At the beginning of the sixth year of Li Tang Zhende, Yangqu City, a forgotten small city in the north, celebrated overnight, and the people sang and danced, all of which were full of joy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

That night, in the backyard of the school field, under a cold and windy plum tree, Liu Xi and Ming Miao, the most shining disciple of Confucianism, cooked a cup of wine with wind and snow and green plums.

The two sat together for less than half an hour, but no one knew what they were talking about, maybe it was talking about the Tao, or maybe it was a discussion about the wind and moon.

In the middle of the night, Ming Miao took advantage of the wind and snow to hug the qin and left, judging from the direction he left, he did not leave the city, it seemed that there was still something worth staying in this small Yangqu city.

These, Ma Xiu and Lin Yi, who came later, didn't ask, they carried the wine jug, pulled Liu Xi to drink one sip after another, and the final result was that both of them were drunk and babbling, so that Liu Xi spent a lot of effort to send them into the room to rest.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for Yangqu City, until the sky was bright, and after the people spontaneously cleaned the school grounds, they dispersed with the joy that had not yet receded.

Liu Xi, who took a nap for a while, played a set of boxing in the courtyard, and after receiving the fist, he happened to see Wu Shuang'er coming with the water money for washing, the little girl stayed with Wu Quan's father and son who had never left last night, and her face was bright and moving with a smile at the moment, and the lotus green short jacket she was wearing was very suitable to set off her white skin.

This dress was obtained by Wu Quan for Wu Wei to gallop back to Xiapi City yesterday, perhaps because he had been preparing it for Wu Shuang'er's mother for many years.

Since ancient times, iron-blooded men have been so tender.

Liu Xi felt a sense of respect in his heart, and then greeted him, and while washing, he talked casually with the little girl.

After eating some breakfast, Liu Xi looked impatiently at the study and walked, because he was not used to staying in the county office, several barracks on the east side of the school field were transformed into Liu Xi's study.

After Liu Xi walked in, he found that Lin Yi and Ma Xiu, who had not met before breakfast, were already busy inside.

"Yusheng, it's very rare for Yangqu City to be rebuilt today!"

Seeing Liu Xi, Ma Xiu put down the account book he was looking at in his hand and said with a bitter face.

Hearing this, Liu Xiwei shrugged his shoulders, "We all know the situation in Yangqu City, there is a lot of waste to be done, you and I have a long way to go." ”

Ma Xiu shook the Qiankun fan in his hand helplessly, "But this waste is too powerful, and it is difficult to pick up this burden." ”

On the side, Lin Yi was silent for a moment, staring at Liu Xi with both eyes, and said very solemnly, "Yusheng, do you want to stay here?" ”

Sitting on the wooden chair on the side, Liu Xi opened the account book on the bookcase, "My fold to the imperial court has been handed over, if there is no major accident, it should stay." ”

"Okay, then I know what to do."

Lin Yi said a word, continued to look at the account book in his hand, and continued to look at it with full attention, but his brows were still locked.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xi understood that there was still a way, although it was very difficult, but Lin Yi agreed, and with his help, many problems must be solved.

For several days, Lin Yi stayed in the office room and stayed at home, staying up all night thinking about how to revitalize the declining Yangqu City, while Liu Xi led the people who kept returning to the city to rebuild their homes and carry out a lot of planning for Yangqu City.

Therefore, the entire Yangqu City has entered a hot scene, and in this season when there is no need to sow seeds and cultivate, the people of the city will devote all their enthusiasm to following Liu Xi to build a new home.

On the fifth day after the beginning of the year, the cloudy wind still blows the clouds and covers the sun, and the snowflakes sprinkled are still nostalgic and unwilling to leave.

The terrain of Qingping Mountainside is relatively flat, although the trees are withered, they are still covered with snow and stand, and between the trees, the newly built tombstones stand quietly.

His eyes stared at these tombstones for a long time, and Liu Xi's heart was full of sorrow, just because there were many old people who died in the battle against the Xiongnu. There are Xiong Gang and Feijia who ran all the way with him, Guo Wei who swore to defend the dignity of the Rampage Brigade, there were veterans of the Tiance Brigade who followed his uncle Liu Han all his life just to repay his kindness and died for him without regrets, there are also Luo Shan who endured humiliation and burdens only to protect the people, and there are countless soldiers and people who are willing to protect their homeland.

Without the blood they spilled, there would be no safety in Yangqu City today.

"My lord, Xiao Lao'er's wife and children are here, I ask you to let Xiao Lao'er be a mausoleum protector here, and you can also take care of your relatives for everyone on weekdays."

A white-haired old man came out of the crowd, his red and swollen eyes were full of tears, and he pleaded with Liu Xi with a choked voice.

When he opened his mouth, more than a dozen people stood up, all of them lost their relatives in the war, became lonely, had no yearning for the world, and were willing to be mausoleum protectors here for the rest of their lives.

Unable to withstand the bitter pleading, Liu Xi could only respond with sour eyes, but still let them wait until Pang Ming built a wooden house before coming to live here.

It wasn't until sunset that the mourners slowly left, and when Liu Xi went down the mountain, he saw the woman crying in front of Guo Wei's grave, and also saw the half-human-tall child clenching his teeth tightly, holding the bull's head flag in his hand, and his face was full of tenacity from the cold.

"My lord, Guo Pinggong is willing to join the command of my lord, please take him in!"

It was like a tide swept in the crowd, and as soon as Guo Pinggong knelt down, there were people kneeling around him, including young men with resolute faces, and young men with childish faces like Guo Pinggong.

"My lord, I would like to join my lord's command!"

Liu Xi's heart beat quickly unconsciously, and he turned his head to look at the boy scout beside him, although the latter was expressionless, Liu Xi could still see the surprise flashing in his eyes.

If a person is not a sage, how can he not have half of his selfishness?

Or maybe he, Liu Xi's revenge by borrowing the power of the people, will also make the people of Yangqu City stronger.

Constantly persuading himself in his heart, Liu Xi stepped forward to take the bull head flag in Guo Pinggong's hand and waved it away with the wind, "Our relatives have fallen to defend their homeland, but as long as the flag is still there, they are still there, and we are all there!" ”

Between the sonorous words, the cold wind blew the flags to hunt, and countless people who knelt on one knee looked at the flags with determination.

Because Guo Pinggong knelt down and begged Liu Xi to recruit the army in advance, and the result far exceeded the previous expectations, there were more than 5,000 people who signed up from all over the place, although these people had not really fought, but they were handed over to the scouts, and it would not be long before another iron army that terrified the enemy would appear.

As for Huyan Qingshi and others who begged Liu Xi to join the army, they were handed over to Qu Lang by him, and the courage and fearlessness shown by these military children against the Huns made him appreciate it very much, so Liu Xi wanted to train them to be his cronies' guards, and then he personally taught them after a while, at least Liu Xi now has a detailed assassination plan in his mind, just waiting to implement it for Huyan Qingshi and others, and create a terrifying Thirteen Taibao in this life.

For a while, the entire Yangqu City was busy, but the most critical Liu Xi was idle, the government affairs were handled by Lin Yi, and the army was handed over to Tong Jun and others, even the loose Ma Xiu also ran around and began his great plan to form a teaching group.

Liu Xi, who had nothing to do, pondered all day long about how to resume his cultivation, and sent someone to inquire about Tian Xun'er's news, although this has always been a futile task.

The seal in his body is very strange, no matter how hard Liu Xi tries, it will not work, and Tian Xun'er and the others seem to have evaporated from the world, even if he contacts the people of the military family, there is no news of them.

The days passed like this, and finally the season of ice and snow faded, and after the gradually warming south wind blew a touch of green, the relief food that Liu Xi and Lin Yi had been waiting for finally arrived.

With relief grain, spring plowing can finally be carried out.

Along with the relief grain, there was also the holy decree of the Li Tang court, as Liu Xi wished, he stayed in Yangqu City as he wished, presiding over the overall situation of construction.

However, there are also things that Liu Xi did not expect, and he was appointed as the envoy of the northern land in the holy decree, which can control the three cities of Xiapi, Yecheng and Tongguan.

After receiving the holy decree, looking at the Yangqu City around him and the Yangqu City that had gradually changed from before, Liu Xi's heart swelled with a sense of pride.

In time, the current ruined and decadent Yangqu City will definitely prosper.
