Chapter 22: The Wind Will Rise
Ning Qingru didn't care about Wu Yong, in his opinion, this person was no different from a wasted person, so there was nothing to worry about. Right now, he was more worried about the Wu family's pressure on the academy.
Although Changxin Academy has always ignored the aristocratic lord, thin noodles are always to be given. If the Wu family is crazy and wants to deal with him Ning Qingru at any cost, then even Changxin Academy should also think about how to express its position.
Ning Qingru didn't think that Changxin Academy would definitely be on his side, after all, if he really wanted to talk about it, he was the one who hurt people, although he was not provoking trouble, but there was no reason to be spared, it was estimated that playing fifty boards would be the final decision of Changxin Academy.
In other words, it is probably that both him and Wu Yong will be expelled.
Hey, that's sad.
Ning Qingru smiled indifferently, and called out a word of sorrow in his heart, but looking at it on his face, how could he have substantive worries? The element of banter probably accounted for a large proportion.
The afternoon class was on Zheng He, in addition to talking about literature and history, he actually talked about cultivation and the way of heaven, which made people feel dumbfounded, you know, Zheng He's cultivation is not strong. This can't help but make people feel that his theoretical level is really a bit worrying.
However, most of the students in Class 11 are not high-achieving students, and the only genius, Xue Zhiqian, has basically never come to class, so what Zheng He talks about has some market.
At least Ning Qingru didn't feel anything wrong when he listened.
Half a day without words, the afternoon passed plainly and slowly.
Ning Qingru left the academy, and a sense of urgency gradually swept over his heart, so he planned to cultivate with Chi Dongyu tonight.
Seeing Ning Qingru, Chi Dongyu was a little surprised at first, then his pretty face was slightly red, and finally, his narrow eyes flashed with a little flattery, and Ning Qingyu saw that his lower abdomen was hot and turbulent.
After dinner, they didn't even say hello to Shen Shuanghua, they went back to the room, closed the door and closed the window, sat down cross-legged on the bed, faced each other with their palms, slowly closed their eyes, and Xuanyuan surged out like a torrent.
......
Northern Regions, Tianhe Mansion, Dongjin City.
Dayan has set up eighteen prefectures to coordinate the world, and Tianhe Mansion is the largest of the three prefectures in the Northern Regions. Dongjin City is the largest city in Tianhe Province.
It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the snowfall days in the northern region are gradually decreasing, and the snow is melting, which is the coldest time compared to the middle of winter.
Outside the city of Dongjin, a light horse stepped on the snow and galloped, the knight had a black feather on his shoulder, hunting with the wind, and he had a round bamboo tube tied to his waist, swaying up and down in the bumpy gallop.
"Stop!"
At the gate of the city, several spearmen set up a position as if they were facing a great enemy, and the spears were aimed at the knight, and the first one had a strong voice, shouting loudly: "Stop! In a special period, everyone needs to be checked!"
"I am reprimanding the black feather rider of the crow camp, and I have something important to tell the general, so don't you retreat quickly!" the knight took a chain of iron pieces from his neck, and on the iron plates, the word "Ning" flashed strangely.
Under the city gate, those gatekeepers had solemn faces, neatly collected their spears, retreated to the side, and opened the door of convenience.
The black-feathered rider galloped by, and did not greet these comrades.
Looking at the back of the light horse gradually disappearing, one of them muttered, "Black Feather Rider, what level of thing is this?"
"Don't guess, do your job!"
When the little leader heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he shouted in a deep voice. The soldiers on duty suddenly looked slightly abrupt and said no more.
.......
The area of Ningfu is not very large, it is decent, and the overall building is mainly blue-gray, which is not publicized.
In the conference hall, several middle-aged men with strong breaths sat in rows, and the leader was a handsome man who had weathered the weather, although silver threads had begun to appear on his head, and although his face was no longer as smooth and delicate as his youth, no one despised him because he showed his old age.
Whoever lets, he is actually the tallest man in the entire Northern Regions, and the supreme commander of the entire Guanning Army. He is Ning Qingru's father, Ning Jinyuan.
In the conference hall, everyone disagreed for a long time because of one thing, and he asked everyone to calm down first, calm down, and not be carried away by anger.
Just when everyone was frowning and silent, a soldier in light armor broke in, and behind him, there were two soldiers with nervous expressions, and the two of them seemed to want to stop the soldier, but seeing that Ning Jinyuan had noticed this, he immediately gave up.
Without waiting for them to explain, Ning Jinyuan waved his hand and told them to step back.
Then, he looked at the soldier who looked out of breath and said, "Let's straighten out the breath first, and then we will talk about it, and the big thing will not be bad for so long." ”
The lightly armored soldier blushed, didn't care about the response, took off the bamboo tube at his waist, held it in both hands and handed it to Ning Jinyuan.
Ning Jinyuan looked at the black feather on the soldier's shoulder, took the bamboo tube, took out the letter inside, and put it back after just glancing at it, squinting slightly.
"What's your name?" Ning Jinyuan asked the soldier.
"Zhou Wei. ”
"Hmm. ”
After a brief conversation, the soldier named Zhou Wei bowed and retreated.
Ning Jinyuan put the bamboo tube on the table casually, looked around, did not answer the intention of asking about the intention in the eyes of those generals, and said indifferently: "Come, continue to talk about the previous matter." ”
In the chamber, there was another heated debate.
It's getting late.
After a day of discussion, everyone came to a conclusion that was satisfactory to all parties, and before the meeting was to be dismissed, Ning Jinyuan opened his mouth and said, "Jincheng, you can stay for a while." ”
Everyone looked strange, although Ning Jincheng was Ning Jinyuan's younger brother, he had never been left alone after the meeting, and today was the first time.
Ning Jincheng's face was five points similar to Ning Jinyuan, and he didn't expect that his eldest brother would suddenly let him stay, but he didn't question it at all, and nodded yes.
......
In the dead of night, Ningfu is still brightly lit.
Ning Jinyuan and Ning Jincheng slowly strolled through the corridor, Ning Jincheng held a letter in his hand, looked down carefully, and his expression gradually changed.
"How dare he do this?!" After reading it, Ning Jincheng said angrily.
Ning Jinyuan rubbed his eyebrows, a little tired, in front of people, he was the general Guan Ning who would never fall, and everything was carried strongly, but over the years, who knew his exhaustion.
Ning Jincheng put away the letter, looked at Ning Jinyuan, watched his movements, and couldn't help but worry: "Big brother, are you okay?"
Shaking his head, Ning Jinyuan sighed and said: "The continuous skirmishes with the Liang Dynasty have lasted for decades, and the annual military expenditure is not a small amount. Once they succeed, our Guanning army will face great problems, and it is difficult to say whether it can continue to maintain its complete combat strength. ”
When Ning Jincheng heard this, his face was already furious, but he couldn't say anything, but his eyes gradually turned red.
"How did they know what a disaster it would be once the Liang army broke through the defense line and broke through into the Northern Regions. Ning Jinyuan said, sneering: "What they care about is probably just the two copper plates in their pockets, right?"
"However, there are cousins in the court, and I believe that those people's ideas will not be easily implemented. Ning Jincheng suddenly remembered something and said.
"That's true. Ning Jinyuan nodded, and then, a faint killing intent emerged, and he said coldly: "Don't worry about the DPRK for the time being, but you must not let go of the immediate matter." ”
When Ning Jincheng heard this, he also sneered: "This is natural, in vain I used to treat him as a brother, I didn't expect that the enemy would be able to do such a hurtful thing, if I don't kill him to sacrifice the flag, how can I Guan Ningjun's soldiers who died because of him be blind!"
Ning Jinyuan pondered for a while, and said: "You can't act rashly, you have to follow the vine and touch the melon, and it is true that he will be wiped out, not to mention, even if he doesn't have a henchman, we can't do anything to him easily, and we have to consult my father to see how he chooses." ”
When Ning Jincheng heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then said bitterly: "Indeed, after all, he grew up with us since he was a child, although he doesn't care about his past feelings, it is still a little uncomfortable to really decide to kill him." ”
"Since he has chosen another path, it is not the same person he used to be, so there is no need to think about it. Ning Jinyuan said indifferently: "I'm going to see my father tomorrow, it's late tonight, so I won't disturb his old man's house, and we'll rest early." ”
"Hmm. ”
.......
After a night of cultivation, when I opened my eyes again, the sky was already faintly bright.
Ning Qingru and Chi Dongyu glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Last night, the combination of yin and yang between the two of them seemed to be extremely perfect, not only the cultivation efficiency was greatly improved, but also the spirit was much better, and the sleepless night did not bring them any impact at all, but they were all full of energy.
Ning Qingru stretched his waist, he had a hunch that if he combined this perfect combination again, he would be able to break through to the fourth realm, and the bottleneck was already crumbling, and he was only one foot away.
Standing up, pushing open the door, Ning Qingru walked into the courtyard. Chi Dongyu continued to meditate on the bed, realizing something.
Ning Qingru took a deep breath, the morning air was very fresh, he opened his formation, and the Hundred Refining Fist was punched out like a storm.
He gradually immersed himself in a strange feeling, and with every punch he threw out, he could see the surging of Xuanyuan in his body, and spreading like a tree root, flowing in all directions.
When Xuanyuan passed through the meridians that had never been opened, a slight feeling of swelling and pain rose, and at the same time, there was also a tingling sensation, but it was too slight compared to the swelling pain and was not easy to be noticed.
Ning Qingru fought until the eighty-seventh punch today, and then he still had the strength to stop.
The sweat that broke out of his pores was already a mixture of unspeakable black filth mixed with blood.
It stinks.
Hurriedly took a shower, changed her clothes under Chi Dongyu's surprised gaze, and then smiled and pinched her feverish pretty face, left the courtyard, and walked towards the academy.
As for Chi Dongyu, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his mind was full of Ning Qingru's slick appearance......
