Luoyang City on New Year's Eve seemed much more lively than before. Big red lanterns hung throughout Changle Street. The owners and friends of the shops on both sides rarely stopped today and went home for a reunion dinner early.⊙.

The bright fireworks shine on the statue in the middle of the city, reflecting the face of Emperor Taizu, making him look more energetic.

After tonight, it will be the 128th year of Yonghe Li.

Flying snow like willow catkins floated in the sky, splashing, dyeing the entire Dajin Dynasty pure white. People who had been busy for a whole year were smiling and making noise in the vast snow.

Tonight, whether it is the drunk girl in the flower building, the bloody soldiers on the front line, whether it is the farmers in ordinary families, or the high-ranking practitioners, they all relieved their fatigue for a whole year and devoted all their minds to the best wishes and hopes for the future.

There shouldn't be war next year.

You should be able to redeem yourself next year.

Next year should be a good harvest year.

Next year, you should be able to take your own level to a higher level.

Even the emperor, who is above and beyond reach, should be willing to continue to be prosperous and safe in the next year.

It's like the past one hundred and twenty-seven years.

New Year's Eve is of course a rare time for family reunion, especially for the wealthy families, princes and generals in the capital.

As usual, this year the Qin family still booked the entire Moon Watching Tower, and distributed silver rewards to the men in each hall early, and invited all the shopkeepers and entourages from the branches of each state to gather together.

In the past, the second master of the Qin family and the shopkeeper of the Luoyang General Hall, Wei Zhiyuan.

However, this year, there were a different candidate. Now listed on both sides of the main seat, the Fourth Master of the Qin family and the only young master of the Qin family, Qin Yan.

Such a result has long been expected by many people, so it is not very new.

Qin Xiaohua, the head of the Qin family, and the chief shopkeeper of Shantang, was sitting upright on the main seat with a smile. He was still holding the short black staff at his hand, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have become deeper.

Qin Xiaohua is already very old, but as long as he is still alive, the Qin family is his Qin family, and there will only be one sound.

Therefore, no matter whether it was the death of Wei Chongfeng or the loss of power of the second family of the Qin family, it was impossible to bring any ripples to this wealthy family that had been standing for more than 500 years.

Shantang is still Shantang, and the Qin family is still Qin family. It seems that nothing has changed.

Perhaps the only difference is that Qin Yan, the young master of the Qin family, seemed not very interested. Except for the fact that he barely smiled on his face when he was toasting to the great master on his routine, he looked a little haggard at other times.

Qin Xiaohua did not blame her for such a situation, and everyone could understand that after all, in the battle of the Jinyuan Secret Realm, she lost her most capable subordinate and the Mr. Xia who changed her life.

If you think about it carefully, it was already several months ago, but in fact, Qin Yan just returned to Beijing in the past two days.

Or to be more precise, when she and Cao Chongfeng, Feng Bin and others returned to Taihe Mountain, more than two months had passed since the real world.

Thinking back to the time when Qin Yan first entered the Jinyuan Secret Realm, the leaves on Taihe Mountain had just been dyed yellow by the autumn wind, and when she left the foot of Taihe Mountain, the dark river outside the Sunset Valley had already frozen.

Time has changed, and two months is enough for too many things to happen.

The bad news that came one after another made Qin Yan think that she was in an absurd and distant nightmare.

For example, a group of teachers and students from Chunqiu Academy were ambushed by aliens on their way back to the hospital and were almost wiped out.

For example, the Qin family's branch in Huizhou was attacked by a ferocious beast. The branch manager, together with several worshippers in the guard hall, and more than a dozen guests died in a misfortune.

For example, the South China Sea demon clan suddenly launched a large-scale invasion of the north, and now it has successively captured the two southernmost borders of the Dajin Dynasty. Although it has temporarily stopped due to the arrival of winter, no one knows when the war will restart.

Finally, it was heard that the Han family among the nine major families had already declared war against the Pei family, which was protected by the saints. The two sides fought fiercely for dozens of times, but no one could get a bargain. Dongyang County of the Han family was even more prosperous than before, and Qishan where the Pei family was located was still standing.

But there is no doubt that many people died on both sides.

Among them, Pei Yuan, the eldest grandson of the Sword Saint, slaughtered a large army of thousands of people in the Han family with one sword on the shore of Changshi Lake in Nanchuan. He became famous in one battle and shocked the world!

Of course, all of this is not what Qin Yan cares about the most.

She just wanted to know whether he was still alive and if he was alive, where was he.

After leaving Taihe Mountain, she went to Baima Town, but found that the former Wanfu Building had changed its shopkeeper and the mayor's mansion had a new owner, and everything had changed.

She also went to Yanyu Tower, but only saw a ruin. The former mist of luxury had long dissipated in the dust.

She even went to the Weining Marquis Mansion and realized that Ye Xiao'e had not been able to return as scheduled. Now the Ye family is in great chaos because of the mistress's grief.

If she had known that the distinction in the secret realm would be eternal, maybe she would have made a different choice.

But in the final analysis, how did the Jinyuan Secret Realm collapse and collapse at that time?

No one can answer Qin Yan's doubts, because all the people who came out of the Jinyuan Secret Realm did not know what happened that day, and those who knew what happened disappeared with that guy.

Fortunately, this desperate feeling did not accompany Qin Yan for too long, because one day, a barefoot girl in black found her and told her the stories of those wanderers trapped in the secret realm for a hundred years.

This brought real hope to Qin Yan.

Let her believe that he will come back.

Whether it is a hundred years or two hundred years, as long as he is still alive, he will definitely come back.

As long as she is still alive, she will definitely be able to wait for his return.

He was upset, and Qin Yan didn't even notice that the head of the Qin family was announcing a very important thing during the meal.

It is officially listed as the only heir to the Qin family in the future.

It was not until Kang Wuwei's reminder that Qin Yan came to her senses, thanked the head of the family, and greeted the uncles and shopkeepers, and the matter was completely confirmed.

Of course, in two days Shantang should hold a more grand ceremony to invite guests from all walks of life to give this testimony. In this way, life will continue to be busy after the New Year.

Qin Yan didn't think so far. After the banquet dispersed, she walked alone on the bustling streets, allowing the snowflakes to fall on her head, and did not inspire the spirit in her body to resist.

If Bi Qingwen was still there, he would definitely follow her, hold up a yellow paper umbrella for her, and quietly miss a departing old friend with her.

But soon, this rare silence was shattered by a rush of horse hooves.

The gate of Luoyang City quietly opened, and a team of marching in military uniforms broke into the snow outside the city, which suddenly brought a hint of murderous intention to this beautiful New Year's Eve atmosphere.

Marquis of Weining, the commander of the Thorn Army, and Ye Jiang were ordered to return to Beijing to report their duties!
