Chapter sixty-eight when the light
Two strong horses, one behind the other, galloped on the bluestone road shrouded in the night.
When the world was still unified, the imperial court at that time spent a lot of national resources to build these bluestone roads in various places. Afterwards, although the world was in chaos and the heroes were divided, no matter the north or the south, whether it was the previous dynasty or the current Daliang, the officials at all levels still
Carefully repair and protect this bluestone road.
Because everyone knows that once these roads paved with bluestones are completely destroyed, the national power of today's imperial court cannot be restored.
Su Che only saw this section when he was browsing ancient books recently.
"Sir, let's rest the horses ahead. We are okay, but they can't bear to eat anymore."
Lu Bai shouted from behind, and Su Che slowly reined in the reins to let the powerful horse take a breather.
For Su Che and Lu Bai, they don't actually need war horses to travel. As long as they take steps, it is definitely not something ordinary horses can catch up with.
It's just that the current situation is special and it has to be like this.
Su Che looked up at the sky, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and swallowed the strands of moonlight into his belly to nourish his soul and five internal organs.
"How long have we been away from Shanyin County?"
Although the imperial decree has been issued to remove Shanyin County and merge it into Guobei County, there is no place that can be called Shanyin County, but Su Che still insists on using the place name Shanyin County.
"We set off from Shanyin County six days ago and passed through Dukou and Lingfang counties along the way. Tian'an County should be in front of us."
The two set out from Shanyin County and followed the traces of hungry ghosts and evil spirits all the way. The man did not remove the sword and the horse did not remove the saddle. The reason why they rode on the war horse was to hold their breath and not disturb the ghosts.
Lest they notice something is wrong and run away in advance.
Tianan.
Su Che looked at the long sword at his waist. The blade of the sword had broken into many holes under his own pressure.
"The third one."
He took off the ruined sword and threw it into the green grass beside the road.
"Master, you can use mine."
As Lu Bai spoke, he began to untie his sword. He admired this young officer more and more.
Along the way, he saw with his own eyes that Su Che tested the sword with a group of hungry ghosts, and his swordsmanship became stronger day by day.
What's even more rare is that this Shangguan never seems to care about resting. They rush to the place almost wherever there are hungry ghosts.
After taking action, he went straight to the next place without stopping.
"No need, I just want to take a rest."
Suche turned over and dismounted, letting the good horse take a rest.
"Only the core members of the Langya Wang family are qualified to use the red dragon flag just now. I don't know which nobleman is sitting in that car."
Lu Bai had a change of luck for a week and regained some strength.
King Langya, Chen Junxie, and Yingchuan Yu are all the largest families in Nanliang.
Compared with these high-ranking families, the Duling Wei family, who was born in Yongzhou martial arts, represented by Wei Huaiwen, is also inferior, not to mention the Duling Su family with a sparse population after the defeat of Fangtou?
"I think the person who will succeed Yu Yu as Cizhou Xingtai Censor Zhongcheng will be a member of the Langya Wang family?"
"These high-ranking officials always run faster than anyone else when something goes wrong. When something goes well, they appear out of nowhere and easily take away the credit."
Su Che closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
"Cizhou has no problems on the surface, but there is a fire burning underneath. No matter who sits on it, it will cause fire. They will not choose this time to come. Wait for others to clean up the troubles in the place, and kill those hungry ghosts.
The evil spirits have almost been killed, and that's when it's time for them to take over."
"But this is the past and current situation. I guess the people above have other plans."
Suche stood up and looked at the rising fireworks in the distance.
It was almost late at night and something was a little unusual.
Lu Bai adjusted his saddle and saddle: "We have seen several groups of Tiqi recently, and it seems they are all here to find us. Why do you avoid seeing them, Master?"
"I have read poetry and books since I was a child. I dare not say that I am powerful, but I feel that I have a clear vision and a bright mind."
Suche looked at Lu Bai behind him.
"What do you think of the imperial court's decree to abolish Shanyin County and merge it into Guobei County?"
"There should be a tacit understanding."
"Don't you think it's strange?"
"Um?"
"No one came to inform me about such a big thing."
"Let's set off for Guobei County first, and the order will come later."
"Oh, why bother deceiving yourself?"
Suche shook his head.
"Can such a big thing be decided overnight? Even if I don't know, Yu Zhen, Feng Bu, and the elder of my family, don't they know?"
There is another possibility, which Suche did not say explicitly. If this is true, then the matter will be even more complicated.
Perhaps the imperial court deliberately prevented people from Su Gong and Feng Buxing from knowing the relevant information.
Of course, what's worse is that they knew about Feng Buhang, but didn't tell themselves.
"Young Master means..."
"In their hearts, everyone can be sacrificed except themselves."
"I'll tell you what happens next."
"Those Tiqi came to me and asked me to return to Cizhou to take charge of the overall situation. Then I will probably be promoted to a higher position."
Suche stroked the horse's mane with his hand. It was soft and reminded him of a little fox.
"Then someone will come over, who should be Yu Zhen's successor, and make some false remarks, saying that the imperial court has a last resort, and that the top priority is to save the people."
"Then they will go on to imply that the current Holy One has become too old and too dim to make such a decision, which they do not agree with deep down in their hearts."
"The world is in chaos and the war is uneven. Your Majesty will one day control the guest. Once he dies, and when the crown prince or other prince comes to power, things will definitely change. Then it will be time for me to display my lifelong ambition."
"When the time comes, I will assist the new king to ascend the throne, and the seas and rivers in the world will be clear, and things will be good again."
Lu Bai looked at Su Che in front of him. This Master Li Xing suddenly made him feel a little strange.
"Lao Lu, you have worked hard these days. In fact, my initial thought was to go to hell, I won't play with you anymore."
Su Che looked at the sky above his head: "I have been thinking these past few days that since I have become a disciple of Huang Tiandao, sooner or later I will have to rely on my imagination to control the wind, travel around the world, and become one of the gods. Why should I keep playing with people like them?"
"But if you think about it carefully, what's the difference between immortals and mortals? Are there no superior gods in this scene?"
"Son."
"So we still have to have fun and make a name for ourselves."
Suche saw Lu Bai reciting a few words in his mouth.
"There was a sage in the past who once said that it is easier to remove thieves from the mountains but more difficult to remove thieves from the heart."
"What a wise saying."
"If you can't get rid of the thieves in your heart, then at least kill all the thieves in the mountains. Old Lu, let's go over and have a look."
"Go over and have a look."
Suche got on his horse and headed towards the place where the fireworks were rising.
The sound of horse hooves broke through the remaining night.
