Heavy snow falls one after another, thousands of lights are lit, and firecrackers sound to celebrate the New Year.
In the Taiping Villa, Tuan Tuan wore new bright red clothes and played with the little black cat in the snow.
Qiu Ruoruo is building a snowman, and Lei Jun is also helping. This is a situation that cannot be driven away.
Li Qingru and the others also returned from Mofeng City.
In previous New Years, Yu Zhi always wanted to be with Li Qingru, and this year is no exception.
Even in troubled times, stealing a little joy is the greatest happiness.
Yu Zhi looked at the commotion of everyone in the courtyard and said with emotion: "In the past, it was me, Qing Huan and my aunt who were in Wenwen Academy. I never thought it would be so lively this year."
Li Qingru was relieved that she had not disciplined Yu Zhi this year, but he still grew extremely well.
Everything is going in the right direction.
"It's a pity that she's not here." Yu Zhi murmured.
He spoke very softly, but Li Qingru still heard him.
When we were in Kyoto, we even said we would spend this New Year together, but after all, there was one person missing.
Li Qingru said: "Your mother will come to Qiangcheng."
Yu Zhi nodded, still not sure how to get along with Jiang Xiyue.
In the Taiping Villa, there was constant laughter and laughter. After all, once the New Year is over, tomorrow's turmoil will begin again.
On Lianyun Mountain, Yuan Gang, who had been questioned by Yu Zhi, did not leave.
More than two hundred soldiers of the Beidou Camp were enjoying themselves eating meat and drinking wine.
"Everyone eat slowly, there is not enough. The young master has sent more than thirty cattle, sheep and pigs, as well as hundreds of jars of fine wine. However, be sure not to get drunk."
The arrival of the New Year seems to drive away everyone's worries.
In other words, they poured all their worries into drinks.
"Lao Yuan, are you still angry?"
Several people knew that Yuan Gang had a grudge because of what Yu Zhi said that day.
Yuan Gang took a sip of wine, took another bite of meat, and said, "I just can't get angry. Rebuild Beidou Camp. There are rebels outside Mofeng City. If we go there, it won't take three or two days to quell them. We'll fight a few times." The month is not over yet.”
"Now we are asked to do the dirty work for those mortals. I practice to kill enemies, not to be used as cattle and horses for others!"
Several people around him comforted him.
They also have the same feeling in their hearts.
For practitioners, especially after the monument is opened, the mentality of being arrogant and self-proclaimed will gradually emerge.
It's okay to be proud, and it's okay to be frivolous.
But these should be used in the right places.
Several people were drinking wine and eating meat, and most of them looked at the sadness of unrealized ambitions and unfulfilled talents.
At this moment, Wei Wuji walked in, followed by many people. These were common people at the foot of the mountain. Everyone had food boxes in their hands, some were holding drinks, and some were carrying roasted lambs. There was also flying snow hanging along the way.
More than two hundred soldiers all looked at Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji pretended to be angry and said: "You sons of bitches, you gave me a drink when I wasn't here. Don't you think of me as a brother after not seeing you for so many years?"
Everyone laughed, they had a life-long friendship with Wei Wuji.
In the military, there are superiors and subordinates, who give orders and prohibitions.
Privately, they are all brothers who drink and eat meat.
"General Wei, I thought you were with the young master."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The young master has two young mistresses, why should I accompany him?"
Wei Wuji glanced at everyone, paused for a moment on Yuan Gang and others, and continued: "When I went up the mountain, I met these people. I don't know why they went into the mountain in the heavy snow."
"After asking, I found out. This is food for you."
An old man walked out of the crowd.
All the soldiers in the Beidou Camp knew this man. He was a very prestigious old man among the refugees at the foot of the mountain.
The old man bowed to the soldiers and raised his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lords, you are all our saviors. I have only read a few books, and I know the principle of repaying kindness with gratitude."
"This is a little thought from everyone at the bottom of the mountain. I will send it to you adults on New Year's Eve. I hope you will not dislike it."
The old man bowed and handed over to everyone again.
The people behind the old man brought the food one by one.
There was enough food and drink for more than two hundred soldiers, large and small, for several days.
Suddenly, the attic became lively again.
Yuan Gang, who was sitting in the corner, looked at this scene with a complicated expression. He picked up the wine jar and shook it, only to find that the wine in the jar was gone.
At this time, an old man in his fifties handed over a jar of wine and a leg of lamb in his hand.
"My lords, please eat and drink well."
Several people smiled kindly, and this smile seemed to be hiding something.
The old man did not leave. He looked at Yuan Gang and said, "Master Yuan, you saved my son a few days ago. My son specifically asked me to express my gratitude to Master Yuan."
Yuan Gang looked confused.
Is there such a thing?
The old man explained: "I was hunting in Lianyun Mountain a few days ago. If Master Yuan hadn't saved me, that tiger would have eaten my son."
Yuan Gang recalled that a tiger was particularly ferocious that day and almost killed a man.
But no matter how ferocious the tiger is, in Yuan Gang's eyes, it is just a bigger cat.
After killing the tiger and saving people, he didn't care.
What seemed like a trivial matter to Yuan Gang turned out to be a life-saving grace that both father and son will remember throughout their lives.
"I'm here to thank Mr. Yuan for my son." The old man said and was about to kneel down.
Yuan Gang put down the wine jar in his hand and supported the old man. "Old man, it doesn't have to be like this. We, the soldiers of Beidou Camp, are supposed to protect the people. This is what I should do."
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears. "We fled all the way from Nanzhou Prefecture, afraid of encountering wolves, tigers and leopards, and even more afraid of encountering officers and soldiers. When we came to Qiang City, we were lucky to meet Lord Yu and the Lords of Beidou Camp."
The old man told me everything he encountered along the way.
Fleeing people have never been able to escape the fate of death.
Either starve to death, or be forcibly captured by the army and put into a military camp, where the men fight and the women are humiliated.
These people have been through so much.
When Yuan Gang heard this, he slapped the table and said angrily: "These bastards are not soldiers, they are worse than beasts. If I meet them, chop them up!"
The others were equally indignant.
Beidou Camp's military laws are strict, and there is no such thing as a dog-eat-dog incident.
How could the soldiers of Beidou Camp not be angry after hearing these things?
After about half an hour, people began to come down the mountain one after another, and there were family members at the foot of the mountain.
However, Yuan Gang and others fell into endless silence.
Yuan Gang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to express it.
Someone said: "Lao Yuan, I think there is some truth in what the young master said."
"More than a little truth? Young Master, you are right. When our Beidou Camp was destroyed, who in the world could say a word for us?"
"You, Lao Yuan, killed a tiger casually and saved someone else's life. Their family will be grateful to you forever."
"Yeah, maybe what seems insignificant to us is a top priority in their eyes."
"It's not just them who are guarding one side. The majesty of galloping on the battlefield is just a fleeting thing."
Several people were talking in various directions.
Yuan Gang kept drinking wine.
Although it was New Year's Eve, he was not happy at all.
Yu Zhi's words that day and the old man's gratitude today all came to Yuan Gang's mind.
At this moment, he knew he was wrong.
It was difficult to travel on the windy and snowy road, and the mountain road was covered with a light layer of white frost.
After eating, Yu Zhi took Li Wantong and Su Muchi to Lianyun Mountain.
When Yu Zhi saw more than two hundred people drinking wine and eating meat, and the dishes on the table were richer than what he had eaten, Yu Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "I saw that your food is much better than mine."
No one expected that Yu Zhi would come to Lianyun Mountain at this time.
"I have met the young master and the young mistress!"
Li Wantong and Su Muchi looked at each other. It was the first time that the two of them appeared with Yu Zhi in front of the soldiers of Beidou Camp.
Yu Zhi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be so formal on New Year's Eve."
Yu Zhi poured a glass of wine and said to everyone: "You have worked hard these days. With your help, tens of thousands of refugees can enjoy their families tonight. I, Yu Zhi, would like to drink a glass to you all."
Wei Wuji said: "Young Master, these food are sent by the people at the foot of the mountain."
Yu Zhi curled his lips and said with envy: "Why didn't I receive it? These people really... only remember how good you are and have completely forgotten about me."
One sentence made everyone laugh.
On New Year's Eve, who doesn't want to be remembered and remembered.
When you are in a foreign land, the warmth of strangers will make you feel more at ease.
"Young Master, you two young mistresses might as well eat some here." Someone shouted.
Yu Zhi glared at the man and said, "Goodbye. It's snowing, so I have to go back and warm up the bed. You guys eat well and drink well."
Everyone laughed again.
Li Wantong and Su Muchi waited for Yu Zhi fiercely.
After just a few words, Yu Zhi planned to leave.
At this time, Yuan Gang, who was standing in the corner, squeezed through the crowd and walked up.
"Young Master, I, Yuan Gang, made a mistake. Please punish me, Young Master."
Several people behind Yuan Gang also knelt in front of Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi looked at Yuan Gang indifferently, the corners of his mouth curved.
He stretched out his hand to help Yuan Gang up, and at the same time motioned for the others to get up.
Yu Zhi said: "It seems you have thought clearly."
Yuan Gang's eyes were firm and he said in a deep voice: "I have thought clearly. I will never leave Beidou Camp. I will follow the young master to rebuild the glory of Beidou Camp!"
Yu Zhi smiled happily and glanced at everyone.
"To be honest, I'm very afraid of trouble, but I can't help myself. I don't like to show off my authority. If no one does the dirty work, let me do it. The important thing is, People live.”
"Since Beidou Camp arrived in Qiang City, I have rarely appeared in Beidou Camp. The reason why I am the young master of Beidou Camp is entirely because my father is Yu Shanhe and because of the support of General Wei. But what I want to rebuild is no longer the former emperor. The Beidou Camp cannot break its fate, but it is the Beidou Camp that protects the world."
"If you are willing to follow me, glory will be restored soon."
His burning eyes fell on Yu Zhi.
In an instant, more than two hundred soldiers knelt down.
"My subordinates are willing to follow the young master to the death. Please, young master, strengthen the reputation of our Beidou camp!"
To this day, all the people in the old Beidou Camp have returned to Yuzhi.
Li Wantong and Su Muci's eyes were filled with brilliance. This was the Yu Zhi they admired.
The brave young man has heavy armor on his shoulders, and the general's aura is proud of the world!
