Chapter 458 Senior Sister and Junior Brother (Part [-])
As the queue moved forward, it turned into a long dragon that was hard to see at a glance. It took a full half an hour for the last soldier to disappear from sight.

On the side, the Anhe River is moving forward very slowly. There are many broken ice sheets floating on the river. This river will continue to run southeast until it enters the Changhai Sea.

During the period, it will pass through a very important place, Anjiang, where Song Zhiyi, the second son of Song Yingxiong, the former soldier of Cao Canjun, raised his army.

This "Prince" is not the current Li He, but the Xuanyan Emperor Li Shi before he succeeded to the throne.

The Song family is a very famous noble family in Anjiang, and has a high prestige in Anjiang. Song Zhiyi has made friends since he was a child. , has become a majestic force.

Hejing is far away from Anjiang by several deep mountains and ancient ridges, as well as Guide and Jinghe prefectures. It is said that it is far away, thousands of miles away, but it is said that it is only a few states away.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the empty long road with no people, and suddenly felt that Daqian Li's use of the word "flee" and "abandon" in his trip to Hejing this time was not as profound as the word "retire".

Originally the lord of the world, he took a back seat, and then gradually became equal to those separatist forces that are still standing in a row.

It's not impossible to regain the country, but it's too difficult.

It is easier to destroy than to rebuild. If you want to reunify the Central Plains, the obstacles you have to face are far greater than resisting foreign aggression and quelling civil strife.

Because of Li Qian's withdrawal, the vacated position of overlord will make more and more people want to compete. In the end, everyone who fights hard enough to be able to fight against the former overlord of the world will have terrible His ambition, determination, and ruthlessness were all obtained from the blood of thousands of corpses. That kind of ruthlessness is definitely not comparable to the members of the Li clan who have lived in peace for a long time and were born royal nobles.

"Dagan, it's gone." Xia Zhaoyi said, his voice was soft but heavy.

300 years ago, the ancestors of the Xia family came to Beijing together with Emperor Hongde, and won the first place in meritorious service.

Today, 300 years later, the members of the Li clan personally destroyed the Xia family who had made the most contribution and fought for Daqian, and let the Xia family die first in Daqian.

Those uncles and uncles that she didn't like very much in the past, all prospered and suffered together with the Xia family, and died tragically at the hands of the Li family.

Although Dagan is gone, Mrs. Li is still there.

eye for eye.

Xia Zhaoyi said with hatred in his heart.

……

……

The wing where Xia Zhaoyi lived temporarily was previously occupied by Li Ye, and it has been cleaned up.

The old man came back with Xia Zhaoyi, the courtyard was clean and bright, the snow was thick, and the whole area was flawless.

There were two more people on the snowy ground, Immortal Master Bailu was standing there with Zhili on his back.

Seeing the returning master and apprentice, Zhili jumped off Immortal Master Bailu's back and called out, "Master!"

He looked at the girl next to the old man who was shorter than him.

"This..." Zhili said in a daze, "My senior sister?"

No matter how you look at it, you are smaller than yourself.

"Junior Brother." Xia Zhaoyi called out.

The little boy was tall, that is to say, a boy of thirteen or fourteen would believe that although he was sick and his face was haggard and bloodless, he had a very active and lively face.

"Your second brother saved him," said the old man, "he has a serious wound on his shoulder now."

"Second brother saved it?" Xia Zhaoyi was surprised.

"Ah."

"So young...is he really a senior sister?" Standing beside Immortal Master Bailu, Zhili asked lightly and confused.

"Your master said yes, let's do it." Immortal Master Bailu said.

Zhili frowned, watching the girl approaching.

To be honest, the girl's outfit is actually very funny.

The clothes are very big and long, and the hair is messy, but it doesn't seem so funny to put on her.

Her eyes are too bright and clear, like mountains and rivers and peach streams, peaceful and dexterous, with an indescribable wisdom and calmness, which really doesn't match this age.

"Junior Brother." The girl laughed as she approached.

"Senior Sister, hello," Zhili said, "I met Senior Sister, is Senior Sister feeling better?"

Xia Zhaoyi shook her head, she really fell ill this time, and her body has been uncomfortable.

"I'm not well either," Zhili pointed at his wound, "We are both injured, and the one who worries most must be Master and his elders. Master, you have worked hard."

As he spoke, Zhili raised his hand and bowed deeply to the old man.

Xia Zhaoyi froze for a moment, then looked at Master.

The old man walked towards the house with a calm face and said, "I'm not old."

Zhili looked at the figure of the old man and frowned.

Didn't he do something wrong? Didn't the master tell him to talk as much as possible when he sent someone to look for him?

"Senior sister..." Zhili looked at Xia Zhaoyi.

"Come in." Xia Zhaoyi said with a faint smile.

Immortal Master Bailu didn't stay long, and after Fuzhili entered, he and the old man respectfully bid farewell.

The old man was standing in the small hall, mixing medicine, and said, "I'm sorry."

Zhili watched Immortal Master Bailu leave with the door, turned his gaze to Xia Zhaoyi who was beside him, and said, "Senior sister, in fact, Master doesn't like others to be respectful to him."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "It's not respect that Master doesn't like. Who wouldn't like someone who treats others with courtesy?"

"Huh?" Zhili was curious, "Then, what is it that Master doesn't like?"

"It's about dignity." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Zhili was stunned for a moment, and looked at the master in the small hall.

It turned out to be honor and humility.

He didn't know how to describe this feeling. It turns out that what Master rejects is not respect and politeness from others, but inferiority?

Xia Zhaoyi followed his gaze and looked at Master.

The old man was very tall, and his body was always strong. Unlike the old suzerain Pei, who was full of immortality and spirit, the master's clothes were casual, basically simple and concise.

Xia Zhaoyi's smile came to his eyes, and the smile on his eyebrows was more joyful than the shallow curvature of his lips.

It's great to be able to meet Master.

Master is still like this, lonely and arrogant, aloof and world-weary, and seldom smiles.

No, it should not be said to be world-weary.

Master actually loves this world very much, he loves the sun, moon and stars in the sky, the earth, mountains, rivers and fields.

What Master hates is the human world.

The three principles and the five constant principles, the three obediences and the four virtues, and other such respect and order will make the master disgusted.

Since childhood, Xia Zhaoyi has hardly bowed to anyone, including his father and master, because the master has never taught him.

At this time, the old man turned around with a tray full of bottles and cans.

Walking over to put the tray on the table, the old man sat down under the watchful eyes of the two apprentices.

"Let's talk about your second brother," the old man said, "Seeing your reaction, you probably know everything."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "Okay."
