"Chiyang City" is the core city of northern Xinjiang, and the Zhenbei Royal Mansion is built in the center of Chiyang City. When Nalan Jinxiu and Xu Jince and their entourage arrived at the palace, someone had already gone back in advance to report that a large group of people were standing at the gate of the palace, in a formation and in an orderly manner.

The army of King Zhenbei is called "Xuanjia Army", and a large part of the Xuanjia army is pro-soldiers, so some people call it "Xujia Army". The guards in the palace are also different from the guards of ordinary officials' families, they are drawn from Xu Jince's personal soldiers, and they are all normal armies with numbers.

The guards in the palace are so strict, and it is also because of the unrest in the northern Xinjiang. The northern frontier of Ningguo borders Beiyan, and the two countries are bounded by Canglongling. To the north of Canglongling is the plain, which is the boundary of Beiyan. Beiyan is a nomadic people, with fertile water and grass, many cattle and sheep, and a total of 7 tribes. The people there are fierce and warlike by nature, and they rely on strong soldiers and horses, and often cause wars in the northern Xinjiang.

Even Chiyang City has a lot of spies in ambush, and they often fight a big battle. The soldiers of the Zhenbei Wangfu also often go out to patrol.

Auspicious Ruyi, I have never seen this kind of battle, I just feel that it is extremely spectacular, and I am so excited that I don't know what to say. Nalan Jinxiu also felt that this was a bit exaggerated, she was just going home, as for being so hard-working? Being watched by so many big men, not to mention auspicious wishes, even she was a little afraid to get out of the car.

The car stopped, and Xu Jince, who was riding a horse at the front of the team, turned over and dismounted neatly. A young man standing at the gate of the palace ran over and hugged him. The distance is too far, and Nalan Jinxiu can't see it clearly. I just felt that the young man was very tall and looked very neat.

Xu waited for a long time and didn't see Nalan Jinxiu get out of the car, Xu Jince strode over and said to the people in the car: "Sheng'er, why don't you get out of the car?"

Nalan Jinxiu lifted the curtain, looked at Xu Jince and said, "Brother, you let the people at the door disperse!"

Xu Jince smiled with his eyebrows: "What's the matter?

"Sort of!"

"What are you afraid of? These are all government soldiers, and I will protect you in the future. Knowing that you are back, they also prepared gifts. ”

"Gifts?"

"The people of Northern Xinjiang are heroic, and there is not so much red tape in Jinling City. Besides, you are the only girl in our palace, and it is uncomfortable to pay attention to so much. Just come down and say hello to everyone. ”

Nalan Jinxiu felt that what he said was very reasonable, so he helped Xu Jince's men get out of the carriage. She had just walked a few steps when she saw the young man who had just hugged Xu Jince, grinning, revealing a row of teeth as white as jade. Who is it if it's not Ji Hongxuan?

"Sixth brother. Nalan Jinxiu was also happy to see him.

Ji Hongxuan strode over, looking like he wanted to hug Xu Jince just like he had just hugged her. Nalan Jinxiu's body made a mistake backwards, she was so enthusiastic, she was a little unbearable!

Fortunately, Ji Hongxuan also knew that men and women could not kiss her, so he just patted the top of her head and said with a smile: "I finally look forward to you coming back." ”

Nalan Jinxiu realized that Ji Hongxuan, who was only a little taller than her, was now more than half a head taller than her. In less than two years, is he just busy growing taller?

"Jin'er, have you noticed that I have grown taller and become more handsome?"

Nalan Jinxiu looked at him carefully and found that this was really the case. The longer his eyebrows and eyes go, the more he looks like the third brother, but the third brother's is gentler, and his is deeper, so if you look closely, there are five or six points of resemblance. She suddenly began to feel uncomfortable again, and she was afraid that she would not dare to think of him again in the future.

The soldiers lined up behind them all brushed and said, "Welcome the county lord back to his home." ”

The voice was loud and neat, like a slogan shouted during a march to battle. was as calm and calm as Nalan Jinxiu, and was also shocked by this scene, and he couldn't say a complete word for a long time.

Fortunately, Ji Hongxuan understood her cramped situation and helped her out of the siege: "The county master is tired of driving, he should be hungry now, let's eat!"

As soon as he said this, everyone dispersed. There weren't so many people standing in front of him, and Nalan Jinxiu's heart fell back into his stomach. She followed Xu Jince and Ji Hongxuan into the mansion, and looked up at the four big characters of "Zhenbei Wangfu", which was upright and majestic.

These four words were inscribed by my father. Xu Jince has been in the army all the year round, and he rarely returns to the palace, calling his father always a father.

Nalan Jinxiu has been in the dust all the way, and there is basically no post house to live in near the northern border, and she sleeps in the carriage. At this time, I especially wanted to take a hot bath, so I asked Xu Jince: "Brother, where is my yard?"

Ji Hongxuan hurriedly said: "It's all arranged, I'll take you over." ”

Xu Jince also planned to clean up after himself, so he asked Ji Hongxuan to take Nalan Jinxiu over, just to clean up quickly and have dinner together later. Nalan Jinxiu should be good, and followed Ji Hongxuan.

When Ji Hongxuan left home a year ago, there was still a trace of young man's childishness on his face, and when he met again, he already had the calm bearing of a young man.

Nalan Jinxiu suddenly felt that her age didn't seem to be long, but he had grown up a lot all of a sudden. Walking side by side with him like this, I can feel depressed. You can't lose your momentum, she really lives more and more.

"Are you okay for more than a year?" Ji Hongxuan asked with a smile, looking very good in a good mood.

Nalan Jinxiu nodded: "It's not bad, what about you?"

"I'm fine! If I hadn't waited for you to come back, I'd have followed the marshal to Pinggu. ”

Nalan Jinxiu guessed that the marshal in her mouth must be the king of Zhenbei, so she asked, "Pinggu?"

"No, a big fortification is being built right now. ”

"What kind of work is so important? Do you want my father to supervise the work himself?"

"Isn't this spring, the water and grass are fertile, and the people of Beiyan will definitely be ready to move. ”

"And this kind of pattern?"

"Of course, Beiyan has a cold climate, and when it comes to winter, the roads will be closed by heavy snow, making it difficult to move an inch. They can only stay where they are and recuperate. And in the spring, when everything recovers, they always think about fighting, grabbing some food or something. ”

Nalan Jinxiu felt that the two armies were fighting to expand their territory and fight for territory. And when he said this, he seemed to be a lot more childish, and it sounded inexplicably funny.

"Although it is not as prosperous as Jinling City, it is a very free place. If there were no Beiyan people who kept coming to disturb it, it would be a good place to live. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was rendered by his smile and quipped: "You are *." ”

"Yes, I really like living here, and I really don't plan to go back in the future. ”

"Who knows what will happen so far in the future. ”

Ji Hongxuan laughed, suddenly bumped her with the shoulder, and said half-jokingly: "You said that I haven't seen you for more than a year, how do I think you have lost a lot of weight, but I think about it." ”

Nalan Jinxiu touched her cheek, she was in a bad mood during this time, she didn't think about tea and dinner, she thought that she should have lost a lot of weight. It's just that she was busy all the way, and she didn't take a good look at herself.

"I think I've lost some weight!"

"How can it seem, it's obviously a lot thinner, you look at your hands, they used to be chubby like a small meat bun. ”

Nalan Jinxiu's face was black, and she believed that no woman liked to hear others say that her hands were meat buns. Ji Hongxuan didn't mind, he still smiled very heartily: "I have the opportunity to take you to Canglongling to have a look, the scenery there is particularly beautiful." ”

"Canglongling, but the border between Beiyan and Daning?"

Ji Hongxuan glanced at her appreciatively: "Yes, I even know this." ”

"That's nature. How can a reckless man like you know that Xiucai doesn't go out, but knows the world. ”

"Oh! Female Xiucai, Xiaosheng is so polite. Ji Hongxuan spoke, and made a salute.

Nalan Jinxiu couldn't hold back a smile: "You better don't do this kind of action, people who read books are called polite, you ......"

"What?"

"Twisted acid. ”

Ji Hongxuan waited for a long time, but he didn't expect to wait for these two words, and immediately wanted to beat her. But when I saw that she was wearing a pure white cloak, thin and weak, how could she still get her hands on it?

I had to say helplessly: "Don't think that we don't read every day on the battlefield, in fact, we read more." And it's all practical.,It's not like you.,Just look at those sour crepe books.。 ”

"What do you read? The Art of War?"

"You ask so much about what you do, and you don't understand when you tell you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu silently endured his dislike, and the two chatted a few more words, and then entered her yard. There is a small second floor of a detached house, which looks very simple and elegant. Nalan Jinxiu looked around, the first feeling was spacious, the second feeling was big, and the third feeling was that it was bare and seemed to be missing something.

"What's the name of this yard? ”

Ji Hongxuan smiled: "This courtyard is yours, but you asked me what my name is?" The building in the middle is Cangwu Yu, which is the residence of the marshal. Your Star Picking Tower and your brother's Lanyue Pavilion are very close to Cangwu Ballad, and the marshal has been thinking of you all these years. ”

Nalan Jinxiu felt that the relationship between Ji Hongxuan and his brother should be very good, and the hug they had just now was close and happy. In the past, she was worried that there were a lot of wars in northern Xinjiang, and he would suffer when he came. Now that he is more and more cheerful, she is also happy for him.

"This yard is very good, and I like that little wooden building too. It's just that it always looks a little weird. ”

Ji Hongxuan heard this: "It's a little empty, but this is your yard, you can plant whatever you want here." It's spring, you think about what to plant, I'll buy you seedlings tomorrow. ”

"Say it slowly. ”

(PS: The third brother is going to disappear for a while, the role of the second male.) ）
