At the end of the year, it was the fourth or ninth day, the coldest time, every house in Xijing City was hung with ice skates under the eaves, crystal clear, like a sharp sword shining silver, enough to make people feel a cold and cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Daxing City is still nominally the capital, it is less prosperous than in the past, after all, the emperor is not in the palace here, and the royal family and dignitaries have moved to the eastern capital.

Luo Zhaoyun accompanied Yiyi, Qingshuang and others to celebrate the New Year in Xijing, and it was rare to have a reunion and peaceful Chinese New Year's Eve.

Three women and one man, sitting in the wooden alley, watching the servants posting the Spring Festival couplets, cleaning the windows, hanging lanterns, preparing New Year's goods, in the pavilion, the layout is elegant, the potted plants are lush, the brazier is burning animal charcoal, and the room is warm like spring.

A wisp of incense burner is smoking high-quality spices, making the room wafting with a smelly fragrance, Xiao Yiyi took the yaoqin, played a few famous songs, and the melodious sound of the piano floated in the courtyard, which belonged to their small world.

Luo Zhaoyun drank tea, which contained tea leaves and bamboo leaves to boil and drink, although it was a little jerky, not mellow and sweet, but it was more suitable for his taste than tea soup, and it had the prototype of tea in later generations.

Ning Muhe and Qingshuang also accompanied him to drink tea, listened to the sound of the piano, looked at the snow scene and plum blossoms, and felt a quiet and comfortable mood.

"Fifteenth Chinese New Year's Eve!" Luo Zhaoyun sighed secretly in his heart, since he crossed back when he was ten years old, this is the fifteenth Chinese New Year's Eve, time is in a hurry, now he is twenty-five or six years old, the world is changing, about to be chaotic, he is also almost reserved, can join the ranks of hegemony at any time.

Because he integrated into the history of the Great Sui and accelerated the process of historical events, perhaps, it would not take the fourteenth year of the Great Cause to kill Emperor Yang of Sui in Jiangdong, and Li Tang entered Chang'an to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it is likely to be advanced, and it will be ten years before the Great Cause, and there will be more riots in various places.

Luo Zhaoyun is not in a hurry to return to Luoyang, but to be in this Daxing City, carefully arranged, successively introduced some warriors, scattered in various squares, especially close to several city gates and palaces, the mansion inside, secretly planted a lot of warriors, etc., complete weapons, can attack the city gate at any time, suppress the Praetorian Guard for a moment, open the city gate, so that he can lead the army into Xijing in the future.

"Gongzi, it's Chinese New Year's Eve again, many years ago, when we were in Luofu, the concubine never imagined such a day of great wealth and nobility, if Mrs. Liu had a spirit in the sky, she would definitely be pleased." Ning Muhe was a little emotional, after all, she was just a maid at the beginning, and now she manages a huge business organization, and her identity is very different.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, smiled at her, thinking that she took care of herself everywhere, even if it was a medicinal soup, she had to taste it first, worried that it was Meng Shi who had poisoned, got along day and night, and gave him subtle care, leaving a touch in her heart.

"We won't go back to that day, one day, I'll reign over the world!" Luo Zhaoyun's words were full of strong self-confidence and heroic demeanor.

The land of western Liaoning, bordering Yan County and Khitan, has many mountainous areas here, and there are many castles and stockades.

When the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, many Qi people fled here, mostly from the Gao clan, and a few people took refuge in the Goguryeo Kingdom.

These Qijia forts, connected for several miles, form horns with each other, and there are many troops, strong men, and samurai, fully armed, patrolling back and forth.

Recently, Qijiabao has frequently recruited troops and horses, and has accumulated enough 20,000 soldiers and horses, and will go out of western Liaoning at any time to attack Yan County and Yuyang County, and regain the land of Northern Qi in the past.

A slender woman, wearing a suit of armor, with a slender figure, embossed and exquisite, but being set off by the cold light of the armor, she looks heroic, this woman has passed her two decades, her appearance is beautiful and delicate, it is Gao Yufei.

"Uncle Lan, haven't you heard from Luo Cheng yet?" She looked melancholy and asked a middle-aged man, her uncle Gao Qinglan.

Gao Qinglan shook his head and said, "Maybe, he was really killed." ”

After Gao Yufei heard this, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were a little red, she didn't believe that the former young hero had a cruel curtain call like this.

"Yufei, don't think about him, you are not young, you are in your twenties, you have become an old girl, a young general, there are many people throughout the ages, but most of them died young, and they did not grow up. Moreover, he is a general of the Sui army, we are a rebellious army that rebelled against the rule of the Sui Dynasty, even if we meet again, we will meet each other! ”

Gao Yufei burst into tears, like a lily with water droplets, poignant and moving, she shook her head and said: "I don't believe that he is dead, and besides, we and him may not be destined to be enemies, the Great Sui Emperor is dumbfounded, and the righteous army in the world resists, with his deep understanding of righteousness, he will definitely not be loyal to the faint monarch to the end, and in the end, he will stand on the same front with us." ”

"But will he be loyal to our Gao clan? Not necessarily, with his military talent, who can control it? Our leader has decided to gather enough strength to attack Yuyang County, and then fight against the Luo family of Zhuo County. ”

"That's for later, I don't care so much, I only care about whether he's safe or not!" Gao Yufei's vision became blurred, tears overflowed, and fell to the ground.

Gao Qinglan sighed non-stop, the girl is growing up, and her heart is outward!

In Luoyang Palace, Princess Ruyi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, looked haggard, her whole body seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were mixed with a resentment, and she lost her past vitality.

Twelve years ago, she got acquainted with Luo Cheng, at that time, she was only eleven years old, more than ten years have passed, Princess Ruyi is in full bloom, slim, and has become a big girl, but she has never been able to marry Luo Cheng, and now it is even more life and death separation, which makes her difficult to accept, and her spirit is very hard.

Thinking back on the bits and pieces of the past, Princess Ruyi felt extremely precious, and hated herself even more, why not be bold and go with him early, what a royal princess, she didn't care for a long time.

"Luo Cheng, where are you, are you still alive? When you come back, I must stay with you, and never be separated again, and if my father does not marry again, I will die to show him. ”

"If so....... If you have three long and two short, I will become a nun, cut off the green silk, accompany the Buddha with the green lantern, and always chant for you. ”

Princess Ruyi sighed lightly, the melancholy in her heart was hard to dispel, from the little girl who was alive and clever at the beginning, to the sentimental older girl now, a love word is not shallow!
