This is a hill in the east of Qiyang Town, about ten miles away from Qiyang Town, and only a dozen miles away from the nearest military station, which can be said to be a watershed. Relief of residual jaw boils

Go down the hill to the east, and then pass through a wilderness Pingchuan, you can come to "Xiyanggang", and cross the border is the land of Wuyangguo.

Duanmu Hao, dressed in a white fox fur, stared quietly into the distance, under the starry night, on the white snow, two rows of horseshoe footprints stretched into the distance. A white horse carried two men at a hurry, and the wind whipped through the knight's white cloak.

"Your Highness, according to your orders, the sentry posts on the periphery of 'Xiyang Gang' have been removed, and they can pass through smoothly. According to the report of Tanma, the elite troops of the Huben battalion are rapidly gathering and constantly moving closer to the border, and the form is very unfavorable to him, do you need to bring a small team of men and horses to escort him?"

Duanmu Hao smiled slightly, glanced at Yu Feng, who was kneeling beside him, and said gently: "Yu Feng, you said that I let him go to Wu Yangguo today, is it right or not?"

Yu Feng has always respected this master like a god, and he will never dare to have the slightest doubt, so when he heard him ask like this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly kowtowed: "Your Highness is wise and wise, and there must be a deep meaning in making this decision." ”

"Hahaha!" Duanmu Hao laughed, his voice was still soft, not violent, but shocking, "I didn't expect that the always upright and upright captain of the Imperial Wind Guard would also say flattering words." Yes, I let him go back just to let him completely disturb the situation in Wuyang Kingdom, the river mussels compete with each other, and the fishermen benefit. But Yufeng, have you ever thought that what we let go today may be a real tiger, and now he is fledgling and his claws are not yet successful, which is the best time to kill him, otherwise, the eagle will return to the sky, and the tiger will enter the mountains and forests, and we will want to kill him again in the future, I am afraid it will not be an easy task. ”

Yu Feng gasped, "The eagle returns to the sky, and the tiger enters the mountains and forests" This comment is the second time he has heard, and his eyes suddenly shine, and he clenched the sword in his hand.

"Your Highness, who is this person? Isn't he Zheng Wenhao?"

"Zheng Wenhao has long since died. In fact, the reason why Wan Yanchang did not hesitate to offend the lord of the country and suddenly attacked and destroyed Zheng Guogong's family was not because of the personal grudge between Zheng Guogong and Wan Yanchang, but because of him. ”

"Him?!"

He was also at the Zheng family at the time. ”

Yu Feng quickly sorted out his thoughts, according to their information, a year ago, the lord of the country went to the northern extreme cold region and held an autumn festival, and the great Sima Wanyan Lie, who was responsible for guarding the national capital Wen Koer, suddenly attacked, under the pretext of Zheng Guogong's corruption and bribery, Zheng Guogong's family of more than 300 people were slaughtered, only Zheng Wenhao was saved by the Empress Dowager Xiao, sent to the frontier to do hard labor, and later fell off the cliff, suspected of missing.

If this person is not Zheng Wenhao, then the "he" that His Highness said is--

Yu Feng's heart lit up, he suddenly looked up at the knight who was gradually moving away, and quickly picked up his bow and arrows, and pulled the arrows, and the bow was like a full moon, as long as he let go of his fingers, the arrows were like meteors, and he could immediately take that person's life.

However, Duanmu Hao sighed softly and raised his hand to suppress the arrow.

Yufeng raised his head, and Duanmu Hao shook his head slightly.

The bow of the full moon was finally quietly withdrawn, and by this time, the knight's figure had disappeared under the protection of night, and the best time to kill him had been missed.

There was a slight moan of a woman in the cave, and Yufeng vigilantly blocked in front of Duanmu Hao, Duanmu Hao waved his hand calmly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't alarm her, take her back." ”

Zhuang Meiyan didn't know how long she had been asleep, the time was long, she only remembered that she was dizzy and fell asleep, and there seemed to be someone holding her body in the blur, she tried very hard to open her eyes and see the other party's face, but unfortunately everything was in vain.

It seemed like a white world around me, very hot, and suddenly very cold, and it felt familiar. Zhuang Meiyan suddenly remembered, isn't it in the ice cave that is white here? Why did she go to the ice cave again? Hasn't she been rescued?

She cried and shook in despair, and even hurt herself, but all the senses became dull, and she could finally be sure that she was dreaming, but this dream was so long that she couldn't wake up, what should she do?

Help me!

Her silent mouth closed with difficulty, her hands rubbing in vain against the ice walls around her.

Save me!

She suddenly felt thirsty, and greedily put her ear to the ice wall, even if she couldn't drink water, it was good to listen to the sound of running water.

This sound is so familiar, no, this is not the sound of running water, this is the heartbeat, it is the sound of a person's strong heartbeat. Zhuang Meiyan is happy and flustered, it's him, it's him, it must be him!

Zhuang Meiyan snuggled in that warm embrace with happiness, life is so beautiful, even if it is a dream, even if it is just a short moment, it is also happy to be able to snuggle with him.

She stretched out her fingers greedily and stroked every muscle on her chest, every inch of skin, she coveted his temperature, his heartbeat, and his breath. Even if it was just a dream, it was so vivid that she didn't want to wake up and linger.

She suddenly mustered up her courage and raised her head to see the other person's face. The light above her head was so dazzling that she couldn't even open her eyes. It's easy to wait for your eyes to adjust to the light, but you only see the outline of a jaw, and your lips slightly bloom into a beautiful smile, which moves slightly.

"You and I are both upright people, no need to be afraid!"

No need to be afraid!

I'm not afraid, but who are you?

She tried to make out the shape of the other person's lips, but the light around her suddenly dimmed, and she couldn't see anything, and the ice walls around her disappeared, and everything went dark.

......

"No, no! don't leave me!"

Zhuang Meiyan screamed and sat up suddenly.

She gasped for breath, sweat soaked through her heavy clothes, and suddenly felt weak all over, and her body leaned back uncontrollably. She didn't fall heavily on the pillow as expected, but leaned back slightly, and then leaned against a solid chest, her precious clothes emitting a faint incense. Zhuang Meiyan lowered her eyelids, she looked at a slender and white hand in a daze to pull the quilt on herself, and then patted her gently, and said with relief: "It's okay! I'm here!"

The voice is soothing and warm, and every word makes people feel reassured.

Hearing this familiar voice again, Zhuang Meiyan just felt that his heart was stagnant, he couldn't breathe, time seemed to stand still, everything in his life no longer existed, only he was left.

A year, a whole year has passed, is it him?

Zhuang Meiyan didn't dare to raise her head, she didn't dare to turn around, she held her breath, and her face became even paler. Duanmu Hao behind him thought that she was not in good health, so he reached out and tried her forehead worriedly, frowned, and said, "Yufeng, call someone to come in and show Miss Zhuang the pulse." ”

"Yes!" replied Mikaze, who was guarding the door.

A white-haired old doctor humbly entered the room to test Zhuang Meiyan's pulse, and taking advantage of this effort, Zhuang Meiyan looked around. Lying on a large bed with intricate carvings, the yellow brocade quilt is soft, the material is precious, and the gauze tents hanging on both sides of the bed can be faintly seen with gold and silver double lines showing off the coiling dragon.

Zhuang Meiyan was secretly frightened, and he couldn't guess the origin of this Duanmu Hao, even if he was a nobleman of the clan, he dared to use bright yellow colors and carve a dragon, which was definitely not an ordinary character.

This space is not big, opposite is a jade-inlaid screen, Zhuang Meiyan smelled the fragrance of ink, presumably the outer room is the study, but this inner room is the owner's extremely private resting place, I can't imagine that Duanmu Hao actually placed himself here. Zhuang Meiyan was embarrassed in her heart, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Duanmu Hao didn't know what she was thinking, but she looked at the old doctor with great concern to diagnose the pulse, and the old doctor didn't dare to slack off, he was extremely serious and careful, and after trying both wrists, he knelt down and saluted: "Back to Gongzi, this girl is fine, but she was a little frightened, and she occasionally felt cold, so she can rest for a few days." ”

Duanmu Hao nodded slightly, and Yufeng led the old doctor out.

"Duanmu Gongzi, did you save me?" Zhuang Meiyan realized at this time that his life was saved by him.

Duanmu Hao smiled slightly, he picked up a bowl of soup medicine on the table and blew it carefully.

"Let's drink the medicine first. ”

Zhuang Meiyan took the medicine bowl from his hand, a black bowl of thick juice, the taste was strong, she drank it silently, hung her head, and frowned slightly.

"Is it bitter?" he asked softly.

The soup made of herbs was naturally bitter, so bitter that even her tongue was numb, but what made Zhuang Meiyan feel painful was not this bowl of bitter medicine, she just remembered what happened last night. She remembered that she was locked up in the house by the bandits of Xiaolong, and she was also doused with kitsch, so her innocence—is it still there?

She took out one hand and gently touched the clothes on her body, the silk was smooth, and it was actually a pink precious satin bedgown, with a bright luster. This dress is not hers, so what happened last night, after she lost consciousness? Zhuang Meiyan didn't dare to imagine it anymore, and her face became more and more pale.

"Is it bitter?" Duanmu Hao took the empty bowl in her hand and asked with concern. He sat down next to her, and the two of them were very close.

Zhuang Meiyan wrung her little hands hard, she wanted to pretend to be calm, and even wanted to smile, but her hands trembled very uncontrollably.

Tears slowly overflowed the edge of the eye sockets, quietly dripping, and smashed the back of a warm and white hand, the slender and powerful fingers were gently covered on Zhuang Meiyan's tightly clenched fists, covering them extremely gently, and the equally warm arms opened, hugging her weak shoulders and gently patting them.

"It's okay! It's okay! I'm here!"

Zhuang Meiyan really wanted to throw herself into that warm embrace and cry happily, but there was a more peculiar power in her heart that forced her to calm down slowly.

No matter what happens, you must never lose your temper in front of this man.

With her nails digging into her palms, she stubbornly tilted her head, pursed her lips slightly, took a deep breath, and finally smiled.

"It's okay to look good, let Duanmu Gongzi smile!"

"Duanmu Gongzi This is the second time he has saved Mei Yan, and Mei Yan really doesn't know how to repay you. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Duanmu Hao's eyes, and he immediately returned to normal. He looked at the woman in front of him appreciatively, his expression was arrogant, his eyes were calm and peaceful, the panic and helplessness just now had disappeared without a trace, he was indeed a different woman!

"Repay?" Duanmu Hao's two good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was seriously considering this matter, and after a while, his eyebrows were slightly relaxed, and he said, "Then help me brew a peerless good bar, can last year's 'potpourri' be out of the cellar?"

Zhuang Meiyan smiled calmly and said, "Yes, I'll tell Gongzi where the wine is buried, and ask Gongzi to ask someone to dig it out, just in--"

Duanmu Hao quickly stretched out his index finger and touched her lips.

"Shhhh His expression was a little mysterious, and his voice was lowered and more magnetic, "Don't say it, good wine is worth the wait, we all have time." ”

Zhuang Meiyan's heart suddenly accelerated, beating two more beats, her cheeks flushed, and her eyelids drooped slightly.

"Okay, you take a break. Duanmu Hao caught a glimpse of Yu Feng standing outside the screen, so he hurriedly comforted him and got up to leave.

Zhuang Meiyan lay on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

She suddenly woke up from a coma just now, her thoughts were confused, and after Zhuang Meiyan came back to her senses, the first thing she thought about was the safety of the other people in the town, I don't know if they were poisoned by the dragon?

She was full of worries, and was about to ask Duanmu Hao what was going on, but she didn't want Duanmu Hao to get up and leave, and there seemed to be a guest outside. The iron boots were heavy, the saber hit the armor, and there was a loud noise, this guest was clearly a soldier, and he was a soldier draped all over his body, and Zhuang Meiyan could even smell the unique smell of blood on the battlefield.

She has experienced life and death, and she is particularly fond of that taste.

"Subordinates, see Ruixiang Wangye, Wang Ye Jin'an!"

This voice was like thunder on the ground, which shocked Zhuang Meiyan's heart.

Duanmu Hao, it turned out to be the youngest brother of the current saint, the Ruixiang prince who is known as the first son in the world. Yes, such a handsome charm, such a fairy style and arrogant bones, and a fairy-like character, in addition to the first son in the world, who else will it be?

Zhuang Meiyan secretly blamed himself for being stupid, although he didn't know the name of Ruixiang Wangye, he should guess that it was him!

It's really stupid!

"This is not the capital, there are not so many rules, in the future, you will be like Yufeng, and you will also call me Gongzi." Duanmu Hao's voice was as peaceful and gentle as ever.

Yi Fan has captured Poyang Mountain, the bandits' den of thieves, and captured the thief's leader Xiaolong alive. The voice of the person who spoke was also very familiar, and it turned out to be an old friend, Chu Yifan.

"Very good! At first, I was worried that the promotion of you to lieutenant general would cause criticism? With this meritorious service, the old ministers in the court could no longer nag about anything. ”

"Xie Gongzi cultivates!"

Their voices gradually lowered, as if they were discussing last night's battle, and Zhuang Meiyan listened vaguely. Chu Yifan took advantage of the opportunity when Xiaolong led the elite soldiers and horses down the mountain to clear Qiyang Town, and only used a team of more than a dozen people to attack Poyang Mountain. These dozen or so people were all good at killing enemies with him, and the bandits on the mountain were unguarded, so they quickly broke through the cottage.

When Xiaolong got the information, he immediately abandoned Qiyang Town and hurried back to Poyang Mountain, where he was ambushed by Chu Yifan on the way. Chu Yifan is only a dozen people, and Xiaolong has at least five hundred people, and there is a huge disparity between the enemy and us, and the so-called ambush also needs to be of comparable strength to be effective.

But Chu Yifan, with his extraordinary martial arts, singled out the Thunder Dragon, fought a big battle with it, and finally narrowly won with one move and captured the Thunder Dragon alive. After all, the bandits were a rabble, the leader was captured, the others had no fighting spirit, and five or six hundred people actually surrendered Chu Yifan at the same time.

Chu Yifan became famous in a battle and soon became the youngest famous general in the Wushuang Kingdom, but this is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

Zhuang Meiyan heard from Chu Yifan's words that the danger in Qiyang Town had been alleviated, and the villagers had not suffered any losses, and their hearts were a little relieved. She was exhausted, and as soon as her mind was put down, her eyelids began to glue together, and she fell asleep again in a daze.

Qiyang Town is unprecedentedly lively, the streets are full of lights, the streets are clean, and every household is clean and burns incense. The first is to thank God and the mountain god for their protection, so that Qiyang Town can avoid a murder, but to welcome the arrival of Ruixiang Wangye.

This time, Qiyang Town was able to escape the killing and robbery and did not suffer from the poison of the dragon, a large part of the reason was due to the efforts of the third girl Zhuang, she asked Da Zhuang to take the daughter-in-law of the Hong family back, and all misunderstandings were naturally eliminated. In addition, Chu Yifan highlighted the strange soldiers and completely recovered this group of habitual bandits, which can be regarded as eliminating a major hidden danger for the local area.

Zhuang Meiyan sat in the spacious carriage, listening to the eulogies of "Wang Ye Chitose, Wang Ye Shengming" and other songs and virtues outside from everyone outside, and her heart was very emotional.

The so-called power is like this.

Duanmu Hao was accustomed to such a scene, opened the curtain and glanced at it, and said lightly: "I heard that people have regarded you as the messenger of the mountain god, and they worship you very much. The white wolf is your mount, and you can also let the mountain god help you make wine, and even the dead can let the mountain god help you come back to life. ”

Zhuang Meiyan lowered his head and said: "The prince is smiling." ”

Duanmu Hao reproached: "The charm also wants to meet me, why have I ever called myself 'this king' in front of you?"

This sentence was said very intimately, but Zhuang Meiyan didn't dare to think deeper, and said, "Childe is smiling." ”

Duanmu Hao sighed and said quietly: "People say 'high places are not cold', and it is difficult to find a confidant. ”

Zhuang Meiyan's face was impressive, and he said in a low voice: "Meiyan is stupid, and the word confidant really can't afford it, if Gongzi doesn't give up, Meiyan is willing to make wine for Gongzi in this life." ”

"Hahaha!" Duanmu Hao didn't force her, he laughed and said: "Okay, then I will have a mouth blessing in the future, and the 'female wine fairy' blessed by the mountain god will make wine for me, wouldn't it be happy!"

Zhuang Meiyan was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Childe makes fun of Meiyan, what 'female wine fairy', what mountain god blessings, they are all street jokes, and Childe actually jokes about Meiyan." ”

The words seemed to be coquettish, and Duanmu Hao smiled silently.

Zhuang Meiyan explained the truth of the matter to Duanmu Hao, speaking of the white wolf mount Duanmu Hao was not surprised, he was very interested in the rumors of the night glow in the wine altar, as for the resurrection of the dead, he naturally did not believe it, Zhuang Meiyan also explained to him, the death of the daughter-in-law of the Hong family that day was just a play for the people in the town to see, the blood and the so-called children in the basin were all prepared in advance, and the unformed child was just a little rabbit with skin.

"It is rumored that the wine jar where you make wine will glow red at night, and it is the mountain god who is giving you the method, otherwise why would you age it overnight? If it is not impossible to age overnight, this is not surprising, but why does the wine jar shine?"

Zhuang Meiyan smiled slightly, and said: "Childe is well-informed, how can this little trick of Meiyan be hidden from Childe? There is a kind of red stone on Qiyang Mountain, which is becoming more and more normal, and it will glow at night, grinding the red stone into powder and sprinkling it on the ground, which is the reason why the wine jar shines at night. ”

"In that case, there is no mountain god practice, but it is just human nature. The guy who sneaked into the ancestral hall and wanted to take the opportunity to make a ghost saw the wine jar glowing, and accidentally clicked on the wrong wine jar seal. ”

Zhuang Meiyan smiled and said: "It's not all luck, it's Meiyan who secretly asked people to change the positions of the two wine jars, and that person was flustered, so naturally he wouldn't look too carefully." ”

Duanmu Hao nodded slightly, his eyes showing approval.

The carriage paused, and finally stopped. Zhuang Meiyan was a little puzzled in her heart, this carriage seemed to take a lot longer than before entering Qiyang Town, and her story was finished before she arrived at her destination. Because of Duanmu Hao's presence, it was inconvenient for her to open the door curtain to inspect the situation outside, so she could only let it go.

Duanmu Hao seemed to see the doubts in her heart, stretched out his hand to open the door curtain, and said softly: "Come down and take a look, I hope you will like it." ”

Zhuang Meiyan stepped out of the carriage full of doubts, and what appeared in front of her was a large wilderness, overgrown with weeds, this is the periphery of Qiyang Town, located in the east of Qiyang Town, there is still a certain distance from the town, it can be said that it is quite a barren place. There's really nothing to be called a surprise here.

But Zhuang Meiyan was very excited to go around this wasteland, running to the east for a while, and then to the north, looking around, and finally returning to Duanmu Hao with some breath, looking at this man who was a head taller than herself, Zhuang Meiyan's voice trembled slightly.

"Here, is this land going to be given to me?"

Her eyes showed a light of expectation, and that strong desire was deeply imprinted in Duanmu Hao's mind, and this not beautiful woman left a different impression on him with her unique proud attitude.

What this woman desires is not ordinary wealth, not fame, and even less status.

There was something unusual about what she wanted.

Duanmu Hao smiled tolerantly, he used a man's pride to contain a woman's pride, and he suddenly understood the whole purpose of this woman's efforts.

"Yes. He nodded firmly, his deep gaze looking into the boundless wilderness, "There, there, there, there is as far as you can go in this land, how much land will belong to you." ”

The excitement in Zhuang Meiyan's heart was no longer able to describe it in words, she pursed her lips and nodded slightly. The heart swept through like a stormy wave, the man in front of her made her feel what is inclusive, what is the Jingtao Weiluo, a person's success is inseparable from personal wisdom and efforts, but also needs opportunities, she is grateful to God for putting this person and opportunity in front of her at the same time.

"Can't hide anything from Childe, how did Childe know that Meiyan wants to build his new winery and silk estate here?"

"Oh, could it be that on a piece of land in Nuoda, Meiyan just wants to build a winery and a silk estate here? Then, Meiyan is really disappointing to me!" Duanmu Hao's eyes showed reproach.

Duanmu Hao took out a roll of rice paper from his arms and slowly spread it out in the wind, and the map of Qiyang Town was drawn on it. Seeing this familiar drawing, Zhuang Meiyan's heart was hot, it was the future road design of Qiyang Town that she designed. When she donated money to build roads in the town, she only made one request, that is, she should designate the road section to be built. Duanmu Hao was smiling and gesturing a thick line with his hand that led from Qiyang Town to the seaside in the east.

Zhuang Meiyan felt that the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said contemplatively: "Yes, Meiyan just wants to build a road that leads to the seaside." ”

"Can you give me a reason?"

"Glamour wants to build a dock. ”

Docks, nautical. The volume of ships for the delivery of goods is definitely a multiple of the geometric level of land transportation, and labor-saving and labor-saving, Wushuang country is close to the sea, the ship manufacturing industry is very developed, has built its own port in the south, and some overseas countries to establish commerce and trade, so although the land is not rich, and the business is very prosperous, when it comes to national strength, it ranks first among the three countries.

Therefore, Zhuang Meiyan Xiu's idea of building a wharf is not out of line. However, the construction of the wharf was very expensive, which was by no means affordable for an ordinary merchant, and the silver taels required could be an astronomical amount.

Duanmu Hao looked at the woman in front of him with admiration, and said with a slight bow: "Do you think it will take many years to build the dock with your ability, not to mention the establishment of a fleet, and many costs?"

Zhuang Meiyan showed a rare look of perseverance, and said word by word: "One year is not enough, then two years, two years is not enough, then three years, there is still a long time in Meiyan's life to wait." ”

"So what about after it is built? Have you ever thought about it, a mere Qiyang town simply has the ability to digest such a huge amount of materials. ”

"Yes, Meiyan has thought about it, so Meiyan is bold, please ask Gongzi to allow Meiyan to build another road. ”

Zhuang Meiyan suddenly knelt down solemnly, she lightly gestured on the map with her finger, and then looked up at Duanmu Hao, who did not stop her, but sighed.

"Build a road to the north! Zhuang Meiyan, you are so bold! Do you know that there is no precedent for trade with Wuyang in a hundred years. ”

Wushuang Kingdom, Tang Ming Kingdom, and Wuyang Kingdom are the three kingdoms of the world, and the strength of the three kingdoms is equal, and there has been no war in the past hundred years. Among the three kingdoms, the land of Wuyang is the most vast, but the land is barren, only the vast and endless grassland is used to graze cattle and sheep, they have the purest blood, the most violent war horses, they also sit on the rich mineral deposits given to them by the Tianjue Mountains in the north, the smelting industry is very developed, since ancient times, there is a saying that "the world's famous sword comes out of Wuyang", nine of the world's top ten famous swords are from the hands of the most famous smelters in Wuyang.

The fastest war horse, the best weapon, and the most ferocious soldier, these three things constitute the most powerful Wuyang army. Wushuang and Wuyang have been facing off for many years, and they have relied on Qiyang natural insurance to keep the peace of both sides, so there is no precedent for officially opening trade since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Wuyangguo's main trade was with Tang Mingguo, a neighbor in the southwest, but Tang Mingguo was only agriculturally developed, and his commerce was mainly supported by trade with Wushuang on the southern border, which means that Tang Mingguo was acting as a middleman, and the profits of these two layers would eventually be pressed on Wuyangguo's head. Under such circumstances, some people in Wushuang Kingdom also proposed to directly open trade with Wuyang Kingdom in exchange for huge profits for the country, but they were finally vetoed by the royal family and nobles under the pretext of national security.

Because of the temptation of profits, the merchants of Wuyang always try their best to cross the border and come to Qiyang Town to buy high-quality and cheap goods to sell, and even sometimes the army will secretly mix in, so there are often small groups of soldiers at the border to harass, and the border guards are also very annoying.

Zhuang Meiyan has been doing business in Qiyang Town for more than a year, so she naturally discovered this fact, so she germinated the idea of opening up trade between the two countries. If it was just a budding idea of hers before, then today's conversation with Duanmu Hao gave this bud the best opportunity to break through the ground.

And these truths, Zhuang Meiyan didn't say a word, she knew the man in front of her very well, with his intelligence, it was impossible not to see the benefits of opening trade between the two countries.

"Give me a reason, give me the most favorable reason to convince the old guys in the court. ”

"If Childe can help Charm Yan build this road, then Charm can bring Childe back to the fastest war horse running on the grassland, and can also bring back the sharpest sword in the world, as well as the unique blood jade of the Heavenly Absolute Mountains, as well as countless gold and silver treasure mines, if Childe is willing to build a key for Childe, Charm is willing to present Childe with the huge treasure of Wuyang Kingdom, and Childe can choose at will. ”

"The best war horse, the fastest sword. Duanmu Hao repeated, he slowly closed his eyelids, and hid all the expressions in his eyes, his face was as solemn as an ancient well, making it difficult to guess his thoughts.

Zhuang Meiyan, who was kneeling beside him, felt that the huge tide in his heart was hitting his heart one after another, she chose to be silent and lowered her head gently.

After a long time, Duanmu Hao opened his eyes again, his expression was radiant, and his eyes returned to their previous peace and tranquility.

"Okay, I promise you, at most three years, I will help you open this road, as well as the dock, and I will help you build it. Duanmu Hao waved his hand lightly to stop Zhuang Meiyan's protest, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't forget your promise, the best fast horse, the best sword, and also, your best wine." ”

Zhuang Meiyan knew that it was useless for her to say more at this time, so she fell to the ground with joy.

"Yes! This is a promise between us that will never change. ”

Duanmu Hao looked at Zhuang Meiyan with some surprise and solemnly stretched out his right hand, raised it above his head, and finally, he also stretched out his right hand.

Two hands handed, three high-fives.

It was also an oath, an oath that changed the fate of many.

What the future holds, no one knows. Zhuang Meiyan stood beside the man, smiling, at least, at this moment, they were side by side, looking at the mountains stretching and coiling.

Winter passed in a flash, and it was another year of spring and March.

The snow in the mountains and forests has not completely melted, and everything is still recovering, with a hundred flowers blooming, branches greening, and spring filling the world.

Today's Qiyang Town is very lively, and you can hear the "tick-tock" suona sound in the town from afar, beating gongs and drums, and firecrackers. Take a closer look, which one is this lantern and red and flowers? Isn't that the Xi family winery of Xi Lao's shopkeeper!

The old shopkeeper Xi was wearing a brand-new black silk satin cardigan coat, looking very dignified, and was standing at the door to greet the guests, an old face was smiling, and even the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes were stretched.

Today is the day of Xi Ruolan, the only daughter of Xi Lao's shopkeeper, Xi Lao's shopkeeper only has such a daughter, so it is to recruit a son-in-law into Xi's family, which is equivalent to accepting another son, the ceremony is particularly grand, the local squires have come to say goodbye, and even the county magistrate has entrusted the master to come to give congratulatory gifts.

On today's big day, the old shopkeeper Xi did not dare to slack off at all, and personally greeted the guests at the door.

"Old Shopkeeper Xi, congratulations!"

It was a woman's voice, very familiar, and the old shopkeeper Xi looked up and immediately said happily: "Alas, three girls, please hurry up, Lan'er is upstairs, you can go up quickly." ”

Zhuang Meiyan said goodbye, and asked Chunju to hand over the gift list, she and Xi Ruolan are good sisters, how can there be fewer gifts! Speaking of Xi Ruolan's marriage, it can be described as a twist and turn. First, Han Niu'er and the Hong family's daughter-in-law had an adultery incident, which caused an uproar, and then Han Niu'er secretly left Qiyang Town.

Xi Ruolan and Han Niu'er had a misunderstanding because of this, and the marriage between the two was naturally stranded, and the Xi family couldn't raise their heads in Qiyang Town for a while, and the relationship between the Xi family and Zhuang Meiyan was also a lot colder. After all, the shopkeeper Xi Lao is a person who has experienced things, and he still sees it relatively lightly, and he has nothing to do with Zhuang Meiyan, when Xi Ruolan and Xiao Nizi's original fiery heart was poured with cold water, she was naturally disheartened.

Later, after such a fuss about Xiaolong, everyone finally knew the truth, and the man who befriended the daughter-in-law of the Hong family turned out to be the bandit Xiaolong. During that time, Zhuang Meiyan was not in the silk village, and Xiaolong secretly came to have a tryst with the daughter-in-law of the Hong family, but somehow was noticed by the Hong family's father-in-law and mother-in-law, and quietly followed them.

The Hong family is clamoring to catch the traitor, Xiaolong is a bandit who kills people without blinking, and he is not afraid of these villagers at all, and he wants to go out and cut people when he pulls out a knife. The daughter-in-law of the Hong family saw that the momentum was not good, and even coaxed and persuaded him to escape through the back window, and met Han Niu'er who came back from delivering wine on the way. The daughter-in-law of the Hong family hurriedly explained to Han Niu'er, and begged Han Niu'er to send Xiaolong out of town.

Han Niu'er was originally a warm-hearted person, and she couldn't resist the bitter pleading of the Hong family's daughter-in-law, so she sent the two of them out of town. According to Xiaolong's meaning, it was like taking the Hong family's daughter-in-law away, but who knew that the Hong family's daughter-in-law would not obey, and even forced each other to death, forcing Xiaolong away.

Han Niu'er brought the Hong family's daughter-in-law back to the town, and as soon as she entered the town, she met the Hong family, and these people couldn't help but say, and insisted that Han Niu'er had committed adultery with the Hong family's daughter-in-law, so they arrested the two. The Hong family's mother-in-law was even more hateful, and added fuel and vinegar to say that she had seen it with her own eyes, which made Han Niuer and the Hong family's daughter-in-law speechless.

Han Niu'er went out to hide, but Zhuang Meiyan meant it, let him go to the outside county to hide for a few days, and when she dealt with it, the rumors subsided, and Han Niu'er came back. However, Han Niuer has been relieved, and when he heard that the dealer received a "red post", he immediately rushed back.

The misunderstanding was cleared up, and the matter finally came to an end.

How are Han Niuer and Xi Ruolan, the little mandarin ducks, good?

Zhuang Meiyan thought about the past and walked upstairs. The easternmost room on the second floor is Xi Ruolan's boudoir, and tonight will also be their newlywed cave room.

The room is hung with red silk ribbons, and the bed is covered with red futon, embroidered with Luan Feng Chengxiang, which looks very festive. The most beautiful view of the room was that of the shy bride, who sat at the dressing table with a blushing face, shy and timid, with her fingertips wrapped around the corner of the red silk cloth, and one could not help but feel pity.

"Sister Lan'er, congratulations!" Zhuang Meiyan said with a smile and took her hand.

Xi Ruolan said embarrassedly: "Sister!"

Zhuang Meiyan smiled and asked quietly: "Didn't you say that if you marry a pig and a dog in this life, you won't marry him again?"

It turned out that after Han Niu'er went out, she gradually sorted out the chaotic thoughts in her heart, slowly broke free from the emotional entanglement, and realized that she was not without feelings for Xi Ruolan. But after these things, there was a gap in their hearts, although Han Niu'er had the heart to come to the door again, she was afraid that she would be rejected by Xi Ruolan.

In the end, it was with Zhuang Meiyan's encouragement that he mustered up the courage to propose to Xi Ruolan again. The result can be imagined, Xi Ruolan's temperament is as strong as fire, so she naturally refused, and said angrily and angrily, "Don't marry a pig and a dog in this life, don't marry him again, a stupid cow".

Chunju also came over to join in the fun, and said with a smile: "Miss Xi, don't be deceived by the snowman!"

Xi Ruolan's face was more colorful than the red wedding dress she was wearing, and she frowned and stomped her feet: "Sister Chunju, you, you also bully me...... You're all so bad!"

The two got into a mess. Zhuang Meiyan pursed her lips and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Although Xi Ruolan was rejected in public, Han Niu'er made his old mistake - being strong, and refused to leave at the door of their house. Just in time for the snow that night, Han Niu'er stayed at the door of Xi's house all night, so she became a "snowman", Xi Ruolan was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, so she naturally couldn't look past it, so she could only agree to marry him.

Now that this good story is being used by Chunju to make fun of Xi Ruolan, she is naturally embarrassed.

Zhuang Meiyan hurriedly pulled the two apart and persuaded: "Okay, okay! Today is a big day, Chunju, don't mess around." Hey, it's so lively outside, is the groom here?"

Chunju and Xi Niang hurriedly helped Xi Ruolan tidy up the crumpled wedding dress, and re-powdered it to make up for it.

"That's not right!" Chunju suddenly frowned and said: "Miss, this suona sound doesn't seem to be blowing in the tone of welcoming relatives, and there is also a gong to open the way, is this an official who is coming?"

Zhuang Meiyan and the others listened attentively, and there was indeed a gong outside.

There was a mess downstairs, and a man rushed up. The bluffing bride hurriedly picked up the red silk cloth to cover the bride's face, and at the same time complained: "Get out quickly, this is the bride's boudoir, and men can't come in." ”

The person who came was Luzi, a buddy of the Xi family, he knew that he had inadvertently committed a taboo, so he quickly stopped his steps, finally did not enter the threshold, and stood outside the door and shouted excitedly: "Congratulations to the third girl, the house is happy, the seventh brother was admitted to the Tongsheng, I heard that it was the first place in the government exam." ”

Zhuang Meiyan and Chunju glanced at each other, Chunju was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "The slave knows that the seventh brother will be angry, and he will be angry, and he was really admitted." ”

Although Zhuang Meiyan was also very happy, she was calmer than Chunju, and said with a smile: "It's just that I was admitted to the Tongsheng, and now even Xiucai is not, I have to wait for the next year's scientific examination to admit students to count." ”

Chunju said with a smile: "Next year, our seventh brother will definitely be able to win the case, and in the future, we will be able to win three yuan." When the seventh brother has a fame, he will show his face to his wife, and when the time comes, the master will definitely think of his wife and young lady, and he will take us back to the capital. ”

Chunju looks forward to the future to her heart's content, which is undoubtedly the best ending in her opinion.

Zhuang Meiyan turned her face to look out the window and said in a low voice: "Beijing, yes, we will definitely go back to the capital, that is our home." ”

"By the way, go and tell my mother the good news, she will be very happy to hear it. Zhuang Meiyan urged.

Chunju left in response. Zhuang Meiyan walked downstairs, and the people downstairs also knew the good news and congratulated Zhuang Meiyan one after another.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers outside rang out, and the real groom official finally came.

In the evening, the "Phoenix Nest" in March looks very quiet and peaceful under the light of the setting sun. Zhuang Meiyan returned to the old house of "Phoenix Nest", in the open space in the backyard, the bamboo pulled out new leaves, the wind passed through the bamboo forest, and the sound sounded, Zhuang Meiyan stood under the peach tree, quietly looking at the Qilian Mountain in the distance.

After a winter and spring, the originally withered peach tree was rejuvenated, blooming layers of buds, full of peach, very gorgeous.

She took out a blood-red heart-shaped jade pendant from her arms, put it in her palm, and gently touched it. This jade pendant was originally worn by Xiaobai, and later lost it when it was attacked by a vicious wolf, and she went back to the "Phoenix Nest" during the Chinese New Year last year, but found that this jade pendant had been hanging alone on the bare branch of this peach tree, gently swaying with the wind.

What is this?

Xiaobai, do you want to tell me that you are still alive? or do you want to say ...... What else?

At this time, Liu Er, the daughter-in-law of the Hong family, turned around from the corner of the house with the infant child in her arms, and said with a smile: "Third girl, the wind is strong in spring, this is a shady place, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Zhuang Meiyan came back to her senses, she leaned over to look at the little baby in Liu Er's arms, wrapped tightly in a small quilt, revealing only a white and tender little face. The child stared at a pair of big clever eyes, and his small body was very ageless and kicked and kicked in the quilt, and protested "snuggly", as if he was very dissatisfied with this differential treatment.

Zhuang Meiyan couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and flick the child's delicate little face, and said with a smile: "If you want to run, then grow up quickly, little girl." ”

"This kid's eyes are so big, so good-looking, like you, he will be a beauty when he grows up. Zhuang Meiyan exclaimed.

Liu Er saw that Zhuang Meiyan liked children very much, so she leaned towards her.

"Can I hug her?" Zhuang Meiyan liked more and more when she looked at her, and couldn't help asking.

Taking the child from Liu Er's hand, Zhuang Meiyan carefully held the child in her arms, holding her head with one hand and the child's buttocks with the other, very steadily, humming a song in her mouth, swaying back and forth. At first, Liu Er was worried that Zhuang Meiyan was an unmarried girl who would not hold a child, but she couldn't help but be secretly surprised to see that she was so skilled.

Zhuang Meiyan saw her doubts, so she smiled: "When my brother was a child, I often coaxed him to come, he likes to listen to me sing, and he can fall asleep when I hum." ”

The little baby felt comfortable, and his chubby little face showed two small dimples, and he smiled very comfortably.

"Smiled, smiled!" Zhuang Meiyan said to Liu Er in surprise.

"Third girl, I see that this child is very close to you, forgive me for being bold, ask the third girl to name the child. Liu Er said a little timidly.

Zhuang Meiyan thought for a while and said, "It's a girl, and she landed in the 'Phoenix Nest', so it's called Fengming." ”

Liu Er waved her hand and said: "This can't be done, isn't this the name given to your winery by Prince Ruixiang? This name is too big, and the country children are afraid that they can't afford it, so let's change it." ”

"Then it's called Feiyu, Phoenix Yu Fei, Hui Qi Yu, sooner or later, she will fly out of the 'Phoenix Nest' one day. ”

"Miss Xie San, it's called Feiyu, Xiao Feiyu, Xiao Yu'er, you have a name. ”

After changing the child to Liu'er, Zhuang Meiyan held on to the peach branch and looked at the top of Qilian Mountain in the distance.

The phoenix is singing, and it is in the high hill. The sycamore is born, and the sun rises in the sun.

Feng Ming, Feng Ming, sooner or later, one day, the whole world will hear the chirping of this phoenix.
