Crackling...
The firecrackers of the Spring Festival sounded in the streets and alleys of Luodu City, and the red lanterns in front of every house illuminated countless streets, big and small.
The world is finally at peace.
Before the end of the year, the army of the Great Xia court crossed the great river in one fell swoop and went straight to the Jiangning mansion, while the "Dragon King" Yu Pohai led a group of elite troops to land from the coast first, conquered the Hangzhou mansion, and cut off the retreat of the Great Wu Dynasty. He didn't give the other party a chance to escape to Lingnan at all, and directly captured Holden and his son alive, and escorted them to Luodu a year ago to sacrifice their captives to the ancestral temple.
The first battle in the south of the Yangtze River will be decided, and the rest will wait and see.
The long-lost peace finally came, and the Great Xia court finally realized the reunification of the country.
At the same time, "Eagle King" Zhan Xiongfei broke through the remnants of the Donghu tribe and the coalition forces of Wuhuan and other ethnic groups in the north, and directly inserted the front of the army between the Baishan and Heishui in the northeast, built a city to flatten Hu, and established Liaozhou.
More than 100,000 Hu cavalry were coordinated, starting from Liaozhou, and attacking Beidi westward. At the same time, Liangzhou and Jizhou divided their troops into two groups. Silver Eagle and "Little Eagle King" Zhan Yu each commanded 50,000 troops to attack Beidi. Golden Eagle's wolf tent was hit hard. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, more than a million cattle and sheep, countless gold, silver and jewels, and finally fled to Mobei alone with more than 700 riders, and no longer have the strength to go south.
It will already be December when Ying Wang and others return to the capital.
In addition to the happy events in the court, the world is also becoming more and more stable. The disputes in the rivers and lakes that really affected the lives of ordinary people have long since disappeared. The reorganization of the Twelve Elders' Council has controlled the disputes in the rivers and lakes to a very small range. It is rare to hear the news of a certain master being assassinated by his enemies. Bai Dao The contests between each other and the contests between enemies were all concentrated on the ring, which turned into a rare sight and attracted a large number of people to watch the battle.
On the third day after the Spring Festival, Li Daozong brought his wife and children to Luodu. They were going to spend the Lantern Festival here. The decision was both angry and funny.
But it's rare for him to have such a childlike innocence, so he tried his best to meet Li Daozong's request on the basis of protecting the child well.
Li Daozong was very happy this time, carrying big and small bags full of things to buy for his wife and children. He just bought a bunch of wind chimes to hang on his son's swaddle, and then he bought a bunch of candied haws to put on his little hands.
Jiang Feiran was so angry that he pinched him, the child is so young, and the deciduous teeth have not yet grown, how could he be able to eat candied haws...
Li Daozong didn't care about it, he just kept buying and buying, from small shoes to wooden horse toys, he bought a complete set, and he carried his whole body in a short while. He was not reconciled, so he went to a car and horse shop to buy a small cart , continue purchasing.
A flower drum band of more than ten people bounced across the street, and the dolled-up drummers were all beautiful disciples of a certain sect, which aroused enthusiastic cheers from young people.
Jiang Feiran was overjoyed to see it, and was especially sincerely happy for the peace of the world, especially with her husband and children by her side, she no longer had to live in fear before.
Thoughts of happiness filled my body and mind, and when I turned to look at my husband, I saw him quietly looking across the road without saying a word.
The woman's intuition made her heart sink suddenly. Following the man's gaze, although there were people coming and going in the alley opposite, there was no noteworthy figure.
What's going on here
Jiang Feiran was so happy that her vigilance became so dull, she couldn't help but get angry.
The collar was straightened suddenly by someone, closing the gap that didn't exist. Li Daozong looked at her with gentle eyes, and said lightly: "Feiran, let's go back to the posthouse..."
Jiang Feiran closed his head silently, and walked in front with the child in his arms.
All the way to the post house, the waiter from the own shop stepped forward to make arrangements, but was thanked by Li Daozong, and personally carried the gifts bought for the children and wife to the room one by one, and served Jiang Feiran attentively as always.
The apparently warm atmosphere became extremely dull because of Jiang Feiran's doubts.
Li Daozong seemed to feel his wife's dissatisfaction and panic, but he pursed his lips tightly and just lowered his head to do things, but did not take the initiative to explain.
Until Jiang Feiran couldn't take it any longer, Xiumu looked at her husband lightly, and said softly: "Daozong, we are already husband and wife, if you have anything to say, what do you say..."
Tread Tread!
Li Daozong lightly tapped the loose side of the wooden horse toy tightly, then slowly sat opposite Jiang Feiran, and said calmly: "Tonight, I'm going to meet someone..."
"Who?" Jiang Feiran asked in a deep voice.
Li Daozong shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't want you to know..."
Jiang Feiran's heart sank even more. She immediately knew that this meeting was definitely a dangerous meeting, and quickly asked: "Is it the task that Jin Yiwei gave you? You can completely return it. Doesn't Jin Yiwei still have Chao Kuangfu himself?" And Wu Xiaoshan? Even if they can't show up, Yan Jueling, Nie Xingxie, who can't make a move, why are you looking for... "
"I asked for it on my own initiative..." Li Daozong raised his head and stared at Jiang Feiran intently, "Only I can see this person in person, and none of them can..."
Jiang Feiran narrowed his gaze, and immediately understood the key point, "Is it... Li Muru?"
Li Daozong knew that he couldn't hide it from his wife, so he could only nod with a smile, "He is full of evil and has endangered the martial arts for a long time, but I can't let others kill him... What's more, I want him to know that the Li family has a descendant. The legitimate Li family Descendants must return to 'One Sword Villa', he is the young master of 'One Sword Villa', and you are the mistress of 'One Sword Villa'."
"I don't care." Jiang Feiran grabbed Li Daozong's hand.
"I care." Li Daozong held his wife's catkins back, stroked her peerless face with the other hand, and said firmly: "How can a man make a woman say that she wants a better life? Shouldn't the man take the initiative to fight for it?" ? One Sword Villa is not only for you, but also for the ancestors of the Li family, the descendants of the Li family... "
Jiang Feiran looked into his man's eyes, knew the other's determination, and finally sighed helplessly, tears rolling down his face.
Li Daozong took a deep breath, let go of his love for his children, stood up and looked out the window, "The time is coming, I'm leaving."
"Bring my sword." At this time Jiang Feiran said suddenly, smiling at Li Daozong, "I'm afraid I don't remember where you left your sword, but my sword is for our baby, and I always wear it. On the left and right."
Jiang Feiran pulled the fox fur coat hanging beside him, revealing the treasured sword hidden inside the coat—the divine sword "Bi Lan".
"Okay!" Li Daozong didn't refuse, he lifted the divine sword, gently stroked the ancient and clumsy lines on the scabbard, and felt the connection with his wife.
"Go. Remember to come back early." Jiang Feiran smiled and turned to tease Xiaobao.
The little baby's black eyes widened, he kept scanning between his father and mother, and finally stopped on the Bi Lan sword, giggling non-stop.
At this moment, Li Daozong's confidence was high.
