"It's too difficult." Song Hua said in the hall, "The most likely outcome is that you, the disciple, will die in the chaos of the army within three months, with his head in a different place."

Jiang Heng is continuing yesterday. In the hypothetical, after Zheng Guo unified the world, he began to arrange his domestic governance and reform steps, as well as a series of coups, to eliminate dissidents and rectify the court.

When he heard Hai Nu's words, Jiang Heng couldn't help but look up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

As if there was no one around Songhua, he didn't care about his presence at all, and said to Mr. Gui: "If Xiangzhou is still here, maybe he can protect him. If you leave him alone, going to the five countries surrounded by tigers and wolves is tantamount to sending death."

Mr. Ghost said: "Since he is a person who should be robbed, why should he be afraid of thorns? Besides, don't forget that he still has something in his hand."

Jiang Heng said, "Well, there is also the golden seal entrusted to me by the emperor."

On that day, Songhua and Mr. Gui in the hall looked at Jiang Heng and completed his final step of assisting Mingjun and pacifying the world. Every step is thrilling, every step is dangerous, and every step is a way to lose your head. If you lose your own head, you will also affect how many people's heads are lost.

And the biggest problem is that every step exists in Jiang Heng's assumptions, and there is no confirmation on paper. Whenever there is a problem in any part, Jiang Heng will die without a place to be buried, and this world of great contention will not end.

"But I have confidence." Jiang Heng replied.

"Confidence to rule the world?" said Mr. Ghost.

Jiang Heng said seriously: "Confidence in the luck of the world. For thousands of years, every time the land of the Central Plains will save itself, war is not eternal, nor is ruling the world eternal, just like the cycle of yin and yang. I didn't do it, and when I come to Japan, the land of China will usher in a new life again."

Mr. Ghost said: "It's good in the long run, but for everyone involved, it's just a short life, but a few decades, whether it's redemption or sinking, and when will it be the end?"

The hall was quiet for a while, Jiang Heng set up a new imperial court, but heard Mr. Ghost sigh very lightly.

"There is no need to deduce any further." Mr. Ghost said, "Now, sir, I will give you one last question."

Luo Xuan didn't come today. Jiang Heng thought that Mr. Ghost's exam was over, but he didn't expect that there were still problems, waiting for his decision.

"Because Luo Xuan is reluctant to part with you, he is willing to exchange something very important and plead for mercy again and again, so we will give you a choice."

This time, it was Hai Nu Songhua who spoke, and her emotionless voice echoed in the hall, like an ethereal fairy.

"Stay in Cangshan Haige," Song Hua said slowly, "Watching the Xuanwu Seven Stars, you can have an infinite yang life and an ageless face, but everything in the world has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Heng raised his eyes and looked at Songhua.

"Go into the red dust, from now on, Haige will close the door to you. You have to go to the thousand-year calamity of the Shenzhou, no matter whether you live or die, you can no longer ask the teacher for help."

Songhua's voice stopped, and there seemed to be echoes floating around.

In the early morning, Cangshan was silent, with the occasional bird chirping, making the mountain more ethereal.

Jiang Heng walked past the Xianshan pavilion that had taken him in for five years, and the wind chimes rang softly under the corridor.

Luo Xuan sat under the steps facing Changhai with a packed bag under his feet, and glanced at Jiang Heng.

"I knew you would reject him." Luo Xuan said solemnly.

"Master." Jiang Heng's eyes were red, he sat aside and reached out to hug Luo Xuan. He knew that Luo Xuan must have begged Songhua and Mr. Gui to let him stay in the sea pavilion forever. Possessing immortal life and a rejuvenated face... But he didn't accept it. He has already died once, and he has more important responsibilities.

It was the golden seal that Ji Xun personally handed to him, the death of his mother and Xiang Zhou in the fire of war, and the death of Geng Shu—and all these regrets can only be fulfilled on the day when the world of great strife ends.

"Go away! Don't come over! What does it look like?" Luo Xuan impatiently put one hand against Jiang Heng and pushed his head away.

Jiang Heng laughed, but Luo Xuan turned his head away.

"I've packed everything for you," Luo Xuan said. "Let's get out of here, don't come back."

Jiang Heng got up, carried the burden behind him, knelt down to Luo Xuan before reaching the steps, and kowtowed three times.

"Master," Jiang Heng said finally, "in the next life, I would like to be yours... to be yours..."

Jiang Heng thought for a long time and said, "It's okay to be anything."

"I won't be obedient in this life," Luo Xuan mocked. "What are you talking about in the next life? Get out of here. After going down the mountain, live a good life and don't lose my people."

Luo Xuan got up, ignored Jiang Heng, walked up the stairs with his back to him, and returned to the hall.

Jiang Heng walked down the mountain slowly, turned around, and suddenly saw a figure standing at the top of the hall.

"Master!" Jiang Heng shouted with tears in his eyes.

The figure jumped down the hall and disappeared.

In the evening, the setting sun was like blood, reflected on the long sea, sparkling, and a blood-colored river was drawn. Jiang Heng supported the bamboo raft and crossed the Changhai in the wind.

Luo Xuan put a disguise box, a few silver taels, and a medicine bottle in his luggage. The bottle contained three pills of elixir. Jiang Heng remembered that he had seen Luo Xuan refining this medicine four years ago. It could cure serious injuries and poisoning. people.

In addition, there is a rolled up soft sword, which is the sea pavilion god soldier, a sharp sword engraved with the basalt emblem, named "Round Finger Soft", and a change of clothes.

The golden seal and the black sword sank at the bottom of the lake, Jiang Heng decided not to take it out first, after all, it will be long in Japan.

He looked back at Cangshan, and when he looked at the past, Haige was already hidden in the mist.

On the top of the Haige Hall, Luo Xuan poured kerosene over the bookstore, the hall, and the bedroom where he and Jiang Heng lived for many years.

The two sturdy male deer with high horns were put on their chews and stood on the high platform. Mr. Ghost and Hai Nu each rode a deer, watching Luo Xuan busy in the sea pavilion, and then poured kerosene to the entrance of the main hall.

Luo Xuan carried his burden and stood outside the hall.

"Sir," Luo Xuan said, "Thank you, sir, for your stay and teaching. Kindness is hard to repay in this life, and we will only meet again in the next life."

Luo Xuan also knelt down at Mr. Ghost and kowtowed three times.

A gust of wind blew, and Mr. Ghost's fairy robe flew up.

"Luo Xuan, are you really unwilling to follow us?" Mr. Ghost said.

Luo Xuan shook his head, shook the bright fire, bowed, and lit the kerosene.

The flames spread out immediately, swallowing the Haige Hall in the mountain wind.

Hai Nu said: "If you go today, you will say goodbye forever. Luo Xuan, you are poisonous, and you still have..."

Luo Xuan replied: "You don't need to tell me, it's just when it's time. Master, Lord Hai Nu, it's easy to go."

Mr. Ghost said: "We will leave China and go overseas. If there is a chance in the future, we can meet again."

Luo Xuan said solemnly: "There will be a period in the future."

Mr. Ghost and Hai Nu drove the stag and disappeared into the forest. Luo Xuan looked in the direction where Jiang Heng was leaving, spread his arms, stepped out of the high platform, and jumped, revealing the sword print guarded by the Xuanwu Hall behind him, like a bird thrown into the forest, submerged in the vast night.

Northland, Linhu Territory.

There was a dead silence between heaven and earth, and the villages and towns, the hometown of the Linhu people, were on fire. Yong Guo's iron army shuttled back and forth, and Geng Shu rode a tall horse and stationed in front of the horse village. The Linhu people were escorted out by soldiers, and they left the village where they had lived for nearly three hundred years one after another, and moved to Shanyin, another big city outside the Great Wall.

Geng Shu is nineteen years old. Compared with the four years before he came to Luoyan, his body is taller and his appearance has grown. According to Juicong and Empress Dowager Jiang, he was taller and more spiritual than Geng Yuan back then. He is more handsome than Prince Taki, and he has the natural heroic spirit of a warrior. He is the most dazzling general in Yong Kingdom, and also the most heartbreaking prince.

His eyes, like the holy lake of Fenglin people, are always clear and calm, and his fair face lacks the characteristics of Yong people, but instead is full of the gentleness of southerners. The only thing that remains of Geng Yuan's look is that whenever and wherever, he has a calm and indifferent look in his eyes.

He wears the leather armor of the Yongjun style and wears a shoulder pad on his left shoulder. He eats and lives with the soldiers. The Imperial Forest Army and the Black Armor Army are like his brothers, following behind him, giving their lives for him, accompanying him through life and death, and making achievements. .

The rewards he received were never hidden, but were generously distributed to the soldiers. He had no private property, and did not care about merits and titles, just like a loner who had nothing to do with heaven and earth.

It was as if everything outside of him was an open sky and a lonely cloud, and nothing that happened in the world at every moment could ever move him.

Three months ago, he led the Imperial Forest Army to march for the royal family, and swept the Linhu tribe in one fell swoop. This ancient ethnic group belonged to the junction of Donglan Mountain and Xuelin, and was forced to leave their land for the sake of Yong Kingdom's southern expedition plan. , will be integrated into the millions of northern nationalities and join the big family of Yong people.

But this migration dragged the footprints of blood and tears. Geng Shu made a surprise attack that disintegrated all the defensive barriers of the Lin Hu people. Just like the scattered northern tribes in the Benma Mountains when they attacked farther a year ago, and like a year and a half ago, they led the army to quell the rebellion.

Under his command, Wang Qi was like a horse-killing sword, invincible. There are songs in Luoyan City, in front of General Juice, the peaks can be cut off, and the sea can be filled up.

Geng Shu took over the Yongdu Army at the age of seventeen, and went on three expeditions in just two years. The two brothers believed in each other wholeheartedly. Under this tacit understanding, all the domestic obstacles of Yongguo in the north were swept away, condensed into a powerful whole, turned into an unstoppable chariot, roared and ready to go at any time. Will throw out the Yubi Pass and flatten the entire Central Plains.

Of course, before this roaring chariot track, it was inevitable to sacrifice a lot of people blocking the way.

But for the unification of the juice clan, everything is worth it.

Geng Shu looked at the Linhu people who were taken out of the tribe. In the end, the soldiers captured the two brothers. The elder brother was pinned on the muddy ground. The teenager cried and pleaded for him.

This scene reminded him of the day he and Jiang Heng left Xundong many years ago. It seemed like a long, long time, like a lifetime, but it was unexpectedly close to him, as if it happened yesterday.

"Let them go," Geng Shu ordered to his subordinates, "take Luoyan back, let the elder brother serve as the city defense army, and the younger brother raise horses."

Geng Shu could roughly understand what Lin Huren said, but he couldn't speak, and he was too lazy to speak. He turned around on his horse, suddenly aware of the danger, and a subconscious reaction, he suddenly drew his sword.

A dark arrow came flying, and with a "ding" sound, Geng Shu turned around and cut it in half!

There is actually an ambush on the side of the Linhu people's territory! The soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were startled and shot arrows at the tree one after another. Geng Shu turned his head and was about to stop it. All of a sudden, thousands of arrows were fired. , fell three feet high with a muffled sound.

"It's their father," the captain said to Geng Shu, "His Royal Highness, he has been here for two days and two nights."

Geng Shu frowned, the captain dragged the corpse and went over to identify it to the captives. When he was about to order the two brothers to be killed together, Geng Shu said impatiently, "Forget it!"

The order was given only once, but no one dared to disobey. The boy hugged the corpse and cried, was tied up by the royal guard and dragged away.
