"Oh, is this a fever? Fat brother, show me quickly!" Ling'er said.
"Every festive season, I miss my loved ones even more." The fat man said, "Which one do you want to kiss? Danqiu, Nanqiao, Ruyun, Laner, or Tiantang?"
"Fat man, what is Master Mo's position in the world?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"He is of the same generation as my second grandfather, and one generation above Master Ciyun." The fat man said, "Why do you ask this?"
"Master Mo and I have become sworn brothers." Xiao Chen said depressedly, "We have become brothers."
"Damn it, you really have a fever?" The fat man also stretched out his big hand to touch his forehead.
Otherwise, why are you still talking nonsense?
"It's true." Xiao Chen stretched out his palm with a fresh wound, "We were allied by blood just now."
Plop! The fat man fainted and fell to the ground.
Mo was so anxious to return home that he reluctantly stayed for two more days. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, he said he would leave anyway.
In fact, he just cares about the Snow Mountain Dragon Girl. Xiao Chen, the sworn brother, is really very affectionate.
After sending Mo Sohe He away, I had to have a good talk with the old man. The old man had not paid attention to him in the past few days since the New Year. It seemed that he was really angry.
"What are you doing here?" He still didn't look good when he saw Xiao Chen.
"I want a red envelope." Xiao Chen said, "I heard from Ling'er and the others that everyone has one, but they didn't give it to me. What do you mean, old man?"
"That wasn't given by me, it was given by Yue'er. If you ask her, you should go." Chen Jisheng said.
"Can I tell you everything I do when I go out from now on?" Of course Xiao Chen didn't come here to ask for a red envelope, but to apologize.
"It's okay for you to go to Yu Ji. This is a serious matter, and it's your turn to resolve it. It's okay for you to go without troops, because I think Agadi is definitely not a fool, and he won't really wrongly accuse you..." Chen Jisheng
road.
"I just said that you are sensible, old man!" Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"But you shouldn't leave without saying a word. The situation in Yanyun is so tense now. Everyone's hearts are tense. If something happens to you at this time, causing people's hearts to be in chaos...then...
It’s out of control.”
"You came back this year. If you don't come back, everyone will not be able to see you when they come to greet you on the first day of the new year. Do you think they are panic? That year, Li Wanjiang caught a cold during the New Year and couldn't get out of bed.
But when a group of ministers went to worship at the beginning of the new year, they had to show their faces even if they had to carry it. Why? I’m afraid that people’s hearts will be unstable.”
"I also know that you are unhappy, and I also know that you are afraid that I will worry, but the more you act like this, the more worried I am. Xiao Chen, if you want to achieve great things, you must be responsible, but you must also let go when you should.
.”
"Old man, do you think Yizhou's today will be our Yanyun's tomorrow?" Xiao Chen said suddenly.
"Haha, you finally said it!" Chen Jisheng said, "I knew this was what was weighing on your heart. You are afraid that those of us who follow you will end up like Tianxuanhui, right?
"
"I didn't want to do this at the beginning, but then I started doing it and felt like I could do it. But now I suddenly feel like I can't do it in the end. But at this point, I can't do it anymore.
...Now I know what it means to be unable to get off the tiger." Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, "Master, am I a worthless loser?"
Xiao Chen would only say this to Chen Jisheng.
"If you were a loser, there would be no heroes in the world!" Chen Jisheng slapped the table, his white eyebrows flying sideways.
"I never thought I was a hero, I'm just a little clever." Xiao Chen felt that the old man was comforting him.
"You have a little cleverness and great wisdom." Chen Jisheng said, "You are courageous in doing things, able to make prompt decisions, fearless when encountering dangers, and can always turn danger into safety, but you often regret it afterwards. You are tenacious and tolerant, able to bend and stretch, and can hardly survive any setbacks.
It hits you, but when everything goes well for you, you become scared again."
To put it bluntly, it means worrying about gains and losses.
Xiao Chen didn't care about his own success. He had nothing to begin with, and he wasn't greedy for glory and wealth. Every step he took was forced by the situation and he couldn't help it.
If the big thing fails, he has plenty of escape options. Now he is a flying dragon in the sky, and he can fly wherever he wants.
But where should Yanyun County go with so many people, so many soldiers, and so many officials who followed and trusted him?
Just like Xiao Xinghan who is far away in Yizhou, he will definitely be able to escape easily, but those who follow him are afraid that none of them will survive!
He has been operating in Yizhou for many years. The people in Yizhou don't know that there is an emperor of Zhou Dynasty, they only know that he is the chief rudder. Moreover, the population of Yizhou is not large, and every household must have someone who is fighting in the army. Therefore, in Li Wanjiang's opinion,
Everyone in Yizhou is a traitor!
As the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?
When the war is over, at least twenty-three out of ten people in Yizhou will die!
Yizhou is like this, and Yanyun must be like this.
Xiao Chen woke up from nightmares many times, always covered in cold sweat.
Because if Yan Yun really has such a day, then he is the initiator and the culprit!
This is why he has been restless, depressed and stressed these days.
Now that the old man had said it out loud, a huge barrier in his heart suddenly fell to the ground, at least he was no longer carrying it...
The one who knows me is the old man!
I can't explain it myself, but you see it so clearly, old man!
"So Ouyang Cui said that your kid is 'born in sorrow and dies in happiness'. To put it simply, your kid has to worry about his life. In the future, don't always think about being carefree and carefree. That's all with you.
It's irrelevant, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible." Chen Jisheng said.
"Can't we have both?" Xiao Chen said with a bitter face.
"Yes, it means enjoying the joy in the midst of suffering." Chen Jisheng said, "But now you are doing the suffering in the midst of joy."
"I'm done, old man!" Xiao Chen felt that the person who knew him best was definitely not him, but the old man.
But I've been depressed for such a long time, why didn't you talk to me earlier?
"Haha, you can't bear this little pain, so how can you bear the pain in the future?" Chen Jisheng said.
"Old man, do you think we can just occupy a corner of Yanyun?" Xiao Chen said, "As long as we seize Yanyun Pass, stick to Shunfeng Port, unite with Murong Heng, and ally with the Russian state, we will not care about the affairs of the world and make a fortune in silence.
, I don’t think there is any problem in maintaining peace for decades.”
"Oh? You think so?" Chen Jisheng frowned.
"That's what I thought..." Xiao Chen said, "Isn't this just something you said casually to the old man?"
"Then I can tell you that if this is the case, it will not take more than a few decades. Within three years, our Yanyun will be in chaos, and within five years, we will be completely wiped out by Li Wanjiang." Chen Jisheng said, "Even if you still
If we can barely sustain it for a few more years, it will be a situation where everyone is betrayed and separated from their relatives, and there are internal and external troubles.”
