In the middle of June, in a village under the snow-capped mountains, the twilight is still shallow, the square in the center of the village has lit a bonfire, the huqin emits a moving timbre, the bone flute tune is cheerful, and the drums are beating, people wear bright costumes that will only be on the body in the festival, sing and dance around the bonfire, and the aroma of barley wine, sour ** and barbecue is overflowing.

Zhao Ziyi sat in the most conspicuous position, dressed in silver light armor, with a red silk flower wrapped around her chest, and her heroic cheeks were reflected in red.

Beside him sat a young girl, with countless tiny braids on her head, adorned with ivory and precious stones, and a red veil covering her forehead, covering her face, hazy and mysterious, unimaginably beautiful.

From time to time, people come to congratulate them on the toast.

Today is the day they get married.

The girl's name is Zeren Ram, and she is the bride.

After the former White Tiger King Lin Xiaotian was eradicated, the Western Forbidden Army was panicked, the alien tribes were ready to move, and several states in the Western Xinjiang were in chaos and were out of the control of the imperial court. In order to stabilize the west, the imperial court transferred many middle-level generals from the command of King Xuanwu in the northwest and the Suzaku King in the north to supplement the western forbidden army.

Gu Tao and others belonged to Zhao Ziyi.

Even so, Zhao Ziyi was not happy, and he couldn't help but encounter local tribal rebellions, and he was often secretly stumped and depressed by Lin Xiaotian's old department. In the past six months, he has spent a lot of thought and means, on the one hand, he suppressed strongly, on the other hand, he bought and co-opted, and he used both grace and power to subdue Weicheng and its nearby tribes and stabilize the situation.

The emperor ordered him to lead the Western Forbidden Army to enter Tawang City, and to watch and contact each other with Fang Pan, the commander of the Southwest Forbidden Army, and Zhang Boyuan, the commander of the Northwest Forbidden Army.

Ram is the most beautiful girl under the snow mountain, once taken captive by the rebellious alien race, was saved by Zhao Ziyi, in gratitude for saving his life, often sent some food and things to the barracks to Zhao Ziyi, seeing his face rolling and flushing.

The elder clan elder in the village heard that Zhao Ziyi had not yet married a wife, so he came to talk to Zeren's family, Zhao Ziyi thought about it and readily agreed.

So, there was this bonfire wedding feast.

People took turns to come forward to toast, and Zhao Ziyi drank bowl after bowl, his face was black and red, and he became more and more heroic. Qing Mo cut the barbecue meat with a knife on the side and sent it to him, he took it and chewed it in a big bite, the aroma of wine and meat on his cheeks, his eyes turned and fell on the bride on the side, his eyes were shining, reflecting her figure.

"Eat a piece?" he brought a piece of roast meat with a knife and fork to Ram, looking at his bride with big eyes under thick eyebrows.

Ram didn't answer, and shook his head helplessly, the red gauze scarf swaying slightly.

Zhao Ziyi took it back and put the meat into his mouth to eat.

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter.

"The last general congratulates the general, and he will be happy with his son in the coming year!" The general, who was in his forties and forties, came forward to toast, and it was Deputy General Gu Tao who came from the northwest.

Zhao Ziyi hurriedly stood up, picked up the bowl and touched it with him, and said with a smile: "Deputy General Xie Gu." When this matter is over, the official will rush to Tawang City, and Weicheng will be handed over to the general to guard. I hope the general will bother. ”

Gu Tao smiled: "General, please rest assured. ”

The two of them raised their heads and drank it all.

Then, the other generals also stepped forward to toast.

On the field, young men played Zamunie, and a team of girls in colorful costumes danced around Zhao Ziyi and Ram, and sang moving songs.

When night comes, the singing and dancing begins.

It was the fifteenth day, and a full moon in the sky not only illuminated the ground as clear as day, but even the snow-capped peaks in the distance were clearly visible.

The singing and dancing banquet lasted until midnight, Qing Mo and a forbidden army supported the drunk Zhao Ziyi back to the big tent in the army, Ram couldn't be shy, and was busy waiting for him, Qing Mo explained a few words, and then withdrew.

The village was unusually silent after the hustle and bustle, and the barracks were also silent, except for the forbidden army on duty, everyone else slept.

In the back room of the Chinese army's tent, red candles shed tears.

Zhao Ziyi's armor has been removed, and she is lying on a low couch with only a middle coat, with a wool blanket around her waist, sleeping very soundly, and snoring slightly.

Ram lightly took off his coat, removed his headdress, and gently lay down next to Zhao Ziyi, waiting with his eyes open. After not moving for a long time, she turned her head sideways, bent her jade arm to support her curvaceous upper body, and quietly looked at her husband.

Perhaps attracted by Zhao Ziyi's heroic appearance, a shallow smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, as if she was happy that she was married to such a young general.

She held out her finger and traced his eyebrows.

Zhao Ziyi was disturbed in her sleep, and her brows furrowed.

Ram pursed his lips and smiled, "General?"

Zhao Ziyi smacked her mouth, and her snoring was still there.

Ram suddenly flipped his hand, and a dagger came out of her sleeve, flashing with a blue glow, and instantly hit Zhao Ziyi's throat, and then he couldn't go down, even if he couldn't move an inch, because he was caught between two fingers.

The owner of the two fingers is Zhao Ziyi.

He opened his eyes and looked at Ram.

Ram opened his mouth, only to find that there was nothing to say. Could it be said that she had a trick with her husband on her wedding night? Then she couldn't put a dagger against her husband's throat. What's even more difficult to round up is that she doesn't know martial arts at all, she can only herd cattle and sheep, what kind of dagger do you play in the middle of the night? Today's wedding makes it even more strange to hide the dagger in her sleeve.

Zhao Ziyi's eyes were not surprised.

With a wave of his hand, the dagger flew to the side, and then pinched Ram's chin and said softly, "You should wait a little longer." It's too urgent. ”

Ram said in a trembling voice: "You already knew?"

Zhao Ziyi didn't answer, and acquiesced.

When he traveled around in the past, he first learned about the local customs, customs, geography, climate, and other things whenever he went to a place, and he had also been to the western frontier; now that he was leading troops to fight, how could he not understand this? He had already found out that Ram and a young man of the Huo Kang family were secretly in love with each other; after Lin Xiaotian's rebellion, the Huo Kang family also became self-reliant, so how could he not be vigilant? In addition, Qing Mo reminded him from the side, so he agreed to the family affair and waited and watched the changes.

At this time, there was a shout of killing outside.

Ram looked at Zhao Ziyi with a desperate gaze.

Zhao Ziyi let go of her hand, pushed her aside, and shouted, "Go down!"

Ram rolled down from the couch, touched the dagger, grabbed it, and wiped his neck. Zhao Ziyi didn't expect it to be a fierce one. He didn't have too much mercy. This is a war, and he cannot be soft-hearted.

At this time, Qing Mo came in, and when he saw Ram's body, he was only stunned, so he replied as if he hadn't seen it: "General, take it." ”

Zhao Ziyi said "um", got up and stayed at the bed, and asked him while putting armor on his body: "How did you find out the clue?"

Qing Mo said: "When his subordinates left Beijing, Lord Liang told his subordinates: The general is a man with great arms, and he is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid of being plotted by the villain." Your subordinates should pay attention to the people around the general, so as not to be deceived by villains who are inconsistent......"

Zhao Ziyi's armored hand paused.

When the village under the snow-capped mountain quieted down again, Zhao Ziyi did not fall asleep, but sat on the highest slope of the village, looking at the snow-capped peak under the moonlight outlined by the blue sky, thinking of Liang Xinming.

He pulled out the flute and began to play.

The sound of the flute went straight to the green shadow, and the snow mountain responded.

The tune is not bleak, but passionate, because he remembers the days when he teamed up with Liang Xinming, and every day was so exciting.

Liang Xinming is as cunning as a fox and has treacherous methods, but he has his full trust. Staying by her side, he was at ease. When he came to this ever-changing western frontier, there was no one who reassured him like her. The seemingly innocent Ram aroused his vigilance when they first met...... Thinking of this flute suddenly turned lonely.

At dawn, an eagle circled in the sky, and suddenly swooped down and landed on Zhao Ziyi's shoulder, its sharp claws clasping the armor on his shoulder.

This is the golden eagle used in the army to transmit messages, with yellow-brown feathers and yellow-brown sharp eagle eyes, which are very powerful and sharp.

Zhao Ziyi took out a piece of raw and cold beef from the pouch on her waist and fed it to it. Military life is very monotonous, in addition to practicing riding and archery, he gets along with the war horse and the golden eagle the most, and at critical times, they are more effective than people.

On this morning, a letter came from the capital, and the generals and officials generally received the letter from home, and they were very happy, and they each found a place to open it and read it, and replied to the letter.

Qing Mo couldn't wait to avoid people, so he dismantled it on the spot, and after only reading a sentence or two, he jumped up and shouted: "I'm going to be a father! Master, I'm going to be a father!"

Zhao Ziyi said in disbelief: "Really?"

How old are you to get pregnant?

Qing Mo smiled and said dissatisfiedly: "Can this be fake?" While reading the letter hungrily, he didn't raise his head, read it over and over again, and muttered in his mouth, "So confused a person, do you know how to take care of yourself?"

Zhao Ziyi sighed and said, "There are adults and Grandma Liang, what are you worried about?"

Qing Mo thought for a while, smiled, and said, "Yes, adults and grandma will definitely take care of her." When I came, I was reassured. ”

Zhao Ziyi saw that he was calm, so he opened his letter and found two letters in an envelope, one was Wang Heng's and the other was Liang Xinming's.

After reading both letters, he was stunned.

Wang Heng and Liang Xinming both reported good news to him in the letter, saying that Liang Xinming gave birth to a son last month, named Wang Yan; and told him to take his life's major events to heart, get married as soon as possible, give birth to children as soon as possible, and have time to be brothers with Wang Yan, otherwise the little brothers are too different to play together; and also promised that in the future, if the juniors love Wen, they will worship Wang Heng Liang Xinming as a teacher, and if they learn martial arts, they will worship him as a teacher.

This promise was very tempting to Zhao Ziyi.

But where did the son come from?

He began to think about lifelong events, whether to entrust Wang Heng Liang Xinming to help him set a family in the capital, or to find it locally?

He quickly rejected the previous idea, first, he instinctively rejected Liang Xinming to help him find his relatives; second, would the ladies in the capital be willing to come to this arduous western frontier? In the end, even if some ladies were willing to marry him, and others would come from the capital, I am afraid that it would be a year later; and then when his son was born, he would be several years younger than Wang Yan!

He decided to look for it locally.

Who to look for?

If he doesn't know the roots, he doesn't dare to marry.

Suddenly, he remembered someone: the daughter of Gu Tao!

Gu Tao was implicated in the defection case of Zhennanhou and almost died unjustly. Later, Wang Heng solved the case and cleared his grievances for him. Gu Tao was first transferred from the Dragon Guard to the Xuanwu Pass in the northwest and served under the command of the Xuanwu King; later, the White Tiger King Lin Xiaotian failed in his rebellion, and Emperor Jing Kang urgently ordered him to be transferred to Weicheng in the western Xinjiang.

In the case of Zhennanhou, Gu Tao was tortured by Liu Tang, the right attendant of the Criminal Department at that time, and his body fell ill.

The ancient girl loved to practice martial arts since she was a child, followed her father in men's clothes, and took care of and protected her father like a personal guard, Zhao Ziyi has also seen it.

Did the ancient girl get married?

Zhao Ziyi has been thinking about this question.

The next day, he summoned all the generals to the Great Tent to discuss the military situation, because he was going to Tawang City, which had to be set up and ready to meet all parties.

After the military situation is agreed, it is the turn of private affairs.

Zhao Ziyi looked at Gu Tao and thought hesitantly: Should you ask a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, or should you try to do it later?

Gu Tao was stared at by him uncomfortably, and thought: General Zhao, what's the matter? I haven't made any mistakes, don't you worry about me staying here?

Zhao Ziyi thought that everyone was a martial artist, and it was better to be cheerful, and it would inevitably be a loss of manly bearing, so he asked directly: "Deputy General Gu, Ling Aike has been married?"

Asking for a marriage is to be short.

He called himself a junior.

The generals were dumbfounded.

Gu Tao looked at Zhao Ziyi even more stupidly, and he didn't know that he had knocked over the teacup, and only after a while did he ask urgently: "The general wants to marry a little girl?"

Zhao Ziyi nodded, "Is she married?"

Gu Tao jumped up and shouted, "General, wait a while, I'll go and withdraw from my relatives!" and then rushed out of the big tent like a whirlwind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This time it was Zhao Ziyi's turn to be stupid, and hurriedly shouted: "Come back!" If you are married, how can you retreat? If it is because of him, it is not okay to ruin other people's marriages.

Gu Tao's voice came from afar: "It's not decided yet!"

Zhao Ziyi was confused: I didn't decide what to say about quitting my family?

It turned out that Gu Tao received a letter from Mrs. Gu yesterday, saying that there were several families in Beijing who came to propose marriage, asking to marry the three girls who followed him, and asked him to choose one. So he picked one. As soon as the letter was sent out this morning, Zhao Ziyi proposed to him. Can he not be in a hurry? He wants to chase the letter back and fix Zhao Ziyi. Even if the military post has already arrived at the next station, he must chase the letter back.

Zhao Ziyi, a young general who has only recently risen from the army, has a great future, looks heroic, was born in a famous family (Suzaku Palace), there are no in-laws to set rules above, there are no younger siblings to drag him down, and he has a hearty personality, this is a golden beetle son-in-law who can't be found with a lantern, Gu Tao feels that his heart and liver are trembling.

He rushed out of the tent, found the relevant person and asked that the messenger in the army had already set off, hurriedly turned over his horse, galloped on his horse, and chased after the next station.

Inside the big tent, the other generals shouted:

"General, the last general also has a daughter!"

"General, the last general has four daughters, you can choose!"

"General, the daughter of the last general is as beautiful as a flower. ”

"General, the daughter of the last general can be civil and martial. ”

"General, the little girl has not yet decided to marry. ”

Zhao Ziyi smiled and asked, "How big is Ling Ai?"

The soldier said, "Ten years old." ”

"Hahaha......"

The crowd stamped their feet and laughed.

Zhao Ziyi: "......"

So many people want to marry their daughters to him, it seems that it is not too difficult to marry a wife, and he should be able to catch up with having a son and being a brother to Wang Yan.
