The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve is here again in a snap of a finger, and after this night, it is a new year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This year, for Northern Qi and Zimo, it was a magnificent year of ups and downs.

In the first half of the year, the State of Qi finally swept away the remnants of the Northern Zhou and Turkic forces in Jinyang and Luoyang as victors.

In the second half of the year, the disaster broke out in the Xiao Wall, and the mutiny that arose in Gwangju almost caused the people of Qi to suffer again.

Ever-changing, dangerous. Fortunately, everything has turned into good fortune.

In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, the people on the streets of Yecheng look at the spring snow sprinkled with dense overhead, and they are not afraid of the cold, and the market is crowded with people under the dark sky

The cloak on Zimo's body was stained with a lot of snowflakes, and the oil-paper umbrella in his hand also accumulated a thick layer of snow. He had just gone to Luxiang Courtyard to deliver the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to his third brother, and on the way back, someone sent him a message, saying that General Duan Shen was escorting the two felons of King Danyang and King Le'an, and he was almost outside the gate of Yecheng.

The man had a totem tattooed on the inside of his wrist, and at a glance it was clear that it was sent by Mr. Liu.

"Dare to ask this brother, did the other person I asked Mr. Liu to inquire about arrived home safely?" Zimo also asked Mr. Liu to inquire about Murong Chong's whereabouts, and it was really helpless that day, and he didn't see Murong Rou come to report his safety afterwards, so he could only rely on Mr. Liu's ears and eyes again.

"Your Highness, I don't know. It's better to ask the shopkeeper in person at the wine store another day. The man shook his head and said that he didn't know, and under Zi Mo's disappointed look, he unknowingly blended into the crowd again and disappeared.

Zi Mo looked at the bustling flow of people and lost his mind for a moment.

The color of loneliness was like snow falling on his eyelashes, slowly turning into dew drops and dotting his eyebrows. The oil-paper umbrella pressed down, blocking Zimo's view, he owed the phoenix too much to excuse it.

Outside the city, the snow was falling heavily.

In the vast white wilderness, there was only one path that was trampled out of a wet muddy road by Duan Jiajun.

I could have taken the official road, but tonight it happened to be Chinese New Year's Eve. Duan Shen is a very thoughtful person, from the official road to the Dongfeng Gate to the palace, it must be huge and eye-catching, whether it is the prisoners on the prisoner car being scolded and accused by tens of thousands of people on the street, or adding a little death to the jubilant Yecheng in this happy season of family happiness, it is not something that Duan Shen is happy to see. So I planned to enter through a side gate in Yecheng, bypassing the market avenue, thinking less noticeable.

Gao Li Neng took the initiative to surrender by reining in the precipice, which also made the rebellion in Gwangju City calm down more smoothly. Looking at the weather-beaten King Le'an in the prisoner car, Duan Shen couldn't help but shake his head. He is more than half a hundred years old, why bother? His loyalty to the King of Hejian is much more admirable than the grass-like King Danyang behind him.

When I was about to enter the city, I couldn't help but see a person standing quietly outside the city wall with an oil-paper umbrella in his hand. The eyes were full of snow, and I saw that the person's green silk was raised, and his posture was graceful, as if he was in ink and blue.

"This 。。。。。。 Is it His Highness Changgong?" Someone in the Duan family army whispered, and many soldiers who had already fallen into a daze knew that the object of their heartbeat was the man who was as invincible as a ghost and god with his face and body, and suddenly his face was like a frosted eggplant, and he shook his head and was completely sober.

"It's really hard to distinguish between male and female when Your Highness doesn't wear armor, I thought that this goblin appeared on a snowy day!" There was a bold soldier who actually said the voice of the big guy, Duan Shen frowned and looked at it, that person was a light cavalry under the eldest brother Duan Yi, and Sui Xiaoyong and others had followed the King of Lanling to fight against the Zhou army during the Battle of Jinzhou, so he was not taboo and joked with General Sui Xiaoyong next to him with a hippie smile.

"Bah, what nonsense! Your Highness, that's the Nine Heavens Fairy, goblin? You're the goblin!

"Why are you so happy?" Zi Mo put away the umbrella, walked to Duan Jiajun, and helped Duan Shen tuck the horse chew of the war horse under him, the horse snorted hot air on the spot, sniffed Zi Mo's slender fingers, and was very well-behaved.

"I've seen His Royal Highness Changgong. Duan Shen dismounted and made a move. The soldiers behind him also clasped their fists and saluted Zi Mo.

Zi Mo also shook his fists, and couldn't help but look at the prisoner car, only one head could poke out of the cage Gao Li's eyebrows were white because of the snow, and he squinted his eyes and looked over, and when he saw that it was King Lanling, he grinned with a dry mouth.

"But the shackles just put on?" Zi Mo walked towards the prisoner car and whispered to Duan Shen beside him.

"I see that he is old and wants to open up the net, but King Kelean said that he would be guilty of pleading, refused to get out of the cage, and was very stubborn. Duan Shen said.

Zi Mo knew that this Gao Li was such a character, and when he came to the prison car, King Le'an was much older than he had seen a month ago, his face was tired, and his face was mottled by the cold wind.

"Uncle, you have suffered. Zi Mo got into the prison car and said to Gao Li outside the cage.

"Not bitter, not bitter。。。。。。 How is the king of Hejian?" Gao Li asked his third brother first, and Zimo couldn't help but be stunned.

"Okay, third brother, he's fine. Uncle, Shilian and Asatsuki are also very good, you can rest assured. Zimo said.

The cold wind howled, and the snowflakes split his head and face and fell on Gao Li's forehead. The drooping old man's face was full of embarrassment, and his eyes were shining brightly at the moment.

He shook his hand and said softly gratefully: "Your Highness, you will be rewarded for being a cow and a horse in your next life!"

"Uncle, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and when you arrive in Yecheng, it can be regarded as an end to the road of wind and rain, don't think about anything, eat and drink well before the New Year." I've got you covered with other things. Zi Mo patted Gao Li's hand soothingly and got out of the prisoner car.

"Your Highness ~~~ Your Highness !!"

Zimo heard someone shouting at him, and following the voice, it was Li Zuxun, the king of Danyang.

It was probably because King Danyang saw him talking to Gao Li and felt that it was almost tricky, so he squeezed his eyebrows and shook his head in this direction.

Zi Mo got closer, Li Zuxun was even more excited, his hands were handcuffed and swayed with chains, shouting: "Your Highness, Your Highness~ I was wronged! The old man wanted to soar into glory and wealth, but he implicated me! I was really kept in the dark, I was wronged~~~~~~~~~~ Your Highness, you must explain to His Majesty the Emperor for me!"

Zi Mo frowned, and stayed away from the prisoner car.

"Hey, Your Highness, don't go? I have evidence, I have the evidence in my hand that Gao Li instigated the rebellion of the King of Hejian, everything is this old man, he planned it! Your Highness, I am wronged~~~~~~~ God~~~~~~~~~~ I Li Zuxun is really wronged~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The ghost cries and the wolf howls, and the king of Danyang is like killing a pig. He stared at the blue circles in his eyes, and insisted that King Le'an was the mastermind.

Zi Mo looked at the situation, didn't say much, turned around and walked to the front of the team.

Duan Shen gestured, and the escorted army continued to walk towards the city gate.

Li Zuxun cried and screamed, leaving himself completely abandoned, saying that he was recruiting mining laborers according to the orders of the King of Hejian, and he didn't know the details. Duan Shen said.

He knew very well in his heart that among these people, he was a relative, not surnamed Gao, and he was also the weakest one, and if he wanted to protect himself, it was no wonder that he had to fight a rake first. ”

"Heh, Your Highness can see it through. If the king of Danyang is determined to be the king of Le'an, I think the king of Le'an is。。。。。。 Duan Shen looked back at the white-haired Gao Li, with a slight regret in his eyes.

"I'll think about it later. Uncle was able to listen to my persuasion to abandon the city and surrender, which can be regarded as a mistake, and I want to protect the third brother, but I can't use King Le'an as a scapegoat. ”

Zi Mo was talking to Duan Shen as he walked, the oil-paper umbrella was not opened in his hand, and the snow fell on Zi Mo's hair. Duan Shen saw the snowflakes on his shoulders, and unconsciously raised his hand to help him gently dust it off, Zi Mo smiled slightly on his side face and hugged him to thank him, and while speaking, he found that there was a sound of whispering and laughing in the Duan family army behind him, and he turned back suspiciously, but saw a few soldiers who hurriedly buried their heads in a weak heart.

"What do you guys have to do, can you tell Chang Gong one or two?" Zi Mo stopped, turned around and asked the Duan Jiajun who was frowning.

The soldiers who were familiar with each other quickly straightened their expressions, coughed lightly and regained their respectful appearance.

Zi Mo raised one side of his eyebrows, these people only lead troops to fight on weekdays, where can they pretend, they just want to cover up.

"Sui Xiaoyong, General Sui. Zi Mo shouted.

"Here!" General Sui replied with a serious face.

"What were you twittering behind my back just now? What is there not to say about a manly man? If you take out a Coke, I will be happy. Zimo said.

When Sui Xiaoyong heard this, his face really became a little turbulent, a little embarrassed, he glanced at the soldiers around him, and felt that His Royal Highness Lanling was reasonable, so he raised his head and said: "Tell Your Highness, these brothers next to me all say that Your Highness is really beautiful and beautiful, and even with his back, he is stunning in the city, and he walks with General Duan。。。。。。 It's like a fairy... Companion... With that, he raised his chin a little, then coughed slightly. Looking into the distance, he didn't seem to see His Royal Highness Lanling looking at him in a daze.

After Sui Xiaoyong finished speaking, another meaningful snicker came out in the Duan family's army. It seems that Duan Shen is very popular in the army on weekdays, and those soldiers are not afraid of him, and when they saw that their general's face was still red, they smiled even more.

"Put... Presumptuous!" Duan Shen stammered with laughter, waved the whip in his hand, stepped forward and pointed at Sui Xiaoyong, and they scolded, "Don't think that you are my eldest brother's subordinates can be so unscrupulous and dare to joke with His Royal Highness Changgong?!"

"Okay, okay, the big guy just made a long journey to Yecheng safely, and he was happy to catch up with the New Year. Zi Mo dissuaded Duan Shen, and he didn't care, and said to the soldiers, "I know that everyone has no malicious intentions, so I can't blame you for your jokes." However, all the soldiers of the Duan Family Army, I hope that in the future, you will still remember the appearance of my iron-faced battle armor, and don't take it too seriously. Changgong is a dignified man, and he is not too proud to be born like this!"

"Hahahaha. When the soldiers of the Duan family army heard Zi Mo say this, they also saw the really heroic character of His Royal Highness Lanling, and they all laughed heartily.

After saying that, all the soldiers saw that they could go home for the New Year, so they were not restrained and laughed all the way into Yecheng.

Li Zuxun listened to the excitement in front of him, and he didn't know why, so he poked his head out of the cage to see what was going on.

King Le'an was closer to them, and he was happy to laugh when he heard the ridicule of Zimo and the soldiers. His Royal Highness Changgong is truly different, outstanding and kind-hearted. On the way, he heard that the king of Hejian had come out of the prison and was only under house arrest in the royal courtyard, so he knew that he was trusting the right person, and this Gao Changgong really helped His Royal Highness Xiaowan. sighed in his heart, he didn't look down on this humble Wenxiang fourth son at the beginning, it seems that he is really old, and he is getting more and more blind.

After entering Yecheng, King Le'an and King Danyang were escorted into the prison.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the guards in the heavenly prison also had some favors, and Zimo gave some silver taels, so they agreed to add some dishes, wine, and bedding to Gao Li and Li Zuxun.

"Uncle, after the emperor is established in a few days, although you are not in the amnesty list, you can still enjoy some blessings. I will send a good doctor to take a look at your body, and if there are any problems, I will come back to see you in a few days, and you can tell me. Zimo said.

"Hehe, that's enough, that's enough. His Royal Highness Changgong has taken enough care of me. By the way, I still have something for Your Highness. Gao Li said, and a pendant was formed from his neck.

"I hope Your Majesty will bring this thing to my son, but I forgot it in a hurry that day. Gao Li said with a smile.

Zi Mo only felt that the pendant was finely carved, and the white jade was glowing with a thick light, but he didn't see what it was, and nodded and put it into his waist seal.

When he got out of the prison, it was dark.

"His Royal Highness Changgong. ”

Zi Mo found that Duan Shen was still waiting for him outside the prison, and walked forward quickly.

"It's freezing cold, General Duan hasn't gone to the banquet yet?" "Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the emperor is happy again, so today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is more grand than ever, and all civil and military officials must attend.

"His Royal Highness Changgong didn't forget, I'm still waiting to go with His Highness, I'm afraid you forgot about it. Duan Shen said with a smile.

Zi Mo smiled crampedly when he heard this, he really wanted to be himself and just forgot to go. However, Gao Zhan will definitely not be so perfunctory by him, even if Cui Niang and Zheng Er in the family are also looking forward to having a reunion dinner with him, they can only go to the palace first.

So, Zi Mo went to the palace with Duan Shen. On the way, Zimo asked about Duan Yi's whereabouts. I chased him after him before, thinking that Duan Yi would definitely come back to join him when he returned to Yecheng, but he didn't hear the news of Duan Dagongzi's return to the city for more than a month, so he didn't feel a little puzzled.

"Your Highness Changgong, don't you know? My eldest brother only stayed in Gwangju for a few days, and was about to return to Yecheng when he was sent elsewhere by a military order from his father. Duan Shen said.

"Oh, Grand Duke Duan was not stationed in Gwangju City, but was transferred elsewhere, do you know where it is?" Zimo couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It should be the northern frontier, I heard that General Murong Shaozong will return to Yecheng to visit relatives after the New Year, and the garrison there must not be without a leader, and my father can't get away now, so he transferred my eldest brother first. Duan Shen replied.

"General Murong Shaozong is returning to Yecheng?!" Zi Mo frowned. This northern Xinjiang has always been the place of General Murong, and it has been guarded for more than 20 years, and it is really strange to say that this visit to relatives is really unusual. Besides, how could General Duan Shao, who had always been guarding Gyeonggi, meddle in the affairs of the northern garrison?

In the past few days, Zi Mo has been running around on Sunday and has been haggard, and the emperor above the court has not mentioned the change of commander at all, and now when he heard Duan Shen say this, he remembered what Murong Rou in Gwangju City said, Yan Guo really wants to restore the country? !

Phoenix's wish is to come true。。。。。。 Zi Mo had mixed feelings in his heart, he was both happy and sad.

The happy thing is that if the Yan Kingdom is revived, Phoenix will have a mother country that can be based and relied on, and it will no longer be criticized by people everywhere. And Phoenix has always said that this is his long-cherished wish, and now that he has really achieved his wish, he should be happy for Phoenix. When he was handed over to Murong Rou, he felt that when the phoenix arrived at his hometown and returned to his clan, he should be able to recover quickly and not have to suffer from separation.

But if you think about it carefully, Zi Mo Buzi will not feel sinking.

The country of Yan was re-established, where is there such a simple thing. Isn't the dispatch of troops exactly the momentum of sharpening swords? When the time comes, it will inevitably be another battle. Suddenly thinking of whether the phoenix would meet him on the battlefield one day, Zi Mo was shocked. Phoenix shouldn't do that。。。。。。 Zi Mo shook his head and scattered the worries in his heart, he was really worried.

Smiling bitterly, Duan Shen next to him looked at Zi Mo, who had an entangled expression, and his face became a little darker.

"His Royal Highness Changgong, General Duan Shen, the two of you are late!" As soon as they entered Jiuhuatai, a minister stepped forward and gently teased, "The two of you are stepping on the snow to enjoy the scenery, you should have forgotten the time." Hahaha。。。。。。 ”

Zi Mo smiled, he and Duan Shen were both good-tempered, and they were also thoroughly understood by the old men in the court, and they joked with them from time to time. He was about to find a seat below with Duan Shen, but he heard Gao Zhan on the dragon seat wave to this side and say loudly: "Changgong, come forward and sit here." ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the noisy and lively hall stopped for a while, and many ministers looked at each other, and the position of the emperor's left hand was the queen's throne。。。。。。

Duan Shen stood beside Zi Mo, and his face was also surprised.
