Chapter 220: A Different Life
"Father, you want to take him under your door? This, that can't be. ”
"Shut up!"
Ximen Wang looked at Ximen Wenyu coldly, his son, "I know, you have a holiday with that kid, do you think I don't even know about the things you are doing in the Dushan Sect? ”
"Since he is the prince's person, then, I will offer to him, at will, one day, haha. ”
After saying this, Simon looked away and ignored his son, but when he came to the door, he turned back and said, "You and your fellow men should stay here, and there is no need to go." After dawn, I will repair a letter and ask His Majesty the Emperor to agree that you will stay here, even if it is an internship. Of course, I will also tell Xuanwei Zhenren that this child is not his, it is mine. ”
Sure enough, as soon as the sky was bright, a few soldiers came to the place where the prince stayed, they didn't enter the hospital, but just sent a letter, simply put, I heard that a friend of His Royal Highness the prince came, then I am very welcome, last night's matter has been dealt with, Yao Chang's death should be an accident, not a murder, he will definitely solve it well.
Moreover, I heard that Xu Chen used to be a disciple of the Dushan Sect, since this is the case, let them catch up with the same family, he Ximen Wang is definitely a generous person.
Except for the General's Mansion, the three of them were dumbfounded.
These three people are Lu Yin, Chu Yang and Xu Chen.
Under Lu Yin's treatment, Xu Chen gradually improved in only half an hour.
Listening to Lu Yin, his injury was not very serious, but he couldn't see the cause of the injury, just rest for a few days.
Moreover, to Lu Yin's surprise, Xu Chen's body recovered amazingly, and he only gave Xu Chen some ordinary painkillers, but the wounds on Xu Chen's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This made the national teacher of the empire very puzzled, and the two sides talked about what happened these days, and it was difficult to say a word.
Of course, Xu Chen didn't say anything about meeting the fox demon, because he had a secret in his heart, at that time, he released the fox demon, and all this was known only to him.
When they saw Ximen Wang's handwritten letter, the three of them looked at each other incomprehensibly, but, on the surface, it was over after all, and everything seemed to be normal again.
Xu Chen can come and go in Wuxian Town at will, and it seems that he is more free than before, and those fellow disciples of the Dushan Sect also have the opportunity to go to the border to take a look, and some people even live at the border.
Because, a few days later, Dushan Sect also sent a letter, not mentioning anything about Xu Chen, only saying that everything was sent by the general Ximen Wang.
All this, I don't know, makes it difficult for the soldiers of Wuxian Town to understand, and it also makes it incomprehensible to those who have witnessed these things.
However, who would dare to doubt the holy decree and the handwritten letter of the Xuanwei real person?
A month later.
After some boredom, Xu Chen embarked on a journey, saying that it was a journey, but it was only a dozen miles away, and he went to the military village that he secretly left last time, the military village closest to Beiqiang.
Moreover, he also took the task of the crown prince.
On that day, more than a dozen officers were waiting for their arrival outside the military village. The general of the military village naturally knew who this little gentleman was, but after the last festival and the order of the general, they really didn't know this person.
It's the prince's person, and it's the person who the general has ordered everything to let him go and serve him well, what is the origin of this person, it's not as simple as the prince's close guard, right?
Of course, fools can figure it out.
Xu Chen looked at the officers outside the walled city and smiled, jumped off the big black horse, first said a few polite words to the general, and then walked to the right, walked up to someone and said with a smile: "Are you used to staying here?"
The officer in front of him was a young girl, dressed in blue, covered in dust from the wasteland. She looked at Xu Chen and said with a smile: "Although it is not as comfortable as you, it is still used to it." ”
Xu Chen said with a smile: "If you don't get used to it, you have to get used to it, I told you before." ”
Then he noticed that Qi Er was also standing among the officers, and the fifteen-year-old boy had been blown away by the wind and sand on the side, and his posture seemed to be quite tall.
He looked at these people who had been on the front line for less than a month, but they seemed to have changed, and said with appreciation: "It's been a long time. ”
The general of the military village followed behind him, and when he saw that he didn't pay much attention to himself, he was a little displeased, thinking that even if you are a big man from the capital, but now you are in the military camp, what qualifications do you have.
However, when he heard this conversation, he immediately understood that this little gentleman was really a big man who was not easy to provoke - anyone who dared to speak like this to the daughter of an official eunuch and dared to pose to the disciples of the Dushan Sect was a real big man.
Many of the disciples of the Dushan Sect will be trained to become court officials in the future, not to mention, some of them are the children of official eunuchs.
The military village is located in the easternmost part of the Tang army's defense line, very close to the Qiang people, and can be said to be the most difficult place in the army.
After experiencing the real battlefield blood and fire career, experiencing life and death, young people will mature quickly, and it is precisely because of maturity that their enthusiasm for Xu Chen will inevitably be mixed with some admiration and a sense of distance, after all, Xu Chen is a disciple of the Blue Kite Pavilion, and at this time, he is a person that the general attaches great importance to, and their identity and status have been greatly distanced.
On the shore of the very blue lake in the northwest, Leng Xue took out a handkerchief and wet it, wiped the dust off his forehead, looked back at the silent Xu Chen and asked, "Not used to being hugged by the front and back?"
Xu Chen walked to the lakeside, looked at the shadow of the 10,000-year-old Chen Mu at the bottom of the lake, and said with a smile: "Being hugged by the front and back? ”
Leng Xue stood up, handed him the handkerchief, and said, "But I saw that you were smiling quite reluctantly. ”
Xu Chen wiped his face and said, "In the past, these classmates ignored me, but now they ...... As a result, now I speak so respectfully, the contrast is too great, and I can't adapt to it. ”
"So you want to walk around the lake with me alone?"
"Yes. ”
"The army is the place where the most class-paying is concerned, military orders are like mountains, as long as it is a superior, no matter whether the military orders issued by him are justified or not, whether you think this is a death or not, you must ride a horse and rush forward. ”
Leng Xue looked at him and said, "Senior Brother Xiao Leng, is he really dead?"
Hearing such an abrupt sentence, Xu Chen was suddenly startled, "Maybe." However, you must not tell anyone else about the Heavenly Volcano, otherwise you will ......"
"Hmph, I'm not stupid. It's just that everything is changing too fast, and before, you were still ...... But now ......"
Maybe it's because there's too much to say, or maybe it's hard to express.
During that period of time in the Heavenly Volcano, she saw Xu Chen's performance, not cultivation, but for her, she didn't know how to describe that kind of feeling.
Yes, although she is still the girl who obeys her master's orders, she is also herself.
Xu Chen looked at her and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to choose to come to the military village, and you are doing such a beautiful job here, don't you want to see me in Wuxian Town?"
Leng Xue was sassy and heroic, without the slightest arrogance, and said: "In the end, I am still an ordinary person, how can I compare it with national events, no matter why I came this time, but if the ordinary Qiang people really go to war, no matter what the result is, it is the people who suffer." Although cultivators should stop thinking, but what about watching the blood of the people flow all over the ground?"
"Actually, I've always wondered what kind of person you are. ”
Leng Xue turned around by the lake, her eyebrows slowly raised, she looked at Xu Chen's face with great interest, and said, "I rarely see Shizun have such a high evaluation of people, you are in my family, not you are in the Bai family?
"I am indeed a little proud to be evaluated by my master like this. ”
Xu Chen unconsciously looked into the distance, it was the direction of the capital, and it was also the direction of the Dushan Sect, although he was no longer a disciple of the Dushan Sect at this time, how could he forget the love of Lin Lingsu and Wanxu at that time.
Xu Chen walked back to the east, along the fine round white stone by the lake, and said self-deprecatingly: "The world is impermanent, maybe there are some things that I shouldn't have thought about or done." ”
Leng Xue looked at his back and shook his head.
Xu Chen quietly looked at the blue lake, at the trees and white clouds in the reflection of the water in the distance, and at the depths of the wasteland that could not be seen by the naked eye in the distance.
Being in the wasteland, smelling the smell of horse manure in the wind, and the smell of those slightly scorched and burning grass, he felt that he was no longer himself, and that hatred should be suppressed, but not forgotten.
The slender sword-like sword of the lake around the military village stretches from here to the depths of the wasteland in the far north, and there is no end in sight. Because the lake is so deep, it has a faint blue luster, like a sapphire that has been melted and condensed into silk.
"It's a salty lake, and the water is not drinkable, so I didn't camp here. ”
Leng Xue looked at him quietly looking at the lake, raised his arm and pointed to the mountains and forests on the lake in the distance, and said, "When the Qiang rangers invaded the south in the past, they all came out of that mountain forest, and it was very sudden. However, in recent days, no steppe people have dared to approach here. ”
Xu Chen looked at the faintly visible forest in the fog and asked, "Can you go over now?"
"After crossing the mountain forest, we arrived, and in order to avoid trouble, we didn't go there much, and of course they didn't come much, and there was a tacit understanding between the two sides to ignore it. ”
"Have you seen those people?"
"Who?"
"A cultivator of Beiqiang. ”
Leng Xue shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it." However, after encountering the rangers a few days ago, the army sent troops to expel the tribe, and met a Taoist priest who resembled the Han Chinese. ”
Listening to the word Taoist, Xu Chen turned around and asked, "Then what?"
Leng Xue thought about the scene of that day, still a little angry, and said with a sneer: "There is no then, it's just an image, maybe the Qiang people also have cultivators." ”
The life in the military village is very boring, of course, the soldiers here enjoy this kind of boring days very much, after all, in addition to boredom, it is desperate.
After a few days, Xu Chen finally couldn't bear such a boring life anymore, and secretly took out a big black horse, avoiding the sight of dozens of inseparable cavalrymen, and went out of the military village to the blue lake to relax.
There were no more dozens of cavalry not far behind him as the second sun, Xu Chen walked farther today, ran east along the Bihu Lake for two or three miles, and stopped at a quiet lakeside.
He unloaded the heavy bag from the big black horse and slapped it hard on the buttocks.
It was rare for the big black horse to have such a good time of relaxation, and with a roar of joy, splashing black mud with his hooves, he rushed into the lake, and then retreated to the shore of the lake with a low and angry roar at a faster speed.
It trembled slightly, purring its thick tongue and rumbling its lips, obviously frozen by the cold water, and the taste of salty water was really bad.
The big black horse shook his horse's head in dissatisfaction, kicked his hind hooves, shook off the icy lake water on his body, and ran in the direction he pointed.
