After meeting Gao Xuan, Chen Chao first returned to the Great Wall in the north.

When entering the city, Chen Chao stood in front of the extremely tall city wall. He raised his head and took a look, feeling the talismans stacked on top of countless generations and the other mysterious atmosphere. In fact, he felt a little heavy.

As a man who has never forgotten his worries, he dare not say that he can conquer the city alone. In fact, this is the reason why the Great Wall of the North has been able to stand here for more than two hundred years.

"What, you look scared?"

A gentle voice suddenly sounded, and a tall man appeared beside Chen Chao. It was none other than Chen Chao's previous boss and now the Northern General, Ning Ping.

Chen Chao tilted his head and glanced at Ning Ping beside him. He hadn't seen him for a long time. This former garrison envoy of Daliang now had gray hair on his temples.

Among the three people who were among the top three in the world in the previous generation, General Xiao Hezheng was the eldest, Emperor Liang Chen Che was in the middle, and Ning Ping was actually the youngest.

It's just that I was young back then, but I'm not that young now.

Time is like a knife, it treats everyone like this, and I never think of showing mercy to anyone.

However, judging from Ning Ping's age, his early gray hair is probably due to being in the north for too long and the burden here is too heavy, which makes him worry all day and night.

Chen Chao joked, "It's time for you to brew some wolfberry to replenish your health."

"Who drinks that stuff?"

Ning Ping slapped Chen Chao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That guy Song Lian may need this, and you may also need it, but for this... officer, it is not necessary."

Chen Chao nodded and said clearly, "Yes, Sir, in this situation, I am afraid that wolfberry is not enough. I should get two of the most authentic old mountain ginseng from Liaodong. I understand, and I will start to do this when I regain my consciousness."

, I will definitely deliver it to you as soon as possible."

Ning Ping laughed and scolded, "You stinky boy."

One of the two people said that he was a senior official, and the other said that he was a subordinate official. In fact, they both knew it tacitly.

After that, Ning Ping led Chen Chao into the city from the city gate. The old and new guards, now the top two in the world, slowly moved forward. At first, Chen Chao deliberately slowed down to let Ning Ping in front of him walk in front, but then

After the reporter noticed it, he quickly slowed down and let the young man beside him walk side by side with him.

At this moment, there is actually no need to talk about qualifications or lack of qualifications. After all, the two of them can already work side by side in all aspects.

Chen Chao rubbed his cheeks, and Ning Ping took the initiative to smile and said, "Aren't you guys always so crazy in the eyes of other monks and monsters? Why do you act so humble when you are in front of me?"

Already?"

Chen Chao chuckled, "It's okay to just pretend outside, but in front of you, don't talk about me. Even if that bullshit Demon Emperor comes, don't I still have to show you the courtesy?"

Ning Ping clicked his tongue and said, "Are you here to slap me in the face?"

What bullshit demon emperor, listen, is this what a human being should say?

Chen Chao smiled and said, "The three generals of this dynasty have been kind to me, not to mention Your Majesty. I don't know how much you have worried about me along the way. As for you, old man, there is no need to say more."

Yes, I must be humble in front of you, the old man."

That's what I said, but it made Ning Ping's head grow bigger when he heard it.

He stared at Chen Chao in front of him with some dissatisfaction, "I heard that your boy is in Shendu and has charmed countless girls."

"What?"

Chen Chao looked at Ning Ping with some confusion and asked curiously, "Sir, does this violate Daliang law?"

The look in his eyes was full of provocation, as if he could just tell me, sir, don't be jealous. Being jealous is useless.

Ning Ping sneered, "When I was young, who didn't know that I was a handsome man from Shendu? Once I walked through the streets of Shendu, I would receive hundreds of love letters. Do I need to be jealous of you? This kind of thing will never happen in your life."

You can’t even keep up with me.”

After hearing this, Chen Chao carefully looked at Ning Ping in front of him. After looking at him for a long time, he said solemnly, "Sir, when you were young, you might have been quite charming."

In fact, Ning Ping's words are really not bragging. This guardian envoy became famous at a young age. When he was transferred to Shendu as the deputy commander of the left guard in the early years, he was actually very high-spirited and handled the case vigorously and resolutely. In addition,

He has a really handsome face, and he is indeed very popular with the girls in the city of gods. However, the general was obsessed with martial arts at that time, and had no interest in the love of these children, otherwise he would not be here now.

, still alone.

Hearing that the brat like Chen Chao now recognized his appearance, Ning Ping was somewhat satisfied. However, before he could speak, he heard the young man over there sighing, "I don't know what you've been through these years."

.”

These words were like the sharpest flying sword in the world, piercing the heart of Ning Ping in front of him simply and directly.

The senior, who was angry but not too old, wanted to slap the young junior on the head, but his raised hand hung in the air and did not fall down in the end.

Ning Ping took back his hand, sighed, and muttered a few words silently. Although this brat didn't deserve a beating, he was now the leader of the military attachés of the Liang Dynasty. It wouldn't look good to do so.

This is the difference between teenagers and middle-aged people. Young people can have no scruples, but when middle-aged people reach this point, their thoughts are actually not that little.

Chen Chao smiled and said, "If you have so many worries, you will always suffer."

Ning Ping smiled calmly, "You think you young people like you don't care? I walk on thin ice every day with fear. I can't sleep well at night. I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, the sound of fighting will be loud outside. This solid fortress

The city that had not been climbed by monsters for more than two hundred years was finally filled with monsters in my hands."

This was said indifferently, but the bitter taste in it was probably only known by the previous generals. Everyone in the Liang Dynasty knew that the general was the military attaché of the Liang Dynasty, but few people knew about it. After sitting in this position,

These generals never get a good night's sleep any day.

Because there are so many things on the shoulders, it can be overwhelming.

"Before, I didn't really understand why General Xiao had to return to his roots, but later he asked me to figure out something. After working here all my life, I didn't want to live a peaceful life in my hometown for a few days. As for being buried in the

It's even better over there in my hometown, where I can have a solid sleep and have a good night's sleep."

Ning Ping sighed. Others could see his glory, but how many people could see his helplessness.

Chen Chao said, "Later I sent someone to have a look. The general was buried in his own courtyard. There was no monument. There was just a small dirt bag in the courtyard. It was said that the general didn't want to make it too scary.

As for the future when a little kid's paper kite falls into the yard, he won't dare to come in and pick it up."

Ning Ping said nothing.

Chen Chao smiled and said, "I heard that in the end, no one knew that the general's name was Xiao Hezheng."

Ning Ping said, "It's enough to be prestigious in the north. When I return to my hometown, I won't be what I was when I was young. Why do I have to make it known to everyone? When I die, there will be people in front of this grave every day.

Pure.”

"You deserve it, but if you don't like it, then throw it away."

Chen Chao rubbed his head and finally asked a question that he was very interested in, "After this battle, what position will she have in the North?"

Ning Ping narrowed his eyes and glanced at Chen Chao, but was not in a hurry to speak. His eyes clearly said, "You kid, you have been holding it in for so long, but you can't hold it in anymore, right?"

Chen Chao had a look of helplessness on his face, thinking to himself, I have already deliberately talked so much nonsense, why is your attention still here?

"Everyone saw how she won that battle. She's not blind. If she really wants to erase her achievements, don't worry, I'll be the first one not to agree. With that big victory, it will be easy for me to do it in the future.

Many, many things can be left to her naturally. You guys have to know, after this war started, how much pressure did I put on her to let her be the commander? You know, what if something goes wrong?

, I really feel like I’m sitting on pins and needles right now, like thorns on my back.”

"But don't expect that after this battle, she will be in a high position. That is impossible. Some things cannot be rushed, and there is no point in rushing."

Chen Chao nodded. Regarding what Ning Ping said, he naturally understood that these things must be done slowly, right? No one can sit in the highest position overnight, and everything needs to be accumulated.

"Anyway, my lord, please take care of yourself. I will leave her affairs in the north to my lord."

Chen Chao smiled and concluded the matter here.

Ning Ping had a cold face, but did not agree or refuse.

After that, Ning Ping said calmly, "The northern border army's pest control has been going smoothly these days. Although it is not completely new now, it is much better than before."

Chen Chao solemnly said, "This matter needs to continue to be done, and there cannot be any relaxation. After all, His Majesty's vision is here, and if you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the border army, this matter must be done."

Ning Ping nodded, knowing the pros and cons. After thinking about it, he asked, "Besides the new weapons, what else have you done these days?"

Chen Chao chuckled and said calmly, "In about a month or two, monks will come to the northern border one after another to listen to the orders of your great general."

Ning Ping asked curiously, "What, your kid went to buy someone?"

Chen Chao ignored him and just said to himself, "It's possible for casual cultivators from the north, sword cultivators from the Sword Sect, and even some Qi practitioners. I've been causing trouble everywhere this year. If I don't do any good, what do you think I am?"

Are you willing to run around like this?"

Ning Ping laughed loudly. Although he had never returned to Daliang since he came to the north, he had heard about every one of those things without missing a word.

When this boy was wandering around, the guys outside were so frightened that they all prayed to the young guard that he would be fine wherever he went, just not to come to his own mountain gate.

Not to mention asking for a bowl of water or just passing by, don't ask for it.

morning

In recent years, it has been rumored that this young man is a very vicious person. At that time, everyone did not take such a young man seriously, but now when they take the other party seriously, the other party does not take them seriously.

In my eyes.

Also, depending on the opponent's current fighting strength, an ordinary person can be killed at will.

People also wonder why there are so few people in the world who are obsessed with worry, so why is it that one of them is none other than this young man in front of them?

God is blind.

Ning Ping thought for a while and said, "You have done a lot of things in other places before. Although you were also doing it for Daliang, you did not do it in the north after all. So when they mentioned you, they didn't have any feelings at all, but today
