"The hour has come, shall we go?" Mo Min stood up and opened the curtains to take a look, the small courtyard was silent, and the lights in the other rooms were extinguished.

"Don't worry, there is still an hour before the handover, and I just have something to say. Come, sit down. Mo Cong shook his head and motioned with his eyes for her to sit back on the stool.

"Can you please finish it all at once? Mo Min was anxious about the old man's safety, and couldn't wait to go out immediately, seeing Mo Cong so rubbing, he couldn't help complaining.

"I came here today to see how you are doing, whether you have found any news, and secondly, I have made a special trip to say goodbye to you. Mo Cong looked at Mo Xiao, and then at Mo Min.

"Farewell?" Mo Min was stunned, "Where are you going?"

"The northern border pass is in an emergency, and our 3rd Left Guard Battalion has been ordered to reinforce the Northern Route Army, which will start early tomorrow morning. Mo Cong smiled, his face couldn't hide the excitement.

Protecting the family and the people is the responsibility shouldered by generations of Lingyun Mountain people. Now that Mo Cong is about to go to the border, and the kung fu he has learned for more than ten years is about to be useful, Mo Cong is naturally excited.

"Ah, so urgent?" Mo Min was surprised, "Then when will you come back?"

"That's not a good idea. Mo Cong shook his head, "The war together, maybe it will be resolved quickly, or it may be protracted." But in any case, it's not for me to decide. ”

"I heard that the battlefield is very dangerous, arrows are raining down, guns are like a forest, you must pay attention to safety, don't take risks at every turn. Mo Min reminded worriedly.

In the past few months at Shangpinxiang Restaurant, the guests of the three religions and nine streams have been talking about all kinds of things every day, and things on the battlefield are no exception.

When Mo Min heard these remarks, he couldn't help but worry about Mo Cong, who had joined the Central Army, but at this time, Mo Cong said that he was about to go to the battlefield, and this worry was even more in his throat.

"Those ordinary swords and arrows on the battlefield can't hurt me, so don't worry!" Mo Cong saw the concern in her eyes, so he nodded comfortingly. "The old man's affairs will depend on you and the eldest brother to find it for the time being. Remember to beware of the city defense crossbow and tracking techniques I mentioned earlier, and make sure to keep yourself safe. Write to me as soon as there is news. If there is an emergency, you can also go directly to the Northern Route Army to find me. Mo Cong told the two about the contact information in the army.

In Sweden, the war was often protracted, and the soldiers at the front could only keep in touch with their families by letters. In the war, family letters are worth 10,000 gold, and the imperial court generally has to ensure smooth communication in order to let the soldiers fight with peace of mind at the front.

Of course, in many cases, due to the need for confidentiality, it is generally impossible for family members to know in advance where their relatives who join the army are going, and they only gradually begin to contact after the letters from the battlefield are returned, and it is rare for the three brothers and sisters to inform them in advance.

The three chatted for a while, and Mo Cong asked Mo Min to practice hard, not to live up to the old man's high expectations, and asked Mo Xiao not to obediently let those cooks call and drink, and really reduced himself to a subordinate. Mo Min Mo smiled and nodded in agreement, and asked Mo Cong to be cherished on the battlefield.

Seeing that the hour was approaching, the three of them turned off the lights and left the room and gently jumped out of the small courtyard.

There is no moon in the sky, and the blue stars are scarce at night. The three of them chose their own directions, and then they jumped onto the big trees on the side of the road and flew away.

Mo Xiao's body was like electricity, and with a slight use of his toes on the bare tree tips, a few ups and downs disappeared.

Mo Cong and Mo Min also acted in accordance with the law, and leaped briskly between the treetops.

On the long street, a group of Yulin guards and gendarmes patrolled back and forth with torches in hand, but they did not find any afterimages that flashed in the night sky......

As the hour approached, the sound of firecrackers sounded in the capital, which was sparse at first, but slowly became more and more dense. With the sound of a bang, all kinds of crackling firecrackers rang out in the earth, and fireworks of various colors also swept into the night sky with a sharp whistling.

The city bids farewell to the old and welcomes the new, and it is festive and peaceful.

In the backyard of Shangpinxiang Restaurant, Xiaobeizi secretly ran out of the room, holding two firecrackers in his hands.

Xiao Beizi is fifteen years old this year, the youngest among several guys, and he has the heaviest heart for playing. At this moment, everyone else was asleep, but he was so worried about his firecrackers that he immediately ran out when he heard the movement outside.

He gently opened the door and lit the firecrackers with sandalwood, and the crisp sound of firecrackers rang in his ears in an instant, crackling and bursting in all directions. He dodged from afar, listening to his masterpiece while looking up at the colorful fireworks in the night sky.

Shout...

A clear whistling sound came from the clouds, long and endless, like a dragon's groan.

In mid-air, a bright spot popped open with a thud and bloomed into a white flower. The flowers bloomed bigger and bigger, and stayed in the night sky for a while before slowly falling, like shooting stars in the sky.

"Whose firecrackers are this, so loud and so beautiful?" Xiao Beizi looked envious, raised his head and muttered to himself.

Before he finished speaking, another whistle came from the sky, and the voice was cheerful and smart, like the chirping of a phoenix. With this whistling sound, several more fireworks burst into the night sky one after another, and it was not clear for a moment which fireworks were emitting the whistling sound when they were lifted into the air.

"This ......" Xiao Beizi had never heard such a nice sound of firecrackers, and was stunned for a while.

Shout...

After a moment's hesitation, a clear whistling sound sounded in the distance. This time, Xiaobeizi was already numb and completely ignored a detail.

After this whistling, there were no fireworks in the night sky......

※※※

On a high post outside the east gate, Mo Cong stood on the top of a big tree, staring at the fireworks in the sky.

The cold wind swayed the branches, and Mo Cong's figure swayed slightly.

"What's the matter? Is the old man really not in the capital?" he muttered to himself after waiting for a long time to respond.

More than two months ago, Chen Ruoping's friend came with news about the old man, saying that there was no such person. According to Chen Ruoping's friend's analysis, the old man they were looking for was either not in the capital, or had passed away due to an accident.

For the latter, Mo Cong has never been able to accept or believe it, whether it is emotionally or from the perception of the old man's kung fu.

Minutes and seconds passed.

In the capital, the brilliant fireworks and deafening firecrackers gradually stopped, but the expected response never appeared.

"Old man, where are you?" Looking up at the starry sky, Mo Cong sighed leisurely: "Hey, the New Year is here, no matter where you are, I wish you peace and security." Plus, I'm going north soon. Old man, just wait for the news of my triumphant return......"

He stood there for a long time and sighed. Turning around a few times up and down, the black back quickly disappeared into the deep night.
