[Tianbao 13 Years · Bailongkou]

It's summer time, and the willows in Bailongkou yearn for the wind listlessly, with a layer of dust hanging on their leaves and drooping branches.Everywhere is dry and hot, and the war horses don't listen to people's orders, and run to cool places one by one to escape the heat.On the wide Wolong grassland, a troop stood under the scorching sun, undergoing training. They were all dressed in white jackets.Ning Jingyuan was wearing a gray Taoist robe at the moment, holding the Shence Army Tang sword in his hand, "In this hot day, what everyone learns is concentration." A seam was torn open, and a gust of air flowed through it head-on. "Sword, I have distributed it to everyone. It is the rule of the snow troopers to practice with a sword." Ning Jingyuan holds the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and presses the middle finger of his left hand on the blade. You and the snow-walking army are also swordsmen. The highest level of swords is "clear mirror and still water". You understand every sword you see and see through it. This is what swordsmen want." As he spoke, he held The blade seemed to have a frosty sheen.

Suddenly, a young man ran quickly to the vicinity of the phalanx. Like the swordsmen in the formation, he was dressed in plain clothes and held a standard long sword. He shouted at Ning Jingyuan, "General Ning, protect the inner camp Looting a village near Sun Moon Cliff!"

Ning Jingyuan looked at him, "How many people are there?"

The teenager replied, "About 120 people."

Ning Jingyuan nodded, "Yes. The first brigade of the Snow Walking Army obeys the order and follows me to Sun Moon Cliff!"

The originally peaceful village turned into plundering due to robbers robbing herbs. Several bandits surrounded a family with a greedy expression, and grinned ferociously, "Don't worry, folks, we won't rob you of every needle and thread, but, I heard... Amidst the presumptuousness, a gangster pushed away a middle-aged couple and broke into the house. His evil eyes instantly caught the trembling girl lying under the table, "I heard that your daughter is very beautiful, huh?" "

The couple quickly knelt on the ground, crying and begging, "Please, our daughter is too young to serve you! Just take whatever else you want..."

The gangster slapped the couple's hands away with a sly smile, and walked towards the low table laughing arrogantly.At this time, a chill suddenly drifted through the hot summer wind, and then a white light flashed past, and suddenly there was a person in front of the gangster and on the bench in front of the table. This person was wearing a gray Taoist uniform with a calm expression on his face He smiled quietly and looked at the gangster who was still baring his teeth and claws a second ago.

There were big beads of sweat on the gangster's face, only he knew that he couldn't move his whole body.

Ning Jingyuan smiled gently, "Pindao just blocked your acupuncture points, so don't be too alarmed." After saying that, he moved the stool away with his right hand, bent down and stretched out his hand towards the girl under the table, "It's okay, you can come out now. "The girl was still in shock, and stretched out her hand tremblingly. Ning Jingyuan gently pulled her out. Due to the fear just now, the girl still kept as far away from the gangster as possible, but Ning Jingyuan patted her back without hesitation. Pat the gangster on the shoulder, "Look, your subordinates."

The gangsters looked out, and all white-clothed swordsmen stood in six rows, and in front of them were the gangsters in the village of Youying who were kneeling and bound.Ning Jingyuan looked up at the two-snake hexagonal snowflake flag of the Snowwalking Legion dancing in the wind, smiled quietly and narrowed his eyes.Suddenly, he felt that the corner of his clothes was being pulled by someone, and when he looked back, it was the girl who was still in panic just now. "Excuse me, is the army still accepting people?"

The boy who reported the letter was Luan Qingwu, the future battalion commander of the Holy Snow Battalion, and the girl was the deputy battalion commander Zheqing.

【a few days ago】

With ruined walls and ruins, gunpowder smoke fills the air, this is a corner of the battlefield, and it is also the Shura field after the curtain is over.Dozens of hexagonal double-snake snowflake flags were flying in the air, and the winter wind whizzed past, making the flags flutter.On a small hill, Ning Wu was dressed in the gray and blue general uniform of the Snow-Treading Army, and Shi Yun was wearing the dark blue costume of the Tang Sect. The two looked at the Snow-Treading Army who were cleaning the battlefield, and they were silent .Ning Wu raised his head and looked at the sunset sky, and clenched his fists, "In this way, the road to Tongguan will be opened. These Spike Army are just mobs."

Shi Yun fiddled with the thousand receivers in her hand, "However, the fall of Luoyang had a great impact on the morale of the Tang army."

A lazy voice sounded from behind the two, "There is no need to worry about this. As long as Tongguan is still there, Chang'an will be there, and the rebels will always be just rebels." It was Mu Qingze who was guiding and treating the wounded.

Ning Wu crossed his arms under his armpits, laughed dryly, and then walked down the hill, "Every battalion will leave after a stick of incense." After saying this, he walked away alone.A soldier wearing a snow-treading military uniform followed without others noticing. Ning Wu pretended not to see him, but walked straight into the battlefield and stopped in an unoccupied place.

"You came to look for me again?" Ning Wu's tone was a little dignified.

"The position of Skywalker, only you can take over." A hoarse tone came from the soldier's mouth.

"Uncle Tang." Ning Wu sighed, "You made a mistake. Now, the imperial court treats me well, and Yin Shang regards me as a brother. How can I seek rebellion?" Ning Wu's sentence seemed firm, but when he said it appear hesitant.

"Time is running out. Son, think twice."

On the first day of the first month of the 15th year of Tianbao, Luoyang City resumed its lively scene after the baptism of war, but this lively scene was based on one thing, that is, Jianguo.

Because Luoyang defender Gao Xianzhi had previously adopted the tactics of abandoning Luoyang and defending Tongguan, Luoyang was captured by the rebels without much resistance.Having settled down in the Eastern Capital, An Lushan decided to proclaim himself emperor here as he was unable to conquer Tongguan for a while.

Almost half of Luoyang City's defenses were withdrawn, leaving only the South Gate Camp, East Gate Camp and a few city guards left for outside defense.

At si o'clock that morning, "Is it cloudy?" Li Yinshang looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, shook his dark red straight skirt, and stepped into this Luoyang teahouse unhurriedly, where a woman in light gray clothes sat quietly. In a corner of the teahouse, I held a cup of tea with two fingers, but never took a sip. "Are you here?" The sitting woman greeted softly.

"Here we come." Li Yinshang's expression was calm, and he did not show any surprise. "General Su and General Zhou have brought their military uniforms, and we can go to the Wind Wolf Camp in half an hour." The expression on the woman's face was very ordinary. It took half a magic face.Li Yinshang frowned inadvertently, and then returned to normal, "Well, I got it. You, me, Yanzhou, and Mochen can go there then." The woman nodded and wanted to get up to leave, but she heard Li Yin He groaned, "Wait." Then he was taken aback.

"There is still half an hour, don't worry." Li Yinshang's words could not hear the waves, but it just made Gu Qingshu feel a little hot.

"Yin injury?" She seemed to ask cautiously.

"Qingqing, why me?" Li Yinshang's mouth suddenly had a few wry smiles. Since Gu Qingshu came to Fengyang, he almost took over half of the military affairs. After working hard for days, his hair was even a little dull.

Gu Qingshu's tone was indeed a little stiff, "If you think I'm annoying, you don't need to talk to me." Li Yinshang suddenly stretched out his right hand, and gently stroked the scar under Gu Qingshu's eye with his fingertips, "I just don't understand, these years, I've always had a question that I'm not sure about..."

Gu Qingshu was a little dumb, his eyes seemed to avoid the former's eyes in distress, his eyes seemed bright and dark, and he was absent-mindedly looking at the noisy city of Luoyang today. "There are two answers, one is normal, and the other is abnormal. , I’ll just say one.” Li Yinshang put his hands on the table, picked up his cup of warm tea, there was no look of disappointment on his face, but his tone was flat, “The latter, let’s talk.”

Gu Qingshu stood up suddenly, approached Li Yinshang's cheek, raised his lips and pressed a kiss between his eyes, "Because I can only be yours."

After parting, Li Yinshang went to the gathering place of the Windwolf Camp alone, and when he passed by a bush of dead leaves in the Fengxiao Forest, he suddenly felt an inexplicable cold current surging around him, which was different from the cold air in winter, but The whole person feels a little creepy.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, in the shadows, a sharp long knife cut through thousands of needles like a thunderbolt, and stabbed Li Yinshang's back. !

The Remnant Shu Sword and Remnant Green Sword were buried in Tingfengya by Li Yinshang himself many days ago, and now he has only an ordinary saber in his hand, without hesitation, "Dang!" The sword came out of its sheath and swept across Shooting down the flying blade, at this moment, three black shadows moved at an extremely fast speed in the heights of the forest, a little cold light pierced into Li Yinshang's dark eyes, and then the sword light suddenly appeared, dazzled!

"Where is the Canshu Sword!" Yinyuan Wuwei's cold voice pierced into Li Yinshang's ears, but instantly angered the latter.

"It turns out that Yin Yuanhui did not hesitate to attack this king and the Cang Yue army many times just for the sake of the broken sword." Li Yinshang asked sharply, but the only answer he had was a sharp blade.

How can Li Yinshang sit still, the ordinary Tang sword in his hand suddenly exudes a bit of frosty luster, snowflakes are flying all over the sky, and as the dark red figure rises into the sky, four sword auras are drawn at high speed in mid-air in an instant, and the little stars will Frozen by the dazzling enemy offensive, and accompanied by a burst of blood!

The three Yinyuan Wuwei had shocked expressions on their faces, but their Trinity put up Sancai Guiyuan's opposing posture to resist the attack.The ensuing turn from defense to offense was even more severe than the previous assassination. Li Yinshang's Heaven and Earth Frozen Cloud Sword was unable to repel the three of them, and he fell into a predicament instantly.He snorted coldly, "Yin Yuanhui learned the news so quickly that he was able to break through this move. However, the long river of swords is definitely not a matter of one move and one style!" He changed the subject, and the sword's edge also flashed away. , the snowflakes flying all over the sky turned into Xiao Xiaofei leaves of boundless fallen trees in an instant, and the blue wave-like sword energy pierced through the predicament, "Shua, Shua, Shua!" The three martial guards were forced to retreat at the same time, as if there was a scene in front of them that was divided by the full moon in the sky. The shadow flashed by, and the sword edge swept across the three of them like a gust of wind, and then a cross was cut on each of their chests.The two sides are now ten steps apart, and the flying leaves just now have quietly disappeared.

"This time there is no return." Li Yinshang sighed softly, and saw that the three of them spurted a stream of blood from their chests almost at the same moment, and fell to the ground and died.But he didn't withdraw his sword, instead he turned around and said to the big tree behind him, "Come out, you've been looking at it for a long time."

A person came out from behind the tree, dressed in white, with his back to Li Yinshang, and he couldn't see his facial expression, but through the back, he felt that the person had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"The remnant sword appeared in this dynasty to correct the troubled times. King Fengyang, hand it over." The voice was hoarse, and I always felt that it was deliberately not for Li Yinshang to discern.

Li Yin was relieved when he heard the words, "I want the sword? I don't have the sword. It's just that those who want to take the sword will end up like these people." There was only a whoosh, and the sword was raised , pointing the tip of the sword straight at the man's back.

"Why?" The man asked coldly, but Li Yinshang was inexplicably taken aback.For what for what...well, for...

While he was distracted, the man in white drifted away, but there was a sentence lingering around him for a long time, "You are because of Gu Qingshu."

But Li Yinshang suddenly remembered Gu Qingshu's haunting words, "I know how many times you have protected me."
