For these two nights, Yang Xuan slept alone.

In the middle of the night, a slight voice came from outside, "Lang Jun, the time has come."

Yang Xuan opened his eyes and said, "I understand."

Get up, wash up, and then eat a dry biscuit without adding anything.

This is his breakfast.

Then he changed into full official uniform.

"We also need to offer sacrifices at home," he continued.

"Don't worry." Zhou Ning said, "The incense and candles are all ready."

"Aye!"

Yang Xuan turned around and saw that A Liang had also changed into a serious robe, looking very restrained.

Even when he walked out of the house, Yang Xuan still remembered A Liang's appearance.

Cute and funny.

"Mr. Lang!"

Han Ji and others were waiting outside the door.

"Are you all ready?" Yang Xuan stood on the steps and looked at his subordinates.

This is the day he has been waiting for.

Han Ji bowed and said, "Okay."

Yang Xuan did not ride a horse, but walked.

Liu Qing and others followed behind.

Cao Ying is also there, and this time he will wait until the sacrifice is completed before going back.

"Old Cao!"

Liu Qing waved, and Cao Ying stepped forward and walked side by side with him.

"Do you want to come to Tao County?"

Cao Ying shook her head and said, "I will do whatever I want."

Even if he wants to challenge a brick, he still has some awareness.

Liu Qing smiled and said, "That's fine."

Is the old man testing me?

Cao Ying felt like she was seeing a ghost.

"You feel like you are a veteran, and you are suddenly being taught a lesson by a newcomer, don't you feel comfortable?" The old thief came up and finished the last attack without showing any expression.

Cao Ying was not good at planning, but good at handling affairs, so after Han Ji arrived, he completely broke up with the profession of counselor.

Now in Chenzhou, with Lu Qiang above and Zhen Siwen below, Cao Ying's life is not easy.

"It's all for the great cause!" Cao Ying said calmly.

"My heart feels sour!" The old thief has been ridiculed by Cao Ying countless times in the past. Now that he has the opportunity, there is no reason not to retaliate.

If Cao Ying was in the past, he would immediately retort when he heard this, but today he was silent.

Later, the old thief came over looking for an opportunity and told Yang Xuan about Cao Ying's reaction.

"knew."

Cao Ying is a veteran and is loyal to him, which can be regarded as a cornerstone of his great cause.

But Cao Ying's shortcomings are equally prominent: she is a bit narrow-minded and thinks too highly of herself.

Liu Qing asked: "Did you deliberately leave him in Chenzhou?"

"Yes!" Yang Xuan nodded, "Lu Qiang is suppressing him at the top, and Zhen Siwen is fearless at the bottom. His life is not easy."

"Grind?"

Yang Xuan nodded, and Liu Qing looked back at the silent Cao Ying, thinking that this person was lucky enough to meet the generous Zitai.

After hard work, there is a rainbow!

Walking out of the alley, every household on both sides of the street came out. There was a table in front of the door with various incense burners placed on it.

A home can be without anything but an incense burner.

The incense burner is like the thing where ancestors ate.

I would rather starve to death than let my ancestors have nothing to eat.

This is a deep-rooted culture in the Central Plains.

"I've met the deputy envoy!"

The people saluted.

Yang Xuan nodded, and his heart suddenly moved.

When they were in Xiaohe Village, Yang Ding and Wang always talked about gods. They seemed pious, but at the end of the year, they really worshiped their ancestors.

The anniversary of Ye Niang's death, the Ghost Festival, the major solar terms, the New Year... are all dedicated to the ancestors.

What the people of the Central Plains believe in deep down is not gods, but ancestors.

In other words, the belief of the Central Plains people is their ancestors.

Where are the ancestors?

The ancestors are on the mountain, in the tomb, on the tombstone, in the ancestral hall, on the tablet...

As long as the mountain is still there, as long as the tomb is still there, as long as the ancestral hall is still there, as long as the tablets are still there... then, even though we are thousands of miles away, our soul is still caring about our hometown.

This is the root of the Central Plains!

The roots are there, and the cohesion of this nation is there.

When the roots are gone, the heart is also scattered.

"The major affairs of a country depend on military service and sacrifice." Yang Xuan had never understood this sentence so deeply.

Paying attention to war can ensure the security of homeland.

Paying attention to sacrifices can tie the hearts of the entire nation to this land. No matter where they go, they will never forget this land or their ancestors.

Cohesion!

Yang Xuan understood.

"This is a brilliant statement!" Liu Qing's eyes flashed, "In the service of military service and sacrifice, these words are sincere."

The sound of neat footsteps came from behind.

Puff puff puff!

The earth seemed to be trembling.

Rows of sergeants lined up neatly and followed Yang Xuan and others with steady steps.

The formation was very long, with those in front following Yang Xuan, and those behind still waiting to set off in the school grounds.

Outside the gate of Xinxue Xinshan, Ning Yayun and a group of disciples were waiting.

"The deputy envoy is already on his way."

"The deputy envoy is coming soon."

Disciples kept passing on news.

Zhong Hui was in a daze, "That boy, I still remember how he looked when he entered the Imperial College. He was just a silly young man. I didn't expect that! In a blink of an eye, he became the Lord of Northern Xinjiang."

Who would have thought!

When she saw Yang Xuan, Ning Yayun said: "Everyone is standing still."

Yang Xuan came over and asked, "Are you ready?"

Ning Yayun nodded, "Everything is ready."

The professors stood on both sides, Yang Xuan walked in first, followed by Ning Yayun and others.

Just like the stars circling the moon.

Countless soldiers lined up in neat formations and slowly walked to the mountain gate.

"Array up!"

Jiang Cunzhong shouted.

puff!

Everyone stamped their feet vigorously, and the gate outside the mountain gate said in horror: "It's like the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking."
