Chapter 77
The long night is long, and there will be an end.

A ray of sunlight sprinkled on the ground, and the dewdrops on the leaves fell to the ground, breaking the tranquility of the new day.

The venue in front of the cultural conference venue was also extremely lively at the moment. Although the sky had not completely let up, the place was already filled with expectant crowds.

According to the practice of the previous Wenhui, the next day after the Literary Examination, the results of the previous day's Literary Examination will be announced, and then the top three question papers of the upper class will be announced for people to read. Come and let many students understand the gap.

This practice has been maintained for hundreds of years, so these people are gathered here at this moment. They want to know what their grades are, and at the same time, they also want to know who is in the top ten and what school they belong to. In the end, they are convinced.

As the crowd in front dispersed, several great masters from various schools of thought came out from the literary meeting venue, holding a few papers in their hands.

"Open the list!"

Following an order, the sergeants on both sides slowly took the rice paper in their hands, and then carefully pasted it on top for people to read.

"Sure enough, I said that among the top three, there must be a Taoist little Taibai!"

"Hey, then I also said that there is a Confucian little literary sage. Look, isn't it there?"

"Strange, strange!"

"Why is it strange?"

"Look, among the top three this year, Confucianism has only two people. How is that not surprising! How can it not be strange!"

"Who is Ye Wushuang......"

"For dealing with it, I also want to ask, when did this Confucianism produce Ye Wushuang? Who is it?"

In the arena, when the question papers of the top three on the list were posted, everyone looked at the names in front of them, and at the same time, they felt incredible.

This time, Confucianism was the top three among the top three, and it won two in one go.

And Ye Wushuang, who is among the top three, is not known by most people, which arouses their curiosity.

"It turns out that this question can be answered in this way, why didn't I think of it!"

"It's wonderful. In the past, we discussed it from the positive side, but this Ye Wushuang took a unique approach, discussing it from the negative side, without delineating the scope, and only listing the negative side to define the positive side. It's wonderful!"

"Same feeling, suddenly enlightened!"

"Is there any enlightenment!"

Looking at the answers on the question paper, some of the disappointment in the hearts of many students disappeared.In their opinion, this way of answering questions is refreshing and attractive.

Among the crowd, only a few people didn't care much about the results on this list, but they became interested in Ye Wushuang instead.

"Ye Wushuang? Daxia Ye family?"

Someone murmured, then glanced at the list and then paced away.

In less than a moment, the list of the top three in the literary examination began to be circulated throughout the second pass of the Great Xia, and Confucianism monopolized two places, which has become a good story.

"congratulations!"

"I can't see it. You have the courage of your grandfather!"

In Ye Wushuang's small courtyard, the old Taoist priest and the old farmer came to congratulate them, and they were also surprised when they knew the name of the top three.

Looking at the engraved answers carefully, they also feel that their eyes are refreshed, and after thinking about it carefully, they feel that the charm is endless, as if they have opened up a new world.

"A new generation replaces the old!"

The old man Nong sighed. Compared with the other two, he felt that Ye Wushuang's test paper was better. Although the three of them had their own unique insights, Ye Wushuang's answer was obviously a bit more clever when it came to how to define a gentleman.

After this publicity, Ye Wushuang's name gradually spread in the Second Pass City, and also spread among various schools of thought.

People from all schools of thought also sent the results of this essay test back to all schools of thought as quickly as possible.

Daxia Kyoto, in an inn.

After tidying up and washing, Ye Bianyun once again began to arrange his clothes and hair according to the copper environment. Even though his wife had helped him arrange it several times, he still felt that there were still flaws.

"Daddy. When are we going to see Grandpa?"

"It's coming soon!"

Ye Bianyun hugged Ye Wuxue, and then walked out of the inn with his wife.

Outside the door, the servants of the family have packed everything and are waiting here with their horses.

"master."

"Let's go."

Ye Bianyun's heart trembled, and his words trembled.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and his heart became more and more nervous. The speech he had prepared seemed to be not very good at this moment.

"Husband..."

"Um……"

Seeing his nervousness, his wife relieved her.

Ye Bianyun took his wife's hand, and felt the tension in his heart eased somewhat.

The carriage slowly headed towards Suzaku Avenue, and his memory of this place was already a bit blurred.

Now that I saw it again, the memory in my mind became clearer little by little.

"There is a date tree over there. Uncle Gu would take me there to play when I was little."

"Over there, it used to be the home of cabinet bachelor Wang Dun. I don't know if it still lives now..."

The more Ye Bianyun talked, the more excited he became, and the wife beside him also laughed.

Then the carriage next to him slowly stopped.

here we are...

Ye Bianyun's eyes suddenly turned red when he looked at the familiar environment.

"squeak……"

Coincidentally, it was at this time that Uncle Gu, who had just gotten up, was worried and walked to the front door as soon as his feet touched the floor. Then he always felt that something was missing.

The moment he opened the door, he saw a carriage that had just stopped in front of him, and a man stepped out of it, staring blankly at it.

Uncle Gu rubbed his eyes, and then took a few steps forward, and finally he could see a little more clearly with his dizzy old eyes.

The familiar face, although a little changed and rounded a lot, is still recognizable.

"Master!"

Uncle Gu spoke, with an indescribable joy on his face, and then he was in a panic trying to find something.

"Hurry up!"

"Go and inform the master, and tell the young master to come back!"

"Ha ha!"

With joy on his face and laughter, Uncle Gu quickly ordered the servant beside him to go to the inner hall to report the news.

Master Xiangbi will be very happy when he hears the news.

"Oh, this is the young master Wu Xue. I have heard Wu Shuang mention it a long time ago. I didn't expect that when I saw him today, he would be even more lovely."

"Uncle Gu..."

"Go ahead!"

As Gu Bo said, he picked up Ye Wuxue with one arm, and then took Ye Bianyun with the other hand, and greeted Young Madam.

"........."

In the inner hall, Ye Sucheng, who had already heard the news, was also sitting here waiting.

The moment Uncle Gu led the people in, he saw the son he had been thinking about for many years, and he was back!Back with his son!
A wave of emotion was brewing in Ye Su intentionally, which made him uncomfortable.

"Father, the child is not filial!"

As Ye Bianyun said, he came to Ye Sucheng and knelt heavily in front of him.

"Get up! It's my father's fault!"

"stand up……"

Ye Sucheng stood up, stretched out his hand to support Ye Bianyun, and tried his best to control his emotions, but his eyes still turned red.

Uncle Gu stood aside and watched, with tears in his eyes. After so many years, he saw the young master come home again.

While they were enjoying themselves, Uncle Gu also brought Ye Wuguo from the kitchen. When this little girl saw her parents, she almost wasn't recognized.

In just half a month, this little girl eats round and round, and her body shape is visible to the naked eye, and she looks chubby and cute.

But the arrival of his parents and younger brother also made Ye Wugou very happy.

As for Ye Sucheng and Ye Bianyun, all the grievances in their hearts disappeared a moment ago.

Between family and blood, there is nothing that cannot be eliminated in the world.

"Your Majesty, Ye Bianyun, the old master's only son, has returned to Beijing."

In the Great Xia Palace, Wang Yongnian murmured something in Emperor Xia's ear, and Emperor Xia said oh, and then ordered Wang Yongnian to send some tribute from the palace to express his heart.

Right now, the old master has done all the things he can do, and it seems that it is a very good thing to cultivate with peace of mind and live for the rest of his life.

If it weren't for the rush and busyness of things right now, maybe he would take the time to go to Ye Mansion to congratulate in person.

Not to mention all the things here, on the battlefield of the Great Perimeter Pass, a new round of war continued.

On the other hand, the Gudi people seem to have made up their minds, and all the available reserve troops in the tribe have been mobilized, and the total strength is close to 50.

It took half a month at the border gate of Beicheng, and their food and grass reserves were too much to bear. If it weren't for the cattle and sheep sent by the Sanman people, and the blood oath of the Sanman Khan King, King Gudi might have brought his army back to the city long ago. Went to the warm valley.

"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this. We have already suffered too many losses. If we go on like this, it will be difficult for our tribe to survive."

"Yes, Your Majesty, up to now, more than [-] sons have been injured, and more than one million cattle and sheep have been lost. If we continue to fight like this, when will it be the end!"

"........."

In the king's tent on Gudi's side, some generals couldn't bear the temptation of invisible flesh, so they suggested.

King Gu Di is a middle-aged man close to 40 years old. He has been fighting on the grassland all year round and has been beaten by wind and snow, which makes his skin look older than that of people of the same age.

"Organize the captain of ten thousand men, the commander-in-chief and the general, to attack the city tonight! We will fight until death!"

Sitting on the throne, King Gudi let out a heavy gasp.

The three barbarians took over the four northern continents and plundered them. The rich supplies and wealth they harvested made him jealous.

Among the new batch of supplies sent by the three barbarians are the supplies they looted from the four continents in the north, including not only food, but also their most greedy women, and there are quite a few of them.

Although it's just a drop in the bucket, it's not enough at all.

He also longed for the rich land and inexhaustible supplies in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The endless plundering and grazing on the grassland was driving him crazy. He didn't want to live like this anymore, so he couldn't give up and would rather give it a try.

Even if he failed, he could still retreat to the grassland. The fertile pastures ceded by some of the three barbarians were enough for his tribe and clansmen to live a carefree life.

However, the human heart is always something that is difficult to satisfy.

"Your Majesty, right now we still have 50 grand masters and ten generals in the grand master realm. If we launch a surprise attack, we may be able to succeed."

"Furthermore, according to the news from people in the city, although the Da Zhou side has a large number of people, 40 people, the casualties in the past few days are also huge, and most of them are ordinary soldiers, and the number of masters and grand masters less than mine."

"Then it's decided like this, organize high-end combat forces to break through forcibly, and then open the city gate, let the cavalry outside the city enter the city!"

"Go down and get ready!"

"Yes!"

"........."

As soon as King Gudi made a decision, his eyes looked a little gloomy. After all, he had paid such a high price and hadn't tasted the meat yet. No one had the patience to wait any longer.

In Beicheng City, after a daily patrol and emphasizing the key points of daily instructions, Zhou Wumin returned to the commander's mansion.

The news from the border should not be underestimated. Although Luo Futing is young, his soldiers are too few. Even though there are many people sent from the capital, they are all new recruits who have never been to the battlefield. The high-end combat power has not been added much.

All these made Zhou Wumin's heart hang in mid-air, with fear.

"It looks like a change has to be made."

Zhou Wumin muttered to himself.

In the current Great Zhou court, there are only a few strong masters in the Grand Master realm, and this includes the Great Zhou empress.

Now the court has sent a great master to the border to take charge of the border to prevent the three barbarians from taking over the border at once.

Now, both sides have fallen into a stalemate, and the competition is between high-end combat power and the willpower of ordinary soldiers.

"My lord, I have something to report to you."

"speak!"

The quartermaster went into the commander's mansion, and when he saw Zhou Wumin, he spoke.

"Right now we are running out of food and grass. Judging from the current consumption, we can support up to five days' supply."

"How did the court reply?"

"Sir Dazai said. The materials donated by Dayan and Daqi have been delivered, and they should be able to supply the army for one month."

"That's good!"

"But... the herbs are not enough..."

The quartermaster added, Zhou Wumin remained silent.

Herbs are related to the lives of lieutenant soldiers, so he can't be careless.

"Wait a moment!"

As Zhou Wumin said, he picked up the jade pen on the table, lightly tapped the ink, and then began to write on the paper.

"Send this letter to the second pass of Daxia, and you must hand it over to King Jin!"

"Yes!"

The quartermaster withdrew, and other generals came in and began to discuss defense matters with him.

One by one, when the general in the commander's mansion left, the sun had already risen to noon.

After a brief lunch, Zhou Wumin put on his armor again, took his sword with him, and headed towards the top of the city in Beicheng.

No matter when, let the soldiers under him see their commander, this is an exciting thing, and morale will also be improved.

Seeing these soldiers eating under the crenel, Zhou Wumin also felt uncomfortable, but he had to do this.

For their families and to protect this land.

"It's strange, why didn't the Gudi people come to attack the city today!"

"Hehe. Don't tell me, if the Gudi people don't come to attack the city, my heart is still itchy and I can't vent it, haha!"

"Li Wuchang, your requirements are a bit low! If you don't win this battle, I will send you a Gudi girl, so that you can vent your anger. Haha!"

"Ha ha!"

"........."

For a while, the dull atmosphere dissipated, and the colleagues beside him were all joking, and some jokes popped out of their mouths from time to time, which made people laugh out loud.

Everyone knew in their hearts that to win this battle, they didn't know how many years they would have to wait.

Although they didn't want to admit it in their hearts, after these few days of fighting, everyone had this kind of realization in their hearts that they had put life and death aside.

Only in this way can we still be able to laugh happily under such circumstances.

This is probably a kind of hard work.

Zhou Wumin listened not far away, and a smile appeared on his face. He didn't go to disturb the joy of these veterans, and walked in another direction.

There are too many places that need him, but too few people who can help him.

However, what surprised the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty was that the Gudi people in the distant military camp still did not provoke any signs of going out to attack the city, which gave them rare time to relax.

Many sergeants chose to switch defenses for a while, and found a deep well in a private house in the city. Taking advantage of the sun and the temperature was not low, they washed their bodies with water.

Dirt mixed with dried blood fell from his body, and the earthy yellow areas were stained dark red.

But after all the sergeants were cleaned, their spirits changed a lot, and they felt like a human being again.

"Hey! I didn't expect you to wash up a little bit, and you look okay after removing the dirt. Have you made a marriage contract?"

"The corporal was joking, who would take a fancy to me."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll introduce my sister to you when I get back. If you see it, get engaged."

"hey-hey……"

With an honest smile on his face, the young soldier was patted on the head by his corps commander.Then he left with the fellow in front of him.

There are many scenes like this happening in Beicheng at the moment.

At another border gate in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luo Futing, the coach, also drew his long sword at this moment, standing on the top of the city to fight the enemy bravely, with dozens of guards by his side.

In the distance, the Grand Master sent by the court stood on the pavilion, looking down at the war below.

In the distance, Kuo Tie stared at the grand master who suddenly appeared on the tower, his eyes fixed.

He knows how terrible it is when a great master is desperate. Zhuge Fang, the great master who died in battle in the city of Yezhou, is a living example.

Therefore, he didn't dare to step forward rashly. Sanman had already lost several grand masters in this war. If he lost some more, it would have a big impact on the senior management of Sanman.

To be able to use ordinary soldiers to wear down the enemy's will, and then to break through the city in one fell swoop, to defeat the enemy with an absolute overwhelming advantage, this is the war he advocates.

"Your Majesty, a written order has been sent from the royal court."

"Present!"

After receiving the letter from the messenger, Kuo Tie looked at the message conveyed on it and felt a little puzzled.

No matter what the cost, win the big peripheral pass!

He also wanted to do this, but he couldn't bear it, the result of piling up with human life.

Now that the king's order has been issued, he can only carry it out!
"Army attack!"

As he drew out his scimitar, the three barbarian cavalry who were waiting for him galloped out instantly, like a torrent pouring down, trying to break through all the obstacles in front of them.
