In the end, Lin Wanyue ignored the proposal of Queen Mansha of Toumanbu, and she divided the soldiers in the north into two parts, and they changed every ten days.
Half of it is used as the autumn harvest guard of Yangguan City, and the other half is responsible for digging rocks with craftsmen.
It seems that nothing can shake Lin Wanyue's construction of this nearly thousand-mile fortification that connects the fourteen cities in the northern border.
As the news spread, the prefects of the Northern Territories also spontaneously responded to the call of the Commander of the Northern Territory. Craftsmen and clerks were not afraid of danger, and flooded into the Northern Territory to participate in the construction of the city wall.
It has been almost a year since the imperial edict that the people in the northern border retreated for a hundred miles, and now the vigorous Five Husbands Law has come to an end temporarily. Massive family relocation.
The desolate northern border has regained its vitality again. Ordinary people may not have the foothold of Lin Wanyue, but they all understand that if this city wall is built, it can better resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, and can protect the homes they have lived in for generations. The labor force spontaneously joined the team to repair the city wall.
The men repaired the wall, and the women and children steamed buns at home, pickled wild vegetables, and if the conditions were slightly better, they put minced meat in the wild vegetables, and sent them to the city wall at noon every day.
For a time, the army and people in the northern border were enjoying themselves. Lin Wanyue went to inspect the city wall several times. At first, the women avoided it spontaneously, and the men all agreed when they saw the young commander.
But after a long time, everyone found that although this handsome man looked very serious and his white hair on the temples was even more different, but he was very kind, so he was no longer afraid of Lin Wanyue.
Occasionally, someone pretended to have the guts to talk to Lin Feixing, and they could get a polite reply, making these people as happy as anything.
In this way, with the joint efforts of all the soldiers, craftsmen and people in the north, the city wall that stretches for thousands of miles is slowly but firmly being built.
During the period, a small group of Xiongnu wanted to harass, but Lin Feixing personally led the army to repel them.
After winning the battle and seeing the heroic appearance of this young marshal with his own eyes, the people in the north are even more excited. Although the labor is heavy, everyone has a smile on their face.
The name Lin Feixing resounded throughout the North, and everyone knew that there was a young marshal in the North who was born with a pair of white temples. As long as he was there, the North would be safe.
All the rumors and rumors about Lin Feixing in the past have long been forgotten. He is both a marshal and a concubine. He could have lived a better life in the capital, but he was separated from the princess and stayed in the north to fight against the Huns and benefit the people. Everyone They are all grateful to Lin Feixing.
And Lin Feixing's prestige among children is surprisingly high. Many boys look forward to Lin Feixing's peculiar hair color, begging their parents to turn their temples white. Even girls who rarely go out will occasionally get together. , quietly discussing Lin Feixing's demeanor, hoping that such a strange man will appear in their lives one day.
Time flies, white horses pass by.
In a flash, several months passed, and the first snow fell in the north.
Before the winter, under Lin Wanyue's instruction, a large amount of stone was hoarded in the northern territory. Although the winter project progressed slowly, Lin Wanyue did not seem to intend to waste time.
Lin Wanyue did not let the people work in vain. The labor who participated in the construction of the city wall was paid. Lin Wanyue sold a large number of treasures accumulated in the marshal's mansion, and paid the laborers money from his own pocket. There was no need to farm in the winter, and many men robbed them. to repair the city wall.
Lin Wanyue stood alone on the city wall of Yangguan City. There was a heavy goose feather snow in the sky, and the west wind whistled and rolled the white snow. The sky and the earth were vast.
The soldiers on the city wall all straightened their bodies and clenched the spears in their hands. Since the winter, the commander has often climbed the city wall to look from afar. Sometimes he will stand for a long time.
The soldiers couldn't figure out why the commander had a soft spot for this place.
Some people guessed: The commander looked at the northwest and was determined to wipe out the Huns.
Others guessed: The commander has not returned to Beijing for more than a year since he was in command of the five random laws, and he is probably missing the princess.
Others are curious about the relationship between Youqin, who is behind Lin Feixing all the time, and the commander.
Some people guess: Youqin is Lin Feixing's confidante in the north.
Some people say: Miss Youqin is the righteousness of Her Royal Highness the princess, who is left to the marshal to relieve the lonely people in the room.
Of course, there are people who know the truth: Lin Feixing is Youqin's savior, although he can't figure out the origin of Youqin, perhaps to repay his kindness, he has always been by Lin Feixing's side, working hard without complaint.
Lin Feixing stood in the howling west wind, and suddenly felt a warmth all over his body. It turned out that a big coat was draped over his body.
"Commander, it's been freezing cold these few days, you've been standing on the city wall for a while, come back."
It turned out that it was You Qin who carried Da Hui to the city wall, but Lin Wanyue was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't realize it.
Youqin put on Lin Feixing's head, and went around in front of Lin Feixing, gently pulled the head for Lin Feixing, and fastened the belt on her chest.
Although the soldiers behind him did not look sideways, clear glances flashed in their eyes.
They have seen this scene many times.
Some people have never seen the face of the princess, but this girl Youqin is not bad, and the look in the eyes of Youqin when she looks at the commander is bright and bright.
Lin Wanyue didn't know the thoughts of the soldiers behind her. She didn't even look at Youqin. She still looked into the distance. After a long time, she asked quietly, "Youqin, what day is it today?"
"Go back to the commander, November 25th."
Lin Wanyue nodded and murmured, "Oh, it's New Year's Eve again."
Youqin raised her head slightly and kept looking at Lin Feixing, listening to Lin Feixing's ecstatic murmur in her ears, her heart tightened, relying on a woman's intuition, Youqin knew that Lin Feixing was thinking of people in Beijing.
Since that incident, Lin Feixing has not said a word to the princess, but he has been alone more and more in the past six months. Youqin knows that this person is stubborn to not mention it, but he does not let go. It can even be said that when the anger fades away. Afterwards, Missing once again had the upper hand, but she just twisted her temper and didn't want to admit it.
Youqin lowered her head sadly, no matter how hard she tried, this person never looked at her...
"Master... Do you want your subordinates to pack for you?" After saying this, Youqin's heart was sour.
She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lin Feixing. She was afraid that seeing Lin Feixing's expression loosen, her hopes would collapse along with it.
The west wind whistled and pierced through his body, and the snow flakes hit his face, causing pain.
The long silence seemed like an endless wait.
Lin Feixing finally said, "No need."
Only three words, like a warm current, opened up Youqin's limbs and bones, she raised her head suddenly, and the excitement on her face was too late to hide.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feixing was looking down at herself, and Youqin was startled, and quickly put away the expression on her face.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Lin Wanyue's eyes, and she sighed and swallowed back into her stomach.
"It's cold, let's go back."
"Yes!"
In the 33rd year of Yuanding, Shangyuan Festival.
The city of Tiandu was full of lanterns and colorful lights, and the sound of firecrackers was endless.
If pedestrians meet on the street, even if they don't know each other, they should hold their hands together and say: "Good luck and good luck."
This year, Li Zhao's health got worse and worse. Not only was the host of the last court meeting directly handed over to Crown Prince Li Zhu, but even the palace banquet at the Shangyuan Festival was only sitting for a while with the help of Queen De, and took the lead to drink the first Bottled the wine and left the table.
The crown prince Li Zhu sat behind the high-ranking small case, and there was no one in the position of the emperor.
At the beginning sat King Li Zhen of Qi, followed by King Li Xuan of Chu, King Li Huan of Xiang, and Prince Li Pei.
On the opposite side sat the eldest princess Li Xian, the second princess Li Yan and her consort.
Li Yan left the cabinet last year and married Yin Boyuan, the eldest son of Taiwei Yin, who was the third prince.
The hall is still the same as in previous years, with silk and bamboo singing and dancing, and jade plates and delicacies.
However, the others were not as they were in previous years. King Yong died in battle, and there was one less royal family. Li Yan and Yin Boyuan, newly married Yan Er, shared the same case, but they were harmonious.
Among the men on the opposite side, only the King of Qi, Li Zhen, as always, as if nothing had happened, sat lazily, enjoying the songs and dances, occasionally singing at festivals, drinking and drinking to be happy.
The King of Chu, Li Xuan, was speechless throughout the whole process. He neither communicated with the brothers on both sides, nor did he appreciate singing and dancing.
The King of Xiang, Li Huan, was even more silent, but he was completely the opposite of the King of Chu. He didn't drink a drop of alcohol. He occasionally enjoyed singing and dancing. His eyes wandered between the Crown Prince Li Zhu and the Eldest Princess Li Xian. No one knew what he was thinking.
Prince Pei was still young, and his own elder brother ignored him. He could only bury his head in hard work, and he was incapable of drinking, and in a short while he appeared confused.
Li Zhu was wearing the prince's majestic black costume and crown of the prince, with a jade complexion and a youthful hair; now sitting alone in a high position, like a victor aloof, I saw him twitching the corners of his mouth and holding up the wine bottle in front of him: "Gu, A toast to all brothers and sisters."
As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly, showing a three-pointed arrogance.
Li Xian was the first to respond with a bottle of wine, and Li Yan and Yin Boyuan both responded.
King Qi poured himself a glass and raised the wine bottle. Li Pei, who was incompetent in drinking, did not dare to disobey His Royal Highness's intentions, and raised the wine bottle with a blushing face.
Only King Li Xuan of Chu and King Li Huan of Xiang were gloomy and refused to raise their glasses.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhu's past events flashed before his eyes one by one.
When his mother was newly mourned, he was still young. How did the King of Chu and King Yong press on him step by step, oppressing him and the elder sister, and how Li Huan caused the elder sister to lose her first child, causing her husband and elder sister to lose their first child. The elder sister had a quarrel and did not go home for two years.
New hatred and old hatred should be counted today.
"What? King of Chu, King of Xiang, ... two, brothers; do you want to drink a cup with Gu, wishing the father emperor a healthy dragon body?"
A few years have passed, and Li Zhu is no longer the yellow-mouthed child of the past.
Li Xian's face was like water, but her eyes did not leave the King of Chu and King Xiang. Both of them had put a lot of effort into assassinating Lin Wanyue.
Since her mother passed away, she has supported her younger brother for many years, and now Pearl has finally grown up.
Although she doesn't agree with Li Zhu being so flamboyant, it's okay to show some courage.
In the end, the Kings of Chu and Xiang also had to hold up the wine glasses. Li Zhu had a victorious smile on his face, raised his head, and drank the wine from the bottle.
Halfway through the palace banquet, Li Yanxu felt that Li Xian was alone and would inevitably be lonely.
He picked up the wine bottle and asked casually, "Sister, did brother-in-law say when will you return to Beijing?"
An inadvertent remark struck Li Xian's heart.
With just the right smile, Li Xian picked up the wine bottle and responded to Li Yan. When she turned around, she saw Yin Boyuan was preparing food for Li Yan, and she was in a trance again.
Once upon a time, she also shared a case with Lin Wanyue. The man had an amazing appetite, and he would remember to prepare vegetables for himself.
That man's expression was much gentler than Yin Boyuan.
She... hadn't been home for two years.
The author has something to say: Lin Wanyue did not come back on the second anniversary of the marriage.
For a person like the princess, if Lin Feixing vented against her like a sharp sword, it would not cause her any harm.
Only this is fatal to Li Xian.
The general and the princess haven't seen each other for two years~
hey~
