Chapter 1078: In and Out (Part 2)

Chen Chao dispersed the crowd and only took Mao Jiacao and Xiao Du into the dilapidated courtyard.

No one had lived there for a long time. The courtyard was dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and even one wall had collapsed. There was a big hole above the house.

There was an old bamboo chair under the eaves.

Perhaps it won't be long before this courtyard will completely become a ruin.

But who would have thought that such an ordinary courtyard was actually the old house of the Northern General.

Xiao Du frowned and murmured, "Impossible, impossible!"

Chen Chao turned his head and glanced at the young man, and asked, "Impossible? What's impossible? Do you think that a general should have a house that is so big that it has no boundaries, and his house should be full of gold and silver?"

Xiao Du couldn't answer this question, but just murmured and shook his head, "But, but... He doesn't look like a general at all!"

When I walked in to pick up the kite, the old man was lying on the chair. How could he have the courage of a general who killed people like crazy?

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and said, "Why, you have to feel that you are not easy to mess with at first sight, that's what a great general does? In other words, you are not a demon, why do you look at you as if you want to eat you?"

After a pause, Chen Chao said softly, "What's more, when the great general retired and returned home, he knew that he would not live for a few days, so he wanted to return to his roots."

Xiao Hezheng devoted most of his life to the court and the people. When he finally left the northern border, he actually had less than half a year left.

He couldn't live out his life in peace, so he could only return home alive.

Mao Jiacao said softly, "Old man... the great general, you are too easy-going. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have asked the great general for money for those drinks."

Chen Chao looked at the bamboo chair under the eaves and said calmly, "The great general didn't think about any preferential treatment. He just wanted to prevent the demons from going south so that you don't have to worry about being eaten one day."

If you want to be an official and have power over the court, why go to the northern border?

Going to the north is so dangerous, and the bitter cold is so hard to endure. You don't want fame and fortune in this way.

"Miss Mao, I really want to ask you a question. If Wang Xi died in the north, would you stay single for the rest of your life?"

Chen Chao glanced at Mao Jiacao and suddenly asked this.

Mao Jiacao was about to answer, but Chen Chao shook his head, "In fact, the answer I want to hear is no. It's okay to like someone at the age of 20 and not be together. You can keep it in your heart and miss it, but don't let yourself after the age of 20 be unhappy for the rest of your life."

Chen Chao said, "He dared not come to see you, and he was also worried about this."

Mao Jiacao looked at Chen Chao and hesitated to ask, "Lord, the garrison commander... will he really die in the north?"

"I don't know."

Chen Chao came under the eaves and shook his head, "I don't know how serious the war in the north will be. But if there is a God, when the situation is so bad that he has to go to the north before he is ready, it means that many people have died. "

Mao Jiacao's eyes were a little dim, "Then... can we... win?"

Chen Chao glanced at the woman who was meeting for the first time and might be the last time in this life, and said: "Try your best."

Xiao Du, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "I also want to go to the north to kill monsters!"

Chen Chao looked at him and shook his head: "I hope there will be no such day."

Xiao Du didn't know what to say, so Chen Chao patted his shoulder and said, "Treasure the wooden sword."

Xiao Du nodded vigorously.

Chen Chao raised his head and looked at the sky. A stream of light passed over his head.

Mao Jiacao said: "These days, there have been such streams of light."

Chen Chao smiled and said nothing.

……

……

After Mao Jiacao and Xiao Du left, Chen Chao retracted his gaze, came under the eaves, and sat on the old bamboo chair.

Then the young garrison commander raised his head, looked at the roof, and said something from the heart, "General, although I am willing to die for my country, I am not sure of victory."

"If I really fail to defend it..."

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "If I fail to defend it, I will not have the face to see you."

...

...

After the war in the North Territory came to an end, many cultivators in the North Territory actually chose to go south and then return to the sect to have a look.

Leaving the sect and going north, and almost losing their lives in a battle in the North Territory, this will undoubtedly be a special experience, and it will naturally make them re-examine their lives.

The North Territory did not stop the large number of cultivators from going south for a short time. Instead, it held a farewell banquet for them before these cultivators went south.

Although there are a large number of cultivators going south, there are always exceptions.

There is a sect where no cultivators returned south.

...

...

Huanglongzhou, Sword Sect.

The rice in the small mountain village has been harvested these days. The farmers carry the rice back home and dry it in their yards.

Straw is twisted into simple scarecrows and piled in the paddy fields. Some half-grown children make appointments with others to catch loaches in the rice fields.

It's just that every once in a while, they will look up at the stream of light passing through the sky.

They don't know what the stream of light passing through the sky means, they just think it's beautiful.

And at the beginning of the stream of light, there is a cave.

The cave is surrounded by green vines and full of greenery.

A tall man has been sitting at the entrance of the cave since he came out of seclusion, holding a glass of water in his hand and looking at the light on the horizon.

This man's life is just like the white water in his hand, very dull and uninteresting.

So much so that when he wanted to recall some interesting things from his earlier years, he couldn't remember them at all.

It seems that all he has in his life is the sword.

After taking a sip of the water in the cup, before the man got up, he heard a voice from the front of the cave, "Sect Master, what's the point of drinking water? Come and drink!"

Following the words, someone threw a bottle of wine.

The master of the Sword Sect stretched out his hand to catch the pot of wine, and then looked down at the young great swordsman standing at the foot of the cave.

For a moment, the leader of the Sword Sect was actually in a trance, because he remembered that about a year or two ago, when he was about to leave the Sword Sect and go to the divine capital, that guy was standing there and told him that it was wrong to do so.

At that time, he was focused on realizing that perfect sword, so he didn't listen at all, but Yu Xiyi, who was not even a swordsman at that time, was so bold that he wanted to use the sword against him, the master of the sword sect.

This is a rare thing in the entire world, let alone in the Sword Sect.

But regardless of whether it was rare or not, the guy in front of him did it, and he did it very directly, even throwing his own life away without caring.

The leader of the Sword Sect shook the wine bottle in his hand, narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Xiyi in front of him, and asked, "Why are you back?"

Yu Xiyi did not hide it, but went straight to the point and said with a smile: "I used to wander around and went everywhere, but Jian Zong didn't even look at it. I just have time now, so I came back to take a look."

The leader of the Sword Sect asked: "Just a few glances?"

Yu Xiyi took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I hope it's not the last few glances."

The leader of the Sword Sect did not speak in a hurry, but just looked at the young man in front of him. In the same situation, he had been defeated twice in his life, once to Emperor Liang, and the other time to the young man in front of him.

The first time probably didn't mean much, but the last time was of great significance.

Because Yu Xiyi is also a sword cultivator.

The leader of the Sword Sect said calmly: "I originally intended to pass on the position of leader to you."

Yu Xiyi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Of course, it's hard to find someone more suitable than me for this Sword Sect, right?"

The leader of the Sword Sect said calmly: "You are not suitable for managing the Sword Sect, but to be a leader, you don't necessarily need to do these things. What you need is a strong enough realm and a decent enough person. You are very consistent with these two points."

"If you are tired of being the sect leader, you can naturally pass it on to me, but it depends on whether I can come back from the north."

While drinking, Yu Xiyi found a place to sit down and looked up at the master of the Sword Sect above.

The leader of the Sword Sect changed the topic and said: "I heard that Yun Jianyue has been in retreat these days, so she probably needs to take a step forward."

The meaning of what he said was very obvious, because in today's world, Chen Chao, Yu Xi, Yi Yun Jianyue and others have always been equally famous.

Yu Xiyi picked his ears and said with a smile: "It's mainly because I'm busy. I run around every day, otherwise I wouldn't necessarily be worse than him."

"Have you ever thought that a Fuyun Realm is more useful than a Wangyou End?"

The leader of the Sword Sect stared into Yu Xiyi's eyes in front of him. He absolutely believed that Yu Xiyi could reach that state, and it would not take much time.

Now is the time when wild flowers are in bloom.

Yu Xiyi scratched his head and said, "I just can't calm down, things are too big, and I always want to do something."

The leader of the Sword Sect didn't say anything. In fact, he understood very well that he and Yu Xiyi were like two extremes. He was indifferent to worldly affairs, while Yu Xiyi cared too much about worldly affairs.

"You are in the north, and you have experienced the first war personally. In your opinion, do you have a chance of winning the second war?"

The Sword Sect leader gave up his mind and asked about the matter in the North instead of asking about this.

Yu Xiyi rarely became serious. After being silent for a long time, he slowly shook his head and said: "It will be difficult to fight."

He has been in the north for so long, and he can feel that the atmosphere there is different from before.

"However, if the sect leader goes to the north to kill everyone, it would be best to kill the demon emperor with one sword, then things will be simple."

Yu Xiyi could only be serious for a moment before he turned into that careless person again.

The leader of the Sword Sect said: "These days, many people have gone to the north."

Every stream of light on the horizon is a sword cultivator.

According to the agreement with the imperial court, there is actually no need for so many sword cultivators to go north. This situation is just their own wish.

"As the last pure swordsmanship sect in the world, the Sword Sect has never cared about worldly affairs for so many years, but in just a dozen years, everyone seems to have changed."

The Sword Sect leader was a little confused.

Yu Xiyi shook his head and said solemnly: "It's not that it has changed, it's that the world was so bad in the past. No one saw hope, so they had to suppress their thoughts. But now that the world has improved, they have their reasons. "

It's like a weed that is suppressed by a stone and cannot be seen, but when the stone is removed, you can see that it has been working hard to grow.

The leader of the Sword Sect asked: "Has anyone from the Fuyun Realm gone to the Northern Realm?"

Yu Xiyi shook his head.

The leader of the Sword Sect stood up, took a sip of the wine that Yu Xiyi threw to him, and said, "Then I will be the first one."

Yu Xiyi was startled.

But before Yu Xiyi could speak, a strong sword light rose from the ground and swept towards the sky.

On this day, not only the sword cultivators of the Sword Sect, but also the people of the entire Huanglongzhou could see an extremely bright sword light, from south to north!
