In the cold wind, the wheels crushed against the withered yellow leaves, crushing them into finer, and then floating up on the road behind.

A carriage with a thick black cotton cover wrapped in windproof carriages slowly drove towards a post station on the outskirts of Changling.

Around the post station, there were many swordsmen of the Terracotta Division, these swordsmen who were dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, but wore the military's Xuantie long sword at their waists, looked at the carriage that was coming in the thick autumn mood, and frowned in unison.

They knew very well who the man in the carriage was, and they were wary and uneasy at the thought of the fact that this man would survive the brutal slaughter of that night, and the purpose of this man's coming.

In silence, the carriage stopped at the main entrance of the inn.

Wang Taixu, who was wearing a black brocade robe, walked out of the carriage, took away his collar a little fearfully, bowed politely to these swordsmen, and then stepped into the gate of the post station.

Yu looked at Lamei outside the window suddenly, his gray hair was combed to the roots, even if he was wearing the most ordinary civilian clothes, anyone who saw his posture at this time could quickly determine that he must be a general who had been in battle for a long time and was dyed with gold and iron by swords.

"You shouldn't have come at all. ”

It wasn't until Wang Taixu walked behind him that the important official of the Soldiers and Horses Division turned around slowly, looked at Wang Taixu majestically and coldly, and said: "If you can survive such a night, your luck is already excellent, and you should enjoy the hard-won rest of your life." ”

Wang Taixu looked at this high-ranking official, shook his head, and said, "General Yu, your words are wrong, I was able to survive that night, not because of luck, but because there were many people who died for me." ”

Yu Gu's face was slightly cold.

Wang Taixu coughed lightly, took out several case files from his sleeve, and handed them to Yu Gu.

Yu Gu already knew what was recorded in these files, so he didn't pick it up immediately, but said in a deep voice: "Are you really sure you want to do this?"

Wang Taixu laughed and said softly: "In the eyes of many nobles, the small fish and shrimp in our market are things that can be crushed to death at any time and washed away by a rain, but each of my dead brothers has a home, both old and young. If I don't do anything, my heart is uneven, and there is no point in living. ”

Yu Gu glanced at him, took the case file in his hand, and slowly unfolded it, the more he looked at it, the colder his face became.

"This is enough to get many officials to go to prison, we still have a lot of them, begging for a living in Changling, how many officials have not done shady business, have not received black money?" Wang Taixu looked at Yu Gu calmly, "Originally, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and I will not care about other people's roads, but some of you have crossed the line." ”

"Enough!"

Yu Gu sneered and put away the case file and threw it into the brazier on the side, "Tell me about your conditions." ”

Wang Taixu looked at him calmly and said, "The only big business that your Soldiers and Horses Division can decide now in Changling is to unpack the warehouse and build mines. ”

Yu Gu laughed disdainfully.

He didn't answer Wang Taixu's words at all.

Just the unpacking and transportation of the countless warehouses of the Changling Terracotta Division is the business of countless silver taels every year. And some copper and iron mining, the manufacture and procurement of armor, the casting of swords... How much staggering profit is included in these businesses?

This is simply the lion's mouth so wide that even his own mouth is cracked.

Wang Taixu didn't say much, coughed lightly twice, stood up and left.

After he had already walked more than ten steps, Yu Gucai looked at his back coldly, and said in a slightly cold voice: "Even if you don't spare your life, even if you still have many people who can die for you, but you think about your identity, do you think such a request is possible?"

Hearing this, Wang Taixu turned his head, and a sincere smile appeared on his pale face.

"There was also a young man in the wine shop who escaped the assassination of your military master that night, you should know better than me what kind of opponent he killed, and you should also know that his cultivation time is very short. ”

He looked at Yu Gu with a smile and said slowly: "Just as I was on my way here, I received a message that he finally won the sacrificial sword trial in the White Sheep Cave and the Qingteng Sword Academy, and became the top three disciples. If a month ago, it was said that such a young man in a liquor store would have escaped such an assassination, and that there would be such an astonishing progress, who would have thought that it would be possible?"

"Since it's all possible, there's nothing impossible for me to do it. ”

After saying this with a smile, Wang Taixu turned around resolutely, and no longer looked at the face of the high-ranking officer of the Soldiers and Horses Division behind him.

A swordsman in his thirties walked out of the side door behind Yu Gu, bowed to Yu Gu, looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and asked, "General, do you want to kill him?"

"No, you don't. ”

Yu Gu, whose face had regained his calmness, shook his head, "Negotiating this kind of thing, it was originally a matter of one party negotiating the price very high, and the other side slowly repaying it, Wang Taixu's attitude at this meeting shows that he understands where the boundaries are, he did not ask more people to pay for his life, but just used the way of pressing this matter to ask for more benefits in Changling, so that he and his subordinates will have a deeper foundation in Changling in the future, and it will be safer." ”

"And we have enough things going on now, if there is more chaos, maybe many people above will not be able to keep their positions. ”

Yu Gu pondered for a moment, looked at the solemn swordsman and ordered: "You go and check the news of that young man in the Aries Cave, if it is really consistent with what Wang Taixu said, he is indeed a talent." ”

......

Qingteng Sword Academy, Li Daoji, Duanmu Lian, Xue Wangxu, Di Qingmei... Some important figures from the Aries Cave and the Qingteng Sword Academy waited on the mountain road for the final victorious trio to greet them.

Zhang Yi walked in the forefront, he walked in front of these people, and first saluted peacefully.

Ding Ning and Nangong Caishu also saluted, and everyone returned the salute.

Ding Ning looked up at Li Daoji, whose expression was still serious, and first thanked him: "Uncle Li Daoji, thank you for your sword." ”

Li Daoji raised his eyebrows, he seemed to think that there was no need for Ding Ning to thank him like this, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said out loud: "You did a good job, you didn't waste this sword." ”

"The most important thing is not to waste your mind. Ding Ning smiled slightly, and turned his head to look at Xue Wangxu, who was smiling: "Thank you Cave Master Xue for your special case and giving me the opportunity to practice in the spiritual vein." ”

"This is the reward you deserve, and you don't need to thank me. If you want to thank you, thank Dean Di, the green fat jade pearl he gave you will be more useful in the future. Xue Wangxu glanced at Nangong Caishu with satisfaction, and then said this to Ding Ning.

Ding Ning saw something from the expressions of him and Di Qingmei, so he also smiled and bowed, and thanked Di Qingmei in particular: "Thank you, Dean Di." ”

Di Qingmei's expression was not the most natural, but he still sincerely returned the salute and said softly: "I am very satisfied with a student like you." ”

Most of the beings in the outer courtyard who watched the ceremony did not disperse, and after such a necessary process, many people gathered.

"Brother-in-law. ”

Xie Changsheng, who was about the same age as Ding Ning, was the first to come to Ding Ning's side, and said with great admiration: "Your performance is really relieving, I have to admit that my sister really has more vision than me." ”

"Don't call me brother-in-law. Ding Ning's face was suddenly embarrassed.

"Don't mess around!"

Xie Rou said lightly, she walked in front of Ding Ning, bowed seriously, lowered her head and asked softly, "Will you participate in next year's Minshan Sword Meeting?"

Ding Ning didn't understand what she meant by asking this question, and hesitated: "It should be." ”

"In this case, I will also try my best to participate in the Minshan Sword Club. Xie Rou replied softly.

Xie Changsheng was stunned: "Sister, do you want to win in the Minshan Sword Club with him, and then get the opportunity to study in the Minshan Sword Sect together?"

Xie Rou didn't answer him, but the slight flush on her fair neck revealed her thoughts.

"It's good to take your time and have a relationship over time. Xie Changsheng pinched his nose and said admiringly.

"There's no need to expect anything from me. ”

However, Ding Ning's gaze fell on the sword on his waist, his face quickly became cold and hard, covered with frost that rejected people thousands of miles away, he left directly, and left a sentence coldly: "As for the reason, Nangong Caishu knows." ”

"What is the reason?"

Xu Heshan, Xie Changsheng and the others couldn't understand and looked at Nangong Caishu. Xie Changsheng's eyes even surged with extreme consternation, "Nangong Caishu, could it be that you and him have only studied together for one night in the Scroll Cave, and then they have developed feelings for each other and made a private decision for life?"

"Don't be so naïve!"

Nangong Caishu's face sank, she looked at the back of Ding Ning leaving, and knew that since Ding Ning said that, she would naturally allow her to tell these people the reason, so she took a deep breath and said softly: "Because his body itself has a problem, it is a rare body that is difficult to return to, if there is no special chance, in our strongest prime, his body has five decays." ”

Xie Changsheng was stunned, he really admired Ding Ning's performance, so he couldn't even tell a joke at the moment.

"Even if he has such a physical problem, I will not change my decision. Xie Rou bit her lip, "I'll do my best to help him." ”

"I have already understood that this kind of premature aging body with too much qi is generally not cured at all. But the Minshan Sword Sect is not an ordinary sect, so some people in the sect may have a way. ”

Nangong Caishu looked at her, Xie Changsheng and the others and nodded, and said, "If you really think of a way, you will try your best to help him win in the Minshan Sword Club in the future." ”

"It's too hard. Xu Heshan shook his head worriedly.

The Minshan Sword Club will be in the midsummer of the next year, and it will only be half a year from now on, even if Ding Ning has such a cultivation speed and has already performed like this, but thinking of the performance of those monsters in the Minshan Sword Club in previous years, he still has no confidence.

"He's fighting for his life, and we're doing our best. Nangong Caishu nodded and said solemnly.

"Okay, Minshan Sword Club, we'll do our best!"

Xie Changsheng, Xu Heshan, and Xie Rou stretched out their hands and slapped each other.

It seems ridiculous to encourage each other so solemnly so that others can win.

However, it is about life, and it is to make something that seems impossible possible, but the atmosphere at this time is solemn and abnormal.
