In the early summer in the northwest, the blazing light of the sun shines on the vast and vast grasslands, and the sky in the distance seems to merge with the earth.

A snow-white white horse galloped over, only to see a woman in black on the horse, the woman had black and bright hair, white skin and ruddy temporarily, lips pursed, as if thinking about something, this woman looked only sixteen or seventeen, but the deep eyes revealed a kind of indifference, if there was no indifference to the age, I am afraid that this woman's temperament would be a little less tasteful.

Rongcheng reveals the peculiar scene of the combination of nomadic culture and Central Plains culture, not only the Central Plains people wearing large-sleeved robes walking on the street, but also the foreigners wearing foreign costumes.

But seven years ago, this was still the land of the Liao State, and now if the Liao State wants to seize the Sixteen Cities in the Northwest by force again, I am afraid that it is not so easy, because in front of the dilapidated old city wall of Rongcheng, there is a huge city wall that cannot be described in words, it is said that the lord invented something harder than stone, and built the city wall, this huge city wall, it took a full seven years, and it has just been completed, so that the northwest can be regarded as completely safe.

In the mansions of the governors of the two northwestern provinces, Wen Jun and Zhang Weiwen sat opposite each other, looking at a map, Zhang Weiwen had grown a beard, looking a little older than seven years ago, but he was becoming more and more shrewd and capable, and Wen Jun was already gray-haired, but he was also in good spirits, I saw Wen Jun touch his beard and said, "Tautology, the official department has issued an official document to summon you back to Beijing." ”

"The situation between the DPRK and China is becoming more and more tense." Zhang Weiwen sighed, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he remembered something, Wen Jun saw his look, sighed, and said, "It doesn't mean much to whoever you mean, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, no one can move you." ”

"I also know, His Majesty seems to intend to set up the Seventh Highness as the prince, the prince's health has become worse and worse in recent years, the Seven Princes and the queen have been moving frequently recently, these few months, when my uncle replied to me, he said, I want to stay in the northwest, don't wade into this muddy water, but I didn't think that I still can't help myself."

"Repeatedly, it's not easy to be an official, wait until the old man finishes the last thing, go back to Jinling Academy, and never ask about the world again, but you still have to rise and fall in this sea of eunuchs." Wen Jun picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and said.

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, please pay more attention to Elder Wen after you leave, then the Qi family, I can also help you in the court." Zhang Weiwen's tone was earnest, but with a kind of gnashing hatred. ”

Wen Jun sighed and said, "It's been so long since that incident, you still haven't let go, it's already a great good thing for a gentleman to keep filial piety for his wife for three years, and now it's been seven years, and you are still cumin, it's a pity." I saw Zhang Weiwen's eyes darkened, and he said, "How dare you forget the hatred of killing your wife." ”

"You have to know that the Qi family has deep roots in the northwest, and after returning to the imperial court, it seems to be close to the Seven Kings and the party, if they are enemies, this is to intervene in the party struggle."

"I know, I will keep Elder Wen's words in my heart, but if I don't take revenge, I feel uneasy."

Wen Jun was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, "Miaomiao, that girl seems to be back, she is a woman who is circling around the grassland, but she is also hard." ”

"After so many years, that girl still doesn't make people worry at all, she still runs around when she's so old." Zhang Weiwen showed a doting smile on his face, and at this time, someone outside the door suddenly reported, "Lord Zhang, the little guy in your house has come to report, Miss Lingfu has returned, let you go back quickly, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Weiwen got up to say goodbye to Wen Jun, and hurried back to his mansion all the way, and saw his daughter dressed in black, standing slim in front of the hall.

"Daddy, my daughter is back."

When the two walked into the house, Zhang Weiwen said, "This time, I encountered something thrilling. ”

"My daughter has always acted safely, so naturally there is no danger, but when I talked to the Jurchen tribe, I got some information.

Zhang Weiwen paused and said, "What is it?" Jinyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "It is the information that the Qi family and the Liao State are trading salt and iron, as long as we send a group of capable spies, maybe we can find evidence, and when the time comes, my father will report this information to His Majesty the Emperor, maybe we can take the Qi family in one fell swoop." ”

Zhang Weiwen sighed and said, "I will inform the governor of this matter, but I'm afraid it's not so easy, the Qi family has a deep heritage, and the matter of exchanging salt and iron with the Liao State has been going on for many years, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get evidence when I am idle, besides, the backer of the Qi family is the one in the palace." This matter needs to be considered in the long term. Jinyu's forehead was bruised.

"Think long-term? Daddy, how long has my mother been dead? ”

"Seven years." Zhang Weiwen's voice was a little bitter, as if it took a lot of courage to say this, Jinyu originally thought that she would not be so sad, but when she heard these two words, she still trembled subconsciously.

"It's been seven years, and my mother's bones may have turned into white bones." Jinyu's deep eyes looked at Zhang Weiwen faintly, and Zhang Weiwen stroked his forehead with some pain.

"Daddy will be going back to Beijing soon, you go back with your father, your age is also up, and the He family is also urging you to marry He Su quickly."

"I don't want to get married." Jinyu said a little stubbornly, Zhang Weiwen suddenly got a little angry, and said angrily, "How can a girl not get married." At this time, the sun was sinking outside the house, Jinyu stood up and walked to the door, then turned around, and said, "Didn't Daddy say that girls can also control their own destiny?" ”

Zhang Weiwen just discovered that her daughter had become so beautiful, with a slender and delicate body, a beautiful face, and stubborn eyes.

Since when did he begin to be assimilated by this world, and no longer believe in what he once believed in in his previous life, this is that there are still too few strong people in the world after all, and some people still can't bear the cruelty of fate after all, but he is still different in the end, different from most people in this world.

"If you don't like this marriage, Daddy can help you get rid of it, as long as you're happy anyway." Jinyu's body shook slightly, she turned around, and a faint smile bloomed, and the red light of the sunset shone on Jinyu's young face, which looked very full of vitality.

"Daddy, thank you very much."
