Changbei Longevity Song

Xiaobei quickly walked towards the stable, but was grabbed by 21: "What are you going to do?"

"Go and chase." Xiaobei, who has always been calm, can't wait to run to the place of longevity. 21 Before he had time to persuade him, Qing Yijian's voice came: "Chang Bei! Be more rational, please? How do you know their exact location?"

Xiao Bei was slightly stunned, and he became impulsive again.

"But I can't, just ignore it like this..." Xiao Beiyue said, the more confident he was, his voice subconsciously lowered.Qing Yijian scoffed obviously: "There are very few things you can control."

The breeze just passed by, brushing up her hair, revealing Xiaobei's sad face unreservedly.Zhou Wei passed by just in time, and Xiaobei's expression could be seen in his eyes.There was a distress in my heart.

Bei'er, I'm afraid that one day you will give everything for him.Zhou Yuan muttered silently and left quietly.As Qing Yijian said, there are very few things in this world that can be controlled by one person alone, let alone some people, even if he gives everything he has, it is useless.

Xiaobei was silent, and after a long time said to 21: "I'm going to practice swordsmanship for a while." The sword spirit sighed: "Oh, after all, you are just a general who leads an army to serve the court."

The open space next to the woods is definitely Xiaobei's usual place to practice swords.

His eyes closed slowly, Qing Yijian was drawn out and held tightly in his hand.Qi transports the dantian, and the breath travels everywhere in the body.He suddenly opened his eyes, raised his wrist, and turned it over. The blade of the sword shone brightly reflecting the sunlight, dancing with Xiaobei's hand as if it had come to life.

The tip of the sword suddenly fell, and when it was about to hit the ground, it was lifted up and just happened to pass by the ground lightly. The hand holding the sword was so stable that it did not touch the ground at all in such a short distance. Instead, the dust on the ground was caused by the airflow And was brought up, and fell back.

Because it was fighting against ordinary people, even if their goal was to win those foreigners, he couldn't allow himself to use magic to deal with them.

Fortunately, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he also practiced a few sets of unique swordsmanship and a few tricks, which are enough to deal with foreigners.

The heart that was a little restless before was also calmed down a little during the sword practice.

Xiao Bei circled around with the sword in his hand, and suddenly stopped, with a back thrust, and then a flat cut, cutting off the sharp end of a grass behind him.When the sword turned back, there was a worm the size of a sesame seed on the tip of the sword. It turned out that he had taken the worm that was resting on the tip of the grass.

With a flick of the sword, the frightened little bug immediately flew away.

Tired from sword practice, Xiaobei sat on the ground, took out his bamboo flute and played it leisurely, and he unconsciously woven emotions into the song.

His worries about longevity, longing for longevity, and confusion about the way forward...

After playing for a while, Qing said with his sword spirit: "You have really deep affection for him."

Xiaobei stopped and replied: "Changsheng is the best person I have ever met. He is probably the only one in this world who treats me like a family member. He will save me and help me desperately. Then I will do the same. to him."

The sword spirit said in his heart: But the most terrifying thing in this world is that you don't even have a single person who can do everything for him.

One day passed like this, and when the battle was approaching, Xiaobei worked harder, and often went to practice with his sword at dawn.But Xiao Bei didn't know that in this room, Zhou Ni also woke up as early as him, but just hid in the darkness and watched him silently.

He also had a premonition that he would never see Xiao Bei in the near future.This uneasy premonition made him worry all the time, and he cherished every day in contact with Xiao Bei.

People's intuition is often accurate, but they dare not make choices lightly.

In the early morning of the third day, Xiao Bei woke up in a cold sweat.He propped up the bed with his hands and sat up, breathing heavily, his heart beating—the dream just now hadn't calmed down yet.It was not long before dawn, and it was still a little hazy when looking through the window.Xiaobei got out of bed lightly, thinking that after washing his face he would wake up a lot, but after being stimulated by the cold water, he was still as restless as before.

He dreamed of the long-lost longevity.For the first time in a few months, Changsheng's face appeared so clearly in his dream, even his bushy eyebrows could be seen clearly, but Changsheng's face showed pain, and he was indeed suffering from pain. hurt.

Changsheng talked to him, opened his mouth, but couldn't hear a sound, Xiaobei dreamed that he was slapping his ears frantically, but still couldn't hear anything.

The dream stopped here. After waking up, he was still afraid. He was afraid that it was true. Changsheng was seriously injured in the dream.

In the end, it was Xiaobei who scolded himself in his heart, and finally stopped his wild thinking.There is an old saying that dreams are reversed, but you can't make any troubles before going out.Xiaobei went to practice sword training as usual, but he didn't realize that this dream would actually happen soon.

When the time came, Xiao Bei went to ring the bell. "Everyone is up! Who dares to neglect Shichen today, he will feel better!" Sure enough, those who wanted to spend a little longer also jumped out with excitement.Although it is now May, the weather in the morning is still slightly cool, and even if the sun shines, there is not much warmth.

The usually noisy crowd suddenly became very silent today, only the sound of running water could be heard.Everyone is a little apprehensive.Since the establishment of this army, it has not experienced a few expeditions, but that was when a group of veterans were still there. Now the largest army is only more than 30, and almost none of them have any experience in combat.

The foreigners moved to their border area only in recent years, and it has been peaceful before.And because of these years of peace, everyone in their military camp knew that the country might be doomed.

Xiaobei also knew this, so he wanted to win this battle and defend their country.

After everyone was dressed, Xiaobei led them to practice again, and then gave the order to set off.Suddenly someone in the team asked: "Don't you need to go to the capital? I remember going before the expedition?"

As soon as the words fell, someone spat and said: "That's what the Imperial Forest Army needs! Besides, people like us can only be treated like ants by the court. Our lives are worthless. How could the court know that?" Pay attention to!"

Xiaobei actually agreed with them, with a hint of sadness in his tone: "Whatever happens, we will be the first emissary to step forward, regardless of life or death, the only thing we can do is fight."

Fortunately, his voice was drowned out by the noisy discussion, and only 21 heard it.

21 Winking reminded Xiaobei not to disturb the morale of the army, and not to talk to them indiscriminately.Xiao Bei immediately understood, smiled at himself, and said no more.

After a while, the army fell silent, and followed Xiaobei's leaders.Although foreigners are the same as them at the border, the distance in the middle is not close, and they can only rely on people and horses to carry most of their things.

Fortunately, Chaotian delivered the silver taels the day before yesterday as agreed, which was enough for them to spend on the road. Those were public property, and other people could not do it privately. Even Xiaobei only carried the scraps of silver he had accumulated.

The first place they planned to arrive was Moshanling, the outermost edge of the foreigner's territory.That place was the place where they were most laxly guarded, and foreigners thought it was a useless place, but according to Xiaobei and the method taught him by his father since childhood, he planned several best routes in that place.

There are many mountains and caves in Moshan, which is indeed a useless place for the foreigners who moved here after them, and the terrain is complicated, and no one is willing to go deep.But for locals like Xiaobei and the others, they are very familiar with this kind of terrain. Who has never played in deep mountains and old forests?

Near noon, the sun began to shine fiercely, Xiaobei led the crowd to a forest to rest.

"Oh, don't tell me: the further south you go, the drier it will be. What will happen to Namo Mountain?"

"That's right, it's a shame that foreigners are going to bully us. It's really a bad place to choose."

Listening to the conversation between the two people next to him, Xiaobei suddenly realized that Changsheng Yu Qianqian was going south together, and now the army is also going south. Would it be... possible to meet him somewhere?

21 came over, and he also heard the two conversations.

"You are worried about senior brother, don't worry, my senior brother is such a powerful person, he will be fine, besides, you are just guessing right now." 21 patted Xiaobei on the shoulder and comforted him.After a pause, he said again: "Smile more, or others will mistakenly think that our general has something wrong." 21 said half-jokingly.

Xiao Bei ticked off symbolically, and the corner of his mouth stopped ignoring him.Heart disease, indeed, it is lovesickness, longing for longevity for too long.

After noon, they were already on their way again.They took out dry food from their pockets and ate some casually, and lunch was over. After all, this was the first day, and they still had to suffer a lot on the way.

After walking for a long time, someone in the team finally asked: "General, how many days are we going to go?" With one word out, the whole team was waiting for Xiao Bei's answer.Indeed, in the past few days, Xiaobei's detailed planning has always been about what to do after arriving at Moshanling, but he never said how far the road before this sentence is.

Xiaobei was startled for a moment, but then he explained: "It will be around tomorrow evening, the distance is not too far, as long as you go around that mountain..." Xiaobei pointed to the mountain over there and said, Someone answered: "I heard that there are bandits haunting that mountain road, and their village is nearby."

There was no sound, and in terms of martial arts, the robbers were definitely not their opponents, but they were prepared to deal with the foreigners, and had no plan to fight the robbers, and they might lose some money, so the gains outweigh the losses.

"It will take at least three more days to bypass that Shansan." Xiao Bei whispered.The implication is that they have to get through it no matter what, otherwise the loss will be even greater.If you walk for one more day, your chances of winning will decrease by one point, because they are human beings anyway, and fatigue will affect many people.

21 smoothed things out with a dry smile: "What if we are lucky and don't meet each other! It's okay." After the words fell, everyone all gave him the look of meeting you and trying to find a way. 21 Shaking a few times, thinking to myself, there is still Tianxie.

Finally headed in that direction helplessly.

When it was completely dark, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. The place was relatively flat, and it was barely okay to sleep in the open.

Under Xiaobei's command, the crowd quickly set up many temporary tents.Xiao Bei, Zhou Bi, 21, and Ah Liu were squeezed into one tent.

In order to rush on the next day, everyone has no intention of chatting, and hastily fell asleep, even Xiao Bei, who has a lot of thoughts, is no exception.
