In the autumn of this year, Jiangbo Villa ushered in a major event that caused a sensation in the entire Jiangnan - it seems that some serious people are coming back.

After a few autumn winds, the lotus ponds have already lost their color, and the mountains and forests are covered with misty rain. Since the imperial court moved north, Jiangzhou and Yangzhou have returned to their pre-war appearances.

The scholars returned north, and the army left, like migratory birds. It has been four years since the army of 100,000 dogs went to the south of the Yangtze River.

In four years, in just a flick of a finger, Yangzhou sent away the important civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and fled south of the river.

In front of the Mingyue Pavilion in Yangzhou, there was a master and a servant in the autumn. The comprador couldn't help but look at the two. He saw that the young literati was full of extravagance, but he was in his twenties, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a necklace on his neck. wolf tooth. Behind him, a tall, powerful guard with his neck bare, dressed as a barbarian, wearing a pair of moccasin boots, his upper body showing his collarbone and chest, and a jade on his wrist, standing under the porch, holding his arms to look at the people outside the house. A cylinder.

"Two years ago, after the imperial court moved northwards, I can't say that the land price is cheaper." The comprador said, "But this house was originally owned by the Qiao family... You think it should be furnished inside..."

"You don't need to say it." You Miao said casually, this is Qiao Rong's former mansion, and he naturally knows how much it is worth. He can only say that the comprador dare not knock him indiscriminately, but it is not cheap, and immediately said to Li Zhifeng. : "Hey! Your Majesty! Give me money! What are you doing standing there?"

The comprador was taken aback, can you shout this? Just when this kid was joking, I saw the Hu Ren man come over, take out a small bag from his waist, and sprinkle it on the plate, and the six night pearls suddenly lit up in the dark room!

The comprador was dumbfounded for a moment, and only listened to Li Zhifeng's instructions: "Eighty-two, I will reward you more."

The comprador hurriedly bowed and nodded, flattened the land deed, took the night pearl, and bowed to the two to retire.

Mingyue Pavilion has three floors in the back and three entrances in the front. There is a large dilapidated lotus pond in the middle courtyard, which spreads to the river bank. You Miao turned around, while Li Zhifeng followed You Miao without leaving an inch.

You Miao stopped in front of the back building, Li Zhifeng held You Miao's hand, and the two looked up together to look at the wooden plaque in front of the building.

Li Zhifeng: "The world is divided into three parts of the moonlit night, and two parts of the rogue is Yangzhou."

You Miao: "Your Majesty is finally satisfied?"

Li Zhifeng nodded and said to Youmiao, "Your Highness, please."

You Miao looked at Li Zhifeng angrily, raised his foot and kicked him. Li Zhifeng knew what he wanted to do, but as soon as You Miao lifted his leg, Li Zhifeng locked his ankle. Shouting: "Let me go!"

Li Zhifeng smiled suddenly, didn't let go, and dragged You Miao towards him. The two were like children, jumping around in the courtyard. In the end, Li Zhifeng slapped You Miao in his arms, went into the back building, and walked up quickly.

The sky was the same color, and the sky was clear. You Miao sneezed. The Mingyue Pavilion had been left unattended for nearly half a year. Li Zhifeng put You Miao on the couch, wiped the low table, shook the fire and made the stove to boil water, untied the burden on his back, took out a box of autumn tea, and the two of them sat on the couch with their backs to the window, ready to make a cup of tea. tea drink.

You Miao wiped the ashes on the short case, and Li Zhifeng said, "Have a cup of tea, and then start cleaning up. You sit down."

You Miao traveled from Liaodong to Jiangnan for more than half a month, and only spoke to Li Zhifeng today. The reason is that after bringing the Central Committee home last year, the tribes outside the Great Wall all wanted to marry the Prince of Quanrong. According to You Miao, Zhongyang was still young, so he didn't have to get married so early. Li Zhifeng neither wanted to save face, nor was he willing to marry other clans, so he had to let the messenger live in Liaodong City first, and then send him back in autumn.

As a result, the people who came to have a kiss suddenly left the center and ignored it. Judging from the intention, it was actually trying to climb Li Zhifeng, the king of the Rong Dynasty, who was in his prime.

Then You Miao had a lot of trouble with Li Zhifeng because of this princess and that princess. Every day in the palace, You Miao was arguing with Li Zhifeng, but Li Zhifeng was very patient.

In the end, You Miao got tired of trouble, and found that the envoy who said she was close brought out a portrait—the princess had just turned three years old, so she had to keep her mouth shut. After the autumn season, Li Zhifeng summoned all the important officials and the eldest son Chongyang, and announced one thing in front of everyone, with only three sentences.

"Three things, one: I'm not a good king." Li Zhifeng poured wine into the wine bowls of Quanrong, Han Wenchen, and military attachés one by one: "I will leave Liaodong tomorrow."

Everyone was suddenly dumbfounded, You Miao only had no wine bowl in his hand, and vaguely felt that Li Zhifeng seemed to be angry.

"Second: the central government is the crown prince, and everyone supervises the country and assists the government, what will be done."

"Third: tomorrow morning, I will go south with the lord. The century-old peace talks with the Han people cannot be abolished, unless they beat us first. Respect the heaven and earth, the human world, and the wolf of the gods. Everyone drink, there will be a period later." Li Zhifeng said lightly, and said: After finishing the bowl of wine, he threw the wine bowl on the ground, turned around and spread his hands towards You Miao.

You Miao: "… "

Then, regardless of what they said, Li Zhifeng carried a burden, changed into hunting boots and coats, mounted his horse, and took You Miao with him. He left Liaodong early the next morning and left.

You Miao didn't seem to be angry when he saw Li Zhifeng, but he felt a little embarrassed as he walked.

"It's my fault." You Miao said, "It's better to go back."

Li Zhifeng replied: "If you don't go back, it will be four years in the blink of an eye. Everything that needs to be done has been done. Where is there any concern?"

You Miao: "You really don't have any worries anymore?"

Li Zhifeng's broad and strong chest pressed against You Miao's back, and the voice seemed to come from his heart: "You, drive!"

Jianma entered Guanbei Road and headed southwards between the autumn sky and the maple forest.

After returning to Jiangzhou, You Miao wanted to go back to the villa, but Li Zhifeng did not want to go back. He only said to come to Yangzhou to see. You Miao knew that he did not want to live in the villa. With ease, he walked around the city, and at a glance saw the Mingyue Building of that year—a property purchased by the Qiao family before Qiao Rong entered the palace.

When there was a famine in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qiao family sold the place in order to raise funds for the imperial court, and later scholars returned to the north. One night, when he was staying here, Li Zhifeng rushed back to Jiangnan after thousands of miles, and the two stayed here for a long time, which really brought back memories.

Looking at Li Zhifeng's eyes, You Miao knew what he was thinking, so he decided to re-buy Mingyuelou as his home in Jiangnan.

Li Zhifeng boiled water, brewed tea, and placed it in front of You Miao. You Miao picked up the teacup and placed it in front of Li Zhifeng.

Li Zhifeng pushed it over, You Miao pushed it back again, Li Zhifeng had a slight smile on his mouth, and finally stopped pushing and picked up the teacup and drank it. The meaning of the first cup of tea after entering the house is obvious, whoever drinks it will be in charge.

"The third child has been staring at him for all these years." Li Zhifeng said casually after drinking tea, "After a few days, I will come to the door again."

You Miao: "He's not an immortal. He doesn't have such tricks, so he's always thinking about what he does?"

Li Zhifeng put down the empty cup, filled it up, put it in front of You Miao, got up and pressed his shoulders, moved his arms, turned his head to the side, made a noise in his neck, and went out to take care.

You Miao: "Can't you ask someone to do it?"

Li Zhifeng: "Don't worry, the strength you used at night is reserved for you."

You Miao: "… "

You Miao only found it funny. Leaning against the window, watching Li Zhifeng cleaning up under the porch, he remembered a letter sent by the imperial court not long ago. Overseas, Japanese pirates have been rampant in Yangzhou in recent years. , Li Zhifeng returned to Yangzhou, and he couldn't stand it any longer.

If the court re-enables Li Zhifeng, it is impossible to say that there will be another bloody storm, but Zhao Chao's meaning is very obvious. From the East China Sea to Liaodong, Tianqi and Quanrong will die. Why choose Yangzhou, Li Zhifeng should already know.

"Hey!" You Miao shouted again.

Li Zhifeng said in the courtyard, "What?"

You Miao: "Are you making up your mind to go out?"

Li Zhifeng was a little confused, straightened up, glanced at You Miao in the yard, holding a rusty long knife in his hand, tried a few times, returned to the sheath, and said to himself: "Being a door-to-door son-in-law, naturally only I can work."

You Miao burst into laughter, while Li Zhifeng walked away indifferently.

You Miao watched Li Zhifeng walking around in the yard, coming in and going out again. The autumn sun shone through the window, and the smell of dry grass made you sleepy. .

"Big... big brother?"

In the dream, Nie Dan walked in from outside the room, sat beside him, and stared at You Miao with a smile.

You Miao held the cup and was a little overwhelmed. Nie Dan took two cups, touched You Miao, and drank it himself.

Nie Dan: "You're back?"

You Miao: "I'm back, it's not too long, why do I always feel that the past few years have gone by longer than before."

Nie Dan: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Now that you're back, I'll stay here and stay here. There's still a war at the seaside, so the second brother needs to pay more attention."

You Miao was halfway through drinking and just wanted to throw the cup away and said bitterly, "You just want to coax him to help you fight!"

Nie Dan laughed, but didn't speak, and after a while he put the cup on the table.

"You have a lot of things to do in your life, and the story is far from over." Nie Dan said seriously: "Why spend your whole life outside the Great Wall? It's time to come back in four years."

You Miao didn't speak, and quietly looked at the courtyard, the wind was blowing.

Nie Dan: "Fourth brother, ask yourself, what is the most impressive thing about Sanado over the years?"

You Miao: "My family is his family, my clan is his clan."

Nie Dan smiled again, nodded, and after a while, You Miao turned his head again, and suddenly saw Nie Dan disappear into a gust of wind and disappear by the side of the desk.

Li Zhifeng gently squeezed the face of the downstream Miao, You Miao woke up not long after falling asleep.

"The water is ready," Li Zhifeng said.

You Miao: "?"

Li Zhifeng hugged You Miao and walked towards the side compartment. You Miao was drowsy and saw that there was hot water in the tub. The two hadn't showered on the road for two days. After Li Zhifeng cleaned up for You Miao, let him After soaking in, he pulled on his hunting robe and stepped in with his long legs.

"I dreamed of big brother." You Miao leaned against Li Zhifeng's chest, and the two looked out the window together at Qiu Ri and Youyou Baiyun.

"Teach me how to fight?" Li Zhifeng said casually.

You Miao replied: "I always feel that there are a lot of things that haven't been done yet, that's all, do you like Jiangnan?"

Li Zhifeng: "The emperor is gone, it's okay to live here."

You Miao laughed, and Li Zhifeng said, "I will take you to a play on the boat at night."

You Miao immediately said, "Good!"

In the evening, Li Zhifeng was only wrapped in a brocade embroidered robe, and the inside was empty, while You Miao was wearing a corset. The Slender West Lake was full of colorful and radiant flower boats. The boatman put down the curtains, and Li Zhifeng sat and ate small dishes. After You Miao played two lutes, he went into Li Zhifeng's arms.

Li Zhifeng calmly untied his belt, opened his robe, and the two hugged each other, skin-to-skin.

"General, when are you going to go out?" You Miao said with a smile.

"Admiral is on the expedition, are you following?" Li Zhifeng asked.

You Miao: "Well... that's natural, you have to watch it carefully."

Li Zhifeng said, "Okay, let's write a letter to the third son of the emperor. Guess he is like an ant on a hot pot. He has waited too long."

You Miao laughed, remembering Zhao Chao, who was far away in the Central Plains, and looked up at the full moon in the sky, only to know what Zhao Chao's expression was when he received the letter of their return.
