Nightfall Chapter 128: In Tuyang City, black hairs are like blood
Since the academy’s mountaineering campaign, the two names of Ning Que and Prince Longqing have often been compared by people in the spiritual world, although most people at the time believed that Ning Que’s qualifications were a little lacking. But in fact, many people have regarded the two of them as the legendary enemies of life.
In Ning Que's view, the enemy of a lifetime is an expression that is too hot and even a little bit bloody. For example, Master Liansheng and Little Shishu are the enemies of life in many people's eyes. Master Liansheng only has such thoughts deep in his heart that will give birth to a lot of envy and jealousy, but Little Shishu must have no such interest, after all. It is a matter of the realm of strength, as long as one party is strong enough, then he is qualified to ignore the other party's suffering and struggle.
Standing under the green pine on the top of the highest peak, why bother to look back at the scenery of your former companions and enemies who spent countless times of your efforts to reach the mountainside on the long journey of cultivation?
At this time, Ning Que in the carriage didn't know what happened to Prince Longqing. After shooting the Yuan Thirteen Arrows, he knew that Prince Longqing was abolished. Even if he was not dead, he would definitely be abolished. The **** son Xiling, who grew up in the imperial palace and under the care of the Haotian Taoist Sect, was definitely unable to ignore any suffering like himself, smile and face all obstacles coldly, but surpassed it.
Because he knew this, he never regarded Prince Longqing as his life goal, or an imaginary enemy, no matter what adventures and good luck he would have in the future, after he climbed to the top of the mountain. , He firmly believed that as long as he defeated the opponent once, he could defeat the opponent countless times.
Ning Que raised the curtains again and looked at the strange Tuyang City. In the autumn, when he brought the students from the academy to the front line for practical repairs, he once passed by Tuyang City, but at that time Xiahou did not meet the students of the academy, and the team hurried. However, he had never looked at the scenery of Tuyang City carefully, and he must know that the scenery here has a different meaning to him.
The meaning is that Tuyang City is the place where Xiao Heizi once lived and fought, and Xiao Heizi was the first friend he truly trusted in the first half of his life. He looked at the half-hidden door beside the road. Liang Cao Xing, looking at the strange-looking arrow tower on the heights of the city wall, remembering the letters from far away when he was in Weicheng, and remembering that Xiao Heizi mentioned these places on the letter paper, and also mentioned what he had done in these places. .
Xiao Heizi is dead. He died in the cool spring rain, just under the gray wall opposite to Lao Bi Zhai, Ning Que looked at the scenery outside the car window! Missing someone I never see again, my mood is a little abnormal.
The big brother and Mo Shanshan in the carriage looked at him quietly, and they all saw that his mood was a little strange at this time, but they didn't know the real reason for his different mood. They thought it was because he was about to enter the general's house soon. Seeing Xiahou, Ning Que was a little nervous about the horse thief on the grassland and the heavenly book.
"The military department can confirm Lin Ling's identity." The big brother patted him on the shoulder, and said gently: "No matter if Xiahou admits it or not, the subordinates organized horse thieves on the grassland to rob the coalition's grain and grass. That's enough."
Ning Que smiled. In fact, he didn't really understand why the big brother brought him to Tuyang City, nor was he very clear about how to understand the sentence about Huaxue that day, the horse thieves in the grassland, He has obtained enough evidence, but this alone cannot make Xiahou hurt. As for the punch he struck when he snatched the Book of Heaven by the Hulan Sea and the Datang Bianqi who rushed to it afterwards, it was not enough. Overturned Xiahou to the ground.
The front entrance of the General’s Mansion is thick and wide, and the long streets are clean and sweeping. Whenever the officer’s subordinates respectfully accompany him to the side, compared with the environment, the carriage looks more and more crude.
The carriage did not stop in front of the mansion, but drove directly into the general mansion. The frontier generals who were ordered to accompany outside the mansion were more shocked, wondering who was in the car, there could be such a big one. face? It should be known that General Xiahou was one of the most important figures in the emperor’s army, and even those from the palace were not qualified to drive directly into it.
I didn’t get out of the car in front of the General’s Mansion. It’s really because the identity of the people in the car is different. People like the big brother rarely appear in the dunya. The occasional appearance is just a glimpse. It really makes people know that he is here. Tuyang City is not a good thing for the court or Xiahou.
The carriage drove into the depths of the General's Mansion and stopped by a winter garden. A scribe named Gu Xi respectfully welcomed the three into the garden. Ning Que looked at this man's back and suddenly shook it. Shook his head.
General Xiahou greeted him under the stone gate at the entrance of the garden, his expression calm and unsure of his mood.
Some time has passed since the Hulan Seaside incident, and we met again. The two sides had a tacit understanding and did not mention the contention of the heavenly book that day. They just entered in a tumultuous manner, as if they were just the first sight.
There was a family-style banquet in the winter garden. There was no rumored brutal and extravagant dishes like hericium, and there was no rumor that General Zhongxiahou tried to test the courage of the guests. It was on the dark wooden desk. There were only light dishes and three-color rice porridge. Everyone at the table ate in silence, and no one spoke.
Ning Que drank a bowl of rice porridge, took the chopsticks to make it into a fine dish, drank a bowl of rice porridge, and put the chopsticks into the bowl, using the tip of the chopsticks to silently tease for a moment, then he suddenly raised his head. Looking at Xiahou at the head of the table.
A word in silence is thunder.
When everyone is silent, there is lightning.
As a guest, it’s very rude to look directly at the host like this. As a junior in the academy, it’s unreasonable to act first when the brother is present, and then Ning Que did it because he really wanted to be sincere. Look-look at this person.
The big brother glanced at him slightly, then smiled and continued to lower his head to eat the porridge. He seemed to think that this porridge was much more interesting than the faintly oscillating atmosphere of Xiahou, Junior Brother, and the banquet.
Mo Shanshan looked up at him, somewhat puzzled and worried. When he saw Ning Que's expression as usual, he ignored him, and his eyes didn't know where he went. They were just the frosty trees in the ice pool in the winter garden.
Xiahou still lowered his head, holding a bowl of porridge and eating slowly and seriously, as if he couldn't feel Ning Que's gaze slashing deeply on his face like two knives, his expression indifferent.
Ning Que looked at Xiahou quietly.
At this time, Xiahou and the middle-aged man by the Hulan Sea are completely different people. Their complexions are still as cold as iron, their eyebrows are still thick as black silkworms, and their lips are still as beautiful as blood, but they are all overbearing. The extreme power, but all locked in the ordinary coat of his body, not a trace of it leaked to the world.
That seemingly ordinary plain coat is not armor, not a military uniform! But it was the royal clothes that the emperor of Datang personally put on him when he was discussing military exploits. Wearing this imperial dress, Xiahou was no longer just a martial arts pinnacle, but also a great figure in the secular world, the most powerful person of the emperor's party.
Ning Que silently thought, even in the academy, it would be difficult for such a big person to give an explanation, right?
Xiahou slowly and seriously ate the porridge in the bowl, slower than the big brother, until a long time later, he stopped eating, slowly raised his head, looked back at Ning Que's eyes and asked: "Little sir. Why keep looking at me?"
Ning Que smiled and said: "Because the general is mighty."
Of course, no one believed this, but no one was so boring to expose this excuse. Unless the second brother suddenly came to Tuyang City, he might be interested in criticizing the hypocrisy and rudeness of both parties.
Withdraw the food and drink, and serve the precious Yanxi Black Hao tea. Xiahou looked at the senior brother and said: "The dogs are all wastes that can't be put on the table, so I won't call them out for Mr. Da to see."
The big brother smiled slightly and took a sip of tea slowly. He has always been reluctant to speak when he doesn't need to speak, because he knows that he speaks slowly, and other people probably don't like to listen.
Xiahou took a tea cup and looked at Mo Shanshan, and said, "Are you a bookworm?"
The big brother put down the tea cup, smiled and said, "Shan Shan is now my sister."
Xiahou squinted his eyes slightly, seeming a little surprised, wondering why this girl of the Great River Kingdom got such a great opportunity, and said for a moment in silence: "Congratulations."
Mo Shanshan knew that the next conversation in the Winter Garden belonged to the internal affairs of the Datang Empire, stood up and gave a little blessing, then took a look at Ning Que, and left on his own to feed the **** horse.
The winter garden is quiet, only the cold wind is blowing the frost on the branches, making a rustling sound, like an arrow feather grazing the bowstring, like the mud on the battlefield splashing on the hard armor.
Xiahou looked at the dark, **** tea soup in the tea cup, and was silent for a long time. With a shake of his wrist, he drank it into his lips. The heroic and casual undisclosed in the long-sleeved shirt, he drank a cup. Double steamed spirits.
The tea soup entered the throat like blood, and the general's voice became colder and solemn, and the meaning of gold and stone was mastered.
"In the past, Mr. Ke slammed into the mountain gate with a single sword. My Mingzong children died or escaped, and they were left and fled and miserable. However, my Mingzong originally established rules with power, so people in Mingzong were afraid of Mr. Ke like a tiger, but never I hate it. At that time, I was still young, and when I left my teacher’s control, I felt like diving into the sea and the flowers blooming across the other shore. I was so happy. Especially when I went south to the Central Plains with my sister, I met many friends in the army in the Tang Dynasty. This is the pleasure."
Ning Que did not look at him at this time, just looked at the cup of tea in front of him. The black tea in the cup reminded him of many old things, the stone lion, and the blood. He was in the general's house. Thinking of the General's Mansion, he was awakened by the sound of gold and stone, frowned slightly, did not expect Xiahou to assume the identity of the Demon Sect as soon as he started.
"The world calls me Mingzong a demon, and I am the so-called remnant of the demon sect. The master is a direct disciple of the master, and he would not care about it, but the world does not. After my sister entered Chang'an, I guarded the frontier for the empire. To the great general, one day Murong made a shocking dance, and her sainthood was exposed. Xiling Temple made a fuss about the incident. While the master teacher passed the book to the imperial court, the three gods were all set to go to Minshan. I put pressure."
Xiahou Moran looked at the black tea soup in the tea cup, and said after a moment of silence: "At that time, I had been expecting the court to respond to me, or the Master could say something, but the court did not respond, and the Master did not. Speaking, in order to prevent the Xiling Temple from being overwhelmed to the woman in Chang'an because of my status as the Demon Sect, I had to kill Murong, betray Mingzong, become a guest of the Temple, and become a dog of Haotian."
