Why Xiao Yue made the decision to exchange 20,000 prisoners of war for him to return to China, Xie Youyi didn't know, but when he heard the news, he only felt that it was expected and unreasonable.

This year is the seventeenth year of Taiqing in Nanzhao, and it is also the year of Zhengding in Northern Yan, and he is twenty-eight years old this year.

After half a year in the Northern Dynasty, he has more and more likes for the Ninth Princess, but he also has more and more concerns, and people have weaknesses when they are concerned, which is really fatal for a person like him who is on the battlefield.

His mood was so conflicted, and while he eagerly counted the days when he would leave to go back, he also looked forward to how good it would be to have twenty-four hours in a day. It is impossible to tell whether this mood is sad or happy, but it tears him to silence day by day.

He couldn't help but think about what would happen when he went back.

Daddy knew that he was still alive, and she didn't know how happy she was to be. The second brother is no longer here, the third brother has always been wandering, he has to go back, the Xie family needs him.

He couldn't help but go back.

But if he goes back, one day, he will face her country with a sword. In the dead of night, he could not sleep all night, his eyes open until the light of day, and he asked himself, can you trample on her country and kill her people?

He asked himself over and over again, and over and over again he couldn't give an answer.

He is so painful, what about the ninth princess? She is a heartless little girl, and nothing is worth her attention. Her sadness was only for a while, even if she asked Yuan Ke to confirm the news that he was going back, she cried a lot, and still came to him the next day to test him on the dark dishes she had made.

The ninth princess's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, it can't be said to be dark cuisine, he likes a few southern dishes, he just simply told her the ingredients, the method, the ninth princess groped by herself, and it was very delicious.

In terms of cooking skills, the ninth princess is indeed talented.

When Helan Chenglu came over in the morning, he said that the list of soldiers returning to the Southern Dynasty had been confirmed, a total of 28,342 people, of which 651 were from the previous battle, and of these 651 people, one hundred and thirty-two were from the time of Emperor Gao.

Xie Youyi was a little surprised, the prisoners of war during the time of Emperor Gao had to be at least fifty years old, and they were still alive with such a large labor intensity?

Helan Chenglu saw his question, and before he could speak, Helan Chenglu explained, they are technical soldiers, and we have not arranged too much tiring work for them, and the youngest of them is fifty-six years old, and the oldest is seventy-one years old.

Xie You was even more surprised when he heard this, it is rare for a person to live for seventy years, let alone a man on the battlefield. He had seen Lu Xiuyi's internal statistics on the life expectancy of men in Emperor Gao's dynasty before, and the average age was only twenty-nine years old.

These people can live to be seventy years old in the Northern Dynasty, Xie Youyi doesn't know whether it is fortunate or unlucky.

Helan became a law, so our saint is not only wise and martial, but also kind and benevolent.

Yuan Ke is wise or not, Shenwu is not Shenwu, Xie Youyi doesn't know, but he knows that Yuan Ke is definitely not a kind and benevolent person. This person looks gentle-looking, but his heart is ruthless, no less than Emperor Yan Wen.

When the ninth princess came in, she was still bouncing, as if she was forever carefree, and he looked at her, hoping that she could always be happy like this.

forcibly stuffed a piece of honey cake into Xie Youyi's mouth, and the ninth princess put her hands on her cheeks and asked him, is it delicious?

He couldn't swallow it, and he had to force it.

After a long silence, he said, "Rui'er, I'm going back next month." ”

The ninth princess was originally happy, but when she heard this, her face fell in an instant, and in an instant, she smiled like a flower again, and counted with her fingers, "It's okay, it's only the fifteenth now, Dalantai divined the hexagram yesterday, and you won't leave until the eighth day of the first month of next month, and we can stay together for many days." ”

When divining the hexagram, she hoped that Dalantai would be able to divinate on the last day of March, and she was sad when the hexagram came out, but looking back, she was glad again. If Bu was on the first day of March, she wouldn't even have those eight days.

She should be glad.

She asked him over and over again, can you not go.

Again and again he was silent.

Then she stopped asking.

His stay is not something he can decide, nor is it something she can decide.

Xie Youyi looked at the delicate dim sum on the plate, and said abruptly, "Go back, you won't be able to eat Miluo crisp again." ”

The Ninth Princess picked up the book he had just read, "I won't tell you the recipe." ”

He couldn't eat it, and he would always think about her in the future.

A piece of paper fell from the book, and the ninth princess picked it up, and saw that there was a poem written on it, and she read it word by word in standard and fluent Chinese. The waves are as quiet as horizontal practice, and the scenery is not flowing, and the nostalgia is shared. Draw a boat and smile on the spring breeze. The country is very beautiful, it is not my land after all, and I ask when it will be the return year.

After reading, she said softly, "The twilight is far away, and the wanderer is sad for his hometown." I remember that you read such a poem by the Danjiang River before. You'd love to go back, don't you? ”

She wasn't around when he read the poem, how did she know?

Hearing her ask like this, he didn't know how to answer.

The Ninth Princess's tears fell unexpectedly, "We didn't have a connection, but the gods let us meet." So what brought us to our destined end? ”

This question stunned him.

What led them to their destined end? Is it a god? Why did the gods let them meet again?

On the eighth day of the first month of March, the ice and snow in Tangzhou have not disappeared, but the willows on the river embankment are green.

As soon as Xie You came out of the princess's mansion, the ninth princess finally collapsed, pulled his sleeve and cried, "You'll come back, right?" ”

As long as he said that he would come back, even if it was a lie to her, she still had thoughts, and she could count the days and hope that he would come back.

She asked him over and over again, and he watched her cry, and saw her crying so sadly, he almost broke his liver and intestines.

The reins of the horse were held in his hand, and he couldn't step on them for a long time, but he didn't dare to look at her.

Yuan Ke said, "What are you crying for? He'll always come back. ”

The ninth princess looked at Yuan Ke with teary eyes, not understanding what he meant.

Xie Youyi also looked at Yuan Ke in surprise.

Yuan Ke glanced at Xie You lightly, "I said that you would come back, and you will definitely come back." ”

Xie You was wearing a blue shirt on the day he left, and when he rode away, his back was scattered and hearty.

He had never worn a blue shirt when he was in the princess's mansion, but on the day he returned, he wore a blue shirt. The first time the Ninth Princess saw him wear this color, and it was also the last time she saw him wear this color.

When more than 20,000 people walked to the Dingjiang River, the procession began to be noisy and chaotic. After crossing the Dingjiang River, they went home! Many people began to cry bitterly, and the surging river could not even cover the cry.

In the past, I went back, and now I think about it, and the rain and snow are on the way.

Braving the wind and snow, they also have to go home and go back to Nanzhao. There are four seasons like spring, birds and flowers all year round, and there are their relatives there.

There are loved ones they miss day and night.

The petite and cute born by the lord of Pingliang County is probably not fluent in Chinese, and he is always sullen. Hearing the sad cry, she covered her face with a scarf and got out of the car.

The riverside was windy and snowy, and it was difficult for her to walk step by step, but she still walked to the riverside step by step.

After crossing the river, she will leave her country forever.

Seeing Xie Youyi's sad expression, she said softly, "General Xie, do you know that I am actually not afraid of going to the Southern Dynasty. I want to go back and see it for my mother. ”

"My mother, she told me many stories of the Southern Dynasty, and I know the name of every street in Gangneung City."

Her mother, Princess Jiaxi, misses her hometown, but she thinks about it year after year, and she thinks about it at dusk, and her life is over.

"My mother, she, has thought about it all her life, read it all her life, and never went back."

When Xie You heard this, he raised his arm to block the wind and snow for the county lord of Pingliang.

The two stood by the river for a long time, and when they saw that the team was about to leave again, they also turned around and prepared to get on the bus.

Unintentionally touching the purse on his waist, the sound of small fragments made him stunned, and he stood still, he opened the purse, and there was a small note inside.

Orange peel five taels shredded, two taels of fine sugar, two taels of green plums, the same research, one tael of licorice powder, five coins of sandalwood, molded into small cakes. Yesterday, the material was adjusted and a taste of angelica was added.
