The soldier's courtyard is like a single courtyard with a small door and a small household, while the Grand Commander's Mansion is a "mansion" with a deep courtyard and even a rockery, running water and a small pavilion.
Vice Commander Bai led Xin Zhuo in. His square, unsmiling face was filled with strange smiles, which was very disgusting.
Xin Zhuo endured it again and again but still couldn't hold it back: "Did the appointment arrive, or is there something else?"
"The commander-in-chief will tell you the truth, Brother Jiang Xian, your good days are coming." Vice Commander Bai patted him on the shoulder, as if he was a member of his family.
Xin Zhuo had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and wait until he met Commander Ma.
We arrived at a courtyard with an elegant environment. Four people stood in front of the courtyard door, three middle-aged women and Ma Ziyi, the commander-in-chief of Ma Da.
"Brother Jiang is here?"
With an unnatural and warm smile on her face, Ma Ziyi came forward to greet him and held her hands in greeting.
The last time we met, he was still condescending as a commander-in-chief. After more than a year of separation from "Wu Hai", when we met again, the status was reversed. Dad even mentioned it several times, asking him to respect Jiang Yuqing in the future, which made him It's hard not to sigh at the wonderful encounters in life, but a native like him in "Wu Hai" cannot go there!
"Young Master, you're welcome."
Xin Zhuo returned the favor and glanced at the three middle-aged women. The eyes of these three women were very fiery. What did they mean?
"Go in, the commander-in-chief is waiting." Vice-commander Bai on the side urged with a smile.
The group of people entered the living room, where a table of delicious food and wine had been placed. It was a dazzling array of food and drink that made people want to eat. Compared with what Miss Gege had done, it was like heaven and earth.
Commander Ma was sitting in the main seat with a serious look on his face, motioning for everyone to sit down.
Xin Zhuo chose a corner to sit, and everyone sat down separately. There was only one empty stool some distance away from Xin Zhuo, and no one poured wine quickly.
Then Commander Ma coughed lightly: "Li'er!"
A woman wearing a jingle ring in the side hall quickly walked out. She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a white skirt decorated with gold and jade. Her face was deliberately dressed up, making her look very delicate and handsome. She glanced at Xin Zhuo and her face turned red. , lowered his head and sat next to Xin Zhuo, then took a cautious peek and lowered his head again.
"How old is my nephew this year?" Ma Datong asked aloud.
Nephew? A few days ago I was still a good brother, now I am downgraded?
Xin Zhuo still replied: "Almost twenty-one years old!"
"Twenty-one is great!"
A woman kept looking at Xin Zhuo and said with a smile: "All of these people from outside are good at beauty. They look young, but in fact they are all seventy or eighty years old. My nephew is twenty-one years old. Handsome, really good."
Xin Zhuo frowned slightly, something was not right about the atmosphere.
Commander Ma asked again: Are you secretly married to Jing Ling? Are you already a couple? "
Xin Zhuo chuckled lightly and told the truth: "That's not true. I'm just a friend of Paoze, the Commander-in-Chief... If you have anything to say, we might as well say it directly!"
"Okay! I like cheerful people!" Commander Ma considered it for a moment, pointed to the woman next to Xin Zhuo and said, "This is my little girl Ma Li'er, betrothed to you, and we will get married tomorrow!"
Everyone stared at Xin Zhuo's face for a moment. Even the woman next to him had the courage to reach out under the table, grab Xin Zhuo's wrist, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Brother Jiang, I know... very obedient!"
Xin Zhuo glanced at Ma Li'er in surprise, and then looked at Commander Ma. To tell the truth, a person in trouble has no interest in the love between his children. He said in a deep voice: "If the Commander-in-Chief is not interested in the love between his children before he entered the sea, Promise is unnecessary, I have no intention of taking advantage of others' danger."
The eagerness disappeared from the faces of the group.
The atmosphere turned cold.
Ma Li'er's face paled a bit, and he quietly let go of his hand.
"There is no need to take advantage of others, this is my original intention!"
Commander Ma seemed to have a kind of sadness that was difficult to let go, and said: "The ten-year replacement date for the West Pole has arrived, and it's my turn to go. It's still uncertain whether I can come back this time. I left my wife and children here, and I need someone. Take care!
Nephew Jiang Xian has entered the martial arts world in one step. He is extremely talented, and he is so young. He has a bright future. I am going to ask for orders from the general's nest and recommend you to be the commander of the war city. I will betroth my daughter to you and become a relative. Please take care of me. My family is small, and it’s not a waste of time for you and me to get to know each other! "
Xin Zhuo's heart moved, and his mind was already focused on the land of the West Pole, and he asked: "When will the commander-in-chief go to the West Pole?"
Commander Ma sighed: "I was supposed to go last month, but I was delayed in Wuhai for too long. Xiji Xianni has been on the offensive in the past few months. The order has been received. I will set off in three days!"
Xin Zhuo smiled and pointed at Bai Sheng: "Deputy Commander Bai is well suited to be the commander-in-chief. It is not as good as Deputy Commander Bai..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Vice Commander Bai looking strange.
Commander Ma sighed again: "He also wants to go together!"
The smile on Xin Zhuo's face slowly faded, and he clasped his fists and said, "To be honest, I have long wanted to conquer the West and hone my martial arts. Why don't I go on behalf of the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief stays behind!"
The whole table was silent again.
After a while, Commander Ma laughed and said: "What do you mean by this? I am the person who was kissed by the general. I must go this time. How can you go on my behalf? I'm afraid you don't know the dangers of the West Pole!"
The number of those Immortal Rebels is really huge. After killing one wave after another, they are endless, like flies. Especially the people of Jindan and Nascent Soul are really difficult to deal with. Do you know what a magic weapon is? What are talisman swords, talisman treasures, and ideas? What is teleportation..."
I understand it so well, I can talk to you until next year, Xin Zhuo thought to himself.
He must go to the West Pole, where there is a way back and hope.
It's just that the commander-in-chief wants to stay alone, which is really troublesome.
"The Commander-in-Chief..."
…
It was already late at night when we returned to the courtyard.
The banquet naturally broke up unhappy. The commander's goal was not achieved, and Xin Zhuo's goal was not achieved. This was not a matter that could be negotiated on equal terms.
The house was dark, and the girl seemed to be asleep.
Xin Zhuo pushed open the door, and a figure suddenly rushed towards him. He made a gesture to fight back, and then stopped.
Girl Gege wanted to hug his neck as usual and enjoy the strange tenderness, but she couldn't help but stopped and rolled her hair around her ears. She was still so charming and slender, and just sighed softly: "You Are you going to marry the daughter of the commander-in-chief?"
"You know?" Xin Zhuo asked in surprise.
Girl Gege chuckled: "You haven't been out in the past few days. I don't know that the commander's wife and concubine and Miss Li'er have walked back and forth outside our courtyard several times. You don't need to guess, you can know what they are thinking!"
Xin Zhuo sat cross-legged on the side, looked at Miss Gege's face, and said seriously: "Are you tired of thinking about going out?"
Girl Gege smiled sadly and said: "I have searched through the classics of Tianya Hall in the past three days and met many old soldiers in the camp. I found that no one has ever gone out. I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of this place. You know the martial arts A prosperous age?"
Xin Zhuo nodded: "What does being unable to get out have to do with the prosperity of martial arts?"
Girl Gege said: "Yes! The land of the Sea of Bitterness is called the Golden Age of Ten Thousand Martial Arts. It is said that it is different from all previous martial arts flourishing ages. The color of the sky and the earth changes, and the sun and moon lose light. It is easy to enter this land of the Sea of Bitterness, but the way out has long been blocked! "
】
Xin Zhuo frowned.
Girl Gege added: "I like this small courtyard very much. If I can't get out, I would like to spend the rest of my life here. Are you... willing to accompany me?"
"I'm angry!"
Xin Zhuo waved his sleeves, "You are a swordsman, and you should have the ambition to be an unyielding king. If you are determined to die in difficult circumstances, what is the meaning of life?"
Girl Gege looked at him infatuatedly, and finally sighed with relief: "I understand!"
