Yan Xing's way back was the same as the road he took when he rushed to the aid of Jiangyi.

It's just that on the way this time, what Yan Xing saw was that there were not so many fleeing people, which was also thanks to Yan Xing's defeat of the Baibo army in Xiangling and Linfen, plus Guo Tai's main force of the Baibo army, which continued to besiege Pi's for several months, and the momentum of the Baibo army's continued southward invasion was contained.

Winter is coming, although the common people are in the winter, the days of lack of food and clothing are just as difficult. But at least they no longer have to leave their homes and trek through the ice and snow to escape the war, snuggling up to each other in the haystacks of broken houses to keep warm, than to see each other fall on the snow or among the yellow grass, become a starving corpse, and then be buried and swallowed by the merciless wind and snow.

Yan Xing was happy that Li Min Qianshou was able to survive this year of soldiers, and at the same time, he also felt that on his own shoulders, that heavy responsibility, this thing, never need to be granted by others, when you stand in that position in person, you will empathize with it, sigh for it.

With complicated feelings, Yan Xing led the Chinese army soldiers and horses, passing through the territory of Wenxi, the journey from Anyi to Jiangyi, to walk more than two days, according to the past practice, Yan Xing will first stay in Wenxi for a while, this time is no exception, seeing that Wenxi City is in front of him, Yan Xing thought about it, and sent someone to the city to report first.

According to Yan Xing's current status and official rank, of course, he can enter the city to stay in the pavilion or post office, but he has always been strict in governing the army, never throwing soldiers and horses lightly, and he is also used to sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, so Yan Xing just planned to camp outside the city tonight and stay overnight.

Sending someone to the county temple in the city to report it can be regarded as giving Wen Xiling a face, not only to avoid unnecessary friction with the Jiangyi county guards who patrol the city, but also to leave an image for Wen Xi's people who do not disturb the people and take care of the army.

When passing through the west of Wenxi City, Yan Xing's soldiers and horses happened to meet a group of people returning to the city.

It looks like a big family in the city, there are not only knights with horses and spears in front of the procession, but also guests and slaves in the back are mostly carrying knives and bows, guarding the chariot in the middle of the team, and then there are some big slaves and maidservants in the back, the number of dozens of people, it should be the big clan in Wenxi City.

There are so many travelers, if they meet ordinary Qianshou people, it is natural that Qianshou avoids and retreats to both sides of the road, but now they are met by Yan Xing's Chinese soldiers and horses, Yan Xing brought five hundred soldiers and horses, and the armor staff is complete, and the knights who are moving forward are all held by the armor, majestic, although they are silent. But compared with the two, it was the traveling knight in fresh clothes who was angry with the horse, and he hurriedly stopped his horse and sent someone to report back to avoid it.

This section of the official road near the city is so wide, and there are a lot of people and horses and vehicles on both sides, although those people with big surnames who travel, after seeing the many soldiers and horses wearing armor on the opposite side, hurriedly avoid the side of the road, but it still takes some time.

Yan Xing happened to be at this time, and slowly stepped forward, wanting to see which family he happened to meet with the surname Wenxi.

The knights in the army who were moving forward saw that Yan Xingce was coming forward immediately, and they also hurriedly approached to report.

"Captain, on the other side is Wen Xi Pei's travelers!"

"Oh."

After Yan Xing heard that the people in front of him were Wen Xi Pei's people, he also knew it in his chest and nodded. Wenxi Pei's family, a famous family in later generations, although in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, has not yet developed into a prominent family, but in Hedong County, it is also a famous scholar family.

Pei Ye, the former head of the Pei family, was a general of the Liao family and a governor of the state, and the current head of the Pei family, Pei Mao, is also a county commander, a county guard, and a Shangshu order, and is still an official in the court, and is an important minister of the Han family.

Pei's family style is rigorous, and the family study is also Yunwen Yunwu, so Pei Mao's sons, Pei Qian, Pei Jun, Pei Hui, Pei Ji, and Pei Juan, are said to be mostly young and intelligent, proficient in the six arts of scriptures and books Hedong talents, Pei's power in Hedong may not be as good as Wei's, Fan's and other surnames rooted in Anyi, but in Qingwang, it is better.

Yan Xing thought about these things, and originally intended to pat the horse and meet with the people of the Pei family, but he saw that there were many maidservants waiting for him in the traveling car, and after thinking about it, he still dispelled this rash idea.

However, Yan Xing still looked back at the order.

"The Pei family horses who are avoiding the road on the opposite side have many female dependents, and when the soldiers and horses in the army are marching, they should pass quickly, and they must not disturb the good people and cause trouble for no reason!"

The military order was quickly conveyed, and the Pei family on the opposite side also happened to avoid the side of the road, letting Yan Xing's many soldiers and horses pass first.

So Yan Xing led the soldiers and horses, organized the team, and passed quickly through the middle of the road.

Just as Yan Xing, who was in the middle of the team, was riding past the carriage of the Pei family's horses, he suddenly heard someone exclaim.

"Ahh

Yan Xing's ears and eyes were sensitive, and when he heard someone exclaiming, he immediately turned his head to look at the sound, and what caught his eye was the frightened expression of a big slave when he looked at him.

Yan Xing's brows furrowed slightly, one of Pei's servants seemed to know him, and it seemed that he had also caused him a psychological shadow, looking at his expression, it seemed that he had a feeling, not a fake.

But when Yan Xing looked at the big slave, he only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have met once, but when and where, he couldn't think of an approximation.

With such a strange episode, Yan Xing was also curious in his heart, so he simply stopped his horse, and the soldiers under his command saw Yan Xing suddenly stop, and they also stopped one after another, looking at the Pei family's travelers with different eyes, which frightened many of the Pei family's slaves trembling.

The big slave who exclaimed in surprise saw that he was careless for a while, and he actually caused a big disaster, provoking these Xiliang soldiers, and he was immediately frightened, he didn't dare to look at Yan Xing anymore, and hurriedly lowered his head and approached the side of the car, knocked on the window, and then whispered to the people in the car to report the matter.

After a while, I saw that the curtain of the chariot was slightly lifted, and the people in the car seemed to be secretly peeping at him, Yan Xing was even more surprised, he did not wear a helmet today, nor did he wear a martial crown, I believe that the people in the car, if they knew themselves, they would be able to recognize them soon.

Yan Xingzheng wanted to send someone to summon the big slave to come over and ask in front of the horse, but at this time, the car door was slowly opened, and under the service of the maidservant, a young woman wearing a fragrant cloud gauze pleated skirt was slowly getting off the cart.

This woman's hair is combed into a hanging bun, the pleated skirt on her body is based on plain clothes, blue moire is the clothing, her eyes are bright and her face is gorgeous. When he looked at Yan Xing, he smiled faintly, and when he raised his hand, he was intoxicating.

When Yan Xing saw this woman, the vague memory in his mind suddenly became clear, the big slave who just exclaimed was not the big slave who led the horse and sent it over in the night when he was supporting the wind on the right.

And this woman in front of her is the girl who was rescued by herself who infiltrated Sanfu in the wasteland, and then used clever words to solve Yan Xing's troubles!

Memories of the past bit by bit, like a silent spring rain, slowly crept into Yan Xing's mind, allowing him to reproduce the scene of riding a horse and giving words that day, and the scene of plain clothes and beautiful clothes.

Yan Xing's hand holding the reins couldn't help but tighten, he thought about it, and ordered his own soldiers and horses who had suddenly stopped to camp in the open space on the outskirts of the city in the north of the city first, while he stayed behind with a small number of personal soldiers.

···

"After a long absence, I see you occasionally today, but the demeanor of the king is better than in the past!"

The woman was not shy, and when she saw that Yan Xing had transferred the soldiers and horses away, she had stayed behind herself, and she knew that she wanted to see her, so she also moved the lotus step lightly, and walked towards Yan alone, without a slave.

Yan Xing smiled when he heard this, and asked the guards to disperse in the distance, making room for himself to meet with this woman alone.

When only the two of them were left, Yan Xing answered with a smile and said:

"The people of the horses, Gou Quan's life in the battle array, is already a blessing, where can I talk about any style, but Jun, the right side of the wind in a hurry, Jun's argument is quick and wise, and he still keeps it in mind when he says goodbye, but Jun is already a daughter!"

Speaking of the encounter with the right Fufeng, there were both thrills and adventures, and the woman also covered her mouth and smiled, and Wan Er said:

"I often remember the words of the king, 'The world is disorderly, each loves each other, and the rest will go from now on!' Jun's vision can be described as outstanding in the world, but he doesn't know how to see the situation in this world, but he can expect that we will meet here today! ”

Yan Xing smiled freely, he really made this girl's joke right, he was indeed able to predict the general trend of the world, but he couldn't guess that he and she would meet again in such a chance encounter in this place.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, he took Ganling, Ma Lin and others to sneak into Sanfu, in order to rush back to Longxian County before the heavy snow closed the mountain in winter, so he met this girl in the wasteland of the road. Now that time has passed, four years have passed, and I am still on the way before winter, and I met a girl in Wenxi.

Wenxi was originally the land of Zuoyi in the Qin period, but it was only after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that he was happy to pacify the war in South Vietnam, and he turned to the order of "Wenxi".

Now, Yan Xing's leading army passed through Wenxi, and he also encountered a thing that made him quietly happy.

Yan Xing didn't pick up the girl's prediction of his vision, but instead asked:

"In the past, I said goodbye in a hurry, and I didn't have time to talk about it in detail, the lady is a member of the Pei family, but I don't know who the Pei family Juguang Gong is?"

Juguang is now the word of Pei Mao, the head of the Pei family, who is an old minister of the Han family, so Yan Xing is known as the public.

The girl smiled, and did not hide it, and said:

"It's the family!"

Hearing the girl's answer, Yan Xing suddenly understood, it turned out that the woman in front of him was the daughter of the head of the Pei family, no wonder when he saw her for the first time, he felt that she not only behaved dignified and courteous, but also did not alienate from life.

Looking at the man in front of her, the girl saw that after he knew his origin, she thought about it and asked with a smile.

"Since I told you all about my origin, then do you have to report your own family!"

Hearing the girl's playful question, Yan Xing smiled bitterly, although the Pei family has not yet grown and risen at the moment, his family, the Yan family in Jincheng, is a martial arts sect in the border area, and where can it compare to the Pei family of the Hedong Shi clan.

The girl's eyes were bright, she immediately saw the meaning behind Yan Xing's smile, and knew that he was not from a famous family, so she hurriedly answered and said:

"Wait, it's boring to say it like you, let me guess first, you see if I can guess accurately!"

"Good!"

When Yan Xing heard the girl's words, he also felt amused, and he wanted to hear how she guessed her origin.

"Well—"

The girl pretended to look pensive when she heard the voice, waved her head and thought about it, before she blinked her eyes and said with a smile:

"If my guess is correct, you are Yan Yanming, the captain of the who has repeatedly defeated Bai Bo!"

Yan Xing also smiled and made the same movement as the girl, swung his neck, and asked with surprise:

"How did you guess that?"

The girl pursed her lips, shook her head, and said:

"You really want to know?"

"Well, I really want to know!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you, there is a recent ballad in Hedong, which is sung like this, 'Ghost captain, iron-hearted, can drive away evil and soothe the people. Children cry at night, and calling their names can stop the shock. 'Say, who is this ghost lieutenant talking about?' ”

Yan Xing was amused by this nursery rhyme, he thought about it for a while, and then pointed to his nose and said with a smile:

"Haha, it's like scolding me."

Among the two Han Dynasty, the good and evil of local officials in governance, in addition to the praise and disapproval of the court and the comments of the scholars, the public opinion of the people is also another important indicator, and the catchy nursery rhymes that are common to the times are often one of the weather vanes.

The two sons of Feng Fengshi of the former Han Dynasty, Feng Yewang and Feng Li brothers, successively served as Shangjun Taishou, because they were both honest and honest, and the people of the time called them the big and small Feng Jun. And there are songs to praise them, the song says, "Big Feng Jun, Little Feng Jun, brothers follow each other, smart and wise to benefit the people, such as Lu Weide Huajun, Zhou Gong, Kang Shuyu two monarchs." ”

Another example is the incorruptible fan of this dynasty, do Shu County too punctual, abolished the ban on the people of Chengdu to light the lamp and weave cloth at night, Shu brocade is prolific, Chengdu people are rich, and there are songs to praise Lian Fan, the song says, "Uncle Lian, where to twilight?" No fire is forbidden, and the people are safe. There is no robe-like life today. ”

And Yan Xing's garrison Jiangyi, known as the "ghost captain", eliminated violence and peace, and killed a lot of people, so that he could stop children from crying at night, which was both praise and disapproval, so Yan Xing smiled and said that this was scolding himself.

But the girl shook her head and said:

"No, good medicine is bitter in the mouth, and good words are good for deeds. This is the praise and expectation of the people of Hedong for you. It's just that who would have thought that the chivalrous man who pulled out his sword to save him in the right wind wasteland in the past is actually the captain of the Han Dangkou in the east of the mighty river today? ”

Yan Xing nodded, heard the girl's words, and was about to answer, but a young man's immature voice came from behind him.

"Sister, it's not early, I'm going to go home early, so as not to make the eldest brother anxious at home, this gentleman, but my sister's old friend? Walk into the city, my brothers are hospitable men, and they will be able to have a good conversation with a gentleman. ”

Yan Xing turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man with bundled hair, who wanted to walk towards him, but was stopped by the guards, and could only shout to his side.

This little ghost, there is a needle hidden in his words, but he is protective of his sister!

Yan Xing naturally heard the vigilance in the young man's words, he smiled, he didn't mind, turned his head to look at the girl and asked:

"Your brother?"

"Well, my little brother!"

"Okay, I'm just leading the army to pass by Wenxi, so I won't enter the city."

The girl nodded, and with the younger brother of the family staring vigilantly not far away, Yan Xing couldn't say anything more, so the two saluted each other and said goodbye.

Just looking at the figure of the girl leaving, Yan Xing thought about it, and couldn't help but ask:

"Now that we meet again, it's not a meeting in Pingshui, but I don't know when we will be able to see each other again?"

The two only met twice, although it was a life-saving grace, but this was still a little abrupt, but after Yan Xing finished speaking, he couldn't allow him to regret taking it back, so he could only wait quietly for the girl's reaction.

Fortunately, the girl's reaction was quite fast, and she didn't make Yan Xing wait too embarrassed, she stopped and muttered for a while, then looked back and said with a smile:

"On the first day of the coming year, it is a festival for feasting and drinking by the river and going out, if Yan Jun is interested, he might as well take the time to get together and then express his heartfelt feelings!"
