Chang Suining and Cui Jing walked out of the front hall together, and when they first walked to the corridor, they heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of loose horse hooves approaching from the other end of the corridor.
Soon, Chang Suining was able to see two of Cui Jing's followers, leading several horses.
Chang Suining paused and used the sparse lights in the corridor to distinguish.
When the two attendants saw Cui Jing, they understandingly took off the reins and bits of the three horses.
As soon as it was freed, the youngest horse immediately shook its fur, flicked its muzzle restlessly, and blew out hot steam.
It swung its hoofs and wanted to move forward, but saw that its father in front of it suddenly became motionless for some reason, staring uncertainly ahead.
Hey, what are you looking at?
It came forward curiously and looked forward with its idiot dad.
There were two people standing in front of them. At this moment, one of them made a tentative voice: "Huo Huo?"
Hearing this call, the brown and red horse's eyes widened, its ears immediately stood up, and it suddenly raised its front hooves and jumped, making a short hoot.
Chang Suining was now convinced, and shouted again with a smile: "Liuhuo!"
Without hesitation, Luo Huo ran towards her with his hooves raised, bouncing along the way, shaking his head and slapping his hooves excitedly, like a lion dancing.
Seeing this scene, Hui Qi stared, and his ears seemed to be ringing with the words that every time he was beaten wildly by his father, his mother used to persuade him to surrender and admit his mistakes - you know, your father, he has been on the battlefield since he was a child, fighting for the horse.
Proud, deep-tempered, unsmiling, and never bows his head.
But at this moment, dad clearly looks like a worthless, stupid dog!
The return date was hard to accept, so Da Da followed him to find out.
Luohuo ran to Chang Suining, held back his strength and put the horse's head against her shoulder.
Chang Suining hugged its neck with both hands.
Luo Huo made a whining sound from his mouth.
Hui Qi, who followed closely, had a stiff neck and a look of horror in his big eyes - what did he hear? Why did his old father scream with his throat?!
It took two more steps forward, and the moment it saw Chang Sui Ning, it suddenly realized, oh, it turns out to be this person.
The man also stretched out his hand towards it, wanting to touch its head.
But it's not as worthless as Dad.
Guiqi held his head high and took two steps back proudly.
The next moment, its proud horse's buttocks were suddenly pushed hard, pushing it forward again, and its head fell into the claws of that person.
The returning horse let out a dissatisfied breath, swung its tail behind it and suddenly pressed against its mother.
"Xiaoguiji, we meet again." Chang Suining rubbed its head and said with a smile.
Guiqi made a "chichi" sound from his nostrils.
Chang Suining praised: "So majestic, just as majestic as your father back then."
Guishi seemed to understand something, and the horse's neck was raised higher.
Luohuo couldn't stand the face of this traitor, so he kicked him - Your Highness wouldn't touch it, but touched this traitor instead. It was annoying! But this traitor didn't know how to cherish his blessings, so he wanted to beat him!
Call for return.
Chang Suining stood between father and son, tried to persuade Luo Huo, and took the opportunity to sell the favor: "Although a filial son is born from a stick, when the child is older, you still have to save some face for him outside."
Luohuo snorted twice and turned to rub his head into her palm.
Chang Suining looked at the maroon mare with strong bones but gentle and beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but ask Cui Jing: "...were they all stolen by the guards?"
Cui Jing said "Yeah": "If you want to steal, you will steal."
This was naturally in line with Chang Suining's joke. As he was the commander of the Xuance Army, he naturally had the final say over the ownership of the horses, and he would not be reduced to a horse thief.
Chang Suining: "Send them all to me?"
Cui Jing: "Do you want to refuse?"
Luo Huo looked at Chang Sui Ning longingly - you know, I left my mother when I was a child and followed you through life and death...
"It seems hard to refuse." Chang Suining raised his hand and used his sleeve to wipe away the rain and mist on Luohuo's white eyelashes. Luohuo closed his eyes and pressed his comfortable ears back, like a rabbit.
, let her wipe it.
"But I am very poor now." Chang Sui Ning said, "You will have to endure hardship if you follow me."
"It doesn't matter, I have saved some money for them over the years and will deliver them to you one day, so you don't have to worry about their food, clothing, and food." Cui Jing said matter-of-factly.
"Yet you still have to run around with me." Chang Suining looked at the old Liuhuo and said, "I originally planned to steal Liuhuo after I settled down."
Cui Jing also looked at Liuhuo: "Liuhuo has been fighting for half his life and is not used to being kept in captivity. Moreover, it has a fierce nature and does not recognize two masters. It is easy for others to restrain it. Although it has been well taken care of over the years, it is far from what it is now.
Such joy."
"So I think that for it, it can only be truly stable if it can follow you around."
Liuhuo is old, and every day she sees her becomes less and less. Things in the world are unpredictable. If we miss the last time together, it will be a pity for Liuhuo and her.
Luohuo lowered his head and rubbed the Yaori Sword in Chang Suining's hand. The sword was there, it was there, and His Highness was there. Everything seemed to be back to the past, which made it feel extremely stable and satisfied.
Chang Suining looked at this scene and slightly curved his lips: "You're right, I've made Liu Huo wait for too long."
It seems like we need to make more progress.
Looking at the Lihuo family, Chang Suining realized that he was now the one taking care of the family.
As the head of the family, she had to secure a stable place for retirement as soon as possible for her illustrious Lord Luohuo.
"I still don't know how to call the returning mother-in-law, but does she have a name?"
"Yes, four o'clock." Cui Jing replied.
"Four o'clock..." Chang Suining read it again, four o'clock, the return date - do you look forward to the return date at the four o'clock?
Hearing her chanting, "Four Seasons" also walked up to her.
Chang Suining smiled and touched its ears. Looking at the neatly arranged Luhuo family, Chang Suining felt very happy.
I met many old friends tonight. She is very rich and happy now.
In the past, when she was very happy or very unhappy, she would drink hard or have a good fight with others.
Nowadays, alcohol is off limits.
She turned her head and looked at Cui Jing: "Do you have your sword?"
Cui Jing nodded.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Can you help me try the sunrise?" Chang Suining raised the hand holding the sword to him, with a flying smile on his eyebrows:
"It just so happens that I also want to learn the swordsmanship of one or two of the current generals of the Xuance Mansion——"
Cui Jing took off the sword from under her cloak, held it in her hand, and clasped fists with her: "Then please give me some advice, Your Highness."
After more than ten years, the sun in her hands was unsheathed again. It was for him. This was his honor.
For a moment, the two stood facing each other and drew their swords at the same time.
The blade of the sword shines brightly in the sun.
The long sword in Cui Jing's hand has an ink-like blade.
I don’t know when it started raining again outside the corridor, and the raindrops formed lines.
Both of them are wearing green robes, one is light green and the other is dark green.
The light green girl is like a green bamboo, the sword light in her hand is like snow, chopping up the raindrops, carrying the rain and mist towards the young man.
The dark green young man is like a green cypress, and the sword light is as dark as an abyss. When he blocks with his sword, both sides arouse fierce sword energy.
The shadows of swords intertwined in the corridor, and the sound of the swords was like the whistling of the wind. The two men's physical skills were clever and steady, complementing each other and restraining each other. It was difficult to tell the winner for a moment.
Luohuo had led his wife and children to the entrance of the hall, and forced his son to watch the battle carefully.
This battle will last for two quarters of an hour.
Chang Suining sheathed her sword, her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and a few stray strands of hair stuck to her cheeks: "You win this time."
"It doesn't count." Cui Jing put the sword back into its sheath: "The winner is not determined."
It's just that she lacks strength and her physical endurance is not as good as his.
"If you continue to fight, you will definitely lose." Chang Suining was panting a little, holding his sword and sitting down on the railing to rest: "Lack of strength is also insufficient, and I am not someone who can't afford to lose."
"It's only been a year, and it's already extremely rare." Cui Jing came over, took the sword in her hand, picked up the scabbard on the side, put it into the sheath for her, and handed it back to her.
Bian told her: "Next time, you will definitely beat me."
Chang Suining raised his eyebrows: "I think so too."
The rainwater blows diagonally into the corridor, bringing with it the fragrance of spring mud and the vigorous atmosphere of flowers and plants growing.
When the rain stopped, Chang Suining and Cui Jing left the villa.
On the way out of the hospital, Luo Huo kept whispering in his son's ears, to the effect that he wanted to wink and seize the opportunity.
I wish I could cover my ears when I return.
After leaving the courtyard, Yuan Xiang led the horses for Cui Jing and Chang Suining.
Chang Sui Ning had just taken over the reins and was about to mount the horse when Hui Shi suddenly came forward and pushed the horse away, which was very domineering.
Speak well, it will not listen at all.
But if a horse wants to compete with it, then it will be very energetic!
As for a fierce horse, who doesn’t have a bit of a mean temper?
Guiqi kicked his hoof twice in the direction of Chang Suining to signal to her.
Chang Suining smiled and jumped on the horse.
When the time comes to return, I am like an arrow leaving the string, rushing forward.
The horse that had been pushed away by it stood there blankly.
It wasn't until Cui Jing got on the horse with a group of subordinates that he ran with him.
Luo Huo also ran after Kong, chasing Chang Sui Ning.
It quickly ran past the horse ridden by Cui Jing and others. Looking at the man in front of it, it seemed to see the majestic self again.
But it soon discovered that it could no longer run fast and could not catch up with the traitorous son, who was worthy of being his own son.
The horse's hooves splashed rain and mist, and seeing that the man in front of him was about to disappear as soon as he rode, Luo Huo slowed down in confusion. He was indeed old and could not catch up with the traitor, nor could he catch up with His Highness.
However, a moment later, it suddenly saw the person riding in front of it suddenly turning back and running towards it.
Changsui Ninglema looked at it with a smile.
"Lihuo, come quickly!" she said.
Luohuo immediately shook his fur with great energy and rushed forward.
Chang Sui Ning had been able to roughly control Gui Qi after running wildly on the road just now. For the rest of the road, she and Gui Qi walked hand in hand.
When the group of people returned to the Governor's Mansion, it was already midnight.
After separating from Cui Jing, Chang Suining personally handed over the Lihuo family to A Che and asked him to take good care of them.
After taking a hot bath, Chang Suining put on clean and soft clothes, got on the bed, put down the bed curtain, and quickly opened the quilt.
Hidden under the quilt was her Sunshine Sword.
This night, I would rather sleep with my sword in my arms and have a good night's sleep.
…
A few days later, an edict from the capital was delivered to Bianzhou.
On the edict, it can be seen that Long Yan was very happy. He first praised the achievements of Chang Sui Ning Xiaomin and other soldiers, and especially praised Chang Sui Ning's killing of Xu Zhengye.
Later, Li Xian was ordered to thoroughly investigate and clean up Xu Zheng's amateur party in Luoyang City, and Cui Jing was ordered to lead Xuance's army to guard Luoyang to ensure the stability of Luoyang City during this period.
In addition, after resting Xiao Min's army and repairing a sufficient number of warships, he and General Ningyuan Chang Sui Ning led the army back to Huainan Road, met with Chang Kuo, and jointly conquered Yangzhou, Jiangning and other cities and roads, and wiped them out as soon as possible
The remnants of Xu Zhengye in Jiangnan.
When this matter is over, you can lead the army back to the capital from Huainan Road. At that time, the court will reward all the meritorious soldiers based on their merits.
Chang Suining, Cui Jing, Xiao Min, and Li Xian accepted the order together.
Ordinarily, after receiving this edict, Chang Sui Ning should lead the army to leave Bianzhou with Xiao Min as soon as possible and rush to Huainan Road. Chang Sui Ning also intends to return to Jiangnan as soon as possible to take care of the remaining matters. This is also part of her plan.
s arrangement--
But an accident happened.
It rained heavily for several days in Bianzhou, making it impossible for the army to move.
At first, the heavy rain only blocked the way, making people anxious.
Chang Suining stood on the porch, looking at the rain like a basin, and gradually raised his eyebrows.
At this time, Yao Ran walked over quickly. Although he held an umbrella, most of his clothes were still wet.
She took out a letter from her lapel and handed it to Chang Suining: "General, this secret letter from the capital is from Uncle Ren."
Chang Suining quickly opened it and took a look.
It is an inexhaustible handwriting.
There were just a few lines of words on it, indicating that he had been observing the stars and changing wind directions during these days, and estimated that there might be floods in the Central Plains area. He knew that she was in Bianzhou at the moment, so he wrote to warn her in advance.
There is a date at the end of the letter. It was sent six days ago, when the heavy rain was just beginning to show up.
Chang Suining frowned and immediately went to see Governor Hu to remind and urge him to prepare for possible floods in the future.
Under the continuous rain, Hu Min had already ordered his subordinates to take some measures. They checked the old houses inside and outside the city or the mountain roads prone to landslides, but that was all. At this moment, Chang Suining came to find him in person and solemnly explained to him.
, Hu Min couldn't help but ask the reason.
"There is a letter from an expert who is proficient in divination and weather forecasting to remind him." Chang Sui Ning did not hide anything from him, saying: "Although I dare not say that his divination is always without mistakes, six or seven times out of ten will come true. These things
It doesn’t matter whether it’s big or small, it’s better to prepare early so that you’re prepared and safe.”
Hu Lin thought for a while and nodded.
If it concerns the safety of the people, he would rather believe it.
Therefore, he immediately ordered everyone to prepare for flood prevention and personally went to various granaries to check.
Soon, after being notified of the government's arrangements, the people in the city also received the reminder.
At first, some people did not take it seriously, but after two more days, the heavy rain did not stop and became heavier and heavier. Houses in the city began to be washed away and collapsed.
Also affected by the disaster were Luoyang, Xingyang and other places. The Gushui River and the Luoshui River surged and overflowed, even destroying the Fengxian Palace in the Luoyang Palace City, which was being built under the decree of Emperor Shengce, causing the death and injury of more than ten palace residents.
The Fengxian Palace has been under construction for a year and a half. It was Emperor Shengzhi who was recommended by Tianjing Imperial Master to build it in Luoyang Palace. It was used for praying for great prosperity and was related to the fate of the country. At this moment, it was suddenly destroyed. Luoyang City
Officials were panicked.
Rumors only arose overnight, especially since there were already hidden gentry forces in Luoyang City that were hostile to the Holy Emperor——
Soon, there were rumors among the people that the Holy Emperor had not acted according to God's will, so he went to heaven and sent down punishment to destroy the Fengxian Palace.
Li Xian, who had already arrested some members of the Luoyang noble clan and was being interrogated secretly, heard about this. In order to put an end to the rumors as soon as possible, he made a decision after discussing with military advisors and panicked Luoyang officials.
