There has been a nationwide training boom in the county, and in the streets and alleys, you can see people everywhere and everywhere who are holding wooden sticks and seriously piercing the T-shaped steps to practice bayonets.

Zhu Yuenuan looked at these people silently, walking leisurely all the way, looking relieved and sad.

"It's cold, let's go back." Chu Yitong walked from a distance with a cotton cloak, stopped behind her, shook off the cloak to wrap her, and whispered softly.

"Hmm." Zhu Yuenuan looked down at the hands that were tying the knot for her, responded softly, and smiled sweetly on the side.

Chu Yitong looked back with a smile, tied the knot of the cloak for her, took her hand, interlocked his fingers, and walked in the direction of the county office.

The sky was gloomy, but in the distance was a strange red, reflecting the city and mountains.

On the long streets, children could be seen running from time to time, each with a short stick in their hands, gesturing in a good way, completely ignoring the cold wind that whizzed from time to time.

"I sent Al to Mount Liuxi." Walking quietly across half the street, Chu Yitong suddenly spoke softly.

"Aren't you afraid that they will run away?" Zhu Yuenuan leaned beside him, tightened her interlocking fingers, and gently put her other hand on the crook of his elbow, asking very calmly.

"Don't be afraid, this person Al is somewhat similar to that lump, they are both temperamental people." Chu Yitong shook his head lightly and used a very affirmative tone.

"That's right." Zhu Yuenuan smiled and agreed.

Chu Yitong looked down at her, his gaze was deep, revealing a certain determined light.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuenuan met her eyes and blinked a little strangely.

"It's okay, let's go home." Chu Yitong smiled and pulled her to continue walking back.

Zhu Yuenuan didn't say much, only obediently led by him, walked through the long street, and walked past everyone's smiling eyes.

The end of the year is always very busy.

The city defense must be guarded, the New Year's goods must be prepared, and there are all kinds of trivial matters.

Chu Yitong was so busy that it was dark. Zhu Yuenuan was also not idle for a moment, patrolling the city, training troops, and taking time to study the crossbow.

The Boxing Rites and New Year's goods were all taken care of by Zhu Fu and You Hong.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, I got up early in the morning. Snow began to fall in the sky.

"My lord, Gao Qi is here." Xunzhu hurriedly came and stood at the door and replied.

"Who's coming?" Chu Yitong moved, and was pressed back to the table by Zhu Yuenuan, and then asked.

Zhu Yuenuan just looked at the door. I concentrated on helping him comb his hair.

"It's said that it's the master next to the prefect." Xun Zhu replied quickly, "Master Hu is accompanied." ”

"Got it." Chu Yitong didn't move, and sat calmly, "Let Master Guan greet him well." ”

Zhu Yuenuan smiled lightly: "I don't know what I'm here for this time." ”

"No one knows about the iron mine in the mountains, so it must be for the sake of those people in prison." Chu Yitong said with a smile.

"Credit." Zhu Yuenuan smiled and shook her head, "This prefect doesn't know where it is sacred, so arrogant." ”

"He is arrogant with him, what do we have to do with it." Chu Yitong looked in the mirror. watched her put on a black veil for him and curled the corners of her hair, before she got up and helped her shoulder, "Don't go to the iron shop for the time being these days, save someone from chasing the wind and shadows, and arranging yours." ”

"Don't worry, just those people, can you still catch me?" Zhu Yuenuan said a little disappreciatively, took a step back, and brushed the empty dust particles on his shoulders. After straightening his clothes, he stood with his hands and said with a smile, "Let's eat first." It doesn't matter what he's from. ”

"Okay." Chu Yitong couldn't help but nod dotingly.

After passing the meal, the two of them ate and chatted slowly, and it seemed that there was nothing to do with anyone from Gao Qi Mansion.

"Xunzhu." Seeing Chu Yitong out of the courtyard, Zhu Yuenuan recruited Xunzhu. He commanded in a low voice, "Go to the front and listen, why is the master sent by the master here?" ”

"Okay." Xun Zhu was stunned for a moment, immediately nodded like a chicken pecking, and ran away.

Zhu Yue Nuan went to do her own thing.

Towards noon, the fluttering snow gradually became heavier, and soon the sky of the gate was changed to silver makeup.

The people in the city are also rarely idle, and friends invite each other to have a drink at home, or gather in a tavern to drink and chat.

You Cui's tavern has changed owners, but business is still booming.

"Do you know who we are?" Zhu Yuenuan came back from the iron shop, and heard a commotion in front of the tavern from a distance, and couldn't help but be surprised, so she turned around and walked over there.

But I saw that there were two tall young men standing in front of the tavern, both wearing green shirts, looking at the nursing home of a large family, standing there pointing at the people in the tavern and scolding.

There were also a lot of people sitting in the tavern, and one of the tables was Xu Liuchang and a few of his subordinates.

Seeing Zhu Yuenuan, Xu Liuchang grinned and raised the wine jug in his hand to signal.

Zhu Yuenuan smiled and was about to go in.

"Wait." Unexpectedly, Yokori stretched out an arm to block her way.

Zhu Yuenuan immediately stopped and looked at it lightly.

It was one of the two young men who stopped her, he glanced at her, raised his chin and looked at Zhu Yuenuan with his eyelids, and said lightly: "Who are you kid?" Didn't you just say you couldn't share a table? How can he be again? ”

Zhu Yuenuan glanced at him and said coldly: "Take your hand away." ”

"Who is she? Haha, didn't you inquire before you came to the gate? Xu Liuchang laughed, pointed at Zhu Yuenuan and said, "She is not someone you can offend, I advise you, it's cold, let's go home and rest." ”

When the two of them heard this, they glanced at each other, looked at Zhu Yuenuan, and after a while, they seemed to have an answer, and sneered disdainfully: "Master doesn't care who she is, in front of Ye, everyone has to give way." ”

"What a big breath." Zhu Yuenuan looked at the man who spoke, and suddenly her eyes stopped at his waist, the two of them were dressed in the same way, but the jade pendant that this person was wearing was superior, obviously not small, she groaned slightly, and said disdainfully, "This is Qimen County, under the jurisdiction of Gaoqi Mansion, can you still be as big as the prefect if you have a background?" ”

"Hmph." The man raised his head arrogantly, "Even if you have a little knowledge, the prefect of Gaoqi Mansion is my brother-in-law." ”

"Oh~~~" Zhu Yuenuan seemed to be suddenly, and nodded in a long voice.

The man was a little proud, and when he was about to brag with Zhu Yuenuan, Zhu Yuenuan said with a serious expression: "I don't know." ”

"You!" The man who was being proud suddenly changed his face, stared at Zhu Yuenuan gloomily, slowly raised his horizontal arm, and pointed a finger at Zhu Yuenuan with a fierce expression.

"What's wrong with me? Even the county lord has never met the prefect, isn't it normal that a little person like me doesn't know him? The prefect doesn't know which one, let alone how many brothers-in-law the prefect has. Zhu Yuenuan smiled faintly, "Dare to ask you if you are the younger brother of Mrs. Lady of the Prefect?"
