On the first day of the first month of the fourth year of Suzheng, every household put up lanterns and laughed. The entire village is also shrouded in a festive atmosphere. Niu Dazhuang was wearing a new dress, and the whole person looked neat and tidy. He and Niu Dahu carried the killed chickens into their yard.

"Godmother, Chunniang, Brother Big Tiger is here, Uncle will be here in a while, how is the meal prepared?"

"It's all ready, just waiting for you to come back. His uncle hurried to sit in the house. ”

Niu Dahu first went to the back room to greet the old lady Wang who was cutting window flowers. He also used his beard to tie the cow Tianci (Yanhui) who was practicing rolling on the kang. The old lady of the Wang family slapped the big tiger in disgust.

"Go and drink water, make my grandson hurt, be careful that my aunt beats you."

"Haha, auntie, can you still impress me now? Auntie, you cut more window flowers, my Cuilian is not as good as yours. ”

"Okay, cut as much as you want, as much as you want, hehe."

"Auntie, what my big tiger said is right, no one in our village can compare to you if you want to talk about dexterity. Xiao Man, go to the back room to learn from grandma, and look at my brother by the way. "Cuilian, the daughter-in-law of the big tiger, is a woman with a strong physique and a straightforward personality. Xiaoman is the only daughter of her and Da Hu, and these two are the same as Niu Dazhuang, who want to have another son. For this bull and tiger, he also secretly went to the mountain temple to offer incense, and hoped that the mountain god's grandfather would also send them a son. If the mountain god really has a spirit, he will definitely cry and laugh and say, "The deity is only in charge of the mountains, rivers and rivers." If you want a son, are you worshipping the wrong temple gate, or go to the mother who sent the son. ”

Xiao Man is only ten years old, she is handsome and lovely, and she concentrates the advantages of Niu Dahu and his family. From Yan Hui's point of view, Xiao Man can be regarded as a pure little Lori. This girl is the one who regarded gold as dung and took the lead in shouting "old aunt, old aunt, brother stinks". Xiao Man jumped into the house and shouted "Milk, uncle, aunt", and then climbed onto the kang and carried Niu Tianci (Yan Hui) to the urinal.

"Brother, good boy, whoa." If there is a crack in the ground, Yan Hui doesn't mind making him into a deep pit and hiding in it. He is not afraid of anyone, just this young lady. It is a very happy thing to be held by a beautiful woman, but being held by an underage beauty and urinating, Yanhui's mood is not beautiful. Well, who made him a baby now. But sister, can you not use your innocent and beautiful big eyes to stare at other people's cows. If you dare to look at it this way when you grow up, I will obey you. Yan Hui couldn't stop sighing in his heart, when is this day a head.

After dealing with it casually, Yan Hui returned to the place just now and continued to roll. In the eyes of others, this is a normal reaction of a child. But for Yan Hui, this is to strengthen his body and prepare for further cultivation of the Divine Dragon Technique. If it weren't for the physical limitations of this baby, Yan Hui's realm would have already broken through the triple and reached the realm of Xiaocheng.

"Look at my family, I can climb just like this, and I can roll, I must be a great guy in the future." The old lady of the Wang family looked at her grandson who was tossing back and forth happily, and she couldn't enjoy it and slapped Yan Hui's ass lightly with her hand.

"Milk, if you tap it, my brother will stink." Xiao Man added on the side.

"Niu Xiaoman, you wait, you wait for me to grow up, hum." Yan Hui muttered in his heart.

With the arrival of Niu Mountain, the lively New Year's dinner began. The old lady of the Wang family was invited to the main seat, and Niu Mountain sat next to her.

"Old sister-in-law, the two of you are filial to your mother, you are blessed, you are blessed."

"yes, yes. Uncle, thanks to you, too. If you hadn't taken care of me, I would have gone with them. The old lady Wang said as she wiped her tears. Her husband and son joined the Northern Army and were also killed in battle. Niu Shan and the villagers have been taking care of the old lady. It was with the help of the villagers that after the youngest son of the Wang family died in the war, the Wang family did not look for a short view.

Niu Shan: "Come, old sister-in-law." I toast you with a glass that you drank for my brother and some of my nephews who died in battle. They are the pride of our old Niu family, and they are the heroes of Dayan, dry. ”

Everyone in the room drank the wine respectfully. Only then did Yan Hui know that her grandmother was still the widow of a soldier of the Northern Army. That means that grandma's husband and son are either Yan Chengyu's soldiers, or his grandfather's soldiers who he has never met.

The Northern Army is the first army of Dayan, there is no city that the Northern Army cannot take, and there is no battle that the Northern Army cannot win. In the Shenzhou Continent, the Northern Army is synonymous with invincibility. Their commander is the head of the Yan family for generations, and he is also the military god of Dayan for generations. The Northern Army selects troops strictly, and it is not too much to say that it is one in a hundred. Therefore, being able to become a soldier of the Northern Army is the highest ideal of Dayan soldiers. Not to mention becoming a general, even if you can become an ordinary soldier, it is enough to make your family feel honored.

Yan Hui involuntarily approached her grandmother. He thought that one day, he would become the commander of the Northern Legion, just like his ancestors. The soldiers who led him roamed the world and galloped on the Shenzhou continent.

After a short period of mourning, the relatives talked about their daily words and their hopes for the future. Chun Niang held Yan Hui in her arms and carefully fed him the boiled soft meat. While feeding, he said, "God's gift, eat more, and grow up quickly." Mother sent you to study and learn martial arts, and in the future, we will also be a useful person who can be a country of literature and martial arts, and glorify our ancestors for our old Niu family. ”

Niu Shan slapped the table and applauded when he heard this, exaggerating that his daughter-in-law was insightful. The family was lively and happily eating the reunion dinner.

At this time, Yan Hui was saying in his heart: Daddy, although I am not your own child, I must make you proud of me in the future. I will definitely make the Lao Niu family an enviable and famous family.

It was also at this time that Yanhui remembered his biological parents, especially his mother Zhuo Yujiao. He didn't know what was going on with his mother. I wonder if my mother can also sit in a warm room and eat a hot meal quietly. Is there also so many relatives with her? Although Yan Hui's mind is already an adult, at this moment, he repeatedly said this sentence in his heart: "Mother, where are you?" Are you cold? Are you hungry? Hui'er misses you. Daddy, are you okay? Do you miss Hui'er, do you miss me and my mother? ”

Zhuo Yujiao is also thinking about Yan Hui and Yan Chengyu in her heart at the moment. She did not have a reunion dinner with her relatives in a warm house. She was standing on top of a cliff now, the cold wind blowing the ends of her hair. She has lost a lot of weight, and her skin is no longer delicate. Her leather armor was torn. But she still fought with a dozen men in black with a spear in hand. At this moment, she only knew that she had come to a deep mountain in Liaodong. The enemy followed her like a hound, leaving her without a moment of peace.

A few days earlier, she had encountered reinforcements, but the enemy was outnumbered, and the reinforcements only resisted her for half a day before they were all wiped out. In the end, she was forced to the top of this cliff. The enemy's losses were also heavy, and only a dozen of the more than 200 people were killed so far.

Zhuo Yujiao grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into her mouth, the cold snow water moistened her thirsty throat and shocked her spirit. She tightened the swaddling swaddle on her back, there was nothing in it, it was a disguise she had made to confuse the enemy. She looked at the approaching enemy, roared and stabbed with a spear.

The terrain on the cliff is narrow, and Zhuo Yujiao is on the road that must be passed. The man in black couldn't help her for a while. After a fight, six more men in black were killed and snatched down.

"Zhuo Yujiao, you have no way to escape. Just grab it, so that you can save your life and don't have to do any more dying struggles. A cold voice rang out. Zhuo Yujiao knew that this was the eunuch with eyes like poisonous snakes, and he was the leader of this gang. Beside him was a person with a sword who exuded a cold and murderous aura, and Zhuo Yujiao felt that person was the most terrifying.

"If you want to kill, you will kill, what are you talking about." Zhuo Yujiao replied coldly.

The leader jumped up with a long roar, and the long knife in his hand went straight to Zhuo Yujiao's throat. Zhuo Yujiao danced the spear, and the two fought together. The leader's martial arts were even more clever than the previous Gonggong Li, forcing Zhuo Yujiao to retreat step by step, and the remaining four people also took advantage of the situation to rush to the cliff. Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhuo Yujiao forced the leader back with one shot, and the steel needle between her hands flew out, killing three people in an instant. The leader screamed and pounced, and Zhuo Yujiao swept with his spear. used the one-life-for-one style of play in the Yan family's lance method, and the leader was taken aback and withdrew his sword to resist. With a click, Zhuo Yujiao's spear was cut off by the leader's long knife.

But the leader didn't reap the benefits, and the force of the impact pushed him out, slamming him hard against a rock. The leader opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he saw that the wound was not light. But at this moment, the tail of the gun in Zhuo Yujiao's hand flew over with the sound of the wind. The tail of the spear was a three-edged armor-piercing cone made of stainless steel, and if it hit, the leader would surely die in the west. The leader screamed and tried to dodge, but he didn't have the strength to dodge, so he had to watch as the armor-piercing cone shot at him.

With a loud bang, a long sword slashed through the armor cone and saved the leader's life.

"Old Wu! Good brother, hurry up and catch her. The leader shouted hoarsely.

The man with the sword nodded, and swung his sword to kill him. As soon as she fought, Zhuo Yujiao knew that she was not this person's opponent. Zhuo Yujiao pulled out her sword and killed this person, this person pressed forward step by step, Zhuo Yujiao retreated step by step, and saw that she was close to the side of a crooked neck tree on the edge of the cliff. This person's sword is as fast as a sword, and Zhuo Yujiao gradually loses it. Just as the two of them were mistaken, an inaudible voice came out of Zhuo Yujiao's ears.

"There's a net under the tree, jump."

Zhuo Yujiao took the opportunity to glance at the crooked neck tree. At such a glance, I only saw a thick fog under the crooked neck tree, and I couldn't see what was down there. The two continued to fight, and this person guessed Zhuo Yujiao's doubts. Taking advantage of the staggered body again, he said in a low voice: "Jump quickly, give me a sword." I'm Tianzi No. 1. ”

Zhuo Yujiao was no longer suspicious, and fought more than a dozen moves with this person, grabbed a flaw, and stabbed this person in the right chest with a sword. The man screamed and slammed out. Zhuo Yujiao screamed and flew out of the crooked neck tree. Falling into the abyss like a stone. The man fell to the ground, struggling to pull out his medicine to stop the bleeding.

"Old Wu, I'm coming, you hurry up and stop the bleeding." The leader stumbled over, helped Lao Wu to sit down, and helped him with medicine.

After a while, Lao Wu relieved himself and said: "Father-in-law Gao, I didn't expect this jade dragon to be really powerful, I was actually stabbed by her, if I hadn't dodged quickly, I am afraid that this life would have been explained here." ”

"Old Wu, don't say anything. Although the master wants us to capture Zhuo Yujiao alive, this Jade Jiaolong has strong martial arts, and it uses a desperate fighting style. It's really hard for us to capture her alive. Otherwise, so many people would not have died. But now that these two scourges have finally been eradicated, this is a great achievement. Don't worry, the master won't complain about the two of us. Besides, there is a queen mother covering, we must be fine. The queen doesn't want anyone to compete with her for favor, and now these two banes are dead. The queen will definitely reward us both. ”

"Brother Gaozan, are you saying that Your Majesty also has to listen to Niangniang?"

"That's nature. Old Wu, you used to be too rigid. From now on, you will follow my brother and me, and the two of us will live and die, and this friendship cannot be compared to others. My eldest brother is Gao Ping, the head of the inner chamberlain beside the master. In the future, our brothers will be prosperous and wealthy, so that others will look at it. ”

"Then in the future, the younger brother will ask the elder brother to take care of it."

"I didn't say it, I can't forget your life-saving grace. Brother Wu Hong, do you think Zhuo Yujiao is dead or not? ”

"Senior brother, you can still survive if you fall from such a high place, unless you are an immortal. See for yourself if you don't believe it. ”

Gao Zan trembled and came to the edge of the cliff to look down, Rao is strong in martial arts, and he couldn't help but pout his tongue again and again.

"My mom, I can't see the bottom. I'm afraid that people will be crushed if they fall, and they will not be saved, for sure. Wu Hong and Gao Zan supported each other and slowly walked down the cliff.

Zhuo Yujiao flew off the cliff with the thrust of Wu Hong's palm, and it was useless to think about anything at this point. Zhuo Yu simply closed her eyes, covered her head with her arms and curled up her body in a ball. There was a whirring wind in my ears, and it took about two breaths. With a bang, Zhuo Yujiao felt a shock all over her body, and a pain came from her body. But the rapidly falling body stopped, and she slowly opened her eyes to see that she was in a huge net. There were as many as six layers of this net, which stopped Zhuo Yujiao from falling.

"Sister, sister? Are you okay? I'm Xiaoxiong. Sister, don't worry, I'll save you. ”

Chu Tianxiong, the head of the four Leng Feng families, the contemporary young head of the Chu family, and Zhuo Yujiao's cousin. The wife of the contemporary head of the Chu family, that is, Chu Tianxiong's mother, is Zhuo Yujiao's aunt. Hearing the voices of her relatives, Zhuo Yujiao couldn't help crying.

"Sister, don't cry yet. The opponent hasn't left yet, and my brother is late. When we get home, you can punish me as much as you want, but don't say anything now. Sister, drink this milk wine first to warm up your body, lie down and don't move. ”

Zhuo Yujiao took the cowhide wine bag and drank the warm milk wine in a big gulp. She stretched her limbs and lay down, and her heart, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed. Zhuo Yujiao let out a long breath, and said in her heart: "Hui'er, my mother is still alive, waiting for my mother to find you." ”

In the study of the Qin State Mansion in Fengtian City, Yan Chengyu untied the bamboo pipe from a pigeon's leg and pulled out a paper roll from it. He raised his hand, and the pigeon fluttered out of the open window. After Yan Chengyu read the note, he then burned the note clean. His furrowed brow loosened slightly.

"Husband." A timid call came. Yan Chengyu saw Princess Long Rongyue of Sheng'an, dressed in a goose yellow palace suit, walking in with a coquettish smile on her face.

Long Rongyue was sixteen years old, and it was the time of youth. The first time she saw Yan Chengyu was when Yan Chengyu was ordered by the first emperor to quell the rebellion in the south, exterminate the five barbarians in the south, and return to Beijing in triumph. At that time, Yan Chengyu was only in his early twenties, and he had not yet married Zhuo Yujiao. As the son-in-law of the first martial arts family of Dayan, Yan Chengyu, the commander of the new generation of the Northern Army, is the spring boudoir dream of many of the daughters of the big families in Fengtian City. As soon as Long Rongyue saw the high-spirited and heroic Yan Chengyu, she couldn't tolerate others anymore in her heart.

But she knew she couldn't compare with the ladies of the family. The first line of the king of Liaodong is not a close branch of the royal family. The ancestor Long Xingguo committed suicide because he could not unite with foreign tribes to raise troops and rebel because of the failure to fight for the throne. This made the Liaodong king's lineage always isolated from the court and preferred to the Liaodong fiefdom. The children of the family can only marry with third- and fourth-rate minor nobles. Long Langyue wants to marry Yan Chengyu, which is really a bit whimsical.

In addition to the fact that the two families are not on the same level, the door is not the right household. There is a more important reason that Long Xingguo, the ancestor of Long Rongyue, was defeated at the hands of Yan Wushuang, the ancestor of the Yan family. It can be said that the two families have a feud, so although Long Rongyue secretly promised Yan Chengyu, it can only be intentional and ruthless.

Later, after Yan Chengyu and Zhuo Yujiao got married. Long Langyue wanted to die, but her love was hard to give up. For this reason, Long Rongyue secretly regarded Zhuo Yujiao as her benchmark and vowed to surpass her. If people have motivation and purpose, they will burst into infinite potential. Long Langyue is excellent in all aspects, coupled with the beauty of the person, she was called "Liaodong Lady" when she was in Liaodong. But the title given to her by people in the capital is "Little Yujiao". This means that although Long Langyue has Zhuo Yujiao's demeanor, it is still a little worse. Long Langyue was very upset about this, and after comparing herself and Zhuo Yujiao in an all-round way, she began to practice martial arts hard. As for her martial arts, others don't know.

Later, after Long Yanji ascended the throne and became emperor, he canonized Long Rongyue as the princess of Sheng'an. Long Langyue felt that she could be equal to her beloved, and that love was revived. The thought of Yan Chengyu made her fascinated. In desperation, I had to tell the emperor's brother what he thought.

Long Rongyue didn't want to treat Zhuo Yujiao well, she felt that as long as she could be with Yan Chengyu, it didn't matter if she had an identity or not. But the simple Long Langyue didn't expect that he would bring such a big disaster to the Yan family. So since she married Yan Chengyu as she wished, she has always felt that she owes Yan Chengyu and Zhuo Yujiao in her heart. It should also be for this reason, after getting married, Long Langyue was obedient to Yan Chengyu, and changed the law to coax Yan Chengyu to be happy. Long Yanhei named Yan Chengyu as the crown prince, and Long Rongyue begged her brother and sister-in-law to beg for it, which shows that Long Rongyue has a deep affection for Yan Chengyu.

"Husband, you are hiding in the study alone. The weather is very good today, so let's go to Daxiangguo Temple together. The concubine really wants to go with her husband to see the livelihood of the market. Long Langyue looked at Yan Chengyu shyly, and a pair of jade hands kept fiddling with the gorgeous skirt. There was infinite anticipation in her tone, but also a little panic. Since getting married, Yan Chengyu rarely goes out with her. Whenever she wants Yan Chengyu to accompany her out, she is always afraid of being rejected in her heart.

Yan Chengyu looked at Long Langyue, who was more delicate than the flower in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart. Such a simple-hearted woman really shouldn't be involved in this whirlpool of struggle for power and profit. Thinking about the good news just now, Yan Chengyu's heart that he had been carrying finally let go a little. He nodded at Long Langyue.

"Huh? Husband, you agreed, that's great. I'll go and prepare the car, husband, wait. Long Langyue was pleasantly surprised, turned around and ran to the door of the study. But just after running a few steps, she turned around, bowed down to Yan Chengyu Yingying in a dignified manner, and made a wife salute in a proper manner. Yan Chengyu watched her float out of the door like a butterfly, and the sound like a silver bell came far away.

"Mama Xia, hurry up and prepare the car, I want to go to Daxiangguo Temple with my husband, hurry up."

Long Langyue never called Yan Chengyu a concubine in front of others, and never called herself the princess. In her heart, none of those titles are as good as those of her husband and beloved wife. It can be said that Long Langyue gave up the dignity of a princess for Yan Chengyu, and only wanted to be Yan Chengyu's little wife wholeheartedly.

On the way to Daxiangguo Temple, Long Langyue snuggled up to Yan Chengyu, and the happiness on his face could be seen by everyone. She leaned on Yan Chengyu's ear and whispered, "Husband, Langyue knows that Husband Jun is worried about Sister Zhuo." Don't worry, husband, when my brother is no longer angry, we will quietly take Sister Zhuo back from her hometown. The three of us don't care about the outside world, as long as we live our lives with harmony and beauty, okay? ”

Yan Chengyu gave Long Rongyue a smile, Long Rongyue looked at Yan Chengyu's handsome face stupidly, and there was only one thought in her mind: "Husband smiled, she smiled at me." Yan Chengyu looked at Long Langyue, how could this simple woman know the dangers and difficulties in the world. During this period of contact, Yan Chengyu found that Long Rongyue was a kind-hearted person, especially for himself and the people in the house. is born of the same mother, a mediocre and incompetent, rigid and self-serving. One is as pure as a crystal, which makes people can't help but want to take care of her and prevent her from being infected by the world. But is this possible? Yan Chengyu asked himself silently.
