When the Western Expedition Army returned, the city and outside, and even the entire northern part were in a lively atmosphere. The streets and alleys were filled with shadows of people. The vendors selling food watched the food in the steamer, and the food in the pot was constantly decreasing, and their faces were almost unable to recover from their original state. In this way, the snow in winter would not feel cold. Instead, I hope that today would be longer.

Soon, the army headed towards the lieutenant colonel field in the city, away from the voices, but many people still rushed over, looking at the densely packed army in the school field standing there motionless, and couldn't help but whisper.

"It's such a cold day, aren't they standing there cold?"

"...I don't know, this is the army of tigers and wolves. Can it be compared with those county soldiers who are trembling with coldness just a little cold?"

"I heard that the west side is cold, and even the saliva is frozen into ice. Maybe the coldness here is nothing... I want me to see, it can kill the Western countries into a river, kill several emperors, and why did the governor just want to get an emperor to come to the dangdang."

"...You dare to say this, be careful to lose your head."

Amid the buzzing and noisy voices, there were still a few streets away from the mansion. Gongsun Zheng and Dongfang Yu ran back panting. Jian Shuo, the mansion's chief manager, smiled and directed the maids. The servants were decorated with lights everywhere. The heart of the landlord came back. His waist was straight and he scolded a few hoarse and sharply. When he saw the eldest son who came back from outside, he took steps to meet him.

"Young Master, where have you gone? Let me find a good job. The master has just returned and I will go to the schoolyard to teach the soldiers later. When I come back, I will probably recruit you to take the first master to take the exam. Don't run around anymore."

Gongsun Zheng said "ah" and smiled embarrassedly: "My father came back first, then... I'll go back to the side yard to wait for him."

As he said that, he pulled the young man next to him, and the two of them walked and said, "Brother, what do you think about my father's school exam later? Please think about it for me..."

The words followed the two of them around the corner of the corridor and disappeared. Jian Shuo smiled and watched them leave. Then he saw that some servants were slowing down a little, and his face suddenly became cold: "If you don't eat, the family will give you enough food before you work... or don't want to eat tonight?" Then he turned around and attracted his confidant: "Give me instructions immediately, feed the master's beloved horse, and wait for another one, and use it soon, and your legs are quicker!"

Backyard main room.

Under the thick snow-covered eaves, a maid entered the room with a basin of hot water and placed it on the rack. She bent and left. Before leaving, she quietly brought the door and stood outside waiting for the summons.

The wind and snow were already a little weaker, and the cold wind squeezed into the gap in the window frame. The candlelight lit in the house shook gently. Cai Yan, who was wearing only underwear, hugged in the quilt, blinked his eyelashes at the man who had taken a hot bath from the screen. Then he stood up, put down his ankles, put on the fleece boots on the ground, took a handful of small cuts to trim the messy beard, and gently pulled off a few white beards inside with his weak and fair hands.

"Husband, I have been worrying a lot in the past seven years..." Cai Yan trimmed his beard, picked up a wooden comb and combed the man's long hair from top to bottom. When he saw a few strands of white hair mixed in it, his nose felt a little sore, "... There are many on his head. You can't finish the big and small things in the army alone, and Ren Hongchang, why didn't he take good care of you? I'll go over and question it later."

In the bright bronze mirror, Gongsun Zhi sat upright there and closed his eyes to rest. When he heard his wife's words, he whispered: "She has not come back and will not come back for the time being. This woman found something that interests her. Now she is taking advantage of the chaos in Central Asia to spread her Moyun Sect everywhere. This is also good, at least the family is much quieter."

"When will she come back?" Cai Yan stopped the comb, looked at the man in the bronze mirror, and leaned gently against his ear, "...By the way, my husband went there, did you see Stephanie? She is still a student of my concubine. She is determined to do big things, and she doesn't know if she is doing well."

Gongsun Zhi opened his eyes.

"Hongchang may come back in one or two years, or he may come back and sit for a while before leaving." After a moment, he held his wife's hand holding the wooden comb and pulled it in front of him, "As for Stephanie... I don't want to lie to you because of her husband."

Cai Yan blinked his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and she said, "I have been yours for the rest of my life, so what else can I cheat on me?" Gongsun Zhi's voice also sounded at the same time: "Kill her for my husband..."

Gongsun Zhi did not intend to hide the person beside him, and told her the matter in full. Although Cai Yan also experienced many things, the complex twists and turns were all confused and smiled bitterly: "Maybe this is her life...but at least, she still has a son, and she will be chased in the future."

"Well, I think this is the best, too."

Gongsun Zhi held her hand and patted her gently, then got up and put on a cloak, opened the door, the wind and snow blew in, landed on the floor, and he walked: "...I have to go there on the other side of the schoolyard and come back to have dinner in the evening."

After saying that, he led a group of wolf cavalry guards through the heavy snow.

*******

On the school ground, snowflakes accumulated on people's shoulders, and above the heads, the thick air spurted out of the war horses floated up in white. Thousands of soldiers stood neatly, with plush built in armor and gloves not making them feel much colder. Instead, some of the people watching from afar could not stand it and left, leaving only a part of their purposeful sight left on the school ground.

Soon after, hundreds of cavalry escorted a carriage from the end of the street to come here.

After someone spread the news, they parked in several carriages near the school grounds. A large number of civil servants, including Li Ru, Wang Lie, and Bing Yuan, rubbed their hands down, and rushed towards the slowly docking carriages, and bowed together: "We'll pay our respects to the governor."

"You go back to the carriage first, the soldiers today are important."

Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and sent them back first, leading Dian Wei, Li Ke and his guards walked around the side of the school ground in a row. The moment they walked up to the platform, thousands of figures below, ringing weapons, and the sound of metal and iron fighting shocked the sky for a moment.

"...When the world was in chaos, the Qin soldiers and horses of Wuyuan County entered the country and killed our Han people. Zhang and Yang fought to the death, so that our elite Han soldiers could go to the west, killing the enemy chiefs' heads, and demonstrating the Han soldiers' attacks."

The wind and snow roared, and the pillar of fire swayed violently. On the platform, the tall wolf king took out a crown and held it under the sky light of the wind and snow. It was something that Severu had worn. At one moment, he threw it out and flew high into the sky.

"... Since the Wu of Han Dynasty, who dares to pick up the tiger beards of Han people, they have returned them ten times or a hundred times. They have taken swords and weapons to hurt them with great enthusiasm. They are afraid of them and beat them to their homes and tell these people that those who violate the powerful Han will be punished even if they are far away."

The flipped crown fell into the brazier in the instant, splashing spots of Mars.

"at the same time!"

Gongsun Zhi walked to the front of the platform, stretched out his arms, and flapped his cloak, just like the wolf king in front of a group of wolves. "After the spring, review the three armies and let those who are ulterior motives in the world see what an army that comes out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and what is an elite of a hundred battles."

Then, the voice roared in the wind: "Tell them that as long as we want it, they are a group of lambs in the circle!!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The faces covered with snowflakes were full of roaring and roaring, and the murderous aura seemed to condense into a real object. Countless heavy snow falling in the sky were shattered and splashed. The people watching from afar were shocked by the thunderous roars.

In March of the 14th year of Jian'an, the North Wolf King inspected the three armies.
