Wind and Rain Empire

One day after a week, Lan Xueyi received a report from Xiao Si, and learned that Chen Linlin was waiting for her outside the barracks

"General Lan, your wife told you to go to Guilai Hotel"

Xiaosi said with a smile

Lan Xueyi punched him on the head

"It's talking nonsense again"

"But don't you take pleasure every time you say that?"

"Happy fart, happy... that's the normal state of this general (change the subject) Why didn't she come in and say something to me when she came to the camp? And asked me out"

Little Si Chong Lan Xueyi showed a bewildered smile

"That is to say things that cannot be said in the camp."

Lan Xueyi sighed

"Little Si, you know it very well."

She put her arm on Xiaosi's shoulder

"Do you often ask people to talk to the inn?"

little four surprised

"General, how dare I! I treat my wife..."

"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you, and you should stop gossiping, don't tell anyone about this!"

Lan Xueyi patted Xiaosi, then left the barracks

Lan Xueyi knocked on the door of Guilai Hotel's guest room, but saw that the door was not locked, so he walked in with his head

"Linlin? Are you there?"

As soon as she entered the door, Chen Linlin suddenly attacked Lan Xueyi from behind the door, and hugged Lan Xueyi tightly.

"Sister Xueyi, I miss you"

Lan Xueyi was so stuffed with these words that she didn't know what to answer, she thought for a long time

"Uh... You asked me to come here just to meet me?"

"Um"

"Why? Can't I see you in Daying?"

"There are so many people there, I can't be alone with you, and it's the same at my house"

Lan Xueyi turned around and supported Chen Linlin's shoulder

"Linlin, is there something you want to keep telling me?"

"Yes, and not just talking about it"

Lan Xueyi raised her eyebrows and smiled at Chen Linlin

"Then tell me first"

Chen Linlin looked at Lan Xueyi with tentative eyes

"I've never been sure about your feelings for me, after all we've gone through so much... so I hope you can prove it with your actions"

Lan Xueyi picked up Chen Linlin and walked towards the couch

"You don't have to doubt it, I'll prove it to you"

After gently placing Chen Linlin on the couch, Lan Xueyi supported Chen Linlin's face and kissed it softly. The four lips were glued together, rising and falling like bees tasting the most delicious nectar, begging gracefully.

Lan Xueyi brushed Chen Linlin's silk coat with her hand, and slowly untied her belt and rope, leaving only a long gauze nightdress in front of Lan Xueyi's eyes

Chen Linlin stopped looking at Lan Xueyi, and smiled cleverly

"What's wrong……"

"I... nothing!"

"You are still stubborn"

Chen Linlin whispered five words into Lan Xueyi's ear

"Let me teach you..."

Before Lan Xueyi could react, Chen Linlin slowly pushed her down on the couch, her clear eyes were full of longing, the kiss between the two became more and more passionate, and soon after, she took off her clothes, Then, all actions became natural

Lan Xueyi woke up in a burst of heat, and found herself lying on the couch in her pajamas, and Chen Linlin had long since disappeared. When she got up, she found a letter on the couch, which said "Sister Xueyi, dear sister", and she hurriedly opened it. open to see

"Sister Xueyi, even though I am so reluctant to give up, I still have to leave. That letter from Hong Wan was a great blow to me. I thought I could stand proudly on the bones of all the victims. Going forward is only for the purpose I want to achieve, but now I find that it is a luxury. I can't do other people because my family is ruined and I can still enjoy the joy of life. My conscience condemns my past behavior over and over again. I am at a loss and don’t know what to do. Therefore, I need to calm down, stay away from the places and people I am familiar with, and concentrate on praying and saving the dead. I will cherish the memories before I parted today. If the fate is not over, I believe that after three years We can meet again, and then we will continue our relationship. Linlin"

With all kinds of feelings in Lan Xueyi's heart, she pinched the letter in her hand and kneaded it into a ball

Three years later, Zhang Haisheng's family in Tanzhou

It was Chinese New Year, and the servants were decorating with lanterns and festoons. Zhang Haisheng hugged a two-year-old boy and kissed him.

"He's really my grandson"

Princess Yongping pointed to Zhang Haisheng and said to Zhang Tiancheng

"Sanggong, you see your father is kissing our Bao'er again."

Zhang Tiancheng pulled the two apart

"Father, don't kiss him all the time, he's drooling again"

Zhang Haisheng was dissatisfied and replied

"What does saliva have to do with it? Just wash it off? What about your brother Tianyu? Didn't you say he arrived in the past few days?"

Zhang Tiancheng wiped the drool on his son's face with a towel

"You ask me, who am I asking? I guess it's almost here."

Zhang Tianyu yelled into the room

"Dad, I'm back!"

Zhang Tianyu led two three-year-old children into the house, a boy and a girl, and Li Siqin followed behind

Zhang Haisheng bowed his hands

"Meet Princess Siqin"

Li Siqin hurried to help

"Father, why are you being so polite?"

Zhang Haisheng sighed

"This old man is really lucky. Both sons married the princess and became their daughter-in-laws. God has eyes, God has eyes!"

Zhang Tiancheng looked at Zhang Tianyu's two children

"Brother, are these two babies in your family twins?"

Zhang Tianyu nodded

"Yes"

Zhang Tiancheng bowed his head to Princess Yongping and spoke

"Yongping, let's work hard and give birth to twins."

Princess Yongping shyly turned her head to one side

"You're not ashamed! Say that in front of your family"

"It's because the family members are not ashamed, why don't you tell outsiders?"

At the same time, in the Mianxian county government office, Xie Guanxiong, Jixiang, and Xiaosi sat at the table, looking at the dishes on the plate, rubbing their hands

Xiao Si looked at the dish in surprise

"Wow, so many delicious food!"

Chen Dong also sighed

"I'm lucky today. I have the special dishes from Mrs. General Xie and my sister-in-law."

Xie Guanxiong was surprised

"Really? Can you taste Wang Ma's food? General Lan often mentions it!"

Wang Yuhe serves the dishes

"Come here, who called me?"

Xie Guanxiong pointed at himself

"Wang Ma, I was just mentioning you"

Wang Yuhe wipes her hands with her apron

"Xiaosi, Jixiang, tell your wives and children not to help in the kitchen, it will be a waste of help"

Xiaosi should write

"Hey, I'll call now"

The little girl Zhao Yingxue said to Chen Dong in a childish voice

"Grandpa, I'm hungry"

When Jixiang heard it, he hurriedly picked up vegetables

"Oh, our little princess is hungry, come here, uncle will bring you food."

A big chicken leg was caught in Zhao Yingxue's bowl

Chen Dong patted Zhao Yingxue's head, and also served her food

"Come here, Yingxue eat more"

Zhao Yingxue looked at Ji Xiang and Chen Dong with a smile

"Thank you Uncle Jixiang, thank you Grandpa"

After that, he quietly started eating

Xie Guanxiong asked Jixiang

"Why isn't General Lan coming back?"

Jixiang tilted his head, indicating that he was not very clear

"She said that she still needs to explain something in the camp. It's not that you don't know her. There are too many things to consider."

Xie Guanxiong nodded sympathetically

"That is"

Mrs. Chen Wang sat at the table with an unhappy expression on her face

"I want to cook!"

Chen Dong grabbed her arm to prevent her from leaving

"Forget it, you, where is the chef, don't join in the fun!"

Xie Guanxiong echoed

"That's right, Mrs. Chen, you've been busy for so many years, let them be busy with this year's New Year's dinner."

Chen Dong hit Chen Wang

"That's right, I'm not happy to have something you can eat with your mouth open"

Chen Wang pushed Chen Dong

The Xingyuan Mansion Barracks near the night

Lan Xueyi explained something to a soldier, and then rode away on his horse

In a temple late at night

A nun is sitting cross-legged on the futon with her eyes closed, mumbling sutras and knocking wooden fish

The little nun outside said

"Master Quanqing, someone wants to see you"

The nun named Quanqing opened her eyes, stood up slowly, and meditated

"It's that time of year again... (to the little nun) let her in"

Lan Xueyi pushed the door in with a food box

Quanqing turned around and looked at Lan Xueyi calmly.

"You are really on time"

Lan Xueyi chuckled

"Of course, when I found you, I agreed that I would come to accompany you to eat vegetarian dishes every Spring Festival."

Quan Qing's eyes are full of peace

"This is the third year, what's the news this year, tell me."

Lan Xueyi poured a cup of tea

"I saw Zhang Tiancheng and Zhang Tianyu this year, and the children are all grown up."

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

Lan Xueyi looked up at Quanqing

"The boy in Zhang Tiancheng's family is two years old, and the boy in Zhang Tianyu's family is twins, both are three years old"

"I didn't expect that our Yingxue was bigger than their children."

Lan Xueyi added

"They also told me something, let me describe it to you."

-------------------------

Lan Xueyi recalled:

On the streets of Beijing

Zhang Tiancheng and Zhang Tianyu's family were wandering the street with their children when they met Lan Xueyi who was leading a horse.

Zhang Tiancheng greeted him, walking towards Lan Xueyi excitedly

"Ah! Xueyi, long time no see!"

Lan Xueyi smiled at the four of them and nodded

"I haven't seen you for three years, and your children are all this old?"

Zhang Tianyu replied

"Yes, General Lan, we moved back to the Song Dynasty from Xia Guo this time. The reason is that Siqin thinks it is warmer than Xia Guo here."

Li Siqin looked at Lan Xueyi

"Yes, Sister Xueyi, summer is cool in Xiaguo, and it's freezing cold in winter. Once I've been to the south, I don't want to stay in that cold place (Turn around, ask) Sister Xueyi, are you still serving in the military camp now? "

Lan Xueyi nodded

"Yeah, I've been working all the time."

Zhang Tianyu's envious eyes

"I heard that you have now been promoted to Xuan Fu envoy, and the official title is Xuan Fu envoy?"

Zhang Tiancheng was shocked

"Wow, that's the highest office I've ever heard of held by a woman"

Lan Xueyi waved his hand

"It's nothing to be proud of. There was an empress in the previous dynasty. And from now on, more and more women will be able to be officials, and it is probably very common to be able to go out and enter the palace."

Princess Yongping interjected

"Sister Xueyi, what about the major events in your life? Getting married is a career, so what about the family, do you still consider the children's affairs?"

Lan Xueyi laughed

"Consider, must consider, to tell you the truth, I already have a child with me"

Everyone was surprised and shouted in unison

"what?"

Lan Xueyi signaled them to keep quiet

"Although I didn't give birth to this child, I almost brought it up with one hand, and I can experience some feelings of being a mother (turning point). Rather than being a mother, it is more like being a father and a mother at the same time."

Zhang Tiancheng hurriedly asked

"Where is that child now? What's his name and how old is he?"

"In Mian County, my name is Zhao Yingxue, and she's over three years old."

Li Siqin looked at Zhang Tianyu

"It's actually bigger than our children!"

Princess Yongping asked

"Is it Sister Linglong's child? Why doesn't Sister Linglong take care of her own child?"

Lan Xueyi nodded deeply

"Yes, Linglong has converted to Buddhism"

Zhang Tianyu shook his head

"I have convinced you two sisters, but you have a good life, so what are you tossing about?"

Lan Xueyi kept silent, just smiled

------------------------------------

Quan Qing smiled lightly

"I knew that someone would comment on the two of us like that, let's just have a good life"

Lan Xueyi looked at Quanqing

"Because they haven't experienced what we have experienced, so it doesn't matter what they think. Of course, most people like them can live a good life (turning point) Oh, by the way, there is a plague in the capital. Few people"

"What symptoms?"

"I didn't see any living people there. It is said that they were all refugees from the Huaibei area. Famine and heatstroke were combined. The dead were all over the street, and then the infection spread for no reason."

Quan Qing looked at Lan Xueyi

"Have you ever thought of someone?"

"I know who you're going to talk about, Wanyan Luqi, and I've thought about it too. It's probably because he didn't die at all, and his plague may have worked."

Quan Qing felt a little relieved

"It would be great if we could ensure that he died at that time, maybe the people in the capital could escape unharmed."

"But with our ability at the time, it was not enough to find him and kill him. Besides, killing him may not be useful. After all, so many people were infected at the time, and we didn't know whether they escaped or not."

"At least we know that using the plague to wipe out the enemy's vital forces is definitely an effective means of attack."

Quan Qing sighed

Lan Xueyi shook his head

"It also proves that people who use this method have no moral bottom line at all."

"Inevitable (turning point), since the capital is plagued by epidemics, is everything okay in the palace?"

Lan Xueyi thought for a while and replied

"There is nothing wrong in the palace, but Prince Chenfeng, the son of Cao Jieyu, died of illness, but it seems that he has nothing to do with the plague outside the palace."

Quanqing showed a surprised expression

"What? Prince Chenfeng is dead?"

"Yeah, at such a young age, he is the same as his bunch of imperial brothers, and has never lived to adulthood."

"At present, Xueyi, you and Princess Yongping are still alive and healthy."

Lan Xueyi added

"And your child"

Quanqing let out a shallow sigh

"Think that child is more than three years old this year. I'm relieved to have you take care of her... The officials probably never know that they have such a child."

Lan Xueyi remembers something

"Speaking of father, I have seen him before."

--------------

Memories of Lan Xueyi:

In the imperial study room, Lan Xueyi knelt on one knee and bowed to the emperor

"My son has met my father, long live my father"

The emperor lifted Lan Xueyi

"Xueyi, it's rare for you to come back to see me, so you don't need to be too polite... Are you okay?"

Lan Xueyi looked up at the emperor's gray hair

"Father, I haven't seen you these days, I'm really haggard."

the emperor sighed

"Hey, it's all worrying, worrying about national affairs and family affairs, there is nothing to make me feel at ease."

Lan Xueyi nodded

"My son has already heard that our Northern Expedition led by Han Jifu failed. Fortunately, the Xingyuan Mansion we garrisoned has not been lost. Otherwise, it would be unthinkable if the Jin people entered the pass."

The emperor looked at Lan Xueyi with deep eyes

"So Xueyi, why did I let you guard this town, you also know that it's not a good thing for a general to overwhelm the master, and I can't believe others, so Wu Xi has rebelled and was sealed by the golden man Fortunately, the King of Shu died not long ago. So Xue Yi, you can just tell me what you want. I know your hardships these years, and I have also said that I owe you too much. I understand and tell you It is said that the grievances and grievances between me and Lan Xiang are the private affairs of our generation, but when he expanded this private matter into a struggle between countries, which is related to the lives and deaths of millions of people, I have considered my decision Yes, so I see your filial piety, but you need to let it go"

Lan Xueyi lowered his head and replied

"I understand, I have figured this out, and I also understand that this road is my own choice. Now I will not blame you, Father, or Wang Ma. My enemy is only one from the beginning to the end, and that is to cause us The country has become what it is now, and our family has become the golden man we are now."

the emperor shook his head

"Unfortunately, the collegial agreement was signed, Sui Na was handed over, and Han Aiqing's head was also handed over."

"Father, please don't worry, Xueyi guarantees that in his lifetime, he will definitely see our army's soldiers fight until the golden man perishes, and he will be ashamed of my Great Song Dynasty."

The emperor patted Lan Xueyi on the shoulder

"Xue Yi, I wish I could see that day too, but I am not sure. Every night I dream that my ancestors are talking to me. Besides the ancestors, there is Linglong, saying that she is praying for me."

Lan Xueyi smiled lightly.

"Father, Linglong has already converted to Buddhism. She is indeed studying Buddhist scriptures every day, and at the same time praying for everyone she knows (turning point). That's why, Father, I want to ask you for someone."

"Don't talk about one person, a hundred people are fine, just open your mouth"

"Yan Hongwan, Yan Meiren"

The emperor thought about it

"Speaking of her, I haven't seen her for a long time. If you want her, take her away (looking at Lan Xueyi) Xueyi, if you have nothing to do at the border, come back more often. I will miss you often He Yongping, come back more often to accompany me, Yongping is already married, and you are my only child."

"I will, Father"

------------

Quan Qing asked Lan Xueyi

"Did Hong Wan come out with you?"

"Come out, because I am very interested in seeing her, so I arranged for her to be an apprentice in a family that makes fireworks and firecrackers. She often talks about you and asks me when I will bring her to see you. I said after the New Year."

Quanqing is slightly puzzled

"Interesting, how did you know the person who makes fireworks?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you in detail when I have time later. The three-year agreement has come. What about the two of us?"

"In the past three years, I have devoted myself to practicing Buddhism and enlightened a lot. Thinking about what I did when I was young, I am a little sighing."

Lan Xueyi walks to the window

"Yeah, I still remember your shocked expression when the letter said Concubine Shu and Concubine De had died and the other had gone crazy, and Minister Qian was demoted."

Quan Qing's eyes are like a mirror lake, calm

"The past is unbearable, the only thing I can do now is to mourn the dead and bless the living"

Lan Xueyi patted Quanqing

"It's a big Chinese New Year, don't be so sad, give yourself a holiday that has been heavy for so long"

Quan Qing sighed

"Yeah, three thousand prosperous worlds, but a grain of dust, I'm just an invisible mote in the dust, and I'm still so heavy"

Lan Xueyi laughed

"Yes, eat quickly, or the food will be cold"

Lan Xueyi opened the food box, brought out all the vegetarian dishes, poured two cups of tea, and handed a cup to Quan Qing

Lan Xueyi raised his glass to Quanqing

"Good luck"

Quan Qing raised his glass too

"Good health"

After looking at each other, the two smiled, opened the window, and after a gust of cold wind, they saw gorgeous fireworks

"That's what I said, but three years have passed, Xue Yi, haven't you found someone you like?"

"Found a lot"

There was a ripple in Quan Qing's calm eyes

"Really?"

"You don't know how hard I've been through these three years"

"Why is it suffering?"

"Because there are too many temptations, and I have been waiting for someone"

The corners of Quanqing's mouth are slightly upturned

"Who? Do I know him?"

Lan Xueyi said in Quanqing's ear

"Her name is... Chen Linlin"

Lan Xueyi tapped her finger on the tip of her mouth to signal Quanqing not to speak out

Quan Qing did the same and nodded.

Two people clink cups and drink tea

----------

The end of the vertical and horizontal empire chapter

The author has something to say:

At this point, the world-defying double jade? The chapter on the vertical and horizontal empire is over

I don't plan to continue writing the story right now, I might play around with it in the middle three years, but the story after that is... well...

The ending is up to everyone's imagination

Thank you readers for accompanying the author along the way, otherwise I really have no motivation

As a writer, I am also learning while writing

I not only want to describe the emotions between people more delicately, but also want to integrate the depressive emotions of the whole society at that time.

In fact, the historical background at that time was very suitable for making a TV series, but unfortunately, just like the description in the article, it was very divided, and the meaning did not conform to the current national conditions...

So this period of national hatred and family hatred, the history of the empire (pseudo) swaying in the wind and rain, has come to an end

See you in the next work, thank you everyone!
