West Mountain Province, West Sea Port.
The snow was everywhere, and the harbor was noisy. On the shore, a group of people riding war horses watched the work of the icebreaker on shallow water from a distance. They all wore the senior ranks of the empire, surrounded by a beautiful young girl, who was exactly the name of Sikong. Granddaughter, Si Kongyao.
"Ahem..."
Liu Buyi coughed violently, the weather suddenly turned cold, his throat began to cough, and his throat became a little hoarse: "The sea in the shallow water has already begun to freeze. If this snow continues to fall, I am afraid the entire West Sea will be frozen. A big ice cube, A Yao, we need to prepare early!"
"I know."
Sikongyao's eyes were like water, and said: "Brother Ayu has already urged me to lead the Baize mercenary back to the broken tripod realm."
"Oh? Lin Shuai has given the order?"
"Well, but I have to wait for the last batch of supplies to be sent away. These three hundred merchant ships are filled with cotton-padded clothes and coal. They are extremely important military supplies. A hundred thousand soldiers have had a warm winter."
"Oh..." Liu Buyi's eyes flickered and hesitated, and said: "A Yao, in fact, I am very worried that the emperor will send troops to us immediately. I heard that... Surrounded a lot, your grandfather Sikongming, his grandfather..."
Sikongyao smiled slightly: "Don't worry about Grandpa, he has already told me that in three days, Grandpa will use his last supernatural power to return to Heaven, and by the way help me delay Yang Shang for another three days, so that we can send them all. Let's leave this batch of supplies."
"Well, that's good... But, we have a thousand warships, so we can't carry 300,000 soldiers and countless horses and equipment. What should we do?"
"Your brain is really bad." Sikongyao glared at him and said, "Brother Ayu has already considered this in Yushu. If I can't carry all my troops to the smashing ding world, let the rest The soldiers immediately took off their military uniforms, disarmed their swords, changed into the clothes of the common people, and mixed themselves among the civilians. When the troops of the Great Qin Empire arrived, they would be summoned again."
"Lin Shuai is really farsighted..."
Liu Buyi grinned and said with a smile: "Then I'm going to pass the order, and the gathering will begin in three days."
"Well, let's also inform Huoyuan City to let the Demon Emperor Nv Slay bring the Demon Race back to the Forest of No Return. Once we leave, Yang Shang and Duola's group will definitely not let the Demon Race go, and now it is snowing. For days, there is no fire prevention in the jungle, no one can help the Yaozu."
"Well, I got it."
Liu Buyi stretched his hand into his arms, took out a purple flower army emblem, cherished a kiss on it, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled very warmly: "Although I knew I was a soldier of Daqin, but now I finally want to go to that one. A place that has been fascinated for a long time but has never been to is really looking forward to..."
Sikongyao couldn't help laughing: "Is it particularly good to know who you are fighting for?"
"Yes, we are like children abandoned on the Celestial Continent, just fighting for a belief. I wish I could return to the embrace of the Daqin Empire, see the admiration of the people, and see the praises of the female emperor. , Seeing Lin Shuai’s affirmation of our Baize Corps, in this case, even if the battle died, it’s worth it..."
"Ha ha ha..." Si Kong Yao just chuckled.
"Why are you laughing?" Liu Buyi asked.
Sikongyao looked at the sea through the snow curtain with a pair of eyes, and said, "Buyi, you are more and more like a soldier, and the rogue habits on your body are almost gone."
"It's Lin Shuai who... changed me."
"Yes, Brother Ayu is such a person, who can easily use his charm to influence and change others. I think there must be many others in the Great Qin Empire who follow him because of this, just like us?"
"Well, there must be many, they are all our brothers."
Sikongyao shook her small mouth, raised her hand to tighten the lace of the leather robe, her face paled slightly, and said, "It's so cold, the speed of the divine power passing by far exceeds our estimate. Let's go and go back to the port. , You have to issue the military order immediately, start to gather tomorrow, break through the ice in the port, and the first group of troops must leave tomorrow."
"Yes, the subordinate understands, please rest assured the princess."
…
In Lanyan City, the entire Zetian Temple was almost wrapped in heavy snow. On the roof, the Yulinwei, who was as light as a swallow, was cleaning the snow on the bricks and tiles. The snow is transported out of the palace. In any case, the palace where the empress lives cannot be submerged by heavy snow. This is also Feng Jixing's order.
In the apse, waves of warmth rose up. The dinner was simple but not simple. In the center was a lamb pot being cooked, surrounded by twelve court royal banquets. The chefs of Zetian Hall changed batch after batch. But the only royal chef who made these dishes is still there. From the Qin Jin era to the queen supremacy era, they have been doing their loyalty to Zetian Temple.
Not many people attended the dinner, but all of them were their own.
In addition to Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi, there are also Feng Jixing, Chu Yao, and Su Yu. A total of six people surround a large table. They feel like a family enjoying themselves. In fact, Feng Jixing and Lin Muyu are like brothers. Chu Yao is Lin Muyu's elder sister, and Su Yu is Qin Yin's aunt, so she could be regarded as a big family.
The chief female officer, Shangguan Jingyue, stood aside respectfully, and said: "The dishes are all ready, do you have any more orders?"
"there is none left."
Qin Yin smiled softly: "Jingyue, you should go to dinner too. You don't need to be with you here. I have ordered Yu Chu to make your favorite cod soup."
"Oh, really? Then Jingyue would like to thank Your Highness, then... I'm going down?"
"Go go." Qin Yin waved his hand and said to a group of palace ladies: "You all go down, you don't need to be accompanied here. Our family must have a good meal."
The maidservants knelt down together: "The servants and maids retire."
When the ladies of the palace were gone, they were replaced by more than a dozen imperial guards with good cultivation skills to guard the outside. From the inside, they could faintly see the figure of Yuan Yu Yuezhi reflected on the window.
…
"Yinhua stuffed, the temperature is just right, enjoy it."
Qin Yin stood up, carried the flask, and poured wine for Lin Muyu, Su Yu, and Feng Jixing one by one. The female emperor poured the wine herself. Such things were rare. Feng Jixing was a little cramped: "Your Majesty, this... I can’t do it, after all, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and I will not be able to..."
"Wind commander, don't say that, there are no outsiders here."
Qin Yin poured the wine and smiled and said, "You are Ayu's eldest brother, and Ayu is Xiaoyin's husband. You were originally a family. It is part of Xiaoyin's responsibility to pour the wine for you."
"But..." Feng Jixing still couldn't accept it.
Tang Xiaoxi laughed and said, "Lord Feng, you should really go to Mu Mu's hometown when you have time. There... everyone is equal, and officials, citizens, emperors and ministers are not restrained like this, of course, at least it seems like this. ."
"Can everyone be equal?" Feng Jixing was stunned.
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "In fact, equality is not true, but equality is the ideal life that everyone pursues. Alright, okay, Brother Feng, we are all gods. We don’t have to be so much restrained at all. Xiaoyin is destined to leave Broken Ding in the future. Jie, do you still expect her to bear the weight of the crown of the female emperor of Broken Ding Jie for the rest of her life?"
"That's not..." Feng Jixing was a little embarrassed, then raised his eyebrows, and said, "Actually, don't I want to go to Ayu's hometown? I've heard him say that there are many hot girls there. They are very handsome for me. Man... Look at me, I’m thirty or forty years old, unmarried... I don’t even have a bed warmer every day. I want to call out a few ladies who charge bed warmers and have imperial military laws. I really have a hard time..."
Qin Yin returned to Lin Muyu to sit down and smiled: "You, you, you are not serious. If the wind commands you to be serious about dating girls, I don't believe that there are so many girls in the city of Lanyan in the imperial capital. Like you."
"Forget it, the girls in Lan Yancheng are not for me." Feng Jixing frowned.
"why?"
"His Royal Highness doesn't know anything. Most of them know me and have met me. They know that my family has a solid foundation. I have been the commander of the imperial army for so many years and they have made a lot of money.
"Then how much did you fish in private?" Qin Yin asked with a smile.
Feng Jixing was startled: "Damn, I missed you, Your Majesty Yin, you actually used my words, hey... it's all calculations, what kind of younger brothers and sisters this is... "
Qin Yin smiled again: "What are you doing? I didn't say that I want to hold you accountable. Moreover, you alone supervise the gold mines and magic crystal mines of the entire empire. If you want to be greedy, it is not easy. If You are really so rich in your pockets, I'm afraid you don't have to still live in the Forbidden Army camp."
"I just like living in a military camp, it's not that noisy." Feng Jixing explained grinningly.
Lin Muyu on the side was very clear. He knew who Feng Jixing was. Since the 30,000 banned army in Fire Badger Valley was killed, this guilt is almost unforgettable. Feng Jixing wants to protect the banned army and protect the army. Everyone, the soldier's temperament has already been imprinted in his bones, and can no longer be washed away, so he would rather live in a barracks than buy a mansion and live the extravagant life of groups of wives and concubines.
"Don't say so much, it's not easy for a family to be together, let's make a toast first." Lin Muyu raised the cup to help Feng Jixing escape from the embarrassing atmosphere.
"Okay, cheers!"
After drinking it, the throat is full of the fragrant smell of Yinhua. Yinhua ferment is indeed very mellow and soft. This is a special taste that the white wine on the earth does not have.
Su Yu put down the cup, smiled and asked, "Xiaoyin and Xiaoxi, what did you gain from going to the earth? Is your father-in-law satisfied with your two beautiful daughters-in-law?"
"Satisfied, satisfied." Tang Xiaoxi smiled.
Qin Yin said: "Aunt Yu, once I will show you the treasures of me and Xiaoxi, we have found a lot of beautiful clothes on the earth, um... You are Aunt Yu, I allow you to choose one from my collection. It's a gift from Xiaoyin!"
"Really?"
"Yes, and sister Chu Yao, too, I will give you a set."
"I have a share too?" Chu Yao Liwo smiled, "Well, Ayu, a shameless kid, doesn't remember me. It's rare that Xiaoyin has the heart."
Lin Muyu curled her lips: "If there is a chance in the future, Sister Chu Yao, you will also go to the earth with me. I will buy you a specialty store, oh no... I will buy ten for you to manage."
"Really? That's a deal!"
"A word is settled!"
