Last night's wine was long and fragrant.

Meng Yining drank too much and babbled a lot of words, from the delicious fresh fish porridge on the street to his distant majestic posture when he first met King Xia. The world is in the north and the earth, and the words have been for eight years.

In the long sky, Jing Chi came with a white horse, with a golden crown and tied his hair, and his eyes looked at Gu Zi'an and Meng Yining through the wind and sand blown by the breeze. Zhang Jiu and the attendants waited quietly beside them, saying goodbye at this moment, and they didn't know when they would see each other again. They were young when they came, and now when they leave, their eyes reveal a hint of will.

Eight years have passed, and a lot of effort has been spent here, and now it's finally time for the sword to be unsheathed.

Gu Zi'an stepped forward and bid farewell to Jingchi: "Your Highness, I have always taken care of you, and I keep it in mind." We'll see you later. ”

"There will be a date later."

Meng Yining bowed his hand: "Your Highness, see you in the future." There was gratitude and a hint of melancholy in her voice.

Jing Chi looked into her eyes, and there was no longer the timid shadow he had when he first entered the palace. Under the sun, I found that she was so heroic and heroic. The ferret collar, the twilight robe, lined with graceful clouds, and a pegasus peach blossom. There is also a small velvet rabbit strung with gold thread around his waist. What Jing Chi didn't expect was that a year later, Meng Yining would appear in front of him again with an iron armor and silver spear, and a frost spear and snow sword. But that's all for later.

The legation of more than 100 people rode the tall horses of Beiyang, and carried their sons on the way back to China, as they had come.

And General Gai of Great Xia led 8,000 soldiers and horses to escort along the road.

Jing Chi looked at the mighty team and the thin back slowly disappearing into the wind, a little stunned. He rode back home, unconsciously went up to the attic, and continued to watch the team disappear into the distance. And Zhang Jiu followed behind him and looked at it abruptly.

King Rui's Mansion is about to become the Prince Mansion of Great Xia, and when it is deserted, it will be as deserted as usual, and the excitement will also be caused by the position of the prince. It's just that in the courtyard, Meng Yining is missing the figure of Meng Yining protruding from left to right, flying up and down.

After walking out of ten miles, Meng Yining turned around and looked at the gray city wall of Chengping City from afar, and the orange banner of Daxia was wafting in the sky. The sound of horses' hooves clattering is crisp and bright. On the mountain path, crows and colorful finches stood on the branches, and their yellow eyes swept over the team.

"Until now, I feel like I'm going back to Beiyang." Meng Yining said, sighing.

Le Yi smiled on the side: "When you pass by Lingfeng Mountain and see your sister, don't you feel like a world away?" He squinted and smiled, the golden jade belt around his waist glistening. Zhiduoxing straddled his shoulder, Le Yi broke a small biscuit, and the little monkey sent one to his mouth. Along the way, I actually ate a lot.

Speaking of her sister, Meng Yining was a little twisted, and now she hasn't seen her for ten years, and she doesn't know what she has become. Thinking about it carefully, the eldest sister is only one year younger than Gu Zi'an, and she doesn't know if she is taller than herself?

The day before yesterday, the teacher Zhang Ji and Gu Zi'an had the same idea - they could not directly enter Yangshang, the capital of Beiyang, from Great Xia. The current Queen Zhao of Great Xia and her brother control the government and want to make their son the king of Beiyang. Yangshang is heavily guarded, all of them are Queen Zhao's people, and it will be more auspicious to rush in.

To win the world, first win the hearts of the people.

The common people do not care who is in power, as long as they can live a good life, they will be content. Several people decided to start with Zhaojun, where Zhang Ji's students were stationed, to quickly regain the hearts of the people and expand their power, if they confronted the Zhao family head-on, they would not be afraid. Although the entire route back to China is more than twice as long as going straight to the capital, first, you can care about the situation, call on the available troops, and second, think about countermeasures, and on the way, Meng Yining can also go to Lingfeng Mountain.

Lingfeng Mountain and Zhaojun are both the handover of Beiyang and Yanrong, if they are raided by Yanrong's rear, the consequences will be unimaginable. However, now that there is the escort of the Great Xia army, Yan Rong has been frustrated in Great Xia many times, and unless they openly declare war, they have some scruples. Of course, Zhang Ji still had a hand behind him, and he sent messengers to rush to Wei, a country sandwiched between the Great Xia Plain and the Yanrong Mountains.

"What will Beiyang look like?" The little bug's younger brother, Hongyue, had a loud voice. Because the sister and brother did not have names, Le Yi gave the two of them a name next to the word worm, sister Hongxi, younger brother Hongyue.

Streams and mountains, a beautiful view.

The little bug Hongxi shook his head.

Meng Yining smiled, and his memory didn't seem to be so clear: "There, there are green mountains and green waters, endless grasslands and deserts. The girls will ride horses and shoot arrows, and the young men will build up stones to roast mutton and drink heavily with ** wine. It is a nation that can fight well, and the capital city of Yangshang was once a prosperous scene in the world......"

Gu Zi'an also interjected, saying that there is a sea next to the sun, and in the hot summer, the father and the prince will go to live in the palace, the sun sets in Changhong, and the stars are brilliant.

Suddenly, a deep voice was heard behind several people.

"Gu Shizi, walk along this mountain, there is a stockade in front, we can camp there at night." Meng Yining looked back and saw that it was General Gai of Great Xia. The man was no more than forty years old, with a short black beard, a square face, a weathered face, and a deep scar at the corner of his eye. He was tall and straight, wearing armor and a gaze like a sword. Meng Yining stood next to him, like a white rabbit standing next to a black bear.

And General Gai is also the general favored by King Xia. If King Xia wants to monitor them and protect them, he naturally has to send a trustworthy person.

General Gai's armor is engraved with a warhawk with wings outstretched, and the unit under his command is also called the Eagle Falcon Army. It is an experienced and invincible unit. Meng Yining once saw their drills in Great Xia, horse shooting, foot shooting, bowing, and dancing knives were full of posture. The army has strict laws and disciplines, and rewards and punishments are clear. For a moment, Meng Yining seemed to recall the glory of his father's Haw Par Battalion.

"If you go north and cross the river, you will reach the village. The villagers are simple people who fled to this deserted hilly area a hundred years ago to escape the war. "General Gai has traveled to every inch of Daxia, and he knows a little about the customs and customs.

Le Yi smiled: "Dare to ask the general, why you can understand a small village so clearly." ”

General Gai said: "It's not a secret, this place specializes in bamboo girls." ”

"Oh? What is that? ”

He quipped: "Bamboo Niang is not a woman, it is a kind of wine." This piece of bamboo is hardy and has a special fragrance. Glutinous rice and koji are poured into the spring bamboo, then wrapped in mud and buried in the soil. When the rain and snow melt in the spring of the following year, it will be dug up again. That taste...... There should be ...... in heaven But I don't drink alcohol on the march, so you can try it. ”

Meng Yining was slightly stunned when she heard this, and nodded with a smile.
