ecstasy

Winter Chasm is blizzarded and snowed.

The people and horses in the training ground shouted, and the white steam exhaled by the people and horses floated in the air, and the weather was freezing to death.

The morning star is still bright, and even the most resolute fighters will be sapped by the severe cold, but in the coldness and silence like submerged water, someone comes out with a whip, and the horse's hoof is almost frozen into ice, and the person on the horse is paler and colder than ice and snow .

"Lord Ning, it's snowing heavily today, take care of your body. Why don't you go home."

No one answered in the wind and snow, only the thin and thin shadow went away, with a lonely but straight back.

He is different from his usual impression - he is wearing a hunting suit for light riding, and the best thing to keep out the cold is a thin cloak. The cloak is dark blue, the color of shark silk in the deep sea, plain blue, but incomparable. Touching the heart and soul, it was swept away like the wind.

Qin Deng wrapped Mrs. Tang and opened the carriage and sedan chair. He sounded concerned, but he had no intention of getting out of the car to help.

He let out a long sigh of coldness: "I used to think that His Royal Highness Prince Qing was reluctant to part with the North Sea mermaid's appearance, so he promised him so much."

"What do your lords think?" the retainer beside him asked in a low voice, waiting for his answer.

"Now...he's kind of interesting." Qin Deng looked at the blue dot that disappeared in the vast snow, "He has an indescribable character. He's strong enough."

"Is Master Ning going to patrol the field today?" The retainer asked, "What is there to patrol in this place? The Dongzhou skirmishers outside King Qing's garrison, there are one by one, and they are all loose bones."

"Who knows. This one is going to be a princess." Qin Deng seemed to be a little bit embarrassed, "Seduce his stepson and kill him... he fell out of favor with the prince and regained his favor. Before he was 15 years old, he was trained with the prince in the army. See I'm used to his usual flimsy demeanor, but it's hard to think that this is a ruthless character."

There was silence.

They have no way of finding out what happened in Dongzhou these days, but they can hear some gossip.

For example, His Royal Highness King Lingjun must have died, and he was tricked by Ning Shiting to kill him by some means. All the people in the Palace of Lingjun in the Xizhou fiefdom were dismissed, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled. Went to Baili Mansion.

And the fact that Prince Qing was afraid of His Royal Highness King Lingjun had become a fact-it seemed to be confirmed by this, and it was just another suspicion.The Lingshan White Wolf does not exist, and the fact that King Lingjun deliberately turned against King Qing should also not exist.

No one loses anything in exchange for the death of a crippled man as a result of a trial.

Everyone's happy, isn't it?

Except for Ning Shiting.

He was always silent, with his snow-white eyelashes drooping, hiding the stars under his eyes, making him appear soft and fragile.

They are always worried that this person will do something to destroy all the existing situation, but such speculation has not come true.

Ning Shiting was not very talkative at first, he regained his spirit in silence, healed the wound from the wolf bite, and then everything was as usual.

Everything seemed to be back to the time before he was 15 years old, King Qing loved and relied on him, but he didn't see anyone else in his eyes, only King Qing's orders and what he wanted to do right now.

"My lord, go back."

The entourage around him has asked for orders for the third time. He tried his best to keep up with Ning Shiting's horse in the heavy snow, but the wind and frost cut it like a knife, and he couldn't keep up. door.

During the training time, even the garrison officer did not get up, the curtain was split in two by the wind of long knives and knives, the cold wind swept in with heavy snow, and everyone inside jumped up.

"What's wrong!"

"who!"

The leader raised his eyes, rolled up the quilt and shrunk back. As soon as he looked up, he saw the person riding away from the door—a pair of blue eyes, so beautiful that they were a bit evil.

It just disappeared in an instant, and I thought it was a dream.

When he glanced over, he thought Snow had turned into a fairy.

"The Dongzhou garrison has not practiced for a long time, is lazy, the city defense is unprotected, the residents are insecure, the North Sea is desolate, and the monsters and tigers watch... Now please take the post of the commander-in-chief of the Dongzhou garrison, and go to Qingwang to be the envoy to the left." , The garrison of Dongzhou belongs to the position of a first-rank minister. Please ask Qing Wang for permission, and pass it on to His Majesty."

Inside the big tent, Gu Feiyin took the paper from outside, the inside of the big tent was as warm as spring, only this piece of paper still had the coolness of the wind and snow.

Unlike answering other requests, he stopped and thought for a moment.Then asked: "How is he these days?"

The eyeliner he placed next to Ning Shiting said in a low voice: "The injury seems to have healed, and I don't want to lie down all the time. I got up this morning and went to inspect all the soldiers in the Dongzhou garrison. I saw that the military style is not neat and discipline is not strict. It is also a great achievement to say that you want to fight for the prince."

"He probably didn't say the latter sentence." Gu Feiyin snorted, but his usual coldness seemed to slow down a bit. He casually put the paper aside, "Let him be. He doesn't care about that." It’s okay, let him be distracted by other things. Keep an eye on him and don’t let him seek death.”

This little mermaid... He used to think that he was bored, but looking at it now, it might not be.

He doesn't care about some things that ordinary people care about, such as reputation, such as the hearts of people around him. What he cares about is power and the final result, which is why he can always hold a high position.

But he also has his own preferences.

"Also, let him take a look at the arrangements for the wedding, His Majesty has already approved it." Gu Feiyin lightly turned the wrench on her hand, "Marriage with Aning, in many ways, is a big deal. It's good. He doesn't have any power behind him, His Majesty should be very straightforward, saying that he is willing to let the Queen's family take Aning into naturalization, give him a status, let him have an equal status, and marry me."

Qin Deng whispered beside him: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid His Majesty also wants to win over Lord Ning."

Ning Shiting's reputation spread far and wide, and the emperor mainly took a fancy to his method of making incense.

The soul-returning incense system is one less time, and the poisonous flood dragon itself is a rare spiritual thing, everyone wants to take a trip, even if it can't be used as a handy weapon, at least it can be used as a material for cultivation.

"He knows about this, what does Aning say?" Gu Feiyin asked.

"Master Ning only said it was casual, but it seems that he is not very interested." Qin Deng said. "Tell me about His Highness's arrangement."

"Forget it. I'll go and tell him." Gu Feiyin got up, "Your Majesty means that we should just go back to the Royal City, where the wedding will be held."

His voice was cloudy and uncertain, and it was impossible to figure out the meaning behind it.

Lately Emperor Ling has been very suspicious of Gu Feiyin, so asking him to go back to the royal capital to get married at this time may or may not mean to investigate and monitor him.The two sides are already tense, and a big wedding may relax the tense atmosphere a little.

It is also convenient to test the truth.

In the middle of the night, a corner of the camp tent was opened, Gu Feiyin walked in short, and gestured for others not to disturb.

It always seemed cold inside the tent, and the charcoal fire wasn't hot enough.

The beautiful merman was leaning against the desk with his eyes closed, and there was a military training file in front of him. He leaned with his head tilted and his hands down, and the candlelight reflected his pale and peaceful face softly and brightly.

Sharks are indeed beautiful.

It's just that the beauty of the poisonous dragon is really hard to touch.

Gu Feiyin thought for a while, and between waking up Ning Shiting directly and leaving, she chose to wake him up directly: "A'Ning."

Ning Shiting seemed to have sensed something in his sleep. When he opened his eyes and saw his face, he was startled for a moment, and then he came back to his senses: "Dian... the lord."

"It seems that my son looks so similar to me that you won't recognize him when you wake up."

Ning Shiting's face was pale, his eyes were lowered, and his snow-white eyelashes seemed to glow.

Gu Feiyin's tone was playful, and he casually threw the memorial in his hand to him, and his voice turned into a gentle and ruthless voice: "You will get married next month, follow His Majesty's order, and join the Queen's family. You know what to do, be obedient."

Ning Shiting didn't make a sound.

"Be obedient, Aning, I will not hold you accountable for everything you do. I only ask you for this, understand?"

Gu Feiyin said softly, "If you want me to love you, I will love you too - when everything is over, I will fulfill my responsibilities as a husband, okay?"

Ning Shiting replied softly, "...OK."

Gu Feiyin left.

Ning Shiting also got up slowly and put on the fox fur.His voice was a little hoarse: "Is there a letter from Baili Mansion today?"

According to the time, Gu Tingshuang should have woken up.If he wakes up smoothly, according to the speed of travel, he will arrive at Baili Mansion in the near future and join Tingshu and the others.

The contacts and people they have planted in Xizhou will not disperse. Gu Tingshuang is a very good leader. He has been working for many years, which is enough to ensure that they have a group of sincere people. Take orders from Gu Tingshuang.

It's just that there has been no letter from listening to the book, and there is no movement.

Vague anxiety and uneasiness silently weighed on my heart.But he could only forcefully suppress this daze and anxiety.

Before him was a dark, untrodden road, and he must walk alone now.

Regardless of the dissuasion of his servants, Ning Shiting flew on his horse - the wind and snow outside were heavy, his voice drifted in the wind: "I'm going to review the distribution of the garrison."

"Master Ning is here again..."

Whispering voices.

"Isn't he in poor health? Why has he been patrolling us these days? We didn't dare to rest..."

"Hush, don't talk, the mermaid has good hearing. Maybe he wants to promote some people to follow King Qing?"

The soldiers in front of the tent all laughed: "Everyone knows that the people under King Qing must have some spiritual power. Where can we people go? I'm afraid it's just to entertain us!"

"Tell me, is he the little boy surnamed Ning from before... the great benefactor of Dongzhou?"

"Absolutely not, the young master before has made military exploits... It's not King Qing's ban and scorpion."

"Shut up! Array! He's coming!"

The spirit horse galloped past, Ning Shiting reined in the horse and stopped at the heavy snow training ground, there was no other emotion in the dark blue eyes of the merman.

He has heard too many discussions and misunderstandings over the years, and he has long since lost his sense of them.

His voice was a little hoarse, "You are soldiers of Dongzhou. It is severe winter at the border, heavy snow and bitter cold. Everyone who was willing to come here must be a person with lofty ideals. It's just that the wind and snow weakened the will and turned the soldiers of Dongzhou into a group of useless people."

"I'm not here to amuse you, I just want to say a word." Ning Shiting coughed, and a sick blush appeared on his cheeks, "Those who are willing to regroup, listen to my order, clean up the military discipline within one month, and perform their duties "If you don't want to, send them home."

"If you don't accept me, three drops of water under the eaves are enough, just come up and challenge."

"I won't be someone's soldier for you, I want you to know who you are, and I want you to remember how to protect this land."

This is the last thing he can do for Dongzhou, for this land that has been sucked up by King Qing.

Ning Shiting flipped his wrist, and pulled out Xueliang's long knife—for a split second, a snowy owl on the tree flapped its wings and brushed away a piece of falling snow.

The golden light in Snowy Owl's eyes lit up and flashed again.

At this moment, his figure seemed to overlap with before. In the back mountain of the Xizhou Palace, he slashed open the burning mountain gate, waiting for the boy in the wheelchair to come back.

In his previous life, he would rather Shiting be deceived and manipulated by others, with a weapon, he would not choose his master. In this life, he will never do this again - a weapon, he must use his own power to protect the person he should protect.

The boy he loved so much never used him as a weapon.
