the enlightener says

"Otherwise... Before it's too late, I'll tell my parents to take Uncle Zhang to my house first?"

"Your parents?" Zhang Mingqi was slightly taken aback.

"That's right." The building laughed, "Last night, the students of Taixuetang had a special holiday, have you forgotten? My family members all know that I will go out with the army today, and they even said that they would come to the street to see us off."

"Oh." Zhang Mingqi nodded. Since he joined the army, he has added a lot of military affairs, and he didn't always stay in the Imperial Academy. "That's a good thing. However, I don't need it here. My father has someone to take care of it."

The building looked at Zhang Mingqi: "Who is it?"

Zhang Mingqi didn't hide it, and said: "I also know that my father is seriously ill and needs someone to take care of him, but I have to stay in the military camp and don't have much time to go home, so I asked someone to inquire about it... It's just the beginning of the month. A country girl came to the building before. She came to Jianye City to look for relatives, but her relatives have long since passed away. At this moment, there is no place to stay. I think she is an honest girl, so I gave all my salary for this month. Let her go and ask her to help take care of my father."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Qian smiled and said: "She is a girl, can she take care of your father?"

Zhang Mingqi nodded, thinking of that face that was not bright and charming, but looked extraordinarily clean, when she smiled, it was like a ray of bright light shining into the old building.

"Laundry, cooking, decoction and cleaning are good at everything. Compared with her, I..." He smiled shyly, "With my little ability, I can still live with rough old men in the army." Okay, if my father hadn't been seriously ill, he would be able to work better than me."

The building and Zhao Qian laughed at the same time.

"Ah, it's my father and mother!" The building's eyes suddenly lit up, and the hand that had stopped was raised high again, waving continuously towards the front. Of course, his relatives also discovered him early, and waved their hands to greet him. call.

His father's words were full of scenes of making great achievements, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes; his mother wiped her tears and said that she must be careful when going into battle, if she doesn't get ahead, it's good to survive... and His younger sister, who was only ten years old, opened her eyes curiously and shouted while jumping, "Brother! Are you going to be a great hero?"

Lou Lou tried his best to let out a breath, making himself look more upright, and when passing by them, he replied vigorously: "Your brother, I am going to be a hero this time!"

It's just that no one knows, after traveling thousands of miles, will everyone make contributions and return triumphantly, or will they be short of breath and shrouded in horse leather?

Chapter 466 The two came together

"You are really sick! Really sick..." Qin Ke panted heavily, only feeling weak for a while, just that sword, he had exhausted his strength, and the blood in his body could no longer be maintained. He began to return to Dantian along the meridian according to the established route, he began to lose strength, and sat down on the ground again.

"You're a bastard." Qin Ke stared, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

I just came out at night for convenience, but I was frightened half to death by Gao Changgong pretending to be a ghost, and then exhausted all my strength to stab that sword, even my heart suffered a serious setback because of this, and I almost thought I was going to die up.

Gao Changgong smiled slightly, probably knowing that Qin Ke was angry at the moment, so he stopped teasing him, just stood aside, waiting quietly.

Qin Ke rested for more than a dozen breaths, and finally felt that his body had some strength, but it was only "some", and finally stood up with his trembling legs leaning against the tree trunk, but his legs were still weak after all, and he almost fell asleep again. fall.

Gao Changgong leaned over, stretched out a hand, and gently supported him, but he broke free suddenly, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "I don't want your help!"

Gao Changgong raised his hands and smiled helplessly, silently watching Qin Ke stand on his own feet.

"Why are you here?" Qin Ke finally gained a firm footing, continued to lean against the tree trunk to breathe, and asked with some doubts: "Shouldn't you be in Jingwu?"

"That's right, but I'm a general in Jingwu, and I'm not a prisoner in a prison. Where do I want to go?" Gao Changgong shrugged and said, "Just passing by here, I heard that you are here, so why not try it?" Try your skills."

He looked Qin Ke up and down, narrowed his eyes, like a white cat in the Western Regions exuding nobility and arrogance: "I am a little surprised, your realm has grown faster than I imagined, why, this time Did you meet an expert during the year? What peerless secrets did you practice? Or did you take some golden elixir to increase your cultivation? I heard this kind of story in Ming Yuxuan in Jianye City, and it is very interesting."

"I remember that when I left Tang, Mr. Tuo Jing sent a letter back to Jingwu, and later I wrote a letter back to the public loser. You should know what happened after reading it." Qin Ke rolled his eyes, really wanting to explain Are too tired.

"Oh, really?" Gao Changgong pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand to rub Qin Ke's hair, making Qin Ke shake his head reluctantly. In his opinion, Qin Ke is as interesting as the younger brother in the family, " Those experiences of yours... are no worse than what Mr. Ming Yuxuan storyteller said."

He suddenly showed a playful smile: "Is the 'son-in-law' of the public loser still at ease in front of him? Opened your mind to this stupid piece of wood?"

"Wh... what enlightenment..." Qin Ke's expression was very embarrassed. How could he have thought that Gao Changgong would be so talkative like a village old man, and he wanted to use this to tease himself. He was at a loss for words and stammered: "I and She was just..."

"Just what?" Gao Changgong took a step forward with a smile, his bright eyes were full of curiosity.

Qin Ke couldn't explain any more, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.

At this moment, a person slowly walked out of the forest.

Wang Xuanwei.

Goodbye Wang Xuanwei, although this is completely different from his mood when he saw Gao Changgong again, but the feeling of shock and surprise is quite similar. The middle-aged man who led him and the Mohist cavalry out of the siege of a hundred thousand troops before was only a dozen or so different from him God, it looked like he was haggard and embarrassed that couldn't be concealed.

In the night, his temples seemed to be covered with frost, and his loose robe was also torn and wrinkled.

Qin Ke thought of those down-and-out old Confucian students in Jianye City, who were depressed every day and drank their sorrows away, and because they had read sage books, they were lonely and arrogant, and often had quarrels with others, which often ended in fists and kicks.

The helpless old Confucian scholar naturally couldn't beat those street thugs who caused troubles all day long. He was beaten like a bereaved dog, but still hissed and cursed: "It's an insult to the gentleman! It's an insult to the gentleman! The matter of us scholars..."

Even if they shouted hoarsely in the end, it could only attract more ridicule.

Of course, Wang Xuanwei is not such a pedantic person. In his seemingly ordinary body, there are hundreds of thousands of sharp edges hidden. There will be a moment of dullness. Judging from his current appearance, the battle with Xiang Chu should not be so easy.

However, being able to escape from the [-] army, from the so-called Overlord Xiang Chu, was enough to prove Wang Xuanwei's extraordinary strength.

Buzzing sounded from time to time, scattered and flying Xuanwei circling around him, but compared with the original agile and agile appearance, these Xuanwei only knew to fly around like headless flies, and there were several flying around. It didn't move and slowly stopped on his robe, and it would slip off because it couldn't catch it.

But when he gently raised his hand, he found that a black four-legged snake had crawled on his arm at some point.

"Is this yours?" Wang Xuan frowned slightly.

Qin Ke, on the other hand, looked at the black "four-legged snake" foolishly, and he paused for a long time before realizing that Xiao Hei had left his chest at this moment.

This guy actually dared to keep moving on Wang Xuanwei's arms and shoulders, flying up and down, like a very hungry tiger, chasing those Xuanwei and fleeing in all directions.

Wang Xuanwei looked at Xiao Hei, his eyes gradually froze, and the countless Xuanwei around him seemed to have received some order, gathered into a ball, and floated towards Qin Ke.

Xiao Hei managed to find such a delicious meal, of course he would not let it go, his figure was swift, he followed Xuan Weizi away and at the same time he did not forget to keep opening his mouth. Only Xuanweizi swallowed it.

"Xiao Hei! Don't eat it!" Qin Ke watched it come to an end in Wang Xuanwei's hands dumbfoundedly, but it leaped high and plunged into Xuanwei's body, swallowing several times in a row. Only Xuanweizi.

It's just that he has no wings after all, and he is not a bird. After a short period of joy, it watched itself getting farther and farther away from Xuanweizi, and then fell down.

No wonder this guy had a reaction just now, the feeling was not because he noticed Gao Changgong, but purely because he smelled the smell of food...

But if you just ate the roast chicken on the table of the public loser, or the raw fish in the restaurant, then you can eat it. As the "spiritual pet" of the "uncle" of the public loser, no one will eat it because of this. blame him.But the Xuanweizi he is eating now is the natal item of the general of the Mo family, Wang Xuanwei...

Immediately, Qin Ke's back felt a little chilly, and without caring much, he quickly reached out and grabbed him.

Xiao Hei, who hadn't eaten enough, kept struggling, his strength was great, and Qin Ke had just fought with Gao Changgong, and [-]% of his strength was lost, so he couldn't hold it for a while.

When he finally let go, Xiao Hei broke free from his five fingers, jumped up again and chased those Xuanweizi away.

"Xiao Hei! Come back!" Qin Ke shouted eagerly, but he couldn't control the "starved ghost" Xiao Hei at all.

"Let it go, even if he doesn't eat, these Xuanwei will all die within a few days." Wang Xuanwei said with a bit of regret, "The secret method stimulates growth, and in just a quarter of an hour the adult insects have already grown. It’s almost like a myth. After all, this method has taken away God’s will and cannot last long.”

Wang Xuanwei stared at Xiao Hei's agile figure, frowning even tighter.

Among the Mo family, it is not that there is no place that specializes in raising monsters. The monsters inside can be said to be all kinds of strange things, ranging from birds to tigers and leopards.But even so, he has never seen any monster that can eat his Xuanweizi with great relish.

You know, these Xuanweizi he cultivated with secret methods have extremely hard shells, which can even chew on gold and iron. If monsters want to eat them, they are undoubtedly devouring gold dust.

Even the eight-foot-tall white crane that lives in the Mohist giant's courtyard has always kept his Xuanweizi at a respectful distance.

This black four-legged snake...

"It seems that this is the reason why you can avoid my Xuanweizi's surveillance?" Wang Xuanwei said softly, "You still have a monster that hasn't grown up yet?"

Chapter 467 A Rising Star

Qin Ke glanced worriedly at Xiao Hei who was chasing Xuan Weizi, then turned his head and gave Wang Xuanwei a deep bow: "It was really an accident that day, I didn't know Xiao Hei would eat that Xuan Wei Zi, If you want to blame, blame me."

Wang Xuanwei was a little surprised to see him sincerely apologizing, but he didn't say anything to reproach him, but just shook his head: "No need, it's just a bug, it's insignificant. But you, a young beast, are so extraordinary before you reach adulthood, if you grow up... ...You may not be able to hold back."

Qin Ke raised his head and looked at Wang Xuanwei suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Gao Changgong stood beside him and explained with a smile: "Although monsters have human nature, they are wild and unruly in their bones. Only stronger people can make them worship. If your growth rate is weaker than this four-legged snake in the future, say Maybe it will despise you, despise you, and leave you. Even some violent beasts can't control themselves and swallow their master alive for a while, so you still have to be careful."

Qin Ke stared at Gao Changgong blankly. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. Although Gao Changgong was not serious on weekdays, he stared at Gao Changgong's face for a long time, but he didn't see that he was holding back. There is still some cunning hidden in the smile, and it may not be groundless.

In the future...will Xiao Hei turn hostile to himself?

In fact, he never thought about this kind of thing, maybe because he was used to the appearance of Xiao Hei Lai on his body, since he came out of Daoxiang Village, it has been curled up on his chest, like a newborn baby.

If such a thing really happened one day, I am afraid that Xiao Hei himself will feel very uncomfortable, right?

Gao Changgong looked at his worried look, laughed, and said: "You don't have to worry too much, the growth rate of monsters is often very slow, maybe the owner who raised him has passed the [-]-year limit, and it is still hovering among young people."

"Well..." Although this news is not very good, at least it made Qin Ke's heart feel more at ease. If, as Gao Changgong said, Xiao Hei might leave after he gets old or even dies, then at least They will have a long, long time together.

"You two..." After calming down, Qin Ke hesitated to ask questions, and when his eyes fell on Wang Xuanwei, he suddenly lowered his head again.

If it was the other two people, he probably wouldn't be so curious, but Gao Changgong and Wang Xuanwei in front of him, one is the general of Jingwu, and the other is the former general of the Mohist family. Somewhat abrupt.

Probably only a fool would think that these two people just came on a whim, and at this critical moment of the Mo family's survival, let's both come out for an outing.

However, Gao Changgong didn't seem to intend to tell him, but smiled casually, and reached out to rub his hair: "Children don't need to know about adults."

"Tch!" Qin Ke looked at him contemptuously, "What kind of an adult are you? If you don't talk about it, forget it. You people know how to play tricks."

Gao Changgong did not explain, turned his head to look at Wang Xuanwei, and said, "Since it has been agreed, should we part here?"

"Perhaps we shouldn't have met in the first place." Wang Xuanwei looked at him calmly, "The agreed time has not yet come, and you came a little early."

Gao Changgong spread his hands and made an innocent expression: "No matter how fast the Qingzhou ghost rider is, it is impossible to arrive in such a short time, so... I came first on the red fire alone. And I think you should thank you very much Me, without me, you might not be able to escape from Xiang Chu's pursuit so easily."

"I didn't ask you to do this." Wang Xuanwei looked at Gao Changgong seriously, "You may reveal our intentions by doing this."

Gao Changgong shrugged indifferently and said: "There is no paper to cover the fire. In terms of time, even if Xiang Chu has already guessed it, it should be too late. His [-] troops travel day and night, and it is difficult to catch up within half a month." Go to Xingzhou, and he himself...at least he won't be my opponent."

He smiled confidently, with an understated tone, as if he was discussing an insignificant matter with Wang Xuanwei, the feeling that he blurted out naturally, might even make people misunderstand that Xiang Chu is an unknown person.

But he is Gao Changgong, the war god of Jingwu, who once led eight thousand ghost riders from Qingzhou to sweep across the territory of the Tang Kingdom. "Butcher" and "Madman", but there is a little awe and admiration in the words.

Gao Changgong continued: "However, in a short time, he shouldn't have guessed that it was me. I have also dabbled in your Mohist's swordsmanship. I have also experienced the 'Shouyu Sword' created by the Mohist giant a few times, not to mention that I can imitate it. [-]%, [-]% there will always be... He probably thinks that I am some kind of master of your Mohist family, and he just came to help."

Wang Xuan snorted coldly: "It's best not to underestimate Xiang Chu, I always feel that this person is not simple, at least not as simple as it appears on the surface."

Gao Changgong smiled lightly: "Is there a time when the dignified general of the Mo family is afraid?"

"I'm no longer a general." Wang Xuan stared at him slightly, then raised his head and said, "But this has nothing to do with my position."

"I guess you are showing off?" Qin Ke was stunned for a while, and couldn't help interjecting softly, although this sentence seems very out of date now.

And Gao Changgong tapped his head lightly with his hand, and said: "The rich man said that he only brought gold ingots, and he couldn't find any money to buy a bun. Do you think this is showing off?"

Qin Ke nodded solemnly: "It's showing off."

"Country bumpkin." Gao Changgong smiled casually, "Let's talk about it when you arrive... don't talk about me, but when you are on the same level as this general."

"Then I feel that I won't be able to reach it in my life." Qin Ke shook his head sullenly, "Don't talk about cultivation so easily."

Gao Changgong put his hands on his shoulders, and rarely showed a serious look on his face: "Sometimes, it's okay to be arrogant, not to mention the future, who can say clearly? It's like I never thought about it. You are able to approach the Little Grandmaster realm in such a short period of time, in terms of cultivation, you can be regarded as a rising star in my Jingwu."

"A rising star?" Qin Ke's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "What is Sun Qing's state now?"

"Little Grandmaster." Gao Changgong looked up at the sky, with a slight smile on his lips, "It's just the second month after you left Jingwu."

Qin Ke's expression suddenly collapsed. Although he also expected it, he was still a little frustrated when he heard this fact.

I originally thought that my strength had finally reached the third stage, and I could fight against him, and maybe I could even bully that arrogant dead face in the future, but now it seems that the only son of the Sun Family Patriarch is really so invincible: "Yes Well. From this point of view, I am not a rising star."

"Is it? It's up to you." Gao Changgong pinched his shoulder, feeling a little funny, "Sun Qing has been practicing hard for many years, and you can't imagine how solid his foundation is. But now you have broken two in a row. The heavy realm is already impressive."

"I..." Qin Ke was a little depressed. Others may not know it, but he knew very well in his heart that he only broke through the first level of realm, and the reason why he has reached the third level now is entirely a gift from the old man in the Taishi Bureau. , in terms of the speed of practice, he is far not as fast as Gao Changgong thought.

It's just that Wang Xuanwei was watching covetously from the sidelines, and he couldn't tell the matter on the spot, so he could only nod his head in distress.

Wang Xuanwei said coldly: "Let's put the small talk aside, if you want to take him away, that's fine, I don't have to embarrass a child."

"Mr. Wang's words, I still believe." Gao Changgong's mouth curled up slightly, "But there is no need, young people always have to hone their skills, and there are not many opportunities to see how the generals use their troops. They continue to follow you, and wash off the milky smell on your body."

"You have the taste of milk." Qin Ke protested.

"Aren't you afraid that something will happen to them and they will die on the battlefield of the Mo family?" Wang Xuan looked at him slightly.

"That depends on what Mr. Wang does." Gao Changgong grinned, "I entrusted them to you, do you also have to fulfill the responsibility of protecting them?"

Chapter 468 His Past

Wang Xuanwei's voice was low, his eyes swept over Qin Ke intentionally or unintentionally: "It seems that you really value them."

Gao Changgong smiled very calmly: "Doesn't Mr. Wang like young people? At least in my opinion, every time I see them, I can see the shadow of myself in them. Who would really hate their past?"

"The shadow of the past." Wang Xuan was silent, thinking of the time when he was in the valley when he was a child, learning art with his teacher, recalling it, it is actually hard to talk about how happy he is.

His master is a kind old man who has never been too pretentious. He likes to listen to the sound of running water. His easy-going temperament allows him to sleep on a big rock for a day and a night. He can climb mountains and ridges with bare feet and walk like flying.

His beard and hair are as white as snow, but a pair of jet-black eyes are as deep as ever.

And in the valley where he lives, there is a collection of more than [-] volumes, from the five elements and eight trigrams to astronomy and mathematics, from literature and martial arts to poetry and songs, which can be said to be all-encompassing.

He was an orphan brought into the valley by his master. Afterwards, his master became his parents, and he also received all the love and care from his master. Before he was six years old, he always felt that he was as happy as if he was in the clouds.

It's just that when he was six years old, the master told him that within 20 years, he had to read the [-] books in the library, and during the whole process, he would not answer any of his questions, nor would he give any feedback. He doesn't have any answers.

He has always respected his teachers, so he started a long journey of reading without saying a word. Every day, he is accompanied by thousands of volumes of books in the valley, from morning to dusk, from day to night, from children to handsome teenagers, In such a long, long time, he really never took a step out of the valley.
