she won't live to twenty

There are other things written in the master's letter.

For example, he said, now that he has finally made up his mind, he is willing to use his sword to cut through all injustices in the world, even if he sacrifices his own life.

In the past seven years, he has been huddled in the Changjing City, pretending to know nothing and see nothing.But now that he is leaving Beijing, since he has seen it, he can no longer escape.

The master also said that if it fails, let Wuming take Tang Chiyu and flee to Loulan, and never come back.

At night, Wuming carefully read the letter again, and finally threw the letter paper into the fire and burned it to ashes.

How could it fail?

Nameless scoffed lightly.

……

After resting in Taoyuan for another two days, Wuming and Nanyue set off for southern Xinjiang.

Different from the previous way to go south to the south of the Yangtze River, to go to southern Xinjiang, you have to climb over the Minshan Mountain, cross the Shudu wasteland, cross the Shu Road and cross the Shushan Mountain, and it takes nearly half a year to reach Southern Xinjiang.

The master and Wuming agreed on two years, and they will meet in Changjing two years later. No matter how much time there is, there is plenty of time.

The Minshan Mountains are not far from Daxing Mountain, just fifty miles to the southwest.Both mountains are in the south, not far from Changjing, but Min Mountain and Daxing Mountain have no similarities in terms of climate or environment.

Minshan is taller, wider, and more desolate, and the surrounding air is colder and thinner.The more you go up the mountain, the more bare you will be. The environmental conditions of Minshan Mountain are harsh, so naturally there are no bandits.Crossing Minshan Mountain is the wasteland of the capital of Shu. The herdsmen who have lived there for generations are not interested in crossing Minshan Mountain and entering the Central Plains, so the imperial court is too lazy to take care of it.

The northern border and the southern border south of Minshan Mountain are like wastelands forgotten by the imperial court.

On the morning of the second day of departure, Wuming and Nanyue arrived at the highest point of Minshan Mountain. The cold wind howled fiercely. Although it was not as strong as Weibei, it still made people feel cold all over.Standing on the top of the mountain and looking to the southwest, I couldn't see anything because of the fog.

But Nanyue stood on tiptoe, leaned into Wuming's arms, and looked towards the wasteland, her eyes sparkling.

Wuming rubbed her head lovingly: "Is it cold?"

Nanyue shook her head vigorously, her voice was crisp: "It's not cold, I want to go over quickly and have a look."

Because the other side of the fog...is the place where they first met and grew up together.

Wuming's long and narrow fox eyes narrowed, she hugged Nanyue, and lowered her voice: "Then... hug tight."

"Eh...?" Before Nanyue could react, Wuming carried her to a certain distance, drew a knife and cut off a section of old bark, and then stepped on it to slide down the steep snow-covered cliff.

The wind howled.

Wuming conveniently helped Nanyue close up her furry cloak hat, lest she catch cold.

Nanyue hugged Wuming's neck tightly, her eyes were still a little dazed, but there was a slight dimple on her cheeks.

On the mountain, Xiao Huangsha, who just went to catch a hare, ran back proudly, only to find that the two people had disappeared, leaving the two horses staring at him.

Little Huangsha: "...Meow?"

After a while, several whistles calling for horses came from the foot of the mountain.The two horses went around the steep hillside and headed cautiously towards the direction of the whistle. Xiao Huangsha reluctantly followed behind them, whining and whining non-stop along the way, as if scolding someone.

After crossing the Minshan Mountains, it turned out to be a vast and snow-covered wasteland. The sky was blue, the clouds were very shallow, the wind was strong but there was no yellow sand, only flying snow, and a few elk walked by not far away.This place is completely different from the Weibei Wasteland, the Shudu Wasteland.

Nanyue's eyes widened, her cherry lips parted slightly, and there was an irrepressible smile in her eyes.

"Wuming...we're back." Nanyue said softly.

"Yeah, I'm back." Wuming smiled and licked his lips, and suddenly pulled out the dagger at his waist. An elk was cut by the sword and fell silently on the snow, while a group of elk ran away in panic.

They walked over, and Wuming skillfully took the dagger to skin and let the blood out. Nanyue wandered around within sight of Wuming for a while, and came back with bundles of firewood.When the fire was lit and the aroma of venison wafted, it was almost noon, and the two horses and Xiao Huangsha had just come down from the mountain.

The horse snorted foolishly, and went to dig a snowdrift nearby to graze.Little Huangsha was so angry with the rabbit meat in his mouth that he caught the rabbit through untold hardships and wanted to share it with them, but they hid here and ate delicious venison?

The half-sized leopard-fur kitten raised its tail and let out an aggrieved "whooping" sound from its throat.

Nanyue turned her head and waved at it: "Little Huangsha, come here."

Wuming used a knife to cut a piece of venison that hadn't been dipped in spices, and smiled at Xiao Huangsha.The little cat looked at its own little rabbit, then at the plump venison, and jumped over with a "meow" without disappointment, and returned to Nanyue's arms to act like a baby.

After a meal, Wuming tied most of the remaining venison on the back of the horse and continued to go deep into the wilderness.

Not long after, they met a group of herdsmen living on the edge of the wasteland.

From time to time in the past, there would be caravans passing through the wasteland of the capital of Shu and entering the southern border. However, due to the chaos in Daqin this year, the number of caravans has decreased, and the herdsmen have not seen outsiders for a long time.

A dozen herdsmen looked at them curiously.

Wuming left most of the remaining elk to the herdsmen, and seeing the hopeful eyes of the herdsmen, she thought about it, but finally she didn't have the cheek to read out what Li Bechan had written.

Wuming's trip to southern Xinjiang is not only to help the master to contact Zhennan King, Li Weichan also asks them to stand up for Tang Zhengze along the way, writing a lot of Wuming's embarrassing sentences.

She took out a roll of parchment from the package and handed it to the herdsmen. The beginning of the paper read, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, they regard all things as straw dogs, and saints are not benevolent, they regard the people as straw dogs, but..." and the end reads, "Great Qin is about to perish, and only the wise The lord Tang Zheng saved the common people in the world with the power of one person."

The herdsmen couldn't understand the characters of Zhongyuan, but they still fell to the ground and worshiped excitedly one after another, as if they mistook her and Nanyue for the goddesses outside the wilderness.

Wuming and Nanyue rode their horses away, and although they were holding two horses, they still sat on the back of one horse.Nanyue turned her head by chance and saw that Wuming's ears were completely red because of the reaction of the herdsmen just now.

Nanyue thought it was funny, and reached out to pinch Wuming's red ears, but her fingers were grabbed fiercely.

The horse galloped across the wasteland.

Wuming bent down and kissed Nanyue's lips.

……

In the depths of the wilderness, there are no herdsmen.

This is the world of wolves.

Especially now that it is winter, when wolves gather.As soon as spring comes and food becomes more abundant, the pregnant female wolves leave the pack with their male wolves.Give birth to wolf cubs in the small mountain depression, teach them to hunt, and wait for them to grow up slowly, waiting for the coming of the next winter.

There are also some wolf packs that will never disband and raise their offspring together like a big family.In the past, Wuming and Nanyue lived in such a pack of wolves. Later, when they grew up, Wuming took the initiative to take Nanyue away from the pack of wolves, and the two lived in the boundless wasteland.

On the second day after entering the wasteland, Wuming and Nanyue encountered a pack of wolves.

Xiao Huangsha's yellow hair exploded into a hedgehog, his roar was horrible, the two horses flicked their tails anxiously, and hid behind Wuming.

Wuming glanced at the wolves from a distance, and asked Nanyue, "Do you want to eat wolf meat?"

Nanyue nodded.

The ring finger touched the handle of the knife.

The next moment, the wolves scattered and fled.

Wuming didn't chase after, took Nanyue's hand, and continued to walk deep into the wilderness,

The master gave Wuming two years, so she was not in a hurry to rush to the southern border immediately, and rarely rode a horse along the way.Stop and go, passing by many places where they used to live.

In the wilderness there is a stream flowing down from the snow-capped mountains, which will not freeze even in the cold winter. They once pitched a tent by the stream, but now there is no trace of it.The creek is getting shallower and shallower, and it will disappear in a few years.

Wuming and Nanyue set up a tent again by the stream, lay by the stream at night, listened to the sound of the water and looked at the stars, and then left without nostalgia.

When they were about to reach the edge of the wilderness, they found the cave where they had separated. At that time, Wuming was in a coma. Nanyue left her in the cave and went out to find water to wash her, but was brought back to the Central Plains by Ren Yazi.Later Wuming left with the two masters and never returned to the cave.

At this time, there was already a new resident in the cave, a vicious bobcat, it was guarding the entrance of the cave, and the nameless voice of the bobcat's cub was vaguely heard inside.

The big bobcat stared at little Huangsha curiously, and little Huangsha raised his head and meowed at it.

"Want to go and have a look?" Wuming asked.

Nanyue shook her head without hesitation: "I don't want to."

So the two didn't stay any longer and walked straight through the cave.

More than ten years have passed, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that they are still together.

We will always be together in the future.

……

Although the desert of Shudu is vast, it is far inferior to the desert of Weibei.

Even though the two spent a lot of time wandering around in the wasteland, they still walked out of the wasteland after three months.The two looked back at the same time, and lamented that the boundless wilderness that they thought was endless when they were young was so easily conquered under their feet.

Beyond the wilderness is the road to Shu.

Sometimes the mountains are rugged and the wind and sand are blowing, sometimes the trees are dense, covering the sky and the sun, and the whole road is full of indescribable weirdness.But the only similarity between the trails from the beginning to the end is the danger. If you are not careful, you may slide down the mountain wall and die under the cliff.

Walking along this path trampled by countless caravans and horseshoes, you will pass through Shushan Mountain and finally enter the territory of southern Xinjiang.

With nameless lightness skills, naturally he didn't take the steep cliff seriously. Instead, the two horses walked behind cautiously and tremblingly, dragging the speed extremely slowly.

Wuming simply took this opportunity to concentrate on teaching Nanyue Qinggong.

Xiao Nanyue stepped on the boulder with one foot and swayed, Wuming hummed softly behind her.

A month passed, at the end of spring and early summer, when they arrived at Shu Mountain, Nanyue's lightness kung fu had also improved a lot, and she could almost jump briskly on the Shu road.

There was another dense forest ahead, Wuming had heard the rustling in the forest long ago, but he didn't care about it, he just held Nanyue's hand tightly.

They took a few steps forward.

Eight men with long knives sprang out from the dense forest: "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to survive, leave money to buy the road!"

The eight men had ferocious expressions and their swords were sharp. They saw that Wuming and Nanyue were crossing the road of Shu, they must not be ordinary people who don't know martial arts, and they still formed a gossip formation in a decent manner.

It's a pity that the lines of robbery were too rustic, Wuming couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

The eight people looked at each other in blank dismay, trying to put on a more ferocious look.

Nameless laughed out loud.

The last black-skinned young man put away his long knife, frowned and scratched his head in a daze and asked, "Are you nameless...?"

Wuming raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Hei?"

The young man nodded emphatically and smiled brightly: "Yes, yes, I am Xiao Hei... It's been 12 years, and Wuming, you still remember me."

Several other men also put down their knives and looked at Xiao Hei with a teasing smile.

Nanyue's fingers kept drawing circles on Wuming's palm, making her feel itchy.Wuming held on tighter, and put his fingertips against Nanyue's fingers, preventing her from moving any further.

At the same time, her eyes were obviously cold: "I'm going to southern Xinjiang, so I stopped by here to have a look. Xiao Hei, is your father okay?"

The implication is that first, she was just passing by, and second, what she wanted to see was Xiao Hei's father.

His tone was blunt and cold, showing no sympathy.

Xiao Hei is not stupid, he can feel that the two girls in front of him are holding hands, although there is nothing strange about their atmosphere, but it is weird.

Those teasing men immediately put away their smiles and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"Father is in the village, Wuming, just follow me." Xiao Hei led the way.

Wuming led Nanyue to walk behind.

When the two masters took Wuming out of the wasteland, the first place they came to was Mount Shu. The three met bandits who robbed them.There was no murderous intent on those people, so the second master obeyed the master's persuasion to spare their lives and only beat them severely.As a result, there was a thunderstorm on the Shu Mountain that night, and the three of them couldn't get down the mountain, and were trapped on the Shu Road. The bandits they had taught them took the initiative to let them live in the village overnight.

Xiao Hei's father is the owner of the village.

Three people live together for three months.

The master persuaded the people in the village to stop doing robbery for a living, teach them martial arts, and let them go as escorts.

At that time, Wu Ming didn't know martial arts, and was chased and beaten by the second master every day, and his life was miserable.Xiao Hei, who was still a little boy, was always laughing at the side. He laughed once, and the second master beat him once. It was a real slap in the face, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.Xiao Hei didn't cry when he was beaten, but on the day they left, he cried so loudly that the whole village could hear him.

But after so many years, he probably only vaguely remembers her being named Wuming.

Instead, Xiao Hei's father saw Wuming from a distance, and his eyes lit up: "...His Highness Changning!"

Xiao Hei's father is not like those bandits in Daxing Mountain, they just hide in the mountains all day long and don't know anything. They left Shushan to work as a bodyguard, and they knew a long time ago that the man who taught them martial arts was the current eldest prince. The little girl was named the princess of Changning.

The environment of Mount Shu is not as good as that of Daxing Mountain. The area of ​​the village is small, and many people are practicing martial arts in the middle, practicing the Bagua formation taught by the master back then.Xiao Hei's father was standing at the front of the crowd, kneeling down towards Wu Ming in amazement.

Wuming quickly walked over to help him up: "No need."

The village owner just stood up, but the nameless voice went cold again: "I haven't seen you in ten years, why are you back to robbing houses?"

The owner of the village frowned, and looked straight at Xiao Hei and his party not far away: "Xiao Hei, did you bring those bastards to rob again? Why did your mother hit His Highness Chang Ning and make me look bad?" you."

Xiao Hei's already dark cheeks were even blackened by the father's yelling. He subconsciously wanted to refute, but seeing Wuming's cold expression, he felt inexplicably afraid.So in the end he muttered: "...Didn't you say that the village is in a recession? My brothers and I just want to help the village get some money."

"Then you can't steal other people's money!" The village owner sternly said, "We are in the bodyguard business, so even if the business has been down for a couple of years, we can't smash the signboard!"

"But..." Xiao Hei wanted to say something, but was stared back by the village owner's murderous eyes, and stood there with his head bowed.

Village owner: "Take your bastard brothers to jump off the Shu cliff! A hundred times!"

Shuya is a small cliff next to the cottage, but it is only three feet high, and there is a pool of water at the bottom.There is no danger for martial arts practitioners jumping into the pool from the cliffs of Shu, but it is only the end of spring now, and the temperature on the mountains of Shu is still frighteningly low.Xiao Hei shivered, and left without saying a word, leading his group of robbing brothers.

"It's because I didn't teach the dog well, so I hope His Highness doesn't take it to heart." The village owner apologized seriously, and then looked at Nanyue, "Is this little girl...?"

Wuming hugged Nanyue tightly: "He is my closest person."

The village owner is also a person who has seen the world. He saw the intimate posture of the two, and saw the paired hairpins on their buns, and suddenly understood something in his heart.

Wuming didn't say much, and got straight to the point: "The business of your bodyguard business has not been good in the past two years?"

"Yes." The village owner sighed, "After the First World War in Weibei, the Central Plains were in chaos, and there were fewer and fewer caravans willing to run merchants. We can only retreat to this small village in Shushan. I don't know when the turmoil will come. Just arrived at the head..."

The village owner wanted to scold King Qin for being fatuous and the sixth prince for being incompetent in governing the country, but the person in front of him was the princess of the imperial court after all, not the brothers in the village, so he abruptly took his words back.

"Within two years." Wuming said accurately.

The village owner was startled, and it took him a while to realize that Wuming was following his words. .

Nanyue took out the parchment from the package and handed it to Wuming, who calmly handed it to the village owner.

After reading the contents on the parchment, the village master looked horrified, stared at Wuming with trembling hands, and spoke incoherently: "Your Highness, he finally... this... is really a great thing for the people of the world!"

Although people in the capital say that His Highness is a useless dandy, the Walled Master has actually received his favor, and after spending three full months with him, the Walled Master knows that His Highness is definitely not a dandy.In the past, the village owner secretly thought, why isn't His Royal Highness the prince?Then King Qin was too biased.If His Highness is the crown prince, how could this world be like this!Now that what he wanted in his heart finally came true, tears almost filled his eyes, and he knelt down in front of Wuming again.

Wuming held him by the arm, he had already brought what he needed to bring, so he said goodbye without saying anything.

At this time, Xiao Hei was jumping off Shuya Cliff with his cronies, and the eight of them were panting.

"Xiao Hei, who is that girl, your father is so afraid of her?" one person asked.

"Judging from father's tone, it seems to be His Royal Highness the princess in the court." Xiao Hei replied.

"That's amazing, Xiao Hei, how did you know her?"

"I don't remember much."

"cut."

Xiao Hei took a breath and thought back seriously: "It seems that she lived in our cottage with two masters 12 years ago. She was not good at martial arts and was often beaten by the master. I laughed beside her every time, and that's how I got to know her. "

At this time, the few people were running to the highest point of the Shu cliff, and were about to jump down, but they happened to see Wuming leading Nanyue across the steep rocks in the distance between the cliffs. gone.

Several people blinked in astonishment.

They had lived in the Shu Mountains for many years, and they didn't dare to take it lightly when they walked the Shu Road, so she passed by so easily?

... Is this fucking bad at martial arts?

Xiao Hei scratched his head embarrassingly.

……

Leaving Shushan Mountain and heading south along the Shu Road, the Wuming duo finally arrived in Southern Xinjiang in midsummer.

The two rode a horse deep into the southern Xinjiang rainforest. Xiao Huangsha has now grown into a big cat, and can no longer be curled up in Nanyue's arms, but can only lie on the back of another horse, looking at each other in front of her with resentment. two people.

Another half a month later, they arrived at the Zhennan Palace deep in the rainforest.

The King of Zhennan sent three hundred light cavalry to meet them. Even in the soft rainforest, the sound of horseshoes was as orderly as thunder, and the ground was trembling slightly.There are many turmoil in southern Xinjiang, and the king of Zhennan often leads troops to go out. The soldiers in southern Xinjiang are well-trained. Although they are not as good as the Weibei army that has lived in the desert all year round, they are not far behind.

Neither the Weibei Army nor the Southern Border Army can defeat the Central Plains Zhenguo Army.

However, the Weibei army has to guard the Weibei all the time, and the terrain from southern Xinjiang to the Central Plains is steep, and it is difficult for a large army to go north. In addition, the remote terrain of southern Xinjiang and the constant civil strife. Caravan, so the two armies have been in peace with the Central Plains.

But now the Central Plains is in chaos, the caravan from the Central Plains to the southern border is gone, and the various promises made by the Tang family to the Zhennan King are difficult to fulfill, and the Zhennan King is naturally a little bit unable to hold back.

That's why Wuming wanted to come to Nanjiang to meet him, and to give him a word for Master.

Three hundred Qingqi escorted the two of them to the outside of the palace, and Zhennan Wang personally stood at the door to greet them. At this time, light rain fell from the sky, and the plantains in the mansion were soaked.There are slight ripples on the wide artificial lake.

Immediately, there was a maid holding an umbrella, so they didn't get a little rain all the way.

The three of them sat in the pavilion of the artificial lake. King Zhennan laid down on the recliner leisurely while stroking his beard, and asked knowingly with a smile, "Your Highness and Miss Nan came all the way to Southern Xinjiang, why?"

Wuming took a sip of tea and replied, "Master asked me to give the prince a message."

"Oh?"

"He said that within two years, the chaos in the Central Plains will definitely subside." Wuming paused for a moment, then added, "Well...according to the current time, there should only be one and a half years left."

King Zhennan blew his beard and narrowed his eyes: "That's the only sentence?"

Nameless nodded: "Only one sentence."

"Since there is only such a sentence, why should His Highness make a trip in person, and just order someone to pass on the message?" Zhennan Wang asked.

"Master said, it's more sincere to let me come in person." Wuming laughed.

Zhennan Wang patted his thigh and laughed loudly: "It is true."
