Wei Ziqi's gaze was extremely hot, but with infinite forbearance.Xue Yan was taken aback by the complex emotions in his eyes.I always thought that Wei Ziqi was also impaled, otherwise, how could a tall and thick man from Longyou express such lingering emotions with just his eyes?

Xue Yan thought for a while mockingly, and asked, "Brother Ziqi, why is he looking at me like this? Could it be that he hasn't seen me for a long time and misses me?"

Wei Ziqi was taken aback for a moment, blinked his eyes in a trance, took a deep look at Xue Yan, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

nothing?

Wei Ziqi's words made Xue Yan more and more inexplicable, and turned to look at Aye Niang.Princess Pingyang is a woman after all, and her thoughts are more delicate, because she said with a smile: "Your senior brother misses you, but he is just too embarrassed to say it. Every day with your father, I will definitely follow you. Even your father You don’t even want to drive him away! It can be seen that the relationship between the two of you brothers is getting better.”

Hearing this, Xue Yan looked at Wei Ziqi more and more confused.

Wei Ziqi just smiled and said nothing.Xue Ji said: "Your journey has been exhausting, not to mention that all the soldiers of the army are waiting in the camp to welcome the envoys of the emperor. Let's not delay, let's go back now."

When Xue Yan heard this, he didn't bother to ask Wei Ziqi.Immediately nodded in agreement.

Everyone returned to the frontier camp all the way.But Yan Junji, Jiang Zhi and others had already lined up to welcome the angel.

Seeing this, Xue Yan hurriedly rode his horse to the middle of the camp with a solemn face and took the stage.Received the well-preserved imperial decree from the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, and read out His Majesty's orders for rewards.

Apart from those awkward rhetoric, the content of the imperial decree is nothing more than some good intentions to promote officials and reward gold and silver.The soldiers of the whole army were rewarded one by one according to their meritorious service.Needless to say.

Among them is the will to confer Wei Ziqi as the second-rank hussar general and the champion marquis.

After the imperial decree was read out, all the officers and men bowed to thank and received the emperor's favor.Xue Yan also ordered the officers and men of the imperial forest army to bring the fine wine rewarded by Emperor Yong'an into the barracks to celebrate with the generals.During the meeting, Xue Yan still talked with the two brothers Sun Zhonghe and Sun Zhongmiao about the impact of the field rescue method on the situation of this battle-not to mention how many lives of soldiers were saved, but the key point is that after this battle, the generals have made statistics, Da Chu Compared with the number of troops consumed in previous wars, the loss was less than one-third.This means that after this battle, Da Chu did not lose his vitality.In the coming year, the soldiers will either guard their homes and protect the country, or be disarmed and return to the fields. Da Chu will have enough energy to recuperate.This is only the case of the Northern Expedition in Youzhou, if all the military camps in the world follow this method, and there will be another battle in the future, the lives of the generals of Da Chu will be guaranteed, and the national strength will also be guaranteed.

This is a very important matter. Even though Emperor Yong'an had rewarded Sun Zhonghe brothers and a group of doctors in the imperial decree, Xue Yan still wrote a memorial to Da Tianting, requesting Emperor Yong'an to set up medicine in all states and counties. Committed to learning the law of first aid in the field.

After receiving this memorial, Emperor Yong'an immediately issued a decree and ordered all the ministers to enter the palace to discuss, and then he really promulgated the decree to set up medicine in the states and counties of Dachu.And encourage imperial physicians to enlist in the army, on the one hand to fight for their own future, seal their wives and sons, and on the other hand, to serve the soldiers of the world.

He also ordered the two brothers Sun Zhonghe and Sun Zhongmiao to return to Chang'an with the army.Teach the imperial physicians of the imperial medical office to learn this method, and then go to various states and counties to teach doctors.

Sun Zhonghe and Sun Zhongmiao had nothing to do in the Youzhou camp, not to mention that the two brothers had long been blind to Yan Junji's various actions, and they did not want to stay and make troubles.Furthermore, the will of Emperor Yong'an also meant to save and cure the common people in the world, which was in line with Sun Zhonghe's wishes, so the two brothers of the Sun family readily agreed.

Sun Zhonghe even laughed with Xue Yan and said: "Although the young disciples of Shangqing Temple have long-lived alchemy, most of them are familiar with the art of Qihuang. When I return to Beijing, I will teach this method to the students of Shangqing Temple." Young disciples, when they travel around the world, they can do some good things for the people’s livelihood. It’s not in vain that Sanqing Daoist received incense from thousands of families.”

Hearing this, Xue Yan smiled and praised Gao Yi, the two brothers of the Sun family.He also brought up some old things about the misty real person of Shangqing Temple.After the celebration banquet, the army rested in the frontier fortress for three days before Xue Ji and other generals returned to Beijing with a group of prisoners from the Turkic court.On the way, Xue Yan and others learned from the imperial palace newspaper that 29 countries in the Western Regions, including Gaochang, had entered Beijing to celebrate.

This situation made Xue Yan immediately think of the necessary plots in the novels of time-traveling novels on the Internet—the big, the parade, and the soldiers that show the might of Chu Wuwei.

Heartbroken, Xue Yan immediately informed Xue Ji and Princess Pingyang of this idea.Princess Pingyang and Xue Ji are both enlisted in the army, hearing this kind of promotion of martial power, they readily agree.Later, the three members of Xue's family discussed with the generals, and all of them jointly petitioned Emperor Yong'an to agree to the military parade and military parade.

Although Emperor Yong'an was not a militaristic king, he proclaimed himself emperor with his military exploits from horseback. What's more, at this time when all the countries congratulated him, he would beat up and disable the Turkic troops. .It is also good to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, deter many subordinate countries, and Emperor Yong'an still has a selfish idea - he wants to prove to the Supreme Emperor that it is good to choose him as emperor, and he must be more suitable than the previous prince and King Qi to sit in the world.Therefore, without thinking about it at all, the imperial pen immediately approved it personally, and agreed to the proposals of the generals.

After the news spread, except for some courtiers who were worried that the move would cost the treasury financial and material resources, the rest were all elated.Putting up lanterns and festoons, sweeping the city, everyone is looking forward to the army of the Northern Expedition.The people in Chang'an also rushed to tell each other that they were ready to go out of the city to meet the army on the day when the army returned.

Not to mention how Chang'an's monarchs, ministers and people raised funds, but only said that since the day they met at the frontier, Xue Yan had been keenly aware that something was wrong with Wei Ziqi—every time he talked about him, he would talk about him, sometimes he clearly avoided him, and looked at him without paying attention. , but secretly looked at him endlessly, his greasy and crooked appearance was simply baffled by Xue Yan.I had no choice but to take advantage of the rest of the army, drag Wei Ziqi away from the brigade, and ask Wei Ziqi what the hell he meant. Wei Ziqi looked at Xue Yan with a complicated expression, in a trance.

He couldn't open his mouth to tell Xue Yan what he dreamed at night when he led the troops to pursue the Turkic royal court, and when he beheaded a famous Turkic soldier.

In his dream, Xue Yan still fell from the sky and entered the Youzhou Camp.After that, he recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, and the scenery was prominent all the way until he became an extremely powerful minister.Along the way, Wei Ziqi and Xue Yan still supported each other, whether it was the management of military affairs in the Youzhou camp, or the leisure time after returning to Chang'an City, and even later, Xue Yan was "thrown out" by Emperor Yong'an to Biancheng for disturbing the Guozijian As the governor, Xue Yan still has the ability to run a small city into the most prosperous place in the world - even worse than Chang'an.

However, such a talented national scholar saw that when Tubo was attacked more than ten years later, he fell into the enemy's ambush because of his carelessness.At that time, he was injured in the war and could no longer move.Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were trapped in the enemy camp.At the time of the crisis, Xue Yan still stood up and led a group of troops away with the courage of a strong man, but left him with the hope of life...

"...Sure enough, I'm just talking about wars on paper, and I don't have a golden finger that has been invincible on the battlefield. But don't worry, I won't die. It's just that the mission was interrupted and I returned to the place I came from. Fortunately, this The bridge sections that have been tossed over the years are enough, and there is no need to pay liquidated damages. You don’t need to be sad, you must live well. When you return to Chang’an, tell Aye, Auntie, I am not dead, I just went home. It’s okay Yea Niang gave birth to another little brother, otherwise I would really feel sorry for them."

After saying such inexplicable words, Xue Yan suddenly put the bronze bracelet on his wrist into his arms, and asked him to send it back to the hands of his master and mistress...

Then he left without hesitation with a team of broken men and horses.

Wei Ziqi only remembered Xue Yan's vigorous back gradually disappearing from his eyes.But in his dream, he finally got the reinforcements, brought the reinforcements and disabled the Tubo army. When he was looking for Xue Yan and his party, he found all the soldiers who led the army away or were seriously injured or died, but in the end he couldn't find Xue Yan. , this person just disappeared out of thin air in front of his eyes, no one was seen when he was alive, and no corpse was seen when he was dead.

After the news came back to Chang'an, the whole country mourned.Even though they repelled the Tubo people, they lost the national soldiers of Da Chu.The young man from the Xue family who had stirred up a lot of troubles since he appeared in Youzhou, finally left vigorously in a war that affected the situation of the world.

Only myself was left alone. Every time I passed by, every time I passed by, I saw the tablets of thousands of families worshiping Xue Yan in my eyes, and listened to the stories of Xue Yan in the market. I will never forget that there is a person who usually Call him brother and brother, and cooperate with him tacitly in official affairs, and finally sacrificed his life on the battlefield to save his life.

That bronze bracelet was worn on his hand forever and ever.In the end, he failed Xue Yan's expectations and did not hand over the bracelet to Master and Mistress.Just because he also wanted to keep a thought, so he could always remind himself that he, Wei Ziqi, owed Xue Yan his life!

"...Hey, I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about?"

When Wei Ziqi came back to his senses, he saw Xue Yan standing in front of him frowning with impatience.Such delicate eyebrows and exquisite facial features have shortened nearly ten years of life.

Because of that dream, Wei Ziqi now only remembers Xue Yan, a young man who is nearly [-] years old, but he has forgotten his appearance at this time. That dream was too real, such a heart-wrenching feeling, Such deep yearning and heart-piercing remorse almost made Wei Ziqi forget what is a dream and what is reality.

He stared blankly at Xue Yan asking aggressively in front of him. Surrounded by the cold wind and moon and the withered grass of the last winter, the cold wind was as cold as a knife. Such a real feeling made Wei Ziqi unable to restrain his emotions any longer, and subconsciously hugged him. Holding Xue Yan in his arms, he hugged his arms tightly and buried his head in Xue Yan's neck.

The refreshing aura that belonged exclusively to Xue Yan rushed towards his face, enveloping Wei Ziqi's whole body.The dreamlike but not dream that had troubled me for a long time was also left behind.Wei Ziqi sighed and said gratefully, "It's a good thing you didn't die."

"Yeah?" Seeing Wei Ziqi like this, Xue Yan blinked more and more confusedly.
