One month after the signing of the peace agreement with Daqi, the emperor finally ordered Yan Chengli and Mu Chen to return to Beijing. Along with them were Han Feng, Nan Jiyun and a general surnamed Han.
After dinner, the soldiers set out for new year's Eve.
The people of Yanmen pass urged them to stay for more time and attend their new year's bonfire party. However, all the officers and soldiers missed their family members very much and were eager to go back as soon as possible, so they refused to stay. From the northwest to the capital, they rode alone. If it was fast, it would take half a month to get there, if it was slow, it would take 30 days. However, the ordinary marching speed needed one More than months.
In order to return as soon as possible, Mu Chen handed the troops back to the capital before the emperor ordered him. He and Yan Chengli rushed back to the capital.
"Is he going too far to throw all the mess to you and go back first?" At night, the army camped at the edge of the forest outside the city. Nan Jiyun took the roast chicken leg from the cold wind and said discontentedly.
When he heard Nan Jiyun fight against injustice for himself, cold wind was very happy, but he didn't want him to say so about Mu Chen.
"The Lord and the young master have something to do before they leave the army." Although Mu Chen didn't tell him, according to his understanding of Mu Chen, he knew that he must have other tasks to perform before he left.
"Something to do? Is it important to go back with my daughter-in-law and son? " South Ji cloud disdains cold hum.
Cold wind knew that he was holding injustice for himself. He laughed and reached for his shoulder and let his head rest on his shoulder. "Don't be angry. The young master is not here. Even if you are angry, it's meaningless."
"Who said I was angry?" Nan Jiyun kicked his feet unsatisfactorily, "I'm just not worth it for you, you wood."
"Yes, yes, yes." The cold wind rushed to answer the way, even he reached out and knocked on his head.
His gentle appearance makes Nan Jiyun feel strange. When did the cold wind become so smart? In the past, he was either silent or retorted that Mu Chen was not like that. Now he is really sensible to follow him.
Ji Ji Nan thinks that we can't get along with him again. If we don't agree with him, we can't agree with him
Mention this matter, the cold wind can't help but feel some headache, temple suddenly jump, there is an indescribable sense of powerlessness in the heart, in the two people's feelings, he always feel as if he did not have any strength, or even any attitude, since then, it is Nan Jiyun's efforts to fight against his parents, strive for the opportunity to be together.
In my mind, I think of the conversation with zhongyihou. What can he bring to him? Ji Nan, in order to ensure his happiness, is willing to be abandoned with the world? Can he really love Nan Jiyun all his life? Cold wind was asked nothing to say, his identity is not as high as Nan Jiyun, his achievements are not as high as Nan Jiyun, he even does not know whether he can let Nan Jiyun live a stable life without worry and clothing.
For a while, he was a little confused, and his inner firmness suddenly wavered in front of these practical problems. He felt very powerless, as if the thing he wanted most was in front of him, but he could not grasp anything because of his lack of strength.
He turned his head and looked at Jiyun in the south. The latter had just finished chicken legs and was washing his hands with the water in the kettle. His smile, with the taste of happiness, could illuminate his whole world like the sun.
Every time he saw his smile, the cold wind felt very relieved. In order to protect the smile, he felt that he could overcome any difficulties.
The doubt cloud in my heart was blown away suddenly. The cold wind lowered his head and kissed the forehead of Ji Yun in the south. It was warm and touching.
Let Nan Jiyun raise his head, stare at him, but see the cold wind mouth, happy smile.
"I'm happy." He hugged him, "after returning to Beijing, accompany me to see your parents, I will let them rest assured and give you to me."
South Ji cloud some reaction does not come over, the cold wind's attitude has become too fast, just clearly very hesitant, how just a moment to change his mind? Is it for fear that he will be angry? Nan Jiyun raised his head and looked at the cold wind's face seriously. His expression was calm and his eyes were very divine. He didn't mean to cater to him, but he really had this intention. He suddenly felt very happy and happily laughed and leaned against his arms.
"Well, don't go back on it."
"No
If you want something, you must hold it tightly in your hand. No matter what other people think and how embarrassed they are, he just wants to be with him. I don't know what happened to the cold wind, but nanjiyun felt that the cold wind at this moment was very warm.
As the cold wind guessed, Yan Chengli and Mu Chen did receive a letter from the emperor from flying pigeons before they left the army and returned to Beijing in advance.
On the way back to Beijing, they were intercepted by killers. More than a dozen killers came fiercely. All kinds of poisonous weapons seemed to be determined to make them return to Beijing. The emperor seemed to have foreseen this situation for a long time. He secretly sent secret guards to help them. There were a dozen killers. Nine of them died, three were captured alive, and the others ran away. These killers are all professional killers. They are dead men. Their teeth are very tight. Before they ask questions, they bite the poison bag in their mouth and die.They didn't get any effective information from the enemy, but from their clothes and the marks on their weapons, they still tracked down some clues. These killers are Dali killers with a long history and lurking in Dayan. The enemy really spent a lot of effort to create civil strife in Dayan.
Let the dark guard first take the killer's body back to the capital, while Yan Chengli and Mu Chen stayed in the nearest town for days to make sure that the enemy had not chased him again before they rushed back to the capital.
Yan Chengli and Mu Chen returned to the capital, which happened to be the Lantern Festival. Before the capital city had just experienced a war, the people in the city probably made the new year very lively in order to sweep away the bad luck. Everywhere, lights and decorations were put on, lions and dragons were danced, and people were singing and laughing.
The prefectural palace was also very lively. Shen Jingli asked people to set up a stage in the garden, and then asked people, individuals or groups to perform a program to see the popularity of the program and give rewards.
In order to enliven the atmosphere, Shen Jingli arranged two hosts like a modern stage performance, and told them the modern crosstalk and sketch, so that they could work hard in this respect.
This arrangement not only allows people to show themselves, but also provides them with extra income. Therefore, the people in the prefectures' mansion are in high spirits. Since the Spring Festival, they have been thinking about the program and secretly rehearsing.
No matter where you pass by during the Spring Festival, you can see people secretly practicing. The atmosphere in the mansion is very relaxed and cheerful. In this atmosphere, even xun'er is very enthusiastic and is going to perform with Huaixin. Shen Jingli doesn't stop him. He only says that as long as his program is interesting, let him perform on the stage.
Xun'er is very happy. He talks with Shen Jingli on his back every day. His mysterious appearance makes Shen Jingli feel interesting.
This is a program that people have never experienced before, so we are all looking forward to having a good time during the Lantern Festival.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Shen Jingli had the lanterns hung early and arranged the stage. In the evening, people would light up the lanterns and start the party carnival.
When Mu Chen got home, he saw red lanterns hanging outside the door, with the sign of Nanping Prefecture mansion, which lit up the road outside. Even the trees in the alley nearby were hung with them, sending a ray of light to those who wanted to take a shortcut.
The family seems to have been actively preparing for the Lantern Festival, but to his dissatisfaction, the door is closed, he knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door, the guard actually did not seriously guard the gate?
With this kind of displeasure, he climbed over the wall to enter the mansion, but heard the music of joy coming from the garden. He walked over, and before entering the door, he was found by Xu Yanlin, sitting on the roof of the house. He whistled at him and asked him to go up.
Mu Chen thought about it for a moment, and then he accepted his invitation. He showed his lightness skills and went to Xu Yanlin's side.
"What's the matter? Why doesn't the porter guard at the door Dereliction of duty will sell them tomorrow.
"I have to ask your daughter-in-law." Xu Yanlin pulled him to sit down. "Sit quietly and watch it. It's very interesting."
Wu Song's fighting tiger is on the stage. Shen Jingli is asked to write the script. However, because the people have not received formal training, and their acting skills are not up to standard, and Shen Jingli requires them to act funny, this play of Wu Song's fighting tiger is particularly lively, especially the old tiger, which is absolutely eye-catching. Wu Song is strongly provoked and the scene amusingly lets the audience watch The onlookers laughed.
Mu Chen didn't see Wu Song beating a tiger, so he didn't know what was going on. He only saw a man and a tiger circling around, and then he heard Shen Jingli's happy laughter.
"What's going on next? Why does Jingli smile so happily Mu Chen sat down with his eyes wrapped around Shen Jingli's body. Looking at him laughing, he felt very warm and felt like he was finally home.
"Wu Song beat a tiger, haven't you seen it?" Xu Yanlin handed a picture book to Mu Chen, "your son can retell the whole story, but you haven't read it?"
"A picture album of Jing Li's paintings?" He didn't think it was worth his time to read this kind of story telling. However, when he opened the storybook and read the story with the words beside it, he thought it was a good story.
"How does your daughter-in-law grow her head? I know so many interesting stories. Not only children like to listen to these stories, but also adults like to hear them... "
"You want to sell it again?" It was obvious that he was not well intentioned.
"No, I've already done it." He has always been ahead of others in making money.
Mu Chen took a deep look at him, "I'll let you manage the account department later, and the Treasury will certainly not be empty."
Is that a compliment? Xu Yanlin's gritting teeth is obviously praising him. How can he say it from Mu 14's mouth, but it has a kind of ironic taste?
