A few days later, the warship docked in Chenzhou. Next, it’s time to take the overland route. The soldiers got off the boat in an orderly manner, with more or less a smile on everyone's face. After floating on the boat for more than ten days, it felt so good to be grounded. Ning Chen did not stay in Chenzhou. After a short rest, he went straight to Beilinguan. Running all the way, Five days later, we finally saw the majestic pass. The imperial edict arrived a few days ago. Therefore, there were people waiting to greet him in front of the city gate. "Excuse me, who is General Ning?"
A tall man, wearing armor, watched the approaching soldiers and horses warily. Ning Chen reined in his horse, turned over and dismounted. "I am!" The latter looked at Ning Chen in astonishment, perhaps because he was surprised at Ning Chen's age. After regaining consciousness, he hurriedly said: "The last general, Liao Xingwen, is the deputy general of General Liang. He came here to greet us on the order of General Liang." Before Ning Chen came, he met Old General Chen once. I temporarily gained some knowledge. Zhenbei General Liang Jingwu, a famous Daxuan general, was formerly the deputy general of General Chen. They are the real generals. I, the Northern Expedition general, are temporary, and I have to give them back when I return to Beijing. "Vice General Lao Liao, please take me to see General Liang." Liao Xingwen nodded and asked people to take Qi Yuanzhong and others to the military camp, while he took Ning Chen and others to see General Liang. Upon entering the city, Ning Chen could tell the level of General Liang with just one glance. On the street, there were constant shouts. The people walked neither hastily nor slowly, and did not panic when they saw Ning Chen and others. This shows that Liang Jingwu managed the army well, the military discipline was strict, and no soldiers harassed the people. Moreover, Tuoluo Kingdom often harassed the border, but the people here did things in a hurry, which showed that they absolutely trusted Liang Jingwu. All the way to the General's Mansion. Liao Xingwen took Ning Chen to the main hall.
But Liang Jingwu was not seen. "General Ning, please wait a moment...General Liang just went out for something. I believe he will be back soon." Ning Chen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter!" Feng Qizheng lowered his voice and said: "This General Liang, doesn't he want to give us power?" Ning Chen smiled and said: "No, General Liang is a famous Daxuan general. He has been following General Chen. He won't play such boring tricks... He must have something urgent, so there's no harm in waiting!" Two hours passed in a flash. Feng Qizheng and Chen Chong couldn't sit still anymore, and their expressions gradually became impatient. Ning Chen and Pan Yucheng are as stable as old dogs. Pan Yucheng's character dictates this. Ning Chen began to wonder if General Liang was secretly observing him? At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded. I saw a tall, middle-aged man wearing heavy armor and a resolute face striding in. As he walked, he brushed the dirt off his body, looking dusty. "The general is back?" Liao Xingwen stepped forward quickly and took the sword from General Liang's hand. Liang Jingwu hummed and asked casually: "Has anyone received it?" "I got it, it arrived two hours ago." Liang Jingwu looked up at the main hall, then strode in. His eyes fell on Ning Chen, "Are you Ning Chen?" Ning Chen stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I've seen General Liang." "You don't need to be so polite. You are the general of the Northern Expedition personally appointed by His Majesty... Although we are on the same level, His Majesty has a purpose. You are the master and I am the assistant." Ning Chen smiled and said, "I don't dare. Ning Chen is new here, how can he be the guest?" "This is an imperial edict, what can you dare to do?" Liang Jingwu said while looking at Ning Chen, "She looks pretty good, but she is a little short and her body is a little thin." Ning Chen smiled bitterly, Liang Jingwu should be meters tall and tall, and he felt safe looking at him. In terms of body shape, he is smaller than Liang Jingwu. Liang Jingwu took the tea handed over by Liao Xingwen, drank it in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said: "Old General Chen sent me a letter, praising you in the letter... saying that you are both civil and military and resourceful."
"I have heard about the poem. The poem I gave to General Chen is indeed a masterpiece...but this is a martial art. I have to try it myself to see if you are really what General Chen said. ?” "General Ning, do you dare to challenge me?" Ning Chen smiled bitterly, he would definitely not be Liang Jingwu's opponent if he took action. This was a master who crawled out from among the dead... If he didn't take action, he would definitely be despised by Liang Jingwu, and it would be difficult to start his future work. "good!" Ning Chen nodded in agreement. Liang Jingwu's eyes showed appreciation, no matter what? Ning Chen did not shy away from fighting, his courage is commendable... The most indispensable thing for soldiers is courage. Pan Yucheng frowned slightly. Although he has never fought against Liang Jingwu, he has heard of his name, so he is afraid that he may not be his opponent... Ning Chen is afraid that he will not be able to make a few moves. Ning Chen and Liang Jingwu came to the yard and distanced themselves. Ning Chen took off his sword and handed it to Feng Qizheng. Liang Jingwu saw this and smiled: "You can use weapons." Ning Chen smiled slightly, "Since it's a competition, it must be fair." As Ning Chen spoke, he looked at Liang Jingwu, looking for any flaws. This guy is like a humanoid explosive bear, he has no foundation at all. One force can bring down ten. In the face of absolute power, any skill is in vain. Liang Jingwu waved his hand, signaling Ning Chen to take action. Ning Chen was not polite either. He kicked his feet and rushed towards Liang Jingwu like a cheetah, concentrating all his strength on his right elbow. Bang! ! ! Ning Chen's right elbow hit Liang Jingwu's chest hard. Liang Jingwu was knocked back two steps and couldn't help but let out a light exclamation. Ning Chen was grinning in pain. Liang Jingwu was wearing heavy armor. His attack did not cause any damage to Liang Jingwu. Instead, his entire right arm was numb and he completely lost consciousness. Liang Jingwu was tall and had long legs. The heavy armor rubbed and rustled. He came in front of Ning Chen in two steps, feeling full of oppression... He raised his big hand like a palm leaf fan and slapped it on Ning Chen's shoulder. Ning Chen quickly bent down and dodged the attack with a boxing step, then quickly counterattacked, and his left fist hit his waist like lightning. Liang Jingwu quickly lowered his arm, and Ning Chen's punch hit his arm. Bang! ! ! Liang Jingwu didn't react at all, but Ning Chen felt that his wrist was about to break. Liang Jingwu raised his right hand and slapped Ning Chen with a palm-leaf-like palm with a sound of breaking through the air.
Ning Chen suddenly lowered his body, rolled on the spot, came behind him, hugged one of his legs with both hands, and exerted all his strength, trying to flip Liang Jingwu to the ground. But Liang Jingwu just staggered, then shook his legs and threw Ning Chen away. Ning Chen landed, rolled a circle, and then stood up. He stared at Liang Jingwu closely. This guy was like a human tank and couldn't be beaten at all. "Old Feng, knife." Feng Qizheng immediately pulled out the knife and threw it to Ning Chen. "General Liang, I'm sorry!" Liang Jingwu grinned and waved his hand. Ning Chen kicked his feet and rushed over like a cheetah, and the long knife slashed at Liang Jingwu with a sharp cold light. Liang Jingwu turned sideways to avoid the attack, and before Ning Chen changed his moves, he grabbed the back of the knife. Unexpectedly, Ning Chen suddenly abandoned the long sword, and Liang Jingwu was stunned. Ning Chen turned around and came behind Liang Jingwu, and his move was as fast as lightning, and a cold light flashed across Liang Jingwu's throat. Liao Xingwen and others were so shocked that their faces changed. Liang Jingwu's body stiffened, and he reached out to touch his neck, then turned his head and saw that Ning Chen had retreated several meters, playing with a dagger in his hand, looking at him with a smile. "General Liang, if I had used a blade just now, you would have been dead!"
