Nightfall Chapter 15: Road encounter


The black horse-drawn carriage followed the convoy ahead. When it was approaching a county town, there were more buildings on both sides of the official road. Ning Que still liked the scenery of the countryside, so he let the big dark horse get off the official road and drove a little narrower. But the county road is still level, anyway, he is confident that he will not lose the previous mission.

The idyllic scenery on both sides of the county road is even more beautiful, still retaining some primitive and simple flavor. I don't know how long I drove. Looking at the village ahead, the black carriage stopped under a big tree outside the village.

I don’t know what kind of tree it is. The canopy area is huge, and the green leaves are luxuriant, just like a big umbrella, blocking the blazing sun and casting shades.

Ning Que unlocked the **** horse and let it play and relax. He walked under the big green tree and touched the thick bark with a happy smile on his face.

The students in the academy do not like going out because they care more about their spiritual realm. Pure spiritual happiness is enough to make them feel fulfilled, but he is different.

He has lived in Minshan since he was a child, and the forests are as familiar to him as home, and he has become a habit of wandering since he was a child, so he doesn't like staying in one place for a long time.

He has stood in the mountains and looked at the smoking villages in the distance countless times, and has left Sangsang on his back because of fear countless times. It is probably because of this that he is extremely fascinated by these rural scenery. Before returning to Chang'an City in 2016, he chose to take Sangsang's hand through the countryside because of this mentality. At this time, he chose a remote county road and stopped outside the village for this reason.

Sangsang got out of the carriage, looked at him and said shyly: "I fell asleep earlier."

Ning Que said: "It's so comfortable, I want to sleep well."

Sangsang obviously hasn’t adapted to her role change. She is habitual to think that she is still a little maid, and she just goes to sleep when she thinks about herself. It’s really a bit unreasonable to make up for this mistake, she tries to remember The last sentence I heard before I fell asleep, asked: "How funny?"

Ning Que was stunned, only to realize that she was answering her own question an hour ago. She couldn't help but want to laugh. Seeing the serious look on her face, but not wanting to discourage her enthusiasm, she replied: "Before leaving Chang'an City Chen Qi came to me specifically to talk. He said that this general Xian had also been in the Yulong Gang for a while in his early years, and he had a good relationship with Chao Xiaoshu. In his early years, he was even in Qi Si. Before, they just didn’t know why General Xian became a general, but Chao Xiaoshu still lived in Chunfeng Pavilion."

"You mean this person has a problem?" Sangsang asked.

Only Ning Que can understand what Sangsang said. When she said that a person has a problem, it does not mean that the person needs to be suspected or what should be vigilant, but that the person is not good.

Ning Que shook his head and said: "Even if there is a problem, it is the arrangement made by His Majesty the Emperor. Even if he is really like the rumors in Chang'an, his determination to the northeast army can only show that he has the pride and confidence that a soldier deserves. Ambitious, the emperor is not in a hurry to eunuchs, not to be anxious, let alone us.

Sangsang said: "I heard that the empress is very upset."

Ning Que said: “Don’t forget that your majesty is also a teacher’s student, which is equivalent to saying that he is my brother. He is a truly wise person. How can such a person really treat the country’s major affairs as housework but use it? The queen’s anger took advantage of the trend to warn some people."

Sangsang asked curiously: "Who?"

Because in fact she is not curious about these things, so she opened her eyes wide at this time and looked very curious, very deliberate, very childish, so very cute.

So Ning Que kissed her little cheek.

Sangsang was a little embarrassed but didn't avoid it.

She didn't evade, not because she was flustered and at a loss, but because she thought she was being kissed by Ning Que, it was a matter of course, so you should kiss.

Looking at the little girl’s bright eyes, Ning Que coughed a little flusteredly, and then continued: “Naturally suppressing General Xian...No, to be more precise, your majesty is warning his daughter not to hold hands. It stretches too deep into the army."

"Why? Is your majesty going to pass the throne to the queen's son?"

Sangsang asked curiously. This time she was really curious, because Li Yu was one of her few friends in Chang'an, and because she knew that this matter had something to do with Ning Que.

Ning Que said: "I don't know, it doesn't matter to us anyway."

Said it doesn't matter, it still matters after all, otherwise how could he think about these issues, just like the girls with red sleeves in the missions more than a dozen miles away, they also need to be considered by him.

Everyone did not ask Jane to take care of those girls along the way, but with the relationship between him and the red sleeves, if something really happened, he would not be able to ignore it, except for the interaction between each other, and more importantly, The college naturally has the responsibility to take care of the red sleeves. Thirty years ago, the woman named Xiaoxiao was the fiancée of the little uncle, and almost became their little sister and aunt, and the relative sister of Jane.

Twenty years ago, Hong Xiuzhao's last performance abroad was when he was invited to participate in the Yulan Festival in Lanke Temple. It was also at that Yulan Festival that their little teacher and aunt were fragrant Perish, now after more than 20 years, the red sleeve trick will appear in Lanke Temple again, how can Ning Que not be vigilant?

At this moment, Ning Que suddenly felt that someone was approaching, so he raised his brow slightly and looked towards the tree, only to see a black shadow rushing towards this side like lightning.

With his eyesight, he can of course see that the dark shadow is the big dark horse. What makes him wary is what happened to make the big dark horse appear so flustered.

Be aware that apart from the natural disaster a dozen years ago, the public security of Datang has always been good. Ning Que is not worried about his safety, and even if there are rare thieves, he doesn’t mind being violent. An Geliang, make a name for the academy, even if there are practitioners.

First defeated Guanhai and then killed Dao Shi, slashed Liu Yiqing, until the incredible victory over Xiahou, someone's strength was confirmed countless times. Although Wang Jinglue could not be convinced, there is a consensus in the spiritual world today that Ning Que, the thirteenth master of the academy, is the first one who is truly the one who knows fate

What's more, there is Sangsang, the successor of the great priest of light, and Ning Que is in hand, even daring to fight head-on with the great practitioner who knows his fate. Of course, those major practitioners who have entered the Realm of Knowing Fate must be very clear about the identity and background of him and Sangsang, who will provoke the Academy and Xiling Temple at the same time.

The big dark horse ran back to Ning Que's side, leaving behind a trail of smoke and dust, panting constantly, appearing extremely panicked.

Ning Que looked at the smoke and dust place solemnly.

The smoke gradually dispersed, and a shirtless man was holding a pitchfork, yelling and rushing over.

"The thief is running! See if I can't kill you!"

The matter was quickly explained. It turned out that the big dark horse was walking around, smelling the fragrance of the village in front of him, unable to control his mind, followed the smell, ran outside the window of the house, put his head in the window, and stole the farm’s food. The meal was then discovered by the owner of the farmer, which led to this chase.

Ning Que glared at the big dark horse fiercely, thinking that you are a really worthless idiot. Master, I am going to make up for you with the yellow spirit fruit every day, and I actually want to steal other people's food! And it was so terrified that a farmer was chased with a pitchfork, panting and dying?

The big dark horse lowered his head in shame, looking very honest, thinking silently in his heart that it was his own fault not to hold back stealing food. If you don't show a little embarrassment, who knows how you will deal with it.

Ning Que looked at the farmer and apologized with a wry smile.

The farmer was holding a pitchfork and leaning on his waist. He was really exhausted and panting. He said: "This guy runs so fast, he is really a good horse! No wonder I made a pot of porridge and got caught I swallowed it in one bite!"

Ning Que heard that the big dark horse was eating a pot of porridge, and felt embarrassed and lost it to his hometown. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not much better to be accustomed to being lazy."

Hearing this, the farmer shook his head in disapproval, and said: "I was in the cavalry camp, but I had never seen anything better than it, even the general's mount was not as good as it."

Datang implements a three-year recruiting system. To open up the territory, the army is not small in size, coupled with the folk customs and martial arts, so many men have experience in the army. Listening to this, I know that this farmer was originally from the army. Ning Que didn't feel surprised when he retired. He took out the money from his arms and handed it over, saying, "This lunch is the porridge money for the pot of porridge. The pot must be dirty, so it is counted in it."

The farmer waved his hand unconsciously and said: "I looked at the horse Shenjun from the window. I guessed that there should be a master, so I came to see if I was so short of money."

Ning Que said with a smile: "If you don't miss this little porridge, why should you come after it?"

Of course, the farmer said: "That's because you have a good ecological degree. If your attitude is a little negligent, then I will not only pay for the porridge, but also the wages for the porridge."

This kind of naturalization is common in academies and in the Tang Dynasty. Ning Que likes this kind of naturalization very much, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, I won't make false claims with you."

The farmer looked at the black carriage and Sangsang in the maid’s uniform, guessing that they were taking a break here, and inviting: "It’s not convenient to talk here. Go to my house and talk."

Ning Que is good at dealing with people and also likes the farmer's temperament, but in his bones he is still the indifferent boy back then, so he wanted to decline.

Unexpectedly, the farmer insisted again and again, saying: "Since you are running a long distance, you have to always have clean water. If you care, you can give me money when you leave."

Ning Que still wanted to refuse.

The farmer looked at him and frowned and said: "I know you look like you, and you know that you are also a person who has stayed in the barracks. How do you do things like this.

Ning Que looked at the perseverance between the farmer's eyebrows, and suddenly thought of Weicheng, which had been gone for a long time, of those soldiers in Weicheng, and the three words he left to General Ma before leaving.

"Go there." He smiled and said, "But I still have to drink."

The farmer laughed and said: "The home-brewed rice wine, no matter it is good, but it is enough."

(Wish everyone a happy weekend.) (to be continued)
