North Journey

Liangzhou is located in the southwest, so it is not as prosperous as Henan, Yangzhou and other places. However, at Yin Guihai's age, he was able to sit firmly as the magistrate of this place. Even a southwestern prefecture like Liangzhou is thanks to the Yin family family support.

What's more, although Liangzhou is remote, it is still quite a place of smog and rain in the eyes of the people in Beijing. However, it is not like the previous dynasty that used it as a prefecture to eliminate dissidents and exile in disguise. The imperial army, horses, food, and grass were frequently mobilized, and Zhucheng, a key place close to Dianzhou, had already become an important platform for many people to gain fame.

It's a pity that the Yin family already had Yin Guihai as an outlier. Ten years ago, when everyone was staring at the seats vacated by Ning Guogong's lineage and Jian Wang's old department due to the failure of the rebellion, they took the post with a lot of money and came. At that time, people hated dogs to build a city, and became a prefect who was no more than a fifth rank.However, looking at this matter now in combination with Jinshang's various measures, probably at that time, the Yin family Yin Guihai will become Jinshang's confidant.

There are not many families in the Yin family who can climb high, and there are not many households in the whole Dayong.But Yin Guihai is different, he is only a collateral branch of the Yin family, and his deceased wife is only from the upper middle class.The emperor's confidant, members of the Yin clan, a magistrate, widowed for many years, not close to women... Various factors, coupled with his own appearance, young and promising, have become the goals of many officials and eunuchs to marry their daughters over the years.It's a pity that Yin Guihai had a deep relationship with his late wife, and to this day, every time I think about it, it still hurts my heart.Moreover, because of his wife and daughter, he broke up with Tan Hualang, who was on the same list back then, who is now a student at the Imperial Academy, and a close friend Wang Yue who is expected to join the cabinet in the future.

Hearing this, everyone praised Yin Zhifu's deep love in person.However, when he turned around, many people laughed at him for not knowing what to do.

Does Yin Guihai know this?Of course he does.Some people even handed over a letter of wanting to get married through the family of the head of the Yin family.However, if all this can be exchanged for today, he will not be angry because of those words.

Yin Guihai sat upright in the main hall, he wanted to show that he would not lose his composure, but he couldn't take his gaze away from the obedient little girl sitting on one side.

Ten years, he has been looking for ten years.It's not that he didn't think about the day when he would find it, but when that day came, he still... didn't know how to calm down.In the past ten years, he has done a good job of psychological preparation for all bad results. What he wants to ask for is just a little news from his wife and daughter, even if it is just a corpse.But he never thought that one day, someone would bring his granddaughter.

There is no need to doubt anything.Although that child was thinner and more sensitive, but between his eyebrows and eyes, he was exactly the same as Nannan.

"Master Immortal, thank you..."

Yin Guihai's eloquence, which had once amazed the emperor, seemed to disappear in an instant.

Ming Qi would not mind, except for Shi Yan, he rarely minded anything.After performing the posture of immortality, he handed over the "burden" that caused him a headache all the way, and Ming Qi stepped out of the gate of the Yin mansion, making sure that his traces would no longer fall into the eyes of those who cared, and then he relieved ruthlessly. Take a breath.

"very tired?"

Shi Yan appeared on his side, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and he didn't seem to be troubled by anything like Ming Qi.

"Ashi QAQ"

Ming Qi's grievances can be realized.God knows how wronged Ah Shi was when he refused to accompany him because there was a person and a ghost around him who might notice him.Is this what humans call "it's worthless once you get it"?It was obviously not like this before Ah Shi.

If it was said that Ming Qi was shy when he was still flattered at the beginning, when the two gods really did not see each other for three days, the original elation had long since turned into aggrieved.

"Alright, let's go back to Mount Mang next."

Shi Yan patted Ming Qi's head, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the fairy that Ming Qi met in that world when he chased him just now.Then, when he saw Ming Qi's wavy eyes, he laughed.

"Hmm—living in the world of two people?"

"Okay(^o^)/~"

"Marshal, it's snowing."

Lu Neng walked in from outside the cave expressionlessly, handed the kettle to the brothers in the cave, and said five words lightly.

The inside of the cave was dark, and there was a biting chill, but Lu Neng's understatement still made the men who had been in different caves for five days couldn't help turning pale.

There were chasing soldiers behind, and the way forward was unknown. More importantly, the arrow wound on their coach's body had caused a continuous high fever because of being soaked in the icy river for a long time and not being treated in time.

Qi Yan took the water bottle that fell into his hands after passing it around, took a sip, and barely moistened his chapped and white lips due to the heat.

They all knew that this snow would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire for them, making the already difficult situation even more hopeless.

only……

"I'm the one who hurt you."

The battle situation was already set, he led Qingqi out of the city overnight, but it was also to catch his opponent off guard so that the war could end as soon as possible.

However, no one expected that it was themselves who were really caught off guard.

If it was said that Yu Menghua's encounter with ambush at Guan was only a little bit of a surprise to him, then the rear army that had already been arranged but did not arrive was what really made them desperate.

They are a large army, and the strength of their troops is very different. Even if there is an accident with the pre-arranged rear army, the camp which is only ten miles away will not be unaware.

What's more, the arrow in his body clearly came from a colleague.

The arrow had already been cut off as soon as it was temporarily safe, because there was no suitable medicinal material at hand, so no one dared to pull out the arrow.

Qi Yan's arrow was shot on his back, and it was inconvenient to sit and lie down, so he could only lean on a protruding rock in the cave at this time.Hearing Lu Neng's words, he stopped playing with the arrow feathers, pressed his fingers on the place where the Yongjun emblem was branded, and said in a hoarse voice.

There was silence in the cave for a while, except for the crackling sound of burning firewood.

"Shuai Qi!"

Lang Zhengyang's eyes were red, and he growled, but he couldn't say anything.

As a sergeant, he was not in a desperate situation because of the enemy, but was betrayed and betrayed by his comrades. Don't they hate it?Don't you feel cold?

Of course hate!

That kind of pain and hatred is unimaginable for ordinary people.

However, because of this, blame General Qi, who is the commander in chief, who has led them to life and death again and again?

They haven't gotten to this point yet!

The few people Shang still followed by Qi Yan's side were not considered low-level soldiers, so they naturally heard about some things in the capital.

They had heard the rumors that the late emperor favored Qi Shuai. Not only did he hold the seal of the governor's office of the five armies at the age of a weak crown, he was granted the title of border marquis, and he was hereditary.

They have also heard of all kinds of cases of disliking Qi Shuai today, not to mention all kinds of deduction in salary and regulations, but that after the death of the first emperor, Qi Shuai was transferred from Yandi to Dianzhou to guard in less than three months. It is also enough to see the general.

However, Qi Shuai's military exploits are true, and it is not a lie that he was born and died for Dayong in recent years. This time, he raised his troops to stabilize the country's frontiers and fulfill the late emperor's last wish. No one expected that there would be a hidden arrow from his own side.

"Let's go, no..."

Qi Yan spoke wearily.

From the moment he knew his life experience, he never dared to relax a bit.It's not for his own wealth and glory or fame and fortune, but...he doesn't want his mother to be hurt or criticized at all because of him.

Uncle is a good person, perhaps because of guilt towards his mother, or perhaps because of his sincere love for himself. Whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or fame and title, he has never treated him badly. An explanation was given by hand.

You treat me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a gentleman of the country.

He is not a person who likes killing or fighting.However, he saw his uncle's great ambition hidden under the gentle appearance, so he was willing to be the sharp long sword in the hands of the emperor, to open up the territory for the man on the nine palaces.

Joined the army at fifteen, paid homage to general at seventeen, and became a marquis with a weak crown. Now he is only twenty-seven this year, and he is already a big official of one side.To have come to this point as a so-called commoner is not to be envied by others.

However, only he himself knows how tired he is of such a life.

Especially after his uncle died of illness, the dislike from His Majesty has not been concealed.Why doesn't he want to be a king and minister one day?However, today is a heart disease for him, because of the old things, even if he makes up for it, how can he repay the life that has passed away?

Now that the day finally came, he was still relieved.

That's okay, all the resentment and hatred are added to oneself without involving the mother, which can be regarded as repaying the painstaking efforts of the uncle back then.

"Qi Shuai, if you dare to say that we don't have to worry about you and leave on your own, I will kill myself right now!"

Although Pan Yan is known as "words", he has always been reticent, even Qi Yan did not expect that he would say such words suddenly.

Momentarily stimulated, he coughed violently, causing Lang Zhengyang to look around worriedly, but he didn't dare to comfort him.

"Pan Er, what did you say suddenly?"

Lang Zhengyang glared at Pan Yan with big eyes, although he had been traveling for several days, his voice was still clear.

"Qi Shuai, if you have the desire to die, we will really have no way out for brothers."

Pan Yan ignored this brat, and stared at Qi Yan, as if he wanted to shoot straight into his heart.
