Northern.

The yellow sand is thousands of miles, and the desert is smoky.

In late summer and early autumn, the scope of yellow sand is becoming more and more extensive.

The entire northern region was shrouded in a wave of ghosts crying wolf howls, and if it weren't for the natives born and raised in the north, they would definitely feel chills when they saw this scene.

Close to the northern border.

Ning Chen walked on foot, he took steps, faced the long yellow sand, and hurried alone.

From the road ahead, drive all the way straight in, and then turn north more than 100 kilometers to reach the bank of the Red River.

However, the closer you get to the north, the more an invisible oppressive aura permeates the entire void.

Ning Chen did not rush to the road, but held the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow in his hand, deliberately restrained his pace, according to common sense, once he stepped into the northern boundary line, he would inevitably encounter resistance.

At this moment, there was also an old man and a seven or eight-year-old child walking with Ning Chen, although the old man was old, his pace was steady and energetic.

He carried the toddler on his shoulder, and the toddler was playing with the tambourine with great interest, and shook it gently, and the sound of the drum accompanied by the yellow sand reflected a special charm.

The yellow sand around is swirling, and it is empty.

Only the three of them at the moment hurried on foot.

The old man surnamed Mu Mingyun glanced at Ning Chen next to him with a kind face, and then his eyes fell on the sword in Ning Chen's hand, and said with a smile, "Jianghu people? ”

Ning Chen nodded, "Sort of." ”

"is so young, he must also be a rising star in the rivers and lakes."

Mu Yun smiled leisurely, a touch of sadness suddenly appeared in the depths of his pupils, shook his head, and sighed alone.

Ning Chen looked at the doorway and said with a smile, "Uncle has also been in the rivers and lakes before, right?" Look at the spirit, you must have practiced it when you were young. ”

"Good eyesight."

Mu Yun was asked by Ning Chen, and suddenly became arrogant, he said, "When I was in the rivers and lakes, I was also the number one person, but unfortunately I ...... later."

He shook his head and fell silent again.

Ning Chen didn't ask much, raised his head, and looked at him for a long time.

Five minutes later, a black front line loomed under the yellow sand, three hundred miles apart, and the whole team formed a line, and the leader was looking east and west, with a solemn expression.

Compared to Ning Chen's demeanor, Mu Yun's expression froze instantly, and then he gasped.

Through his cloudy vision, he saw that under the front line three hundred meters away, a large flag was erected, and two big characters composed of gold threads were sewn on it, Nalan!

"This is the light cavalry of the Nalan royal family."

Mu Yun's expression was flustered, and he subconsciously hugged the young child in his arms.

"I heard that the young marshal of the Ning family is going back to the north, I didn't believe it at first, but now I suddenly met the cavalry of the Nalan royal family, it seems that he is really back."

Mu Yun trembled and looked heavy.

The enmity between Ning Hetu and the Nalan royal family has long been spread in the north, almost to the point that everyone knows about it.

The old man in front of him had naturally heard of it.

"Do you know this?" Mu Yun turned his head and asked Ning Chen.

Ning Chen smiled but did not speak, and subconsciously clenched the big cool dragon bird in his hand.

Mu Yun didn't care about the change in Ning Chen's expression, raised his head, and chattered, "In our north, there are countless private armies of the royal family, and this light cavalry of the Nalan royal family is even more of the best, but it is ......."

"But this one, it's not the first turn, outside the northern Saiwai, the only light cavalry recognized as the strongest in combat effectiveness is Duo ** Wei."

When the old man said this, his expression was excited, and he turned his head again to ask Ning Chen, "Have you heard of Duo ** Wei?" ”

"Grandpa, is Duo **Wei Xiao Li Guanghuarong's team? I think I've heard you say that it's known as the first hussar in the north? and Chen Qingzhi's first heavy cavalry, each accounting for half of the country? ”

Without waiting for Ning Chen to open his mouth, the young child in the old man's arms, puffed out his cheeks, and replied in advance.

Mu Yun rubbed his grandson in his arms, nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

At this time, the ordinary people who were hurrying nearby, because of the sudden appearance of the cavalry of the Nalan family, gathered in twos and threes, about fourteen or fifteen people.

It's all passers-by.

There are young and old, and there are young girls who are dressed simply.

When it comes to Duo **Wei, you can't avoid Ninghetu.

In just a few sentences, the young marshal of the Ning family was mentioned several times in a row, thinking that now the north is in chaos again, all because of the young marshal's thoughts, which can't help but make people's blood boil.

"A young man in his early twenties, powerful enough to change the war situation in the entire north, this kind of person, we are lucky to have one in the north in the past two hundred years."

"I heard that Ning Hetu is coming back, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

Three or five people, chattering and talking, seemed to be very keen to talk about these battlefield events.

However, one of the childish girls, who missed the crowd and approached Ning Chen, glanced at him at first, blushing with shame, and then twisted and pinched, "You are also from the north?" ”

Ning Chen smiled, "Hmm." ”

"Are you hungry or not, I have a bag here for you to eat."

This young girl, who was just starting to fall in love, didn't seem to know how to continue the topic later, so she lowered her head and took out a bag and held it to Ning Chen with both hands.

Ning Chen was also polite, and reached out to take it.

The girl was overjoyed, and then whispered, "My name is Anu, what is your name?" ”

"My name is ......"

Ning Chen paused, and before he could finish the next sentence, there was a sudden burst of horses' hooves between heaven and earth, the speed was very fast, and the timbre was like a tide, rolling in.

Everyone at the scene was stunned, and then their pupils widened.

Because they saw that five hundred meters away from the light cavalry of the Nalan family, another group of light cavalry appeared, wearing white light armor, with white war horses under their crotch, and huge war bows behind their backs.

Under the scorching sun, the white armor was like a knife, emitting bursts of sharp light, as if it was about to cut through the yellow sand.

This scene is too shocking.

"Oh my God, Duo ** Wei."

"Really...... The first light cavalry of our Great North! ”

I didn't know who exclaimed at the scene, and immediately pulled everyone's attention over.

At the same time, the light cavalry of the Nalan family retreated without a fight, and at the moment before the two sides were about to confront, they turned around and fled directly.

Duo **wei did not take advantage of the situation to hold the reins of the horse, but drove straight in, approaching this group of stunned ordinary people.

One in and one out.

Mu Yun, Anu and dozens of others all retreated.

Only Ning Chen did not move.

The childish girl, whose real name is Anu, wanted to remind Ning Chen, but she opened her mouth and found that the entire Duo ** Wei collected her knife and dismounted, kneeling on one knee one by one, facing Ning Chen.

The first rider was the first to kneel on the ground, with a respectful attitude, like a saint.

"Xiao Li Guanghuarong, welcome the return of the young marshal."

"Duo ** Wei, welcome the return of the young marshal."

In an instant, the whole scene fell into dead silence.

"Less, young marshal?"

Mu Yun trembled his lips and looked at Ning Chen with a shocked expression, looking incredulous, "You are Young Marshal Ning, Ning Hetu?" ”

The girl covered Sakura's mouth and gasped.

The young marshal of the Ning family is really back!
