"I was delayed for four and a half days when I came out. I guess I have a lot of things waiting for me to do. I have to go back to the city soon, so I won't be with the Taoist priest all the way." Wu Nuxia said, "Even if I go all the way, I still have to go into the city.
divided."
"Xia Xia, just go and get busy."
"good!"
"Walk slowly."
"thorough……"
Wu Nuxia shouted, but without hitting the horse, the yellow-maned horse started running on its own, splashing mud with its hoofs.
Although the horse is short, it does not run very slowly.
It turned out to be a walking horse.
The figure quickly disappeared on the official road ahead.
Song You withdrew his gaze.
It's just that this heroine took her out for a trip and was delayed for four and a half days. Not only did she not find the miracle doctor Cai she wanted to find, but she was also involved in a dispute between Jianghu people. She didn't know who wanted to find him.
Do the people who stole the painting remember her and will they cause trouble for her?
Anyway, I feel a little sorry.
It was useless to think too much, so he just walked slowly along the roadside.
The girl next to her seemed to have no worries at all. She just broke a stick from somewhere and hit the heads of the weeds on the roadside, making a sound. Whenever there were dragonflies and butterflies flying by on the road, she didn't care.
No matter what, you have to jump up and catch it. When it falls to the ground, it often splashes a lot of mud.
Changjing City is getting closer.
Suddenly I heard a messy and heavy sound of horse hooves behind me.
"thorough!"
When he turned around, he saw a few tall horses coming with their whips raised, and armored guards riding on them. Before they even got close, they shouted:
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The Taoist hurriedly grabbed the girl's wrist and pulled her to his side. He watched the imperial soldiers pass by on horseback, followed their words, and moved her to the soil on the roadside.
Then he turned his head and looked in the direction from which the imperial army came.
A large group of people is slowly approaching.
There are three tall horses in the lead.
The two horses walking at the front were one pure white and flawless, with not a single stray hair on it. It was a white jade lion. The other was pure black as ink, with its whole body as shiny as black satin. It was a black night beast.
Sitting immediately were two young men with extraordinary appearance. They were estimated to be no more than twenty years old. They were dressed in hunting attire and had outstanding bearing.
These two horses are already mighty and majestic, rare horses in the world, but the horse behind them, which is half a horse's head behind them, is actually a head taller than them, a mixture of black and white, and extraordinary handsomeness.
The man on the horse was dressed in a red robe, with bulging bulges under the red robe. He looked very majestic, and he was actually wearing armor on this hot day.
Taoists have seen this horse before, and people have seen it too.
The three people chatted freely, but most of the time only the two young men spoke. One was talkative and the other was elegant and gentle. The general beside him was silent most of the time. He only lightly agreed with them when they asked about him.
sentence, seems to lack interest.
There are many servant sergeants behind him.
The most eye-catching thing is a cart, which is loaded with prey, including deer, rabbits, goats, wolves and leopards.
The group of people got closer and closer.
The general looked around as a habit. He just glanced casually. After seeing the Taoist on the roadside in front of him, he never looked away, nor did he reply to the words of the two noble young men.
Until I came to the Taoist.
"..."
The general only gently grasped the reins and lifted them up. There was no need to pull hard or make a sound. The horse understood and stopped.
"Xu..."
Then there were shouts beside and behind him.
The team then stopped.
I saw the general stopped on his horse, turned sideways and raised his hands, and said in a steady voice to the Taoist on the roadside:
"Sir, see you again."
The Taoist priest on the roadside immediately saluted and replied:
"I've met General Chen."
When the two young men saw this, they both had their own ideas.
The older boy narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he knew instantly who this person was and why General Chen knew him.
The younger boy looked puzzled, but also had a gentle demeanor, smiling like a spring breeze, and asked the general beside him:
"General, have you met an old acquaintance?"
"Back to Your Highness, we are old acquaintances."
The general answered calmly and continued to look at the Taoist: "I wonder where this comes from, sir?"
"Go for a walk outside the mountains."
"But you want to go back to the city?"
"Exactly."
"It has just rained and the road is muddy. We are destined to meet each other. I wonder if Mr. Chen is lucky enough to ask your husband to accompany you?"
General Chen said and looked back.
Immediately, a forbidden soldier got off his horse, stepped on the mud, grabbed the reins and walked towards the Taoist.
The Taoist looked down at his feet and shook his head in refusal: "Thank you, General, for your kindness. It's just that the shoes are dirty, so it doesn't matter. Although I have to go back to the city, I'm in no hurry."
"Sir, you are so elegant."
"It's not just Yaxing. It's really a long way to go. The capital is just around the corner, so it's not bad at all."
"..."
The people around me looked at each other again.
But he didn't expect that when the famous General Chen Ziyi and Chen Ziyi, who held a heavy army, invited him so politely, there would be people who dared to refuse.
The general sitting on the horse nodded, thoughtfully, then turned around and saluted the people around him: "Your Highnesses, the capital city is close at hand. Chen is lucky enough to meet an old acquaintance today, so I would like to invite you two
Your Highness, please go back to the city first and allow Mr. Chen to have a chat and reminisce about old times."
"Natural and natural..."
The older boy quickly replied.
The younger one wanted to say something more, but he had no choice but to give it up and looked curiously at the Taoist who was leading the girl to the side of the road.
The large army continued to move forward, leaving only General Chen and two soldiers standing still.
"Sir, you really don't know how to ride a horse?"
"Thank you for your kindness."
"Sir, the children next to you are young. Chen can also spare a horse." General Chen looked at the girl next to the Taoist again.
"We have horses!"
The girl raised her head and looked at him.
"That's fine."
Without thinking, the general turned over and led his horse to approach the Taoist. He smiled and saluted again: "When we met in the palace before, Chen wanted to talk more with Mr. Chen, but he couldn't enjoy it. He didn't expect to return to the city after hunting, but
It is truly fate that I could meet my husband on the roadside."
"General, this is..."
"Accompany your two highnesses out of the city for hunting." The general looked at the large group of people in front of him who were gradually walking away, and added, "Your Majesty's order."
"Then the general will have some problems when he returns."
"Tell it like it is."
"General, why is he wearing heavy armor when he goes out to hunt in the city?"
"There are many tigers, bears and ferocious beasts outside the city, and occasionally there are demons that have become spirits. If you want to protect your highness, you will naturally need to wear armor."
"I see."
Song You smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
The large army moved further and further away, and the imperial guards at the rear also left. The Taoist re-entered the official road and walked forward, but there was already a general and two soldiers beside him, all neatly dressed and leading horses.
"In recent days, the city has been full of rumors about the Taiwei Mansion. Some people even said that gods descended to earth and transformed into mortals to punish treacherous officials and bullies." General Chen laughed and walked with the Taoist to better reflect the situation.
It shows how tall and majestic he is, especially the heavy armor under his robes, "The dignitaries know better. I don't know how many people have been looking for Mr. in the past few days, but who would have thought that Mr. would actually run outside the city?"
I went to look for experts, but I'm afraid they all got rejected."
"Do the people in the city know what I did?"
"Most don't know."
"That's good."
"It seems that Mr. Jing is happy."
"Most Taoists like to be quiet."
"Too."
"How did the general know that I went out of the city to visit an expert?" the Taoist asked with a smile.
"Previously in the palace, I asked the Imperial Master who are the masters in Changjing. I travel around the world, so I have the intention of searching." General Chen replied unhurriedly, "What's more, I'm leaving this morning."
On the road, I met a group of Jianghu people armed with knives and sticks. They were in a very embarrassed state. They stopped me and asked them about it. I heard a fairy story. I think Mr. Lai went to find the Snake Fairy in Beiqin Mountain."
"I see."
"Sir, you are really good at it."
"It's all the work of the Snake Immortal." The Taoist said truthfully, "But I'm not looking for the Snake Immortal, but the Divine Doctor Cai. They are both in Beiqin Mountain, but one is on the periphery and the other is in the depth. I never thought that I would be there.
Instead of seeing the charisma of Dr. Cai, I met the Snake Fairy."
"That's also fate."
General Chen glanced at the long box behind him.
Neither of them mentioned Dou's paintings.
There is no need to mention it at this point.
This is how things have always been in the world——
This painting is certainly precious and can make many people in the world risk their lives, but it also depends on where it is placed.
Living in the rivers and lakes is the source of bloodshed. Putting it in the treasure house of an important official in the court may also trigger some open and secret fights. But if it is hung in the palace, it will be the talk of the world. Although General Chen has never seen the Taoist's ability
, but you can roughly guess a thing or two. If you put it here, no one can take it away.
"As I travel around the world downstream, there are still many places I haven't been to. I wonder if I can ask the general for advice."
"Speak everything you know, and speak everything you know."
"I heard that after the war in the north, nine out of ten houses on the border were empty, and there were no roosters crowing for thousands of miles." The Taoist asked as he walked, "I wonder if it is true or false?"
"real."
A short answer without any emotion.
Just like a word in a history book.
When the general answered this question, there was no expression on his face. It was not until he finished his answer, remained silent for a moment, and took a few steps forward that he spoke and roughly painted over the tragic situation on the border: "The struggle between nations and races is the most important thing."
Cruel, whenever the barbarians from Saibei come to our place, they are like locusts crossing the border, leaving no one behind. This has been the case for thousands of years."
"Then let's go there?"
"It's the same thing."
"I heard that there are many demons making trouble in the north."
"It's not a rumor." The general replied as he walked. "Sir, as an expert, you must know that once there are no people in a place, it belongs to the monsters. And once a lot of people die in a place, the monsters in this place will become even more powerful."
Wanton madness is as terrible as the plague."
"Is there a god in the north who can control the world?"
"I am the guard general of Dayan's border army. I only fight with the barbarians outside the country and rarely take care of the monsters." The general paused, "But I often hear rumors of priests coming to the rear to fight monsters at night."
"That's it..."
The two continued to walk and talk.
The Taoist had already heard the story of this general many times, so how could he not want to talk to him?
Besides, I have something to ask about the north.
It's a pity that the last time they met was in the palace, and today the emperor is the protagonist, so the two of them can't talk too much.
This happens to be a good opportunity.
The general also wanted to test him.
As a result, the pace was three minutes slower than before. They talked to each other. The Taoist saw the customs and customs of the north, and also saw this general who was destined to be famous throughout the ages. The city of Changjing was getting closer and closer.
"Almost entering the city."
"Is something wrong, General Chen?"
"Chen should go after your two highnesses."
"This is a major matter, and I don't dare to delay the general."
General Chen laughed, turned over and got on the horse. Sitting on the horse, he looked at the Taoist and left in no hurry: "Chen forgot something."
"General, please speak."
"In the previous war in the north, thanks to the master's intelligence, Dayan was able to win so easily. Regarding the prediction and divination, Chen was really curious." General Chen stared down at him, "Sir, even the master is highly respected.
I wonder if you, the master of immortality, also know the art of fortune-telling?"
"I disappoint the general. I don't understand this."
"Sir, are you serious about what you said? Don't try to deceive me."
"I have just asked the general many times for advice. The general told me everything he knew. I am very grateful to you. Now that the general has something to ask, how can I deceive and conceal it?"
The general lowers his head and the Taoist raises his head.
The two looked at each other sincerely.
it is more than words.
"Thank you sir."
"You're welcome, General."
"I wonder if I can come and visit sir next time?"
"Of course you can."
"Now I'll say goodbye."
"thorough!"
The piebald beast suddenly started running like wind and thunder.
Two soldiers followed on horseback.
The three figures quickly moved away.
The Taoist looked away and smiled. The similarities and differences that emerged after the people in the story came to reality. The comparison between the young man back then and the general who is now even feared by the emperor is really wonderful.
