don't fight the general

For Yan Jing, the weather in Yunzhou is really amazing. There was a heavy snowfall a few years ago, and it was only a few days after the new year. After the ice disappeared and the snow melted, there were faint signs of spring—of course , the howling north wind is still the same as before, only the sun hanging high in the sky brings bursts of warmth to people.

Cui Wei and Yan Jing walked side by side in the streets and alleys of Yunzhou City. Yan Jing was wearing a padded gown and a rather heavy cloak, with the hood buckled on his head, covering the Most of the face.Compared with his appearance, Cui Wei looked much lighter, only wearing an extremely simple single suit, as if he could not feel the bleak cold wind.

The aftertaste of the New Year's Eve still fills the whole city. People come and go on the street, whether they are vendors or the most ordinary people, they still look beaming.Walking aimlessly in it, you will also be infected by this atmosphere invisibly, as if you are just the most ordinary and ordinary people. When people are together, they will be very content.

Cui Wei followed Yan Jing for more than half a street, and then suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning around to look at Yan Jing as if bewildered: "Brother Jing, it really doesn't matter if we just put Ju'er in the mansion by ourselves? "

"Huh?" Yan Jing's gaze was casually passing over the streets, and then turned back to Cui Wei after hearing the words: "There is a wet nurse to take care of you, so don't worry."

"I'm not worried," Cui Wei lowered his head and kicked a small stone away from his feet, "It's just that the army will go out in a few days, and there are only a few days left for us to be with Ju'er."

It only took a few days, and the situation in North Korea and China has changed rapidly. Two days ago, they received new news from the capital, saying that they had received orders from the South Vietnamese court, and the South Vietnamese army had already started to return. And, it seems very urgent.

And all of this was within their expectations.

The Northwest Garrison Army has been fighting all year round, and if it faces the Southwest Army, which is also stationed on the frontier all year round, it still dare to say that it has a good chance of winning.However, it is not only the Southwest Army that is in the capital this time, but also tens of thousands of South Vietnamese reinforcements.Kang Wang Chen Qixu paid several cities in the southwest in exchange for the help of the Nanyue King. Therefore, he did not take the northwest garrison seriously.

However, Nanyue is a small country in the southwest after all. Even if it has been recuperating in a corner over the years and its national strength has increased a lot, the extent it can achieve is very limited. This cooperation with Chen Qi is also taking a huge risk for the King of Nanyue. After all, they are not only bordering on a big Wei - they can take advantage of the big Wei, wouldn't others take advantage of them?

Of course, Yan Jing also made a lot of effort in this. As the future king of Wei, he even sent several envoys to walk around several small countries around South Vietnam with his own letters. It was much later than he expected, but the desired effect was still achieved. The Nanyue King, aware of the hidden dangers around him, immediately ordered his troops to retreat.

Now that the South Vietnamese Army has withdrawn, it is the best time for the Northwest Garrison to send troops.

After discussing with several generals in the army for several days and weighing the current preparations, Cui Wei and Yan Jing made this decision together.

It has been a few days since the decision was made, and there are not a few days left for the expedition.

Yan Jing was silent for a while, stretched out his hand to hold Cui Wei's hand that was slightly red from the cold because of too little clothes, and smiled softly with his lips curled up: "After this battle is over and I return to the capital, I'm afraid you I only think that I have to spend too much time with that little guy." He patted Cui Wei's hand lightly, and then directly interlocked his fingers, "Whether it is now or in the future, we cannot guarantee that we will stay with Cui Wei anytime, anywhere. It's by my son's side, so I should let him get used to it a little bit."

In this posture, Yan Jing pulled Cui Wei and continued to walk forward: "And we are going to go to war soon, so we should give us a chance to spend alone for a day, right?"

Cui Wei glanced sideways, glanced at the hands held tightly together by the two, and slowly raised his gaze, finally falling on Yan Jing's side face. Since returning to Yunzhou, the two of them really didn't spend much time together alone, whether it was In the palace or elsewhere, there was always Yan Jue by his side, either sleeping or playing around.Even if it is rare that he is not present, the two are mostly discussing the military situation or dealing with business.

It was obvious that they had already made up their minds, but there was almost no time when there were only the two of them together, carefree and carefree.They all have too many things backlogged in their hearts, and they can't allow a little free time for indulgence.

Thinking of this, Cui Wei couldn't help clenching his fingers intertwined with Yan Jing's. He looked around and thought, "Then where shall we go now?"

Yan Jing paused, and after thinking for a while, pointed in a direction: "Then let's go to Chunfenglou to eat lion's head."

Cui Wei's eyes widened, and lines of laughter immediately appeared on his lips: "Okay!"

Yan Jing glanced at him, and touched the top of his head with the other hand: "When you mention the lion's head, you seem to be happier than seeing me."

Cui Wei immediately shook his head and denied, "I've been back to Yunzhou for so long, but I haven't eaten a lion's head once." He raised his head slightly, looked up into Yan Jing's eyes, "Because even if I have half a minute of free time in the army, I just eat it." I want to go back home immediately."

Yan Jing laughed, and gently scratched his nose with his knuckles: "So, I should be the culprit who caused our general not to eat the lion's head? Well, I will make it up to you later."

The Chunfeng Building was still as lively as ever. As soon as the two entered, the enthusiastic storekeeper immediately greeted him: "It's been a long time, distinguished guest! Please go upstairs."

Yan Jing was slightly surprised: "The shopkeeper still remembers us?"

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, and looked at Cui Wei: "I'm not very familiar with you, young master, but this young master was a regular customer of our place before, and he came here almost every now and then, and every time he came, he ordered a lion dish." It's just that I haven't seen the young master in the past few months, I thought it was because the young master got tired of our house and changed places."

Cui Wei waved his hand immediately: "Some time ago, I was not in the city. The lion's head in the store is so delicious, how can I get tired of eating it?"

What Cui Wei said was sincere, which put the shopkeeper in a good mood. While leading the two of them upstairs, he turned his head and told Xiao Er: "Bring me the jar of wine under the counter, and treat it as if I entertained the two of you today." A young man."

Yan Jing curled her lips when she heard the words, glanced at Cui Wei, and continued walking forward.

Compared with the downstairs, the upstairs is much quieter. Yan Jing looked around and sat down at the window seat—he was sitting here when he and Cui Wei came together for the first time that day, and now they are sitting at the same seat However, the relationship between the two has undergone tremendous changes, which is a different feeling.

Yan Jing looked away, only to find that Cui Wei, who was sitting opposite him, was propping his chin with one hand, staring at him intently, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Why are you looking at me like that, what are you thinking?"

Cui Wei thought for a while, and replied: "I just thought, if you count it, you and I don't seem to have known each other for a long time, but it seems that a lot of things have happened." He unconsciously drew a few times on the table with his fingers, "The last time you and I came here together was in summer, and some people were even talking about the relationship between you and me, and the relationship is particularly bad, but in a blink of an eye, it is today."

Speaking of this, he turned his gaze back to Yan Jing: "I just suddenly felt that, but a few months have passed, many things have happened, and you, Brother Jing, have changed a lot."

Yan Jing squeezed her chin, and smiled slightly: "Really, do you think that I am better than I was then?"

"No," Cui Wei immediately denied, "The essence of a person will not change. It is said that it has changed, but it does not mean that it has become completely opposite. It's just..." He thought for a while and organized his words , "It just seems to feel that brother Jing seems to have grown up in these few months."

Yan Jing opened his eyes slightly, and then laughed again: "It seems that I was too incompetent before." He looked at Cui Wei tenderly, and said with a smile, "Actually, Ah Wei has grown up a lot, and he has grown taller. She has grown stronger and taken on more things, but she looks the same as before, pure and kind, strong and determined."

Being praised so straightforwardly by Yan Jing, Cui Wei inevitably blushed, he unconsciously rubbed his slightly hot earlobe, and finally just whispered: "Brother Jing, in fact, I am not... as good as you said. "

Yan Jing picked up the teacup on the table and poured water for the two of them: "Actually, Awei, you are much better than what I said. If it wasn't for meeting you, I might be here now..." Speaking of which, he He shook his head lightly, "I don't know what choice the original Yan Jing would make in this situation. Maybe he really escaped to a place that no one knew and started a life that had nothing to do with the past. After all, When I was growing up, I never imagined that one day I would be responsible for this world. In my eyes at that time, whether it was the common people in this world or thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, it had nothing to do with me. What I wanted was nothing more than It is to escape from the imperial city that is heavily bound, and to live a life of freedom without restraint."

Yan Jing handed the water glass to Cui Wei, and gently touched his cup with his own: "But now, I want to go back there with you and stay there. I want to shoulder this great Wei Qianshen The rivers and mountains with hundreds of holes, I want to try to do something for the people of the world."

Cui Wei clenched the water glass in his hand and nodded vigorously: "No matter what Brother Jing wants to do, I will be with you."

Yan Jing slightly bent the corner of her eyes: "I know."

It is precisely because of knowing that we dare to move forward.That's why Yan Jing said that this young man is better than what he said, because of his appearance, Yan Jing had never had the courage before.
