On the second day of the first lunar month, Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke, who had stayed overnight in the Tiangong Bureau, went to Datong City again.
It has been nearly a year since the ground was broken to build the city. The overall construction of Datong City has basically been completed, and the city's popularity has become more and more prosperous.
Under the instructions of Wei Changtian and Qingxian, many transformed monsters have quietly moved into the city, but their identities have not been revealed yet.
The people in the city don't know that many of the neighbors they live with day and night are actually monsters, but even if they knew, they probably wouldn't have much reaction.
After all, under the continuous "guidance of public opinion", the people of Great Shu, especially the people of Shu, are no longer afraid of monsters.
As long as this transition period lasts for a while, "full liberalization" of Datong City will not be too far away.
I visited various "infrastructure" conditions in Datong City and stayed in the city for one night.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Wei Changtian ended his short "inspection trip" and returned to Shuzhou City at dusk.
It's still early before the Lantern Festival, and even though the city is already showing tension before the war, the flavor of the new year still remains.
Many people have not yet started work, but are spending this rare and peaceful New Year at home with relatives and friends.
But Wei Changtian could no longer enjoy this pleasant time.
According to what Xu Suisui said, the four countries were originally scheduled to send troops at the end of the first lunar month.
However, this is a situation where Fengning is still in civil strife.
Now that the civil strife has subsided, the four countries will not leave themselves much breathing time, and may advance the time of attack.
Therefore, whether it is Daning, Xinfeng, or Shu which is temporarily away from the war, it is necessary to start setting up defenses as early as possible to avoid being caught off guard by the enemy.
Of course this includes Wei Changtian.
Therefore, he did not plan to stay in Shuzhou City any longer, but planned to leave for the capital early tomorrow morning. After meeting Ning Wenjun, he would go straight to Liangzhou.
I came back and stayed for two months, and then I had to leave again in the blink of an eye.
It seems that since Xiao Feng's death, Wei Changtian's time in Shuzhou has been getting less and less.
Jizhou, Yuanzhou, Fengyuan, Huailing.
In the past two years, Wei Changtian probably spent more time "going out" than "at home".
And this trip to Liangzhou was different from the previous one.
No matter where he went before and whether he achieved his goals before leaving, Shuzhou will always be Wei Changtian's base camp.
But this time, General Shu will no longer be his retreat.
If Liangzhou cannot hold on, and instead allows the armies of Jue and Ji to face the entire Daning belly, it will basically declare the fall of Daning as a whole.
After that, the entire northern part of Shu will turn into a war zone, and the war will eventually spread to Shuzhou City.
Therefore, once Wei Changtian leaves this time, there are only two situations when he comes back.
Either he successfully repelled the armies of the four countries and returned in triumph.
Either he failed to help Ning Wenjun defend Liangzhou, or Xu Suisui failed to withstand it, so he had to come back to defend the last Shuzhou city.
Apart from this, there is no other possibility.
...
"When are you leaving tomorrow..."
It was night, and the candlelight flickered in the room, illuminating Xu Qingwan's face in a trance.
She lowered her head slightly, her voice was very soft, and it sounded like she was trying to make her tone lighter.
But the reluctance and worry in his words are like a full glass of water, which will overflow as long as it shakes a little.
"Leave in time."
Sitting opposite Comrade Xiao Xu, Wei Changtian looked a little unbearable.
Liang Qin had already led the troops to Liangzhou with Liang Zhenxian.
And Yang Liushi will still accompany him this time.
So after they left, only Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao were left in Shuzhou City.
In fact, it is not unprecedented before for two women to be "alone in their empty boudoir".
But Comrade Xiao Xu still had many things to be busy with before, so his life was not too boring at least.
But now that food prices in various places have returned to normal, Yingfengsheng no longer has so many things for Xu Qingwan to deal with, so the days ahead may be quite difficult for her.
It's not like Wei Changtian never thought of taking her with him.
But after all, this is not a trip, but a war.
Although Xu Qingwan's strength is acceptable, it is only comparable to ordinary people and cannot play any role on the battlefield.
Besides, she is not as scheming as Yang Liushi, and she has not even touched a knife for a long time.
If he takes her with him under such circumstances, Wei Changtian will have to distract himself from taking care of her safety, which is not a wise move no matter how he looks at it.
so......
"After we leave, the three little girls will be left to you."
Forcing a smile, Wei Changtian said with a smile: "Agou and Achun are fine. They have been working very hard on weekdays."
"But Qiaoling doesn't work very hard. She only knows how to play with her group of strange and ancient animals all day long."
"Lu Jingyao is unwilling to hurt her, so you have to be stricter with her."
"Anyway, don't let her delay your cultivation."
"..."
The vague shadows of the two of them were reflected on the wall, and Wei Changtian repeatedly explained how to take care of Wei Qiaoling.
After hearing this, Xu Qingwan covered her mouth and smiled:
"how?"
"Sister Lu doesn't want to let go of Ji Qiaoling, so I have to be this evil person?"
"What if Qiao Ling holds a grudge against me because of this?"
"What does this little girl know about movies?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Lu Jingyao has never practiced and does not understand the importance of cultivation. There is nothing we can do about it."
"But you are a cultivator, and you should understand how far you can go in the future with Qiaoling's talent."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Smiling and nodding, Xu Qingwan gently tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear: "Don't worry, I will definitely discipline Qiaoling and never let her be lazy."
"That's fine."
"Oh, by the way, Yingshengsheng also needs to make preparations in advance. I am going to ask Ning Wenjun to hand over the preparation of grain and grass to Yingshengsheng."
"If it is decided by then, I will send you a message immediately..."
"..."
The light clouds are gone and overflowing with coldness, and the silver man turns the jade plate silently.
For the next quarter of an hour, Wei Changtian kept telling him about certain things, while Xu Qingwan also listened silently, and would respond with a few words from time to time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She did not show too obvious mood swings from beginning to end, as if she was used to staying in this big house and waiting for Wei Changtian to go and come back.
It's the same as going back and going.
This situation changed only when the two undressed and fell asleep.
Comrade Xiao Xu tonight... seems to be particularly eager and more proactive than ever before.
She seemed to want to leave all her tenderness to Wei Changtian, to this night.
"..."
"Wan'er, what are you doing today..."
Nearly an hour later, Wei Changtian, who was sweating profusely, lay on his back on the bed. He was a little confused and was about to ask something, but his mouth was suddenly covered by a piece of softness.
After a while, the damp heat moved away, and a soft request sounded in my ears.
"Changtian, I, I still want to..."
"..."
"???"
What? Did you eat the wood butterfly too??
Wei Changtian was greatly surprised, but of course he would not spoil the scenery, even if he scored a "twice".
Then came the "hat trick".
After three times, Comrade Xiao Xu finally stopped making any demands.
Wei Changtian, who was very tired, soon fell into a deep sleep.
"Changtian..."
The tears that had been suppressed for half the night finally filled my eyes, and I heard a trembling call.
Xu Qingwan was lying on her side next to Wei Changtian, looking at the man so close to her without blinking her eyes, and then she moved into the latter's arms little by little.
She was actually much more tired than Wei Changtian now, and sleepiness kept flooding into her heart like a surge.
But Xu Qingwan tried her best to fight against the sleepiness and was still unwilling to fall asleep.
It seemed like she could stay with Wei Changtian for a while longer.
"..."
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp~"
I don’t know how long it took, but the eastern sky outside the window became white with fish belly, and the chirping of birds was clear and joyful.
Comrade Xiao Xu, who had not slept all night, reluctantly left Wei Changtian's arms, put on his clothes, tiptoed out of bed and wiped his face with cold water.
She walked to the bronze mirror and took a closer look. She felt a lot more energetic. Then she returned to the bed and gently shook Wei Changtian's shoulder.
