Today is the last day of the year 3918 in the Taoist calendar, which is also the day of "Sui Chu", where the old year is removed and a new year is replaced.
It was still early in the morning, and the entire Yuncheng was already decorated with lights and colorful lights, beaming with joy.
Although Lingxiao Pavilion is an extraordinary sect, it is not immune to celebrations, and the Lingxiao secret place is decorated with red and bright colors. A little less fairy-like and a little more popular.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Anan's little hand circled in front of his eyes: "It's your turn!"
Jiang Wang hasn't gone anywhere in the past few days. He has been playing with little An'an in all his free time outside of practice.
At this moment, there was a chess table in front of them, with the black and white pieces clearly distinguishable.
The brother and sister sat opposite each other, which looked pretty decent.
only……
Jiang Wang thought for a while, and finally made up his mind, dropped Heizi, and took out the last stroke of the word "ginger".
"Brother." Jiang Anan said with concern while using the word 'an' in Bai Zi, "You have been thinking about it for so long. Is this word unfamiliar to you?"
There were some matters on my mind that were not suitable for talking to Xiao Anan, so Jiang Wang said perfunctorily: "Sometimes it is inevitable to forget to write when I pick up my pen."
Jiang Anan quickly took out a stack of copybooks from the squirrel box and smiled happily: "That's still unfamiliar. I have copybooks here, you can use them to practice! You're welcome!"
"Haha." Jiang Wang smiled and touched her little head: "No need, brother bought a lot, enough to practice calligraphy. I will give some to you later!"
The two brothers and sisters are enjoying themselves happily. You push me and give way to each other, so they live in harmony.
Ye Qingyu walked in at this moment.
"Are you playing chess again?" She looked at the 'chess game' with a smile in her eyes: "You two are really matched up in chess."
Jiang Anan took the opportunity to skip the topic of the copybook, got up and hugged Ye Qingyu: "Sister Qingyu, are you coming to play with us?"
"Yes." Ye Qingyu responded softly: "Isn't this New Year's Eve? Your Senior Sister Wang is preparing the phoenix lanterns for the evening! Do you want to go over and take a look first?"
"Okay!" Jiang Anan agreed decisively and had a resolute temperament. She let go of Ye Qingyu, covered her head and rushed out.
"Stop!" Jiang Wang shouted quickly.
Jiang Anan reluctantly stopped and turned around: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Wang picked up the stack of copybooks that Xiao Anan had casually stuffed under the chess table, stretched it forward, and put on a friendly smile on his face: "Why are you so careless? I forgot to take the copybooks with me."
"Oh..." Jiang Anan came over slowly, put the stack of copybooks back into the squirrel box, and ran away with a pout.
Ye Qingyu looked at this scene amusedly, thinking that both his brother and sister were very interesting.
After pouring a cup of tea, Jiang Wang made a 'please use' gesture and asked directly: "Do you have something to tell me, Fellow Daoist Ye?"
The relationship between the two has become much closer since Chi Yunshan and his party. There is no need to be too deliberate when speaking.
There was naturally a reason why she deliberately sent Xiao Anan away.
Ye Qingyu's expression became a little serious: "I just got the news that the conflict between Zhuang and Yong suddenly intensified, and a war broke out early this morning. Now the Zhuang army has crossed the Qichang Mountains and defeated the Yong army stationed in the north of the Qichang Mountains in one fell swoop The border army has entered the Yong Kingdom and marched into Lingbei Prefecture!"
There was no expression on Jiang Wang's face, but the sudden ripples of water in the tea cup showed that his heart was by no means peaceful.
"This is too sudden." He said, holding the tea cup.
Suddenly, tonight is New Year's Eve. Everyone is preparing to welcome the New Year. There is a festive atmosphere everywhere, but Zhuang Guo launches a war on this day.
The goal was sudden. Zhuang is weak and Yong is strong, this is a fact that anyone with a discerning eye can see. No matter how weak the Yong state is, it will still be like a centipede insect that is dead but not stiff. No matter how fast the Zhuang state is changing, after all, it has insufficient foundation.
Moreover, earlier in the city of Buhu, the three kingdoms of Zhuang, Luo, and Yong had already made an agreement not to conquer.
But this time, he was suddenly torn apart by Zhuang Guo, who was supposed to be the weak side!
Judging from the news that Ye Qingyu knew.
The source of the entire incident was the dispute between hunters from the two countries in the Qichang Mountains.
The fighting between Orions triggered a ten-day standoff between the border troops of the two countries. The Yong State border army refused to hand over the murderer of the Orion in Shanyang City. The Zhuang State border army was filled with indignation, and major conflicts almost broke out several times.
Yong's army is used to being tough, and Zhuang's army is gradually gaining confidence. The border troops of the two countries refuse to give in to each other.
In order to avoid a larger-scale conflict, Zhuang Ting ordered the country's border troops to retreat. It is said that the border troops left in tears. They were forced to evacuate under military orders and shed tears along the way.
The breaking point was a soldier named Chen Shikai, who disobeyed military orders and deserted on the way out, leaving only a suicide note.
One man, armed with a sword, returned to the Qichang Mountains, and single-handedly forcibly demanded the murderer of the Orions of Zhuang State. After being rejected, he rushed to the Yong State border army alone... and of course he died in front of the border in the end.
There was only one crooked line in his suicide note——
Zhuang people cannot die in vain!
After Chen Shikai's suicide note was discovered, the entire border army stopped and refused to take a step back. The crowd was furious and everyone wanted to fight.
The general of the border army couldn't beat back the soldiers with whips, and finally he cried and wrote a letter begging for war in tears. The book said, "I would like to take the lead and be the first to die in front of the two armies."
The entire frontier army consisted of 357 people, and everyone wanted to die!
It is said that when Zhuang Gaoxian heard about this, he smashed the dragon chair to pieces in the court hall and said: "The people's heart can be relied on, and the military's heart can be used. The hatred of the past will be avenged day and night!"
So he raised an army to attack Yong and conquered the country to fight!
When Lingxiao Pavilion received the news, Zhuang's army had already crossed the Qichang Mountains and invaded the North Mansion of Yongguoling.
"Too sudden!" Jiang Wang repeated again. It seemed that only by repeating this could he suppress his agitated mood.
The hatred between Zhuang and Yong can be traced back to the founding of the People's Republic of China. The entire process of establishing the Zhuang Kingdom was a process of confrontation with the Yong Kingdom.
The hatred between the two countries may never be erased.
But this national war was still too sudden.
Ye Qingyu looked at him with some worry: "Just celebrate the New Year here with An An. The war between Zhuang Yong will not affect the Yun Kingdom."
The Kingdom of Yun is a kingdom above the clouds, and the entire country is built on the top of a mountain. Geographically, there is no friction with other countries. The Yun Kingdom has always remained neutral and never expanded its territory. The Yun Kingdom caravan travels all over the world and maintains good relations with many countries.
No matter how hard Zhuang and Yong fought, they could not affect Yun. Moreover, Ye Lingxiao has already achieved Dongzhen. Neither Zhuang nor Yong will be stupid enough to find a real person as their opponent outside of the war.
Ye Qingyu is the person who knows Jiang Wang's experience best. She is worried that Jiang Wang will participate in the war between Zhuang and Yong after learning the news. A magical inner palace is certainly powerful, but in such a national war, even the Shenlin monks are at risk of falling, let alone the inner palace. If you get involved rashly, something may happen.
"I know."
Jiang Wang subconsciously stroked the tea cup. The texture of the porcelain came into contact with his skin, giving him a complicated feeling.
"I know," he repeated.
