Chen Jing was eager to try, his finger bones creaked, and he wanted to get on his horse with a gun and go to Beiyi to meet this ghost-faced Shura, but this side has not reported the matter to the Holy One, and the other side's memorials flew like snowflakes, It is said that there have been severe droughts in the south, and even though the immortal officials prayed for rain several times, the victims have lost their patience due to the bad weather. There are faint rumors from the people that the emperor killed too many people in the past, which has violated the rules of heaven. Sin, to be replaced by a new dynasty.

These words can be described as rebellious and immoral, but they were spread quickly and spread to the court one after another. The Holy Majesty was furious, and sent people to quell the chaos, and ordered Chen Jing to go with the army.

Chen Jing originally wanted to lead the army to Beiyi, but how did he know that there was such an errand suddenly, which made his hopes come to nothing, but the emperor's decree must not be disobeyed, so he had to go to the south with the army to participate in the quelling of the chaos.

He was born in the north since he was a child. Yongkang City has been snowing and freezing for years. In the imperial city, there are four distinct seasons. The climate is pleasant in spring, summer, autumn and winter. But in the south, it is scorching summer. , boil a bowl of thin soup with yellow rice noodles, which is the ration for the family to be grateful for.

Compared with the young children Chen Jing had seen before, the children here were yellow and thin, their hands and feet were as thin as sticks, and they were either cowering or fearful, or they were so hungry that they dared to fight wild dogs for food. Chen Jing and the others did not have enough food and grass for disaster relief. Not to mention, the victims in this area were obviously dissatisfied with the imperial court, and they also spoke harsh words to the officials who came to relieve the disaster. They were at war with each other, and they seemed to be fighting with swords at any time.

What he saw with his own eyes is different from what he heard. When Chen Jing was young, the world was determined. He was born in the general's mansion, where there were all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, and delicacies were readily available. Yongkang City was located on the border, but the commercial roads were smooth. In the past, when he picked the fat and thinned out the rice grains, he would be scolded by his elder brother when he found out, saying that he was extravagant and wasteful and would not eat the sufferings of the world.

But when he came here now, he saw the eyes of the children crying, and the grievances in the past were shattered. He had never experienced the years of war, but the devastated land and the crumbling huts were not fake. The victims in ragged clothes They gathered in groups of three or four, begging along the street, Chen Jing looked up at the sky, there was no cloud in the surrounding area, the sun was like a red sun, shooting straight at his eyes, his cheeks and arms were scorched and cracked, his skin was scorching hot, and he was forced to People frowned and couldn't sleep peacefully all day.

The disaster victims looked fierce, but they didn't intend to take up their swords and guns to rebel. Chen Jing and the others could not do anything to their compatriots, and the two sides faced each other far away, keeping a cautious distance.

After going on like this for a few days, in the evening suddenly dark clouds covered the sky, thunder burst out, and lightning pierced the night sky. Humid rain gathered in the wind, and his body was sticky. It seemed that something had climbed up. Chen Jing couldn't sleep. Sitting in the ground, the rain falls on the cheeks, and there is a sweet taste to the touch.

The children beside him were running around, and the adults were not around at night, so they were not afraid of Chen Jing, but took out small bamboo bowls and put them on the ground to wait.

The thunder rolled down, the rustling rain was louder, and the rain fell on the ground like a curtain, soaking the dry land. The children were ecstatic, holding bowls and running around. When they received the water, they raised their heads and drank it. They knelt down and kowtowed to thank God. Thank you Xianguan.

The greenery surged up, tender buds emerged from the jagged rocks, Chen Jingyang stroked his forehead with his hands in the soil, the rain soaked the corners of his chapped lips and moistened his dumb throat.

The victims thanked the tsunami, and Chen Jing silently pulled out the bud and held it tightly in his palm.

Oh I see.

People are devastated and displaced... It turns out to be like this.

One day, if the immortal official falls, there will be no magic power in the world, and I don't know how many people will suffer from famine and lose their parents and relatives.

Although Chen Jing agreed to the matter of Zhuxincao, he didn't take it to heart at that time. Right now, the spiritual creature that can live and die in the mouth of the immortal official is engraved in his heart, and he secretly searched for it.

The war here has temporarily stopped, and Chen Jing and the others were sent to other places to continue to help the victims. They thought that coming to the court was just a stopgap measure, and they could always go home during the holidays. Unexpectedly, the weather is really abnormal, and there are even more riots everywhere. Frequently, one wave of ups and downs and another wave of ups and downs made them exhausted, and they seldom had time to rest.Time flies by like water, and Chen Jing is like the Dayu who never entered the house three times. It was not until the fourth year that the weather was good and the weather caught up with Xiu Mu.

When Zhou Shuning saw her younger brother, she was speechless for a moment, and when Chen Jing came up, she tilted her head and smiled, saying that her sister-in-law didn't recognize me, so she widened her eyes and gestured her arms a few times: "When will Ah Jing... ... so tall?"

The Ah Jing in front of me is no longer the little kid back then. The younger brother back then had a round head, a round brain, and hairy hands and feet, bumping around in trouble, like a fledgling cub. Jing grows a lot, has a strong figure, handsome eyebrows, strong shoulders and forearms, and when she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, and her white teeth stand out. She has to look up to see people clearly.

Well, it's a lot darker than before after being outside in the wind and sun every day.

Zhou Shuning looked at the person again and again, and circled around him a few times, he really couldn't get enough of it.

"I haven't practiced the ability to disguise myself yet. This is the real Chen Jing." Chen Jing bent down, pulled his face, and blinked his eyelashes. "Sister-in-law, take a closer look, but do you still have any doubts?"

Zhou Shuning gave him a reproachful look, and led her younger brother into the mansion: "Your elder brother hopes that his son will become a dragon, and the five-year-old forced him to practice martial arts. Now they are still wrestling in the martial arts arena, and they won't be back until noon. How long will you stay this time?"

"I have to go back in two days at most," Chen Jing shook his head and sighed, "How is my sister-in-law? In the letter, she only said that everything is fine, which makes me very worried."

"Walking around in the courtyard is not a problem, it's just that I'm short of strength, and I can't do everything," Zhou Shuning said with a smile, "Thanks to Mr. for taking care of me, it's much better than before. Ah Jing can concentrate on her own work and don't have to worry about her family. Now that you are grown up, before you come back, the Holy Majesty has decreed to set up another mansion for you, you can see if there are any girls who are used to you at home, and take them there together."

Separate residence...

He will have his own mansion.

The thing that I once dreamed of and dreamed of is now within my reach, but it has changed, leaving me in a mess.

The person you want can't be obtained, the person you want to marry has disappeared, and you probably won't be able to marry.

Zhou Shuning noticed that Chen Jing was in a low mood, so he asked him to take a bath and change clothes, and waited for Chen Jing to return to Hu Xiaozhu. There were actually a lot of greeting cards in the courtyard, each embroidered with dragon and phoenix showing good luck, which looked very festive at first glance.

Chen Jing was sweating profusely, it seems that his lack of prestige has not been spread back to the mansion, and the matchmakers still regard him as a sweet potato.

"Sister-in-law is really direct." Chen Jing rubbed the forehead, unable to laugh or cry for a while, "I can't even be perfunctory if I want to."

"I still want to be perfunctory when I'm too old." Zhou Shuning sat at the table, holding up a wedding invitation, "You run around outside, and the threshold of your family will be broken. Ordinary people should marry wives and have children when they reach your age. , Which girl Ah Jing likes, feel free to tell sister-in-law, sister-in-law will take good care of you."

"The world is not at peace right now, and Beiyi is about to move. Even if I want to marry a wife, I don't have time to prepare at home," Chen Jing said.

"You and your sister-in-law are so polite, you really treat yourself as an outsider," Zhou Shuning said, "The ancients said that a family and a business can be established, and a prosperous family business can lead to a prosperous career. People should not dwell on the past, they should always look forward."

Start a family and start a business...

Chen Jing didn't know that his sister-in-law was talking about himself, why didn't he think that if he had never met a boy, now he might marry a wife and have children step by step, and the children would all run around.

"Uncle!"

A pinball hits outside, the meat is round and round, and it hits the leg straight. The ball screams like a baby, and spreads its arms to hug. At first glance, it looks like a big brother, but when it smiles, it looks like a sister-in-law. Chen Jing couldn't put it down, and picked up his nephew: "How does Hutou know that I am an uncle?"

"Uncle has a portrait." Hutou hugged Chen Jing's neck, and he was very close by nature. "My parents always show me the portrait of my uncle, saying that my uncle is a great hero."

Chen Jing blushed immediately, and almost got into the ground. He, the "big hero", has been hit by the board a lot, and his pants were so swollen that he couldn't lift them up. Now he has a smaller doll, and even his image follows him. A lot taller.

"Tiger head down," Chen Rui scolded angrily, "Uncle came back from a long distance, let uncle have a good rest."

Hutou stuck out his tongue, obediently slid off Chen Jing's body, and went out to play with the maidservant. Zhou Shuning took a few sips, went out to change Hutou's clothes, and left his brothers to drink and talk about themselves.

The wine in the mansion was very alcoholic. After drinking for three rounds, Chen Jing was a little drunk and couldn't help saying: "Brother, what kind of treasure is there in the dragon's veins that attracts everyone?"

"It is said to be some kind of picture handed down from generation to generation. It records rare treasures, which can life and death human flesh and bones. It can broaden people's spiritual wisdom and make monsters become immortals." Chen Rui put down his wine cup, "The picture with the dragon veins destroyed is gone. Check it out There has been no news for a long time, and the matter is over."

Chen Jing's thoughts turned to him: "Is it related to that Punishing Heart Grass?"

Chen Rui frowned, "What is that?"

"It's nothing." Chen Jing handed over the wine cup and touched Chen Rui, "Brother, drink."

Chen Jing understood that the elder brother knew nothing about it, he just followed the imperial decree to protect the dragon's veins, and the elder brother didn't want to pursue the damage of the dragon's veins. Things got bigger.

The two of them exchanged cups and exchanged cups, got drunk with each other, and chatted a lot. Chen Jing remembered that ghost-faced Asura, and always wanted to lead his troops to have a look: "Brother, what's going on in Beiyi recently, but they are still looting everywhere." ?”

"We are still plundering the surrounding tribes, and we have been fighting back and forth with constant casualties," Chen Ruidao, "I know you want to lead troops there, but right now the treasury is empty and the refugees are full of complaints. The large-scale conquest will be a waste of time and money, and the northern barbarians have not invaded the country. , let them fight and consume themselves first, and I can reap the benefits later."

Chen Jing nodded and sighed: "Brother's words are very true. When everything is ready, I will meet them well."

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, each drank more than usual, later Chen Rui was overwhelmed by alcohol, and fell asleep on the table, Chen Jing looked at the gray hair on the sideburns of the elder brother, put a coat on the elder brother, and sent him back to the couch to rest.

His own mansion has already been built. Although it is not as vast as the General's Mansion, it has everything you can expect from pavilions, towers, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. There are many yellow ducks and white geese scattered in the lake. When people come, they wander around and stretch their necks. Wanting to eat, Chen Jing leaned on the side of the fence, sprinkled a lot of grain, and stood there watching the livestock fight for food, fighting with each other.

The mansion was not long after it was built, and it looked empty at first glance, without even a trace of its popularity. Chen Jing wandered around the mansion at will, found a door to go in and lay down, feeling drunk and feeling pain in his head, he groped in his bosom, The close-fitting jade pendant was taken out, and slowly stuck on the forehead.

The warm jade was warmed by the body temperature, and it was still warm after a long while. Chen Jing became drowsy and drowsy. When he woke up again, his chest was hot. He dispatched an elite soldier from the mansion, followed him to climb to the top of Taihang Mountain, and looked at the opposite side.

Beiyi's tents could be faintly seen, one after another, scattered separately, the gusts of wind blew up, and the flags danced violently. Chen Jing stood among the clouds, taking a deep breath of cool air, his hair was scattered and curled around his neck. Intertwined into a group.

Chen Jing remained silent and stood in the wind for a long time. When the sun was low, he led the army back to the mansion and arranged for each other.

He has commanded soldiers several times when he was away, and he still has the ability to arrange troops. It's just that the eldest brother of the Chen family army has been with him for a long time, and he doesn't have a deep relationship with him. When the elites come over, first let them recognize more people and get acquainted with themselves.

The two-day period passed quickly, Chen Jing told Chen Rui about the training of elite soldiers, and asked Chen Rui to help him practice first. He wanted to sneak in to see Mr., but Mr. went to the mountains to collect herbs. There was no news for a few days, and he could not see him. People, they had no choice but to go back to the imperial city first.

Sleeping in the wind and dust on the road, faintly always sleeping restlessly, he recalled all kinds of things in the past, and thought of the fairy officials saying that their clansmen were born good doctors, all of them were top experts in curing diseases and saving lives, and he, Chen Jing, has seen his husband save dying people from the plague. Sick patients, sisters-in-law who were bleeding profusely, and children who were dying of famine on the roadside, it seems that the life and death of people are controlled by the husband. As long as the husband really wants to save, there is no one who cannot be saved.

Even the imperial doctor in the imperial city...is not as capable as Mr.

Chen Jing turned over, his eyes were as bright as candles. He was too familiar with people around him before, so that he ignored many of them. Mr. Mingming used to be his home all over the world, and his whereabouts were a mystery. He didn't have any familiar old friends and relatives. The past is kept secret, and when it is brought up, it is perfunctory...

But the fairy official said that his own people are all blond and blue-eyed, and the husband is obviously no different from ordinary people.

No, even he, Chen Jing, can find thorns and fruits. Mr. has the art of rejuvenation, so it must not be difficult to change his appearance.

So what about Bai Qing, could it be that he and Mr. Zhang knew each other before and planned the dragon vein together?

No, this is not right, if this is the case, you don't have to worry about the plague, and you won't stay in the city after the dragon's veins are destroyed, and continue to do what you did before.

Perhaps, as the fairy official said, their clan members fell apart and became anonymous. Some lived in the mountains, some lived in the forest, and some lived silently in the city. Even if they passed each other face to face, they might still not know each other.

Chen Jing rubbed his chest subconsciously, took out the jade bracelet, and twirled it gently between his fingers.

The past is like fragments, one piece after another, barely integrated, there is still something missing from each other, I always feel that there is a missing piece of rope, or a piece of clay, which is clearly within reach, but it is always incomplete.

Chen Jing returned to the court to return to his command, and was sent to the south to practice with the army soon after. He finally returned to the court, and he couldn't rest well in his own palace, so he went to drink in the glass palace. The immortal officials were not surprised by his arrival. The two gradually developed a tacit understanding, with two jugs of spirits and two cups, once drunk they would last until dawn.

After two years of busy work like this, Chen Jing found that every time he came to the Liuli Palace, the figure of the fairy official was thinner than before, and his face and lips were also whiter than before. Sleeping, unable to wake up all day long.

The matter of Zhuxincao was kept in mind by Chen Jing, but there was still no news after many inquiries. Every time the fairy officials did it, they wrapped themselves tightly, and most of their faces were hidden|outside, and they couldn't even see their appearance clearly. Looking for a blond man with blue eyes who is similar to the fairy official... I have no clue.

In the past two years, Chen Jing has grown a lot, his brow feathers have faded, his shoulders are much longer and wider, he is half a head taller than Chen Rui, he walks and sits crouching like a tiger, his prestige has gradually faded, and the young ladies of the aristocratic families are all shocked when they see him. With active thoughts, they asked their father and brother to find a matchmaker to come to the door. Chen Jing couldn't refuse, so he had to go back to Yongkang City to serve his brother and sister-in-law on the grounds of missing his relatives.

Over the years, the national treasury has been filled a lot. Beiyi recovered many surrounding tribes, and they frequently came to the border of Liang State to test it. It has reached the point where it has to be guarded. Ping Beiyi and broaden the prestige of Liang Liang.

When Chen Jing returned home, all the neighbors hung red silk lanterns under the eaves, set off fireworks and firecrackers, and prayed for the general's return in victory.

Chen Jing saw his brother and sister-in-law, so he went straight to the school to look for his husband. The school stood next to the arch bridge in the city, surrounded by lush greenery, full of planted viburnum and green grass, they shook their leaves in the wind, rustling to welcome visitors.

Chen Jing changed into casual clothes, and sat waiting in the pavilion in the courtyard. The children's voices in the room were bursting into his ears, and the market was bustling in the distance. The steamed buns in the steamer were steaming. Come on, make people greedy.

He is not addicted to sweets, and he has no feeling for candied gourds, but Bai Qing loves sweets, and he can't move when encountering them.

Is Bai Qing still alive?

If you are still alive... Have you eaten enough sugar people these years?

The jade bracelet in his bosom touched his breastbone, Chen Jing turned his sitting position and made it change direction.

The door of the school opened, and the children jumped out like swifts flying out. He Zhongyin followed behind, yelling to slow down, while pulling the door to the maximum, so as not to touch the children.

Chen Jing stepped forward to help, He Zhongyin was stunned for a while when he saw the person coming, and it took a while to realize: "Ah Jing...is so tall."

The wooden door of the school was short and narrow. Chen Jing bent over and squeezed in from the side: "Before, I always hurried back and forth, and I never had a good reminiscence with my husband, but my husband has never changed, and he is still so handsome."

"Is this still the same Ah Jing back then?" He Zhongyin blinked slyly, "What did Ah Jing remember when I saw me back then?"

Chen Jing was swayed abruptly, and touched his nose uncomfortably: "In the past, he was really young and frivolous, which made Mr. laugh."

He Zhongyin smiled and waved his hands, leading Chen Jing to the small courtyard at the back, pouring new tea for someone: "Taste the newly picked young leaves, you won't be disappointed."

Chen Jing raised the teacup, flicked it between his lips a few times, and the tip of his nose twitched slightly: "Have you ever heard of Zhuxincao, sir?"
