The tightly closed door suddenly opened, and when he saw it, Chen Zihua had already changed into casual clothes. He saw the person coming through the crack in the door, and he couldn't help but scolded;
"I'm afraid, Master Ye, you don't understand!"
"Hey, it was too cool at night, so I slept for a few more hours without realizing it. Don't blame me, General Chen! Don't blame me!"
"You kid, you're still the same spirit as before!"
Chen Zihua turned sideways and let Yang Huang enter the room. The two of them did not dare to light the lamp, so they tilted their heads to each other and said;
"Are you all ready?"
"Yeah! I've got everything ready..."
"Then let's go!"
"This matter must not be said to be my idea, otherwise it will be difficult for me to tell Uncle Zhong, so be careful where you step..."
Chen Zihua walked in front, half tilting his head to Yang Huang behind him, and said:
"Why is it so hard to say?"
Just as the two were chatting nonchalantly, a light word suddenly came from behind the rockery on the side!
When Yang Huang heard this, he immediately became excited, dropped the baggage in his hand, and wanted to slip back. It was so dark that he couldn't see the road clearly. Then he bumped into a rock. This would be fun. Thinking of this, Chen Zihua hurried to the side.
I caught him. Anyway, I can run in the first grade of junior high school, but I can't run in the fifteenth grade. I might as well just have fun...
"Yo yo yo! Still want to run?"
The man walked out from the shadow behind the rockery and looked at the faint moonlight. Who else could it be if he wasn't Uncle Zhong? The two of them didn't dare to move when they saw this. They stood there with their hands and feet tied up, as if they were waiting to die.
appearance!
"You kid, you are really like an elf!"
Uncle Zhong stepped forward and kicked Chen Zihua a few times, kicking and saying
Chen Zihua actually didn't dare to fight back, and stood there with a sullen expression, enduring Uncle Zhong's scolding!
"Don't think I don't know. You smashed the bottom of the table when we were eating. You really think no one knows, right?"
"And you, boy!"
As he spoke, Uncle Zhong turned back to look at Yang Huang
"I want to run to the Star-Moon Forest all day long. Do you really think that those monsters are just cabbage, just waiting for you to chop them up? Do you really think that your little secret power makes you invincible?
Already?"
Yang Huang lowered his head, silently daring not to reply! Hearing that Uncle Zhong had pointed out his martial arts at once, he raised his head in surprise.
"Why? I, an old man, can't know?"
Seeing his surprised look, Uncle Zhong nodded his snow-white beard up and down, looking very proud of himself!
"Hmph! You two..."
Seeing that neither of them answered, Uncle Zhong suddenly felt very proud. He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle with a sentimental look. After a long while, he slowly said;
"Let's go! It's so cold in the middle of the night."
"oh..."
Yang Huang answered in a low voice, picked up the baggage, turned around with Chen Zihua, and walked toward the bedroom.
"This way..."
A lazy word came from behind
Yang Huang seemed to be awakened instantly. He jumped and turned around, looking at Uncle Zhong with gleaming eyes.
"What? Not ready to go?"
"Go, go, of course, hey! Uncle Zhong, why are you getting younger and younger? Wow! You are so personable! Right, General Annan?"
Yang Huang replied eagerly, and then secretly said to Chen Zihua;
"Hiss...yes...right!"
"Look, General Chen feels the same way. Oh my! Let's go, let's go."
"But we just left like this. Where is General Dingguo?"
As soon as the three of them came out of the backyard, Chen Zihua whispered secretly;
"General, don't worry, just be careful along the way."
Before anyone could answer, a burst of rough words sounded in the air, and a burly bald man was seen walking from the front, it was Nangong Changwan!
"Look, look, what am I talking about? Those tricks of yours! You can only deceive yourself. You can't even deceive this fool. Fortunately, I still call you smart!"
Uncle Zhong stood behind Chen Zihua and said with a heartbroken look. Yang Huang and Chen Zihua heard this and did not dare to pay attention. They silently walked forward and said to Nangong Changwan;
"General Nangong, I'm very sorry!"
"No problem!"
Nangong Changwan replied calmly, then turned his head slightly, looked at Yang Huang and said
"Young Master Ye and your father were exactly the same in terms of martial arts and behavior. In the few years since they were separated, your father has become the general of the country. It's rare that he can still remember me. I hope that Master Ye can replace me when he returns to the court after his term is over."
I send my regards to your father!"
"Yang Huang will definitely live up to the general's expectations!"
He bowed respectfully and said
"Haha! I originally wanted to keep you here in Ningding City as your father wanted, but although this city is peaceful, there are also undercurrents surging underneath. I know that Young Master Ye doesn't really believe in me, Nangong Changwan, but... that's okay.
With the Annan Army here, I can feel at ease..."
After saying that, Nangong Changwan looked at Yang Huang apologetically, nodded to Chen Zihua, turned around and left.
"General Nangong...you"
Yang Huang couldn't help but ask. When Nangong Changwan heard his question, he stopped slightly, but did not turn around, and said calmly behind his back;
"Remember what I told you! These people are exactly the same, but the world is fickle..."
After saying this, his figure gradually disappeared into the dark night!
"this........"
Yang Huang lowered his head, not knowing what to do or what to say. Then Uncle Zhong came up, patted his shoulder and said slowly;
"It seems that a lot of things have happened between Nangong Changwan and you! Even an old man like me has hidden it..."
"Uncle Zhong...I..."
"Don't!"
Uncle Zhong waved his hand,
"He has experienced a lot in Ningding City, so you must listen to what he warns you. Also, as a human being! You also need to be a little secretive, have a little bit of city government, and don't express your emotions and anger to others, so that you can be better.
Live!"
"Uncle Zhong is educating the younger generation again!"
Chen Zihua stood on the side. Hearing these words, his face moved slightly and he said with a smile.
"What? Didn't I teach well?"
"No, no, no..."
Chen Zihua shook his head repeatedly and said;
"Excellent, very good..."
"Hey! You kid!"
Uncle Zhong smiled and said to the somewhat sad Yang Huang;
"If you can't figure it out for a moment, stop thinking about it. Time will give you its answer. Let's go! Go to Xingyue! That's right! How can a domestic bird fly far? The Yuwen family made its fortune in Xingyue, so naturally you
It’s also a journey!”
After saying that, he asked Chen Zihua to fetch a lantern. With the light and moonlight, the three of them left the city lord's mansion. A carriage was already waiting here. The three of them got on the carriage. The coachman waved the reins, and the two strong horses slowly
Slowly stepping on the horse's hooves, he galloped on the bluestone in the city, heading towards the Star-Moon Forest!
Baishan Mountain is located fifty miles away from Ningding City. As mentioned above, the towns of Xingyue and Tianlan are allies of each other, but the towns do not allow Tianlan soldiers to directly garrison them. Therefore, there are guard posts between the city and the towns, which are garrisoned by Tianlan soldiers.
Patrols go back and forth between the towns and castles. During wartime, soldiers from the four cities and four forts can provide timely support to form a defense line, and they can also directly detect the movements of the towns. Baishan Mountain is the center for the deployment and management of the guards, especially for the convenience of stationing the imperial court to support Xingyue.
Taxi soldiers.
"Master Ye...Master Ye?"
Drowsily, Yang Huang heard a few calls and opened his eyes dimly. What he saw was Chen Zihua's big square face.
"Um...Uncle Chen, what's wrong?"
Although Chen Zihua is a third-grade general, he was promoted by Yu Wenwu. Naturally, he is very close to Yang Huang, so Yang Huang usually calls him uncle!
"Didn't you want to see the Star-Moon Forest? Now it's here!"
Chen Zihua said with a smile
"Oh? Are you here yet?"
Yang Huang suddenly woke up and asked with bright eyes
"Shh..."
Chen Zihua quietly made a gesture and looked to the side, only to see Uncle Zhong lying flat in the corner beside the carriage, covered with a thin quilt, sleeping soundly!
Maybe he heard the two people talking. Uncle Zhong opened his eyes and glanced. Seeing the two of them looking at him quietly, Uncle Zhong mumbled something vaguely at the corner of his mouth, turned over and fell asleep again.
Yang Huang did not dare to make any big noise, so he quietly got out of the car with Chen Zihua. Perhaps considering that the two of them were sleeping soundly just now, the carriage went directly up the mountain and stopped in a courtyard on the top of the mountain.
High, so when I got off the car and looked far into the distance, I saw a touch of emerald green at the intersection of the sky and the sky. The shadows of the trees were layered on top of each other. The green and green were added to each other, and the rays of the sun shone together. Wisps of light white mist rose up and enveloped it.
Occasionally, he saw birds startling, chirping and roaring animals, and he also saw clear water passing through it, with clumps of reflections in it... He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his nose was filled with the fragrance of vegetation.
"It's a beautiful time, isn't it?"
Chen Zihua saw his intoxicated look and said with a smile;
"There are poems everywhere and beauty of things at any time, but this place is truly a fairyland on earth..."
"Ha ha..."
Chen Zihua chuckled lightly,
"I had the same thought when I first came here, but this extremely beautiful and peaceful place..."
He pointed forward and said to Yang Huang;
"It looks quiet and beautiful on the outside, but in fact it is a terrifying place that can swallow people's bones. You must have wanted to stay here for a long time when you first came, but I went through all the trouble to get out of this place, and now I still come back. It's really unpredictable as time goes by!"
"Then Uncle Chen, do you regret it?"
"Regret! Haha"
Chen Zihua laughed when he heard this, pointed to a corner of the mountain and said;
"Listen!"
"oh!"
When Yang Huang heard the sound, he looked back and listened. Waves of drill shouts could be heard faintly from the foot of the mountain. During this time, he could hear shouts of "throwing" and "shield" and other loud scoldings.
"As a general, I take the lead. Look at these 30,000 Annan troops. I have witnessed them grow from ignorant teenagers of fifteen or sixteen to the cold-blooded and ruthless executioners they are today. If I abandon them, how will they survive? I will also
How will we survive? We were born bathed in blood, so why not turn it into a passion? But it’s a pity..."
Yang Huang's blood boiled with excitement when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but ask;
"What a pity"
"Oh!"
Chen Zihua put his hands behind his back, took two steps forward, looked at the vast Star-Moon Forest in the distance, and said slowly;
"It's a pity that for a general, one general's achievements will cause thousands of bones to wither! The other soldiers stationed at Baishan Mountain will become someone's stepping stone. You said, they are also raised by their parents, and it's just a piece of paper.
Isn’t it a pity to be sent to this land of stars and moon and remain unknown for several years, only to be returned home in an instant as a small bag of money? It’s a pity that there are countless people with white hair and black hair, just to increase the number of princes, princes and grandsons to talk about in the tea room.”
"That...that..."
Yang Huang was silent and speechless. He seemed to be one of the princes and grandsons. He tried his best to refute in his heart, but he was silent for several moments but only said in a low voice;
"If I were a general, this kind of thing would never happen."
Hearing this, Chen Zihua turned around and patted his shoulder and said;
"It would be great if things in this world were so simple, but it's a pity that things are unpredictable! You can't help but make the decision yourself. You see, the Annan soldiers and I are like brothers. In other words, they are not my stepping stones.
What? I can’t explain...I can’t explain clearly, I can’t see through it!”
"Then...I..."
Yang Huang wanted to refute something, but several "quacking" sounds suddenly sounded in the sky
I looked up and saw a group of birds appearing in the distant sky. They were fiery red and lined up in a row, flying from a distance, just like a burning arrow!
"Here! Emperor Hong, a bird in the Yunhua Realm. This bird is born with four wings. It is quite large in shape. It has fiery red feathers. It likes to fly in flocks. It is rich in stars and moon. There are many rivers by the river. It does not hurt people. However, the meat is extremely delicate and is considered delicious.
!”
Seeing the confusion in Yang Huang's eyes, Chen Zihua couldn't help but say;
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw hundreds of arrows suddenly flying out from the foot of the mountain, densely packed into a pitch black area, heading straight towards the group of flying emperors. When the arrows came close to him, they suddenly made a loud noise and exploded.
Come, hundreds of arrows burst together, and the roaring sound suddenly echoed through the sky.
"Tsk, tsk, look, this is the flowering arrow developed by the Yuwen family. With one shot, the enemy formation explodes instantly, like a flower. There are countless casualties in all directions. This is specially designed to deal with the little monsters in the body realm, but it is actually used by these losers.
After hunting, I don’t know how many of the Dihongs will be left intact?”
Chen Zihua licked his lips and said with some regret
"This...is this also something from our Yuwen family?"
Yang Huang was a little surprised!
"No, no... now it belongs to His Majesty... What? The Yuwen family has been passed down for dozens of generations, and there are several generations who have died like this. They have been fighting these beasts for so many years. Do you think they have nothing good?
?This is quite childish..."
While the two were talking, the thick smoke caused by the explosion in the sky gradually dissipated, and only a few of the emperors who were in groups just now were left, and their color was not as red as before.
, called out "quack" a few times, which was quite lonely and sad, and a few of them actually fell from the sky while flying, causing bursts of shouts from the soldiers training at the foot of the mountain!
Yang Huang looked at it with greedy eyes, looking eager to try, and tentatively asked Chen Zihua;
"Uh...Uncle Chen...I..."
"how?"
Chen Zihua saw through his Xiao Jiujiu at a glance, smiled and said
"You want to go to the military camp?"
"Uh-huh"
Yang Huang nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Okay! Listen carefully! This is what your father wants me to warn you."
"Father?"
When Yang Huang heard this, he straightened his chest slightly and bowed to listen.
"Ahem!"
Chen Zihua coughed lightly and said slowly, imitating Yu Wenwu;
"I know that you are restless, and you are a descendant of my Yuwen family. But you have to remember that you have to look good and study hard in the army this year. The army is no better than at home. You are not a young master. You
I'm just a little Yunqi Lieutenant, but he's a gift. Don't cause trouble for me, or else be careful of your bad legs...
