The fairy gate in the sea of clouds, thinking over the cliff.
Xue Xing was dressed in plain clothes, with a wide robe and narrow sleeves. He sat cross-legged under Siguo Cliff, closing his eyes and concentrating.
After taking off the crown of the master of the sword-wielding hall, this young monk, who always had a gloomy face and gave people a feeling of being very difficult to get along with, and full of scheming, became more peaceful and less murderous.
The moment Ming Yangzi appeared here, Xue Xing opened his eyes.
"Master." Xue Xing stood up and saluted Mingyangzi.
The master of Yunhai Immortal Sect's Duan Sin Peak was dressed in black and a large Taoist robe. When he saw this, he just nodded indifferently and said, "Xing'er, do you hold grudges in your heart for being a master?"
"Reporting to Master, I never bear any grudge." Xue Xing said.
Ming Yangzi looked at Xue Xing for a while, then patted the young monk on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work these years."
"There is nothing hard or hard." Xue Xing said, "Since I chose the Sword Mastery Hall, I understand in my heart that I am the root of the big tree of Immortal Sect and can only grow in the darkness. Junior Brother Lu Chen is different from me. He is a branch of the Immortal Sect, and he is worthy of recognition. This decision was my disciple's mistake, and he deserves to be punished. Master, don't worry."
"Being in darkness, your heart is toward the light." Ming Yangzi said, "Xing'er, like Shen'er, you were brought up by your master. The sword-wielding hall and the law-enforcement hall are the two sides of my crime-breaking peak. The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh. This misstep may not be a bad thing. The world is complicated and you are still young. If you experience more, sooner or later, you will be able to stand in front of everyone and be on your own."
"Listen to Master's teachings." Xue Xing said.
"Actually, as a teacher, I came here because there is something I need you to do." Mingyangzi said.
Xue Xing seemed to have expected it and was not surprised. He asked: "What's the matter?"
"Right now, the Immortal Sect seems to be calm, but in fact there are already turbulent undercurrents." Ming Yangzi said, "After several consecutive battles, the Immortal Sect has become a little bit overwhelmed. Now your master, the master uncle, has to retreat for a period of time, and the grandmaster is also sitting in seclusion. The cultivation of those boys at Wangfeng is no longer as amazing as it used to be. Among the younger generation, only your senior brother Yun Wanggui, Chen Yang and the others are left to hold important responsibilities."
Xue Xing already understood, but he did not speak and chose to continue listening.
"Shen'er and that boy from Zuowang Peak, Lin Xiao, went to Qingming Sword Sect. Do you know about this, right?" Mingyangzi said.
"Disciple knows." Xue Xing nodded.
"They went to Qingming Sword Sect just to find a way to restore Dong Xiaowan's three corpses on Xiao Jing." Mingyangzi said, "But it has been more than two months since these two people went to Qingming Sword Sect. Time has passed and there is still no trace. If their life cards were not still there, I would have suspected that they were dead."
"Master wants his disciple to sneak into Qingming Sword Sect and find out what is going on between the two of them?" Xue Xing said.
"That's right." Mingyangzi said, "When the two of them left the Immortal Sect, they did not expect such a difficult situation to arise. Although the Qingming Sword Sect has long lost its atmosphere a hundred years ago, Xiao Jing's cultivation Because, I haven't touched the threshold of the quasi-sage, it's really embarrassing to have an arm cut off in the battle in Thousand Cave City. But the Qingming Sword Sect, after all, is considered a major sect in the north. There are still a few supreme elders who can do it."
"Based on their cultivation, there won't be any life-threatening problems." Xue Xing said, "But Junior Brother Lu Chen and Lin Xiao have indeed disappeared for more than two months, and their circumstances are unknown, which is indeed worrying. "
"That's why I want you to come." Mingyangzi said, "Shen'er is a good-looking person. Although Dong Xiaowan is from Mengdie Peak, as the deputy head of the Sword-wielding Hall, she was previously in Qianku City. When something happened, he naturally felt sorry, so he and Lin Xiao did such nonsense. Now that the matter has come to this, there is no use in talking more. Xing'er, go and find out what Qingming Sword Sect is doing now. What kind of situation is this? By the way, it would be better if we can bring those two back."
"Okay." Xue Xing agreed, "Without further delay, my disciple will set off now."
"Be careful in everything." Mingyangzi warned, "Everyone around you thinks you are thinking about crossing the cliff. If you leave the Immortal Sect quietly, no one will notice. If there is any trouble, my master will naturally stop it for you."
"Thank you, Master." Xue Xing said.
On this day, Xue Xing quietly left the Yunhai Immortal Sect from Siguo Cliff.
At the same time, the envoys sent by Zhou Dynasty to Mianchi City on the border between the two countries had been finalized.
The envoy who went to Mianchi City to confirm the diplomatic relations between the Zhou Dynasty and Yan State was none other than Tang Shiqi, the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty.
And the person responsible for escorting the envoy team is none other than General Zhenxi, Gucheng!
The two people sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty to Mianchi this time, one was the head of the hundred officials, and the other was a brave general in the Western Region. Judging from the appearance, it can be said that they gave the Yan State enough face.
But this meeting between the two countries is destined to cause a bloody storm on the border between the two countries.
…
The second major event was the battle between Zheng and Song Dynasties. Because of the arrival of a person, the final outcome was once again stirred up.
After the autumn rain more than a month ago, the weather in the north became sharply cold. There are five states in the central region, with Zhongzhou as the axis, Qingzhou to the east, Xihuang to the west, Southern Border to the south, and Northern Territory to the north.
The spring and autumn seasons in the five central states, the northern border and the western wilderness are extremely short. People often think that when spring comes, summer has already arrived. The same goes for the change of autumn and winter. As long as there is an autumn rain, the weather in the north will become extremely cold.
It’s just that the situation in the north and south will be better.
If it's the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, north of the Great Wall, it's still freezing cold there even in summer. So much so that the far north is an ice sheet.
Among the four seas, the Beihai, located to the north of the North, rarely breaks ice all year round.
And if we were to describe the difference in winter between the north and the south, we could only describe it as "feathers of snow" in the south and "wind, frost and swords" in the north.
In the vast territory of the north, after passing Hulao Pass, the snow that falls in winter is nothing but snow. It is like a knife and a snowball. Every winter, a large number of people freeze to death from the bitter cold here.
The national war between Zheng and Song Dynasty began in the late spring of the 532nd year of the Song Dynasty. It has been going on for almost a year now.
Led by the Confucian swordsman Song Zhiwen, the Song Dynasty's cavalry crossed the border between the two countries and marched eastward, then moved to the north and attacked eighteen cities of the Zheng Kingdom. Their swords reached Zhengdu's last line of defense, Sishui Pass.
At that time, the state of Zheng was in the middle of a civil war.
Before the victory between the princelings and the young princelings could be decided, Song Zhiwen had already led the Song army to Sishui Pass. Once Sishui Pass falls and Song Zhiwen points his sword at Zhengdu, Zheng will no longer have a defense line to stop the Song cavalry.
At the critical moment, Chen Shouren, a young master of the younger generation in Jixia Academy, led 30,000 elite soldiers from Qi State to rush to the aid of Zheng State and guard Sishui Pass. With 30,000 troops, Shengsheng blocked the 100,000 cavalrymen of Confucian Sword Song Zhiwen outside Sishui Pass. .
The confrontation between the two armies delayed this war, which should have been without any suspense, until the coming winter of this year.
