Lan Jing'an rested in Jiangling for a few days, and under the guidance of Feng Yan and Jiang Xianlin, he walked through many old Jiangling sites and listened to them tell many stories of the past. At the same time, Lan Jing'an also pays attention to the news in Qingzhou.

Xiao Qingyun hurried up, and it only took six days to rush back to Linjiang from Xiangyang, and immediately commanded the battle after returning. At present, Xiao Qingyun has 100,000 soldiers and horses in Linjiang, although Zhao Hu has a total of 120,000 troops in Jizhou and Yanzhou plus the newly annexed Pingyuan County, but the two sides are no longer in the situation where the disparity in strength was at the beginning. Moreover, Xiao Qingyun occupies Linjiang, has food and weapons, but the food of Zhao Hu's army has to be transferred from afar, in this regard, in fact, Xiao Qingyun's cadre army has a certain advantage.

Xiao Qingyun decided to leave 10,000 people to guard Lincheng, and 10,000 people were allocated to Zheng Rong, who was attacking Dingwang, and he personally led 80,000 people to set out from Linjiang and attack Licheng as soon as possible, so as to defeat Zhao Hu in Jinan County. When Lan Jing'an arrived in Jiangling, Xiao Qingyun was leading the army and Zhao Hu to fight in Jinan County, and he had no time to take care of anything else.

But no matter how busy Xiao Qingyun was, he still insisted on writing a letter to Lan Jing'an every day, leaving all his thoughts about her on the paper, and asking the scout to bring the letter to her while transmitting the battle situation. And Lan Jing'an also wrote a letter to Xiao Qingyun every night, telling him what he saw and thought about every day. Although the biography of the two of them was not so timely, they finally quenched their thirst for lovesickness.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the first day of Lan Jing'an's seventeenth birthday. She had just washed up in the morning when she heard Bi Luan smile and say that the person who gave her a birthday gift had arrived. Since Lan Jing'an was going to enter the Sacred Mountain on the second day, she was not surprised that others gave her a birthday gift in advance, but she was curious who came to give her the gift so early. Bi Luan smiled and didn't tell her, her mysterious attitude made Lan Jing'an even more curious. She changed into a modest winter coat and went to the front yard full of curiosity.

The leaves of the sycamore trees in the front yard have fallen, and this year's winter snow has not yet fallen, and the yard is bare. From a distance, she saw a long man in white standing in the center with his back to her, and a large box beside him. As she approached, the man heard the movement and turned around, revealing a big smile.

Lan Jing'an's eyes lit up when he saw the man's face, and he trotted into the hall, and shouted to the man happily: "Big brother! Bai Qingfeng looked at the lively appearance of the former third sister, and felt very relieved in his heart. Lan Jing'an hadn't seen Bai Qingfeng for about three years, and although the relationship between the two of them was not as good as her and Bai Qingchen's, it was much closer than the other brothers.

Bai Mingqi, the second master of the Bai Mansion, only had three children, and the eldest daughter Bai Yiqing was the one who had the best relationship with her among all the cousins of Lan Jing'an. At that time, she was still pregnant with a child in her belly, but her daughter in Yiyongbo's mansion was only six years old, and she had no mother. Her husband, Jun Yiyong, was killed because he couldn't accept his beloved wife, and chose to become a monk in sadness.

And Bai Qingfeng, as Bai Mingqi's eldest son, followed Bai Mingqi to do business in the south very early, and he had very little time in Yonghua City. In addition, he is seven years older than Lan Jing'an, and the intersection between the two is usually not much.

But at that time, Bai Mingqi loved this niece who was far away in Baiyuguan, and often gave her a little gift from the south. It's just that he is busy with affairs, and he usually lets his son do the work for him when he chooses gifts, so Bai Qingfeng knows his cousin's preferences well. In addition, the relationship between Bai Qingfeng and Xiao Qingyun has always been very good, so Lan Jingan also likes this big brother very much.

After the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was punished by Emperor Wei of the Nine Clans, Bai Qingfeng, as the only descendant of the Bai Mansion, received special courtesy from Xiao Qingyun, and still called him the eldest brother in front of everyone, and recognized him as a brother with a different surname. Bai Qingfeng always respectfully called Xiao Qingyun as the main in front of people, but in private, he couldn't resist Xiao Qingyun's brotherly feelings, and still called him his second brother.

Lan Jing'an and Xiao Qingyun have the same feelings, and after losing Baifu, Dayong's home, they feel very sorry for this brother, and at the same time, they feel extremely sorry. She thinks that Bai Qingfeng is her only brother now, and he is also the only person left in Dayong who is indeed related to her, so she is close to Bai Qingfeng.

Lan Jing'an saw Bai Qingfeng, as if she had become the little girl pestering her eldest brother for a gift, and asked him with a raised face and lively: "Big brother, why are you here?" I was so pleasantly surprised! ”

Bai Qingfeng looked at the woman who was already up to his ear, and he couldn't recognize this former third sister. The last time we met, she was just reaching her chest, and her eyebrows and eyes hadn't grown. Now it seems to be a delicate flower, and the bright smile makes people can't take their eyes off it. He remembered Xiao Qingyun's envious and helpless gaze before leaving, and couldn't help but smile.

Bai Qingfeng's voice was very beautiful, but his words touched Lan Jing'an's heart more than his voice: "I was entrusted by someone to give you a birthday gift." The war in Qingzhou is at a critical juncture, and he can't leave, so let me take a trip. He said I was his first birthday. I wonder if you're still happy with this gift? ”

Although Bai Qingfeng didn't name him, Lan Jing'an immediately knew that this was arranged by Brother Qingyun. Xiao Qingyun knew that she also wanted to meet Bai Qingfeng, so she deliberately invited Bai Qingfeng to go when she was the busiest, just to make her happy. Lan Jing'an smiled on his face, and kept nodding and saying, "Satisfied!" Satisfied! Seeing Big Brother is the best gift. ”

Lan Jing'an had a rare dog leg, invited Bai Qingfeng to take a seat, personally made tea for him, and even a big brother, shouting affectionately. So much so that Jiang Xianlin, who later entered the hall, couldn't bear to look directly when he saw Lan Jing'an's appearance, Xiao Si Ming didn't have the slightest bit of Si Ming's demeanor, but it was about the same as a few years old little girl.

Bai Qingfeng knew that this was a projection of Lan Jing'an's emotions after she lost all her family, and she couldn't wait to put all the things she thought she owed Bai Mansion back on him alone. And she has no siblings, and having such a big brother is very important to her emotionally. So Bai Qingfeng didn't stop her. Similarly, he had similar feelings, and now he favored Lan Jing'an as much as his own sister.

The two chatted intimately for a long time, and Bai Qingfeng didn't have time to tell Jiang Xianlin about Jiang Yutang's current situation. It wasn't until Bai Qingfeng opened the big wooden box for Lan Jing'an, and Lan Jing'an ran over and buried his head in the box in surprise and sourness, that Bai Qingfeng had time to chat with Jiang Xianlin.

That big wooden box was the second gift Xiao Qingyun gave her, and it was the thing she packed when she planned to leave Yonghua City. This time, Bai Qingfeng deliberately detoured to Jinling and fetched it for her. This box was originally her cherished things, especially after the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion ceased to exist, the things inside were extremely precious, and each item had a special commemorative significance for Lan Jing'an.

The first thing Lan Jing'an saw was the bow that Bai Mingxi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, gave her when she was in time, and the big bow was lying there quietly, next to it was the box that the Li family gave her that contained Lan Shu's hexagram paper. Her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but think of her days in Baifu.

She really felt that these two gifts from Brother Qingyun were in her heart, and she was also very grateful to Bai Qingfeng for taking this trip for her in her busy schedule. She felt that even though she had a little regret not having Brother Qingyun by her side on this birthday, she was really happy now.
