"The Holy One has finally returned?"

"Where did he go again?"

He went to the deserted garden of the Nantian Courtyard, and then went to the Huxin Meditation Courtyard where the Queen Mother was retreating. ”

"And now?"

He stayed in the Huxin Retreat and didn't come out. ”

"What do you mean by not coming out?"

"It's like a retreat, but it's not like it. ”

......

Another cold winter is coming, but this cold winter is more difficult for the court officials of Jiankang City than any previous cold winter.

Xiao Yan quietly left Jiankang City not long ago, disappeared from their sight, and finally returned to Jiankang this time, but did not return to the palace to deal with political affairs, but quietly went to a few places in Jiankang City, and then stayed in the Huxin Quiet Courtyard where the Queen Mother imprisoned herself.

It would have been fine if he only needed to adjust his mood for a short time, but as the following words continued to come out, and as the visiting officials left one by one with gloomy expressions, all the officials in Jiankang City began to recognize a fact.

Just like He Xianxing was imprisoned in the deserted garden back then, Xiao Yan imprisoned himself in the Huxin Meditation Courtyard.

"The affairs of the military department are all under the control of General Wei Rui..."

On the road outside the Huxin Courtyard, several important figures in the court were all gloomy.

There is naturally no problem with letting Wei Rui take charge of military affairs, but the key is, where is Wei Rui now?

......

The north of the Southern Dynasties, the south of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the border of the two dynasties, was originally the most desolate and closed place, but at this time, it became the center of news gathering, and these generals on the border knew the major events of the two dynasties the fastest.

In a fortress somewhere on the border with the South Korea, two generals walked slowly up a high slope, trampling on the dead grass with frost flowers, leaving two neat rows of footprints.

Walking in front is Cao Jingzong, the commander of the Mingwei border army, after Wei Rui left, the generals of the border army have also been replaced several times, and Cao Jingzong, who was originally only under Wei Rui in the Mingwei border army, has also experienced several transfers, and even lost the power to run the army for a time, but with the support of the rest of the generals of the border army, he was still transferred back.

Being away from home and constantly fighting wars is not a happy thing, and this process of moving up and down because of the need for power and strategy is even more unpleasant.

Especially when Wei Rui encountered the Demon Sect before and the news of the battle with the Demon Sect came, his face was always covered with frost, and there was rarely a smile.

The general who followed him at this time was Jin Dong.

Jin Dong was originally the defender of Zhongli City and a survivor of Zhongli's First War, after Zhongli's First War, he was too seriously injured and had been taken care of by the Mingwei Army, and a few months later, Cao Jingzong simply managed to transfer him to the Mingwei Army.

Compared with the battle of Zhongli, Jin Dong looked a lot thinner, and he also looked a lot more vicissitudes.

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 former Southern Dynasty generals coveted.

In order to prevent the northerners from advancing south, the best way for the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty was to fight through and reach Luoyang.

But at this time, the cold wind was bleak, and the hearts of the two people were also very bleak.

The military information in Shangqiu and even Luoyang was quickly transmitted to the border troops of the Southern Dynasty in the most urgent way, even at the cost of exposing some military information transmission routes.

The Demon Sect alone stirred up the defense chaos of the entire Northern Wei Dynasty.

Not only were tens of thousands of border troops directly buried in the hands of the Demon Sect, but many of the troops in the fortresses and border cities, especially those elite cavalry troops and a large number of cultivators, were heading towards Shangqiu to help.

For these generals, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As long as he takes the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, he will definitely be able to defeat the Northern Wei army again, and it is even very likely to attack Shangqiu and Luoyang.

If it was more than half a year earlier, the military plane could not be lost, and long before Jiankang issued the order, it may be that the border army of the Southern Dynasty had already poured out of the nest and attacked several important border cities of the Northern Wei Dynasty first.

But now, it all seems to have changed.

The Southern Dynasty seems to have changed its taste, giving people a completely different feeling from when it had just changed to the new dynasty, and the border army has also changed its taste, when many of the Northern Wei Dynasty sneaked a great risk to transmit such news to the border army as quickly as possible, none of the high-ranking generals of the border army took the initiative to take the opportunity to attack.

The border army of the Southern Dynasty didn't know much about the old woman in the palace, but Cao Jingzong and many high-ranking generals could be sure that she must be a powerful cultivator.

In the exact information, the great array that enveloped the entire palace and the astonishing fluctuations of vitality that completely transcended the Divine Mind Realm were enough to prove this.

"I think the people of them are thinking about the same as I do. ”

Cao Jingzong looked at the large area of land shrouded in frost flowers in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and sighed lightly, "It's just that this opportunity was missed, the confluence of the north and the south, I'm afraid it's beyond our control, and I don't know if there is a chance to see it 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 both internal and external troubles, but Cao Jingzong's first sentence, he didn't quite understand.

"Northern Wei Dynasty... In terms of courage, it is difficult for our Southern Dynasty to compare, and it is worthy of admiration. Although I don't know why the Demon Sect disappeared in Shangqiu, if it were to change to our south, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do the same thing as the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

Cao Jingzong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

The white vapor exhaled from his mouth was like a white practice in the cold air.

"If the emperor hadn't made so many mistakes before, even if he just let General Wei Rui ignore the border army, even if he just put Lin Yi in exile and ignore the party... Or if he begins to admit his mistakes, and if he has the ambition to do many things as he did when he ascended the throne, then there will be generals today who advocate sending troops. ”

He exhaled 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 will do this." ”

After saying this, he slowly shook his head again, "This has nothing to do with how brave those people in the Northern Wei Dynasty are, this is completely our own problem." What's more, now that they have completely relied on this courage to temporarily solve the problem of the Demon Sect, at this moment of their common hatred, even if they seize this opportunity, we don't know how many people will die. ”

Jin Dong smiled bitterly.

He knew that Cao Jingzong still had a word that he didn't say.

The dead are not afraid, but the fear is that even the generals do not know what reason to let these soldiers die.

"It's too fast. ”

Cao Jingzong lowered his head, "Shen Yue and He Xiu 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 left the world, and the thoughts of these young people next are even more difficult to fathom. ”

......

Not long after Xiao Yan left the deserted garden of Nantian Courtyard, a carriage arrived at the gate of Nantian Courtyard.

In the battle between Shen Yue and He Xiuxing, the vitality in the sky above the Nantian Courtyard fluctuated very violently, and the Nantian Courtyard was also seriously damaged in the subsequent impact and vibration of the force, and the departure of the students was actually because of the battle that Shen Yue was about to launch, but after leaving, those students were also scattered among the local Zhenwu army and the border army, and most of the teachings of the Nantian Academy also left, but the Nantian Courtyard still did not allow outsiders to enter at will, except for a few teachings still in the Nantian Courtyard, there were still troops guarding around.

The carriage stopped, and a tall young woman stepped out of the carriage.

When the woman reached the door, a teacher in a black shirt appeared in front of her.

"My surname is Chen. ”

The young woman said to the teacher, "There are a lot of people here today, you can avoid it for the time being, and you don't need to ask again." ”

The black-shirted instructor looked at him for a moment, and immediately thought of the identity of this woman, he didn't even hesitate, then nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Not long after, another carriage stopped at the gate of Nantenyuan.

No one came to inquire or stop them, but the people of Nantenin could not ask, or pretend not to see it, but they would not really not look at it.

Several instructors watched the carriage stop in silence in the Nantian Courtyard, and when they saw the two people walking out of the carriage, their bodies trembled slightly.

Words are hard to describe in their eyes.

They knew that something very important must have happened in Nantian Courtyard today, but they didn't expect that Lin Yi would appear directly in their sight like this.

Lin Yi was a student here.

But in the years since he left, he has become the most important figure in the world.

"What are we going to do?"

One of the instructors asked, looking at the rest of the instructors.

"We'd better not do anything. One of the instructors shook his head.

......

Before the deserted garden, the mountain wind blew on Chen Baoyun's face, blowing her long hair.

Compared with a few years ago in Meishan, there is not much childishness on her face.

It can't be said that she is very young women.

can only be said to be a very beautiful, very calm, 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." ”

"Long time no see. ”

Looking at "Chen Baobao", Lin Yi's eyes were also full of emotion.

There was more wind and frost on his face, and it was not the helpless boy in the dilapidated courtyard in the past.

"Thank you. ”

Xiao Shufei looked at Chen Baoyun and thanked her seriously.

"Wei Rui and Yuan Yan will also arrive soon, and your senior brother will also arrive. ”

Chen Baoyun was not polite, but then said softly: "As for Wu Jiaoxi, it should also come soon, since we want to talk, then we will all be together, it will be clearer." ”

Lin Yi sighed, "It's really your consistent style to be so happy." ”

Chen Baoyun glanced at him and smiled, "Fake appearance is also your consistent style." ”

Lin Yi and Xiao Shufei walked in front of her, and naturally stood side by side with her, looking at the deserted garden of Nantian Courtyard.

The practice of He in this deserted garden made him quickly grasp the method of the Great Kuluo cultivation path, if it wasn't for He practice, I don't know if he could really comprehend it before the trip to Meishan.

If he can't, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in Meishan.

The man in this wasteland changed his life, and he never really set foot here.
