.

Dean Geng let out a long sigh, and was about to continue to indulge in the memories of the past, when he was woken up by the sound of footsteps in his ears. He raised his head slightly, and looked in the direction of the footsteps, it was the middle-aged man who had come before.

The slightly chubby middle-aged man was carrying two pots of wine in his hands, he walked to Geng Huyuan without hurrying, sat on the grass, and then raised his hand and shook the wine jug in his hand, and said politely: "Friend, it's a long night, let's have a drink together?"

Geng Huyuan showed a friendly expression, and said in his mouth: "Thank you for the kindness of your friend, then I will not be polite." ”

The slightly chubby middle-aged man casually handed Geng Huyuan a silver tin pot, and said in his mouth: "Come and try it, Wuzhen's three white wines, you will definitely like it." ”

Geng Huyuan took the flask, took a big sip, and praised loudly: "Good wine." After entering the mouth, it is mellow and pure, sweet and delicious, which suits my taste very well. ”

He smiled at the middle-aged man and continued: "Under the surname Geng, I don't know my friend's surname?"

The middle-aged man took a sip of wine and replied, "The younger brother's surname is Sun, and he is the guard of the Zhou Mansion of the county magistrate." ”

Geng Huyuan hugged his fists and said, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be a friend of the county magistrate's mansion." ”

Sun Huwei showed a bitter smile, "What is disrespectful, it's not that people can't enter the city." ”

Geng Huyuan sighed, "Brother Sun, those servants didn't let you enter the city, aren't you afraid that Lord Fuzun will blame you?"

"Oh, Brother Geng, I don't know who ordered the city gate to be closed?"

"I really don't know, when the two of us arrived at the city gate, the city gate was already closed, I shouted a few words, and was scolded by the official, so I retreated. Although Geng Huyuan was talking about embarrassing things, his voice was a little flat.

Sun Guard sighed slightly, and said softly: "There is a wolf guard of the Imperial City Division standing on the city wall, and it is thought that it is the people of the Xuan Wolf Guard who have taken over the matter of guarding the city gate. ”

"What are they doing here?"

"That's what I want to ask, but unfortunately, I don't have a clue. ”

Geng Huyuan didn't answer immediately, but just took the tin wine jug and touched Sun Huwei, took a sip of it, and then said: "My young master and I are going to go into the city to rest, we never thought that we would be locked out, but now we know the reason." ”

"Oh, did you encounter an anomaly on the way here?" asked Sun Guard eagerly.

"It's not abnormal, it's just that when I passed by this farewell pavilion, I was surpassed by a group of ten people, all of whom were black-clothed and black horses, and I think it was the Imperial City Wolf Guard you said. Geng Huyuan explained.

"In this case, a group of ten people? The people of the Imperial City Division are all in groups of five, and it seems that there are two groups of people. Sun Huwei's voice was not high, as if he was muttering to himself, and then asked again: "Brother Geng really doesn't know what happened?"

Geng Huyuan shook his head, "We just came from Yihe Town, where will we know what happened." ”

Sun Huwei showed a sad expression, and said very sadly: "Wolf Wei's guy actually shot a brother of my family indiscriminately......"

After saying this, Sun Huwei's voice was already a little choked.

Geng Huyuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "Brother Sun's Day mourning is changing, the deceased is gone, so don't be too sad." ”

Sun Guard's shoulders shook for a while, and then he stared at Geng Huyuan with red eyes, and said in a cold voice: "If your friend knows the reason for the Imperial City Division's trip, please tell me." If I notice something in the future, I'm afraid I'll be a little embarrassed at that time. ”

In the end, it has changed from crying to a threat that is neither soft nor hard.

In this regard, Geng Huyuan only showed an apologetic expression, and said: "If I knew about it, I would definitely tell Brother Sun." It's just that my master and servant have just come from out of town, and I really don't know much. ”

Sun Huwei bowed slightly, didn't say much, and returned to the pavilion with the wine jug in his hand.

Geng Huyuan watched the figure go away, and just sighed softly. His interest was disturbed, and he didn't want to remember those past events in the Northland, but just added wood to the fire and looked up at the endless starry sky.

Halfway through the night, the temperature became cooler and cooler, and the people under the pavilion gradually stopped being active, but only two people were left to keep vigil, and the rest of the people had begun to close their eyes and rest.

At this moment, there seemed to be a tense and depressing atmosphere between heaven and earth, and then it enveloped the group of people who were sleeping outside the city, and also shrouded the city in front of them.

The trees on both sides of the post road were shaken, and dozens of knights appeared in the dim distance, and there were dense figures behind the knights, with neat steps, running quickly and vigorously in the direction of Jiaxing City.

Geng Huyuan's brows jumped, and he kicked Meng Ran quietly.

After a few breaths, Meng Ran slowly sat up, looked at Geng Huyuan with worried eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Geng, what's the situation?"

"See for yourself!"

Meng Ran glanced in the direction of the sound of Dong Dong's footsteps a few times, and asked in surprise, "Army, how is this possible?"

"What's impossible, if something so big happens, the entire Gangnam Province will not be at peace. ”

"Isn't it too much of a stretch to mobilize troops?"

Geng Huyuan shook his head slightly, and patiently explained: "That's because you don't know the importance of this incident. First of all, the Xuanwolf Qianhu who listened to the death of Yuge was a five-rank official of the imperial court, which involved the face of the Great Liang. Moreover, the Imperial City Si Xuan Wolf Wei Dynasty of the Son of Heaven hunts and herds the world, which involves a lot of privacy and secrets, and if it is known, I am afraid that the whole world will be shaken. In the end, every Imperial City Si Qianhu is a cultivator, and it is not easy to cultivate and cultivate, and now that they have been killed, they naturally want to ask for an explanation. ”

Meng Ran nodded, "How many troops are there?"

"I just took a general look, and it should be a regiment of soldiers and horses. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Hangzhou's Zhichong Mansion is Shangfu, and there are 1,200 sergeants, and now a quarter of them are here at once, which is really a big deal. Meng Ran sighed.

Geng Huyuan bowed his head and said: "What you said is good, it is a big stroke. But I guess that if this matter doesn't move forward well or if there are other changes in the situation, the Divine Army will also move. ”

"Hey...," Meng Ran sighed softly, "I'm afraid the people will suffer again." ”

"Who says it's not? As soon as the Shence army moves, I'm afraid it will be a bloody storm. ”

Both sighed as they were worried about what was going to happen in the coming days.

As he spoke, the sergeant of the 300 Zhichong Mansion had already arrived under the city wall. I only heard a heavy squeak, and the gate of Jiaxing City slowly opened, and after the army entered the city, the gate closed again.

Soon after, several fires lit up on the city wall, and more than a dozen black shadows stood in the firelight.

At this time, Meng Ran was no longer sleepy, and stared at the direction of the city gate with a heavy face.

The people around the pavilion also slowly woke up, looking in the direction of the city with an incredulous expression. Even the carriage, which had not moved, was now slightly lifted, and the people who wanted to come inside were quietly watching everything that happened on the city wall.

Footsteps sounded, and Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan looked at the person who came, it was the Sun guard. He seemed to have forgotten the cold threat he had made to Geng Nursing Courtyard before, and walked over with a smile on his face, looking very friendly.

Geng Huyuan looked at the person who came and asked softly, "Is there anything wrong with Brother Sun?"

Sun Huwei coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing, but I can't sleep a little, and I want to chat with my two friends for a while." ”

Geng Huyuan didn't give him a look, and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit next to him.

After Escort Sun sat down, he arched his hand at Meng Ran, and said casually: "Under the surname Sun, dare to ask Gongzi's surname?"

"The surname is Meng, and the single name is a natural character. ”

"It turned out to be Meng Gongzi. Where is Childe from?"

Meng Ran smiled, "It's also from Jiangnan Province." ”

"Oh, looking at the temperament and posture of the son, I think there is also a father who is an official in the court?" asked Sun Huwei tentatively.

"My father has been dead for many years. ”

Hearing this, Sun Guard's face turned slightly cold, and he was no longer polite before.

Meng Ran paused for a moment and continued: "It's just that Lord Yuezhang is still an official in the court, and as for the name, it is inconvenient to disclose it." ”

Sun Huwei's face changed and changed, he put on a smile, and said respectfully: "I am really lucky to meet Meng Gongzi here. I don't know what the son is going to Jiaxing City?"

"It's nothing, it's just a routine trip on the orders of the elders. ”

Sun Huwei's expression was very exciting, and after praising Meng Ran, he turned to look at Geng Huyuan, and said very politely: "It turns out that Brother Geng is a master, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Geng Huyuan didn't deny it, but just showed a mysterious expression.

Sun Huwei believed more and more in the speculation in his heart, such a young son and brother had already begun to travel, naturally they were those children of the high-ranking sect that had been passed down for a long time, not to mention that his father-in-law was an official in the court, and it was inconvenient to reveal his name, so he must be serving in a central position. As for this entourage surnamed Geng, looking at this situation, I am afraid that he is a master, and may even be a cultivator.

He thought for a while, and then cautiously asked, "Why don't you two go into the city?"

"Isn't the gate closed? Meng Ran said casually.

Hearing such a relaxed answer, Sun Huwei became more and more firm in his judgment, his attitude became more respectful, and he even spoke cautiously, for fear of provoking the two people in front of him.

The three of them only gossiped for a while, and Sun Huwei's back was already wet.

In the end, he couldn't stay any longer, and said goodbye to the two of them and left.

After Escort Sun returned to the pavilion, Meng Ran muttered, "Isn't that entourage surnamed Sun a fool? ”

Geng Huyuan, who had already seen through everything, smiled and said in a low voice: "It is estimated that he regards you as a child of a wealthy family, thinking that I am a master of the world." ”

Meng Ran covered his mouth and smiled secretly, a trace of mist appeared in his eyes.

Geng Huyuan also grinned, laughing silently.
