Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 75: Farewell to the Victory

On the second day of the second month of the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing was about to read the month.

The huge affairs of such a great empire were immediately piled up on this old man who was about eighty. It was more difficult, more unbearable, and more complicated than when he was in the court last time. However, in the eyes of people in the officialdom of Bianliang, this old man still held power as always, and took control of what he lost again, and did not show much strength. He was still dealing with the complicated affairs of this empire every day. When it was time to pay attention, he was always on time. He was not like the elderly who had been ill in the house for two years.

During the period of ban, it was also quiet. The official family did not make any trouble. The insiders even knew that during this period, the Li Shishi and the official family had fewer people. Cai Jing was still as favored as ever. As soon as the early summer season entered, he gave the summer sacrificial soup several times. He also issued a number of imperial edicts to allow Cai Jing to take matters in the palace. Cai Jing did not accept it as naturally as before. The above statement said that after a few years of rest, his strength was still good, and he could be on duty in the political affairs hall. If he was really weak, he would beg for bones and dare not delay national affairs. The king and his subjects looked harmonious.

The hidden figure in the forbidden area has rarely been on the spot these days, and mostly accompanied the officials in the forbidden area. He did not say anything about Cai Jing's actions on the part of the matter. It seemed that he had accepted this reality.

Since the Supreme Power Center is so congested, the people in Bianliang's attention has turned to other places. The Privy Council's Privy Council's statutes are still vacant. I don't know whether Wu Min is promoted or a qualified person can get a pill.

Yanjing is near, and the three Western army troops are stationed in Bianliang, hoping to allow the three Western army to return to Shaanxi as soon as possible. If the Western army does not stay, then the military towns will be reopened in Yan. Some descendants of the honorary and Qi who are in the capital are already looking for the opportunity to regain military power. It is one thing to be complicated. It is not that easy to fight yet? If you can lead thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers, it is not that easy to die. You are not as civil servants as you have so many opportunities to make a living in Bianliang. Many military officials are now quite embarrassed, and they have a position to make a fortune. The decades of war in Shaanxi have made the Western generals all frivolous. Seeing that there is nothing wrong in Shaanxi now and the Western thieves are weak, the focus of the military will be shifted to Hebei. How can you miss this good opportunity easily?

There are also some things that attract people's attention. Tong Guan and Wang Fu have been in office, but they have not yet resigned. Although Liu Yanqing has returned to Beijing and was imprisoned, he has not yet agreed to the charge. Many people offended their husbands and their party when Cai Jing was in office. Now they can't curry favor with each other, and are still watching the cold stove. Cai Jing's party is in power now, and there are also some revenge. Some of the people who suffer will accept their fate, while others will try their best to escape the position. The entanglement is quite lively.

All kinds of sects were added together, and when the center of power in the Song Dynasty was in a state of peace, Bianliang did not lose the topic of discussion.

In addition to these political struggles, as a scholar and official of the Song Dynasty, the most important thing is life. It is already the time when summer begins, and the villas that have disappeared in the countryside are going to be renovated. The ice cubes in the cellars are going to be dug out. The summer days are long, and various banquets that have disappeared in the afternoon are also going to be prepared. In Jinghu, the harvest of other industries in Jiangnan is in the sky. At this time, it is time to continuously pass through the Bian River to enter Bianliang. We must carefully store and calculate the profits and losses. In summer, various markets and shops in Bianliang are even more lively at night, and the people are also leisurely.

You have to experience it, wearing kudzu clothes, carrying a palm fan, and taking a few servants who deliberately dressed up in the village. Walking around the ghost market on Panlou Street, drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup at the bottom of the iron filing building, watching two shops across the street scold each other, and laughing, it is also the joy of life. Those government struggles in courts are like passing clouds and smoke, who cares about them. The north has settled, the Song Dynasty has become a prosperous country, and the frontier soldiers can put horses on the south mountain. No matter who is on the court, there are scholars and officials with a bowl of happy rice. I hope that this time will last forever and will never be moved easily

Whether it is the court or the wild interests of the people, at the beginning of June, they all turned to another thing. The army attacked Yan had already triumphantly and stationed outside the city. On the third day of June, the generals came to visit the army on Xuande Tower to show their power and show their victory. The people were on the way to watch. After the victory, the generals would comfort the Taimiao and sacrifice to all directions. At that time, all civil and military officials would be rewarded. The elderly people over 60 years old in Bianliang City would be rewarded and the lights were always on the front line. Until the Zhongyuan, Jinwu couldn't help but have a carnival in the whole city.

Think about it, what a great excitement this is? The successful attack on Yan, and the Song Dynasty may not necessarily encounter another one for another a hundred years. Not to mention the lantern market that started more than a month in advance.

Most people in Bianliang have helped the elderly and young. In the past few days, they went to the army stationed outside Nanxun to watch the fun. All the people who participated in this ceremony were busy. Bianliang City had fallen into a fever and restlessness for a while, and many people even heard of the legendary story of Xiao Yan in Nangui. At that time, they must see how Xiao Yan is. Is he two feet tall and ten feet wide, and his body is stained with blood.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

On the night of the second day of June, there were people coming and going in the Political Affairs Hall. Cai Jing was wearing a gauze mid-lane. Under the family's consorts, the official family could bring them to the Political Affairs Hall, and half-sitting on the Huchu, dealing with these tomorrow's victory one by one. Anyone who is within the power of the Political Affairs Hall, Cai Jing closed his eyes and dealt with his own affairs. Whoever should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be

I don’t know how many people come and go, but Cai Jingdu dealt with them one by one, not at all. The people who have been here are all admired. My husband is old and his mind is awake, but he has not diminished slightly.

The three officials Gao Shu was Cai Jing's confidant, so when they came, they would not wait for Cai Jing to receive him on time. The officers had led him to the front and went straight into the political affairs hall. He was a popular person at this moment. If Cai Jing had not wanted him to hold the Song Dynasty's money bag firmly, he might have entered the political affairs hall. At this moment, the officials waiting for the audience to meet outside all stood up and greeted him respectfully. Gao Shu didn't say a big smile to greet him. After a while, he had been walking for a while.

When Gao Zha entered the place where Director Cai Jing of the Political Affairs Hall, a layer of sweat had already appeared on his head. Seeing Cai Jing grabbing this little while closing his eyes to rest, two picturesque maids behind him were there, and he suffocated. Gao Zha smiled and bowed, and said with a smile: "The Grand Master has worked so hard that the soldiers of more than 10,000 soldiers have returned. They are still tired of being so tired of the Grand Master Wang Jinjing's three years of power, but if there is a big deal, they are all gone. The Grand Master has to sort it out clearly... Xiao Yan is also very happy about his achievements, what victory should he give?"

Cai Jing opened his eyes slightly and called Gao clogs to sit down. Gao clogs complained and picked up a brocade stool to sit down. Naturally, someone gave him a tea soup for heat relief. Cai Jing said softly: "Restoring Yanjing is the wish of the dynasty for a hundred years. Giving victory to Taimiao and offering rewards to the suburbs are all appointed by the officials. Don't say... Even these soldiers of the army are also meritorious ministers. This move is a major event that will highlight the country's prestige and uplift people's hearts. Xiao Yan has been working hard since he surrendered, and it is also a good thing to enjoy this scenery. Xiqing, speak carefully, and at this moment, we are in power, so don't let anyone find any handle."

Gao Shu was not interested in this. Since Cai Jing gave the order, he agreed. But he felt a little dissatisfied.

My husband took Xiao Yan so seriously, and he had to use it for time. My husband wanted to help him into the Western Palace of the Song Dynasty in the Privy Council. There had never been any surrender in it. Even if my husband wanted to take charge of military affairs, even if Taiwei Gao was ill and dying, the old generation seemed to have not gone too far, and there was still the one who was running around. What should I expect Xiao Yan to do? Now there is news, and that Master Yin Xiang will never allow Xiao Yan to enter the Privy Council. He can exert influence over the three yamen. The status of the hidden star is not easily shaken by his husband. To be honest, my husband is already at this age and has not gone too far, so he should consider it for their loyal subordinates. Why bother to hate the hidden star like this? In the future, everyone will fight him back.

However, in front of Cai Jing, Gao Shu would never say these words in his heart. Even if he was a confidant, he would not be able to do so. He was slightly lost for a moment and remembered his intention. He frowned and smiled bitterly: "Tai Shi, my subordinates are really exhausted and cannot support me. At this moment, the Tai Shi is busy and he is still here to worship him rashly. He is really here to ask for an idea...... How can this year's cost be perfunctory?"

Cai Jing opened his eyes and said, "Is there no money again?"

The tall clogs smiled even harder and spread their hands together: "The three treasurys kept the treasures, which were only a few million tillions at the beginning of the year. The destruction of the Yan Dynasty was made by Wang Fu, which had nothing to do with the three treasurys. The Yan Dynasty was settled, so all the rewards were used. On weekdays, the salaries of officials, the funds for the imperial guards, and the sporadic expenses were supported by the Beijing-civilian merchant tax and levies. The treasures were already empty. This year, the Bian River was dredged, and it was moved to the second half of the year.

............There are reports on the transfer of all routes. Starting from April in the first half of the year, it will not be collected until July. Hebei's third routes are no longer expected. Not to mention Shaanxi, other places have been 70% of the year, even if they are better. In addition, the sales of market officials are at most 30 million, less than 40 million yuan. Every one of them is useful, and they still have accumulated a lot of money. I am afraid there are still holes for tens of millions of yuan. The income in the second half of the year is not as good as the first half of the year, but winter is just starting, especially when river workers use money everywhere. This deficit is even greater. Not to mention him, it is just that he is hard to pass every year. But the suburban sacrifices are so rewarded, and the subordinates are really perfunctory."

Cai Jing frowned.

The Song Dynasty was indeed quite generous to the bureaucratic system. In addition to the salaries, there were dozens of names and more than a hundred kinds of allowances at the peak, every three years, there was also a suburb sacrifice. After the suburb sacrifice, all civil and military officials had rewards, most of them were given regular salary for two years, and the few were also worth dozens of stakes. In addition to the rewards, there were also grace. The children of ministers and ministers above the fifth rank could enter the official career, and a group of people who immediately had to eat the financial meals of the Song Dynasty. As the redundant officials continued to grow, each suburb sacrifice rewarded grace became a difficult task for the three officials.

This time in the fifth year of Xuanhe, the embarrassment was ten times more than before. After a war, some old foundations were cleaned up and still owed a lot. In order to fight against Yan, he had already searched for a donation to attack Yan, and rebelled Fang La in Jiangnan. Even if he was crazy at this moment, he would not dare to increase taxes. Now the three routes in Hebei are exhausted and need to go through more years. Yan can only invest money in it. It turns out that living with the Liao Kingdom peacefully, the large amount of income in the tent market could not be expected. The income was reduced and there were many places where the money was paid. This suburban sacrifice was almost tens of millions of yuan. How could this be called the three sects empty?

This is not just a perfunctory suburban sacrifice. The deep reason is that the financial system of the Song Dynasty was almost collapsed at this time. With millions of soldiers, only more than 100,000 people could fight. More and more officials were raised, but the court struggles became more and more fierce. The redundant officials and soldiers had reached the extreme, and the depreciation was more and more serious. Everyone was helpless. The Song Dynasty economy developed to this point, and the currency circulation was extremely large every year. In fact, it had a great dependence on such depreciation. Once the issuance of the jiāo banknotes collapsed, the entire Song Dynasty economy would be destroyed and hit. What would happen then is something that even people in power would dare not think about.

After Gao Shu finished speaking, he waited quietly there, waiting for Cai Jing to come up with some ideas. Cai Jing has always been famous for his financial management and eventually became this position. After several ups and downs, all because the government cannot do anything, he can't stay away from his financial management skills. He is always worse than him when he replaces people. Cai Jing relies on sorting taxes, cutting off some expenses, and even by reducing taxes, he has introduced a large number of luxury goods from various foreign ships to collect money, supporting the Song Dynasty's financial system for so many years. Now Gao Shu also hopes that he can still come up with some ways to make his eyes shine.

Cai Jing frowned there for a while, and finally whispered: "It's been a year and a half since the last jiāo money. I'll issue another 30 million yuan, and I can always perfunctorily end this year. I'll talk about other things in the future..."

Gaozha was stunned, stood up and said in a trembling voice: "Taoshi, how can this be done?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Gaozha is in charge of the Three Sessions. How can he not know the issuance of the Jiāo banknotes? Every time the Jiāo banknotes are issued, the three Sessions always have one-third of the storage reserves as support. Even in the last session, they only issued 20 million guan, which is an unprecedented number. This time, 30 million guan was issued, and there was no support for the storage. How much of this guannote should be depreciated? Isn’t this a matter of drinking poison to quench thirst?

Cai Jing waved his hand, and the two maids shinv immediately stepped down silently. Cai Jing pressed Hu Chuáng and stood up slowly. Gao clogs were too surprised and actually forgot to support him, but just stood there and looked at him blankly.

Cai Jing rarely showed a depressed and old look on his face and sighed heavily: "Xiqing, why should I catch my guard now if I want someone to start sorting it out? Wang Jinjing has been in charge of the three years of administration, and he is already full of his people. He is hosting the hidden image behind the scenes, just wanting someone to look good. No matter which way he takes, he installs a certain person in the bag and transfers the local people to the Sansi and removes some major work in the local area, which is to do their benefits. He immediately became entangled. This time, he can restore his position, and his status is no longer as stable as before. If this is the case, he can't even support the official family's suburban sacrifice. How can he be content with his position?"

He walked a few steps and looked back at Gaozhan: "......... What's more, NV really rises, in the next few years, border affairs will definitely happen frequently. Once border events occur, the powerful brigade can be controlled by the hidden party, and some are unable to control the troops. At that time, I was afraid that in Bianliang, I would not have to take the Shenwu Changsheng Army, which is the most capable of fighting, so that I would not be able to follow the same mistake that Tong Guan and Wang Fu were connected that day. This is the reason why someone wanted to reuse Xiao Yan and hold the commander of the commander, and temporarily perfunctorily passed the empty difficulty in the hiding in front of me, so that I could stabilize my pace and sort it out slowly. The new thirty million jin of jiāo money, even if it is poisonous, I have to swallow Xiqing first. Do you understand?"

Gao clog blinked his eyes, as if he had understood Cai Jing's painstaking efforts at this moment. He nodded slowly: "Since that's the case, my subordinates will try their best to do it. As long as the Grand Tutor issued the new jiāo banknote here, my subordinates should do their best to preside over all this."

Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said, "It is not difficult to issue a new jiāo money. Yin Xiang will never be evil. The suburbs' sacrifices require money perfunctorily, and the more you send, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be, the more you will be,

Gao Zha suddenly realized why Cai Jing was so respectful, but he personally organized this great event for victory. He was everywhere? The army stationed outside Nanxun Mén provided convenience, for fear of any mistakes. He was not afraid of money, and tried his best to decorate everything. The reason was here. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be a little jealous of Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan was useful and his status was important, I was afraid that he was second only to him, Cai Jing's current first confidant.

He whispered, "Are there any other types available..."

Cai Jing glared at him, and his tone was a little annoyed: "The old Western army's xiǎo species are deeply rooted in the various routes in Shaanxi. Now they are self-righteous. I just want to return to the various routes in Shaanxi as soon as possible. I can drive it out to them. How can the Liang Yinxiang in the forbidden area be unable to drive it out to them? They can get along well with each other. When they have any results in the end, I am afraid it will be too late. As long as I return to Shaanxi, the old generation xiǎo species

Who will deal with you? Today, the Western Army is equivalent to the vassal states, how can Xiao Yan compare to the attack on Tong Guan and Wang Fu, and finally help me restore my husband to the resumption. He will inevitably be unable to join the party with Liang Yin, the Liang Yin, who was in charge. Even if he defected to me, Tong Guan will return to Bianliang one day to be useful. How can Xiao Yan and Tong Guan handle themselves at that time? How can he compare to Tong Guan's deep foundation? In terms of emotion and reason, he can only rely on me to the reason in this. Do you still not understand?"

Gao claws had a little cold sweat on his forehead, and people's hearts were only small, but Cai Jing's attainments in this area were already perfect. How could he compare? Gao claws also regretted it a little. Cai Jing's re-emergence, and his party might not be as glorious as before. It seems that there are great hidden worries, but it is not as good as selling himself to join the other day? The other party... But it's too late to say anything now. I followed Cai Jing until this time I re-emergence, and it was already a big enemy in the other party's eyes. Only xiǎo car did not fall down and just pushed it...

At this moment, the words were all said. Gao Zhan could only take a back solemnly. When he left, he seemed to remember everything and turned around and whispered: "Taoshi, where is the grand master..."

Cai Jing's face was even more angry and waved his hands repeatedly: "No need to say that the evil beast cannot tolerate him here, let him find another way."

What I said at this moment is naturally the one who is the Grandpa Cai You. In the war against Yan, he was the deputy minister of the Political Affairs Hall and the deputy envoy of the Hebei Third Route Pacification and Control Commission. Now there is only a Hanlin scholar like a scholar. He has not been in charge of the states, so he has already seen Cai Jing’s regaining prefecture.

After thinking about it, Cai You seemed to have discovered the benefits of his father again. He asked him to reconcile his relationship with him. He naturally had no relatives, so Gaozhe was entrusted to speak to Cai Jing, but Cai Jing immediately scolded him. Today, Gaozhe had touched a lot of nails, so he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only salute deeply and turn around and say goodbye.

After leaving the political affairs hall, Gao Zha reacted a little. Cai You continued to stand in Liang Shicheng's party. Even if Cai Jing lost power, the wealth of the Cai family could be preserved. God knows whether the father and son played a role that day? Cai Jing was angry just now, not for something else, but for the anger that his son couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to come back to the same party with him. If Cai Jing was not in harmony, wouldn't he be in trouble in the future?

Thinking of this possibility, Gaozha couldn't help but sweat. The official career was dangerous, and he was really frightened every step of the way. The Cai family still had a chance to retreat, but he had no way out and could only tie him up with Cai Jing. Outside the Political Affairs Hall, he couldn't help but look at Nanxun.

Since that's the case, Xiao Yan has already regarded Cai Jing as a great help. Then it's his high clogs' hope. Tomorrow, Xiao Yan has to take out all his skills and can get the eyes of the official family in an instant. He may also put it on this Nan Guishen whom he has always looked down upon.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Just as Cai Jing was worried, the Shenwu Changsheng Army and Huanqing Army were stationed in a military camp outside Nanxun. They were busy preparing for the various things that would come to the imperial court tomorrow. In the military camp, flags and flags were rectified, war horses were washed, armor and weapons were polished, and various utensils were added. Everyone was busy. The imperial street praised merits and the officials offered victory in front of the officials. Many soldiers and soldiers would never want to do such things in their lifetime. Although everyone was so busy that they were like a top, everyone looked happy.

Near Bianliang, the imperial guards were more than 700,000 troops at the peak of the imperial guards. There were military camps everywhere. At this time, as a large number of imperial guards were continuously transferred to Shaanxi to fill defense, they had gradually transformed into Western troops. The imperial guards in Bianliang had a huge amount of more than 500,000 in the military book. There were more than 500,000 in the military book, and there were actually no one to tell the truth. There were also a large number of imperial guards in Bianliang who had been here for many generations and had settled down. In addition to occasionally serving, they were just living at home. In addition to occupying the service, many of the military camps built had no soldiers to fill, and gradually became abandoned. Many people were occupied by officials and nobles to become their own property. Even so, there were still many abandoned camps left.

This time, one of the places was selected to accommodate the Shenwu Changsheng Army and Huanqing Army. The abolition camp was more than enough. Since Cai Jing surrendered, the officials of the great xiǎo were very dedicated and restored the abolition camp at any cost. The two armies moved in and felt that it was simply to the sky compared to the wind and dining along the way. Moreover, various supplies were continuously sent into the camp. The army had to pluck up the courage to propose it and immediately delivered it. In the end, everyone also became bold and spoke loudly. These civil officials who had always looked down on military officials had no place to give a leniency. What did they want? No obstacle at all.

The two armies have been repairing here for two days, and it can be seen that there are some strange things. The army is in charge, so naturally some officials come to comfort me first. It was supposed to be the main missionary of the Privy Council, but this time, there was only one low-level official in the Privy Council. He came to the Shenwu Changsheng Army and comfort me quickly. He casually talked about some etiquette and taboos in front of the imperial army, and then left in a hurry. However, the Privy Council Deputy Envoy Wu Min came in person, and the great assistants, and all responded to the Huanqing Army. He lingered in the Huanqing Army for a whole day.

The Shenwu Changsheng Army could not curry favor with the Privy Council here, but waited for Kaifeng Prefecture. Speaking of which, as a place, Kaifeng Prefecture had no place to overcome. However, this world's No. 1 prefect was lingering in the Shenwu Changsheng Army for a whole day, and also brought a lot of cattle and wine to reward, with the specifications not inferior to the Privy Council. He asked about his well-being and checked the appearance of the Shenwu Changsheng Army. But Xiao Yan and the others were together, and they knew everything and said everything. They also clearly explained the etiquette and taboos in front of the imperial court. They also looked at Xiao Yan and smiled, looking like they were their own people.

Bianliang is undercurrent now, and Xiao Yan has also known a little bit. Fang Teng had returned to Bianliang a day early and went back to several people for a while. Although he had not visited Cai Jing, he had already found out the details. When he came back, everyone would naturally be clear about what to sell in this dull gourd.

Since Wu Min surrendered, he wanted to do his best to boost the morale of Huanqing Army and make the Emperor's Street praise the merits and victory, and to compare the Shenwu Ever Victory Army. Even if he was not good, he would not give Xiao Yan any chance to show his performance. As for Cai Jing, he hoped that Xiao Yan could be in front of the official family and to exert force. In the court, the Shenwu Ever Victory Army had already felt it clearly before entering Bianliang City.

Since we knew it, there was nothing to worry about. We left Hejian and kept a distance from Huanqing Army for a long time along the way, and were still practicing during the marching. Compared to when we were in Hejian Mansion, the army had a lot of silences. Xiao Yan's other details were also completed in sequence. At that time, it would be a mule or a horse to take a walk.

Seeing Xiao Yan and the others' calm appearance, Kaifeng Mansion said goodbye half with confidence and half nervously. He just said that Xiao Yan had something to do, and as long as Kaifeng Mansion could do it, he would cooperate with him all. Xiao Yan didn't care much about it. After perfunctory, Kaifeng Mansion would be overturned, and everything would be done step by step.

The sky gradually darkened, and the noise in the military camp gradually stopped. The military camp where the Shenwu Changsheng Army was located returned to its usual purity. Because outside the capital of Bianliang, the cavalry was difficult to release. However, the camp wall was on duty, and he still had not slackened. On the other side, the Huanqing Army camp was still in full swing, and everyone was trying to prepare for the last time.

Xiao Yan rode alone, followed Fang Teng and Xiao Ran out of the camp. In the night, he came to a place where you could see the city wall of Bianliang. The two stood together, speechless for a long time.

At night, the city of Bianliang surrounded by four rivers seems to be boundless and endlessly stretching towards the distance. The city wall is tall and solid, and the moat is ten feet wide. This is the greatest city of this era and the center of civilization. When it is dark in other parts of the world at night, the night-long lights in Bianliang City illuminate the night sky above our heads. The prosperous and lively scene inside seems to be felt through the city walls.

Xiao Yan watched this civilization miracle founded by his ancestors a thousand years ago, and his heart was ups and downs. He had been flowing backwards for thousands of years in the long river of time, and had experienced so many bloody battles, and had been through life and death, as if he had spent his whole life before he got here. For anyone with a Chinese plot, it was like coming to Xianyang during the Qin Dynasty and Chang'an in the Han and Tang Dynasties. This was also a kind of pilgrimage.

The things he wanted to defend were truly presented to him. Xiao Yan actually had an illusory feeling.

It has been invisible for thousands of years. Even if it is me, it has changed a long time ago. It has not much similarity with that reporter Xiao Yan. The ignorance of learning, the first knowledge of people and affairs in junior high school, the youth of high school, the nonsense of college, and the struggle and struggle of society seem to be a dream that has faded.

Fang Teng whispered behind Xiao Yan: "My Lord Xiao, what are you thinking about until now? Are you worried about winning tomorrow?"

Xiao Yan did not turn around, but just shook his head and gave an answer that was beyond Fang Teng's expectations: "I miss my parents."

Fang Teng was stunned. Xiao Yan had never mentioned his family before, but at this time he raised his ears and listened carefully, and then he heard Xiao Yan continue to speak softly: "............ No more? They have the opportunity to be filial to them... But if they knew what I was doing now, they would be very pleased...... I was from an orthodox military family. The education I received from xiǎo is to love this country, love this nation, and do things that are beneficial to the country and nation. Since the society has been in the ups and downs, I thought I had forgotten it was clean, but I didn't expect to come here......Along the way, I killed so many people and experienced so many tests, and I am still on this road. It's just because we have been taught like this since xiǎo... There is no way, it's in my bones."

Xiao Yan muttered softly, so light that it was almost inaudible: "Tomorrow, I will succeed. Because I cannot fail."
