At the beginning of Niujia Village, my sister-in-law and I depended on each other.

After the words fell, the courtyard fell silent for a long time, and two slender figures slowly walked out from the corner of the moon gate.

A man wearing a 羃 on his head, holding a sword in his hand, and dressed in plain white clothes, stepped through the Moon Gate and stopped.

A man was wearing apricot yellow clothes, holding a sword in his left hand and tightly grasping a 羃 in his right hand.

Under the moonlight, one can see the girl's bright eyes, white teeth, fair skin, and charming demeanor. Between her eyebrows, one can vaguely see the appearance of Li Mochou from the past.

Since the girl entered the yard, she has been staring at Niu Dingtian in the pavilion. Her almond-shaped eyes seem to contain both joy and resentment, as well as a hint of excitement and timidity.

"Brother Niu, do you still remember Mochou?" Li Mochou asked in a soft and gentle voice, staring at the figure in the pavilion in a daze.

Niu Dingtian smiled, glanced at Maid Lin at the Moon Gate, and said, "Of course I remember Miss Mochou. I haven't seen her for four years. Miss Mochou is more beautiful than before."

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou's beautiful face flushed with shame. She then bit her lower lip and looked at Niu Dingtian, saying:
"Since Brother Niu knew Mo Chou's feelings, why didn't he reply to her letters, leaving Mo Chou waiting in the ancient tomb?"

"Is Mochou so unbearable in Brother Niu's eyes that you would rather marry someone older than you who has been married than marry Mochou?"

As she spoke, Li Mochou's eyes turned red, as if she had been abandoned, and tears kept falling.

Seeing this, Niu Dingtian frowned and remained silent.

When Granny Sun left Jiugong Mountain, he asked her to take a letter to Li Mochou.

He was also worried that the letter would be seen by Maid Lin, so the content of the letter was nothing more than caring greetings, encouragement to him to practice martial arts hard and take good care of his junior sister.

Half a year ago, when he returned to Jiugong Mountain and received the letter from Bao Xiruo again, he struggled in his heart but suppressed the idea of ​​replying.

He would be rejected by heaven and earth, and he didn't know how long he could stay in this world, so he had no time to talk about love.

Therefore, apart from the few women he had promised at the beginning, he had never thought of taking in any more women.

But I didn't expect that the master and disciple would come to my door directly tonight.

Seeing Niu Dingtian in the pavilion silent, as if he agreed, Li Mochou suddenly felt unbearable heartache.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, she wiped her tears, mustered up her courage and looked at Niu Dingtian, choking with sobs: "Master said that disciples of the ancient tomb are not allowed to marry for life, otherwise they will be expelled from the ancient tomb."

"Brother Niu, Mochou asks you now, are you still willing to marry me?"

After saying this, Li Mochou held back her tears and looked at Niu Dingtian quietly. There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her graceful eyes.

Obviously, I have made up my mind that if you are willing to marry me, I will abandon my master.

Niu Dingtian had seen the look in the beauty's eyes. If this question had been asked half a year earlier, he would have agreed readily. But at this moment, he was hesitant.

Li Mochou, seeing this fleeting hesitation under the moonlight, turned pale in an instant.

Before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face, and the stick in his hand, which had been clenched out of shape, fell weakly to the ground.

From the initial love confession in the letter, to the long wait later, and then to the humble surrender at this moment, Li Mochou thought back and felt like an annoying clown.

"The one with the surname Niu!"

"I hate you!"

Before Niu Dingtian could react, Li Mochou wiped away her tears stubbornly, leaving only a resentful voice, and her yellow figure rushed out of the yard.

The moonlight was hazy, and from a far distance, Niu Dingtian could clearly hear the beautiful woman crying bitterly.

"I thought you would keep her."

A breeze blew by, lifting the veil on Maid Lin. Niu Dingtian looked over and detected a hint of anger in the eyes of this cold and beautiful woman.

After all, she had prepared for the worst when her apprentice went up the mountain.

Just as my apprentice said, you would rather marry someone older than you and who has been married than marry my apprentice.

Although she was of a calm and indifferent nature, she felt uncomfortable when she saw her disciple being so humble and sad.

Niu Dingtian walked out of the pavilion and went to the Moon Gate. He looked in the direction where Li Mochou disappeared and said sadly:
"Soon I will break through the void and leave this world, and I may never return. Master Lin, please explain to Miss Mochou on my behalf."

"Shattered Void?"

Maid Lin was slightly startled.

Niu Dingtian nodded slightly and said, "Above the acquired is the innate, and above the innate is the celestial being. The celestial being realm is not tolerated by this world, and one must break through the void and leave this world, otherwise there will be a thunderstorm." After saying that, he expanded his divine consciousness and sensed Li Mochou by the Yangtze River, so he looked at Maid Chao Lin and said, "Miss Mochou is at the dock by the river. It's not safe late at night, so I won't keep Sect Leader Lin."

"Farewell!"

Maid Lin's face changed slightly when she heard that. She bowed and quickly headed down the mountain.

When the two auras in the distance approached, Niu Dingtian returned to Miss Huang's room in silence.

He took off his clothes and boots, got into bed, and crawled into the quilt. He greedily nuzzled the soft and fragrant body in his arms, buried his head and fell asleep.

Three days later, at night, Guo Jing and Yang Kang returned to Jiugong Mountain one after another.

In the living room——

Looking at Guo Jing in military uniform and the fair-skinned and beautiful woman beside him, Niu Dingtian's face was filled with surprise.

The girl's skin was extremely white, as if she had rarely seen sunlight for years. The flickering lights cast an even more ethereal air on her.

Seeing his uncle's inquiring gaze, Guo Jing's resolute expression instantly disappeared, and he blushed and said, "This is Miss Qin, whom I rescued in Shanxi. She has nowhere to go now, so she followed me back."

"I am Qin Nanqin, a commoner, and I am honored to meet the Prince of Xiangyang." Qin Nanqin raised her eyes slightly, glanced curiously at the young man in the dragon robe in front of her, and bowed.

Like the common people, she had long heard of this prince of the opposite sex who led an army to the Northern Expedition.

"Qin Nanqin..."

Niu Dingtian couldn't help but mutter to himself. Hearing this familiar name, he seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn't remember it.

Guo Jing glanced at the girl beside him, scratched his head, and said hesitantly: "Uncle Master, Miss Qin is a very kind person. There is a war outside now, how about, how about leaving her on the mountain?"

"you like her?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Dingtian asked, tapping the table lightly with his fingertips.

His eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, instantly making the young boy and girl blush.

"If you like it, then you like it. If you like it, just say it boldly."

Niu Dingtian looked at Guo Jing and said meaningfully, "Otherwise, things in the world are unpredictable. If you miss this opportunity, you may never get it again."

Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something. He gritted his teeth, his face no longer blushed, his heart stopped beating, and he said with a firm look in his eyes:
"Jing'er likes it!"

"As long as you like me, that's all," Niu Dingtian said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a life-saving favor should be repaid with gratitude. In my opinion, Miss Qin should stop repaying me with gratitude and give me your body instead."

After hearing this, Qin Nanqin's face turned red like the sunset glow in the sky, and her neck turned red. She lowered her head and said, "I will leave it to the prince to decide..."

Since Niu Dingtian was the one in charge, it would naturally be better if good things happened as soon as possible, so he directly scheduled the two of them to get married in three days.

three days later

Jiugong Mountain was decorated with lights and a not-so-bustling wedding was held for Guo Jing.

On the same day, the royal decree and the religious decree were sent to all the parties under his command: Guo Jing was promoted to General of Tiance Mansion and Deputy Commander of the Northern Expedition Army, and Huang Yaoshi was appointed as his assistant military advisor; Fentian resigned from the position of deputy leader and was succeeded by Yang Kang, one of the Five Scattered People.

As soon as this appointment was announced, even the ladies could sense something unusual.

However, no matter how Miss Huang and the other girls asked indirectly, Niu Dingtian just smiled and said nothing, and became more immersed in the tenderness with the ladies.

Only Niu Qian'er, who knew the reason, seemed absent-minded the whole day. Late at night, she recalled the past, recalled the Sun and Moon Villa of the past, and shed tears silently.

Half a month later
It was early summer when news came from the north that the war was going badly.

At this moment, the entire world's rejection of Niu Dingtian seemed to have strangled him by the neck.

On this day, Niu Dingtian finished his breakfast with several ladies and his sister Sha Gu, then went to take a bath and change clothes, putting on a brand new black dragon robe.

When he appeared again, he was holding the Yitian Sword which had been silent for a long time.

Soon, the cry of an eagle broke through the sky, and the divine eagle carried Niu Dingtian to the north.

There was the direction of Tongguan, which had been under siege for half a month after fierce fighting.
