Chapter 187: Barbarian Capital, Wolf Mountain

"Many sects said that the Northern Liang Army was going to raid their homes and have already started to rebel!"

"..."

There was no need for subordinates to report. Standing on the high ground of Pi Yue Villa, one could see fires breaking out everywhere in Liangzhou City.

There are only two Martial Saints.

However, there are still quite a few sects that have Xuan Xiang in charge.

Such a sudden disturbance would cause a lot of trouble.

Not to mention, there were enemy attacks outside the city.

"Chu Shixiong!"

"You lead the three divisions of troops to surround Pi Yue Villa. Calm them down and explain what's going on. You must control the situation before dawn."

"Front and center troops, follow me to the Great Wall!"

"..."

In chaos.

The most terrifying thing is chaos. Once chaos breaks out, no matter how many soldiers you have, it will be useless.

Now, the only camp that can mobilize the fastest in the city is the Hongze Camp.

The rest of the Xuanwu Camp and others all require time, so it would be better for them to stay and quell the chaos in the city.

"grown ups!"

Xia Cong reported: "Three fires, three piles of firewood, there must be more than two thousand people attacking!"

"Keep investigating and report back! I want to know their exact location!"

"Report——"

"There is a gap in the northwest corner of the Great Wall. More than a thousand barbarian cavalry have poured into the Great Wall and are now burning, killing and looting in the Fengxi Village area!"

"..."

"The central army will go to the gap to block the retreat route!"

"The vanguard troops will head to Fengxi Village immediately!"

……

Maple Creek Village.

There is a dilapidated house at the end of the village.

inside the house.

A woman was sewing patches on torn clothes in the dim candlelight.

"Whoo~"

As if she felt a little sorry for the candle, she gently blew out the flame and continued sewing in the moonlight, but she looked out the window from time to time, looking absent-minded.

"hiss……"

As expected, the needle tip pierced the finger.

The woman didn't care. She just put her finger to her mouth and continued sewing after the bleeding stopped. However, her movements became more and more anxious. Finally, she couldn't calm down anymore, so she simply put down her things and stood up.

"Why hasn't my brother come back yet?"

Su Wen and her younger brother have depended on each other since childhood.

My younger brother Su Can doesn't like studying.

Now that he had saved enough money, he bought a bow and arrow, and followed the example of the elders in the village to become a hunter in the mountains.

Just today...

You haven’t come back yet so late.

I heard that there are a lot of big beasts and black blind men in the mountains, and there is also a kind of ferocious beast with red and poisonous eyes. Many people in the village have suffered recently. What if my brother... we won't be able to live like this anymore.

Thinking like this.

Su Wen opened the window, leaned half of her body out, and stared straight at the village entrance, but she could not see anyone.

Just as she was getting anxious, a hand suddenly patted her shoulder.

"what!"

"Brother?!"

"You scared me to death!"

"Why is there no movement after you come back?"

"..."

Su Wen looked at the familiar boy and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The young boy Su Can carried a bow and arrow on his back, a rabbit in his left hand, and a pheasant in his right hand: "Sister, there is meat to eat!"

"Don't come back so late next time. You're going to scare me to death."

"Don't worry, sis."

Su Can took off his equipment and said, "I have inquired about it. It is too difficult to join a sect to practice martial arts. I plan to join the army in a while, first in the Liangzhou Guard. If I perform well later, I can directly join the Northern Liang Army.

“Maybe, there’s still a chance to join the Hongze Camp and follow that general.

"After we join the Hongze Camp, our lives will be better! Then, my sister will be able to marry a good man."

"You want to join the army?"

Su Wen was just worried: "Brother, haven't you heard that the war is about to start? Joining the army at this time..."

"It's okay, sis."

The young man said confidently: "If we can really enter the Hongze Camp, there is no way we will lose the battle."

"Then..."

"Okay, sister, how can you survive without martial arts these days? I know what's going on. I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?"

"I'll cook for you right away."

"..."

Su Can picked up the bowl and chopsticks and was about to eat when the table suddenly vibrated.

wrong……

The whole house, the whole village was shaking!
"Da da da--"

What followed was the deafening sound of horse hooves and the frightened shouts of the villagers.

"Barbarian!"

"The barbarians are attacking!"

"..."

Screams, hideous laughs, sounds of swords and weapons, sounds of fire, all kinds of noisy sounds mixed together, and in just a short time, the originally peaceful village was transformed into a hell on earth.

"Barbarian!"

Su Can gritted his teeth.

then.

Their parents died in the same turmoil!
"Sister, go quickly!"

Su Can grabbed the bow and arrow and dragged his sister out.

The same is true for neighbors.

Many villagers were awakened from their deep sleep and hurried to the city with their wives and children.

"Sister, you are going to the city too!"

"Brother, what are you doing?!"

Su Wen stretched out her hand but caught nothing, and watched helplessly as her brother rushed into the sea of ​​fire with a bow and arrow in hand.

……

"Girl!"

The middle-aged man watched his daughter being abducted by the barbarians and put on horseback, and he picked up a fork and was ready to fight.

But he was no match for the martial artist and was instead knocked away.

"An eyesore!"

A barbarian glared at it and swung the scimitar in his hand, ready to cut it in half.

Just at this moment, a black snake flashed by and pierced his throat directly, causing the half-raised scimitar to freeze for a moment, then fall to the ground with a "bang", and the whole person fell off the horse's back.

"Su Can?"

The middle-aged man turned around and saw the young man holding a bow in the firelight.

"Uncle Xu!"

Su Can shouted loudly: "Take Ling'er away quickly, the city will definitely send someone over!"

"Okay, I understand."

The middle-aged man carried his daughter who had fainted due to excessive shock: "Canzi, what about you?!"

The boy did not answer, but plunged into the fire with his bow and arrow.

"Shhhhh-"

Arrows continued to shoot out.

Every time I hit the barbarian right in the throat.

Soon, more than a dozen lives were taken.

Su Can's eyes were like an eagle's, and he kept drawing the bow and shooting arrows.

Soon, it attracted the attention of the barbarians.

A barbarian in the bone training realm rode his horse and charged towards the young man.

"Shhhhh-"

Su Can shot several arrows in succession.

However, all of them were blocked by the round shield in the opponent's hand.

Seeing the barbarian approaching, he bent down, picked up a long knife and chopped at him.

All of a sudden.

The young man felt as if he had collided head-on with a mountain. The bones in his arm were broken inch by inch, and the long sword flew out of his hand several feet away. He himself was hit hard against the wall, and he felt that his internal organs were shattered. Blood gushed out of his mouth several times, and he fell to the ground, unable to move.

The blade light appeared in front of him.

Just now.

Dragon roar sounded.

There was a loud bang, as if a black dragon was roaring past, and the entire head of the barbarian general exploded. Red and white things fell like heavy rain, covering Su Can's body.

"Boom!"

With a silent sound, the black dragon fell beside him.

It was an arrow with a black luster.

Looking in the direction from which the arrow came, he saw in the chaotic purgatory of fire and light an agile figure sitting on a white horse, slowly drawing his bow. He glanced at him with the corner of his eye and then rode away. The spear in his hand shone with silver light, and all the barbarians fell off their horses wherever he passed, until he completely disappeared at the end of the darkness.

"Northern Liang Army!"

"The Northern Liang Army is coming!"

"It's Chen Sanshi from Hongze Camp!"

"..."

The villagers who fell into the quagmire of panic shouted as if they were grabbing a life-saving straw.

The Northern Liang army was like the scorching sun that dispelled the dark clouds.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

The barbarians in Fengxi Village were wiped out.

"Mingdy!"

"Order the Central Army of the Great Wall to tighten the encirclement and not let any one escape!"

"..."

"drive!"

Chen Sanshi spurred his horse to speed up, and the longbow in his hand hummed as he continued to reap the lives of the barbarians. When he got excited about killing, he simply charged into the crowd with his spear. Everywhere he looked were enemies, and he swept his spear in all directions. The stirring of his inner energy was like a tornado, and he was unstoppable as if he was in an empty space.

Hundreds of barbarian cavalry were terrified.

The last such terrifying person in the Northern Liang army was Lu Ji!
It is said that this person is good at archery.

What a terrifying shooting skill!
Blood rain and knife light.

Chen Sanshi didn't know how many people he had killed, but he just stabbed anyone he saw. He didn't stop until the armor of the people around him changed to a different style and color.

look back.

The ground is full of bandits.

"grown ups!"

Xia Cong reported: "The gap in the Great Wall has been blocked, and the barbarian cavalry that managed to get in has been completely wiped out! Should we return to the city or..."

"Stay at the Great Wall!"

Chen Sanshi gave the order.

Inside the city, the eldest brother and his men are handling the matter, and the more important matter is the Great Wall.

"Yes!"

"..."

soon.

Chen Sanshi came to the city tower at the north gate of Changcheng Town.

He stood on the edge of the city wall and saw the barbarian cavalry retreating one after another several miles away. It seemed that they had no intention of continuing to attack the city. The previous attack was probably just a test.

Until dawn.

Several night raiders came back.

"grown ups!"

"We discovered a new barbarian camp in the Tiger Hill area!"

“There are also some in the area of ​​the Agate River.”

"..."

"..."

After the intelligence is gathered.

Basically, we can know that the barbarians are pressing forward on all fronts in the north.

However, the specific information is not clear yet.

"Probe again and report again!"

"Find out exactly how many troops are there in the Tiger Hill area and who is in charge."

"Yes!"

"..."

It was almost noon.

News came back from the city.

The unrest in various sects has basically subsided.

However, Shao Yujing, Wen Zhi, and many high-level Xuanxiang warriors all disappeared, and no one knew where they went. It all happened too suddenly. If it had not been discovered in time that these people were under control, and if they had been left in the rear after the war broke out, there might have been a lot of trouble.

"..."

Chen Sanshi recalled.

Last night, almost at the same time when the sect's clues were discovered, an enemy attack occurred outside the Great Wall.

Basically certain.

There must be a connection between the two.

I'm afraid this Northern Expedition can't be delayed any longer.

"grown ups!"

"Your Highness summoned the commanders of the fourteenth battalion to return to the city for a meeting."

……

Thousands of miles away.

Tiandu City.

Yuwen, Murong, Tuoba and Duan are the four powerful rulers of the desert.

They are both barbarians, but they have not actually been in harmony for thousands of years.

Fighting between them is common, and both sides want to swallow up each other.

It was not until the past hundred years that, in order to fight against Da Sheng and encroach on the more fertile land of the Central Plains, they gradually united together and formed the Grassland Alliance. Whenever there was a war against Da Sheng, they would go to war together and retreat together.

But even so, people's hearts are still hidden and they can't avoid scheming against each other.

But at this moment.

Today.

The four great khans gathered together in an unprecedented way.

The wolf lives in Xushan!

Grasslands and deserts are also divided into barren areas and rich areas.

The Yinshan Mountains are the dividing line between the north and south of the desert.

South of the mountains, the climate is relatively mild and suitable for grazing cattle and sheep.

The reason why the barbarians can become increasingly powerful is that they rely on the rich resources south of the desert.

Langjuxu Mountain is one of the mountains in the Yinshan Mountain Range. It is rumored that in ancient times, thousands of monsters gathered here. It was not until a divine wolf descended from the sky to drive away the monsters that the human race was able to reproduce and thrive here.

Therefore, this place is a holy place in the minds of the four barbarian tribes.

Its status is equivalent to that of Ziwei Mountain to the people in the Central Plains.

This day.

The Khans of the four barbarian tribes rarely met together.

Climb the mountain here to worship your ancestors!
"Three hundred years ago!"

"My Celestial Clan has ruled the Central Plains for over a hundred years!"

“I never thought about it!”

"The Grand Ancestor Cao Xie suddenly appeared, forcing our Celestial Clan to retreat back to the desert and suffer humiliation for three hundred years!"

"But that's it!"

Among the four tribes on the grassland, Tuoba was the most powerful.

Tuoba Khan raised his wine bowl and said to the other three Khans: "The prosperous dynasty is corrupt and has run out of luck!

“This time we have the help of the Wushen Cult and the Ancient Demon Clan’s Immortal Master!
“Not only can we take back the Central Plains!

“It is even possible to wash the Central Plains with blood and embark on the path of immortality!

"From now on, the people of the Central Plains will never raise their heads again!"

"That Emperor Shengren is so ridiculous!"

Yuwen Khan sneered: "If he hadn't helped Yunzhou for ten days, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to open a crack in the seal of heaven and earth through blood sacrifice and get the help of the ancient demon immortal masters!"

"Yes."

Murong Khan followed up by saying, “The old emperor of Shengren would do anything to live two more years. Millions of people, tsk tsk, even if it means killing cattle and sheep, we have to spend some effort.”

"He succeeded, and his life was extended by twenty years, so he can continue to pursue his immortal path."

Khan Duan sneered, "It's a pity that his kingdom may not last that long."

"The Immortal Master of the Ancient Demon Clan said so."

Tuoba Khan said: "The key this time lies in Sun Xiangzong!"

“That’s why the Great Master built the center of the blood sacrifice formation at the end of this evil vein. After the formation and the evil vein are revived and activated, even someone with the surname Sun will be helpless.”

"Congratulations to the Celestial Clan!"

"Congratulations!"

Just as the Khan was offering wine to the heaven, at the edge of the altar, the high priest of the Wushen Cult, who was dressed in a fluttering black robe, seemed to sense something. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his expression became cold and solemn.

"This……"

"High Priest."

Tuoba Khan asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Extreme Yin Gu."

The high priest said in a deep voice: "The hidden man buried in the city has been exposed."

"How could it be exposed?!"

Yuwen Khan asked nervously, "Will it have any impact on the grand plan?"

"Nothing serious."

The high priest said coldly: "The blood sacrifice is almost ready, so why not start it early."

……

Liangzhou City.

The Sixth Prince Cao Huan gathered the commanders of the fourteen battalions of the Northern Liang Army together in front of a huge sand table to discuss what happened last night and how to arrange the next battle.

"This time."

Cao Huan said, "Thanks to General Chen for discovering the clues of the various sects in the city in advance! I never thought that these sect leaders themselves are the biggest culprits. If they are left in the city after the war, the consequences will be disastrous!

"General Sun has not yet returned to Liangzhou City. Today, I invited all the generals here to discuss what to do next.

"The original plan was to march north in the spring five months later. After what happened last night, do you think we should continue with the status quo, or make some changes?"

"Naturally, we have to stick to the original plan."

The commander of the Sky Eagle Camp stood up and said, "As we all know, the barbarians are mainly nomadic. In late autumn, when there is plenty of grass and the men and horses are strong, it is their strongest period. On the contrary, in winter, their food and grass will be scarce. After a period of consumption, they are often at their weakest in the early spring of the following year.

"On the other hand, our Northern Liang army began stockpiling food and fodder several years in advance, so we don't have such concerns at all.

“Wait until next spring.

"Use my strength to attack the enemy's weakness. As one gains, the other loses. I will surely be able to win with one strike!"

"General Lee is right!"

"I agree with General Lee."

Several commanders echoed this.

"General Lu!"

Cao Huan called out to the generals and said, "Among those present, you have the longest seniority and the most experience in the army. What do you think should happen next?"

"In my opinion."

Lu Ji said calmly, "What happened last night was definitely not a coincidence. Coupled with their actions on the front line, it means they must have a bigger plan. If we continue to drag it out, we will be led by them and be passive. It is better to take the initiative and attack them unexpectedly."

"General Chen."

Cao Huan asked again: "What do you think?"

Everyone glanced over.

Chen Sanshi today.

He is already one of the most prestigious figures in the Beiliang army.

"I agree with General Lu."

Chen Sanshi said frankly: "Let's start early. What do you think, General Fang?"

"Ah."

Due to Fang Qingyun's health reasons, he is scheduled to stay in Liangzhou City this time.

He nodded slightly. "Not only do we know that the barbarians are weak in spring, they also know it. They dare to come to the front line at this time, which means they must be prepared. Taking them by surprise is indeed the best choice."

"Mr. Xu."

Cao Huan shifted his gaze.

Xu Wencai waved his feather fan and said quietly, "I think it's time to take action."

"..."

"..."

finally.

Conservative and offensive each account for half.

However, those who agreed to attack were famous people like Chen Sanshi and Lu Ji.

At last.

Cao Huan slammed the table and said, "Before General Sun returns, I will temporarily take over the position of commander-in-chief and have the power to make decisions. I have not fought many battles, but I also know that the opportunity for war cannot be missed.

"Pass the order down, 200,000 troops from the Northern Territory are ready to go!
"One month later, we'll set out for the grassland!

"Then, let's discuss how to fight this battle."

"..."

A dozen generals started discussing.

The conclusion is that Tiger Hill must be taken first. This hill has a special location.

If we continue to advance thousands of miles, we will need an anchor point to stabilize the transportation of food and fodder.

Tiger Hill is the best choice.

But so far.

No one had a clear idea of ​​the barbarian troop deployment at Tiger Hill. They only knew that the prime minister of the Yuwen tribe was stationed there.

"The information brought back by the scouts and night guards may not be completely accurate. They are also very clear that the art of war is based on deception. This war concerns the fate of the country, so we cannot be careless."

Cao Huan said, "If I remember correctly, Tiger Hill is located in the area you are responsible for observation. You should be most familiar with the geographical terrain there. Five days later, you can select 800 light cavalry to go and test it, okay?"

"no problem."

Chen Sanshi agreed.

That's exactly what he meant.

An important military and political meeting lasted until the hour of Xu.

By the time the generals left the palace, it was already pitch black outside.

Moreover, starting today, there is a curfew in Liangzhou City, making it even quieter.

"My fellow disciples."

Fang Qingyun appeared at the end of the street: "Don't leave yet, the war is imminent, let's get together as a family."

"Good good!"

Meng Guangxin was overjoyed: "I remember you hid a jar of good wine before, it's time to take it out!"

"Let's go."

Cheng Wei said, "We brothers don't have much time to meet each other."

"I killed a Zouwu."

Chen Sanshi said, "Send someone to get it as a snack."

Ten brothers walked together in twos and threes.

In terms of martial arts realm alone, Chen Sanshi is actually the weakest. His senior brothers and sisters have all reached the perfect Xuanxiang realm, but are stuck at the bottleneck of Martial Saint.

Arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

Sun Buqi and Sun Li were also there.

"All I'm missing is a master."

Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan whispered: "We are now truly reunited."

"Not good."

Meng Guangxin said carelessly: "It's been a long time since I last saw Master."

“It’s been rare in the last five or six years.”

"..."

Chen Sanshi had just seen his master, but he didn't know where his master was or what he was doing.

"Generals, the banquet will be held in Angelica Courtyard."

A maid led the way.

I saw.

The banquet was not prepared inside the house, but was placed under the osmanthus tree in the center of the courtyard, with many green plants and bonsai on both sides, and a bright moon hanging in the night sky overhead.

An old man with white hair and beard sat on the main seat.

"Master?!"

Everyone showed surprise.

But soon, the surprise disappeared.

Because they noticed.

The master's face looked extremely bad, as if not two years had disappeared, but another twenty years had passed in his body. With layers of vicissitudes and aging, he looked like... dying.

"Master?!"

Everyone said in unison.

Ye Fengxiu, who was always taciturn, threw down the sword in his arms and rushed forward: "What's wrong with you?"

The fellow disciples gathered together.

"You want to block me to death?"

Sun Xiangzong waved his hand impatiently: "Everyone, get out of here."

Everyone had no choice but to do as they were told.

"Master."

Only Rong Yanqiu stayed by his side: "What's wrong with you?"

"I am exactly one hundred years old this year."

Sun Xiangzong said as a matter of course: "Is it abnormal to be older? How many of you here can live longer than me?"

This is true.

Everyone still felt uncomfortable, but the atmosphere was getting better.

The steward of the Governor's Mansion brought a jar of wine and began to pour it for everyone one by one.

"This wine is a spiritual wine."

Sun Xiangzong said slowly: "Not only will you get drunk if you drink it, but even if you digest it through Qigong, your meridians will ache for several days.

"Ten of you, perform your own cultivation techniques for me one by one. For every flaw I find, you will drink a bowl.

"Boss, let's start with you."

"Yes, Master."

Lu Ji picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji and performed a set of vigorous and powerful halberd techniques.

Then the second and third...

All the way to the fifteenth-year-old Chen Sanshi.

Yes, in terms of ranking, he was actually the fifteenth disciple, and there were five senior brothers before him, all of whom died in a battle.

"Second brother, your shooting skills are still shit. Drink five bowls."

"Third brother, your swordsmanship is too impatient. Drink four bowls."

"old……"

"Sixth Brother, don't hold it in. How could I not know that you're back? You're still the same as before. I told you long ago that you were suitable for practicing with the short sword, but you insisted on practicing with the Mo Dao. Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? Drink up! Five bowls. No matter how painful it is, bear it!"

"Xiaojiu, you are good. Drink three bowls."

"Not bad, do you want to drink it?"

Rong Yanqiu froze with the iron whip in his hand.

"Drink if you're told to!"

"Chen Sanshi! Get lost. I don't want to watch you practice."

"..."

Chen Sanshi, who had already prepared his spear, withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

"Cough cough cough..."

A gust of night wind blew by, and Sun Xiangzong put his fist to his mouth and coughed softly: "Alright, this is all you have achieved, far less than someone my age, sit down and eat.

"Girl, come here too."

He looked at Sun Li, "You are good in every way, but since you don't like practicing martial arts, why force yourself? Don't practice anymore in the future."

"Correct!"

Meng Guangxin said loudly: "We are here, so you don't need to practice anymore, Junior Sister."

"Ah."

Lu Ji said, "Junior sister, why do you need to practice anymore when you have me here?"

"Yes."

Sun Buqi said naturally: "I have always thought so."

joke.

All those at this table are those who have achieved perfect Xuan Xiang and are future Martial Saints.

He knew from a young age that practicing martial arts was useless and that shaking people off was the right way to go.

"Get out of here! I didn't let you sit at the table to eat!"

Sun Xiangzong slammed the table and coughed twice.

"Eh eh eh?"

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Meng Guangxin grabbed Sun Buqi and threw him out of the yard: "Master, don't be angry!"

Sun Xiangzong poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and started eating.

The master started eating.

Only then did the disciples dare to follow suit and start eating.

A banquet.

It lasts until midnight.

Their gathering place also moved from the courtyard to the hall, and they changed from drinking wine to drinking tea.

Rong Yanqiu and Sun Li stood on each side, helping Sun Xiangzong to sit down on the armchair. "Second brother, kneel down."

"what?"

Cheng Wei didn't understand why, but he did it immediately.

"You have always been narrow-minded since you were a child, and you haven't changed until now."

Sun Xiangzong said: "Sometimes, overly detailed calculations are not a good thing. When you go back, copy this Heart Sutra ten thousand times."

Next to him, the butler had already prepared everything.

"Master..."

Second Brother Cheng Wei suddenly realized what the Master wanted to do by calling all these people here all of a sudden. He knelt there holding the Heart Sutra, his body trembling a little, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"The third one!"

Sun Xiangzong called the next person over.

Nie Yuan knelt heavily on the ground: "Master, please speak!"

"Your previous swordsmanship is not suitable for you, or rather, there is no swordsmanship suitable for you in the world."

Sun Xiangzong coughed and said, "I have created a new sword technique for you. It should be stronger than the one you practiced before. Try it out when you go back."

"Thank you Master!"

"boom!"

Nie Yuan kowtowed heavily.

"Lao Wu!"

Sun Xiangzong waved his hand and said, "After this battle, you can go to Lingyin Temple. There is a place for you there. I know that you are the most compassionate among my fellow disciples. I have wronged you over the years."

"Master..."

Meng Guangxin clasped his hands together.

"Lao Liu."

Sun Xiangzong continued: "Do you know your mistake?"

"Disciple knows his mistake."

Wang Zhi burst into tears and said, "I shouldn't act on impulse."

"You still know! Sun Buhui's life is a life, but the lives of the 15,000 soldiers of the Xuanwu Camp are not lives?! Fortunately, you are lucky and followed your junior brother back to fight. Otherwise, I don't want to see you for the rest of my life!"

Sun Xiangzong was really angry, but after a round of scolding, he gradually calmed down: "Here are some precious medicines that I brought back from the Far North. Take them. Since you have chosen to come back, you must always be clear about your position and what you should do.

“Old Seven.

“I went to Qing Kingdom and asked an old friend to make a sword for you. You should accept it.

"You have always been worried since you were young. Go out for a walk when you have nothing to do. Don't always think about your enemies. The master has proposed marriage to the girl you like. Go and get married after the war."

"Master..."

Ye Fengxiu took the sword with both hands: "My child will remember it."

"Xiaojiu, you too."

Sun Xiangzong said, "What happened back then has caused you to be too worried and murderous. When you have free time, follow Lao Wu and recite some Buddhist scriptures to wash away your murderous nature. I have also created a set of whip techniques for you, as well as some elixirs."

"Xiaojiu, remember this!"

Rong Yanqiu kowtowed.

"Chen Sanshi."

"Disciple is here."

Chen Sanshi knelt down gently and listened to his master's orders.

"You are my youngest and my last disciple."

Sun Xiangzong said leisurely: "Many of your senior brothers and sisters have followed me since they were young, and some of them were even raised by me. Even those who were selected have followed me for many years.

"To be fair, the relationship between you and me is not as deep as that between your senior brothers and sisters. But no matter what, you and I are also master and disciple. In the future, I hope you can take good care of that bastard Sun Buqi and your senior sister."

"Master, your words are too serious."

Chen Sanshi said hurriedly: "I have only been a disciple for a short time, but since I have learned martial arts from the master and received a lot of care from the master, I should naturally regard my brothers and sisters as my family."

"Haha, you kid."

Sun Xiangzong seemed to be a little emotional: "There are many places that are the same as when I was young, but there are also completely different places. If you encounter the same problem in the future, I hope you can do better than me.

"The rest of you, go out first."

go out?

Fang Qingyun nodded and signaled the others to do the same.

Suddenly.

The seniors all understood what this meant.

today……

The master was obviously arranging his funeral affairs.

Everyone received a gift, and it was all extremely precious.

Only the junior brother stayed alone, which was telling them...

To pass on the legacy!

Where is the boss?
Not necessarily.

The boss hasn't spoken yet.

When they arrived in the yard, they saw Lu Ji standing at the door, hesitating. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to walk out of the room.

"Master."

Chen Sanshi found an opportunity to take out the spiritual pearl: "We have been separated for a long time, and I haven't had time to return this thing."

"Boy."

Sun Xiangzong did not answer, but asked calmly: "What do you think of the world of immortal cultivation? Do you plan to follow this path in the future?"

"The immortal world is even more cruel than the mortal world."

Chen Sanshi nodded: "But I will still give it a try in the future. After all, immortality is something everyone desires, and I am no exception."

"Old Four should have told you that I didn't want you to go."

Sun Xiangzong sighed softly, and then said in a deep voice: "But since you want to take this path, your teacher has nothing else to give you but a spiritual vein. I hope it will be helpful to your immortal path."

"Give me?"

Chen Sanshi naturally understood what this meant.

mean.

He is probably the only one who can practice the way of immortality without going to the world of immortals. He can avoid countless dangers and save a lot of resources.

This gift is very heavy.

"After I die."

Sun Xiangzong tapped the ring and said, "Take it away. It contains a martial arts technique above that of a martial saint and a spear. With the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear, they will recognize you, but you also need to have prestige. Do you understand what I mean?

“During the Battle of Mingzhou, you didn’t fight with the Eighth Battalion.

“Dongqing, not really.

"Only if you win the battle on the grassland can you truly convince the North and the Eighth Battalion. Remember that?"

It's really about arranging funeral affairs.

Chen Sanshi didn't act pretentiously. He knocked his forehead heavily on the ground and said, "Disciple, remember this."

"Okay, I'm not a shy person."

Sun Xiangzong raised his lips and said, "I said that he is a hundred years old and should have been buried long ago. I don't know why they are so sad.

"Remember you promised me that you would take good care of Sun Buqi and his sister. Consider it as my possessions in exchange for yours.

"Okay, go ahead and call your senior brother in."

"Yes!"

Chen Sanshi got up and left.

Sun Xiangzong picked up the teacup, and seeing that he was really leaving, he coughed deliberately and repeated, "I asked you to take good care of Sun Buqi and his sister. Did you remember?!"

"Disciple remembers..."

Chen Sanshi stopped and realized what his master meant.

He quickly turned around, knelt down again, and said loudly: "Master! I like Senior Sister Sun and want to marry her home in a formal matchmaker. The betrothal gifts will be sent to your house tomorrow. Please grant me your permission, Master!"

"Well, I'll think about it."

Sun Xiangzong waved his hand with satisfaction: "Go."

Marry your senior sister.

These few words.

Chen Sanshi's voice is very loud.

The senior brothers and sisters in the courtyard heard it clearly.

This kind of thing is inherently aboveboard and there is no need to hide it.

"Yo~"

Cheng Wei smiled and said, "Little Junior Brother, you can do it!"

"Amitabha!"

Meng Guangxin chanted the Buddha's name: "Good, good."

"good."

Rong Yanqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "If he doesn't speak up, he will be too ignorant."

"what?"

Sun Buqi, who was standing at the gate, also heard it clearly: "Chen Sanshi really became my brother-in-law? Sister, did you hear that?"

In the darkness, I couldn't see Sun Li's expression clearly, I only heard her say, "Do you have any objections?"

"No no."

Everyone is happy.

Only the corners of Lu Ji's mouth were forced into an arc.

But it's not his turn yet, there's still hope.

"Squeak~"

The door opens.

"Big brother."

Chen Sanshi said: "Master calls you in."

"it is good."

Lu Ji strode forward, entered the room, closed the door, and knelt heavily: "Master!"

"More than 30 years."

Sun Xiangzong looked at him and said slowly, "It has been more than thirty years since I picked you up from the war-torn land."

"Master, I will never forget your kindness and generosity!"

Lu Ji kowtowed without saying a word, but he was very excited in his heart.

"Don't worry about it. The Dragon Gallbladder Silver Spear belongs to your junior brother."

Sun Xiangzong said bluntly.

"..."

silence.

After a dozen or so breaths of silence, Lu Ji's voice rang out again: "Disciple... I understand. The Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear is fine, but I want to know why Master is unwilling to teach me the technique?"

"good very good."

Sun Xiangzong closed the lid of the teacup and said, "If you have any complaints in your heart, you should speak them out. If you can speak them out directly, I will respect you more."

"so……"

Lu Ji said respectfully: "Master, can you tell me whether it is because I have poor aptitude or I have done something wrong..."

He paused, as if remembering something.

"Is it still the same thing as before?"

"Master!"

"I have acknowledged my mistakes and have sincerely repented for what happened back then. I will carve the names of every person who died on a monument and place it in a place with the best mountains and rivers!"

"ten years."

Sun Xiangzong said calmly, "I once buried the ring containing the skills under the stele for ten years, but you only erected the stele for me to see, and you didn't think you were wrong. If you had gone there once, even once, you would have found the ring, but you never went there once."

Lu Ji's body trembled and he stood there in a daze.

The martial arts he had always dreamed of.

That's it...

Buried in the mud for ten years?

He could get it even if he went there once!
"child."

Sun Xiangzong said earnestly: "Your character is like this, you can't change it. You and I are master and disciple after all. I just hope that one day you won't turn against your fellow apprentices."

"Master!"

Lu Ji's voice trembled: "Can you let me take a look at the technique?"

"Since you have already learned the way of the gods, why do you have to beg for it?"

Sun Xiangzong put down the teacup and closed his eyes: "Come in."

"Master!"

The fellow disciples came in one after another.

They saw that the eldest brother looked unhappy and knew that some things might have been decided.

"One last word."

Sun Xiangzong said slowly.

"Master, are you going to talk about the upcoming battle?"

Wang Zhi said.

"Yes."

"Master, you are the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Liang Army. His Highness the Sixth Prince has been waiting for you."

"That's what I want to tell you."

Sun Xiangzong said calmly: "Master is no longer able to fight. From now on, Beiliang will rely on you."

"Master, don't worry!"

Everyone knelt down.

"Wu has the eldest brother, Ce has the fourth brother and the younger apprentice brother!"

"In this battle, we will definitely annihilate the main forces of the four bandits in one fell swoop and restore peace to the North!"

"Master, you have fought in battles all your life. It is time for you to take a good rest and enjoy your old age!"

"Correct."

"Master, after the war, we will all resign from our posts and come to take care of you until the end of your life."

"Haha, everyone, go down. I need to rest."

Sun Xiangzong waved his hand gently: "From now on, you will have to walk your own path."

　I would like to recommend a book by Good Brothers to everyone.
