On December 24th, the land of Shanxi was also covered in white.
Well, the snow has stopped temporarily.
The city gates are open on all sides, and dense figures gather in this white city. It is already the new year. This almost newly built city is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. In some places, people shovel the snow on the road and open up the bustling atmosphere.
market. After years of war, this is the first time such a lively scene has occurred in Jin.
On one side of the city, where the Tiger King's Tianji Palace used to be, is now in ruins.
Three years ago, two Jurchen armies went south. The West Route Army led by Nianhan and Xiyin stormed the Jin region and killed Tian Shi, the little tiger king at that time. They also mobilized Liao Yiren and other Jin tribes to split the tiger king's power. Zhu Biao and Wang Shanyue
They were defeated in Daming Mansion. Lou Shuwan, Wang Juyun, Yu Yulin and others could not support themselves. In May of the 10th year of Wu Jianshuo, after more than two months of attack by the army of Nianhan, the Tiger King's army abandoned the city and left. Lou Shu was determined.
Wan burned most of the buildings in the city, the ordnance and even the antiques and cultural relics that could not be taken away.
Lou Shuwan's determination prevented the Jurchens who came with their troops from plundering any benefits here. The soldiers who had nowhere to vent their anger slaughtered the surrounding area for a while, even causing a lot of trouble to Liao Yiren's territory at that time.
After Liao Yiren's death, the Tiger King's army regained the Jin territory. It still placed its rear area in the mountainous areas where it was convenient for fighting. In the plain areas, Lou Shuwan combined the experience and suggestions of the Huaxia Army to provide relief work, build roads and attract investment. Female
The image of Xiang Zai who would rather die than retreat when facing the Jurchens has given many people confidence. Even at this moment when the entire Central Plains is in disarray, there are still many interest systems that are like hundreds of rivers and seas heading towards the center of Jin, which extends in all directions.
Points gathered together to quickly rebuild Wasion, and then built Dongcheng, a special industrial and technical area near Wasion.
In the process of rebuilding Weisheng, Lou Shuwan did not restore the Tianji Palace originally built for Tian Hu, but found a site in the nearby ruins to build a smaller and more simple palace to cope with the "wildfire"
She named this place Qing Palace with the meaning of "the spring breeze blows and the spring wind blows again". Of course, recently, some people often say that this foreshadows the female prime minister, "If I become the Qing Emperor in his next year, I will be rewarded with peach blossoms blooming together."
"Ambition.
As a woman with great power, such speculation about her has a good side, but actually also contains a bad reflection.
The Tiger King's power was passed down to Tian Shi after Tian Hu's death. When Tian Shi was suddenly assassinated, the entire power essentially fell apart. For example, Liao Yiren and other wealthy families took refuge in the Jurchens and split away. On this side, Lou Shuwan and Yu Yulin
The others could not stand up for themselves, so they pushed out a child named Tian Shan from Tian Shi's family as a puppet to continue to fight against the Jin Dynasty. When Liao Yiren and others died and the whole clan was wiped out, the Jin Dynasty was unified. Although the female prime minister had great power,
But after all, it is impossible to win the support of everyone, and some strange words that occasionally come out are actually manifestations of the power struggle that is inevitable for any force.
Of course, these floating little thoughts are still insignificant in the land of Jin at this moment. Since taking charge of the household department under Tian Hu, Lou Shuwan has experienced countless contempt and challenges, but she is still under the leadership of King Tiger.
Among the forces, they firmly controlled the entire line of economy and people's livelihood. Then, with the incident of Tian Hu being imprisoned but killing Tian Hu, to the numerous assassinations he experienced when confronting the Jurchens, and facing Nianhan,
It can be said that the prestige of the female prime minister at this time was forcibly gained through fierce waves with punches and kicks.
On the other hand, there is the support of Yu Yulin in terms of military power. The opening of Washeng and Dongcheng has attracted the support of all parties, large and small. Most importantly, the attitude of the expert group from the southwest and Ning Yi represents the most powerful force in the world.
The will of the powerful forces cannot be ignored. Even if there are some turmoil, Lou Shuwan's authority in Jin is almost unbreakable. There are rumors such as "If I become the Qing Emperor in his future years, I will be rewarded with a peach blossom."
, occasionally even Lou Shuwan would just smile indifferently when he heard it.
Of course, what is more subtle is that in the eyes of some people, the biggest factor for a woman like Lou Shuwan to take power in Jin is not her success in kicking and punching, but the fact that some unknown factors came out at some time.
There are rumors about the complicated love-hate relationship between Lou Shuwan and Mr. Nannan Ning.
In today's world, when it comes to political struggle, many people may dare to kill an ally of the Southwest Chinese Army, but in any case, people will be afraid of killing a family member of Ning Yi, or to put it crudely,
"Concubine". The relationship between Lou Shuwan and Ning Yi was a rumor like a joke at first. Later, the closer the contacts between the Huaxia Army and the Jin Dynasty became, and the more complicated the relationship between the two parties, the more mysterious the rumors became.
.
Even the supporters who came to Jin from the southwest, even though they would not talk about these things verbally, their feelings towards Jin, especially the female Prime Minister, are more cordial than other forces.
Some of them seemed to be mentally prepared to be called the boss lady.
Lou Shuwan has not made any public statements about the attitude of the female prime minister when such rumors reach her ears. But in any case, with the support of these factors, there may be some power players who want to support the child Tian Shan and drive away the female prime minister.
It was Xianglou Shuwan's idea to spread some rumors, but the distance was successful. No matter how you look at it, it seems like ten or eight years have passed. The female prime minister may seize power, and she may become the emperor as a woman in the future.
In the current power structure, none of this is an urgent or drastic option.
Based on some suggestions from the Chinese Army, the atmosphere in Wasion's small New Year was quite lively. They had made preparations for a grand party with lights and colorful decorations a few days ago. The time was approaching, and the weather was good, and the area was ten miles away.
All the residents of Baxiang put on cotton-padded clothes and traveled a long way to the city to celebrate. The thick clothes people wore reflected the rare smoothness of Jin over the years. The lively celebrations increased cohesion, and many people talked about the female prime minister.
, full of admiration and gratitude.
In the morning, the celebrations and markets in the city had just begun to show their excitement. In front of the Qing Palace, You Hongzhuo and the tall Liang Siyi came here together.
The two participated in the Fair Party chaos in Jiangning at the end of September. You Hongzhuo sought revenge from Kuang Wenbai, and then together with Liang Siyi seriously injured "Jackdaw" Chen Juefang in the chaos. Although he failed to completely revenge, he also
I was able to fight against "Heavenly Sword" Tan Zheng again, but after witnessing the fight involving the Chinese army, many small things seemed not so important.
On the other hand, after witnessing He Wen's decisiveness in taking back power and understanding the path chosen by the Fairness Party, An Xifu also came to a conclusion about this trip south, and took He Wen's message of willingness to trade with Shanxi.
With the intention of making good friends, we embarked on the road back north.
You Hongzhuo and Liang Siyi have a deeper fate.
When You Hongzhuo first came out of the world, he met several brothers and sisters. His eldest brother, Luan Fei, and his third sister, Qin Xiang, were actually the adopted sons and daughters of Wang Juyun who came out of the Rebellion Division. The Rebellion Division was helping the refugees in the north and was short of food and clothing.
Those who were capable were released to raise food for the army. Later, Kuang Wenbai betrayed and the lies between the brothers were exposed. Only then did You Hongzhuo discover that the so-called world was not just about heroic brotherhood.
The third sister Qin Xiang died at that time, and the eldest brother Luan Fei returned to Luanshi and became a cripple without two legs. The life of Luanshi was already embarrassing, and the life of a disabled person was even more unspeakable. Luan Fei could only survive a few years.
Later, Wang Juyun and Lou Shuwan gradually began to cooperate. He occasionally heard rumors about You Hongzhuo's rising star in the world, so he often talked to Liang Siyi and other relatively familiar sworn brothers and sworn sisters: "This is the relationship between me and you, Sister Qin Xiang, back then."
The younger brother I met on the rivers and lakes."
"...He has a future."
Although his occasional words seemed cordial, and he was proud of You Hongzhuo for his righteous deeds of protecting the female Prime Minister in the Northern Jin District, but with his legs already disabled, he never thought of meeting You Hongzhuo again.
things.
When the Jurchens were fighting southward at the height of their intensity, in order not to drag down those around him, he climbed into a well and drowned himself.
The passage of time is vast and endless, and no one expected that a fate would connect with someone in another place. After Luan Fei broke his leg, he was unwilling to involve others and never thought of meeting You Hongzhuo.
After his death, Liang Siyi and others did not intend to have anything to do with You Hongzhuo. However, the two of them had a life-and-death relationship in Jiangning. It was only when he was on his deathbed that day when he failed to assassinate Chen Juefang that Liang Siyi whispered about Luan Fei and Qin.
Only then did You Hongzhuo find out about Xiang's affairs. After the seven brothers separated, the eldest brother Luan Fei had experienced so many things.
The old friend has passed away. As generous sons and daughters, the two have already developed a good impression of each other. Soon after, they made a lifelong promise to each other on their way back to the north. When they returned to Jin, Liang Siyi led You Hongzhuo to meet Wang Juyun.
He was so pleased that he not only personally selected a wedding date for the two of them after the beginning of spring, but also stayed with You Hongzhuo for a few days to personally teach him the unique art of "Peacock Ming Wang's Seven Feathers".
You Hongzhuo has received guidance from various masters over the years, and this time he received guidance from Wang Juyun. Only then did he realize that this white-haired leader of the rebellion was not only full of knowledge, but also had martial arts attainments that were unmatched by anyone. "Peacock King Qi Zhan Yu"
"It was originally a sword technique, but after Wang Juyun's guidance, he incorporated the essence into the sword technique, which also benefited him a lot. After experiencing these years, he felt for the first time that he wanted to kill the "Heavenly Sword" Tan Zheng
, he is already somewhat sure.
What made him feel even more intimate was that when Wang Juyun taught martial arts and taught martial arts with all his heart, the guidance he gave him in life reminded him vaguely of Mr. Zhao, the "dark wind and evil" back then.
Although he and the Zhao couple had not been together for a short time, Mr. Zhao's advice on his life basically laid the foundation for him to move forward later. It was the other party's teachings that made him learn to think, and made him more capable in face-to-face situations.
He would not be overly extreme about various things. If he had not always acted and thought carefully, even if he had acquired the peerless sword skills, he would probably not be where he is today.
Recalling this incident, he also learned that Wang Juyun was Wang Yin, the minister of the Holy Worker Fangla during the rebellion, and had rich experience in the world. You Hongzhuo made an insidious mention of the situation of the "double evil spirits of black wind", a pair of seniors in the world. Unfortunately, Wang Juyun frowned and pondered for a long time.
, saying that he had never heard of such a heroic couple in the world.
It had been December since the two of them returned to Wei Sheng. You Hongzhuo had no mission and no need to explain things to anyone. After meeting Wang Juyun, he had been practicing swordsmanship with Liang Siyi at home. However, Wang Juyun and Lou Shuwan mentioned the marriage of their adopted daughter.
, Lou Shuwan was handed over the invitation - the female prime minister was assassinated many times at that time, and You Hongzhuo was a righteous man who voluntarily protected the female prime minister. His sword skills improved by leaps and bounds in such an environment. Later, he and Lou Shuwan also worked together.
We had met several times, and we were even more familiar with Shi Jin. I did not go to see her after returning from this trip. According to Wang Juyun, "The female prime minister is extremely angry."
On the morning of the 24th, there was a lively party.
As soon as he was introduced to the Qing Palace, You Hongzhuo met many people he knew in the past, such as the hero Shi Jin who had been serving as the guard of the female prime minister, Yuan Xiaoqiu, the maid who followed the female prime minister, Zhan Wu, the representative of the Chinese Army, and many of the female prime ministers who were guarding that year.
They were proven to be loyal knights during the Prime Minister's time - many of these people have now become the female Prime Minister's personal guards.
Lou Shuwan met the two of them alone in the side hall of the Qing Palace. Compared with the seriousness and haggardness during the tense period in Jin Dynasty, Lou Shuwan now seemed relaxed and friendly in private. She asked You Hongzhuo about the journey.
- especially in the southwest - and then congratulated him on his union with Liang Siyi and gave them a piece of jade.
Although it was a private meeting, which showed that they valued each other, of course they could not be called friends. In order to avoid an awkward atmosphere, the meeting did not last too long. After a while, You Hongzhuo was introduced to the teahouse in front of him, and after a while
After the introduction, we roughly knew what the theme of today’s party was.
Since the New Year is here, there is a big celebration in the city, and the industrial zone in the east city is also giving holidays to the technical teams from the southwest. Lou Shuwan invites these people to come to Weisheng to celebrate the festival. Some people who do not want to participate in the party have already gone out to go shopping.
In addition, many people came to the Qing Palace as representatives to drink tea and chat. As a traveler who had only recently been to the southwest, You Hongzhuo was also called by Lou Shuwan to accompany him.
Not long after You Hongzhuo came out, Lou Shuwan led a six or seven-year-old child out of the inner room and greeted everyone - this child is Tian Shan, the nominal successor of the Tiger King's power - after a simple greeting
, Lou Shuwan introduced each other to everyone, and also specially brought up You Hongzhuo and told the story of his studying in the southwest.
You Hongzhuo also roughly talked about his experience at that time. Although as a knight who traveled around the world, he hated political matters, but privately he was actually very willing to get to know these people in the southwest. As he talked about the man from Zhangcun
At Mrs. Lu's name, a group of technical talents from the southwest were amazed. Some asked him about the situation in Zhang Village, and some asked about the technical requirements of knights like them. One of them had already started chatting with him.
I need to make some details for him with small grenades and smoke grenades...
The ice and snow outside melted, and the rising sunshine brought some warmth. The atmosphere in the teahouse gradually became warmer. Lou Shuwan took Tian Shan in hand, stood up and said goodbye with a smile: "I am here, and everyone is not so relaxed.
You are all from the southwest, please get together and have a chat. I, Mr. Zhan Wu, and General Xue have some things to discuss... I'll help you take the two leaders away. You can do whatever you want... Mr. Shi, please help.
I'll greet them."
In a harmonious atmosphere, she took away Zhan Wu and Xue Guangcheng, leaving behind Shi Jin.
As a result, the atmosphere became even more lively - perhaps due to the promotion of various martial arts novels in the southwest, everyone who came from there actually respected and loved knights like Shi Jin, and they had had many interactions with each other in the past.
We had already become familiar with each other, and now that the leader had left, everyone was laughing and joking, and they had a good morning afterwards...
…
For people in the upper echelons, actions of this kind or other have more or less political factors, and they no longer have the freedom they had in the past.
Lou Shuwan organized such a gathering, more or less, of course, to show the external signal that "people in the southwest only obey me". Even if she left early and was considerate, a deliberate gathering might not be as good as three or two.
It is so comfortable and comfortable as friends meeting in private. But no matter what, it is because of these and other actions that the vast Jin land has been able to stabilize, and even this winter, there is room for celebrations.
Just like when You Hongzhuo met Lou Shuwan, it was not because they were really caring friends, but because Lou Shuwan gave the world a little breathing space and allowed people to smile more than before. As for the secular world,
On a level, these friendships between friends are of course fundamentally different.
Shortly after leaving the teahouse, Lou Shuwan squatted on the ground and smiled and said a few words to her child Tian Shan. Tian Shan nodded sensibly, then saluted respectfully, and walked toward the back of the palace accompanied by the maid.
Zhan Wu and Xue Guangcheng looked at each other from behind, their expressions unhappy.
Standing up straight, Lou Shuwan suppressed her smile and walked forward. The three of them walked along the corridor in the palace towards the study room in front.
The road has long been familiar, and the atmosphere is by no means unfamiliar. This is the atmosphere for discussing "business". Of course, for the two leaders of the Chinese Army, this atmosphere is always unfriendly.
Most of the time there is a fight.
Sure enough, Lou Shuwan made people angry when he opened his mouth.
"The battle in Bianliang is over. After a while, Zou Xu will come over to celebrate when he is free... Don't cause trouble."
"What did the female prime minister say?"
"What does the female prime minister say? What can we do when we are guests in Jin?"
Lou Shuwan stopped in front and turned her head sideways: "...Are you being sarcastic?"
"We..." Xue Guangcheng spread his hands, "Of course it's sarcasm."
"Yeah." Zhan Wu nodded.
"Okay." Lou Shuwan was not surprised and nodded, "Anyway, the last dividend hasn't been given to you yet... Let's talk about business. I sent a letter to Southwest last month, and you all know that.
After this winter, we have enough energy to spare. We need to make up for the northwest defense line. For this matter, you need to send some people. It is best for one of you, Master Wu or General Xue, to lead the team in person. When the time comes, the Xiaocang River will be returned to you.
Have you made arrangements?"
Zhan Wu frowned: "The letter was sent last month, and Southwest received it not long ago, right? How many people will be involved in such a big matter, and how will it be fought..."
"Jindi is thousands of miles away from the southwest. If you don't get a reply from there, you won't do anything?" Lou Shuwan opened the door of the study and walked in. This is her usual office space. The furnishings are relatively simple, and some writing
Papers full of words were placed on the table. Perhaps the morning's work had not been finished yet, so she walked over and sorted it out:
"Anyway, General Wang and I have already discussed this matter. All of us know the importance of the northwest. We haven't taken it all these years because we were out of breath. Now a group of Mongolians have attacked Xixia, and we have no time to cultivate and recuperate.
For a period of time, although these people are just barbarians who drink blood, they have to prepare for a rainy day. Hengshan has to make up for it. I brought you into the group because you have been fighting in the northwest for several years, and you have indeed left some reputation. It will be easier for you. Next, in the northwest
War, led by General Wang's rebel army. They have suffered for many years. Find a decent place for them to live. We also have a group of people here. They don't want much, just eat whatever they want. As for your Chinese army, give them a
Group people and make a name for yourself. In the future, this area of Xiaocang River will be, uh, how do you say that..."
She sat there, rubbed her forehead and thought for a while, then raised her head and smiled: "...Oh, joint development."
Zhan Wu and Xue Guangcheng sat down on the chairs beside them. After listening to Lou Shuwan's words, they were both speechless. Zhan Wu said: "This matter needs instructions from the southwest. Mr. Lou, let's go out."
How many people are there? We only have so many people in Jindi, do you want us to just pull all the people from the technical team over? Don’t do it anymore in Dongcheng?"
Lou Shuwan lowered her head and wrote a few words, approved a letter, and then raised her head: "The troops led by General Xue can go, they look very good at fighting."
Xue Guangcheng laughed: "Miss Lou just wants to transfer my people away, right?"
"Yes." Lou Shuwan smiled calmly, "In this way, Zou Xu comes over to congratulate you, and I don't have to keep an eye on you. You can go and get Xiaocanghe back. Everyone will be comfortable and at ease, and you will kill three birds with one stone. How great.
.”
"Unless there are special circumstances, the escort company will not leave the technical team."
"Now is a special situation. That is Xiaocang River. The Chinese army fought against the Jin in Xiaocang River. After fighting for so many years, the world only recognized you as Huaxia. Now you can take it back, don't you want it?"
Xue Guangcheng frowned and Zhan Wu was silent for a moment: "...What's the use of coming back? Apart from a symbolic meaning, everything in the Xiaocang River was destroyed and the dam was exploded. If we get it back today, what will we do?
How many benefits can there be? Moreover, the Chinese army was based in Luliang back then because of its foundation in Qingmuzhai and other places. If we talk about the location, that area is not fertile land. Mr. Lou and General Wang took the northwest, and we took back the small
Canghe, don’t you guys take advantage of this?”
Lou Shuwan looked at him, passed it for a while, then spread her hands and smiled.
"Then I don't want it."
"We didn't say not to..."
"That's what I want."
"We don't have that many people, and if Mr. Lou just wants to make things difficult for us..."
"Who is making things difficult for whom? Who is making things difficult for whom! Oh, I asked you if you don't want it, but you didn't say you didn't want it. I asked you if you wanted it, but you didn't say you wanted it. Oh, you intersex people, you're playing riddles, and I'm making things difficult for you.
…”
"Mr. Lou, you are so sinister..."
"Who is so weird-" Lou Shuwan burst out laughing when she said this. Then she lowered her head and pulled over a booklet, opened it and stretched out her hand, "Okay, I just want to inform you about this matter."
You guys, oh, I forgot to tell you, I also wrote a letter to Liangshan. There is no Chinese army in Jin, but there is Liangshan. They are not living a good life anyway. I still have kindness to them, so I invite them.
They will regain the northwest together, and then we will all cooperate together. You see, if your Chinese army sends out troops, you can get one-third of the northwest. I don’t want to jointly develop the Xiaocang River with you... Birds don’t lay eggs.
If you destroy the place, you can develop it yourself when the time comes..."
The two people in front were silent for a moment. Xue Guangcheng took a sip of tea and suppressed his anger. Zhan Wu nodded: "...I understand."
"It's good that you understand." Lou Shuwan buried her head in writing without looking at them, "We are all our own people. I know you, such a big thing requires a meeting. Look at how good I am. Such a big thing will take more than a month.
I've told you before, and I'm here to remind you again today, go to the meeting, go to the meeting, and get some manpower out. The northwest is now a bunch of horse bandits with chickens and dogs. I'm still looking forward to the troops led by Commander Xue.
.”
There was another moment of silence. Zhan Wu and Xue Guangcheng both drank tea before standing up. Zhan Wu said to Xue Guangcheng, "Someone is cheating..."
Xue Guangcheng: “Otherwise, let’s transfer the technical team away.”
Lou Shuwan, who was on the other side of the desk, raised her head, her eyes as stern as frost: "If you have the guts, you can adjust it."
"Look, she is cheating..."
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise..."
"Bah! Get out—" Lou Shuwan pretended to spit.
"You're just talking nonsense..."
"Yin and yang are weird, but they still look like women..."
The two of them put their hands on their hips and cursed nonchalantly for a while. Lou Shuwan also cursed a few words. When they picked up the inkstone to swing it, the two middle-aged men sighed and left the study room.
Lou Shuwan sat down, supported her chin with her hands, and smiled slightly while reviewing the folds. During these days, trying to disrupt the arrangements of the Huaxia Army with various things was her favorite pastime. She gave the two members of the Huaxia Army
The failure of the person in charge always brought her temporary relaxation and pleasure. The smile on the corner of her mouth lasted for a while. She was immersed in her work, and her eyes gradually became cold and desolate.
When she raised her head, maid Yuan Xiaoqiu came in from outside and reported to her that the party outside had dispersed and everyone involved was happy. Shi Jin and You Hongzhuo had a competition, and now everyone had gone outside the palace to continue having fun.
"It's very lively outside today. Mr. Lou, do you want to go out and take a look?"
Lou Shuwan looked at her and thought for a while.
"Too……"
She nodded and smiled.
"Then I'll give you a holiday..."
…
The winter sunshine shines on the cotton-like blanket of clouds on this land, extending for thousands of miles. Chengdu in the southwest is also in the midst of the joy of the New Year on this day.
Compared with the difficulties and preciousness of the Jindi celebrations, Chengdu, with its light snow and abundant supplies, is truly full of festive atmosphere. Restaurants and teahouses are decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere; streets and markets are decorated with greenery.
The old and new Confucians organized lively cultural gatherings; like-minded people with new cultures also gathered everywhere to talk about their ideals; the aroma of delicacies wafted from the mansions of the rich in the city; even relatively poor ordinary people,
They also wandered around the beautiful markets in the city, or found a theater open to the public to watch a lively performance.
All living beings have their own joy at this moment.
On one side of the city, in a quaint courtyard, the same joy is happening at this moment near noon. A middle-aged man who seems to be upright and heroic is leading several special guests to his home. On this New Year's Day
, it was also the time to worship the Kitchen Lord, and his home was already filled with an atmosphere of various sacrifices. The time was close to noon, and the leader who was welcomed in was a little hesitant, but the middle-aged man had already held his hand and talked to him.
Qingyi came: "We are our own family, you are going home now."
The two of them are indeed from the same family.
The name of the owner of this house is Li Rulai, and the person who was welcomed in was an artillery regiment commander of the Fifth Army of the Chinese Army named Li Dong. The two parties had dealt with each other several times before, and Li Dong also had several subordinates.
In the past, he had received good arrangements from Li Rulai, and the two parties had some favors. Even going back to the family tree of the two, they could really find out their origin. This time when he came to Chengdu for business, he was invited to his home for a simple meal.
Li Rulai is a reliable person.
It’s hard to refuse such kindness.
Since he was from the same family, Li Rulai asked his family members to come out to greet him and talk to him shortly after entering. This general who used to lead the army but is now idle has a rich family and no longer has too many ambitions.
He has no desire for anyone in the army, so there is no need to worry about being implicated in corruption and perverting the law. He has a military background in the past. After being defeated by the Chinese army, it is very reasonable for him to admire the soldiers here, and occasionally make friends with him.
, just for the yearning and admiration in my heart.
Soon after, a banquet was held and a lot of rare food was served. Seeing that Li Dong was hesitant, Li Rulai told him some business matters and confessed one by one: "I don't earn a single copper coin illegally here.
, are all things encouraged by Mr. Ning..."
In the festive atmosphere of the whole city, this place is like a small splash in the ocean, and does not appear to be anything special. And also in the turbulent crowd, near noon, several carriages came in from the north gate of the city.
, at the end of the year, this was the vehicle that was originally promised to go back to Zhangcun, but at this moment, it passed through the festive crowd and drove silently towards that specific house in the city.
The city is full of festive atmosphere, but the person in the car is not happy. He is thinking about something with his brows furrowed. The aroma from outside the car occasionally drifts in, and he is feeling a little hungry. Over the years, he has become increasingly unhappy.
We stopped on the way and asked someone to buy a meat bun.
Soon, the carriage stopped outside Li Rulai's mansion.
Someone from the Secretariat came up and told him that Li Dong from the Artillery Regiment was attending a banquet in the courtyard.
"Um."
He put down the meat buns in his hands, got out of the car, and stood for a moment.
"...No matter, let's go in.
…
Ning Yi walked in and walked through the courtyard.
Soon, everyone standing at the table in the main hall saw him. He nodded.
