The first thousand and twenty chapters return to the deserted garden
"The Holy One is finally back?"
"Where did he go again?"
"He went to the Huangyuan in Nantianyuan, and then went to the Huxin Jingyuan where the Queen Mother retreated."
"What now?"
"He's staying in the Lake Central Jingyuan and can't come out."
"What do you mean you can't come out?"
"It's like practicing in seclusion, but not like it."
…
Another cold winter has arrived, but this cold winter is more difficult for the court officials in Jiankang City than any other cold winter in the past.
Xiao Yan quietly left Jiankang City not long ago and disappeared from their sight. This time he finally returned to Jiankang. However, he did not return to the palace to handle political affairs, but quietly went to Jiankang City.
Several places, and then stayed in the Jingyuan in the middle of the lake where the Empress Dowager was imprisoned.
If it was just a short-term need to adjust one's mood, that would be fine. But as the following oral instructions continued to be spread, and as the visiting officials left one by one with sad expressions, all the officials in Jiankang City began to recognize a person.
fact.
Just like He Xiuxing imprisoned himself in the deserted garden, Xiao Yan imprisoned himself in the Jingyuan in the middle of the lake.
"Military affairs are all under the control of General Wei Rui..."
On the road outside Huxin Jingyuan, several important figures in the court looked gloomy.
There is no problem in letting Wei Rui take charge of military affairs, but the key is, where is Wei Rui now?
…
The north of the Southern Dynasty, the south of the Northern Wei, and the border between the two dynasties were originally the most desolate and information-blocked places. However, at this time, they became the center where information gathered. These generals on the border were the quickest to know.
Major events that occurred in the two dynasties.
In a certain fortress on the border of the Southern Dynasty, two generals walked slowly up a high slope. They stepped on the dead grass covered with frost, leaving two neat rows of footprints.
Walking in front was Cao Jingzong, the commander of the Mingwei Border Army. After Wei Rui left, the generals of the border army also changed several times. Cao Jingzong, who was originally ranked only under Wei Rui among the Mingwei Border Army, also experienced several changes.
He was transferred several times and even lost the power to command the army for a time. However, with the support of the other generals of the border army, he was transferred back.
Being far away from home and constantly fighting is not a happy thing in the first place. This process of being moved up and down due to the need for political intrigue is even more unpleasant.
Especially after the news about Wei Rui's previous encounter with the Demon Sect and his battle with the Demon Sect came out, his face was always covered with frost and he rarely smiled.
The general following him at this time was Jin Dong.
Jin Dong was originally the guard of Zhongli City and a survivor of the Zhongli Battle. After the Zhongli Battle, he was too seriously injured and was taken care of by the Mingwei Army. A few months later, Cao Jingzong simply managed to transfer him to the Mingwei Army.
.
Compared with the battle of Zhongli, Jin Dong looked much thinner and more vicissitudes of life.
Two people stood on the slope.
At this time, this hillside belonged to the Northern Wei Dynasty last year, and behind this hillside was a large area of territory that the generals of the Southern Dynasties previously dreamed of.
In order to prevent the Northerners from advancing southward, the best way for the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties was to fight across the border and reach Luoyang.
But at this time, the cold wind was blowing, and both of them felt very desolate.
The military information in Shangqiu and even Luoyang was quickly transmitted to the border troops of the Southern Dynasty in the most urgent manner, even at the expense of exposing some military information transmission routes.
Mo Zong alone caused chaos in the defense of the entire Northern Wei Dynasty.
Not only were tens of thousands of border troops directly killed in the hands of the Demon Sect, many troops from fortresses and border towns, especially those elite cavalry and a large number of practitioners, were heading towards Shangqiu to aid.
For these generals, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As long as we take the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, we will definitely defeat the Northern Wei army again, and it is very likely that we will even go straight to Shangqiu and Luoyang.
If military aircraft had not been lost more than half a year earlier, the Southern Dynasty's border troops might have been out in force before Jiankang issued the order, and they would have attacked several important border towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty first.
But now, everything seems to have changed.
The Southern Dynasty seemed to have changed. It gave people a completely different feeling from when they just changed to the new dynasty. The frontier army had also changed its taste. When many of the Northern Wei Dynasty's lurkers took great risks and used the fastest speed to convey such news to
The frontier army and all the high-ranking generals of the frontier army did not take the initiative to take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
The border troops of the Southern Dynasty did not know much about the old woman in the palace, but Cao Jingzong and many high-ranking generals were certain that she must be a powerful practitioner.
According to the exact information, the large formation that enveloped the entire palace and the astonishing energy fluctuations that completely transcended the realm of divine consciousness were enough to prove this point.
"I think they think about the same thing as me."
Cao Jingzong looked at the vast land of the Northern Wei Dynasty that was shrouded in frost and sighed, "It's just that we missed this opportunity. The merger of the north and the south may be beyond our control. I don't know if we will have the chance to see it again in this life."
"What?"
Jin Dong was stunned. He could understand Cao Jingzong's last few words. After all, the Demon Sect had become the real Demon King, while the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty were suffering from internal and external troubles. However, he didn't quite understand Cao Jingzong's first words.
.
"The Northern Wei Dynasty... in terms of courage, it is difficult to compare with our Southern Dynasty, which is worthy of admiration. Although I don't know why the Demon Sect disappeared in Shangqiu, but if it were in our south, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do what the Northern Wei Dynasty did."
Cao Jingzong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
The white steam coming out of his mouth was like a white streak in the cold air.
"If the emperor hadn't made so many mistakes before, even if he just left General Wei Rui on the border and ignored him, even if he just exiled Lin Yi to the party and ignored him...or if he started to admit his mistakes, he would be like when he ascended the throne.
If you are ambitious and do many things, there will definitely be generals who will advocate sending troops today."
He took a long breath, but his brows furrowed instead, "Now even he may not have the confidence to unify the north and the south, so who else would do this?"
After saying this, he slowly shook his head, "This has nothing to do with how brave those people in the Northern Wei Dynasty are. This is entirely our own problem. What's more, now they have completely relied on this courage to temporarily solve the devil.
Regarding the sect’s issue, at a time when they share the same hatred, even if we seize this opportunity, we don’t know how many people will die.”
Jin Dong smiled bitterly.
He knew that Cao Jingzong still had something he had not said.
We are not afraid of the dead, but what we are afraid of is that even the generals do not know the reasons for sending these soldiers to die.
"Too fast."
Cao Jingzong lowered his head, "Shen Yue and He Xiuxing are dead, the empress dowager is also dead, and now the empress dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty is also dead... These old people have passed away, and the thoughts of these young people next are even more difficult to figure out.
"
…
Shortly after Xiao Yan left the Huangyuan of Nantianyuan, a carriage arrived at the gate of Nantianyuan.
During the battle between Shen Yue and He Xiuxian, the vitality above Nantianyuan fluctuated violently. Nantianyuan was also seriously damaged in the subsequent power impact and shock. The student's departure was actually due to the plan Shen Yue was about to launch. After the First World War, those students were scattered among the local Zhenwu Army and the Frontier Army. Most of the teachers at Nantianyuan also left, but Nantianyuan still did not allow outsiders to enter at will. Except for a few teachers, they were still in Nantianyuan. Outside, there are still troops guarding the surrounding areas.
The carriage stopped, and a tall young woman walked out of the carriage.
When the woman walked to the door, a teacher wearing a black shirt appeared in front of her.
"My surname is Chen."
The young woman said to the instructor, "There are many people here today. You can avoid them for now, so you don't have to ask again."
The black-shirted instructor's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of the woman's identity. Without any hesitation, he nodded and said, "I understand."
Not long after, another carriage stopped at the gate of Nantianyuan.
No one will come to ask or stop me, but the people in Nantianyuan can not ask, or pretend not to see it, but they will not really not see it.
Several teachers in Nantianyuan watched the carriage stop in silence. When they saw the two people walking out of the carriage, their bodies trembled slightly.
There were emotions in their eyes that were difficult to describe in words.
They knew that something very important must happen in Nantianyuan today, but they did not expect that Lin Yi would appear directly in their sights like this.
Lin Yi was a student here.
But in the few years since he left, he has become the most important figure in the world.
"What are we going to do?"
One teacher looked at the other teachers and asked.
"We'd better not do anything." One instructor shook his head.
…
In front of the deserted garden, the mountain wind blew on Chen Baowuan's face, blowing her long hair.
Compared with a few years ago in Meishan, her face no longer looked childish.
We can no longer say that she is very girly.
I can only say that she is a very beautiful, calm and heroic young woman.
Hearing the footsteps on the road behind her, she quickly turned around and looked at Lin Yi and Xiao Shufei who appeared in her field of vision. She smiled and said seriously: "Long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Looking at "Baby Chen", Lin Yi's eyes were also full of emotion.
His face had more of a weathered look, and he was not the helpless young man he once was in that dilapidated courtyard.
"Thank you."
Xiao Shufei looked at Chen Baowan and thanked her seriously.
"Wei Rui and Yuan Yan will be here soon, and so will your senior brother."
Chen Baowan was not rude and just continued softly: "As for Professor Wu, he should be here soon. Since we want to talk, let's do it together. It will be clearer."
Lin Yi sighed, "It's your usual style to be so happy."
Chen Baowan glanced at him and smiled, "It's your usual style to be fake."
Lin Yi and Xiao Shufei walked up to her and naturally stood level with her, looking at the deserted garden in Nantianyuan.
The technique taught by He Xiuxian in this deserted garden allowed him to quickly grasp the method of Dajura cultivation. If it hadn't been for He Xiuxian, I don't know if he would have really achieved anything before his trip to Meishan. comprehend.
If not, he might not be able to survive in Meishan.
This person in this deserted garden changed his life, but he had never really stepped foot here. (To be continued)
