Xu Ruyu and Youli have been married for several years and have a son, which almost makes the princes of Jiangning look forward to the autumn water. Xu Ruyu didn't care, but the princes of Jiangning insisted on holding a grand Yulin ceremony for the newborn. The gift of Yulin includes the full moon, washing the dust, and sending names, and the people of the time especially attached great importance to sending names, and Chen Ang and his wife also secretly arrived in Jiangning to watch the ceremony three days before the newborn gift.

The relationship between Jiang Ning and Wanling was bad, Xu Ruyu only thought that Chen Ang could not make the trip, and he was overjoyed to see each other at this time, and the impatience that had been hidden for so many years was also empty.

Youli held the baby in his arms, his pink skin had not yet grown full, his brows seemed to be frowning with sorrow, and his slightly open eyes were like stars reflected in a clear spring. Xu Ruyu looked at it with a smile for a while, then walked out of the West Garden with Chen Ang, walked up to the road between the West Garden and the Warm Cloud Pavilion, and said, "Life is rather expensive and cheap? ”

Chen Ang suddenly thought about it, looked at Xu Ruyu fixedly, but did not speak.

Xu Ruyu laughed to himself: "Those who start a clan and inherit the bloodline of the same lineage are also families." Compared with the son of a poor family, the son of a family is born with a difference between high and low, which makes people feel a lot of emotion. ”

Chen Ang suddenly realized why Xu Ruyu had this emotion, laughed, and said: "Everyone else wants to have an heir and is rich and expensive, but Ruyu is afraid? ”

"You can't hide everything from your godfather, you often think in your heart, people can choose death, there is a difference between high and low character, you can't choose life, and you can be born to distinguish between the rich and the low? Whether it is virtuous or not, it is impossible to know, and all the princes of Jiangning attach great importance to this son, which is too rash. ”

Chen Ang sighed: "For him, it is too heavy." ”

Xu Ruyu was slightly stunned, knowing that what his godfather said was the helplessness of being born as a son of a family.

When he first got a child, Xu Ruyu was the same as other first fathers, and his heart was filled with extreme joy, but when he saw that everyone regarded it as the treasure of Jiangning, and he couldn't wait to gather the grace of the southeast on the newborn, Xu Ruyu faintly felt disgusted in his heart, and the more he saw the busy Yulin gift for the newborn in the city, the more impatient he was. After Xu Ruyu returned to Jiangning, he did not have the enthusiasm of a first-time father for newborns, but gave birth to some alienation.

Xu Ruyu said to himself: "People's hearts are easy, a hundred years of hardship, and the battle at this time seems to be quite amazing. There was a self-deprecation in his tone.

Chen Ang looked at Xu Ruyu and said secretly in his heart: Although Ruyu has a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, he can't tell others in Jiangning. Xu Ru is only over twenty-five years old, and he does not have the hesitation of a young man, but what he is filled with is the infinite loneliness and sorrow of a person in a high position, and others will not be able to understand it.

Chen Ang said: "People's hearts are easy, a hundred years of hardship, you finally choose the thorny road that Zixing has been seeking for a long time in his life." ”

Xu Ruyu smiled slightly and said: "After saying goodbye last year, Jiangning finally became a climate, and Ruyu had some extravagant hopes in his heart. Thou foolishness also knows the trend of the situation, and it is beyond the power of man to change it, so he only wants to be able to take advantage of the situation and achieve some things. ”

Once upon a time, the Zhu and Fan clans were towering and indestructible mountains between the Qingjiang River and Yongyang, but at this time, the Zhu and Fan clans only hoped to find their own position in Jiangning. Jiang Ning insisted that the Zhu and Fan clans give up their military power, otherwise Jiang Ning would send troops to pacify the Zhu and Fan clans with less than 100,000 remnants.

The Zhu and Fan clans have a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, but they are divided into three forces that cannot work together, but Jiangning can recruit more than 100,000 powerful troops in Yuejun, and also has an elite water battalion that plays a decisive role in the southeast battlefield, and the outcome of this war is known without fighting; Unless the situation in the world changes dramatically overnight.

In the land of Zhongzhou, except for the continuous fighting in Yuzhou in the southwest and Fanyang in the northeast, the fighting in the rest of the places has temporarily stopped after entering September, giving people the appearance of calm. However, the world knows that this calm brews an even greater crisis.

It will take some time for the storm that swept across the five northern counties to blow over the southeast; The forces of Nanping's restoration used to be the biggest threat to the southeast, but since Rong Yanmen led his troops to the west to conquer Chongqing, hundreds of thousands of Nanping elites have fallen into a distant and indefinite war beyond the lofty mountains, and the troops remaining in Nanping are still overstretched to deal with the military pressure of Nanning, Jiangning, and Jingxiang, and they are unable to interfere in the affairs of Yuejun again.

After the Battle of Southern Fujian, the relationship between Jiangning and Wanling was sometimes bad, but everyone knows that in the relationship between the two families, Jiangning always took the initiative. Even though Yue County had not yet been fully incorporated into Jiangning's rule, Xu Ruyu still took an aggressive and aggressive posture on the border between the two families.

Xu Ruyu is no longer the quiet and elegant that the world is familiar with, and he suddenly becomes domineering, which makes people unable to figure it out.

Chen Ang looked at Xu Ruyu fixedly, his eyes burned, and he said slowly: "You can think like this, you are already much taller than others. If there is a need to give up, I can understand that. ”

Xu Ruyu saw that Chen Ang did not question Jiang Ning and Wanling's bad relationship, but he said these comforting words, and his heart was warm.

"It has been more than 140 days since Gu Shida broke through Xijing, and the damage that Gu Shida brought to Qinzhou seems to be limited to the southwest corner of Qinzhou County, but the crisis brewing in it, Ru Yu often shuddes late at night."

Chen Ang said: "Xun Zhuwu led the Liumin army to the west and plundered Hedong Mansion, but it stopped at the right time and reorganized the army in Xiayi and other places in Hedong Mansion for nearly a year. Although Xun Zhuwu's wild thoughts did not disappear, it was precisely because he temporarily suppressed his ambitions for Qinzhou and gathered his soldiers and horses in Xiayi, which is adjacent to Fen County, that Fen County did not have a great chaos in the whole territory due to famine and displaced people. The Xun clan, the Qinghe Li clan, and the Qingzhou Yi clan were able to unite with the camp of displaced people led by Guan Yinggong to form a large-scale military force to resist the Hulan people in Bianzhou. ”

Xun Zhuwu's exile army can only seek a way out from Qinzhou, otherwise there will be no foundation at all, Xun Zhuwu gathered his soldiers and horses in Xiayi, which is adjacent to Fen County, and did not continue to invade Qinzhou in depth, so it was naturally impossible to threaten Luochuan, a strong city in the east. Although the Xun clan did not dare to take it lightly, due to the policy adopted by Xun Zhuwu to absorb the displaced people, there was no major chaos in the western part of Fen County because of the problem of displaced people. Compared with the disorder and chaos in the Northern Tang Dynasty, Xiangzhou, Bianzhou and other places, the western part of Fen County can be regarded as peaceful.

Xu Ruyu said: "Compared with last year, the drought in Qinzhou, Fenjun and other places this year has not been greatly alleviated, but the long-term chaos has caused more serious problems. I'm worried that Xun Zhuwu is waiting for the opportunity, as long as the time comes, Xun Zhuwu will lead the exile army under his command and Gu Shida to fight for life and death in the land of Qinzhou, and then the exiles will not be able to take care of the exiles, and the western part of Fen County will fall into chaos, and the Xun clan is only afraid that he is not prepared for this. ”

Chen Angshi can understand: Hulan talent is the anxiety and worry that pressed on the deepest part of Xu Ruyu's heart.

Although Cai Yi led the remnants of the clan to hold on to Fanyang for several months, hundreds of thousands of Hulan elite soldiers poured into Youji, and there was absolutely no way to contain a lonely city. The people in Jiangning were puzzled: the Hulan king's tent was still standing at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, and the military affairs of the Hulan people in Youji were still presided over by Helan Rongruo and Chu Shimi's sons. What kind of timing are the Hulan people waiting for?

Xu Ruyu and Chen Ang talked as they walked, and they didn't realize that they had left the West Garden.

The hundreds of courtyards at the foot of the Shengyou Mountain in Dongcheng are mostly the private residences of the Zhu family in Jiangning, after Xu Ruyu entered Jiangning, he opened it up as the Qingfeng Mansion and the government offices, the garrison is strict, the civilians are grounded, the high walls on both sides of the road stand upright, look out from the middle of the high wall, you can see the lush mountains and forests on the top of the Shengyou Mountain.

The back garden of Qingfeng Mansion covers a wide area, and the northeast of the back garden almost occupies a low peak at the northeast foot of Shengyou Mountain. Xu Ruyu liked the scenery here, but he was worried about the extravagance of the inner mansion, so he carved out the area around the hills from the scope of Qingfeng Mansion.

Out of Shao Haitang's instructions, the Yanwutang opened up a site from it, which was used by the generals to practice martial arts, and the school field was adjacent to the back garden of Qingfeng Mansion, which was naturally convenient for Xu Ruyu to enter and exit. The generals who can come here to practice martial arts in the martial arts hall are all selected to be cultivated, and they can get Xu Ruyu's personal guidance just like being selected for the Qingfeng Mansion Division.

Xu Ruyu and Chen Ang walked there, where several heroic young men were fighting with guns, and when they saw Xu Ruyu coming, they stopped and saluted. Xu Ruyu and Chen Angjing walked towards the low peak, and several teenagers fought again. The mountain rocks of Shengyou Mountain are mostly red, such as the flowing glow that is so rich that it can not be dissolved in the evening sky, the leaves of the trees in the mountain are as small as eggs, and they are not withered and yellow in autumn, they can not withstand the wind and rain, and they fall straight down, and accumulate a place.

When I left the West Garden, the topic I talked about was quite heavy, and when I saw the autumn mood in front of me, my mood became more and more melancholy. Chen Ang felt that there was a slight breath in the distance, and felt surprised, this place should still be a forbidden area, could it be that which lazy young man from the martial arts hall was sleeping in front of him?

Turning the mountain wall, I saw a crimson boulder suddenly coming out behind the mountain wall, a young man sitting on the boulder, the open placket of the fine scale Seiko armor tucked under the armpits, revealing the green clothes inside, the red scarf tied around the neck, and a silver spear randomly inserted into the mud in front of the boulder.

The young man stared at the endless floating clouds in the northern sky, and he didn't notice that Xu Ruyu and Chen Ang were standing beside him.

Xu Ruyu thought of Cai Yi leading his clan to hold on to a hopeless city with no reading ability, and his heart was sour, and he couldn't bear to look at the young man's lonely back.

Chen Ang looked at the young man's cold side face like a mountain rock, and remembered Cai Yilai when he was a teenager.

Chen Ang sighed slightly, the young man was frightened, and when he saw Xu Ruyu and an old man standing behind him, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

Xu Ruyu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Have you cleaned the school field today?" ”

The young man lowered his head and picked up the silver spear, and was about to retire, but Xu Ruyu stopped him and said, "After you clean the school grounds, go to find the water like a shadow, and there is another document that you need to copy." After he left, he said to Chen Ang, "Jing Luo is the youngest son of his uncle, and after he arrived in Jiangning, he was silent and said little, and he had many disagreements with Jiangning's children, which was worrying." ”

Chen Ang said: "When the new dynasty was founded, although Gaozu was sick, but his majesty still existed, he was able to control the Hedong family, the Central Plains was stable, and the children of the Hedong family were very close, and I met Cai Yi at that time. At first glance, it is as if I have returned to more than 40 years ago. ”

Gaozu chased the Yuan clan out of Qinzhou, the beginning of the new dynasty, there will be ten years, the land of Zhongzhou has not been a soldier, Chen Ang recalled the things at that time, full of emotion.

Chen Ang seemed to be stuck in the past, and said in a low voice: "Gao Zuxue, if you want to pass on to your younger brother, the clan will chase him, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will ascend the throne, and he will reign for thirty-six years, but there is no good government or virtue, and the Hedong family is not attached to the inner court." Emperor of the Apocalypse, the Qinzhou family supported the young emperor. The young man ascended the throne, only eight years old, and the government decree was learned of the temple people, harming the ancestral system, and the Qinzhou family was separated from the inner court. Do you know who the brother of Gaozu is today? ”

Xu Ruyu shook his head and said, "Godfather said that it is good to teach me." ”

Chen Ang said: "The secret of this has nothing to do with the overall situation, because the brother of the ancestor has long been very indifferent to the clan, he has the same mind as your father, and he knows that he can't change the world even if he exhausts manpower, so he can be his master outside the world with peace of mind." I only thought that Gu Shida would attack Xijing, and he would show up to deter him, so that Gu Shida would be restrained, but I didn't expect him to be so lazy that he couldn't be found, but I heard Xuanji say that he might be in Jiangning. ”

can deter tens of thousands of male teachers with the power of one person, two or three sons in the world, Xu Ruyu knows who he is.

What Fu Yichen pursues is to get rid of the dust and escape into the void, and the earthly things are more nihilistic in his eyes than the empty way.

Xu Ruyu and Fu Yichen got together in Yongyang Mingyue Tower for a month, and Fu Yichen once said: "When I go, you will know, don't be sad, that is my great leisure." The meaning of Fu Yichen's words is that when he reappears in the world, it is the time to leave the world. For several years, although Xu Ruyu has been longing to see Fu Yichen again, he knows in his heart that Fu Yichen Yongyang and his party have cut off the last reluctance to the world, and are waiting for the call of the ethereal and unpredictable Dao.

Although Cao San told him about the Xuancheng Restaurant, he knew in his heart that the person who revealed the supreme Xuangong could never be Fu Yichen. In addition to Heavenly Master Chu Shiduan, although Tianji Xueqiu and Fu Yichen are also among the grandmasters, Ji Sixian, Yue Feixue and others are not as big as the world imagines.

Xu Ruyu said the reason, Chen Ang sighed slightly when he heard it, and said: "Gaozu went out of Qinzhou by the Yuan family, and the Hedong family called the system, Fu Yichen made great contributions, and the only one in the Hedong family who can control the heavenly machine and snow autumn by force, but Fu Yichen is also." Fu Jiechen was famous at that time, and after abandoning the world, he knew that the things of the world were nothing but the carvings of the dust were not false, so he took the name Wisp Chen. Fu Xian, who is mentioned in the biography, died of illness and was buried in Dongling, Hedong Prefecture. The world's well-known master is a Taoist in Tanglin with rags and filthy clothes. The secrets of this are all told to me by your father, and there are no more people in the world who can connect Tanglin Dao with Fu Xian fifty years ago. Your father went out of the Tianji Xueqiu Gate, traveled through Dongling, met Fu Yichen, and made an appointment with their own dusty past. The two of them each lost once, and Fu Yichen told your father about his past. Your father suffered a great disaster when he was young, and his heart has abandoned the memories of his childhood, and all he remembers is what happened after he worshiped under the Tianji Xueqiu Gate. Fu Yichen opened the mystical pupil, and at a glance broke the eternal countercurrent of your father's cultivation for ten years, and your father opened the closed door of memory and recalled the events of his childhood, and Fu Yichen and your Xu family formed a decades-long opportunity. ”

Xu Ruyu thought that he was afraid that he would not be able to meet him again before his death, and his heart ached faintly, and he raised his head slightly, looking at the narrow sky above the passage.

After a while, Xu Ru Yufang said: "I want to send Mu'er under Master Fu's name and take the word 'Xian', does my godfather think it's okay?" ”

Chen Ang nodded and said, "It's okay." Thinking that I might not have the opportunity to see the grandmaster's demeanor again, I hated it in my life. ”

Shao Haitang, Mei Tierui and others all knew that Chen Ang knew Jiang Ning, but Chen Ang did not want to see the old man, Chen Ang was confined to the West Garden, and only interacted with Fang Su, Zhang Zhongdao and others, and Xuanji naturally stayed in the West Garden to accompany Chen Ang and his wife.

The day after Chen Ang arrived in Jiangning, the Inner Government issued a letter that Xu Ruyu named the newborn Xian, nicknamed Mu'er, without saying who the child would be sent to, and there was no explanation of the origin of the name.

Xu Ruyu chose the name of his son but did not explain anything, although the princes of Jiangning were dissatisfied in their hearts, they would not say anything. Xu Ruyu often did unexpected things, and it was in vain for the princes of Jiangning to completely include Xu Ruyu in their minds.

The envoys of various families gathered in Jiangning, wanting to see Jiangning's reality.

Wei Yu led the army of Fengling's camp to Huzhou and Lanling, but Zhu Kunda sent Jiangning. In particular, Jiangning blocked the border passages in the areas of Guangling and Baishi, and the relationship with Wanling deteriorated again to the brink of war, which made Zhu Kunda have many extravagant thoughts. Jiang Ning and Wanling were at odds with the Wanling Chen clan for some unknown reason, so it was possible to adopt softer means of appeasing the families in Yue County rather than a single-minded conquest. With the same mind as Zhu Kunda, naturally there are Zhu Baiyan, Fan Che and so on.

In addition to the above three, the remnants of the old Nanping Dynasty, the Jiangjin Yi clan, the Qinghe Li clan, the Nanyang Fu clan, the Jingxiang Huo clan and other forces also sent their own envoys. Jiangning and Jingnan are only separated by Huaiyu Mountain, and Yuan Longyi personally arrived in Jiangning on behalf of the Jingnan Family Alliance to test Jiangning's possible policies towards Jingnan in recent years.

Jingxiang Huo's invasion of Jing County created the prestige of Yuan Longyi. The poor mountains and bad waters in Jingnan brought Yuan Longyi's tactics of scattering and gathering guerrillas to the extreme, and Rong Yanmen's restoration strategy of first conquering the west and then looking eastward was naturally taking into account the factors of Yuan Longyi in Jingnan.

Yuan Longyi usually haunts the mountains and wilderness, and rarely sets foot in the land outside Jingnan, so outsiders are not familiar with Yuan Longyi. Yuan Longyi personally visited Jiangning, and even Xu Ruyu couldn't hide his surprise in his heart.

The Jingnan Family Alliance is located between Nanping and Jiangning, especially Jiangning and Nanping are competing in Jingbei, and the Jingnan forces are very important, and Yuan Longyi probably wants something on this trip.

Before the canon, Xu Ruyu didn't mean to see the envoys of any family, and even the banquet was accompanied by the officials of the Honglu Division led by Mei Tierui, Shao Haitang and others.

Yuan Longyi arrived in Jiangning one day after Chen Ang, and after arriving in Jiangning, he submitted a letter to Honglu Si and asked to meet Xu Ruyu.
