Red Heart Survey

  Chapter 678 Frost and Cold Long Street

  The night is here, and the moon and stars are all in the sky.

  The entire Cloud City is as bright as day.

  Phoenix lanterns are flying all over the sky, and the shadows of phoenix lanterns roam the wall of the lantern.

  The floats parading the street, the gimbal showing the rare treasures, the juggling, the lantern riddle guessing, the selling...

  Pedestrians are like weaving.

   Jiang Anan was sitting in the largest phoenix lantern, with the shadow of the phoenix in front of him, the sky full of stars, and the fireworks when he lowered his head.

  The previous New Year’s Eve was in Fengxi Town. The town was also very lively. There were delicious food, red lanterns, and firecrackers... Last year’s New Year’s Eve was in a barren mountain, and my brother set off fireworks for her.

  This is the first time she has experienced such a grand excitement. It is like being in a beautiful dream that is radiant and colorful. It makes her linger and forget all the worries-I can't remember the copybooks that can't be finished for a while.

  For Jiang Anan now, those copybooks are her only sorrow.

  Ye Qingyu is watching over, pointing out some interesting places to show her from time to time, and occasionally using Dao Fa, sprinkling light and rain, and celebrating New Year's Eve with the people of Yuncheng.

   Jiang An’an smiled happily, and still asked, "Where is my brother?"

   "I don't know." Ye Qingyu was also puzzled: "Did you prepare New Year gifts for you?"

   "Oh." Jiang Anan held her face expectantly: "I also want to prepare New Year gifts for my brother."

   "Then we will go down and buy it for him when we play...Look over there!"

"Wow! So beautiful!"

  ……

  ……

  Innocent children are carefree.

  The young man with a sword flew swiftly in the night, flying over the deadly Fenglin City, flying over eight hundred miles of Qingjiang, flying over Wangjiang City, and flying to Hualin County.

  Zhuang Guo on New Year’s Eve, there is not much New Year’s festive atmosphere, the whole country is shrouded in a kind of heroic emotion.

  People are full of hatred for their neighbors in the north. The battle that took place in the Yiyang Mansion of Yongguo has affected the hearts of every Zhuangguo. They anxiously awaited the result, eagerly looking forward to the end.

  Zhuang Guo dispatched a large army of 300,000 this time, except for the necessary border troops stationed in the border, almost mobilized all military forces. The striker only broke through the line of defense, and the army behind has already followed.

   Earlier, on the grounds of small-scale friction with Mo State, the army was trained round after round in Hualin County, and it is probably until today that the interested people can see the real reason.

  Zhuang Gaoxian's current national war against Yong State is definitely a long-planned plan.

   And the country of Mo, which ceded the land of ten cities in World War I, had long since been regarded as an important opponent by Zhuangguo. Had it not been for the great price paid by the Mo State court and the support of Qin State, Zhuang Gaoxian would have long broken the Mo Palace.

  So from the beginning, the frictions at the border of Zhuangmo and the trials of the new pawns were all just blindfolds, all for the preparation for the battle of Vayong.

  It is said that the troops on the front line of Zhuangmo are all trained and rotated in Hualin County. In fact, the number of troops stationed in Hualin County, how many troops are dispatched, how the lines of the various ministries are, and how many troops are in Qinghe County, only the senior officials of Zhuang State know.

  Before the start of the national war, a large number of troops were transferred to Qinghe County in the name of rotation.

   Here Zhuang Gaoxian smashed the dragon chair and smashed into the crown, and the entire Zhuang country's army over there will be a tiger down the mountain... This is definitely not an overnight preparation. This kind of preparation may have even started many years ago, when Zhuang Gaoxian was still hiding in the deep palace to recover from his injuries.

  Otherwise, it is impossible to explain this kind of cohesion, this kind of efficiency.

  ……

  Xin'an City.

  There are high candles burning in the Wenhua Pavilion, and people come in and out constantly, or eunuchs or guards, conveying all kinds of messages.

There are six rows of tables in the    pavilion, three rows on the left and right. The officials who can speak in Xin'an City are all working hard here, completing one official business after another.

  At the time of the national war, all kinds of affairs made people worry. Maintaining the operation of the 300,000 army is not a simple matter.

  The most important affairs will be summarized and handed to the middle-aged short-bearded person sitting in the top position.

  Zhuang Guo's deputy minister, sitting upright, unsmiling, occasionally moving eyes, as if to penetrate people's hearts.

  Behind him stood a young monk holding a sword.

Everyone in the    Pavilion knows that this clear-eyed young monk is Li Jianqiu, the direct disciple of Deputy Prime Minister Dong A. It is said that he had a friendship between master and apprentice in Fenglin City Taoist Academy in his early years, and he was highly regarded by Vice Prime Minister.

  Just seeing Dong A whisper his opinions when dealing with official duties, we can see how hard he is to cultivate. Many people are secretly jealous.

  You must know that Dong A, as the deputy minister, is in charge of criminal matters. It can be said that he has real power and his position is not under the head of the Criminal Investigation Department. No matter how it is calculated, in the entire power structure of Zhuang State, it can also be firmly ranked in the top ten.

  This time Zhuang Guo was fighting against his country. Emperor Zhuang ordered Dong A to stay in Xin'an City and sit in the rear, which shows his trust. It is even regarded by many as a signal to assume the next state minister. His position has surpassed that of the chief of the Department of Enforcement and Criminal Affairs. The ministers of civil and military affairs in the entire Zhuang State are probably only under the guidance of state minister Du Ruhui and general Huangfu.

  You must know that Du Ruhui paid too much for the entire country of Zhuang, worked too long, enjoyed the national fortune of the country, but was more burdened by the country. Now Zhuang Guo has risen strongly. He is such a top god, it is time to let go of the burden and focus on spiritual practice. If it can break through the hole, it will be even more lucky for Zhuang Guo.

  Du Ruhui himself has repeatedly expressed his preference for Dong A's succession as the prime minister.

   Being valued by such a powerful man, this kid named Li Jianqiu can be envied by others, you can imagine.

  "There should be nothing more. Ten guards are left. The others should go back and rest first."

  After approving the last official duties, Dong A straightened up and walked out first: "I'll take a tour of the city."

  He knew that if he didn't go first, no one would dare to go to rest first.

  A civil officer immediately got up and said, "How can the deputy minister of labor? You just need to go down to handle such trivial matters."

Dong A waved his hand to stop him: "This battle will determine the national destiny for a hundred years. You and others are the pillars of the country. At this moment in history, doing your own thing is a great contribution to the country. Some things, I can Do it yourself."

  The officials had already been familiar with the character of the deputy minister, and knew that his decision would not change, and he was upright and did not like to be polite. No one will persuade me any more. Leave ten officials on duty, and all the others will leave first. It is a rest, but in fact no one can rest. Every official has his own affair.

  Zhuang Gaoxian is desperate to fight the country this time, and even the Bai Yujun has been transferred to the front line, Xin'an City is the most empty time.

  Dong and A must do everything personally, and even the city affairs will be inspected personally, just for fear that everyone’s mind is on the battlefield of Yongguo and ignores domestic affairs.

  The concealed whereabouts of the chief executive officer of the criminal justice department is now quietly sitting on the front line of Zhuangmo to prevent Mo State from taking advantage of it. On the border line adjacent to Chengguo, there are also armed forces ready.

  Dong A walked on the wide street of Xin'an City, thinking about a lot of things in his heart.

  Li Jianqiu, who was behind him, rarely spoke, and Dong A basically asked him a question before he answered.

  The long street stretches into the distance, among a row of darkened houses. There was a red lantern hanging out in front of a house.

  In Xin'an City, which is immersed in the atmosphere of the national war, the two red lanterns that bid farewell to the old and welcome the new are a bit abrupt.

  Untimely jubilation.

  "Tonight is New Year's Eve." Dong A said.

  On the frosty long street, Li Jianqiu let out a "um".
