Yan Kui didn't know about the capital, and after leading the troops to exterminate the White Snake Valley, Yan Kui sent people to escort the captives to Fucheng, and then left Gong Fa to garrison Teng County, and he himself led the troops back to Qingyuan.

In Yan Mansion with his parents and family to make up for a later year, the fifteenth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Liyang, after the Lantern Festival, the county order Huawen was about to leave Qingyuan, officially went to Nanling to take office.

Yan Kui personally rode a horse to see him off, and the two said goodbye to the wine in a deserted pavilion outside the city.

To tell the truth, Yan Kui and Hua Wenzheng get along quite well, and the relationship is very harmonious.

Hua Wenzheng has the grace of promotion for Yan Kui, and at the same time, Hua Wen has now come to this point, and it is inseparable from Yan Kui's efforts to suppress bandits, the two complement each other and cooperate happily, Hua Wenzheng is leaving, Yan Kui is really reluctant.

Inside the Arakutei

"County ........."

Yan Kui raised his glass, and was just about to speak when he was stopped by Hua Wenzheng, the flower county commander...... No, it should be Hua Tongzhi, who is wearing a white fur suit today, wearing warm ears and a black cloak, which is quite a bit of an elegant person's style.

"You and I work together, we are colleagues and friends, and there is no need to use those official titles between friends, I am a public scholar, and how old are you, if you don't dislike it, call me a public scholar."

……………

"Brother Gongshi."

Hua Wenzheng really made friends, Yan Kui naturally would not refuse, and after calling solemnly, he said with a smile.

"In the past, when I slaughtered pigs and sheep, I knew that they were all peddlers and pawns, and I didn't know what to call each other, so I mostly called them by their names or nicknames.

Now that I have entered the officialdom, my identity has changed, and I asked my father to give me a word a year ago, and I have never used it, and Brother Gongshi is estimated to be the first person to know my cousin outside my family. ”

"Oh?"

Hua Wenzheng became interested when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "What is the word?" ”

"Yuan Han."

"Yuan Han, Yan Yuanhan, Yan Kui Yan Yuanhan, good words, good words, Kui Tongyuan is Kui Yuan, which is the first meaning; Han is a good man, Yuan Han, is the first good man, this word is good, good,. ”

Huawen said two sentences, tasted the product carefully, showed joy on his face, and praised loudly.

Yan Kui saw that Hua Wenzheng admired his own expression very much, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, in fact, this word was made by himself.

Thinking about it, I also know that Yan Changlin is a farmer and can know a few words, but it is inconvenient for Yan Kui to take the words by himself, so he uses Yan's father as an excuse.

And Yan Kui himself obtained this table word Yuan Han, in fact, it is not what Hua Wenzheng understands, Yuan Zi, may also have the first meaning, but the Han behind it is not what Hua said about the meaning of a hero.

This Han is Yan Kui's attachment to his previous life, the Chinese bloodline, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the male son of the Han family, this is the belief engraved in Yan Kui's bones.

Maybe there is no Han nationality in this time and space, but Yan Kui himself can't forget who he is and what kind of ...............

…………

It's a pity that there will be a time when the two will be separated.

Hua Wenzheng and Yan Kui chatted happily, but after all, they still drank in the Deserted Pavilion.

Seeing that Hua Wenzheng got into the carriage with the support of Master Xin, and slowly walked in the direction of Nanling Mansion, Yan Kui also turned his horse's head and returned to Qingyuan County.

On the way back, Yan Kui suddenly found that it was snowing, and his mood was inexplicably a little bored, and he was not in a hurry to go back to the city.

Maybe because of the snow, there were no customers in the shop, and when Yan Kui entered the store, the young man came to greet him, and suddenly seemed to have found something, and his expression became excited.

"You......... You are Yan ...... Lord Yan? ”

Yan Kui was not surprised that the guy recognized himself, his figure was extremely recognizable in Qingyuan, he smiled faintly, and handed the reins in his hand to the guy.

"Don't be nervous, I don't eat people, come, take care of this horse carefully, don't feed the grass, don't let it get drenched in the snow."

As he spoke, Yan Kui dusted off the snow on his body: "You guys, what are you good at eating." ”

The guy hadn't come out of the excitement of seeing Yan Kui yet, but fortunately, he regained his senses, and hurriedly replied: "The best thing in our store is mutton soup, as well as roast mutton, braised lamb offal, and lamb's hoof tendons, which are also good."

By the way, when our shopkeeper opened for the New Year a few days ago, he just bought a few jars of good soju from the city, would you like to have some? ”

Yan Kui turned his head to look at the sky, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and he was afraid that he would not be able to walk for a while, so he simply rubbed here for a little longer.

"In this way, you cut two catties of mutton for me, bring me a big bowl of mutton soup, and serve a dish of the specialty dishes in the store, well, two more pots of soju, hurry up and order it, I'm hungry." Yan Kui ordered a bunch of dishes.

"Okay, you go in and wait, the kid will prepare the food for you immediately."

…………

Yan Kui entered the shop and chose a table that was both sheltered from the wind and could see the snow.

After a while, maybe he heard the letter, the shopkeeper hurriedly came out to visit, Yan Kui simply chatted with him, and then sent him away, not long after, the guy came over with a tray of wine and food, and put the wine and food that Yan Kui wanted one by one.

In this way, Yan Kui was enjoying the snow scene while eating wine and food, and he was comfortable.

It's just that Yan Kui's quiet time didn't last long, and soon, because of the heavy snow outside, a team of merchants couldn't hurry, so they ran to the small shop to rest, eat a hot meal by the way, and replenish their physical strength.

The shopkeeper was afraid that this group of merchants would disturb Yan Kui's tranquility, so he didn't want to let them in at first, but he couldn't stand the merchants begging bitterly, so the shopkeeper had to come to ask Yan Kui's opinion.

Yan Kui was not so domineering that he ate by himself, so he let others be drenched in the snow outside, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

It is estimated that the merchants also knew that it was a blessing for Yan Kui to come in, but they didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so a group of people quietly bowed to Yan Kui after entering the door and expressed their gratitude.

Yan Kui is not as unkind as these people think, he looks at this group of merchants, he looks like he has been in a hurry for a long time, and he is bored left and right, so he called a few merchants over to chat and pass the time.

It just so happened that this group of merchants was a medicinal herb merchant who was transporting some medicinal materials from the border of Beiling Mansion back to the capital to sell, so Yan Kui inquired about the border.

…………

Unexpectedly, Yan Kui didn't ask, but when he asked the gray-haired old man among the merchants, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Eighty percent of the imperial court is going to war with the Northern Zhou Dynasty again."

Yan Kui was shocked when he heard this, and then he was full of puzzlement, the imperial court's mobilization of troops against the Northern Zhou Dynasty must be a secret in the army, how did this old merchant know.

The old merchant saw Yan Kui's doubts, and said with a chuckle: "Mr. doesn't know, the little old man has been doing business all his life, and the little old man has walked no less than a thousand times on the business route from Beiling Mansion to the capital, so he has some experience."

Whenever the imperial court and the Northern Zhou were at war, the atmosphere in Beiling Mansion was definitely different from usual.

Just like this time, there is no need to remind at all, as soon as Xiao Lao'er arrived in Beiling, he smelled a smell of iron and blood in the air, so Xiao Lao'er concluded that there was going to be a war on the border. ”

As soon as the old merchant finished speaking, the merchants next to him also echoed, saying that the old merchant has rich experience, and every time he guesses that the two countries go to war, nine times out of ten, the accuracy rate is very high.

Looking at the sworn merchants, Yan Kui's heart was suddenly covered with a haze.

He had a hunch that if a war broke out between the two countries this time, it would likely affect him, but he didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse............
