Those who come can still be chased [rebirth]

The years are coming to an end, the year is coming to an end, and it is New Year's Eve again.

There are not many people in Taiwei's mansion. On New Year's Eve, all servants with families received rewards and went home for reunion. In the huge mansion, except for those who are still working, there are only three members of the Taiwei's family to have a reunion together. meal.

Every year on this day, Mrs. Liang would cook in person and help the kitchen prepare the family dinner together. The father and son also temporarily put aside their affairs and sat down in the mansion.

Liang Zhongduan sat in front of the desk, staring intently at the book in his hand.He joined the army in his early years and has a rigorous style of work. Even though he is in his study at this moment, with only Liang Ji in front of him, he still keeps his back straight and does not show any slack.

In this regard, Liang Ji is very similar to him.

The cold wind was howling outside, seeping into the room through the gaps in the doors and windows.Liang Ji glanced back, got up and stirred up the fire in the charcoal basin, and moved it to Liang Zhong's side.

Sensing his movements, Liang Zhong glanced distractedly from the book.

In the early years, Liang Zhong left many old wounds in his battles for Xu State's Jiangshan Sheji, and it was not easy in this weather.However, according to his personality, he would never mention such things in front of his son, but he did not expect Liang Ji to notice it himself.

Liang Ji refilled Liang Zhong with hot tea before sitting back, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it casually.

Liang Zhong put down the book in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, then turned his gaze to Liang Ji: "Is there any gain from Su Wei's investigation of the origins of the assassins in Wei?"

Liang Ji put down the teacup, made himself sit more upright, and then replied: "Those assassins are the dark threads that Wei had buried in Longcheng before. We wondered if their whereabouts would be exposed in a while. We found their residence in Longcheng and found a fake guide. We have already entrusted this matter to Jing Zhaoyin to help them finalize the case. Su Wei will be more rigorous in the future, so as to To prevent further mistakes, let irrelevant people sneak into Longcheng."

"Irrelevant people..." Liang Zhonglue pondered, and suddenly said, "I heard that the drug boy that the crown prince took away from Prince Ji's mansion a few days ago is the younger brother of Wei's current Southwest King Qi Ke?"

Liang Ji was silent, then nodded: "It is said that it is true."

"This Qi Ke is an interesting person." Liang Zhong raised his eyes to look at his son, "The Qi family has been a general for generations, and capable people come forth in large numbers. His elder brother Qi Dong is more literary and military, and he is utterly loyal, but Wei Emperor is fatuous and cruel. At that time, Qi Ke was leading his troops to deal with the rebellion in Yizhou. After getting the news, he immediately raised his troops against Wei. Unfortunately, other rebels seized the opportunity and took the lead in capturing the capital of Wei, killing the real Emperor Xing."

Although Liang Ji didn't care much about the affairs of Wei State in his previous life, he also heard about these things because of Rong Yan's relationship. He knew that there must be a reason for Liang Zhong to mention these things at this moment, so he sat up straight and listened to him without saying a word. Go on.

Liang Zhong took a sip of tea and continued: "At that time, all forces in the Wei State gathered in the capital, robbed land, gold and silver, and fought happily. But Qi Ke returned to Yizhou with his men and paid for the reconstruction of Yizhou. The streets and alleys that were damaged by the war summoned the people to reclaim the fields and rewarded the plowing mulberry. After Rong Xuan gradually quelled the rebellion, Qi Ke took the initiative to write a letter to respect him as the emperor, and Rong Xuan didn't want to be an enemy to him, so he followed suit and made him the king of Southwest."

Qi Ke's actions in his previous and present lives were similar. Except for raising troops to rebel, he was very low-key the rest of the time, so Liang Ji didn't know much about him. Now that Liang Zhong had finished speaking, he frowned slightly: "This Qi Ke is both far-sighted and Be patient, the city is quite deep, and it is not a kind person.”

Liang Zhong nodded: "Whether it's Rong Xuan or that little proton, neither is this opponent."

Liang Ji frowned slightly, and said after a while: "If that's the case, then we should have taken precautions against this person. If he is allowed to dominate the Wei State's affairs one day, it will become a serious disaster in the future."

Liang Zhong glanced at him, and then said: "Because of this, when King Ji persuaded His Majesty to help that little protégé, I didn't stop him. Only when the Wei State is in chaos will it be in our best interest."

The two were talking when the door opened. Mrs. Liang stood at the door and looked at the father and son with a smile: "We will talk about this as soon as we have time. It's almost time, it's time to eat."

The faint sound of firecrackers came from outside, making the atmosphere of New Year's Eve more intense.

Mrs. Liang spent the whole afternoon preparing a whole table of various dishes, and asked the servant to bring in a jar of aged wine and warm it carefully on the clay stove.

Mrs. Liang handed the jug to Liang Ji, with a gentle smile: "Today's New Year's Eve, let's have a few glasses of wine with your father."

Liang Ji poured the wine for Liang Zhong, and put the jug back to its original place: "I have to go to Suwei Mansion later, so I won't drink."

Liang Zhong paused slightly with his hand holding the wine cup, looked at Liang Ji's face, and said thoughtfully, "You didn't drink a single drop during the previous palace banquets."

"Yes," Liang Ji said calmly, "drinking is a mistake, so I haven't drunk for a long time."

"Alright." Liang Zhong drank all the wine in his glass, "It's really not a good thing to drink too much wine."

"En." Liang Ji responded, took the soup Mrs. Liang gave him, and slowly drank it.

Because it was Mrs. Liang's own cooking, the father and son paid for it, and it took less than half an hour to eat a meal.Liang Ji bowed to the two of them, and was about to go out to Suwei Mansion, but was suddenly stopped by Mrs. Liang.

She took a delicately stitched sachet from the maid: "I've been running outside all day, and I've lost weight several times. A few days ago, I embroidered a sachet in my free time, and someone put some soothing spices in it." , I just put a copper coin on it, you take it with you.”

Liang Ji took the sachet, carefully put it in his arms, nodded to Liang Zhong, and left the door with a smile on his face.

Every year when the whole family gets together, the guards become more cautious. There are twice as many people on duty as usual, and Liang Ji is never absent.

With the sound of firecrackers, every household hung up red lanterns, and there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere. Passing through the streets and alleys, you could occasionally hear laughter from some people.

Yu Ren walked beside Liang Ji with a lantern in his hand, yawning as he walked: "Other families would like their son to stay at home for a reunion, but my father would drive me out before he finished his meal. We arrange so many things every year." Manpower, how could something happen on New Year's Eve."

"Don't take it lightly." Liang Ji said lightly, "This year is especially different than previous years. Although the assassination of the assassins removed the dark line of Wei State before, there is no guarantee that Rongxuan will not be tempted again. In the future, we must be more cautious in the inspection of several city gates. Put people and horses into the city."

"This subordinate understands." After Yu Ren returned, he returned to a lazy look, looked around, and asked, "Should I go back to the Suwei Mansion after the patrol? I heard that the kitchen has specially prepared A sheep, when I go back at this time, I can just eat a delicious roast leg of lamb."

Liang Ji looked at him, and couldn't help but curl his lips: "It seems that you were kicked out by Vice General Yu before you were full."

"That's not it!" Yu Ren said, "But isn't it like this every year? After eating at home, I will have a meal with my brothers and drink a little wine to watch the year. This is the Chinese New Year!"

There was a loud sound of firecrackers in front of them. They went around the corner of the street and saw two half-grown children running out of someone's house. They had just lit a string of firecrackers hanging on a tree. They hid behind the tree and couldn't help but watch. Cheers.

Yu Ren waited for the sound of firecrackers to stop before approaching, and reprimanded the two children: "Whose children sneak out to play in the dark, and the Nian monster will come later and take you all away." .”

The two children were very courageous. When they saw the two guards approaching, instead of running away, they even made faces at Yu Ren. He took out the money bag from his arms, took two small pieces of silver and handed it over, his tone became extraordinarily gentle: "Take the money and go home, the adults at home should worry if they can't find it later."

Although the two little guys were naughty, they were polite, thanked Liang Ji, turned and ran away.Liang Ji watched them run into a house not far away, so he was relieved, and turned to Yu Ren and said, "Let's go."

Yu Ren followed Liang Ji's footsteps with a lantern in his hand: "General, are you in a good mood today?"

Liang Ji looked at him: "How to say?"

"Then why are you so patient with those two little guys and gave them money." Yu Renqi said, "If it was in the past, you probably wouldn't approach them, and would just let me drive them home."

Liang Ji really would not waste his mind on such trivial matters before, all his patience and gentleness will only be revealed when facing Rong Yan.But Rong Yan is an extremely kind person. Whether it is a child running around in the street or a pheasant and a hare in the mountains, whenever he meets him, his face will be full of joy, patient and gentle.

Maybe Liang Ji was influenced by him under his influence.

"General?" Yu Ren stretched out his finger, "You can go back after patrolling the street in front of you."

Liang Ji glanced in the direction of his finger, his eyes flickered slightly, and then said: "I won't go back to Suwei Mansion with you today."

"Huh?" Yu Ren asked naturally, "Then are you going home?"

Liang Ji looked at the deep night in front of him and nodded: "Since it's New Year's Eve, we should be reunited."
