After Xiao He returned to Xiao's Mansion, he saw Mu Yunjing playing with Du Nanzhu in the courtyard, one big and one small, one tall and one short, like a brother and sister frolicking.

Xiao He stood on the side and watched for a while.

Nanzhu ran in front, her voice crisp, as pleasant as a little lark in the forest, "Brother Yunjing!" Can't catch up! Can't catch up! Dressed in a pink skirt, the chubby little hand held the emerald pink and white ribbon, waving a beautiful arc in the air. The string of pearls on her ankles beats and collides with her movements to create a beautiful rhythm.

And Mu Yunjing, who followed her, was dressed in a narrow-sleeved brocade robe, with green silk tied high behind her head, and a hosta across the crown of white jade hair, obviously with the temperament of a noble son, but her face showed a bit of a young man's naughty smile, but she did not lose her handsome and beautiful demeanor.

Xiao He could understand his feelings of being close to Nanzhu at this time.

From her own point of view, she has concealed her identity for many years, she does not dare to get close to her peers, she does not dare to play and play, and even a comfortable long smile has become a bit of luxury. Because there is hatred hidden in the heart, how can it be easy?

She has only experienced five years of such days, but it is like half a lifetime, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a torture of suffering. These days have worn out her girlish heart and eaten away her innocence, and now she is only left with an empty body hiding her heart of revenge.

The inside has been decayed into an invisible and huge void, and when the wind blows, it is an endless desolation and loneliness, as if it can never be filled.

And Mu Yunjing, his life experience is even more bleak, his father is the crown prince, only one step away from the supreme in the world, but he died mysteriously, he was poisoned in his mother's womb, and he lost his confidence before he understood people, and since then he has been exiled and placed under house arrest.

He has never tasted family affection, nor has he ever enjoyed friendship. He has not passed, and he is also confused about the road ahead.

He has no less hatred in his heart than he does.

Mu Yunjing only realized that Xiao He had returned, and when he looked up at her, his smile had faded a lot, and he had lost his youthful youthfulness and publicity, and was a little more calm and gentle. He walked over in a few steps and stood in front of Xiao He, "You're back." ”

When Xiao He talked to him, he always liked to call himself his second brother, but he never heard him call his second brother, and she didn't care.

Seeing that his forehead was covered with light sweat at this time, she reached out and pulled up her sleeve to help him wipe it, "It looks like you are a few years younger than Nanzhu." Mu Yunjing smiled slightly, and grabbed her hand to wipe her sweat for herself, "It's okay, don't stain your sleeves." ”

Du Nanzhu saw the picture of Mu Yunjing and Xiao He standing on the side, his eyes flashed with a strange luster, his brows twitched slightly, and he raised his voice, "Brother Yunjing, come and play with me!" ”

Mu Yunjingfang turned around, grinned, and responded, "Okay." ”

Hearing him respond to himself, Du Nanzhu laughed again.

Xiao He stood under the porch, shook his head and said with a smile: "You can just play for a while, remember to go into the house for dinner." After dinner, Nanzhu has to rest early, don't be too crazy. She explained in detail, like the head of the family, and she had to worry about everything.

After entering the house, I saw Xiao Shi talking to Hongzhu.

Xiao Shi saw Xiao He come in, so he nodded to her from a distance as a greeting, turned around and went out.

Xiao He looked at his back and said to Hongzhu: "You see that this miscellaneous servant has a really big temper, when did I provoke him again?" ”

Hongzhu handed her the things in his hand to her, "Xiao Shi, he really plans for Childe, look, he gave me two cheats to come over, let me practice first, and then teach Childe." ”

Xiao He took a look at it, it was "Wuji Internal Strength Heart Method" and "Point Acupoints". She seems to have heard of the previous book, which is a Taoist book of introductory mental methods, like Hongzhu, who does not know any martial arts, and it is indeed beneficial to practice some internal martial arts.

As for the acupoints, she had wanted to learn them before, but she couldn't find a suitable master. This kind of kung fu has always been passed from father to son, mother to daughter or husband to wife, after all, the moves in it, coupled with the memory of body acupuncture points, are not familiar with people close to them, and it is difficult to teach.

Hongzhu has been a doctor since he was a child, and he already knows the acupuncture points of the human body, and then learns this acupoint kung fu, plus internal cultivation. In a few years, even if she is allowed to go out alone, Xiao He will not be at ease.

"Heh, Xiao Shi is good for you." Xiao He quipped.

"Where is Childe, he obviously explained that I will teach you after I learn it. It's just that just by clicking the acupoints, I can save the effort of memorizing the acupuncture point map than ordinary people, and he is also careful. Hongzhu corrected her and praised Xiao Shi again.

"Now I don't have time to memorize so many hundred and eighty acupuncture points, so I have to work hard to learn Hongzhu first." Xiao He gave Hongzhu a deep suck, which frightened Hongzhu into taking a step back and avoiding her salute.

"What's the hard work, the matter of the son is the matter of the red bead. There is no need for such a big gift, it is really going to torment the slave and the maid. Hongzhu said a little seriously.

Xiao He couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to hug Hongzhu, looking like a swinger, "It's still Hongzhu that is the best for me." ”

"Ahem......" Someone behind him coughed dryly, Xiao He looked back, Han Dong didn't know when he stood at the door, and was in a dilemma by the two of them's hugging posture, so he had to pretend to cough as a reminder.

Hongzhu hurriedly stood aside, her face was not without embarrassment, she really looked like a little daughter-in-law who had been molested.

Xiao He looked at Han Dong, "What's the matter?" ”

"Childe, when the army returns to the city this time, can you bring a few of our brothers?" Han Dong was concerned about the old master Ji Changge, although he knew that this was a bit embarrassing, but he believed that Xiao He was not a stingy person and would not mind this trivial matter.

Sure enough, Xiao He smiled, "What's so difficult about this." ”

On the day when the northern army returned to Korea, the sun was shining and the sun was shining.

Xiao He and Shen Suhang led a group of officials to welcome the triumphant return of the soldiers on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time welcomed Daduo, the leader of the Chishui Department. Behind them, in addition to their entourage, there were also many ordinary people who came to watch. Walking inside, after passing the city gate, both sides of the road on Suzaku Street were also crowded with people, Jingzhao Yin Mansion dispatched four or five teams of men and horses to maintain order, and another five or six teams stood by outside the Zijin City.

These onlookers, in addition to celebrating my Dayin's victory with joy, are more to see what the barbarians who surrendered to Saibei look like.

Ji Changge, Duan Heng, the two of them were on the horse, and they saw the dense crowd at the city gate from afar, and they had their own feelings in their hearts.

Ji Changge didn't expect that he would be able to reinstate so soon and receive the coach's seal. This experience, with its ups and downs, may make him unforgettable in his life. He has a lot of reflections in the army, and those who want to achieve things can do it if they don't have the ambition to do it, and the so-called seven points are in people and three points in the sky are also falsehoods.

What is Heaven? It's just some fortune, the surrounding things, and the impact of looking at the overall situation, which is heavenly, but it adds some mystery to this statement. In fact, those who have succeeded should still be very human.

It's just that in addition to being fully prepared for this matter, there are other factors that need to be considered, and none of them can be counted.

If we have to subdivide it, I am afraid that we should say that three points are in oneself and seven points are in others. You need to do 10 points first, and then push it to people, but in fact, it is to calculate people's hearts. In the past, Ji Changge was disdainful of these things, but after this battle, he had to bow his head.

The official is in the second mouth, and his own speech is one of them, and he must also block the mouth of others and turn it to his own use.

In the past, he only knew that he was in his position to do his job, did his duty wholeheartedly, blindly went straight, and did not turn around, so he suffered losses repeatedly, was plotted by others, was framed by others, and was imprisoned. He never worried about himself, but he just delayed the business, and he was really unwilling to indulge in the ministers.

From now on, Ji Changge is no longer the previous Ji Changge, the smile on his face is more calm, and more calm.

And Duan Heng was the first to see Xiao He in court clothes at the front of the crowd.

He had expected that this return to the court, and that he would welcome the leader of Chishui, Mu Churan would definitely appoint more than two ministers to be in charge of the ceremony. One of them is Xiao He, so it's no surprise.

After more than a month, he saw Xiao He's face like jade, his eyes like stars, a little familiar, a little kind, and a little nostalgic. He was on his horse, some distance from the city gate, but his mind was like wings, and he wanted to fly to him.

It's just that the brotherhood is deep, and he hides it from himself, and he never wants to admit more.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the figure gradually became clearer, but Duan Heng's heart became more and more chaotic.

The veteran Yan Qi followed by the majestic, on the horse majestic posture did not lose the first two rising stars, although his body injury has not healed, but his face with a smile, looking up at the gate of the imperial capital, full of gratification, this expedition will eventually live up to the prestige, triumphantly returned, but also live up to the reputation of the family, add glory to the Yan Gate.

Then there was Zhou Nanjia, who was demoted, he was born with the fifty boards, almost blossomed, lay in the camp for so long, took medicine every day, and now he is only slightly better, but he can't ride a horse or walk. Ji Changge still took care of him, so the guards of the Zhou Mansion dragged the cart and let him half-lie on it and walked this way.

Thinking that his Zhou family has been an official for generations, his father Zhou Yuan is a general, who has been on the border for the Son of Heaven for many years, and has made great military achievements. When he joined the army as a young man, he also had the hopes of his family, and he was promoted to a general early, and he was also envious of everyone. He boasted that he was familiar with military books, and in his early years, he had experienced several battles with other generals, but none of them were as unlucky as this one.

first lost many battles, and was hit by Ji Changge to break his good deeds, and almost lost his life, and the entire military camp knew that he was punished by Ji Changge for robbing a female prisoner. As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and ugly things go thousands of miles.

When he entered the city gate, he heard the voices of people on both sides, which made him feel even more aggrieved. He entered the city with this appearance, and now I am afraid that everyone in the entire imperial capital will know that he is a dignified major general of the Zhou Mansion who was beaten in the barracks, lost his official position, and was punished? In this expedition, the military merit was not obtained, but it was bad luck. It's all to blame for that Ji Changge!

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the black wind of the team's first season Changge, and couldn't see more, only a ponytail and half a pony's buttocks. He muttered fiercely in his heart, I have written down this hatred, Ji Changge, one day you will regret that you did not kill Lao Tzu that day, and leave Lao Tzu's life, and let you pay it back a hundred times!
