In a blink of an eye, it was October of the following year.

As soon as winter entered, there was light snow like salt grains in the Sui capital.

Early in the morning, Ji An led the palace servants to clean the snow in the courtyard. When he walked outside the Weirui hall, he found a red plum blossom outside the hall. A few branches of Nong Li were dotted in the white world. As hot as a flame.

It happened that Gao Gong also came over, Ji An put up his sleeves and said to him with a smile: "This year the plum blossoms bloom early, which is a good omen, Your Highness must be happy to see it."

After the spring banquet this year, Sui Heng rushed to Lishan to train troops. He stayed in the Lishan camp for several months without returning. Later, after returning to live for a few days during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he led his troops northward to inspect the northern countries.The Sui Emperor's birthday will be in a few days, and Ji An guessed that it will be two days before His Highness comes back.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of horseshoes outside, and then, a tall, thin boy in black with a cute baby face, with a high ponytail and a black black armor, walked in from outside the mansion with a sword .

"Ten directions!"

Ji An and Gao Gong were overjoyed, they went up to meet him and asked, "Your Highness is back?"

Shi Fang nodded, his eyes were bright, and he smiled into a crescent moon: "Your Highness will go to the palace to meet His Majesty, report the situation of this northern tour, and send me to come back first and talk to the two general managers."

After more than a year, Shifang has gained a lot of stature, and he has grown stronger and more capable.

There was fine snow on his shoulders, but his face was flushed with hot sweat, obviously he had rushed all the way back.

Ji An asked the palace servants to bring him a bowl of hot wine, and said, "Don't worry, we guessed that His Highness should come back, and the ground dragon was burned a few days earlier, is His Highness all right outside?"

Shifang said everything was fine.

Shifang had to go to the Bingma Division to report to his orders. After delivering the news, he drank not a drop of the wine in the bowl, and rode away on horseback.The other courtyard returned to silence, Ji An looked at the burning red plum in the courtyard, and couldn't help but miss the precious and lively time before.

At that time, the other courtyard was full of people coming and going every day, full of joyful atmosphere.

It's a pity that things are different and people are different. I'm afraid there will never be such a day again, unless His Highness is willing to marry a concubine and add another master to the mansion.

The birthday of the Sui Emperor was congratulated from all over the world. In the past two days, at the gate of the Sui capital, foreign envoys from various countries could often be seen entering the city. There were Jiangbei subordinate countries, Jiangnan subordinate countries, and even big countries like Qi that had good relations with Sui.

Today happens to be the day when Qi envoys enter the Sui capital.

Since Qi State sent envoys to Sui last year and formally made good relations with Sui State, the two sides have maintained a friendly relationship. Every year and festivals, envoys will be sent to send gifts and greetings.Although there was an unexpected event last year, such as the death of Tian Meng, the fierce general of the Qi State, in the capital of Sui Dynasty, it was an accident for all to see, and the relationship between the two countries was not affected in any way.

This year, the envoys of the State of Qi are still led by Tian Que. Tian Que has now sat in the position of prime minister and is the real important minister of the king of Qi.On the birthday of Emperor Sui, King Qi sent his prime minister to the capital of Sui to congratulate him in person, which shows his sincerity.

In addition to a group of civil servants, there are also a few fierce generals, Tian Ye is also among them.

As soon as Tian Meng died, Tian Ye was appreciated by the King of Qi for his outstanding performance in the siege. Now he can be regarded as a famous general in Qi. Position.

With Tian Meng’s lessons learned, Tian Wei warned Tian Ye that he must be cautious in his words and deeds in the Sui Dynasty, and must not make troubles indiscriminately, especially remember not to offend anyone.

Tian Ye asked who it was.

Tian Que said, "Prince of the Sui Kingdom."

Naturally, Tian Ye knew the prestige of the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom, and Tian Ye had also heard about Tian Meng being shot to death by Sui Heng because he offended Sui Heng.

When Tian Ye heard it for the first time, he actually couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that there were such arrogant and domineering people in the world, and he couldn't believe that someone could crush Tian Meng by force.

Tian Ye couldn't help asking: "Prince Sui, what kind of person is he?"

Tian Que said: "The real proud son of heaven."

Tian Ye was taken aback.

Tian Yu glanced at him and said, "Your arrogance and conceit, your proud military strength, are not worth mentioning in front of him."

"Also, I heard that in the past two years, he has deliberately restrained his edge and hibernated. Compared with before, his behavior has changed a lot, but it is even more terrifying than before."

"That's a wild wolf that was bred in blood. You must not take the initiative to provoke it, otherwise, even the truth will not be able to save you."

Tian Ye kept it in mind.

He is different from Tian Meng, although he also has the arrogance and arrogance that Tian's military generals generally have, but he is much more knowledgeable about current affairs than Tian Meng, and he is more pleasing to people than Tian Meng.

Now is the critical period for him to climb up, so he will not be reckless and ignorant like Tian Meng to offend the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom. If there is a chance, he is even willing to take the opportunity to curry favor with the other party and find more ways out for himself.

After all, Sui State is now the real overlord of Jiangbei, with strong national power and prosperity, if he can't stay in Qi in the future, it would be a good choice to come to Sui State to serve the Sui State Crown Prince.In this era, it is normal for a good bird to choose a tree to live in, and a good minister to choose a master to serve. The right Sima Chen Qi who holds an important position in the army and horses in the Sui Kingdom today is not from the south of the Yangtze River.

Today and that day, it is more nourishing and comfortable than the heads of some subordinate countries.

There are too many people in Qidu who want to hug Tianyu's thigh, and Duan Xiyue, who doesn't like him, controls the government. Tian Ye is not sure how far he can go in his official career in Qi.

While Tian Ye and Tian Que were talking, a group of iron cavalry galloped by like a dark cloud, raising a big cloud of smoke.

Tian Ye had been in the army for a long time, and it was the first time he saw such an imposing soldier and horse. He hurriedly asked, "Who just passed by?"

Tian Que said: "Blue Wolf Camp."

"Is that the Qinglang Camp founded by the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom?"

Tian Ye wanted to take another look, but the team of cavalry had already disappeared at the end of the street, and Tian Ye only captured a few afterimages.

"To be precise, it is the remodeled Qinglang Camp. I heard that for more than a year, the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom has mobilized his troops and repeatedly polished them. He has created more than [-] new formations and tactics that are invincible in the Lishan Camp. He personally led the soldiers day and night. Practice has improved, and the strength of the Qinglang Battalion is several times more terrifying than before."

Qi State is also very powerful in terms of military strength, but Tian Yu still admires the strength of Qinglangying.

As the snow fell harder and harder, Tian Wei didn't stop for a long time. After checking his identity at the city gate, he was led to the post by the official of the Sui Dynasty who was in charge of receiving foreign envoys.

In such a snowy day, it is naturally most suitable to close the door and stay at home.

The people on the street are in a hurry, and the vendors on both sides of the street are also busy packing up their things and going home early. A painter in plain clothes and with wooden hairpins is also busy cleaning up his art booth. He was teaching painting in the school. , Recently, because my wife was ill and urgently needed money, I came out to set up a stall to sell paintings. Unfortunately, the weather has been bad for the past two days.A gust of cold wind swept through, and all the thick stacks of paintings on the long case were blown away and scattered all over the floor. The artist was startled, and hurriedly ran around to pick them up. These were all the works he had painstakingly drawn in the past year. Difficulty, I am not willing to take it out and sell it at a low price.

Two paintings were blown to the street, the artist finished picking up the inside, hugged his arms full, and was about to run out to pick it up, but suddenly a group of cavalry passed by in front of him like thunder and lightning, and the whole street followed Shake up.

The artist dodges in a hurry, waits for the cavalry to pass by, and immediately rushes to the street to pick up the drawing paper that is still lying quietly in the middle of the street. Unexpectedly, he leans over, and just as his hand touched the edge of the drawing paper, another long-boned hand suddenly stretched out from above. Hand, picked up the drawing paper.

The painter raised his head in surprise, and met a pair of deep and cold eyes, and a handsome face.And the cavalry that passed by like a ghost just now turned back at some point.

The leader has high black hair, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and is wearing a black cloak. He has a noble and cold temperament. At this moment, his thin lips are tightly pursed, and his eyes seem to be fixed, focusing on the painting in his hand.

In the painting, the young man in a green shirt is holding the Jisang flower, which symbolizes auspiciousness and wishfulness, and is looking up at the handsome young man opposite him with a smile on his lips.

Mr. Xiao Lang sat under a willow tree with his sleeves stretched out, with the slowly flowing Qushui River behind him, his green sleeves naturally hanging down in the grass, and a few clusters of unknown purple flowers blooming beside him.

The spring is warm and harmonious, but the thousands of spring colors are not as good as his demeanor of holding flowers and smiling.

Side title of the painting: March [-]rd, a spring feast, will be remembered forever.

The slender fingers holding the painting trembled almost imperceptibly.
