Ning Que and Sangsang walked down the mountain. The trees by the road became more and more luxuriant, and the moonlight fell on them, making them look a little dim.
Sangsang said, "I thought she was one of the most courageous human beings and would keep you here. I didn't expect that you would successfully escape from the mountain."
Ning Que felt that there was something wrong with her words. He said, "I know you want me to stay, or you wouldn't have said those words to her in the beginning."
Sangsang said, "I don't have any thoughts."
Ning Que stopped and threw the reins to the back of the black horse. He looked at her quietly and said after a long silence, "I think you are a little afraid of me now."
Sangsang squinted her bright willowy eyes and said, "I think you are sick."
Ning Que thought for a while and said, "Are you starting to be afraid?"
Sangsang said expressionlessly, "Lowly human …"
Before she finished her words, Ning Que waved his hand and said, "You can repeat this sentence thirty thousand times, but it won't change the fact. You are afraid after all. You are afraid of being kept in the human world by me."
Sangsang thought for a while and said, "I am not happy."
Ning Que thought that she was saying that he was too confident, so he explained with a smile when she was unhappy, "It doesn't mean that I am better than you. It just means that you know how good I am to you."
Sangsang looked at a certain part of his face and said nothing.
Ning Que then understood what she meant and felt a little embarrassed. He thought that since she had seen it, why didn't she throw a tantrum before, but now she brought it up again. Wasn't it annoying?
Although he thought so, he didn't dare to say it out. Although Sangsang knew what he was thinking, it made a difference whether he said it out or not. Having a thief in your heart and being a thief were two different things.
There was a clear stream beside the road. He walked to the stream and squatted down. He washed his face with the stream water, especially the part that was kissed by Shanshan. He even washed it very carefully until it was a little red.
Ning Que walked back to her and pointed at his slightly red cheeks. He said, "Is it okay now?"
Sangsang frowned slightly and shook her head. Obviously, she was still not satisfied.
Ning Que said helplessly, "If I wash it again, even the skin will be rubbed off."
Sangsang's willowy eyes suddenly brightened. Ning Que's words had provided her with a very good idea. On the mountain path, there was a sudden gust of cold wind that brushed past his cheeks.
Ning Que cried out in pain and covered his cheek. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
His fingers did not bleed, because Sangsang's movements were very fast. The moment the wind cut off the flesh on his face, she healed him back to his original state.
Ning Que touched his face and found no blood or wound. However, he clearly knew what had happened at that moment. The pain and fear were still in his heart.
"You crazy woman!" He couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Sangsang, "You vicious woman! I am your man! It's not like you roasted the meat stick! "
Sangsang did not have any intuitive knowledge about pain. She could only analyze the data calmly. She had thought that Ning Que should have gotten used to it after being cut into pieces so many times in the Divine Hall of Light and the You Prison. She did not expect him to react so violently at this time. She could not help but feel puzzled.
She did not understand that this kind of thing was very humiliating to a man. The most important thing was that it easily reminded Ning Que of the greatest humiliation that he still maintained until today. The most important thing was that in the West-Hill Divine Palace, they were enemies who shared life and death, but now their relationship had subtly changed.
That was why Ning Que was so angry.
Although Sangsang did not understand the change, she could feel that Ning Que was really angry. After a moment of silence, she said, "I will tell you in advance in the future."
She told him in advance before cutting his flesh so that he could be mentally prepared. If others heard this, they would inevitably feel that she was ridiculing Ning Que.
Ning Que knew that she was not ridiculing him. For Haotian, it was a rare kindness to tell him before doing something. It even vaguely represented some kind of apology.
Haotian would not apologize to humans. Even if she felt that it was inappropriate, she would not say it. Ning Que comforted himself in this way. He felt very comforted, but then he felt that he was really cheap.
"Forget it. Don't do it again," he said.
Sangsang ignored him and walked down the mountain with her hands clasped behind her back.
The Big Black Horse glanced at Ning Que with disdain, and then followed up with a jolt.
Ning Que felt very bored. He quickened his pace and walked behind her. He said earnestly, "This kind of thing is not interesting. Besides, you cut my flesh and have to make it grow again. It will consume a lot of Divine Power."
Sangsang said, "I like it."
Ning Que scolded, "What is yours is mine, and your Divine Power is my Divine Power. It may be of great use in the future. How can you waste it like this? What a spendthrift woman! "
Sangsang stopped and turned to look at him. She said, "Say that again."
When Ning Que heard this, he suddenly felt that she was very much like those barbarians in Chang 'an who would start a fight at the slightest disagreement. So he replied sincerely, "I said, you can do whatever you want."
When they returned to the outskirts of Jingdu, the night was half gone and the morning light was shining. They could vaguely see the buildings with black eaves in the city. It was very beautiful. However, the dense torches added a lot of tension to the atmosphere.
The monarch was forced to abdicate, and two thousand cavalrymen of the West-Hill Divine Palace crossed the river. Tonight, the Great River Kingdom was facing unprecedented turbulence. Who could sleep peacefully in Jingdu?
Before leaving Mogan Mountain, Ning Que had already told Mo Shanshan about this matter. He knew that the chaos and turbulence would end tomorrow, but there were still some unanswered questions in his heart.
"The position of the monarch of the Great River Kingdom has been taken over by Shanshan. You should have known this beforehand. So I don't understand why you wanted me to be the monarch in the palace. What's the point of letting me take over?"
"Some things are meaningless, but they are interesting."
For some reason, Sangsang liked to mention the words "meaning" and "meaning" recently. It felt like she was mocking the Academy's principles of life.
"For example?" He asked.
Sangsang said, "Second Brother Wu and his woman, who lived next door, had a conversation."
Ning Que shook his head and said, "They quarrel every day. How can I remember everything they said?"
Sangsang said, "The woman said that Second Brother Wu could not marry a concubine, unless he could become the emperor."
Ning Que thought of this matter and was speechless. He looked at her and said, "Just because of this, you want me to be the monarch of the Great River Kingdom, even if it's only for one night?"
Sangsang said, "Monarch for one night, and also once a monarch."
Ning Que was very helpless and said, "Haotian is indeed a busybody."
Sangsang ignored his mockery and said, "You said that I owe a lot of people in the world, so I can't cut them off because they can't be repaid. You mentioned this couple."
Ning Que said, "Are you repaying the debt?"
Sangsang said, "Yes, Second Brother Wu's debt should be repaid."
Ning Que said, "But won't you feel sorry for Aunt Wu?"
Sangsang thought about it and found it reasonable. She said, "I'll find a way to repay her later."
Ning Que said, "How? You want to give her immortality? Be careful, she will be scared to death when she hears this. Immortality … I really don't know what you are thinking about. "
Sangsang was not angry and said, "What I am thinking, of course a lowly human like you doesn't know."
Ning Que was very angry and said, "See, every time you say you can't win, you say this. Can't you say something new?"
Sangsang said calmly, "You lowly human?"
Ning Que could not do anything to her, so he walked toward the east, looking a little unhappy.
Sangsang walked behind him and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
Ning Que did not look back and said, "You took the throne of the Great River Kingdom, just to let Second Brother Wu marry a concubine. You also owe me a lot. Why don't you find a way for me to marry more?"
Sangsang said, "Because I don't want to, so don't even think about it."
He and Sangsang chatted all the way, getting farther and farther away from the capital. As time passed, the morning light gradually became brighter, and the bright red sun finally jumped out of the ground.
There were early vendors by the road. They did not know what had happened in the capital city, and the whole Great River Kingdom was nervously preparing for the war. As usual, they were boiling water and preparing to cook noodles.
Sangsang stopped by the stall and said, "A bowl of noodles."
Ning Que walked back and added, "Two bowls."
Then he looked at the rising sun in the east and said with emotion, "It really looks like a salted duck egg yolk."
The noodle stall owner was also an interesting person, so he said, "There is no salted duck egg, but there is fried egg."
Ning Que was slightly stunned when he heard fried egg.
Sangsang said, "One for each bowl."
Under the warm morning light and the rising sun, the two squatted under the willow tree by the road and began to eat fried egg noodles. Ning Que had been hungry for a long time, so he ate very carelessly, like running water.
Sangsang did not make any sound while eating, but her speed was not any slower than Ning Que's.
There was no expression on her face, but Ning Que knew that she was very happy. Since leaving the West-Hill Divine Palace, Sangsang would occasionally smile, but most of the time she was still emotionless. He had long learned to judge her mood from other aspects, such as the speed at which she ate, the speed at which she ate the noodles, and the way she looked at the cotton candy.
Ning Que finished the noodles in his bowl, but the fried egg was still there.
Since he was very young, he had been used to eating noodles first, then fried egg. This was because he had been through too many hard times.
He picked up the fried egg in the bowl, but did not put it into his mouth. Instead, he put it into her bowl.
Sangsang glanced at him, did not thank him, and did not say anything, but ate it directly.
Since she was very young, she had been used to him giving her the delicious food first.
The Big Black Horse stood at the side and lowered its head to chew the flowers in the morning light. It sucked the dew off and spat out the flower dregs. It looked very carefree and had the temperament of an immortal.
In fact, it was in a bad mood because it had no noodles to eat, and it had not eaten the yellow fruit for a few days. What annoyed it most was that Ning Que and Sangsang seemed to have forgotten its existence.
It thought bitterly, "You can show off your love, but you will be annoyed one day."
There was a saying that a prophecy could become a prophecy, which described the Big Black Horse's jinx.
After leaving the capital city, they walked along the official road for more than half a day. Suddenly, smoke and dust filled the sky in the distance, and the earth began to shake uneasily. Countless cavalrymen in black armor broke through the smoke with an imposing manner!
Two thousand cavalrymen of the Divine Halls from the distant West-Hill crossed the river to the south, broke through the Guanbei Commandery, and finally arrived.
Looking at these dusty cavalrymen of the Divine Halls, Ning Que frowned slightly and felt a little annoyed.
After he and Sangsang jumped off the cliff into the abyss and left the Peach Mountain, the West-Hill Divine Palace had been guarding this secret. Even bigwigs like the Master of Calligrapher did not receive any news.
If the news that Haotian had left the West-Hill was spread out, how could Haotian Taoism be at peace?
At the same time, the West-Hill Divine Palace was constantly looking for traces of Sangsang, trying to bring her back to the West-Hill.
Ning Que and Sangsang traveled in the world, and did not deliberately cover their tracks. For a giant like the West-Hill Divine Palace, it was not difficult to find them.
In order to prevent the secret from leaking, and because they did not know Haotian's arrangement, the West-Hill Divine Palace sent out two thousand cavalrymen, but did not dare to approach until Ning Que and Sangsang walked into the palace of the Great River Kingdom. Since Haotian had shown the Divine Miracle in the human world, it was meaningless to keep it a secret. Of course, the Divine Halls had to take action.
Two thousand cavalrymen of the Divine Halls crossed the river and traveled day and night, and finally appeared in front of Ning Que and Sangsang.
The smoke and dust gradually settled, and the cavalrymen of the Divine Halls stopped a few miles away, not daring to approach.
In the dusk, they could vaguely see a horse coming with dust, probably to meet Haotian, but they did not know who was on the horse.
Ning Que glanced at Sangsang, a little worried.
He was worried that she would really choose to go back to the West-Hill with these cavalrymen.
Just like last night, she was worried that he would really stay by the Ink Lake.
Looking at those human beings who were loyal to her, Sangsang said after a moment of silence, "Do you have any place you want to go?"
Ning Que thought for a moment and said, "What do you want to see?"
Sangsang said, "I want to see the sea."
They turned to the south, because there was a sea in the south.
In the camp of the cavalrymen of the Divine Halls of West-Hill, some chaos could be seen. The horse coming with dust slowly stopped, and a touch of bright red could be vaguely seen on it.
It did not take long for the cavalrymen of the Divine Halls of West-Hill to start their journey to the south.
In the fields of the Great River Kingdom, the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the sound of hooves could be heard.
The cavalrymen of the Divine Halls seemed very silent, but in their silence, they had their own sense of toughness. They did not care whether the Great River Kingdom would send troops to intercept them or whether they would be attacked.
The cavalrymen of the Divine Halls seemed very silent, with a sense of humility. They followed the two people and a horse in front of them from a distance of more than ten miles, and did not dare to move forward or leave.
The scene in the fields of the south of the Great River Kingdom looked extremely shocking and strange. Countless smoke and dust followed the tall figure in the sunset. Where would it go?
Ning Que and Sangsang came to the seaside.
The sea in the south was not as violent as the sea in the Kingdom of Song, but seemed very calm.
The wind on the sea was very gentle, but it was different in the sky. The clouds hanging in the blue sky were rolled into various shapes, and there were light waves on the sea, with various kinds of blue.
The Big Black Horse rushed into the blue sea, neighing happily.
Ning Que and Sangsang walked to the beach and looked at the sea quietly.
There was wind and rain on the sea.

(Everyone, this chapter of 4,000 words was written in an hour. Of course, it took me a lot of time to revise it, but it is still the fastest speed in my life! I want to tell you the good news! It seems that writing the plot I like is really the best thing. There is another chapter of 2,000 words, and it may be updated very late, because I haven't eaten yet … Uh, just now the cat vomited behind me. It seems that it is very dissatisfied with my complacency and looks down on me.) (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me.
