It's Chinese New Year's Eve.

The sound of firecrackers comes and goes, and in the entire Bianjing City, except for the slightly less firecrackers in the palace, every household outside will set off a string of firecrackers before midnight today.

At noon, everyone just ate casually, and Chen Letian discussed with Qin Tieniu about Li Xuan'er's safety for most of the day.

Now Qin Tieniu has four groups of escorts with a total of twenty people, these people are all pure martial artists, and none of them are cultivators. Qin Tieniu meant that two groups of guards were set aside to follow Li Xuan'er, and they took turns to protect day and night at twelve o'clock.

What Chen Letian was worried about was that these guards were not cultivators, not even at least the Spring Realm, and if they really had to encounter tricky masters, these people would basically not be able to do anything.

Qin Tieniu said, in our Bianjing City, it seems that there are spring realm cultivators everywhere, but this is not the case outside, in a state and a county, it is rare to have two or three spring realms, not to mention that if there is a summer realm, it is a master among masters.

Moreover, Li Xuan'er is in Shudi, under normal circumstances, she will not provoke cultivators. It's nothing more than some ordinary small conflicts with some ordinary people, and these ten guards are enough.

Chen Letian was still worried, Qin Tieniu thought about it, and thought of another way. Saying that, send ten more people to keep walking back and forth between Shu and the capital. They have only one task, to keep passing on Li Xuan'er's situation in Shudi. The rotation does not stop, just like that, ten people, distributed between Shu and the capital, basically one person every two hundred miles, set up a point. Once a month, the flow of personnel is changed, otherwise if there is a problem with one or two of them, resulting in an incorrect source, it will be troublesome, so that the flow will increase a lot.

The plan had been decided, and Qin Tieniu immediately picked two groups of people who were relatively more astute. Let them leave for Xishu now.

Chen Letian carried the map given to him by the general, took it out at the moment, and marked a few points on it.

Maps are very rare, and only in the military are there relatively more maps.

And in general, it is difficult for ordinary people to get.

Because Chen Letian is the confidant of the general, he gave him a map and asked him to study it hard, and it is best to be able to recite the important places on the map without taking it out within three years.

Chen Letian only memorizes half of it now, so he usually carries it with him and takes it out to remember when he has time. Now take it out, spread it flat on the table, and watch it with Qin Tieniu.

This is the first time Qin Tieniu has looked at the map, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that it would be nice if he could have a copy of this thing.

Chen Letian almost put his face on the table when he saw Qin Tieniu, and said with a smile: "Just go back and find someone to draw another copy." ”

Qin Tieniu was very happy.

From Bianjing City to Shudi, more than 2,000 miles.

Qin Tieniu drew a simple map, telling them where they were, as well as the time and method of changing guards.

Everyone knows that this matter is about the lady of the proprietor, and it is naturally a hundred hearts.

After all this, it is almost dark, and it is time for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The guys are all put home.

But even so, there are still many people who eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

In the afternoon, Li Tong, Chen Letian, Li Xuan'er, Li Jin and Li Yin, Qin Tieniu, Lao Wu Qiu Xing'an, Yang Yueshan's housekeeper, An Shi, Hu Jiaoxi, these people all came one after another.

Chen Letian was also happy to see that all these people he invited had come. People like An Shi and Hu Jiaoxi, who are big names no matter where they are placed, can deign to come to his student's house for New Year's dinner, this kind of glory is not at all touched by ordinary people.

An Shi and Hu Jiaoxi are naturally seated, where do Li Jin and Li Yin dare to sit, listening to Chen Letian's introduction, except for Chen Letian himself, there are five people and six people sitting there, and everyone else stands up.

As soon as these people heard that these two people were actually the famous Grandmaster An and the chief instructor of Qingtian Pavilion Likehu, it would be good if they didn't kneel.

Seeing them like this, Chen Letian said: "Everyone is gathered together today because of me, what are you afraid of, sit down, no matter how high or low your status is, everyone is the same today." They are all my seniors, teachers, relatives and friends. ”

An Shi, who has always been kind to him, said: "Lotte is right, everyone sits, don't be restrained." ”

Then everyone quickly finished eating in an extremely strange atmosphere, and then these people retired one after another, and there was only An Shihu on the table to teach Chen Letian, and there was Li Tong, who was used to going to the academy and didn't feel trembling in his heart.

Chen Letian sighed helplessly and looked at Li Daodao: "It's really embarrassing, everyone is too scared." ”

An Shi smiled: "The housekeeper of the Yang Yueshan family seems to be also a Spring Realm cultivator. ”

Chen Letian said: "I have already seen it, I heard Yang Yueshan say that the housekeeper's spring realm has been in the summer realm for decades, and he has not been able to enter the summer realm, and it is estimated that there is no hope in this life." But it's not bad, an ordinary person who was born poor and has no way out, can reach the spring realm is already considered a glorious ancestor. ”

Hu Jiaoxi suddenly said: "Listening to your tone, you are much more glorious than that housekeeper." ”

"Of course. Chen Letian said subconsciously, but then felt that something was wrong, Hu Jiaoxi didn't like bragging students the most, so he hurriedly added: "I mean, in their Liang Kingdom, in that environment, it is very difficult to reach the spring realm. I'm different from him, our Da Song, everyone who wants to work hard can find a way, and every talented person will not waste it, so I am in the spring realm today, and it won't take long to be in the summer realm, which is inevitable. My progress is traceable and can be replicated, and it is a kind of power that I have as a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, which is not enjoyed by the people of the Liang Kingdom. ”

Hu Jiaoxi listened to Chen Letian's words, nodded and said: "What you said has some truth, yes, it seems that there is no stagnation these days." ”

Chen Letian smiled, added tea to Hu Jiaoxi's teacup, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was so dangerous, he was almost beaten by Hu Jiaoxi again.

An Shi smiled on the side, An Shi's heart was like a mirror, Chen Letian, this kid, has always been extremely confident, and he can say such humble words, just for you to teach him not to beat him.

Poor Hu Jiaoxi is still kept in the dark, and even feels that Chen Letian has improved a lot these days.

Li Tong suddenly said: "What Lotte said makes sense, the reason why our Great Song can be so strong is that it is strong in talents." Talent is something that needs to be cultivated, not that it is born with it. Even if some people have different talents, if no one cultivates them later, they will not be able to become talents. The most critical point of this vitality is that as long as you want to work hard, you will work hard, there will definitely be results, of course, no matter which way it is, it will never be possible for all people who take this road to walk through, but we try to reduce this loss. ”

When An Shi and Hu Jiaoxi heard Li Tong's words, they couldn't help but nod their heads, thinking in their hearts that Li Tong was still very knowledgeable.

In fact, there are many connections between the General's Mansion and the Academy, and the generals are rarely in the capital, and many times, the connection with the Academy is completed by Li Tong.

Therefore, Li Tong and Master An and other great masters also meet often.

But today, Li Tong was able to say these words, which made An Shi's impression of Li Tong improve a lot.

Chen Letian said: "Master Hu, I like to chat with Li Tong, although he is so old and has not yet married, his knowledge is still not shallow." ”

What does it have to do with being old and having shallow knowledge? Li Tong felt that there was something wrong with this.

Hu Jiaoxi looked at Li Tong and said, "The general won't come back for the New Year?"

Li Daodao: "Don't go back, the general doesn't come back every year for the New Year, and there are many affairs in the Northern Army." ”

Hu Jiaoxi nodded and said, "The general is hard. ”

Firecrackers were set off again at the house next door, and the four of them got up and walked out of the door to watch the firecracker fireworks.

Brilliant fireworks squeak and fly into the sky, blooming dazzling in the sky, then quickly dimming, and then other fireworks fly into the sky, blooming again and blooming, then dimming.

Li Jin, Li Yin and others have long been standing outside the door watching the fireworks.

After eating Chinese New Year's Eve, standing at the door to watch the fireworks rising everywhere in Bianjing City is what the people of Bianjing City do every year.

After a busy year, on the last day of the year, having dinner, leisurely watching fireworks, and the complicated affairs of the world, at this moment, were all left behind. Enjoying the brilliant fireworks, life is actually like fireworks, no matter how gorgeous it is, there is a time when it will be extinguished. And compared to extinction, anything that happens in life is actually not that important.

Everyone stood at the door of the inn and looked up at the fireworks. They all have their own things in their hearts, but no matter how much they have in their hearts, at this moment, their hearts are peaceful and satisfied.

The strong Great Song Dynasty, because it is strong enough, can bloom all over the sky now, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Chen Letian looked up at the fireworks, unconsciously moved to Li Xuan'er's side, and held Li Xuan'er's waist with his hand, Li Xuan'er was startled, turned her head to see that it was Chen Letian, and her face was red. Fortunately, it was dark now, and everyone could not see her face.

Li Xuan'er was helpless and took two steps to the side. Chen Letian didn't hesitate to stick it up, and laughed twice.

An Shi coughed suddenly.

Chen Letian was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand and behaved honestly.

Bang bang bang ...

The sky is full of fireworks and dazzling, like a hundred miles blooming in spring.

On this day, like this world, this year is over.

The eight years of Hecheng of the Great Song Dynasty are over.

Starting tomorrow, the ninth year of Hecheng, everyone will face a new year.
