That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 803 Xu Nan Returns South to Jiangdu

In the battle between monks, when the realm is low, life and death can still be separated, but the higher the realm, not only life and death, but even the outcome is difficult to tell in a short while. The two earth immortals fought for three days and three nights It's not uncommon for people to win or lose, just like Wanyan Beiyue and Murong Xuanyin, who fought so hard that the ground shook, but in the end both of them were safe.

Even if the winner is decided, it will be even more difficult to divide life and death. Unless the two are determined to fight to the death, none of these great monks has the means to save their lives, and they will always be able to lose their cultivation or lifespan. Escape from birth, it's hard to really kill.

When Xu Beiyou fought Liumian, Xu Beiyou had the upper hand, but it was not easy to kill Liumian, especially when surrounded by enemies.However, Xu Beiyou's back was soaked in blood at this time. It was a physical injury, which could be recovered within a few days of cultivation, but his six sides were actually damaged in practice.In general, Xu Beiyou took advantage.

Zhang Baisui appeared beside Xu Beiyou, and said in a deep voice: "Bingchen is coming, it is not suitable to stay here for long, go back to Jiangdu first."

Today's Xu Beiyou can be regarded as a good doctor after a long illness. After taking a general look inside, he knew his injury well, then nodded, and did not continue to fight.

Back in Jiangdu City, Xu Beiyou saw Xiao Zhinan. The husband and wife could not care about the tenderness of their long-lost reunion. Xu Beiyou listened to Xiao Zhinan's general account of many things that happened during the time he was away. He was silent for a long time, and then slowly opened his mouth and said: " Where is His Majesty? I want to see him."

Xiao Zhinan led him to the main hall where the spirit stopped, and saw the golden nanmu coffin containing the emperor Daxing.

The coffin is very large, fully in line with the identity of the emperor.Fortunately, Jiangdu was able to temporarily "make up" such a coffin. If it were replaced in other places, it would be difficult to find such a large amount of golden nanmu.

Xu Beiyou stood in the mourning hall and remained silent for a long time, then walked to the coffin and solemnly knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times.

The reason for this great gift is not because of the status of the emperor, but because he is the father of his wife, that's all.

After Xu Beiyou got up, he clenched his fists into his sleeves, did not look at Xiao Zhinan, but still kept his eyes on the coffin, "If I could come back sooner, your majesty would not die."

Xiao Zhinan shook his head and said: "There is no if, but if, if the father does not come to the south of the Yangtze River, if the father does not leave the imperial capital, then he will not die. Even if there is a magic medicine to bring the dead back to life in this world, there is no regret medicine that can be a 'if' .”

No if.

A sentence that Xu Beiyou didn't expect.

Xu Beiyou turned his head to look at his newlywed wife. Women from the Xiao family have never been simple. From the eldest princess who was born after marrying far away, to the eldest princess who became the last queen of Dazheng, to this princess who became his wife , all so.If a woman from an ordinary family loses her father, she must feel that the sky is about to fall, and her mind will be devastated. Coupled with the siege of the city by the chaos outside the city, there will naturally be chaos.But Xiao Zhinan showed a determination that was not inferior to men. After being entrusted by His Majesty with the heavy responsibility of "tuogu", he endured the pain of losing his father and sat in Zhenjiang Capital. Xu Beiyou, who had experienced the pain of bereavement, felt that he was not as good as Xiao Zhinan, even though he was now a great monk on the [-]th floor of the Earth Immortal, even if he could take over as the lord of the Sword Sect.

Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "It's not that I'm not sad, it's just that now is not the time to be sad. There are powerful enemies on the outside, and there are old and new inside. Now I can only do my best to fulfill the entrustment of the father, so that the father can go all the way with peace of mind. .”

Xu Beiyou hummed, then looked at Xie Suqing and Zhang Baisui, and asked, "What's the situation now? What's going on in the imperial capital?"

Zhang Baisui and Xie Suqing looked at each other, and Xie Suqing said: "After your Majesty passed away, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the imperial capital, and because of this, both the Wei State and the Grassland have already sent troops. Jiangnan, blocking the way back to the imperial capital."

Xu Beiyou thought for a while and said, "Can I or Mr. Ping An take His Majesty back to the imperial capital first?"

Zhang Baisui shook his head and said: "It can't be done, the great master Tianchen once said that sending Mount Tai is as light as a mustard seed, and it is difficult to get out of the world with a warrior. Pi Yi, except for manual transportation, it is useless to ride the wind, soar through the clouds and ride the sword, even if Qiu Ye is here, it is difficult to fly away thousands of miles with your majesty."

Xu Beiyou frowned, "In this case, we can only return to the imperial capital via the northwest."

Xiao Zhinan said: "It just so happens that you just walked there not long ago, and you are familiar with the route."

Xu Beiyou hummed, and said, "But give me three days first, and let's move after I recover from my injury."

Both Zhang Baisui and Xie Suqing had no objection to this, and after agreeing, they left separately, only Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan were left here.

When the two of them came out of the main hall and came to the outer courtyard, Xu Beiyou said softly, "Life and death are inevitable things."

Xiao Zhinan's eyes were slightly dazed, and he said softly: "Don't comfort me, I can think about it, everyone has their own suffering, this suffering is only known to you, don't cry, don't blame others, do what you should do, It is the best way to commemorate the deceased.”

Xiao Zhinan paused for a while, "It's just that when I think about the days to come, I will lose my mother and father, and my heart will be empty. So I will become a child without a father and a mother."

Xiao Zhinan looked up at the sky above his head, "The second time we met, it was in the palace of Shepherd Qi. At that time, your master was still alive. When we met again, it was Jiangnan. At that time, you were already alone, not far away from each other. After a long time, you seem to be a different person. At that time, I didn't quite understand why this happened, but now I understand."

Xu Beiyou listened to his wife's words without saying a word, with a calm face.

Xiao Zhinan showed a look of reminiscence, "I remember that when my father implemented the new policy, he asked Wei Wuji to recover the debts owed by the household department, and finally ransacked the homes of many ministers, which caused resentment from all over the court. At that time, I asked my father why he did this. Yes, he replied that the world belongs to him, the emperor, the Xiao family, and Daqi, but after all, it is still the world of the people of the world. If he, the emperor, cannot make the world peaceful, then the people of the world will choose other people. He is accumulating blessings for his children and grandchildren, and now that he does more, Da Qi will die more slowly, and Xiao's children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy a few years of blessings."

Xiao Zhinan suddenly smiled and said: "So in my impression, the emperor has been busy with various state affairs. When I just remembered, he was often reviewing memorials when I was sleeping, and I woke up. At that time, he was still reviewing the memorials, so at that time, I felt that the father was so powerful that he could not sleep and rest, but now that I think about it, he was only [-] years old at that time."

Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, and said: "Just now I was very curious about how His Majesty the Emperor cultivated a martial sage realm while he was busy with government affairs. Now it seems that it is not just because he is the Emperor of Daqi. The most beautiful thing in the world, but in my opinion, it is the most difficult thing."

Xiao Zhinan was in a daze.

For a moment, both husband and wife were speechless.
