readx;? Closer to the end of the year, the palace of Ningguo began to be lit up, although there were red stickers everywhere, but the atmosphere was not as festive as in previous years, the snow on the road had been cleared, and long ice edges hung on the tiles, shining in the sunlight.

If the palace is still lively, the people in the city are much more miserable, after the war or refuge or fled to this place, they are not only homeless and hungry, but fortunately, outside the imperial city every day there are people to send relief food, although they can't eat, but they will not starve to death, so for them, the taste of this year is a little lighter, the problem is that the current situation does not mean that it can get better after the beginning of spring, it is likely to last for a long time- For these small countries in the south of the Yan Country, the war has been going on for nearly a year, and the crops in the fields have long since withered.
Men died in a hundred battles, the elderly died of illness, women and children had no home, and the country was lonely in the mountains and rivers.
What kind of living conditions the people outside are now, Su Qin knows very well, he who often patrols the city these days, will always have a kind of helplessness - if this world is composed of countless people, and the lives of these countless people are often only a few people, and their decisions determine the life and death of ordinary people.
There is no equality, on the contrary, there is a hierarchy. There is no freedom, on the contrary, the body is involuntary.
So although they are in the palace of Ningguo, the diet of Su Qin and the others is not extravagant, and it is just some coarse tea and light rice, which is enough to covet compared to the civilians in the city, because they can eat enough, Su Qin grew up in the tribe since he was a child, lived in the mountains, and suffered everything, while those demon cultists have lived in the swamp all year round, and their lives are not much better than now.
It's evening now, after dinner, some people go to rest, and some go to train those newly recruited soldiers - the recruitment of soldiers was done secretly before, and with Su Qin leaving Ye Qiaoshui in Ningguo with those people who left, now enlisting in the army has become something that many young and middle-aged people want to do, because they have food to eat when they enter the barracks.
Su Qin didn't rest or watch the training of those soldiers, he just stood on the city wall and looked at the night sky in the north.
The night sky was pitch black, and there was not a single light in the distance except for the lights on the city walls, as if ink had been splashed.
Behind Su Qin stood Ning Blueberry Single Screen and Flower Light Dance, the three girls, one big and two young, hid on the side and didn't know what they were talking about in a whisper, occasionally looking up at Su Qin, Su Qin didn't care, he was thinking about the war in the north.
After the heavy snowfall, a letter came from the north, and Su Qin knew that Ye Qiaoshui and they had withdrawn their troops, as well as the iron cavalry of Mangguo, and in the letter, he also mentioned Du Linlou, who had no news.
After the New Year, there is still a month to go until the beginning of spring, and the grain and grass in the imperial city can only last until that time.
What is the current Lihuo City like? How are Ye Qiaoshui who stayed in Xiliang City, and Du Linlou is alive or dead?
Su Qin's brows furrowed tightly.
After a moment, his brow furrowed a little deeper, as he saw a figure.
The horse's hooves shook up flakes of slush, as if a whirlwind had brought about it, and soon the man was under the north gate.
Looking at the people who came, Hua Qingwu shouted happily and ordered someone to open the city gate.
"Why is Master here now?" Looking at Su Qin, Hua Qingwu said with some surprise, and after speaking, he quickly ran under the city wall, and when Hua Qingwu came downstairs, Zhai Rongguang had already dismounted and was holding a wine bag to drink wine to warm up.
"Master, you're here. Hua Qingwu threw herself into Zhai Rongguang's arms, her eyes a little red.
"Something for the teacher. Zhai Rongguang said and looked at Su Qin, who also came down from the city wall: "Young master, I haven't seen you for a long time." After speaking, Zhai Rongguang's gaze fell on Ning Blueberry and Shan Pingyou, who were standing behind Su Qin: "How are the two little majesties doing lately?"
Ning Blueberry and Shan Ping Yu glanced at each other, Ning Blueberry stepped forward and said, "Everything is fine, thank you." ”
Zhai Rongguang nodded, and his eyes fell on Su Qin's body again: "Young master, can you take a step to speak?"
"You come here from Xiliang City, take a rest first, and talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say. Su Qin looked at Hua Qingwu: "Xiao Wu, you can arrange a place for your master to live first." ”
"Yes, Master, you just came, if you have anything to say tomorrow, it's not too late to say it, you haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you." Hua Qingwu said and took Zhai Rongguang's arm and walked towards the palace.
Watching the backs of the two walk away, Ning Blueberry and Shan Ping You came to Su Qin, and Shan Ping Yu took the lead in speaking: "Brother Su, what do you say Zhai Rongguang is doing here now?"
"Let me go north. Su Qin replied softly.
"Do you want to go now?" Looking at the look on Su Qin's face, Ning Blueberry didn't notice anything unusual, so he asked.
"Let me think about it. Su Qin said and looked at the two: "You guys should also rest early." After speaking, Su Qin turned around and left.
After leaving, Su Qin found Hei Ling, Bai Qi and others, and told them about Zhai Rongguang's arrival, and everyone discussed it for a while, and finally decided that the original plan would remain unchanged and go north for a while. This result was the same as Su Qin's thoughts, Su Qin nodded and said that he would have a good talk with Zhai Rongguang tomorrow, and after speaking, he walked to his room alone.
After dawn, Su Qin got up, and when he opened the door, he saw Zhai Rongguang standing outside the door, and there was Hua Qingwu standing with Zhai Rongguang.
Looking at the look on Zhai Rongguang's face, Su Qin knew that he might not have slept well all night, so he let the two into the house, and Su Qin poured a cup of tea for Zhai Rongguang and Hua Qingwu: "General Zhai, tell me the purpose of your trip." ”
"The master mother wants the young master to lead the troops north. ”
"The newly recruited soldiers still need to be trained, and the cold is not suitable for going north now. Su Qin was silent for a moment and spoke.
"The grain and grass in Xiliang City can still hold out for a while, Mangguo has now withdrawn its troops, if it can't capture Lihuo City after the beginning of spring, wait until Lu Tianxing has caught his breath, and then ...... I'm afraid it will be wasted. ”
"It's not that I'm going north, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. ”
"When does the young master think this is the right opportunity?" Looking at Su Qin, Zhai Rongguang frowned and asked.
Su Qin didn't answer, but looked up outside: "General Zhai, you should have seen what kind of life those civilians lived all the way here, right?"
"Now only by defeating Lu Tianxing can they live a better life, otherwise they will live in dire straits. ”
"Yes. Hearing Zhai Rongguang's words, Su Qin asked rhetorically: "The war is in chaos, and the people are not able to make a living, even if they win?" Su Qin said and shook his head: "Yes, we are fighting for our previous hatred." ”
"It's just that those civilians are revenge, who will avenge them?"
"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. ”
"So, General Zhai, tell them when you go back, I will go north, but I will have to wait a little longer. ”
"When?"
"When those soldiers are full of resentment and swear to take revenge. ”
