Chapter 509: The Teacher Returns to the County
time flies.
Three days flew by.
The seventh prince's army heading to the county capital also gathered together in the early morning of the fourth day and began to travel.
Xu Qing, the captain, and Kong Xianglong were all in the crowd.
As the army moved forward and gradually moved away from the defense line, Xu Qing looked back to the northwest in the army.
In the past two months, he has experienced a lot of things here and seen too much life and death.
In the silence at this moment, there were many monks looking to the northwest like him. Most of these people were sword holders from Fenghai County.
.
After a long time, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked ahead at the four-clawed golden dragon surrounded by hundreds of black dragons between heaven and earth.
dragon.
Among the clouds and mist, even if only a little bit of its huge body is exposed, it gives people a sense of sanctity, not to mention
In the Luan Jia on the body, there is a sitting figure.
Compared with this noble person who is above the nine heavens, everyone on the earth, including Xu Qing, is as small as clouds and mud.
Insignificant.
Xu Qing remembered what the teacher once said when he was a child in the slums.
"What is a big shot? It's actually very simple. When you look up in the crowd, you can clearly see him and remember him.
Because in your eyes, whether you like it or not, he is the only one.
And his eyes scanned the crowd, but he couldn't see you clearly and couldn't remember you in the vast crowd. Then, he is an adult.
Things.
"So, when did you do it? When the city lord passed by us, he paid special attention to you and paid attention to
You, then you kid can be considered a big shot. "
Xu Qing remembered these words very clearly at the time. After that, the god's broken face opened his eyes, and he sneaked into the city lord's mansion to search for cultivation techniques.
At that time, he did indeed achieve the goal of making the city lord who was still staring at the corpse, his own body reflected in the godless and dim pupils.
film.
At this moment, he glanced at the seventh prince in the clouds, withdrew his gaze, and followed the army forward with an expressionless face.
A few hours later, the army arrived at the large teleportation array that had been built. During the continuous teleportation, Xu Qing's figure appeared.
Together with his comrades around him, he disappeared in the shining sea of light.
When he appeared, he was already outside the familiar county capital after two months of absence.
Not all armies can enter the county capital.
Xu Qing and many sergeants could only wait on the ground around the county capital city.
Only a few were qualified to accompany the seventh prince and be transported to the county capital.
Standing on the land of the county capital, Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the county capital above. When he heard the sound coming from that familiar capital,
huge cheers.
The sound was deafening, echoing around the world.
The sky exudes auspicious colorful rays of light, and the three major palaces release bright lights as a foil.
In the county capital city that Xu Qing could not see, all the houses were hung with colorful ribbons for sale, and a line was passed directly from the county governor's house.
The street where the formation was sent was renamed Prince Road.
This street was decorated with lanterns and colorful flowers, and countless human races greeted them on both sides. The cheers spread throughout the eight countries.
square.
"Victory!
"Victory!
"Victory!
When the gongs and drums were noisy, and everyone was celebrating, the county magistrate led a group of people in the county capital, including the near immortal tribe and the holy demon tribe, to return
There were many foreign ancestors who bowed respectfully at the moment when the formation shone and the figure of the seventh prince appeared.
"Meet the Seventh Prince!"
In the sky, the four-clawed golden dragon swallowed red clouds, and the light shone extremely brightly. On the earth, the seventh prince walked out with a smile.
, facing everyone.
Suddenly, the noise reached its peak.
But all this has nothing to do with Xu Qing.
Xu Qing stood silently in the army outside the county capital, listening to all this.
It was not until a long time ago that Taoist decrees were introduced into the army, allowing the imperial army to camp on the spot and move on their own, while the original western theater
The sword holder finally waited for the order to return to freedom.
Thereafter, they do not need to go to the battlefield except at certain times.
This order came from the county magistrate and the deputy palace master of the Sword Holding Palace. Under their entreaties, the prince's thoughts on the sword holder were not easy, and he felt deeply moved.
White charter.
Xu Qing left the army and returned directly to his sword pavilion without going anywhere.
The moment he stepped in, he didn't take off his armor, nor did he meditate. Instead, he lay on the bed and fell asleep instantly.
I slept until dusk the next day.
The moment he woke up, there was already a large amount of information in his jade slip and command sword.
Because jade slips are not allowed to transmit information on the battlefield and are blocked, only after returning to the county capital can jade slips be exchanged with each other.
Simple communication.
"Xu Qing, I couldn't contact you before. It wasn't until I saw your senior brother today that I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that you didn't
thing. Old man, I went back with the Wood Spirit Tribe first. The place in the county capital is a little different from what we thought before. This - Zhan Wood Spirit
The clan suffered serious damage in the battle, and I also narrowly escaped death... You can go back to the Wood Spirit Tribe when you have time, Ling'er is about to wake up. 》{14]
This is the old man from Banquan Road.
"Xu Qing, wake up and drink with me."
This is Kong Xianglong.
"Junior brother, tell me when you wake up and I will come to you to get the Tao Fruit."
This is the captain.
"Xu Shuling, you have to be careful. I received information in the county that the foreigners who were frightened by you have been killed.
, saying that you undermined the unity of Fenghai County. Although the matter was suppressed by the county magistrate, you should also pay attention. "
This is youth.
Xu Qing simply replied a few words, put down the jade slip, stretched, took off his armor, and waved his hand.
Countless rain and mist gathered all over the body and quickly cleaned the body.
The reason why there was no cleaning up on the battlefield was that it was meaningless on the one hand, and on the other hand the thick smoke and the smell of death invaded.
Well, in such an environment, unless you are a mysophobic, you will not repeat this action all the time.
At this moment, after cleaning, Xu Qing put on a new Taoist robe, and the captain, who looked brand new, came out with expectation.
Come.
"Half for each person." Xu Qing said calmly.
The captain suddenly became very happy.
"That's enough, haha. I can finally redeem the Daogu Fengzheng Order. Little Aqing, let me tell you, I will come to the county to sell
All the hard work and effort to gain military merit are for this!"
Satisfied, the captain put the storage bag into his arms, his eyes fell on Xu Qing, and he spoke with a smile.
"Little Ah Qing, do you want to exchange it for a life lamp? Daoguo's military exploits are enough, and his military exploits have also been decentralized. You
Look how many battle merits you have obtained? I have four fifth-level battle merits and two third-level merits!"
Hearing this, Xu Qing took out his command sword and checked it.
"Xu Qing, the sword holder, was certified by the Sword Holder Palace and verified by the Military Discipline Department. In the battle of Fenghai County, he won the second-level military merit - times.
There are four times of third-level military merit, seven times of fourth-level military merit, and eleven times of fifth-level military merit. "
Xu Qing was stunned, he didn't expect so much.
"Haha, it's quite a lot. I heard that the deputy palace master of the Sword Holding Palace personally submitted it. Basically everyone has it.
The captain smiled and spoke, then looked around and spoke in a low voice.
"You should go to bed as soon as you come back. Let me tell you, little Aqing, from yesterday to now, a lot of things have happened. Seven Emperors
After the arrival of the emperor, the layout of the county capital has changed. "
"Three of his generals, including the Palace of Swords, the Palace of Fengxing, and the Palace of Silu, serve as palace lords."
"There are also four great elders of the Sword-holding Court who have been recorded for their faults, and so have we in Yinghuang Province. There are many reasons, including
One thing is that the prisoner was lost. That girl Youjing actually did not hesitate to be seriously injured on the battlefield, even if her cultivation level fell, she forced her way away.
Shackles, took advantage of the chaos to escape. "
"There are also the Near Immortal Tribe and the Holy Demon Tribe. The two tribes and the Human Tribe changed their covenant identities. I don't know what tricks the Seventh Prince used.
For a period of one day, they volunteered to become the dependent clan of the human race in Fenghai County. "
"In addition, more than 400 foreign tribes have chosen to increase their annual tribute and hand over their military power."
"Stop talking, I'm going to exchange something. By the way, little Aqing, the county magistrate has already informed me that a county funeral will be held tomorrow.
Governor Mo, the three palace masters who died in the battle, and all the sacrificed soldiers. "
Xu Qing watched the captain go away. He stood outside the sword pavilion and looked around. The county capital that he was obviously familiar with now became vague.
Something strange.
Everything is different.
Xu Qing suddenly missed Qixuetong and his master.
After a while, he bought a few bottles of wine in the county capital and went to Kong Xianglong's sword pavilion.
Kong Xianglong was drinking alone. After seeing Xu Qing, he tried to smile, but he couldn't. In the end,
Pick up the jug and drink it all in one gulp.
Xu Qing stood by silently, drinking with Kong Xianglong, and neither of them spoke.
Until the night passed and the sky outside showed a glimmer of light, Xu Qing spoke softly.
"Brother Kong, the county funeral is about to begin.
Kong Xianglong raised his head silently, and for a long time, he spoke in a low voice.
"Xu Qing, wait for me outside.
Xu Qing nodded and walked out of the sword pavilion.
Not long after, when the door of Jiange was opened and Kong Xianglong walked out, there was no stubble on his face;
No more alcohol.
The neat white sword-wielding Taoist robe made him vaguely feel like he had returned to a time before the war.
"The old man has never allowed me to call him grandfather, and I am too lazy to call him. Since I was a child, I have always lived alone.
Kong Xianglong spoke softly.
"But... this old man is a stern man. If his spirit in heaven had seen me so drunk before,
, he probably has to look like he’s scolding again with a straight face. Although he can’t reprimand him now, it still makes him happy.
Some. "
"Do you think so, Xu Qing?" Kong Xianglong looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing nodded slightly.
Kong Xianglong took a deep breath and walked forward.
Xu Qing and him left the sword pavilion together. As the bells of the county capital echoed, the sound filled the air throughout the county capital.
At a moment of solemnity, they arrived at the county capital and...right in front of the statue of Ancient Emperor Xuanyou.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of monks were standing there.
The Sword-holding Palace, the Fengxing Palace, the Silu Palace, and the county monks are all included.
There are more figures arriving rapidly from all directions. Some of them have missing limbs, some are injured, and some have eyesight.
The eyes are red, and some are depressed with sadness and anger.
They are all monks who survived hundreds of battles in the western war zone.
On the ground, the imperial army walked out, bowing their heads in silence.
In the capital, every household instinctively walked out. Men, women, old and young, silently looked at the statue of the ancient emperor Xuanyou.
At this moment, on the northwest front, all the monks and sword holders from Fenghai County who had not returned put down everything and faced
Looking towards the county capital, his expression was filled with infinite sadness.
The human sects who had served in the Western War Zone and returned to various states were all ringing their sect bells at this moment, echoing in every state.
, echoing in all directions, echoing around heaven and earth.
All counties are in mourning together.
