The clouds were dim and the eagle swept across the sky. The flying figures looked down at the earth. The spreading flags continued. The cavalry roared and drove the way forward. The armor cut by swords and axes showed its majestic appearance. Looking at the outline of the city ahead and across the field of vision, more than 2,000 cavalrymen were waiting in line.

"dismount--"

Gongsun Zhi raised his hand, Li Ke shouted at the top of his voice, and the cavalry behind him roared and rolled off his horse. Dozens of soldiers came over with the jar, one of which was held by Gongsun Yue, and followed Gongsun Zhi to the opposite side. Among the cavalry lined up there, a figure slowly walked a few steps, moving faster and faster. Then he ran. When approaching, he suddenly knelt down and moved towards the jar, his eyes were wet and red, his lips were trembling, and he bit the words that were difficult to say.

"Ha...ah--"

Finally, his body arched, and his heartache and sorrow were heard, which contained not only the father's departure, but the father's love for him in the past, bit by bit, from reality to untouchable memories. He held the jar containing Gongsun Zan's ashes, and his tears and snot were stained on it.

"Father...father..." The heart-wrenching cry resounded through the gloomy sky at this moment.

A figure came over, and Gongsun Zhi reached out and patted the sad and painful figure on the shoulder, and his eyes were cast: "... Nothing in the past is important, stay. If my brother eats it in one bite, you won't be hungry."

"Thank you..." Gongsun Xu held the jar and wiped away the tears: "... Thank you brother."

Gongsun Zhi nodded and turned around and said, "Let's go home with me." He looked down at his younger brother, laughed, and rode his horse forward with a whip.

Soon, news of Gongsun Zhi entering the city spread throughout the city.

***************************

Gongsun Mansion.

When the small figure heard the news, he hurriedly ran back, quickly passed through the long-eaves corridor, shouted and ran into the backyard, and knocked down a maid halfway through, ignoring the other party, and shouted while running: "Madam! Madam! Come back... Come back..."

Cai Yan, who had been taking a nap, was walking in the garden and talking to Jian Shuo about some things in the mansion. When he heard the message from the maid who was coming over in panic, Jian Shuo frowned and snorted, "Why are you shouting in front of your wife? What kind of style is it? The family is that you are a little girl and lack discipline."

Xianglian shrank in fear and always walked sideways in the mansion with her wife's favor, but she was still afraid of the eunuch who came out of the palace in front of her, especially when she heard the other party's hoarse and sharp voice, she felt her hair standing up all over her body.

"Manager Jian, don't scare her. The child is so innocent and innocent." Cai Yan smiled and explained to the little maid, then asked: "Xianglian, who did you think is back?"

Over there, the little figure glanced at Jian Shuo timidly and whispered: "Of course, the biggest one in the family is back."

"Who is the biggest and largest in the mansion?!"

A voice came from behind, Jian Shuo immediately bowed, and the little maid raised her voice and turned around: "Of course it's my master, is it you..." Tongzhi's voice stuck in her throat, her face collapsed, and she hurriedly bent down and didn't dare to speak anymore. On the side, Cai Yan pursed her lips and smiled, and quickly walked towards the figure coming. In her vision, the distance was getting closer. Gongsun Zhi, who was dressed in military uniform, threw Bai Ju to Li Ke, and said to Dian Wei and Li Ke, both of them: "You will find Manager Jian to take the warm bed with a maid in the mansion. If you like him, you don't have to send it back."

"There is also this good thing..." Dian Wei hurriedly pulled the eunuch over there and urged the stupid boy who was still standing there: "Let's go, let's pick people."

"If you don't go, what's the point of women? They still take up half of the bed. I went to the military camp outside the city to find Hua Xiong. He told me to teach me the wrestling in the northwest..." Li Ke carried the mace and walked out.

Dian Wei didn't care about him and pushed Jian Shuo away: "Come on, are there anyone in the mansion who can sing music..."

"Yes, I bought a batch of all-round and erotic... for playing and dancing... But the lady said that she could not be treated as a casual trash." Jian Shuo looked at his wife with some embarrassment, and explained to the rough man with a bit of bullet.

"...Is there any kind of big butt and thick waist... it's just that it's very exciting on the bed..."

"Then you are looking for the lady's female soldier... they are all the kind you said..."

"...No, they are too wild..."

The voice of his speech went away. Cai Yan looked at the two figures left, and she had a smile in her eyes. She held her husband in her arms and consciously: "You are not a man who fools his subordinates like this. It's not good to spread it."

The two of them helped each other and walked in the garden. Gongsun Zhi looked at her bulging belly and smiled unconsciously: "This is not a fool to Dian Wei. The husband can come back alive, thanks to the mountain road he carried on for more than ten days."

"Is it seriously injured?"

Gongsun Zhi nodded, remembering the drowsiness that had been in the past ten days, he was still scared: "...it's basically impossible to get off the ground, let alone ride a horse. It's like he's exhausted and his eyelids can't lift up. I guess even a young child can be killed."

Cai Yan was so scared that she clenched her husband's hand, bit her lips, and was stunned for a long time. A fear that made her tremble crawled all over her back, causing her stomach to hurt, her face turned pale, and her forehead was covered with fine sweat beads, and her breathing became rapid. She didn't feel much about others' injuries, but it was another feeling that happened to her husband, and even more heart-wrenching pain, pinching her husband's arm tighter.

"Husband...you are the commander... why should you take the stone arrows to fight?" The woman's voice was a little choked.

"It's not okay if you don't go. You're a defeated soldier. If the commander cannot arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers, the entire army will be wiped out..." Feeling his wife's concern, he patted her back, "But everything is still coming, go back to the room to apply medicine to her husband... By the way, take off all of them and let me see how old the child has grown."

Cai Yan hit him with tears in his eyes: "Improper." Then he burst into tears and laughed.

The sky was slanting, and the lanterns were hung on the eaves earlier than usual. The backbone returned to the mansion. There were more laughter at home. The little maid Xianglian commanded the servants to hang lanterns everywhere, and scolded a maid to prepare pastries and fruits. Two figures holding wooden plates nodded timidly, and walked through the corridor. From a distance, he watched the men and women walking under the eaves, and was about to pass. The companion next to him reached out and pulled her, shook his head. A big man on the side of the Yu Guangzhong led a team of soldiers to patrol by with two halberds.

The two had to bow their heads and leave.

The secret words of low communication were passed on to some people. Soon after the night fell, Xinhuang's lights enveloped the backyard. After Gongsun Zhi had dinner, he returned to Nuanhuang's room with Cai Yan. Xianglian fed water and came in, served the two of them to soak their feet, and then stepped out and waited outside the door.

At this time, the couple was often separated, but there was still a relative tacit understanding. In such a general environment, many things need to be tolerant and considerate, especially the smart woman, who felt sorry for her husband. It was late at night, and the two of them leaned against each other, without much words, only a rare time for them to spend together.

In the side courtyard, the evil man took his job and found the servant here. He swept across the many maids, rubbing his palms with great enthusiasm. Although he was not lustful, there was still some depression caused by the three-month marching and fighting. In the dark, he pointed to a person who looked quite eye-catching and had a stronger figure than other women. He hugged him and left and went to his side room.

The night became deeper, the wind blew across the corridor, and the whimpering sounded, and a woman's moan came from a room, and the man's rough breathing became intermittently and dispersed in the wind.

After the winter, it was dark late, and it was quiet outside the house, but there was a little footsteps. Someone told me to the door: "Master, the county magistrate and Mr. Li are waiting for you in the study in the side hall."

The curtain in the room shook lightly, Gongsun Zhi sat up gently, looked at the woman who was still sleeping beside him, covered her quilt, and got down to the bed lightly. Xianglian on the side heard the noise, and came over to help put on her clothes while yawning. In the dressing room, he reminded the little maid: "When breakfast, tell the kitchen to have more ideas about food."

"Well, please don't worry, the master, the maids taste the food first."

After tying up his belt, Gongsun Zhi opened the door, stepped out, and smiled: "Manager Jian has also used the palace style here, which is great!"

As he said that, he left with several waiting guards outside the door. He turned to the corridor and came to the study. Li Ru and Dongfang Sheng had been waiting for a long time. He was roasting the fire on the small stove. When he saw the figure who was stroking in, he stood up and bowed, waved his hand to let them sit down, and then sat down.

"I don't have that much energy to take care of political affairs. It's enough to see the result at that time. But before the exchanges, I'll say something more important!" Gongsun Zhi waved to someone to take the sheepskin map and hang it up, pointing his fingers on the two places above: "At the beginning of the spring of the next year, Yuan Shao will definitely take Youzhou. This is the meat in his bowl and cannot be changed. But I want to build a Juyong Pass in Jundu Mountain, not only this place, but also Juzhu Mountain in Yanmen County, Bingzhou, also needs a pass, which is called Yanmen Pass!"

He pressed his two big hands hard on it, and his current power: "... Since we can't eat two pieces of fat, we will bite a small piece each and let Yuan Shao lead the two incomplete states, and feel sorry for him--"

Li Ru and Dongfang Sheng did not expect the leader to be so big when he came back, and looked at each other...

...

The sky was bright, and it was rare to see the winter sunshine, and the temperature rose slightly. When Cai Yan woke up, it happened to be when the sun was rising. Seeing that there was no one around him, he asked the little maid and found out that it was before dawn that he had discussed things with two scholars Dongfang Sheng. He had to sigh and wash up, and then go to have breakfast with the women guards.

When she passed by the study, the conversation inside continued. She smiled and did not bother and left quietly.

"...It really takes time, manpower and financial resources to build a pass, but we don't have to do it. Didn't Wenyou want to unite those merchants? No problem... As long as they form a group, it is also a great force..."

Li Ru twisted his beard and looked happy in his eyes: "What is the lord's meaning? Is it to let those businessmen do it? This is a way to save trouble."

While he was talking, the door suddenly opened, and the figure of the giant man was blocking the door. He looked around for a moment, as if he was looking for something, then turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Ke who was waiting on the side: "The leader talked about things, ran in panic and did what... Hey, why have you been so late today?"

"I don't know that the lord is talking about important things in the study..." Dian Wei stumbled his head, his eyes were still confused: "...My pair of iron halberds are gone...I searched all over the mansion, so I came late."

Li Ke raised the mace in his hand: "You can lose all the guys you eat, I messed up myself last night..."

At the top, Gongsun Zhi was about to continue talking to Li Ru, his fingers were raised in the air and his eyes froze back to the embarrassing man, and his eyes narrowed.

The corners of his mouth opened, and the voice lowered the temperature: "...Come Jian Shuo." Then he looked at Li Ru beside him: "It seems that there are 'distinguished guests' in the mansion!"

The latter stood up and bowed, and the soul would leave.

………

In the backyard, the woman who had breakfast was walking towards the garden. While waiting for her husband to finish talking, she walked around to digest food. Several maids came towards her with wooden plates, and looked at Cai Yan with her belly intentionally or unintentionally. Under the wooden plate, her fingers moved slightly and rubbed them from her wide sleeves.

...

Two feet.

The cold light flashed faintly and revealed its edge.

...

The woman who was supported was smiling and chatting with several female soldiers beside her. After a while, she frowned slightly, then moaned, covered her stomach and leaned against the female guard's arms.

The guard with childbirth experience in the middle boldly touched Cai Yan's bulging abdomen, his face was nervous, and he shouted anxiously: "Madam is about to give birth... Go and notify the prefect, sisters, please escort the wife back to the room and call Wen Po--"

Countless pairs of feet ran, and the guards in the mansion who heard the noise were also approaching and strengthening their vigilance. The maids who came towards them retreated aside in panic and did not dare to move.

The news that Gongsun Zhi's wife was about to die was heard in an instant. Hua Xiong, Gao Sheng and other groups of old men were wearing military uniforms and brought their troops into the city to warn them around the mansion. The entire city seemed to be facing a great enemy...
