Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 90 Plain Galaxy
Pei Nai learned that Han Ruize was very prestigious in the local area.

The old leader of Huayun Village had handed over full authority over village affairs to him a few years ago.

The villagers have great trust in the former soldiers of the Pei family army, so they will not put too much obstruction in the subsequent preparations for war and defense against the enemy.

This attack made Pei Nai very suspicious.

Very few people knew that she was Pei Nai, and they also knew exactly the route she took to Huayun Village and the time she passed through various places.

The Wu clan spies who are infiltrating the Tianyao court must have considerable power and be very close to them.

Fortunately, Du Ling arrived at Huayun Village in advance and presented Xiao Mingyi's imperial edict. He also said that the matter was urgent and related to the survival of Huayun Village and the war deployment of Tianyao and Qilu, so he must go to meet the Tianyao envoy.

Han Ruize and others did not believe it completely.

But they all came from the military and naturally knew the importance of Huayun Village's geographical location.

Based on the principle of believing it is better to believe it than not to believe it, Pei Nai met Han Ruize.

A few days ago, after Du Ling's notification, Han Ruize had already begun to arrange the reinforcement of defense facilities.

Huayun Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The cliffs are steep and difficult to climb, and there are only three roads for entry and exit.

One is the northeast corner shortcut they took today, but this road is rarely known and the army cannot pass through it.

The second one connects two roads leading to the outside world.

The two roads between the valleys meet in front of the northwest gate of Huayun Village, forming a main road leading to Huayun Village. Looking from above, the terrain here looks more like a "Y" shape.

The village is located on a high ground. After reaching the main road, you need to walk along a rising slope to enter the village.

One side of the slope is a smooth mountain wall, while the other side is completely broken, with a valley below. If you fall down, you may suffer minor injuries or even death on the spot.

The third one is a path leading to Qilu State, which is connected to a vast plain surrounded by mountains and can only be entered from within the territory of Qilu State.

Pei Nai felt that the outside world's description of Huayun Village was indeed worthy of its name.

As long as we guard the northwest gate, we can really make it impossible for an army to enter.

The only problem at the moment is that they lack sophisticated combat weapons.

Huayun Village does not have that many reserves of bows, arrows and cannonballs on a normal day, which will become the biggest hidden danger once a war breaks out.

The villagers specially prepared a room for her, which was very close to the residence of Han Ruize and others.

After returning to the house and washing up, Pei Nai took out the Lingyue gun that Gu Jinheng gave her.

After removing the cloth wrapped around it, a clear and bright light like the stars and the moon appeared instantly. Pei Nai raised the gun and turned it, and the sound of breaking through the air suddenly rose, which was a little clearer than before.

She had intended to keep it as a backup, but had not expected it to be needed so soon.

However, the Guimo Spear is made of the northern black iron, and its hardness is second only to the Gongshan black stone used to make the Hunxi Whip.

How could it be so fragile when it came into contact with Sikouxiu's meteor hammer?
Unless Si Kou Xiu's Mingsuo Meteor Hammer, like the Zhubei Spear, Xihan Knife, and Nanqiang Sword, was also forged from the meteorite in the western border of the Shangbei Continent.

In this case, whether the Lingyue Spear can defeat the meteor hammer in his hand is still an unknown question.

Pei Nai thought about it, put on his coat again, and prepared to go to the yard to get used to his new weapon.

When he opened the door, the night wind blew in his face. Pei Nai couldn't help but close his eyes, walking in the wind, feeling the fresh breath surging around him.

At the same time, the other half of the Pei family spear moves on the relief in the underground palace immediately came back to his mind.

Pei Nai felt itchy in his heart, so he kept his eyes closed, used the wind as his enemy, and performed the moves in his memory one by one.

The gun moves with the body, and the wind guides the way.

Gradually, Pei Nai discovered that she could actually do it. She swung the spear through the air and no matter how fast the force was, it did not make any sound.

Before this, she had never imagined that one day, the Palm of Ten Thousand Hates would be able to work in synergy with the Pei Family Spear.

Pei Nai turned around and pushed the Lingyue Spear forward with the wind. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately stopped with a fierce movement.

She controlled it in time, and the wind hit the man without any power.

"He's so powerful, yet he can control it freely. Even after ten years, I'm still not as good as him." The man who appeared crossed his arms over his chest, leaning against a tree and speaking leisurely.

Pei Nai smiled when he heard this and opened his eyes, "This is really one of the mysterious things in this life. When Pei Nai goes out late at night, he will definitely meet Han Ruize."

"You've only been awake for half a year, why is the number of gunshots so different from before?"

Han Ruize looked at her with a little doubt, "These moves seem to be from the same school as the Pei family's spear skills, but I have never seen them before..."

Pei Nai put the gun back and said, "This is the other half of the Pei family's spearmanship. I also got it by accident in Chaoyang's underground palace."

She knew what Han Ruize was going to ask, and then said, "I'm not sure whether my father and other ancestors of the Pei family inherited the other half of the moves, but what I can't understand is that if they knew the complete Pei family spear technique, why would they deliberately hide it?" "Perhaps this other half of the spear technique was lost hundreds of years ago." Han Ruize continued.

Pei Nai frowned, "Why would they go to such lengths?"

"In order to stabilize the situation in the world and maintain the overall balance of the Upper Three Mountains, if there is an external force that breaks this long-lasting balance, the younger generation of the Pei family will learn the complete Pei family spearmanship to cope with all changes."

Han Ruize's words gradually dissipated the fog in Pei Nai's mind, and many things in front of him gradually became clear.

She said, "So Yue Cang is the one who is about to break the balance. When he left, my ancestor Pei Hong had anticipated that this day would come, and therefore, together with the Emperor Zu, he planned all this?"

"That's what the underground palace is about, but judging from the other things you said, there are multiple forces involved, but we don't know yet."

Han Ruize loosened his arm and walked towards Pei Nai, "Come on, I'll take you to a good place."

Pei Nai followed him and walked around the village for a long time until he could faintly hear the sound of a waterfall.

"Is there a waterfall in the village?" Pei Nai asked.

Han Ruize nodded, "But you can't see it from inside the village. You need to use Qinggong to get up to this place."

He did not question Pei Nai's ability. He just said "Follow me" and jumped up. With the help of the protruding rocks and falling vines on the mountain wall, he quickly reached the top.

Pei Nai followed closely behind, and the moment he jumped to the top of the mountain, the view in front of him suddenly became clear.

Just as she was shocked when she was on the high cliff of Stonehenge, the land and plain below the mountain had no boundaries in sight, and the sky and the earth seemed to be connected into one painting.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

A large amount of mountain spring water flowed past them not far away, fell off the cliff and rushed down.

The waterfalls eventually converge into a stream, winding and twisting, flowing to an unknown distance, embellishing the mountains and rivers before our eyes.

Han Ruize sat on the ground and patted the seat next to him, "Don't be polite, just treat this as your own home."

Pei Nai looked at him in disbelief again, "Have some shame, Mr. Han. The country across the way is Qilu. Do you really think it's your own home?"

Han Ruize smiled casually, then lay back with his arms and legs stretched out.

Looking at the sky, he said: "If you devote your body to the mountains and rivers and your heart to wandering, the whole world is your home!"

Pei Nai was also curious about his feelings and lay down in the open space next to him.

The wind was blowing, and there seemed to be only an endless night sky in front of me. I relaxed completely, and the world began to spin.

It is like falling into the Milky Way, becoming one with nature, with the stars pressing down and within reach.

It’s like a sweet dream in the world, where there is no obstacle of thoughts, and mountains, stars, and mortals are no longer distinguishable.

Faintly, Han Ruize seemed to say something to her, but Pei Nai didn't hear it because of the sound of the waterfall.

"What did you say?" she asked.

"Nothing." Han Ruize retracted his gaze and shook his head. "Let's talk about it after this battle is over."

Pei Nai had traveled for many days in a row and had a fight with Luan Xiao, Si Kou Xiu and others today, so he felt a little tired.

The sound of water filled her ears, and before she knew it, she quickly fell asleep.

After Pei Nai fell asleep, Han Ruize supported his head with his arms and looked at Pei Nai for a long time without moving.

From the time they met until now, Han Ruize's heart has never been calm.

Accompanied by the sound of the gurgling waterfall, he helped Pei Nai smooth down the messy hair on her forehead that was blown by the wind, smiled lightly at himself, and said, "Isn't it that today we are on the same floor with Mu Tian, and we can sleep on the same pillow for the rest of our lives?"

When Pei Nai woke up again, it was already dawn in the east, and she was still lying there.

When she turned around, Han Ruize was looking at her and laughing, "How can you sleep so well? Just like a pig."

Pei Nai was so angry that he slapped him hard, "You didn't even wake me up? Do you want to freeze me out and force me to stay in the village so that you can go and lead the army?"

"You can see this? I hope so. Who can stop you?"

Han Ruize sat up and said, "Get up. Wash up and I'll take you to see the progress of the deployment."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to see something and his expression changed slightly.

Pei Nai turned over, followed his gaze towards the plain in the distance, and was also stunned for a moment.

"Is this Qilu's army?"
