On the first day of the first month, Emperor Wu issued a decree to summon the world, changing the year name to the first year of Showa. The whole world celebrates, amnesty for the whole world, and all major sins that are not heinous and unforgivable will be released back to their homes, but if there is another crime, one more degree. It's just that those who were exiled to the army didn't have such a good life, after all, soldiers were not a good profession in those days, and no one wanted to be a soldier. Therefore, those who are sentenced to be in the army can only continue to be military households.

In fact, these inspiring decrees have nothing to do with Situ Yan and them, no matter what Emperor Wu's decision is, Situ Yan only thinks about relying on his own efforts to make Wu Jin transfer.

Early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, everyone who temporarily lived in Situ Yan's house came to Wu Jin to pay New Year's greetings, and Situ Yan also specially prepared some small snacks (of course, they were all made in the ring when he was in Lijia Village before), and distributed them to Wu Jin's children as a return gift.

And the children who got the snacks were so happy that they had to worship again, which amused the adults in the courtyard. In fact, after the Chinese New Year, these people saw that the snow had melted, and after waiting for another three or five days, they could ride into the city on horseback, thinking that the officials sent by the imperial court for disaster relief should almost arrive, and they were full of hope, and from the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, they had a smile on their faces every day.

What they expected was good, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Mu Yi, the seventh prince, had already entered the border city with disaster relief grain and grass in one step, found Duanmu Xuan, and looked at Duanmu Xuan, who had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few months, and couldn't help but worry and feel distressed for him.

Duanmu Xuan teased Mu Yi indifferently, "Okay Zichu, don't look at me like a ghost." But I'm grateful that you came all the way to see me. You don't know how I've been these days? Not to mention wine, even if you have a full meal, you have never eaten a meal! That's a miserable one! Look at Mofeng again, they are not much thicker than firewood! Not even the entire General's Mansion can be found, not a single tree can be found! How can there be a little bit of a general! ”

"You also said that if you said that there was no food or drink here, you would not run out, guard such a place, make yourself like this, and see you strategizing on weekdays. Forget all the organs, why don't you think about yourself more now? Of course, Mu Yi knew Duanmu Xuan's difficulties, and he just didn't want to make himself too upset.

"You think I don't want to? However, tens of thousands of soldiers in the army were trapped, and it was a dereliction of duty for me not to be able to rescue them. If I abandon them again, let alone the emperor, even the old man of our family, I am afraid that he will not spare me. Okay, don't scold. I haven't smelled meat in a long time! ”

"I don't have much grain and grass with me, but it's enough for you to eat, and I'm afraid I will have to wait another five days or so for the relief food to arrive!"

"With you, I'm still afraid that I won't be able to get food, okay, Mofeng, get me some food." By the way, tell them to get more, so that everyone in the Iron Blood Team can have a good meal, and you have suffered a lot with your master these days! ”

"Yes. Subordinates receive orders! Mo Feng went to give the order, and Mo Yu stayed in the house to guard the two.

"Mo Yu, don't keep it, go to the Seven Princes and get some wine right away, he must have good wine hidden there! Your grandfather can bear it without meat these days, but I can't live a day without wine! "Duanmu Xuan is an alcoholic, this Mu Yi has long known that how can he come to him without wine.

"I know that you have good wine, even if you don't bring grain and grass, this wine is indispensable to you!" Mu Yi smiled and nodded to the guards beside him. Let him go with Mofeng.

"Those who know me, Brother Zichu!" Duanmu Xuan only has wine in his heart now, where else can he think of.

"Yes!" Mo Yu thought that the two of them were in the General's Mansion, and nothing could happen. At the door, there were the personal guards and iron-blooded guards of the Seven Princes, so they answered and exited the study.

"Ziheng, you took everyone away, do you have something to discuss with me?" Mu Yi felt that Duanmu Xuan was a little strange today.

"Exactly, this time the military tun suffered heavy losses. In the winter, there were three blizzards alone, not counting the large and small snowfalls, and I sent people out of the city many times, but I couldn't even discern the direction, so I couldn't count the losses until now. I'm afraid that this time I will be guilty of dereliction of duty, and I will have to admit it even if I don't admit it! After sending everyone away, Duanmu Xuan put away his playful face, and his expression was very solemn.

"This is a natural disaster, not **, what does it have to do with you? I will plead with my father for this! Duanmu Xuan is his close friend and relative, how can he not save him when he dies.

"That's what I'm talking about, when you write a recital, don't intercede for me, just write down what you actually see, I'm also about to send someone to send a letter to my father, the court will use this matter to suppress and impeach my father and son, there must be a lot of people in the court to suppress and impeach my father and son, and the emperor will not be embarrassed for me, as long as my father doesn't have any disputes with the emperor, I will only lose my official here, not to mention that this official is not what I prayed for, and I have no loss if I lose it!"

"If that's the case, won't you let those people see the joke when you return to Beijing?" Mu Yi was still unwilling, Duanmu Xuan was so tired that he got rid of his appearance for the sake of the victims, but in exchange for losing his official position, it was too hurtful.

"Laugh and laugh, I don't lose a piece of meat, and in the eyes of those people, I'm just a dumb kid. What's more, my family is not waiting for my idea to support my family, what am I afraid of! ”

"Maybe my father's side can still be blessed by misfortune, serving by the emperor's side, I'm not afraid of your mistakes, I'm afraid that you're good!" Duanmu Xuan originally wanted to say that he was a master of high merit, but after all, Emperor Wu was the father of the Seventh Prince, and he still had some scruples when he spoke.

"yes? Sometimes a mistake is better than a good one. Okay, it's time for your wine to come, I can only drink a few sips, look at your body, if you drink too much, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Lang Zhong to treat you! ”

"Okay, you can accompany me to drink a few glasses, and when you have rested enough, we will go to Juntun. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I'm not only suffering here, but also Duan Jiayuan! ”

"Where did you come from, could it be that there are still beautiful women in the city here?" Mu Yicai didn't believe Duanmu Xuan's words, where is there a beautiful woman in this city.

"This woman not only has the appearance of sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, but even ice and snow are smart and blue!" Duanmu Xuan's face was full of yearning, he wanted to tell Mu Yi about Situ Yan's martial arts, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words, thinking that it was better not to make a noise until he was sure.

"Ziheng, you shouldn't be hungry, right? In this place, when I first entered the city, I could see clearly, the city was full of victims, and I didn't even see a person in bright clothes. ”

"This person should still be in the military camp now, and Zichu, although you have never seen this person. But they should have known each other for a long time. It's just that now after the snow disaster, I wonder if she is okay? The worry that flashed in Duanmu Xuan's eyes was just missed by Mu Yi, who was drinking tea with his head down, otherwise Mu Yi would have thought that he was dazzled. The famous prodigal son of Wu will have a relationship for a commoner woman, and I am afraid that I don't know how many celebrities in the capital will be heartbroken.

"The more you talk about this, the more confused I become, who are you referring to?"

"Zhongxian's sister, Situ Yan."

"This can't be?" Mu Yi subconsciously objected. But then I thought about it, maybe this is really possible, after all, this is a slight coincidence with what he has verified, "What you said, I remembered, I have been looking for the whereabouts of Zhongxian's sister since you left, and I only found the person with the same name in Henan County two months ago, and I sent someone to inquire at that time, this person had left a few months ago, and now his whereabouts are unknown." Could it be that she really ran to the northwest. From the capital to the northwest, how can she run so far alone? Could it be that someone can't protect each other? ”

"There is no one to protect him, and he is disguised and alone!" After listening to Mu Yi's words, Duanmu Xuan was even more sure that the little brother Situ was Wu Jin's sister Situ Yan.

"Ziheng, you're afraid that you met a lonely fairy halfway and had a sweet dream, right? She is only ten years old this year, and she was only nine years old when you met her, not to mention a girl, but a man, and it is difficult to walk an inch on this thousand-mile road without anyone to accompany her! ”

"You say that. She's really not alone, and she's accompanied by a mule and a dog! ”

"Ziheng, it's not that I don't believe it, it's not convincing at all. Unless I see it with my own eyes. Otherwise, I would never believe it! ”

"Even if I see it with my own eyes, I can't really know for sure, let alone listen to you. If it weren't for this sudden snowstorm, I would have figured things out a long time ago, and I wouldn't have been as deliberate as I am now! ”

"When the matter in the city is settled, we will set off immediately. I want to see that if this woman is really like this, not to mention you, even I will be tempted by it! ”

"Zichu, I can rely on you for anything else, only her, I am the only one!"

"Hahaha, I just said it casually, but you took it seriously!"

"A friend's wife can't be bullied, you can't make a joke about this!" Duanmu Xuan's serious face made Mu Yi feel very surprised, but he was also even more curious about Situ Yan.

Of course, Duanmu Xuan is serious, but now it's because Zichu hasn't seen Situ Yan yet, if he does, what man can not be tempted by him. He also took precautions before they happened, so as not to hurt the brotherhood when he got it.

"Okay, this strange woman comparable to a man, only suitable for you, I will be exempted, if such a character really enters the palace, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to die from someone else's assassination calculation, wouldn't it be a pity!"

"Then I'm thankful!" Seeing that Mu Yi didn't care, Duanmu Xuan felt a little relieved, he didn't want to make any choice between his lover and friends.

Where would Mu Yi have thought that such a woman can not only live well in the mortal world, but can be like a fish in water even if she enters the palace, and by the time he regrets it, this woman has already married a woman and become his cousin.

The two chatted for a while, and then Mo Yu brought in the warm wine and a few plates of appetizers. At this time, the two of them were actually not in the mood to really chant poems about wine in the house, so they simply ate and drank and went to distribute grain and grass. Although the food brought by Mu Yi is limited, it is still possible for the people in the city to eat porridge for a few more days until the relief grain arrives.

Of course, it is also necessary to appease the powerful officials and relatives in the city who were looted by Duanmu Xuan and complained, the wealthy businessmen and wealthy families, and even the local officials who came up to give gifts to the prince are also in an endless stream, squeezing the entire general's mansion into the water, and the seventh prince is three points busier than Duanmu Xuan, the serious master of the general's mansion.

"Ziheng, how could you offend these villains, if it wasn't me, I'm afraid that the impeachment would have been sent to the capital at this time?" Mu Yi looked at the greeting stickers sent by these people in front of him, and was annoyed.

"I knew that it would be you who came, and even if this kind of drudgery was given to the prince, he would not come. So naturally I'm waiting for you to clean up the aftermath for me! In fact, Duanmu Xuan just said casually, no matter whether the Qin Cha who came to him was Zichu or not, he would act like this, after all, human life is important, and other wealth and glory are not valued by him.

"What are you talking about? Forget it, you don't care about this matter, I'll help you appease them, but I'm afraid that if someone has a heart to respond, there will still be some action in secret, you still have to be more embankment! Of course Mu Yi will do his best, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and these people are just superficial for him.

"I can't escape the crime of dereliction of duty, and I'm afraid that a few more will not succeed! Don't worry! The emperor won't kill me, will he? Duanmu Xuan felt that it didn't matter if he had this official position or not, anyway, no matter how big a mistake there was, the emperor would not kill him if he saw Liang Rengong's face.

"It's all like this, you're still making fun of it, sometimes I really want to knock your head open and see what's in it?"

"Don't, look at me, I don't even have a guy to drink, so what's the point of this life! And I've just found a good match, no matter what, you have to let me find out where the beautiful woman is first? ”

Mu Yi knew that this cousin was not a good drinker and lustful person at all, so he just didn't want to put too much pressure on him, so he couldn't be like this, how could he not know after so many years of getting along.

The two chatted for a while, and Mu Yi was asked to leave again. Mo Feng is coming back from the resettlement houses at this time, "Back to the young master, the grain and grass brought by the Seven Princes have been distributed, and it will last at least another ten days, as long as the grain and grass from the imperial court arrives, the victims will be saved!" ”

"What is the movement of the victims? Is there a troublemaker? ”

"No, even those big families don't find fault! The subordinates seem to be much quieter than a few days ago! ”

"Yes, the weather is getting warmer, and it's time for spring flowers to bloom, I just hope that there will be a good harvest this year, and the people will no longer have to fight with livestock for food! It's best if those people don't make trouble, and if they make trouble this time, let them taste the taste of prison food! Duanmu Xuan's words came from feeling, looking at those helpless women and children, one by one freezing to death and starving to death on the side of the street, it was more unacceptable than going to the battlefield to fight and watching the enemy fall in front of him.

The people in the border city had already hoped for hope, but they also cried with the little food they had received. And Situ Yan was still surrounded by snow, although she could barely travel, but there was no shortage of food and grass at home, so she didn't rush to the city to inquire, so naturally she didn't know that the court had come. (To be continued.) )
