The diligent boat is begging for a wave of subscriptions...begging to start...

~~~~~~

The sun sets gradually in the west.

On the horizon, the sunset reflects the colors, and the sky and the sea line up.

The wind that had been restless all day also slowly stopped, and a layer of light dusk slowly but quickly spread over the entire world, gradually becoming thicker and thicker. After a short time, it enveloped the entire world, as if ~~, the entire world.

I was suddenly enveloped in a fairyland, feeling a bit confused and shrouded in mist.

Occasionally, a few tired seagulls fly eagerly from the sky to the seaside, as if they are eager to return home.

Not far away, in Gejia Village, smoke was rising and people were shouting. The entire Gejia Village came to Ge Li's house to help Li Yuanqing and his party prepare a sumptuous dinner.

At this time, Li Yuanqing took Nian'er and Megane, accompanied by more than a dozen soldiers, to the small woods not far from the east side of the village, and quietly experienced the magical scenery of nature.

The soldiers were dozens of steps away, building several bonfires to keep themselves warm.

Li Yuanqing also lit two bonfires. The strong flames were burning brightly in the light mist, dispelling a lot of the severe cold.

Not far from your feet, there is a thin stream.

Unfortunately, the water in the small stream has dried up long ago, and a thick layer of ice has formed close to the river bed.

However, there is a volcanic body under Changsheng Island, not far from Li Yuanqing and the others. There are several small hidden hot springs with warm steam rising from them.

But even if there is no weather, a lot of ice has been dispersed, and there is still a little living water left in a few places.

Li Yuanqing just took Nian'er and Megane to search these places for a while, hoping to find a few small fish and shrimps, but it was obvious~~ that Li Yuanqing overthought and they gained nothing.

It is difficult for humans to survive in such a weather environment, and the animal world is probably even more severe than humans.

Although Li Yuanqing has always admired the idea that "man can conquer nature," at this time, with things like this and productivity so low, even Li Yuanqing is somewhat powerless about many things.

He can only focus on prevention and solve problems as soon as possible when problems arise.

Fortunately, after years of continuous accumulation, Changsheng Island's storage resources have become very rich, and the amount of funds is also quite strong.

Li Yuanqing's two hardcore 'doglegs', the Qu family and the Fan family, provide large amounts of grain reserves to Changsheng Island every year.

But~, this is limited to Changsheng Island and Liaonan. As for other places...

At this time, although the weather was very cold, Li Yuanqing was in good spirits. Nian'er and Megane were also dressed very warmly and stood quietly by Li Yuanqing's side.

However, if the heavy fog continues like this, they may not be able to return to the city tonight.

At this time, seeing Li Yuanqing staring at the smoke from the Ge family village not far away, Nian'er whispered: "Sir, what are you thinking about?"

Li Yuanqing smiled, took out his cigar box, knocked out a cigar, took a bonfire stick and lit it, and said with a smile: "The strong wind is blowing, the clouds are flying. The brave warriors are here to return to their hometown, and the warriors are here to guard the four directions!"

Nian'er's big eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Li Yuanqing with admiration: "Master, this, is this a poem you wrote?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, "This is not a poem written by me. This is a poem written by Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty."

As he said that, Li Yuanqing smiled and hugged Nian'er's slender waist: "After so many years, although I have worked hard, but~~, I have not done enough! I have not returned to my hometown! I can't see

To the smoke from my hometown.”

At this moment, Megane saw that Li Yuanqing actually hugged Nian'er, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit disgusted in her heart. She quickly moved closer to Li Yuanqing. Her charming body, like a dexterous water snake, got into Li Yuanqing's arms and said with a smile.

: "Master, where is your hometown? Is it far away from our Changsheng Island? When can we go back and have a look?"

Megane's voice is very sweet, but it's not too artificial.

Because this was her true words, she really wanted to know what kind of soil and water it was like to be able to raise a tycoon like Li Yuanqing...

Next to her, Nian'er snorted slightly from Yao's nose. She really couldn't stand Megane's femininity and affectation.

I secretly spat in my heart: "This Yangma Humeizi."

Li Yuanqing smiled lightly, ignoring the intrigue between the two little women, and said with a smile: "My hometown is Shengjing, the capital of Houjin. If we want to go back, maybe it will take five or six years, or maybe

Ten to eight years, maybe. Well...it shouldn't be more than this number."

"Ah? It takes so long."

Megane didn't expect that it would take so long for a man like Li Yuanqing to fight back to his hometown... Then how powerful his enemy must be.

Nian'er's small hand tightly grasped Li Yuanqing's big hand, and she murmured in a low voice: "Master, no matter what time, Nian'er will always be by your side."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, feeling distressed, and held Nian'er in his arms harder, gently squeezing her small hand with his big hand to show encouragement.

After all, his little woman is caring.

Megane, a big ocean horse, is sufficiently coquettish, but unfortunately, there is always something missing. Especially, this thing is very crucial...

Seeing that the night was getting darker and the fog was getting thicker, Li Yuanqing smiled and hugged the two women's waists, "Let's go back to eat. If we don't go back tonight, we must make preparations in advance."

"Ai……"

Megane originally thought that she could take a chance to go to the woods with Li Yuanqing and have a good chat alone... But at this time, Nian'er was so entangled that she had to give up.

After calling the soldiers and extinguishing the bonfire, the group returned to Gejia Village.

Gejia Village is about twenty miles away from the city, and the roads are all cemented, making it very easy to walk.

However, the terrain here is somewhat uneven, and the soldiers all came on horseback, so it was not very safe to travel at night.

Naturally, Li Yuanqing would not be in a hurry at this moment.

However, this is Changsheng Island after all, and it is a short distance. Although the soldiers are prepared, they do not prepare many tents. They will camp in Gejia Village tonight, and they will inevitably have to stay in ordinary people's homes.

If it were an ordinary Ming army, it would be almost impossible to stay overnight in ordinary people's homes. Even if it could be done, not to mention a river of blood, I'm afraid it would at least be a disaster.

But this is the mainland of Changsheng Island, and it is Li Yuanqing's private property, including all the people on the island. In fact, it is also Li Yuanqing's private property.

In this regard, there are not so many problems.

It's just that Li Yuanqing has to pay more money.

Back at Gree's house, the banquet was basically in order.

Although Ge Li is a mid-level and senior officer in the Changsheng Battalion and a close friend of Li Yuanqing, his parents are ordinary people, so naturally they cannot have any superb cooking skills.

The dishes are all stews in large pots.

There are pigs, sheep, and a pot of stewed rabbit and roe deer.

Other embellishments include bacon, seafood, salted fish, etc. Mr. Ge also specially prepared a plate of sea cucumbers that he had treasured for a long time for Li Yuanqing.

Sea cucumbers in later generations have gone through too many processes and have lost too much of their natural flavor.

The real way to eat sea cucumber is actually very simple.

Just dry the sea cucumber in the sun, and when eating it, simply soak it, stir-fry it, or stir-fry leeks, which is the most exquisite and nutritious.

The banquet had been neatly cleaned up, and Li Yuanqing was naturally not polite. He informed Yang Lei and Mr. Ge that he would be camping here tonight, and sat down on the main seat in a dignified manner.

Mr. Ge was originally going to take care of the camping arrangements for Li Yuanqing and his party, but Mr. Ge Li pushed him aside and went to take care of it herself.

I don't expect this old man to be able to tidy up even in the middle of the night. How about she arrange it herself?

The soldiers are all Li Yuanqing's confidants, so naturally they won't be too polite.

But Mr. Ge and several villagers dared not serve it.

Finally, Li Yuanqing gave the order with a bluffing face, and then they came to the table.

It was not a formal banquet, so Li Yuanqing naturally didn't pay too much attention to it. Nian'er and Megane also came to the table, waiting on Li Yuanqing's left and right, waiting for Li Yuanqing to eat, drink and pick up food.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Everyone was a little drunk, and Mr. Ge and several villagers also relaxed.

This is actually the case for the Liao people.

Their temperaments are as fiery as fire. Otherwise, how could they melt the wind and frost of Liao Land?

Mr. Ge drank down a glass of wine with all his strength, laughed and sighed: "Commander, if it weren't for you, my old man wouldn't be where he is today! I'm afraid that back in Zhenjiang, my old man's family would have been driven to death by the Tatars.

What a pity! What a pity, the boss..."

On the side, another villager said: "Village Chief, your family is lucky. Except for the eldest son, everyone else has escaped. Poor our village. Except for me, no one has escaped.

.”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sob softly.

Several people nearby also recalled the sad events in their early years, and their eyes were filled with tears.

Ge Li couldn't stand it anymore and said hurriedly: "Father, Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, look, this wonderful banquet has turned you into a complaint meeting. Without the commander, how could we have the good life we ​​have now?"

?Besides, whatever is in the past is in the past. Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, our lives will only get better and better!"

Only then did everyone react, hurriedly wiping away their tears, smiling and nodding in agreement.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand and said: "Ge Li, what you said is wrong. Without bitterness, how can there be sweetness? Without the suffering of the past, how can we cherish the present life? A lesson from the past can serve as a guide for future generations. We can only remember the suffering of yesterday.

, so that we can avoid making this mistake tomorrow! Now~, the minds of the young people on the island are a little wandering! This momentum is undesirable."

Ge Li also reacted and nodded respectfully in agreement.

Li Yuanqing changed the topic and said with a smile: "However, what you said is not wrong. The past is the past. We should turn more attention to the future..."
