Twelve years of Tianjing.

November.

The cold and dry cold wind swept across the northern land, bringing a hearty snow to this long-suffering land, as if to freeze all the disputes and grievances that occurred in this land, and also froze the hearts of people who were about to move.

on the wasteland.

A group of wolves rode across the endless snowfield.

Among them, two male wolves were as strong as horses, with white spots on their foreheads, and their bodies were well-proportioned, and their thick black and white hair made these two Harry Steppenwolves look like they were wearing dog-like armor, and they looked particularly handsome. I saw them wearing reins on their heads, easily dragging a sleigh on the snow, snorting out a note of white mist, as fast as a tiger, without effort.

On the sleigh, a tall old man wrapped in a heavy fur, with eyes like a rectangular eye, seems to be able to see through the wind and snow, and see the bustle and prosperity behind the wall of sighs.

The warriors of the clan rode wolf rides, guarding the old man of the sleigh.

Fortunately, the vast wasteland is not as lonely and desolate as in the past, and in the snowy night, a "road" stepped out by the footprints runs through the snowfield, through the canyon, and goes straight to the capital of the Daqian Dynasty.

Along the way, the lights of the post station can be faintly seen, and the hot breath is poured into the sky, bringing a little bit of warmth and light to this lonely wasteland.

Samba had a smile of joy on his face.

Every time he walked this "trade route", it was like being in a dream, and he couldn't believe it.

This trade route was opened by the wolf king's good son-in-law, the young general, and many post stations were built along the way. Now the road to Beiban is no longer dangerous and bad, and the heavy snow on the wasteland is less cold and more humane because of the lights of this post station.

Thirty years ago, the fight with Zheng Haoran in the wasteland is still vivid.

All these "changes" made the wolf king sigh.

This road is called "Glacier".

The wolf king brought a full twenty jars of barbarian characteristic tonic wine this time.

He wanted to be drunk with Zheng Haoran after a long absence.

……

December.

Jingtang Town.

It is a place where there is no quarrel with the world, and it is like a paradise away from strife.

In the hearts of the local people, this town located on the plateau is like all their "heaven", they don't need to know what's outside the world, they just need to live a small life under the sky.

Boom Boom –

An earthquake swept through the town of Jingtang without warning, and the local people stood on the ground and staggered, and after a while, everyone invariably had the illusion that something had "crawled" through the soil under their feet.

The brief "earthquake" did not bring a devastating blow to the town as a natural disaster – not even friction. The frightened people of Jingtang Town walked out of the house one after another.

After a while, someone pointed to the snow-capped Tianyin Mountain in surprise and was speechless.

On the mist-shrouded Tianyin Mountain, after the earthquake, a deep ravine seemed to split the mountain peak in half.

Looking closely, the ravine looked like some kind of creature, crawling over it.

……

Since the "Edict of Abdication" was announced to the world, although the first empress in history has not yet officially ascended the throne, this matter has spread all over the world, the eldest princess's achievements over the years are obvious to all, the people's aspirations, and the people are waiting for this day with anticipation.

The historians and civil officials of the DPRK and China, with their hair falling down in handfuls, flipped through the history books and literary words overnight, hoping to set a resounding national name and leave a resounding name for the "empress ascending the throne", a "major event" that is enough to be famous in the annals of history.

In the end, it was the empress herself who was about to ascend the throne who set the name of the country and the emperor.

Emperor Wei Cao.

Country name: Open Heaven.

At the end of the twelfth year of Tianjing, the young emperor, who had officially been the emperor for twelve years, quietly withdrew from the curtain of history.

Emperor Wei Cao, Wei Ruyi always recited this emperor name, and would always involuntarily associate with the homonym of "Wei Zhaodi", and she even asked her brother half-seriously and half-jokingly in the dead of night when she was undisturbed and invited her brother to drink wine to the moon, half-seriously and half-jokingly asked her brother if he wanted to have a son and wanted to go crazy.

In this regard, Zheng Xiu just shook his head and smiled, but did not speak.

As for the country name "Kaitian".

Zheng Xiu only nodded vigorously: "Well, it's Kaitian." ”

The last day of the Tianjing calendar.

Zheng Xiu held a small reunion banquet at home in a low-key manner.

Chef He pushed Zheng Xiu, who wanted to help, out of the kitchen, slammed the kitchen door, and hung up a small wooden sign that said "General Zheng Shao and cats are not allowed to enter".

Yue Linglong was on the corridor, looking at her husband who was deflated because she was kicked out of the kitchen, she covered her mouth and smiled, and she walked lightly, wanting to step forward and take her husband's hand to comfort her, but at the last moment, she withdrew her cold little hand with a gloomy face. The experiences, dreams, and retrospectives over the years, the "picture scroll" that has not actually appeared in front of her, but always lingers in her mind in midnight dreams, all remind Zheng Xiu that the person she has been looking for all these years is not her. She is like a substitute for "someone", born in this era of peace "just in time", became the daughter of the wolf king "by chance", married into the Zheng family "by mistake", and became Zheng Xiu's pillow person, that's all. She is barren, she cannot give even the simplest warmth, she is not a good wife. Is all this a dream that you can't wake up from? Yue Linglong can always dream of something that has never happened. She looked at her husband from afar who mingled with a gluttonous orange cat, it seemed that in her impression, Zheng Xiu's side would always be the only cat, and her husband was lonely in his heart, Yue Linglong knew it very well. "Over the years, I've suffered you." Until, in a trance, Zheng Xiu suddenly came to Yue Linglong and held her cold hand.

Maybe "what you can't get is always the best", at the strong request of Lady Anne, Zheng Xiu specially instructed Chef He to cook a pot of fried fish cakes that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. But in Anne's heart, no matter who makes the fried fish cakes, there is no "taste of Fengbei". What condiments Fengbei added to the fried fish cake is still a mystery. This is perhaps the biggest confusion of the omnipotent super she-cat today.

In their respective rooms, the four tiger and wolf maidservants took out a dusty box under the bed, which contained a "musical instrument" that they had accidentally met on the street, but somehow liked. They vaguely feel that they are good at playing and singing, and the familiar but unfamiliar melodies linger in their ears for many years, and they still don't remember where the songs came from and what they meant.

Wipe the instrument clean, they carried the instrument out of the door, saw the sisters who were also carrying the instrument, stunned each other, and then smiled, the ripples in their eyes, this scene seemed to have happened a long, long, long time before.

Lead-filled snow clouds gloomy in the night sky, but they don't give people a sense of oppression. The clouds of varying thicknesses are reflected in the moonlight, showing a flickering light and shadow.

The snow fell, paving a layer of tranquility for the capital city, which had gradually ceased to be hustle and bustle.

Houses are lit up with warm lights, and street children are still playing and chasing each other, stacking the snow into various shapes.

Qing 13 and Ji Hongrong snuggled up to each other on the roof, quietly enjoying the rare silence.

Qing Shisan, who was proud of the spring breeze, laughed from time to time, which was so elegant that Ji Honglian was so angry that he sprinkled a handful of powder on Qing Shisan's face, and in the blink of an eye, his face was full of painless red rashes.

After the end, the two were panting, holding hands and clasping their fingers.

"It was like I had a big dream, and it didn't seem like it was real."

Ji Hongrong closed her eyes and sighed softly.

"Coincidentally, so did I." Qing 13 looked at the back of the Zheng family and his wife holding hands in the corridor and quietly admiring the clouds and snow, muttered for a moment, raised the palm of the ten fingers clasped, and grinned: "I always feel that I used to play with a weapon called the 'Hidden Blade', and once it rebounded quickly and cut off the ring finger. ”

Ji Hongrong was stunned when she heard this, and Qing Shisan seemed to be recalling: "What's even stranger is that after cutting off the ring finger, I seem to have seen it...... Something different. ”

"It's okay to cut your fingers, what's the trouble."

Ji Hongrong dissatisfiedly picked at the red rash on Qing Shisan's face, which meant that Qing Shisan's words were unlucky.

Looking at Ji Honglotus's pretty face that could be broken by blowing bullets, Qing Thirteen was emotional, and his face full of rashes slowly approached.

Ji Hongrong was slightly stunned, her heart was nerd, she closed her eyes, and acted shyly.

Boom!

Boom!

A loud bang came from behind them, and the heads of the two of them, who were almost attached to each other, suddenly pulled back. Looking back, a tall rough man hurriedly lifted his leg from the hole in the roof, touched his head with long and short hair, and smiled awkwardly: "Uh, sorry, sorry! The baby at home, crying and crying, the stinky woman refused to let Lao Tzu go out, saying yes and no let me put the baby to sleep, and also gave Lao Tzu a whole cry and two troubles and three hangings, I said that tonight is not ordinary, the reunion dinner, Lao Tzu said that he had to join in the fun, she refused, Lao Tzu was furious, and he was willing to ...... until he forced Lao Tzu to arch the old ladies humming and chirping" explained for a long time, Ji Honglian and Qing 13 showed strange eyes, and Pei Gaoya, who stepped on the roof, patted his head: "This ...... Did I say that before? ”

The three of them looked at each other, and after a while, the hearty laughter of the three came from the rooftop.

Zheng Mansion has guests visiting from time to time, and knocking on the door is continuous. First was Jiang Gaoyi and his wife, followed by the "great writer" Mo Fuzi, who was famous all over the world with an article "The Prisoner Says", and then Lang Zhong Scar, who cured Qing Shisan's legs in "a certain time", and later Situ Yong, the divine doctor in the city. The two famous doctors in the city met, greeted each other, one was a senior, the other said that he didn't dare to be, and he gave his hands to go, humbly let the half-astronomical acid rush to the sky, Jiang Gaoyi couldn't stand it anymore, and casually mentioned that Scar Lao Liu and Situ Yong actually worshiped brothers on the spot, and decided to merge the medical hall, which was like a good thing at first sight.

There was a knock on the door again, but it was the two sisters Ye and Snake who were dressed in disguise.

In front of everyone, the snake reluctantly took off his hood, revealing a strange face like a snake, Chun Tao was wearing a festive red shirt, and dragged the snake and Ye sisters to the corner with a "good handsome girl", knocking melon seeds and asking Gui Geng this year, the geometry of the family, whether you want to be a person, our son is in the prime of life, do you like Yunyun, and call the two sisters red-faced and red-eared, reverie, only a word to ask them if they want to be Zheng Er Zheng and Zheng San's young lady.

The antique dining room is brightly lit, and the host guests are seated one after another as dishes are served to the round table. Zheng Haoran was full of red light, sitting on the main seat, looking at a small pot of wine in front of him, excitedly rubbing his palms, snorting as thick as a cow, on the side of the spring peach and several female relatives to see each other late, only to set the major events of life, seeing that the husband was like this, the sharp gaze was like a sharp sword scraping, Zheng Haoran suddenly shuddered, glanced back, the bull qi withered most of the sky, the index finger and thumb pinched, and signaled to Mrs. to drink "a little bit" tonight.

"Huh~Human."

Lady Anne crouched by the charcoal fire, feeling the warm atmosphere of reunion in the room, showing disdain, raising her proud head, and sneering. Boom! Chef He passed by and placed a pot of freshly baked and fragrant fish cakes in front of Lady Anne.

"Human beings, being able to make fishcakes for the great, extraordinary, and supreme Anne will add a shining resume to your ordinary and boring life."

Mistress Anne's disdainful face instantly distorted into the shape of a licking dog, wagging her tail happily, raising her hand to grab a piece of fried fish cake and stuffing it into her mouth, making a continuous clicking sound.

Chef He fed the cat at the young master's orders, and the orange cat meowed at him stupidly, and Chef He plucked out his ears in a daze—he felt that he had a strange auditory hallucination.

Bang bang, there was another knock outside the door, and everyone in the house was stunned, who else is there tonight? Chun Tao went to open the door, and when she came back, she turned to the side and smiled and smiled at the visitors.

The dusty wolf king and his entourage, with a group of wolves and elites, entered the Zheng family, which instantly made the spacious Zheng family seem crowded.

Zheng Haoran looked at the visitor blankly, and the wind rose, like lightning swept over the round table, and in the next second, the two and a half hundred old men, the two who had fought with their lives on the battlefield, stood face to face for a while, Zheng Haoran didn't say a word, and raised the old but powerful fist with a smile.

The wolf king was stunned for a moment, and his cloudy eyes flashed with a long-lost look.

Thirty years later, the two fists collided together with a thud.

The clouds disperse and the snow stops. It seems to have been rushed away by this punch.

The original small reunion banquet was changed from one table to three tables due to the addition of the wolf king and his party, and Chef He opened five pots together, twitching in the kitchen like crazy, eager to grow a few more hands to stir-fry vegetables, and after half an hour, Chef He was exhausted and brought out two more tables of dishes.

In the courtyard, four Zheng maidservants with musical instruments, Qin Xiao Gezheng, made a tinkling sound from time to time, but it has not become a tune for a long time.

The four girls looked at the room full of people, and felt empty inexplicably in their hearts, this scene seemed familiar and nostalgic, but they always felt that something was missing, a trace of hesitation and doubts entangled in their hearts, so that they couldn't play the song in their dreams for a long time.

What's missing?

The orange cat, who was burying his head in hard work, suddenly raised his head and meowed.

Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, and in the curious eyes of everyone, he straightened up and went out to greet the guests.

When the person who came took off his hat, Jiang Gaoyi was scared, and he wanted to worship: "Chenjiang Gaoyi ......"

"Shhh

Xi'er raised her ten fingers, swished, and invisible silk threads popped out of her sleeves, instantly hanging Jiang Gaoyi in the air, and sealing his mouth.

"Ding-dong."

I don't know who, plucked the strings, played the notes.

The moment the fourth girl saw Wei Ruyi appear here, a song sounded in her heart.

A song expresses joy and sorrow,

A song that has been played for thousands of years.

"Open the meal! Tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return! As I said, this time, no one can stop it! ”

In the gentle and soft music, the old man waved his hand and secretly glanced at his wife.

Side

Listening to the music and looking at everyone, Zheng Xiu smiled knowingly, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this rare tranquility and reunion.
