Money in the heavens

In Weicheng, the original yellow city walls and desolate desert scene have undergone earth-shaking changes.

At this time, Weicheng was full of vitality, with green grass swaying between the city walls and streets.

Under the command of Ma Shixiang, Tang soldiers stood nervously on the city wall, looking into the distance warily.

Great changes occurred in Weicheng. As a general, Ma Shixiang and the soldiers in the city could not turn a blind eye.

Such big changes can only be accomplished by legendary powerful practitioners. Therefore, they knew that powerful practitioners came near Weicheng and came to the border of Tang State.

As the border guards of the Tang Kingdom, their most important thing was to protect the border. Even if the person coming was a great practitioner who could change the world, they would have to step over their corpses before they could enter the Tang Kingdom.

Ma Shixiang looked nervously at the carriages that appeared in the distance, watching them slowly coming towards Weicheng. The knife in his hand tightened and tightened, and the sweat on his forehead slowly dripped.

However, when he saw the fair-skinned, handsome and familiar face beside the carriage from a distance, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes showed unstoppable longing and surprise.

He knew the boy who was still a pretty boy after living in Weicheng for so many years. That was Ning Que who followed Princess Li Yu's motorcade to the Tang Kingdom last year with a document from the military department.

Since Ning Que was in the convoy, it meant that the practitioners who came were not enemies, but practitioners from the Tang State. ♜ ♦ ♗♦

As for whether Ning Que would surrender and lead people to attack Weicheng, Ma Shixiang would never have such an idea in his mind. He understood Ning Que and the obsession in Ning Que's heart.

Ning Que might lower his bottom line in order to survive, but he would never betray Tang and bring cultivators from the enemy country to attack the city.

Arriving in front of Weicheng, Ning Que suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart and shouted loudly:

"Old Ma, I would rather return home without clothes!"

A loud shout revealed Ning Que's feelings for this small frontier town. Although he had left Chang'an City and lived in the Minshan Mountains for a period of time, in Ning Que's heart, this place was located in the desolate frontier town. The small town on earth is my hometown.

And the general in the city who was called "General" by the soldiers was now the only relative in Ning Que's heart besides the people in the academy and Sangsang.

When Ning Que was in the most difficult time, this small town general played the role of Ning Que's father, giving Ning Que something to rely on and preventing him from becoming extreme due to various painful experiences.

Therefore, this small frontier town and the generals in the city have a very special place in Ning Que's heart.

A voice that he had not heard for two years rang in his ears. Ma Shixiang's eyes couldn't help but become a little moist. He shook his arms vigorously and cursed with a smile:

"You brat, you're about to go to heaven as soon as you come back!"

Ning Que said with an unconvinced smile:

"Old Ma, I am now the thirteenth gentleman of the academy. If you act like this, I will punish you with disrespect! Jie Jie Jie!"

As he spoke, he laughed arrogantly, as if he was arrogant when he got his way.

However, Ke Haoran and Li Manman both looked at Ning Que's arrogance with smiles, without any feeling of inappropriateness; Ma Shixiang did not have any emotions because of Ning Que's arrogance and "threat".

The three of them were Ning Que's elders. Not only did they not criticize Ning Que for his lack of etiquette, but they showed distress on their faces.

Because only at this moment could Ning Que freely release his emotions.

Ning Que had been through too much hardship these past years, and during the two years in Chang'an City, due to his obsession with revenge and his lack of strength, Ning Que had been suppressing his emotions.

Now that he has returned to Weicheng, to the small town Zhizong that he loves so much, Ning Que's mood has suddenly improved greatly, and at the same time he has gained a lot more insights.

As Ning Que walked towards Weicheng step by step, his aura also improved. When Ning Que stood under the gate of Weicheng, he was already a Talisman Master at the peak of Dongxuan, and he was only a few steps away from the realm of knowing fate. One step away.

It can be said that Ning Que is now the practitioner closest to the realm of knowing fate. As for Long Qing, who is half-stepped into knowing fate, he has obsessions and cannot recognize himself, so he almost cut off his path to the realm of knowing fate.

Now, all Ning Que has left is the accumulation of knowledge and the best opportunity.

Seeing Ning Que's arrival, even the bookworm Mo Shanshan was somewhat impressed and said:

"As expected of the Thirteenth Disciple selected by Master, he has gone from an ordinary person to the peak of Dongxuan Realm in just two years, and has even caught up with Long Qing, the Son of Light who was carefully cultivated by Xiling! Master, you really have a good eye. ! The quality of education in the academy is truly amazing! ”

Li Manman and Ke Haoran looked at each other and smiled, but they were not proud of it.

After all, although the academy disciples are strong, the bookworms Mo Shanshan and Zhuoer trained by the owner of the Shang Building are not weak at all, and they both have the qualifications to break through the five realms.

Even Situ Yilan, who had just entered the practice, made rapid progress after mastering some drow methods, and was not far from the Dongxuan realm.

Naturally, they would not despise the inscrutable nature of the commercial building owner.

Having said all that, they were finally heading into the city, although as practitioners they could still keep on going. But Jian Xiaoxiao, who has not yet entered the path of spiritual practice, is somewhat powerless.

Therefore, they also rested in Weicheng for a few days.

If it were usual, they might have left Weicheng early, but now not only Ning Que has a special feeling for Weicheng, but also after experiencing Ye Su's sword of warmth in the world, Weicheng can be said to be a beautiful woman of Feng Shui.

Living here can be nourished by the water and soil here. For practitioners, they can feel the meaning of the Tao left by Ye Su, and for ordinary people, it can also strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.

It can be imagined that Weicheng will become much more lively in the future, and the grassland will covet Weicheng more strongly, and even go to war for it.

Ma Shixiang and others can naturally guess such things, but as Tang people and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they will not retreat, even if they die on the battlefield and bury their bones in the frontier. It is their responsibility and their belief to guard the border of the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the faith and blood of these soldiers and generals that they can fight on the frontier year after year and day after day without seeking promotion of official rank.

Zhuo Er suddenly said sarcastically when he was talking with Ma Shixiang about the defense of Weicheng:

"Now that the environment of Weicheng has changed greatly, it is not only a miracle left by the Taoist saints, but also can prolong life. Those officials may rush to Weicheng.

When the Weicheng garrison increases, I don't know if they can still ensure the peace of the border of the Tang Dynasty as before."

Zhuo Er's words immediately made Ma Shixiang fall into silence. He was not more clear about the darkness in the military than he was. It was because he did not have enough money to pay tribute that he was still a general in the border city when his military exploits were already sufficient.

Now that Weicheng has become a hot spot, there must be people with connections who will come to pick peaches. Even if he did not have a father-to-father relationship with Mr. Thirteen of the Academy, he, the original general, might be guilty of blocking the way of the nobleman because of his high prestige.

Ning Que, who had just come close, heard the words and said:

"Old Ma, don't worry! I will tell His Majesty about the things here after I return to Chang'an!"
