Upon hearing this, Shen Nanxing paused as he was about to close the box, took out the letter again and put it aside, then gently uncovered the yellow brocade.

Inside lay a delicate dagger.

"this......"

Shen Nanxing picked up the dagger and felt its weight as soon as he held it in his hand.

This dagger is definitely not an ordinary item.

She gently pulled the dagger out of the pitch-black scabbard, and a flash of green light appeared before her eyes, accompanied by a slight vibrating hum.

A strand of hair that had just fallen down as she lowered her head was still an inch away from the blade, but was completely cut off by the vibration sound when the sword was drawn!

Her dark eyes suddenly lit up. "This... this is the legendary Ghost Blade, the world-famous dagger forged by the renowned swordsmith Feng Xuan?"

Hu Lin bowed and smiled, "General Shen has good eyesight!"

"Because General Shen is about to go to the battlefield again, I specially give this ghost blade to General Shen for his self-defense."

"I can't get no reward for no merit!"

Shen Nanxing put the dagger back into the scabbard, put it back into the box, and was about to return the box to Hu Lin.

Hu Lin said, "I got this ghost blade by chance, but I am not good at martial arts, and my sister is not good at close combat..."

"If such a sharp weapon were to be hidden in my house and gather dust, wouldn't that be a waste of precious treasures?"

"General Shen is going on this expedition to fight for North Vietnam. The safety of the millions of North Vietnamese people depends on General Shen. If this Ghost Blade can protect the general even a little bit, it will be a blessing for this Ghost Blade!"

"General Shen, please accept this gift. It will also satisfy my patriotic heart!" Hu Lin bowed and requested, with obvious sincerity on his face.

Hu Shuang'er also pulled Shen Nanxing's arm and acted coquettishly: "Sister Nanxing, just accept it!"

Shen Nanxing was silent for a moment, remembering that this expedition was indeed full of dangers, so he did not refuse and accepted the ghost blade.

"In that case, thank you, Master Hu."

"But I am only borrowing this Ghost Blade for a moment. Once the war with Donglai subsides, I will return it to Master Hu in its original packaging."

Hu Lin was stunned and wanted to say that he didn't need to return it, but thinking of Shen Nanxing's temper, he didn't say anything.

I'm afraid if I tell her, she won't even want to use it for a while...

-

After a hundred thousand soldiers and horses galloped for half a day.

Shen Nanxing and his two deputy generals made proper arrangements, agreed on the time and place to meet, then rode on his horse, leaving the army alone, and galloped all the way towards Lishi Ancient Pavilion.

She was reluctant to rest for a moment, and finally arrived at Lishi Ancient Pavilion when her eyes were red from staying up late.

However, there was no one in the pavilion, only the breeze was blowing.

Shen Nanxing felt a chill in her heart. He... really didn't come?

Looking at the sun again, I couldn't help laughing.

She made an appointment with him at noon, so it was still early!

It was about an hour until noon...

Arriving at the pavilion, Shen Nanxing dismounted and patted the horse's head, which was treading on the snow: "You are running too fast! It's not time yet!"

"If I had known you could run so fast, I should have set the time earlier."

The horse raised its front hooves and neighed, its big eyes blinking.

Shen Nanxing laughed and said, "Why am I telling you all this? You don't understand."

"You've been running for so long, are you hungry?"

There was another burst of neighing from the people standing on the snow.

Shen Nanxing patted the horse's head again and said, "Go, find some food for yourself. When you're full, come back here and wait for me."

Step on the snow: ???

Go find food by yourself?

Taxue circled around her several times, snorting and neighing.

Shen Nanxing took out a cloth bag from the package on his back, untied it neatly, revealing a water bottle and dried meat inside.

She glared at Taxue and said, "Why don't you go find some grass to eat? These are all mine."

He stamped his front hooves on the snow, neighed loudly, and then ran up the mountain with a clatter.

After Shen Nanxing had eaten and drunk his fill, he began to feel sleepy.

She yawned and saw that it was still early, so she leaned against the pillar in the pavilion to take a nap, but she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she leaned back.

Not long after she fell asleep, a man in blue brocade clothes came riding a red horse. He dismounted from a distance and walked quietly towards her.

When he arrived at the pavilion and saw the woman sleeping soundly, he took out a cloak from his bag and gently covered her with it.

Then he sat beside her and watched, even taking out a book to read.

Just like this, read a book for a while, and then look at her for a while.

When that figure in black clothes and black hair arrived here...
