Bamboo is born as green, and bamboo dies as yellow. When the father of the Qinghuang brothers named them, he hoped that they would be like bamboo, tall in life and strong in death.

Ding Zhuqing likes to make friends, values righteousness over wealth, and has a good reputation in Dejia City, and his current status in Dejiawei is inseparable from his popularity.

However, Ding Zhuhuang is the opposite, he has been frail and sickly since he was a child, which has made him develop a withdrawn character, and he has no hobbies except for reading and helping his brother deal with affairs.

Everyone in Ding Fuzhong knows that Ding Zhuhuang doesn't like to be disturbed, although he never beats and scolds his family, but his expression of rejection thousands of miles away also makes everyone stay away from him.

But Ding Zhuhuang's lonely and quiet heart was broken, since he was rescued by Weizhen that day, his heart began to ripple, although it was only a slight touch, but it made him no longer able to bear the feeling of being alone.

It's just that the person he admires, he already has someone else in his heart, Ding Zhuhuang just secretly thought that if he could have met Weizhen earlier, maybe he wouldn't have the depression he has now.

Wei Zeng and Weizhen are already married, and the two are deeply in love, it seems that Ding Zhuhuang should give up. But he didn't know what he thought, so he came to Shifeng City when Wei Zeng was on an expedition to Anyun.

Seeing Weizhen and concluding an alliance, Ding Zhuhuang embarked on the return journey, and he inevitably had a feeling of loss in his heart. I only hope that in the future, when the alliance meets again, we can see the true side again.

"Maybe it's time for me to get married, and when I get married, everything will change." Ding Zhuhuang left Shi Feng City and said silently in his heart.

At the same time, at the main altar of the Tang Gate in Yaodong, by the pond in the backyard, Zheng Duxing was fishing with a fishing rod.

It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the lotus flowers in the pond have long been left with only a few bare branches and some broken leaves, floating on the pond is not miserable. It's just that some fish, which surface from time to time, show that this pond is not a pool of stagnant water.

The fishing rod trembled, Zheng Duxing raised the fishing rod, held the fish he had just caught in the palm of his hand, and said: "I eat bait, but I don't know that it will be eaten by others." I didn't have the intention of eating you this time, but next time, don't take the bait in such a stupid bite. ”

After Zheng Duxing finished speaking, he threw the fish into the water, then hooked the fish to bait, and fished quietly.

At this moment, I heard a bell ringing. Zheng Duxing didn't look back, and knocked the wooden pillar next to him three times, signaling that the person could come in.

It turned out that Zheng Duxing was used to being alone, and he didn't like to be disturbed, and he was suspicious by nature, so he bolted three strings of bells at the door of the backyard, and hollowed out the inside of several pillars for communication. If the matter is urgent, three bells will ring at the same time, and if it is not urgent, only one bell will be pulled; Only when Zheng Duxing responds can they come in, otherwise they will be punished.

This time it was two strings of bells ringing, and Zheng Duxing had already guessed what was going on.

"How's it going, what's going on with Degarway? Now that Lu Boding's army has been driven out of Yaodong, can Dejiawei make a move to renegade on his previous promise? Zheng Duxing heard the sound of footsteps approaching behind him, so he asked.

"Dejia Weisuo has no intention of betraying the alliance, but a few days ago, Lord Ding Zhuhuang went to Yanbei in person, and it seems that he wants to form an alliance with Wei Zeng." Someone came back and forth.

"It's good that Dejiawei doesn't have the intention of betraying the alliance, now our Tang Sect can't dominate Yaodong, if it is plotted by the people he supports, it will really be unlucky. The Ding brothers have some connections with Wei Zeng, and it is not surprising that they will form an alliance. As long as it doesn't harm the interests of my Tang Sect, I don't bother to interfere. Zheng Duxing said.

"Sect Master, I don't understand, with the current strength of our Tang Sect, why do we still have to be subservient to others. Can't we bypass the Dejia Guard and take charge of Yaodong ourselves? The person who came said a little unwillingly.

"There used to be that opportunity, but now it's gone. If it weren't for Lu Boding's people attacking Yaodong before, with the strength of our Tang Sect, it would not be difficult to subdue the Green Gang and the Luofeng Society. It's just that now the Ding brothers have taken power and drove away Lu Boding's army. If we have the move to dominate Yaodong, I am afraid that we will be attacked by a group. It's come to this, and I don't say anything more, is there any news yet? Zheng Duxing sighed, originally he had the opportunity to be the first person in Yaodong, but now although he is also hot in Yaodong, he is always a little uncomfortable when he succumbs to others.

"There is also news that Lu Boding is not willing to fail, and has gathered a large number of sailors, intending to enter Kou Yaodong again. The Green Gang has begun to collect ships and plan to engage in a water war with Lu Boding. ”

"What about the Red Cloud Society? They also occupy a lot of ports. Zheng Duxing asked.

"The Red Cloud Society suffered heavy losses in the war, and now it is still busy recovering its strength, so I am afraid that it will not have the energy to organize a sailor."

"Very good, our Tangmen is just short of some ports now, and we have taken over the ports of the Red Cloud Society. As soon as he informed the Ding family brothers, he said that Siqing Haiphong could not be ignored, since the Red Cloud Society did not have the energy to organize sailors, our Tang Sect was willing to bear this responsibility. Zheng Duxing said.

"But will the Red Cloud Society agree? What if there is a conflict with the Red Cloud Society? ”

"The Red Cloud Society is busy recovering now, and it doesn't have the energy to fight with us. Besides, the coastal defense is unfavorable, and Lu Boding's call is also the first of their Red Cloud Society. However, you still send someone to tell the Red Cloud Society that as long as they give up a few ports in the south, our Tangmen is willing to pay to help them recover. Zheng Duxing closed his eyes and said.

"Okay, I'll do as the sect master instructs. With the Sailor Master, the position of my Tang Sect has been further consolidated. The man said that he was leaving.

"Wait, you have any news about what I specially explained?" Zheng Duxing asked.

"I was so happy that I almost forgot. It has been reported that Miss Wendi is now settling in a place on the west coast of Siqing Sea. However, Miss Wendi's father is dead, and she is still keeping filial piety for her father. Do you want me to arrange a car and boat to send the sect master there? ”

"No need, you tell me the location, I'll go by myself when I have the chance. But now that the war is in chaos, Miss Wendi is not safe alone, so you arrange for people to protect her. Zheng Duxing commanded.

The visitor agreed, and after saying that, he left.

"After fighting and fighting, it still can't go as expected, the Goddess Sect is gone, and there is another Dejia Guard. Is it really so difficult to be the first person in Yaodong? Forget it, don't mention these troubles, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, it's better to send some mooncakes to Miss Wendi. Zheng Duxing's heart was bored for a while, and the fishing rod in his hand couldn't help shaking, but immediately he settled down and fished quietly.

The day when Wei Zeng came to Shifeng City was the Mid-Autumn Festival sooner or later. Although it was hard to travel for several days, the moment I saw Shifeng City, a kind of joy diluted the fatigue of the past few days.

After more than a year of fighting, Wei Zeng finally returned to Shifeng City again, there were people waiting for him, and those were also the people he wanted to protect. What he felt here was a sense of belonging, and now that the Predators had been defeated, his home had not been lost.

Wei Zhen had already dressed up to welcome Wei Zeng's return, and he was naturally very happy to get together with his relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival. A greeting, a joy, in the blink of an eye it was already night.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Stone Wind City is lit up everywhere, many neighborhoods are lit up, and some celebrations are also launched.

The new victory of the Yanbei Righteous Army, the joy of victory, and the joy of the festival make this year's Mid-Autumn Festival even more flavorful.

Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen sat on the high platform of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the festive atmosphere around them, and their smiles were on their faces.

"Now I can finally celebrate happily, in the past I was always worried that the enemy army would kill me, and even the festival did not look like a holiday. Now it's different, the Iron Blood Army has been wiped out, and the land of Yanbei can finally stay away from the flames of war. Wei Zeng said with a smile.

"This is all the result of Fujun's efforts, I think as a Yanbei person, I will be happy to have an official like Fujun." Wei Zhen said.

"I didn't think much about it at the beginning, I just didn't want to see my hometown suffer. It is also unexpected to be able to reach this point now. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts, and the blessings must be shared by everyone. In the coming day, we will reward everyone according to their merits, and do not let anyone who has merit pay in vain. Wei Zeng immediately promised the civil and military officials present.

Everyone expressed their gratitude, and their hearts were even more happy.

"What are your plans for the future? We have already occupied half of Yanbei and Anyun, should we march into Guanbei next, or attack Xu Huai? We have recently formed an alliance with Yaodong, and with their help, our battle will be smoother. Qi Weiren said.

"I'm going to march into Kansai." Wei Zeng thought about it, but still said what he thought in his heart.

"Kansai is naturally going to attack, but now is not a good time. The northern Zhantu people still occupy Mobei, and it is impossible for us to make a detour to Mobei; If we march from Anyun to Kansai, in case the army of Yiyi Ling and Jiangnan cut off our rear route, we will be in danger. It is better to wait for Guanbei and Xu Huai to be pacified, and find a way to defeat Zhang Ling, and when the time comes, it will be natural to settle the Central Plains and seize Guanxi. Qi Weilun frowned, and then persuaded.

"I have to go to Kansai, and I can't wait too long. Two months later, I made a detour to Mobei and marched to Kansai. The Janturians are now in disarray, and they have no intention of attacking us. Wei Zeng said resolutely.

"What is the reason why Brother Xian must attack Kansai? It seems that there is no need for us to march now, and we cannot start a war lightly if it is not necessary. Qi Weilun objected.

"For a promise, I'm going to Kansai. Big brother doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind. Wei Zeng replied stiffly.

Qi Weilun has to oppose it again. It's just that everyone present saw that the atmosphere was not right, so they came up to persuade each other. Seeing this, Qi Weilun didn't want to make too much trouble during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he didn't say anything anymore, and planned to slowly persuade Wei Zeng in the future.

"Brother Wei is really going to pick up Sister Feng. It looks like he's about to make a decision. If he chooses Sister Feng, then what am I? Do you really want to leave him? But I don't want to. When Wei Zhen heard the news that Wei Zeng was going to attack Kansai, he was worried.

"Don't think about it, I won't do anything to hurt you. I will not do anything that fulfills a person or harms a person. I'm going to think of a solution to the problem. Wei Zeng said when he saw Weizhen's mood swings.

"But what's the best of both worlds? It's simply not possible to have the best of both worlds. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

"I don't know right now, but I'll definitely figure it out." Wei Zeng was speechless for a moment, and then said.
