Weijia Village·A few days
The snow continues to fall, and a thick layer has accumulated on the ground. It has snowed heavily these past few days, and next year will be another good harvest year.
Fang Yongjie led his wife and several village guards to see Pei Ziyun off.
"This time I was able to recover with the great kindness of the True Lord. I am so grateful." After three miles away, Fang Yongjie bowed and said, while Mrs. Wei looked at her husband's thin face, bit her lip gently, her eyes full of care, and asked He said: "Zhenjun, no one will find your husband again, right?"
As he spoke, he felt lingering fear, and his face couldn't help but show worry.
"I have sent a message to explain your situation clearly. Now you have lost your trouble and there will be no more troubles. You just need to live a good life." Pei Ziyun glanced at Fang Yongjie and said, Fang Yongjie had regained a lot of color, but was still thin. But it can be restored with care.
"After this calamity, your lifespan will not be very long, but you will have ten or twenty years left. However, in this life, you will only be able to win the title of Juren at most."
"I'm overjoyed to be able to pass the exam." Fang Yongjie took a deep breath: "If it weren't for the sake of my children and grandchildren, I wouldn't even want to take the exam. I just want to live with my wife and children in peace."
Pei Ziyun smiled and nodded. Of course he knew that if his father was a civil servant, it would be more convenient for his descendants to take the imperial examination. After looking carefully, he saw that Fang Yongjie had transferred his authority and had his own papers. Although Fang Yongjie had lost his fortune, he was not rich and powerful. But his face had a vague look of long-lasting blessings, and he could not be defeated by his descendants for three generations, so he smiled and said, "You have just recovered from your illness. You can't bear the wind. Just go back."
A few people talked for a while before leaving.
"Driving" Pei Ziyun moved forward, and the Taoist cavalry followed. The snow fell and splashed with the horses. Looking at his back in the distance, Fang Yongjie couldn't help but sigh: "He is really a hero who stands upright."
As he spoke, he seemed to feel his wife's gaze. He turned back and reached out to hold his wife's hand. The hands were a little cold, but he smiled: "However, I just want to be the landlord of the Xian family and spend the rest of my life with you. There is no other way." Life and death are separated, but I don’t want to be such a hero.”
"Yeah!" Wei's wife leaned into his arms, suddenly feeling relieved.
Pei Ziyun rode for several miles and saw a hill in front of him. From a distance, it looked like a gentle slope. There seemed to be a temple on it, but the steps were all covered with snow.
Pei Ziyun suddenly asked: "Is it nineteen now?"
"Yes, there are still eleven days until the Chinese New Year." Someone immediately responded, and Pei Ziyun nodded. He was in the army, and he had the Emperor's Sword and the token. He was invincible and no one could directly communicate with him. , and I can’t go home during the Chinese New Year, I feel really guilty when I think about it.
Pei Ziyun was silent for a moment. He waved his hand to order the team to stop, and then said to the soldiers: "Let's go up a little."
"Yes!" The soldiers didn't ask why. A dozen of them headed towards the hill. After walking for three miles, Pei Ziyun took a quick look and stepped on the steps.
There were pine trees on both sides of the shrine. Pei Ziyun looked at the temple but did not go in. He only stopped in the middle, took out the talisman and lit it.
After only a moment, the communication was opened, and the person who answered was Ye Suer, and her mother was also there.
Ye Su'er was even more dignified and beautiful. When the communication was connected, she was full of joy and stared at Pei Ziyun. The two looked at each other for a while, and then Ye Su'er said: "I miss you."
Just as he said that, his face turned red and he lowered his head. Looking at Ye Su'er who was shy and missing him in front of him, Pei Ziyun was stunned for a moment and sighed: "You have lost weight too."
Mother Pei Qian looked at the couple and smiled: "Ahem."
Interrupted by her mother's cough, Ye Su'er quickly gave up her position as if a rabbit had been disturbed. Pei Ziyun also quickly saluted. Pei's mother said: "My son, you are busy with military affairs. I am happy for you. You don't want to." Worry about me, this year, the prefect and the governor have sent people to perform New Year's gifts."
"Now that the family is well and healthy, there is nothing else to ask for. It's just that when you have time, it's time to get together with Su'er."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ziyun responded with a smile: "Yes, mother, I understand."
"Now that the New Year is approaching, I still have to be busy with royal affairs, so now I can only wish you a happy new year out of thin air."
Mrs. Pei Qian sighed and nodded, and the two chatted for a while. Mrs. Pei Qian left the talisman to Ye Su'er and spoke sweetly, naturally not talking to outsiders.
After a long time, the talisman was extinguished. After a moment of reflection, he picked up the little princess again.
Liujin Island has another charm. You can see in the background that although snowflakes are falling in the north, the island is basically warm as spring, and the trees and leaves are luxuriant.
The little princess didn't say anything for the first time. After playing a song, Pei Ziyun also took out the flute and started playing. It was just a song. Pei Ziyun also showed a smile: "How is life on the island?"
"It's very good. I'm afraid of the cold, but it doesn't get cold all year round on the island. And you see, the garden has been built for several months, and it's already half finished."
As she said that, she turned sideways and let Pei Ziyun look behind her. Sure enough, they started to build a garden.
"Hey, it's been two months since we last saw each other. I was the one who ignored you."
"Husband, what are you talking about? You are busy with royal affairs and have not even come back to celebrate the New Year. It is the royal family that is sorry for you." The little princess seemed to be telling the truth.
It was the hardest thing to accept the kindness of a beauty. Pei Ziyun nodded heavily and picked up the master again after the communication. This time he said directly: "Master, please bring the elders with you. I will survive the thunder tribulation this spring."
"What?" Yu Yunjun was shocked and couldn't believe it. His voice was trembling a little: "Is this true?"
"That's right, I'm already at the fourth level of Earth Immortal, and I'm only half a step away from the fifth level."
Hearing Pei Ziyun's confirmation, Mr. Yu Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay, I understand, we'll come right away."
"Huh, let's go down!" After the communication, Pei Ziyun took a deep breath, which condensed into white mist in the air, and led his soldiers down. Heavy snow continued to fall on the raincoat.
During the communication, others were not allowed to listen, but Xiaoqin sang together without blocking. Many of the cavalry and Taoist officials below shed tears. If possible, who wouldn't want to spend the New Year at home with his wife, son, and daughter
"Let's go back. We still have time to return to the camp to celebrate the New Year." Pei Ziyun said at last.
That's right. I kept running and finally returned to the camp late at night on New Year's Eve. In the snowy night, I could see the camp from a distance, and I could smell the smell of meat even further away. I saw bonfires everywhere and armored soldiers patrolling. , some cheers and shouts were also loud in the camp, which was much more relaxed, but there was nothing to pursue.
However, just before arriving at the camp, there were soldiers surrounding Chen Yong to welcome him out. Pei Ziyun looked around and saw that the entire camp was in order. Although it was noisy inside, there were watchtowers set up at the corners of the high walls. There were lights at intervals not far away. Soldiers were armed with swords and guns. Patrolling back and forth, he nodded with satisfaction and entered the big tent.
It's New Year's Eve here. The big tent is made of double-layered cowhide felt. There is a fire dragon in the ground. It is as warm as spring. The stove is burning brightly. Once inside, I sit down and meditate. There are eunuchs outside asking to see me.
"Come in!"
Following the voice, a eunuch wearing a sixth-grade official uniform entered. This man looked young, with handsome features and a bit of heroism. He looked like a young man. If you didn't know, who would think he was a eunuch
This man only saw Chen Yong standing sideways and a young man sitting upright. He immediately bowed his head and said, "I see the imperial envoy and the true king."
Pei Ziyun glanced at the eunuch in front of him. He was the imperial envoy escorting the food and grass. He smiled and waved his hand: "Get up, you are also an imperial envoy. You don't dare to be so generous."
Gao Guang quickly apologized and said, "That's right. I'm just a small messenger, bringing food, grass, cold clothes, wine and meat. How dare you be disrespectful to the true king?"
The eunuch spoke very politely, with a little fear in front of Pei Ziyun. He handed over the order respectfully. The soldier took the order and handed it over. Pei Ziyun looked at it carefully and turned to look at Chen Yong. Chen Yong immediately understood and responded: "True Lord, the generals have been counted, and not a single point is missing."
Pei Ziyun asked again: "Where is Prince Chengshun?"
Gao Guang stooped and replied: "The prince returned to Beijing on errands. Seeing that the snow was heavy and he was still young, the emperor could not bear the pain of running around, so he has stayed."
"From now on, if the True Lord has any orders, just give them instructions and have them approved by the lower officials."
Pei Ziyun was startled and said nothing. Seeing a batch of fireworks on the list, he nodded and asked, "Is it almost midnight now?"
"There is still a moment until the New Year." Chen Yong said, and Pei Ziyun laughed and ordered: "In the name of the Holy One, I will once again reward the whole army with food and wine."
"Yes" Chen Yong responded and went out. Pei Ziyun came down from the main seat and said, "Everyone, let's go out. There will be fireworks in the army this year. Let's enjoy them together."
After saying that, he went out and the soldiers took out the fireworks. Gao Guang was startled for a moment. He thought that Pei Ziyun would continue to ask about Prince Chengshun, but he didn't even say a word. He thought about it, stood there for a while, and then He quickly followed him.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, and the earth turned white. Everything in the sky and the earth was vast and covered in silver. Many colorful fireworks were placed in the large open space of the camp.
"Dang, Dang"
The New Year's bell rang in the camp, and many soldiers came out of the tent. When Pei Ziyun saw them, he ordered: "Let go"
The soldiers immediately lit the fireworks and ran away.
"Bang bang"
With the sound of fireworks rising and exploding, countless stars suddenly appeared in the sky, and chrysanthemums bloomed, red, yellow, and blue, blooming in an instant, and then extinguished in an instant, reflecting half of the sky.
Now, it is the first year of Qitai.
Pei Ziyun suddenly looked melancholy and sighed sadly. The prince in the past had only been emperor for two months, and he was already different from before.
Just as he was thinking about it, Tu Gaoguang stepped forward and reported: "We have military information. General Zhang Yu led his army to victory in the battle and beheaded three hundred people."
Pei Ziyun pondered and asked, "Has the emperor met with the general?"
"Yes, the emperor met with the generals. Many generals burst into tears with gratitude. Some of them received three thousand or five thousand. They have rushed to various places. Some of them have arrived early."
"Is there any discussion in secret?"
Pei Ziyun asked, and Gao Guang listened and said quickly: "Secretly they all praise Your Majesty for his kindness and generosity, and are willing to die for Your Majesty. These generals have arrived in various places, have made gains, and fought bravely."
Pei Ziyun nodded, if the civil servants and imperial envoys are the shield and the iron curtain, these senior generals are the spears and the tips of the needles. At this point, the entire layout is truly completed.
Pei Ziyun thought, looked at the system, and murmured: "According to my layout, it can be launched. It will be a fight to the death in the coming spring, but I don't know how many people will die."
"But this layout requires the emperor's cooperation. I have to go to Beijing once." Thinking about it, he looked at the fireworks in the sky and let out a long breath.
At this point, King Lu's energy has been weakened, but she is just waiting for the spring thunder.
