Naturally, this was not Jiang Chiqiu's first visit to Zhufeng Temple, but it was the first time he went to Zhufeng Temple at such a late hour.

When the door was closed, the maid just told Jiang Chiqiu to put on white clothes.This special reminder made Jiang Chiqiu feel a little uncomfortable.

But in the end Jiang Chiqiu did what she said, put on white clothes, washed up as quickly as possible, and then followed his family in a carriage to Zhufeng Temple on the outskirts of Baofan City.

The speed of the carriage was very fast, so the interior of the carriage was extremely bumpy.

Since a few years ago, Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia no longer rode in the same carriage.

Before Jiang Chiqiu enjoyed this kind of quiet moment on the journey, but this time he suddenly wanted someone to sit beside him.

This carriage was too empty, and Jiang Chiqiu who was sitting in it gradually became anxious.

The carriage drove to the outskirts, and the shaking inside the carriage became more and more serious, so Jiang Chiqiu had no choice but to stretch out one hand to grab the inner wall of the carriage.

After a while, he stretched out his other hand and lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside. At this time, the sun still had no intention of coming out, and the silver hook hanging in the air will The whole night was extraordinarily lonely.

Looking at the scenery outside, Jiang Chiqiu's location is not too far from Zhufeng Temple.

The news that the national teacher is seriously ill has spread, and now the road from Baofan City to Zhufengguan is full of people kneeling on both sides.

Without the permission of the royal family, it is impossible to go to Zhufeng Temple at this time.But everyone still didn't disperse, and everyone knelt here devoutly, praying for the people in Zhufeng Temple.

Such a scene appeared in the early hours of the morning, which is really a little weird.

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Chiqiu drew the curtain of the carriage. He slowly closed his eyes and carefully recalled the first time he came here.

——That was the first day Jiang Chiqiu crossed into this world, and he was only a six-year-old child at that time.

Before you know it, so many years have passed...

Jiang Chiqiu's memories didn't last long, the carriage he was riding in slowly stopped at the foot of Zhufeng Temple.

The moment the carriage stabilized, Jiang Chiqiu jumped out of the carriage.

Jiang Chiqiu may be the one who has lived here the longest among the outsiders of Zhufengguan, so Jiang Chiqiu is very familiar with Zhufengguan.

If Jiang Chiqiu's memory is not wrong, he remembered that Zhufeng Guan would not turn on the lights at night before.

Whether it is the national teacher or other people who practice Taoism here in Zhufeng Temple, their work and rest are very regular. Basically, they will not come out for activities as soon as the sun goes down.

But now... the whole mountain has been illuminated by waiting lights.

Especially the upper part of the mountain, which is completely illuminated by candles, looks like it is lit from a distance.

Such a view of the phoenixes is astonishing that the world has never seen before.

Jiang Chiqiu just took a quick glance at Zhufengguan, and then followed his parents to the mountain at the fastest speed.

"Jiang Shangshu, Mrs. Jiang..." The people in Zhufeng Temple came up to support Jiang Chiqiu's parents, and then quickly guided them in the direction.

When Jiang Chiqiu came to Zhufeng Temple before, he would stop by to see the national teacher, so he naturally knew where the national teacher lived.But now Jiang Chiqiu discovered that the direction pointed to by the people in Zhufeng Temple was not consistent with the position in his impression.

Although there was a little bit of doubt in his heart, Jiang Chiqiu didn't say a word, he walked towards the current position of the national teacher together with his family.

After these few years, Jiang Chiqiu already knew - this national teacher and his biological parents are unknown, it seems that he was adopted by Ming Zhou, and he also came from a family of officials in Baofan City.

Therefore, the national teacher became friends with the original owner's father when he was very young.

Later, he was taken away by the former national teacher and taken to Zhufeng Temple to become a monk to practice, and his friendship with Jiang Shangshu has not been interrupted because of this.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chiqiu subconsciously glanced at his father.

——Jiang Shangshu usually hides his emotions, but now that his former partner is about to pass away, his eyes finally revealed an unconcealable sadness.

At this moment, the young man who brought them over said softly, "Jiang Shangshu, we're here."

Jiang Chiqiu looked up, and then saw the three characters "Shanhuisi" appearing in front of his eyes.

Before he could figure out what these three words meant, Jiang Chiqiu lowered his head slightly and saw that the room named "Shanhuisi" was unusually empty, only a wooden table was placed in the center of the room. bed.

Jiang Chiqiu has never seen such a narrow bed... As long as a person turns over on it, he will fall off the bed.From where Jiang Chiqiu was now, he couldn't see clearly the appearance of the person on the bed, he could only vaguely see a white figure lying here.

Wait... Thinking of this, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but frowned.

He found that it seemed more like a coffin than a "bed".

This discovery made Jiang Chiqiu break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, another man in white finally appeared in front of Jiang Chiqiu.

I know tomorrow.

Although the people in Zhufeng Temple have always been dressed in plain white, since Jiang Chiqiu knew Ming Zhou Zhi until now, he has never seen Ming Zhou Zhi wearing clothes of other colors.

But today's Mingwu Zhi, in Jiang Chiqiu's eyes, looked extremely haggard.

At this time Jiang Shangshu and the others had already gone to see the national teacher, Jiang Chiqiu hesitated for a moment and walked towards Ming Zhouzhi.

"Morrow knows..." Jiang Chiqiu softly called the other party's name.

Hearing this, Ming Zhouzhi slowly stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Chiqiu's shoulder, but he didn't say a word.

Ming Zhouzhi's personality is not extroverted, and he didn't talk much in the past.But after more than ten years of acquaintance, this is the first time Ming Zhouzhi can't speak a word after meeting Jiang Chiqiu.

Jiang Chiqiu pursed his lips, and walked towards the national teacher together with Ming Zhouzhi.

Now the national teacher is surrounded by many people, besides Jiang Chiqiu's parents, there are also many officials in Baofan City who have a good relationship with him, and Jiang Chiqiu even saw the eldest princess of the dynasty.

Even though Jiang Chiqiu is the son of Shangshu and has an official position in the imperial court, it is still not the time for him to squeeze his way up.

Jiang Chiqiu and Ming Zhou Zhijing stood here side by side. They were very close to the window. After Jiang Chiqiu stood still, he heard the sound of chanting sutras from outside the window.

At this moment, Ming Zhou Zhi's hand hanging by his side suddenly lifted up slightly, and then he held Jiang Chi Qiu's hand tightly.

After being held by Ming Zhouzhi, Jiang Chiqiu's fingers couldn't help trembling.

In his memory, he hadn't been pulled by Ming Zhouzhi like this for many years - the last time Ming Zhouzhi held Jiang Chiqiu's hand was still in his childhood.

Although Jiang Chiqiu felt a little awkward being held by Ming Zhouzhi like this, he didn't take his hand away.

Jiang Chiqiu felt that Ming Zhou Zhi's hands were extremely cold at this time, and they were even trembling slightly.

The man in front of him seemed to be as elegant and calm as before, but his hands leaked out the panic and uneasiness in the man's heart.

Ming Zhou is nervous and afraid.

Jiang Chiqiu didn't know how he should comfort him, after thinking for a while, Jiang Chiqiu finally stretched out his other hand, and gently placed it on the back of Ming Zhouzhi's hand.

——For Ming Zhouzhi, the national teacher is not only the master, but also his family.

Jiang Chiqiu and Ming Zhouzhi just stood here silently.After a while, when the people in front dispersed a little, Ming Zhou Zhi then slowly let go of Jiang Chi Qiu's hand, and said the first sentence of the day to him: "Chi Qiu, go and have a look Him."

Knowing that he would not come tomorrow, Jiang Chiqiu walked to the national teacher's bedside alone.

The last time Jiang Chiqiu came to Zhufeng Temple to see the national teacher was only half a month ago.

But now Jiang Chiqiu saw that the man lying on the hospital bed was already so skinny that he hadn't seen him for half a month.The national teacher is obviously as old as Jiang Chiqiu's father, but right now he has white hair and looks very old.

When Jiang Chiqiu arrived here, the national teacher himself had his eyes tightly closed.

But after he stood here, the man lying on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes.

The man's eyes were a little muddy, and the way he looked at Jiang Chiqiu was also very complicated.

At this time, most of the people in the room had gone out, and Jiang Chiqiu's ear was extremely quiet.

"Jiang Chiqiu..." In Jiang Chiqiu's impression, the national teacher always called him "Jiang Danxue" before, and this seemed to be the first time the other party called him by his full name.

Hearing the national teacher calling himself, Jiang Chiqiu hurriedly took another half step forward, "I'm here, the national teacher."

The man raised his hand with great difficulty. He seemed to want to pull Jiang Chiqiu, but before his hand touched Jiang Chiqiu's sleeve, it fell down.

"Hmm..." The man nodded, "I saw you when you were born... At that time, you were just a little baby in a swaddling baby, and you looked so cute when you were white and round."

Or life is coming to an end, and the national teacher suddenly fell into memory.

He was weak when he spoke, and Jiang Chiqiu had to work hard to hear clearly what the national teacher was talking about.

"Later, your parents often brought you, and Jiang Hexia came to Zhufengguan, and they also asked me to see your future." The voice of the national teacher became weaker and weaker when he spoke, and he was already a bit sleepy the meaning of.

But at this point, the man suddenly coughed a few times, and then tried to open his eyes again.

"At that time, I saw that you left Baofan City after you became an adult, and went to the south to become a county guard... to spend your life in peace." The national teacher said here, and suddenly smiled.But Jiang Chiqiu saw that the other party's smile contained a bit of regret.

When he first came to this world, Jiang Chiqiu himself did not believe in Zhu Fengguan's calculations.But now more than ten years have passed, Jiang Chiqiu has seen the mystery of Zhufengguan...

"Until you are six years old..." The national teacher said suddenly.

After hearing the other party's words, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly became nervous.

Six years old is the time when I came to this world, did the national teacher see anything?

When Jiang Chiqiu was nervous, the national teacher closed his eyes and continued: "When I look at your future again, everything has changed. You have to raise your long sword and go to the battlefield... Cough cough, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."

Even though Jiang Chiqiu had already had a little guess about the future before that, he was still shocked by what the teacher said.

Own?Kill the enemy and make contributions?

Is the national teacher sure he didn't confuse him with his brother? This sentence seemed to reveal some secret. After finishing speaking, the national teacher, who was already pale, suddenly coughed up blood.

Seeing this, Ming Zhouzhi, who had been standing behind Zijiang Chiqiu, also walked quickly, and poured out a pill from the glass bottle placed aside to feed the national teacher.

The man stopped coughing, and he smiled and waved his hands lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... I still have an hour."

It turned out that the man had already calculated his own life.

Jiang Chiqiu didn't stay here for too long. After the national teacher finished saying that, the people in Zhufeng Temple trotted up and said that the emperor would come to Zhufeng Temple soon.

So Jiang Chiqiu had no choice but to take one last quick look at the man's pale face, and then quit the Shanhui Division.

When Jiang Chiqiu left, besides the sound of chanting scriptures from outside the window, there was actually the soft murmur of the national teacher in his ears.

His voice was very small, but Jiang Chiqiu could distinguish a line of poetry from it - one will succeed and ten thousand will die.

Jiang Chiqiu's heart was extremely heavy.

After going out and returning to the company, the sky outside was still dark.

The open space outside Shanhuisi was already full of people kneeling.

Jiang Chiqiu paused for a while after going out, and then, guided by the disciples of Zhufengguan, knelt down beside his parents.

Jiang Chiqiu heard that Jiang Hexia beside him was sobbing softly, and the expressions of the people around him were all extremely heavy.

Time passed by little by little, Jiang Chiqiu carefully counted in his mind how long was left in the hour that the national teacher said just now.

At this moment, there was an unusually noisy sound not far away, Jiang Chiqiu looked up and saw a bright yellow figure.

In the past few years, Jiang Chiqiu has also seen the emperor several times. In his opinion, this man looks like he has been hollowed out by wine and lust.

Today's emperor has big dark circles under his eyes, and he just appeared in the middle of Zhufeng Temple with an impatient face.

Jiang Chiqiu only glanced at him, and the next moment he was like everyone else, bowing his head and continuing to kneel here.

The sounds of chanting scriptures all around also temporarily stopped because of the arrival of the emperor, so the voice of the man was particularly obvious.

Jiang Chiqiu heard the emperor impatiently asking the people around him: "Is the national teacher still conscious now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the national teacher is still awake." A eunuch said quickly.

Hearing that the emperor's voice was amplified again, it reached the ears of everyone kneeling outside Shanhuisi.

"Still awake?" the emperor repeated, and said impatiently, "I thought you were so anxious to call me over because he was about to die!"

Jiang Chiqiu didn't worship the national teacher in the same way as ordinary people, but after hearing what the man said, he still frowned in displeasure.

Jiang Chiqiu couldn't hear the words behind, the man walked into the Shanhui Division, and asked the eunuch to close the door here.

At this time, the sky in the east was already pale, and after kneeling on the ground for a long time, even Jiang Chiqiu, the only boy, felt uncomfortable in his knees.

Jiang Chiqiu wanted to move his legs a little bit, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that even a 80-[-]-year-old dowager whom he couldn't name was kneeling here with a pious expression on his face. chanting.

So Jiang Chiqiu had no choice but to maintain his original posture and continue to kneel here.

Time passed by second by second, and when Jiang Chiqiu's legs and knees were stiff, a few bells suddenly rang in his ears.

Before Jiang Chiqiu could react, all the people kneeling outside Shanhuisi suddenly started bowing their heads in the direction of Shanhuisi.

At the same time, after hearing this bell, the bells in the entire Baofan City were also rang in turn.

Today, the bells are ringing, and the city is full of plains.

At the end of the summer of the 32nd year of Jishen, the national teacher of the Mu Dynasty became immortal.

This year was repeatedly mentioned in the annals of later generations, and it was from the moment the national teacher left that everything changed.

Jiang Chiqiu finally stood up after kowtowing three times with his parents.

He saw that at some point, Ming Zhouzhi, who was still in Shanhui Division just now, had come out.

The man stood in front of the high platform expressionlessly, and he casually scanned all the dignitaries in Baofan City.

Ming Zhouzhi naturally saw Jiang Chiqiu, but his eyes didn't stop on Jiang Chiqiu.Jiang Chiqiu felt a little strange about him like this.

Just now Jiang Chiqiu was only thinking about the matter of the national teacher, but now at the moment when he saw Ming Zhouzhi standing here, Jiang Chiqiu finally came to his senses - the man in front of him at this time is the new leader of Mu Chao. National teacher.

In the Mu Dynasty, the national teacher has an extraordinary status.Although they are the same people as everyone else, they are regarded and worshiped as gods by most people.

Previously, Ming Zhouzhi had conscientiously performed his duties as a national teacher when his master was ill.

But at this moment when his identity officially changed, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly felt that the person in front of him was clearly standing not far away, but the distance between them seemed to be pulled away instantly.

Jiang Chiqiu subconsciously clenched his hand, and the feeling of Ming Zhouzhi holding his hand just now seemed to have become strange with the passage of time.

The national teacher's funeral was extremely grand, and it lasted for seven days.Jiang Chiqiu even felt that all the people in Baofan City had appeared at the final ceremony.But Jiang Chiqiu did not participate in the ceremony from beginning to end, because on the second day of the funeral, he received a new task.

——It happened to be the time of grain harvest. This year’s famine itself was not as severe as in previous years, but the weather turned against people again during the grain harvest.

After several heavy rains and hailstorms, there was not enough food to eat.

Among them, the most severely affected place was Raogu County where Jiang Chiqiu's older brother Jiang Xianwen lived.

Raogu County has a large population, and it is also a border county of the Mu Dynasty. This place should not be messed up at all.

As usual, during the state teacher's funeral, Mu Chao's series of entertainment activities from top to bottom must be suspended.

And Mu Chao, the emperor who only knows pleasure, has been displeased with this matter recently.

After receiving the news of the disaster in Raogu County, the emperor became even more irritable.Years of extravagant life have made him completely lose interest in governing the country.

After hearing the reports from the ministers, the man waved his hand directly, ready to send someone to deliver the relief food as the prime minister said.

However, a series of problems accumulated by Mu Chao for many years were finally exposed at this time.

——The emperor discovered that there was not much food left in the treasury.

This is really an extremely dangerous signal. The emperor, who had never felt a sense of crisis, finally realized what kind of crisis Da Mu was facing after hearing the news.

At this time, the grain harvesting activities have just started, and Raogu County is considered the earliest batch.

Therefore, many people in the DPRK are still saying that perhaps the situation in the treasury can be alleviated when other counties receive grain one after another.

——Actually, he only needs to take a look at the weather conditions in various places this year, and he can find that what this minister said is all blind optimism.But after hearing what the other party said, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and then prepared to send someone to Raogu County to deliver food.

Logically speaking... this job itself has nothing to do with Jiang Chiqiu.

He is just an editor, and what he did in the past few years was to read and compile books.

But who is called Jiang Chiqiu has another identity: he is the younger brother of Jiang Xianwen stationed in Raogu County.

Today's holy majesty has ignored the government for many years, and occasionally does something on a whim, which is completely out of order.

Therefore, after thinking about the relationship between Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Xianwen, the man thought that Jiang Chiqiu was the least likely person in the court to play tricks when escorting disaster relief food, except for Jiang Shangshu.

So he waved his hand and sent Jiang Chiqiu directly to Raogu County.

When receiving this news, Jiang Chiqiu was really stunned.

As the editor of the Qing'an Academy, Jiang Chiqiu is not qualified to go to court.Therefore, he didn't know that he had such an inexplicable job after the imperial decree was passed to Qing'an Yuan.

Before Jiang Chiqiu said anything, Zhuo Yushen, Jiang Chiqiu's boss, suddenly said to the eunuch who came to pass on the imperial decree: "This matter is not in line with the regulations. Chi Qiu is only an editor of my Qing'an Academy. How can he forgive me?" What about Gu County?"

This truth may be understood by everyone except the emperor himself.

Jiang Chiqiu did not expect that Zhuo Yushen, who had always been known for his gentleness and elegance, would suddenly say these words so bluntly.

Hearing Zhuo Yushen's words, the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial decree smiled awkwardly and said, "This is what His Majesty meant."

"The situation in Raogu County is not stable. Chi Qiu is just a talented editor. How can he be asked to take charge of this matter?" Zhuo Yushen's voice was very anxious, and Jiang Chiqiu could tell that the other party really cared. Own.

In other words, in this world, apart from knowing tomorrow, Jiang Chiqiu might only be friends with Zhuo Yushen.

Zhuo Yucan has always taken care of Jiang Chiqiu during his career in the Qing'an Academy for so many years.

After hearing Zhuo Yushen's anxious tone, Jiang Chiqiu first stepped forward to salute and took the imperial decree, and then said to Zhuo Yushen: "Since the emperor has made a decision, then this matter... must have his reasons and considerations." .And I haven't seen my brother for many years, this time I can just visit him."

At this time the eunuch had already retreated, and only Jiang Chiqiu and Zhuo Yucan were left here.

Zhuo Yushen sighed and said, "I, Da Mu... really shouldn't be like this now."

Zhuo Yucan is a standard literati. Although he is the son of the prime minister, he has never regarded himself above himself for a day.

Jiang Chiqiu understood what Zhuo Yushen meant. As a person who was dedicated to doing something, Zhuo Yushen was naturally unhappy when he saw Mu Chao's current situation.

And after working with the other party for many years, Jiang Chiqiu also vaguely realized that although Zhuo Yushen looked gentle, in fact his nature was more "sharp".

It may not have been obvious a few years ago, but it can be seen from the way Zhuo Yucan directly questioned the eunuch just now.

Seeing that Jiang Chiqiu had already accepted the imperial decree, Zhuo Yushen didn't say any more.

As Jiang Chiqiu's boss, he still has some rights - for example, to give Jiang Chiqiu a vacation and ask him to go back and get ready.

So not long after receiving the imperial decree, Jiang Chiqiu returned home and started preparing things for Raogu County.

And after Jiang Chiqiu left Qing'an Yuan, looking at the vacant seat, Zhuo Yucan's heart suddenly felt a little empty.

After a few years, he has gotten used to Jiang Chiqiu's company...

Now Jiang Chiqiu was finally about to leave Qing'an Yuan and Zhuo Yucan's side.

The state teacher's funeral was not over yet, Jiang Chiqiu only made some preparations at home, and then left the capital as quickly as possible with food and grass.

Jiang Chiqiu was also a civil servant after all, and he left Baofan City in a carriage.

Coincidentally, on the way from Raogu County to Raogu County by car, I happened to pass by Zhufeng Temple.

If it were normal, according to Mu Dynasty's custom, the ministers who went to provide disaster relief should go to Zhufeng temple to pay their respects.But recently, during the funeral of the former national teacher, this event was also cancelled.

When passing Zhufeng Temple, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but pull the curtain and take a look outside just like when he was a child.

He saw that the entire Phoenix Temple was covered with white banners, which were swaying slightly with the wind.

Jiang Chiqiu sighed, and pulled the curtain back again.

At the same time, Ming Zhouzhi also walked out of his master's mourning hall, stood on the high platform of Zhufeng Temple and looked down.

"What is this?" The man saw the long line of carriages and horses.

The person standing beside him saluted first, and then said to Ming Zhouzhi: "Lord National Teacher, this is the team going to Raogu County for disaster relief." After saying this, he paused for a while and added Said: "Master Jiang Chiqiu led the team."

"Jiang Chiqiu?" Ming Zhou Zhi frowned and asked, "How could it be him?"

Ming Zhouzhi has been busy with Master's funeral affairs recently, and he hasn't slept or cared about other things for a long time.

Seeing that Ming Zhouzhi didn't seem to know about it, the people around him also quickly explained the emperor's decision.

Ming Zhouzhi didn't speak at first, but after a while of silence, he suddenly took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, "Go and catch up with the team, and give this to Jiang Chiqiu."

"Yes, Master National Teacher."

The man hurriedly picked up the jade pendant, and then quickly went down the mountain.

It's just that when he got the jade pendant, he couldn't help wondering: Why does the national teacher have such a jade pendant full of impurities and of average quality?

——As everyone knows, Ming Zhouzhi is an abandoned baby picked up by the former national teacher.

But what everyone didn't know was that this jade pendant was the only thing that Ming Zhouzhi's parents left for him.

"Master Jiang!" After leaving Zhufeng Temple for a while, one of them rushed to catch up with Jiang Chiqiu's carriage.

Hearing the sound outside, Jiang Chiqiu hurriedly opened the curtain to look.

Jiang Chiqiu didn't know who the person outside the carriage was, but he had a little impression of him - this person was from Zhufengguan.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chiqiu hurriedly asked, and by the way asked the motorcade to stop temporarily.

The man got off his horse, bowed to Jiang Chiqiu and said, "Master Guo Shi asked me to give it to you."

"Master National Teacher..." Jiang Chiqiu was still a little uncomfortable hearing these four words.

But after realizing that the person he was talking about was Ming Wuzhi, Jiang Chiqiu quickly took the things from the other party's hand.

"Okay, thank you tomorrow for me... no, Mr. National Teacher." Jiang Chiqiu subconsciously said.

"Yes, Lord Jiang."

The team delivering disaster relief food and grass could not stop for too long. After saying this sentence, the team moved forward again.

And after pulling the curtain of the car, Jiang Chiqiu carefully held the jade pendant Ming Zhouzhi had given him and looked at it.

Just now he was in a hurry to leave Jiang Chiqiu and only glanced at the jade pendant, but now after observing it for a while, Jiang Chiqiu recognized it.

Ming Zhouzhi told Jiang Chiqiu many years ago that this was the only thing his parents left him.

After remembering what it was, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help being taken aback.He never thought that Ming Zhou Zhi would give such a precious thing to himself.

Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help turning around and opening the car curtain again to take a look back, but it's a pity that the team has already marched into the mountains, and the Zhufeng Temple is already covered by trees and they can't see clearly.

The young man in the car was silent for a while, then took out the jade pendant he had been carrying from his collar, and solemnly replaced it with the one given by Ming Zhou Zhi.

From Baofan City to Raogu County, it will take about two days at a fast pace.

Although the team transporting grain and grass didn't stop for a moment, it was already three days later when they arrived in Raogu County.

Jiang Chiqiu saw that even though it was far away from the capital, Raogu County was still covered with white banners, commemorating the national teacher who had just passed away.

A few days ago, Jiang Xianwen had already received the news, and he knew that the person who came to Raogu County to deliver food this time was his younger brother Jiang Chiqiu.

So when the chariots and horses from Baofan City drove down the city, Jiang Xianwen came out of the city on a horse to meet Jiang Chiqiu.

They hadn't seen each other for almost six years.

The moment he saw Jiang Xianwen, Jiang Chiqiu felt both familiar and strange.

Six years had worn away Jiang Xianwen's vigor back then. He was no longer the proud young general in Jiang Chiqiu's memory, but a calm defender of the city.

Jiang Xian was darkened a lot, and there were some wrinkles on his cheeks.The moment Jiang Chiqiu saw him, his nose turned sour.

"Chi Qiu!" Jiang Xianwen dismounted and put both hands on Jiang Chiqiu's shoulders. After silently watching Jiang Chiqiu for a while, Jiang Xianwen finally said with satisfaction, "You have grown up... "

Jiang Xianwen was a very joking person when he was young, so on the way here, Jiang Chiqiu thought that when he saw Jiang Xianwen later, he would call the other party by his official name to see his reaction.

But at the moment when he saw Jiang Xianwen, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but call him "Brother..."

"Hey!" Jiang Xianwen stepped forward to give Jiang Chiqiu a hug, then he suddenly sighed and walked towards the city with his arms around Jiang Chiqiu's shoulders.

The joy of meeting Jiang Xianwen did not last long.After walking into Chengcheng, the first sight is a piece of hungry people lying on the ground with naked clothes.

"This is..." Jiang Chiqiu asked subconsciously.

Jiang Xianwen gave them a complicated look, and finally said to Jiang Chiqiu: "They are about to starve to death."

Starving to death, Jiang Chiqiu always felt that this word was very far away from him. He never thought that one day he would see so many people who were about to starve to death.

"This time I brought food from the capital. They shouldn't starve to death after eating it, right?" Jiang Chiqiu hurriedly said to Jiang Xianwen.

Unexpectedly, the man shook his head and said: "It's useless, eating now can't save them. The relief food should be distributed to those who can survive."

Jiang Xianwen's tone was very heavy, not at all like Jiang Chiqiu's brother in his impression.

These six years of life in Raogu County have really changed Jiang Xianwen a lot...

The two of them walked the long street silently all the way, and finally arrived at Jiang Xianwen's mansion.

Jiang Xianwen has already married and started a business here. He heard that Jiang Chiqiu was coming, and his sister-in-law, nephews and nieces had been waiting here for a long time.

As soon as he entered Jiang Xianwen's house, before Jiang Chiqiu had time to say hello to his sister-in-law, he saw two small figures bumping towards him.

Jiang Chiqiu was taken aback when he saw this, he quickly squatted down and hugged them into his arms.

At this time, Jiang Xianwen's long-lost laughter came from behind Jiang Chiqiu, and the man said, "Chi Qiu, these are your nephew and niece, one is two years old and the other is three years old."

Jiang Chiqiu had never held a child before, and after these two overly enthusiastic little dumplings rushed into Jiang Chiqiu's arms, they looked at him curiously.

"In my impression, you and He Xia are only this big." Jiang Xianwen sighed.

Jiang Chiqiu smiled, stood up slowly and said, "You speak as if you are a generation older than me."

Jiang Xianwen shrugged: "It's about the same..."

After returning home, Jiang Xianwen's expression gradually approached the appearance of the other party in Jiang Chiqiu's memory.

And Jiang Xianwen's words now made Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but think of the scene when he threw himself into the snowy field... Later, Ming Wuzhi gave Jiang Chiqiu a cloak so that he didn't freeze him out of the cold.

Recalling this, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly thought of Zhilai tomorrow.

Jiang Chiqiu touched the jade pendant subconsciously - he didn't know if Ming Zhouzhi, who had become a national teacher, was doing well now.
