The most difficult system to open in history

Therefore, the two generals looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. One of them turned his head and was about to speak, but found that the figures of the two had moved away and disappeared into the crowd between.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Sun Qian took Peng Mu, still searching through Liuye Lane, and then Peng Mu looked at the increasingly rare crowd around him and the extremely quiet environment, and asked softly:

"Lieutenant Sun, where are we going?"

"This is still Liuye Lane, but it's just the back door. For the houses in Liuye and Zizhu Alley, the front door is generally closed unless there are distinguished guests or important events happening, so the female relatives and others come in and out through the back door."

After Sun Cockroach finished speaking, he took Peng Mu to a secluded forest in the backyard of Liuye Lane, and then the former slowly hid his figure in the increasingly dense vegetation in spring, watching a room not far away. House house, look flickering, silent.

After that, Peng Mu also gradually concealed his burly body. As an extremely elite fighter in the Endless Mountain, although both of them were soldiers, not regular scouts, the basic hiding skills could still be easily completed.

"The person you want to see is in the house in front of you?"

Peng Mu, who was half squatting, stared at the back door of the house painted with red paint not far away. After the voice faded out, Sun Cockroach did not answer, but nodded, and then Peng Mu frowned, and continued Opened the mouth and said:

"How deep is the gate of this house?"

When this question came out, Sun Cockroach, who had a dark complexion and messy hair, was silent for a while before responding:

"Ten years ago it was seven feet, but now, I don't know."

Chapter 0928 Don't Dare To Watch Anymore

The wind is calm and the sun is warm, and the spring is shining, and butterflies and bees come into the house indiscriminately.

The scenery in mid-April is undoubtedly refreshing.

It was noon at this time, and the sun hanging high above the head released a strong light, which sprinkled on the grove behind Liuye Lane, leaving interlaced and speckled shadows on the ground.

Under the warm spring sun, the servants of the mansion who occasionally passed by this small forest failed to notice that there were two elite soldiers from Endless Mountain hidden in the mottled forest not far away.

Peng Mu squatted on his left knee, bowed to stabilize his burly body, completely concealed his whole body in the shadow of the forest, and concealed all the aura of his body, like a wooden stake, which made it difficult for people to pass by outside. It's hard for people to find out.

Then the deputy commander of the Endless Mountain Shield Army followed the movement of the sun in the sky, adjusted his figure, and then woke up suddenly, turned his head to look at Sun Qian who was staring straight ahead, and said solemnly:

"Lieutenant Sun, I just figured it out. I am the deputy commander of the Endless Mountain Shield Armor Army, and you are also a lieutenant colonel conferred by the imperial court. In Daxia, the two of us will be rewarded wherever we go." Courtesy, and our feet are the capital of the imperial capital, why should we hide as carefully as if we were on the battlefield?

"You want to hide from people, but we can just wait on the side of the road ostentatiously, so we're not being thieves!"

After Peng Mu finished speaking, he made a gesture to get up, but was grabbed by the middle-aged man Sun Qian beside him, and then the latter's low voice sounded:

"Commander Peng, this is the Liuye Lane where almost all the military generals of the dynasty lived. It is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and every general was a good soldier when they were young. Your figure is so conspicuous, it is easy to attract attention. , it will be troublesome to explain it at that time, right?"

Speaking of this, Sun Qian grinned open his half-toothless mouth, showed a very creepy smile to Peng Mu, and continued to speak:

"Master Commander, you insist on following this trip, but you can't hold me back, and we can still communicate. You must know that I was under the wolf's claws outside the Yulong Pass back then, and saved your life!"

Seeing Sun Cockroach's uneasy look in front of him, Peng Mu nodded, and then hid his figure again. Then he raised his head and continued to look at the vermilion gate in front of him that hadn't moved for a long time, and stroked his chin gently. Opened the mouth and said:

"Lieutenant Sun, since you insist on communicating with me, let me tell you about my discovery. Just now you said that the gate of the house in front of us was seven feet long, which is the standard of a third-rank official. Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, they have been extremely rare, and the people who live in Liuye Lane are mainly military officers, and according to the middle rank of the Great Xia Army, the lowest third rank is General Guide!"

As soon as Peng Mu's voice fell, Sun Cockroach on the side narrowed his eyes, showing a little reminiscence, and then said:

"Zheng Sanpin, General Yunhui!"

"That's even more remarkable, but I have to say that after so many years, the owner of the mansion in front of him may not be as beautiful as before."

After Peng Mu's voice fell, he raised his right hand and pointed to the back door of the mansion in front of him, and his voice continued to come out faintly:

"Lieutenant Sun, look at the color of the paint on the back door. Although it is still bright red, the luster is relatively dull. It should be because it has not been renovated for several years. The vegetation around the back room of the mansion is also a bit messy, which also shows that it has not been renovated for a long time. Renovation, which is quite different from the mansions in the backyards of other officials around.

"So this family may have fallen, Captain Sun should be mentally prepared."

"Actually, I don't know if the person I want to look at from a distance is still here."

After a slightly melancholy voice came out of Sun Qian's mouth, the pupils of this dark-faced middle-aged soldier were slightly slack, and then his face became extremely lonely in an instant, and the low and inaudible voice was faint and out:

"Actually, I just can't let go!"

But before this soft exclamation fell, Peng Mu's excited voice rang directly beside his ears:

"Look, look, the door is open, the door is open."

As soon as he said this, Sun Cockroach raised his head abruptly, then leaned forward with his whole body, his eyes fixed on the vermilion gate that was slowly opening not far ahead, and what Peng Mu, who was also staring at the gate, did not know Yes, Sun Cockroach was trembling slightly at this moment.

In a person's life, no matter how powerful he is, there will always be times when his soul trembles and his body trembles uncontrollably.

As the middle-aged soldier Sun Cockroach said just now, because he cares, because he can't let go, he can't be himself.

Under the sunlight at noon in spring, the vermilion door slowly opened. Under the gaze of two eyes, a rather old man who looked like a housekeeper walked out from behind the door. Falsely, he opened the door and said:

"Miss Chang, although it is already the season of spring and the flowers are blooming, the temperature is still cold, and you are not in good health. In fact, you don't need to come out to greet me in person. You can just let the old servant wait here."

"It's okay, I haven't seen Hao'er for a long time, and the Bodhisattva Linglong of Canglan City said that more exposure to the sun is good for the body's recovery."

Then an extremely soft and gentle female voice sounded from behind the door, and after the voice fell, there was a burst of violent coughing.

At the same time, in the grove not far away, Peng Mu could even feel the cockroach beside him, who had stopped breathing. Then the latter stretched out his right hand and pressed Peng Mu's shoulder.

A strong force came from his shoulders, and Peng Mu could clearly feel the extremely complicated and flustered aura of the middle-aged soldier beside him.

The elite soldiers who have fought in the Great Xia for so many years, each has a strong mentality that stands upright before thousands of alien troops charge the torrent without changing their expressions. They are the strongest and calmest barriers in the entire Great Xia.

But it was this thick barrier that was trembling violently at this moment, and at the same time it was clearly transmitted from his shoulders to Peng Mu's body.

"Lieutenant Sun, hold on tight!"

Peng Mu opened his mouth and let out a low shout, and then the two of them fixed their eyes on the figure who followed the old housekeeper out of the back door.

It was a tall middle-aged woman with simple clothes. Although it was spring, she was still wrapped in thick white cotton clothes. The white fluff on the clothes and her thin body looked like It's like a group of catkins swaying in the wind, which will be blown away by the wind in the next second.

Under the noon sun, the middle-aged woman's face was as bloodless and pale as a snow field, and what was even more striking was that her hair was completely white without any color.

Sun Cockroach in the woods not far away, the moment he saw the white silk on his head, he burrowed directly behind the tree next to him, and then turned his back.

dare not look again.

Chapter 0929 Going the opposite way

In a long life, most of the people are just like passers-by on the street, who eventually become passers-by in their lives, and it is difficult to remember when they meet next time.

But for some people, even if the years have changed her appearance and body shape, and even dyed her hair full of black hair into white like snowflakes, no matter how long it has passed, Guangguang can be with her with just a silhouette and a voice. The lingering figures in my mind overlapped directly in one place.

But when the reality really shines into the dream, it makes people retreat subconsciously, not daring to look at it, and not daring to face it.

The middle-aged soldier Sun Qian, whose body has never flinched under the torrent of alien charges for more than ten years, now like a coward, slipped into the shadows.

Both Peng Mu and Sun Cockroach have cultivation bases, so they could vaguely hear some conversations at the back door of the mansion not far away, and then the two held their breaths, trying to hear the words of the middle-aged woman and the old housekeeper.

"Miss Chang, I have already passed the news of your return from the treatment of the Linglong Sect in Canglan City to the Eldest Young Master. He must be on his way back non-stop, but I dare to ask this old slave. Is there a cure for the stubborn disease on Miss' body?"

After the old butler's old questioning voice fell, she stood in the sun. Although her face was pale, she could vaguely see that the middle-aged woman who had a pretty face when she was young pulled up the hood behind her and covered the extremely weird hair on top of her head. With white hair, a soft response came out:

"Mr. Zhou, you also know that my illness is a heart disease. It can't be cured by relying on the spiritual things of heaven and earth alone. The female Bodhisattva of the Linglong Sect just gave me some medicines to strengthen the foundation, nourish the vitality, nourish the qi and cure the deficiency. , the key still depends on myself.”

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she sighed faintly, and continued to speak:

"In fact, these years, if Mr. Dong Guo from the Great Xia Academy often came here to use his cultivation to save my life, I would have died a few years ago. It was my eldest brother and Hao'er who kept me going."

"Miss Chang, don't ever have the idea of ​​committing suicide again. Although our Song Mansion has not been as brilliant as it used to be in recent years, there are still many people who care about you, especially the Patriarch. Be sure to send a letter back to inquire about your situation."

When the old housekeeper said this, he paused for a few breaths, took a deep breath, and continued to speak:

"There is also the young master, although because of the reason of the academy, he can't serve you all year round, but the wife of the head of the house passed away early, and the young master is at odds with the second wife, so he almost treats you like a mother, you can't leave him behind. he."

After the old butler's earnest persuasion fell, the middle-aged woman under the hood showed a faint smile, and then coughed and responded:

"I was anxious to come back from Canglan City this time, mainly because I heard that Hao'er was going to take part in the imperial examination. I thought this kid would stay in Bingzhou for the rest of his life?"

"Young master has great talent in mind. He went to Bingzhou only because His Majesty wanted three thousand Confucian scholars to go out of Shenjing to establish the Daxia Academy. Now that the academy is on the right track, whether it is Mr. Dong Guo or the master , it is impossible to bury the talent of the young master."

After the old butler finished speaking, he looked proud, because the hope of returning the mansion to glory rested on the young master, and the latter had never disappointed, and had always been the pride of everyone. The butler turned his head, looked at the end of Liuye Lane, and continued with a joyful voice:

"Miss Chang, everything is getting better. A grand celebration was held in Shenjing City yesterday to celebrate this hard-won victory. This great victory on the Western Frontier battlefield also means that the master will gain extremely rich military exploits this time. In order to honor the lintel and return to the glory of the old man, the old man has not been back for almost five years, but this time, it is time to return to his hometown!"

There was a strong sigh in the voice of the old housekeeper, and then the middle-aged woman beside him nodded slightly and said:

"Actually speaking, I haven't seen my eldest brother and Hao'er for a long time, and I don't know how they have become. In fact, I know that there are still people in this world who care about me."

After the woman finished speaking, she also looked at the end of the street, and then stopped talking. Her weak figure standing outside the vermilion gate seemed to have really become a group of willow catkins struggling to survive in the spring breeze. What the housekeeper and the middle-aged woman didn't know was that in the shadow of the forest in the distance behind them, there were also two silent Wulongshan soldiers from Yulongguan.

Sun Cockroach still hid his figure in the shadows, while Peng Mu stared at everything in front of him with his eyes open, and then the latter frowned slightly, and said softly:

"Lieutenant Sun, you just put your back on your back like a coward and dare not even look at him?"

After Peng Mu's voice fell, the middle-aged soldier squatting in the shadows did not speak for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to respond:

"I've already seen it once, and I'm satisfied. This time, the goal of returning to the capital of God has been achieved. Let's go back!"

"Just leave like this, are you willing? Just now, although most of the voices were not clear because of the distance, I can hear the word "stubborn disease" clearly. Do you really want to leave like this without seeing the previous side? "

Peng Mu asked two times in a row, Sun Cockroach clenched his right fist tightly, turned his head slowly, looked into Peng Mu's extremely serious eyes, and said word by word:

"If you are not reconciled, what can you do? You heard the word "mother" just now, and you want me to stay and watch the reunion of mother and child happily?

"More than ten years have passed, things have changed, and look at me, half of my teeth are missing, and my skin is dark and full of scars. Even if I stand in front of people, others can't recognize them. What's the point of being speechless and only increasing troubles?"

"Don't draw conclusions on everything, maybe things are not what you imagined."

As soon as Peng Mu's words fell, Sun Cockroach slowly stood up, shook his head, and then slowly raised his feet and stepped forward, but his walking direction was towards the depths of the jungle, running in the opposite direction from the mansion in Liuye Lane behind him.

At this moment, perhaps because of something in her heart, the white-haired woman outside the vermilion gate subconsciously turned her head to look at the forest not far away.

But what caught her eyes was the gradually lush woods and the mottled shade of the trees. However, what the middle-aged woman didn't hear was that there was a faint sound of wind leaking in the depths of the jungle:

"The lonely white rabbit, running around here and there, his clothes are not as good as new ones, and his people are not as good as old ones.

"However, the old man wears new clothes and marries as another man's wife."

Chapter 0930 Second Junior Brother

"Miss Chang, what are you looking at?"

Outside the vermilion back door of the Song Mansion in Liuye Lane, the old housekeeper looked at the middle-aged woman who was turning her head and staring at the forest in the distance, and opened her mouth to make a soft inquiry, and then the white-haired woman standing under the sun raised her head. Covering his heart with his right hand, he said with a slightly confused voice:

"Housekeeper, just now my heart suddenly felt cramped, and I felt familiar eyes looking at me in the forest."

"Miss Chang, is your heart starting to throb again?"

The old butler's old face suddenly changed, and then he quickly raised his hand to move towards the half-open door. Immediately, two female family members stepped out quickly to support the trembling middle-aged woman, and then the old man The butler continued to sound anxiously:

"Hurry up, first help Miss Chang go back to the house and lie down, and have someone prepare the medicine for calming the nerves."

"No, I'm fine."

A soft response came from the woman's mouth, and then she slowly took a breath, and after calming down a little, she continued to turn her gaze to the forest that was under the sun, but it was dark for some reason, raised her foot and took a step forward. out, the weak voice continued:

"I think there is something very important in that forest, help me to see it."

"Miss Chang, this forest has existed since Liuye Lane was built, and there are generals patrolling it on weekdays, and there is nothing unusual. Miss Chang must be too tired to have some delusions."

After the voice of the old housekeeper fell, the middle-aged woman was about to respond when she saw a horse galloping towards the alley in the form of a black shadow. In just a few breaths, the black shadow came and stopped in front of everyone. Next, a young man in a white Confucian shirt jumped off the horse. It was Xin Hao, a Confucian scholar who had just returned to Beijing from Bingzhou.

Xinhao's originally extremely calm face was showing uncontrollable excitement at this time, and he quickly walked up to the middle-aged woman, knelt down, and said loudly:

"Xinhao saw his aunt, and it's been a long time since he left, but his aunt is always Xinhao's concern."

The arrival of the young Confucian scholar caused the white-haired woman to look away from the forest in the distance, and then she looked at the young Confucian scholar who seemed to have grown up and matured in front of her, a pale face under the hood showed a faint With a smile, a soft voice came out:

"Long time no see, Hao'er has really become a grown-up who can protect others from wind and rain. I can't even recognize my aunt."

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she bowed to help the young Confucian scholar up, and the voice continued:

"It seems that tempering outside is indeed beneficial. Your skin is dark and healthy. At that time, the eldest brother wanted you to inherit your father's career and join the army. It was you who insisted on joining the Confucianism School, which is now the Daxia Academy. Eldest brother has always been brooding about it, and now that the imperial examination is approaching, Haoer must not let elder brother take it lightly."

After hearing the words, the young Confucian scholar Xin Hao got up, reached out to support the middle-aged woman in front of him, and then said in a grateful voice:

"Even if it is to not disappoint my aunt, Hao'er will do her best in this big court test. If it wasn't for my aunt's constant support and my father's support for my aunt, I'm afraid it would be impossible for me to go my own way."

"Don't do it for me, but do it for yourself, for Daxia and the whole world, just like the four-style vision you often think about."

For some reason, when the middle-aged woman said this, her whole body paused, and then in her mind, an extremely long-ago memory picture that she was careful not to recall again jumped directly into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Afterwards, this memory clearly emerged like a picture scroll unfolding. In this picture scroll, every detail is so clear, and every word seems to ring directly in the ears.

He was a gentleman who was as tall and straight as a pine tree and gentle as jade. He always wore a meticulous white Confucian shirt, just like the young Confucian scholar Xin Hao in front of him at this time. His eyes were calm and confident, as if he wanted to accommodate the whole thing in his eyes.

He likes to look at the lights of thousands of houses rising in the distance in the spring with his hands behind his back, and also likes to shake his head and read books in the middle of the night. Those who don’t understand him always feel that he is self-denying and meticulous in words and deeds every day, and he is an idiot. Those who really understand him know that what he sees is the whole world.

Unknowingly, the middle-aged woman under the sun had tears streaming down her face, and then she suddenly took off the hood that covered her entire face, and her whole hair was covered with white silk fluttering in the wind, and then under the worried eyes of the people around, Stretching out his right hand, pointing to the forest in the distance, he cried out in a crying voice:

"Hao'er, take me there. I seem to feel that he has been here, and he is there. If I don't go and see, I'm not reconciled."
