Night has come, the moon and stars are in the sky.

The entire cloud city is as bright as day.

The phoenix lanterns are flying all over the sky, and the phoenix lantern shadows are cruising on the lamp wall.

Floats parade through the streets, cloud platforms that show off rare treasures, jugglers, lantern riddles, and hawkers......

Pedestrians weave.

Jiang Anan sat in the largest phoenix lantern, with the phoenix lantern shadow in front of him, the stars in the sky when he looked up, and the fireworks in the world when he looked down.

In the past, Chinese New Year's Eve was in Fengxi Town, and the town was also very lively, with delicious food, red lanterns, and the sound of firecrackers...... On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, on the barren mountain, her brother set off fireworks for her.

It was the first time she had experienced such a grand and lively experience, as if in a beautiful dream of brilliance, which made her linger and forget her worries - she couldn't remember the endless writing for a while.

For Jiang An'an now, those copybooks are her only sorrow.

Ye Qingyu watched over from the side, pointing out some interesting places for her from time to time, and occasionally pinching the Dao Method, sprinkling light rain, and celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve with the people of Cloud City.

Jiang Anan smiled happily and brightly, and still asked in his busy schedule: "Where is my brother?"

"I don't know. Ye Qingyu was also puzzled: "Did you prepare a New Year's gift for you?"

"Oops. Jiang Anan hugged his little face expectantly: "I also want to prepare a New Year's gift for my brother." ”

"Then we'll go down and buy him a ...... Look over there!"

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

......

......

Innocent children are carefree.

The young man with the sword flew fast in the night, flew over Fenglin City, which had become a dead domain, flew over the Qingjiang River for eight hundred miles, flew over Wangjiang City, and flew towards Hualin County.

Zhuang Guo on Chinese New Year's Eve, there is not much festive atmosphere of the New Year, and the whole country is shrouded in a magnificent mood.

People are full of hatred for their neighbors in the north, and the great battle that took place in Yiyang Mansion in Yongguo touched the hearts of every Zhuangguo person. They anxiously awaited the outcome, eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Zhuang Guo dispatched a large army of 300,000 this time, and mobilized almost all military forces except for the necessary border garrison troops. The strikers had only broken through the defensive line, and the army behind had already followed.

Earlier, on the grounds of small-scale friction with foreign countries, the army was trained round after round in Hualin County, and it is probably until today that people with a heart can see the real reason.

Zhuang Gaoxian's national war against Yongguo has definitely been planned for a long time.

And the strange country that ceded the land of ten cities in World War I has long been not regarded as an important opponent by Zhuang Guo. If it weren't for the fact that the Moguo court paid a huge price and gained the support of the Qin State, it would have been broken by Zhuang Gaoxian and the Mowang Palace a long time ago.

So from the very beginning, the frictions on the border of Zhuang Mo and the trials of the new pawns were all just tricks, all for the preparation of this battle of Vayong.

It is said that the troops on the front line of Zhuang Mo are all trained and rotated in Hualin County, but in fact, how many troops are garrisoned in Hualin County, how many are dispatched, what are the routes of each department, and how many people are in Qinghe County, only the high-level of Zhuang Guo knows.

Before the start of the national war, a large number of troops were transferred to Qinghe County in the name of rotation.

Here, Zhuang Gaoxian smashed the dragon chair, and rushed to the crown in anger, and the army of the entire Zhuang country over there went down the mountain...... This is not something that can be prepared overnight. This kind of preparation may have even started many years ago, when Zhuang Gaoxian was still hiding in the deep palace to recuperate.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain this cohesion, this efficiency.

......

Sinanseong.

High candles were burning in the Wenhua Pavilion, and people were constantly coming in and out, or eunuchs or guards, passing all kinds of information.

There are six rows of tables in the pavilion, three rows on the left and three rows on the left. The officials who can speak in Xin'an City are all working hard here to complete one official job after another.

At the time of the national war, all kinds of affairs were anxious. Maintaining the operation of an army of 300,000 is not a simple matter.

The most important matters will be summed up and handed to the short-bearded middle-aged man who sits at the top.

Zhuang Guo's vice minister, sitting straight and upright, not smiling, occasionally moving his gaze, as if to penetrate people's hearts.

Behind him stood a young monk with a sword in his hand.

Everyone in the pavilion knows that this young monk with clear eyebrows and eyes is Li Jianqiu, the personal disciple of Deputy Prime Minister Dong A, who is said to have had a friendship between master and apprentice in the Daoist Academy of Fenglin City in his early years, and he is very respected by the Deputy Prime Minister.

Just look at Dong A's handling of official business, and from time to time he will whisper his opinion, which shows how attentive the cultivation is. Many people are secretly jealous.

You must know that Dong A, as the deputy prime minister, is in charge of criminal affairs, which can be said to be in his hands, and his status is not under the head of the Anti-Criminal Department. No matter how you calculate it, in the entire power structure of Zhuangguo, it can also be firmly ranked in the top ten.

This time, Zhuang Guo fought with the whole country, and Emperor Zhuang ordered Dong A to stay in Xin'an City and sit in the rear, which shows trust. It is regarded by many people as a signal to assume the next minister of state, and his status has surpassed that of the head of the Criminal Division, and the minister of civil and military affairs of the entire Zhuang State is probably only under the minister of state Du Ruhui and the general Huangfu Duanming.

You must know that Du Ruhui has paid too much for the entire Zhuang country, worked too hard, and enjoyed the national fortune of Zhuang Guo, but was more burdened by Zhuang Guo. Now Zhuang Guo is rising strongly. With such a top-level divine presence as him, it was time to unload his burden and focus on his cultivation. If you can break through the hole, it will be a greater luck for Zhuang Guo.

Du Ruhui himself has also expressed many times that he is interested in Dong A succeeding him as prime minister.

is valued by such a powerful person, this kid named Li Jianqiu, how much people hate him, it can be imagined.

"There should be nothing to do, leave ten guards on duty, and the others go back to rest first. ”

After approving the last official business, Dong Ah straightened up and walked out first: "I'll go and inspect the city affairs." ”

He knew that if he didn't go first, no one would dare to go and rest first.

A civil official immediately stood up and said, "How can you work for the vice-minister? ”

Dong Ayi waved his hand to stop him: "This battle will determine the fortune of the country for a hundred years, and you are all the pillars of the country. There are some things that I can do on my own. ”

The officials were also familiar with the character of the deputy prime minister, and knew that his decision would not change, and he was upright and did not like to be polite. No one persuaded me anymore. Ten officials were left on duty, and the others dispersed first. It is said that it is rest, but in fact, no one can rest, and every official has his own mess.

Zhuang Gaoxian made a desperate bet this time to fight the country, and even the White Feather Army was transferred to the front line, and Xin'an City was the most empty time.

Dong Ah must bow down to everything, and even inspect the city affairs in person, but he is afraid that everyone's minds are on the battlefield of Yongguo and ignore domestic affairs.

The head of the anti-criminal department with hidden whereabouts is quietly sitting on the front line of Zhuang Mo at this moment to prevent Mo from taking advantage of the situation. On the border adjacent to Chengguo, there are also armies that are ready.

Dong Ah walked on the wide streets of Sin'an City, thinking about a thousand things.

Li Jianqiu, who was following behind him, rarely spoke, and basically Dong A asked a question, and he only answered.

The long street stretched into the distance, between a row of houses that had sunk into darkness. In front of a house, a red lantern was hung.

In Xin'ancheng, which was immersed in the atmosphere of the national war, these two red lanterns that said goodbye to the old and welcomed the new were a little abrupt.

Untimely festivity.

"Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve. Dong Ah said.

On the frosty long street, Li Jianqiu let out a "hmm".
