Weicheng, with its original yellow city walls and desolate desert scene, has undergone earth-shaking changes.
At this time, Weicheng was full of vitality, with green grass swaying between the city walls and streets.
Under the command of Ma Shixiang, Tang soldiers stood nervously on the city wall, looking into the distance warily.
Great changes occurred in Weicheng. As a general, Ma Shixiang and the soldiers in the city could not turn a blind eye.
Such big changes can only be accomplished by powerful practitioners in the legend. Therefore, they knew that powerful practitioners came near Weicheng and came to the border of Tang State.
As the border guards of the Tang Kingdom, their most important task was to protect the border. Even if the person coming was a great cultivator who could change the world, they would have to step over their corpses before they could enter the Tang Kingdom.
Ma Shixiang looked nervously at the carriages that appeared in the distance, watching them slowly approaching Weicheng. The sword in his hand tightened and tightened, and the sweat slowly dripped from his forehead.
However, when he saw the fair-skinned, handsome and familiar face beside the carriage from a distance, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes revealed unstoppable longing and surprise.
He knew the boy who was still a pretty boy after living in Weicheng for so many years. He was the same Ning Que who followed Princess Li Yu's motorcade to the Tang Dynasty last year with a document from the military department.
Since Ning Que was in the convoy, it meant that the practitioners who came were not enemies, but practitioners from the Tang State.
As for whether Ning Que would surrender and lead people to attack Weicheng, Ma Shixiang would never have such an idea in his mind. He knew Ning Que and understood the obsession in Ning Que's heart.
Ning Que may lower his bottom line in order to survive, but he will never betray the Tang State and bring cultivators from the enemy country to attack the city.
Walking to Weicheng, Ning Que suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart and shouted loudly:
"Old Ma, I would rather return home without clothes!"
A loud shout revealed Ning Que's feelings for this small frontier town. Although he had left Chang'an City and lived in the Minshan Mountains for a period of time, in Ning Que's heart, this place was located in the desolate frontier town.
The small town here is my hometown.
And the general in the city who was called "General" by the soldiers was now the only relative in Ning Que's heart besides the people in the academy and Sangsang.
During Ning Que's most difficult time, this small town general played the role of Ning Que's father, giving Ning Que something to rely on and preventing him from becoming extreme due to various painful experiences.
Therefore, this small frontier city and the generals in the city have a very special place in Ning Que's heart.
A voice that he had not heard for two years rang in his ears. Ma Shixiang's eyes couldn't help but become moist. He shook his arms vigorously and cursed with a smile:
"You brat, you're going to go to heaven as soon as you come back!"
Ning Que said with an unconvinced smile:
"Old Ma, I am now the thirteenth gentleman of the academy. If you act like this, I will punish you with disrespect! Jie Jie Jie!"
As he spoke, he laughed arrogantly, as if he was arrogant when he got his way.
However, Ke Haoran and Li Manman both looked at Ning Que's arrogance with smiles and did not feel anything inappropriate; Ma Shixiang did not have any emotions because of Ning Que's arrogance and "threat".
The three of them were Ning Que's elders. Instead of scolding Ning Que for his lack of etiquette, the three of them showed distress on their faces.
Because only at this moment could Ning Que freely release his emotions.
Ning Que has been through too much hardship these past years, and during the two years in Chang'an City, due to his obsession with revenge and his lack of strength, Ning Que has been suppressing his emotions.
Now that he has returned to Weicheng, to the small town Zhizong that he loves so much, Ning Que's mood has suddenly improved a lot, and he has gained a lot more insights.
As Ning Que walked step by step towards Weicheng, his aura also improved. When Ning Que stood under the gate of Weicheng, he was already a Talisman Master at the peak of Dongxuan, and he was only a few steps away from the realm of knowing fate.
a step far.
It can be said that Ning Que is now the practitioner who is closest to the realm of knowing fate. As for Long Qing, who is half-stepped into knowing fate, he has obsessions and cannot recognize himself clearly, so he almost cut off his path to the realm of knowing fate.
Now, Ning Que only has the accumulation of knowledge and the best opportunity.
Seeing Ning Que's arrival, even the bookworm Mo Shanshan was somewhat impressed and said:
"As expected of the Thirteenth Disciple selected by Master, he has gone from an ordinary person to the peak of Dongxuan Realm in just two years, and has even caught up with Long Qing, the Son of Light who was carefully cultivated by Xiling! Master, you really have a good eye.
!The quality of education in the academy is really amazing!”
Li Manman and Ke Haoran looked at each other and smiled, but they were not proud of themselves.
After all, although the academy disciples are strong, the bookworms Mo Shanshan and Zhuoer trained by the owner of the Shang Building are not weak at all, and they both have the qualifications to break through the five realms.
Even Situ Yilan, who has just entered the spiritual practice, has made rapid progress after mastering some drow methods, and is not far from the Dongxuan realm.
Naturally, they would not take it lightly as the owner of the commercial building was unpredictable.
Having said so much, they were finally heading into the city. Although as practitioners they could still keep on going. But Jian Xiaoxiao, who had not yet entered the path of cultivation, felt a little powerless.
Therefore, they also rested in Weicheng for a few days.
If it were normal, they might have left Weicheng early, but now not only does Ning Que have a special affection for Weicheng, but also after experiencing Ye Su's Sword of Warmth in the World, Weicheng is a feng shui lover.
Living here can be nourished by the water and soil here. For practitioners, they can understand the Taoism left by Ye Su, and for ordinary people, they can also strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.
It is conceivable that Weicheng will become much more lively in the future, and the grassland's coveting of Weicheng will become even more intense, and they will even go so far as to launch a war for this purpose.
Ma Shixiang and others can naturally guess such a thing, but as people of the Tang Dynasty, as soldiers of the Tang State, they will not back down. Even if they die on the battlefield and bury their bones on the border, it is their responsibility and their belief to protect the border of the Tang Dynasty.
It is precisely because of the faith and passion of these soldiers and generals that they are able to fight on the frontiers day after day year after year without seeking promotion in official ranks.
On the other hand, Zhuoer suddenly said sarcastically when discussing Weicheng's defense with Ma Shixiang:
"Nowadays, the environment of Weicheng has changed greatly. Not only is it a miracle left by the Taoist saints, but it can also prolong life. Those officials may rush to come to Weicheng.
When the number of defenders in Weicheng increases, I don’t know if we can still ensure peace at the borders of the Tang Dynasty as before."
Zhuoer's words immediately caused Ma Shixiang to fall into silence. He was not more aware of the darkness in the military. It was precisely because he did not have enough money to pay tribute that he was still a border town general even though he had already had enough military exploits.
Now that Weicheng has become a popular place, there will definitely be a relative who comes down to pick peaches. Even if he does not have a relationship with the Thirteenth Master of the Academy, who is also a father and friend, he, the original general, may have too much prestige.
He was punished by Heaven for taking the wrong path.
However, Ning Que, who had just come closer, heard this and said:
"Don't worry, Lao Ma! I will tell Your Majesty what's going on here after I return to Chang'an!"
