star sea is you

By the bluestone bridge, Ning Zhiyuan left.Shangguan Jingyu's face changed, and he left to another street.

"Master, someone is following us." The guard walked a few steps closer to Shangguan Jingyu, and whispered in his ear.

"Shut up, go back to the inn first." Shangguan Jingyu quickened his pace.Turn across the street, and then squeeze into places with a lot of people.Because of the Lantern Festival, there is no curfew this night, and most people go out of their homes and come to the street to have fun.

When Shangguan Jingyu entered the city in the afternoon, he found that they were being targeted by someone. He wanted to go directly to Ning Zhiyuan to explain his intentions and take the opportunity to get rid of the people behind him, but Ning Zhiyuan had no intention of cooperating.

Suddenly there was an explosion in the sky.Shangguan Jingyu glanced at the sound, and the colorful fireworks burst into beautiful stars in the air.Pedestrians rushed towards the guardrail, screaming loudly and applauding.He is like a rebel, walking in the opposite direction.It took a lot of effort to barely avoid being pushed forward by them, while paying attention to the people following behind.He noticed that the people who came were all masters and moved quickly.It seems that the other party is going to hit hard.

"Could it be that Ning Zhiyuan sent someone to follow us?" the guard asked.

"It won't be theirs." Shangguan Jingyu walked even faster, and the people behind him followed even tighter.

"That's the young master's man?" The guard was surprised, and looked at the unfavored master, "Go back to the camp, and they can't do anything to you in front of the master. We have to leave the city quickly before the city gate is closed. "

After listening to the guard's words, Shangguan Jingyu stopped suddenly.He risked his life to come here, not to get out of Lincheng in disgrace.revenge. "No, I can't go out of the city, I will be able to convince him." It is the best choice to win Lincheng without fighting, for his own sake and for the sake of the people here.After hesitating for a moment, he walked into a dark alley next to him.

"Master!" The guard shouted from behind, not knowing what the master wanted to do, but he could only follow behind.

The alley is crowded, the width is no more than five feet, and only one person can enter.The alleys are winding, one alley is connected with several paths, like a maze, people who are not familiar with the terrain will get lost in it.After Shangguan Jingyu came in, he ambush at the corner of an alley.

There are five people behind them, all dressed as knights in the rivers and lakes, holding swords.Seeing the other party entering the alley, he felt that they were going to escape, so he quickened his pace and followed in without thinking too much.

However, they were blocked by Shangguan Jingyu's guards in front of them, and the person at the back found Shangguan Jingyu standing behind them.Head to tail, they were blocked.It seems that they are not trying to escape.

"The damaged city wall is almost finished. The soldiers have been repairing it day and night these days. I'm thinking of waiting for a while. After everything calms down, I will give them a few days off to relax."

"Alright, you can figure it out."

Ning Zhiyuan accompanied Father Ning to patrol the tower.In recent years, Father Ning has handed over almost all affairs in the general to Ning Zhiyuan.

Soldiers came and went, adding bricks and tiles to repair the devastated towers.They were doing it like hell.

From time to time, Ning Zhiyuan stepped forward to lend a hand, lifted a large stone, and handed tools to the soldiers who were using ladders outside to help build the ladders.

Father Ning waved his hands to the two generals following behind. "Go and do your own work, and I'll take a look. Yuan'er can just accompany me."

The general said "yes" and walked away.

Turning around the east gate, the two of them walked towards the tower of the south gate. There was almost no damage to the city wall here.The east gate and north gate are the main attack areas.

"How much grain is left in stock?" Father Ning asked.

"I've already sent someone to buy it. After buying food and grass in the capital, I will personally escort it back."

"That's good." Ning An folded his hands behind his back, glanced back at his son who was half a head taller than him, and said with a smile, "Are you still angry with Dad? I haven't been home for a few days, and yesterday's Lantern Festival didn't work." I just said a few words with your mother and left, do you plan to stay in the barracks for a long time?"

"In the military camp, problems can be solved in a timely manner." Ning Zhiyuan stopped and looked at his father's profile, "Is there no possibility?"

"Yuan'er, let me tell you this. Lincheng is the city of Wei State. I have fought for my father and Wei State for more than 20 years. The horse leather shroud is my lifelong wish." Ning An looked at the buildings in the city with a proud expression on his face, "My child , not being foolish and loyal to my father, but as a soldier, I have a mission. As a soldier of the Wei State, protecting the land of the Wei State is my mission, and it should also be yours."

"Son understands." Ning Zhiyuan made a bow.He didn't understand that the emperor was no longer the emperor, and the soldiers should not be soldiers.Being responsible to the Wei State should still be responsible to the people.Ning Zhiyuan followed his father's line of sight, what he saw was not those towers, but the people walking on the street.In recent years, the national treasury has been spending too much. In order to satisfy the king's entertainment, the taxes in various places have been doubled, and various taxes have been proposed.The army's rations were also deducted a lot by the above.Is such a country worth protecting?

"I'm going to the school grounds." Ning Zhiyuan had no choice but to walk towards the east gate.He knows his father's stubbornness, and it's useless to argue, so he should do what is right now and do everything possible to add strength to Lincheng.

Lin Xi didn't know when he came, he turned around and saw him standing upstairs in the east gate.

"Young master." Lin Xi saw the young master walking towards him.

The two came down from the tower.

"I've found out, those people are people from the world, well-known and upright. As for why they followed Shangguan Jingyu, I'm still investigating."

The two came downstairs.The guard led the two horses. Seeing them coming downstairs, he stepped forward and handed the reins of the horses to Lin Xi. After Lin Xi took them, he handed them to Ning Zhiyuan.

"What's wrong, I'm very worried."

"One thing..." Lin Xi's expression was solemn, "The spies we buried in Shangguan Chen's mansion may have been bribed."

"How to say?" Ning Zhiyuan stroked the horse's head a few times, and the horse neighed comfortably.

"Shangguan Jingyu knows martial arts, and his martial arts are not inferior to mine. Those who followed them yesterday were all decapitated and buried in the Town God's Temple outside the city. But the news we got before is that he..."

Ning Zhiyuan frowned, thought for a moment, and raised his hand to stop Lin Xi from continuing, "No, it should be that he deliberately concealed his knowledge of martial arts before. Only in a dangerous situation, without being in the limelight, can he survive unarmed." He felt Shangguan Jingyu is a ruthless person, no wonder he dared to take risks alone. It seems that he underestimated this playboy who hangs out in brothels all day long.

Ning Zhiyuan got on his horse. "Let them check, who is Shangguan Jingyu's master?"

"Yes!" Lin Xi rode behind him.

From the city gate to the barracks, a person pushing a cart and selling melons and vegetables suddenly appeared next to him.

Ning Zhiyuan glanced to the side several times, this person looked familiar.He grabbed the rein, looked back at the small vendor in front of him, and blinked, yes, this person was the one who molested him last night——Shangguan Jingyu.

I saw that Shangguan Jingyu was wearing common people's clothes and a bamboo hat on his head. He looked like a vegetable farmer who went to the city to sell vegetables, and he was completely different from the frivolous rich businessman yesterday. .

"The state of Wei is extremely corrupt, and the people suffer. If such a dynasty is not overthrown, the people will not be able to live a life of food and clothing. Even if you can make the people here live a life of food and clothing, but what about other places, Fuzhou, Ning County, those What about the local people. If you really want to resist to the death, it will be the people who will suffer in the blood. Do you want to watch their wives and children scattered and displaced? Is this what you call "happiness and well-being"?"

Ning Zhiyuan stared at Shangguan Jingyu condescendingly.His words are right, such a dynasty will persecute the people here sooner or later.He can protect them for a while, but not forever.

"My father retreated because he didn't want the people here to suffer because of your actions. Choose the Ming Lord to live here. My father said that as long as you surrender me to Daqi, I promise not to move you in the slightest. Just like before, you are still young. Lord, your father is still a general, but with a different flag, for you..." Shangguan Jingyu was interrupted by Ning Zhiyuan before he finished speaking.

"You two come here." Ning Zhiyuan waved to the two soldiers who were walking towards him.

"Major General, what are your orders?" The two soldiers came to him and said in unison.

"Which camp do you belong to?"

"We are the guards at the south gate, and we are going to change shifts." The soldier replied.

"Very good." Ning Zhiyuan nodded, "This old man said that our soldiers fought too hard, and he wanted to give us these vegetables and fruits for free. You can help distribute these vegetables to your soldiers from the South Gate."

"Yes!" The soldier glanced at Shangguan Jingyu happily.

Shangguan Jingyu was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything, and stared at Ning Zhiyuan bitterly.

"This old man is very enthusiastic and asked you to take the car away."

The two soldiers thanked Shangguan Jingyu, took the vehicle, and pushed it away.

"Hey..." Shangguan Jingyu wanted to say something more.

Ning Zhiyuan had already turned around and walked away.Shangguan Jingyu stamped his feet angrily.

The two walked slowly by their horses. This is a street with a lot of traffic.

"Young master, I see that you are teasing him, and you seem to be in a good mood."

"gab."

"I haven't seen you smile since you got angry with the general. You just laughed."

"Tell me again, I will double your training today."

Lin Xi quickly shut up.

Ning Zhiyuan knew that Shangguan Jingyu was right, but... most of the time, there was nothing he could do.It's not that you can do whatever you want.

"Spread the news about Shangguan Jingyu's martial arts, and successfully strangle the people who followed him."

"The young master has a new idea?"

"Also, replace all the soldiers guarding the gate. Those who change to the first battalion will not be allowed to let Shangguan Jingyu out of the city, and those who violate it will be killed."

At this time, the two of them also came to a more open street, rode their horses to speed up, returned to the barracks, and conducted a series of training for the soldiers.
