In the harsh winter when the cold wind hits.

The ground was also frozen cold, so both vehicles and on foot had to be more careful than usual on such roads.

It stands to reason that in such a climate and on such days, few people will walk outside. However, the gates of Kitahara Castle are an exception.

There was a long queue at the two open gates, one for the carriages and horses, and the other for the people.

The people in the carriage were better, and the poor people in the queue had to fight the frost on their own.

However, in the face of such a situation, the faces of the people in line did not show much dissatisfaction, and most of them were still full of anticipation and excitement.

From time to time, the crowd could hear their chatter.

"Look at the lanterns on the city wall, they don't look like the ones that the Night Ranger sent to our village?"

"That's it, that's it, one thing."

"It's cold on the road, but it's much better when you get to the bottom of the city, just like around the shrine in the village."

"I last came back to Kitahara City a year ago, and obviously the city gate and city walls have not changed much, but it just feels different."

A row of red lanterns hangs above the city walls, fluttering in the wind, and it looks very festive. The magic is that the flames in these lanterns are shaking, burning visibly with the naked eye, and they are always gently and slowly shaking in the wind, and there is no sign of extinguishing, giving people a warm and gentle feeling.

Obviously, the wind outside the city is strong, especially the wind in the high places, and the light lantern should not be this posture.

This strange phenomenon adds a layer of mystery to Kitahara Castle.

On the other side, the procession of the city gates, which was responsible for the entry of the carriages, was a large and ornate one, and the carriage was pulled by three horses.

One hand pushed open the wooden window and curtain, revealing half of the elegant face.

Just looking at this person's fair complexion and the temperament of his eyebrows and eyes, he knows that this must be a rich kid.

He watched for a moment, then the other man in the carriage came closer.

"Yuan'er, what do you think of this scene?" Guan Feilian asked his beloved wife who was approaching.

Ruan Yuan whispered, "Lively."

Kwan said, "Yes, it's lively. It shouldn't have been so lively."

Ruan Yuan saw the smile on her husband's lips, "Isn't that right?"

Guan Feilian nodded, "Yes, that's right."

Ruan Yuan held his hand.

Guan Feilian felt the coolness of her palm and closed the window.

It didn't take long for their carriage to enter, and the city guards received their identity documents and were surprised to salute, but Guan Feilian waved his hand to stop them.

After they entered, the gate guards chatted with each other.

"Why is the Fu Yin of Qufeng City here?"

"Maybe it's to join in the fun?"

"Maybe it's something to do with Master Pei."

Qufeng City is also a border city, but the geographical location is slightly better than Beiyuan City, and Beiyuan City is a neighbor.

In the past, there was no contact between the two cities, and the route taken by the royal team last time was not Qufeng City, and no one came to Qufeng City.

Today, Guan Feilian, who is the Yin of Qufeng City Mansion, came in person, and Pei Yan quickly got the news.

Both sides are officials of the imperial court, and their official positions are similar, no matter what Guan Feilian is doing in Beiyuan City, and whether he is acting in a low-key manner, he must say hello to him, a local official.

Sure enough, without Pei Yan looking for it in person, it didn't take long to receive a post from Guan Feilian's door-to-door visit.

….

He went to greet him in person, and what he saw was not Guan Feilian alone, but also a young woman wearing a hood.

Pei Xuan guessed the identity of the young woman - it is often heard that Guan Feilian and his wife have known each other since childhood, knew each other when they were young, and fell in love with each other until they got married as adults, they are really a rare couple in Yiguo, no matter where Guan Feilian goes, he will take his wife with him.

After the two sides met, Pei Yan invited the two to the house.

After a quarter of an hour of polite exchanges, the conversation between the two sides was quite harmonious.

Because Guan Feilian didn't play dumb riddles, he bluntly said that the purpose of his coming to Beiyuan City was to come and see. Take a look at the changes in Kitahara Castle and see what there is to learn from

Square.

He had already determined that there would be a cold snap this year, and Qufeng City was also eroding the realm by the cold snap, even if it was on the edge, it would still bring a heavy blow to the people in charge of the realm.

It would be great if Kitahara Castle could have some way to resist the cold snap.

Guan Feilian didn't mean to take it for nothing, so he asked Pei Yan to bargain, and everything was easy to discuss.

Pei Yan saw Guan Feilian talking about the erosion of the cold snap and the suffering of the people, the sad look didn't seem to be fake, and then he remembered the sadness and hardship of the cold snap in the border city, but these are no longer problems on the side of Beiyuan City.

"This ...... If you want to say the law, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but it's not available to everyone." Pei Yan saw Guan Feilian's love for the people, so he told him about the recent situation in Beiyuan City.

The night tour envoys went to send warmth to the surrounding people, and the materials sent were magical things such as stoves and lanterns from the Siye Mansion, and other mundane materials were donated by the city's powerful partners.

Partnership donation is not a new thing on the side of the Haoqiang family in Beiyuan City.

But if there is any movement in the Ye Mansion of Fansi, these powerful families are rushing up to participate, not afraid that you will ask for it, but afraid that you will not accept it.

It's a shame to say that he, the governor of the mansion, also has a good reputation in this matter, but he doesn't donate much (his family is not rich in gifts and greedy things), so he has to take over all kinds of affairs in the city to break the cold night festival and strive to be perfect.

Guan Feilian was silent when he heard that the families in Beiyuan City took the initiative to donate materials, and the amount of materials was still quite a lot.

In fact, there are always some powerful families in each realm who have a large share of resources, and if these people are willing to lend a hand, they can save more people. But most Haoqiang are not willing to do loss-making business, and they can't force each other to do so.

'If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world, and there are always a few people who can do this.

"It's really admirable that Lord Pei can make the heroes in the city so respectful and manage the city so benevolently." Ruan Yuan got up and said goodbye to Pei Xuan.

Pei Yan hurriedly got up to stop her, "Mrs. Guan, please take a seat, Madame is serious, this is not Pei's ability."

When the two talked before, Ruan Yuan was quiet and didn't speak, who wanted to come suddenly.

After Pei Yan asked Ruan Yuan to sit down, he hurriedly explained that everything was the work of Si Yefu, and the heroes in the city also looked at the face of Si Yefu, and he was just following the pace of Si Yefu.

When he said this, Pei Yan didn't have any self-shame, and he didn't care what Guan Feilian thought, anyway, he was already one of the devout disciples of the Night Wandering God, and he was not ashamed to follow the movements of Si Yefu, but also proud.

Guan Feilian asked Pei Yan, "Can you please introduce Master Pei to Master Mi of Si Yefu for the two of us?"

Pei Yan didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, Mi August's expression became serious, "It's not a problem if Lord Guan wants to see Director Shen, but Lord Mi doesn't want to see him, and if there is nothing important, it's best not to bother."

In Pei Yan's opinion, many mundane matters are nothing to Mi August, and she should not be bothered with these things, "The former Governor Jiang of the Lingzhi Mansion, as well as the female general General Jiang, and Mr. Emperor Xi...... They are all in the Si Ye Mansion, and Lord Guan can actually find them if he has any problems."

It means don't bother Mi August.

Although Guan Feilian had heard about it for a long time, he was still a little unstable when he heard so many big people gather in the border city Siye Mansion.

He thought for a moment and then followed Pei Yan's words, said goodbye to him and went to Si Yefu.

In the past few days, Mi August has been in Siye Mansion, and when he has just finished a study and taken a temporary break, the palace spirit housekeeper sent an envelope with a very thick thickness, saying that it was sent by a person named Guan Feilian from Beicheng Mansion Yin, and the envelope was signed by Mi Yixian.
