[Chapter 176-The calm before the ultimate battle] A family reunion is called the New Year

Because of Ah Kan's special status and his unusual appearance, it was naturally inconvenient to go out, so he could only stay in Wen's house every day, and he became irritable within two days, seeing everyone in a posture about to breathe fire.

"What do you think of this matter?" Shen Qianfeng poured a cup of tea for him.

"Huh?" Ye Jin returned to his senses, blinking his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The patriarch of the Pomeng clan." Shen Qianfeng said.

"He." Ye Jin thought for a while, "covered with hairy."

Shen Qianfeng: "..."

Ye Jin hugged the cat and yawned and went back to the house lazily to sleep. It was very distressing to leave the leader of Shen to sit in the courtyard alone.

And Master Wen was also very distressed at this time, squatting at the gate of the courtyard, dragging his cheeks to look out.

Mu Qingshan tried his best to persuade him: "Even if the adults stay here and don't move their nests, they won't make the merchant ship go faster."

"Why don't you have a letter yet." Wen Liunian shook his fingers and counted, "The days are almost too."

"Sakura Island is still some distance away from here, and there is a strong wind on the nearest sea. It is not surprising that the boat will be delayed." Mu Qingshan said, "If you miss the master, why don't you take out the previous letter and read it again? "I want to come and have a huge pile, and I should be able to cope with this period of time.

Wen Liunian said boredly: "It's boring, you can remember it."

Mu Qingshan: "..."

Wen Liunian asked, "Master, do you want to listen?"

Mu Qingshan shook his head quickly.

Wen Liunian continued to sigh.

There was a noise from outside the courtyard. Mu Qingshan thought it was the secret guards fighting again. Just thinking about going out to have a look, Wuying was lying on his back without wind, and the two staggered and rushed in.

"My lord." Wufeng smiled and put Wuying aside.

"Master No Wind." Wen Liunian was a little surprised, "Why are you here."

"I have been investigating near Bel-Air Bay a few days ago. Thinking of being close to here, I stopped by to take a look at Ah Ying." No wind said, "Isn't there any trouble?"

"Naturally not." Wuying protested.

"Thank you," Mu Qingshan said, "Quickly come in and sit, I'll make tea."

"Can you find anything?" Wen Liunian asked.

"There is not much useful information." No wind shook his head. "There is a lot of fog near Bel-Air, and merchant ships have always had to take detours. The sea is no more than on land, and it is much more difficult to conduct secret investigations. I don't care if there is any danger for the time being. If you are found, you will startle the snake, so you can only keep guarding the periphery."

"It is also expected," Wen Liunian said, "Otherwise, Chu Heng would not be selected to raise sharks."

"Is there no way?" Mu Qingshan put the tea tray on the table.

"At present, there is really no way to get in." No wind said, "Chu Heng's warship will enter the Bel-Air Bay every three months, which is called a combat drill to the outside world."

"It is fair to propose that we should go and watch the game together." Wen Liunian said, "But this kind of drills happen almost every few days, and the places are not the same. If we happen to go to Beisha Bay, the other party will definitely be suspicious. "

"I can't do it in the sky, and I can't get in in the dark, so just wait like that?" Mu Qingshan asked.

"If you can't find other ways, you can only continue to wait." Wen Liunian said, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you will fall short."

Mu Qingshan said, "I don't know when to wait." Recently, the Chu family's father and son are extremely peaceful. Not only do they lead soldiers to patrol the city every day, they also open warehouses to release grain from time to time, and even build a school in the city. There is a posture of working hard, and it is not easy to wait for them to show their feet.

"If Chu Heng can always be like this, it's not bad." Wen Liunian said, "Even if you show it to us, at least the people will really benefit from it.

"It is estimated that he is burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, and hopes that the adults will leave earlier." Wuying took a bite of the peach in his hand, "Then we won't leave!"

"That's right." Wufeng knocked on his head. "Look at the adult's letter saying that someone wants to propose you a marriage?"

"Ahem." Wuying was choked, and looked at Wen Liunian with grief, "Say it should be kept secret!"

Master Wen looked calmly at the sky.

"The Pinglang Gang is now ruined and killed, so I don't want to make fun of it anymore." Wuying wiped his mouth.

"It's not a joke, but when he saw the letter, he said that he should pay attention to a family relationship." Wufeng put his arm around his shoulder with one hand, "Tell me, what kind of girl do you like?"

Wuying thought for a while, "I have a good temper and can make delicious tofu dashi and sugar pie. I can't haunt me from time to time. It's better to have some punches and kicks."

"Nothing?" Wufeng opened his eyes wide.

"Nothing." Wuying shook his head.

The corners of the mouth were whispered: "Let you choose your daughter-in-law, not the Wang aunt who asked you to describe the chef of Rakura Island."

"Puff." Mu Qingshan was amused.

"Why don't you chase the heroes of the shadow palace and talk to me as a matchmaker?" Wen Liunian thought on a whim.

"Come and come, let's discuss it carefully and see what kind of fit you can find." Wufeng took his dear brother out.

Wuying held the pillar in tears, let go of me quickly, it's clear that you are not married yet!

Since Beisha Bay is temporarily unable to enter, and Chu Yuan has ordered everyone to try not to attack the snake, Wen Liunian and others have not taken the next step. He just went to the army for inspections as usual, and went to the surrounding villages to visit people's conditions at intervals.

Duan Baiyue still held the banner of worshipping the ancestors, facing the Chu State Navy far away, like a thorn in his heart, unable to pull or remove. Chu Heng also secretly sent his confidant to take the opportunity to provoke the contradiction between him and Shen Qianfeng, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea—not only did there be no trouble, but even people disappeared without a trace. After so many times, the Chu family The father and son finally realized that Duan Baiyue was not a simple character, and he was a little safer.

Summer goes through autumn to winter, and in a blink of an eye it's the New Year's Eve. Ye Jin followed Shen Qianfeng back to the south of the Yangtze River to accompany her father and mother to celebrate the New Year. Shang Yunze took Mu Qingshan out to see the rare return, Wuying also returned to Sakura Island. On New Year's Eve, Wen Liunian got up early in the morning, wrote a lot of spring festival couplets to the people in the city, went to the kitchen for a walk, and then sat on the threshold with his cheeks and sighed.

This year seems to be a little deserted.

"My lord!" The dark guard was beaming, and drove a group of geese in.

Wen Liunian: "..."

"It was given by the people." The dark guard explained, "I can't give up, we paid the money."

"So many." Wen Liunian looked around, "Where do you want to raise it."

"Just run around." The secret guard said, "It's also lively listening to the quack."

Wen Liunian wanted to cry even more suddenly, and he had to rely on the geese to make fun.

"The King Daming wrote a few days ago, saying that the great master has made great strides recently." The dark guard sat beside him, "It's not easy to interrupt at this time."

"I know." Wen Liunian squeezed his fingers, but still wanted to.

"When we finish eating, we will accompany the adults to go shopping on the street." The guard continued to coax, "There is a fish that shines."

"Yeah." Wen Liunian thought, a shiny fish.

After basking in the sun, two red-clad wolves crawled in from the outside, posing for insects to eat.

New Year.

Wen Liunian stood up and patted his clothes. Just about to go to the kitchen to serve minced meat, there was a "Xiao Liuzi" outside, so he was startled, scratching his ears, wondering if he had hallucinations.

Mrs. Wen carried the skirt and stepped in happily from outside.

"Mother!" Wen Liunian was extremely surprised.

"Hey!" Mrs. Wen laughed almost from ear to ear, followed by Wen Rumo, Zhou Dingtian, Zhou Mubai, and a large carriage of New Year goods.

"Daddy!" Wen Liunian was about to cry.

Wen Rumo Le Haha, by the way, he glanced at Zhou Dingtian triumphantly, how about it, my son, who called me first.

"Cough!" Zhou Dingtian coughed twice.

"Godfather." Wen Liunian leaped forward happily.

"It's fatter again." Zhou Dingtian hugged him, "It's good."

"The waist is thinner." Wen Liunian emphasized.

"It's better to be fat, and to have official authority." Zhou Dingtian put him on the ground, "Originally he should have been there three days ago, but on the way I happened to meet the head of Li for a birthday. I drank a glass of wine in the past so I was late."

Wen Liunian's nose was slightly red, and he still felt that he was dreaming.

"With your second uncle and elder brother at home, we will come to this big Kun city to celebrate the New Year. We can't let you be outside every year." Mrs. Wen took his hand and laughed, "Just come out and relax. ."

Originally, I was thinking of celebrating the New Year in a cold and cold climate. I didn’t expect that the whole family gathered together. The dark guard happily let everyone live. Zhou Dingtian and Wen Rumo went to the street to buy wine, and Mrs. Wen also rolled up their sleeves to do it. Lion Head, just last year the cargo side thought about taking Huaiqi out, but suddenly a strong man of five big and three thick came in from outside, his face was very hideous, and he was shocked immediately.

"Mother." Wen Liunian hurried out of the kitchen. "His name is Akan. He is the chief of the southwest tribe, not a bad person."

"It turned out to be Miao Jiang." Mrs. Wen stroked her chest, "It looks really strong, are you married?"

Wen Liunian: "..."

"Not yet." Ah Kan said gruffly, "Go back and marry again."

Mrs. Wen looked at him around, shook her head and said, "Since you are in the Central Plains, you have to dress neatly. It's not easy to go out."

"Master Wen won't tell me to go out." Ah Kan went into the kitchen and pulled a roasted chicken leg to eat. Being bored in the house every day, I was really irritable at first. Later, Wen Liunian probably felt that this would not work, so he began to teach him some civil and military strategies to govern the country, which sounded quite interesting. The dark guard would also teach him some punches and kicks when he was free, and occasionally would sneak out to the sea together, which was quite fun, so he was no longer anxious to go back.

"The status is special, it is not convenient to be seen by others." Wen Liunian explained.

"So it's like that." Mrs. Wen felt very pitiful when she saw him squatting on the steps and gnawing on chicken legs, so she sent someone to buy a new set of clothes and asked him what he liked to eat. .

"The Pomeng clan is not young." A Kan said.

"Since I live together, it is a family, but I always have to eat in New Year." Mrs. Wen tidyed up his messy hair, "I think of Xiao Liuzi when I see you."

Master Wen's eyes widened, this can also be linked together, and we don't look very similar.

"It's always floating outside, but I can't go back if I have a family." Mrs. Wen sighed, "The world is not peaceful."

"It will be peaceful." Wen Liunian added next to him. During this period of time, the layout of Chu’s garrison has undergone a new look. The northwest garrison was transferred to the northeast in large numbers, while Shen Qianfan’s troops in the northeast were withdrawn to the Wangcheng. The military force in the south of the Yangtze River obviously began to tilt towards the East China Sea. Eighty percent of the emperor's move was to deal with Duan Baiyue-to sacrifice to an ancestor can be sacrificed for one or two years, saying that there is no other intention, and a fool would not believe it.

"Do you want to fight?" Mrs. Wen asked.

"Perhaps." Wen Liunian smiled and opened a pack of peanut candy, "for the New Year's Day, don't talk about it."

When everyone came back from the outside, Mrs. Wen had already slapped Ah Kan. His hair was neatly tied, he changed into new clothes, and his beard was shaved clean. If it weren’t for the tattoos on his face, he would almost have to Can't recognize who it is.

The dark guard rushed forward, scrambling to mess up his hair, and a large white geese in the yard followed in the fun, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped into a mess. Zhou Mubai carried the wine jar and jumped onto the wall to avoid being innocent. Mrs. Wen laughed and turned back to the kitchen to cook.

"There are so many people here?" Chu Heng frowned after hearing the announcement.

"Not only the parents of Master Wen, but also the head of the Peacock Door and the Third Young Master." The spy said, "Plus the people chasing the shadow palace, a courtyard is noisy."

Chu Heng rubbed his temples in distress.

"We didn't plan to do anything. Even if we chase the palace lord, we shouldn't be afraid." Chu Cheng poured a cup of tea for him. "Father, don't worry."

"I always feel that the visitors are unkind." Chu Heng said, "Is there any movement on Duan Baiyue's end?"

"Another group of troops have been dispatched to come over. It depends on the posture to make big moves." Chu Cheng said, "What does the emperor mean?"

"Same as before, I order you and I not to act rashly, lest the two sides constrain their forces and be taken advantage of by the East Sea pirates when they are fighting." Chu Heng said, "After the imperial army has been deployed, the war will officially begin."

"The emperor shouldn't think that Duan Baiyue will always wait in place and wait for him to arrange everything properly, right?" Chu Cheng sneered.

"That can drag a day or a day." Chu Heng said, "The longer the preparation time, the better it will be for the court. According to the current situation, even if Duan Baiyue suddenly goes to war, there will be you and me in the front, enough for Shen Qianfan to lead the army to rush. To this Da Kun City."

Chu Cheng shook his head: "Even if you win a big victory by then, the military exploits will be someone else's, but it's a good deal."

"In order to win the Sun Moon Villa Moon Chase Shadow Palace, the court can't wait to give all the benefits to the Shen family." Chu Heng said, "After the year comes, think of a way to meet the Southwest King. Let's try it out first to see what his purpose is. "

"But in order to provoke the conflict between him and Shen Qianfeng, it was quite offensive." Chu Cheng said carefully, "Listening to all kinds of rumors, the Southwest King is not an open-minded person, and he will always report it."

"If you want to do big things, if you want to stick to these small hatreds and grievances, you will not be able to become a climate." Chu Heng said, "To be able to dominate one side and become the hegemon, you should be able to weigh the pros and cons and know how to choose which is best for you. Now the court Seeing him as a thorn in the eye, only by cooperating with us can the chances of winning be better."

Chu Cheng nodded, turned around and went out to prepare. Seeing his gloomy complexion, the people in the mansion were all silent, afraid to speak loudly. They were quiet everywhere. Although it was New Year's Eve, there was no taste of the year, which was in sharp contrast with the Wen Mansion not far away.

Mrs. Wen fry and fry, there is a table full of vegetables, which is not too small, and she has made a copper pot to boil the seafood, only to feel a little satisfied. Ah Kan still spent the first time outside to celebrate the New Year. He felt that there was wine and meat and he could speak loudly. There was no messy rules. He was quite comfortable. He became happy and was very close to Mrs. Wen. He kept talking about some things that happened in the southwest. thing.

"Eating grasshoppers?" Madam Wen paled.

"There are poisonous insects everywhere?" Mrs. Wen's face paled again.

"It's useless for scholars?" Mrs. Wen's face paled again.

When she heard that "a man with status should marry a wife at least five times", Mrs. Wen finally looked at her son with a trepidation. A Yue wouldn't do the same, right?

Master Wen calmly took a bite of trotters: "My mother is thinking too much."

Don't say marry home, dare to look more and break his leg.

Really very fierce.

The island of Fallen Sakura in the East China Sea was also brightly lit at this time. Wuying was mad with a group of little dolls outside. Zhao Yue raised his head and drank a glass of wine with Jiyue Sword beside him.

"For those who are celebrating the New Year, are they still planning to practice and fail." Yun Duanhun slowly poured his wine.

Zhao Yue smiled: "I want to go back sooner."

"When you become a master, you may be able to help Xiao Liuzi again before you get to know Da Kun City." Yun Duanhun said.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yue put down his wine glass.

"Go to Beisha Bay." Yun Duanhun said, "There is an army formation, no one can break in. Xiaoliuzi once wrote a letter saying that there might be a shark in it."

"Sailor?" Zhao Yue frowned, "Really?"

"Maybe, Xiao Liuzi doesn't seem to believe it very much, but someone has actually seen it." Yun Duanhun said, "Wufeng went to investigate twice, and there was not much gain."

Zhao Yue nodded, picked up the Jiyue Sword and walked out.

"Where is the young master going?" Wuying asked.

"Practicing." Zhao Yue didn't look back.

"Don't take a day off during the New Year?" Wuying puzzled.

"For Master Wen, let's not say it's Chinese New Year, even if the sky falls, you will continue to practice." Wufeng said, "If you haven't met your sweetheart, you won't understand it naturally."

"It sounds like you have become a relative." Wuying looked disgusted, "I haven't even held the girl's hand, it's not as good as me."

"Don't count the hand holding A Luo, she is only four years old." No wind knocked on his head.

Wuying: "..."

Oh.

Then I haven't been involved.

In Da Kun City, Wen Liunian yawned, lying in a daze under the covers.

It has been separated for a whole year...
