In September, autumn quietly ushered in the grassland. This is the last time of the year when the water and grass are abundant and the weather is right.

When October comes, the winter will begin to be cold and snowy. At that time, the lives of ordinary Qingzhou Dazhou people who make a living by farming, doing business, etc., will not be greatly affected, but those barbarians who are still nomadic in the grassland will have a hard time.

In previous years, at this time, they would start the winter grass valley, but this year, no one dared to mention this matter among the barbarian tribes.

From June to September, in just three months, since the legendary King Qiu served as the guard of the Qingzhou border, they have been defeated and retreated, in Yan Xiuyu within a month, fought more than 50 battles in succession, the means are ruthless, after killing more than 40,000 barbarians in a row, most of the surviving barbarian tribes simply attached to the Great Zhou - anyway, the king of Qiu is the Great Zhou people, I heard that the first batch of barbarian nobles in the capital who followed the king of Qiu to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, now they are all mixing well, they are now not even dead, and they are stubbornly resisting anything.

With the autumn breeze cool for a while, most of the resistance forces on the grassland have disappeared in vain, and in their place, the Great Zhou army that came to the grassland to mine with various wintering equipment.

Metal ore is a resource that is strictly forbidden to be smelted privately in the Great Zhou, and only the army can fight against those barbarians who still roam the grassland.

The remaining barbarians continued to move north, and even some of them crossed the sea and left the land of the northern barbarians, and Yan Xiuyu was extremely idle.

Seeing that on September 27, there had been no sweep to the barbarians for three consecutive days, and the scouts who went out to probe came back to report, galloping along the road for three days, the area where the barbarians used to live was all empty, and there were credible merchants who were doing business at sea to send letters, and on the way they encountered a large number of barbarians crossing the sea, at least 30,000 people, Yan Xiuyu understood that he didn't need to worry about the affairs of the Northern Barbarians now.

Under the deployment, he will continue to guard, Yan Xiuyu rode on the black horse of his divine steed, and galloped all the way, rushing back to Yuhu City on September 30.

Yan Qingge was commanding the people to clean up the last batch of dried fruits and dried vegetables this autumn for use in the winter, when he suddenly turned around and saw Yan Xiuyu.

Yan Qingge hurriedly ran over, with an excited smile on his face: "You're back!" ”

Yan Xiuyu turned over and dismounted, didn't care about the dust on his body, and picked up Yan Qingge first: "I've lost weight again!" He felt that Yan Qingge's weight was just right when she was pregnant, and now her light hair fluttered around, which made him feel uneasy.

Yan Xiuyu hugged Yan Qingge and spun around in the air several times before putting her on the ground, holding her shoulders and walking towards home.

Yan Qingge said: "I just asked someone to send a few boxes of winter clothes to people a few days ago, but I didn't expect you to come back by yourself!" ”

"I'm afraid the people who delivered winter clothes are still on their way." Yan Xiuyu smiled heartily and asked, "What about the children?" ”

"Yan Zhen is asleep, this child sleeps a lot, doesn't cry or make trouble, and sleeps every day when he is full. Yan Shen and Wan'er went to their uncle's house, the two of them were old, and it happened that the uncle had a lot of free time this year, so he could help teach them. ”

Originally, Yan Wan'er brought a female master, but Yan Qingge did not restrain her, she believed that letting Le Yi teach Yan Wan'er would definitely be better than what the female master taught.

"How's my uncle's body?"

"Called Ouyang Shaoming to see it, said that he had to recuperate slowly, now it is better than last year, and the cough only stopped after three or two days in the autumn, in previous years, my uncle spent the winter in Yuhu City, at least for half a month."

The husband and wife chattered and talked about the recent things at home, Yan Qingge saw that there was only forsythia in the house, and he told Yan Xiuyu about Yan Shuyu.

And her uncle took the initiative, and burned her head, crushed her to ashes, and scattered it in the wasteland outside the city. She has been competitive all her life, pinching her head, killing so many people in order to climb up, and now, she has finally suffered retribution. Yan Qingge said.

"The bad guys have their own harvest, or I Qingge is the best, I will definitely grow old with me, and I will be happy for a lifetime." The two of them put their heads against their heads, sniffing each other's familiar smells at the end of their noses, and their hearts were excited!

Just when Yan Xiuyu gradually leaned his head over, he couldn't help but kiss Yan Qingge's lips, the children's words of two children and the crackling sound of running sounded at the door.

"Hurry up, it just so happens that my father is back, so let's quickly ask him and his mother to go to find his uncle and grandfather."

Yan Qingge heard that it was Yan Wan'er's voice, his face turned red, and he pushed Yan Xiuyu away: "The child is back!" ”

Yan Wan'er and Yan Shen jumped into the door, and as soon as they saw Yan Xiuyu, their eyes lit up, and the two of them rushed up together, each keeping a long leg of Yan Xiuyu: "Dad, we miss you so much." ”

"That's right, Shen'er still dreams of her father at night, Dad, Shen'er wants to ride a big horse!"

Seeing the two children making a fuss around Yan Xiuyu, Yan Qingge was helpless for a while, and asked, "Didn't you say just now that your uncle and grandfather were looking for your father and mother?" ”

Yan Wan'er stuck out her tongue: "Yes! Uncle and grandfather said that there was something important to tell my mother, let my mother pass. Anyway, my father is back, so I'll go with my mother. ”

Yan Qingge nodded to the two children: "You guys are good at home, and your father and I will come back in a while." ”

Le Yi is not the kind of person who is alarmist, since he said that there is something very important to ask Yan Qingge to come over immediately, it must be a very important matter.

Yan Qingge hurriedly arrived at the State Pastoral Mansion with Yan Xiuyu, and Yan Qingge keenly found that in front of the State Pastoral Mansion, there were more than a dozen soldiers standing at the door for the first time, although they were very kind to Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu, and they were immediately released, but they were not so good to others.

Yan Qingge hurriedly entered the door with Yan Xiuyu, and Le Yizheng sat at the table with a complicated face, looking at an official report.

"The emperor has collapsed!" Le Yi didn't wait for Yan Xiuyu and Yan Qingge to ask, so he said simply.

Yan Qingge stopped and looked at Le Yi in surprise. The emperor is gone?

Although she has always known that the emperor is a sick seedling, he has been a sick seedling since he was a child, and he has been sick for so many years, and he has only been on the throne for half a year, even at this time before Yan Qingge's rebirth, the emperor has not died!

"Come and see." Le Yi handed the official report in his hand to Yan Qingge.

Yan Qingge only looked at two lines, and he was dizzy for a while.

I saw that the official report was not an ordinary official report, but an official report with red ciphers on it, and no more than ten people could receive such an official report in the entire Great Zhou!

What is written above is not only the news that the emperor collapsed, but also that the emperor did not die normally, but was stabbed to death by Empress Yuan. Empress Yuan's suicide, Prince Zhao's palace has been completely controlled, the crown prince Yuan Jin because of his mother's immorality, cut the crown prince's throne, several officials in the court discussed, the second prince Yuan Hong inherited the throne, ascended to the treasure, and Yuan Hong's mother Shui Guifei listened to the government......

Yan Qingge was simply shocked!

Yuan Hong is Shui Ying's eldest son Yuan Bao, who was only given an official name last year.

Did the emperor die so lightly in the hands of Yuan Qianqian, who once worshiped him as a god? But think about it, Yuan Qianqian's strong character, if she can't get it, she will never give it to others, seeing that her limit is approaching, she naturally won't want to leave the emperor to other women.

It's a pity that she only cares about herself for a while, but she doesn't care about others. Not only did Yuan Jin lose the throne, but even his own family was implicated. Yan Qingge had heard before that Yuan Qianqian's personality would be so bad, on the one hand, because of genetics, and on the other hand, because her mother doted on her excessively, knowing that her daughter would make such a big mistake, Prince Zhao and Princess Zhao must have regretted it.

"Now that the situation in Beijing is stable, presumably His Royal Highness Yuan Hong has ascended the throne." Le Yi's eyes were deep and he looked at Yan Qingge: "Shui Guifei Niangniang and you are close friends, when Shui Guifei Niangniang becomes the queen mother, you can go back to the capital." ”

Yan Qingge was stunned, she lived well in Qingzhou, so she didn't want to go back to the capital. This place was bitterly cold at first, but the sky was high and the earth was vast, and even people's hearts seemed to be much broader.

She just learned to cook dried vegetables and preserved fruits with the military generals and wives she met here, and also made a jar of delicious sauce together, preparing for a warm winter, roasting sheep and eating cow hot kang every day, and even Yan Xiuyu came back to accompany her, and she didn't want to go back to the capital at all.

The longer you are away from the capital, the more prosperous it is, the more it is like a vague dream that you can't grasp, a shallow poke will be broken, life seems to float on the clouds of smoke every day, there is no sense of stability, and there are all kinds of impetuousness and worries all the time. In comparison, it is still a slightly rougher life like Qingzhou, which makes people happier and more alive.

Le Yi smiled and said to the stunned Yan Qing; "Silly boy! Do you really want to stay? He was able to understand some of Yan Qingge's thoughts.

His niece has never been a person who covets glory and wealth. Le Yi's heart turned a few times, and he had already thought of some ways for Yan Qingge.

After thinking about it, he said: "The new emperor ascended the throne, Qingzhou Jingping, Brother Yu has a prestige in Qingzhou, I estimate that I won't stay in Qingzhou for a long time, I have received a letter from a friend in the DPRK and China, the DPRK wants to worship me as a minister, and I will leave for Beijing next month." When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to take over the position of Qingzhou pastor by Brother Yu! Otherwise, Brother Yu still has to go back and forth between the barracks and Qingzhou, and you will also work hard. ”

Yan Qingge heard Le Yi say this, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, will the emperor agree?" ”

"There is no emperor now!" Le Yi said meaningfully: "Yes, it's just the water concubine who listens to the government." You say, will she say yes? ”

Yan Qingge nodded, Shui Ying would definitely agree.

She couldn't help but clench Yan Xiuyu's hand.

At this time, a clear voice came from a little maid outside the door: "It's snowing!" ”

This year's snow came a little early. But Yan Qingge's heart was full of stability.

Turning her head, she looked at Yan Xiuyu. From now on, I wish the years are quiet, and you will be eternal!
