Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

The Chen family has stayed in the Southwest for many years, and the dishes they cook are also Southwest characteristics.

The same is true for the snacks eaten at home. The syrup is boiled and added with dried walnuts, peanut kernels, wolfberry, and sesame seeds. After the entrance, it is full of the aroma of walnuts.

"Qingchen likes to eat this pastry, my grandma asked someone to send him a few catties." Rong Xiaotang said.

"It's really good." Shen Luo originally planned to eat a piece and put it down. Hearing that Qingchen likes it, he twisted half a piece and tasted it. His mouth was filled with the aroma of walnuts.

"There is also this southwestern style Jianfeng crisp, which is added with milk." Rong Xiaotang looked at Shen Luo's thinness, and beckoned him to eat some Southwestern-specific snacks.

"Tea is quite unique!" Shen Luo took a sip of tea, and there were red dates, dried longan, peanuts, almonds, wolfberry, and other ingredients in the cup.

"Shiquan tea contains ten kinds of ingredients, symbolizing perfection." Rong Xiaotang explained.

"En!" Shen Luo nodded, although the aroma of the tea leaves was affected by the complexity of the ingredients, it did not prevent drinking this kind of lucky tea on this special festive day.

"A Luo, is this for dinner?" Chen Shi asked if he wanted to arrange for the priest to have a meal.

Shen Luo shook his head: "They don't eat food from outside, we can just eat."

"Oh!" Chen Shi nodded, those people in white looked unusual.

The lunch dishes are all cooked by Chen himself. There are hot and sour mutton pot in the southwest, fried beef liver with peppercorns, sliced ​​boiled beef, and sprinkled with local chili seasoning.Duck stuffed with wine, matsutake stewed chicken, fish with mint, steamed cakes, beef bones boiled in a cauldron, some seasonal fruit plates from the south, wild vegetables boiled in clear water and dipped in chili water, etc.

After the dishes were arranged, Rong Xiaotang opened a bottle of imperial wine that Shen Luo had given him, and was about to invite Shen Luo to a table, when Nie Xingfeng rushed over.

"Something happened, something happened." Nie Xingfeng said out of breath, swallowing the smell of food and wine.

"Is it because the Tata people are attacking?" Shen Luo leisurely handed him his tea, Nie Xingfeng took it, the temperature was just right, Shen Luo just took a sip, and finished it in one gulp.

"Happy, how do you know?" Nie Xingfeng handed the teacup to Rong Xiaotang, asking him to soak it.

"I guessed it, the Tuna people won't let us have a good year, and the fact that we didn't attack last night is enough to give God face." Shen Luo said, calmly.

"You?" Nie Xingfeng took a deep breath: "Not surprised at all?"

"The defense has been set up. It's all expected. Just wait for them to fight over. It doesn't matter." Shen Luo said.

Nie Xingfeng looked at his expression: "You really look like an emperor, are you his illegitimate child?"

"If that's the case, the emperor won't be depressed!" Shen Luo didn't say the word "end" and sighed lightly: "The food is ready, let's eat together."

"Aren't you going back?" Nie Xingfeng asked, "Brother Lan is in a bit of a hurry. The 50 Tuna people have joined the battle."

"Don't worry, the sky is falling, I'll hold it up, let's eat!" Shen Luo said, calling him to the table.

Nie Xingfeng was happy when he heard that: "I have to drink a few cups of this royal wine."

Rong Xiaotang laughed.

Chen didn't come to the table, the three of them were the only ones at the table.

While eating, eager footsteps and the clanging of armor came from outside the door: "Teacher, it's terrible!"

Shen Luo looked at Cathay: "Take off your helmet, sit down and eat."

"Oh!" Cathay took off his helmet as he habitually obeyed the order, and only realized after sitting down: "Something happened, do you still have the mind to ask me to eat?"

"I know the Tuna Tata army is coming, but I have to eat too?" Shen Luo asked with a smile.

Cathay asked eagerly: "No, my lord, I heard that you issued an order on the front line to use up your life and focus on killing and killing, and no short-handed soldiers?"

"Yes!" Shen Luo watched as he took the bowls, chopsticks and cups.

"If we don't fight hand to hand, how can we hold our ground?" Cathay Pacific asked curiously.

"Do you know what other orders I gave?" Shen Luo asked back.

"The newly arrived [-] barrels of kerosene will be used up one after another." Cathay Pacific came back from the front line, very clear.

Shen Luo picked up the chopsticks to eat: "That's right."

Cathay still wanted to ask, but by looking at his face, he knew not to ask any more, so he lowered his head and Nie Xingfeng shook his cheeks and ate.

When I returned home in the afternoon, the battle reports came like snowflakes.

The 50 Tuna army at the front attacked, and more than 170 trebuchets went into battle. They fought fiercely with the Taifeng army.

Just don't engage in hand-to-hand combat, the opponent will withdraw when he comes, and then greet with fire oil and bows and arrows.

At the end of one day, Tuna advanced one mile, and more than 8000 soldiers were lost.

"This is made of corpses!" Big Brother Lan couldn't help but said in the night, watching the non-stop flames of the front line in the distance.

Starting today, the construction of crossbow positions began at the head of the southwest city, and he knew that Shen Luo was ready for a decisive battle.

I couldn't figure out why Shen Luo would have a decisive battle at this time, so I couldn't resist asking, but I couldn't hold back my curiosity.

After dinner in the evening, everyone drank tea together, and Nie Xingfeng continued to go out to assassinate and play, which became his game.

Cathay Pacific went to the front.

In Shuai's mansion, Shen Luo married Brother Lan.

"Ah Luo, why are you thinking of a decisive battle?" Big Brother Lan asked.

Shen Luo glanced at him: "I want to finish the fight early and go home to see the children."

"Son, child?" Big Brother Lan was taken aback, Long Qingchen estimated that he was born in February or March, so Shen Luo is going to return to court as a teacher?

At nightfall, Shen Luo looked at half of the crimson sky.

Are the people in these four directions already used to the scene of a bright red night sky? Lying on the bed, he raised his hands from the quilt under the moonlight.

In the darkness, shadows can still be seen in the palm of your hand.

When he was a child, he liked such a person playing with his fingers in the night, sometimes turning into a swan, sometimes turning into a dog's head, and he never tired of playing.

Cross your hands over your head and raise them above your head is Tianyin style.

Today Shen Luo said that he wanted to go back early, but in fact it was just perfunctory.

He wanted to realize what the oracle said, let the earth burn the mountains and rivers, and in such a sky, burn the entire frontier red, and let the wings of the lotus appear with the help of the holy light at the right time.

Shen Luo hoped to see if such a scene could really make the Kingdom of God appear.

"Shen Baiyi, we have a conversation, and we have to continue it." Shen Luo said leisurely, put down his hands, and fell asleep.

"The frontier is advancing rapidly. If this continues, the advantage will emerge. Once the enemy army shows signs of exhaustion, our army will be able to reach the southwestern city." Tata Yegang said, automatically ignoring today's casualties.

"Well, where did the food go for the 20 people in the field? Although there is a lot of food coming, tell him to come back a moment before the decisive battle. There is no room for loss in the battle against the southwestern capital." Queen Mother Tata said arrive.

"Yes, the empress dowager is wise, will the results of the battle here be passed back to the capital?" Ta Tachen asked.

"It doesn't matter." Queen Mother Tata said disdainfully: "That unfilial son is now under house arrest. Hmph, I'm unlucky. How did I give birth to this idiot? I was only 45 years old, and I was dismissed. Back then, I was anxious to help him seize the throne."

"How many people in the world can be like the Empress Dowager? I have the beauty of Tamar, and I can command thousands of troops like a young man." Ta Tachen flattered.

"Hmph, fight well, I'll wait for your good news." Queen Mother Tata got up leisurely, and went back to find her inner guard. She is in a good mood today, so she has to have a good time.

Throughout the southwest frontier, the raging fire has not stopped for a month.

The war is going on every day, and the Tata family must use people to fill the gully in the frontier.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Jian Cong, who was feeding his son at home, received a letter from Shen Luo, urging for a new batch of black oil. His hands trembled in fright. He wanted it so soon, how quickly it would be used up!

No matter what, the southwest is raging with war, and Dafeng is also starting a new year amidst the war.

Shen Luo sat in the study room and wrote the words 'No Break, No Stand' in handwriting.

Today, the frontier came to report that the fifteen miles of the frontier were lost, and the flames of war could be seen on Xiyun City.

"Why hasn't the leader come back yet?" Shen Luo put down his pen and asked.

Nie Xingfeng came back from the front and sat next to Shen Luo drinking tea, saying that he was going to kill.

"Maybe it's delayed by something, it's almost February?" Nie Xingfeng was also curious, he was not curious and didn't want to watch the fun when the leader was beaten like this in front of him.

"Go and ask the Southwest Branch of the Qinghua Sect!" Shen Luo said.

He didn't want the leader anymore, but he wanted the sweetheart with ten hearts to live in Huzhou. It's hard to say when Qingchen will give birth, everything would be better with the sweetheart of ten hearts.

Nie Xingfeng was efficient in handling affairs, and soon got the news that the Yin-Yang Sanren had gone to attack Qinghuajiao, and the two sides were fighting.

Shen Luo curled his lips, he really didn't understand the battle between the rivers and lakes, what were they fighting for?But laughing all the time, I still sent fifty priests to help.

"It is expected that the opponent may come over in mid-February. Our army is expected to have 57 troops in combat readiness. Should we continue to increase our troops?" Cathay Pacific asked.

Shen Luo shook his head, "No need, I won't be able to squeeze any more."

"Shall I inform Jing Gongyun to prepare?" Brother Lan asked.

Shen Luo nodded: "They must have had a hard time celebrating the New Year outside last year. Get ready. After the decisive battle, they can attack at any time."

"Okay!" Brother Lan went to make arrangements.

On February [-]th, before the Tata army approached the city, all the Dafeng defenders retreated to the city.

The Tata army cheered happily. Although black oil barrels flew over their heads from time to time, they couldn't hold back their joy.

More than 7 people died in battle before and after this record.

On the other hand, Queen Mother Tata was very angry with Tata Yechang, who had not returned for a long time: "I said that the decisive battle is coming, why didn't you come now?"

"Queen Mother, don't worry, maybe something is delayed." Ta Tachen comforted.

"Delay?" Queen Mother Tata wanted to laugh: "This is going to be a decisive battle, what is more important than this."

Just as he was talking, the rear army reported back, and Tata Yechang's 13 horses came back.

"13, why are there so few people?" Queen Mother Tata was taken aback.

"Have you been attacked by Xingnuo?" Queen Mother Tata looked at him with wide eyes.

"Yes, I was planning to go all the way to the northwest frontier to buy food. I didn't expect to encounter Xingnuo's caravan, so I ordered an attack. But I didn't expect this guy to be backed by an army of 30 on the border. I could only rush back."

"Hmph, Tuna people, one day this account will be settled with them." Tata Yegang also scolded.

"Forget it, let's try our best to win the battle before us. After the founding of the country, we can talk about anything." Tatachen persuaded.

On the sixteenth, the leader of Qinghua and ten sweethearts came back.

As soon as Shen Luo told his sweetheart what he meant, he immediately prepared to go back.

On February 22th, the [-]nd year of Dafeng Qianyuan, the armies of the two sides fought in front of Xiyun City, the capital of the southwest.

The momentum of the drums and music shook the sky, and the hundreds of thousands of Tata troops in front of the entire West Cloud City no longer carried the flying eagle flag of Tuna, but the Venus flag of the Tata clan.

Empress Dowager Tata came to the front in person, looking at the majestic towers of the southwest capital, and lamenting the strength of Dafeng.

Along the way, he saw that the frontier was almost scorched for thirty miles. No matter how cold-blooded he was, he still felt the hard-won results of the Tata clan.

The battle banner of Xiyun City was fluttering, and fifty huge fire and phoenix banners hung down from the city wall.

The whole city is full of soldiers, the huge suspension bridge has been put away, and the emerald green water in the moat is as deep as bottomless.

The quiet atmosphere was interrupted by the mountain wind that came out slowly from time to time, and the flags made a whirring sound.

Siege ladders taller than the city towers were lined up in front of the city, and the defensive positions on the mountains on both sides of the Dafeng Army issued command horns to prepare for the battle from time to time.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, thunder on a sunny day.

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and in silence, no one dared to say that they would do it first.

At this moment, Shen Luo was standing on the city, wearing a fire phoenix cloak, looking at the Tata army crowded together.

"Boom!" There was another thunder, and the wind blew violently, making the sky dark and unable to stand.

"Retreat!" The Tata army sounded a horn, and the whole army retreated.

Two thunderclaps on the ground eerily drew back the prelude to the great battle, so everyone's faces were solemn and they dared not speak.

Shen Luo slowly walked down from the city wall.

Looking up at the sky, it seems that there is no way to fight today.

Such strong winds raged for six full days.

The Tata army was not reconciled, and launched a stone, which fell into the moat before reaching the bottom of the city.

"No, the wind is strong, and nothing can be done, even drawing a bow and shooting an arrow." Tataye often shot an arrow, which turned a corner and fell in front of him.

"The swirling wind swirls in the valleys on both sides and blows back along the tall city walls. Their bows and arrows are not affected, but we will be miserable." Tata Yegang said.

"Wait, God doesn't stand on the opposite side every day." Ta Tachen whispered, but there was an ominous feeling in his heart.

On Wushizui in Huzhou, an exquisite courtyard has been built behind the Gaofu Temple.

Long Qingchen moved into a new courtyard to spend the New Year.

The body became heavier and heavier, and the belly was bigger than the average pregnant woman.

In order to give birth smoothly, he listened to his wife and took a little walk every day.

Jane's family moved here, and Qi Wangjun also moved here, all to wait for his delivery.

"It's strange that the doctor didn't find out how many children there are." Long Qingchen sighed and said to Jian Fulang and Qi Wangjun.

"Some people are like this, and I, Huai Junwen, are like that. They all say that such a child is blessed!" Qi Wangjun comforted.

Long Qingchen smiled: "There are so many people who care, how can their luck be small!"
