The southern world is lush with green trees, flowers, green rice and vegetables, and leisurely cattle and sheep, but the north has been frozen and snowy, and it is covered in silver.

A few years ago, Cangzhao's hometown was in the cold and silver-white world where the wind was howling.

At the Benbao Wharf in Zhaojiazhuang, Liu Wen stood motionless in the ice, snow and cold wind, although he was wrapped in a thick and warm fur coat and hat, he still looked like a poisonous and cold snake king. The role of the spy leader has been working for a long time, and no matter how sunny the person is, he will become like this.

It is a high-precision, high-confidential, high-brain, and even a difficult and dangerous job that cannot be allowed even if there are small mistakes.

Over the past ten years, Liu Wen has figured out a mature management system and experience methods, and the price has changed from a cheerful, gentle and casual young man to a cold, rigorous and vicious middle-aged man. He is only in his thirties, but his sideburns are already a little white.

The dozen or so guards behind him also stood silently vigilant with stiff faces, as if they were a humanoid statue of a pestle in the wind and snow.

Except for the occasional sound of the war horses, there was not a single murmur in the entire dock.

In the distance, the waves were undulating and roaring, and the shadow of a ship suddenly appeared on the vast sea.

Liu Wen squinted, then raised a high-powered telescope to take a closer look, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, and all the cold indifference instantly turned into bright sunshine. It's as if a dead man who had been silent for a long time suddenly came back to life.

The big ship cracked through the murky waves of the ice ballast, cleaving the waves, and seemed to go faster and faster, until finally docked steadily at the dock.

The two sturdy sailors in the bow and stern laughed and threw the thick and heavy cable ashore with a thud. The dock workers rushed over to pick up the end of the cable and skilfully tied it around the anchor to prevent the big ship from drifting away from the dock by the powerful waves on the shore.

The hatch of the ship is opened. A moment later, Zhao Yue appeared with a smile on his face.

He disembarked with his guards, the thick snow creaking on the dock where a pair of high-waisted winter boots had stepped on.

Liu Wen stepped forward with a smile. When he arrived in front of Zhao Yue, he knelt down on one knee regardless of the ice and snow on the ground. Holding one hand in the ice and snow, he said loudly: "Liu Wengong welcomes the second young master home." ”

The title of young master is the unique name of Zhao Yue by the old housekeeper's family and the fat cook's family, Zhao Yue used to be called the little young master, and now Zhao Gonglian has a son who replaces the title of the little young master of Cangzhao, and Zhao Yue has become the second young master.

Most of the people in the Cangzhao Group are used to being called the second son of Zhao Yue, and now, in the new world, they are called Prince Puji.

Calling the master a son or a young master, it seems that there is no difference in any practical sense except for the difference between the master's official eunuch children and the rich children. But for the old butler and the fat cook, it is definitely different.

They call it this because they insist in their hearts, no matter how things change in the world, no matter how high a position they hold and how illustrious they are. The essence is always the same as before, the servant of Cangzhao, always firmly on the master's side, living with the master's family and dying with the master's family.

Therefore, they still call Zhao Dayou and his wife the owner and the owner's wife, and they have never changed.

Zhao Yue knew very well that this was definitely not because Cangzhao was developed, and it would be unspeakably expensive, so the two wanted to show their closeness to Cangzhao in order to gain more benefits. Of course, there must be a bit of vanity and ostentation in this. But more than that, as a member of Cangzhao, he and Cangzhao have blazed a bright path together and blessed the world, and his loyalty is undoubted.

When the family was so poor that they didn't have anything to do except unite and dare to fight, they followed life and death. Unswervingly, in the past ten years, they have worked hard in different positions, and they dare not slack off for a day. It is a testament to the family heritage that they value.

The ancients and the feudal era had too many ills, but the loyalty of the people of this era was also unimaginable to later generations. It's so touching, so precious.

Zhao Yue hugged Liu Wen with both hands. hugged him with a smile, and when he saw the whiteness of Liu Wen's sideburns, he couldn't help but smile and said movingly: "Brother Wen, you have worked hard all these years." ”

In fact, Liu Wen was not the most suitable person to be a spy leader, but there was no more reliable and suitable person than Liu Wen at that time, so Liu Wen could only change his personality and make it difficult for him.

A person can persevere in things he doesn't like for more than ten years and make great achievements, you can imagine how much he has paid.

That in itself is a greatness.

What's more, Liu Wen relied on the limited spy knowledge that Zhao Yue knew, and used his youth and hard work to do Cangzhao's intelligence work almost perfectly, and helped Cangzhao seize the opportunity in the sinister political struggle again and again, and never made a major mistake.

Liu Wen smiled: "Hard work is deserved. ”

The simple and unpretentious six words shine with Liu Wen's simple but glorious quality.

Although Liu Wen's heart was biased towards the eldest brother, Zhao Yue still couldn't help but pat Liu Wen's shoulder appreciatively.

The dock workers were busy feeding the ships with fresh water, meat and vegetables, and then they would return to Taiwan with some people and supplies.

Zhao Yue turned over and got on the horse.

A group of more than a dozen people walked through the seaside pine forest more than ten miles deep, and the war horses rushed to Zhaozhuang on the thick snow on the forest road.

On the way, I saw several villages and forts on the other side of the East River, although the original residents of this area had already moved to Taiwan Island to live a rich, civilized and happy life that the Great Song Dynasty people could not imagine, it was already a matter of things, but the displaced people who came to the supplement loved the peaceful life here, enjoyed the protection of Cangzhao, hard work, food, clothing, housing and transportation without worry, satisfaction, and the decoration of the castle The festive atmosphere of the New Year has been presented.

Children who are not afraid of the cold are joking in the snow. Their carefree and innocent laughter was heard from the castle by the cold wind.

A warm smile appeared on Zhao Yue's face.

Wang Nianjing, who was born as a bitter child, listened to the laughter attentively, with an obsessive look on his face, and couldn't help but say with envy: "This is the blessing of the Lord's family." It's a pity that my childhood memories are full of starvation and cold, and my parents' miserable and helpless expressions. ”

He had no head and no brain, but everyone in this group understood it, and won a sigh and approval.

Zhao Yue shook his head slightly with a smile and said, "Chanting the scriptures, you were wrong this time." This is the result of the joint efforts of all of us. ”

Liu Wen showed a rare relaxed expression, and said with a high-spirited smile: "We will definitely do better." ”

This phrase is not so much hope as it is the belief that he has always held onto.

This is also the belief of all the backbones and soldiers of Cangzhao Group.

Entering the castle, the festive atmosphere suddenly turned upside down. A strong smell of the New Year came to my face.

Zhao Yue arrived at the familiar home in the joyful greetings of the Zhuang people, who were kind in awe.

The old lady saw her little grandson walking in with a sunny smile wrapped in the cold wind in the building where the earth dragon burned warm, and without waiting for Zhao Yue to greet him, she greeted her with a smile, holding the cold hand of the little grandson with both hands, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, kneel again when you give red envelopes to worship your ancestors during the New Year, and this time you will be exempted." Grandmother hasn't seen my baby for a long time, so let me take a good look at my good grandchildren. ”

Zhao Yue smiled and stood still and bowed his head, letting the old lady take a closer look, and also secretly observing the old lady.

With the rapid development of Cangzhao's great cause and the increase of age, Ning's temper became more and more gentle and magnanimous, and he became closer and closer to his demonic grandson.

Zhao Yue could really feel the love and distress from the old lady's misty eyes.

In the past, there was love, but the distress was only if there was nothing.

Does this prove that the old lady has accepted him, the demon, as the true descendant of Cangzhao in her heart? (To be continued.) )
