25, goodbye is already a daughter

The way Yan Xing returned was the same as the way he took when he was helping Jiangyi.

However, on this trip, Yan Xing saw not so many people fleeing refugees. This was also thanks to Yan Xing defeating the Baibo army in Xiangling and Linfen, and Guo Tai's main force of the Baibo army, he sieged the Pi family for several months, and the momentum of the Baibo army's continued southward invasion was curbed.

Winter is approaching, and although the common people and Guizhou people are as hard as they lack food and clothing in winter, they at least don’t have to leave their hometowns anymore. They have struggled to escape the war and trek in the snow and snuggle up to each other in the haystacks of broken houses to keep warm, which is better than watching each other fall on the snow or among the withered grass, becoming a hungry man with a breath of energy, and then buried and swallowed by the ruthless wind and snow.

Yan was delighted to be the people who could survive this year of fierce military war, and at the same time he felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. This thing never needed the gift of others. When you stand in that position yourself, you will empathize and sigh.

With a complicated mood, Yan Xing led the army to pass through Wenxi's territory. The journey from Anyi to Jiangyi was about two days. According to the past practice, Yan Xing would stay in Wenxi for a night, and this time was no exception. Seeing that Wenxi City was right in front of him, Yan Xing thought about it and sent someone to the city to inform him.

According to Yan Xing's current identity and official title, of course he could enter the city to stay in pavilions or post offices. However, he has always been rigorous in the military, never throwing troops lightly, and is accustomed to sharing weal and woe with his soldiers. Therefore, Yan Xing just planned to set up camp outside the city tonight and stay overnight.

Sending someone to the Chengzhong County Temple to report it can also be regarded as giving Wenxi a face, which not only avoids unnecessary friction with the soldiers of Jiangyi County who are patrolling the city, but also leaves Wenxi's scholars and people with an image that they do not disturb the people and do good at ease in the army.

When passing by the west of Wenxi City, Yan Xing's soldiers and horses happened to meet a group of people returning to the city.

It looks like a family of big families traveling in the city. In front of the team, not only are there knights holding horses and spears leading the way, but also the guests and servants behind them are mostly carrying swords and bows to guard the chariots in the middle of the team. There are also some big slaves and maids behind them, with dozens of people. It should be undoubtedly the big clans in Wenxi City.

If so many people traveling, if they meet ordinary Guizhou people, they will naturally be the Guizhou people who retreat to both sides of the road. But now they meet Yan Xing's middle-aged soldiers. Yan Xing brought 500 soldiers and armored staffs. The knights who were moving forward were all armed and majestic. Although they were silent, in comparison, the knights who were traveling in the air were captured by the angry horses. They quickly stopped and advanced, and sent people to inform them of the escape.

This section of the official road near the city is only so wide, with many people and vehicles on both sides. Although the people who were traveling from the big family saw many soldiers and horses in front of him, they hurriedly avoided the road, but it still took some time.

At this moment, Yan Xing slowly stepped forward, trying to see which family Wenxi surname he happened to meet.

The knights in the army who were moving forward saw Yan Xingce stepping forward, and quickly approached to report.

"Captain, opposite is Wenxi Pei's traveling team!"

"oh."

After Yan Xing heard that the former was originally from Wenxi Pei's family, he realized it and nodded. Wenxi Pei's family, a famous family in later generations, had not yet grown into a prominent family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was also a famous family in Hedong County.

Pei Ye, the former head of the Pei family, served as General of Duliao and Governor of Bingzhou, and the current head of the Pei family, Pei Mao, was also a county magistrate, county magistrate, and Shangshu Ling. He is still an official in the court and is an important official in the Han Dynasty.

The Pei family has a rigorous family tradition and is also knowledgeable and martial. Therefore, Pei Mao's sons, Pei Qian, Pei Jun, Pei Hui, Pei Ji, Pei Wan, are said to be mostly Hedong talents who are young and smart and proficient in the six arts of classics. The Pei family's power in Hedong may not be as powerful as the Wei family and Fan family, which are rooted in Anyi, but they are better in Qingwang.

Yan Xing thought about these things and originally intended to come forward and meet the Pei family members, but he saw that there were maids accompanying him to the carriages. After thinking about it, he still gave up the rash idea.

However, Yan Xing still looked back and sent the order.

"The Pei family members who were avoiding the road opposite were mostly female members. They ordered the troops and horses in the army to pass quickly when they marched, so that they would not disturb the good people and cause trouble without reason!"

The military order was quickly conveyed, and the Pei family traveling opposite happened to avoid the road next to the road, allowing Yan Xing's many soldiers and horses to pass through.

So Yan Xing led his troops and horses to clean up his team and quickly passed by the middle of the road.

Just as Yan Xing was riding his horse by the Pei family's carriage, he suddenly heard someone screaming.

"ah!"

Yan Xing was sensitive to his ears and eyes. When he heard someone screaming, he immediately turned his head and looked in the sound. What caught his eyes was the horrified expression when a slave looked at him.

Yan Xing frowned slightly. One of Pei's servants seemed to know him, and he seemed to have caused a psychological shadow on him. Looking at his expression, it seemed to be touching, not as if he was false.

But when Yan Xing looked at the slave, he only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have met him, but he couldn't think of a rough idea when and where he was.

With such a strange little episode, Yan Xing was also curious and simply stopped. When his soldiers saw Yan Xing stop suddenly, they also stopped their horses and stopped stepping, looking at the traveling people of the Pei family with different eyes, scaring many of the Pei family's slaves to fear.

The big slave who exclaimed in surprise saw that he was careless and caused a big disaster, causing these Xiliang troops to be frightened. He didn't dare to look at Yan Xing anymore, so he quickly lowered his head and walked to the side of the carriage, knocked it in front of the window, and then whispered to report the matter to the people in the carriage.

After a while, the curtain of the chariot was slightly raised, and the person in the car seemed to be peeping at him secretly. Yan Xing was even more surprised. He did not wear a helmet or a martial arts crown today. I believe that if the person in the car knew him, he would be able to recognize him soon.

Yan Xing was about to send someone to summon the big slave to come and ask in front of the horse, but unexpectedly the car door slowly opened. Under the maid's service, a young woman wearing a pleated skirt of fragrant clouds was slowly getting off the carriage.

The woman's beautiful hair was washed into a drooping hair and a bun. The pleated skirt on her body was made of plain clothes, blue cloud patterns as her clothes, clear eyes and white teeth, and a gorgeous face. When she looked at Yan Xing, she had a faint smile. She raised her hand and raised her feet, which was intoxicating.

When Yan Xing saw this woman, the vague memories in his mind suddenly became clear. The big slave who had just exclaimed was the big slave who was sent by Zhao Yebai with his horse while Fufeng.

And the woman in front of me was the girl who was rescued by her side who sneaked into Sanfu on the wasteland, and then used clever words to solve Yan Xing's troubles!

The memories of the past are like silent spring rain that moistens things, slowly entering Yan Xing's mind, allowing him to reappear the beautiful scene of riding a horse and giving a message to the day.

Yan Xing's hand holding the reins couldn't help but tighten. He thought for a while and ordered his troops who suddenly stopped to camp in the open space in the north of the city first, while he stayed with a small number of personal soldiers.

···

"After a long time, I see you occasionally today. Your grace is even better than the past!"

The woman was not shy. After seeing Yan Xing transferring his troops away, she kept them in person. She knew that he wanted to see him, and moved his lotus steps lightly, alone, without a slave, and walked towards Yan Xing.

Yan Xing smiled when he heard this, letting his personal guards scatter in the distance, leaving a space to meet with the woman alone.

When only the two of them were left, Yan Xing smiled and continued:

"It is a blessing for a soldier to live a life in the battle formation. How can you talk about any kindness? But you, the Lord, you are so quick to see, your eloquence is so quick that you still remember it in your heart. When you meet again, you are already a daughter!"

Speaking of the encounter with You Fufeng, there were both thrilling and strange adventures. The woman also covered her mouth and smiled and said:

"I always remember your words in my heart, 'The world is disordered, and everyone loves each other, and I will leave now!' Your eyes are outstanding, but I don't know how to see the situation in the world, but I can't expect that we will meet here today!"

Yan Xing smiled casually and really made the girl's joke come true. He was able to prophesied the general trend of the world, but he could not guess that he and she would meet again in this place in such a way.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, he took Ganling, Ma Lin and others to sneak into Sanfu. In order to return to Longxian before the snow in winter, he met this girl on the wasteland where he was rushing. Now, four years have passed, and on the way before the winter, he still met a girl in Wenxi.

Wenxi was originally the land of Zuoyi during the Qin Dynasty. It was only after Emperor Wu of Han liked to hear the war to pacify Nanyue here that he turned to "wenxi".

Now, Yan Xing led his army and Wenxi, and he also encountered something that made him feel quiet and happy.

Yan Xing did not answer the girl's predictions about him, but instead asked:

"I had a quick separation in the past year and there was no time to talk about it in detail. Since my wife was from the Pei family, I didn't know who the Pei family Ju Guanggong was?"

Juguang is the name of Pei Mao, the head of the Pei family now. This person is an old minister of the Han Dynasty, so Yan Xing is honored as the Lord.

The girl smiled, without hiding it, and said:

"It's the family man!"

When Yan Xing heard the girl's answer, he immediately understood that the woman in front of him was actually the daughter of the head of the Pei family. No wonder when he first saw her, he felt that she not only behaved gracefully and politely, but also not strangers to others. It turned out that she was a lady from the Pei family and a gentry.

Looking at the man in front of him, the girl saw that he knew his origin and thoughtful, she asked with a smile.

"Since I've told you that I'm from, don't you? You have to report yourself!"

Hearing the girl's playful question, Yan Xing smiled bitterly. Although the Pei family has not yet grown up, his family, the Yan family in Jincheng, is a powerful Wuzong in the border area, how could he compare to the Pei family of Hedong gentry?

The girl's eyes were bright and she immediately saw the meaning behind Yan Xing's smile. Knowing that he was not from a prominent family, she quickly answered:

"You wait. It would be boring to say it like you. Let me guess first, see if I can guess correctly!"

"good!"

Yan Xing also found it interesting when he heard the girl's words and was about to hear how she guessed her origin.

"kindness--"

The girl pretended to look thoughtful when she heard the sound, swung her head and thought for a while, then blinked her eyes and said with a smile:

"If I guess correctly, you are Yan Yanming, the captain who defeated Bai Bo repeatedly!"

Yan Xing also smiled and made the same move as the girl, swayed his neck, and asked in surprise:

"How did you guess this?"

The girl pursed her lips, shook her head, and said:

"You really want to know?"

"Well, I really want to know!"

"Okay, then I will tell you that there is a song recently in Hedong, which is sung like this, 'Ghost School Captain, a sarcastic heart, can drive away evil and be kind to the people. A child cries at night, and calling his name can stop shocking.' You said, who is this ghost school captain talking about?"

Yan Xing was amused by this nursery rhyme. He thought about it before pointing at his nose and smiling:

"Haha, this seems to be scolding me."

During the Han Dynasty, in addition to the good and evil of local officials in governing through the imperial examinations and the praise and criticism of Shilin, the public opinion among the people was also another important instruction. The nursery rhymes that were catchy and criticized the current ills were often one of the weather vanes.

The two sons of Feng Fengshi of the former Han Dynasty, Feng Yewang and Feng Li, were successively the prefects of Shangjun. Because they were all in public and honest positions, people at that time called them the Great and Xiao Fengjun. There were also songs and songs to praise them, saying, "The Great and Xiao Fengjun, the brothers followed each other, and were smart and wise and benevolent to officials and people, and their politics were as good as Lu Wei De Huajun, Zhou Gong, and Kang Shu were as good as the two kings."

For example, when Lian Fan of this dynasty became the prefect of Shu County, he abolished the law prohibiting the people of Chengdu from lighting lamps and weaving cloth at night. Shu brocade was therefore prolific. Chengdu scholars and people were rich, and there were also songs praising Lian Fan, saying, "Lian Shudu, where are you from? You can't help but fire, and the people are safe. I have no robes in my life now."

Yan Xing's troops stationed in Jiangyi were called "Ghost School Captain". They eliminated violence and were killed many people, so they could stop children from crying at night. There were praises and criticisms in it, so Yan Xing smiled and said that this was a scolding of himself.

The girl shook her head and said:

"No, good medicine is hard to speak, and honest advice is good for action. This is the praise and expectation of the people of Hedong. But who could have thought that the knight who drew his sword to save the Wuyuan in the past was the captain of the great Han storm who was intimidating Hedong today?"

Yan Xing nodded, and when he heard the girl's words behind him, he was about to answer the conversation, a young man's tender voice came from behind him.

"Sister, it's getting late, so I'll go home early, so as not to worry that my elder brother will be anxious at home. This gentleman is my elder sister's old friend? Why not move to the city together. All my brothers are hospitality and will definitely have a great conversation with the gentleman."

Yan Xing turned around when he heard the sound and saw a 14 or 15-year-old boy with his hair tied up. He wanted to walk to him, but was stopped by his personal guards and could only shout to him.

This little devil has a needle hidden in the cotton and is eager to protect his sister!

Yan Xing naturally heard the vigilance in the boy's words. He smiled, but didn't mind. He turned around and looked at the girl and asked:

"Your brother?"

"Well, my young brother!"

"Okay, I just led the army through Wenxi and stopped entering the city."

The girl nodded, and with the younger brother staring at him from a distance, Yan Xing couldn't say anything else, so the two bowed and said goodbye to each other.

Just watching the girl leaving, Yan Xing thought about it and couldn't help asking:

"Seeing each other again now is no longer a chance meeting, but I don't know when I will meet again?"

The two met twice. Although they were life-saving, they still said a little abruptly. However, after Yan Xing finished speaking, he could not tolerate regret taking it back. He could only bite the bullet and wait quietly for the girl's reaction.

Fortunately, the girl's reaction was quite fast, and she did not make Yan Xing wait too embarrassed. She stopped and pondered for a while, then looked back and smiled and said:
