Chang Ming: Let's get married.

Yijing: Young man, do you know this trick!

After seeing off the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Yijing stood alone in front of Xuanwu Pavilion, looked up at the changes in the white clouds in the sky, and knew that the last rain and snow in autumn and winter was destined to fall on the night before the expedition—but he had no mood to sleep.I don't know how long I'll stand there, and I don't know when it's raining or snowing. When I hear the sound of the rain, I can see someone coming briskly from the rain curtain in the sky.

The man lifted the paper umbrella up slightly, looked up at Yijing standing on the steps, the two smiled at each other, Chang Ming shook the other paper umbrella in his hand, and said with a dumb smile: "As expected, you are still here, Take the paper umbrella and go back to rest earlier."

Yijing sized him up with great interest, and found that although his clothes were neat, his hair was not tied up, and even the wristbands and leggings that were indispensable as usual were gone. The paper umbrella rushed over and couldn't help but tease: "Why do you need two paper umbrellas to pick me up?"

Chang Ming gave him a white look, and threw the paper umbrella casually, regardless of whether Yijing received it or not, he wanted to lift his legs and leave. Unexpectedly, there was a hint of warmth on his arm, and when he looked down, he realized that Yijing had already descended the steps Come, grab his wrist with one hand and hold the paper umbrella in the other.Seeing this, Chang Ming subconsciously raised the paper umbrella in his hand higher to shield him from wind, frost, rain and snow.

"You are awake too, come with me to Xuanwu Pavilion, I have something to tell you." Yijing looked sullen and unhappy.

"The Sifuluo family has lived around the Lost City of Northern Xinjiang for generations. A hundred years ago, the five kingdoms ruled the world, and the Sifuluo family escaped from Yanqi Kingdom in Northern Xinjiang and joined Emperor Gaozu. After the world was unified, Emperor Gaozu was merciful and bestowed upon the Sifuluo family He lived in his hometown in northern Xinjiang until he was seriously injured more than [-] years ago and then moved to Huacheng in the southwest."

Chang Ming nodded, he had heard about the stories of Si Fuluo's family to some extent, but he didn't know why Yijing talked about it now, so he could only keep silent.

Yijing didn't think about it, but was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about where to start the past, and then said in a low voice: "The Sifuluo family is good at military strategy. A hundred years ago, the Emperor Gaozu sincerely invited him, but the Sifuluo family is peaceful. He moved again and served Yan Qi, until the Lord Yan Qi accidentally learned of the power of the "ghosts" of the Sifuluo clan, and he coveted it... He imprisoned all the Sifuluo clan... The 67 generations of the lords of our clan fought bloody battles and led everyone Fighting to escape, but unfortunately died in battle... Only then did he go to Emperor Gaozu for protection, but this matter was never mentioned again, and it returned to dust with the collapse of Yanqi Kingdom..."

When he mentioned this point, Chang Ming had already stared at his pale cheeks in surprise, and finally when the room was completely silent, he hesitated and asked, "Did you just say... the power of "ghosts"?" Never I have heard about it.

Yijing nodded as if accepting his fate.

"My clan doesn't know what kind of crime it is to be condemned by God." Yijing's eyes were heavy with pain, and the pain in his heart was more than a few words. Improper bravery can kill thousands of troops and horses with a single blow, so it is called a "demon ghost", but this person will surely die short-lived, but at the age of [-], he will be insane, bloodthirsty like life, harm others, and die of mania ..."

He suddenly felt pain in his arm, and in a blink of an eye, it was Chang Ming who was holding his arm, but he avoided Yijing's sight.

Yijing stretched out his hand to pat the back of his hand, and the strength was only a little loose, and even if Yijing didn't say the rest of the words, Changming understood.

"Since I was born, I often see Junqing sighing and hesitant to speak several times, just because I am afraid that I will be sad. My family searched for a solution more than a hundred years ago but found nothing. Some Junqing killed his son with tears in his eyes, and some were imprisoned The ghosts committed suicide after suffering in prison for 30 years... There was a pair of princes who couldn't bear the suffering of their children, so they ordered him not to practice martial arts, not to know arts and sciences, and even confuse their minds with sex..."

"How can this be!" Chang Ming gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

"Although he lived a mediocre life, he lived his life happily. It was not until the day when he died that he awakened the power of demons and ghosts and passed away peacefully... The day the truth came to light, the whole family was shocked, so the powers of demons and ghosts finally found a way to temporarily suppress it. "

Chang Ming was silent.

"The 67th suzerain of Sifuluo is named Sifuluo Qiyue, who is also a ghost, but he is talented and intelligent, insurmountable. Although he does not know martial arts, he became the suzerain of Sifuluo after several discussions. Forced, maybe his ghost power will never awaken in his life."

"So...that's why your eyes turned scarlet several times..." Chang Ming hesitated and said, fearing that Yijing would be sad, but he admitted it frankly without thinking about Yijing.

"That is the symbol of demons and ghosts. The Sifuluo family has not produced any demons for three consecutive generations. They thought that the heavens were merciful, but they did not expect me... Therefore, my Jun Qing washed his face with tears all day long and did not allow me to practice martial arts. In his spare time, he had to Read and read, until one day I discovered the records in Si Fuluo's ancient books... I had suspected it for more than ten years, but Brother Cheng Jing avoided answering, Su Shengyi ignored it, and Gu Laiqiu talked about him... Until that time Ning Wu's entire army was annihilated, and I was also in danger. The ghost's instinct awakened to save my life, but those scarlet eyes..."

Chang Ming remembered that when he was in Maocheng, Yijing took the poison in order to provoke Nawuyu and Avagu, and he was already on the verge of dying. The trembling tongue swallowed back into his stomach, and he managed to calm down and comfort him, "I've lived for more than 30 years, but I'm not good at martial arts so far, how can I awaken the power of demons and ghosts."

Yijing nodded politely: "I think so too, besides Xingcheng also said, maybe I can live for a long time..."

"Or one day I will die in battle..." Chang Ming whispered.

"Nonsense!" Yijing scolded him hoarsely, and Changming stopped talking. The two looked away but held hands tightly. Only silence can replace eternity.

Suddenly Chang Ming's finger moved, and Yijing raised his head in response.

Chang Ming asked him, "When will you marry me?"

"Married?!" Yijing shouted in surprise, "You... what did you just say?"

"If you dare to deny your debt, I will kill you." Chang Ming's voice sounded like a brick that could knock his own army commander unconscious, "Hugging, hugging, and kissing..."

Before he finished speaking, Yijing turned around and hugged him in his arms.

"I...I..." Yijing was so overjoyed that he could not speak coherently. He kissed Chang Ming's head several times indiscriminately. It was Chang Ming who was hugged by him so hard that he punched him under the ribs that he screamed and let go. Thinking of him taking one step back and then two steps forward, the two of you back and forth for a while, Yijing finally calmed down, Chang Ming had already jumped a few steps away, the corners of his mouth twitched like a fool, Yijing Jing Cai grinned and begged for forgiveness: "Okay, don't be angry, I'm not... When this matter is over, let's get married!"

After saying this, Yijing was stunned for a moment, then put on a helpless expression and said to Chang Ming: "If you just sympathize with me, then..."

"Crack!" Chang Ming grabbed one of the umbrellas and threw it at Yi Jing's face. Yi Jing narrowly caught it, and felt a burning pain in his palm. Looking up, Chang Ming had already left the door with a paper umbrella.

Gu Liang Yiqing was secretly surprised that Chai Jinli, a Jinshi from Jiangyuan, traveled with the army to carry medicinal herbs. She didn't expect that her army commander did not ask her to drive a chariot this time, but replaced it with Nanrong Xingcheng.

"Is the battalion commander going to arrange for the subordinate to accompany Jinshi Chai?" Gu Liang Yiqing turned to look at Chai Jinli who was talking to Lu Yichuan, "Just bully the subordinate to look like a child!"

Chang Ming laughed loudly when he heard it, and said: "I have this intention, but it seems that the commander of the army did not let you drive the chariot. Maybe he has other plans. The commander of the first battalion will send others to accompany him. You can march as usual. good."

Gu Liang Yiqing gave him a meaningful expression.

Qu Liying led a group of imperial physician attendants to count the medicinal herbs, and turned to Lu Yichuan and Yijing, "Let's take a step ahead to stabilize the people's hearts. The rest of the medicinal herbs must be sent to the northern border one after another, just one of them..."

Yijing said reassuringly: "My lord, don't worry, there is this medicinal herb growing in the Netherworld Forest to the east of the Lost City. The Prime Minister has already sent people to dig it first..."

"This is exactly what the lower officials are worried about." Qu Liying interrupted, which surprised both Yijing and Lu Yichuan, "I received a report from my attendant this morning that the black grass around the forest of no return has already been picked, and only a few feathers are left. Why help the people? The first attendants tried many ways, but they still couldn't go deep into the Yellow Spring Forest, and many people were separated and returned without success."

Lu Yichuan subconsciously looked at Yijing, the commander of the army pondered for a while, and said: "I was born in northern Xinjiang, maybe I can explore the forest of Huangquan, why not lead people to look for it first, and the two adults lead Ning Wu to Lost City. The commander of the Sixth Battalion has his own explanation."

"Too dangerous!"

"My lord, take care."

Lu Yichuan and Qu Liying said at the same time, Lu Yichuan stared at Qu Liying angrily, but Qu Liying said coldly: "If you don't take the black grass, the prescription will not work, let alone save people, we will be infected with the disease and die Go West."

Yijing waved to Lu Yichuan, chatting to comfort him.

"Siege?!" The commanders of the sixth battalion and the seventh battalion who received the order looked at each other in amazement at the same time.

"Forgive me for being rude," Chang Ming said anxiously, "Let's not say that it is surrounded by ten, there are more than two thousand rebels, and the six and seven battalions combined are barely equal to them. This kind of siege..."

Yijing waved his hand disapprovingly and interrupted Chang Ming's words, and said to the two of them: "I have my own plan, come here with your ears."

The two battalion commanders stepped forward, and when they heard his exhortations, they all nodded in admiration, and they should be in return.

Xing Cheng drove the chariot and galloped along the official road, looking back at the army commander who was expressionless and meditating from time to time.

"The terrain of the Yellow Springs forest is complicated, with towering trees and criss-crossing. I have never heard that those who enter will never return. What should I do if something happens?"

Yijing pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Sifuluo family was born in northern Xinjiang for generations, maybe I won't lose my way."

"How is this possible? If so, the Holy One would have ordered the Sifulo family..." Xing Cheng suddenly stopped talking, as if he understood something.

"Yellow Spring Forest is not the only way of the Yellow Spring, but only demons and ghosts can find the way of life." Yijing said lightly.

"Isn't it okay to make marks along the road?" Qin Zuoxi looked at the dark forest in the distance, and asked Yijing aloud, Owen leaned aside and nodded in agreement.

"It's not that no one has tried it," Yijing shook his head and said, "Some people carve a tree as a sign, but they lose their mark in the end, and some people use long ropes as a guide, but they end up getting round and losing their way."

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the left and right gasped.

"You follow each other all the way, if there is a slight discrepancy, call for help as soon as possible, so as not to get lost in the forest." After saying that, Yijing entered the Huangquan forest first, Xingsheng and others followed closely, walking one by one, Yijing looked back from time to time, After walking quite a distance, they saw a piece of black grass growing among the roots of deciduous trees. Everyone was delighted to pass the news to each other. The originally lifeless forest was full of people. With a sluggish expression, he staggered a few steps and needed to lean on a tree for support.

"Commander!" Xing Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "But what's wrong?"

"Did you... hear... the sound of the flute..."

"The sound of the flute?" Xing Cheng held his breath, and the surrounding area was silent. He could hear the footsteps of the attendants in the distance, and some birds stepped lightly on the branches, but he didn't hear any rhythm. He frowned and replied, "I have never... !"

Before he could finish speaking, Yijing fell headlong, and everyone behind him exclaimed, intending to swarm up, Xing Sheng hurriedly stopped when he saw this.

"Don't move rashly!" Everyone stopped in his tracks when he was frightened.

"The commander of the army is not in good health. It is good to take a short rest. Everyone should not move, so as not to get lost here."

Only then did everyone sigh and sigh as if awakened, but Xing Cheng looked at the unconscious Yijing suspiciously, and listened carefully to the surrounding sounds again, but still found nothing.

Si Fu Luo's family once produced a ghost, and it has not stopped, but Yijing Chengjing can't see it, so I thought the ghost was cut off, but later found that Yijing himself is, that's why he doesn't fight well, but he has a lot of knowledge He has a lot of knowledge, because he didn't practice martial arts when he was young, but he read a lot of books from the Sifuluo family, and those books were collected by the Sifuluo family to save demons and ghosts.
