Fang Xinghan, the commander of Wenyang, is a typical soldier of the army, he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, powerful and burly, and has a bloody and brave air on his body.

But today, Fang Xinghan did not have the slightest bit of sharpness, before entering the Taishou Mansion, his face was gloomy like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and when he left the Taishou Mansion, his face was as dark as the winter moon and snow.

A month ago, Ning Liangcai, the deputy governor of Wenyang, and three hundred soldiers were sent by Taishou Song Ye to hunt giant pythons in Zhuquan Forest, but this old brother who had been with Fang Xinghan for more than 20 years was gone, and there was not even a piece of bone residue left.

Now, Song Ye sent Fang Xinghan to the Zhuquan Forest to investigate the situation, and he was only allowed to bring two hundred soldiers. After all, there are only 1,500 soldiers in the small Wenyang City, and if the loss of soldiers is too large, Song Ye can't afford to hold it down.

Song Taishou had already given the order, and Fang Xinghan, who was the captain, categorically did not dare to disobey the order, but he made up his mind in his heart, and took his brothers to the Zhuquan Forest fifteen miles away.

Although Song Taishou gave a sum of money that was enough to make many people blush after Ning Liangcai's death, compared with his life, the importance of silver was still lower.

In the east of Wenyang City, the city gate was wide open, and a group of iron horsemen rushed out, and the earth was trampled by the horses' hooves with a roar. Fifteen miles out of the city, Fang Xinghan found a high ground with a wide field of vision, and ordered the soldiers to disarm and dismount, and stand by in place.

These Wenyang soldiers who have been accustomed to peaceful days for a long time are naturally smiling, and they all know it, if Song Taishou blames him, he will naturally have Fang Duwei in front of him.

Fang Xinghan didn't expect him to wait for most of the day.

The twenty-mile mountain road is not far away, even if Ning Yuan and the others are injured, it is enough to walk for half a day.

But Zhao Tianyang had to find the ink treasure written by Zhou Muzhi on the Thousand Crane Pavilion, he took Qi Zhipu and Wang Dameng, who were less injured, and searched for a long time, only found a few pieces of broken wood, and couldn't even spell out a whole word, and finally under Ning Yuan's few words of scolding, Zhao Tianyang gave up.

At dusk, the cold air was rising, and when the sun was about to wear away the last of Fang Xinghan's patience, Ning Yuan, who was dressed in rags and covered in mud, finally appeared in his sight.

If it weren't for the fact that Xinghan had a relationship with Ning Yuan in the Taishou Mansion three days ago, Fang Xinghan would never have thought that this group of clay figures who were limping and looking a little worse than Huazi had anything to do with the masters of Hongxuanzong.

But no matter what, the person who can come out of the bamboo spring forest alive must have an amazing art career, and it is definitely not comparable to other Xinghan.

Fang Xinghan, the five-rank military general, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fist at Ning Yuan and said: "The last general, Fang Xinghan, is waiting for the real person here for a long time on the order of Song Taishou, please go to the Taishou Mansion to talk about it!"

Ning Yuan, who had lost his immortal wind bones, grinned, "As long as Ning Yuan still has a breath left, he will naturally give Song Taishou an explanation! If Ning Yuan dies, Hongxuanzong will also give Song Taishou an explanation! Now that the python demon has escaped, Ning Yuan even has the face to go to Taishou's mansion to disturb him!"

Fang Xinghan was in a cold sweat when he heard this, Ning Yuan's tone was not shocked, but the words that came out of his mouth were definitely not good words, he didn't have time to carefully figure out Ning Yuan's thoughts, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to let a few good horses come out. His own yellow horse with strong feet, Fang Xinghan directly handed the reins to Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan didn't shirk it, after he took the reins, he first took the sleeping Gu Tiannan from Zhao Tianyang's back, and then helped Gu Tiannan onto the yellow horse with the appearance of a divine horse, and the two rode together.

Fang Xinghan deliberately lagged behind half a horse, followed next to Ning Yuan, and ordered two quick-hearted cavalrymen to rush back to the city first to tell Song Ye.

Stepping on the afterglow of the slanting sun, Ning Yuan took his seven disciples and finally embarked on the way home.

Fang Xinghan was a military general who had been fighting horses for half his life, and he didn't have those twists and turns when he spoke, and after walking for three or five miles, he said to Ning Yuan bluntly: "Ning Zhenren, it's a shame to say that Song Taishou ordered the last general to go to the Bamboo Spring Forest to check the situation as soon as it was dark this morning. Zai Xia is not greedy for life but also afraid of death, and he doesn't want the two hundred brothers behind him to die in vain, the thousand-year-old python demon is not at all something that we marching soldiers can hunt. Last month, my old brother Ning Liangcai and three hundred soldiers had no bones left in this bamboo spring forest, and he was hit by two knives and three arrows when he pacified Nanyi, and finally died in the mouth of a python demon. If you go into battle to kill the enemy, our Xinghan will not frown, but this kind of thing is to kill demons, and we can't use the strength of vulgar martial artists, and I hope that Ning Zhenren will forgive his sins. ”

Ning Yuan turned his head and glanced at Fang Xinghan, who was full of apprehension, and replied flatly: "Fang Duwei doesn't have to worry too much, it is the duty of Hongxuanzong to eliminate the demon guard, even if it is the purgatory of the Longtan Tiger's Den Demon Cave, we should give up our lives and forget about death." This is the Tao of Hongxuanzong. ”

Fang Xinghan bowed his head and said nothing, this is the Tao of Hongxuanzong, what is their "Dao" for the military soldiers to pacify the world and conquer the Quartet for the emperor?

Song Ye is an alternative to "businessmen entering the office", does he also have a "Tao"?

It was already twilight when Ning Yuan and the others stepped into the east gate of Wenyang City, and Song Yuan, who had not seen a smiling face for three months, could pull the corners of his mouth to the root of his ears at this time, and he had already been waiting at the city gate in person.

After listening to the return of the two cavalry under Fang Xinghan's command, Song Ye learned that a young disciple of Hongxuanzong was injured and in a coma, so he brought the carriage he usually cared in, and also invited three Lang Zhong with superb medical skills in the city to listen to the dispatch.

After seeing Ning Yuan, who was covered in mud and bloodstained on his chest, Song Ye hurriedly ran a few steps, stepped forward and grabbed the reins of Ning Yuan's mount, he first turned his head and threw a look at the butler, signaling the latter to carry Gu Tiannan into the carriage.

Then Song Ye opened his mouth and said: "Ning Zhenren is hard! Ning Zhenren is alone for the people of Wenyang, and he was injured, my parents are deeply ashamed! On weekdays, I always hear that the masters of Hongxuanzong are all heavenly golden immortals, and today I have to see Ning Zhenren's divine might, and I know that what I said is true!"

Ning Yuan watched Zhao Tianyang gently push away the butler and put Gu Tiannan into the carriage before he glanced at Song Ye under the horse and said, "Song Taishou's eyes are red, you must have stayed awake all night last night, and you have worked very hard!"

Song Ye didn't seem to hear any extraneous sounds, he looked up at Ning Yuan, and said with a smile: "Ning Zhenren is joking, the house has prepared wine and food, and I also ask Ning Zhenren and all the Hongxuanzong masters to recuperate in the mansion for a few days, and by the way, I will also tell you how to get rid of the hundred-zhang long python demon! I heard others say that Ning Zhenren borrowed the Heavenly Thunder ......."

"Hahahaha, how can Ning Mou be virtuous? The means of driving the heavenly thunder, it is estimated that Ning Mou will not be able to do it in the next life!" Before Song Ye could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Yuan's burst of laughter.

"Hongxuanzong borrowed the thunder of the sky to kill the python demon of the Taoist chief back to the city" The news spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the sky spread throughout Wenyang City before it was dark, and the teahouses and restaurants in the city hung up red lanterns one after another, and the little two bosses cried with joy, and the graceful women in the green building were full of spring breeze.

The python demon has been eliminated, and it is believed that the endless stream of tourists will return to this small city in the near future. When the guests come back, Yinliang will naturally follow.

Almost all the people in Wenyang City were a little happy, but the man in white who had been sitting in the "Ya Ming Xuan" all day was still staring at the door of the Taishou Mansion with an expressionless face, as if he wanted to take out the small teacup in his hand.

This person occupied a good position by the window on the street, but only ordered a pot of pineapple tea for fifteen yuan, and as the guests gradually took their seats, Xiao Er and the owner of the teahouse had the intention of chasing customers.

The expressionless man in white seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and directly threw five taels of silver on the table, signaling Xiao Er to take it away.

Xiao Er's face was suddenly full of flattery, and they gave a full five taels of silver, since the opening of their teahouse, they have never met such a generous guest, even if this distinguished guest sits here and drinks urine for a day, then let him go!

I don't know when, this quiet man in white has an extra woman with a beautiful mole at the corner of her mouth, and her body is so round and plump that people want to think about it.

This woman was born very charming, and a finely made Su embroidered red robe looks very valuable, this is probably the top brand in the green building!

The tea guests on the second floor cast envious eyes on the man in white, this guy was as thin as a bamboo pole, and ninety percent of them were tossed by this plump little lady.

What puzzles everyone is that this thin bamboo pole that is not shallow is actually sitting still, he only cares about playing with the teacup in his hand, as if the gorgeous beauty next to him does not exist at all, is it possible that the feel of this broken teacup can still be better than that plump little lady?

The plump little lady stretched out her head, lowered her voice and said: "Sir, the idea has a wound on his chest, his breath is weak, and his true qi is greatly damaged. The strength of the other seven cubs is no more than five or six grades, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

The man in white nodded and said, "Keep an eye on it, don't do it in the Taishou Mansion, with your skills, it is difficult to leave no traces." I won't do it unless I have to. This person and I have a relationship, if you have the chance, let him live! As for those little cubs, don't keep them alive! If you make a chicken and egg beat up in this matter, I don't need to tell you the consequences. ”

After speaking, a white shadow flashed through the window, and the man in white disappeared.

The red-robed lady stared at the door of the Taishou Mansion, stunned.
