The news of Meng Chang'an's seizure of the customs will definitely not reach Chang'an City before the year, but it will definitely arrive before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at the latest.

And Pei Tingshan, the general of Eastern Xinjiang, only muttered two words to himself after learning about this...... That's it.

Yan Kaisong, the former guard of Baishan, was silent for a long time when he heard the news, and then let out a long breath, but he didn't say a word.

White Mountain Pass.

Meng Changan sat cross-legged alone on the battlements of the city wall, with iron armor like ink on his body and a blood-red cloak on his shoulders.

Calculating the days, Chang'an City should already be wearing red and hanging colorful firecrackers.

When I was a child, during the Chinese New Year, Silly Lengzi always curled up alone in the cold and cold room next to the stable, the fire in the main house on the north side was vigorous, the lights and candles were not extinguished in the thirty nights, and where was the heat in Lengzi's leaky house with wind and snow, there was no light.

At that time, his family had a lot of food, he always took a bite on this chicken leg, disgusted with the bad taste, and also took a bite on the pork knuckle, and also said that the taste was bland and unpalatable, and then threw the chicken leg and pork knuckle he had bitten to Shen Leng with disgust, and said a few words to eat quickly and taste the taste of my saliva, his father laughed on the side, and he had to show a little pride, if not, Leng Zi couldn't even eat a bite of meat during the New Year.

But every time he thought about it, his heart still hurt.

That's all he could do then.

When his father beat Leng Zi, he fought because he knew that he had little strength and couldn't beat bad people no matter how hard he beaten, and when his father scolded Shen Leng, he pushed his father away, saying that he hated scolding.

Fortunately, Leng Zi is doing well now, better than him.

It's better to be better than him, Meng Changan feels that he is atoning for his sins.

The young general on the battlements raised the flask and took a sip, the wind and snow in the northeastern border were not much smaller than those in the northern frontier, and he had been sitting here alone for a long time, even when he drank with his comrades in the army, he felt lonely.

It seems that only when I think about that stupid cold man do I feel that I am not living alone in this world.

The reason why Baishan Pass is called Baishan Pass is because this mountain is called Baishan, and the reason why Baishan is called Baishan is because the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, Meng Changan has been accustomed to the wind, used to the snow, used to a piece of silver white, and also used to the cold.

"General."

Yang Qibao ran up quickly from the city and pointed to the city pass: "Someone came from Chang'an City, and he sent a package, which was sent by my general." ”

He is still used to calling Shen Leng the general of my family, and he admires, believes, and even respects Meng Changan and Yang Qibao, and even looks up, in his opinion, Meng Changan is a natural general, and for Shen Leng, Yang Qibao feels that it is his own family and brother.

"Huh?"

Meng Chang'an was overjoyed.

It's hard to come by.

took the city pass of the Bohai Kingdom, and did not see him happy with his eyebrows.

He walked down the city wall quickly, and Yang Qibao felt that General Meng was a little impatient at this time.

A carriage came in from outside the city gate, accompanied by more than a dozen warriors, these warriors did not seem to be ordinary Jianghu guests, seeing so many soldiers and armor, feeling the slaughter here, there was no cowardice.

A man jumped down from his horse and bowed with his fists clenched: "Meet General Meng, I came from Chang'an City at the behest of General Shen Leng, and I didn't dare to delay along the way, lest I send things after the New Year." ”

He turned around and moved down two boxes from the carriage, one for Meng Changan and the other for Yang Qibao.

Yang Qibao couldn't wait to open his box, there were a few new clothes inside, Shen Leng wrote down his height and weight, and asked the best tailor in Chang'an City to sew it, the clothes couldn't be out of shape.

In addition to the clothes, there is also a box of sugar, it is winter, and I am not afraid of spoiling it all the way, it is wrapped in red paper, which looks particularly festive.

Yang Qibao loves sugar.

Clothes, sugar, and a small wooden box, Yang Qibao opened it, and there was a stack of letter paper inside, picked it up and looked at it, and after a while, his hands began to tremble, and he couldn't control it.

"My Brother Qibao, is the Northeast Border Pass cold? Don't freeze your little chicken-chicken when you pee, you look at the top of the white mountain, it doesn't look like the lump I pulled with you last year? ”

This was written by Chen Ran.

"Brother Yang, happy New Year, you are a year older, but I am still so young and strong, I calculated your natal year next year, I bought you a stack of red pants, in a blink of an eye you are in your thirties, I am only seventeen."

This was written by Wang Kuohai.

"Lao Yang, I heard that although the girl over there in the Bohai Kingdom is poor but beautiful, it is difficult to find a serious girl with your appearance, or just catch a woman from the Bohai Country to make do, and conquering the Bohai woman is also to win glory for Daning."

This was written by Dewey.

"Brother Yang, the northeast is in a hurry, I bought you some typhoid medicine and gold sore medicine, a time-honored brand in Chang'an City, although I know that it is a little unlucky to send medicine for the New Year, it should be regarded as a way to dispel illness and drive away evil spirits, and have a good New Year."

This is written by Gu Le.

There are many, many words, which were written by those old brothers under Shen Leng's command, and the names made Yang Qibao's hands tremble more and more.

There is a brother who is illiterate, so he can't write any heart-warming words, he turned to the next piece of paper, on the paper is painted a big fat man patting his belly, the belly is bulging Lao Gao, next to the painting of a villain pulling a car, the car is a mountain, Yang Qibao thought about it for a long time before he woke up, the meaning of this painting is only two words.

Satiety, heavy.

Take care.

Unable to hold back any longer, Yang Qibao cried out, and in the direction of Chang'an City in the southeast, his fists were clenched, and his lips were trembling.

On the other hand, Meng Changan was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions like Yang Qibao, so he picked up his box and returned to his room, his steps were very urgent, and he closed the door with his hand when he entered the door, thought about it unsafely, and plugged in the door bolt.

When I opened the box, the first thing I saw was a stack of thick insoles, which were embroidered with cat-like things, like cats squatting on a dirt bag and pulling poop, but the embroidery was a little twisted, barely recognizable.

There is also a smaller wooden box next to the insole, and when you open it, there is a stack of silver tickets and a few Dongzhu.

Below are two new clothes.

The main thing is that there is also a letter, although it is not as much as Yang Qibao's box, only one, but for Meng Changan, the weight of this letter is as heavy as that of Yang Qibao's many letters.

"I didn't write the letter, let your brother and sister ghostwrite, it's not that I don't want to write it for you, it's that my words are too handsome, I'm afraid that as soon as you open the envelope, you won't be able to stand the handsomeness on my face, and then you bow your head and worship."

"The insoles are your brother and sister...... Phew, why do you still habitually think you're older than me? That's it, the New Year's Eve is not a matter of competing with you for a while, and it is not a matter of short and long, I don't care. ”

"The insoles are embroidered by your brother and sister, and my tea master embroiderers are unparalleled in the world, and the insoles are priceless...... She said that you are the first tiger general in Daning, so the insole is embroidered with a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, isn't it very domineering? ”

Meng Changan picked up the insole and looked at it carefully, and the appearance of Shen Chayan embroidering the insole with a needle and a thread appeared in his mind, and then looked at the composition, this embroiderer, it was undoubtedly embroidered by Shen Chayan himself.

But this cat is squatting and pulling poop, how can it be a tiger coming down the mountain?

"You are snowing in the distant border pass, I know it's very bitter, but you don't have to envy me, you think I'm eating, drinking and having fun all day long in Chang'an City? Idle all day? A beautiful woman all day long? Chic and happy all day long? Yes...... That's how I am now. ”

Meng Changan turned his head and spat out: "Shameless." ”

Read on.

"If my guess is correct, it's been half a year, and the soldiers in Baishan Pass have already regarded you as a god, right? If my guess is correct, are you thinking about the city pass of the Bohai Kingdom opposite Baishan Pass? Did you take it down? ”

Meng Changan said to himself: "I took it." ”

Look further down.

"That small place in Baishan Pass is not your world, Your Majesty must have another deep meaning for putting you there, I am stupid, I can't guess much, I can only think that Your Majesty is for three things, one is because of Wu Xinyu, the second is because of Pei Tingshan, and the third is because of Pei Tingshan...... Maybe it's because of Dongjiang, if you become a general in Dongjiang in the future, will we still be good brothers? ”

Meng Changan: "Slept ......"

"The battle of Northern Xinjiang is three years at the earliest, five years at the latest, and His Majesty will inevitably recall you at that time, Pei Tingshan is already old, if you have outstanding achievements in Northern Xinjiang, Your Majesty will allow you to be a general in Eastern Xinjiang, although you are not as handsome as me, not as tall as me, but the general of Eastern Xinjiang is barely worthy of you."

Meng Changan: "Slept ......"

"This time, I asked someone to bring you insoles, new clothes, tea, and some silver for rewarding my subordinates, you owe me, and I will become a general in Dongjiang in the future, and if you have nothing to do, you will go to the East China Sea to catch big clams, and save enough beads to return to me."

Meng Changan: "the big clam in your head." ”

Continue reading the letter.

"By the way, you pay for the carriage and horses, I told them, pay when you arrive."

Meng Changan: "......"

"And one last thing, don't scold me after reading it, I'm just being trusted...... There is something else in the carriage, you will make a decision after reading the letter, if you don't stay, then you don't have to get off, just go back to Chang'an, and the car is Yuezhu Mingtai. ”

Meng Changan's hand shook violently.

"The prince Li Xiaoshan sent a letter of resignation from northern Xinjiang to Chang'an City, and a letter to His Majesty, Your Majesty has approved, Yuezhu Mingtai is no longer Mrs. Shizi, she is a free body, she has looked for me several times in a row, and told me that she wants to come to see you, but I don't know how to go, I know that you may be angry if you do this, but I can't help it, I can't refuse her."

"It's still the same sentence I just wrote, if you think she shouldn't come or stay, she waits for you in the carriage for an hour, and if you don't go to her, she will understand what you mean, and she will return."

Meng Changan let out a long breath and walked to the window to look at the carriage.

The wind and snow are cold, and it should be cold in the car.

The last sentence of the letter.

Happy New Year.

Meng Changan thought about your uncle's good, you threw such a big problem to me, did you really wish me a happy New Year?

He sat down in his chair and stared out the window in a daze.

In the carriage, Yuezhu Mingtai lowered his head, and his face became whiter and paler.

There was an hourglass in the carriage, and she had calculated that the hourglass was over.

The maid Jinghu has been carefully looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess's face, the more she looks at it, the more worried she becomes, she knows how much suffering this is for Her Royal Highness the Princess.

It's cold.

It's a long time.

Jinghu held Yuezhu Mingtai's cold hand: "Your Highness? ”

Yuezhu Mingtai looked at the last little bit of sand left in the hourglass, and smiled bitterly: "Let's go." ”

The chariots and horses turned, and the guards mounted their horses and prepared to leave the city.

"The house was cleaned up, it was too dirty and messy, so it took some time, and a fire was lit."

Outside the car was Meng Changan's voice, which seemed to be tired, and his voice trembled slightly.

"I'm really embarrassed to ask you to get off the car directly, the vacant rooms in the border pass are used to stack things, don't say sit, there is not even a place to stay, I cleaned up for a while, but the required furniture is not complete for a while, and I have wronged you."

Yuezhu Mingtai looked at the people who couldn't be seen through the curtains outside the window.

Laugh.
