That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 489

Xu Beiyou left Yanzhou Mansion and headed north all the way towards Danxia Village.

The reason why Danxia Village is called a village, not a mansion, is because this village is actually an important grain village under the name of the Northwest Army. At that time, the governor Xu Lin went to the northwest and built countless forts on the Xiheyuan, distributed according to the three lines , the pier is one ten miles away, facing each other in a row, and the beacons are connected to each other. Whenever there is a war, the smoke of war will rise in turn.There is a stockade a hundred miles away, and soldiers are stationed in it. If there is an enemy situation, they will move together.All the fortresses are scattered like a spider web, covering the entire Xiheyuan, and Danxia Village is located in the center of this web.

At the beginning, the Northeast Army marched straight into Xiheyuan and attacked Danxia Village in the starry night. After the fall of Danxia Village, the Northeast Army relied on it, step by step, and pulled out the forts one by one. After the three major battalions returned to the division, the Northeast Army still stood firm on this village, so the final decisive battle between the two sides took place in Danxia Village, which is why Xiao Zhinan and others went to Danxia Village to find the ancient battlefield.

There is no doubt that Danxia Village is a large military village, and it is not a problem to accommodate 10,000+ troops. As for the Xiaofang Village where Xu Beiyou and Han Xuan lived, it is a small village that cannot be smaller. It used to belong to the Zhaibao system A member of the village belongs to Danxia Village, and as the young and old in the village leave one after another, now only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled are left.

Although Xu Beiyou said that after losing his husband, this place is no longer home, but after all, he has lived in the place for 20 years, and he still can't let go of it completely, so he came back specially for a walk, and he didn't know if he came back next time when is it.

When he was about forty miles away from Danxia Village, Xu Beiyou was stopped by a group of horse thieves who had sneaked into Shanzhou from the grassland. Perhaps they saw Xu Beiyou wearing a fine suit and alone, so these horse thieves So I decided to make a deal by hand.

The leading horse thief is a one-eyed strong man. He looked Xu Beiyou up and down, and he saw that he came from a family that was either rich or noble. This made the one-eyed horse thief who had suffered a lot on the grassland a little red-eyed. Life is not easy, but I can only go to Shanzhou to fish for some oil and water, but this is the garrison of the Northwest Army after all, if one is accidentally targeted by the Northwest Cavalry Army, even if he does not die, his skin will peel off. I just met a fat sheep, as long as I made this one-ticket deal, and then went to the grassland to avoid the limelight, no matter where your family is from, can you still go to the vast grassland to find someone?
While the horse thief was looking at Xu Beiyou, Xu Beiyou was also observing the horse thief. Looking at the group of horse thieves with weathered faces, he suddenly remembered the days when he killed horse thieves on the grassland for practicing swords. During those days, Xu Beiyou killed the most Life, because he didn't kill the horse thief, the horse thief would kill him, life or death, and Xu Beiyou lived a very happy life, don't care about anything, what kind of sword sect, what kind of immortal, what kind of court princess, only one hand in his hand Sword, just kill all the way, heartily.

Those days ended with Xu Beiyou beheading the twelve wolf thieves. Looking back now, I really miss it.

Ever since he achieved success in cultivation, Xu Beiyou has warned himself to refrain from killing and control anger, so he never kills indiscriminately, only killing those who must be killed, and the horse thieves in front of him, whether it is the murderous aura all over their bodies or the blood on the blade They are all showing one thing, they are definitely not good stubble, they are all thugs with a lot of names on their hands, and they all deserve to die.

Although Xu Beiyou doesn't really like chivalry, but if he can remove a few disasters for his hometown, he still doesn't mind it.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his right hand, and a sword flew out from the sword box behind his back and landed in his palm.

Not the usual Tianlan, but Chi Lian who kills the most.

Chi Lian came out of the box, the killing intent was overwhelming, the mosquitoes hid, the birds scattered, and even the horses under the horse thief's seat began to be restless.

The leader of the horse thieves who had seen the world was terrified. Before he could react, Xu Beiyou slashed out with his sword lightly. The twenty or so horse thieves were wiped out in an instant, leaving nothing behind.

Xu Beiyou said softly to himself: "No wonder it's easy to not take human life seriously after reaching the realm of immortality. It's really no different from killing an ant like this."

This was just a small episode, so Xu Beiyou didn't take it seriously and continued on.

Soon Danxia Village was already in the distance, and there happened to be a caravan headed for Danxia Village under the guard of a group of swordsmen. Be careful.

There are about forty swordsmen guarding the caravan, half of them are young and middle-aged swordsmen, and the leader is a swordsman of no doubt age, with a weathered face and a layer of Heavyweight cotton.

When Xu Beiyou saw this swordsman, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he greeted loudly, "Brother Meng!"

The swordsman who was walking at the head of the entire caravan suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at this strange boy who was dressed in fancy clothes but walked on foot. More or less people will have a little impression, feel that this young man looks familiar, but can't remember where he met him, and the people he contacts on weekdays are either merchants or swordsmen, which is rare. A full-fledged son of an official family.

Xu Beiyou smiled and said, "Brother Meng doesn't remember me? I'm Xiao Xu from Xiaofangzhai. I went to Zhongdu two years ago, and you gave me a ride."

The swordsman surnamed Meng was stunned for a moment, pressed the handle of the knife and moved closer to Xu Beiyou, stared at it for a long time, and finally dared not believe it: "Is it really Xiao Fangzhai Xiao Xu?"

Xu Beiyou smiled and said, "Who else could it be if it wasn't me? It's only been two years, and Brother Meng can't recognize me. It's really a nobleman who forgets things."

The swordsman finally confirmed Xu Beiyou's identity, and said with a smile, "Lao Meng doesn't dare to be called a nobleman, but I see Brother Xu's attire, he is very rich."

Xu Beiyou smiled, "It's just a swollen face to pretend to be fat, not rich."

The swordsman surnamed Meng scrutinized Xu Beiyou for a moment, and said noncommittally, "Don't say anything else, just say that brother Xu's demeanor has nothing to do with slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat."

Xu Beiyou said: "Brother Meng also knows that I don't know who my ancestors are when I pee. I have been hanging around outside for the past two years. I got a lot of shit luck. I was spotted by a rich lady from a rich family and became his wife Although the cheap son-in-law saved some money, he didn’t work hard on his own after all, and it’s a bit embarrassing to say it, so I didn’t tell the truth, and I hope Brother Meng will forgive me.”

Only then did the swordsman surnamed Meng show a slight smile, "Anyway, brother Xu is returning home this time."

Xu Beiyou waved his hands and said with a smile: "Although he is someone's son-in-law, he is still a man with a foreign surname under the roof. He always works hard with his head bowed under the eaves. This time he is going to the imperial capital for business. When we get to Brother Meng, it’s time to go to the stockade for a drink, and I’ll treat you.”

The swordsman surnamed Meng is an old man with a lot of experience in the world, and he likes to form good relationships with others, and now that he has arrived in Danxia Village, he is not afraid of any other problems, and said with a loud smile: "What brother Xu said It can be said that you are coming back from the outside, how can you spend money, I have to ask Lao Meng to pay for the treat."

Xu Beiyou smiled, "Let's not talk about that, let's go to the village."

The swordsman surnamed Meng nodded and said, "Yes, let's go back to the village first."

Therefore, Xu Beiyou followed the caravan that sent him away from Danxia Village, and returned to Danxia Village again.
