In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Nanxiao died of illness, and the crown prince ascended the throne.

Emperor Zhongwu led his troops to march in person, accompanied by Hong Xiaoyu, Feng Qiao, Zhou Tianxing, and Xie Yun, Jiangling and Ezhou thorns in the history of the battle, and the Southern Xiao army was defeated, and Emperor Zhongwu defended Jiangling and Ezhou with 50,000 elite soldiers, and the rest of the army went straight into the hinterland of Southern Xiao.

In the same year, Empress Luo gave birth to a son.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Zhongwu ordered 200,000 troops to advance by land and water, and directly attacked Lin'an, the capital of Southern Xiao.

In the third year of Zhenguan, Jia Dao, the traitor of Southern Xiao, led his troops to Wuhu, and sent envoys to the account of King Chen of Northern Chen to negotiate peace, asking for permission for Southern Xiao to claim the title of minister to pay money, but Emperor Zhongwu did not allow it.

Then, Northern Chen defeated Sun Hu, the general of Southern Xiao, and broke the Southern Xiao naval army in Lugang, and Jia Dao fled to Yangzhou by boat. At this point, the main force of the Nanxiao Water Army was wiped out.

The new emperor of Nanxiao called on the king of the world to be diligent, and there were very few responders. In the same year, Zhenjiang, Ningguo, Longxing, Jiangyin and other places abandoned the city and fled. The Taiping, Hezhou, and Wuwei guards surrendered one after another, and there were still Chizhou convicted of self-hanging with his wife.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Zhongwu led a large army to besiege Lin'an, and in March, Lin'an broke and captured the new emperor of Southern Xiao.

The remnants of Nanxiao fled south with the prince, and the Fuzhou guards surrendered to Chen, set up an ambush to capture Jia Dao and the prince, and sacrificed them to Lin'an.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Zhongwu led the army back to Zhongzhou and rewarded the meritorious ministers.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Queen Luo gave birth to a daughter.

In the twentieth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Zhongwu passed on the crown prince.

.......

From Xizhou, cross Tongguan, cross the Yellow River, and finally arrive at Yanmen Pass.

Shi Yi pushed open the curtain of the carriage, looked out, Yanmen Gusai stood on the steep Yanmen Mountain Ridge, winding on the Great Wall on the top of the mountain, the snow had not yet melted in the spring, and from a distance, it was like a white belt connecting Yanmen Mountain, Mantou Mountain, and Caoduo Mountain.

Shi Yi looked at this fortress full of stories from afar, and connected the various stories he saw in the book.

The Great Wall was built, Zhaojun was out of the fortress, and Hu and Han fought for each other.....

Thoughts flew into the distance.

He Tian looked at Shi Yi who was in a daze, sat down with a smile, hugged her from behind and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Shi Yi came back to his senses, turned his head and replied with a smile: "I'm thinking about the story that happened in this land." ”

He Tian gently lowered his head and kissed Shi Yi, and said in a doting tone: "Then you think slowly." I was busy with government politics before, and I always didn't count in the end when I said I would take you out for a walk. Now that I'm older, I have time to take you all over the world. ”

Shi Yi nodded happily and said, "Then I'm going to see the places you have been to in the past few years." ”

I'm going to see all the scenery you've seen.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Also, you promised to take me to pick the pomegranates in Tulin, and you must also remember."

"Okay, I've calculated the route, and by August this year, when the pomegranates are just ripe over there, we should be almost at Tulin, and you can pick as many as you want by then."

"And ......"

"Master, master, it's here, get off the carriage."

Feng Qiao outside the carriage shouted.

He Tian and Shi Yi glanced at each other with a smile, and He Tian put on a fox fur for Shi Yi: "It's just spring, and the climate here is still cold, so pay attention to keeping warm." ”

After speaking, he led Shi Yi out of the carriage.

Feng Qiao, Xie Yun, Luo Feng and Hong Xiaoyu had already dismounted and waited beside them.

Hong Xiaoyu opened his mouth and said, "Master, I have already sent someone to inform Tianxing, and it should be there soon." ”

He Tian nodded, there has been a lot of movement of the Hu people outside Yanmen Pass in recent years, and Zhou Tianxing ordered himself to be stationed here, and it has been almost four years.

He Tian and a few people are considered to be micro-service private visits, and they don't want too many people to know the itinerary, so they need Zhou Tianxing to come to Yanmen Pass to respond.

He Tian didn't want to alarm the local officials, the battle was too big, which affected the mood of several people.

A few people had nothing to do, and they started chatting.

Feng Qiao said to Hong Xiaoyu with a worried face: "Senior sister, you said that I came out both, will Xie Yu's stinky boy have trouble with Rulan?" ”

Xie Yu is the eldest son of Feng Qiao and Xie Yunsheng, in addition to Xie Yu, the two also have a little daughter Xie Mingda, who has just turned seven years old.

Rulan's full name is Luo Rulan, the eldest daughter of Luo Feng and Hong Xiaoyu, she grew up with Xie Yu since she was a child, and she is a childhood sweetheart, but when she was a child, the two would always have trouble when they met, either you robbed me of my toys, or I took your snacks, but I didn't expect to look at each other when I grew up and didn't know how, and became relatives last year.

Hong Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "Senior sister, you don't have to worry, although the two of them always fought when they were children, but now that Rulan is pregnant, Xie Yu holds her in the palm of his hand every day and coaxes her, even if Rulan wants to quarrel, Xie Yu will never dare to fight back." ”

Xie Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, you always took care of us when we were children, but I didn't expect that your daughter is still in charge of our son." ”

Shi Yi and He Tian were happy next to her, Luo Rulan, this girl really doesn't look like she came out of Luo's family, because she is the first girl of the next generation, she is spoiled by everyone, especially Feng Qiao, who loves him so much, and his current appearance is eight or nine times out of ten to blame Feng Qiao's head.

He Tian and Shi Yi both listened to Xie Yun several times, and Feng Qiao knew that her son and Rulan were so happy when they looked at each other that they accidentally fell because of this.

Shi Yi was also a little worried about the two children who stayed in the palace, but when he turned his head and thought about it, his son was assisted by the ministers carefully selected by him, and his daughter was accompanied by A-Niang who often entered the palace, as well as Cheng Xi's care, and his heart slowly calmed down.

After thinking for a while, he changed the topic and asked, "Xianggong, how is General Xiao now?" Didn't you make a special trip to Qinglong Temple to see him before you left? ”

He Tian replied with a smile: "You still can't change your mouth, now you can't be called General Xiao, you have to call Master Yuankong." He adopted a large number of orphans, and usually led them to plant vegetables in the mountains behind the Qinglong Temple, and sometimes explained the scriptures to pilgrims. ”

After Xiao Yan perished in Nanxiao, he still chose to enter the Buddhist temple, and He Tian also built a temple for him in Xizhou as promised, and Shi Yi personally inscribed the name, Qinglong Temple.

"And what about his children?"

"His son continued his title, did well in the fiefdom, and was well received by the people. As for his daughter, she got married a few years ago, and I heard that her life is now good. ”

Shi Yi smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and everyone followed the voice, and Zhou Tianxing was galloping towards this side on a horse.....

.........

Forty years.

Shi Yi, who was already gray-haired, was lying on the bed, He Tian was holding her hand on the side, and two children and a bunch of grandchildren knelt behind He Tian.

Shi Yi seemed to be back to the light, his mental state was much better than a few days ago, and he looked at He Tian with a smile and said: "Xianggong, I have read so many books in my life, and my two favorite sentences, do you remember what they are?" ”

He Tian, who was also old, patted her hand and said, "Of course I remember." ”

Shi Yi's spirit began to deteriorate, and his voice became a little weak, but he still smiled and said, "Then can you read it to me again." ”

He Tian's eyes were filled with fog, and he choked up and said: "The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but that person was in the lamplight." ”

This sentence was a birthday gift from He Tian when Shi Yi first came to Xizhou, but he didn't dare to confess his heart at that time, so he deliberately left the last two sentences and didn't write them, Shi Yi guessed for many years and didn't guess what it was, until He told her after the two got married.

Shi Yi's hand squeezed He Tian's hand hard, looking at him with expectant eyes.

He Tian gently put his head close to Shi Yi's ear and read out the second sentence.

"The color gives the soul and, the heart is happy on the side."
